Zoey's P.O.V726Please respect copyright.PENANAu7zud6FRC2
Waking up this Monday 726Please respect copyright.PENANAO0H5r56EW1
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 726Please respect copyright.PENANAeKNsuJLpUd
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 726Please respect copyright.PENANA7HHAdMCsPn
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0py5XXwkpR
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected726Please respect copyright.PENANAVWQXfbeVmG
myself to be.726Please respect copyright.PENANAz3xUBQmG5V
I couldn't stop 726Please respect copyright.PENANAuFUGDmf5Se
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much726Please respect copyright.PENANAMmpSSbPjyC
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 726Please respect copyright.PENANABsTvpo0BBr
feel that something was wrong.726Please respect copyright.PENANAEcrREXmYFE
Could they have known 726Please respect copyright.PENANAbdWAo5mAGL
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 726Please respect copyright.PENANAV04sYoqqRP
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 726Please respect copyright.PENANAiCE9ErpuSi
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 726Please respect copyright.PENANAWHnc8lPm9N
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 726Please respect copyright.PENANANw7Hy2EMuu
just had our usual conversation.726Please respect copyright.PENANA4WpjtZSq2p
I brushed off all those 726Please respect copyright.PENANAfKVNp222r3
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The726Please respect copyright.PENANAMtOhpLlY04
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 726Please respect copyright.PENANAKqIVHd8hkT
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when726Please respect copyright.PENANAY4l9rYKUqX
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.726Please respect copyright.PENANAHPebZ263w4
But now that she wasn't 726Please respect copyright.PENANA3tH0AvTHya
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 726Please respect copyright.PENANAWxtlKyDgzP
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAiDv9IYkBVc
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have726Please respect copyright.PENANAN93ThsmSBe
woken up early before the alarm rang.726Please respect copyright.PENANApQc7WII4ZC
I sat up on my bed and 726Please respect copyright.PENANAapUfH0MSMk
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAkSTDtoKKJx
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 726Please respect copyright.PENANAZKgfFn1vEa
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 726Please respect copyright.PENANALz539OWMtf
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.726Please respect copyright.PENANAB16ltIssCK
After seeing her with 726Please respect copyright.PENANAOKMtGsJeZv
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I726Please respect copyright.PENANAM8Tns7Zkty
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I726Please respect copyright.PENANA8pLpJUaDRz
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 726Please respect copyright.PENANAjb0oGkRcW7
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 726Please respect copyright.PENANAh1gdFEC0fH
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole726Please respect copyright.PENANAPlmc6YQGPf
day. That left me devastated.726Please respect copyright.PENANASM7TiATmCs
I couldn't stop looking 726Please respect copyright.PENANABp2byt4LJc
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 726Please respect copyright.PENANApvK2uJzd2l
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxqYZGT9uTD
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 726Please respect copyright.PENANAHPnabhbqvm
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They726Please respect copyright.PENANARdeqPnOJyN
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 726Please respect copyright.PENANACx97w0cMlH
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.726Please respect copyright.PENANAXSYXKXuB50
That sent me boiling to a726Please respect copyright.PENANAFcCdUEf6ET
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me726Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ9kfZw7aH
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 726Please respect copyright.PENANAhY3FjAeoqi
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.726Please respect copyright.PENANAttJDhPEngB
Christine had told me to726Please respect copyright.PENANAeVFqZM61YQ
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 726Please respect copyright.PENANAXUSKNzlgOK
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told726Please respect copyright.PENANAnvyU5QGl6z
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 726Please respect copyright.PENANAHlil7kMFks
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest726Please respect copyright.PENANAoc1HpRSEyg
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 726Please respect copyright.PENANALGIJs5UTV3
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.726Please respect copyright.PENANAlCflKcoWVr
And now, I had to face 726Please respect copyright.PENANAVpBLgbQz4r
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 726Please respect copyright.PENANAQAstRHVRCf
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music726Please respect copyright.PENANAUl8IU1qKMK
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAsqRFWUtLDk
was still so upset.726Please respect copyright.PENANAshD58klLG1
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAGbvQXAymGn
After I was done, I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAiKlpFAHAZM
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAZZPrQGSMnq
others at the dining table for breakfast.726Please respect copyright.PENANAEQifX6D98X
I found them already 726Please respect copyright.PENANA4yHc9v8h5r
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAltBQgOIqT9
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.726Please respect copyright.PENANAKS0JlISWyK
I felt a little awkward 726Please respect copyright.PENANAw7otI0fzfO
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't726Please respect copyright.PENANAjPH6W3LdXr
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and726Please respect copyright.PENANAmXBmvgqe8q
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 726Please respect copyright.PENANA1lS39II3do
that also felt weird.726Please respect copyright.PENANAuWqYpRVwDr
I know that she and I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAwZtUVXgqSf
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 726Please respect copyright.PENANAs3N7rHh5MB
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 726Please respect copyright.PENANAUNAsdWY64w
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 726Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ9i0OFTJy
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 726Please respect copyright.PENANATgyZmlML2x
like something was wrong.726Please respect copyright.PENANAZaumOVcFLf
I poured myself a cup of726Please respect copyright.PENANAG9Wb6KJ6Ux
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 726Please respect copyright.PENANAbIp004kexk
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.726Please respect copyright.PENANA9GDlLd4jXu
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAdFeGJbHRf0
My heart almost skipped a726Please respect copyright.PENANASRo42lqt8p
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know726Please respect copyright.PENANAWXK9Os65pY
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way726Please respect copyright.PENANAmxaVfu7qcI
too far. I was over here! Hello!726Please respect copyright.PENANAEZfYfEwinu
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."726Please respect copyright.PENANAu7qQBHUUev
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.726Please respect copyright.PENANAt2DyHbJODy
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.726Please respect copyright.PENANARVWlJN8n1g
"I have no doubt about it."726Please respect copyright.PENANADwZWLRzBYg
"But I don't see why you726Please respect copyright.PENANAbfbBPSm9PZ
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxfmqxMhWmh
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."726Please respect copyright.PENANACvG62FoeqU
"One thing about fans is726Please respect copyright.PENANAOLuRn25iaI
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 726Please respect copyright.PENANAFVcCzyBTGW
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.726Please respect copyright.PENANADaKiRZe02F
"I know," said Lee. 726Please respect copyright.PENANA7DkD8I8Zg7
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 726Please respect copyright.PENANAueBjpArXkT
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 726Please respect copyright.PENANARZEJ84hFe9
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."726Please respect copyright.PENANAwXz6tOMvjK
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.726Please respect copyright.PENANA9QevvB8dw0
