Waking up this Monday 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnENdGVyzt
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPzhK3DrlS
another, I would have to. I lay in my bed awake, thinking. I didn't want40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wyFZDpMPU
to face off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsizgvgb4Q
dealing with Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfFexqhaSD
as I expected myself to be.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡEksEoLwPTm40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V9CA8gZV6

I couldn't stop 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQzcqPHG0L
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF1cTyCbJv
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONqXq16G01
feel that something didn't feel right.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsXbbjS63440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVRm7ibOYc

Could they have known 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvRBHLakWU
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLHfJ7hPOh
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBdIXk099Z
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJudlbZvwW
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlH7BqfSg3
just had our normal usual conversation.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTUbT9Bdhh40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7EnQCHRLQ

I brushed off all those 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7AllWwks3
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSoYZZpfSG
last time I had ever put up an alarm, was the morning of my last day of40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2NXpEA7vl
high school. Eversince I became an artist, I had never put up an alarm 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmtyHPueaX
when I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam. She would 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrPFpPFP4x
always wake me up.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVCoA0a6Q340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnAjl0XV7t

But now that she wasn't 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5PLEwA9LK
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so on my 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62bVIBKorP
own without her help. But when I over slept, she was always there to 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXdwgyweuD
wake me. Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLJxxo47xP
must have woken up early before the alarm rang.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCvqOHJGNM40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDS3zAFkZ6

I sat up on my bed and 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV3nrkWYyq
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgcmNJKSRh
couldn't help but realise how much I had missed Sam. I don't know why I 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJVANvbsPa
was feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ5CnxWjwv
bad. Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8LWuzGfsy
media.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbGFnAOYN540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwahsK4XVxN

After seeing her with 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56NbIaIFte
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaenWbSwR7Y
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE8H6TM3Oj
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTpE48ONNi
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YwqUHiqzp
pictures of the two of them everywhere. They were a trending topic for 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ3yHarteg
the whole day. That left me devastated.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ1T8BTiHK40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN59dJely29

I couldn't stop looking 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR47ov25NtF
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSFhrmrSQF
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ELiRuxd3A
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUFuiawoX0
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aSJrk6TdX
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmCkFtPcHS
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡlamRBaylRm40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Mrz5C6tz

That sent me boiling at a40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yKZhcjo5x
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmETYYysNK9
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxetZOyBV2
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BxOgUo5Tb40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2AV1S7lhd

Christine had told me to40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDRMCQk4E5
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekDtOChmed
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppf0lgStC9
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvNyhppBu3
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIojbdWtAa
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZAVZVcSpO
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaVc33NXlv40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25kPEBf3cK

And now, I had to face 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TswdEJ98k
another challenge of seeing everyone today, especially Sam, since we 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOjVKjRXbg
have to finish up on the choreography and start working on the music 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdm631Hi4U
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cOvJ1atbi
was still so upset.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGG4yhf6C640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw77rSqiPB

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 protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKI1yYWW4P40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBOVHRXoa1

After I was done, I 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjde7JY9Urk
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfRkmicMB1
others at the dining table for breakfast.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g03t46g2r40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbCc7k44Je

I found the others 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62skacjj6L
already settled down for breakfast. When I came to settle down on the 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj0vDnNP9p
table, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to me, except Sam. And I 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxAuKHOOLx
replied back with a smile on my face.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK8sOGK4Nm40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RAvcKHv3O

I felt a little awkward 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH7hcKE0AO
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsm0W6ILVu
said a word to me when I came to the table. She was busy with her 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYlSuyCc4G
breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and toast with juice. I realised she 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ln7DASiAs
hadn't even looked up at me once and that also felt weird.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡag7ShGRdDW40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Vt0RAJCv

I know that she and I 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVuyOY7qac
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bxujb5btF
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBFz5GrFp3
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCZFbNEjeP
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl03QjeVvI
like something was wrong.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lc4OF8VWb40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9jgJpXa4n

I poured myself a cup of40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg0dWc0Ave
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1zq5pKkkf
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJVvbKcWO040Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vpmc8L9iQ

"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZgqRy7JMK40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww7wJ3JKDe

My heart almost skipped a40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3gyulYfFi
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIeT4q2Qzk
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he has gone 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6RODBRmlv
way too far. I was over here! Hello!copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQvSUky3gu40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjzRS4cQjS

"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 protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDda9pVllK40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OAnHFNKwn

"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEJC5BbclY40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dtW26xTsT

"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0OsTJNrN340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4cZV438Um

"I have no doubt about that."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2GadPz8bV40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03aArSgeDM

"But I don't see why you40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIZ5E1ccVF
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lJikEnoMi
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxzCaFelRz40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNmVoNOE1r

