Zoey's P.O.V1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkTuNkAujj
Waking up this Monday 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNiPYNToay
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6hSOumYpa
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMDi95Wxpy
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaxWhOZEC0
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t9tsUkTNP
myself to be.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVomc9j406c
I couldn't stop 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJu9DXirtg
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlMyE08kzN
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbN89mnL5x
feel that something was wrong.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlRg4yuDrF
Could they have known 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIHyeJ4V4Q
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE99EENysN
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr7bwgoph1
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtVo0F0bSd
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJgMMtzeln
just had our usual conversation.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXbwQTypK7
I brushed off all those 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7krsQOFqx
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEPylOFqiQ
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDYLLV83Gg
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCvO9ewV6X
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhwyyNoTvG
But now that she wasn't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEB8s8IY1z
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OPlUBTOCG
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDGRa8afVi
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqbqMGt0eh
woken up early before the alarm rang.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeqVHIzMCJ
I sat up on my bed and 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj879u1qXu
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe0f5oCfJu
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpXWJapIWh
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm12O58dlo
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs9ySVQ0s4
After seeing her with 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjZiFhSWNv
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKNABuvQX3
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8hmguU0j9
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPe1gPWfdV
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAeOqJE31c
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EIYOjU7XC
day. That left me devastated.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgN8AkqjZ0
I couldn't stop looking 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1oVuz0LfJ
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIakKju95t0
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwdHCyFmbF
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEXJUQ6PML
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQIHb9G2jz
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n6IYbtzzU
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojHnxieIE6
That sent me boiling to a1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXN6KSYQbA
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynLyZSKLxM
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS9Xehn3Ps
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGSU1AYvlm
Christine had told me to1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiCjsZzk3A
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO63tOfCNGC
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBu7pac5pJ
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1po4juYAGT
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWEtrZZJQl
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdgWNJ3lLa
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLukpTa6ZZJ
And now, I had to face 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBqa95uoKR
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP18Ux4bLmF
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjl1XbAqXS
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVKAI6ALx0
was still so upset.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmtT56GpAS
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsp8IU6SNF
After I was done, I 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32gihs2lo6
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiCz7lxsQu
others at the dining table for breakfast.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVCTSkZZiE
I found them already 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeTy30YFW6
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dr7yDae7S
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U4pFJSww4
I felt a little awkward 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7HeIumTKY
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7M3pXYwcC
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1uDM2iQSN
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjprZGq4Dq
that also felt weird.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZydSrXzOn
I know that she and I 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOQadjytVt
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz4FNKmXFT
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7joYtYRJKa
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PnaqUKows
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBxKLjgZ9G
like something was wrong.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPbKzUx4Jh
I poured myself a cup of1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEH29B4ue2
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsybr1xCss
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqte5OpbxO
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHZaCPqp2u
My heart almost skipped a1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1QXtvSEmZ
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2xWRXcp3P
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LohingBaO
too far. I was over here! Hello!1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gmDmqBS78
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rJBPipCwu
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBFGbzLaYy
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnofl2sKrRn
"I have no doubt about it."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Oo9PldV4
"But I don't see why you1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUiCMnKyUI
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfRPDgOd26
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWUT5MFlVr
"One thing about fans is1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mmvQ0HH52
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4qJG6cbWM
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXXHaVpQLK
"I know," said Lee. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ5VuMYKNy
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQOc6zi1mk
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGT49cBaW0
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFLrYb6YwW
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTQ3JBxrTj
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm5O6HPqFC
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nhveqYCWI
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxRysXwP6i
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS507GyO1Pe
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6Pf6ABLkq
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhal7TxcvtE
"You're just too quiet, that's all."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpz3KXjNEL
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOZGcxDpnR
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp45CRKJiwk
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUr1rS0Rrs
I stuck my tongue out at1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjhJJqzBbv
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bU1Q0z2Bg
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tptlH1BFW
still wasn't looking in my direction.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv1HNj5GPN
Soon after breakfast, we1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NhaVhRwlV
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbQbRVEVnb
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsLuIHasHW
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkUJ7MXRZy
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ZtljGMd2
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECSmYvwZTi
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpGBaeY3hm
she would.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJBNvnmLKD
We arrived at YG and we 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LRtUUTO8c
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMWk0SHI5h
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAalNQVkn4
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMC3Gk7qiJ
When everyone was 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEP4A9VWJm
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8BewpTmY1
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC359nR3Be
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fLNdBi6ci
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZFLjZUuml
He not responding to me 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZMnJ0duX6
