Sunday was quiet and 834Please respect copyright.PENANA0e1CIahvkc
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 834Please respect copyright.PENANAGTdyNIS74g
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 834Please respect copyright.PENANA6AZlEZ3Ph7
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or834Please respect copyright.PENANA4vex4e8JFe
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.834Please respect copyright.PENANARlF880mpLH
Last night, Zoey moved 834Please respect copyright.PENANA1B7DWwpgc4
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to834Please respect copyright.PENANA4r4gtsKLl6
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 834Please respect copyright.PENANAVsStW8XjgS
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 834Please respect copyright.PENANAgnUpwapESK
talk to her either.834Please respect copyright.PENANAf7Bj87uGKU
And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.834Please respect copyright.PENANAfdwFDCGr5k
It so happened that 834Please respect copyright.PENANAoo5nuZP50p
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbQO0VhJUfd
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 834Please respect copyright.PENANAUrs52IVKOz
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAxLQCFNwaFq
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 834Please respect copyright.PENANAnDa6xevQ5P
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.834Please respect copyright.PENANAzP7ZAzbTlX
Now, I was sitting 834Please respect copyright.PENANArZrqhDobW7
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 834Please respect copyright.PENANAHCSANXcHg9
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had834Please respect copyright.PENANAD5TEemsN8H
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 834Please respect copyright.PENANAhUCCKy0opm
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.834Please respect copyright.PENANAOGxvKxHdJz
I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.834Please respect copyright.PENANA9ctA8wj46E
"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.834Please respect copyright.PENANA5BajTawaFu
"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.834Please respect copyright.PENANAGWAK1ZGjWU
"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?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAFMpfSWvHlA
"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.834Please respect copyright.PENANAxotEZ8ReyN
"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.834Please respect copyright.PENANAAz8UNWAzW7
"Lee!" I whined, putting834Please respect copyright.PENANA399q9bw73w
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 834Please respect copyright.PENANAm4GnjBsoOK
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.834Please respect copyright.PENANABllVaxjf4n
"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."834Please respect copyright.PENANAxyewBf1Pew
"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.834Please respect copyright.PENANARVBrjg8AlL
"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."834Please respect copyright.PENANAGkQ5DRzP1l
"Why? I want to stay here."834Please respect copyright.PENANAakPQex0HHO
"I need to go and shop 834Please respect copyright.PENANA9t8A1BS0IC
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after834Please respect copyright.PENANA9EiKU0zvLO
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."834Please respect copyright.PENANAZByqU8YWEx
"But watching YouTube 834Please respect copyright.PENANAXskO8ajmrB
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 834Please respect copyright.PENANAUhHmRGOK78
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."834Please respect copyright.PENANAGOOVJ8aOlp
Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAaKpkptcxMK
"I think Lee is right, 834Please respect copyright.PENANA1bqIKnvPIk
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 834Please respect copyright.PENANAawwiG2qYSc
out on Sundays like you do back home."834Please respect copyright.PENANA2jRP9QI67R
"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.834Please respect copyright.PENANAxwBkmoVhhu
"I know you're a fan of 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbpztdMka5k
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 834Please respect copyright.PENANAnqAOwC5RLM
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.834Please respect copyright.PENANAJcnnGsXaxS
"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAnP8Na5kNhS
"Well, that's what 834Please respect copyright.PENANAFWNtrsoyb7
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 834Please respect copyright.PENANAFsPXGWw1zU
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."834Please respect copyright.PENANAQqxw6ZmklV
"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."834Please respect copyright.PENANAzyALzHbwlN
"That's what we are 834Please respect copyright.PENANAvFwwRIQrpm
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 834Please respect copyright.PENANAKfZ2HLDpLi
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like834Please respect copyright.PENANACctY8fRo4H
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."834Please respect copyright.PENANA4czcGF5KOj
Daniel's right. I had to834Please respect copyright.PENANAA1RFEgVNU6
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 834Please respect copyright.PENANAv7eEfj3X3o
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 834Please respect copyright.PENANAjDVG0a48r0
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?834Please respect copyright.PENANAlLzBAx2haQ
Unlike the others, Lee 834Please respect copyright.PENANAXMZ5wyuDBe
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 834Please respect copyright.PENANALpRlz16lyB
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 834Please respect copyright.PENANARjAFiACDPA
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 834Please respect copyright.PENANAy3mBnekbzz
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 834Please respect copyright.PENANA9SMNH6kAO9
and Zoey together.834Please respect copyright.PENANAcCR7Yhu67Z
I really wanted to tell 834Please respect copyright.PENANAscfPVUAJKW
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 834Please respect copyright.PENANALRGX5K4PT2
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I834Please respect copyright.PENANAtTX9bY2VSR
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 834Please respect copyright.PENANA0kgOHO9KRG
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 834Please respect copyright.PENANAQsXLvJlWOS
When was I ever going to change?834Please respect copyright.PENANAxG3IWc6yQ7
"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."834Please respect copyright.PENANAI5KewYBm4b
"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."834Please respect copyright.PENANAvZjT7E8CHj
"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAivYWycttoj
"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."834Please respect copyright.PENANA2pJihECcyU
"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.834Please respect copyright.PENANAEq3LBQF8X9
Lee, Mike and Daniel 834Please respect copyright.PENANAvnE6PvW3FK
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 834Please respect copyright.PENANASUoSMy6laS
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to834Please respect copyright.PENANA2cuzwiiyGa
my room to get my shoes.834Please respect copyright.PENANADzryb3ICKL
After I wore my white 834Please respect copyright.PENANAX4mnD1caBt
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 834Please respect copyright.PENANAJlNoCOjX59
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 834Please respect copyright.PENANA4NbZQgCawM
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 834Please respect copyright.PENANAhbrKMbpYkN
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each834Please respect copyright.PENANAx52DXNQJwQ
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.834Please respect copyright.PENANA7GDHfteIAk
"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."834Please respect copyright.PENANAXGMm3YH0BF
"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."834Please respect copyright.PENANAbC1mUW0vSJ
I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.834Please respect copyright.PENANAnXgwmmNWjx
I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.834Please respect copyright.PENANAJywaYbBvZC
"We can go, now," I told her.834Please respect copyright.PENANAstZLRQQAkj
"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.834Please respect copyright.PENANAmZEkzpUqEz
"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.834Please respect copyright.PENANAviSgXcsKe1
"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.834Please respect copyright.PENANAcwJF8KAAm9
I smiled back at him. 834Please respect copyright.PENANA5aNb9Oy8kQ
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 834Please respect copyright.PENANA4WR32qDiR2
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 834Please respect copyright.PENANAOorbs27h3n
guards in the other SUV.834Please respect copyright.PENANAS1oy3AGFB8
"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.834Please respect copyright.PENANAY8lIjQ26gG
"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.834Please respect copyright.PENANAr1EDGuYxVZ
"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."834Please respect copyright.PENANAYcGGYPtXUW
The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.834Please respect copyright.PENANAM2opp2seTi
"So, where are we going?" I asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAaxgO9vg1Az
"To the mall," Lee answered.834Please respect copyright.PENANAsjnvV1xrk0
"How will the mall help me figure things out?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAPkFKOXG59m
"What's wrong with the 834Please respect copyright.PENANA9C526bXysp
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAS0Mp4ZxY7D
best plans just come out of the blue."834Please respect copyright.PENANAF8mR7QCEM6
"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."834Please respect copyright.PENANAlGC8CxPmgE
"And waste the day away? No way."834Please respect copyright.PENANAcZUQo5J6cG
"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."834Please respect copyright.PENANAXUr9FsqqMm
"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."834Please respect copyright.PENANAEcYH6GITTh
"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."834Please respect copyright.PENANAT13yayzneQ
"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAD8NpRWWeMB
"No. Zoey might have 834Please respect copyright.PENANAg48qpIflxZ
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 834Please respect copyright.PENANAJRGfNj1Rt4
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbTEDeSKs4K
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."834Please respect copyright.PENANAcFvInm7JXq
"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAaTfK3ca2aP
"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."834Please respect copyright.PENANAqdXLLkMh3J
"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAvzCl1C86rd
"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."834Please respect copyright.PENANAwWx48NhBUh
Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.834Please respect copyright.PENANAvSmstTJ4Ek
"I don't know what to do834Please respect copyright.PENANAlubRg9KJ7a
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey834Please respect copyright.PENANAhZCzZmMY0V
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey834Please respect copyright.PENANAidJC1pF35e