"One thing about fans is40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD9qJOsV1n
that they can make a story so believable," said Christine. "Even those 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Jkp3YMsL
who don't know what's going on, might end up believing it."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOz8gtR4VF40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4czq8XeXBf

"I know," said Lee. 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1TyrCnUyo
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9v1tV5sIx
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMKNdSKsQl
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RIO1VEA4P40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfnBOPebJN

"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXn5AxKOSC40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1W62p28SK

"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡncqXlHrcLm40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6wpTKiDc8

"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSdAHewlPB40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUnnwccLnW

"Alright, guys, finish up your breakfast. You know the drill."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡblyyr95bXY40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYYu51U79M

"Aye, aye," said Daniel, finishing up his breakfast.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlbeiwWJJH40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROSoeL9xpm

"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across me on the table.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BAjchyIDn40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpg3MNfZyD

"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOJSma2smZ40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6CUBHVvO4

"You're just too quiet, that's all."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡralCpE9loS40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFTa47WdEm

"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uuENHWlqz40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkMQozDEyc

I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I want to."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKnsDKCFdZ40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiujUoUBjqq

"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE90hzEqV240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ6hUapRn4

I stuck my tongue out at40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWp0MOzqs8
Mike but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKCWF1Rhli
the others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ1O1VYrMm
still wasn't looking in my direction.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZwODkvzGV40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0jV16JAwc

Soon after breakfast, we40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Xl6CmXUI
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCsgqtcpVY
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrZ5n1c7BI
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkShFYU2VO
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbqcrRGDhC
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC33C9rDlzf
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wants to share with you, 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TzWbfV5iR
she would.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pGwSjhvYu40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU22kfucV7t

We arrived at YG and we 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKwBnF301C
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5wQ2H5XMn
Saturday. We found our dance choreographer and all the Big Bang members 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGqR1FmeBu
with the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD8EDqehQ940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9eeLBUOCV

When everyone were 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS0XI2EO0r
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP7CH9i3nT
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx52MjOodC1
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83U91DbFrb
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡka8RYMbumS40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D1fgIoyMM

Him not responding to me40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjRv6ajunW
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw0pF12RHu
He didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O833pMsYy
greeted him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqS5WYffsD
weren't talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYabnPdqGU
even when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJI3NMtzer
just looked away instead.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvh62apjFn40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sR0xNYN3q

We went straight to 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfoBrMrEd8
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9RhdE3Geh
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mKZmiNk6Q
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close to me. I realised40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx6a9xXAbb
that I still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJkA1xf4du
almost hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlQ6kdo7yu
worst part.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡN90WOEm2Vd40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj24ucBrNN

During pratice, I 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwxX7yumCI
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ3H5nVuvt
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtN2yheaJ1
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgnl7m7jQu40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmxvkE3O1G

G-Dragon wasn't the only40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSFAzLXvgs
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, G-Dragon and Daesung liked Sam.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfWMhu3wFN
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCa47uJbjK
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQCxqcioHz
to. Taeyang already had Hyorin and always took Sam like a sister. What 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGOOs6iwCY
did Sam have that even most of the Big Bang members like her so much?copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfZtm2DLmi40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9BueJZYUj

As her best friend, I 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMaljByCZg
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRX0Fp7YWJ
approached her. She was very pretty and had a great body, though she was40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgTxL8gL6b
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty herself. She always 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PXfbhQKUQ
thought she was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89s96gNtjJ40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16IY7noemk

She was also smart, 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiBSQn0797
caring and always understanding. She was a great leader and one who 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieXgu9ykUs
always had our backs whenever we were in trouble. I don't know how many 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVzTTGhiUD
times she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSWfKMCLTM
that even if we look like we don't appreciate what she does, we really 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc0Qsv00QU
do.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvZ4Q7qXrg40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1P2VJId1D

Sam really had a lot of 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFwMUhzx2t
good qualities. Maybe that's why she was liked and loved by everyone. 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWFkN8PN9F
Even her fans. She was honest, when she wanted to. She was also a pretty40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICHxFDhoQj
good liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she was one who 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GYytTP2qS
wouldn't want to hurt anyone around her.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCws6SuJDQ40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJOb4BjTos

Realising this made me 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz65gEKUW9K
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgareIU7yXy
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtieFmPYge
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPlx60i0Xr
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She was 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdCcrl6zT4
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kyqydMoc3
looking out for me like she always does but, I was just too ignorant to 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDESZbZZt0W
realise it until now.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M0uV7LIA440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLaxXCT4cM

"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgzskqAKo140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k6HKFVx47