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."726Please respect copyright.PENANALO1xNRE2pC
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.726Please respect copyright.PENANA7SbFAitrtv
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."726Please respect copyright.PENANATdSDe3zQbj
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.726Please respect copyright.PENANAc4xEzTeiUt
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.726Please respect copyright.PENANA2U6xYubgtx
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.726Please respect copyright.PENANAFOdtRU6l1G
"You're just too quiet, that's all."726Please respect copyright.PENANAN7IGEFMdJh
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."726Please respect copyright.PENANA96tBmnwXIm
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."726Please respect copyright.PENANARwP9aXPD6l
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.726Please respect copyright.PENANATVqNV2PHo4
I stuck my tongue out at726Please respect copyright.PENANAopTHQMwtOj
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the726Please respect copyright.PENANACtQKt7mSRi
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 726Please respect copyright.PENANAYIOVxYzh8T
still wasn't looking in my direction.726Please respect copyright.PENANAYXKsbFTfGN
Soon after breakfast, we726Please respect copyright.PENANAExc7wcmwbS
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were726Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ2G4iS6ge
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 726Please respect copyright.PENANAjtMaTi5i9a
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 726Please respect copyright.PENANAocLqDJQUoR
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what726Please respect copyright.PENANAEBuj0lU1ds
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2iuRsOXOuq
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 726Please respect copyright.PENANAnjOS6ON4z1
she would.726Please respect copyright.PENANA7O9pSOAk1M
We arrived at YG and we 726Please respect copyright.PENANAblfEEPlqOM
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 726Please respect copyright.PENANAPP6UUrvoIC
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with726Please respect copyright.PENANAKE8stB6vCV
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.726Please respect copyright.PENANAzCgxbK9K84
When everyone was 726Please respect copyright.PENANAzMY6TcnPVB
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when726Please respect copyright.PENANA8m3db4fyKf
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 726Please respect copyright.PENANA7PeGgLqGJY
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAN7rPYfT2Ci
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.726Please respect copyright.PENANAGw5NWbLgJ9
He not responding to me 726Please respect copyright.PENANAa4cfYj9hAE
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He726Please respect copyright.PENANAJR06a1bRRd
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted726Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zt7gFhsXg
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 726Please respect copyright.PENANA3gQmS22nXB
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxvaXzE8hae
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just726Please respect copyright.PENANA9Tv3UkxjUV
looked away instead.726Please respect copyright.PENANAaNZNCjF4jd
We went straight to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAZkziefANRI
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 726Please respect copyright.PENANA9igwtQ4OQj
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 726Please respect copyright.PENANA9nz7LsZuA9
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I726Please respect copyright.PENANADOHVw3aCHL
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 726Please respect copyright.PENANAmviTPT2yeQ
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.726Please respect copyright.PENANAD2j1GpI1DU
During pratice, I 726Please respect copyright.PENANA8ws6suYxHe
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 726Please respect copyright.PENANAMMkXOHaCs0
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I726Please respect copyright.PENANAijQSwqMmlQ
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.726Please respect copyright.PENANAJLnxVGTkca
G-Dragon wasn't the only726Please respect copyright.PENANAHCDWyDPC7L
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 726Please respect copyright.PENANA9DJir26QwH
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 726Please respect copyright.PENANAP0mCpg5Y5Y
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 726Please respect copyright.PENANAVIwKY1afUD
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What726Please respect copyright.PENANACB6T9ZYnrS
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?726Please respect copyright.PENANASeLaKXQG3p
As her best friend, I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAOmpHhFj9IM
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 726Please respect copyright.PENANABLEs5vYYIm
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 726Please respect copyright.PENANAfOhxsH4wCm
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 726Please respect copyright.PENANASPIJFjmMxr
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.726Please respect copyright.PENANAgfkRLcliQP
She is also smart, 726Please respect copyright.PENANAWK4WLQ8Ucz
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 726Please respect copyright.PENANAFn8t8j3xcL
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 726Please respect copyright.PENANAJBJWAN2qWY
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even726Please respect copyright.PENANAPXQHVskOK4
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.726Please respect copyright.PENANAHvbq0aOLYk
Sam has a lot of good 726Please respect copyright.PENANAwpsnjPWaBK
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her726Please respect copyright.PENANAHXC1FGc3C5
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 726Please respect copyright.PENANAPSHB3aoEGj
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 726Please respect copyright.PENANA3u7kMDqeQV
want to hurt anyone around her.726Please respect copyright.PENANAD1uFK8DziZ
Realising this made me 726Please respect copyright.PENANAp3jp0G2HUv
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 726Please respect copyright.PENANAD2ilvUPcxi
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 726Please respect copyright.PENANAILxcGBc1ED
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 726Please respect copyright.PENANA6YeEnX9XBQ
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 726Please respect copyright.PENANARcgZ2MPySE
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 726Please respect copyright.PENANAZAAV9b3x5z
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAdfxf73duKA
realise it till now.726Please respect copyright.PENANAA2bOkP5RHc
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.726Please respect copyright.PENANApaH56tR4OU
"Zoey, you aren't 726Please respect copyright.PENANAqi2EsIlShr
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAWIa5lXACqj
second time you have made the same mistake."726Please respect copyright.PENANASiD6iRvJug
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."726Please respect copyright.PENANASggXxXuHym
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."726Please respect copyright.PENANA4ywJKqLoV4
It was lunch the time we726Please respect copyright.PENANAzlvv3pZAOL
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 726Please respect copyright.PENANAUr7qY2fHd5
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 726Please respect copyright.PENANAyCos0M17y3
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 726Please respect copyright.PENANAdEPxSutUuI
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 726Please respect copyright.PENANA12dJJbZbZT
they were all laughing.726Please respect copyright.PENANAsKu17hcODz
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAnYrndQnTkd
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."726Please respect copyright.PENANAsAkqwcdIiK
"Still not talking to Sam?"726Please respect copyright.PENANANlmFpGDpYY
"Nope."726Please respect copyright.PENANA78HWiL7uzB
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."726Please respect copyright.PENANAp6PzV5i9A2
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAxJQyG0ikOJ
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAuKLkieKhca
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.726Please respect copyright.PENANA3MXjWbXT9g
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."726Please respect copyright.PENANAfhstwLlw2N
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."726Please respect copyright.PENANA7LoJKE1PFv