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 834Please respect copyright.PENANAhE9hTqZgxt
somehow."834Please respect copyright.PENANAQnchA0FLLY
"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."834Please respect copyright.PENANA5KMFSGKLkO
"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."834Please respect copyright.PENANAd38Sv61NhC
"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."834Please respect copyright.PENANAjEXx6rytEC
I folded my arms as I 834Please respect copyright.PENANAzjb6TSOQob
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 834Please respect copyright.PENANAaquHtWF55t
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 834Please respect copyright.PENANAEh86XHPKZQ
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 834Please respect copyright.PENANAlYMM23D6It
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.834Please respect copyright.PENANAUFHo0codMn
We soon reached the mall834Please respect copyright.PENANAErwAuw6HT3
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 834Please respect copyright.PENANA7RcFg09qZn
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 834Please respect copyright.PENANA4ddlGEhZU0
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 834Please respect copyright.PENANAgF8e7xGxCV
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 834Please respect copyright.PENANAdzHyhPfgnR
the bodyguards were around.834Please respect copyright.PENANAghuTMVCtPV
Lee and I first went 834Please respect copyright.PENANAwf11mbdk7a
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 834Please respect copyright.PENANAoudiYjkImN
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for834Please respect copyright.PENANAGRck6nrnLT
a while. I was having fun.834Please respect copyright.PENANAXpFyHs6esu
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.834Please respect copyright.PENANAAd2ccX8X2F
Lee and I soon came out 834Please respect copyright.PENANAYAd680DtjW
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 834Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ6hUTyHiH
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 834Please respect copyright.PENANAayeVJ7osPq
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 834Please respect copyright.PENANAJoWhu7y9J0
our bags because we bought way too much.834Please respect copyright.PENANAIOxMrZF4Iz
When we walked out of 834Please respect copyright.PENANANKlfMsvBZU
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 834Please respect copyright.PENANAEX4M3bF7FB
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbMI8nns9rN
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAa27lHc8goD
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.834Please respect copyright.PENANAhLwpiY0qIG
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.834Please respect copyright.PENANAhTDdtWvqZX
I couldn't answer Lee. I834Please respect copyright.PENANANCW07JETPs
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 834Please respect copyright.PENANABXpKkX74i8
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.834Please respect copyright.PENANAqYuZjLvw76
"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.834Please respect copyright.PENANAUSXeiEoU1u
"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.834Please respect copyright.PENANAzZJ4UADVWr
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"834Please respect copyright.PENANADuxoChpoo6
"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."834Please respect copyright.PENANA4vZhO7clMr
"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."834Please respect copyright.PENANAOHFelvX2Xp
"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.834Please respect copyright.PENANAHowgtPE5AG
"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA0wuhhiuqhl
"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.834Please respect copyright.PENANA0GRseLnthL
I looked at each and 834Please respect copyright.PENANAS5WRQGyDZv
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 834Please respect copyright.PENANAfUsGAAN0uy
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAMjU8pjHOJW
"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.834Please respect copyright.PENANAwAvG2OAILJ
"What?" Lee looked 834Please respect copyright.PENANAL2S0oePrl5
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 834Please respect copyright.PENANAaDeiC1c04c
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 834Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ5ylty4lF
panda."834Please respect copyright.PENANANDuulzau3p
"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."834Please respect copyright.PENANATwyZOWbC3q
"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.834Please respect copyright.PENANAuNo9e9n2zl
"Derrick's brother sent 834Please respect copyright.PENANAZTtm2W8cJc
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 834Please respect copyright.PENANADXAwWojmQE
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy834Please respect copyright.PENANAOPrzi5Iubn
bear."834Please respect copyright.PENANAZOLYpNrd4x
"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."834Please respect copyright.PENANA3QyFgWSHAw
"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAxnwLCdWXjv
"I don't get it though."834Please respect copyright.PENANADjmVw7Bdud
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 834Please respect copyright.PENANAwacqXhx4d4
so concerned about that small teddy?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAD6hA5MFXH1
"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."834Please respect copyright.PENANAu6q8Huf31L
***834Please respect copyright.PENANAQebtqF84dV
Zoey's P.O.V834Please respect copyright.PENANALWi10AwE31
"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.834Please respect copyright.PENANAT2cpnx0HCZ
"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.834Please respect copyright.PENANAswxXERK6ym
"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."834Please respect copyright.PENANAudceCTU0Gp
"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."834Please respect copyright.PENANAMY9UqPhAZs
"How am I treating her unfairly?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAft6mYxiEQk
"You moved out of the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAiQEN674B1Y
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 834Please respect copyright.PENANAYM5Hwi7JmG
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 834Please respect copyright.PENANALfUT5sDARY
of alien or something."834Please respect copyright.PENANA69tptxhOF4
I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."834Please respect copyright.PENANAcWRhvNTm6n
In a quick flash, a 834Please respect copyright.PENANAyRLUPGtuAc
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAKaZdBZFi8g
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.834Please respect copyright.PENANAFxrCXbTwyr
"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.834Please respect copyright.PENANAWFDYgypeoB
"Do you want more of 834Please respect copyright.PENANApmDJLxSVNu
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 834Please respect copyright.PENANAqrp9I2UyI8
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.834Please respect copyright.PENANAlhdROj0ZMV
"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."834Please respect copyright.PENANAJEWe3lOxnj
"You got that right." 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbF1bQoovJn
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't834Please respect copyright.PENANAcXXfTbVyrG
ignore her like you're doing forever."834Please respect copyright.PENANAEChgQPEVPk
"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.834Please respect copyright.PENANA5Scd3oSi9d
"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."834Please respect copyright.PENANAKry9f8diR5
"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."834Please respect copyright.PENANAJFGeJKXlgk
Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.834Please respect copyright.PENANAwtpEcu6PI0
"It's normal for someone834Please respect copyright.PENANAzbPgjwi7WA
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last834Please respect copyright.PENANAjepcwp4OGt
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 834Please respect copyright.PENANAKK3PeMk3bF
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,834Please respect copyright.PENANAku6WSam3op
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbThpYxhn6z
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."834Please respect copyright.PENANAi5PPYY12St
I always hated such kind834Please respect copyright.PENANAUVzm8RUImG
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I834Please respect copyright.PENANAIgjoyYe3uO
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact834Please respect copyright.PENANAelfmqpqTDf
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,834Please respect copyright.PENANADSqNeYACdk
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I834Please respect copyright.PENANAdOzPyB62O5
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 834Please respect copyright.PENANAPZZdgCp36Y
nothing.834Please respect copyright.PENANAqTz0DGXtet
I've never told anyone 834Please respect copyright.PENANA8LP07NRUKk
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 834Please respect copyright.PENANAHkkSchSkHd
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a834Please respect copyright.PENANAFH0zP9dcHn
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 834Please respect copyright.PENANACcp9AqbLl6
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 834Please respect copyright.PENANAdgveBBlOFP
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 834Please respect copyright.PENANATcSilzsJfB
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.834Please respect copyright.PENANAs9Fqr1sg52
I am Yin and she is 834Please respect copyright.PENANA1NncXHE0Iz
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAb1qqbenrKb
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 834Please respect copyright.PENANA5s5wRK70EW
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam834Please respect copyright.PENANAn4WfqrkVFD
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?834Please respect copyright.PENANA2G1EO7A7bH
And now when I needed 834Please respect copyright.PENANAGwNXeTb1BL
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAZLRnIHTwHK
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into834Please respect copyright.PENANAgwpKZUhzdx
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 834Please respect copyright.PENANAB3zJWXgp0Z
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 834Please respect copyright.PENANASytWp9cFEG
serious situation with a very dangerous person.834Please respect copyright.PENANAT4xfpSWETU
It all begun when I went834Please respect copyright.PENANAVosakrtrwr
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 834Please respect copyright.PENANAMG1uBprM5Z
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 834Please respect copyright.PENANAgVg2Pz87aX
this mess.834Please respect copyright.PENANACZuYF6pKQm
We were having so much 834Please respect copyright.PENANALlufL6BKUC
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 834Please respect copyright.PENANAJpxE5Lrqwa
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAmKITJuHZu1
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 834Please respect copyright.PENANA7R4lai0bwS
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 834Please respect copyright.PENANAYc1xHYQgmq
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 834Please respect copyright.PENANA4y22MnIOGA
