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

Sunday was quiet and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyHT0xNqUY
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMe8eX1sM6
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlscw2XmDDD
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyNg1adzm7
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8DAjx5vXG

Last night, Zoey moved 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlHwAtJSCR
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cdk0kvyxr
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmQmMGM32v
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56e2lD5X6r
talk to her either.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyvdiHjUID

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyDvzbEqeT

It so happened that 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkRkc16jpo
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vlTsj1pcj
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb1UCdFk3y
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPwvI8iI9J
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF1wJLNinF
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDB7BcLqYZ

Now, I was sitting 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp6FFza3ug
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1E1nU4Yn5
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VWqhi107e
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGbEHmpUkV
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtRTxd26kn

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmXFcwfVVo

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsjbWN1BOM

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU68VWSn8v

"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?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu8tYXxveE

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJqtskfIkp

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJHxEV0a0j

"Lee!" I whined, putting1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1iGqRE5VT
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h64NJKEOa
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4hZZaPsNc

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjDDbLCDcL

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpEvK6roDR

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWAULT3JE0

"Why? I want to stay here."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TaS2lvmJw

"I need to go and shop 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEXYWHBSqT
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfDo23TnNs
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8LuAEA5h3

"But watching YouTube 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTEbgriP5L
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1NHTz48Lp
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPqgVDxY0E

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCIyj9FPXu

"I think Lee is right, 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTGSN8c8VA
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89vbAZI1dG
out on Sundays like you do back home."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvvoBE7K2O

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn6AECBe0q

"I know you're a fan of 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSro1KamFH
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFdFkywA4u
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcEOLlCa7p

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD9ZMQKpp6

"Well, that's what 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayMoRK6rZP
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3cRXlSRbP
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozdAHdbjL2

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HagleZCOn

"That's what we are 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoEppaBtMN
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU06fgiG3BJ
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEc0kFuEoa
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt1PBVxnGn

Daniel's right. I had to1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4US8TxNJD
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY92Pob1ak
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM9KtRomKd
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZA00SZitm

Unlike the others, Lee 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W9VTgLI4e
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAoNDyVq9Q
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71DjKcttUn
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIw3g16Fxv
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEsndqKuGy
and Zoey together.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf9W19L7bT

I really wanted to tell 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhnEe4SGaA
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BBDjf4Hb6
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEMFfR01hm
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACO9EKsVTq
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xfFiiuszO
When was I ever going to change?1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Fr20gAfQ

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi0rl8H70H

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Op8ooaOJ

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwiLWO6rfL

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQg2FmHhqD

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZYv4PxPCf

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xr4P2la4W
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyS6KvtMit
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuIgBLqxoj
my room to get my shoes.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMH9vCKsoa

After I wore my white 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQNjXfieBb
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5cbpyrwRr
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIHlVp6Bvv
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZwfcanMPb
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfdRaxwgOP
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6H1QAHi3j

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXm2PURkG5

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaMe7dx2TP

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUL6N9ogcL

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBf4PfW7gp

"We can go, now," I told her.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkRgpXoSGL

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG76T9qCrIV

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnnaWSSNg6

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQTN8BMuMy

I smiled back at him. 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyFvFemGxB
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45WUR6tMAU
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dOrjvl6dS
guards in the other SUV.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuwb555H6U

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQyXIDUxIp

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUk08aShGe

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LR1d4BbLb

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRXBa0Dn5j

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvmVbYjog1

"To the mall," Lee answered.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l97S71c1I

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUCPdZu7Xd

"What's wrong with the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZFZkoKBP7
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6PBY4H40i
best plans just come out of the blue."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGnH9qVtiD

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEJGecDiIQ

"And waste the day away? No way."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtz1mYG4en

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4uahSIYCL

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79uycwksYX

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjJxPKyace

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMKbk5gvzw

"No. Zoey might have 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedohkEh7eW
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD9enRjMfJ
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPgoix6HTV
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A6Msdma2X

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYKCLcs7Uq

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXw9HsKO3g

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQavRqksiLR

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l021di3RL

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHdz1mQ0RI

"I don't know what to do1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcUj9fOV2Y
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOd6SOKYL1
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd90p2iJ2qy
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6J7A1Bz6M
somehow."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY9OpBovFY

