Sunday was quiet and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WMFrkiOyF
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BeiPjSAZv
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcER8ZS5VSb
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWihfuvcEv
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HsGXxbPV0
Last night, Zoey moved 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX1ujQeOwK
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SnDUE2qdm
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLmmtypKSj
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxehNw1Ft5z
talk to her either.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQulppizloH
And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYenV7VtYIm
It so happened that 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYgEyXKJad
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpg7WYnDam
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuPWROwU7A
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrmugBaVNF
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslkr5QzXUO
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJsl5Ks2pQ
Now, I was sitting 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbJnc9QXFR
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7pckIZVWp
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuHTOk0KiH
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5MUqGA1MZ
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxLxfIVclA
I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPr7NIU82m
"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywhenRXsy9
"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1EAGqfEiQ
"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?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFZLObqJ9O
"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdyzUO7w5W
"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHjFPyrBdQ
"Lee!" I whined, putting973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvZ22z3nn7
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwArhbBiSpl
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX5uGLNFLP
"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCg6GONGVt
"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19zvowI7tf
"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xsq2kVkGD
"Why? I want to stay here."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQn29oAWY
"I need to go and shop 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhZXSSFsTa
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS6t3aFJXn
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYDfhxW3Wx
"But watching YouTube 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYF3mlm90J
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWjlPZtq9K
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV2ccT9d97
Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UFvIuII6n
"I think Lee is right, 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3w5gbqIFs
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kf4plebVt
out on Sundays like you do back home."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOENtIz9sz
"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCMcdM3gdz
"I know you're a fan of 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXtDyyRupb
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXNowa6dl9
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC5OuUwXcq
"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhthUZecWVH
"Well, that's what 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIG5wTtzZh
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuXTc5plBT
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrT2kBZV8k
"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfThNlA6Er
"That's what we are 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoGghZyPrg
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMBxCwhzpd
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbP2qE7MoN
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXCFvPPybo
Daniel's right. I had to973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0EaDMZYAU
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKiufvQN9U
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqiZJhExB3
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwRxUAJzci
Unlike the others, Lee 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzMoYV3KnT
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT9lWvZC2T
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSW9aV3d2j
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m8umZVvRA
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsOZSON6yy
and Zoey together.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXK55duFCk
I really wanted to tell 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS2Rjnx8dB
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZecb2YOv3
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4q4RQzOS1
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGK8hnPIM6
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JRLStWKPd
When was I ever going to change?973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftpHMv7NCs
"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSVCwSzjK4
"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyJBYdee1G
"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyBezLeETp
"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP9UEYbQSg
"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwhyuz3uox
Lee, Mike and Daniel 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62aySRMWiY
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGeKlYKtCk
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY08IEIDiPq
my room to get my shoes.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9P3e5ZCse
After I wore my white 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKySLo0ou70
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmejRGTJ6zh
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2QZvqeBzA
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtj8QTItJ0
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2GjGiAkQX
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9a4JKPMeB
"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveptlc8nXE
"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOz6qzvITa
I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9bR9DpwwM
I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP64vE2GXAf
"We can go, now," I told her.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6aA7SFzJV
"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98oTsQf05J
"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA99LTZHjFW
"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsscaLDq0e
I smiled back at him. 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCozS8JVmRH
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0LLAtVcPo
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO3v7pRl9G
guards in the other SUV.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJzJW7MLON
"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWysm3mApIx
"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17O0IM34ue
"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweqqnXHWJ2
The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv98p14l9WC
"So, where are we going?" I asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Kyyhrv77
"To the mall," Lee answered.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFefquPDKn
"How will the mall help me figure things out?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJiU3WD2pp
"What's wrong with the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvwOyuvUG5
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PW5QL5KSV
best plans just come out of the blue."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArzYvVNKLZ
"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkImLQ0Sv4a
"And waste the day away? No way."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvTSrOuCwy
"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvdOyNy7mw
"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JddY1OKkC
"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWujgpIyAS
"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGXmFEc7WT
"No. Zoey might have 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37KQ3et8a0
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksT7RdWih9
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS4o2W0Zae
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu22MEIyaAJ
"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5jOfuKtBC
"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwmzITs4pT
"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFnX9UDUFI
"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM5wzaQiDd
Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkoLwBtiDq
"I don't know what to do973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiiQj9luV7
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee63ajXkge
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJY9g4sfng
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDujDfk2t4h