things did go wrong.834Please respect copyright.PENANAyFTb29JNdU
As we were watching the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAroiXZ6ai3j
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 834Please respect copyright.PENANAHHgC1SzpOK
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me834Please respect copyright.PENANAf9ynLxOGVy
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.834Please respect copyright.PENANALM0SoAtukh
When I looked at him, he834Please respect copyright.PENANAkSz7HolAde
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised834Please respect copyright.PENANA7buo3BBK3B
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 834Please respect copyright.PENANATnUieHYEIK
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 834Please respect copyright.PENANAsPC6vJY3d3
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 834Please respect copyright.PENANA1JW6PGZz1k
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.834Please respect copyright.PENANAJjjAwhNCyj
After the show when 834Please respect copyright.PENANAVLHrcECPXr
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 834Please respect copyright.PENANAEJhFsizQFh
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 834Please respect copyright.PENANAIaG4VnxOoC
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 834Please respect copyright.PENANAMSgkwK803n
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 834Please respect copyright.PENANA4dS7dbRJ1J
take a few minutes.834Please respect copyright.PENANANEBNkHSiyD
I didn't find anything 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbAGjB5WxDo
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 834Please respect copyright.PENANAPotAGkOke8
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 834Please respect copyright.PENANA17VeNGsqrc
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 834Please respect copyright.PENANAOx14UARGDP
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 834Please respect copyright.PENANAemBtAt1tDz
too much.834Please respect copyright.PENANAhovNGeGfDY
Jehan led the way out 834Please respect copyright.PENANAlCtAoAbt5D
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 834Please respect copyright.PENANADBwEm0GeZ3
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 834Please respect copyright.PENANAFl0Nc4b4l5
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 834Please respect copyright.PENANAMsiHe0tbeC
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 834Please respect copyright.PENANAKw42mOL0Zu
that I felt a little safe.834Please respect copyright.PENANAmABcrfy1eZ
The two of us soon found834Please respect copyright.PENANArei2mbbPhO
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 834Please respect copyright.PENANAsEoWSVZeA4
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAyAGQreBG7A
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 834Please respect copyright.PENANAN88fWBlXwR
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 834Please respect copyright.PENANAaZhMZIfOpX
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a834Please respect copyright.PENANACx0DmdCHwV
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAclCQHzBPq3
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing834Please respect copyright.PENANAX1ckyTvI5x
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 834Please respect copyright.PENANA1EUhj5pd89
menacing.834Please respect copyright.PENANAUsUCu9U2UZ
He gave me something for834Please respect copyright.PENANA4OpDHjPnAN
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 834Please respect copyright.PENANAtoVFNHrc2N
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAOc2xm7Sqjr
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 834Please respect copyright.PENANAdNtydfmpH6
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 834Please respect copyright.PENANAPWA4NPFld4
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 834Please respect copyright.PENANArwODohn1uG
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.834Please respect copyright.PENANAiiKR6XxyTA
Whatever he sent me that834Please respect copyright.PENANA7pMHtl4DBA
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 834Please respect copyright.PENANADBfhGGXpyn
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 834Please respect copyright.PENANAhmVy8voYEP
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbNjOeeAxIZ
happened yesterday.834Please respect copyright.PENANAH7fy7nvKUP
I had never been in this834Please respect copyright.PENANAgOXKojX8nV
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?834Please respect copyright.PENANABLivLYQWPF
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest834Please respect copyright.PENANAMXFYWYAJW1
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 834Please respect copyright.PENANAddNbn1YMni
crying out loud. I had to do something.834Please respect copyright.PENANAtwxbj91HQP
My phone rang bringing 834Please respect copyright.PENANAQpRizEUsFG
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 834Please respect copyright.PENANAP1Ry5XZqyR
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside834Please respect copyright.PENANA748erb36PZ
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.834Please respect copyright.PENANADRUjsf567G
"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.834Please respect copyright.PENANA9jP34aIy3S
"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.834Please respect copyright.PENANAvIf7I0TMyB
"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.834Please respect copyright.PENANA0Lo4yjknMK
"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."834Please respect copyright.PENANAWBLzMrP8KV
I would have told him to834Please respect copyright.PENANA5dScqcp7h4
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 834Please respect copyright.PENANAgdZN5bQArK
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.834Please respect copyright.PENANAqF5pqP0F7t
"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.834Please respect copyright.PENANACkrKbg70W4
"Looks like you aren't 834Please respect copyright.PENANASvxzt1Ul2M
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.834Please respect copyright.PENANAvq1qerQfgy
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."834Please respect copyright.PENANAKw6dmae2hf
"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.834Please respect copyright.PENANAvtGrVea8T8
"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAJvLlPKkux7
"Just get to the point, 834Please respect copyright.PENANAd3gCRF6yBp
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 834Please respect copyright.PENANAsi4ymJgb5n
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.834Please respect copyright.PENANAOdOoIkuy45
"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.834Please respect copyright.PENANAVIAHqjVs2n
"Today? Are you serious?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAPgsSP9v4kV
"You know that I am. We meet today."834Please respect copyright.PENANAHnaFSUNHF4
"But where?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA8egRLacGiz
"At the mall."834Please respect copyright.PENANAGGcZcCObim
For a moment I almost 834Please respect copyright.PENANAsu4HgcbatU
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to834Please respect copyright.PENANAA8pf51GRl1
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 834Please respect copyright.PENANAz1nHXBAQvE
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAOSrO3Zvqec
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.834Please respect copyright.PENANAewdMX6zmCl
"What's so funny?" Jehan834Please respect copyright.PENANAYkXXmDyX1n
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 834Please respect copyright.PENANAuMcA03CDV6
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 834Please respect copyright.PENANAx3rzol6Jdj
myself.834Please respect copyright.PENANAXfOqJhuC8b
"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."834Please respect copyright.PENANAVAnNJlqS7Z
"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."834Please respect copyright.PENANAbsi6gJjWUB
If he thought saying 834Please respect copyright.PENANAuk2FK0bo9F
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me834Please respect copyright.PENANAALed6vZDv2
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.834Please respect copyright.PENANAkViGTUGlGI
"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.834Please respect copyright.PENANAdKeIRMu8rM
"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."834Please respect copyright.PENANAjDpTDRvUsM
"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."834Please respect copyright.PENANAipiodRb0oL
"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."834Please respect copyright.PENANAbo3ReMbOTP
"Ya, sure."834Please respect copyright.PENANAymHcmIvnu7
Jehan didn't say 834Please respect copyright.PENANATabFwrT8Bb
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 834Please respect copyright.PENANAGacVqRPjTE
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 834Please respect copyright.PENANAsNK0GB61vU
Typical.834Please respect copyright.PENANAJRdrlPaRJA
"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.834Please respect copyright.PENANAkghFdlYKFF
"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."834Please respect copyright.PENANA1itdylySfM
"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAMAr3K1AfCk
"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."834Please respect copyright.PENANAMt0Xt5N7nm
"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.834Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ4KqDMHft
"Why? You think I would?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAg2KUH48g0i
"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."834Please respect copyright.PENANAQBZvhTgOFc
"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."834Please respect copyright.PENANAoHFxZK02gk
"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.834Please respect copyright.PENANAiBunqUlHo0
"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.834Please respect copyright.PENANAP3r7tw4Wda
"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.834Please respect copyright.PENANAqzA0H1dswe
"That one. Where is it?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAvdLLBHkw34
"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.834Please respect copyright.PENANADU0wQ28XgB
"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."834Please respect copyright.PENANAR3qcc6r3xg
Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.834Please respect copyright.PENANAI6ZdWL2h8t
"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."834Please respect copyright.PENANAMvHXE3U52B
"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."834Please respect copyright.PENANAVzb34HefsA
"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."834Please respect copyright.PENANAzrbeZ7be6I
Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.834Please respect copyright.PENANAyvBlIAs06p
I quietly went over to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAm0fZcnyTkc
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 834Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2cBzWNewR
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back834Please respect copyright.PENANAb9cjwPVRr7
soon.834Please respect copyright.PENANASZh4e1X9Hw
I came to the drawer 834Please respect copyright.PENANAgd1efT24EW
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 834Please respect copyright.PENANA0GA95nTbrg
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?834Please respect copyright.PENANAGIpYTzsLmM
