Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 21: At The Mall

Sunday was quiet and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDtNI1CvfT
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zJu8rEjHH
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngsqyIczlZ
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudcbMGOFdW
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY33yZNrD3

Last night, Zoey moved 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBtTRURDCz
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqiZwlxjjW
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BV4YKAThh
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOTMb8JVpS
talk to her either.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONa7vszZrY

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8i1xZMj8O

It so happened that 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu1nZQfSIN
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1dwhjwBuD
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKuF8bqNiN
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jDyGSyGtW
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirkT8OOyiI
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQWn8RtF2X

Now, I was sitting 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVPhNpr0xc
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0zIL8CpOs
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHnIp0SP6b
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh7c4sgGNd
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuoFizxiMj

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXw9R6A6VW

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7HkVnepMF

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9KYWY1THy

"You heard me," said Lee looking down on me, with an annoying look on her face. "Are you going to sit here the whole day?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEjFlmlMFC

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodQ3z4wTY3

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe2OSZdpuv

"Lee!" I whined, putting1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9IANt6tZY
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSdKuIJZ6Z
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2kl5IgrWA

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r3viQjLKd

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAT51ewMTp

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Nbyj7KbTd

"Why? I want to stay here."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4XT9qYgXZ

"I need to go and shop 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZK0728Sq3
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYCNKaBnve
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu4FOlBr5E

"But watching YouTube 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrV5LD0wUM
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyKz6ZfsIH
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iiDABoUm7

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe32Fkk60Nr

"I think Lee is right, 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjaWHDyshz
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eiVkm7g8x
out on Sundays like you do back home."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SPQkIzAZz

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EcolPyaNE

"I know you're a fan of 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhldVpz3f6R
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADVClhsws9
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Tdkm3eJb

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt5TzvD4jU

"Well, that's what 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD73jm2n7L4
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMr15npKnP
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxbWz6GoEt

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTd5XkK0VY

"That's what we are 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhOYJa9svN
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBubZ0OoA7I
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAu5I60apu
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMa7aiORRa

Daniel's right. I had to1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fYTcKtyBA
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4XMpN3OFq
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6he2C4JZHp
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNPuxC6uLH

Unlike the others, Lee 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz1H2vsTPT
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsYaHtCUwG
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3lb25OG4P
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTaA4kJVsI
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTNdu7R0lE
and Zoey together.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyUkSmLE2O

I really wanted to tell 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYaccCcoaa
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphRMKWhmOg
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFW0bmsMIA
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn1a1rviV1
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy1W1Vo7wI
When was I ever going to change?1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlkhxXDpdT

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQy9z9mcR0

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNXzUM3feQ

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAf5avlCdO

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpHmdgO4MF

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1cwzCcCvw

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCQyNDd8wX
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hajj5qIJm
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcprEcAIXTt
my room to get my shoes.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZjANgAgOb

After I wore my white 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDKZon7wLa
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOeagkgkSk
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuvMZif3Ro
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83bELwDldt
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdyab53KaC
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHo6GamAzF

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcunu0lZoMk

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr5nT25aXl

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixBr84J7YM

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH04XmODVO

"We can go, now," I told her.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45StlqrVDU

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nz3wETjPb

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8zTzkEhLx

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpV6SRfV1J

I smiled back at him. 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJocxT7aXY
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExWa8E0faG
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PyqvPMxSH
guards in the other SUV.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJJ9v4NsKj

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte10YPrp4L

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanqSXelaOf

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslEzDaD2tx

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCk8HAdyf8

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaJMb8jZOT

"To the mall," Lee answered.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4K1tkqMcQ

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkpKRe4bWn

"What's wrong with the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLojQxI3M0
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSfRTEWa7O
best plans just come out of the blue."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRqRtBOOC2

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2oakzCd4Z

"And waste the day away? No way."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IizaT9sh4

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHhOC7MiGO

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSoT4N8cIk

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinQVzKlV2j

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJLQVLISjP

"No. Zoey might have 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9U2H9sZtA
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV1A5uiitr
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMfCi39nvE
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf4ldXBYzf

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVmFCAbkH6

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6dtbR9XwW

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnQnF9TQAH

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc8y9gYFOj

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU8rSklGcC

"I don't know what to do1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJuKUQ5dSM
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00vfxb5PIU
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlp7KS9hri
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIor5nsp9p
somehow."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLznjRFmLAc

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TKyl8RH6N

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAm9xBDHfX

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaupNrD6D1

I folded my arms as I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKm7RVrZgi
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD31RvQH2oC
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARTJHUguvW
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSTbnvH4cw
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjTkSgwyLU

We soon reached the mall1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWx8cSThE6
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dD3Wx1vFp
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fJbvxNccj
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEgX82cYFe
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5DOZKWwM2
the bodyguards were around.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6X3Upfsep

Lee and I first went 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjTmqyfluH
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0K5xkGaZc
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh39pkpOw6y
a while. I was having fun.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvsKA6o6nj

And when it came to the fans, some were brave enough to go past the guards and come take photos with me and take autographs.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Uq7UuRua

Lee and I soon came out 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhGfhOqXXZ
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9s6cmPp7g
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOoRq9P79I
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVLltV2Msr
our bags because we bought way too much.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb6kYmMhmL

When we walked out of 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOtaFBOiRn
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9sonU1Dnj
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz7imfO6FN
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm7XhvumwY
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrZD4orrbx

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJcMJM88Bn

I couldn't answer Lee. I1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8h3TiCv9R
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD3zhu7Pwq
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTfCtlGYic

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKlkcczcE0

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts0eNep7h6

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg5NAs8YNG

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD7lde3g1B

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh1Ctl9RL7

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcZg5ja5JU

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzk03sUj3H

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSYShcN0k3

I looked at each and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo85ch4JhaV
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiHkhRSpZp
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA0I7Y6oL4

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4bVUIVMiy

"What?" Lee looked 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjH7q9CcOP
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNbjnSPLzv
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIRreR6eFU
panda."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfleVH1GfG

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjb1jUaesV

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiuvhPigq3

"Derrick's brother sent 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ZbT2FEPQ
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoURoeBmGRx
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVFG5bGXNS
bear."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSswuBOC7bK

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy7eO5Fme2

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9ltPIGglS

"I don't get it though."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWDtJzmiWx
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1aF7FQhpy
so concerned about that small teddy?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC7nrnAXj1

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJMyRIalGP

***1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbozO9V5pm

Zoey's P.O.V1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PPANXQMPz

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kA0uIynwB

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFqN3AOa28

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtasUk6Epn

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTYyU5oiaA

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbjh3hE844

"You moved out of the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9i1eaYcqq
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiTWE5Eh3n
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxP1d9Wioa
of alien or something."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBpCEwIFia

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf5YoOmCEK

In a quick flash, a 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydIEwkOzDd
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XMjNFUjlh
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWzREgXiIX

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrweAcR66o

"Do you want more of 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMy5TttbS5
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFig7F14UeQ
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAJAzLGaSW

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67g5l3JiLZ

"You got that right." 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtpq2DSnyR
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsG30StiOJ
ignore her like you're doing forever."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE84iSZoqn

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtblxChckr

"You know that sooner or later you will need her. And besides, she is always going to be around whether you like it or not."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY4AfGkNY2

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1W6mrBrn4

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbosl0YlOl

"It's normal for someone1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMwCciAUMx
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGU81o25Hs
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxqTHUQ4s3
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdIjqAYgXo
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisID6yj2R3
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0z40TCsSZ

I always hated such kind1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4RuYeOGD8
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xZJdmWlh5
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsWUqKaP0z
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdMCqQDpwO
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV8eikdsk1
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2exFbWLlc
nothing.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxEZJ4bCtf

I've never told anyone 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjx6CaXcvD
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yEHcbQPzi
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV79w6VEU2
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB3OEcQGG1
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg27gzWsBr
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUi7Ql5IzY
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg29aouDEZS

I am Yin and she is 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUz0mWdR7x
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmBN2C4GlN
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHmL8tR6wx
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIiHKmycVo
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp19YX5tPs

And now when I needed 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXCIdFBTe6
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZcOcB1Bqk
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNPc9hq311
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV676T0TVtP
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XwVdTg4v8
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Syio3zTw

It all begun when I went1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZOdr9KSod
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucRYvQoP0V
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBCjVFmN7G
this mess.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd6YgVLE9P

We were having so much 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmvlsjeSLT
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrui7lpFKNY
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfObqEX8MhD
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlBkpOF5eD
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UwzXWDgst
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIg8NMB1nv
things did go wrong.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBKD1YX38v