"I know. But you aren't 726Please respect copyright.PENANAZlsnCU3Hx0
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAwhiMRv93bS
You would be chit chatting like you always do."726Please respect copyright.PENANAkQGZUdwqsz
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAdDd2xIpFIi
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."726Please respect copyright.PENANA1pNdHfQ5od
I frowned. "Why?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAwjeidWOVPT
"Because you look miserable."726Please respect copyright.PENANAkD0tN0LeeE
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.726Please respect copyright.PENANASSJo609Tdw
"Miserable!"726Please respect copyright.PENANARpaUXcPP4f
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."726Please respect copyright.PENANAyhX6xUk87m
I thought for a moment 726Please respect copyright.PENANAlSY7iXo8ij
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAq8ZbCWOqIp
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 726Please respect copyright.PENANAWPii5asCGk
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 726Please respect copyright.PENANAg1yEcn3Mdt
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.726Please respect copyright.PENANAcEFXR81rq0
Seeing all this in front726Please respect copyright.PENANAyjni4TfMy7
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 726Please respect copyright.PENANAf1rmUEe44r
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2GMKztwiMB
Until TOP came to talk to me.726Please respect copyright.PENANARUBsO0JnZg
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."726Please respect copyright.PENANAkvOBAIaMdM
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAFQUsMNTCBx
"I don't know," I said 726Please respect copyright.PENANA4zcWGTosjy
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but726Please respect copyright.PENANA7kFkd8OWlC
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."726Please respect copyright.PENANAgeO8WTedZ5
I told TOP what happened in the morning and how it felt weird that Sam didn't say a word to me nor even looked at me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAYyQIqUIkQf
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.726Please respect copyright.PENANAenj1tLE81z
"Then why don't you talk to her?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAoHRcZdJKiI
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."726Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZpmVzTuoS
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."726Please respect copyright.PENANA7YkgW32MWF
"I know."726Please respect copyright.PENANANg062Z347w
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAruQCEJcmtS
"I'll think about it."726Please respect copyright.PENANAVVeMkGulsC
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAJxNXyxnHEN
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.726Please respect copyright.PENANAYdxk2At9Fy
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.726Please respect copyright.PENANAF0ugIk3aXC
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.726Please respect copyright.PENANAqAuEBhwyAv
The three of us went out726Please respect copyright.PENANA8zSyKfFCur
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 726Please respect copyright.PENANASAdL7vlQgZ
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.726Please respect copyright.PENANAhNWn77HUkl
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.726Please respect copyright.PENANAVBCL15taCa
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.726Please respect copyright.PENANAEqxGFiDxkm
"Chill, you just ordered726Please respect copyright.PENANAWV8ZcFQ6gk
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one726Please respect copyright.PENANAlY87v5r2qi
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.726Please respect copyright.PENANA3jJd0KyISi
"But I'm so hungry."726Please respect copyright.PENANAhMBAI1q2oI
"Trust me, you aren't 726Please respect copyright.PENANAg1Tut7X5oV
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxmrlcfIeof
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 726Please respect copyright.PENANASNt5WiFhs0
have."726Please respect copyright.PENANAUefHfFCQPg
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"726Please respect copyright.PENANARSba32EES5
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.726Please respect copyright.PENANASKfKhKjcFb
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.726Please respect copyright.PENANAWhEBTVgAfM
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."726Please respect copyright.PENANAZQV06xstSK
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.726Please respect copyright.PENANAN5tiF7bVR8
I didn't say anything as726Please respect copyright.PENANAOHvpXQzCAm
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 726Please respect copyright.PENANAqmt1YZddVy
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 726Please respect copyright.PENANAVOLXc9s2mo
calling.726Please respect copyright.PENANAFWP6k6hvrC
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.726Please respect copyright.PENANAFujzLMtBZN
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.726Please respect copyright.PENANAZZRY2oGRU1
"Okay, well you better answer that call."726Please respect copyright.PENANAfjOB1XbCJz
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.726Please respect copyright.PENANARRwqSrhUSP
"Hello," I answered.726Please respect copyright.PENANAVME2Sxmw4I
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAqnJE0Qg6Kv
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAHraaDZ7psj
"We have to meet today, ASAP."726Please respect copyright.PENANAdLL252tcHH
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."726Please respect copyright.PENANA0DuZXL52lm
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."726Please respect copyright.PENANAVJUEivgchC
I knew Jehan was going 726Please respect copyright.PENANAwzfeQMkbrQ
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 726Please respect copyright.PENANAX7z3ULiAU6
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 726Please respect copyright.PENANAy7ySA7NSej
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 726Please respect copyright.PENANAOtUauGRhuX
was upstairs in the dance studio.726Please respect copyright.PENANAKR83pE6iFF
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAC0oC9HHLIG
"I'm coming to YG to get it."726Please respect copyright.PENANAKgB83DClXz
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."726Please respect copyright.PENANA0gN8Wo01hc
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."726Please respect copyright.PENANAkhbuPDwd0r
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.726Please respect copyright.PENANAqI3E7Cfijf
He cut the call and I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAm0kS1kHcOX
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through726Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9VxWdki39
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here726Please respect copyright.PENANAQo7jyzJr1d
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see726Please respect copyright.PENANA8gYMbZ3gdA
him they would start to ask questions.726Please respect copyright.PENANApyN2vPqqIi
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.726Please respect copyright.PENANA8wIEJAiuoS
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAMPaUHz2nNO
"What?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAaI0pzGAnsT
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANA1MYhfPEUoQ
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAxOykimunCw
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."726Please respect copyright.PENANA30pXDU9WGg
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."726Please respect copyright.PENANAn2Mvvhia19
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."726Please respect copyright.PENANAlbxxSBWswZ
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."726Please respect copyright.PENANAcGVGAhbEqs
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAoibIiIjDsA
Dang it! I was cornered 726Please respect copyright.PENANAPEMD8wqVsi
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 726Please respect copyright.PENANAbCIH9gbwkS
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAKceA7s2Ron
light no matter how much you try to hide it.726Please respect copyright.PENANASsQkVLeSBV
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."726Please respect copyright.PENANAwPv4bfmoPJ
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."726Please respect copyright.PENANAY6tAOGdLDX
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.726Please respect copyright.PENANA6UVqP3lw0g
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.726Please respect copyright.PENANAjskRaX8FMQ
I told them everything 726Please respect copyright.PENANARBby0TebOZ
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't726Please respect copyright.PENANAxcQ1ILn2t4
