Zoey's P.O.V:817Please respect copyright.PENANA5VofzgDwn1
I was still in the dance817Please respect copyright.PENANArF0R6IOIFH
studio with my back on the floor and my face facing the ceiling. I took817Please respect copyright.PENANAC8NDy6oqgS
a deep breath and let it out, trying to relax myself. But I couldn't. I817Please respect copyright.PENANAQFLx10siyy
wondered how I got to this point with everything crumbling down to 817Please respect copyright.PENANAFB5hXS80OU
pieces.817Please respect copyright.PENANANmtbogc5Iz
G-Dragon had left me 817Please respect copyright.PENANA9bK9iCeZ34
alone to think after our talk. As much as it hurt talking to him, it 817Please respect copyright.PENANA9H3WqT4JPa
wasn't as intense as the one he and Sam shared when they argued down the817Please respect copyright.PENANAXTweNBv61Q
hall earlier. I knew GD was trying to go calm and easy on me, which he 817Please respect copyright.PENANA9shY7ZJOB3
did. But I was still hurting as hell.817Please respect copyright.PENANAuiHCVul6Iz
It was now over between 817Please respect copyright.PENANAAJZ5Eph9KV
us. I knew I had it coming because I wasn't going to stay here in Korea 817Please respect copyright.PENANAmGDXou0jdn
for long. But I never knew it was all because G-Dragon really liked Sam.817Please respect copyright.PENANANsRFLhhI4Y
That felt like a blow to my face.817Please respect copyright.PENANA6uYtoeJcz4
I was hurting, I was 817Please respect copyright.PENANAtWpzvXFx3t
pissed and angry. I should have known better that G-Dragon never had 817Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZJcIINiH4
eyes for me in the first place, but for Sam. Who I bet felt guilty and 817Please respect copyright.PENANACrL1HigXms
tried to tell me the truth earlier on this morning, but I never took her817Please respect copyright.PENANAwwyAkczWsL
seriously. Come to think of it, I never do take her seriously. But she 817Please respect copyright.PENANAuyrrzcvbXW
couldn't come to tell me that G-Dragon liked her because she knew 817Please respect copyright.PENANAdQOu1L8LoL
G-Dragon was supposed to tell me himself. No wonder she kept quiet. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAfu4ZffAaDv
Looks like her conscious took the better of her and told her not to.817Please respect copyright.PENANAeudObVDvjK
I was glad that all of 817Please respect copyright.PENANAFmi32sLc8z
this was bought to light, but now, all of our group members know. And as817Please respect copyright.PENANAKehhTANprz
for Daesung, I always knew he had eyes for Sam but the two of them 817Please respect copyright.PENANApkTzYpUd33
accepted that they could never be together. That was pretty brave of 817Please respect copyright.PENANAO7xmPzzZyi
them if you ask me. I wish I could be a little more like Sam on learning817Please respect copyright.PENANAUHFuLcV8II
how to let go.817Please respect copyright.PENANAYJpfkop4dh
I sighed. But I couldn't817Please respect copyright.PENANAUVigbWK8W7
let go of G-Dragon. He had something that other guys I have dated or 817Please respect copyright.PENANAfj7oGsNArR
met in my life never had that drew me close to him. But looks like he 817Please respect copyright.PENANA12Sx0yp4J2
wasn't mine to keep, nor Sam's.817Please respect copyright.PENANA3CndC6pZgG
I don't know what to 817Please respect copyright.PENANAQUmLNxlTKJ
think now that I know he had always liked Sam from the very beginning. I817Please respect copyright.PENANACREGKhxPcx
was angry at the both of them from keeping all of this from me, but I 817Please respect copyright.PENANADdi6WyM6qj
was also pretty mad at myself for playing the fool.817Please respect copyright.PENANAwoM2210e5A
What hurt me the most 817Please respect copyright.PENANANSSJQXamjU
was the kiss G-Dragon and I shared in Paris. Everything felt so real 817Please respect copyright.PENANAFRyo6xXNV1
back then, but now, it was like a faded memory. When G-Dragon told me 817Please respect copyright.PENANAfq4NTw2b5u
earlier that he had always liked Sam, I had asked him what our kiss in 817Please respect copyright.PENANAxD0fdmzK4I
Paris meant to him. He told me he did all that just to distract himself 817Please respect copyright.PENANAp6vYGxxmaz
because Sam had pissed him off earlier. I know the two had argued a 817Please respect copyright.PENANA5zE01luOBX
couple of times before, but I never knew it was that serious to the 817Please respect copyright.PENANA61Rhdv9JzR
extent that he had to use me as a distraction just to get his mind off 817Please respect copyright.PENANACL466BFaiN
her. For some reason, I felt so used.817Please respect copyright.PENANAxY0WSmdcns
He did say he was sorry 817Please respect copyright.PENANAHqluCvHjb3
and that he didn't want to hurt me. I couldn't stay mad at him. For some817Please respect copyright.PENANADrtpTQ0meg
reason, I just couldn't. But I was mad at Sam though. She should have 817Please respect copyright.PENANAdjta7B705y
told me what was going on. We were best friends for crying out loud.817Please respect copyright.PENANAuHGKnAawdI
She had a lot of 817Please respect copyright.PENANAV0bPEixacw
explaining to do. That's if I get to cool down first. I still had a lot 817Please respect copyright.PENANALUzRDSFm0N
of things pending in my mind and I had to be really careful with what I 817Please respect copyright.PENANAvkhltjDkWl
was going to say to her.817Please respect copyright.PENANA9T4YRm7SIQ
As I got up from the 817Please respect copyright.PENANAp0YCo2ue09
floor, the door to the studio flew open and Christine came in with what 817Please respect copyright.PENANAO3cgu9O0My
looked like a lunch takeout in a plastic bag. I could tell by the look 817Please respect copyright.PENANAm1omPByDiu
on her face that she was trying to figure out what words to say to me so817Please respect copyright.PENANAyKJPXvSyeb
that I couldn't get mad any further.817Please respect copyright.PENANAtUWrIHvY28
"Hey, Zoey," said Christine as she closed the door behind her. "I brought you your lunch."817Please respect copyright.PENANAOdrmK7ogxR
I managed to put up a smile. "Thanks, Christine."817Please respect copyright.PENANANh3C8U9oz6
