Have you ever been awake174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60zuTQVvIj
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7aWRIYNP8
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsMFZKg4vG
day goes on?copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzqxca0RqC174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBHx6Bo266

That's how I felt right at this moment.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlwNOxcsz0174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGewD5eBS4

I tossed in my bed, 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzwxfvhwzM
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyoT5uutwA
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAShPoVUDxN
could come up so that I could meet my end already.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMegqfbDqd174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhndOCI69i

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 protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlNoTZzURZ174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlRgeWLJqi

I fell back on my bed, 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1bBQzwLc3
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUlW7azQgI
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9830piXb1o
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulqFWgfs2s
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCmRyt18kh

mind even to dream.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxk3l9AxC9174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwAfcxwr0z

I turned to my other side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxWMOm2ZZt174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwbfoKJpT3

How I wish I could fall 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKx8F1ZTs1
asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring slightly in her sleep. I174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iyIyKg4bg
stared up at the dark ceiling trying to picture things in my mind but I174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4MQkaB3Au
couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't working.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYO0mI0WCR174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ieErUFqN7

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 protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9ohcJrNh3174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVp0EXLU2X

I knew I now had to face174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH1Yxm88pJ

hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and me. And even174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmvnnal85o

bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQATCofFof174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7or9gCC2sw

I knew her persistence 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpS8Ngi9oo
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuEDCTg6h1
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oqsxG4aJw
her if I had to tell her the truth.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CdXCAFDwi174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmWzuJQNSf

I know sometimes we 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqJQ3mJjt1
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlupLWXr17b
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOxto1deP6
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0xdRAABU3
had now reached that point.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡutrTKECbrU174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfy11vZsw6

I sighed again as I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4UbyjdMx2

I went straight for the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA16v57o2Ni

Whatever my conscious 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIT4ZIWIU1
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVToDrlEbr
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that why I was tongue tied 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FyOqIjEp0

If that was the case, 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG9C5M4qqf

out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5izzVDPvSb174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU62P9iyg0

person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7WnzDCZNq

stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsOk040x9i

went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoICwQbWCN3

I wish I could tell him 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLdBx2ZPJh

keeping everything to myself, not after what I had seen.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡslaVd2S1D2174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT07ckKDH9P

Now that I had seen the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyBs98u9Xe

pretty obvious that I had to meet him alone.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpqFGh8E7h174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ljBNtKiCI

Speaking of which, I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3xWpaZexr
still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigMn7jLItS
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtudM51fPjS
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQV5MlfLzN

My heart skipped a beat.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS42X3h8mj2
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dqqlANt0Z

Before I could turn 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM3hLNU0DC
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3jhWyocHE
head. My hand reached up for whatever it was.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yS49b9ZpY174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgZNE2GDg6

"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlIuLUfRzF174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtTkLF7FGL

I took the crown from 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2OAjL8HXQ
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX7lKLoqpE
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG7r0S78yN
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPPIp8tyQr
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LTiEwvqlr174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocowy9hWzG

"It is," said Seungri 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpYj7osBXi

"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkBaxLY0uH174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Csnqyra87

"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97MA5dPT7y174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uyt1aVH9m

"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFQGz8D1Dm174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4CL1e1RB7

"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoG4yeQxek174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FKB2aauli

"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡens1YxeOrm174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClNaPOkKwt

"May her royal majesty 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HyJsAXusy

the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF1dlBlZCY174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnetx4iSOP

to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrQ98Qwydl
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZWmSqVbG2
were perfect.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PE3fzbi7j174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIyfTnQbdX

"Excellent," said the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJoJSxAp5N
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuNHRF7NRN
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMwn2pKSAY
them like a doorway. We will come in a straight line and then make a 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtIfdBMN0S
formation in front of them."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO6U1Itotu174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLnpsf4z2V

We did as the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSITfKi0DT
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtmHJAjvnk
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ5Moy1t84
the hang of it.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrzbTAENji174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwW8pcSIcw