said a word until I finished the whole story.726Please respect copyright.PENANALHhs2Q6Q1F
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAOkKoId6MtH
"Just you two," I answered.726Please respect copyright.PENANAYIQ8oEYAsO
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAyNvF8fRrqH
"Surprising, right?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAO4PsGorlPD
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.726Please respect copyright.PENANAJrcOB5ZKGq
"We should involve the police," said TOP.726Please respect copyright.PENANAYfcjh6vwJz
"No! We can't!"726Please respect copyright.PENANAlWQVRIdLWr
"Why?"726Please respect copyright.PENANARpebk5vtgh
"You know word goes out 726Please respect copyright.PENANAZTdR8ql0eB
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and726Please respect copyright.PENANA9SYzdUgvVP
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."726Please respect copyright.PENANAGFa0qheklC
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAUaREyhgowC
"He assured me that this726Please respect copyright.PENANAgfqWwXssQK
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 726Please respect copyright.PENANAkaJRONdqHs
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."726Please respect copyright.PENANAZlBwfH91vM
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.726Please respect copyright.PENANASXA8i9BjwR
The three of us turned 726Please respect copyright.PENANACOQm39JJT1
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 726Please respect copyright.PENANA14Qo2fsqLu
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?726Please respect copyright.PENANAEz4CGc3FlG
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.726Please respect copyright.PENANAKu5JIWOyuh
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.726Please respect copyright.PENANA3XDmswmnCB
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.726Please respect copyright.PENANAvW9iTrnzFq
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAC9na5YcwMA
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."726Please respect copyright.PENANAIIAJ3gk5rX
"Random stuff involving a726Please respect copyright.PENANAPfupgfA64g
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAnhBLMc44Cl
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 726Please respect copyright.PENANAGs98Rkybgm
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 726Please respect copyright.PENANACHFN2AQS5p
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."726Please respect copyright.PENANA4PIIwhLFmV
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?726Please respect copyright.PENANAcOdSJDB1gO
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."726Please respect copyright.PENANAXTGAPZK58y
"Okay, I won't."726Please respect copyright.PENANA2SDerMLp66
"Sit down."726Please respect copyright.PENANAnATvfdF9eL
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.726Please respect copyright.PENANAVABYa02UHA
"I got myself into trouble," I started.726Please respect copyright.PENANAm70CljrOk5
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"726Please respect copyright.PENANA0wOnXF9KK2
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."726Please respect copyright.PENANAqeK4EYvlFV
Christine's face soon 726Please respect copyright.PENANASefZ9Z1DbH
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 726Please respect copyright.PENANAAKy6xCcyni
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....726Please respect copyright.PENANAQrNGmg0fn3
"What!"726Please respect copyright.PENANAXOXfXKF7Hr
TOP quickly covered up 726Please respect copyright.PENANA5vVEctoTlb
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 726Please respect copyright.PENANAis1ju6mdX1
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 726Please respect copyright.PENANA1qrK6C5RaG
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.726Please respect copyright.PENANAFVaSWZhuDP
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAsqyimlFbRM
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAABqzoYmyme
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.726Please respect copyright.PENANAcuyJIrQVuL
"Of course I'm mad!" 726Please respect copyright.PENANAbHW3hRYwQv
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 726Please respect copyright.PENANA4sl3Y0wyVQ
but this by far is the worst one of them all."726Please respect copyright.PENANALV4dY62jW9
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.726Please respect copyright.PENANASavlztLDTA
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAc0UAUi02r3
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAcwmxeJZfY9
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAi0Spov7Shz
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.726Please respect copyright.PENANAKZeklFpxft
"WHAT!"726Please respect copyright.PENANAbRqpSWQbT3
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.726Please respect copyright.PENANAimiNUQRoza
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"726Please respect copyright.PENANADkYgpdyREr
"And the one I met at the café," I said.726Please respect copyright.PENANAPpTEH7REpO
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANASXNsC6XSur
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.726Please respect copyright.PENANAvTjMI9xAqc
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAzrv6YRAggs
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.726Please respect copyright.PENANAS5GdRpMAki
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.726Please respect copyright.PENANASizZYNQLhL
"Ya," I said. "I planned726Please respect copyright.PENANAWryBlRXCDs
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 726Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y31vxtqmc
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.726Please respect copyright.PENANA0vHrNfZIaM
"So you're the one who 726Please respect copyright.PENANAlkGiL5VFaL
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 726Please respect copyright.PENANAfKeYxRpkE2
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 726Please respect copyright.PENANApHbJ16RSQo
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 726Please respect copyright.PENANAlQiGGB1j1u
out with Seungri."726Please respect copyright.PENANAlbaznfXnBa
"I lied."726Please respect copyright.PENANAYxMVmgN2I5
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."726Please respect copyright.PENANA8m6gmAaFLr
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.726Please respect copyright.PENANAE7V3EqDGyV
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAMCZbJ7LJCc
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."726Please respect copyright.PENANAnZOkjk4oCU
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."726Please respect copyright.PENANAStYbIiY3Fx
"I know. Now he wants the teddy bear back today. And I don't know what to do. He wanted to come here and get the teddy himself."726Please respect copyright.PENANAVA1DhVuEM4
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAgnjm15wpuE
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.726Please respect copyright.PENANAuFTQxusAAC
"Now where is she going to meet him now? She has to take that teddy bear away or else it could land us into more trouble."726Please respect copyright.PENANAAKlHa7zree
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."726Please respect copyright.PENANADgnQ7q2yX5
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.726Please respect copyright.PENANADgYcOeWW9I
"But where?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAXhGVF0ayS6
"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.726Please respect copyright.PENANAfa8PI4yUUQ
"I'm also coming with you," said Christine. "And don't refuse." She pointed her finger at me when I opened my mouth to object.726Please respect copyright.PENANAARM1nKo5yd
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.726Please respect copyright.PENANANollfikEBd
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.726Please respect copyright.PENANAZMqN8PmgWq
I took my phone out and 726Please respect copyright.PENANAtAXNSapNug
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in726Please respect copyright.PENANAWRUb54sB4A
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.726Please respect copyright.PENANAUCVRkys3ex
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.726Please respect copyright.PENANAO6H8MTUpbD
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.726Please respect copyright.PENANAnzd4ypoeSz
Seungri had ordered ten 726Please respect copyright.PENANAjvyjJRPNSx
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAy7YnLzIRBv
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 726Please respect copyright.PENANAm8Fc86Ze0s
favourite.726Please respect copyright.PENANAWkGwfleYa2
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.726Please respect copyright.PENANAEuT2Rlz9X1
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.726Please respect copyright.PENANAYiIAK3okMh
