Have you ever been awake48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgV4DZDeZx
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN1YIv4GAN
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2zS1cs5K9

That's how I felt right at this moment.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQRTVVDQV948Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp99r7RXcyx

I tossed in my bed, 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hAzaCLCHw
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9FbxUeTMv
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbFpDNgAZP
could come up so that I could meet my end already.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWalqIRDV248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z6IzhklT1

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 protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRG4h5WiHB48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFbxQIr5Cd

I fell back on my bed, 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSpgh23yD2
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL2vtCMNXF
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPl1nbKOhm
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sfs8xvb68
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevTh0mUMaS

mind even to dream.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡTisKbnGPeB48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W8nohVTt2

I turned to my other 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IxVZxhUkr
side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms. 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNrtBsyBes
How I wish I could fall asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmo1JMiFGL
slightly in her sleep. I stared up at the dark ceiling trying to 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIteDtMVn7

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 protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jEPnWVkeC48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YfydS20Op

I knew I now had to face48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bz10dxiqF
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4EF7EhXXz
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and I. And even 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2yJALCDLq

bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7VoS7MyX048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HlMnsrFqp

I knew her persistance 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUrMD2yfFk
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIdhl8TcBN

her if I had to tell her the truth.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVUI4aIWhl48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMBOyfQ7vw

I know sometimes we 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbfEsAMmMn

hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VPBKoQAwl
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XxmCZXplK
had now reached that point.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrEoh2kcmz48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvZT82wEm6

I sighed again as I 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm2yYMXPnt
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡburIR3IOs3

"I know you feel guilty 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OQ2n26f6e

"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdFcorH87d48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o09bhMlIz

I wanted to slap my 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ku67fzx7i
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eG4nRlad4
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9FmAUWFDa

I paused. That was odd. 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHuc1c6cgb
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoZ7b9gSg4

"You're weird, Sam," 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF9A3QmFFl

harder than I thought.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCRTC4oCW448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8w4KUpYux

Whatever my conscious 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe29CyirTU7
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tdIBz52yx
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that what I was tongue tied48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUtFtHKuUk
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41vd3CFZ0p48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49neLWwcPq

If that was the case, 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRUxzv6ExF

I answered the call. "Hello?"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXBeB2fXDr48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkLKp9wHJG

"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EF4FNCmTa48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkERPnBMlJ

still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OLcWrbrpz
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytAuMLUTHK
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l0OOi81g0

further onto the edge, I would burst.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJOzMY5DMA48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL1XfOJaHr

My heart skipped a beat.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMySBgunohA
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWElYCBMlMu
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGjzCWaPIN

As soon as I stepped out48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YDqWg2ICO

felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡdus23e09SM48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgHjtNWahY

Before I could turn 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Socw24pDW
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSW0h76zuK

"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6VHFMKsKw48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa3znzBrZe

I took the crown from 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE7lFosMYW
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjVvKfX2u7
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFiheFRQ7R
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wwcRbAkXy
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXxabxV7Vv48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtScZCrWFW

"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyz0ojb6sR48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5B0CsEyTE

"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9Haus7ixO48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4cepdhIHU

"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q43aEJvvi48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUcUjJWaOn

"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHRkIgDTn648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjsOk4hZDb

"May her royal majesty 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcfQqF3InL

the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡLifttKVB2t48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoHGd2Lu2p

where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYW2cOwzRg
and removed my phone.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDbs0FzMoM48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9LRiaqIFJ

I sent a message to the 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtTu9nTJWs
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAqKCDz9cq
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpAbhTlHB0
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVkxB4xUty48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAuk4DIXnE

"Good. We should meet."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxuyUT4TCd48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbfQWStw1F

As I tucked my phone 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS3OwL2aBG
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4ScUTskUy
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuBrkSMif4
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLXRAuCCEe
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7ikDkhylR48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwibJc5bwZ

I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0yZ9r3btV48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJotlPOdC6t

When they both turned to48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUfELP8orM
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKjUW271eE
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X3ujSjwvp
couldn't help but feel that they were.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvDZp11ac448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bkfP55Yux

I laid back down 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7h41d69fk
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgiQLBJ48e
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9qOpgUueo

had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmILb725Bh
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDg0Wkyuvf
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0KjO77fdZ
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHEbGODKZ648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNymvkxDmCe

Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzBiy0jAbw48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7SU7PfFjK

"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡERFPO8E6U248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzKGSzN0O0

"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxJoJqcmac48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCzl8TTLgv

Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy7DoWM33H48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlAz1t8OtX

"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NePbXgnkq48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtApPIiIuy

"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMhkRpEWRz48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvtQnhA5l0

"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ8luwhhzk48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6alHJmaRbD

"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF7cujaKGu48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP17pqW7JEC

"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡbghsA8Sf4K48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR7LIv3iBo

"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiAXD5tUm348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHzEpi1zac

"No. It sounds great."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaCsCdBvtF48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GMgrvLuNm