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPIdkBefz6

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETIBJeh1CN

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdB703Wd1Q

I folded my arms as I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPMYTrugY1
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr5rPbT8Me
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPXWVPvC5U
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlNdLsQ0eZ
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXgnQOa8vM

We soon reached the mall1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGXD5NPK9o
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbZyco3HcC
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Eb8d1Qr00
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oIYBZzUgs
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMQCbINMJ6
the bodyguards were around.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgwhMnUSsg

Lee and I first went 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLelDSXkIEu
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BrdvHCZfp
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42gZDg8fOq
a while. I was having fun.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1aHhIhJ9y

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.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡife37YDJIc

Lee and I soon came out 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nPw1I6aUw
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK37T1Ro6HF
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g3gNy6OQy
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudju6xzALo
our bags because we bought way too much.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGYzJa66Lk

When we walked out of 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVoM815CO1
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4lKNpJDEm
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgFgH3Z4zi
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXxsUs1EGn
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEajfKSQMsr

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYico1Xffw

I couldn't answer Lee. I1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDH3ou8S1c
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2EjWY4y6j
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUJ1tk3IQ0

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvJTsq09CR

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtUUfYjgi4

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKlRn0etfL

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVXSkKTHBn

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3itP59ZyN

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmDOwhY0r4

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHEcbFAIB7

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoaafu4o54

I looked at each and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5eNpcU9Gx
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhNzdlrcRw
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN7h0NrXmB

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NF9muEhK3

"What?" Lee looked 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkrF1BDVJJ
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUREhGdW5VV
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMSf4N2ZuH
panda."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlMNMVK2cO

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3meccJlUm

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PEHaOU57W

"Derrick's brother sent 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7WpSdkHIC
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvsHtd250b
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA31ElmDoDd
bear."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JKFli8Ho5

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwQPCAwH2p

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquco1FWpOD

"I don't get it though."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOed86ojJU
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbXxXnAXBE
so concerned about that small teddy?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MngasxE4q

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgdwC2T4is

***1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15yZ6SmkAA

Zoey's P.O.V1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCF9fOFcEV

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlNLvUoAmp

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtYdOIMM8i

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bB8vcrOOL

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXhbgNcWGY

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtsKxMouu2

"You moved out of the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsrc9qfQnW
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqX7m9DaBy
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVEON5lKo8
of alien or something."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGphq778H1

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9LuQZCi39

In a quick flash, a 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsZyXAAJyI
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ5zzITziG
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuLrDSvIiE

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANH9rD2qzL

"Do you want more of 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4ovnZYAs7
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KMMibtRl1
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lyh2g7SHe

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn14yc1aFvO

"You got that right." 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVPMKfpdb6
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6BbfvE8Me
ignore her like you're doing forever."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7VeqAqXqt

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3txLl7VBJp

"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."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhCEvq0U96

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw4nQLJL87

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9naUOFnOr

"It's normal for someone1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4npsCZMEgA
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy2fHtIM3E
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsbM0y2CQM
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzAqowuGN2
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pz8ea3KGL
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBjaNF6lrL

I always hated such kind1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VI7uUWTze
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeicOPEfmg
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkcOUWC2D8
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nd8lNf4A0
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oRKtBa7ui
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89cFKGzvyE
nothing.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RifOu8wIT

I've never told anyone 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi7kIaFskt
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSgx0x14u5
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDPFbTvHE0
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKfDNkkrtp
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34QPV9E4bT
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSxhPUgvwo
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfcZQO8CV9

I am Yin and she is 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYG17qIkxt
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckXgyn4GKn
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxwekNA9UL
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IwUwtPgI8
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUHFwQQB5p

And now when I needed 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4govZYeIZ
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQDknLEzCq
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4fI1ow2BP
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cnEKHyzfa
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVfqJ77AEC
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q15BMfsSc

It all begun when I went1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8u3lj5rOv
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOiPWyJIar
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT53WKRzG7V
this mess.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFWuzdu3Xr

