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 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vN3mPZWcJ
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZmzMPsZNS
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr4y81jPLK
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VEdFGcMJJ
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSsQUSoUOA

Last night, Zoey moved 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc204MVxuA
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf33VurlCTx
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JCnyFkiho
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IdSrMywT9
talk to her either.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScLzLbUX30

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8eS1Ryup7

It so happened that 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYNFbB01oe
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSGJS54Rk5
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnRIRLYtaD
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMps1IVLubo
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VB8jZIx6v
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q1BsfkVaB

Now, I was sitting 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNSiGUpX3z
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h6QVya1VI
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmIBSH6vC3
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7EV1rVOPt
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVdjUuCc3G

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvf29HVQBK

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqF5aqJIaL

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwV5RaZoYe

"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?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xQbfqbaH9

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpG1G6LG4C

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb7kyO1blJ

"Lee!" I whined, putting1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVASZnT7LR
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hsMUNlLgf
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYyQCxPkcI

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6dWjhrgAH

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCExDwOcAF

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfUtF71r5M

"Why? I want to stay here."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24YgK96qVE

"I need to go and shop 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTHI43hY9X
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OSKTaxnJC
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtmX4w4SQQ

"But watching YouTube 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUFp4Ok2Jj
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCzwEmz2Ml
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMOyfzKdV9

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmBFDvwbIJ

"I think Lee is right, 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4NVIiQJ6L
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKnfg5SdXI
out on Sundays like you do back home."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvjago0m1L

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLIPstDcQ0

"I know you're a fan of 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rJblH46fn
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrZbshVxPC
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6UHISql0j

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbluBwsmRp

"Well, that's what 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaWMicbv7X
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iW2zw9IxQ
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTwX5XQ3OY

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SSSo7r21C

"That's what we are 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu65fskH9R
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqozsMrOtC
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacCJFseqVq
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJdZqzrvWK

Daniel's right. I had to1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfLDysODjf
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvI1GDCTnq
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BLkiSwWQt
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfGc4Kvea5

Unlike the others, Lee 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Zo8bmyE1
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYtKm3q1ZM
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPEs05IdHe
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXgWRhab6S
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPprV7VeIr
and Zoey together.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhxpaO1rYg

I really wanted to tell 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpnOdHEjAP
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5m8adWFFx
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kViedWTMN
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9WQE5hh9S
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgyCn5tSMo
When was I ever going to change?1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4GpEgIilq

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3cYYZmaUr

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T8z549zj9

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqLd8tteMe

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDtMr0qhvB

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWxuFlozrw

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2WN12KoPV
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFxFMgmnwy
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2d815wq1L
my room to get my shoes.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqLl5A9bHA

After I wore my white 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mxw1oJrwC
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBdGaEaQJP
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ43wlb2npG
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrHjayn7TK
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRPTl4F4zT
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Z8XQM0Wb

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe9cC3kcyk

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXAVOk3e54

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdgxiGQxIn

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLOsjuRoRk

"We can go, now," I told her.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCRHaTl4tn

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSW4oY1xs1

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiELJZu9GpU

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeshqFlwmf2

I smiled back at him. 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva7D03Jcmv
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJAhkeEx4l
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5vt86Mfn7
guards in the other SUV.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLfR1rib7O

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJwSqtCAW4

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUP9anfGh4

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT6U5Alawz

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwO7NkfVpQ

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHqIZPq2wQ

"To the mall," Lee answered.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSXzRbDkA8

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSyqbln6Cs

"What's wrong with the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUY6pTfT9Q
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNmwR95Ah4
best plans just come out of the blue."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGGPJ8ZRUW

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoREwiAhQmz

"And waste the day away? No way."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy8RZ4WBTD

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzp57l4U1s

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzLOMt1NWg

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwz5gbslhm

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKxZAK4VLj

"No. Zoey might have 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSiafG2rOu
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hOkDVxJ1h
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam8wV4XLCs
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QtrbY26cA

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7tXDU8LTo

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nHzyaggzU

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrb5ypOWEZ

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Ockc3mv9

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw66Whm5wZ

"I don't know what to do1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdRD8hhrc2
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyVMRIstrY
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp6Q2dmWJw
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0XQiLVICv
somehow."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNntIlN4eWc

