Zoey's P.O.V1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfklHgaTH7R
Waking up this Monday 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN33hwpnr0O
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOo60fp6ti
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFCUFwOHTa
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0AkMV6Mfz
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNVnqNoLQW
myself to be.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDG0QYVMcG
I couldn't stop 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdND3EudD4h
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbcWAk5VtI
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9YODX8Kz9
feel that something was wrong.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PQF9nDg87
Could they have known 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM8Ii1vaUk
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9KK5OUtS5
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXiu8xOoFx
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mEkx5sCf4
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu3ZVYwHXA
just had our usual conversation.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF1y2zMBX7
I brushed off all those 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KYUhUiqvL
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16QgPWbGbO
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93hRXyttbb
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgONjyOtXZX
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPvihgCF0o
But now that she wasn't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSqWkw7AZn
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPWxH5OdjK
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FvLkK6udJ
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0ZnIGfL5E
woken up early before the alarm rang.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqBp4Hjtz5
I sat up on my bed and 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd1J596jqd
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBSeWrZx4M
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ZUh8pznP
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK9QEXKWd4
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEESFB8Wr5
After seeing her with 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZpr630agr
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljJuNw6NFf
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xO1Ym3mUP
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRPFq5l3mO
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjfkc41nhH
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdvkg9V6lK
day. That left me devastated.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwY9ZOUNkv
I couldn't stop looking 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4a09j3TDG
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AxOFSQrMq
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd9h5jODFU
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVXxIjfVeE
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfabCReYwvS
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ifx75qs3i
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf5Rb0ZZIS
That sent me boiling to a1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pOg7be8pt
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O8hoqzazq
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ZyTFyMib
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyzQpyFVUQ
Christine had told me to1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHHGnOrwrV
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfNDDt6P6I
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOxknAoZx6
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G2ejFrdax
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuWViUW5iQ
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpZ2lOVOR9
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6QBp9H6Yd
And now, I had to face 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCfsAT2T4s
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiHmadlNfa
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPcBf2ILpu
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIVbxqb5Xn
was still so upset.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz33UDCVkJI
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmDmJVtTzp
After I was done, I 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2auBCTi9OB
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7TxoQ2nFo
others at the dining table for breakfast.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVrBWHgf8H
I found them already 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxEeflSkHx
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCfhsnNHbE
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMlV0v09Qx
I felt a little awkward 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNJuOWC0Wo
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOXxdZNFYX
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FWD2jM2Rr
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAijuZkfnx
that also felt weird.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkzA1Wvl31
I know that she and I 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdSDNuL6Qk
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB7c8tgcr3
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDkKP6yThZ
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLYgkXVk0E
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyyej27ZRp
like something was wrong.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIxw7k62hx
I poured myself a cup of1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7q7maXFQ6
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V8haLNOOm
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa9CP00DPw
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWqZTudEpJ
My heart almost skipped a1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI8MAG8I76
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKPXMNMjww
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YibcjVWCG
too far. I was over here! Hello!1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJxCT3K04s
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVhph0C5JR
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySA4x1MfWG
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qDYBF7LmO
"I have no doubt about it."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k50KIfWYh
"But I don't see why you1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHm5TStQEf
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUfAlYmDmu
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WtxyQiqhL
"One thing about fans is1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1vwL5bBzS
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd3fQMrvkj
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErWnHcjCnL
"I know," said Lee. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjfjAobAIQ
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ305LcfkonQ
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorp78yxCjX
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bSjoKKMxd
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OeCL4lVCW
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VyRXvn4KE
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQwYpwnGp5
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiFyxP7KUe
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwUH5F3O2h
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt4qkSaqbl
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RPCu1pBip
"You're just too quiet, that's all."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZqULztHl0
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xiIICdACK
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aSGS5uETP
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANMr03izKS
I stuck my tongue out at1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j53xG993j
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEudfC2JRI
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQP10n0qBL
still wasn't looking in my direction.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNDArVNhfe
Soon after breakfast, we1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL3N5XQ5XD
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocbzCQj2S2
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzsdzBJBM8
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjvbhg07DC
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c5z2LugVs
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Mfn5aKkD
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZme53Npca
she would.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk78bCZdyym
We arrived at YG and we 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rtYAUirAb
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDtkui3qo5
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEsZyZkXBH
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHTPHKfCA1
When everyone was 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKkkCXDHd9
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUYdf8P01E
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0cFLgzx69
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V80TNPkJC
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLQTbVTWIJ
He not responding to me 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQnkX5SCbH