We were having so much 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJcJYP69tJ
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7NQurMByL
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Ca8AGt94
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGhlzcL5cN
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGd30ybAL7
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Ou9f1hoa
things did go wrong.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VSN4EHRb2

As we were watching the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OgKoe15MM
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Oq0cFRtw
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpTx3osAzb
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYFuduzyj3

When I looked at him, he1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2uoB7zqwF
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhTtjjDXPh
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9kyVErt8x
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KkLZlgGc4
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhfqolCZET
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLSk7ZpZHi

After the show when 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAju9MeZiDM
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfbt0nuqxS
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvcFHXJ9Ok
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeyBhDl7Tn
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6LM2lG3FH
take a few minutes.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoJnLJfOnF

I didn't find anything 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujRJjHDKp6
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvRQ8y4Te4
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYxj5sv6Kd
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rzilkRwAS
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xMqlbsd1i
too much.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEZxw6o1rV

Jehan led the way out 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5z8KrJjLp
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwokN6dh6i5
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqV61tU3Ld
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMB8TUnQr0
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmslEMQbewe
that I felt a little safe.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmsUOxPvXD

The two of us soon found1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYVbKexBiI
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTHiZXlQKc
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Ss40kP2Z
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu3PwceXdR
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8MgZjN4Jl
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZe2mCFUNc
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbou7bOd7k8
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvFrpKMzN8
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5w4BdoFAQ
menacing.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZESI7Rq2SO

He gave me something for1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MQLHQJCB4
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQP8dFmRS3
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBp9c8YOoN
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq9LdFUvmf
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMCfjeGFcm
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9duAC2HG5
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSqSSppIbj

Whatever he sent me that1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR71moTEhjN
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnjaQ4NKUS
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCQTh8b04s
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA8Uh8xrom
happened yesterday.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb9eX2pI5j

I had never been in this1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AN7oBQh0u
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9O6xFa6dj
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYuZy3zrzn
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP5eaiC4Ke
crying out loud. I had to do something.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkO7st8auT

My phone rang bringing 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx8A7bJC0B
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5kjBKWxUK
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30FTqrQAzY
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IJYxjJcLm

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiTEFBaGpH

"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.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxjESQz8ng

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqgpi002GR

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFDKugde9u

I would have told him to1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNYVkC7100
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeOMsPXs8s
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtwuCvHuvJ

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKddpEpCIZ9

"Looks like you aren't 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjflayT0Gy
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6njCF0qQk
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pNWmHifVD

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEHIjm7xCJ

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3PWNqYIN4

"Just get to the point, 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk11qZJDyHG
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFKMzVhNcw
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPBQBJA9fS

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsQ84CRJVr

"Today? Are you serious?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhqAj0orcY

"You know that I am. We meet today."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CZrGF6g0v

"But where?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjRBbkTEQN

"At the mall."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxhOxtTjpI

For a moment I almost 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8s7btkU1y
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrYy8GwpEQ
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeTFbCe1mW
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NlzXvL8Wy
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2zqeb8O7Z

"What's so funny?" Jehan1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5SA3cDp3Z
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoVj3g5FPQ
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzVy5HEUg7
myself.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSz2OiTIQY

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIElFlaxb6

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hOW4w9pF9

If he thought saying 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl1UJiVvMQ
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeCwMBUBn8
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIuim2ccPi

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQv0ZdfOeR

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe3gxHOvfb

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpDSvxYKrm

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby7XymFu4S

"Ya, sure."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tSRuqpKFa

Jehan didn't say 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3pWt1xamI
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzE6KHbyOM
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVYsQkFBv0
Typical.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDwK41DFw1

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwZzw8IdZv

"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."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6ekUGBC6v

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsWFwhELLP

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZd495EQjY

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6iQQl8drE

"Why? You think I would?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs9X56QIGC

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs2hYu6I10

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj0YVxYWbH

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejLEVqJlvK

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBYgxoEaJu

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu3ocMxrx0

"That one. Where is it?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAbhHCyCIx

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jDBH6hC8J

"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."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLR2RFODSi

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziFeywVJs4

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZADPC43Jch

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL9hPSyaLy

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkxxjxzGIT

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2V7qGOX99

I quietly went over to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvVH9KnfMw
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO77foLq2Hg
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQhGRbTP1z
soon.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sRdy2E0zq

