Waking up this Monday 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLuRPCBEgv
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjhkkHxjuT
another, I would have to. I lay in my bed awake, thinking. I didn't want29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNxU6UHnML
to face off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1xZSmBt1R
dealing with Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuagPvYnOt
as I expected myself to be.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJaw3eQlMq29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4gOZnJGKw

I couldn't stop 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfxZeqmPTo
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSSS9In85c
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlhRageTXZ
feel that something didn't feel right.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHvKLT8iHK29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppeXpsnMih

Could they have known 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0a2SkLgsQ
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3cJUmZ8gW
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GmmDMP1y8
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI8tL0Nwgf
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJizscVslb
just had our normal usual conversation.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uSOGvhwWH29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptSMQvyGw7

I brushed off all those 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPQXiBY58e
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvYD4rQ0Tb
last time I had ever put up an alarm, was the morning of my last day of29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjF46wAEc6
high school. Eversince I became an artist, I had never put up an alarm 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1WCYfdWkm
when I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam. She would 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFR9jWA9Wu
always wake me up.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbqXIubyQY29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9O0dUxNzK

But now that she wasn't 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlMQXL5bIq
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so on my 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT6p3pmEyj
own without her help. But when I over slept, she was always there to 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TsXUFSstr
wake me. Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnMYeKJkVr
must have woken up early before the alarm rang.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFFuproyK629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtlRTphf3Q

I sat up on my bed and 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydK1bFH37a
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkyhiM227X
couldn't help but realise how much I had missed Sam. I don't know why I 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSqPKjf2zj
was feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8wD9HiQLq
bad. Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gKyy2lA5t
media.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNAaCgGTND29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzmYp7iE9R

After seeing her with 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ZuG9bYZX
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZd9yLcUlh
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTRKRgRaV1
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T41nKazJa
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8aKhJvtDR
pictures of the two of them everywhere. They were a trending topic for 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1KCLBTDMO
the whole day. That left me devastated.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAO2xwwI5m29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOIIQ6t1Fc

I couldn't stop looking 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcklWC4s5I
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQJ3svFl9r
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNfSw6Y07E
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciRxDO9Igf
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA5aExFjSO
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2C1V97T9e
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡG32mysOW0y29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymwqUae3Sv

That sent me boiling at a29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj5otJV93O
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOQBQMKXFU
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcegJEaTTeM
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2imCtYT9SH29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy6uWzdSJh

Christine had told me to29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI6xjWj4UZ
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6dfPSqJLF
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9dBE9bR1V
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IDffWbz05
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZbMf1EFKq
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgAxSeH46J
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡNthBvO81xd29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfrCuHzFgA

And now, I had to face 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPzXBOYguI
another challenge of seeing everyone today, especially Sam, since we 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOZhmRw4VC
have to finish up on the choreography and start working on the music 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUSfxmX62d
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN2gKE5IUz
was still so upset.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡoehqAQSoNS29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBoqTLipQd

I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPaksEimNa29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E8UUFgRLj

After I was done, I 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s67JRMPzG
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1iNsczKBp
others at the dining table for breakfast.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BEkd99lbG29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE46yYLPPx

I found the others 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U0f2J6OyG
already settled down for breakfast. When I came to settle down on the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXIOLa0kUC
table, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to me, except Sam. And I 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSgOZPNKEC
replied back with a smile on my face.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzURZvIRUv29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNxi3z2aoA

I felt a little awkward 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTyzHjJHEE
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpxAdwp1h4
said a word to me when I came to the table. She was busy with her 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzSbRVKT69
breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and toast with juice. I realised she 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW32vKmfs1
hadn't even looked up at me once and that also felt weird.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSlVcNzv9n29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMqrmEYMFf

I know that she and I 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjOJuGFfAL
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Ir8ecutF
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnrVPOzNBf
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2syRb2xQh8
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFdk7mykQ2
like something was wrong.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdYkxbtHxE29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmpriefS1R

I poured myself a cup of29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74jFVuHtlZ
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXFQhNcP72
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7eiYeOH5I29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6phxHwNzy

"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQBxLNlkiv29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGCXmxr41M

My heart almost skipped a29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DJJt1wFQD
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIJ7ZgOw4n
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he has gone 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I4GFqe7uf
way too far. I was over here! Hello!copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYIFigQMXn29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxSDgmEN1v

"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've even decided not to go online today."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡrluFEtTsbZ29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJeaRdrFJv

"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnQMVBAhVT29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Nd7uSxI01

"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCSviaM9XJ29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUzQyQcdDe

"I have no doubt about that."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo514JvXcG29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3YWePaFuU