"Zoey, you aren't 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHLtGXsGqt
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmeNUcpNhB
second time you have made the same mistake."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QExiKpNu240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqWH8Gm3er

"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwOE1KLMsl40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO8XiPUKwl

"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVCrnXRXIf40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaHtYBFnpW

It was lunch the time we40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZnWGwC3AR
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLFEIXtCI0
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXaFq8h5wG
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wGqsnW5qw
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation, because 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWiCA0A3Di
they were all laughing.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ5DgonGbR40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BfehGnyLU

"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPoxtphfbK40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOqVfTibZJ

"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Fdu3bl1T40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVF1xf17jF

"Still not talking to Sam?"copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0DHDT51zg40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnhGCym078

"Nope."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi5hQyG7OS40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnXlicfBoe

TOP's lips raised to a smile. "You really are stubborn."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoVyCqBNMD40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7908HgaPz

"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnDk4gd9hN40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgX7WAGjAN

"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa6vrW484S40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvbpQtB55Z

"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WhWvUm6H940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq6trfaHp0

"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpwnJBEXLW40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfgfmdP2wq

"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb7RHyOMHS40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZV1oLvZRB

"I know. But you aren't 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa16EtlObK

"It's okay. Everyone has those kind of days. But you look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qgghXP5Kw40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYyo4fLnNa

I frowned. "Why?"copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpeNmS8eTA40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKq1DIehvr

Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqUzoNQivm

calling.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeLMGqmtWG40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctukhnT1cD

"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJVyTDvVwo40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHCUKpspSp

to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBl4XdsnhZ
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVwKlBqHzp

"Tell him you will meet at the café. The one you had met him in last time. TOP and I will take you there," said Seungri.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡztSnJue8y040Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TNo0TmYrZ

"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 protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5HVayIuBa40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE81VYvgwMa

"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgJJoGPfcU40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGEer9vIqk

"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMng97Lnfj40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmveaUf3gdv

I took my phone out and 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSDhNCN48z
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPgU3I3zqt
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqp6mzE54f40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNZ9XTo1aB

"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpwZ9VGZaT40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwruaJhMwmV

"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyFhPOoAbE40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CKmwO5zow

Seungri had ordered ten 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jj3shXQj7
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPzW0ieMOB
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTdsgJhljG
favourite.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA4jGrSkwX40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnZbqrtniM

We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMn7Lw2svc40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKC4HCmVoa

"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 protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpL0GAP5a140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx64KzltQGM

"I'll be ready for 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyavJAXcYf
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu0ByIdVEC
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5BOohfhCM40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bIaVhvo8c

"No they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdyCkk8nME40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFKlbuW8HV

"And G-Dragon," TOP added.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡz83l8KVXP640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGppiX7vTL

"Can we please not talk about it?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡYybAnARDSu40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZWQ9R8Fgg

"Well, someone has to," said Christine.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7IYJ2jSp540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsVDO67LfP

"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZeAkmlgka40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDv53N2ajV

"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjJyT69LJ240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrURh4JpK0

We found ourselves back 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCsCfgIn1Y
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcICINFvPPP
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKgGCxLmXv
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD8Ogn5YK7
paranoid?copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡg99Y7T1qMq40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXPzFCebs4

Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjqKUL7g1r40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ePgVrOGOL

"What?" I asked.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpL9XFg7rZ40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbapjZFH4Es

"You were frowning," Christine answered.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H8jGgdHG040Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBp1b5Epg7

"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ckyXfk4vm40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugljxgLlWz

"Says the person who 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68JwsIcaNQ
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZs31D8G3o
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxF8QcpBxm
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVLi5JXmQp40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEvUbXDn8r

Soon after lunch, we 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLrFOsjW9m
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWT05KdulL
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxplsAj5Yr
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbdYR1raXA
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfect and I don't know 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjxqkCbx7x
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY4IjwjDCh
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡl07ukNLyur40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59ti8kkAvh

At some point in the 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2BItVlEss
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLqguKMNoo
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tyyMHT6ho
will be helpful and that they would release it after the release of the 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosrZbVUwAn
music video. The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM9p2D9Prx
still, we went back to practising until we could pratice no more.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDETcC8wGD40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew1M4NtYTL

It was five and the sun 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnidPhpKcVl
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU8Jjbms0O
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fk11pPvnJ

side of me. We were all pretty tired.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdzEvFnt1e40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5JOO30bv0

The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang also left together.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmfZRzNC8i40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwfkyhJnN7

While I was resting and 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64S8ztrtOW
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju12jP5j1B
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk08AkGS44F
look on my face.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HVJA7lIE140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbK4jkxKNm