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiCLZWqM18

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVfTMYjBPe

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEEyY3iHfQ

I folded my arms as I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQqeNZNhhX
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YMxLUeslt
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf6C5wWdls
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86jON5cMvs
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhZarRqhC9

We soon reached the mall1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs71O3xZV4L
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK289oVAR8
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlszfBAzJP
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGMQ5jzkEk
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqT6Xhtkft
the bodyguards were around.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkE546x7hU

Lee and I first went 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqswfKvsSZY
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g2r3m4uVR
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJXlMXDZ6f
a while. I was having fun.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag189iqr2p

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.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMEY6SrPDZ

Lee and I soon came out 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuUCPvwOsz
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySEBAHHfes
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDNI6JeLsB
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaRn8jyjYW
our bags because we bought way too much.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEaFigjp1X

When we walked out of 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDWrpHqGhr
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8gwnORQP7
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lGzGc9FVt
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTHA3n5EUq
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU609kEYgk

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9HleN0Mph

I couldn't answer Lee. I1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFsrR9pU5o
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl67RKeZrjh
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5i0TRMFeg

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFBoZvJyHG

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVLyrHlFKj

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdNY4Nv96H

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzZc9QRV13

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAAgkTKzv5

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBxN6RPgPR

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhTg6bJizI

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyJbywWuH7

I looked at each and 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82g4WT3u55
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiCdsnZnVu
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbOhbGLoWq

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLWT06aqWe

"What?" Lee looked 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r31889sF6
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2mHp7jHm5
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIIE9KZjTX
panda."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjndrL60sRz

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl5o3gQHB0

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSUWzgvoB2

"Derrick's brother sent 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4DRH1u7RK
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDABUpapCxN
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeOaOQUAkJ
bear."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeTscffosd

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpcETmJBU3

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv3Yi2AXRK

"I don't get it though."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgF7YtLGd0
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EntazWWde
so concerned about that small teddy?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJiRtpXyFK

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSvSUuIFTp

***1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvibR9hGlz

Zoey's P.O.V1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxeXl6TB86

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsUZVGUijR

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsygDJXy89

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvxaLPNIuD

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PPHXArzjT

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnBe4YpmSB

"You moved out of the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m51Lh1tjg
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8COkGdAtF
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVUb7T05tI
of alien or something."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCuz8SgNGP

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzxYTyqvMu

In a quick flash, a 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAbmhrZ0RT
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9neaHllnP
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZGqpv6a6m

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6XgD8kcae

"Do you want more of 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDOIpE2YvK
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNjyfzPuUt
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDCnnO3R3L

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Hr3l9RhU

"You got that right." 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIiDjZ21NJ
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG1PdBCfMQ
ignore her like you're doing forever."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCZrjZbxHT

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjNWKn8jzN

"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."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVYeN6WwKb

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRsknb9JGm

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzaKk4KjJK

"It's normal for someone1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgycpBHR7H
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjyKdApNHg
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡims7tg9rMc
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmHMJUo39Z
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ft2A5ISDE
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb6zUElyUi

I always hated such kind1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFHoH9xptS
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaiBQY0qlt
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQFOBqDplY
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrgbLpmbdy
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEgAqgzySy
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRLhdtJQzF
nothing.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhmCJCYEN0

I've never told anyone 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8RnAgK1HL
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PcC7G0aFN
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEiOH9d4H5
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxsa2cSHdX
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXBqzncPpo
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX5ei0CMec
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrlRMqh9tt

I am Yin and she is 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOYs2BNttp
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16QcNfExue
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXltv3B0IZ
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc3R3kBTY9
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVmBtEA9Te

And now when I needed 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvZNLkFf8s
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKWieST5yE
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tp4zjblIQ
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZyCIuSKfZ
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphDXM4JTzW
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohimy5vhWp

It all begun when I went1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa11ZDnsY0
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wWwK5DI8P
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgp79A0OIz
this mess.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQHbbCBEjv

We were having so much 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosFFCbQZOd
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pPNtZxPXc
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIXpMikUgr
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ywzcNr3xI
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQnepWuCeh
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfdfN5rB5A
things did go wrong.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaErRnwv9Kr