"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiXQfAVJvh48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT74sLtLM3V

"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 protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKBw88JOPH48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgUdBjSRQg

"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAAV6I4QwU48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvgRJRaBJ0

"True," said Taeyang.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gbRYiVikJ48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GUZ9aJ6bf

"Okay," I said, feeling a48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67LnYvf96Y

"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQEuh9UcHp48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKBr8AWnJ3

After the three had 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU3Q5SpwW7

G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF5FjkbvR7
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRJWsMFEML
expression on his face.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5zCM94dNm48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQeoYxjYhJ

"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mcORuYMGF48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8p1OJmZed

my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOqS82xKAu48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd97DbVmxVB

"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSzgumpyAd48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2bQSHovTA

I got up from the floor 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPma0wpJ0D
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdNQRZMdwH
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiKZ8CHx8A
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJA8ysCwei48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72qudr0Da1

I found G-Dragon three 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTf5J64wjA
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8SX81APyI
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGLQaZibDs
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUls05y4BS
close.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq7CifEQZe48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP0yN8zoY8

"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF6UVBhlaR48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oOSfZSxbv

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 protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Bad9CPGQ48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oqmQqrov3

"It's about Zoey," he said.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ShfuAu8qu48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaTgIGpi4n

I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLauG65Xrg48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbMf41eWzq

"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 protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1lrbyBOoh48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszOSVEjn2O

I paused before I could say, "what?"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fpjKtbWsh48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFClZOcBzeG

"You heard me loud and 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ0PuUN7Fv

was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ9Cbw7a0h
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVqzUVEMYe

"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIUHMao6D448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FmD6D6tym

G-Dragon took a step 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIIWSKd38Y
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsGDHux4Vc

"Yes. But I know you 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZuT8htQDc

I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAbJuo2YJ748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rsVsN0qS4

I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEUNdn6gjI48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm2PewQr3V

I heard the door open 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBfichoC9v

break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpanEq97cF

Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8No23SmDp6
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUtJAdaG8H

again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWcFVr9TXa

break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJsGe1dYXj
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH468YdQf5
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2sa1uIsF9
too awkward for me.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u8tCjqMvY48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1TjI7kW6h

when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0jU2IFc2A

all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N3o7oyBn448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrP3oXpGIs

I reached the bottom of 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2sg9Z7ZCh

the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NBQQ0OgGx

I went over to look, 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfygRp7Rdox
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7VkjA3umM
Toxins and Big Bang in the lobby heading out. Looked like they were 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqMM0wavBI
going out for lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQgfHGmyTL

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 protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8PhW9mOrD48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQPUz7HUN7

I was expecting them to 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBr3XTnaMU

Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIkDARTJl048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsyKBpvZcD

There were still more 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4hWRfL9FO
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkdwRpecjl

"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQzTt9LnS648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z6sN9Wfjd

"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 protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIKxoFDdXy48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf4mhLnfFM

"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAldtPmfdf48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfQ5HDfESz

"Ya, that will be a good48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O5G7m1h6g

Lee and I started to 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYkiFsEHKK

When I finally managed 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FbfSy2yzw

away from the YG gate and down the street.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ71OOHd2248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMEajpAznn

I had to admit, I was so48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv3RLWqNuZ

fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS8e3rDD11

and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa91cKXo0J48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrYjKA8lL7

After walking a few 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlZPA2hdGi
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI0MNz5Oyc
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxEhRoSZJD
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qY6gy9xMP

"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F8lM1LEXD48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn9DT1K1XJ

It was a huge apartment 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0eOMBofue
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WjxqzMlDf
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK54bb1BZE48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iCbWwcHya

After the car parked, 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8bEXYfmdJ
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhFVO5uBr8

Derrick pressed the 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWdJwKqLsw
elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yKRjNfzKF
When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3faaqOKzQ

The elevator doors flew 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Z07TmBhw
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHfvxiTnCu
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVpxAx7OdK

I stepped out of the 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTIFridy6q

doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA4ksWcCHs

I looked down the hall 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5HCwwKQtg
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87L1QBlwDi
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Fe1bdG81

above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttgRuXH4uz
beautiful flower vases with orchids.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEegqNI6cn48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD1lqo6T4E

"I see you like 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJgSl3dgoL

"Yes, please," sad Derrick.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyKpUiuugX48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VzzMBuh4W

The butler bowed and 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3xeiAL86a
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwefGbzlMT

"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡjus5RPwK5l48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwBFLiRlED

The butler had served 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mAert7Uny

laid and folded neatly, I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJpz2MZoGR

faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehlcTj2yjh

completely odd about what I saw in the photo.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzM0UOaaeX48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM0guWmmLC

"I know this isn't 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZUecOxfmQ

and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDNf9Q8FZ948Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcpisUfPg0

"That's my brother," Derrick answered.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sj2LzmXFZ48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr90mncaVrw

again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTCdSmuMlA

I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.copyright protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YICM5nqAO48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWjZ9bmEYH