I looked at her bed and 834Please respect copyright.PENANAPmdKWmFF30
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 834Please respect copyright.PENANAPEF3SAYiES
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.834Please respect copyright.PENANAv64Nkwg1Pb
"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."834Please respect copyright.PENANAhoHkWwFpI6
I heard the tap in the 834Please respect copyright.PENANA3fj6sWrcuK
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 834Please respect copyright.PENANA7nsJJ0cYJa
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 834Please respect copyright.PENANAKb5ARUIqLt
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 834Please respect copyright.PENANAxmMDVrAE5D
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.834Please respect copyright.PENANAKTGz0BOgdm
***834Please respect copyright.PENANAeNMFI3hdDK
Sam's P.O.V834Please respect copyright.PENANA9FTKud8nkI
"Do you really think 834Please respect copyright.PENANAkDpX4Ux0jk
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 834Please respect copyright.PENANAROYWbrwf87
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.834Please respect copyright.PENANA0wx2gATPVF
"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.834Please respect copyright.PENANAGTW2oogZsg
"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA9y2XaTtf3O
"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"834Please respect copyright.PENANARWYdZ0zW9a
"I hope it's not drugs."834Please respect copyright.PENANAyE6IpF1nAg
"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.834Please respect copyright.PENANAuuGnL3V9a9
"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.834Please respect copyright.PENANABpW3dUCaZp
"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.834Please respect copyright.PENANAV7oEURxjOW
"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAAdtk5bMwPe
"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."834Please respect copyright.PENANAQrPixo41ZE
"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAYjsZBFwjy3
"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."834Please respect copyright.PENANAHiGeiRcpwb
"She did a pretty good job on that one."834Please respect copyright.PENANAJV8MvIEXRc
"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA2dduKJUzWF
"Zoey."834Please respect copyright.PENANA3JGETblfR5
"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 834Please respect copyright.PENANApXcspNUJuH
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 834Please respect copyright.PENANApNWB5h69wk
they couldn't because of our little fight."834Please respect copyright.PENANAqkbKDFhxP9
"Mmm." Lee took a fry 834Please respect copyright.PENANA52BPeqfSY2
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 834Please respect copyright.PENANAyk3vy5C3ay
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAzGe8cTgdl5
I raised an eyebrow at 834Please respect copyright.PENANAtQodQaxH9S
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 834Please respect copyright.PENANAVRxIKiMjdN
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.834Please respect copyright.PENANApU1Aupw3bX
"Shoot!" I said loudly 834Please respect copyright.PENANAYIqsfya3Pa
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 834Please respect copyright.PENANAeyyyxWQnAf
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 834Please respect copyright.PENANAMLiyoQS2GS
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."834Please respect copyright.PENANAW0gKZyHMRD
"About what?" Lee asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAfkWWCY3vbd
"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."834Please respect copyright.PENANAZvN4xiwnoV
"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."834Please respect copyright.PENANAVhvZhdVWe8
"But today might be the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAUQtNE6vqlE
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 834Please respect copyright.PENANAK6MIaRFRTR
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."834Please respect copyright.PENANAPHJNNaQro3
"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."834Please respect copyright.PENANAX6Hnmnr2Yn
My heart rate quickened 834Please respect copyright.PENANAIbVjoX4RPd
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 834Please respect copyright.PENANAIRYk520Sun
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?834Please respect copyright.PENANAAoW1RbDH1h
"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.834Please respect copyright.PENANA2qJZViLoV5
"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."834Please respect copyright.PENANAkg14Rw43Lg
"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.834Please respect copyright.PENANAMsQdzmHuy8
"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."834Please respect copyright.PENANAhyC8o0YmF8
"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."834Please respect copyright.PENANATjZEyOrOum
Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.834Please respect copyright.PENANAgMFSynuXU6
"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."834Please respect copyright.PENANAYSUrVJnBGM
There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.834Please respect copyright.PENANAar3DhGnfct
"Alright, thanks, 834Please respect copyright.PENANARW1MKfrpU5
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 834Please respect copyright.PENANAgfZ1s6Vmu7
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 834Please respect copyright.PENANA2eXVKtViLq
Seungri."834Please respect copyright.PENANAxLwSZnnqlY
I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."834Please respect copyright.PENANAaCjJWTdpfx
"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."834Please respect copyright.PENANAL115o6Tdks
"Did Christine say where she had gone?"834Please respect copyright.PENANANfVPruOQ6Q
"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."834Please respect copyright.PENANAEG4bgsRm77
I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.834Please respect copyright.PENANAbb1oJIjy5j
"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAVjdjMIe7tL
"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA1QAaVNYYWq
"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"834Please respect copyright.PENANALMdUCd0XQn
"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAGukUjkk4cS
"Yes, I am." I could 834Please respect copyright.PENANAkMYWNzqXap
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 834Please respect copyright.PENANA2gG0oNtY66
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman834Please respect copyright.PENANAoS1IqRzUSV
perhaps?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAKaRrLhmvqD
I rolled my eyes and as 834Please respect copyright.PENANAvSdGpYb1jQ
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 834Please respect copyright.PENANAoJwlNzDuZ8
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me834Please respect copyright.PENANAeioISulTBR
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.834Please respect copyright.PENANAR7TpDPzCT7
"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.834Please respect copyright.PENANAlqJtPBbWyp
"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."834Please respect copyright.PENANATkhiUllXtH
I bit my lower lip and 834Please respect copyright.PENANAovpApVhgj7
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 834Please respect copyright.PENANA8MTGM8S45H
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.834Please respect copyright.PENANAWuY0ERWQ3j
"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."834Please respect copyright.PENANAD1nGv18rT2
"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA7vWMhC3LE0
"I'm at the mall with Lee."834Please respect copyright.PENANARqz94IRPEl
"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."834Please respect copyright.PENANA4emDlwkIix
"Bye."834Please respect copyright.PENANAzRToOR8DUq
"Bye, my little kitty."834Please respect copyright.PENANA87nKukvY9J
"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.834Please respect copyright.PENANAZzrOmE11ng
"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.834Please respect copyright.PENANA9TVZJ6Tq7c
"So, he isn't with Zoey?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAYQBeYO91zI
"Nope. And he isn't 834Please respect copyright.PENANAKAkEFw7ZkF
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 834Please respect copyright.PENANADWiT7F8mgy
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."834Please respect copyright.PENANA2dYSACHWsM
"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."834Please respect copyright.PENANAYvlOwgbn1d
"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."834Please respect copyright.PENANAmS73oKsymX
"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."834Please respect copyright.PENANAxgdGrskrhH
I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."834Please respect copyright.PENANApaULmg92Gf
Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."834Please respect copyright.PENANA8gsQ8mVyEF
"Tell me about it." I 834Please respect copyright.PENANA86bZEqRXAI
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 834Please respect copyright.PENANAwY6TrrRdA2
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."834Please respect copyright.PENANArvgczINRCW
"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."834Please respect copyright.PENANAJgwOrfsmeg
I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.834Please respect copyright.PENANAbz1jcfVCWi
After we were done with 834Please respect copyright.PENANA3KGCPku09T
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 834Please respect copyright.PENANANOZX2fvXNq
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.834Please respect copyright.PENANAFpl2M6UyNX
As soon as we walked out834Please respect copyright.PENANATAtagaS397
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right834Please respect copyright.PENANAsZbMxXixQg
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 834Please respect copyright.PENANANrlFJaEhSE
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 834Please respect copyright.PENANAZjWsrf50v7
looking black suit stepped out.834Please respect copyright.PENANA7xW1aIGBG2
Time seemed to have 834Please respect copyright.PENANAJoTbL269if
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 834Please respect copyright.PENANA36MfZKgtVo
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 834Please respect copyright.PENANAcHJ6BWAYdh
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 834Please respect copyright.PENANACUQjQK9qU7
something familiar about him.834Please respect copyright.PENANAufzpf76Yhh
Just as I was about to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAZOb4M8Ubd4
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 834Please respect copyright.PENANAQKYRZwbtl7
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.834Please respect copyright.PENANAEGCWNa9gdz
I almost tripped and 834Please respect copyright.PENANAMfln69lK36
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me834Please respect copyright.PENANA77BuOeL0z0
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 834Please respect copyright.PENANAu5Njlm74Jy
me from falling.834Please respect copyright.PENANAn1b1MiJGkl
"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."834Please respect copyright.PENANARefsex00kZ
I didn't say a word as I834Please respect copyright.PENANAW929RimaB0
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbqStSkZz6e
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.834Please respect copyright.PENANAkT6Bvrdk5g