She walked up to me. "So, did you guys talk?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAAJSEGguObe
"Ya." I nodded my head. "We did."817Please respect copyright.PENANAmo8sDsOI7v
"We saw G-Dragon earlier," said Christine. "The others are talking to him, so I came here to check up on you."817Please respect copyright.PENANARc2ZIGfn1f
"Thanks. I'm okay, but I just realised that I'm pretty hungry."817Please respect copyright.PENANAKqINc0Wk1d
"Here." Christine gave me my lunch and I sat down on the floor to eat. She sat also down, facing me.817Please respect copyright.PENANA1hvf8RXdsl
"So, how are things?" Christine asked.817Please respect copyright.PENANA4S3INySwRF
"I don't know whether to say things are good or bad," I said as I bit a slice of pizza.817Please respect copyright.PENANAk1lJeVq2oI
"Looking at you, it's pretty bad. G-Dragon said it's over between the two of you."817Please respect copyright.PENANAkyzwEkojYD
"Ya, it is. I was so stupid to think that we would last."817Please respect copyright.PENANA5SDWgU3AV1
"Come on, Zoey. I think 817Please respect copyright.PENANANzn7lBPyH5
it was pretty obvious. I mean, we weren't going to stay here for long. 817Please respect copyright.PENANA925DWUZBwm
And you know what Collins told us last time."817Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3xD8bRccL
"I know. But I never knew it would be because of Sam." I bit another piece of pizza in my mouth.817Please respect copyright.PENANALVjIqTPjEv
Christine winced. "Sorry817Please respect copyright.PENANARHcAcOYD5K
to break it to you, Zoey, but it was quite clear from the day we got 817Please respect copyright.PENANAXrOzsSnF88
here that G-Dragon had eyes for her this whole time."817Please respect copyright.PENANANE73bWrTEP
I stopped chewing on my pizza and looked up at Christine.817Please respect copyright.PENANA4lXBZhKqS7
"What? You knew about this and you never told me?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAwm6P5tra6y
Christine shrugged her 817Please respect copyright.PENANAUD2dDkJXCh
shoulders. "You're the one with the eyes for these things, not me. 817Please respect copyright.PENANA2aJVX12YC7
Sadly, you got too attached to G-Dragon that you couldn't even realise 817Please respect copyright.PENANAKQW6CzLpcR
it yourself."817Please respect copyright.PENANANhbYPpQOBB
I chewed slowly as I 817Please respect copyright.PENANANF4yay9XBw
thought of what she said. "I guess you're right. Is that the reason why 817Please respect copyright.PENANAXWYMJdc3y7
you said G-Dragon and Sam would have made a perfect couple during that 817Please respect copyright.PENANAodqUZ5hnKN
interview?"817Please respect copyright.PENANASPuwfBbddC
"Well, ya. I thought by saying that, you would open your eyes for once. But that didn't work."817Please respect copyright.PENANARgdmUQzpHb
"Ya. And Daniel said the same thing too and I got mad at him for it. I still wish you could have told me though."817Please respect copyright.PENANAcZjQ6Bh0sQ
"So you could burst into an uproar and tear everyone's heads out? No way." She shook her head.817Please respect copyright.PENANAf8TTlXLc1m
"Look at me, Christine. I might be hurt but I'm still composed."817Please respect copyright.PENANAXZ9g166Vg7
"And what if Sam shows up? Wouldn't you be in an uproar then?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAa3lPzlgo0P
I had no words. Maybe 817Please respect copyright.PENANA1zHjkmXvrF
Christine was right. I don't know what I would do if Sam were to come 817Please respect copyright.PENANAn3hLyPSB5o
into the room. As much as I was pissed at G-Dragon, I was pretty furious817Please respect copyright.PENANA8KkwOpppq7
at Sam.817Please respect copyright.PENANAmiu6Op2nRb
"No, I wouldn't," I said, ignoring Christine.817Please respect copyright.PENANAkZYbi2i9NC
"Yes, you would. A lot 817Please respect copyright.PENANAi3WIxpvFuq
of us know you too well, Zoey. And you're probably wondering what 817Please respect copyright.PENANAUBIDSJFxRZ
G-Dragon saw in Sam that he couldn't see in you."817Please respect copyright.PENANA5rgODY9C2d
I got irritated now, 817Please respect copyright.PENANAKhI3fVzjM3
knowing that Christine was right. "So what? That's not going to put me 817Please respect copyright.PENANAcPrN0y9m0p
into a fit of a tantrum when I see her."817Please respect copyright.PENANAZz2C9URMLh
"It would, Zoey. And as 817Please respect copyright.PENANAhBWFWlebCi
much as it's normal to think that way because you're hurt and pretty 817Please respect copyright.PENANAEGx3jU2PAm
much jealous, you also have to look at things through Sam's point of 817Please respect copyright.PENANA9KUksVtkDj
view."817Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gxx8eYPMD
"Hey! I'm not jealous."817Please respect copyright.PENANAFyKq319tno
Christine rolled her 817Please respect copyright.PENANAvULaflQAwA
eyes at me. "Whatever. But promise me you won't shout in Sam's face when817Please respect copyright.PENANA9axJpVeI0Y
you see her. I bet she feels really bad about this and I know she 817Please respect copyright.PENANADN4uDfq8ok
couldn't tell you because she didn't want you to get hurt."817Please respect copyright.PENANAYqGgWdBcY0
"Why are you saying that? Did she tell you that she already knew that G-Dragon liked her?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAqaTd5LYfQq
"No. But knowing her 817Please respect copyright.PENANAN2gMBxbmYw
character, she would do exactly that. You're her best friend and I know 817Please respect copyright.PENANAF7xiqRoFlW
she would do nothing to hurt you. It must be pretty bad for her too."817Please respect copyright.PENANAeMAJxTQ2ta
"I know, but, I can't believe that G-Dragon fell for her and not me."817Please respect copyright.PENANAPztAifKyzR
"Here we go," said 817Please respect copyright.PENANA27U0BJ24eB
Christine, throwing her hands in the air. "You really think all this is 817Please respect copyright.PENANABmkrQ2eaIX
about you? That all the nice guys are supposed to fall for you wherever 817Please respect copyright.PENANA0yktr1bBYy