"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," said Seungri.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwfVbKAyeB40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6QI9axfuz

"Go? Go where?" I asked.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Y26QCTtK40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPAZpUFhZK

Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxr7g2eBKT40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbVHge1OZP

"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6qS2BDC9S40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGW1o5cWlG

"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXZcZ52CZv40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcv5bV0RcZ

It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb3OijQxVB40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBabxSsMTgL

"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzIQrKr5mB40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrrFtPLFL6

"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAyWMy2Pa240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhjSmvNmm0

"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxdomwId4D40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYayv20hWh

"I want to follow too," said Daniel.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvcwlEhNKD40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GIulck7R6

"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHeYE0wHQH40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡednx6J3T6p

I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what was going on.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbeXzBthOy40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTto41U72c3

"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC389pNqdx40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfJ2K5e5d6

"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CeiBTj8Aa40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrkzZqj2jp

"Ya, me too," said Mike.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkl4hVFLdu40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdTQiVLpXX

"Why don't you want 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthddjYiy3v
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfXZOWp7ZJ
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrWriem3Ek
not to follow."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡj86nhgM4HZ40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17BekVdCtg

I wanted to protest and 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88w57l2xs1
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0tcrLrOO5
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PcJ4xFha9
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMCQ5dJomk40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyii4oqprXS

myself that the two also made a nice pair.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42xnOxKOhx40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc42cepE6u

"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR5veU2YIk40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZTo16CrLJ

Christine stood up from 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAAlRlPWBX

tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSFozKx6sM40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXnRlpXYQI

"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tJeYX81WR40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHCa9IBfYf

"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNKlFGhLMM40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg4NzcXea4

Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUfm8ejhgg40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5L6gVORbM

I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BIRDAapYA40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PIjRuSjfq

"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrLPNT37bj40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY7k4nfSfq

I got up from the floor 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf6zY7ABw0
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhrbMu4Fps
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already gone. There was no sign of 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc00b6AkY2Z

things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ON6ynxmC
then, I would even open and check if the teddy bear was still in my 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC3eTHbLE7

We were soon packed 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8iB2JDsNP
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnV7nM9toD
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhMYnrNPlJ

smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without these guys. 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyx2AGCoZG

I soon got out of the 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe74M9FtM3t
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEp0J4mGTl
was setting that it started to become cold. I had my purse in my hand 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfGF8gYdZh
and I looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO31nfQdZa40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdpO0zttlw

way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWzcCItBVs
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFGitGRWac
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyvjNJWjDt40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs60EsOzSZb

him right next to the windows where we had last sat down together. He 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXhABJobCo

I quickly reached out 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0I0zvXYqC
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6LcXqwBqj
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHwBDZLwM840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQNylV54Xg

"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOjyCp8D6J40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfGCqlJnm8

I went back to looking 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzW0PCDa2a
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY3GYPhs6F
his pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSVnulIeI5
surprise me that he carried that thing around.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJv00XLy6d40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpFjquV4EY

Jehan slowly laid the 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqXi7V7ood
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ466ZtBkcP3
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡictXvTrrY6
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdwmvDiD1H
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5NX4hyptn

Wait. I frowned. This 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZy7XDov2S

After I said that, Jehan40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HVVQ8qts1

carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVRQrHZXoG

"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFzLCS5ERV40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrvaaVlanM

"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt1CHw0Ds740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74aaOEnjGG

"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQnezjsKv840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngJLDoZ1Tf

"You're right," I said 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbGplRkG1I
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8NDjBhGUY
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjOL4rEa5w40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnie64Rv3To

"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pZ71HE1k640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNzZdUQyBS

We all walked out of the40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh414HkFZ0A
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnScuX3Z0W
people in the café and I doubt if they really heard anything.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JWxXwQqhm40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojKXiXR9vt

While I was in the car 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mx3Rfnweo
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cM0ogXsgX
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEh9BA7tJD
was involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMquPhJdOY
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVanVzES1V
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡytGmfKNTVT40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqz7AbHHFr

If it isn't him, then 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCdL622QgQ
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORMZfHzUAB
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq1pyCBfkh

near that teddy since Jehan sent it to us that day.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ip7j6Llq40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF45FkMffn

What if I had the wrong 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4NSulu6BO
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnithcTh8m8
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFOqKuLxJ0
place without any of us noticing in the first place?copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvaP27lTyC40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA5Isz4WGG

I hope I could be able 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Yfla8Cjv
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFaA5V5QtP
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others. And I couldn't allow that 40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRopW6SwbPc
to happen.copyright protection36ＰＥＮＡＮＡf66VtlGhfB