"I'll be ready for 726Please respect copyright.PENANAFz0bR2BVfE
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything726Please respect copyright.PENANAPmQsBe4LG7
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."726Please respect copyright.PENANAIiRkvcY93v
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."726Please respect copyright.PENANAEeGFXsp0m3
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.726Please respect copyright.PENANAgxzdTwHwpY
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."726Please respect copyright.PENANAm9lHJ5CVYl
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.726Please respect copyright.PENANARYlZwJqtvH
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."726Please respect copyright.PENANAMvDqgGy4Td
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."726Please respect copyright.PENANAt4l3EWvHXp
We found ourselves back 726Please respect copyright.PENANAIhj5pmHgjT
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 726Please respect copyright.PENANAfZJI2HVY6g
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 726Please respect copyright.PENANAJRf6q3qDEb
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 726Please respect copyright.PENANAT5tSiQrzT7
paranoid?726Please respect copyright.PENANApBN5SfEy9N
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.726Please respect copyright.PENANABAUkinlAxD
"What?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANA7xsHAHDR7V
"You were frowning," Christine answered.726Please respect copyright.PENANA2gheoOcd63
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."726Please respect copyright.PENANA4VRryxeAGw
"Says the person who 726Please respect copyright.PENANA3YgjOsLwBL
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 726Please respect copyright.PENANA6whKWRaz23
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 726Please respect copyright.PENANAF7wPKDCjFv
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.726Please respect copyright.PENANAIWyuhU1p8g
Soon after lunch, we 726Please respect copyright.PENANA7x9ZLXAJTB
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 726Please respect copyright.PENANAeu1vZQUfdw
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time726Please respect copyright.PENANAoFrfWCOt1S
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 726Please respect copyright.PENANADR8Pgy7J01
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know726Please respect copyright.PENANAoW5DTuq0g6
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the726Please respect copyright.PENANA1T5OB7LDiI
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.726Please respect copyright.PENANAmgmOnappLN
At some point in the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAzCBA4twYJf
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 726Please respect copyright.PENANAHcW8tgHXmO
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 726Please respect copyright.PENANAXG7vNs1zTG
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 726Please respect copyright.PENANA6g1yZT41ak
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 726Please respect copyright.PENANAq21pSTAVmF
back to practising until we could pratice no more.726Please respect copyright.PENANA6pwVOayxAL
It was five and the sun 726Please respect copyright.PENANApzCSi4MAGc
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I726Please respect copyright.PENANA4eGu0gPcsA
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 726Please respect copyright.PENANA8DGAP1sjUw
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 726Please respect copyright.PENANAQIb44PLefZ
side of me. We were all pretty tired.726Please respect copyright.PENANAQSBkVMxw02
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.726Please respect copyright.PENANAGnGiZBzwNz
While I was resting and 726Please respect copyright.PENANANdQTkng9xZ
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0VvHYIqR57
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 726Please respect copyright.PENANAJD0b4O8imi
look on my face.726Please respect copyright.PENANARVzJklEIpo
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.726Please respect copyright.PENANAqGRGItqJEq
"Go? Go where?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAl0WjSVcLvM
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.726Please respect copyright.PENANAtJgYV6WfVq
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.726Please respect copyright.PENANAkkgNq0x6AR
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."726Please respect copyright.PENANAhmvcMMLOYU
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.726Please respect copyright.PENANApVksbCUtDk
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."726Please respect copyright.PENANAfqU44bg2VL
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.726Please respect copyright.PENANABhcXi34LTl
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."726Please respect copyright.PENANAc0meqBd6RL
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.726Please respect copyright.PENANAzB06EeyrOh
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.726Please respect copyright.PENANAEQYwNiyHd8
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.726Please respect copyright.PENANAu3MjHoPkqF
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."726Please respect copyright.PENANADo0Nd5X14c
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."726Please respect copyright.PENANAvumQ5lFYJZ
"Ya, me too," said Mike.726Please respect copyright.PENANAwGw5G6ifRI
"Why don't you want 726Please respect copyright.PENANAWGhTtBkTAQ
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 726Please respect copyright.PENANAi2iV02fbKJ
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 726Please respect copyright.PENANAnsmaNy8HuK
not to follow."726Please respect copyright.PENANATeCMmBXri7
I wanted to protest and 726Please respect copyright.PENANAOEZcAZO0Ig
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 726Please respect copyright.PENANACZVDvuZABz
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 726Please respect copyright.PENANAf2fjYQh5dN
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.726Please respect copyright.PENANAFzbtRtjp1G
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.726Please respect copyright.PENANAjvriPCI31j
Dang it!726Please respect copyright.PENANApmKqSLY4u3
"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.726Please respect copyright.PENANAfE7MZ1nsLE
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.726Please respect copyright.PENANAje1JUE2EUk
"Thanks, that's nice of 726Please respect copyright.PENANAo3N2KiDjIf
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 726Please respect copyright.PENANALJgV4efX4n
the others. "Have fun you, guys."726Please respect copyright.PENANA3CYDy2C2UO
Sam and Daesung left the726Please respect copyright.PENANAsFtO18BHB3
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAYVutYwDkIu
myself that the two also made a nice pair.726Please respect copyright.PENANAB8Hr4TCtmb
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAPgUZe2aCKO
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."726Please respect copyright.PENANAZ53etStxEg
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.726Please respect copyright.PENANAwEGE1pFmkq
Christine stood up from 726Please respect copyright.PENANAZrWw1jjzcV
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAT0V4ibgF4n
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."726Please respect copyright.PENANAu9Qdq2Sq1I
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANATRU6woHjV2
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."726Please respect copyright.PENANAsu4ndOLkeo
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."726Please respect copyright.PENANAWPWEosro4u
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.726Please respect copyright.PENANAIdwJEGGjQf
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAWWJvL1NUCk
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.726Please respect copyright.PENANAkipU4AqyV3
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANASmVf6l5NDC
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."726Please respect copyright.PENANAYFGob5kvWL
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.726Please respect copyright.PENANAoLYKwtZkeK
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.726Please respect copyright.PENANAgAWAJ3NI52
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.726Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kvb2mTI9g
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.726Please respect copyright.PENANAc42qn9U0dd
"I know," said Christine.726Please respect copyright.PENANAlSaqIea9G4
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANA9kWC2HXKyJ
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."726Please respect copyright.PENANAipG74mQYXh
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.726Please respect copyright.PENANASvLmE038mK