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLCByK0hmD
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtuHBCMrPg
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsqBLCbPGr
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLiJDZH9QX
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSnEQCUw4p
looked away instead.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajFTV7PKTP
We went straight to 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO3AiHawEM
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydQ92qZQHj
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8B1ziHBHG
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqORRru3ymu
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwyMTBYV1X
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsBYgN3BXq
During pratice, I 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfzw16DvPE
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFEX93uL2I
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DywN7gHkG
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUBRdaQQYY
G-Dragon wasn't the only1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4461SvMpIK
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hPTcdtIVs
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXwcG54iyr
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrggPl11mz
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQSnWzPkO9
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZkGSlgbuv
As her best friend, I 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gR7THlufF
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOJMEpf572
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ4NMZej5y
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIVzNLkMzI
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWZKWfwxbD
She is also smart, 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptMe9VjBXR
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ723qxfGgGW
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabiyBUsYCk
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSSrtHn5fk
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPQRH0PzIY
Sam has a lot of good 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyyMtbLd6M
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDswdwD2Clw
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCl796A6AT
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPAZDGGgGT
want to hurt anyone around her.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRs1ChhsSx
Realising this made me 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NHKs0706E
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwrrxfk6vk
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnNjHQWuzG
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVmWXAmVAa
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dz51lKyr7
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jOUD7vDCT
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA3fEidLiP
realise it till now.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTYpoOANDJ
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEsoHdTH63
"Zoey, you aren't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeOTj0hOzu
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjYN2qEwD2
second time you have made the same mistake."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInJuaiI7oJ
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyQmg5cDUe
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjNdl5OXTB
It was lunch the time we1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3M1rcU2BA
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk8fJPLrbx
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9lzVMiNIC
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwrv53S5bw
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSJBdGZyiJ
they were all laughing.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnvrEuwMiK
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqXPEe1tDh
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5jWlLQpWc
"Still not talking to Sam?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21GMlMkABD
"Nope."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhFKS9Hfoe
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnel21BPSk
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jIeSHYR2p
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeatkJA0Kzf
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicGkDRTrUb
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP1Qejtzwv
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7WlZnvgO0
"I know. But you aren't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEazEtYyjRi
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAQoEz3nfW
You would be chit chatting like you always do."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zl18qJ8uJ
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemQajgddg9
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZsqZH5Oy6
I frowned. "Why?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3tQiQQX7w
"Because you look miserable."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnjvfrxvzp
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPZMydGrWL
"Miserable!"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImroF56fL2
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY11gNiYpOx
I thought for a moment 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxdeAYy9l0
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWscFk3vFr
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1tQ9dvWAX
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJS5YeIQh4
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe14Y8YH3rV
Seeing all this in front1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZhiaj3fwy
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBhPfeDtSY
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKOhDcBTKC
Until TOP came to talk to me.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFZUlg6huq
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGWfL0vevt
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tY8fS8DyO
"I don't know," I said 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhXhTuWKkr
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghaYz6NayN
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtjy8m9of3
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.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zHKaGTpK2
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAE4LXDI7Y
"Then why don't you talk to her?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SGNY0Vd7J
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFdekpMUmg
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQvDU7ERMV
"I know."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS5EdL1O2A
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStXietc3y3
"I'll think about it."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurroOYZsQf
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSuPLMxlyL
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8wjBpLzTH
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qrq2hvsIq
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47ieordkCJ
The three of us went out1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa4Ntx9JKt
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGUnrlt5jD
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasqC6gbkPw
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lX2I8y1uq
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm96qD8wvJW
"Chill, you just ordered1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yRIQQCrqZ
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xq3eMDPll
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTIcHGoy9V
"But I'm so hungry."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRYteG3u3t
"Trust me, you aren't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8hzbeW8q1
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4hNt4nYks
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpcdTqKWcP
have."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1taODghPC8
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtA6D3YMOR
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbavCIg8arV
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDMXjl3RXP
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uUWu5Q6RX
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsfEzIOuMK
I didn't say anything as1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLu6q5Y62D
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzYomPS3do
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XSYsipAOh
calling.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn2C6L1BY4
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jnaX5fG0m
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBV8gt7dGX
"Okay, well you better answer that call."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgyqGdTE3z
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPpfKwBGmN
"Hello," I answered.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ012ZC0Vep5
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjBAkOj8is
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPC5klgR60
"We have to meet today, ASAP."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Kj5ovh7o
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRanNPLhQl
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tPjbfzL4o
