Have you ever been awake62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai8AuyUWmJ
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNwqeV6qgW
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFuOchc4Xd
day goes on?copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkDmPBXnDK62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58veJZNDW9

That's how I felt right at this moment.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1ams91ynr62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNXTecPlC5

I tossed in my bed, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7KMWX4812
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7aRlTR9xO
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUBgOQsDc4
could come up so that I could meet my end already.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwNERkzTzu62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJucug8rlhs

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.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXP1jECg2g62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCAxtVrl4Z

I fell back on my bed, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nTLDHB5lN
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4hmyyvZUM
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshp2PTYge3
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnq984RK9c
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkhPGQobQi
till sunrise, but waking up three times meant I was too bothered in my 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiAnlpgkGv
mind even to dream.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WhbiKljjJ62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWSO51SXL2

I turned to my other 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jmr92hxe7
side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms. 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcqqAMPQ7w
How I wish I could fall asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluseixfau0
slightly in her sleep. I stared up at the dark ceiling trying to 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEky6tBo1Q
picture things in my mind but I couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR2XiCJ8tQ
working.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡLufy87TI0t62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPl63DEjO9

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.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoq2qJH30J62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1OEzU7bi8

I knew I now had to face62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O04LjGvra
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ZHb3lQma
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and I. And even 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGbNkKIsW0
though she was tired when we got back, she still hadn't stopped 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXPC1BVI7m
bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1GAcZkyjD62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStsSbEVxui

I knew her persistance 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtYShjDZMA
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nxP0zrVhy
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha2J2enYMS
her if I had to tell her the truth.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡh48xDgEwYF62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtmfmDz0Cl

I know sometimes we 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADJ8sJHUEZ
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW9vGcK4bw
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsZiHmVhmy
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXbm5E5MzK
had now reached that point.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb4pdu9Ux962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2GVym7iri

I sighed again as I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnLOFtaBKx
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanumJz1PmA

If it came to G-Dragon, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhrf57IgIs
he was going to be one person who will be difficult to talk to. I know I62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTQigzShoe

How was I going to tell 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB4mTkWLBk
him that yes, Daesung and I did kiss, but all of that happened due to a 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuimZwNFmo
completely different story? I know how bad he must be feeling and if I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPguhAPO2TB

either.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QZafdEo7c62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RHldHR1ne

I kicked out the bed 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcuUu5Ki8D
covers and got up from the bed. And taking Mr Panda with me and my 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl27DOdew4
phone, I slipped my feet into my bed slippers and walked out of the room62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszVaV9RNaf
in my purple pyjamas.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM4J7w6qj262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ArvuWBeeJ

I went straight for the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS85UfIJsXg
dark, empty lounge and I turned on the lights. I went to sit on the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpPsAKBsxL
comfortable couch and with my feet up and folded with Mr Panda in my 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzm95Q5G5j

her at the right time. I wasn't really sure what time it would be back 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNQliJ3wlf
home in the US. I was too bothered to even try and figure out all this 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeXhX9srV5
time zones nonsense. I just had to talk to someone. And why not my mum?copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyMVI18mqg62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuq3pUIbt5

I put the phone to my ear hoping she would pick up. I just hope she wasn't busy at work or something.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ2DIa9PAt62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mSTHbDLHZ

She finally picked up the phone on the fourth ring.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEd9qwbvED62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ndYFb87C3

"Ya, I can see you guys 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst5ZRGmZrK
smiling and laughing on the photos." I could hear clicking in the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xc5lgUHVZ
background and that confirmed that she was tapping away on the mouse of 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmmRNpqleA
her computer as she looked at the pictures.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4thkvUuMd62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH3SGVz3U0

with a stern look on her face as she said that. If we weren't talking on62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FePleLCt8

her arms folded.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMCVZu0HgA62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj7fatpb0Z

"I know it's way too early in the morning for you to be awake right now," she continued. "What's up?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg6qHP3Pw762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6EzWZNHBh

"I feel my whole life has been nothing but a lie, mum," I said as I tugged at Mr Panda's ears.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zUmvKoafs62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0f1AQr1ZF

"Expected from me?" Zoey62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo4E6fVyWv
grinned as she flipped her hair to the side. "I know, you're surprised.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSv3FtuTDG
I like him, you like him, the whole world likes him."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuHAavg0Yg62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSEOJzvEav

"Zoey, I..." Zoey placed her index finger on my lips to keep me from talking further.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt0MZJnlub62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3TrI0HDzE

"I know you feel guilty 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TwEWc7q5K
that you like him because I do too. Don't worry about it, because I know62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VDLJmlf1v
that you wouldn't try to steal him away from me."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ0qAw9C0x62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoyEPgFxTe

I gulped. What was I going to tell her now? How was I going to her that G-Dragon liked me and not her?copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y1K9cfpcd62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb27HG4TOvZ

"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9HGWGpj1U62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCVcoEzJUA

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."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXKvok2xX262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFYNjO4YmY

I wanted to slap my 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx0lfHp9wV
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95x4iWJRGE
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVjrIDfMCB
it gets out of hand.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50B6KKiZ9v62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP9LbptAzZ

"Zoey, listen to me," I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI53Nn0xfG
said as I looked at her in the eye. "I admit that I like G-Dragon, but 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHBu8k7o7K
not in the way you think. You on the other hand, need to know that...."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPFUvBBVUD62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SzaDKz7l9

I paused. That was odd. 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RRcVFAVcP
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnxdRGxZ5E
felt someone had just cast a spell on me and now I was tongue tied.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpBBUZVWxT62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6xjga4Qhq

Zoey looked at me, irritated that I had stopped talking. "What do I need to know?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCTAJDk2Du62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZohRBdwb8J

What was wrong with me? I had so much confidence when I was talking just now and I still do. But now, I couldn't say anything.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRkdMQOoLJ62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L6yYYfwYk

I opened my mouth to speak, but still nothing came out. Zoey shook her head.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B8Cc3C8Za62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIqI1HT6yb

"You're weird, Sam," 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxAOpb1Wma
Zoey stood up from my bed and went straight for the bathroom. "When you 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnVMWUKbqJ

waiting."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZNWzwAUze62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6KZU9bV6x