As we were watching the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPfWVGk2qN
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOTOUXcuHE
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiM7WK763x
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmIHwPz5d1

When I looked at him, he1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwQUup2qWc
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlmodi7Fc7
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG29X0KkrY
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jV6ZYUJ2y
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXTTFX7vlj
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25qhXD5DaT

After the show when 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDZDa2s0ab
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Jz5NCZRM
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCOpewSRyF
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxB2GmStpA
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9dZ3kSboc
take a few minutes.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NOm4lovnp

I didn't find anything 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6WfGCmasm
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbBlSz4tAG
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmL9JDNa32
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkXf9alslm
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xMEMoW0lw
too much.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHyduuy4yS

Jehan led the way out 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWYVIxeGrR
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez1kMdjOqz
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52vULbz48Y
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZNjjiD24p
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOvsY7bCvA
that I felt a little safe.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknEhpsTVvA

The two of us soon found1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVzQ62O9U3
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVSC1dNWFH
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHPZ41BYMz
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewBhxBqx7I
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AcGVwJHLZ
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjMU2ILEA0
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgqSH91WJB
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVes1DJDYwr
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPZZ3rRfcM
menacing.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Er06D8Ed8

He gave me something for1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc5G1N01Rs
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ji7suHdca
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybOpGzHShi
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09pWIXtYPi
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JxabuoA9a
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9htp00Xyun
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZHtWIUuQX

Whatever he sent me that1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QZ0MELf8m
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDu0XdgYDd
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLTIg3K4bw
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTAqxW9hex
happened yesterday.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOs6NNToCk

I had never been in this1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijbWb8SYWJ
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfejdYN2N9
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOiQklQ5z6
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV7EzzjZiK
crying out loud. I had to do something.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYjSqwTjlb

My phone rang bringing 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ISP0y90L0
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZh2NIBdGU
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy7bELplf6
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl0pq7n5vR

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNKoVWkAYJ

"I...uh, ya, I will," I said as I picked up the phone and answered the call. I could already feel myself starting to sweat.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgrV4VOa46

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oHykiyyUh

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30GkgrcFNY

I would have told him to1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyRJ1FfUph
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFlAlw6XV7
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqL6WRbGz2

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv76TKq1Nss

"Looks like you aren't 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDznAFYhuU
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk30SpDx42C
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEF6OSSyWZ

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQvhJ7lfM1

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRV7hUO1MA

"Just get to the point, 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZEZoTCtfe
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKGYcGI4fY
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iw9Dr2gf9

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPae7HI1bCi

"Today? Are you serious?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPooCGjXrz

"You know that I am. We meet today."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJIXrKJkVT

"But where?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGAmptc0GF

"At the mall."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCwEoQFj8s

For a moment I almost 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSAHSmEwNj
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzLykG6HrA
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajTCzeojXU
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0sRLkHXUj
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ9Y2hbejf

"What's so funny?" Jehan1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiE9Ih5wvj
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhErWY2CVD
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdcfhyEJbI
myself.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedUBwbOyG9

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsXsH0waIq

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOyjktppKf

If he thought saying 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4WzKzF27C
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jx1M7gqN6
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpfw6qkRQn

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSe8w3fbpE

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVZr6duqDr

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRaHN5ldwd

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGup5K7MuVq

"Ya, sure."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9rYa77FWk

Jehan didn't say 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURwc7D54H7
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hjRY3qVQt
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqr4lQm8D2
Typical.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaSip17f4a

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdxDBJ3mqY

"Oh, it was Seungri," I lied. "He wanted to see if I was free right now so that the two of us could hang out."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiJIsTF7ed

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsCJWj9Bzk

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ66Pq8GUHO

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM8mhYybWW

"Why? You think I would?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2cEnT631G

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlriu2UWMDt

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8voj7HhyWX

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVSVFWJ3Jq

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnRp0evsPS

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ha5wlI3RN

"That one. Where is it?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneoxwyTGMU

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqFpUIr5UB

"I just want to ask if it's still around. That's all. I hadn't seen it ever since we went bowling that other day."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdKlTnf3c8

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY6wvW3BgQ

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyDirqJCNe

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesce5k0xBV

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6GiNqvkMj

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCe5EZtb1V

I quietly went over to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWAwB6q61B
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yZsiKJDk0
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA9efezlec
soon.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw02lC8sKr

I came to the drawer 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU9BQcClLv
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz64eFyNy7
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6YEKyhlRn

