Zoey's P.O.V1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzZqd2IREI
Waking up this Monday 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfCaeZqnO3
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhzFlZZbp7
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjWjkVp9pd
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYTQi7wjU0
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rxNqsgtZs
myself to be.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW4NIBub9a
I couldn't stop 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD9fzGTuys
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NVKXUlLy2
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x5rcuxDoL
feel that something was wrong.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffhdIfARvY
Could they have known 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqBKo4KnXE
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKFWBB2ANQ
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg5X0u7evh
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6av8R77loW
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CQR40hwSM
just had our usual conversation.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN03ROOsTg
I brushed off all those 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoJlHvXSJ2
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i45wfSbqL
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijn6MMkj0W
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAiJ9bqaml
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zhbtB3WNX
But now that she wasn't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCIIZbZDog
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDaiH62tue
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAU6KYZpgp
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9s0VCNJ1T
woken up early before the alarm rang.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x2FTajtTr
I sat up on my bed and 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJBRKBKjM0
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDiHUpy5ul
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt2Nrq7Des
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDaHCKDWpx
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmqI2YNWMC
After seeing her with 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NcqibjHVj
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2cRfWSJph
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0d7sy3gdi
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS5m4nnj7d
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhywTlHCiUy
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7GxXcA9Wu
day. That left me devastated.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wRtRfCt5H
I couldn't stop looking 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YL11aBRZW
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSOPJJCT44
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lLstJaumo
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBX6C7MNdi
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIia9OEwia2
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmomBiarhsq
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5r9FOGrtm
That sent me boiling to a1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLqDZ45bTh
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTzf3aZagn
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ4NS6dmiw
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17WXGz1wzT
Christine had told me to1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVYq5oHxFD
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt45ZbFG5Q2
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDvvEtcknp
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVnA2qDryU
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ3590CqYZ
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSs3SO93n8
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogFwOi9KyF
And now, I had to face 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOoBDAiIpR
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmPbfbRq75
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSkrCrXCEd
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpzP25ibWq
was still so upset.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOKFLHueSW
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRrh0AW4BN
After I was done, I 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEjw7lqu39
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVObbEgphyU
others at the dining table for breakfast.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VrYwqrEcW
I found them already 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNG3nFmFgf
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIpIHWs5XX
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnnNpE2y86
I felt a little awkward 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xGm9Oc3SB
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2DGZ9ydLA
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHZs2rZG4t
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrS7r4rDHj
that also felt weird.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPkc8eHKvL
I know that she and I 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHOcau5C0y
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWfCeuVW68
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kj7DTvLUO
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxFC2OKXw1
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdAPtG2br7
like something was wrong.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBasdkV4dIs
I poured myself a cup of1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlBy0laHAU
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT1Z0ZLGV3
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaocKmmSjt
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLHEJcF6PG
My heart almost skipped a1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1EHVtlXoU
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx72a9VOM4D
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0CcfjFYGp
too far. I was over here! Hello!1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA1ZLhKhZE
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHLFQJShMz
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgmWvVoZlM
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwcufV87lE
"I have no doubt about it."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNrx7gJKfU
"But I don't see why you1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yMgZ1459Y
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFAv7c4U4W
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJvXenNwz7
"One thing about fans is1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRpwzmXCHj
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG81Qg9sHO
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56bAuUuhfB
"I know," said Lee. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0qkY9vA64
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrSsGsL7wL
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF6dHfNRDL
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRfD414kCj
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaEGdx5OmJ
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A4RSuDfkY
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Yqvd2ddE
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK9m19WgSl
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm3dVUO8CQ
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKElWew5Cwr
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jnhGysoBf
"You're just too quiet, that's all."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYf4tGR8Tx
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrjLhOd1jS
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1usxSPoP8V
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBUFOB4Fcq
I stuck my tongue out at1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BnQf1N9aT
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQylyo4IZgH
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGy9mSqHSn
still wasn't looking in my direction.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7csaQb3OJ
Soon after breakfast, we1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rt3ziJEdD
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu4X7DFKKl
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqRhP6HUe7
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ947VEh3njd
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlI13X6u66
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXazE28tON
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJtT2eTSFh
she would.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBusD28Zb2
We arrived at YG and we 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYiahexDba
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBFnPvHJV7
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e0padoWR8
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHdHvdmVtK
When everyone was 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrZZp8PPri
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHgb4sWogy
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe7JQ7wOLl
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXjaqonDSp
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJbJeiqEt2
He not responding to me 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eB4tM1ray