Zoey closed the door and62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LU1xQVi2m
I heard the shower tap turn on. Oh no! I blew it this time and that 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yZtvkXayw
just proves that telling her the truth was going to be a whole lot 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYD7Yxh9tn
harder than I thought.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡp76JlSzahl62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy9BAHsw0u

At least Zoey knew that I62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS22RwybtIK
once liked G-Dragon, that's if she really took what I said seriously. 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05IDdGbuQE
This was all so messed up and I felt like I was going nuts.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiX1Va5yj562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwd28NJAjK

I stood up from my bed 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cM73jFfMo
and started to pace up and down, thinking. What happened to me a few 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNtIrGpCbf
minutes ago? Why couldn't I tell Zoey the truth? Well, half of it, which62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4Mu7UhRvB
is the most important part.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl4wiE3SyC62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAOnHSGn7t

"It's not your portion to say anything to Zoey. And you know it."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YKdH56gfn62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7hfQIWfl7

Whatever my conscious 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCcg6jboaG
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MgO9XGQlN
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that what I was tongue tied62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6VBmLji0F
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8GzaCJfa262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvhCLnWWL7

If that was the case, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMTTA3QgUb
then G-Dragon better do it fast. The earlier it was, the better. Before 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eiZQELaWM
Zoey really gets too much involved with him or else she would be 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnh6Z3tW0f

While I was trying to 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWbRV1wGbt

out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GAOUiU0y962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRqSQWtSjl

When I checked the caller ID, I raised an eyebrow. An unknown number. I wonder who it was?copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡobi4KtGuIR62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSh1Jd3gUf

I answered the call. "Hello?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3KVs9CvBb62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJngA7nqVYe

"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GSIvM0pNz62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO59GW5aOp

I held my breath. That 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEhOF11IhW
sent a chill down my spine. Who was this? Dang it! I'm supposed to be 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1jdCrA3mz
asking that question, not thinking it.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbKRgukXZ362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5nne4jkf8

I cleared my throat. "Hello? May I know who this is?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv6yryI34k62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLM1zs2Bak

The man chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What matters is that we talk."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc07UwUUVI62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8mQlYiW1E

"Oh!" I slapped my forehead. "I never downloaded it to see what it was." I raised an eyebrow. "What's the photo about?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmRTemyFBh62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSyyMB68Hf

"If you haven't seen it,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7WkUulFkj

"If I'm involved? What do you mean?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKAM7f3oGi62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCOrAH82Vu

I could soon hear the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtirOE6li3
person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1NAGSp5U1
break it. What was going on today? First, I had G-Dragon and Zoey to 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlADa2dRagM
handle and now, I had this stranger calling me and making things worse.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2dwg10Qp962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5gXw5BDqU

I looked back at my 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPVuqCmPHh
phone and started to go straight to my messages. I checked the message I62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3RudTI53Y
had received from the unknown man and I realised that I still hadn't 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI38FAdgdD
downloaded the picture. I switched on my mobile data and started to 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUt6oTJLJr
download the photo.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24unYIrcql62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AuU5INNNR

"Sam! Zoey!" Lee came all of the sudden into the room. She almost scared me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb5lYcB1Bi62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFzPOfp1wC

"Goodness, Lee!" I held my chest as my heart beat fast. "There is a thing called knocking, you know?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSkxoBzorZ62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHx8NV2xHM

"Okay. Get ready, we have to leave for the studio."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHqAfPbPdC62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9lpi9kkG2

I nodded and Lee left. I62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FMt8qVjSa
went back to looking at my phone. I frowned. The internet was so slow 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibbX31qcgV
today. The photo hadn't finished downloading yet.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM6SPYUAh962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ84cxnlSI2

"I'm done," said Zoey as she came out of the bathroom in her towel. "You go get ready."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV99EvuBsR62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOHGiP7e9Z

"I just want to see something first," I said as I pointed at my phone.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HzzhOosDC62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpraApeBQqS

thing because something else would just pop up all of the sudden.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3zJgVXraL62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4rDTaE6rx

I went to the bathroom 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEc06CiemD
and locked the door behind me. Before I could undress and get into the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRWSt0NdP1
shower, I went over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my own 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI5HlZR06i
reflection.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAlg85hcjU62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFXKF3mXiJ

I looked like I hadn't 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaBy34yRin

deeply troubled, that's for sure. My problems just got increased by one 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0ImKoq6mI
if not by two.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpFV30qxJo62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXTrvWv3NN

my main problem to tackle today. And all of the sudden, an unknown 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5sorcMSj8
stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA96uABq6Fe
about. And why he sent it to me, was the most confusing part. If he 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7VfEAPEcu
wasn't blackmailing me, then what was this charade about?copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4reOI9L9k62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Szyg1L2U4

After I took a quick 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuehZPTpVz
shower, I quickly went back in the room and I went straight for my phone62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQGA5kaUZm
on Zoey's bed. Zoey had already dressed up and she went past me into 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5eZEu1pxV
the bathroom to get her makeup done.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2USi3XAfg62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJqJ1pyUPu

I unlocked my phone. I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutka3qvelu
was pretty anxious about the photo that even my hands were shaking. The 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKAOKfjLFR
photo must be done downloading by now.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXFaSJbihV62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9A7TBwswl

Just as I unlocked the phone, it vibrated. Someone was calling me. Oh no! What now?copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV08aPQkA062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0PhbTIG73

"My night was perfect, since I dreamt of you."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rsTl4AZTA62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHYMZ8wTPH

"Oh, wow," I said, trying to act a little surprised. I hope he bought it.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n8p5IG9UU62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCe1EvafM9

"I've a little something I want to give you when you get to YG."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZmBSHGtHz62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJQbwQj2J9

I smiled a little. At 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ40zRKQhfg
least out of all that was going on, Seungri managed to make me smile. 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FSfGxKQNw
Which was quiet peculiar because he didn't say anything funny. I was 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00fRbLHvOr

He cut the line and I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNyqsFNREr
threw my phone on the bed. I decided to dress up first and have my 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS7Q01QFFH
breakfast, before Zoey came back in the room and start to pressurise me 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QAAgketLn
again. I had already pissed her enough this morning.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr2XLoy8w562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFb15DHTvm

After I dressed up and 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1esRetIT9
Zoey had left for breakfast, I went in the bathroom to get my hair done 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1Z0BgkQJ6
and applied a bit of makeup to hide my dark circles. When I was done, I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcMoeS2WLx
went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6zxyrL29F