you go?"817Please respect copyright.PENANA2zYUj6at0u
"No. It's just...."817Please respect copyright.PENANAjrGRHrPQUb
"Don't say another word, Zoey. It's clear to see that you aren't concerned about Sam at all."817Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZhpPLZjdB
That hurt. And a lot too. "That's not true. Sam is my best friend. Yes, I'm mad because she didn't tell me what was going on."817Please respect copyright.PENANAoERjj4x2Db
"Then you as her best 817Please respect copyright.PENANAmepgJzs004
friend should understand why she did that. You heard her down that hall 817Please respect copyright.PENANAVUkxNTEGHG
when she argued with G-Dragon about telling you the truth. It's because 817Please respect copyright.PENANA2Etiw3EgCL
she didn't want to see you hurt. She never does and she never will."817Please respect copyright.PENANA9EAlrH02Nz
I looked down on the 817Please respect copyright.PENANAGO2KK8mojV
floor feeling a little guilty. I know Sam and her character, and she was817Please respect copyright.PENANAhWDRFEbx17
one who wouldn't like to hurt anyone. But I still couldn't help but 817Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0a8l4SoJf
feel mad.817Please respect copyright.PENANArOXtqkFz9s
"Okay, okay. It's just that, this has never really happened to me before."817Please respect copyright.PENANAqIXSBj3vni
"That's because you 817Please respect copyright.PENANAH4aRF6plPx
always think guys would fall for you all the time no matter what. It's 817Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2xNlQHHRT
been like that since high school. You were the one whom all the boys 817Please respect copyright.PENANAB0ioui8iEc
admired and Sam was one who you never thought could ever make any guy 817Please respect copyright.PENANAZBX9UhX455
fall for her, especially G-Dragon."817Please respect copyright.PENANAnN9DfDF6QK
"Mmmm. Maybe. It's not my fault that I attract so many guys."817Please respect copyright.PENANAbFrPe0hb9X
"Well, I hope what's happened will help you realise that not everything is all about you."817Please respect copyright.PENANAi9RcohnDcn
I sighed. I had now lost my appetite after what she had said.817Please respect copyright.PENANAQck7nErKE8
"I hope Sam is alright," said Christine. "Have you seen her?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAwlfKtaVgXb
"No, I thought she was with you guys," I said.817Please respect copyright.PENANAOst2VXto4i
"She never came downstairs with us."817Please respect copyright.PENANAmgN4xhzn8g
"She must be around here somewhere. She will show up when it's time for practise."817Please respect copyright.PENANAhO9szpA1rE
"I hope so. Anyway we will be starting soon. Now remember. Don't get mad, okay?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAENdzjWMu5k
"I'll try. I'm not promising anything."817Please respect copyright.PENANApUG3VyPjuN
The door flew open all 817Please respect copyright.PENANA8QzajFvy1M
of the sudden and thinking it was Sam, the guys came in the room. I felt817Please respect copyright.PENANAQR9Phg8Csw
a little relieved. But I looked away when G-Dragon came in. I still 817Please respect copyright.PENANA5TvGGU2yRg
wasn't ready to look at him yet.817Please respect copyright.PENANARkcvNBz6ID
"Ummm, has anyone seen Sam?" Daniel asked, after looking around the room.817Please respect copyright.PENANAD3QPkhNAXO
"No, we haven't," said Christine getting up from the floor.817Please respect copyright.PENANAzsBoWXRi2N
"She must be around here somewhere," said Taeyang.817Please respect copyright.PENANAFR9gVwOykP
"I bet she hasn't eaten lunch yet," said Mike. "I think I should go and look for her."817Please respect copyright.PENANA4VhC7zu9F9
"Why not call her?" I asked. "I bet she carried her phone."817Please respect copyright.PENANAiJbBkIytjV
"Zoey," Christine looked at me with a frown on her face.817Please respect copyright.PENANAq4pdrAziH9
"What?" I looked up at her as I shrugged my shoulders.817Please respect copyright.PENANAGTwrTNqaZk
"Arrgh!" she growled in frustration and looked away.817Please respect copyright.PENANAfFk0b2IFiC
"Wow, girls, what's up?" Seungri asked with a surprised look on his face. "Don't tell me you two were arguing too?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAM5h20Qf1WF
"No, just trying to convince some people around here about doing the right thing," said Christine as she looked down at me.817Please respect copyright.PENANAV7wg86T8k3
I could have stuck out my tongue at her, but I didn't. I kept my cool and I continued to eat my pizza.817Please respect copyright.PENANAn3O88Sm7ud
"Guys, we have a problem," said TOP.817Please respect copyright.PENANAQhu7UD4C1D
We all turned to look at him and he was holding his phone in his hand. Had he been trying to call Sam?817Please respect copyright.PENANAyC9dpijcF8
"What is it?" G-Dragon asked.817Please respect copyright.PENANAdTTX6141yD
"Sam isn't picking my call," TOP answered. "It's ringing but she isn't picking up."817Please respect copyright.PENANAJPELL6F2Dg
"Maybe she put her phone on silent," said Mike.817Please respect copyright.PENANAqvtlryhMPq
"Meaning we have to look for her then," said Taeyang.817Please respect copyright.PENANARhgDisiGYx
"I'll look for her," said Daniel. "I bet she is at the recording studio."817Please respect copyright.PENANAn5fuy5wTX9
"I'm coming with you," said Daesung.817Please respect copyright.PENANAbcIpUngQWq
"Count me in," said Mike.817Please respect copyright.PENANAzvxfnFTPLK
Christine came beside me817Please respect copyright.PENANArYDBqf17yv
and gave me a nudge on my leg with her foot. I looked up at her and she817Please respect copyright.PENANA1pKV3Wktgn
jerked her head towards the door. I knew she wanted me to go with them 817Please respect copyright.PENANAKrousekxXn
to look for Sam. I didn't want to snap at her so I just had to comply.817Please respect copyright.PENANA8Fj3xjfhkk
"I'm also coming with you," I said as I stood up from the floor.817Please respect copyright.PENANAWANk9qi1uw
"Why don't we all go?" Christine asked.817Please respect copyright.PENANAmAobfYiT6q