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAYOgrMGvO
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTht5yF31Xz
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzZJ4L6FyD
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LMv7c0p4p
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmUeGzshSR
looked away instead.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtX6TSwMbQ
We went straight to 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphF8cUccUm
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMp7JB3WY8
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbndVCAaU2
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiV43iXOKT
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiYO4QInTA
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryUtHAdYL6
During pratice, I 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ak7cZLNrJ
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cn4Jwn3FP
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCrrW6ncLO
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiLnzh6ECU
G-Dragon wasn't the only1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kkHTPmQum
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi3MoxPg7X
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsac2sDxcs2
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKKq3CIHDw
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq27v4Ofdj0
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYJLHglpei
As her best friend, I 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAbp3s2dNz
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFDurp83vY
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD7RYU1ktX
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsSgj9U7gr
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHw4pzLXH6
She is also smart, 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXYuDuM9Sm
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HunEtFu5v
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MwGCsRPxD
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZoc1nnT0c
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yqYYYoftx
Sam has a lot of good 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvat06gBoW
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXafuYyhuwy
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpNVt9g3N2
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBL6Y9qoJz
want to hurt anyone around her.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvpNjGwACb
Realising this made me 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkhiNzpqir
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrZSFFnbVb
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi5oK7AZ4S
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LCmYLIGed
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTyUrrPrBL
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT5HjVpBaP
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FUxDTxVWH
realise it till now.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSG8rxJLWk
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkONNJ7Mr9h
"Zoey, you aren't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTgfHN4UBj
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJlp39DxDB
second time you have made the same mistake."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUnVpKQ9op
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchOM5RL9iI
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0adCpULgO
It was lunch the time we1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRno9iQy9ie
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghWLehAaa1
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCseATla5GV
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj81zH38LV
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z6doLQSRa
they were all laughing.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgYm9fkfJJ
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGIljmQWLI
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDUxe6LCyW
"Still not talking to Sam?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUZBskutq1
"Nope."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytRklVZorY
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfS3lsIafL
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGrEeaF3Yy
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6mQ39HyGa
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS9AwGX2Om
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeRfPzjSh4
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChDNvtTkoj
"I know. But you aren't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU1W6NaA9N
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL85Acx4SRd
You would be chit chatting like you always do."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqzhxWGTfV
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HWeso2bSZ
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmZfa3Xwoh
I frowned. "Why?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOOsMKoAME
"Because you look miserable."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kSSfyJ9xD
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl1Isyz6DJ
"Miserable!"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxMWW0aJR2
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoMccz05zx
I thought for a moment 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOY2bLWjmt
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIlYtqKKUq
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTxjgRXO8B
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPzoETv1Fr
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ2IwpJNIl
Seeing all this in front1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFr3iPsCWx
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigJtyRJENO
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XR5IZQRAI
Until TOP came to talk to me.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxZkydRjV6
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrum9Vp2LK
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5iUvqyWN1
"I don't know," I said 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO7KVyfgHR
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzBgIwaAQf
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uo6lH4sgh
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.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbzENQezBg
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wShedffIf
"Then why don't you talk to her?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoThurikix
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH5cpBdzq6
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DjhUk7bjX
"I know."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoUG1jGWfP
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MoIXLHoCK
"I'll think about it."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRowGHxqWTh
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bvRZ8fkXi
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhSPLPF8Qq
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSynDQoEKH
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31M95LLsXO
The three of us went out1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCeGaQICFL
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzHtIQb9k9
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Jp8mycHX
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMdYtfRs6h
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUVvd81zGv
"Chill, you just ordered1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgtrEDp1bK
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbtOGAaAC1
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAhD79DyYL
"But I'm so hungry."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClvS3l0MYC
"Trust me, you aren't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4yUJS36la
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9v8gcyGRw
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3J6BpUSsF
have."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L2VwxWB6E
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh8NtTPnys
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KkSJPRX2V
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkX5pw7Fmq
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBeH5Y1etR
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5A01W5mho
I didn't say anything as1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuLFbcsX1F
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyyjs1Yxo9
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDKzfaHrp4
calling.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn8Fxa4dAg
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK6GG3pt1j
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tD5gcAlDV
"Okay, well you better answer that call."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcO8Vvkktu
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUriX8PPBR
"Hello," I answered.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmF4b5VxBc
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJfrk8YuKm
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRpnfRrugA
"We have to meet today, ASAP."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgpjbG8NfI
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjKV5gbtnq
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp57YLHxDe