"We need to go back, Lee," I said.834Please respect copyright.PENANAMCwB9x0bPn
"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."834Please respect copyright.PENANAZSTHzO4oZO
"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."834Please respect copyright.PENANAfpB272lcQX
"May I please know what's going on with you?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAe6jERf9yZB
"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."834Please respect copyright.PENANA6gSwUIllWO
***834Please respect copyright.PENANAILTG0BI6sa
Narrator's P.O.V834Please respect copyright.PENANA6faMdFQnWe
Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.834Please respect copyright.PENANAn2HSptwp8U
"Hey guys, am here," 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbCwzJtZHJT
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 834Please respect copyright.PENANA9lYcmzf0w3
look downcast as though someone's just died."834Please respect copyright.PENANAft9a7hGidw
"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.834Please respect copyright.PENANAbU9lEj2kLM
"This is getting real 834Please respect copyright.PENANAo42IgGR9z9
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 834Please respect copyright.PENANAyw1YOZTUYb
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 834Please respect copyright.PENANA86IkokQMyS
her or with anyone of you."834Please respect copyright.PENANAmWqScSvKJO
"No, I think now is the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAKdqEKhpoYg
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the834Please respect copyright.PENANA9FhDB4YlJQ
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."834Please respect copyright.PENANAKqOj7Cpunh
"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.834Please respect copyright.PENANAPgJHvthXuw
"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."834Please respect copyright.PENANAcOvtzGqRuT
"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.834Please respect copyright.PENANADBuVvBhWgB
"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.834Please respect copyright.PENANAbfxa1ASUJ8
"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.834Please respect copyright.PENANA9XM7fYU2H0
"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.834Please respect copyright.PENANAljoWKolHdj
"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."834Please respect copyright.PENANAM9GPjONNYl
The others rolled their 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbCXqsY8qJZ
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 834Please respect copyright.PENANAd3RkJbnwVd
around and now wasn't the time for it.834Please respect copyright.PENANAQurrH2O2qu
"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.834Please respect copyright.PENANAQI5jKFeYs0
"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.834Please respect copyright.PENANAm22rn82gpa
G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.834Please respect copyright.PENANAmY7XULWion
"Well, maybe," said 834Please respect copyright.PENANANOEa4sW26O
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk834Please respect copyright.PENANAFC1fNmzSky
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 834Please respect copyright.PENANAE763nOxG1D
she told me to break things up with Zoey."834Please respect copyright.PENANA0f5jvg0Lf4
"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANA8JhcJ6JF1Z
"When I saw Daesung and 834Please respect copyright.PENANAuqPuSzptkC
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 834Please respect copyright.PENANAkwsukcOIAY
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."834Please respect copyright.PENANA2xg9ATCXWT
"And you still are," said Taeyang.834Please respect copyright.PENANAoBEcn4b7Q3
G-Dragon didn't answer 834Please respect copyright.PENANAwc4xDyuYrM
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 834Please respect copyright.PENANA5l8pRLG8kR
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.834Please respect copyright.PENANAi8SceBYruk
"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."834Please respect copyright.PENANA1VqSPwsg32
"What do you mean?" 834Please respect copyright.PENANAO2vkED35QQ
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 834Please respect copyright.PENANAzdrOttIA68
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."834Please respect copyright.PENANA4KAhs0kQ5u
"She was just doing that834Please respect copyright.PENANAjYcVQU3UVq
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 834Please respect copyright.PENANAjbjMRX7xmx
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 834Please respect copyright.PENANAoKHJHcgstu
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 834Please respect copyright.PENANAhRkjtSCdi8
be together."834Please respect copyright.PENANAdc7pWHfV5x
"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.834Please respect copyright.PENANATkn3Wqq9Tx
"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."834Please respect copyright.PENANA9AXMZMRYvd
All the four BigBang 834Please respect copyright.PENANAIUsrpb3mVd
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there834Please respect copyright.PENANAKq7R3MzXtv
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 834Please respect copyright.PENANAlXIgnAoxIK
heard him come in.834Please respect copyright.PENANACvSzv4mOkY
"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."834Please respect copyright.PENANAFtfCgUHTVP
"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.834Please respect copyright.PENANAbW19d2buKo
"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."834Please respect copyright.PENANAnfdhPtrBaf
"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"834Please respect copyright.PENANABuD5IRktfc
"I'm not going to stay 834Please respect copyright.PENANAYD46gG2CvH
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 834Please respect copyright.PENANA7io7K0YWd8
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."834Please respect copyright.PENANAUR7P5Su3mc
"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.834Please respect copyright.PENANAm8k2nldr0k
"No, I don't."834Please respect copyright.PENANAEf7iufioIl
Before G-Dragon could 834Please respect copyright.PENANAxHV9cUsEBo
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 834Please respect copyright.PENANAaC3YfspeUL
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.834Please respect copyright.PENANABeKNg6Bnfh
"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.834Please respect copyright.PENANAHpVlZ4jZNa
"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.834Please respect copyright.PENANAq55eZHyIfP
"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.834Please respect copyright.PENANAckV3bm2Xch
G-Dragon folded his arms834Please respect copyright.PENANAHzqD0Yeyr0
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 834Please respect copyright.PENANAFqpjpzkPOf
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 834Please respect copyright.PENANAPnDY8hQ6G7
stared at the ceiling.834Please respect copyright.PENANASHYKPUYOKA
"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."834Please respect copyright.PENANAhmgF12dpG3
Daesung came into the 834Please respect copyright.PENANA6AK1D0YKbJ
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 834Please respect copyright.PENANA1RQknU3p1i
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.834Please respect copyright.PENANAAaKy7MGe6D
"Look, I know you're 834Please respect copyright.PENANA98xOKhOE30
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first834Please respect copyright.PENANAYCmEyYzR5X
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 834Please respect copyright.PENANA5gjiwokqO0
never told me anything either."834Please respect copyright.PENANAAzBkZN8lMm
"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.834Please respect copyright.PENANAQlN2I6HP5B
"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."834Please respect copyright.PENANAsAiLlgxvjV
"Why?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAfca3CdneJD
"She just felt like it 834Please respect copyright.PENANABQ3HLYntZJ
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbjApY8ILi3
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks834Please respect copyright.PENANA84pSLK347F
long distance relationships will ever work out."834Please respect copyright.PENANAOi9gXtcz87
"Then, why did you kiss her?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAv4x6spGyZt
"Because I know I'll 834Please respect copyright.PENANAWAn0HZxwgp
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great834Please respect copyright.PENANAtZg8UKoFjW
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 834Please respect copyright.PENANAM5NGvTiqYY
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 834Please respect copyright.PENANALWgHPLFpNP
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 834Please respect copyright.PENANA34Ihtjg0uq
want to hurt anyone either.834Please respect copyright.PENANAZUG6l3s7Fr
"Maybe that's why she 834Please respect copyright.PENANA6Tl8Zgcxpr
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 834Please respect copyright.PENANAwgeKdY26Tu
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss834Please respect copyright.PENANASTTlkzQ4qq
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."834Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2Fv0YShs7
"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.834Please respect copyright.PENANA5aNOVPFGMX
"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAZKYHvGQJU2
"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.834Please respect copyright.PENANAhYd1JZPoc4
"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."834Please respect copyright.PENANAAVF5lonSPX
"I know."834Please respect copyright.PENANAnGnQlEtoU0
"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAyXHCFWVUMi
"I'll think about it."834Please respect copyright.PENANA5qz7Ksf9de
"No, no, no!" Seungri 834Please respect copyright.PENANADO6V2qvSQd
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you834Please respect copyright.PENANAb15ijAD381
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAfxTgjTWKVK
the mall."834Please respect copyright.PENANAxYVloqrd2Z
Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.834Please respect copyright.PENANA8dhQrCnEeS
"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAQyZPXc8IKS
"Ya," said Seungri, 834Please respect copyright.PENANAscdqYZuGlM
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 834Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2raxfCMDA
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."834Please respect copyright.PENANAUFMZRyeRny
"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."834Please respect copyright.PENANA5Oor5kLI17
"There is no time to 834Please respect copyright.PENANANDn8EzOYdu
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 834Please respect copyright.PENANAoGfIoqg7eJ
this to Sam. It's not right at all."834Please respect copyright.PENANArZALBLR9eV
"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."834Please respect copyright.PENANAzgE8fbRAvN
"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."834Please respect copyright.PENANATDup8NV26f
"We're your best 834Please respect copyright.PENANAC6BEi53yew
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 834Please respect copyright.PENANANH29L7QbUJ
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."834Please respect copyright.PENANAHQjVnJbC9b
"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.834Please respect copyright.PENANA9sMCMPpxgC