I looked at her bed and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WNERxlmbu
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40IhkQPwuf
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDICV2ZQG0p

"There you are," I said softly as I took the teddy. "I think it's now time for you to leave once and for all."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tdNaYCLGr

I heard the tap in the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaKxdO8as5
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJx00rqbkr
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeoLIVzTj1
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuei5iGA3eQ
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTeksw2Nk9

***1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtcQPfOkGx

Sam's P.O.V1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOTgoHzxYW

"Do you really think 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9UAn8gE7O
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q4EcIvw0C
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNGdE5R6IF

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezFduchB28

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HqSvE0FhX

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AVnJKxuSx

"I hope it's not drugs."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFElcCrNMfs

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY0MXIbSzz

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrb26J0dxS

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESXBPNMRq8

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf3Figb5oM

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgnw4xYamw

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExiNk2K3R7

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JR3SN0ZrN

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyMrJFhUwv

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8bTGnV7mv

"Zoey."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQRfpT1M4H

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW1C2GeIUs
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rFFQAFe4u
they couldn't because of our little fight."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmnIGSaOO9

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgKfeElRVL
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAoF8fjSh6
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR8cI66M4r

I raised an eyebrow at 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBXjvwDQrD
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rrlrUHpUa
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWQqLyyWe9

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvEQvwKLfk
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02rdr5K0Y7
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xc08njTv7
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg04OsQP4z3

"About what?" Lee asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKKHQcflVo

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcJDUpl2CI

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXovweI9eY

"But today might be the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sOGjV31OG
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZqyLX8FNh
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VgUK9RppN

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyioT1dp5K

My heart rate quickened 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBWTvGWPaO
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOZe9v1KVq
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv1Em0KMpH

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMFCOA501O

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RXiOjKcoU

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguhnnquqcO

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryanN6Qhk9

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAABOsAfKVf

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLCpLc49xE

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoVSIjZ0M8

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywVTGkOrGc

"Alright, thanks, 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnv58vWchK
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk6e3jy1Gj
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkZRRrmth0
Seungri."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunhDVGEcPd

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4bheXmPck

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0dsHdEEdR

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwdOiQb0yf

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvT6hreqQQ

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBYm7adK9x

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hh5By1Wih

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwjYL0JmLO

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagPzVeLV66

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmAC4hyNVR

"Yes, I am." I could 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBpHiExpJu
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihidweSnHY
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErOqmAK2Sq
perhaps?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEJWFAqGh3

I rolled my eyes and as 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEr7ns1dIS
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgZvcwSVBv
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuBDYpr6rs
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJp4T320QG

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzRPqP2923

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKiK9kycdS

I bit my lower lip and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpAt4mUHlF
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4hjXoGS7L
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIaSkVY99K

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf6jrXAUXb

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaXdBWBUUN

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvnaBiVkvQ

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku0tKWKxgI

"Bye."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QJJlnSghV

"Bye, my little kitty."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTnHdgtDNJ

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIvqZVHZ4D

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCFsdCD5vo

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEDhH4pfTt

"Nope. And he isn't 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2L8dVcwAO
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpcHrbeH48
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPwzCjHYdD

"Oh." Lee took her smoothie and sucked on the straw. "Umm, what are we going to do now? We have to know where Zoey is."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ116jUoBfES

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5km1qwURZv

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwFxjDcsZz

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiv8LB8rtN

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCMQfvcS0N

"Tell me about it." I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRMpO7d66I
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE8PKwaxw2
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKZvRiGkhA

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkVIDUNzCn

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vZHyizdAg

After we were done with 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7sFZEgak1
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HYdalrRuK
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJbMcrawec

As soon as we walked out1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2toafCTBE6
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKFgfX2W7u
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjTnlv6ido
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qdql87xWg
looking black suit stepped out.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrGJKxf5mf

Time seemed to have 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdT9n2pJ1V
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI5b10CvNI
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQvTY4a3z9
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyq5JRrmCn
something familiar about him.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6aVsoxh1S

Just as I was about to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x0uESnIgL
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvZwkKoR34
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyLJEICTMe

I almost tripped and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnm0v3MsLK
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgkOS7MOvL
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1fx0g54LC
me from falling.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKaFRnj8nG

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f74qCUvkT

I didn't say a word as I1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVS3MCbNXF
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gS00y78lY
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4IswlKXiu