"Okay," said G-Dragon. "Let's just hope that the choreographer doesn't come here and find us missing."817Please respect copyright.PENANAUBWkgguttE
"Then someone should stay behind and explain what's going on," I said. "So, I'll stay."817Please respect copyright.PENANA4aM056D6jf
"No, we are all going," said Christine as she held my arm. "If we're going to get in trouble together then we all will."817Please respect copyright.PENANAE8Jm09am3a
I sighed as I rolled my eyes. "Fine."817Please respect copyright.PENANAXZOTFgL8aP
"Let's go up to the recording studio," said TOP. "I'll continue to call Sam and check if she is okay."817Please respect copyright.PENANAFmpfvcvPL5
Daesung opened the door 817Please respect copyright.PENANAIT87XXw7AR
and went out of the room first and we all followed. I seriously wasn't 817Please respect copyright.PENANA2zP8txIsEi
in the mood to go and start looking for Sam. If anything, I should be 817Please respect copyright.PENANASnxXKsEkqn
given more time to think and try to calm down. But I couldn't help but 817Please respect copyright.PENANA7PFgubYCYU
worry about her whereabouts too.817Please respect copyright.PENANA4vywXVN8FQ
We all went upstairs and817Please respect copyright.PENANAvKb44nANYW
checked every recording room. There was still no sign of her. And TOP 817Please respect copyright.PENANAJvvJSKuVal
had tried calling but she still wasn't picking up.817Please respect copyright.PENANAHb6jVp9OGJ
When we came to the 817Please respect copyright.PENANAhHvJf1wk0O
second last studio room down the hall, we found Sam settled on the 817Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZeaEpzL5n
couch. She seemed to be busy because she was bended over a small table 817Please respect copyright.PENANAP76r2ujVpC
in front of her, with a pen in her hand and was scribbling something on a817Please respect copyright.PENANAdVe5A4Q3NW
sheet of paper.817Please respect copyright.PENANAFXqRle14sn
"Sam," Mike called out to her as he rushed into the room.817Please respect copyright.PENANAoElS0i2lsZ
Sam quickly looked up. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1mz1wto6m
Telling on the look on her face, she was pretty preoccupied, as always. I817Please respect copyright.PENANALXcGIQ5BrJ
wondered what she was writing. Hopefully not a run away letter saying 817Please respect copyright.PENANA0n43hHReNA
that she will leave the group because of what she has done.817Please respect copyright.PENANAgse4ZothuD
We all came in the room 817Please respect copyright.PENANAe8lZqtJB2i
and to be honest, I didn't want to be here. I could tell that G-Dragon 817Please respect copyright.PENANARBopP6fBUh
also felt the same. I looked at him and he seemed pretty uncomfortable.817Please respect copyright.PENANAFgWOWmBm6i
"May I ask what you're doing here?" Daniel asked Sam.817Please respect copyright.PENANArx1x9a9sse
"I...I was just...." Sam817Please respect copyright.PENANA3hDcH6ZQMf
looked down at the paper she was scribbling on and then up at her 817Please respect copyright.PENANAwbdg7pngqK
brothers. "I just needed to be alone for a while. That's why I came 817Please respect copyright.PENANAOFbQ6SGLE7
here."817Please respect copyright.PENANAq31na6pJuM
"But are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You weren't picking up your phone."817Please respect copyright.PENANAahZaYMfXeK
"I put it on silent," said Sam, as she scratched her head. "Sorry if I worried you."817Please respect copyright.PENANACINPSXlYZl
"Apologising isn't one of your best traits, Sam," I blurted out without thinking. "I'm surprised you're doing so now."817Please respect copyright.PENANAkuG3rTsA4C
Everyone turned to look 817Please respect copyright.PENANAP6JSwHL7aH
at me and I could tell they were shocked with what I said. But I didn't 817Please respect copyright.PENANAqNTZr9ZZsc
care. I had my hands on my hips to show how mad I was.817Please respect copyright.PENANAPtW3eLPYZt
"Zoey," Sam stood up from the couch and I could tell she was sorry just by looking in her eyes. "We need to talk."817Please respect copyright.PENANAPSzwkQMunr
"There is nothing to talk about, Sam. G-Dragon told me everything and I don't need to listen to you."817Please respect copyright.PENANA4Khs15dBDe
"Zoey!" Christine interfered.817Please respect copyright.PENANAXTJsTxzrgv
"Let me talk, Christine," I said, holding my hand up to Christine to stop her from talking.817Please respect copyright.PENANAluG8H912yv
"Zoey, I know you're mad at me. But I didn't want it to go down like this," said Sam.817Please respect copyright.PENANAJLCAngre1r
"Well, it's a little too817Please respect copyright.PENANAerspO7mBVE
late for that, isn't it? Why didn't you tell me all this before? And 817Please respect copyright.PENANAdPnK6xwYwi
don't try to say you were only doing it so that I wouldn't get hurt."817Please respect copyright.PENANAgQAyiQG9Fj
Sam opened her mouth but817Please respect copyright.PENANAPeed1P8f0V
closed it again. I could see tears well up in her eyes. If she thought 817Please respect copyright.PENANAYsYU5RhA4S
crying would make me forgive her, she was dead wrong. I was a little 817Please respect copyright.PENANAydiEurtVj9
surprised when no tear fell down her cheek.817Please respect copyright.PENANAGLvoThIADx
"I'm sorry, Zoey," she said. "But what else could I tell you?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAUGNt0sKDyA
"Why you stole G-Dragon from me!"817Please respect copyright.PENANAxpC8yzHOeQ
"I didn't steal him from you, Zoey."817Please respect copyright.PENANAAgqh9pQUdV
"Now you're just talking nonsense," said Christine.817Please respect copyright.PENANAvkUTFLcuw1
"Shut up, Christine!" I snapped at her.817Please respect copyright.PENANAoc4mo9LHEf
"The drama queen must have hit her head or something," Daniel said, shaking his head.817Please respect copyright.PENANA82OKve83WT
"I didn't hit my head," I said as I turned to look at Daniel.817Please respect copyright.PENANAePA8P12MGy
"You're acting like you have," said G-Dragon. "What's wrong with you?"817Please respect copyright.PENANA1qiU18GX4I