I came to the drawer 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8kYqkFpNq
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVdbu9qOzT
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH2XrowxxB

I looked at her bed and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5OmshjDb0
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLQnkn719h
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJdcrUTXo9

"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."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR2L8oxxow

I heard the tap in the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw63fcRcgn
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cjEqPphgf
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwkCd4Ha3M
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WPvU7L0OC
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18bgwS9kfV

***1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHMdkGOtOG

Sam's P.O.V1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTSyoLn1Ss

"Do you really think 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmDJjP8mYt
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW9rkdXdlU
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3fU2W44qG

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUvi4aPyr0

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6IXtsBRoo

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhxYV8ayvJ

"I hope it's not drugs."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0udQIU8a2

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7R7iLjnvb

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8pamlpi2O

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidpWBWfXpk

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4XscN7eM3

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiIeoPTgNS

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFbSfkvfsB

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2Z6tiqaxz

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaejzQsE6o

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKT9D16YlG

"Zoey."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBmLIx4j80

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmh0mngor9
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpTsJ36wap
they couldn't because of our little fight."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNKeI4z73R

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ElDlWZ0iv
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpeY6lvu3h
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O1Dnj4STE

I raised an eyebrow at 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRotRxTijy
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNm1MCENjN
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPqC55K6ls

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7vZvgFcxk
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByfYwcmTnf
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34pvcHvt81
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfHVoe1uCJ

"About what?" Lee asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwArrIwPBzk

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHicJBPfJ3S

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ504ybAs1yW

"But today might be the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ5ZIBMtdF
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0AyMu0FUo
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUhwzxLfu6

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioGH58kkOu

My heart rate quickened 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L1EvFQtkr
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfmgescE1S
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b9tmm3p5C

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q5Jf0Jqxm

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJOPtIv2fv

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo2j0YtbPl

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyidOybKnj

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnGZutoccy

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTBOSANasW

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvAYFNiduo

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RhrMBGjDp

"Alright, thanks, 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI8pslPrKS
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhQ9WFH49L
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApE9Lswic4
Seungri."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2MxIBeTKf

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx2ZC4BFZK

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac7luThjAH

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeiB8xAazL

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90OrXgjBfd

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1JXshjNm1

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTuUBBH486

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGhVNE9xfH

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fb3dr6EEm

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGhYTnjLxL

"Yes, I am." I could 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftEK0uzbHg
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB155VbLui9
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDN5g3zCY3
perhaps?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzqhR3B5Cp

I rolled my eyes and as 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDjhuy8Hh1
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZDxw5tQpZ
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuOf4Tl2mF
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TQqUPktyq

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8Z2y0tmaH

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusNNTMXY1e

I bit my lower lip and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11QNW6odKC
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAN8v07Mib
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq3UL0b75y

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3PhD04q9l

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAeDY1fMAr

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2uh4NMDdV

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBBScLHoUV

"Bye."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D95BC1aLK

"Bye, my little kitty."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDJm9n95Q4

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPFccGBxTo

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUPP7BevF4

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kLL0tgoyh

"Nope. And he isn't 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfRZGsav3N
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRaqirOXXd
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhawgJSgWh

"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."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY0lfaakzH

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCC4V4DuQG

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A850W3c98

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTusPtwKcbu

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOszLm5zz9

"Tell me about it." I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAMePNKcbA
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBY4XPA8Xz
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEx5Uzuo2i

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisucWWhWwH

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWgEi4vrem

After we were done with 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RKg1XW4BX
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgNUbZrUnB
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJx8FqDWKq

As soon as we walked out1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0uuGrL2yB
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKrt5zwQ5v
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92jWuP0Bsr
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aksz362Nc
looking black suit stepped out.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsARl7amVP

Time seemed to have 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0eU1RKB7P
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSKBAcLW1E
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR0MeIo5uZ
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WKm2qx6xH
something familiar about him.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0CdV5Hrlz

Just as I was about to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N39WnvxVT
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0f6zifc6M
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zPwsLkzp1