somehow."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdgl9i4dyp
"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbECej8beD
"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDcRwGCxyH
"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt5jY12P69
I folded my arms as I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tjOW73XSv
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuIDfC9wKp
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Il9At40Ev
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGr0Qz21jX
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m7Xcpc3Jb
We soon reached the mall973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpGAvNSO17
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvu6fT0yYR
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXXgBtBCx4
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZboUUr8554
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnZf4hs3P1
the bodyguards were around.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MK9XDWDrD
Lee and I first went 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t543jhInl
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTRkeHreqL
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhHWqRwnv1
a while. I was having fun.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6NGtqAc04
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.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45NcqUMvVI
Lee and I soon came out 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4azyZ0SQc
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwAwPuEAJw
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3SCEVyvqR
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0IWSKQGnP
our bags because we bought way too much.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBFJ1TxOs3
When we walked out of 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2agsUjE1f
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH9h7WuDPQ
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRlk3Sq51H
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm44KuzzQl
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxMv4QRE2Y
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKJLv17Wyx
I couldn't answer Lee. I973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfXu9NDPKN
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6JD3XNejE
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEGz3uiPxY
"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO2BbVfR5J
"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eWAdxpfLL
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8Osxljfjy
"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnleizdMdXl
"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvQyt2jXrH
"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwJB5Eo0kQ
"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGvahnWGkU
"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5h4vnZ7Db
I looked at each and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlITGUpyRl
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8579Sc4Ws
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfBffjXmbd
"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KWZy6trHD
"What?" Lee looked 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcROSTogVU
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jj8UYtnhO
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEimIZ6Fdmb
panda."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNGUTjHeE3
"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUy2GMeFzz
"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltyhEnqCdn
"Derrick's brother sent 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zOgNzW4ZL
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp6cZ9fYuW
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyAfyWmknI
bear."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd0UxVl225
"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6FQrbI7eo
"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP9S5c3i6l
"I don't get it though."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLacpG15LUV
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68AHjMCejT
so concerned about that small teddy?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T8C7LFLIV
"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtZDe0uHpZ
***973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBquBoqWtl6
Zoey's P.O.V973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I3nQiRyRR
"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiafrVlUsi
"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGyXFEOQ2t
"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62WCld1VVo
"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDSzBamEYb
"How am I treating her unfairly?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIjXA5NYtZ
"You moved out of the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkUTCkWegN
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiKuhMtXOo
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa1sfGmuCJ
of alien or something."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G4uesdjoa
I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHPNbM22xC
In a quick flash, a 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkXLs4zyZz
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu3gsMR9Lp
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgUOyULCkM
"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVJG0ceDG7
"Do you want more of 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhvYa48hiP
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnZoyMFPfL
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9HbkPozDq
"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03P8vXbuoL
"You got that right." 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteXJN16Lt5
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FeUPvyVbn
ignore her like you're doing forever."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiTLnciJgr
"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXFEplspZx
"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."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzVeP8TxAX
"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSjSZWjHgY
Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFsP3lrY0z
"It's normal for someone973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ889kwXxajw
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgmo4XV5hu
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM8Dk5Y3EL
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe71RcvzN3k
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPLySr63nA
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKkRdDDK8s
I always hated such kind973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIYF2tpIig
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp8R7s3qJi
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwCJf8fLHG
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAnzir8iZj
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr341RBmfEr
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB0OjRlPfX
nothing.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltNiiDYC5W
I've never told anyone 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRwh96F9XP
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgnwJNepda
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiPbsmy0Wi
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxzbrRoLwy
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCNnTZqOh4
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNNYM8cUxE
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidt8TjUyQ1
I am Yin and she is 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MPuxZERPY
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxdyDz0Zxu
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgicEeR5yVn
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JlxniYhfN
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2ztlLTBGo
And now when I needed 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6cOHr6xBc
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB96OxbJsV
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0IUbVt6RH
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz08qSXRMII
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYZEC3GoCw
serious situation with a very dangerous person.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZEwualn0T
It all begun when I went973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6diNxZUHdJ
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9urIDl80H
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RlRabx3jT
this mess.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqO0lIeYG7
We were having so much 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeti6FShff
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF4VheQbcp
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwBw0DEyJf
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoHBgGQGE9
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnF4Lg8vxl
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolY3H9yWOR