I turned to look at G-Dragon and I couldn't believe that he was also calling me crazy.817Please respect copyright.PENANAHl1i64MAn9
"This is unbelievable," I said as I rubbed my forehead. "Now I'm the crazy one."817Please respect copyright.PENANAyuaF7YTtIm
"Zoey, please calm down," said Seungri. "This isn't good for you or for anyone else."817Please respect copyright.PENANABXrbcwhpur
I took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling. Then I went back to looking at Sam.817Please respect copyright.PENANAqVRVN5s0fk
"If you've a better explanation to all this, I'll be in the dance studio."817Please respect copyright.PENANASowcaT2eRP
I turned around and went out of the room, banging the door loudly behind me.817Please respect copyright.PENANASE6dblYohZ
***817Please respect copyright.PENANAAjBE4Cpt5k
817Please respect copyright.PENANAAREjZXH0dF
Sam's P.O.V:817Please respect copyright.PENANAYn2NeLXc3b
I winced when the door 817Please respect copyright.PENANALMmWbSElem
banged shut in front of me. I knew Zoey was going to be furious. And 817Please respect copyright.PENANATFsKUf2Ptf
trying to cool her down was going to be difficult. I had to work on a 817Please respect copyright.PENANAFxAdLH6IzA
different approach to get to her.817Please respect copyright.PENANA3GEopPR5iE
I looked at the others 817Please respect copyright.PENANAlptTdD1rYC
in front of me and they were silent. Looks like they were pretty much 817Please respect copyright.PENANAmO0cyDfZjw
ready for Zoey's outburst than I was.817Please respect copyright.PENANA3jiga8nFCD
"We better get going, the choreographer will be back any moment," said TOP.817Please respect copyright.PENANAfgvW7S4moP
"Are you crazy?" Mike 817Please respect copyright.PENANA9mExjzafay
asked as he turned to look at TOP. "I'm not going in that room if Zoey 817Please respect copyright.PENANAfkucrxdxuh
is going to continue acting like a lunatic."817Please respect copyright.PENANASw3QSuJLf1
"Mike's right," said Daesung. "Maybe we should just cancel practise today, for things to settle down."817Please respect copyright.PENANAGFo7o7INVI
"As much as that is a good idea, you heard what the managers said," said Taeyang. "We've to work on the music video on Monday."817Please respect copyright.PENANAQpQlXaFsoQ
"We have to come up with817Please respect copyright.PENANAcFNTipKkCh
something then," said Christine. "Because just as Mike said, dancing 817Please respect copyright.PENANA6fXdguTAzU
with Zoey is going to be dangerous. The next thing we know, we would all817Please respect copyright.PENANAhTotxdEKAS
be landing on our faces in that studio."817Please respect copyright.PENANAK7sYGMi3d7
"I agree," said Seungri. "Does anyone have any plans?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAbqfEm31hwn
"I can pretend I sprain my ankle," said Daniel. "That will give us enough time for things to settle."817Please respect copyright.PENANAfsEWwhYuRP
"No, they will bring in a medical examiner and make things worse," said Taeyang.817Please respect copyright.PENANA8JqF21glTj
"Okay, this is tough," said Christine, as she started to pace up and down.817Please respect copyright.PENANAdX8fHZvfTr
"We wouldn't be going through all this if it wasn't for you, Sam," said G-Dragon.817Please respect copyright.PENANAqDCnKuDvDr
Everyone, including me turned to look at G-Dragon who was standing further away from us at the door.817Please respect copyright.PENANAPU7vhav4CO
"What did I do?" I 817Please respect copyright.PENANATw7AT0tVoS
asked. "If you mean telling Zoey the truth, that's supposed to rest on 817Please respect copyright.PENANAL823JwmvBL
your shoulders and not just mine alone."817Please respect copyright.PENANAIQpFMS8zVM
"But I did tell you that I would handle it, didn't I?"817Please respect copyright.PENANANEoN65HS3K
"Whether you told her 817Please respect copyright.PENANAKZufX3YtQY
the truth later on, the fact is she was still going to get mad. You guys817Please respect copyright.PENANA03ccQVd6pg
talked a while ago, didn't you? How was that handling things? She is 817Please respect copyright.PENANAvM5GP1UNzH
still furious and mostly at me."817Please respect copyright.PENANAb49I6ON2JD
"GD, I think Sam is 817Please respect copyright.PENANAG7er0xchV0
right," said Seungri. "Zoey is one who gets pretty emotional and even if817Please respect copyright.PENANAQmAHZIfq6O
you told her the truth much later, she was still going to get pissed 817Please respect copyright.PENANAC1XWuwSVkU
like she is now."817Please respect copyright.PENANApc71Xfcsyt
"And she would throw 817Please respect copyright.PENANAkPVspYi8Pv
stuff at us," said Mike. "Trust me, right now, Zoey isn't as mad as you 817Please respect copyright.PENANAo3mqJN4gGY
would expect her to be or else she would have done exactly that. The 817Please respect copyright.PENANA9WnAelSYxA
throwing stuff at us thing."817Please respect copyright.PENANA4oKEGFqjQC
"Look GD, if you're 817Please respect copyright.PENANAqxB2tMq2Oy
finding a way to blame me for all this, I agree with you," I said. "But 817Please respect copyright.PENANA19zaRG2EAX
now isn't the time to start blaming each other. It isn't going to work."817Please respect copyright.PENANAkbClpzy7a9
"Then what will?" G-Dragon asked. "You know pretty well that we all can't calm Zoey down because of you."817Please respect copyright.PENANAlS6iXvUCxs
"Here we go again with 817Please respect copyright.PENANAdsymmEVQc6
the blaming," I said as I raised my hands in the air in frustration. I 817Please respect copyright.PENANAgeqzsQIm5T
turned away from him and tried to think of what to say next.817Please respect copyright.PENANASIBUmM6B8y
"Do you know what?" I said as I faced him again. "I give up."817Please respect copyright.PENANABEiRESoivV
The room was silent when everyone turned to look at the me.817Please respect copyright.PENANAXWu02Msbq0
"What?" G-Dragon asked.817Please respect copyright.PENANAsknCQeUT91
"I give up," I repeated.817Please respect copyright.PENANA2eTtXiS31N
"If I really wanted to, GD, I would have told Zoey a long time ago 817Please respect copyright.PENANAPw1Z76woYv