I knew Jehan was going 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRsvzs5AcG
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A26Mn8VUm
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJEXRB1wX1
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDapoWWjYgq
was upstairs in the dance studio.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNNRZt0QQY
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBeEBm7qqG
"I'm coming to YG to get it."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JmG41o4Kl
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Ri9JzUdG
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdde5NK3KGX
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz99H9RdgM
He cut the call and I 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HOacPB6wq
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3O6y7q0J5
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qmjb04ymI
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGshgRYMyKt
him they would start to ask questions.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1vjhvuPmd
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoDvwzloqV
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAUpLpE8mi
"What?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyay1yGu8QB
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9E8DyGdSX
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FUswWT57L
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemUrFJk2qT
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FqdquY1Uu
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTZG7mkXGx
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQcsqKOF5a
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8816WP116J
Dang it! I was cornered 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyoPuXN2wP
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDoy8Z6U5N
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU7nROQDKT
light no matter how much you try to hide it.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZWAjCioqp
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUdD6lgGv9
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPnXrQK4Nj
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVjTRrYO59
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPW5oD8Flm
I told them everything 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjN0xdXlqg
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjNy0WfZ4f
said a word until I finished the whole story.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dp9cDjSUm
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaOH4Kz6rY
"Just you two," I answered.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgWz9DdhS0
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBePeXfOuB
"Surprising, right?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpg2ZudlVu
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3mESbCaVT
"We should involve the police," said TOP.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcOC4BhJni
"No! We can't!"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEaFoXFoCz
"Why?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tZc1aBein
"You know word goes out 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa444KQ7OOz
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOynvuOiOv
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFAicSC2Xo
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9c6LEstPL
"He assured me that this1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEEBKtro2C
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeDKTzlSAN
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS5xG9Lnje
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5bNHRELL3
The three of us turned 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayHMZ94a6F
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckvIRKzSsR
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX27BiDlBm
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cbYzW1GLn
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkm7R7N4bp
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuIcbdxOWU
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQcm3Dc5Nz
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr1I2t7TrV
"Random stuff involving a1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG85KcFxeT
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lksr60KZl
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3vt6GfBtJ
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDP8l95T86
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKTbjTumHE
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99L9fQfZ80
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDx4xJSoA4
"Okay, I won't."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy7OXoH5ZZ
"Sit down."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZXPveJP5V
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwTKqfXzG3
"I got myself into trouble," I started.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY63OcEv4l
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGS2CTGuDK
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP5aNLTkVU
Christine's face soon 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcet9tZyzW
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnYZ7x5LhR
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzfqMdxT9V
"What!"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa3kAXtl4N
TOP quickly covered up 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlLVPyIxip
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRgiymQNM6
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXImi0MWIDH
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeWkfvPTef
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJCSiDfYLz
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctOgXqy66Q
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRHBEFb6fQ
"Of course I'm mad!" 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncoTGTU1Pc
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjGtRVfMh0
but this by far is the worst one of them all."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFyrMaV2bs
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuMjAPdCmC
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewTBsV6I7s
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0jMf0OPjl
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xtjR6Txi0
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7Ao86xYqP
"WHAT!"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdfaQyzjCZ
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx3nYRKXbB
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGLMOa5jTs
"And the one I met at the café," I said.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3vP2pEVty
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyeOcGgZQC
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUJTOU76qW
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XMWoiwn8p
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Ed4o1qsy
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLJYAjvxG0
"Ya," I said. "I planned1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrhpCIAR7G
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ326AiweiiY
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLrp914E5s
"So you're the one who 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS41WYJT1bT
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTApS0Qti7
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TUlqOdbWR
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGNKkdDFWC
out with Seungri."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ42TWkRlp4
"I lied."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vn4fW8Bvm
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAUsGceUXX
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2VShueZu8
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnl907p9Fo
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLTVBJDclA
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4AWQnbGJs
"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."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfKDK2IMb9
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SbMNs9Xcn
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQbIbefvwx
"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."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh0DNKqNBN
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoANQGBAZOx
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MgIXs9aEH
"But where?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOUsocEByv
"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.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0p9Z9BE9l
"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.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUoXxDrjUm
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJEXpniBym
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtT1xuDraX
I took my phone out and 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbOtd2aIHs
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA2BbTf6bA
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQUITOCMAc
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡichgC82fQ3
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Y9pe4xsA
Seungri had ordered ten 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulhRDeKEPc
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFvvCnrx8w
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWYWad4bfo