I knew Jehan was going 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYwrb81isz
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbGbchHSUi
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2iqHGA49i
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfi6HXhhsv
was upstairs in the dance studio.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb38xdPJDu
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvOY6a8vhH
"I'm coming to YG to get it."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPwsYErQsD
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6GyVPtRKu
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0IcEycnnn
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6FgxMC1La
He cut the call and I 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcnU8RNpTg
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqWwpO0V4y
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD4YGU1OVP
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1K1H9Bdb4
him they would start to ask questions.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBHkaPBFwf
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOGJVqeOMf
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pePsJsYnp
"What?" I asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAFg6KW9mT
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyedbOdOaL
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuRaiVEb7y
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0nJZQ7ZBD
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd62D1J5yb
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXGyFqDJ3b
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjHWGtKmTu
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErw1u4zkEO
Dang it! I was cornered 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB85HGI3maD
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBblwZLpt9B
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O27ypzKMP
light no matter how much you try to hide it.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsoZYllYRY
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYh8rexbw8
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAALWpnwioV
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI8iFn0RA7
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHcuzumS1O
I told them everything 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS7cbhQQgT
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jbvwoKrFu
said a word until I finished the whole story.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48zoh1PrE7
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Ohz45aO8
"Just you two," I answered.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJhNMV38y0
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpnKWhpMXX
"Surprising, right?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50R70EqVkh
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgcYKGCdNF
"We should involve the police," said TOP.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2gdQtuyiO
"No! We can't!"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWxrcbXVRo
"Why?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3NaMxfGc6
"You know word goes out 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rOQ3VhWTN
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcA7j3Ue5O
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCnt8P2XYg
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tgaufodJP
"He assured me that this1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVewzf6y7r6
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UH51VkDBa
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WKXLTt7Sk
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD3LUJq4j0
The three of us turned 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2mIWyvYeE
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVV91nThkp
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zts9eoV7O
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDQvMgu6wY
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ0Z8RDU6w
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsAvowA7qM
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxVFqAy6NJ
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6srKnoW3p
"Random stuff involving a1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQbaoPb1um
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS35m9Fnhi
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVPyTikyuQ
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y0iIGfYwU
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44oXS1bmDt
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBAEEIw8yE
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3VOXzKJCa
"Okay, I won't."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRP4h2YGWU
"Sit down."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPrklHe2oL
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOmOUihIGn
"I got myself into trouble," I started.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4iwlhRRk2
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPQRpE3P2Z
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1PBWUUjRO
Christine's face soon 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9JTZYETUB
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIckGSOwpZr
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey5ZcOzxG1
"What!"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWogZYy6kbx
TOP quickly covered up 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLSuDYZY99
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SsAN0vK7d
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKQYvo45Vf
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVS1M8jJRK
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUlAEBKgix
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4WIHdOwf7
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooDA3KXWpm
"Of course I'm mad!" 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05NO5pz87E
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cEUGZDfB2
but this by far is the worst one of them all."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRXfMfY1g9
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM1ZT5DHwu
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q8Tu8La1Y
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHV88wafDz
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB6eSZkXnG
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipUjwZq9ts
"WHAT!"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitJEHyeY4X
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQvbjSdhc3
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftWNt4nsSN
"And the one I met at the café," I said.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyTEJD7puH
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaa6iOj8GD
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNVNhmtHSu
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW0fF5dwz5
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aCyjgRcay
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6POLNNo4Y
"Ya," I said. "I planned1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kZhx0FwvT
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIvEDChk3k
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvHqVZiq6g
"So you're the one who 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5o9DvO9hO
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwYIddWxRv
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKsxwfpRvE
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0uNJzbDgz
out with Seungri."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkekRhMZicA
"I lied."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspLGbBYZa6
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29glCWGpYK
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn2968YSXD
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGjzZsWStX
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQW8jb5XDh
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFXhemC9vT
"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."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jrYVHtVMV
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDwPzylkbB
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0lqjcLjNW
"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."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzL3PetmAD
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEx29uyT51
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWm5cfdqlb
"But where?" I asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkccHn5Scn3
"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.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ7GeBHlOV
"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.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSsCTuIoCr
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIzRuLzdfI
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxdUQLFzOS
I took my phone out and 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJgGrYV1Fx
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzXQzXYlNy
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgVKAPi54R
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DIz9NK0g7
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT9VNSjoaU
Seungri had ordered ten 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ90QqrU4Q2
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvY5cvnZZc