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeWOAbJMgG

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJxZILzywR

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2QgIB2pVx

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7UhDQvyyS

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZMgj2k9la

Narrator's P.O.V1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y5DKd26CE

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmydNgqjvj

"Hey guys, am here," 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfShakewPd
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrWvehwnHS
look downcast as though someone's just died."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZJFxRvLFq

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzTp913Cz3

"This is getting real 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokthCwghCI
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z5vhrJJzY
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRYpKglXeU
her or with anyone of you."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOW4FFZnZY

"No, I think now is the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGIxqgEGdL
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65TfS1T84c
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm6hUn0hoF

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9m6XsyoEb

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3im61nro3

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESdnWYSxxx

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaamZQIq9R

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrp6btY3DV

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1olLMOjVZ

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5KJyZulvY

The others rolled their 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5q9iGVOIx
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qUHnCkZt1
around and now wasn't the time for it.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZhzYZtoYr

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzEGMe66Kp

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsC8plLmFb

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cjIlkfigw

"Well, maybe," said 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CxydkXMTe
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5uFFtVNwD
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJrNqTWM1f
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXGjcMdjkV

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXzH3oVxNc

"When I saw Daesung and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayhHfvdJDj
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4VEegb2D2
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hl4p2yqXE

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVqUII8U3P

G-Dragon didn't answer 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM4G4z0r3A
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl0g8kR8mA
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ0wAqQuZG

"Oh, I get it now," said Seungri, as he looked up at the ceiling. "But I see no reason why Sam could be in the wrong here."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGOsc9RwFP

"What do you mean?" 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHLTpQmxu0
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nJPR5CxrB
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90qCb5wW8X

"She was just doing that1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFHoh9dwGM
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq05VX7eBj7
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDPotZfQqg
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6mIZ3qENs
be together."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSbzxBSC61

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanmEozUE3x

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGEY66mzeN

All the four BigBang 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtnvNgvuxj
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRal2v128ha
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx42mIMToX
heard him come in.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EqoOFl69a

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1FSFO1L6y

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHi5Hcwwul

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug1U5vz3Pi

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRueZM3Gxq

"I'm not going to stay 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmAnkzNoFE
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEC5P1xFQq
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvapS0xS0AM

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDBmRLRNFP

"No, I don't."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrPUfvVrfP

Before G-Dragon could 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2yQTMcEx5
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SRkgHcGmI
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCHJn5GGru

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeATbtrU6Pl

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UjzpWdi1K

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QxHZMZpIk

G-Dragon folded his arms1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd7AIIFQsz
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd272sosuhr
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7IHVMLy5p
stared at the ceiling.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k7ciYbpk4

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BQLaLXthv

Daesung came into the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQSeORLbiX
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gu8eKWUA1
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS4YHuY8Ng

"Look, I know you're 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlR5uDLPFs
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV3IXx7zWI
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJywZF063r2
never told me anything either."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViJaPOuCTN

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf26VcKDfl

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs88vRwEMXW

"Why?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChRkHIFQ2z

"She just felt like it 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3cYTbOekZ
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx09HSSZzG
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAObBcVoAH
long distance relationships will ever work out."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx35FitP7x4

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSiufCvUXK

"Because I know I'll 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1WdQXIh1V
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jnmOAnp39
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlpRg4CLCi
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqwHyMb3OA
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyMUfuoStI
want to hurt anyone either.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlee9pJwSDX

"Maybe that's why she 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxFb0YI3Ev
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZJ579jJBD
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqfQLKOZek
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd32dYdmc2H

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkV4A5HOIS

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKuBZEcsCr

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5vZn59OoW

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQVxIKv0Pt

"I know."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREI9cLWlsl

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QeMXBlhMO

"I'll think about it."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlbjmJYLqt

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzz44WI543
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyc2NIrswR
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIpmq4qgAR
the mall."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLZE27O5G1

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzzfF8e4ol

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7amKEWm3vt

"Ya," said Seungri, 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwqrcusY2k
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7UzFcjzLL
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡworUBtPg2i

"No way! I'm not going to the mall," said G-Dragon. "What am I going to say? I need more time to think about it."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWolyiaU4hS

"There is no time to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDbG1PZyeh
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxDB6AIvNJ
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcANSInOIU7

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGq5RLQBZk

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HDKNjCrie

"We're your best 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoVvzWp2hK
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp0vjU6z9x
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lXR7yD5Vx