things did go wrong.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWZXawfGH8
As we were watching the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWt4iDWKV6
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AqX3PJK0h
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92dkrcnvdY
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfn4xd2hXa
When I looked at him, he973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tPUWzEAVc
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmypuiEwGbb
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAoOrofQC2
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8j3tCKT36
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR4RwrBlSq
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QhxmY5LuW
After the show when 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXldL1MVe9
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg0KOMourf
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSDNBR7Rdq
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkfPb7pyUd
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWBlW6cyuG
take a few minutes.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUI9IZK29f
I didn't find anything 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPBG3jRs3G
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS90FyskN02
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWCuTwn0P6
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnePQgX0bf
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQXeFzLKtI
too much.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL1dBTRj9y
Jehan led the way out 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrjCPTR7vf
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZov7QlPWr
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIQxQOpgvi
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvFa6twMgU
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cLBY6lUS1
that I felt a little safe.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoz03O0aV8
The two of us soon found973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz8EShuGEr
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6JhaouyrV
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiA9Wo2nhI
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOq41VHoVo
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSzKpMMkAj
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tPqWljv5O
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKKhNh3vAc
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR7IRpo4xK
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrIMCEJ5mN
menacing.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nWquJLjEf
He gave me something for973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0DQWmBpHG
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskEffZ1Skk
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lrG3rOFW0
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAEkgnCUAl
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqoaReOoEf
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTShwAJhHg
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDJUPn1ciR
Whatever he sent me that973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxalaZZE60l
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInejdrdPDw
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjpQPVk1Eq
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibAlPs9QGP
happened yesterday.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv68e4a73Gc
I had never been in this973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAxIAW7Zvp
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJfjMtVtgc
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUKnYpaCpX
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYnSv9ljKK
crying out loud. I had to do something.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn21uxgIDH
My phone rang bringing 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtEyPf9wmQ
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLQ3c6Vvt2
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tfitYHNvr
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyTOWGM52S
"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rO9N3iGgo
"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.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eeBrPVayB
"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfjxVBEK0t
"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iKpoY1GG7
I would have told him to973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvgxnW7NoA
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAJZEftTuh
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplEczcTnMu
"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg918PV7ZD
"Looks like you aren't 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23hAOB2pT2
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo90bSy4QG
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee0oYo6ySc
"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn1EnVwwfH
"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJHMAS5KJq
"Just get to the point, 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEOkNwud0r
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iyU5KDKs2
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62wpPXriT9
"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1jrHF4GDj
"Today? Are you serious?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRDoXH4cSY
"You know that I am. We meet today."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M7JQmDB1p
"But where?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjKQ65cs6k
"At the mall."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBhR6PhVEq
For a moment I almost 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhck2pqY40
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IzUdzywhX
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCioPvW40v
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6QBYFXdVc
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9rRLPxTxQ
"What's so funny?" Jehan973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIeWMzphp3
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrCtyHfznt
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhmFGWdiKK
myself.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqY2BwTGxj
"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxmUp4qfCP
"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wPPIgTbXS
If he thought saying 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DS0YJO3lc
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleqfHZx5Pa
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1IXC7WTZj
"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuctUOgSlxj
"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVONNpK5TY
"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCRDHJ6BFI
"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YCppH8r6Y
"Ya, sure."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RR0NmzBot
Jehan didn't say 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cch574g7S
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l6zz6om9V
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eVcp1pNCF
Typical.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTzc5tcp5w
"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39YkrlAL4L
"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."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizXWxXbAJ1
"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJoPyzW4V0
"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRdMifqqVg
"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ZwzcfQo1
"Why? You think I would?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4fKX7ega2
"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ2N4aBUv7
"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6JIRWdz2O
"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZAlYlipQu
"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvrW1IDFfC
"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQPJoCtYYz
"That one. Where is it?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixX83DfvfM
"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwAiCtWWUb
"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."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfjbQT2UVT
Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmzX2YgOEo
"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU3hJa2VDI
"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gQaveJmog
"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVHkr2S6TS
Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbJLqQDuqh
I quietly went over to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGMeaLTCK2
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ibF6w9U8
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKZKIxMnYA
soon.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC3s79RXMj
I came to the drawer 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTEsb79LYB
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGUK9sCs4i
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0SanFizW6
I looked at her bed and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxOBfQikHr
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrPMpChlYv
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XBF47PE7c
"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."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM59AUDeyd5
I heard the tap in the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3ji1Esgct
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfa9nz72C0
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1fqfNVp8O
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukw6yPmym1
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF01oZY7Pr
***973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgYeIbNZon
Sam's P.O.V973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Cp65qEOL
"Do you really think 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH5VZbvvTD
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeaWkpviVe
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fxmiTE9Yf
"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnYmcW2N0t
"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi1OX1qQpX
"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi8PnhgRLE
"I hope it's not drugs."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNrUJEh4HC
"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0bj0WRtD0
"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59D2V0JPjg
"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MJvKFVyZu
"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl0aQ8z3tM
"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i1ejzoHoK
"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoLn2ZpPTs
"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf5IENfIkl
"She did a pretty good job on that one."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PN2doFdJP
"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObUXZfzWSR
"Zoey."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsrO6bU2hb
"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgzdGKa9eQ
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxssDbCCF4
they couldn't because of our little fight."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdyoi1Hgio
"Mmm." Lee took a fry 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5B19WfERm
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8InlrOfN72
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWt6IRXDtY
I raised an eyebrow at 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG57nN7pKMM
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXiG4ZVAej
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn7MVzzFzz
"Shoot!" I said loudly 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeJEi7x3NF
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7HxvwSnrD
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2QBvcqIVd
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViklND0PEZ
"About what?" Lee asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqmLKyY9pq
"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUkJasoMjT
"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jboaNX2KZ
"But today might be the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI2du8f9Mk
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtEXJ8RZqD
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nUbFsJKtg
"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD343xpo69E
My heart rate quickened 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk96ucVr0rM
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLFjvR77OX
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1Y62MtJiE
"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDyBI35toJ
"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBympxR6628
"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVYHc1FTWp
"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElcrFuBLTz
"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn75BHNe7F
Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs4fXUybBx
"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZhtV9XjS9
There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ICMrGcXSM
"Alright, thanks, 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BaNUq08MW
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHELajp8nKA
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG5HWKTg1n
Seungri."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhR9pDdhPR
I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchLxZAG5h4
"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr83POWVwH
"Did Christine say where she had gone?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1vrx1zWvK
"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijFB65rvJ0
I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAMM5TJT9a
"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIzTD3LFGT
"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgRscbE5gq
"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoMmfD7f0k
"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzJ6dsTyz7
"Yes, I am." I could 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumXW1YeiRM
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JZMSXTaoj
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhicVtSDJ4X
perhaps?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvd2AhvJYv
I rolled my eyes and as 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae0eSDrKiK
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiXb8F1sPm
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUVe7CFhw7
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPBlIEWg3K
"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVC2n6nQLA
"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKbb6eIs0U
I bit my lower lip and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1n4jH0fOH
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAZ5AazW3B
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisQeekzAEb
"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3VbxCJFBx
"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpwgOnZvET
"I'm at the mall with Lee."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2izctbjy89
"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXRcMI8StT
"Bye."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgjMv02fc5
"Bye, my little kitty."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJmdTguCQv
"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzchCoIWWW
"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl3HW63vk7
"So, he isn't with Zoey?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEPOcyCiys
"Nope. And he isn't 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkQI51jTMN
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r2mO6fS5x
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGxkb6dRNf
"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."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCmFhRoL2D
"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTCTjBDBbH
"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6mjngjgxX
I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LuKcbvO0S
Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfNgaDAIFL
"Tell me about it." I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtK9ZVyPjN
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRPUYAQ707
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa5Fs8Y3dd
"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0OLMTqU7O
I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaKS8uyH1D
After we were done with 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl3pNSafF8
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hHmCtArjg
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rznV4MTrT
As soon as we walked out973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt4jJkrQuD
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KZ80L5Sap
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJfFVjGQsQ
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNML7oRkW5
looking black suit stepped out.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgvnyslIdj
Time seemed to have 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlblT6ZOQkE
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHkCUWxCCx
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR2kYyDZBK
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwmXPB1Ug5
something familiar about him.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8F0GlECn2
Just as I was about to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYio4yz7V4U
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtt6DtzLWp
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ucQKg3Dz0
I almost tripped and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18nRkRX2ne
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAKWV8POO1
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7B0Nh8lEu
me from falling.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkETs7E5aCy
"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MhF0dpYWb
I didn't say a word as I973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X61zgJ8aT
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05mM1ue3Q3