I almost tripped and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCapYi658pP
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVsBpNPgQp
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBxYej6eGT
me from falling.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj7D4zUXNQ

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh2oKs6Iq5

I didn't say a word as I1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w8NSNyYhO
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8FnDmWu5s
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNx6Ps7a8I

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDwLMbSCFN

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnYnXD7at1

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5J6ZTU9iA

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihsKpH1Mkh

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDhvIOK30B

Narrator's P.O.V1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzyfBB14El

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUvcQEYRsH

"Hey guys, am here," 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQIQXg9Xj0
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HDk9J00NI
look downcast as though someone's just died."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjMELEOnKl

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeXOkk2aT4

"This is getting real 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ5Smc0gPC
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FH3UJsAli
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAtytAu4Nx
her or with anyone of you."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEQSrmnbCB

"No, I think now is the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGuS2vgVGi
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSs3DbOhUX
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnMudeXvUj

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghBasaw1sQ

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T6C1N7x47

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTnFNadUY1

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNThMaVgpy

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU9dlG3GYC

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKs5GgX2BD

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBYiU9PWXU

The others rolled their 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYCn8dWitu
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr1je8ikkl
around and now wasn't the time for it.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOSRvk0tQw

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf3WXLf8op

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjv1OpAXBB

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9voQujBDO

"Well, maybe," said 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW5WveTkvq
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EGtWpv5PC
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qvd4TMN76
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2CJFAyD0b

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN7RujHDKX

"When I saw Daesung and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlsc4J9WSM
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCwu3I75Mk
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOaWvtCFi9

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKs9eyz213

G-Dragon didn't answer 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyOBFiH2pX
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDheo51KVxJ
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DuCENfEtv

"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."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDGnXsVFLE

"What do you mean?" 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5wi6TRecG
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihUfWYsN10
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBthZv6KV79

"She was just doing that1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSsQIbm1hh
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgohCRDmTG
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7WfHSRdX9
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH27ziK0tRv
be together."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR2Y55mZU1

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveZ2oCSiDl

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFmLrNATRj

All the four BigBang 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRXsDjqbV3
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX05aK7Wlpf
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j8y37rIWO
heard him come in.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmTH6ifmn6

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0tGeqqOvg

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNcszJDEPV

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ty3GweIjX

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5mZOZXKwH

"I'm not going to stay 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb0NfYHn4B
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajcK6TlUBx
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG17Ldv80o

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHf3y3bNVp

"No, I don't."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYpgYnKZ4j

Before G-Dragon could 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7U2Zzq8Pc
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ysEYARDwF
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzRDaQgWgT

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYldjArmM0

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnN6vbzcNy

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zRzMTVP1D

G-Dragon folded his arms1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8WWv88frH
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhQY8bd7so
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMrbUDF5zi
stared at the ceiling.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsF39z2f8w

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtPhHhcKUW

Daesung came into the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga84lF64kw
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUl1XbY7Zl
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsfYNIo8fv

"Look, I know you're 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6wsfGanr3
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjXOSR0rTw
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzyenx0k7x
never told me anything either."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHaNuK3JmE

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7MfJz1auq

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKwD61ytIX

"Why?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9CU0Rg5mp

"She just felt like it 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6nrTvLoN9
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IKDoUplvt
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGjZQ8gmeh
long distance relationships will ever work out."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmZC7x8mfj

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8KztrEVK7

"Because I know I'll 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvYRIOafq1
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4aNBiYKVu
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7aAkiqI3p
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzEbge3xjQ
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZTNOYtkSj
want to hurt anyone either.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX3eUgD0Kv

"Maybe that's why she 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dO8NXP8g5
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89wN0nkyNp
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dzpVN0n6D
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J1OKOHVJv

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9X9KZBRMz

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uWGfhpPs2

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqyjAab2Pw

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY2aYwPlPh

"I know."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPNBDqdGfM

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlodeZ0lZZH

"I'll think about it."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqLLDco7g2

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFflYleXMm
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYV832ctmH
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAEY86C3Me
the mall."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh67P9akrr

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbWXnGCbHS

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuckBRhcL1s

"Ya," said Seungri, 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjPVvH1nwY
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJcPVv313B
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx6wbV663v