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0NTh00KYg
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBOfxAuJG5
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uD1i2Q1ol
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSNzGHfb09
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRtNWWtBy4
looked away instead.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TtO7NWloX
We went straight to 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs81L471hP
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0VgyR8J4F
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5K0voG3ER
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ClAC8dbmd
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuumX17Wff
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYTlBLd94X
During pratice, I 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvb6XY2Utu
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X95VmQa71
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxqnbThTum
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f2H2JqA9p
G-Dragon wasn't the only1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoV4wAinwI
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9YA1D1mbO
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsG4tv8MAT
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Iy67QR1VU
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IlSfApYVc
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtaKzTbzr7
As her best friend, I 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeimEM48d7F
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q7LckTg4Z
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybFEa1e0Iu
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W4CCSFM12
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMXEeSNkzx
She is also smart, 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg2vqgdavJ
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM2UhacASh
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3SKcSe8Mj
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBh2WnGRM7
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I7MmRrmwU
Sam has a lot of good 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8ZOKqLsDL
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD5Uwn6OtD
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeH9Z7pKLL
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXAzkR9T5O
want to hurt anyone around her.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfixaWI6Eh
Realising this made me 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U5ykNkX3c
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj46JZSqP4n
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCe7puDgyX
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdxsRpsrXC
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O8bZIi3HN
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6FITeZuGG
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6JD6bKutl
realise it till now.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVa5cQ7a9q
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHkymEXtDq
"Zoey, you aren't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA9sFTMrBF
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9C9ULdo76
second time you have made the same mistake."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifOoL2RP0J
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOs3bCOVsG
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tZPPxvj27
It was lunch the time we1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ2JlztxcD
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuiVLdQ2xN
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycvo9fztOm
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1YYhPW8Dk
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxvtn0feyD
they were all laughing.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GAHA7brUV
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkokq2vgP1S
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6pbUkiJM7
"Still not talking to Sam?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIitXbTaPc
"Nope."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC3QyJcLD1
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQNs3fNtxh
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zB6XOzVHL
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDi69PN1zH
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m6iDbc7U7
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw0kJOxh1s
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKK9mgtuhs
"I know. But you aren't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ892ofONVRF
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRn0Hl2cA0
You would be chit chatting like you always do."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTc3EJk4eg
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrJoo0uwVs
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK4n3vzQ3h
I frowned. "Why?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8lYNq0Xmp
"Because you look miserable."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEppI2PyKR
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsnwkbExbi
"Miserable!"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1FbYdOD3z
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuWkg0xaib
I thought for a moment 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWw84Ib3Mk
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF86sGqTTa1
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOBBQa7bV9
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhXufQOQ8r
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63o0CFYbzS
Seeing all this in front1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq41o0Ex5g1
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKrtNfuX5z
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTLKSdZga5
Until TOP came to talk to me.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR9apEDzHi
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDPiJ68gbZ
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXkaEo4Y14
"I don't know," I said 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTZtOT1Gd3
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V9R6HzDHM
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hLjmEZOEO
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.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP4KqBu49W
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQuqpcs8OT
"Then why don't you talk to her?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiHIX1E7Qm
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPNU6nRv7r
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoIUJgSHBF
"I know."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusJRZFc2pd
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJmRSWhHvz
"I'll think about it."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk0fHjAenv
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLanQosUEw
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAY7sBssZV
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZBrA4vGRN
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNbKhXsWKE
The three of us went out1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK3Azn7yLX
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjDJayTlTW
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwrgum4hok
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66IFCJkYm7
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWshpq9Ovy
"Chill, you just ordered1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzMMUl9rDP
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYEb9urmZH
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq8TADeUom
"But I'm so hungry."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCsg5nBHqM
"Trust me, you aren't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiBVD3sieS
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eih8HTwYg
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41dUig1Kwh
have."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesQ95ESdSy
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ2ICKQhQo
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigEIVaRP3J
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtgdmJT6mU
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUJndX9aSy
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRQVT0L9jy
I didn't say anything as1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxLJ0rEKc2
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QfWtdTM3B
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwGytwzUbY
calling.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPIc7ehkJv
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXb8Akxv8f
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRXCaUmZ13
"Okay, well you better answer that call."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IbrmKKFiT
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXYPaKegI9
"Hello," I answered.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrSK4sZn3Y
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyNsQ5CPnK
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzjkdAFFWF
"We have to meet today, ASAP."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgoiFQmzu7
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDFD6Puggm
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfegw8JJEn1
I knew Jehan was going 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwdsaw7ibj