There was a variety of breakfast options today and I decided to take some cereal, which I haven't had in a while.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KpjunI3Ep62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i9pMCuSKn

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.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXrFbOoOrb62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjC1qMTFkU

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.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IrD3dxfSk62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oKLz6Zsgb

"I can see that," said 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfz2TbCsSC

When we were done with 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxgez9qbBi
breakfast, we headed downstairs in the lobby and the black SUV was 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1HcYudKqQ
waiting for us as usual. When we got in, I made sure to take the back 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqbHLYX2LW

were engrossed in some conversation that I had no interest in listening62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiGnClq5qE

I quickly pressed the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuktLer6HT

I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFU6RbXSxV
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWC1GCVUlE
choreography today. This was hectic. And I knew that if I was pushed 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVCUN1s7CY
further onto the edge, I would burst.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdrU33YgP562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6EDdwOaol

My heart skipped a beat.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcCZ7p0zwD
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfKbSXHH76
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cRlUEjfmd
choice.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡJInRddUwYG62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJqyIxXJ6u

As soon as I stepped out62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEK6QC4xkb
of the vehicle, I took a deep breath as I looked at the entrance. I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnnwIia2xx
felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWTqRXuPej62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftgF2ZcZIj

"Are you okay, Sam?" Christine asked as she came to stand in front of me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0p2lpDkuM62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5XecNRglb

"I'm fine," I said. "I just realised that I haven't really thought of any ideas for the music video."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡneuL6IZ0eX62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZyPvg7GiF

"You're aren't the only 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy9udbtqbc

to work on that when we get in there."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdUBELz8BN62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbOv0kM805

As I came into the lobby62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13nE06vajM

me and hugged me. That brought me right back down to earth.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAkUu1FvV362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAt5zmILic

"Tell me about it," said62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZfOGUT39e
Zoey as she was now on the floor with Daesung standing right beside her62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixpAVvGRHo
and she was removing her shoes. "She's been weird all morning."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1zBGU7LEo62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFux7EfVxI

"Too weird," said Daniel.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVBRerHzW362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJRZjMv0Ec

"And ate sweet cereal for breakfast instead of bacon, eggs and toast," said Christine.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eTD684NH162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Oy98lF9Z

"And refused to give me her phone to check out what she was watching," said Mike.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxxWWEHgTe62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy3KsEJ0uE

I shrugged. "So? And Mike, seriously? Just over a phone?" I shook my head at my brother.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡev1uoPspba62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73BRjO4WcD

"It's not like you, Sam," said Daniel. "That's all we are trying to say."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡnepgRvoWj662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UMQtWYOB8

I rubbed my forehead. "Look, guys, I'm just a little bummed out because of yesterday. Is that so wrong?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaEv7A9PQ262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtGRd9vXa0

"No, I think something is bothering you," said Zoey, still on the floor.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35y5AXU2m562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh3d8m1dje

"I'm fine. Trust me. My mind is pretty tired."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJjC0b8p8r62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk8DbBz9qa

Zoey slapped Daesung's leg with her hand and Daesung looked down at her. "Don't try to defend her."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCHlHiiClF62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpzEDI1EVk

"I'm not."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzp2bqdkPl62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLE1pPDYZ4

Zoey snickered at him and I knew why. She still remembered the little incident yesterday with Daesung and I.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmsnw36hOF62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hjMgpDo0r

"Where is G-Dragon?" Daniel asked.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBiBW0UfCf62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCQggtYh8U

I looked around the room and I noticed that GD was the only group member who wasn't here.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkOlm0LAkB62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2Gg456I36

"He went to get the choreographer," TOP answered.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5XottrALf62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMco5YFuB4v

"Now, Sam, about your little problem...." said Mike, turning to face me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFRyhNzb3b62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L7T1on0Gw

"Not to worry, my little kitty," said Seungri who stood right behind me. "Maybe this will cheer you up."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpHENa7fKT62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8WbeVQJxU

Before I could turn 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAFmuHKRIq
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDJXeiAVYW
head. My hand reached for whatever it was.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0ymyPa81d62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK4DViyM16

"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡjscQIxJYCc62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgGnCb5m3N

I took the crown from 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrqxpFP0BN
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhy0Vujthk
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYAhlcsqzv
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenXFUmlKnW
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjChXqr5Fb62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyje6k9BDDS

"Wait, are these real diamonds?" I asked as I turned to look at Seungri with a surprised look on my face.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbcxxLnHTp62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdRyvdLXDl

"It is," said Seungri 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRJrxEOSob
with a huge smile on his face. "And I know how much you value sapphire 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWu33PcFsQ
stones because it's your birth stone."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdR83zFMyi62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq3pZyCLwg

"Aww! Thank you so much,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ708RrFvfxU

he was going to brighten up my day today.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8CCpA2QFI62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9DvzD4bpB

"So pretty, let me see," said Christine, as she came and took the crown from my hand. "Wow!"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EUecrZA9S62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxBBo2gTiO

"I want to wear it," 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIaEDzzoba

Christine put the crown on Zoey's head.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ45Rc9qSWY62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxPr8duo6M

"Don't I look like a 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUvnz8X8x9

studio mirrors that lined up the walls of the room.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV7MywnBn262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx18msgzXFG

"You look like that evil witch in those fairy tale fantasy movies," said Mike.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpHeEUFDvO62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSAegandjU

"Haha, very funny," Zoey said as she turned to look at Mike.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuTCl6LMYH62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC39fq6MFh

"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9DSWcojNM62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndivzLM9Is

"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7b4mQY1tt62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQskrHBB5OU

"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0YKDkQo6P62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aw3kMtqy8

"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RYKKVX9eK62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWl0rVMe5v

"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAS7FeXDgr62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVX1mFCXKq

"May her royal majesty 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKBoNWagmJ
get her crown back?" Taeyang asked as he came behind Christine and took 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4FL57GSlL
the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77s6R5qIux62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Gl320F0L

"Oh, hail the queen!" Taeyang chanted and I broke into a laugh, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡxApwl9riiG62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RvIfjEqA1

"Stop it, will you? You're making me blush," I said, trying to cover my laugh with my hand.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ehVlWaiAq62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ6QKcYr4k