As we were watching the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg5iGdGAzw
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nylPM1ajJ
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXitoSYtIk0
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o4aO0lHRu

When I looked at him, he1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHOXX8AwvN
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2abY3Dxf1
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn9yUaYNgb
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzxTBmngF5
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dK7CgJgeB
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5hMoVQHzE

After the show when 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjvNfYAScm
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroMWx4zJtQ
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09d7Rchi9M
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowbSGAel5D
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUxLlFkKQA
take a few minutes.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDF698NJho

I didn't find anything 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3RFiRmNW5
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxprtqbqwEy
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAillrczVSd
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug0WL6B9ej
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TiItEyNXp
too much.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdqP9AtdJU

Jehan led the way out 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGDPF9ioI0
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3xXN9EG3i
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3bTzv1oGZ
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj5o1OEpis
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenFXFGKwvu
that I felt a little safe.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaxSuVB6ak

The two of us soon found1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNA0Hf8A0Z
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC65QVhEZRJ
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYQlDZwtel
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJoRlgbevV
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJAFpSrcBM
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdFvE2Z4Nl
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLWgt507As
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8CKCNuhfN
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMvIlOWwDq
menacing.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqNPIq19sw

He gave me something for1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYQ3I9EpGm
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sE3rJLTke
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLUCfFY4Lb
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIOGSrulmk
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjMQiosOK3
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqbFLAYVVL
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjP6tIIxNE

Whatever he sent me that1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXCmPr6a5G
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaRpSih9Ea
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvsMhTgB7R
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwwgjYFImp
happened yesterday.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXOJFwtnzX

I had never been in this1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5m3RnFDQY
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPVcaKer76
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIN5cOvKGA
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDATypZd6V
crying out loud. I had to do something.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7E4w8mkbe

My phone rang bringing 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn7NpP2oty
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vGpxiYtir
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAyHpVPQQl
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBQ3IeNeux

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97VcPoQFQW

"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.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RJPUSiAcS

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8HZdGl0Bi

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMta7EPFLvq

I would have told him to1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGvkH4F89Y
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBERzyh3Xea
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqRfUDuAC1

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP3OZvONH9

"Looks like you aren't 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GDiFsiP2Y
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxtvxmAgFj
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQlPaNBQF6

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiZKLcMlnq

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVcpSgpfGw

"Just get to the point, 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvANup79emR
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtksHsUvgp4
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwIb3f5DoN

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ3FzAXs1z

"Today? Are you serious?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXX3sMDSx4

"You know that I am. We meet today."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVD48rWcu4

"But where?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt2NzQdjml

"At the mall."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwaP6XFTdR

For a moment I almost 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD4GYdYVHU
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic7S2TzcuC
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti2enT1x7z
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkcVOcsJkl
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSiUhQtkAO

"What's so funny?" Jehan1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxiknDe1GP
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxbqPLdgZ0
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGmW6PJA13
myself.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJFVVvuLND

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnVRGPM0Ih

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuClT8xKBL

If he thought saying 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSsMz5FlQw
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt280lFvaE
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDzVT7cHq7

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdGFLK9xHo

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomjMqA9c7e

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8cs9DWnD9

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR1hqMVld0

"Ya, sure."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDF1uR3KCP

Jehan didn't say 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPsbFuTSVQ
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZMyCNPySW
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZJPunW5wc
Typical.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS73SLFA6QM

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1qZWhN8Z4

"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."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoScuDF02Ra

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZSVqpdVJ6

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzSPortEwJ

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2gGziwTeq

"Why? You think I would?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEmEHye4a1

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lDV82nnkw

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTGUjYjKQB

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7o5GlgB02

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r58f6nYdP

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLRbHSKDCd

"That one. Where is it?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnduofaqlGN

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamPBVt3PcR

"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."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0V0VapcL7

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXowsT01nnC

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPc87c4jZJ

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzf1fbu0Ij

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1bO6ZHgJ1

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZErEBknAlR

I quietly went over to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY7hqARmXh
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9hGp1FmsM
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV3jZejf4a
soon.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkpKAJLHmg

I came to the drawer 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdcAqbhe4U
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcqNHn67OC
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoEU8usChS

I looked at her bed and 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsM3GBUgAk
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Uf6uqxD4z
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX648tADPZ

"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."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMi1Q9cjQG

I heard the tap in the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E5AipjWro
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLOYV4c4sX
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwAU1D7wKc
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sRYdaSgj2
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4NfxbmgiQ

***1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrZdDMWAN1

Sam's P.O.V1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjVjG3Xdgm

"Do you really think 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KHHkdsceR
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKgwmadxlc
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPBoAOByNo

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjTftjeXdg

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iLMag5A6l

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYv9IBZJiz

"I hope it's not drugs."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsQJI2C4bZ

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQYDqmEtk8

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu71qOLtq6

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL3NE8LP69

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN0SHA920L

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ60cxHXE7o

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB09xJG8WGI

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2R6owXm35

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xqja5LbA6

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmd1YPqI6r

"Zoey."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbxkZ1AGdO

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW4EY2KGet
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ9vhYWHVD
they couldn't because of our little fight."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkurNDvJXp

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJxuvAl5OV
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuqQT0XxcN
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLsbTsgq4L

I raised an eyebrow at 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta8qG3pZvG
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f8Qg8m5PT
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AlUXrwkle

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokZOUuQji1
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVcwnuLGao
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFxfDfye7A
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmvIPniPFj

"About what?" Lee asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22GcpwIrMl

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0wxl8LU09

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplSNjFaHb7

"But today might be the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxr45S3fmA
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetbyZryj40
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9jwUGpHjE

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq5rfqQQvf

My heart rate quickened 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehgmOuiC4h
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VnhAJPFAU
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYNYBhC4Su

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQyM6Ho3um

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4fCt9SIii

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWoxYWsfKJ

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGynZuPGW8

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo8gEzsDYI

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsRDs7tEvS

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRvLibBlOE

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0O8HEQUFm

"Alright, thanks, 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyHaBBm0Yg
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTrXPaJUIn
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0iUYvKhaX
Seungri."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4f6igSlkW

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgezwLj35Np

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMdUOxg3iP

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MVj2qTpcv

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHILgnEcS0

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HWeo33dEy

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2WLatr0U3

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgFEY0jzXO

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0l8uFtVsQ

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vKydC3ohJ

"Yes, I am." I could 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk2kB8ABJx
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFftvRCv4hU
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5uru4SC1Q
perhaps?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvf7xQnLrP

I rolled my eyes and as 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnajcqsd9eT
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w7fXuk89n
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcmrwd6FTf
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroVQTsmfQZ

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHK8mUIGxO

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZMTTbhb63

I bit my lower lip and 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzumU1l8MrN
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUWHtthz9c
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls3uXwNbx5

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJEtSybOZZ

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVXV8djKhk

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdrrzQ1rZx

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhLOPUISjf

"Bye."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sxHZY7WfM

"Bye, my little kitty."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyH8M9EVmb

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBh9mo5gCN

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBdt9sTNAn

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEKZPYu86Y

"Nope. And he isn't 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPZHffZ3iv
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaCK7dqEh1
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy92uRUhTCJ

"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."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhqj7oxAQ2

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdY4c5vIyB

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh0PnFZg6N

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFadX4Punxr

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gU7OwGebQ

"Tell me about it." I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErHFMojmFg
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU5Nq0fJiv
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ8lTDAFaY

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoRYfVLip4

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t55CQkajk

After we were done with 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86sNQFkjmN
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xKIznw3X0
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SWmY0LfLf

As soon as we walked out1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRz6th9pj8
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF0mEG8VWH
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU6TnZ2Qoi
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfmuNOiw7w
looking black suit stepped out.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9EmxqCeaQ

Time seemed to have 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoSwDb1xYS
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYKoIoRZvE
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszBJswplMB
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZA1vs8fqi
something familiar about him.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwt0GG40fz

Just as I was about to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcsFAbt1Jt
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0bkSitERT
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKH6VMikXW

I almost tripped and 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M0t7rvtYN
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEybtqC0SNJ
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySXNf0hvu5
me from falling.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQKHdDkPhe

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUw69TjZnC

I didn't say a word as I1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8inhRNgthj
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc68Ic94WP
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHFfvDUYQi

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r7JvHXqyk

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY7m7vcdLE

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyINcDyb9U

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjdHbyt3pi

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlewkgfpNm

Narrator's P.O.V1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xi6nZi25b

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCNtAKGmNg

"Hey guys, am here," 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BUhah0QUr
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWUONfzROR
look downcast as though someone's just died."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPdAgSZr9I

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX1T3l3RH0

"This is getting real 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDcuDJruN9
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW85k4hkkCm
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9UB4b7F4b
her or with anyone of you."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWCLCmseO8

"No, I think now is the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQTHovfvjt
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkj54dENlW
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl5k0axzuB

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwVmcLNikW

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGzILu3KTn

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtpGKPHfqy

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwEPBxyNM1

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6EgN5hgS8

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFvkirc4HC

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx2umyHPC6

The others rolled their 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxOyKSkW5M
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPixejJGRO0
around and now wasn't the time for it.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yVPCH9okP

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpFwXcQRck

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN1mfLVFyu

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0MCM3BVy1

"Well, maybe," said 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVAXu4lRJx
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD6nKMmrCd
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa03nybpRpQ
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rt4kpavHY

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw50IpW4oS

"When I saw Daesung and 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX59qfJXRx
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yxFP3w7DQ
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnkCWaZwnI

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VmJsgkj8e

G-Dragon didn't answer 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuQhpt9fBY
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPS53I9ige
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFiPx39bSi

"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."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3HBd6unGU

"What do you mean?" 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUewz8Ykza
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2Bm99wxGg
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkR7zzrGaT

"She was just doing that1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHwobncOhI
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkprigohNQk
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiZy1FLVkA
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ0Cm8Sxjv
be together."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBGJVQ5e1J

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfTI8g2RED

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhBSmlMeuU

All the four BigBang 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2vsdd4nBw
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4h70XOxhL
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDoFEwX2Hx
heard him come in.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZhfhIeUrs

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9A3VMuXsT

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBD4gLrHXb

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUXeGgMDo1

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF6y2Su4ZG

"I'm not going to stay 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GMFeGFhDO
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCS6kl4xg3
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSevPMka2O

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRV0bWtoWx

"No, I don't."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDLvyDLqvA

Before G-Dragon could 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZprYY6rmH
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRENRzoC0q
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco7E306VbB

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcxcxyP0yL

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3ecZy8zAD

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT70rltswb

G-Dragon folded his arms1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMLXjydwEJ
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4swUkV0YB
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIRVXBlCFr
stared at the ceiling.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbNdoJTKIt

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OXFxWzGZq

Daesung came into the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUQoD9tozS
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d98ucT3cI
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uJANAOakV

"Look, I know you're 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RBao4DkjL
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGpzV629Hz
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ60mIryd2
never told me anything either."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaLGkpvFWr

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1ER3LTcbS

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKob7G8Ha2v

"Why?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprjA87s1ba

"She just felt like it 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZnuegrCys
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkLg5dD695
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZIUuC3HyA
long distance relationships will ever work out."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZTJAmzqVX

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoPZBZn3jL

"Because I know I'll 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvalDuOQcy
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx3OvnblZQ
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtE1onzglG
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g2mPyRdZ1
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnYyysvsdo
want to hurt anyone either.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKViNBLrYVz

"Maybe that's why she 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevm7rJf3Eh
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJgy1AnZXe
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMHwGuugae
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJJwyyeKq4

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJi8Bl0Y1h

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C2XWAb8hH

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUiJ06DMJL

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz5VZNnn43

"I know."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEzg6RwB66

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdJcHR4jEo

"I'll think about it."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBJZ36lFUL

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHlVA2F51e
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV0pvVRP8o
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LRO3bk3dk
the mall."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtrDG88kme

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovlB4uY5RF

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8cC4KSKa4

"Ya," said Seungri, 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAXzhh4oSN
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC6tVgVvCR
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LKnzvooff

"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."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSrHyObxNX

"There is no time to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGaMQrI8Wl
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgu8gmdJwM
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mfLWaDILk