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVdVafu1pz
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasZ03EpndD
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm5Jq4TzIe
was upstairs in the dance studio.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGD8x5aPfb
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKs1iQB8qP
"I'm coming to YG to get it."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNhqeU91vx
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4boOuvJ5m1
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7WLxFWWfE
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwkHWvxRZA
He cut the call and I 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GJKxiLZQU
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmkncajDVI
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlEDe8R5BJ
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81hDqhAtuT
him they would start to ask questions.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk77C1SYpkn
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2ShTZWWAD
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuXopEWxIX
"What?" I asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl07RBRC0ZE
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q8afHE2mk
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZMSKXaNyD
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1yq326w48
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjHQP14nQW
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU5drHwZy8
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpbFKfO0ci
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVprvjMIP0
Dang it! I was cornered 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMkJ6vhz55
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOgYm5z4b4
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo0UXTvpN6
light no matter how much you try to hide it.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboQsEjArCM
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrn8qclZPh
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOiX8enLnL
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhmZCoPtt7
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuKOYTk14W
I told them everything 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNjO54vMJd
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6i0PM22jk
said a word until I finished the whole story.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgQR88XiAz
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcx51owTgw
"Just you two," I answered.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3Yl8RFMaq
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGbw9LQUXS
"Surprising, right?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJbCmvhGVJ
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4oie7DXtj
"We should involve the police," said TOP.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJfCf056iK
"No! We can't!"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7KMLhGMRK
"Why?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjyFCNqy78
"You know word goes out 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhyNTs6Jc6
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZangTSVag
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI3atRy2Ni
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUsnf1jROK
"He assured me that this1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZakc1AqkP
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr09usEiKj5
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADyYQqxPYe
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRGfQpgsyf
The three of us turned 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SgVT4mk9a
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRG1OH96Vr
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWujLzywYub
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERZ7OClAXw
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlz7Tm16l5
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOvcsLovB6
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq8s3U7jdk
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiAA3iEhLY
"Random stuff involving a1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFvUKZXmuq
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy1B5zN5Eo
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInNIjK7HfS
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu4LnVG9rQ
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQfhDWwT50
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKYBVRzSK1
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wGcDXppUI
"Okay, I won't."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv1hAmmlgn
"Sit down."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIBvRAhoul
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07FXvS9J8p
"I got myself into trouble," I started.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hqOkI38lg
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv1drJTW9I
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vWYw5CRXx
Christine's face soon 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafNpnkB1sb
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWLI4w6UhP
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3q2vErIFT
"What!"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEUJFvgK67
TOP quickly covered up 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLyk2zLQN1
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFMwG4L6Co
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK21A3kHyQ6
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PceK4nvZg
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwscMY1xm1n
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjnzWoLfc0
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd31JsocQ6L
"Of course I'm mad!" 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2oKtMEPOP
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJKqqlXo7E
but this by far is the worst one of them all."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DV7lDDBlI
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wD4ul2pA8
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExkIGl9x8C
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkltvBDF8W
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIRAwyFvlP
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDM6MCEJ8Z
"WHAT!"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgnbhqfUbr
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mm1GSbTj8
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5T4LQCNF0
"And the one I met at the café," I said.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYIr7rLoIT
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGukqxPdWH1
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxoDuFDaLD
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWE4n8Ogor
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5fjqZTvxg
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV71LtBELF7
"Ya," I said. "I planned1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMzxGhs6Tg
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3YcGHcULm
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bnPaf1DX7
"So you're the one who 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1ZzZwTQtV
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrwTmGeHBS
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCP4aefz59
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEVDkRKOZR
out with Seungri."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE151De86wT
"I lied."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hTPd4hjf3
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPobmnCySV6
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTx4VXWEH2
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYZaSKTCbk
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT9sFSLUSH
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKCoBjUPtq
"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."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55e32QJ7MO
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOpfEbj7rN
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkChfA1QHBA
"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."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWZf9xvdLO
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnAtqQvROv
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbazQ76bii2
"But where?" I asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDKBW0idBB
"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.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA46WhEsJEM
"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.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYlPQSius3
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aFPRnzYD5
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi75i5Ztlh
I took my phone out and 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegRU1RT9P9
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxLp7ClyTY
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKMybEtr5x
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrBUKNk9z7
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq9XHmYcTR
Seungri had ordered ten 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejP8tGPYZN
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nj4PEs5Ir
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ0jYYD1c8