"So that she can judge me? No way."726Please respect copyright.PENANADtpFl7Vs52
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."726Please respect copyright.PENANAnGtQuhPt4A
"Don't try to convince 726Please respect copyright.PENANA8I7w8TV6PT
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2vHvAvmwkw
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me726Please respect copyright.PENANA4ww0P0QlXl
like she could hit me with a hammer.726Please respect copyright.PENANAyWu2foUMV5
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.726Please respect copyright.PENANAgf6o7s3wul
I got up from the floor 726Please respect copyright.PENANAs8WEkNJEPE
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 726Please respect copyright.PENANApLvXfbAzy4
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 726Please respect copyright.PENANALvHk5FYeCh
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 726Please respect copyright.PENANAPVGE7wkOJm
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.726Please respect copyright.PENANAisiNzWxQO0
The cars soon left the 726Please respect copyright.PENANA9jJEwLcEle
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 726Please respect copyright.PENANAlV0wxw1FcL
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 726Please respect copyright.PENANARePWWbsg0p
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.726Please respect copyright.PENANApXAy3CRCc6
"Can you you please stop726Please respect copyright.PENANABsnHRaBf6w
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0ad2eRAUM3
the teddy and lose it in the car."726Please respect copyright.PENANALlwqVejZ1b
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.726Please respect copyright.PENANAFH0ir3EshP
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."726Please respect copyright.PENANAEvlpEAQCBr
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."726Please respect copyright.PENANAMMgESaFhtU
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.726Please respect copyright.PENANAL7wTwNf32A
"I just want to get this over with."726Please respect copyright.PENANALrvr4kbGaE
We were soon packed 726Please respect copyright.PENANAFB20DwGRR9
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 726Please respect copyright.PENANASBfWCScec5
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxBCnEZC5DR
turned to look at her.726Please respect copyright.PENANAvwF19F4gTf
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."726Please respect copyright.PENANAnBWfPxEkHP
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."726Please respect copyright.PENANAidQj17Y3nL
Seungri also turned to 726Please respect copyright.PENANA5IwozLfnnm
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 726Please respect copyright.PENANArU7AO9ba98
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 726Please respect copyright.PENANAvpZRTuR19h
chest and I wished Sam was here too.726Please respect copyright.PENANAsb6OT9C1Oj
I soon got out of the 726Please respect copyright.PENANANUmEnzgsrL
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 726Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4KR3Pr7ic
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I726Please respect copyright.PENANAtaRWXRpCvR
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.726Please respect copyright.PENANABXxN7xHD4D
Before I could find my 726Please respect copyright.PENANAgGE660syqW
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 726Please respect copyright.PENANAeEiB0qpJMr
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 726Please respect copyright.PENANAJO1Anzcavz
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.726Please respect copyright.PENANAcVvHM7JO0R
I quickly went in the 726Please respect copyright.PENANA9Gj8TkQNt3
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 726Please respect copyright.PENANAntsYzOBlwa
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 726Please respect copyright.PENANAiZ79oimwQs
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.726Please respect copyright.PENANAZbakYvL7RZ
I slowly approached the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAyyTUYQSMG9
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0Em4lyH8mg
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 726Please respect copyright.PENANAfvEtXcc7nO
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 726Please respect copyright.PENANAblJuk0imAV
hesitate to end my life right here.726Please respect copyright.PENANADTkaijwGKr
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."726Please respect copyright.PENANASvP9DSgr8U
"I was practising today," I answered.726Please respect copyright.PENANAOXnScRPJS1
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."726Please respect copyright.PENANAhG8lisFCPq
"Thanks," I frowned at 726Please respect copyright.PENANADSGjXgoQe8
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 726Please respect copyright.PENANAzz00N96Hw9
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."726Please respect copyright.PENANAvYCVBmuUj8
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."726Please respect copyright.PENANAvMW5SWiWU1
I quickly reached out 726Please respect copyright.PENANAKyof4VeeQr
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 726Please respect copyright.PENANA0kIpWrjLMa
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.726Please respect copyright.PENANAeftaChpq25
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ3HQMEit1
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.726Please respect copyright.PENANAxS7c7gZYZr
"What now?" I complained.726Please respect copyright.PENANAV0OHNfXog2
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.726Please respect copyright.PENANAZgfFgGICCe
"What do you think? That726Please respect copyright.PENANAr1rYSXAOM9
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 726Please respect copyright.PENANAyGhlES7Rk7
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 726Please respect copyright.PENANAcvQuL9yiG6
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 726Please respect copyright.PENANA4JYzIJbEOm
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."726Please respect copyright.PENANAgAEKUTxXGj
Jehan raised an eyebrow 726Please respect copyright.PENANAEtlzWTjJGo
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going726Please respect copyright.PENANAoXWB1sgD46
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a726Please respect copyright.PENANAxrp5cUusEY
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."726Please respect copyright.PENANAoUpkOgyeEj
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."726Please respect copyright.PENANAiZwWnl8GGC
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.726Please respect copyright.PENANAb8qkz0JB5K
I went back to looking 726Please respect copyright.PENANAU9hZvU4FXM
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into726Please respect copyright.PENANA7sO8KMaZUz
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 726Please respect copyright.PENANAXsHSx7vMXD
surprise me that he carried that thing around.726Please respect copyright.PENANAAzTUHPspGt
Jehan slowly laid the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxgsE2NsXt9
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 726Please respect copyright.PENANAAMqXk6TDun
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 726Please respect copyright.PENANAXzsiV6daCm
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 726Please respect copyright.PENANALv2WYbsaMf
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 726Please respect copyright.PENANAAM0SHd5H0G
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of726Please respect copyright.PENANAiolZhAkvYu
the teddy bear.726Please respect copyright.PENANAmMOp6PEZex
Wait. I frowned. This 726Please respect copyright.PENANAIIfwDQVBtN
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 726Please respect copyright.PENANAVBqvP4j6Kj
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAY1fVdGNy5u
diamonds!726Please respect copyright.PENANAbWppIPCh4M
I stared horrified at 726Please respect copyright.PENANAuXtpgEGAKS
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 726Please respect copyright.PENANArjEWqFAHQa
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 726Please respect copyright.PENANArMN8i6O3yj
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.726Please respect copyright.PENANAc13ajGROqh
I looked up at Jehan and726Please respect copyright.PENANAZrApq2IMgQ
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 726Please respect copyright.PENANAQuDHBTzs4A
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 726Please respect copyright.PENANAgib2gDSERz
that, he was going to end up traumatised.726Please respect copyright.PENANAJrLpHLIZel
"Je-Jehan," I said 726Please respect copyright.PENANAGtCUeNw3h3
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAudmAukx9ce
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in726Please respect copyright.PENANAcEEVKBvvUK
