Waking up this Monday 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nxiwHkTK7
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BQErXJYgQ
another, I would have to. I lay in my bed awake, thinking. I didn't want45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4iO3Uah3T
to face off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7hkqN1KGM
dealing with Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHnImPF5NW
as I expected myself to be.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Gyacn1zk45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn0eb39mlc

I couldn't stop 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8jxsKktu1
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmID44tK9g
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5EHjQLsc7
feel that something didn't feel right.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zofNVBbk845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsfY0IIkbd

Could they have known 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrz35D7yoh
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4mtMGjy8w
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNZVLZDukO
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFggJmURUi
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KnveacxIl
just had our normal usual conversation.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70mMFyUT9z45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n84iU3Wpo

I brushed off all those 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK641nNoiFi
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO2Ykh8wPR
last time I had ever put up an alarm, was the morning of my last day of45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTe0XxV1tk
high school. Eversince I became an artist, I had never put up an alarm 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqerugOiE7X
when I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam. She would 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHM0G6hPD6
always wake me up.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuB03McqNM45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwZUwXssZW

But now that she wasn't 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpbeUr3c5a
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so on my 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3SW3y3knH
own without her help. But when I over slept, she was always there to 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3dqYKorco
wake me. Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZOyeI0hU6
must have woken up early before the alarm rang.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOl9494Fko45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr59k1dS5xg

I sat up on my bed and 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYk0pjLNKX
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8X0HbIItD
couldn't help but realise how much I had missed Sam. I don't know why I 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUJYfKb7QI
was feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDHIE62pUN
bad. Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Vk7DwPlZ
media.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡOspaf4IaYS45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaUc89XjhO

After seeing her with 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GrJo6QrvL
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSRadYNKO9
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKijEvrOtL6
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOMJybPoCk
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qd10r0ObP
pictures of the two of them everywhere. They were a trending topic for 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW8gBDIp6u
the whole day. That left me devastated.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhmkhp6uPT45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnii6QtWf5

I couldn't stop looking 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpWuqXVrL7
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ3oZE2I48
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAwuSDllzA
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQZokqlgR7
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8QrxQ5zy9
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILKfgCSBYs
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAIDJMMOs745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqibODBaTt

That sent me boiling at a45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigB8I9YNJx
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXriHHykz9i
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lJkwyX8JQ
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgzCqOH9YF45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB17d9Qm8D5

Christine had told me to45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBxXiewDNF
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP1Faxe7GX
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhY6u8WQgA
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWbtUuHq8v
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64l7KwFYEl
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDCUJ73GYj
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IXo2fN9KD45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUgtoaY6A6

And now, I had to face 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGaXNVttT8
another challenge of seeing everyone today, especially Sam, since we 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPLrKvzNbx
have to finish up on the choreography and start working on the music 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7trnWPxUV8
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xOcvC7Z60
was still so upset.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32eLFYxsMZ45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VQSnAnWnz

I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0g9DGXlQW45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv2VSZLqUG

After I was done, I 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVen7K0eJ7
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR26KpG8l4
others at the dining table for breakfast.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1REZfHe3QZ45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPzKKsKvSE

I found the others 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrzqPHaQWU
already settled down for breakfast. When I came to settle down on the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcMZiwoYEK
table, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to me, except Sam. And I 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mzC6j4QPX
replied back with a smile on my face.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT1VEHTc9G45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1p5seMC4J

I felt a little awkward 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Vj1dQqcu
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafQKSX3XOS
said a word to me when I came to the table. She was busy with her 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjUjomyaZD
breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and toast with juice. I realised she 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwEPQG3H6g
hadn't even looked up at me once and that also felt weird.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJHsSk9QFZ45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchv21o04lO

I know that she and I 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg8Rzwe8Hd
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBKqrB6uid
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuugxvExAZ
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyfuqP1EYI
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJjB9Lcgfv
like something was wrong.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGRsG79UaZ45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0ZXgwtV43

I poured myself a cup of45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqCbV21WHZ
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyIYaRJn7Z
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡURTWNxDGKN45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBZSygo1ct

"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXw4pppzf445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57THiPKjLr

My heart almost skipped a45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq00paS8y0
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rB8japIcB
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he has gone 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhI5Z1UKkG
way too far. I was over here! Hello!copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3LrvryEmJ45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD6bEvmwEV

"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've even decided not to go online today."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhAxdn5R4P45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNm8VGikov

"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrMcwcBVMR45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAMEFMFAw0

"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mULNpdm4A45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIDmThSgOw

"I have no doubt about that."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JSGg54lX845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblkyufeNAD

"But I don't see why you45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwd5bTRQto
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK6u60MZhA
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCAYO6bq1X45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtWQ1q5geG

"One thing about fans is45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwc8Co1tfv
that they can make a story so believable," said Christine. "Even those 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6fZBmZnlh
who don't know what's going on, might end up believing it."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1kcN7C1tG45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSKVIMmO2A

"I know," said Lee. 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW7H4J56ck
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5rR42d4qz
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlor6kaSGYV
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡCypufGAj2x45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtSnbX6g3j

"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡsea3cZ9opb45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFo2xt5Lxv

"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHdGT1Nv2h45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTUMZeWSUV

"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEQC95iJpl45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaoFyzDEQG

"Alright, guys, finish up your breakfast. You know the drill."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRzrVMq5aQ45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsmmuTQAFn

"Aye, aye," said Daniel, finishing up his breakfast.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwxucrv0Xx45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZhZMheJ98

"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across me on the table.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡiac8Mle55D45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXj3DRDgwu

"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmvZNqLevW45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvWkRreI1T

"You're just too quiet, that's all."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MsCgF4LG145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Sn6FEkoN

"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYbw6YSl3X45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3KM7oEKEb

I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I want to."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡYujuu7Vglr45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBGbVyC9gE

"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqdF3uk7g045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mLVJRBncZ

I stuck my tongue out at45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF2Wsak6UY
Mike but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9AYlvxYFN
the others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI9nETffgr
still wasn't looking in my direction.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zZk55iXqm45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes6hozrIGm

Soon after breakfast, we45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYwhXRNuPt
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisbsPPl44C
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj5DAtc2cS
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTRUbOMYjB
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB3D4TspYw
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vP78qBltN
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wants to share with you, 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRH4MSTzRc
she would.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpQeUlmPBI45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjOfWS8pi7

We arrived at YG and we 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkCMsLc36G
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjxyokriTj
Saturday. We found our dance choreographer and all the Big Bang members 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4DjkAcs0u
with the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN9uscYMjf45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWPcIhXVl3

When everyone were 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdn9LMud5o
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAtbUNL6gL
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQIp3qH0m2
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yfs81fCfk
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsOMMUS5Sj45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NUuYOhJVx

Him not responding to me45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvodUrECr0
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwZUY7WdJb
He didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKZteXhwHd
greeted him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cIrqDS4fk
weren't talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UR4OPbL3U
even when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBFV4TTmpA
just looked away instead.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOJj3DEpsf45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztNhVdVOha

We went straight to 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m40qTPBET
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBubxz4qVu
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vYONT1IHi
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close to me. I realised45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQFYR5RGHw
that I still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd84oFDt6z
almost hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY84WWRPXAx
worst part.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I2hdvtbiM45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtoVrf1jWJ

During pratice, I 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwWYBlEePL
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONTSKQKzNk
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Ow0gL2zI
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5ffS2aL8345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqeHoP334T

G-Dragon wasn't the only45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSGILqyv0m
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, G-Dragon and Daesung liked Sam.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8rEErUpuu
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fUmXjc0mg
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc8AUT1tp2
to. Taeyang already had Hyorin and always took Sam like a sister. What 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfbiTPJOfd
did Sam have that even most of the Big Bang members like her so much?copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ARNTUqykT45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡintdJqwWrS

As her best friend, I 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl4lWZeYtD
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kTcCN1mBg
approached her. She was very pretty and had a great body, though she was45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUE37otDkV
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty herself. She always 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwgBRdB6b5
thought she was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsCQJPlc1D45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcpDp2qqo2

She was also smart, 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZWm24KwH4
caring and always understanding. She was a great leader and one who 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreBIQsWrz7
always had our backs whenever we were in trouble. I don't know how many 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjkWXJYoan
times she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRmodpsYVa
that even if we look like we don't appreciate what she does, we really 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2noE6f72GG
do.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrJeHCgSnp45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad0u9Xe8mo

Sam really had a lot of 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNgSbuhEsd
good qualities. Maybe that's why she was liked and loved by everyone. 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvBd9IsgK9
Even her fans. She was honest, when she wanted to. She was also a pretty45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVmXqwVEFi
good liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she was one who 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b5k4hOmVh
wouldn't want to hurt anyone around her.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrZMfTHGr145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKNbYXTqeE

Realising this made me 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzczW9Zt5E8
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHkt1oLQKH
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8krVvpTpQ7
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qjDntCQzh
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She was 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXYir0HdQr
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYMmUiMNHC
looking out for me like she always does but, I was just too ignorant to 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL3foqJ1gi

"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4otNCbpT3N45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP6tb0MYNt