favourite.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPRfZPKhVy
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyp9etkIkp
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87kRgzxLQF
"I'll be ready for 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW9L9D37Bw
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbevnUIw2E6
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEF8IvaQY7
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvBc9LiM45
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KRMjdkQ56
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnUJ60OCoz
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bXJ6WNiH0
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zV0ShYQzd
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOu2QndMH2
We found ourselves back 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCI4zL56IT
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVJDO7g1Yd
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaPQRi2dzQ
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwDeqOYnUX
paranoid?1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6d3AU7GAR
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKZ7o6YAII
"What?" I asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrms5lU8x3c
"You were frowning," Christine answered.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWcM35hdXS
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtIdzN0Tca
"Says the person who 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9Xfs5YXFU
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI3lm4sPEe
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4wycOqEtz
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9b6K865Zx
Soon after lunch, we 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrBSjztscL
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXb7GFFo6s
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe8x5xlhqB
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL0JNGXik5
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYSisAu9M7
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgLwfpyhX9
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wwHJ586gC
At some point in the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSiEMC5b4v
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6dpuxYG5P
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3CSUmGA1S
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gggy4jyy9
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmMam8nVBH
back to practising until we could pratice no more.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekh1X1WbD8
It was five and the sun 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I73Js9BB1
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbtzZAAKnb
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCFBYW8xyv
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dV9Go2rCN
side of me. We were all pretty tired.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ2RW2s4oC
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppCryOTfcL
While I was resting and 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7C5m6CyW6
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvz6HAxq9q
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRiubKFseR
look on my face.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzwUmmCmjr
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VyloSEqmy
"Go? Go where?" I asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSlz0xwlaU
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWoTLnjoB4
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGkLTa6Q4C
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmqxWqHhVe
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMiuLHxolg
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM0lFEzw91
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp65Vgpyoq
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uSRFwxzo3
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5aADvgelj
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTIC9WnhfE
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNUmjFACML
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuzF1UYPeS
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkYHfMdee3
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAt4LKNUdy
"Why don't you want 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ9gksEFaE
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzDgvkuL3o
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0oIO0sBJ4
not to follow."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECxUznpj1Z
I wanted to protest and 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZD2xTSwJa
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYEPiGNmWk
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KGFV4k8qf
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExXDt9UiSe
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJfVTBLmRS
Dang it!1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJD2388n1D
"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.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc9IPKNOLz
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszdvijnxvt
"Thanks, that's nice of 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV0l39GxeX
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gcyjL2uIO
the others. "Have fun you, guys."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAniIv19lSR
Sam and Daesung left the1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6b6aYXQuv
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g8mxCPJSe
myself that the two also made a nice pair.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpOpuTCei0
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcF7nSBBe3
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7WMXf7eaH
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotwIwvW6dz
Christine stood up from 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPT9KGm1BY
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F0fPCpggd
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrKLwgk5vP
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyb6CEKE8k
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtIyfDW8wI
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDHY1FRv13
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUbBQb5bb2
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYAw8gvlUx
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZulp0kH7vx
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh06mnFlsGW
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaozWyZ2mv1
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRS17F7KWc
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9d1bucoJq
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4qnLYkZMn
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wEvwAJw0f
"I know," said Christine.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TndRFx7GX
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYDoWBk6BP
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c89mgfyzv
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMmHPMQ3Zi
"So that she can judge me? No way."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvDkoHeeel
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOxjCkLByn
"Don't try to convince 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiztHu749xq
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLSVcpc9l8
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMB02zZM5X
like she could hit me with a hammer.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTJPanRu5F
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlbSMf7YPn
I got up from the floor 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1Obu8duFi
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv1HwW0FwF
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmeV3dxGZX
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnSHVo2X8p
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUIaxhoVR2
The cars soon left the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCYPAOGDx5
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpraPqqsHG
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN0ZpbAhpJ
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e438tMElX
"Can you you please stop1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkgo1XruHu
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOnD2ejp3X
the teddy and lose it in the car."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNYfgMyicj
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYlSg3fPD5
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtChpgyAn5
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE4cIqvUU1
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8haOGEo2Z
"I just want to get this over with."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IJsSl1A8Y
We were soon packed 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrev49hsRA
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17qbAuaZs5
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxE7qLfcsu
turned to look at her.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk9tUqtdeQ
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyYTt9rRUu
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZBh1wt8Oh
Seungri also turned to 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA9sCN8TR8
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT6l7YB8cx