about this even before you went to Paris but I didn't because I wasn't 817Please respect copyright.PENANAkdhRl3OSVd
too sure. The biggest mistake you made was leading her on and that gave 817Please respect copyright.PENANAmgbkPCsKVI
her hope that your relationship would work. You and I should both be 817Please respect copyright.PENANAse41NQ90vO
blamed for what's happened to Zoey. I didn't tell her the truth and 817Please respect copyright.PENANAa56mLCdjA5
that's also my biggest mistake."817Please respect copyright.PENANAY900KjNSXb
The air in the room 817Please respect copyright.PENANAVfUGjJV0yB
became stale and I bet everyone else noticed it too. No one said a word.817Please respect copyright.PENANAwEIYk0KBaY
This time it was G-Dragon and I holding the floor.817Please respect copyright.PENANAEXpTY3X0iJ
"I give up," I said as I continued to look at G-Dragon. "Blame me all you want. It isn't going to be the first time now, is it?"817Please respect copyright.PENANA579rWMROSP
The others looked at me 817Please respect copyright.PENANAVIihYz1XPg
then back at G-Dragon waiting for him to say something. But he didn't. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAz8MV0qzt9T
He continued to look at me and I knew I hit the nail on the head this 817Please respect copyright.PENANA2SZiDYlby7
time. I could tell in his eyes that he was furious.817Please respect copyright.PENANAGHWlB6FDN4
Without a word, he 817Please respect copyright.PENANANzNg1eBfwu
turned around and opened the door. Upon opening it, there stood Lee. She817Please respect copyright.PENANA90Q4kj1NPk
stepped aside for G-Dragon to pass and without a care in the world, he 817Please respect copyright.PENANAPCwRJ60Xvl
walked past her. Lee continued to look at him as he went done the hall, 817Please respect copyright.PENANAtbHBk4EDUn
then she came in.817Please respect copyright.PENANAiqTvjTogtx
"Sorry for coming in at such an awkward time," said Lee. "But I have some news that I think will be helpful."817Please respect copyright.PENANAMZVjaaZjaX
"What is it?" Daesung asked.817Please respect copyright.PENANAaPeLulAkWI
"The choreographer won't817Please respect copyright.PENANAwc7BG9EcIf
be able to come after lunch. He has some personal things to attend to, 817Please respect copyright.PENANApsef0HDyju
so, practise will resume on Monday."817Please respect copyright.PENANAOeMinISktb
"Phew! Thank goodness," said Christine.817Please respect copyright.PENANAqIZYxIxZqJ
"Well, given what's going on, you will need it," said Lee.817Please respect copyright.PENANAv0PyqVuZxd
"You haven't told our managers, have you?" Taeyang asked.817Please respect copyright.PENANAc5nHGMqF9h
"No, that will just make things worse."817Please respect copyright.PENANALtHz2c3MJ9
"Well, I'm glad," I said. "Maybe we can work things out with Zoey and G-Dragon."817Please respect copyright.PENANAfGTeueUcT5
"I'll handle GD," said TOP. "You will handle Zoey."817Please respect copyright.PENANAuIULtm63Y7
"Christine and Sam will do it. Count me out," said Mike. "I would rather talk to G-Dragon than the drama queen."817Please respect copyright.PENANAYjOBykTom7
"Hey, we might need you 817Please respect copyright.PENANAqBT85hW9ed
with, Zoey," said Christine. "Just like Collins, you also know how to 817Please respect copyright.PENANALg9yCqSZH6
put her down. You're quite good at it."817Please respect copyright.PENANAk64MuSZJlG
"Thanks for the compliment, but I'm sticking to my word."817Please respect copyright.PENANAqRsMewYiev
"Mike might make things worse," said Daniel. "Maybe it's best if he stays out of it."817Please respect copyright.PENANAT1tKkiTrkn
"Hopefully, by Monday, everything is going to be okay," said Taeyang.817Please respect copyright.PENANAb47HMDaWxP
"Hopefully," I said. I sighed. "Look guys, I'm sorry."817Please respect copyright.PENANAYtqNPOAlSk
"For what?" TOP asked.817Please respect copyright.PENANAd7v70NrIqe
"For this whole mess. I shouldn't have kept all this from you."817Please respect copyright.PENANAh4piiHTCpe
"Sam," Christine walked 817Please respect copyright.PENANA7D3MGnOO7d
up to me and placed her arm around my shoulder. "I understand why you 817Please respect copyright.PENANA39a9Gc3Df3
did it and if you ask me, it's not really your fault. You were just 817Please respect copyright.PENANASVdgTdzgqR
doing what you thought was right."817Please respect copyright.PENANAnGOOkA6Lbo
"I also agree with Christine," said Daniel. "You shouldn't beat yourself up because of this. We're in this together now."817Please respect copyright.PENANAL2hIOFBa4i
"Yes, we all are in this with you," said Daesung, giving me an encouraging smile.817Please respect copyright.PENANAUj3yVzVUod
"Then its best we go back to the hotel then," said Mike.817Please respect copyright.PENANA2vRFKhDdO7
"Let's go," said Lee.817Please respect copyright.PENANAsJK1MBzvRq
"Then we will meet on Monday," said Taeyang.817Please respect copyright.PENANAOuw9Tt36a5
"Tell me how everything goes with G-Dragon," I said.817Please respect copyright.PENANAkNCIQOBHiG
"We will," said TOP as he walked up to me. "Now, stop sulking and smile for me, everything will be alright. You'll see."817Please respect copyright.PENANAPQSi13NrZS
I only managed to smile at him and nodded my head. "Yes, I'll."817Please respect copyright.PENANAS1ODreFcRH
As the others started to817Please respect copyright.PENANAphthfhR7u0
leave the room one by one, I got the sheet of paper I was writing on, 817Please respect copyright.PENANA1xqnqPzN7Z
folded it and put it away in my purse.817Please respect copyright.PENANAZUlawSorDN
"What were you writing on that thing?" Christine asked, as her eyes were on the folded paper as I put it away.817Please respect copyright.PENANAzNElmdsP8D
"You'll know soon enough," I said, with a sad smile.817Please respect copyright.PENANA3hPF8xdWwl
"Come, we better get going," said Lee after the BigBang members had left.817Please respect copyright.PENANAzrDSrkuc9J
"Can you guys go ahead? I would like to talk to Zoey."817Please respect copyright.PENANAhdDJAPbUx3