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAX07SgI7V
favourite.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3AG1zRRO6
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMq9GbyJ4v
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY81YACaCWU
"I'll be ready for 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmGnFAUoOY
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tmj0eMypi
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZxdUPMrEw
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OHZeNnFUg
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhXZPshU8q
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdpwejJy1L
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVE4r9E6St
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZVAgQvYJh
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNWzNP4IZk
We found ourselves back 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk9lX2skAk
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4x36iZVl0
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn2wdatpLg
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNdsk9U0i0
paranoid?1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4gJ8tUsGW
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8dFLn3LcW
"What?" I asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNtjfB8HQk
"You were frowning," Christine answered.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp0exScj0V
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXvVOc0snL
"Says the person who 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vnuHm8IIO
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n22s3a4kp
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zrrO0lwV2
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEtkePsSZa
Soon after lunch, we 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CLZXjdbHC
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM3RzfhHdy
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRPwijjdcc
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUzfXORgHi
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG49RIoCJpr
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv3iy2AUUY
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZirgdHCEQq
At some point in the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03G2D29GOo
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgH9K7WPri
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KxImcoUY3
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn08E2dOKs9
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTAMIH7BdZ
back to practising until we could pratice no more.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaulHW042IX
It was five and the sun 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmFWzC3g6D
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIjQTAmZv7
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1N6LZeGXt
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxGbNbCO5N
side of me. We were all pretty tired.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIFJo1abim
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE6MKFUjXy
While I was resting and 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xcHunJKIy
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdwXZyBOkn
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ksOkWk4rz
look on my face.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMJuEZtfsD
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUr5fFMpW9
"Go? Go where?" I asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnhtojZdwr
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Gu8v9Ck2
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn5qy5obGP
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1JKXpvI4F
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivZvS2PVSs
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrWqN8iyH7
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUObr5jezu
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh3gAJZV5o
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvXHf57Aze
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1QiQn5hH2
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwtYc1YfAM
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV75KijVYI
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedpT8qRAm4
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2G3NGQihE
"Why don't you want 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C67qQvuCZ
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIYsUbqQot
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPrtyefz8j
not to follow."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjjboayOHb
I wanted to protest and 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7UacQgnyC
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFq2vc7ukJ
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTwVedobDw
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cIPwGEfbn
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7TS9vqZYr
Dang it!1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf8eu88fe6
"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.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6iqvi330x
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkwYakHsVj
"Thanks, that's nice of 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMjZwwo3ca
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCvFf3VaNJ
the others. "Have fun you, guys."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDktRjTW2W
Sam and Daesung left the1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UUy2y5Nll
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX4OsKxLBz
myself that the two also made a nice pair.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmCWmCwvfw
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYwN3dewvn
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r3XYua4ob
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjvlgirM2o
Christine stood up from 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDSGCXRprK
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDQHx0zr4H
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXHSIbILkZ
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkNPDtVZlw
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3RaxdGBSS
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFky0JidGU
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKjiykll0u
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMILuq9eFt
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWA0QZspq6
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaadJ8b19XQ
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnhiB50tHc
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwg2wOtWqB
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFnf4RsC3O
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5FXkTThu4
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEbUt1G9dJ
"I know," said Christine.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm7P1G59Ek
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnnEYL326c
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLWTJUWqDB
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUIn7vqkju
"So that she can judge me? No way."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEyEXrFb2k
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviq57q6PiG
"Don't try to convince 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi2B56r9DS
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkiaziVQoN
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPYB10PQdF
like she could hit me with a hammer.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS3wbB8Wpy
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjLgtdPB9E
I got up from the floor 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6md7YCE9vp
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGogMmoICJ
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxFU2fNnMp
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIEnnG9cdg
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHTbxbMDpT
The cars soon left the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tLD6RUR5o
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn9qzYLeZk
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PgqxCuTsF
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtunte26pE
"Can you you please stop1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd9AD0IjbP
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eXUdYbUL4
the teddy and lose it in the car."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEbXadnZ78
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY4DW4qF91
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O3tbOnSOi
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDN1pbB4JA
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6boMv9ePTX
"I just want to get this over with."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndeWI2GYx8
We were soon packed 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujOC7fAITc
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC0Rt0Ukuy
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIL4Dp04ZP
turned to look at her.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtqEIumXH7
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yYVmi4fZD
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCn9tbEuxi
Seungri also turned to 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIXLDB3M3Q
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2StnRbLiJ