A few minutes later, 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcZYTIzdeX
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDWCplarOj
that we can take a break with some of us with our backs on the floor and174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvePsmfEeYR
staring at the ceiling. Others were seated.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡco7QrnqCFx174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA3KyWt79I

"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmm2gnKKMe174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gm1jMmudb

I laughed, also staring 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJpDbLSQZQ
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKqKvZHZ7R
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCFONzosmH174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcy4eRQBm4

"Ya, true," said Christine who also had her back on the floor and laid a few feet away from me.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy5SpxfPaV174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaNbNZWGPW

Speaking of problems, I completely forgot about that French guy.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6hK8y7TjU174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxHXhcXYc5

I quickly scrambled up 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUioYxgP8C
from the floor passing Mike and Taeyang who were seated on the floor and174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUMH5AG2gw
still talking about the dance moves. I went to the corner of the room 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN3GLlTJj5
where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Z7xYENOM
and removed my phone.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yxNmlmLNJ174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHHdpMN5O3

I sent a message to the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNRGtC1mll
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsausi2qWQf
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhXqumdhs2
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxizpH6Exg174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5PcLjPMFb

"Good. We should meet."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUnRFvqNpJ174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77mCzEF0Bw

Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxhekEzHqn174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkOdLiAYA2

"But this is a very important issue, Sam."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzSdqxIQl8174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NXvqxa6yL

Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2FRh0wRIX174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO5q2RJCPj

"You're one smart 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx9D2zbcFK

consequences."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI18VsGEj1174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPlRtoqEB6

I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT4sLmshda174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozoXC7yxAM

"That's my girl."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK0zTV2AAl174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqa0hDpIi0

I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡCneHPZ3ihh174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGzdEcldKW

As I tucked my phone 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03jGXI29zK
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuebFetiEcB
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1ideWpA9a
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwadPQaySj7
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwJNClZ1qu174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOlOtAhMet

I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYfjy9fAJQ174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTvF6JCwkM

When they both turned to174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRWUHM4fEo
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnidJ6Hkotz
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRsnxz796r
couldn't help but feel that they were.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmda33a6ms174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNjSH0ELgj

I laid back down 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEBnnI4I6y
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZpKmWjt6p
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ceUTfzFw
two of us had in our room this morning?copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPZ7DBsCDT174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQaudydigk

Yikes! If she did, then I174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxjghGdB9j
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05ldkf6AOM
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HCgcQOq95
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZC3gUKtvU
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XRmgqvw0f174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwZ8JkoQUd

Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXCA7FDiM0174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Vfh766xf

"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaPJhtlK5Y174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbifOmvI6Ye

"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdVuzcU5JV174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LKZUtkije

"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6SWH0Cljo174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWfrbxyiE6

Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ybOQE9AK174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPpMELhmRg

"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dX4IwhDB0174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR2lRXObf8

"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW7sSOtv9M174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL5GchdLzR

"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuQsFEjjOT174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6HhSl2aIT

"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X711Qyit9174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjLtFCquOG

"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡj36rvYfZtp174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCesIUEZ8qy

"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnTCQzh9T6174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jEIAx3DHM

"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X3aZ40xnu174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw96iCLV3gJ

"No. It sounds great."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHxN83Lo2f174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSXcASRA0i

"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡNODHrthJCb174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81BMJbkNO2

"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 protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF9TP8XPFl174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlbGEOszSI

"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm3R9bVVAY174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCBgPc9HMa

"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡboNO5einXU174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUbBHUN1HC

"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNAHGpQEfv174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hYeYC2qbV

"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zS3r2fnXP174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uxKKnWT4I

"True," said Taeyang.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9d9XjngHl174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44DfGl9tmR

"Okay," I said, feeling a174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q84F6GIxS
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFnbq7ym1D
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf9LXQaNuq174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55HIln4uRq

"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuZbyrdNPb174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXRv1xCIf9