favourite.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqceqPwyy7
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe753AFmQmv
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRwYZUSvCY
"I'll be ready for 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhl2cK9rk8
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI3qLec5JJ
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryVFfNbgbA
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDshAge1Y35
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwv6SGjFg9
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcDhVwqHBn
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMn232C5pH
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76jRVzD4Lu
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTOG7NBEbh
We found ourselves back 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mQJDtk3b9
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaqEfwju69
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbvQ9n9iGQ
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmfjEvw7tW
paranoid?1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDird7mcBHT
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfgTXTlrii
"What?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS7LFpnQqS
"You were frowning," Christine answered.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXkNlzhjrB
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIluG3RbomR
"Says the person who 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vbeV4QieU
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL0uzFt4O3
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjcc8odDJi
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyM1o8Ar4E
Soon after lunch, we 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnYzVi20ps
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOyK4h7Kpk
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSSnEg1LIF
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKGLGPvkwT
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXjnZ4PtDT
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gENCaibfi
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjnQvpxewD
At some point in the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSzXzP5Hc9
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZSR6R0gQc
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fyzLPGjTc
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfwPY34bbx
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitu4T7sSpI
back to practising until we could pratice no more.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLQLSrVSCv
It was five and the sun 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGHfjcFJqt
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJS9972m0c
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMKfIP07zy
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeK9zx4bso
side of me. We were all pretty tired.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7k4usLcih
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVplUedjBh
While I was resting and 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aI72t4vjj
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSnpDmAelf
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqqhxiDPoi
look on my face.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4krSBNwjm5
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMsdxoHzeP
"Go? Go where?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHS7gJZ0mI
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYFsxnMVKj
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDIXKJqUHp
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtorcYQJcwV
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21qWD81Tow
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZV1XzapGw
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDffjZiUQM
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGZRpuXVFo
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWM54DUOnr
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rQMzf50Bw
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKIMmBRF3J
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NXNgKlmVC
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvvQeuUYG2
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpFtu74rMR
"Why don't you want 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BXo4G9NMQ
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5qvbuT4BV
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsrfx9jFHZ
not to follow."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml2kQ5GJyL
I wanted to protest and 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGHuTQ12UV
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYvs7raSrn
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFMcmITzI3
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmCXhTW8vV
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU8Qo2nIZI
Dang it!1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8YM4S6dZV
"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.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjDMEOcupT
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3jPDDEBjc
"Thanks, that's nice of 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufRHifd8Vj
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI6ew5flAL
the others. "Have fun you, guys."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlXEEXPeli
Sam and Daesung left the1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAzbXCHZw0
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcgzCb5LUX
myself that the two also made a nice pair.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn5jRdjvd2
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2Rzkyuk5j
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiuUdiG5d3
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFhJFbFCw0
Christine stood up from 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7n8LvGGjc
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3h4JoqEzs
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Y0tuSdFn
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyRwCPEqlM
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW0NTpjyiI
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQLHJ2kRaR
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvxXehx3n7
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrCVUuc2bQ
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP5F86jrKv
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjundLjKcCk
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwExNep4Nsd
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66Z5i0zuCc
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf216IUVzfI
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM73a0r7pyl
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIRfSxxFbq
"I know," said Christine.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfsO8F5FPU
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwCRvudxqD
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpCW9Ozvaa
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqav4e9ACk4
"So that she can judge me? No way."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9shWbSD5k0
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni0YJ8QI3P
"Don't try to convince 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE1FRHhcjO
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIKDwAnel5
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiwwWD7AJt
like she could hit me with a hammer.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkdYM2QSeF
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk28CpGsIzb
I got up from the floor 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonoYBc9LIH
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hJKDtbKCL
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhco4uY3tr
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DBmKaoeVD
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ay7bpY5Tn
The cars soon left the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnA2XQCCOn
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO5kpY6NJf
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx2bFVLfWA
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bt12HHMvi
"Can you you please stop1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTHNwr2Lzn
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYm6OCo8bl
the teddy and lose it in the car."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg4zVbyxw0
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Goh4uOedj
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaSuCY6XlM
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HcksHE7Qt
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAwECrgWw0
"I just want to get this over with."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58uA7kbGn4
We were soon packed 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRITnNNeVzx
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ4a46LqRj
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KQS5396rn
turned to look at her.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7pGnmtor6
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmReNgqDF2
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzhOZQT6UB
Seungri also turned to 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndbUrJelxz
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGZq10fE9C