"You look just like a real queen, Sam," said TOP.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIycOqhf8L62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsmUNpXO5X

"Thanks." I was still blushing like crazy.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGmbdIlE0D62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcP5V5pzvZ

"Let me take a photo," said Daesung, pulling out his phone.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4RC0dzava62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGZIxJVvbZ

"Ya. The whole world should see the queen of k-pop," said Zoey.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfS9sHzJWI62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpsbjgBg4H

"Are you really calling me that?" I asked.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJoRVBzggA62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeET3KO89oE

"We did win last night, didn't we?" Zoey asked. "Of course I'm calling you that."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCELfEYOPu62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90l8JSSEn3

I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't really taking it that seriously. It was nothing but a game."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrKQAcyaVu62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEds6oMm03r

"A game we won. Cheer up. We are all kings and queens with you."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡTreii9TRpa62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh6BlRqu1O

I looked on at Zoey trying to smile as best as I could, but somehow I couldn't.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjM651L3QA62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aPuiynacK

She couldn't tell the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQXHXmtjnx
look on my face because she didn't even ask. Daesung went ahead and took62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5PSGaJ6FK
pictures of me, then we huddled together as a group to take a group 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOUKjdiGnv

"Taking photos with the queen," said Daniel.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uQQAVSmZI62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXPEH8R0Pf

"The queen?" G-Dragon looked confused until he saw the crown on top of my head. "Oh..."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxxYPdBjsp62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgSSGcbs0O

"It's pretty, isn't it?" Zoey asked. "You should also get me one."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb6B85LgYN62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlcQwtMRtO

Taeyang. "The choreographer is going to be here any moment now. So I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GeRm6kcQO

We all stood on one side62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJSU4yxnMs
of the room while Mike took off his jacket and got his phone to search 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ugvnq5BM
for the track. He gave Daniel to hold the phone and when he positioned 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDZOuZP1lE
himself in the middle of the room and turned to look at us.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV4tdFvB1N62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9ob4sJBPw

"So, I was thinking, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jxyA3V19x
since G-Dragon and Zoey start the first verse, they should open up the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGbOuFNkH9

Christine came forward 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pSfdnV1HD

and Mike told Daniel to press the play button on cue.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJnlFYivQ162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdTzdv9g2K

With Christine and Mike 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7alnoIipq
each facing opposite directions with their backs touching, the music 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA7A4aqV4c
started to play. Still not looking at each other, the two started the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEqFdDbnUe
dance with each of them taking a step forward, breaking the contact 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nliIIGr15

themselves back and they again their backs touched.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqWFTakoMm62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasTA87eju8

what we were doing and bowed as he came further in the room.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LV0ZwDqGi62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL244Rovu2

stepped forward and the music playing on Mikes phone, they did the dance62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIgRAqsK6i

thought he was going to say something bad, but he didn't.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaCdTr7vgi62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd6Tff1D4F

"I like it," said the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W3j5h6EZD
choreographer. "So far, the starting part is brilliant. I wouldn't have 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYZ7500eCS
thought of anything better. Now let's see if Zoey and G-Dragon could 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf6M8l2aY6

to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39E624edA0
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ8wSmL1Ce
were perfect.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25nUGWBDFZ62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJnNYiWxgg

"Excellent," said the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jpLpsPEGq
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE49MB19n2L
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPvYDtgA1w

We did as the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3dM1Qgiqi
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgqFwkVe4Q
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdp7wKcRgE
the hang of it.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzl7QF1m1R62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexHrkJiB1I

A few minutes later, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQZkvvErKI
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoWGvsrHkH
that we can take a break. Most of us with our backs on the floor and 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyf30AMibN
staring at the ceiling. Some, were seated.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3XXYDUAgz62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14D0p9v4Bg

"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqsJdzMqNl62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSEJz9c0Qw

I laughed, also staring 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc5Yf5y1oJ
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpOspdCVhd
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkUgrKWt7Y62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb46PNFYZFP

where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwUk2Jadx0
and removed my phone.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ciVtKFpdN62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4amkQjWLXt

I sent a message to the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGEkTieZCk
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUROeTyp65
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbgNv67rS5
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡoytqQ8rLH262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSLzcFRrFt

"Good. We should meet."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPdAp6qzNH62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAnDoCwX1C

Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOTQJmApMO62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sNjfjpmKi

"I can't see you today. I'm kind of busy."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡcamGBcO2Yw62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFadfmT6Nz

"But this is a very important issue, Sam."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WlhwKoXkb62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA9XdyzJvB

Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡES0xJJUk9H62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx4aQjtgGe

I texted, "what happens if I don't meet with you today?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mSu2tHRvG62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8UIm95ggT

"You're one smart 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQtYNGwnq1
girl. I don't have to explain because you know what will happen when the62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMz3XqnqG3

consequences."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡnACIR8tg6O62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEPrCD790y

I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKGsipccJl62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0lJ3iaqJQ

"Fine. I'll tell you when to meet when I'm done."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSHMmKf4CL62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo6HY4gH85

"That's my girl."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0lmIdvctB62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6JxxmaFvb

I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VlHoD7AQQ62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFbypfRzGA

As I tucked my phone 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaZxRYB7GK
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnQWVni52N
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgtsOTIGto
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUzgrqe3yU
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKIDx5oNa062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLiDId11j4

I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU0UhJ7MWA62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAki39cLPF

When they both turned to62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6zJn19B4I
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRuPvd2xem
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3WVm05yLU
couldn't help but feel that they were.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWwJEUnLue62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW1NFoOP0S

I laid back down 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwK2mggoNu
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpxHlTHqrt
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFpls5KgUK
two of us had in our room this morning?copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqZk4wqskA62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9shTuD9K2X

Yikes! If she did, then I62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNmNuHHc88
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtO6Pgbzx5
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGyAA2eKNg
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH234QyMxLU
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSutMMdTy962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsnuycLKLj

Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW61GKV4vq62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5ZoGArUkf

"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7QisUOSn962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2ie68NSFy

"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ1YjOKxIi62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl1bPAoAla

"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdfNeWy90362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbfTAWt2QO

Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzibqADlpwI62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2QzgWH4Pm

"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0yAYSpIp862Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDHEOxec8z

"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16lhUzdsJd62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2LCVmypop

"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjwHJ7l4xS62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFr4eI0WMQ