After the three had 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTPY4f6DB8
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHeYqzmu4d
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡDakRjibHyS174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqbMVcjxVz

While we waited, 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwswuxLBan
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq4XouwKYA
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT19GWl0uh
expression on his face.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J8cu52FTx174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaN2GizsUJ

"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c25nBxBpm174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD9TAyo7in

He sounded serious and I174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIggJpXFLXa
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wkQy197u3
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2w7UQq5yY174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjG0dhyBpR

"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCI6OcbRS4174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ77fQwdwia

I got up from the floor 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkG1af3kmx
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndR3e5lMHK
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGSLWIi9fA
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXhs3E3Ags174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWV0Y6f2qC

I found G-Dragon three 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANQsR4xcRe
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvUPhQyzZO
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajK5jJbyMC
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmp1Oh6mtX
close.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3vtbpkBvS174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArtugKlOjl

"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtvizjvLbn174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuEozY7LwT

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 protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBl63oL6Y2174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHgNJ54Pry

"It's about Zoey," he said.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV64ohtITY174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Zgwg0S5k

I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtr6M1qhMC174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIOS6oQe9n

"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 protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡECeZIhouom174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x5olOtpDU

"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXhD1GVvpO174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqWYGseHlj

"Really? That's all you can say?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1iV74XymJ174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y2Rr9fhnp

"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0lp04Hoy5174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuXJTiymIb

"Yet I couldn't."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡt49M0hRXQd174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3AfU1oaiM

"Zoey is right. You're 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXhwHaPfwx

you know I was supposed to do it."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2e2rf69EF174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0rigljFvC

"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡepLisunc9X174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5zIChSrwp

"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD1vq1NhZD174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXdd0e6nWT

I paused before I could say, "what?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFFJI7YOhC174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKETbXaxhP3

"You heard me loud and 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg8uZKLRbh

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 protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92xayXclec174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatziXy3Jqf

I now realised that I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoinGgVKZm
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ04pghdLdx
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQgqNiw2OJ

I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd0jj8HUZh174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oJaxIZXDy

"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL0y4Url0G174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV6Mh3sVeU

"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjU6tNPdsZ174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXgvW10fkx

G-Dragon took a step 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmV4wtNvqr
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NmazEd2As

"Yes. But I know you 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nIjtbwqLJ

"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsZAGkn9UR174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsFbollQy0

I turned around to head 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR7TYbbSyM
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64sIhsNHYj

I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYvRYkyomd174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmno3Am1f8H

I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RjBtTU5Eo174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSceK2j13g3

"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJQJOUteln174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FQWnwBlge

I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDm4uko3IL174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDCSGcfIrn

I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRCAt6tnc7174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkzD5CW7Fd

I heard the door open 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJT2FgyhCP

who were waiting for either of us to say something.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTfb66oxnZ174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWope5DMFqR

Before anyone could 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk5d1x0aUJ
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWXomW6fME
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ2LX8oKNP
we went back to practising.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg7TECd9a1174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK9GXbeXl9

I don't know how I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG16EpsAwIn
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb37dO4mdP9
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qUb7RmmPI
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvJBa93KFM
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QPf4EkqR9

It was lunch time and 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazHTbR3fCJ
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KzR0Evk5m

stranger.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74hmgosEVP174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWqpQBgTRS

Now that we were on a 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSCcJDQeYV
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsBPxMakiW
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0SBqIdGC4
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeXbqGOhVN
too awkward for me.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt6LnKnAUy174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwfPmNBw7U

Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLdPWN5Vdg174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiVlTl371F

I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡjllBHCZagV174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAU9LkQACL

"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUp6GMR4nL174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPiDFEqgay

Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZwQPtEUpS174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDQ6YKr2Rt

"Good idea," said Taeyang.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KXhihcrCi174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjWAW9qTcQ

As though they couldn't 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ET86YTZk
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpQqHtZIxA
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4UxEQG4KS
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was entirely my fault.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSndyze0Bj174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeTz71G6VF