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdPjItUyvq
chest and I wished Sam was here too.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL3FEzym8j
I soon got out of the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTAWEOM62a
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8eRvyGq4C
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A4WGElcLv
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo9uP64Gch
Before I could find my 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoS6MNy5yK
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyr9DOQAyn
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF32JzxGT18
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZhbXfGVlv
I quickly went in the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4ZxKu7T01
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXfuPwmjt4
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48kFUiY2yY
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgMLjsAAGf
I slowly approached the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD1nJxmAnh
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlNyvJVOMB
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWhgrtQ8i3
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrRm1fZ0sw
hesitate to end my life right here.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbqVLWk4Ed
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOBNmF1fYR
"I was practising today," I answered.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RiDJ10yl5
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfxnJWAKgj
"Thanks," I frowned at 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Mwc1YAdD
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR7LwTS3jh
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9qAxax0Rg
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFUJ94BffT
I quickly reached out 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuDcImixQE
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBdp1DiIUD
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCZaIULSHD
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGxec9YKfl
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ2VnoQv7o
"What now?" I complained.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5slqHvQXF
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSneOxpSpJ
"What do you think? That1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoanFGppvsd
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ShtWAVzF0
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpN5VZwzc4
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kkk9RTM3V
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXPfcjRAeQ
Jehan raised an eyebrow 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWxXaNH3qe
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rCHNaJ6av
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoNN1USdaR
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kMVZKjt19
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1GY76RGrM
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJZcHKUHuc
I went back to looking 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XBJ26p0WW
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ZZaQ0GiC
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mN7KGwf3G
surprise me that he carried that thing around.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW3uzbHo7D
Jehan slowly laid the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDATh4lzyo8
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf55OaJSkPx
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf1LuaBu9d
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrImQ54rOe
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpsiY1Oio5
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cmCWbeiHr
the teddy bear.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWRU46rVoc
Wait. I frowned. This 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ee1zscVjC
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPD0i5o68O
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6dG4bFJa5
diamonds!1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjpc6i7af5
I stared horrified at 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QHIrz0dkk
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIG1veTmkv
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDky2ToZC0W
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPK1HcsaJp
I looked up at Jehan and1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnVXuX1cWx
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauny0m5eHH
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWp2R55Fm4
that, he was going to end up traumatised.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6y5C1oWo3
"Je-Jehan," I said 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C6OJhEndA
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmNax9lJvB
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0s0Fe35HU
there."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc7jU1N7A3
Jean neither moved nor 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DW3hSeovI
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd2GSr9Ej3
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKEVuNH7OJ
But how could this be? 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8lL8GhW9w
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYmVwMJntF
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy3iwrdiIP
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qFHCDtmad
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fTiSKZIvh
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImvgc3XLbD
He banged his fists on 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZYriUOLbc
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD21qi9zn1
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxMux4BxOl
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx6TxM4I3N
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeBLiHUDSq
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRebxrU7EH
"I don't know. I don't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0YgRmTQbb
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cElm1Eiwz
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczdLjm5a04
"How did the diamonds go missing?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSzG6OKEr6
"How am I supposed to 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRYBJQLk2x
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudlDQpwtUE
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT5uvGWxQt
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh9Kfo8FkV
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pDEcLQPG2
Jehan rubbed his 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjTaYsleAx
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiruFW3AX3
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldMOVLbf8l
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2W4NpXop7
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTIuYin5NW
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuABKM8GBek
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwkg7YUI3c
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudCxwiHtrb
"I don't know."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoK84PiT3e
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHywe1zuTSR
"Ummm," I looked down 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnzxXuak5o
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0gYYsxrC1
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uYaaHae2Z
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8EzT37Bk6
"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.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAj3e6BL3S
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecT17KRa5V
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYoGF9eCuP
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWkOq28s3z
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMSMMDfXiF
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHi5v3eMJS
"I don't think so. Lee 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3N9IF6Iwv
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb59p1mv3KI
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6qcqnvJZC
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzooVwAOmVO
"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."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JKh5aU107
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKkCjxzASB
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziwoytRNdj
After I said that, Jehan1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln4gYUxmnn
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HSkvVWPdY
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDofXY6CYx
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8GJhTEAc3
look on his face.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsRP4Yp0Q3
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8aSqRvhl9
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEVVOLcAiU
"I remember one of my 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlUsIsPIPF
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeJECP1NvD
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdtJHPuT85
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXT9MJ2lTp
"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!"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AhB6xoG0t