there."726Please respect copyright.PENANAYZlRmN4Ma5
Jean neither moved nor 726Please respect copyright.PENANAN1XCXQdqqz
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 726Please respect copyright.PENANAplc5Q0zNPa
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.726Please respect copyright.PENANACHYNWcWbZF
But how could this be? 726Please respect copyright.PENANANTGnwvEHz7
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 726Please respect copyright.PENANAfcu5t8yUlq
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2VCi8egbaj
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.726Please respect copyright.PENANAYjsQspGxKP
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.726Please respect copyright.PENANAUHPfjM3lnD
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.726Please respect copyright.PENANAWZFNuYWJ5s
He banged his fists on 726Please respect copyright.PENANANda7LKTc1Y
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 726Please respect copyright.PENANAFaM2f5GUvx
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at726Please respect copyright.PENANAnN8V0eE98p
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.726Please respect copyright.PENANAz5FOZ452NT
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."726Please respect copyright.PENANABk296B3XOW
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.726Please respect copyright.PENANAS46DqSp9zh
"I don't know. I don't 726Please respect copyright.PENANABpdC5xjkGM
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.726Please respect copyright.PENANA7mrinnXTBO
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."726Please respect copyright.PENANAQdBHsk6PFv
"How did the diamonds go missing?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAHdY3uQKRVn
"How am I supposed to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAU01pF5HoJ9
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without726Please respect copyright.PENANAggLeVhbydY
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."726Please respect copyright.PENANAZXvrxcoScV
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."726Please respect copyright.PENANAEy3aljkP5O
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."726Please respect copyright.PENANAQkfl7Yfwe7
Jehan rubbed his 726Please respect copyright.PENANApVuAhhlMcB
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 726Please respect copyright.PENANAQqyGdaZBp5
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.726Please respect copyright.PENANAUXYm1jsKAy
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."726Please respect copyright.PENANABs28TySOoc
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."726Please respect copyright.PENANARrlBhBGa1I
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAh6JAf6M7ab
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."726Please respect copyright.PENANA3GyvnqPeEM
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAcVdxmAWDTR
"I don't know."726Please respect copyright.PENANA6jsi0GItCr
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"726Please respect copyright.PENANArog5SUBrrL
"Ummm," I looked down 726Please respect copyright.PENANAqRn0ItAFo8
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 726Please respect copyright.PENANA8KEinjl3Uw
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."726Please respect copyright.PENANAg8FSyEYRQk
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAam7sfDE40S
"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.726Please respect copyright.PENANA2kxuDZG4CJ
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.726Please respect copyright.PENANAPlwi4VCdu9
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."726Please respect copyright.PENANASwmWBLttW8
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 726Please respect copyright.PENANAzX4Ta4RlkO
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 726Please respect copyright.PENANAzc5qJAOi2d
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAEhndJsnomL
"I don't think so. Lee 726Please respect copyright.PENANAjYgwgqpZrQ
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,726Please respect copyright.PENANA23xM19Z17E
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."726Please respect copyright.PENANAwL79UhgVZJ
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAqJR080ch19
"You're right. But if she did find out about us and all this diamond business, she wouldn't keep that to herself. I know Lee."726Please respect copyright.PENANAKgubDOpJrr
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAl6ohvCN1CD
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."726Please respect copyright.PENANAmD78I6jhMn
After I said that, Jehan726Please respect copyright.PENANAfs2OpxzEXS
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 726Please respect copyright.PENANAdT5XXbMrUE
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the726Please respect copyright.PENANAw29tFswJLS
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 726Please respect copyright.PENANAww75TZpgNG
look on his face.726Please respect copyright.PENANAMELzWHrDCn
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."726Please respect copyright.PENANAPKiIRuc6hB
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANAEusLW5bp7m
"I remember one of my 726Please respect copyright.PENANA3lOCFJnYPD
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 726Please respect copyright.PENANA60kOmbL8Kx
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."726Please respect copyright.PENANANt3dY3t9ND
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"726Please respect copyright.PENANAvfdOVdSyUu
"Don't snap your fingers and be all happy about this," said Jehan, back to giving me that angry look. "I need that teddy, now!"726Please respect copyright.PENANAsQxSuel46V
"Huh? I can't start 726Please respect copyright.PENANArMmfxJzQ8e
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking726Please respect copyright.PENANARoNUtu41RV
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 726Please respect copyright.PENANAVlC26joXCz
that the bear is missing."726Please respect copyright.PENANALRpSrkVabd
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."726Please respect copyright.PENANAoWkXkUMz6N
"What do you mean?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAgl1rXEZ3J6
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."726Please respect copyright.PENANA7jeD83j922
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."726Please respect copyright.PENANA72YgdnIorq
"Now that, makes no 726Please respect copyright.PENANANfebziVibr
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that726Please respect copyright.PENANApOIvmEcE8M
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."726Please respect copyright.PENANA05ykPR4Cp4
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"726Please respect copyright.PENANAdbYUMiOB7N
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."726Please respect copyright.PENANAsWBOtzCQGM
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."726Please respect copyright.PENANAr7eFU9uhrX
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAPg3UgJUORa
I completely forgot that726Please respect copyright.PENANAc8rgQeAVNZ
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 726Please respect copyright.PENANAcF34QDp2Qt
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have726Please respect copyright.PENANA34EZkfobBO
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.726Please respect copyright.PENANAxCEJ3Y8BDV
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."726Please respect copyright.PENANA1gpssNcwcB
Jehan gave me a smile. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAnWAOR651x4
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 726Please respect copyright.PENANAKn7fCKSHll
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAO34m5GLZka
I nodded my head and 726Please respect copyright.PENANApROcArKUlW
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked726Please respect copyright.PENANAOrAaJzRYjh
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.726Please respect copyright.PENANAOpMuzs1JEw
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.726Please respect copyright.PENANAhHu4WovuZf
I sat there as I buried 726Please respect copyright.PENANAYmcCpc57jt
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 726Please respect copyright.PENANA4iVGlrdK9G
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the726Please respect copyright.PENANAU6mDD9y7jx
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 726Please respect copyright.PENANAwLlLT4a3Pf
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 726Please respect copyright.PENANAGTSQXhzb0V
drama that might just ruin my life?726Please respect copyright.PENANAsCzphVok70
I hadn't noticed the bell of the café ringing because I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I looked up, there stood Christine.726Please respect copyright.PENANAPk9SLwFtdo