"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6SlHRe6zE62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqu05iykvG

"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBLATF967T62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSIFuE133q

"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEcQlVYH0w62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh5UlkCmhp

"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡANCs9jjnqT62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAPHBV09fw

"No. It sounds great."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FvNfospuA62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9oyOTcQWg

"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPevFArEis62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpxmjTHWgY

"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.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSgMkq6EOx62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltzbaa6bjl

"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQc3Dsr5SW62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9v5IkYUaV

"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbLVHrv85N62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarkIOECwAS

"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfFR20h9E562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWl48wefHy

"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcVTfymHEf62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpI6uqqtlB

"True," said Taeyang.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlrog8PLhV62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw3KeRoRoZ

"Okay," I said, feeling a62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTW4X4Bbjj
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUIs0dTrGe
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSbeJdf1nU62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26K5QZXfQl

"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6461YmAl4f62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzebEcffnz

After the three had 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7thAuutVb
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYhs38s1ni
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHA25QbVCs62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDSBOxN4Mb

While we waited, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlj7CUC6nx
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5vzxzHZA5
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXJazxImBu
expression on his face.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbl1q5fF6D62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfQSmtMYA9

"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcHGeG3P2762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSe2rMC9Mc

He sounded serious and I62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf49YfIwX58
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEoiwKMjJm
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DOFFUwRQ862Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgfIjHuVQg

"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGjFIKKXpR62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76lh5A0Cy6

I got up from the floor 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0K8jhT5BD
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4UHMdoh8f
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgmTyrty31
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ4iGjZJ8162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO2qXlIQrj

I found G-Dragon three 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUnoB9C0rK
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY1CRz4l88
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNWqeTLWKd
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff7CDJMfKd
close.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdEGTkBpbr62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00c2D4CIqK

"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv8RbQBWO162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOyNeMH0Js

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.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp1RIHaHrj62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYHlBl5oBP

"It's about Zoey," he said.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡJixnZqIAQU62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBQOEuTgcj

I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oqafB1RxP62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ127APlnxl6

"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?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlfUcYBnF262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz4GVG104C

"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡHplfMkFvVw62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGeHuSbn9n

"Really? That's all you can say?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXUP7ar91Y62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbqPLga9Nw

"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUkeOwcqUS62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM6kt10u14

"But you almost had."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡsChOR49xA462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SKlzfeLDo

"Yet I couldn't."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z1YP98gia62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lzzalPluD

"Zoey is right. You've 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKqY4TZ5o1
been acting really weird today. Weird enough to tell her the truth when 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavTVRta6eO
you know I was supposed to do it."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh4zwT6Jj062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun94XjpNEU

"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMDTBuYK2y62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwERuJLuO9

"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5xQ3n0cDi62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZFpUxT5E7

I paused before I could say, "what?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSArr6kxPE62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9v2dtlCg0

"You heard me loud and 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHwbz1UkvJ
clear, Sam. As though kissing Daesung wasn't enough, you're now trying 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0JaqDHjIm
to take matters into your own hands."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrrcl2GjNJ62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBvXEIq0lG

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.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCOptSMt5q62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Sox3XyYh4

"Wait, that's not true," I said.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrimTKteij62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM5rWv4EON

"Which one? You kissing Daesung or taking matters into your hands?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRLk36nKpa62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gpvd3eD4z

I now realised that I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4sICvGbuY
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcKkDGQIlF
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlVUR8Y5L2
assumption right. But there was no point in hiding now. The truth was 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF577OJDuV7
bound to come up sooner rather than later.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡthNiGgbtJg62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbjdwXTmFe

"Aren't you going to answer? Which one of the two?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwHcTAXnOf62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aAW5s43xQ

I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH6s2aypUY62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dWclKWYfR

"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡAngnGWDRqn62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I2qVznOV3

"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jTPwMqt9f62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XdETj6YmE

G-Dragon took a step 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsRKEdvBcK
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsisvJn46c0
you kiss my best friend who is like a brother to me!"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQWPjYZSoU62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagXoURH0P4

"Then what did happen?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWOgLk3bNd62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfe7KXvP4H

"All of this is nothing 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeYOCSFkSv
but a misunderstanding. I never went back on my word. Things just 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowaU2z5MtR
happened that I myself couldn't control."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw4nmnmmfL62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH86VfRSLHX

"Don't lie to me, Sam."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Jyd5wh4m62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsybrmOj28b

"You know what, I'm 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxIIrLhxxL
trying my best here to try and tell you the truth but you're acting like62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeTva9n3U5
a deaf person blocking my words out. I knew from the very beginning 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nDcO0172a
that I could never be with you nor with Daesung and I have accepted it. I62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAH2j9NAGk
talked about that with him yesterday. That's why he kissed me."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡMriAH4UKgI62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5zfBJpZNj

G-Dragon shook his head. "So you're saying that he kissed you and not that you kissed him?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHf24CprYF62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NHI0wI1DL

"Yes. But I know you 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXmTZF2NgJ
won't believe me. Unlike you, at least Daesung realised and accepted it 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8COHSqrhqf
for himself that he and I could never be together."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfMVO01lh562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu2id3OV4s

I looked at G-Dragon and I knew I hit the spot. I just hope that what I said would make him understand.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3w0Ee4yZk62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgq49qJcd0

"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX1wZ68py762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlDK3vbvMB

I turned around to head 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo5NGjQvfV
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWbp0lPKx3
angry. I was frustrated and my problems were far from over.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KmQGbQHw862Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtpodsToYG

When I came back in the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI45wLomhD
studio, all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I could tell on 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifAuEBPuln
their faces that they had heard the entire conversation.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdcjdQxipw62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6QWu4poso

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHtEdtKmSi62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s78yDUX0b

I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW3QNJ1Ery62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAirbM6MCA8

I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeLZxZQ5ig62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8fQ5KUv8n

"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUX5zbykxq62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdQ0mpDgmE

I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1nGSbqUPS62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXWT8JZVmA

I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC6eCEesJw62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mIjcN37ic

I heard the door open 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcpmcLLQ27
behind me and I knew G-Dragon had come into the room. At the corner of 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu5rndam9w
my eye, I could see Zoey turn towards the door.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkrGp0RYlp62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdTEw5sAdL

"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."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYrMFjX6eN62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJXb5aXR0Z