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BmYJVL76d

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8bHyDsQZf

"We're your best 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWjvWdZzH5
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHmHW8P7KE
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhZGDWmQCc

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF0m9w8LGS

Zoey's P.O.V1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5rGMMxqZ2

I came out of the black 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvKid1tgSz
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtjTPcrDzQ
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquio00YVRA
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6pEdcVlZ4
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpijL0IMNFJ
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatekC4HpkQ
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNldX471FZ
by my fans.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm7nKpz39y

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDI9mg5qYg

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2oWgcIqew

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xwnLHMCdT

"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDqRcSmIW4

"Okay."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8FVj4Nqgm

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbMbD6tjmX

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSK9LjL2Yh

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStAKtKrO8L

"Well, I'm glad you 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM4rFW6CMi
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXESznvnJar
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kFF2qr28D
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnc4oujwLb
lot smarter than you think."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa45Q2U7PY2

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc31lPnBtu

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq35wR72vlo
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdIeEUglR1
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW5rqGE35x

When I went into the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqev7Wadwj
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW0lVL3aAl
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuZAWDB0ae

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakaAph7juv

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG9TDfwR56

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4zCFRfuPP

I shivered. Despite his 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGzGVOAuFt
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJPlrG5hkB
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMUP65gRqr
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8Hufv5CMC
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBcuiAYkUQ

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9tyiunqcp

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LKRJajjMF

"Why do you need to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ljgYAhz6
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgilCYlDWm
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLz2GjiMHB

"Well, I need to know 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZlBMl710D
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA7CQTjp7o
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Le6O4KZYp

"And tell me, why should1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE51nOhGFK
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc1vTlvT5m
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo767E7K8Qs
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lBMhYf1hT
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV94jfH1QgS

"I...eh..." I looked him1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhELcmSvnoe
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnvHhFlaR6
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6wNrdkgzV
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxkcApMVP9
the kind who would send such a thing."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqabQAQw2Sa

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqhGyMkc5m
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wrnHr7s86
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPohHThrzv1

"I don't know." I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWWaHlQHRg
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvMGugRUT4
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVufk01FrgS
up to?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtmrfdKVUO

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2lLvDbPKM

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSquTlSN7As

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyHP8ETTX1

"What's the matter with that?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kJDm3bwKT

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnRIDdwxqB

"Don't test my patience,1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV8H31G4xD
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JVSlsGtpF
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwUY2FBtQu
think you deserve to you know."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpO9yUtFLm

"Well, yes, I do."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoMkuyJl1K

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFGXDYJLjS

***1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOOl7CXWAL

Sam's P.O.V1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGDBvVr7MY

I could see Zoey from 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOoKy2YQme
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6kOKkvP6l
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTKbUndKBr
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotw8OTTGhY
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SJY5JXGwH

I was entirely grateful 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO8Oug7s1V
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UR9cjkiFg
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdLWfs3QoA
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8XaxCv21W
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl374wZXqnI
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERqkbT0BJM
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtubvV09n8g

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMrMApMrjq

"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.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcT6nXPT26

"But how did you know 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE74PhgZXE
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQCWjekzan
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm7sL9SKau

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2vl5OIhhy

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWhtXhrboz

"Well, ya," I said as I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDTK6frePM
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtNbDHhY5l
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4iSuaahzt
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmK7ad6jYZ

Lee turned to the window1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFem807r2KU
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMRdLRWyHM
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczqTt9LojQ

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ1JOnqiJV

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfaOtlm88q

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPrXLuBTr8

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF2uDdZn7N

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe4d2f0B42

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Nk4fNuX1

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPJx5qqLN7

We made sure to keep a 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDctt3NFA96
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3RPo37HQ7
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSX9CXrnvW
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw6xTInAAf
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUK9KWrdBI

They went down the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHvwgB6JiE
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Skz0DVIkF
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm67BJY85ir
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgLFjdG0oi

They were led by a 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAGfZ0DPlx
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqZjpyXTJN
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA1MPbmMTI
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IVMvrIbB3
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqjxcXTBRS
restaurant.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUhZ1z2ux3