"But I don't see why you29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayInFcgcVg
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSbNIJDVWh
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo4Nb0pLhk29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fl7BzWMer

"One thing about fans is29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoZqMED3Ry
that they can make a story so believable," said Christine. "Even those 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5ruTaex5a
who don't know what's going on, might end up believing it."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3XxygHkpE29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeP9mrJjeX

"I know," said Lee. 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVmKl9pZcg
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvmY0f8eMe
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBseLPGu8U
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W3aX7Ut5629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSPPCbY2aa

"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3ufQFfgrw29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIGEGHUPVH

"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6AyD9Olud29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kivz4lfyt

"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y93J7bDBg29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91mZRZbP1l

"Alright, guys, finish up your breakfast. You know the drill."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMjf1aUgqm29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj3GYKnSzj

"Aye, aye," said Daniel, finishing up his breakfast.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1tnA6wps029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACES8dWttv

"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across me on the table.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡCszMwiUHWw29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDxjCoiNdj

"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGiiVjsQAT29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dCdUBYhux

"You're just too quiet, that's all."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoVGLvMiUf29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4aeWisTMV

"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxHSkebfW729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJyX2alkYz

I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I want to."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUO4cKoFAY29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8NgmHRkYl

"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNnuu80grV29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzq1Nmkfg7

I stuck my tongue out at29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGQJDSUYdS
Mike but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR1l7n3ZH2
the others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzBLBp8WFp
still wasn't looking in my direction.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKsdDNrO2n29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q5TzIMtH0

Soon after breakfast, we29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfRoBZLEZt
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl3i6EHfAn
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEdKxNtkga
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDqc12cNHb
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgowjGDYoSz
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxdZiLML63
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wants to share with you, 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqGmDIpPv6
she would.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOiLSuvga629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mux6ba4A3

We arrived at YG and we 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmBRlTD8EJ
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAaSXNBmD6
Saturday. We found our dance choreographer and all the Big Bang members 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtETXcZ9n4J
with the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJUCdoLdEd29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ52BrVeAA

When everyone were 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLa8E8WfvA
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYegWqf5Nk
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe4VgFmcTX
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSJX0n6XDB
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aYBoBpQqs29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZAMfwcvC0

Him not responding to me29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrfUmwAJIu
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvmptnNzkq
He didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRqLEGhQcU
greeted him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3l7YHDyqm
weren't talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27RpxkMkU6
even when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5YbQCS8t5
just looked away instead.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡengw891Dqb29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l8os655Fw

We went straight to 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHEj7bETvy
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hEZtuClD5
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGry4TFaZk
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close to me. I realised29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr2lK9xp23
that I still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3kB2N6E8K
almost hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzqb8v4NF4
worst part.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFUDi714lG29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nvaIfjgEm

During pratice, I 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCpDerql6z
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q8v1g063G
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab3FmMVF2A
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuRg6gRv6i29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ldrYsTpNZ

G-Dragon wasn't the only29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSQ7oSnpYr
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, G-Dragon and Daesung liked Sam.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59D9PZVLFX
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHjz9i12HP
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GHTN6LbvK
to. Taeyang already had Hyorin and always took Sam like a sister. What 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBTgKJgGvV
did Sam have that even most of the Big Bang members like her so much?copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkFeQNnRrN29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERDXrMgtPX

As her best friend, I 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSE0Ls6xDC
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhebyZVOFq
approached her. She was very pretty and had a great body, though she was29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkhnhI9ycZ
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty herself. She always 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuRavDCCag
thought she was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3btXPM5RRr29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrytD6syU8

She was also smart, 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFsg2KZcib
caring and always understanding. She was a great leader and one who 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOG3ZbGCNR
always had our backs whenever we were in trouble. I don't know how many 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2jqwWxYvr
times she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u6zK9kKlC
that even if we look like we don't appreciate what she does, we really 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxrCAqNh2B
do.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Wpq2FiyL29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VEsmaoT9U

Sam really had a lot of 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgosQ9BaTX
good qualities. Maybe that's why she was liked and loved by everyone. 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPufr5GenJ
Even her fans. She was honest, when she wanted to. She was also a pretty29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwEuY1FnUO
good liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she was one who 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif5GIVPj6J
wouldn't want to hurt anyone around her.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw6fKX37Pv29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUyL9ZRQdf

Realising this made me 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4LeyKfd8a
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qq7683Wra
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI4duecm4q
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEvnS387hg
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She was 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjGHrNPuKh
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp0IDuXQR2
looking out for me like she always does but, I was just too ignorant to 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtGMQyQZF7
realise it until now.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSGpPvbVn229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXrWFSJumu

"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVcikCl0UT29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0UMJxhHo8

"Zoey, you aren't 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGBpssXjrD

second time you have made the same mistake."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡMupSK9QOhF29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx7LjRjAyI

It was lunch the time we29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQssCLjWmS
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6b2rTUfy4
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRFtM84Wm2
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGTk8v6srt
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation, because 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6zw90p3gY
they were all laughing.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW5CPQMFE429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MQNgCWkzj

"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡddKTpjaMfJ29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwBh2Sc342

"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuSAvhuFGK29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwoq21cI5C

I thought for a moment 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FrQmWfBcR
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL8CRgtubi
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMP8dR9pAf
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HUtyhqOSC
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRxHchHe6B29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6oNJg4dKf

Seeing all this in front29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu2lDgdMFN
of me made me realise that TOP was right. I was definitely miserable. 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GuWa2dAQ6
By now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone.29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvdBjWSoaD

"I don't know," I said 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohRwYThV7Q

"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnXeEB2x9v29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW6SQzgzav

I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIxhHTRQ4A

calling.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QDUgQPWIB29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQhJs34Cn2

"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxljXRhE6729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMKi4sbWjg

"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvEeXfzQMq29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhS6KHpaX8

"Okay, well you better answer that call."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSh2NySDuA29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecYwVqA03X

"Hello," I answered.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz48N1onSa29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhRroC9OM7

"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh35jRDcu829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1jVxfm7gp

I knew Jehan was going 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx3ymKDNAx
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yndP9ZmgS
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OQfADsI53
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWBzuXk8LV

"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlcubQPWVe29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotfG9kytR8

"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXPyGw7piw29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsfdDV2NW0

looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG8Hmh2VLT
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He had wanted to come 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DljQZeTMb

"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2adEANXwvE29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIB0Mb0dIU

"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJgvto9Gdj29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5snP6wa1E9

"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL70qOendO29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wDvL0qdea

"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfYMUzAR6529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7So7FA8Si

Dang it! I was cornered 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V7ZjfETox
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrwWSkNQjG

I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEq4CKFoiD29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp371gkyfv

"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFaC0tMVnO29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceMMm3FIYs

We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist, so I could talk quietly.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnmPbH5jdT29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsqGrmMK5I

"I'm also coming with you," said Christine. "And don't refuse." She pointed her finger at me when I opened my mouth to refuse.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3omrjAbrX929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCugG9Mj87

"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NEzKVJmAZ29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeQwBv1Pc6

"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC2eKuhzpU29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9WyUKqnog

I took my phone out and 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKSS1y1NSa
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVioLOZhQPt
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tjpVC064Y29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuDT2xEsU2

"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5LUFvQpSq29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjNBbOadB2

"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa2roNWFnl29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxkMi9MAZB

Seungri had ordered ten 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W5HQ8fuB9
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkskVE86SK
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ght2ACOaC
favourite.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqPTPKwQRA29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqezwVqFaVg

We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7GA2m5SLY29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksBNNxsWDk

"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡia8lBx8xcw29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMBYfEyStI

"I'll be ready for 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUX4rTu63p
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoSYbFvEC8
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNWJGMudCl29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiUAgafP3I

"No they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrtt1vP7oB29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyCvD4o7as

"And G-Dragon," TOP added.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HLe3nLcUY29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxRqw361HI

"Can we please not talk about it?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOLExsq1F329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG15higw7j

"Well, someone has to," said Christine.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡntvQWwmMEL29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGRRcuVBC6

"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKs9YwwKIr29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aEVBaYHcF

"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqgv4NXvPD29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmmrsDJI9R

We found ourselves back 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oxTfJobk1
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhocVkN5iui
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVEkm7X6Q7
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSvuMKeaWz
paranoid?copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc6433BqQf29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdYo9ibfBG

Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe0EnYaUJS29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzBcTYjR49

"What?" I asked.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsjBXnpVTe29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY12twOeLYa

"You were frowning," Christine answered.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡysrEwvH8Vy29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbojzxCKNd

"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6MoL9nV4629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkM2wG0Qx4

"Says the person who 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w620CQenP
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI0N2zlEk8
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLtDOZkOQS
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqy72wvrrp29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQoZToCKD0

Soon after lunch, we 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2JAQL9cpu
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhfOV3OfSE
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MvwLoUo8x
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIA8iqUsCk
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfect and I don't know 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXBcLxgzM8
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUUJqG8l5h
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZR8EoDmwy29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuZsDiTxLw

At some point in the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIuuUf1bPO
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4JeO9VWu0
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenveQ8wJGi
will be helpful and that they would release it after the release of the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz0J3UZ56P
music video. The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpTCEIMAFh
still, we went back to practising until we could pratice no more.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUFGjqQGmV29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATE67ufEeW

It was five and the sun 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuvWezRdEX
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ynXa2FXCk
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedeSklnz0B
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX61TkALxe
side of me. We were all pretty tired.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡMblljnSOPj29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBM6yX9eUL

The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang also left together.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡewj5EXuik129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9ZN2j8pS9

While I was resting and 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o67p0rZLZ
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuB1B9YKoT
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX2wK4PTuI
look on my face.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡReWxVfYMVk29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w79Ew96wU

"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," said Seungri.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIw33PqVEg29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LpHM0RLLf

"Go? Go where?" I asked.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSNyYswtKQ29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEicHOWMEPh

Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC5q91G7NB29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSNt1s0ayw

"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvkYynOZjt29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ehul4vcPh

"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzm38kvEOf29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruAEboAY2q

It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡviRAJ0Cp8p29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpi3SkvSu3

"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AVlztJns329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAHH53LBgA

"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡQICdLKxhpm29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI4smgRXeT

"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUFovop7Ox29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnujGxb024v

"I want to follow too," said Daniel.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ8scHWV5p29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u6ObbRXM8

"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW8C9TmHbM29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFQD8dTZa8

I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what was going on.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HHI6c7wkV29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyCcfaogct

"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SMclYUhUZ29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjXS793Z6Q

"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTWPw5ITMU29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FwYiEbcEm

"Ya, me too," said Mike.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQCmyIzGfU29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyVXKa79qk

"Why don't you want 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcDz5LJ9KQ
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSvvROa30O
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplmki7vqgW
not to follow."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjNow8nqqh29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT9oteacnV

I wanted to protest and 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nOyTFm3In
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Ift1mYsD
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdw3CZhMcF
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7bmWHrFAe29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe2vNVa9ZT

"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg5bCEUck929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS1f7uhutJ

Dang it!copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WsTkY2Ips29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nWEryEIkQ

"Okay, you'll find me back at the hotel. I'll tell Collins that you had to go out," said Sam to the others, giving them a smile.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPAbcwTEct29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo25qxSmI1m

"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLKYXmCRzW29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyeDOl85PB

"Thanks, that's nice of you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at the others. "Have fun you guys."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FStzdsBWS29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXZKCqjg9D

Sam and Daesung left the29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xFcYd4lW6

myself that the two also made a nice pair.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VHF7Ub0yo29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn5V7HmqYv

"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡur9ep7B2Ya29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ452Ki0XnlU

"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0QRtq5W2129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3s9YEDgZb

"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6XwM5rX6Z29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWytSGbe79

Christine stood up from 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbfLVxMTU8
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOobgyaVbqV
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAqvPQDrSC29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmORViKCtYJ

I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRCsJ6SP2U29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHVRtRpgLk

"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR1OoNTPL029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozIAQgKLsb

"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7AfDq6gRZ29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO0zKijnLi

"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡStRvWBBPqE29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n01fuSFKD

Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhvL6Uz0Kk29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9cIJ3ZuOr

I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zsBO51VmT29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwgG51YpoJ

"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfnMKkom9O29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu7Hwnbp2W

"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T6wEcqeca29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ226fKQiKk7

TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡydJ1Oy7Qut29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0EsGJtE9R

"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRuvn9HOnU29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkYNzIDStY

"I know," said Christine.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvciDpM4ZD29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIoNeXF7IX

"You haven't told Sam about this too?" Mike asked.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpuaUSjCGH29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ph1cRKQJd

"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGDDpBzHGl29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKSNpZtNzN

"Don't try to convince 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBokmc53GX

like she could hit me with a hammer.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hzYY6t5p229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi8UCu7HyO

"Okay, let's go," said TOP.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡblgGMF55o729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2WzmNqJd0

I got up from the floor 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWwXJQsZZX
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvfEqS9yzH
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already gone. There was no sign of 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfKkO67fPk
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPhMN0Df0D
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NFKRRQwCD29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw8sbzkk8U

YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuyzglAUBA
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO7GgigBDo
then, I would even open and check if the teddy bear was still in my 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFUFrKEkIS
purse.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKVqIUwbZW29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31mBADXayy

"Can you you please stop29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5mSLDb1eO
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKukqW54gO
the teddy bear and lose it in the car."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡdahuR4aW9y29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkPjWpXTAv

"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBXp2FjyRj29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOrI9RFeWV