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAJiXN5bRc
"We need to go back, Lee," I said.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf0du1j6aK
"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wkmlMCIof
"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCg1ELepuY
"May I please know what's going on with you?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYonxFseVW
"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS3lqNzMla

Narrator's P.O.V973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mEiUyZQnU
Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoo38xKb4n
"Hey guys, am here," 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rb0DMn45G
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fswrb7DZF
look downcast as though someone's just died."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09pyhkA1PS
"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YgscoFw59
"This is getting real 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGstnhhv2yU
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUb9KrJ34i
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxyRxC9mWa
her or with anyone of you."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1XZHe7RR5
"No, I think now is the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUwDGyS2RG
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy7zUJwgkq
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zwAQZptZ8
"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLuI8pkV5C
"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd4a22dHLL
"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9GAW78wsP
"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDsHiUI8Dq
"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQCeLs2S19
"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtSeJQVsRK
"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKnHI6kiR7
The others rolled their 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRjVn26Wtg
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0M87FV5Lk
around and now wasn't the time for it.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqbdLaQmtq
"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikUQXMCaj3
"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq4eoSlQjG
G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iKT8oqgrh
"Well, maybe," said 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sVa0g7W0F
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmRpz0MD9e
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMGTXkKItJ
she told me to break things up with Zoey."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA6TDJPjQB
"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgGPWYXmdV
"When I saw Daesung and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LRQr6SbJd
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBKyKyYyRe
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA5KS0PTuz
"And you still are," said Taeyang.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpnQd4wVQv
G-Dragon didn't answer 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77cFqjiTU6
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOdBNl0QrT
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4mX4k8h9u
"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."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR2xhzTvhU
"What do you mean?" 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqp31AaiQR
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk3oikGTrP
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkg7nHnwz3
"She was just doing that973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszLQM7WjLN
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fDD04BASf
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dPVwnd34Z
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbBBzCJKuY
be together."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbBiJSMivn
"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy0erYTzCg
"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOdWnxJkaf
All the four BigBang 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecDSNhatb7
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zh0y5yboc
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nQzG4U98r
heard him come in.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Us8wDyni
"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe0WjvT0Hq
"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotIxXu8Ljq
"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISEj4Vmyq0
"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgloM5OLbN
"I'm not going to stay 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIRmtSsBCP
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHKQozqnYe
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jPZe3Ykad
"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm0wHyL0l3
"No, I don't."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRsSDwMSvY
Before G-Dragon could 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVCRhko8M5
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLHbufjouw
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uo0gJI5g0
"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6guLvFDAa
"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD040UpMfv
"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SJ5oPFa1i
G-Dragon folded his arms973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt7c5FoBxY
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZIPYEcNwj
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNKJ5NXGPx
stared at the ceiling.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gFxmg147B
"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VIKV2svZH
Daesung came into the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1vBYGdUXR
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1HJUEjkcp
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYywIhiT04u
"Look, I know you're 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW5QNKxB0U
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzOkgXTWs1
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3hcEA5oV9
never told me anything either."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFm3fbVoSJ
"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6paPTtmEL
"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bw1XgW73d
"Why?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwUK4vFIUM
"She just felt like it 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg73CFBlDXc
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoScgurfCX
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwwmtnyvF6
long distance relationships will ever work out."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEEsMQLO6X
"Then, why did you kiss her?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLdHFU4IY5
"Because I know I'll 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTKcy5fSEi
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz0gNvrx2I
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiisRSALU5N
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ygEKNLcD
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9y9UdKgEU
want to hurt anyone either.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnnEgjSXLX
"Maybe that's why she 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VSTNUxuXU
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorL4i5FsXW
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNucgC9BIdK
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlVRt9Yaif
"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzQ8vNjEjS
"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vxSGGIqBR
"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEtaBdI0AC
"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8daTsh33K8
"I know."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXVGb3I92I
"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY3GAjZ7yX
"I'll think about it."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TdBYePu03
"No, no, no!" Seungri 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXklkXqm04
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSrfvfr2f1
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ix7WhC08f
the mall."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA8JmPz9Mf
Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDY9hASY0q
"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMUHiAFFXQ
"Ya," said Seungri, 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36In7UGLEl
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i8g3r3Lh6
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTd5H8lXc1
"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."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzPaoQRTTJ
"There is no time to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvjtUHdP87

this to Sam. It's not right at all."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuyTosPY6d
"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLMBqizqqZ
"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ls3iFXWy
"We're your best 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLDW6IAmd7

He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvojVHGyG5