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lZIs05ln1

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyq8XstXED

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJVsIDtbJa

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fQCB99ekd

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f9aLZWJdw

"Me neither. But what to1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ar2lm5Oz
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BozWS31OQ
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFuJTkpf9l

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VyRvG4uRS

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G7rXKQw4H

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysamtrCBa6

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZVdamnUAn

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCla6qNcQD

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y6tDXL7Gx

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY90eqWpDdr

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNyE5hk9pG

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1oFHUzwro

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqaNoIyXWd

"Don't worry. Seungri 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha5X121pjH
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUiTGNcE9H
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQS9q5I6eY
and she will know something fishy is going on."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltOgPsM63l

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH1GyYRvYY

Zoey's P.O.V1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNtwnrVJsU

I looked at the menu and1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9IsXuzYzZ
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrlKQFvk7h
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRvijwESr5
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qYuoLSyTW
looked up at me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp08sWCE4pY

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5HxtSmnIJ

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLnY6SyHZP

"Why?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15djjpLXgZ

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCzIPPgHOJ

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf7meJmkzf

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxfrxwTBcS

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I0joCPErW

"What?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyH5EuoLLQ

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wbf2Xvans

"I'll try not to next 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgxUtbflVo
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqOmoaCytG
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG16zGq2R1q

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyG2mBR8Rt

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsIBK3lHGS

"Not tell anyone."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn2KDiaUXz

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflbeG0MJCl

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLklJBnMzmf

"I smuggle diamonds."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz5f2LKYfp

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv62JDicN5A

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakBjY64ASf

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ194ASWiOUk

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrCuo7x3hJ

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6uUrDWHle

The waiter came with our1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbykXuvS888
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuIoIOl3Zr
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfTl8avz84

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCxqNT2CbM

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3UBJKddlK

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLqoPxnNYm

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzDcK0YZ7g

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqlLdXRzuI

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX4OF2sr8b

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzonc47eKR

"Is that why you're so rich?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxjNj2ldlz

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwNTAY8o8D

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9DE8B0seI

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit3dNTnIoK

I gulped. He was giving 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnFFdPurHu
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUegrJodMTw

entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGOKUPZNhc
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoLVmo8L3S
car? What was he doing here?1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiLsxnWhQr

Seungri came out of the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnv6rS1bpn
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80wmpgnnP7
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsMVVCJWDT
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneHElFOfiy
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXYb5TaH8D
what I was expecting.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZEyG4TCIi

I trembled. What am I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmK3g3yNt7
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOyrcfTE2T
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURKxKLjMCD
give Mr Teddy away.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3RW2HJfWY

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NRqxnVbQh

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDp3HCVAIa

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ahExjydc

"I, no....I," I didn't 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzEzQWGKdl
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX4sKSiv0D
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQQF7wxfBG

"I was only expecting 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvRuXq08Cq
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AkSGPeYru
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK8RrNpSB3
seeing the two of them together.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcUKEUbfXM

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hPnGnN7ir

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwrJ229iWS

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON2mwTerEa

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgZ3pNwhzN

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiWVhXskKb

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Vy5Smy5S

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbrL9Xeodr

"Come with me," I said 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIZMcnErxm
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAc8rJqrIc
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQueiKSUguN
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR3aDNkNnx

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt2kW7UJP3

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdwUOctb4s

"Hi, guys. You're 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9yRcf5cIX
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Qp2pmfYM
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03diIEliQ7

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkxdFNY9lH

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFHCZ4HLeD

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.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ3KpJiMZ8

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVkaI2OaBx

with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7kD7AYTBe

The five all turned to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokQaiRIOf1
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kvnpVw8qB
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPDAoLp7E6
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLWSQZVDyo

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMAdtxkv2a

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5mJIx0ZNd

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzOdALSCSD

"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."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsss9araEjm

"We were also wondering 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jvbFl4tHF
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw7AqaE9rx
them, but decided that I would rather not."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJBxeL2fB5

"Why?" Daesung asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhzU6LWMJe

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4es9VWdum4
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ryNdBHbJB
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8drINAc4nZ
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu8JxTNFKj

"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.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqazLCfamB

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4b30F9XsP
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtrpWWHZpe
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7X57aqm9R