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkScQAnLTE

Zoey's P.O.V1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkmvx9hCHp

I came out of the black 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIo4DeDYAk
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0ibesak5v
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvId9PEZz95
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs4tKE4BFI
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQy0bIhX62
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiHZxmsvlz
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnPtgWMPOv
by my fans.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2JEbBnuGU

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyWLua5y30

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsuLnV6HXy

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRigR9z9Emy

"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9lg2wc1vn

"Okay."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwKTmHVDBO

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxjbWLEcz2

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ALT5P3jWV

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOxgiBmruN

"Well, I'm glad you 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCwmKuYolE
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa1TEPWk32
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ0ucLWZWM
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuNI9bIvzQ
lot smarter than you think."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Ul7polxn

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCby8gypyOq

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FhxW7xydg
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMHRW50VDo
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NtdyYcmoS

When I went into the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUoOk1oxEH
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1VkJdJRBs
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvkqSNDyew

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2hLzf3ZX2

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwo9EYPSiX

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcW21NoFYk

I shivered. Despite his 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJx63lndsE
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hMAc1qPYG
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BbnDrDu3y
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhxHytr9Br
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg30x0IwUXA

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRIJMsbXhV

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziijN2QYiw

"Why do you need to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9cVUv5SqN
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0YEfahOKe
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE4FJS2sEU

"Well, I need to know 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc0y8QrL4A
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHZsrcOMYd
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzy2YhgAQL

"And tell me, why should1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwumj0Qhzc
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVAau5KVho
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA7oIwxIb3
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTkpTFStld
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdk2cVP8ii

"I...eh..." I looked him1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN1zUocOFZ
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0tieQ50CQ
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGzTL9pw0g
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tr7bHSxLR
the kind who would send such a thing."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxJrdDbZMC

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYPYd2Bvh0
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU72NdB1X4
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi7kASrblY

"I don't know." I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwLmNOPXbS
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3rSae7uSE
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBZntvbQNw
up to?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaHC81Pcp7

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6ysD9r7vC

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoihRIHzAyS

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYqbG1Y6mr

"What's the matter with that?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNA3UohEsE

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2OAXgCeMb

"Don't test my patience,1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYIiTOgoIl
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHEVOQnLc0
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIlqVaPJHS
think you deserve to you know."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAXTKIMtaR

"Well, yes, I do."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHgedoAsCs

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIkuZDNWLq

***1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUopS9L1ZL

Sam's P.O.V1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKS384Q4Qm

I could see Zoey from 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLvqedPAqv
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2U1aPdfZ1
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TOHFei4uK
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uYGAiX7HV
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRymbY0hZE6

I was entirely grateful 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHxfrNFIEX
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnTYACMD4a
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFAm7G5n8a
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZzTWpOsRT
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1jYtvHJ16
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPyd1OxVDk
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbxy2VK7Sk

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgO6K1MWoO

"Believe me, he is," I said as I looked at a nice beige top on a hanger and then took a brief glance out the window.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwHUAxsz20

"But how did you know 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv33nRYSAQN
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M7cDG7hcw
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9dJ2AcXJo

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa89erMUBSV

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlLOgSy35x

"Well, ya," I said as I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO73WrhEkc
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuI7f8i5eN
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHMCv7chJT
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVDcKaEzOz

Lee turned to the window1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8TZWcgOdC
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkIZSPwFU6
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN291S9sqRU

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnnFCoFHYF

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhQZedIMOf

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5dzx71QEC

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rZSpJotZ8

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb1G2AwEz2

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsAhJCXSmy

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdPWyDLbLb

We made sure to keep a 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8lPEUSsOG
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2ZMYFvPiI
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79KZQxdoTT
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3uYpWOyLX
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpnhpKxb5m

They went down the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrgDEiqbmh
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sctDO7o6Z
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjheWFl61eO
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuP4Ul92lG

They were led by a 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZOoYg1Ehl
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6cnnQosYu
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6INl0Ksu1w
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU5bCuBcnz
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15ZDk7DXz9
restaurant.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFFXtQVs0J

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1dPQEudbh

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxfemrQOiW

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMHxC47fej

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMf5eRFfn6

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqhHs9oLhN

"Me neither. But what to1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyAwouUpyX
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8PSoJDE3k
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDQUq6tNyx