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8pQPydsNO
chest and I wished Sam was here too.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD9cPHIeps
I soon got out of the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeac1bgPPal
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfG1Tgvvrn
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqM6DWACxb
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjsTPK8RmR
Before I could find my 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKd6dGDGkY
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQKCPQ0kqK
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvLvFa2ftK
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoOSzpUy3k
I quickly went in the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKcG2fS0ko
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqF0USmf06
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr0mHvIO1o
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkVdx4UgqO
I slowly approached the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6hyStThGQ
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzFKgfv22v
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN8J9nJPHA
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP58ouOAxtA
hesitate to end my life right here.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzijlMzRLyU
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyT0XU2ESK
"I was practising today," I answered.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlraQ7HUSVJ
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvuWLG1v9i
"Thanks," I frowned at 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrz75GFIEQ
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcRvvnvPvo
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTKTuiQwRA
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTfZfCLKMx
I quickly reached out 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5SiYY58pC
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qDa0g0XPC
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3mxKt5WlI
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYD56bqks1
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarQhcnEwPg
"What now?" I complained.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ6xkAKMEo
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTacb4IbV8
"What do you think? That1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0w5y1MNRF
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgufXnBZjwN
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm3F6ZV5qH
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv74oNPXuI
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIm5tVmRXg
Jehan raised an eyebrow 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyatVtUMFq
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEWLTBx9vK
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtaVHUMu12
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXAX525AWH
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi13HQ9XEQw
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZoWgCbhMf
I went back to looking 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs60IRnim3T
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VSBfzBKub
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5xTwdc4fm
surprise me that he carried that thing around.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce0ipXjGEy
Jehan slowly laid the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkdPP1OehJ
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzNniqFThF
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZUfADMvxu
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX976m5cn94
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Tj3DoUPf
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ASMvF9B0g
the teddy bear.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01RDqOiDxa
Wait. I frowned. This 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkznjzJhOj
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCJG20mmGY
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4cexsj2HH
diamonds!1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mc5JzQwtr
I stared horrified at 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdiXz9hqUY
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5WIu0ASeF
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4hXkHbn2Z
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZFNOmikPx
I looked up at Jehan and1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMjIM7TeIt
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR93JGPyOGB
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbwbXwVucD
that, he was going to end up traumatised.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qBSYMZmEE
"Je-Jehan," I said 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fGZStlTer
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak2XcxYu1e
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3msibNoSU
there."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7ONrmKZdR
Jean neither moved nor 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunPwtcnC9c
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvpTbbCp1Z
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagRxt9jCS0
But how could this be? 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkGBLxiZgl
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhL20hQG5i
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuUSa2ZPyQ
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDIRAy5iAL
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxLZnclTNw
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0kG9URk02
He banged his fists on 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKgTiIAvdu
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOGI5bC4jW
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg945n6pvHE
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmWyvZbdYf
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqp7pv7XV0
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASu7sjCOgr
"I don't know. I don't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s6uhDlJDW
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT6OQj4E3o
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBudZzHtxWs
"How did the diamonds go missing?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jDcvBOG6p
"How am I supposed to 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZSyd5gtqn
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoglgPWsHqG
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPdvoUXgF4
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYSiqmBRZj
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZwBbOHPUz
Jehan rubbed his 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebXmgoL3h6
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBKFqdrnJ2
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBFOQizSdV
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4TOM5PIKD
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa4SXqoPDx
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpGd4JOuHO
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3qnZHVgsN
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJC96Rn1M2
"I don't know."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1pVFajp3B
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknUqGyFifZ
"Ummm," I looked down 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGWDJdYXwT
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMUbDsXAZ0
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT1hN3ZVrB
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsvUwRVRiR
"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.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgzbvbcUc1
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMTVj5oBkD
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSD3Xdpl3z
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLoefO0LI2
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzveylXVd56
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwibINvBnhC
"I don't think so. Lee 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdnvSo9i77
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl3gpefMj1
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKgQkwoFwR
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08KQSyPC4q
"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."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W4Wro12aR
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6FoLpt3QM
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShRZkFY8pa
After I said that, Jehan1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjAhAFxrZS
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JXUAtdwPQ
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtABJTM02a
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg2B18WxUP
look on his face.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftsMsgkKmB
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPxeARTb6I
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJmOgfjqUl
"I remember one of my 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1avv1uIHA
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmLtaCJrrt
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbObsHvQTz
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmB5OOvdpA
"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!"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYy4YCnNG9