"It's nothing," I heard G-Dragon say.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHp4V2Iavr62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvt3WQh7dr

"It's nothing? Looking at both of your faces, something did happen," said TOP.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeM8Uc9Mau62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9ExOaDhKQ

"Look guys," I said as 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xz0IFbGwb
quickly stood up from the floor and turned to face them. "Tell me if I'm62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvH9zE0RLd
wrong, but you guys heard the entire conversation, right?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡbysCl8Viea62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqnWXc7BtS

No one said anything and they had guilty looks on their faces. That settled it.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cRvhMyZX362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswp2x8HIPd

"I'm sorry you had to hear all that," I said as I scratched my head. "We shouldn't have been so loud."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEheMcqVYA62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvIBEifF91

"Why didn't you two tell us all this before?" Seungri asked.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡq99TMu1INf62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrsgoqsv1W

I didn't say anything 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotsOv0WcIM
and neither did G-Dragon. We looked at each other and then at the others62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCh9eVruBA
who were waiting for either of us to say something.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTsJpJwXJt62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu2YKqodVp

Before anyone could 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakSC8oD5Bl
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Y8bc4CHF
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddafbUGz8B
we went back to practising.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a7jpUvPPu62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiWSV4gy9S

I don't know how I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0TS955dIM
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV03bbYRL7
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLppDluUTD
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNEGGOLL2t
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVpyZAKYsw
head in the real world and not mess things up.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgEz9q3a8Q62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WhvlUQPOK

It was lunch time and 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBy8heW2ZY
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxUU6UvQSX
was so tired, I wondered if I would be able to meet up with the unknown 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYTEtfyk5n
stranger.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0KSK9Cg6l62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yZDHgRDiR

Now that we were on a 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOpwIvqemi
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIh6nKmW5r
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka0jNHzElR
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXFUtoqUDM
too awkward for me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7wSqVMWKC62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPvuVSehOk

Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaS5J2vNcD62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8uKrhr0WN

I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDEowox8FE62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrKymdWM7z

"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqL0icV49G62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlp4PlW4DK

Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡHARzFABaoO62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomTS6k9yl5

"Well, you guys can talk if you want," said Seungri, "but I'm hungry."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2rsqYRY6x62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldx5LUjIHr

"Ya, me too," said Daniel.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAXoAgBvkK62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigMHkC2hGF

"We can order a pizza," said Christine.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1k3BZEda262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ142VW8f6HB

"Good idea," said Taeyang.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y5trwrjvy62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2OK8AEsim

As though they couldn't 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBCHiXjkeZ
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg41b1aq7R
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kUR43rJwK
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was all my fault.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡR78PwI58ep62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rlI8EFrYT

A few seconds later, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY9v0kwbLE
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NYXF316Ny
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSZdB7RgzQ
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0OkwOF20q
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrrdu2d9gn62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3eG1TJ20w

As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡchmhLNOc7j62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSpA51IXih

"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYrSNXBT5Q62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsiBMPqrRq

"A lot has happened 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzt7fv1Zx1

"Everyone now know the truth about G-Dragon and I. They heard us arguing."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡx34YWSWyL262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3UTZETW6Q

I could hear Lee gasp and I pictured her ready to drop and faint. "For real? Oh, gosh, this is bad."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡo41FOdrCDm62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPBTSXoJLk

"That's not the worst 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ9LH5kV3R
part," I said as I found myself at the end of the hall going down a 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2UBVUfPQl

"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡRON0uJILKB62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu5LNMoNo0

I cut the call and this 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvu5gSYmUV
time, I ran down the stairs with a new found energy. I was tired from 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPnAUcRgMo
all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN4pgz1boS62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFySKkGwJuV

I reached the bottom of 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVqe0H6Y30
the steps. I had reached the ground floor. There was a passage behind 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWQhwLuo1g
the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGPFr9lYSP
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCLjQL1XK4
voices that I could recognise.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3suHmLuGgC62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF1OXxzrWA

I went over to look, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIhxoJHJHA
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBdkU36V0R
Toxins and Big Bang in the lobby heading out. Looked like they were 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yx1MuzlWv
going out for lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEeecCXUmF
turn around and head for the back door, I ended up hearing their 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWgIhbLo7M
conversation.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7rX8WHRHs62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8KMaxhKTd

"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTfxjw6kHv62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPSu4472Yt

"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKXHsktX0J62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtpYcHaX5i

"I'm just surprised that62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlru7B2plV

he wasn't upset like I thought he would.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaR180XQRE62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz26yeNJcT

"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡilyySR4ZcM62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wetqm5tLr

"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqxs80MBXM62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo29T8YtmQ

"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxXdy6dvW562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13p3aYhXHt

"I think so too," said 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJp5dQrijd
Daniel. "But just in case, we would order her and the others a takeout. 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIBMRvUQYh
Sometimes Sam would starve herself without even realising it."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡafqIOjzTiM62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZk62u5ksM

The next thing I knew, their voices became distant. I peeked again and I saw that they had already walked out of the lobby.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNcdfle1Wb62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjwdoJ4Q2o

I was expecting them to 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L7ExY9sP7
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw74DayIu0
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvij2wIMBzO
Who knows?copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiILvhRJMO62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCA6h85rBV

Throwing that thought 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzksGp5QXOl
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkEhna09Lz
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLcyStHXVi
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW4gFSzeLS62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuDlb2r2Zf

There were still more 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXA1fXcf6Y
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5J1ECulAp
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtUhO5jf7i
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvg5xv2JK9
front and I knew the others were leaving until I heard the noise fade 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzerAT45eE
away.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rFeFVzTWw62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS7q9WvscD

In what seemed like 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH91NGxQqh
forever, Lee appeared around the corner of the building with her 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ReAs8Eym
handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KONvk5n4R62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4fquomZRz

"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTOg9t9JIU62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDgMF4tcUU

"Don't act all grumpy on me," said Lee. "So as to let you know, finding what you wanted wasn't all that easy."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKmhY1cyV962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU3m9DOhin

"Okay, thanks," I said as Lee gave me her bag and I gave her my crown and purse to hold. "Hold this."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40TTOpdTNh62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBrT2VipV9

"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZbzgk3p4L62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzNfmsjPFe

"Seungri," I answered as I rummaged through the bag to get the items out.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGwGYuHb2D62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK98NvhrkzK