Zoey's P.O.V834Please respect copyright.PENANA9A3iHrmg54
I came out of the black 834Please respect copyright.PENANAw6Mfe1pOYt
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 834Please respect copyright.PENANArrKDxFFwlG
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 834Please respect copyright.PENANAcBlFBiyuPs
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 834Please respect copyright.PENANAjAQCAQI1hH
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 834Please respect copyright.PENANAvBNDlvXqeA
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 834Please respect copyright.PENANAmDJNX76Dzf
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 834Please respect copyright.PENANAVulBfdXibW
by my fans.834Please respect copyright.PENANAN3mS2ejikW
I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.834Please respect copyright.PENANA4V8sFlwToO
"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.834Please respect copyright.PENANAfrg4824EC5
"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAfYviLz84J1
"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."834Please respect copyright.PENANAfVeylLO5hy
"Okay."834Please respect copyright.PENANA4Sh9FVYITB
"Did you bring what I asked for?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAsGgZr9SWVn
I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."834Please respect copyright.PENANAhj6AOBtqFE
"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."834Please respect copyright.PENANAwL9LjTucaa
"Well, I'm glad you 834Please respect copyright.PENANAoXchLucjLF
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbhFo5HwxTv
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 834Please respect copyright.PENANAOJOvClG0u9
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 834Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z5MV68SZe
lot smarter than you think."834Please respect copyright.PENANArEpR9tB4gZ
"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.834Please respect copyright.PENANAUpuImoJDrN
"Mr Grumpy is such a 834Please respect copyright.PENANA6vY6VruVWN
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 834Please respect copyright.PENANAZYkIEpF5HH
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.834Please respect copyright.PENANAAEajU33lkU
When I went into the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAuMMXiVZ2xD
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 834Please respect copyright.PENANAfGuWuxLWqh
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.834Please respect copyright.PENANAO9lSHmyd4I
I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.834Please respect copyright.PENANAF8FCSbuGL1
"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.834Please respect copyright.PENANAAe8vjoEkBq
"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.834Please respect copyright.PENANAics5rm5pbx
I shivered. Despite his 834Please respect copyright.PENANANcdlBbngqK
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 834Please respect copyright.PENANA3M43s1JPpv
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 834Please respect copyright.PENANAXqhBkMYdhD
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 834Please respect copyright.PENANA7QuLlNjX1I
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.834Please respect copyright.PENANAgsM5qetMbo
"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."834Please respect copyright.PENANApzhHJnMxHS
"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAPW0adch9UX
"Why do you need to 834Please respect copyright.PENANA07gnYPnxxj
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 834Please respect copyright.PENANAM4jlXHO2Ba
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.834Please respect copyright.PENANAsylcBGppIY
"Well, I need to know 834Please respect copyright.PENANAG6StNmmUHP
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 834Please respect copyright.PENANA2akvlmtE0P
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.834Please respect copyright.PENANAqOOS8OgjCg
"And tell me, why should834Please respect copyright.PENANAH9A9lb6394
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 834Please respect copyright.PENANAZpVGloF2or
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 834Please respect copyright.PENANADlqAWB1xmE
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 834Please respect copyright.PENANAGDW3pZwpLB
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.834Please respect copyright.PENANAXzR81KEsUv
"I...eh..." I looked him834Please respect copyright.PENANA4TtRNcsSov
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 834Please respect copyright.PENANAqRZqmQocrs
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 834Please respect copyright.PENANAYHLcUmsGuB
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 834Please respect copyright.PENANAcu8gPB7DoD
the kind who would send such a thing."834Please respect copyright.PENANAz9qZIxG0k5
"Oh, really?" Jehan 834Please respect copyright.PENANA0dEasQlO8C
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 834Please respect copyright.PENANAHeFdCEk707
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA1dLk3xPaa1
"I don't know." I 834Please respect copyright.PENANANApckwvwCs
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 834Please respect copyright.PENANAGIfizqXtuJ
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you834Please respect copyright.PENANAoBLW96Mr9Z
up to?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAaaX7aIBKcg
Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.834Please respect copyright.PENANAzFbjldQCbb
"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."834Please respect copyright.PENANADaf3PASJ1g
"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAsaOl7n14DL
"What's the matter with that?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAS1W5oBNQKg
"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."834Please respect copyright.PENANAXFHtr8FvaL
"Don't test my patience,834Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ5cYAXDc4
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 834Please respect copyright.PENANA2CkJW1gU0Z
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 834Please respect copyright.PENANAzMlhJdz4K8
think you deserve to you know."834Please respect copyright.PENANAZB0Ujrr8GZ
"Well, yes, I do."834Please respect copyright.PENANAe8hnbo1BnK
Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."834Please respect copyright.PENANARKYWl9bvlE

across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 834Please respect copyright.PENANAwGFOT8kEda
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and834Please respect copyright.PENANAorOqdBEj1W
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 834Please respect copyright.PENANAFtFyQoq0jz

followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed834Please respect copyright.PENANAFqnMnKpil0
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 834Please respect copyright.PENANAOYOXT6pauX
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 834Please respect copyright.PENANAYNkHsxupaF
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.834Please respect copyright.PENANAlKQrfz9lx5
"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."834Please respect copyright.PENANAR4IINvUWdc
"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.834Please respect copyright.PENANAep1Hv236Mk
"But how did you know 834Please respect copyright.PENANAIHpBMJ9wlX
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 834Please respect copyright.PENANAUUVPqGtoXD
photo you showed me never revealed his face."834Please respect copyright.PENANAZKrDkmMLF4
"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."834Please respect copyright.PENANAOUWeVMd5yy
Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAwGyWomn68y
"Well, ya," I said as I 834Please respect copyright.PENANATTGEdEitxe
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 834Please respect copyright.PENANAoKzxVeahPE
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 834Please respect copyright.PENANAreYsoNyW0F
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."834Please respect copyright.PENANAluNkeiK2s6
Lee turned to the window834Please respect copyright.PENANAepUEzgn9Sc
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like834Please respect copyright.PENANAn9MRzNw3Ye
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."834Please respect copyright.PENANAAq4FkQ7it6
"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."834Please respect copyright.PENANA44jCCFnpn6
"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."834Please respect copyright.PENANAOuH9QtH7x3
"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."834Please respect copyright.PENANA7riLNf5A8w
"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."834Please respect copyright.PENANA88HsCDuFTv
"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.834Please respect copyright.PENANAZuXCHpROf8
Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.834Please respect copyright.PENANASlVfxmECtO
"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.834Please respect copyright.PENANAIU1etQ96vE
We made sure to keep a 834Please respect copyright.PENANAtRbZxaqvGA
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 834Please respect copyright.PENANAqGRX7YkiCc
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 834Please respect copyright.PENANAffIqV6PIXo
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 834Please respect copyright.PENANAxvayVmuFmj
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.834Please respect copyright.PENANAiqhVN3Nhyl
They went down the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAPAPJn4sEhs
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 834Please respect copyright.PENANAz9DhmYji00
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 834Please respect copyright.PENANAJDosV3BdHi
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.834Please respect copyright.PENANAFuiwmC8EwC
They were led by a 834Please respect copyright.PENANA0AncFxFSim
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 834Please respect copyright.PENANAPH7zUu3tQ8
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 834Please respect copyright.PENANArDICfwwRsZ
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 834Please respect copyright.PENANAPsft1MH9Ly
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 834Please respect copyright.PENANA16qqQ7m5nj
restaurant.834Please respect copyright.PENANATcha0dMlDg
"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.834Please respect copyright.PENANAbNSPgAKZd9
"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.834Please respect copyright.PENANAhgvTI5dgJ5
"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."834Please respect copyright.PENANAHFEKaSEfIh
"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA8TvoeYAExu
"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."834Please respect copyright.PENANA6q6q31ls45
"Me neither. But what to834Please respect copyright.PENANASq8mfuZAAP
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 834Please respect copyright.PENANAc8SU6GzIqK
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.834Please respect copyright.PENANACpFroT39O1
I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.834Please respect copyright.PENANAEkp7qbVeVD
"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.834Please respect copyright.PENANAlVHzvKCKYq
"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAdKvnh8ZIiZ
My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAFCSiGlAXMd
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."834Please respect copyright.PENANAOzUR1RGyGE
Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.834Please respect copyright.PENANA1ow9mgqu0y
"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"834Please respect copyright.PENANATpEVnH1uwD
"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."834Please respect copyright.PENANA0bRZm2HD6s
"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.834Please respect copyright.PENANAvH1yWamOIO
"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAN5YzncuiHn
"Don't worry. Seungri 834Please respect copyright.PENANAxWZ2vsEtXu
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 834Please respect copyright.PENANAxFl6mfmK9E
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 834Please respect copyright.PENANAFL5ejVNMoi
and she will know something fishy is going on."834Please respect copyright.PENANA41vWPffVzn
"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."834Please respect copyright.PENANA1NFf18ywLg
"I hope so too."834Please respect copyright.PENANAhL0CCjoxYY
***834Please respect copyright.PENANA4HIzPqFk51
Zoey's P.O.V834Please respect copyright.PENANAIrzOCGTHNA
I looked at the menu and834Please respect copyright.PENANADcCgogRJpm
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAoUvAmR6JUD
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the834Please respect copyright.PENANAkEjoJcB07D
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he834Please respect copyright.PENANA2pxooJtgcj
looked up at me.834Please respect copyright.PENANAugGVzRpYKY
"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.834Please respect copyright.PENANAIKe9B5fAcX
"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.834Please respect copyright.PENANA1wjuao1h8d
"Why?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAWZIQGbeqda
I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.834Please respect copyright.PENANA8fHWjVxmRx
"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."834Please respect copyright.PENANAn828QlFja5
"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.834Please respect copyright.PENANAPHILO5qu5l
I growled. "Stop that, will you?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAqpYKy7ZQkl
"What?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAEZI0TlbLmA
"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."834Please respect copyright.PENANA06vJzvA6IU
"I'll try not to next 834Please respect copyright.PENANAimaIy2mNob
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan834Please respect copyright.PENANAVBeMo85uNw
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.834Please respect copyright.PENANA9XDgwQcsFv
"Now, are you going to tell me?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAPU1UQHn3oo
"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."834Please respect copyright.PENANAsbkBJKVc2P
"Not tell anyone."834Please respect copyright.PENANAhfYEDjhdph
Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."834Please respect copyright.PENANAZKgk2yUPtk
"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."834Please respect copyright.PENANAXRJlHGcXP7
"I smuggle diamonds."834Please respect copyright.PENANAPL7ydotHdn
My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.834Please respect copyright.PENANASK9KQAR8SR
"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.834Please respect copyright.PENANASeX9a0w5Us
"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."834Please respect copyright.PENANAXJSTZgEKeG
"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA6I5z8y6pTD
"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."834Please respect copyright.PENANATUmCCVwQTC
The waiter came with our834Please respect copyright.PENANAHPgzwmq3fS
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 834Please respect copyright.PENANACSbS6zc5oT
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.834Please respect copyright.PENANAOx9ILMcthD
"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."834Please respect copyright.PENANALQviFBMzgk
"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."834Please respect copyright.PENANA7QWtOtB6cO
"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."834Please respect copyright.PENANA9x5VtHTJTu
"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."834Please respect copyright.PENANAbsHz8WSVqB
"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.834Please respect copyright.PENANALaXSvtLl0y
"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.834Please respect copyright.PENANAIRNBJUZe6g
"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."834Please respect copyright.PENANAAnGkxrq6Yv
"Is that why you're so rich?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAAdcTuOnDBM
"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."834Please respect copyright.PENANANnBh1ZVYU9
"That's being greedy, don't you think?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAuxu3BQEFxM
Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."834Please respect copyright.PENANAen4INNAmcM
I gulped. He was giving 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbM1HYQ540E
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would834Please respect copyright.PENANAtVYZtgOm7J
manage to get out of this lunch, alive.834Please respect copyright.PENANAZAK68YG18R
***834Please respect copyright.PENANAorqTZFJ2yR
Sam's P.O.V834Please respect copyright.PENANAjbdDlacywb
I was waiting by the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAWarrskCDBD
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 834Please respect copyright.PENANAGoU6hyIKGr
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 834Please respect copyright.PENANAnqtfOaSYxC
car? What was he doing here?834Please respect copyright.PENANAgmGfVt39x1
Seungri came out of the 834Please respect copyright.PENANAiWNJmy4bV7
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 834Please respect copyright.PENANA2dkj4ArOyI
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 834Please respect copyright.PENANAmqthSQanqQ
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when834Please respect copyright.PENANAl0yWlGAQzW
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 834Please respect copyright.PENANAFCzwrmKZvz
what I was expecting.834Please respect copyright.PENANAei0wFFIe1y
I trembled. What am I 834Please respect copyright.PENANAA4qZBNtvoM
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 834Please respect copyright.PENANAGy1Azs0Wj2
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 834Please respect copyright.PENANA2jyaQFsp9L
give Mr Teddy away.834Please respect copyright.PENANAfezemV1Wyb
"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAqWkv8WAeln
"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!834Please respect copyright.PENANAkkcgqkEp7L
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."834Please respect copyright.PENANAmXhYZ4qax5
"I, no....I," I didn't 834Please respect copyright.PENANAzNnsFFHiOU
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to834Please respect copyright.PENANACjC9k8Twsl
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?834Please respect copyright.PENANAZHLxnh5sK0
"I was only expecting 834Please respect copyright.PENANAWJCk0Y49Me
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 834Please respect copyright.PENANAeTKQEt8q78
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 834Please respect copyright.PENANAOvf9d1amyd
seeing the two of them together.834Please respect copyright.PENANAm5SNZdCwXu
"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.834Please respect copyright.PENANAj6ukZLuoQr
"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.834Please respect copyright.PENANAhIXXg4cRlj
"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."834Please respect copyright.PENANAbKkzMdiylt
"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."834Please respect copyright.PENANAwfDsW29QDP
"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ80tZyXyJ
"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."834Please respect copyright.PENANAur4lWMYF5F
"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.834Please respect copyright.PENANAMR3Md163Vv
"Come with me," I said 834Please respect copyright.PENANAiZz6juHqoT
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 834Please respect copyright.PENANA2xOKUg3B1f
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 834Please respect copyright.PENANAoy3e23Rilv
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.834Please respect copyright.PENANAlLiTmXaWm9
When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.834Please respect copyright.PENANANbM57bu4fi
"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.834Please respect copyright.PENANAIRQGf97H1p
"Hi, guys. You're 834Please respect copyright.PENANAS3tuGCdM58
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 834Please respect copyright.PENANAJR9vV9cwEW
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."834Please respect copyright.PENANA5cT3gf3M3N
"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."834Please respect copyright.PENANAdco0dzkpQc
"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAkPFtrdTBki
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.834Please respect copyright.PENANAF2eJ373sgy
"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAeDwsY4NNPW
The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.834Please respect copyright.PENANA8SpPYYN8Oi
"Well, if you look into 834Please respect copyright.PENANAOrnxTUhHwV
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 834Please respect copyright.PENANARTaCQVkgXx
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."834Please respect copyright.PENANAXUZcgEJ5Ix
The five all turned to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAj3g6D88DGl
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbDPEMZ8wb3
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 834Please respect copyright.PENANAzHuDgAXAXc
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.834Please respect copyright.PENANAQWEvfDLo8Z
"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."834Please respect copyright.PENANAaF2nCHzWhV
Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAoHhedURG5P
"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA3jGjCXmAIl
"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."834Please respect copyright.PENANAqLrW8u97Vv
"We were also wondering 834Please respect copyright.PENANAgkXMo5SZ6q
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 834Please respect copyright.PENANAjsKb8OrIIl
them, but decided that I would rather not."834Please respect copyright.PENANAuCXWjtS1YM
"Why?" Daesung asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAkS9i6Fg7gg
"Well, Zoey seems to be 834Please respect copyright.PENANAUvIziDeBDF
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 834Please respect copyright.PENANAoBS3uBu96t
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 834Please respect copyright.PENANAKUGlToSDK3
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."834Please respect copyright.PENANAJgOcV9Ydw2
"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.834Please respect copyright.PENANA3D0yOOfHYX
"Huh? Wait a minute," 834Please respect copyright.PENANAhOWZ7r2ppE
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 834Please respect copyright.PENANABZTumqfPuD
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."834Please respect copyright.PENANAXpWOv5kNUP
"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAfjFPWtaVnM
"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."834Please respect copyright.PENANAu5Ml9Q9OZJ
Everyone turned to look 834Please respect copyright.PENANA9GM8wlVvKA