"Zoey, you aren't 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJfDYE4HFl

second time you have made the same mistake."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYfiLucsbD45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7JKBVLnTy

It was lunch the time we45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RORCpNnNH
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEbdKjuvws
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3qmcG2uUe
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb250UHpH5c
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation, because 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0RzeCTJ8p
they were all laughing.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMHJ5sehVp45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4tCrGitac

calling.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGGkPyZKbn45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg0raeZvYB

"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD7BqsbjLE45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEkVZUE1EO

to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0vJPaOOsQ
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82rxbU97wY

"Tell him you will meet at the café. The one you had met him in last time. TOP and I will take you there," said Seungri.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyYoSR0GzW45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNjxlcECIc

"I'm also coming with you," said Christine. "And don't refuse." She pointed her finger at me when I opened my mouth to refuse.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCOQtjvjc545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m7mssFZko

"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyv2Vf3nBR45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWnB3yV3os

"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWqHkizkY845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQfNnA02cI

I took my phone out and 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh5mDxOjw8
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc55O9DJc2
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmK6ddpIxC45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHSqvg1wjd

"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSajV6yYu945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexvjU8RIsn

"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd6gVqyuLx45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaAWfo5T7i

Seungri had ordered ten 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj0PJw5K2o
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgWtAQCry4
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqfpmvOroV
favourite.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2Uo87CyQ945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKleKaYgfIi

We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE1lYWrxVV45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHzBa9rNB0

"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL9N14eAz045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqq7QMCEe1

"I'll be ready for 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZmPJwN0Mw
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirdR2o1tbC
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c33AbacK145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu33UaTHNyW

"No they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUGngEkHcf45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8VaYFHMFt

"And G-Dragon," TOP added.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT1MH3RVDq45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXUwPXVRr7

"Can we please not talk about it?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMCYPda0pV45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVaxQlry8Z

"Well, someone has to," said Christine.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LQH96ltNy45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW8q765OSL

"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrrKd9N45r45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbJcIy9DpA

"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0e7Z3ka3J45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTwVqmgRUp

We found ourselves back 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRplZPt6VhZ
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzbqLTYVxo
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwii2eJpuBj
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsIgsyJzu0
paranoid?copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65vWME288P45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybzKBlEAgb

Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRg8Buhpzm45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNuhPI0edC

"What?" I asked.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4n5bn9vyd45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy74hnxQ76k

"You were frowning," Christine answered.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEiLA4pCdx45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FwHp723Ij

"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUpJ20ekqN45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH6KZWsZbG

"Says the person who 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJOG1beRik
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq0J7pQatz
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJgztfvWfH
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhR4n2rwy045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRrqysCNkV

Soon after lunch, we 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wm7ftx6D1
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7KWGeccbs
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOjkfSNSF7
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNEaVUEt0h
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfect and I don't know 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGpfD5uPiF
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcuBxJulBa
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNE2yf7YSk45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspX7zT1dm2

At some point in the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRJU6m0Bcj
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguwK64uBp5
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRvIY5BZjY
will be helpful and that they would release it after the release of the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PPLKV8Kwk
music video. The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NPAyWF2x4
still, we went back to practising until we could pratice no more.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkeV4hWiBm45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iVE1UJCU2

It was five and the sun 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWRqIBmQmT
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrG02fXHiu
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrMH5NCPqw
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1tJsblO2I
side of me. We were all pretty tired.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hEXm20Oyy45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd9oecEbTW

The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang also left together.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡOimtkUIrTA45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFnrmsfYhF

While I was resting and 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9HZT9aeYc
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGq64EjJPc
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvS2XevcdN
look on my face.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpV1lZihhT45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJXAIQKT5I

"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," said Seungri.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnbjlxlllT45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ow9tbsc1

"Go? Go where?" I asked.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡTacgDxalY445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSwxVtMqG0

Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLtRMPQ46845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezKb9s2Um7

"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLw94SHpd345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsa1ZjvaMI

"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7dvnR2yd145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsAIZvcMWS

It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9N60zVRE245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNasxmC0owm

"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CNxMRpthD45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8OGaN0GYM

"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡwALK68B9HO45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9eYReu41q

"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkXYrYynQc45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOApmX1mlx

"I want to follow too," said Daniel.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡpROdoA4O4m45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRGxyRlyxj

"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAXdl4mWe445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVtAUlPopQ

I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what was going on.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpoJoPIWcy45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmFpM2mNpI

"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CqYPPzUDD45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8A2G8T1Hr

"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6eejziGww45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2nODh9sFz

"Ya, me too," said Mike.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhW91kYJhb45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuWZTI1gvq