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x16iwt9yt

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L2UyiMLhM

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51U8jUlJK3

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbLkQyTGJD

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbJUzMKOhI

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOioBtcFxkP

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVAROcpmtW

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsea4fmvSOr

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO35HxETIH

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HiInxft7G

"Don't worry. Seungri 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjbSYq7OEb
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtC6kvqaZB
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oaeknUFQr
and she will know something fishy is going on."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWwn16Oljf

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJH4IuoOS0

"I hope so too."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4kgM7eh0W

***1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCiYq0DPL0

Zoey's P.O.V1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q18QcGIsw

I looked at the menu and1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hc0mluC2H
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzWQHGAcfO
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pnlNbFYGN
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWqPtSR9BG
looked up at me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszWmMOGDf0

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LSawG2f0D

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOklOaGeGGz

"Why?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXpg8MNUhE

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEOC9GyFRN

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Klz9T9Hil

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa41kPSrz81

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3GJUEi080

"What?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyQ3PIugMr

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFrDLBYSid

"I'll try not to next 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoUsRqmEgV
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVbP6oBbYH
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ENV0ucGGH

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidZbEkj0S8

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyty2BeGkj1

"Not tell anyone."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefeTjezgIC

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcvILJhuB0

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rJf4cgKN4

"I smuggle diamonds."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UWzKlTuh9

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOIXmyWXgc

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIYkCfnmoO

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr5Rk5DjKc

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK1Rm2X0bc

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKzm3eB57n

The waiter came with our1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RssfHorl1
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ipcUq2Hv
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OB4YUYLvH

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopmkmWBvv7

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF9IoNGS0c

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Aw59GW7Tj

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyXQKbRLbN

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEzZIdoCFm

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WFi3aEOki

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm08e4ljKr

"Is that why you're so rich?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JDedXdnw1

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S1deJo8Y4

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJtdVsnt0p

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTILYlLlp7J

I gulped. He was giving 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCLbAXKo6D
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UpKsYVIoC

I was waiting by the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6gdJSZkWM
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyaEIgwqBk
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYFj35j2Gz
car? What was he doing here?1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtaZalMs8H

Seungri came out of the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm09OiEiW6
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw9TVD7emf
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRll6knrrHQ
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRGSQ1n96q
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCl9FeXgeM
what I was expecting.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy3m03g9cc

I trembled. What am I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtLcRtf3pz
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNVc3DUKu1
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VOiLjBqEm
give Mr Teddy away.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XJ0SuOJms

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q1MqYP8aU

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsTzStOO35

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel5UpF6dwj

"I, no....I," I didn't 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1RCOpHUeZ
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjr3OvDU2i
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH4txmIjI1

"I was only expecting 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQqcxnReEl
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBCSJavoHU
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspKkrvSg1B
seeing the two of them together.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnmUm5sEqJ

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1aSLu0PvN

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNILEqgWXxh

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT2OjuGPd5

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡninZHFG3MM

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4MNm8LCwD

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnGWHAcm30

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsasGjpL3U

"Come with me," I said 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWouwhphsW
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RVSuSkrYD
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AtIeSxYvJ
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVRf4UpI3Q

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUqzxKAAS0

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbV2qRYzZX

"Hi, guys. You're 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkdo3ZNXlu
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavE6XadLrz
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsjTIELEYa

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWmw2N4nmS

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnX6v9fCL3

I could feel Lee's eyes on me and I could tell she was scared of telling them the truth. So, I had to do the talking.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2cBj7BxfA

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB7VvJTWfM

The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEHoBbgegb

"Well, if you look into 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy9twhYO6j
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRlCpBSh6L
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ofEqijKum

The five all turned to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG1wSVszwM
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XYg1b0sRT
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEay10w1rD
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEM6PHK0QH

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJKGGvImMG

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHID462hyV

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXnihbUQXS

"Yes, I do," said G-Dragon looking through the glass window. "We met him at the fashion show. I'm surprised why he is here."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnfHe0N500

"We were also wondering 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo9qBHKRC4
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGQ2jsOnDr
them, but decided that I would rather not."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmDc3UOjvU

"Why?" Daesung asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V0V5fecYP

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sMVhsYA7M
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIXemNJvv9
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6TQAMy09t
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z8h4l7zCB

"Aww, so sweet of you to think I could solve that out for you, my little kitty," said Seungri with a smile on his face.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5QPjzU0u2

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq2KmDqGlM
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A1nGDWxDC
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WPSMau0yR