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.726Please respect copyright.PENANAJjiGtObfkj
I could hear footsteps 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2jlB3ix7mq
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 726Please respect copyright.PENANAFgqQRphMY9
when they saw the look on my face.726Please respect copyright.PENANAl2hkyYmdkY
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.726Please respect copyright.PENANAf8AU0g2ScZ
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAKOFsYhYxou
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAIxwZeStlVp
"No," I answered. "He didn't."726Please respect copyright.PENANAryIjU1Z2vJ
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAQbzCTB3ffS
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."726Please respect copyright.PENANARyfLQCJCt6
Mike shook his head. "But who? We didn't know what that teddy bear had until now, so, it couldn't be anyone of us."726Please respect copyright.PENANAbbGwYoaLIr
"And what about Lee?" 726Please respect copyright.PENANAG9Adxz4zhl
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 726Please respect copyright.PENANA52tMSusUCp
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 726Please respect copyright.PENANAZMDclyatrY
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 726Please respect copyright.PENANA6NKD7wSF1Z
to."726Please respect copyright.PENANAdgeAkeOvoD
"This is bad," I said, 726Please respect copyright.PENANAHZySerhrlh
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAhy6dUh00W6
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."726Please respect copyright.PENANAtniKElDTBe
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."726Please respect copyright.PENANAc99gixWLK7
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.726Please respect copyright.PENANAXnx6NLIRvx
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.726Please respect copyright.PENANAjz5p6nWLcJ
"Sam?" I wondered for a 726Please respect copyright.PENANAwebisTPUNY
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 726Please respect copyright.PENANAxe5t64oFev
she have swapped it with the other one?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAa1KIux5nI8
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 726Please respect copyright.PENANAttZV0KSBXX
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAzmbbfMlgwH
what's really going on in the first place?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAp5U6mFjfUw
"I doubt it," I said 726Please respect copyright.PENANAgUwckAQBNg
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 726Please respect copyright.PENANAf0E0DFk98n
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would726Please respect copyright.PENANAQse1a7fqzY
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."726Please respect copyright.PENANAAuoavDdG72
TOP and Seungri looked 726Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ8Lw7oFVF
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 726Please respect copyright.PENANAidtoBCBlOa
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed726Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0NjBlGGvE
it away.726Please respect copyright.PENANA1e7yE3HzbT
"I highly doubt it too,"726Please respect copyright.PENANA3tMrpVJa7i
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 726Please respect copyright.PENANA36vZLEUjCf
she would have asked us about it."726Please respect copyright.PENANA2cpAGrNbOf
"That's true," said 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2Bi2oXdmEI
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 726Please respect copyright.PENANAsMO4RLVV7C
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."726Please respect copyright.PENANAkjauPsossD
"And I checked out the 726Please respect copyright.PENANA4dWCV88Clu
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 726Please respect copyright.PENANACvcQnjVmFM
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.726Please respect copyright.PENANAbfY2QjpKw1
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.726Please respect copyright.PENANA3b0kW2Q0Vo
"No, I highly doubt it,"726Please respect copyright.PENANAQGbopNAFUr
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 726Please respect copyright.PENANAaadjT1ecKD
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They726Please respect copyright.PENANAeKcLdYcx3F
said nothing about them entering a toy store."726Please respect copyright.PENANA5la4RLVzhq
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.726Please respect copyright.PENANAfvrwqkdNqk
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAJR8vf0hBee
"Collins?" Mike asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANADSYuJIdZtr
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAYSqPGFz2Zq
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."726Please respect copyright.PENANApJqy4tnO3R
"But who knows? Maybe he726Please respect copyright.PENANAuiSgzjNqem
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 726Please respect copyright.PENANAp1pdwnkNqe
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 726Please respect copyright.PENANAuKKgNEQYFQ
times."726Please respect copyright.PENANAZxAuOsx7Fe
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.726Please respect copyright.PENANA5b5jKdvzkJ
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."726Please respect copyright.PENANAPp7DbFBY23
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"726Please respect copyright.PENANAGoWYuuk2Wb
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."726Please respect copyright.PENANAK4KAerMLqn
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.726Please respect copyright.PENANA5j3gT64PyR
"He was the one who went726Please respect copyright.PENANAKMKZLOYrOx
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 726Please respect copyright.PENANAv6iyXTugj1
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 726Please respect copyright.PENANAbTRpNsK95J
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 726Please respect copyright.PENANAsHovykhgre
elevator."726Please respect copyright.PENANAc99wTkOKdh
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.726Please respect copyright.PENANAgQpdHGxHmd
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."726Please respect copyright.PENANA0PKDfZ9TI9
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.726Please respect copyright.PENANAREdAsO2BPS
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."726Please respect copyright.PENANApFxpP8DSje
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."726Please respect copyright.PENANArPWAp0BsCC
"You're right," I said 726Please respect copyright.PENANAWvpnAr91Um
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 726Please respect copyright.PENANAp7eOFRZdRw
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."726Please respect copyright.PENANA8XpwUtvv4s
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.726Please respect copyright.PENANAEV4abMz0GG
We all walked out of the726Please respect copyright.PENANAGccL9c9qgy
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 726Please respect copyright.PENANAkH7SeSmU1x
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.726Please respect copyright.PENANAT1SDzmyzGy
While I was in the car 726Please respect copyright.PENANALkQ7hfbYm3
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so726Please respect copyright.PENANAVQYVph6WMm
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins726Please respect copyright.PENANAv5Ya7snXFC
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 726Please respect copyright.PENANAUM2gdXAfjJ
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 726Please respect copyright.PENANAZrzcNys4mh
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.726Please respect copyright.PENANAQkyD7QK3lO
If it isn't him, then 726Please respect copyright.PENANAE9n6vFaYzY
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 726Please respect copyright.PENANACG2n5eRDV4
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 726Please respect copyright.PENANAd6xrcmTvcP
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her726Please respect copyright.PENANAfExSWCRDWx
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.726Please respect copyright.PENANA8xl4gnXQJi
What if I had the wrong 726Please respect copyright.PENANAK2BgwjdVba
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 726Please respect copyright.PENANAHGS43s5fij
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 726Please respect copyright.PENANAc8WjZPbNZP
place without any of us noticing in the first place?726Please respect copyright.PENANAsFAWfOEeMS
I hope I could be able 726Please respect copyright.PENANA5I6rTTJCE1
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 726Please respect copyright.PENANA2A0loQnJcO
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that726Please respect copyright.PENANAwWsLIUySah
happen.