"Why don't you want 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRzyUfGNgn
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCqCq3TAwz
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP36PXOQdk

I wanted to protest and 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ZeLphF0O
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaDihtf5js
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBEBsnHyNC
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPhP4BpmhV45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBLUQxk8cl

"Okay, you'll find me back at the hotel. I'll tell Collins that you had to go out," said Sam to the others, giving them a smile.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQdYGhA5DR45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWU0QKxbSJ

"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wTfm4uwes45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOb3pVQsUJ

myself that the two also made a nice pair.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVdaUTruZ545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlutaYrqX1

"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1CggYkKuz45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHePVqEZm0f

"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtO2DIV5dV45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1HavS9Wj6

Christine stood up from 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0lNWLrV7r

"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiRrlvagAo45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh7itedydH

"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMvjICmAnQ45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLff0b7cRqi

Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡY19PtulELW45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbzNu31IBf

I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YH27gStzT45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOOhHqtLX9

"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9GisoVOYi45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIpcJAjVsK

"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWkOMNj7s445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8WNVqQX9s

"Don't try to convince 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg7odydMYa

I got up from the floor 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorbceNsY2r
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9CTnbb9Yh
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already gone. There was no sign of 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXxP97WOLN

things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE2rxcpBxx
then, I would even open and check if the teddy bear was still in my 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9yEipOzcM

"Can you you please stop45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqoPRV1hxy

the teddy bear and lose it in the car."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VPei0XkMY45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbNBYsMksl

"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VaS9Nx67e45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eLs3Do5VV

"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCeUsgYiom45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ7m6XnTCY

We were soon packed 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI4uoJDwa6
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WEWuEPF2N
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmpCNozbKp
turned to look at her.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HZq5J0uqV45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc47gyw0b2a

Seungri also turned to 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFclNtTjt4m
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without these guys. 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnwLkCnVyF

my heart and I wished that Sam was here too.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYrTowDp0345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlAy84rsxw

I soon got out of the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObTlWdXj9v
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJMIkc7J9N
was setting that it started to become cold. I had my purse in my hand 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m8IUhMmJk
and I looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGabs7PvJO45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyvMTsZRL9

Before I could find my 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKSascnAWw
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4SwNNOz9y
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU27qO1SOSE
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ndRJjsb945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgoQrR2OrZ

I quickly went in the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP3dmQ0aqa
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkcQK1RCPJ
him right next to the windows where we had last sat down together. He 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN0FDrwGgY
was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡc68EZxbCWc45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAOIObzPlZ

I slowly approached the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05jcV4eMH4
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXSwDvYace
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SPXAD9atv
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tAtGvxUhe

I quickly reached out 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtlZpKaY1H
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sQGQNHyps
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJkeX05wEd45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGxkMniQ1M

"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1t8bcl09S45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFgwFFgPEh

"What do you think? That45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacKUAauNgE

me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8K2RmSffw

at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpnGsH0Ev7

"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6FHmi77nk45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQV8h3WXmG

I went back to looking 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey11KInO78
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uRBefFGEn
his pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDadzivCftZ
surprise me that he carried that thing around.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iOjMUQODQ45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIxXKiG76N

Jehan slowly laid the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7i6Jxmod1
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQbZpuv2JZ
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GHzErSkyY

disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi01u0rYwuI

he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk5qNWidPF

"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg6tnIHsHa45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39OT8o9jA7

"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuVnxJV45N45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETSDOPgSNe

"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaixLPWvRa45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwqbu8R3wB

"You're right," I said 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzLasTzCd9
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS3CwRsMJg
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdrTGPBohj45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02MrehA5k6

"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHOu4md0qj45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGGsR9mqMA

We all walked out of the45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvsD8YvBKe
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLgDcuVNAf
people in the café and I doubt if they really heard anything.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgt5OeULKM45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiWALOJ7fv

While I was in the car 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP19ta8YLS
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCDtgQYbDz
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxRo8CcSJr
was involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorhqBLAJJl
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXYfqe6pqK
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxZnqGc24u45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRiPgqrsjb

If it isn't him, then 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHDc7eXIXH
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AE2P5hWvI
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtAZjQpLjJ
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdqAqyOnhM
near that teddy since Jehan sent it to us that day.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDb98fvlfW45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lmJocPF8k

What if I had the wrong 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPOYO7OeT7
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQloqLXf9e
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eAoYYBODK
place without any of us noticing in the first place?copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3d891n3N745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81zW0o4OCX

I hope I could be able 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWANiZe4Wtd
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvsLUrJwfn
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others. And I couldn't allow that 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnpQkpeoeR
to happen.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJEQ64wj6B