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLrNY6xxpc

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6wwJHddjA

Everyone turned to look 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZlbS7EHuC
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp27cPfdUV
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67tveqFoqG
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y4p2FTlz0

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5znHQQXrG

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA0smLCcNL

"Here you're now 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eyYG8pb1g
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqfYa7Zzao
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWzLQOBG5P

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcVH48atDt

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUQ4ZdQkLQ
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0AhIjPxVD
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh21eD6G8wN
something, quick.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCwgtvKKvb

"Okay, fine, we will 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2d8yJcdRX
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzOif3I8jp
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhORBsV45nN

Yes. Finally. I thought 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH49mc8G1i
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpcdeqTECP
everything was going to be delayed.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXKCN11NsY

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8vJaGWCVP

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnr0MzLHWR

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKuBjY8mGf

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL00EHv3xzV

As much as I wanted to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlbOY5jZav
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafqv2F0IYW
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI9EDLzQQx

***1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA0TfaogXX

Zoey's P.O.V1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdgxAeagRy

As much as I tried to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpq9Y612qI
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc3ekT6Hw9
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6GP4wQc4Y
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziSnsL2gFY
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkeANizTGJ

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WIBiCkOBe

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZqEDTHhMb

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMYXCL3vO0

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbX2C6246E

"Looks like you're getting all worked up for nothing, Zoey." Jehan got a napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4DJAxI5Dh

"What do you want me to 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3E4Lqm9RA
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qelmPkltx
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwjlw2PUeC
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ4PHFsQCN

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxpazPMTO8

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SNGdUjSQY

Jehan shook his head and1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4aKIs4LU8
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC72BsT96gZ
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu6wLh2biS
annoying."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeigxHfhtH3

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgS7juYMGY

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSqSReKbiF

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWr3uRyBd4

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXKPeh2GRv

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQhw7KUnyo

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEJgKEoNSC

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ27DLqtSih

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbwqKrhIni

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAGjLlbovZ

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3POeI4z3X

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhSZgslIi1

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcSppxbifS

"Yes, for real."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40LwnS2KEu

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSkACnOCal

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MG6SdSmfu
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5mtRPj7PJ
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV2t7OlPuc

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NY97XvCi1

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8OTRHO5xd

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmROWg9QBlJ

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6raYTVMCe

I took a deep breath. This was it. Once I give him the teddy, it will all be over and I can finally be in peace.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDjFvRDlQx

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAGm2ES2h4

"Zoey, hey!"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMzdMtll0Z

Seungri? I quickly 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeXVMQcnJV
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vPPyLr2qd
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg742EoG7v
here?1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwsLXmJCsF

They came over to our 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKDrRBwqbq
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEqVRYELDt
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQTrYQEmRv
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU46umBjK5i
to do now?1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2mkduwtO9

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNqgyHXOL9

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGryBOF27dL

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtkyQM5pPg

"Jehan."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWqJ0UuLed

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH7cOtkRwu

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmzaDw681K

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10cXuhAQxk

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBjqQ3EHKR

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZWjiLYn0R

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZiV4S2LQQ

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgowXnzh4P

I almost spit out the 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi4rzCOdCy
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37X9Xgpf78
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbC0r2wp5S
to water.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJlpIbKE5D

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTywFShh8MP

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3XpkJ5ylA

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAqbMeQw0P

Jehan looked at me and I1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUDlraYWP8
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq78BeSjdo2
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvboqpAkLEc

"May I ask what you're 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcdwK90ayl
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vsmr5kCjZ
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFADvC5Gh9

"Oh, we just came here 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Bb5G7KZf
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dHa7ZRneU
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CElahNlpT

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLrkk9b3QT

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0SkJK3Wt1

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eF7fD2lqe

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1riHmd3SN

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp0sXSwT5G

"Yes, we will," said 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJgBOhHdXu
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw7wAeuXPI
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnOfW4OYMS

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKyqQg0ZZo

"You too," said Seungri.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87KI3RLK5M

Jehan gave a small smile1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOad02jUXZ
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW9Z51dqGd
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52F0SVYUbU
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBSx4bDB5k

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKL7YHQAlb

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtJ4qEQ0I3

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77m9aOToP1

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvTjMiQ53p

I wondered how I was 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAhzVgdnpx
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXZrAdmmMR
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqHRUfos0y
head until I give the teddy bear away.1147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkls0xzI4kC

This was just great!