I came out of the black 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafJYus6JMq
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD6BvKNQWk
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg2c770QiT
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb0DxGGarA
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7WCucCwlE
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgbQMWREH1
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gHNCsSbU5
by my fans.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1y7xCU4TE
I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic90jeI8I5
"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu6PLM30Lv
"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7uRAv6oHM
"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHmH64PlTm
"Okay."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGBsmzTPua
"Did you bring what I asked for?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzXplzjF4H
I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtov3maZofo
"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkaUxl56z4
"Well, I'm glad you 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuYyBYG82O
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg9E2gCuSZ
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpVj8fUMF1
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i0PXDgpa2
lot smarter than you think."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j3CbFk0R3
"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPWu6Jtx0q
"Mr Grumpy is such a 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO75bWYWmi
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LxrAOlZJn
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J3SEupBJH
When I went into the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbhAQZQGYF
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwZrBl8E85
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMebiJvKDx
I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27LvThx1aR
"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5lFpixhL3
"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0i22yofrB
I shivered. Despite his 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHUwBiK825
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFO205aUNi
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEbSWn9AOt
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjg3IbohzH
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bNHcQS2r1
"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4xpIVMwXa
"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1qAssOB8o
"Why do you need to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGY0PJy0Dg
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hGiKAymiG
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYmAQICtXL
"Well, I need to know 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG1RhlfG2R
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vncfPW0bU
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrONV1TOQM
"And tell me, why should973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlmVlphinR
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdyk4HcJ73
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZgWCibNlm
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcJwj7akad
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3IpwRNnjD
"I...eh..." I looked him973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mz7Ll6GYj
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm1ZGb3AGa
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dnCkukmQv
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplG94fcasS
the kind who would send such a thing."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD5k0t2Wz1
"Oh, really?" Jehan 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuongPvI1Uv
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYn0vYgB5L
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYGgWTs9Oe
"I don't know." I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ302hA0ijnv
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq5IlQzdTU
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hx94rYmsH
up to?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZlNd0byQC
Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf3VisNeKG
"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsUtcVM8MO
"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1p6jXOnoi
"What's the matter with that?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9bj7Y5QG5
"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZx2iO65Kw
"Don't test my patience,973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwLANOBFTs
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZJ9Aoa2lR
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhni99npHyv
think you deserve to you know."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSraB146T2
"Well, yes, I do."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP14tzkwGF
Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNvsZp5FRP
***973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjnStvPTX9
Sam's P.O.V973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWhBG9XbvY
I could see Zoey from 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNOpEBbbLz
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzFNT5IzaQ
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphwmFGUE84
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD8iHL8BUg
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDN5AoXm5y
I was entirely grateful 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xCB0RXG8x
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL2GFx7DaB
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04IFLp9QAH
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTaQuEi2e8
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFkev6e9YV
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiCJCl9ZpM
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFmf2ADK07
"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsiw6XUYkB
"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.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy6P2zh5Qb
"But how did you know 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNumzpmbnaY
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ADyo2mh2O
photo you showed me never revealed his face."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwCZCVDglB
"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyVVfQQyLs
Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Ra8ICNGN
"Well, ya," I said as I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8MB4Zyb84
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR1JVVScyR
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oUHS2s0zm
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJo3DaQ9yZ
Lee turned to the window973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhoEfgmcFg
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nUSN69GMB
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVxTnkkcDY
"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xIftoDDrt
"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG6LH7uSZf
"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j7TSnPV3Y
"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjKeNZ9ULr
"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtJUyvkjtU
Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4Atj34HOp
"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSEcUAA6yo
We made sure to keep a 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD58Qx9pA49
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUaom075Fi
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxCNTVogAm
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpDJSP7wkE
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7MCaQQs0I
They went down the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ul9jqj3Pv
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDncjDvTDJH
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHshI4kk0V
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE0DGsdtnV
They were led by a 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMIZm8Yd0Q
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cNvyr3D1Z
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FDL7E0pJY
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUQV5uaAUf
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0dfd2aLpo
restaurant.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfDY7Ce1Al
"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzULNz3wnQ
"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxIGrupAdQ
"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpSaYyroej
"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsgmGdvcYR
"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLcRsuBJIe
"Me neither. But what to973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGHWZlTDsJ
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuaMzcNMu1
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL608B9MiWN
I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5244ZnEg2z
"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL4RLhxe0o