"Don't you want us to come with you?" Christine asked.817Please respect copyright.PENANAzjvtoNeiBy
"No, I want to see if I can manage to talk to her on my own."817Please respect copyright.PENANAHZZvybTLic
Christine nodded her head and I could tell she was worried about what was going to happen. "If you say so."817Please respect copyright.PENANA5aszTneiYQ
"We will be waiting for you downstairs," said Lee.817Please respect copyright.PENANA6uESvQZfI1
We came out of the 817Please respect copyright.PENANAgzZJI8UN55
studio and the others went to use the elevator to head downstairs while I817Please respect copyright.PENANAkvoq0FExZX
used the stairs to head to the dance studio.817Please respect copyright.PENANAhtkq1tDUpz
I thought of what I was 817Please respect copyright.PENANAib4XoRA6ua
going to say as I walked down the hall. I was pretty scared and I was 817Please respect copyright.PENANANc6beEjRnO
afraid that if Zoey saw me, she would pounce on me and try to scratch my817Please respect copyright.PENANAbm2rpdrmyL
eyes out.817Please respect copyright.PENANAPeqLn2MvmQ
When I reached the room 817Please respect copyright.PENANA7BiaP1H6Kq
we had been using for practice earlier, I froze by the door. I was 817Please respect copyright.PENANAiAiJ1gtHbE
afraid of touching the door handle, thinking that I would get burnt.817Please respect copyright.PENANAT1kzTGI8oS
Maybe this was a bad 817Please respect copyright.PENANAMvTrZxmpb0
idea and going in there was like stepping into the lion's den. I wanted 817Please respect copyright.PENANAm4D27Ecb81
to turn around and bail, but my body and my conscious wasn't allowing me817Please respect copyright.PENANAdkKD9xTx79
to. I felt caught in between two worlds.817Please respect copyright.PENANABSIDgPqNLT
My body and conscious 817Please respect copyright.PENANAHFfRMZ2Cv6
won this time around. My hand was reaching for the handle and when I 817Please respect copyright.PENANAjiwfbVMBVh
held it, I turned it and slowly pushed the door open.817Please respect copyright.PENANAFCRfOOFMfn
"Are you kidding me right now?" came Zoey's voice in the room. "I can't do that. It's going to be risky."817Please respect copyright.PENANAPUyp2XPpIe
I paused before I could 817Please respect copyright.PENANAOMkWnTp5pc
fully open the door. Who was Zoey talking to? My eyes grew wide. Was it 817Please respect copyright.PENANA8xZPIeleOb
who I think it was? Derrick's brother?817Please respect copyright.PENANAiuw4h1G0p3
"Look, calm down, okay? This is clearly not the time to talk right now."817Please respect copyright.PENANAP2B9s8coyM
I continued to listen. Maybe I can find out what was going on between the two of them.817Please respect copyright.PENANAKG1PzoHtsZ
"Just so you know, I'm also not in a good mood!"817Please respect copyright.PENANAMSF9ueDJLQ
I winced at the sound of817Please respect copyright.PENANAfBEfqLHj0t
her voice. She wasn't in a good mood indeed. I still had time to get 817Please respect copyright.PENANAfMapXtdaaf
out of here, but I was rooted at the door.817Please respect copyright.PENANAc3rRnkVHqq
"Okay, fine. We will 817Please respect copyright.PENANArNiKoN664x
meet, soon. I'll tell you when. I can't meet you now. Things back here 817Please respect copyright.PENANADVgTkbySCU
just got complicated and it will be strange if I disappear like I did 817Please respect copyright.PENANAGYrliYjqgs
last time."817Please respect copyright.PENANAFrpliWTMQ9
I wanted to sigh in frustration. She didn't give out any clue as to what the two were up to. What a bummer.817Please respect copyright.PENANA5lZl2eg6SA
"I'll see you soon. Don't worry, I have it safe and sound with me and I'll deliver it to you as promised."817Please respect copyright.PENANA9teRWSULol
Now that was one thing I considered a clue. She had something with her. Could it be in our room, hidden somewhere? I hope so.817Please respect copyright.PENANAV9QaRjx5uo
I heard Zoey say bye and hang up on her phone. I heard her sigh in frustration and mutter something to herself.817Please respect copyright.PENANAEiDW8RLrx1
This was my cue. I 817Please respect copyright.PENANAJbGcruoev6
waited for a good thirty seconds till I fully opened the door. I stepped817Please respect copyright.PENANAbyltAe5RVc
into the room and Zoey looked up at me from her phone.817Please respect copyright.PENANAtngk4mr6xu
"We won't be having practise," I said as I approached her.817Please respect copyright.PENANAb7cM3Rgwrj
"Why? Did you tell our managers what's really been going on?" Zoey asked as she folded her arms.817Please respect copyright.PENANAN88ANPHtaq
"No, it's not that," I said. "You know none of us could do that."817Please respect copyright.PENANABkl2wVhGjO
"Given what you've done so far, I wouldn't be surprised."817Please respect copyright.PENANAjV6dF3g5HA
"What have I done so far?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAO2OLOLGfKF
"Lied to me and everyone else."817Please respect copyright.PENANAc7UOGbLemR
"I know I lied to you and I should have told you about G-Dragon earlier. I had tried to tell this morning but I couldn't."817Please respect copyright.PENANAPrQ2NkuikB
"You knew that G-Dragon liked you and you didn't even tell me about it."817Please respect copyright.PENANAuKOVjMZlgi
"What did you want me to817Please respect copyright.PENANARAWojsPWKW
do? I knew you liked G-Dragon but I didn't know all this between you 817Please respect copyright.PENANAzVAYy6V1v8
two was going to get serious. When you told me that you two had kissed, I817Please respect copyright.PENANAA7OPCNjAWA
wasn't too sure by then if G-Dragon even liked me."817Please respect copyright.PENANABR3F2VSHIg
"You didn't want to tell me because you wanted him to yourself."817Please respect copyright.PENANAXeb6893WFN
I sighed. "Come on, Zoey. That makes no sense. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you."817Please respect copyright.PENANAXB5yPkKyxn
"You just did."817Please respect copyright.PENANAvBOmUMnTyG
"Won't you just listen to me? Please! Why would I want G-Dragon when I really like Daesung? You think about it."817Please respect copyright.PENANA78PkHwz62J