"Huh? I can't start 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk9P6clBgF
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgNrBBTzA5
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RVp9gR8yU
that the bear is missing."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0tHZNRsXu
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAErQqWWrlQ
"What do you mean?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy2zmi0qZ5
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OgoHUSpV6
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iVhhTXnEa
"Now that, makes no 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGAvhDvJ3Y
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLlb5VEfbA
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Vrw5yUSt
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfujrlwVQM
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCHfbqdFmk
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbJgd8gotw
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf495ZJgiBn
I completely forgot that1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aT7yAZd1f
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQBuj4g86h
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXtwWdXyae
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqhmjWF9ZQ
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X3VYuYw5w
Jehan gave me a smile. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5goHSHsHiC
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyswQTzN9cA
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlxtso9ShM
I nodded my head and 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iE5DZsOLM
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NbYUGe1q3
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTh3VYWuMT
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsraNRQvLV
I sat there as I buried 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNmPT4BSmJ
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jmccxscyu
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4NSWSfMKJ
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP70yKDRmKt
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRgm0Q7pdp
drama that might just ruin my life?1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW4yO0vfB2
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.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVxcJJZGId
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkMEIx3qGk
I could hear footsteps 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT2WTsX8fF
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oyVrRXqAF
when they saw the look on my face.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DKkhgjPcb
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkKW8XijuL
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUJfX1FtJI
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX4Ywt2CR3
"No," I answered. "He didn't."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKUhfSSeia
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPQi3UJxgW
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QF2K7A9JQ
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."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwobqOB3iJl
"And what about Lee?" 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhhLWJyyn1
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHxbE8KMWG
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQEsnLfPRR
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgFLmH91RL
to."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sMw96eXbh
"This is bad," I said, 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhsYxwMIVj
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKck6ZbFhu2
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23TjNqrXse
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy4DkJ9HLZ
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf400pjbPSJ
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME8ugipoLV
"Sam?" I wondered for a 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RAPTyxfWk
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkznBmaOmRV
she have swapped it with the other one?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w421I4r3f
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEIJrtcRRR
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcUHfkMrqw
what's really going on in the first place?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe1HDs3n7G
"I doubt it," I said 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywKAeB88nQ
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MZq3T2uDK
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJYBmtLNlw
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEWzHt7bXv
TOP and Seungri looked 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfHLs8MiNH
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2zvJBSKS6
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINExh61AGk
it away.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UmcuomgZZ
"I highly doubt it too,"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvs1Ulqhpk
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvQgAQbYRI
she would have asked us about it."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9CB2wXJeK
"That's true," said 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ12uSXshF
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI5R0vCbf6
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD0iVb8v8T
"And I checked out the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c17KazQD3
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJwIyUBxxS
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmhuh1dXs0
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xKIOKlfkH
"No, I highly doubt it,"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIiBVw8V7U
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Mw66n0MP
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzNLdrNjQm
said nothing about them entering a toy store."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDhQDyhU4m
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXdmxGmBT0
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD8iNcGMvd
"Collins?" Mike asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwnJc6oKfy
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRLFw301yp
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPUnxcUUMr
"But who knows? Maybe he1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe60K8Snv0M
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yA8ooncek
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwcAByCSGl
times."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSScmggsON
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL2pndNM8u
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4Q95PYewf
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRk0FUtWVI
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjiaDD5WgS
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg6owSvTqV
"He was the one who went1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWv8ScGa0w
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXTF6v4VYX
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdJflT9uK3
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8ZOBh5LJu
elevator."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdQZDfUqv1
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt5IOgCoc9
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o2mZafLGl
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjoRHGESaG
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAfAC4oxFL
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHfZ4x9Tb3
"You're right," I said 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNU8tF7Ygw
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXxCtrYNPR
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLBjXwzSfi
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdYdJoKss0
We all walked out of the1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisJJVB8joF
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenxB8ah12N
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuyDanp9tO
While I was in the car 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkLw46Hnyw
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uF8yrRZlZ
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mAxRNNnMF
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpJbW1TKlh
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOJ7NlN8GL
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizzOnwzs4x
If it isn't him, then 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT8sgMDTyY
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz9AzPW5Yu
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVUqsGv6eu
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm2YYhIQto
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyOVO7yndP
What if I had the wrong 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7OmXxnhpz
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxnThXF92f
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKqZN5Nv64
place without any of us noticing in the first place?1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqKQCFwlfs
I hope I could be able 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRiuH5UBfj
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHH0MMAJIJ
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that1062Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnBJEaTx7U
happen.