"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GmKDpPr7q
My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZXdfysMCr
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIXBTyMBFP
Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6W69M9bd0
"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJZwHE2W0c
"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHICsSWvnaR
"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxNn82K6fv
"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98e7SRZT8n
"Don't worry. Seungri 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0IMaKLVom
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzls7qimzfy
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh0K7nKXLi
and she will know something fishy is going on."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu7dUBJ52Z
"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsKkU8j6Qi
"I hope so too."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUOJVLcYi3
***973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzr9DFLFyG
Zoey's P.O.V973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5vh1HJMGS
I looked at the menu and973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYqiD3umOY
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV5geWKDQF
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq08SXi4Ny4
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkDMC93uhL
looked up at me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA90nHDy2Z
"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW54FKz6F5I
"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIJJGV1cB1
"Why?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mDoNXjZjf
I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIFC2JQFGF
"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSUnJ9gN5o
"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVXF0oZdrC
I growled. "Stop that, will you?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrL1SI895W
"What?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PYsKLTuH4
"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDAdFrU49f
"I'll try not to next 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitkgpIQTnC
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7VTS82c83
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NNhCH81Ek
"Now, are you going to tell me?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOTXEbG0QE
"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tbi3YXids
"Not tell anyone."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V7t5yZIQN
Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPCXAGUhEI
"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xxl9iwB7N
"I smuggle diamonds."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3rFjhKIsv
My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVyoWjzXGr
"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EzjCstmd9
"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1URDoNjFyd
"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcemiu6dWJv
"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI5pJiSGLA
The waiter came with our973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3cY91zq4T
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbTu7F4UGA
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYhfuUZxNs
"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55lTGzlW34
"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalkx8yJpdT
"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEGcbLWuI3
"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnJAyYRawY
"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDLlkXzv5H
"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd96vwZ5Mot
"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyywekpx3vK
"Is that why you're so rich?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfTRCtZzSK
"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J34DNGHzz
"That's being greedy, don't you think?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KrUpiPqjY
Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMeY8LpwTR
I gulped. He was giving 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcoCbRBSj1
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qUjT2uHzF

entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRfXr4NV1F
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOixri5ZT7F
car? What was he doing here?973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn3tE2MSzX
Seungri came out of the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8ug6yzbL5
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FUEzD6kqU
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO26ipWpKw
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRmdjECQTM
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsLCp8BSW5
what I was expecting.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhFhthV0AG
I trembled. What am I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEVBQzMBz0
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XTdDs8cx2
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC920dvGu8l
give Mr Teddy away.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwz65P0ZGn
"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd64AjN9hI
"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ALVBj3sf
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7CKsWepGb
"I, no....I," I didn't 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmVRX8aPDW
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eyBx2szDo

"I was only expecting 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg0wW8wHdW
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJGiWecHyn
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkYQIkilet
seeing the two of them together.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ruyyuvnxe
"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLktvU7JG2
"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIhpHrnifs
"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN980NSJ6HZ
"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcn5zqRnZV
"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsx3E5hKWA
"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3PK61OWTD
"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VW42Mk3zr
"Come with me," I said 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dJaDeENlD
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcdwynNipn
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb24MAWtDyw
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIwyaYYEKb
When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9qFhDvHQx
"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTiMMyQgq7
"Hi, guys. You're 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6n8HCya7a
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3Lp2brrFt
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur7tCFfjVO
"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDxafOlwB6
"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjkh4Gxfnj
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.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbke93gN9m
"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07aDgxM01b
The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsQFZozqim
"Well, if you look into 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUoosvQAHb
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzHOUb77JN
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMf81TUGll
The five all turned to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9RKE7uso1
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAYloQuUlP
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabOXAj1oqh
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CCvOO2MxM
"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3zseOz0IS
Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW63VD5jsPY
"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBQh8ecbgV
"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."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDlQ9DlEDg
"We were also wondering 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M0HmS5Bjm
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q9admebui
them, but decided that I would rather not."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptdepJR7fk
"Why?" Daesung asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6jkTgldLi
"Well, Zoey seems to be 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlgk7VjTAv
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun6YaocGzM
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14z6Pm9tiV
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZQmZWGYNa
"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.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRi1uuBrAs
"Huh? Wait a minute," 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q7XLWdceG
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLVInIqhyO
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDCcuAGj4Q
"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKFsoNT4Dm
"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmvsEDTp2c