"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."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiDZE2SXJZ

"There is no time to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKp8GdUM47
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxCTszMfD5
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz86y8HdY9u

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnfyRGv72C

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpUVOJRbQR

"We're your best 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshs59NGMBa
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL4KHrFAsw
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWmVS9Y7TX

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNpZMrswkW

I came out of the black 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczRdyQd728
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq78m8GKQBX
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj56S8hGV1
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xu8wUpTGl
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuGglLcd08
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdN0CeX5jC
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbtxWryOgI

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl6WwkunqT

"Okay."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9kNWmwEjY

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY4sGQruZk

from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEjBjMYkup
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qgdCPros5
lot smarter than you think."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpKX16ItCK

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXfhIDI2DH

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsojikVbXBf
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqStXcuAaG
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATJGb9e62l

When I went into the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPPFhrq1qS
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2jUPQ4Ze8
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2r0dm4JTU

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeYHQ1BPNZ

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh8j3vTB78

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwwZJbNAE2

I shivered. Despite his 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPVLhUiEXw
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDyemLHLLt
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0CepW29HZ
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbgiHWhvA5
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYzWLTrqUC

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47Wr0F8Vwx

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T9VWeak5S

"Why do you need to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvDHnj89y3
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEJpmvgeXZ
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphcAdAND6Y

"Well, I need to know 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfoeYRZtF6
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivuLrLiSiF
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqg7ancwH6

"And tell me, why should1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpEFBkoAWH
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6XuHBuQoh
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkvAY3oMxJ
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZnFHQZq6c
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSiM0SFPDt

"I...eh..." I looked him1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo72Zn5FSOj
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC40n8VsqMt
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWxuIYNG6n
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ruCnlcD9
the kind who would send such a thing."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hW0qveERA

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JZjRLUPvN
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgpMhuqjrD
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30He8U06DA

"I don't know." I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hMBGCnAjg
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD1vHOZM0C
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGEvDL2TNP
up to?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWyTlEkTW3

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFKNgPwGbQ

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlPReq4PX9

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6DOOzzFmg

"What's the matter with that?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvRXDyyIhN

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgyKFlGml2

"Don't test my patience,1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5aXGiBdqv
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPXLKi76ZU
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFJOFCPUkx
think you deserve to you know."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MH7197OWz

"Well, yes, I do."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fAE2pe5nn

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObpJhP0ArQ

***1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorXWQVRHml

Sam's P.O.V1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDIreZZYUQ

I could see Zoey from 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0gJcU4yMY
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvfelTmuYO
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClK13MbdBg
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS7qUpWpdL
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEkE3Y43UG

I was entirely grateful 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLugVWpT7I
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr7yGi43jM
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Losoyome
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRsMA0yQ88
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8pE8Fd2ya
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9OAOYKRVJ
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjUI6OLjny

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3vkfL9fZx

"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.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Ky6wF6YA

"But how did you know 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6aQUyIyrI
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FBtibbCXP
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPOMgQifqO

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOLTNyA1yB

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPffnMIY5hw

"Well, ya," I said as I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OskqmO16K
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu43KcVOCe
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocRXJIMzzf
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURi4G3DfYB

Lee turned to the window1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWuONYagrF
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu1nzKbNFL
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL9Aj3tHZk

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEia6HunjEa

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCVGkzb3xB

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnunRcGtrB

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzdC4UA6yJ

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNbTBqaGxO

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFKJAqEQ8O

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WwXmFDjGY

We made sure to keep a 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlGTGsyrg3
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRFkXeDSLN
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzg38BfsMP
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKEgJ9YpJK
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrqswI4e8A

They went down the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEtrZc3Iv6
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN0O78Xsmw
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzfGWVqVWz
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGJvUEJ2Wy

They were led by a 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeogw807PMl
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzfxZOHd4r
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgZTnxyV21
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6RTyrTntK
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHK3Yq0KVm
restaurant.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOGUM8to83

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWteziBDLHu

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LjXGKaabQ

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3IGct8dLH

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1A9ixz6Pn

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxavnYI2sB

"Me neither. But what to1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXo9pnsMmM
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdHa0V2qnQ
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yNNQITBG7