I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5uNAlRKi029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SgScci96T

We were soon packed 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgFH8RUr10
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGyzWV3zLW
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi3ohTm7py
turned to look at her.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkt674rYOK29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQOzxXrrpt

"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLawC9M8rB29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif0mEhg0pF

Seungri also turned to 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjvoT3lkvL
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without these guys. 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXvYXP5UcL
Their presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv1CRFU7Fj
my heart and I wished that Sam was here too.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4V0a25C1T29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeDiDwlYRQ

I soon got out of the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFOfDL4JFg
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviLwUDcPKR
was setting that it started to become cold. I had my purse in my hand 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x6MQJjbIb
and I looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡm01sgNFLtx29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sQRIuCMdi

Before I could find my 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IAOfvrrlc
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuKphA9BMS
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPlCG37jPl
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLjvhVE34629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT4cHjI9K4

I quickly went in the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4y6uQGDrt
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweiRRZUYiK
him right next to the windows where we had last sat down together. He 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUDn7lHPvs
was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBaAClCHXE29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRwsX0jEEK

I slowly approached the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aZq2QpXOI
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8ClwJHezc
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs3dV1deFS
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN3Ye5OE2D
hesitate to end my life right here.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjFCMVqsGT29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKMZ6iINxh

"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come and pick you up."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2EjxWfcZj29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdK2qG3EUJ

I quickly reached out 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvlNeIKIKo
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDunlHvPu3P
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDM1NgUTbf29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzD7gYZyyj

"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZAuseQS7p29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iPt63bQMW

"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkgjsBA8KI29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepqCK87ACa

"What now?" I complained.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GlRH97C3j29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfJ3mZ1myA

"What do you think? That29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4LIGwRN6u
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwKHz6HBtg
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9W6F65esV

at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nm19PH1ab

at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdfV8AKSEC
his pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSuGIR8lPN
surprise me that he carried that thing around.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi9KbMgdyp29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5RxxAgbZW

Jehan slowly laid the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f9laiWVaA
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYt1EbTMxJ
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6PrEm2Ux1
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEh0ZriWnt
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVr0X6cQTJ

the teddy bear.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDp91RecZp29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gWhgWJzT6

Wait. I frowned. This 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r1usYBEPu
wasn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopYfNUJyT9
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTpOaGLUfE
diamonds!copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V5JZwHDks29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i52Nx1pcQ

I stared horrified at 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBfSQ3NABH
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffing everywhere and 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtB9hLP2G5

there was nothing in it. No diamonds.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhL81WViau29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv9Po0ScAu

I looked up at Jehan and29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjXutfgiiW
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0DMNlY95A
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF5RutRnGr

"Je-Jehan," I said 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVoVHbgGlm
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg31lUwPLTv

Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlAhqurGAg

going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zDcGhmGaI29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIucUvcMt67

He banged his fists on 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJv9E0mqtt
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCi0moTAUt

Jehan rubbed his 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ilplkh04m

"I didn't have the teddy bear with me at the hotel the whole time," I said, looking at him fully in the eyes now.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs5UCAqvWZ29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPls0TFjzd

well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡogTtbv4B1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMakr2HO5Ae

"I don't think so. Lee 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQPrrT2VCW

After I said that, Jehan29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq576laEKCn
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbqP35Jh5a
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZoQFduwwS

"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTbRqM2dTH29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoFfhWoJ30

"You're right," I said 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tWLVyNNsJ
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V8z9rJSgr
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yMiZJO18929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eQMt7IRRL

"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvprWM6SRs29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZfOLbmyYO

We all walked out of the29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3JqCTSlM9
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSnDFQKnIC
people in the café and I doubt if they really heard anything.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡyflJ7LwaZp29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zCoonAKWy

While I was in the car 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeBiFecxAY
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnR30wULUC
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3c0sAn2kk
was involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTydcdroK1
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrpevpLpbF
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3XDlXn9Yv29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zJezbOXe9

If it isn't him, then 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP3Q2f3uEO
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1gUgLk2aw
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc6rqGDfDS
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVHsMKIQem
near that teddy since Jehan sent it to us that day.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH1I9XvgPm29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKoVFFG0HR

What if I had the wrong 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp3CQuiuJW
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8S3BFOjv3
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaN55sKLtr
place without any of us noticing in the first place?copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡInC37KPDUO29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZQGCHaVbU

I hope I could be able 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx3KBEppYV
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE5gKaJuWc
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others. And I couldn't allow that 29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWycNeOupKG
to happen.copyright protection25ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MR1pcYNlW