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2YJrm6m7A
chest and I wished Sam was here too.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmK5P6KzhJ
I soon got out of the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAUNRAUo6o
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt99ziy7S3
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUKX3pWiFP
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUwqfoOhUY
Before I could find my 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQEJ9afX7s
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qlwhHO7tG
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM0y5C8wzc
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NabcyWWOZ
I quickly went in the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp5rBU2lSE
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcrSyc4QdD
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK4DuZ1k61
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvqzFLqzNk
I slowly approached the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRTya0SIS9
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFDUPWgbmL
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc41I5jQRnJ
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TeOhsdYhq
hesitate to end my life right here.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEsiw8vt5o
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXgllncyzA
"I was practising today," I answered.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0BHHtVuZG
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HYtroAdUZ
"Thanks," I frowned at 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyCsIXIEXf
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwLgbrw0xp
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuFM2mMCsB
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9IBEnwWf5
I quickly reached out 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNNHWbs8KV
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3xJ1azU7E
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJcGtnid8t
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBSggCeeZP
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOaCFGyOXM
"What now?" I complained.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUsoKi0t8s
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX5Y0wlZNu
"What do you think? That1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D0uPCwce4
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnneeK8H4O6
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgVZuFqlv0
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqtxYhmHqM
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTuA0eIfA8
Jehan raised an eyebrow 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tdLyV61pM
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRYSz2bbU2
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ6xz0CQEh
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygmLN4NUlr
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YxxHeSo8r
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgkeeAWSZ1
I went back to looking 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50yJU7BeNG
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhPyIBhfrD
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpaIZL4wNW
surprise me that he carried that thing around.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTFlIyx9yZ
Jehan slowly laid the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyltAZLVO5
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfJB8gPoDt
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IPwNY1sik
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuSLaVz6el
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ05CwdleP
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEMd08yKo6
the teddy bear.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4WtcfsaG8
Wait. I frowned. This 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnXbaMu6NT
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8C11jrTtF
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0awvKIjDA4
diamonds!1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS35niOEExc
I stared horrified at 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqWknyjFft
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnj61a4MHe
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt23ISJMfiO
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI54wOG9hK7
I looked up at Jehan and1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK0hg8HVSV
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ibholSlFp
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF6j8J94gE
that, he was going to end up traumatised.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCEbBHp7DD
"Je-Jehan," I said 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFXNVHbhev
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr50e4SFQOo
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvPYeP3mDV
there."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZtPrcynbp
Jean neither moved nor 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcKsUHEMCW
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZZt0BArmS
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNPKXjcIEI
But how could this be? 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWBDPnbeC6
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCVBqxW2rB
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYKVJR0yKi
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGicQu7gbJ
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1pmaprqdq
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFEaBLcKCN
He banged his fists on 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNrAMKNbPi
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFslw2qSEP1
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3nIXndcNK
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z3NlVPzol
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5SfXhHvx9
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhn0N4eEGV
"I don't know. I don't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsWVGTydeV
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPDQs6BGmA
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56vWKaaPWg
"How did the diamonds go missing?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5y3VgahAp
"How am I supposed to 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKfwJIA6x6
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5DbQbBMMo
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIOh5J8ZSc
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1riUs5U7BQ
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnMW7gUl0W
Jehan rubbed his 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGmRTIqxrN
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQjVBGpdM2
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9lR5Ujtjk
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaAeY5diIj
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dWEsGIkax
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGZ7eK2om5
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnhsyNLUmF
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR3jL2RwAL
"I don't know."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg1pB8NHC4
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVrg6x3ltz
"Ummm," I looked down 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XgZeAefBy
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8X8S5BTVN
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz4a5WBEZv
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nnP1osE19
"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.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncvDPeMTsG
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffFbvQniJt
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljtn6qpBVo
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkNjZJvzhq
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv0OYiZa6p
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHUFTl3jwH
"I don't think so. Lee 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArNgRgaKn1
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4ypOL1FsI
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXeruzybLs
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0R6tUG87r
"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."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWjfhMbVHM
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoh9UdFmgP
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0P1wpF838
After I said that, Jehan1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGLCJulUZw
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAIWKxmxd5
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbrccXNFzP
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfjyAMRRNL
look on his face.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRj1lNvlUA
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl2UyrQUrp
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdaPoLpSK7
"I remember one of my 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTyoiIF6Ls
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJttBx9wdBe
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjgibTLUmA
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyVayJBRHV
"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!"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl489fFktzA