"Huh? I can't start 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYzctC3woi
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcDlYhtua9
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zuURa6uPJ
that the bear is missing."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfboXfnp8K
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2TnCTJg4A
"What do you mean?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29APGzME07
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSKBFiya3P
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudmM1gTdXF
"Now that, makes no 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnEQXrhOdi
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeXoYPsfUO
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DQaugnDAO
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKnYVaLxvc
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqII4Td3Mqe
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbX2iaKpnZ
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdzksnMxD5
I completely forgot that1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYuWTJnXkj
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmqEDAnSrA
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NguKLSoSr
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VkuwZ7YFr
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHSlViSBoe
Jehan gave me a smile. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ogix9Y7dG
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw8SKTPS2a
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd87vxqCsI
I nodded my head and 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40oj3ddEN6
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwBDJK6Xry
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNilAqJZvK
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZo8CXtTqY
I sat there as I buried 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sJa6bKeUj
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMzzmL1Esa
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgOObRczYJ
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP79CEdqGo
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6duJcfPCdV
drama that might just ruin my life?1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK0oID3P35
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.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfh10aNSJd
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHieyYlKKNU
I could hear footsteps 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMew5GEPdIo
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrLZLVdDVC
when they saw the look on my face.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE3OjRpq5x
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4bJXUakQ4
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiqnT7lQR4
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeHvZQ43Ig
"No," I answered. "He didn't."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3CmXTPoAz
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfguedWuOzc
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG3MrgjfJG
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."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4TR0wTd7H
"And what about Lee?" 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aQZxPyDmq
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0CuRvSOcN
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmSmqeGol8
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCD08LolnE
to."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQUplEgNh6
"This is bad," I said, 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTl0HnpOyL
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIejlLmhxAA
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv0jIdbMiD
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4LLrLdpQ2
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01YHyXoN5r
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbaOBUfrmK
"Sam?" I wondered for a 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdaiis2Y2K
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVttRtYNbYL
she have swapped it with the other one?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwySCledSO
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxDPn7KkrQ
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkuZ5k5WUJ
what's really going on in the first place?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvacV1OFAO
"I doubt it," I said 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ujBOxogM4
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2F3DMzj4L
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL20UOZrM9
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZRe1RvUeL
TOP and Seungri looked 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQWivz7KYX
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qlfcsNeKw
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfre3DxcVwZ
it away.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclTmuijkv9
"I highly doubt it too,"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9WgAs3pxi
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhlmCtmDoD
she would have asked us about it."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEtByJxlFk
"That's true," said 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKONY4NGRs
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjk73KB8CM
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3XHm7zrU1
"And I checked out the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu1BXhD5wn
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm2XubRxc9
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA20Hi3f6ef
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0viVGB0HE
"No, I highly doubt it,"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dh9QrBdgr
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI7NG6g97a
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvHDAh2UR0
said nothing about them entering a toy store."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdMdIYHueo
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5RGWZPWsG
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8SnpC3PNQ
"Collins?" Mike asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFpy9qSPup
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2VqaCed07
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEEZDXZlvP
"But who knows? Maybe he1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHRmoesa6s
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFHIRW2wJ3
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYz4FhVW6T
times."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroSpTc0Xs5
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhfrKyDSbE
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ93Z5N5B3j
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6x2yMH4i5
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvG06AJ7WU
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMbb7o2rIi
"He was the one who went1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVLOszskeo
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXtlLRmPT7
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmcVLenPhf
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6qvmGn1qj
elevator."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bWkVMYSMH
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFZVMD3syb
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2ntK3AR3B
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvWOX9FwsN
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNjH8iOOO3
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchjsluljGS
"You're right," I said 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaxlQ5vuFZ
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXze6bllSO
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn2ctxaHLQ
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKG3bEpK3L
We all walked out of the1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfUv0mGtCa
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcgH98iMMc
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQAQVBnH0M
While I was in the car 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljVPqkYcDi
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Xy4ljG8Y
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlskcJGm9E7
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf4PxNrxHg
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqnP9MMOKg
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEzMF5WJpf
If it isn't him, then 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxHweJvXZD
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyR2kLAljz
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyuioLGopl
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIAfCz198i
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KfmeebqpX
What if I had the wrong 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzruDNMMPI
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmhEPmMqvj
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPK7q5mrFu
place without any of us noticing in the first place?1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyrPL0s5JW
I hope I could be able 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg93sYZiZMd
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoersculW1J
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that1070Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqYsJ0GeH5
happen.