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyoKfLFuj4

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct1JgAqjOu

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKzn4yJNS4

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSsRRY3qtm

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7BhuBl44U

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoI9fP8o8j

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPS4OFWaFQ

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06PvitsMyO

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mFa37WHeC

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1git4jfjfx

"Don't worry. Seungri 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKo3ZrFAej
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC1TXPc0nt
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisP4QyD1jI
and she will know something fishy is going on."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08eXS9Yqfv

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0dsUEPd1l

"I hope so too."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt9ZkMDkLb

Zoey's P.O.V1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxB9jw6xCO

I looked at the menu and1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdsSCTHMaW
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsc4EZXnLM
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKPGEDgU6P
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhjw0ne0Ca
looked up at me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWx9x2Bah2

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnkq4uExwM

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIBOvdzRBK

"Why?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8suMp3YI7

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswKw2Ps6Cp

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEJ7GLthms

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqh1JI7lLZ

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2IkH19qeD

"What?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqarPzm5py

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATXWKywBaS

"I'll try not to next 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJV5wF762Y
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVKbEGH0hk
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqGD6fClRG

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX6oKCuLox

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonppFZK9Vh

"Not tell anyone."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eSOGqtM13

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JCqQIcsbe

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwrFxHPgcV

"I smuggle diamonds."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVivltkjPjK

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXsX5kHBSf

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx178gwKTP

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt5W1CqR2V

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gi19oYWxX

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29CtTuf4Zc

The waiter came with our1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHZbVAtiWV
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmTvj7hbZ9
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3OQBT2gpw

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznQ4wOynND

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU7OiX7lTG

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2uwTIbwk8

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ena1tdbuG

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYXAhokG0j

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xZ6Xxz8CM

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ger0DDDTh

"Is that why you're so rich?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhsi2mgnEa

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MlsXoFXL5

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VoiwYOom1

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5YhNiZKUQ

I gulped. He was giving 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTjhQJAn8v
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YAVBoInNu

I was waiting by the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJHJVHaCYi
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDt0nBD0Ud
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBFCftZ1Nj
car? What was he doing here?1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEAVCT1vJy

Seungri came out of the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ad87eYz2s
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxj4znDPyp
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN6jgeQdbx
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLIzyxi77y
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzTDLuzMEp
what I was expecting.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gE18iDxSE

I trembled. What am I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrD2npj8jM
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TYXaURjmS
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1k1f2iccv
give Mr Teddy away.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPIAMJ8hIP

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMm5Uo0MIc

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37LefwFj9p

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZsgm37EEH

"I, no....I," I didn't 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SmkPw4ZDe
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHgXfkgq4l
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9c0unIZz4

"I was only expecting 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjONASy1Xte
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMcntjxP7l
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWuuQv2er1
seeing the two of them together.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhGq1xWM0S

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeHFMb11GJ

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9bpOCezj1

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhtcZqX0rF

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pOskudxWe

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeb0WyHQTi

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA6bb60nFL

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DKJw2yb5P

"Come with me," I said 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfscsQd8oJ
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC8G51ZXSU
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w6t04xrVU
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AdKKyWlKr

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGNLwNxSaY

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLGytBYIGf

"Hi, guys. You're 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtGqtnDk5g
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOjO9nOSZc

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe08gzbRyf

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqdBYGki0L

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.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfk01NXImN

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZxbHp4hiW

that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7tITFxoGN
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMrT3hwtAq

The five all turned to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaBBb9Vde8
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HsFY5IsFR
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03rEcTAXbp
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKYePcgTLI

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU4Viyflk1

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR6Owr7h1C

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJX0h6p6mP

"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."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMlAbjbwzK

"We were also wondering 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cYX24zh3h
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnDHmLO0vk
them, but decided that I would rather not."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQmVYzsfpY

"Why?" Daesung asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG69huEAdJA

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7H3mBmZTF
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGlqlbuonH
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfhQKpjxiS
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDluHLuuPm

"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.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGDLWrLmyo

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuiWOLWLLR
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj4R2ALcdk
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MwA43TMrt