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 834Please respect copyright.PENANA8dxwJp8lUy
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 834Please respect copyright.PENANAh6d6XQPiAw
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.834Please respect copyright.PENANA3WDc29DVA5
"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.834Please respect copyright.PENANAaOfUfZdkHd
Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."834Please respect copyright.PENANAmYWQXvv2SX
"Here you're now 834Please respect copyright.PENANA1MeRxHnTSv
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 834Please respect copyright.PENANAStGu6Gtzye
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.834Please respect copyright.PENANAMscHJ4PkHY
"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.834Please respect copyright.PENANAKqHEWJtrfH
"I'll talk with G-Dragon834Please respect copyright.PENANAEUXjXDAw7m
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 834Please respect copyright.PENANAk7GTnhOz4O
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 834Please respect copyright.PENANA4e91Q7sYgQ
something, quick.834Please respect copyright.PENANAS9hiGxdstJ
"Okay, fine, we will 834Please respect copyright.PENANADwflDwVh1G
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 834Please respect copyright.PENANA5t5TOrGCHq
into the restaurant and meet the guy."834Please respect copyright.PENANACnUOgMJOdm
Yes. Finally. I thought 834Please respect copyright.PENANAU0pxoY42YL
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 834Please respect copyright.PENANAqiYpbuV9kq
everything was going to be delayed.834Please respect copyright.PENANADQKQWl6834
"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."834Please respect copyright.PENANAygVtWqUkjk
"We will wait out here," said Daesung.834Please respect copyright.PENANACpu8ipfUFP
Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.834Please respect copyright.PENANAwwPoDH5QMo
"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAgVHFbCJ1d3
As much as I wanted to 834Please respect copyright.PENANA0dDheME6p6
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 834Please respect copyright.PENANAbc2XmJCHBj
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.834Please respect copyright.PENANAHlcnGqGVXH
***834Please respect copyright.PENANAOadfxXbhdD
Zoey's P.O.V834Please respect copyright.PENANAVsLwkGOQ7s
As much as I tried to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAH4dOk2SVqn
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place834Please respect copyright.PENANAaNSXq7wiRa
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 834Please respect copyright.PENANAwcmyQneI3l
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 834Please respect copyright.PENANARZjrQKQ22B
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.834Please respect copyright.PENANAlFmBi0sZAQ
"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAje2U9pymn3
"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.834Please respect copyright.PENANAfzOa9LRdSI
"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.834Please respect copyright.PENANAAQAaklKrlf
"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."834Please respect copyright.PENANAd9OicCPMUl
"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.834Please respect copyright.PENANAVVwVM3HeHw
"What do you want me to 834Please respect copyright.PENANAHyVjlKHUNv
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 834Please respect copyright.PENANAQDKWCXFXJE
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 834Please respect copyright.PENANANju9LNHaPc
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."834Please respect copyright.PENANAwcmNfrl4Ub
"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."834Please respect copyright.PENANAsKLFqIIp9X
"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."834Please respect copyright.PENANAmhIcCPx2Ta
Jehan shook his head and834Please respect copyright.PENANA3iGa0RdDjX
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how834Please respect copyright.PENANA1A2Z45DxFU
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 834Please respect copyright.PENANAt30V4r4MxC
annoying."834Please respect copyright.PENANA7exRx6DHzH
"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."834Please respect copyright.PENANAD06BSKFxo7
"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"834Please respect copyright.PENANACHp9r6y2aF
"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."834Please respect copyright.PENANAUdVBey5Z5f
"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.834Please respect copyright.PENANA3WKPoXDIHS
"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."834Please respect copyright.PENANAiXcLVMbmtT
Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA7LbnjlqN1m
"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."834Please respect copyright.PENANAk2rkwGkIFz
Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAGDMYpDfjMt
"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."834Please respect copyright.PENANAlDBhLA98Ox
Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.834Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ8YdUmuJN
"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.834Please respect copyright.PENANAa3vlMqjB1y
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.834Please respect copyright.PENANA0hfbH3YMzE
"Yes, for real."834Please respect copyright.PENANAiXRSlacNIq
"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAxqCyDBP8qT
"Yes. Maybe we will meet834Please respect copyright.PENANAMTO2GcemZu
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that834Please respect copyright.PENANAiY4Vlrrq2b
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."834Please respect copyright.PENANA70XpNirk5e
"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA4OYlIOKrME
"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."834Please respect copyright.PENANAQf73AJSkVx
"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.834Please respect copyright.PENANAbJrqbJkNzv
"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.834Please respect copyright.PENANA22tmemxUD9
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.834Please respect copyright.PENANA6VeIyS7DXk
Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.834Please respect copyright.PENANAkZXsbTcVNF
"Zoey, hey!"834Please respect copyright.PENANArXQlvXmQkI
Seungri? I quickly 834Please respect copyright.PENANAhWF76EeMMR
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 834Please respect copyright.PENANAeEgfrbMCfD
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 834Please respect copyright.PENANAFkmN9hwTS3
here?834Please respect copyright.PENANAhxeu0NfrVr
They came over to our 834Please respect copyright.PENANAeGX07hFzJA
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 834Please respect copyright.PENANAvIOq9a4wdy
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim834Please respect copyright.PENANAWOjjGcqqNB
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 834Please respect copyright.PENANAlBULJOw7qt
to do now?834Please respect copyright.PENANAzpLKAPQXJB
"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"834Please respect copyright.PENANA21amVNuJRj
"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."834Please respect copyright.PENANAmSFQydqo4F
"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAaTGh2glbuJ
"Jehan."834Please respect copyright.PENANAleQkXQksGI
"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."834Please respect copyright.PENANAa8zZ6glyDe
"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."834Please respect copyright.PENANAb9PHoJ2y89
"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"834Please respect copyright.PENANAefeOW42ZaF
"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."834Please respect copyright.PENANA6k1nZ0veUO
"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.834Please respect copyright.PENANAT9tbFbF2mM
"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.834Please respect copyright.PENANABJwO7Q9zT1
"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAfwKd3aizrZ
I almost spit out the 834Please respect copyright.PENANACRAs09Kh2Q
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 834Please respect copyright.PENANAgKoZNy3lfb
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 834Please respect copyright.PENANAM2Q4HDSf7q
to water.834Please respect copyright.PENANAUl32QIvjRa
"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.834Please respect copyright.PENANAGVhGcWRCNY
"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?834Please respect copyright.PENANAUk7GDEVWep
"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.834Please respect copyright.PENANAdHvmOU2Bgg
Jehan looked at me and I834Please respect copyright.PENANATRXOFJgwMP
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 834Please respect copyright.PENANATSkbS5q2LG
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.834Please respect copyright.PENANA1nPG8dSgNU
"May I ask what you're 834Please respect copyright.PENANAUpZ1Ed1FPR
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 834Please respect copyright.PENANAoSVotesqwx
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.834Please respect copyright.PENANAq7W3Gwuqui
"Oh, we just came here 834Please respect copyright.PENANAY9bpu7ApSk
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 834Please respect copyright.PENANA3mbhvWLnjt
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."834Please respect copyright.PENANAsuUewAMjex
"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."834Please respect copyright.PENANADLUcaaL5hO
"No, you didn't," said Jehan.834Please respect copyright.PENANAe1JGzxiO3u
Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.834Please respect copyright.PENANAetKbAy7F5T
"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."834Please respect copyright.PENANAyrczhOgx58
"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."834Please respect copyright.PENANAuin5wx1P7W
"Yes, we will," said 834Please respect copyright.PENANA1fkzW4soeq
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the834Please respect copyright.PENANAqepi8q6FDk
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.834Please respect copyright.PENANA8CZptuW5jk
"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."834Please respect copyright.PENANAEHjkugH3BR
"You too," said Seungri.834Please respect copyright.PENANALq3EriPeCp
Jehan gave a small smile834Please respect copyright.PENANAmpMLJOyYW9
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 834Please respect copyright.PENANAkjIOeTcv0T
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the834Please respect copyright.PENANACVkCXfRO7j
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?834Please respect copyright.PENANAj2Dqu9y8TD
"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."834Please respect copyright.PENANABVCgtDbizy
"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.834Please respect copyright.PENANARGskPpriaN
"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.834Please respect copyright.PENANAnFbK57H7kc
"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.834Please respect copyright.PENANAybVrdRWT3f
I wondered how I was 834Please respect copyright.PENANAF5K2161Ya9
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 834Please respect copyright.PENANAjvdNH6po5T
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 834Please respect copyright.PENANAM30SiqQOmw
head until I give the teddy bear away.834Please respect copyright.PENANAqU8m89a6Ll
This was just great!