"Huh? I can't start 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWbD7KZEbX
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEVht5QV5z
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrcyAWqge6
that the bear is missing."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorBunyuLx8
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmVh924UQS
"What do you mean?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2XDKUOl4J
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoX9WW4T5m
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmw2irATv1
"Now that, makes no 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMPTjv3Dhl
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTch5IdC5fs
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAhVDC8X06
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi16OoAWp1Z
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbujAYgBX8l
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHjfkCqmjB
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uzff8CvKR
I completely forgot that1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqqCk9xes1
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXA5D1HLNk
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDq8QLGs1i
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3eWGAK2Ik
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoz3XYZAvl
Jehan gave me a smile. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek8LIB70cE
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWrcwmYQnr
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9HXLaAvlA
I nodded my head and 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ISfWs0vzd
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyFQGDao8e
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE7TRQePFc
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvMUwNJ9Me
I sat there as I buried 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWb3fWCp6D
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv29GTrCulm
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv2pukSpj2
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiAEfgSRIl
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOdal1XVPf
drama that might just ruin my life?1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21zoJMcJOO
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.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5JTAOKzet
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheJxCUam8Z
I could hear footsteps 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjhe12Esh3
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNzrs9Hsqk
when they saw the look on my face.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDCAe9YKmQ
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVHivC3czU
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hyBlPnkZw
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjC2wI1aEL
"No," I answered. "He didn't."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRraDwZSdP
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GZ9CEC24Q
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38WhVEqKOK
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."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo8t3xGfEX
"And what about Lee?" 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFhiRGGXSX
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R4dq8V15C
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3joYLtIkc
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmCl4W8yQn
to."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oVN88Q2j2
"This is bad," I said, 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay6lETe5I9
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ryqEMvY3
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeldQYurZA
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ZG2KLTkS
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cgdtj4Wz0
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWixBv1i7s0
"Sam?" I wondered for a 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUUy1l3cnt
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9oje8cC37
she have swapped it with the other one?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZIp66WSV4
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGn1HJZxV1
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEu24FVbUI
what's really going on in the first place?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21D0ltqtn0
"I doubt it," I said 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRXqqLN9su
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1XE2zNUkD
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqM0cdnzFn
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LdSUMtZO1
TOP and Seungri looked 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hf5m11WVX
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDoJbJ7Uoc
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50PWFOdUYw
it away.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9aaS2Xf0h
"I highly doubt it too,"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhfzXBncUT
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekfUwShYgd
she would have asked us about it."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEI3HV0ysU
"That's true," said 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSULgyyyCB
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMtAnGDVdI
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6flTdGng0
"And I checked out the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9bZKadVNq
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF0b52yZMR
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx0kOp0kaX
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXNi91u69O
"No, I highly doubt it,"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HiMfszLhl
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ZkL08IRs
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVZSO1D1i9
said nothing about them entering a toy store."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U0T195erY
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwScmC3d1r
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlMRSWMujP
"Collins?" Mike asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO7cjto9y0
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRZHuavkTY
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoi5ILcEas
"But who knows? Maybe he1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6CgE4cdhh
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DXXHx05bl
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU68PQZlpbP
times."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0FxkZXIW2
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MUjvkTC90
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUCwshKors
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYEcctQuMx
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHOZTI77Va
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2zknSPXs9
"He was the one who went1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIb0Zfo7ch
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsDv6oRpDs
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwciq9oF4lT
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk5jt5RMHY
elevator."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3utKp5T8NE
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A6l47W31o
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI55j8oNs6X
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC2COSiypN
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGLW3hA4j0
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZp2PLwc7E
"You're right," I said 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cZl2Joq3Q
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1jFIN76a2
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSpBjfPSym
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoUzYZfFhj
We all walked out of the1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU8nTXvnd6
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jS8j1c0wO
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT09YYpXmCJ
While I was in the car 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZBwYGKyYk
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6qnY1gl8c
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTbU483n2L
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDinp8LxOvS
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Ucgj5SwT
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOp5lb6yAN
If it isn't him, then 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UZ76fVwMS
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOFs6eydaI
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnfshzDKX6
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonDAndjOAP
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM86UiywxBv
What if I had the wrong 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmaIWiiX7e
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2A1O9iAyV
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY03DCRc8V
place without any of us noticing in the first place?1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdN6HbqilC
I hope I could be able 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkASf26XDyR
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dxejyctzQ
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eLs8auPz3
happen.