A few seconds later, 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM5hcMKcuh
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5lHC0yi5i
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0w4zE5fK1
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbN0s0Mdcg
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq1ELzjALS174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZlQGXQegV

As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPDM7V4jnG174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqV4uvIALt

"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfzZs8yH8a174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGEpG7qskC

"A lot has happened 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOB4Fi2vxi

"That's not the worst 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPItkYn7gN

"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAOY35VfyL174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllh8O2Z0YI

I cut the call and this 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJTvg5tTzM

all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4kHvJNjjU174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pupyjrxkq

I reached the bottom of 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf598Aqd3jN

the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJuh82AAzV
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P0aXAAbDU
voices that I could recognise.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjZJevM5Vr174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuF9ukrvY2

I went over to look, 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLL52U8DuI
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvyyFw9gHM
Toxins and BigBang in the lobby heading out. They were going out for 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGgPQLahh8
lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could turn around and 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjST5YWZ6zu
head for the back door, I ended up hearing their conversation.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡK81y65E2kc174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ZnGFUPVB

"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGh8nMRb6b174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5iTV9E6qV

"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62u5MIByOx174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJO8PM4PTE

"I'm just surprised that174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIMj6tZ1jU

he wasn't upset like I thought he would.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zF27L7MNs174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgfeo40tTU

"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA9gIw2AI9174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dDUxJnwLG

"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPbfVYYwxN174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoCqksmpWo

"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xmIAutIgg174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnF9C4eDx7

"I think so too," said 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFlazSUXoF

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 protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWoTbjSaPp174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPYxZypTvN

I was expecting them to 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9CBpSZ8vL
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxsReiwZnO
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizDg6COvwj

Throwing that thought 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPSTG6cc5z
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n8EEehsKN
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Sf0z8Pe9
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqkcKQMBpX174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFY2zE8LRe

There were still more 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSBtwgIOIs
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvwuLw3Uli
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vY2yyHGky
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFqx8XNQLw

away.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Tz15TTfJ174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLcdNKMvr6

In what seemed like 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mLuTTsGKd

handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdCgwdNki3174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFv6TjRFOi

"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDtJQdACP0174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSExmyrPfb

"Ya, that will be a good174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcDHVgrdYk

Lee and I started to 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFCgnxwPLu
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SJ20V1CG0

When I finally managed 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmdhueC9LM

away from the YG gate and down the street.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8YNTT0DPh174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdPAqLlLNd

I had to admit, I was so174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7zrp3F1cr
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONfUGPmS7b
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MpRnPCJBp

blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qUCXayw7w

that he must be 24 or 25. He had gorgeous blue eyes like the colour of 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeGOx7HLoM

"And you must be the guy I was talking to over the phone?" I asked.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIPufsllR0174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj3isk2ZY5

"Yes, a pleasure to meet174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDOY9PU5FY

and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡRThbKzD2Lx174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49v7sYrvYq

"I'm sorry we had to 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR3pQdeLiT

fancy leathered seats. "But I needed to talk to you, and fast."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LP4XyKTSU174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Yz8rxzWv

I looked at him and 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xn3WdgbYy
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HwK7rW6jS
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnTUW1ltBi

"I...uh." Yikes! I was 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyLNVrAvmy

me. "Nothing. This wasn't what I was expecting."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFthKqQvkJ174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KAbgTgOzO

There was silence and I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwmKkhbUNy
didn't want to look at him. He was obviously looking at me and that made174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRo3afrSxz

something.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3X2DGVFL9174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnDd8XvkRi

"You never told me your name," I said as I looked at him. Dang it! I wasn't supposed to look at him.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRemevUbpv174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk9hnkwOc3

"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMXtxuGwam174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00Tt4KB4PR

It was a huge apartment 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsTf2XnbAD
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yF3mRgtiZ
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡywfDvVJRdG174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki0eL5ZnaP