"This is so pretty. These diamonds look so real."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7De0rEekr62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdl86o4oN0

"They are," I said as I put the blue baseball cap on.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5rHFH2I6762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMzl1VNlLs

"So sweet of him to do this," said Lee. She looked at me. "Are they all still inside?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqN06MvOYy62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvCHi8ZJsy

"They have gone out for 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaLPjReng1

"Ya. And they are about 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSHzPRoIOz
to get a whole lot worse. Wish me luck." I put on the sunglasses and the62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmejvhKXsb9
light scarf around my neck. Lee gave me back my purse.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOi6PpSkdQ62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bOUXk0A3v

"Okay. Tell me how everything goes," said Lee. "Want me to escort you out of the gate?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE9xJHdfT762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOnbod2NVR

"Ya, that will be a good62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi6FNnqLQC
idea," I said. "Leaving me alone would be dangerous and who knows what 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXOJRL3Sl7
the guards might think when they see me."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xy1DGDpRX62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPWL0kZ37V

Lee and I started to 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUud0a1oBMf
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHc2r4NvW9
parking lot. As we were heading towards the gate, Lee started some 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkYy6ZT531
random conversation and I played along making sure not to look 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XveXGfmh2
suspicious in front of the guards who didn't seem to be paying much 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvKNxcRlHO
attention. I made sure that they didn't notice my face.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaLBgA08Ve62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj8tSftLlw

When I finally managed 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmtjArZQNh
to get out of the gate, Lee wished me luck. I nodded my head and walked 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToMEckQ4Fx
away from the YG gate and down the street.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNS9lCQzRK62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaR1DJh6vC

I had to admit, I was so62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjY7CzyCqm
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkLGZY0P2G
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVQeXtYeAt
in the streets by myself. Going around alone was too dangerous for me 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReMQlpqT1Q
and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXifZVWCkO62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUb1BaZB01

After walking a few 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnX8BUCz9c
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30qQQLfgFg
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VbjWMtWot
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGRVOsQq2Z
the road with a few people and got to the other side of the street.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDYleeWfnR62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5Z4WQQb6v

As I walked, passing a shoe shop, I took my phone out from my purse and called the unknown man.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnFmw1YnAP62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡserDxnq1jO

"Ah, you finally called," said the stranger who had answered after the first ring. "I've been waiting."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hNqxMltoG62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhvmdkO3KR

"Ya, I figured," I said,62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oW2sSSi4Z
looking around hoping that no one noticed me but the cap hid my face 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwdfaLDBMX
pretty well. "I've no idea where to meet you and I'm not so familiar 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhfVDsfrv0
with the place."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYkgjyvgNS62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxofAR8sad

"Not to worry, dear. I already see you. Nice disguise by the way. I can hardly tell it is you under that baseball cap."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hgNDMPBaq62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYKFeUqSvc

I froze as I soon looked62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVu4R7x6z2
left and right and across the street hoping to see him. But I couldn't 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SAv8amhDx
spot out any French native among the midst of Koreans. Feeling a little 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5veLK9bCF
out of place, I figured I might just be the odd one around here too.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡriHeJf15Ip62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorBSws03zz

I heard him laugh 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GrHbASyRv
through the phone and I could tell he was making fun of me. "Not to 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mBBBmlKyX
worry, Sam. Be careful or you might just blow your cover."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0o6gHELYs62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWp1PWtP03

"I'm right here."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqaSFT7GYP62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAFMbg8x1G

short when down the road, a fancy black shiny Bugatti parked at the edge62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDJ1pVhysj
of the concrete slab right in front of me. I looked on with my mouth 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYMSTflLdF
agape. I always admired fancy cars but this was one hell of a ride.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwgIra58U462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCenAYXnDZP

A smartly dressed 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlsxmSsErV

With his white gloved hand, he opened the door to the passengers seat.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04vbWa43Q362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbrXMqV94V

"You may go in, mademoiselle," said the driver in deep French accent, as he bowed.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWNKqEQCaJ62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRgroCjRgK

A few heads turned my 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvgDt23oc7

smartly dressed chauffeur waiting for me to go in. Strange, I suppose 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2I8KH8fF4
and a little suspicious too.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rcw28G7cx62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRzzu3CxrP

I managed to awake from 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM0DmD1Azg
my slumber and got in the car before people fully start to look at me 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gjMo3uxi9
and figure out who I was. As I got in, a nice car smell wafted in the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC1bcveO3G
air and into my nostrils. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHsElPhmpR
driver's seat.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6tYQTCHwM62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt7Xgw0L4j

"Samantha Glasson, nice to finally meet you at last," came a deep voice.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiVGkMoyJe62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFVWQ8r5Xv

With my eyes, I looked 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBdegy3yVt
at the person sitting right beside me in the passenger's seat. For a 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzXwwe3wZ7
moment, I was scared. But when I looked at the man fully, my face fell.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK6Rg80Xgd62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUNLQEUiJR

He had gorgeous blue 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG3ddzrh6q
eyes like the colour of the sea and brown short curly hair. His dashing 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWlcIbQCtz
lips were lifted up into a smile and under that navy blue suit of his, I62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth5XhOGQBX
could tell he was one who had one heck of a body.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiGJY1wnzf62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkREo5RXx93

I hadn't said a word and62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx0jJIuAkY
the car started to drive down the road when the young man offered his 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOffLx3rnF

wrist. Who was this guy?copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeZI6gR7e762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87D8qmQVXb

"Aren't we going to shake hands?" he asked.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIxDGWNyYF62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7ZamKHpc5

I opened my mouth but 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CNBGUeDZn
then closed it again knowing that it was pointless to argue. I took his 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8vlgWI7RF

"Yes, a pleasure to meet62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgWqyTzBx7

and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZvaDc7rK562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmrjJHa2G8

"I'm sorry we had to 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckp9KY3jAB

I looked at him and 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4aKdUIhei
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFKLSVs7qs
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQraXTcN3oE

something.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWKAzJtKhQ62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qFsAfNxE5

"Of course. I figured you would want that. Given that no one knows where you are anyway."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkxQQSG8lr62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmg8FnJGw9

I raised an eyebrow at 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjsXviPc8g

you have been able to find me on the street."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFhmbKdDid62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cDkljH5Zd