Everyone turned to look 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhxH6034fG
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNFUY90FN6
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXDt9g3IDH
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64J3hLhh7h
"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQtrIitpKC
Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzpSKSHiTF
"Here you're now 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX1MIpkGLD
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsP2d9GwBb
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeSSUMbK0d
"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4rnIrFuRI
"I'll talk with G-Dragon973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiOIQw2IaJ
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWpN9t0NaZ
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8EnFFF7iw
something, quick.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4qSpK9Vc4
"Okay, fine, we will 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAtfehFtA7
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RqMAtHVO4
into the restaurant and meet the guy."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikw24b7w6G
Yes. Finally. I thought 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGfLP4TOkK
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwetSRsmsJv
everything was going to be delayed.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifmegAZjbX
"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OOIh0t8Cm
"We will wait out here," said Daesung.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEhKqH1R6N
Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEJC9orbiJ
"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyv1leP0jM
As much as I wanted to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHB5d7R6fM
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFMgBiV8Lv
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas7Fh0OFB9
***973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxr6H3LQmQ
Zoey's P.O.V973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yhAtqUkLJ
As much as I tried to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z3mQ2y7Y6
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnj4WhijGg
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UkjPhGQjT
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ218YTsvj5s
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5rm65nV6w
"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbDUqNX2GD
"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4JitSfqXj
"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVaLKRU0dn
"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGQOt3SQTA
"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.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeuVdZ4Cp0
"What do you want me to 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntHsouHXQR
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb488e4Lyi
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYmyeBbnce
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3twMWJkp18
"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLNEvmvVnh
"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ99W8xoPK
Jehan shook his head and973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxt5kfsDOt
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru9WEcls87
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbtL6hRTiH
annoying."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXWalMuhv9
"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSgApxelj4
"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PiCLj8YM0
"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgNN3Id7jY
"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopbbt4duFE
"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhljSUGmVm5
Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuToRwimjo
"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJr30Cna7p
Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD9ZK5aygo
"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6A2oGMd1N
Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AX29jtzrS
"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP9mXZoRxG
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqZMQIt2NZ
"Yes, for real."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0VcfIosqb
"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5R80kiqZI
"Yes. Maybe we will meet973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQybZuONpFb
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkfbG1bvWC
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gDm0kQlmd
"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRH0vjNPmv
"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN288O007M
"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3K45MTmdG
"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIpRJ6ffiF
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.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25njKxJx3E
Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMmfvqOgUs
"Zoey, hey!"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8nHnXKkGv
Seungri? I quickly 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vs00z3zN9
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdqMhNChfk
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtGnyuGUYe
here?973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeUbLjkp2S
They came over to our 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqYMVifhHA
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgpFPvPMU7
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kFFaiG58J
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbTll36Ee9
to do now?973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvoinOUkEQ
"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSTMvFhR6m
"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAJRSZLTXA
"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsNcrV5ocv
"Jehan."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFxG2kI4Al
"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA80EV6OMn
"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0146PSSCNe
"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmWnzT4lwg
"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JT9oBOvbp
"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd04IOriEI
"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYaQ9yXnPs
"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxjPfExvZt
I almost spit out the 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTROpPPYdh
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn889hAwuf
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTsSa8vxU1
to water.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X6nU068Ac
"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyUbOi19TI
"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdFnlAldhI
"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYtxUqdavZ
Jehan looked at me and I973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjltY1ofDMo
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedu5xnTa48
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV7hVbfDPQ
"May I ask what you're 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1IfL5Brlo
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhiIYXWxan
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzbaSkF11Z
"Oh, we just came here 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEaGDolb56
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68oOSoIcwt
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKVuDwtioa
"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCGWLlU9y8
"No, you didn't," said Jehan.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQi0LJigHQ
Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyfgsDfOdR
"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiqYGOZ3iF
"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbahquhAie
"Yes, we will," said 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73861K9daM
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLDqTPQK7z
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIkV3ZMFEX
"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclcVYF7GTk
"You too," said Seungri.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp0SyLZZ1Z
Jehan gave a small smile973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID6IScux8s
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZOV5SiyK3
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QaG5EF7tv
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVF5Vd0pmd
"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJmTeyMksO
"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uB0O0mYJb
"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc50Vfcgv4
"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BHEIBkjT3
I wondered how I was 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5fuUkUff2
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEKuptPCQe
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHxRqJ9Q0H
head until I give the teddy bear away.973Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzMswyc7t7
This was just great!