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dAXUfHckI

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX6qgpCHjQ

Everyone turned to look 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yq2FFplRc
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN8NPyvS8k
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cDrsxnmyN
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPLJdLQhc5

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddUZywD829

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7hhYiGRtp

"Here you're now 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXcvsFfvFs
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVs0NIudzd
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g3cQyDLi9

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoI45u4KxB

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NJgj7YS24
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ336p95zT6d
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO9wkIjtdA
something, quick.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi8FCN6MqE

"Okay, fine, we will 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIIs4k9gkd
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumCfxRlcNC
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI5ePpqWhi

Yes. Finally. I thought 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn78i0umz3W
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBaYXn55Er
everything was going to be delayed.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheQPxiDsM1

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OKUQfGT6f

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxdiik6tQP

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QsN6sK6YQ

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dnmb9Z2pm

As much as I wanted to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yiq9tfSNR
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNTDV5zZnf
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy7gGecpww

***1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXRzeUnnbe

Zoey's P.O.V1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPiuD25Rmu

As much as I tried to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ULC7X0Qti
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT86FcQIRLc
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4HOQXKQE8
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZCnzPnseK
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCraz7P3Fg

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeyMgXsaxa

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1fBjjvSEY

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnwvlSEKC7

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DDSWDr5P2

"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.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkjZTC9kGU

"What do you want me to 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr30MCpIgxo
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWeYyj3AC0
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84LCZJhUrk
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySOgGKwHcN

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WEi3Yj4e9

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCR2Ak7Bzi

Jehan shook his head and1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslxS31FSdS
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsVtPHJpDg
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnHGiqgmm3
annoying."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0bo6F4zNp

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFLYUZeFP4

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN7CFaskvz

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiupwVIw3b7

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL3ujFehTh

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2T8WMSJdz

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGtgDYATHp

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszuuGIb3qE

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDSLnn9MwY

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwgraKfWHp

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMkSy6EFuc

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXMkDraWp8

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jIzS5D9MU

"Yes, for real."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiuZ0fPBSt

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoglz2hqt3H

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7LEr0friG
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8sKV2ikNi
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJkFAIdHJW

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljiQ3VPCpm

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLQuLzWr9X

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT91xQU7YR

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLV1H3sY04

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.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2Cb0LuBKc

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmF7JZs9Aj

"Zoey, hey!"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN4xkoyDmF

Seungri? I quickly 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbbqsoxc92
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHbP0LgkLH
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXKbdVhEIb
here?1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ey22qCYg

They came over to our 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JznAngk1A
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqvCNA4VuX
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lg20CeW1L
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV25LhqSgb1
to do now?1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKVxODwB7j

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE4o3snDO8

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0tZp7psZc

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWuTQhKwGf

"Jehan."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpoYkoGZBC

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPUfm7dQYH

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f3hc2FpOh

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ0OKtjX29

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9cN8pftGP

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIAkoIDPkf

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0TiS02Ojw

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaGjLul33G

I almost spit out the 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjb2DEe2ZH
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWOb2jpG1Q
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmotwxCaJDe
to water.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxQ5Oy8Dvo

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwxjDFKxNB

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjk5GEW6cR

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmUkBENQMZ

Jehan looked at me and I1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtXFx6l1VP
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VZjAkLOEb
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ720eu8iIft

"May I ask what you're 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp6JMkHYnl
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eQbAY1TcB
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvnyJ2pbZU

"Oh, we just came here 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDR8uCInbx
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPqUk3gwcU
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYBISzJKDL

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurVOAIc8YO

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5q3YwRL8k

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf2mFhNAmn

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW0KEOMyap

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBxJz99jhw

"Yes, we will," said 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4BtopRPI1
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKghmJ7FWsV
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDKQCcfuEH

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jk20RKWX6

"You too," said Seungri.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIGYxusv54

Jehan gave a small smile1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7hQ7TwffX
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJEEsOqfek
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqW9ID4i9a
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaetfGqII8

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29YMIg1unF

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEVQl6D4kf

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EmztRyBFR

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIfektjzTr

I wondered how I was 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlb0JNk38R
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIhJpZgJgi
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwJN0n65SJ
head until I give the teddy bear away.1188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRusSnJ8Hgo

This was just great!