After the car parked, 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqh7Fk53wF
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDdlGAdX3w
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnPXBB3BYd

came out of the car.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2qKn5OMZF174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43cipSSDQV

still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WLHF51Ivo
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAstTRmLvc
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtrIWZcDvm174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE01DLWeAt

Derrick pressed the elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4TeIpargn174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDqxl5DmN9

When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JpytNEhzD174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5KdzD4Vpz

"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk7o24ofHU174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87e88SU56v

"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHYvWGU68a174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT9Zru55QT

The elevator doors flew 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVDv5MNyvJ
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWRbXiV1yH
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdspMC1HR4B

doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zb1XWWeDT
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ223jPZcEDX

"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3o9baYWXJ174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiatmujlHYZ

I looked down the hall 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwSs2xN5Cb
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iCX95RXvZ
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNaSaEbvm9

coming.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSAdcr8KHU174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQQ4N0aEXF

"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Ob3tpOx3174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmtOeDsq9O

beautiful flower vases with orchids.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx5QTZ9G2d174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxyHx8q6RG

"I see you like 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6IRNnBbDt

"Yes, please," sad Derrick.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡareN7bcpmB174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmmdy2sNVD

The butler bowed and 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSq1Zy83o9
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBy4yq6eWO
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pbmCJp5wl

I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡbulCig8jDZ174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXdTgyfdLz

"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44rbYnAW2k174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR0sEW5epb

faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ58YKKisL
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzWTT1rMld
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XJjh5Agbe174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfFW9z60yv

"I know this isn't 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJemRd7Cvz

and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmJMZ128lG174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgXmd7Vj8u

"You think he is threatening Zoey?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pFA0lxBs3174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe1nwnKh9n

"He did visit Zoey in that café, didn't he?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XBqpIdedo174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zyYLuRAMg

"Wait! That was him?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhXQBihF9X174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhNHLUlZKD

"Yes. I was there."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdmfNnAlY2174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkS0IoosGx

"You were there too?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡo20ZspIGEV174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO7nNSREtE

"Yes. That's when I thought you should help me out with this."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cd1tOjKtt174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfVIWGDiGn

"But what if I can't?" I folded my armscopyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2H4hvsSQr174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGHNHpc5RT

"Zoey is your best friend, isn't she?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡVetVdVlWB0174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHIJ4vBWa5

"She is."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFC4H5S1Pm174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4kvNgcqzS

"And wouldn't you like to help her out?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxobCGG4zx174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuzvigUvlM

I was frustrated with the questions. "I would. But if she didn't tell me, then maybe it's not that serious."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuLZqZUMVw174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYt6HyCjuM

"And do you really think she would?"copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNcoSTuLVj174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4RIAFZM5y

I thought about his 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT3epmujRQ
question for a moment. He was right. Some people wouldn't tell the truth174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gOAnw80PC
just to prevent the ones they love from getting hurt. Maybe that's what174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeHEXhjX4p
Zoey did and I was too silly not to have realised it sooner.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pRwBtdixM174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJjzXIWs2O

"You're right," I said as I looked at my hands on my lap. She wasn't the only one who kept secrets.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3hB2IBXuw174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi847IsDRss

"Have you tried talking to your brother about this?" I asked.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgkFFcz9Xv174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufHbTEtdBx

"No. He doesn't know that I'm onto him. And knowing how he is, he isn't going to tell me anything."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5VkBwNOPl174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7gVHeDDHG

I tapped my fingers on the table and I took the glass of water that was next to me and I drank.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFoShqBSn5174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZOw7xZKpr

I had to think of something fast and I was running out of time. I had to get back to the studio within thirty minutes.copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRmJx1W7aT174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTGU4AyyNa

"Before I go, tell me 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5phmlYBZCi
all you know about what happened in Paris," I said as I looked at 174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4iuAp1z9r
Derrick, giving him the eye. "And don't leave anything out."copyright protection170ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDZxXA4LpU