"I don't have to, Sam. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAOqhCFDYVUX
You can't make me to. I considered you my best friend and if you really 817Please respect copyright.PENANAWq7QDnfQ2v
didn't want to hurt me like you said, you would have told me all this 817Please respect copyright.PENANAG5xPrwMIyB
before."817Please respect copyright.PENANAD2RrzOLb88
I looked down at my feet817Please respect copyright.PENANAJE921jLXqo
and I knew she was right. I had hurt her a lot and now she thought of 817Please respect copyright.PENANAuR1dbBL8oi
as me as someone who just stole her boyfriend.817Please respect copyright.PENANAPLN9E5h3dY
"Look, whether you like 817Please respect copyright.PENANAT13vnk8ZgA
G-Dragon or G-Dragon likes me or I like Daesung, all this wasn't going 817Please respect copyright.PENANA5DkoZ96zDC
to last and you know it. You remember Collins' golden rule. And as much 817Please respect copyright.PENANAAKyvSijfxg
as it's a little harsh on our part, it very much shows that creating a 817Please respect copyright.PENANAU4vWnekqIi
real love story wasn't going to be possible. I might be wrong, but you 817Please respect copyright.PENANAc9jx9Zu9d8
know that I'm right. Sooner or later, we will head back home and I for 817Please respect copyright.PENANA6MdVGgc19b
one don't really believe in long distance relationships."817Please respect copyright.PENANAH6wI0xX8fI
"But it would have worked out for G-Dragon and I," said Zoey, tapping her foot on the floor impatiently.817Please respect copyright.PENANAtwi1niZbGc
"No, it wouldn't, Zoey. Not when he likes someone else."817Please respect copyright.PENANAiDt7vhaa1c
"You, right?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAiMbMrZCVvu
I didn't want to admit it, so I kept quiet.817Please respect copyright.PENANAAV9r4MTWJA
Zoey nodded her head and817Please respect copyright.PENANATkqH8o8hvo
I could see tears in her eyes. "I see you're right on that one, Sam. 817Please respect copyright.PENANA5f3IgWymcJ
All this wasn't going to work out. And it's all thanks to you."817Please respect copyright.PENANAu94CJz7bi5
I was shaken by her last817Please respect copyright.PENANA2tCfJrlHV1
sentence. Great! Just when I thought I was finally getting to her, I 817Please respect copyright.PENANAYaFNM7F8U7
was being blamed. Again! I sighed. This cannot be happening.817Please respect copyright.PENANAwOp5uhDY79
"That's not true, Zoey," I said.817Please respect copyright.PENANAorutqjdiRd
"You made G-Dragon fall in love with you. So it's your fault, isn't it?"817Please respect copyright.PENANA78YPjiD21W
"We don't choose who we fall in love with."817Please respect copyright.PENANAzG2qF8Mkwi
Zoey didn't say a word 817Please respect copyright.PENANAjzaneDmVod
as she quickly walked past me and bumped into my shoulder as she passed 817Please respect copyright.PENANAGFp0lOlZ6j
and went out the door. That hurt and I was hugely disappointed that I 817Please respect copyright.PENANApLyMCGm418
couldn't get to Zoey to forgive me.817Please respect copyright.PENANACLmuncfHd1
But now more than ever, 817Please respect copyright.PENANAuIwhi9har3
she was in trouble and I had to help her out. I couldn't abandon her 817Please respect copyright.PENANAX3j6SkStD4
now. Dealing with Derrick's brother in a broken state she was in, might 817Please respect copyright.PENANAWVixsdaNog
just lead to something fatal. And I couldn't let that happen.817Please respect copyright.PENANATK3PCUJtKn
As I came out of the studio, I pulled out my phone from my purse and called Derrick.817Please respect copyright.PENANARB6el8rVxy
"I wasn't expecting a call from you," said Derrick when he picked up. He sounded calm and that soothed me a little.817Please respect copyright.PENANAiCBBJgEZoG
"I called because I heard Zoey talk to your brother over the phone," I said.817Please respect copyright.PENANAxtOna9dxg8
"Really? Any idea what might be going on?"817Please respect copyright.PENANA433fcero06
"No, but I think Zoey is keeping something for him and is planning on giving it to him."817Please respect copyright.PENANAeFEpTa9cjt
"When?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAAu2ntjKR98
"She didn't say. She told him she would meet with him when everything around here cools down."817Please respect copyright.PENANAAKHZUhutEZ
"Why? What happened?"817Please respect copyright.PENANAQZXMB9rVdZ
I signed as I turned 817Please respect copyright.PENANA0NBmFat9d6
round the corner to use the stairs. "She and I had some argument. I'll 817Please respect copyright.PENANAhpEsSAJfH2
tell you about it later. For now, I'll have to keep an eye on her."817Please respect copyright.PENANA71doJjYZgO
"Ya, you do that," said 817Please respect copyright.PENANAHrt1cjEfsc
Derrick. I knew he was trying to avoid asking further questions about 817Please respect copyright.PENANAR40dBjVnPD
the argument. "I'll see what I can dig up about my brother's recent 817Please respect copyright.PENANAdffQ6JvtKb
activities and see what I can find."817Please respect copyright.PENANAA3osc3kQbQ
"Okay. I'll keep in touch."817Please respect copyright.PENANA6rEj8uWxCL
"Okay, all the best."817Please respect copyright.PENANAX8VtraZDgr
"Thanks. I'll need it."817Please respect copyright.PENANAliV63HmIAQ
I cut the line and I had817Please respect copyright.PENANAQlWH9aVks0
reached the bottom of the stairs. I found myself in the lobby and I 817Please respect copyright.PENANAtPmpBg9kvT
went out to the SUV waiting outside.817Please respect copyright.PENANA08rUBPP18q
The others were already 817Please respect copyright.PENANAhBBFzwWTy3
settled inside. As I sat next to Zoey and closed the door, she turned 817Please respect copyright.PENANAywsUdT28Az
the other way to avoid my gaze. I didn't say anything as the car drove 817Please respect copyright.PENANA5rXDBIRtRj
out of the YG premises. I felt like I had already done enough on my 817Please respect copyright.PENANAf63c8BNNee
part.817Please respect copyright.PENANA8LPeIy77pf
And no one in the car said anything either till we got to the hotel.