He gave me that dashing 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAxHx20nf8
smile of his. "Of course. I just had to. I knew sooner or later that we 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcGckj4KQp

"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s7HQHaWSI62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cJl8fQDTL

It was a huge apartment 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquvyWFFveL
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eMWWhIimc
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWA4CFc9WB62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwo1RxhIbb

After the car parked, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBFZaCFQ7U
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe9nb5FTo2
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GyuIq208d

came out of the car.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkMzoxayzL62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqQkO2quVO

Derrick lead the way, 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1v5wevyeE
still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqhAiTzMbp
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonQfIEh88c
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFd1n3JxZC62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFesKKGgiU

Derrick pressed the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4lcFD5fqh
elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOEu3m9lvi
When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsXMUHxAYQ
button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnyQrbvEks62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSUR4AvaPV

"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMN2lbAvJ962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstK6YOt89Y

"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDOtFbwpJw62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHqoul61W4

"Well, ya, I do! You're 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdcDBGYHHU

The elevator doors flew 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC8laTJlZl
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyaukDhM4M
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq2F82JxNt

into heaven.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdEK49z6bO62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW18rlLJ8Q

I stepped out of the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5hxLqAuXn
elevator and beautiful paintings lined up the walls. I noticed that the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnU4WMkpoX
doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlTTtlef4n
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ztm6eMHIK

"This place looks nice," I said as I walked down the hall.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmRK0a4Sgh62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mvWfYhuel

"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRubBzkbGw62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkUlG1ztIi

I looked down the hall 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOYmNIrzNW
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQifMye33s
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWMkhtlRX4
front of me stood a smartly dressed butler. It's like he knew I was 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bS8yGRZgF
coming.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyh5bs2pqE62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0vefiNulQ

"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa0oV0zZTP62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLMK54dqWb

For a moment, I hesitated. Until I felt Derrick behind me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpHLAjlVu162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6noeV45Vl

"Ladies first," said Derrick.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuAJzMcCbC62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQlg5ByS5U

I gulped and took a step into his apartment.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡhINh7IiHIb62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3FwNKA0bx

"This place is very 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHDA5RvaXr

wall.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZBeLcx68262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zOrrOOUm4

I looked to the other 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP24YxsSDS
side and there was a fancy looking table with a beautuful chandelier 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXguLwGEEpI
above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyiy0JmODJ
beautiful flower vases with orchids.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BwIl6uxJF62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6zVaxtDp6

"I see you like 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnn09THNy6

area and looked at the orchids. They were fresh and lovely.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0oXhwFAdn62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmivhs3L6t

"I know you like roses," said Derrick as he stared at me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKnoZ8BxeJ62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCRfC09jNH

"Almost everything that celebrities like and don't like are always found on the internet." I rolled my eyes at him.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzml55GczdV62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkZ58PKG3e

"True, but I can tell what a woman likes and doesn't."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoVElda1Nn62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZAbvSEzDK

I gave him a smile that showed how impressed I was.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA8MY8UzF962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vmTLYTViH

"Lunch is ready, sir," said the butler. "Should I serve the food?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡiewEkBkway62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI1CNasyRv

"Yes, please," sad Derrick.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqWn4iBejp62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKvnV0fzzT

The butler bowed and 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCpGvbEp6X
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IF8ltiN29
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOTNcPOroo
ground.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIZKvXTqwy62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI0KovW3U2

"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPN5t8GOFR62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01LG969sTb

"We are," said Derrick who came to join me by the window. "This place is lovely, isn't it?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7hjvlB6zU62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb0vZclNEJ

"Ya, it surly is." I knew he meant Seoul.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbDvW8sQzZ62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZsbKRHGUC

"Food is ready, Master Derrick," came the butler behind us.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8OceilU7062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVEuBOALgu

"Shall we?" Derrick gestured his hand towards the dining table and I walked up to it with him following behind me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt73NCooJY62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSFYnEaJsP

As we got to the dining 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDPVPzMxgH
table, Derrick pushed back a chair for me and I took my seat, removing 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZCOteC40S

The butler had served 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwAnk4CX8C
our plates on the table and just by looking at the cutlery and napkins 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHzAVvIOCA
laid and folded neatly, I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxVaibZCem
fancy fairytale. The table was set to perfection and the wine glasses 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYTOmeSYb1
next to the plates were spotless.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmN1z1kUWr62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1IaBDGksi

Dishes of food were 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDQPN80NLf
lined in the middle of the table and my mouth couldn't help but water. 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zd2NAgFys
If I wasn't in such an elegant apartment, I would have just dug in and 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9tpk431ow

sure not to eat too much and take my time.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pEkmorsBp62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBXeeT6r6D

"First of all, I need to know why you sent it to me."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡunt6UIu9C462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nI3CgVofT

"Because as much as you don't want to get involved, it concerns you more than you can ever imagine."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVNgTQpgl062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVAQWT84Tz

I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgJ3WmFYXs62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMd7a3rjYt

"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrQKxKs2U462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Rm8tD3RS

a some place that looked like a garden or a park and in front of her 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf62nh6OB4
stood a man I couldn't recognise. His face was hidden because his back 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie99AhDdlv
faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iLUQSEh8u
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXJIZ606VB
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p0UFUL5b762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdPknqB1EX

"I know this isn't 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKfiF5bjnj

and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rnPujbah962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyMaS9Bubf

"That's my brother," Derrick answered.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxAth8eJa862Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH0G0FMbZa

Now that was a surprise. Derrick had a brother?copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhxPcdJXiV62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN9LkR1YAo

"Wait? Brother?" I raised an eyebrow.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4omrdRLp2262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVWj5PtHjE

"Sadly, yes," said Derrick clearing his throat.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFA98RhnBs62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKmXrmDexC

I looked at the photo 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2pxOKpQI0
again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffWbz212Jk

I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYXhqa9bAb62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U046z67CQ

"You never told me you had a brother," I said, looking at Derrick.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8QOiZGzmh62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjwxn95NqQ

"We don't really get along," said Derrick.copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SIMUYJaXD62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj0MBIBEQg

"We have been different from each other since we were kids. You can't even tell that he and I are brothers."copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrAmfSmVsJ62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SWxqkHv77

"So, what's do you think he wants with Zoey?"copyright protection58ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvBVivT1GR62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSrmE35fIW