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r6FVX3b2m

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jFaj6lu8Y

Everyone turned to look 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNVhvV14KV
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqCuvkWLTM
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLVxH72qg8
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhvt8G3iaS

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpN6ZucEKB

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFGbJGTyfw

"Here you're now 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJsbyKZLlf
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3jFE54Vzj
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm2tgc4eHZ

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq2QMAixDB

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHn8BaBRa6
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ABVoT0TZa
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFWtNMDfjI
something, quick.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaDo5abaCr

"Okay, fine, we will 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYtjolFlu5
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdocVr0tfnp
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq5nbbTr0Z

Yes. Finally. I thought 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DMhn23Rb5
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6mruTHoIb
everything was going to be delayed.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJPNZbzNUM

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu4yoJlx19

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64zEmtQAux

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPaLjtIuDb

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUzXPbbPg3

As much as I wanted to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ND2JTnkKD
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5sLrzCEBM
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVlk2Uycsi

***1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Ej0ZUHyt

Zoey's P.O.V1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWxapRBWcs

As much as I tried to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6SxsWhM0y
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppV9bZ1kCB
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JDN2tpuPv
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F9EiRLSen
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCM8sG8uT4

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbwa8oNd26

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkOpdC0FSj

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFqiQyv4No

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeHZz9SaXu

"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.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAezENikdbD

"What do you want me to 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E1xBoxGrN
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkkhjC3L1S
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm89DJJIyJ0
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneeeYnzJt3

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAZ73F5lmc

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY0BhHOYNX

Jehan shook his head and1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAC054jGK2
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8P5RJaMMi
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVpb3mVG3H
annoying."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8ECHeFO6Q

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI7fbs1EmZ

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuoUnyzeXn

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4GgEp16tW

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlD79eJnHS

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXotGecbzY

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNq6iJjNTQ

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpWJzcmFK9

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhdxNgeI52

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13BfDSmZfy

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc25YDsoPm

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifW8rFN36E

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY7q5Ng9Cf

"Yes, for real."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sykDPrHUL

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaYsbewJpW

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzXCHLagd3
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2hLB0DDaK
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2Y0S8HjiZ

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRBEGXwtjB

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd016SSxqWP

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tXmuTxEVH

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnezggZLkR

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.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpCC5T7iwd

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jpFwZmBZ2

"Zoey, hey!"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvQqb3NA8s

Seungri? I quickly 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07aExTI9vE
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCVHFOSVjX
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqf6nIiVkh
here?1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0mdCRFB92

They came over to our 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MRmi067GN
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSsrZAQwWi
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU17oDSDku
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAkgJqsZCR
to do now?1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzvuGmcFIi

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqjvBHBNmG

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicKVTRVJYd

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBQMl1zZE4

"Jehan."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz4k93hHPM

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSd7MB1oFa

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWAKAWv2hl

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmvvHPnKpQ

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7d70YneuF

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Ln9q2ka3

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KsMcNdM1I

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MAUr9r5iz

I almost spit out the 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZgTBqmx0v
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NxVHFVuD7
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz89QPFENSA
to water.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQWRnxfTXw

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK1kSv8ep4

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwWO7NRCSq

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDDr2WJ3AY

Jehan looked at me and I1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryYewHQaoR
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1ZgtxDrTz
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrVQRQm73V

"May I ask what you're 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI0gGxSE4C
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjpGguEmFa
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2tjL1mZvO

"Oh, we just came here 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01C7BskXmu
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ3zHIlUfT
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPH8uXbS6W

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1nylt3ij4

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHgofXsFAb

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Zr90CWiH

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uzwImHnDC

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVqV55sSwP

"Yes, we will," said 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHDbUAPX62
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCRQ6tpLeg
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUC0M8nerQ

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNAa1nGwEL

"You too," said Seungri.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcfi4OE06h

Jehan gave a small smile1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40XmOvOu4U
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi2OISBWat
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E5QYzpTsp
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTmSx0gFze

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvEirleSce

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwFFr46zD9

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3gVxfonqQ

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21D556aTZz

I wondered how I was 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPStVY9sUT
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OOLBbkCDj
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv3Y8MPU0D
head until I give the teddy bear away.1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ159hAGNYM7

This was just great!
