Zoey's P.O.V724Please respect copyright.PENANAulokJwpSe0
Waking up this Monday 724Please respect copyright.PENANAJls9DqIaMs
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 724Please respect copyright.PENANAQESnbbFa9S
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 724Please respect copyright.PENANABiqnSJ9fIZ
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 724Please respect copyright.PENANA1kc7sN6ioI
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected724Please respect copyright.PENANAX3OfSMJldP
myself to be.724Please respect copyright.PENANAPbLYh71U0m
I couldn't stop 724Please respect copyright.PENANAyD5l2yAbOc
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much724Please respect copyright.PENANAkUpBiF967l
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 724Please respect copyright.PENANA4F1nhsKpui
feel that something was wrong.724Please respect copyright.PENANAbQOTLEtqLO
Could they have known 724Please respect copyright.PENANAsmqaudiTVb
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 724Please respect copyright.PENANAv8SshWOsru
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 724Please respect copyright.PENANAeSY5GjHpre
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 724Please respect copyright.PENANAf06kdYruDR
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 724Please respect copyright.PENANAs6ITYvhnQq
just had our usual conversation.724Please respect copyright.PENANA6v9whZRqpc
I brushed off all those 724Please respect copyright.PENANA3zRhtMgp2P
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The724Please respect copyright.PENANA6S7yEqelHO
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 724Please respect copyright.PENANAGX5bTr2Vyv
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when724Please respect copyright.PENANAigDmEJD7h8
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.724Please respect copyright.PENANATEVZVuCKLS
But now that she wasn't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAZMaYyv7W1h
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 724Please respect copyright.PENANAalSd4bcc2M
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.724Please respect copyright.PENANASUnA4wUBiZ
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have724Please respect copyright.PENANAJTspjhrGnQ
woken up early before the alarm rang.724Please respect copyright.PENANAzcnZ0CegFd
I sat up on my bed and 724Please respect copyright.PENANAVN0V5aoK2c
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 724Please respect copyright.PENANAu1TzpA63kL
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 724Please respect copyright.PENANAvA3boippoU
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 724Please respect copyright.PENANA533lrpLV4b
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.724Please respect copyright.PENANA00tvwZAPGq
After seeing her with 724Please respect copyright.PENANAV1EEtwc8xF
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I724Please respect copyright.PENANAKn1wShNiUz
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I724Please respect copyright.PENANAgCvryK05en
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 724Please respect copyright.PENANAuV131M3RB4
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 724Please respect copyright.PENANAM9JEzWv4SL
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole724Please respect copyright.PENANAf5chqxD0ib
day. That left me devastated.724Please respect copyright.PENANAN7yIn9Q2Uo
I couldn't stop looking 724Please respect copyright.PENANAdmwSnayXBP
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 724Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ8Lg37LuF
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 724Please respect copyright.PENANACpxm1iMfgi
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 724Please respect copyright.PENANAuFup9ydGGq
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They724Please respect copyright.PENANAeCuQUGTFbS
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 724Please respect copyright.PENANAGTZPKdRTUF
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.724Please respect copyright.PENANAnWKkXIYIBK
That sent me boiling to a724Please respect copyright.PENANAYnKHfHRp9L
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me724Please respect copyright.PENANAKo6t0zK6ii
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 724Please respect copyright.PENANAPERQFiqVEo
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.724Please respect copyright.PENANAfacvGFEI1u
Christine had told me to724Please respect copyright.PENANAL6nWuIscRY
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 724Please respect copyright.PENANAb1iDXiS0t1
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told724Please respect copyright.PENANA00LmGCFV6H
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 724Please respect copyright.PENANAY9dNc1lKEf
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest724Please respect copyright.PENANAM3t6IJQRKo
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 724Please respect copyright.PENANAILfTcIKIei
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.724Please respect copyright.PENANAUZTOLwZVqn
And now, I had to face 724Please respect copyright.PENANANSekxHNkeR
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 724Please respect copyright.PENANAmoupUWaFcF
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music724Please respect copyright.PENANAcp072vbHNP
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 724Please respect copyright.PENANAsLR08MDm9I
was still so upset.724Please respect copyright.PENANASBBIlff93P
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAhycbOCly8q
After I was done, I 724Please respect copyright.PENANAoCCFobap46
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 724Please respect copyright.PENANAT0VpWUtjGP
others at the dining table for breakfast.724Please respect copyright.PENANAsImf52P5eF
I found them already 724Please respect copyright.PENANAVoY6SY6JAT
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 724Please respect copyright.PENANAQYDoIJPExj
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.724Please respect copyright.PENANAke7Ko1NNpz
I felt a little awkward 724Please respect copyright.PENANAO9pBU14m9Z
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't724Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jz44EsxIU
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and724Please respect copyright.PENANAVLFxMlNStI
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 724Please respect copyright.PENANAIoqLnlME6G
that also felt weird.724Please respect copyright.PENANABgm6XLUjn8
I know that she and I 724Please respect copyright.PENANAGrL9T4NjJm
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 724Please respect copyright.PENANAieIX0t25QT
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 724Please respect copyright.PENANA5y5Zp7mXq1
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 724Please respect copyright.PENANAvyv23RfUSq
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 724Please respect copyright.PENANAbywcxrt9Wk
like something was wrong.724Please respect copyright.PENANAUuuV7zS1Wf
I poured myself a cup of724Please respect copyright.PENANA9Glag8vx7N
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 724Please respect copyright.PENANAUDYVFmPgGw
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.724Please respect copyright.PENANA7i7YPdgyXj
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"724Please respect copyright.PENANACtNi1Ryrb4
My heart almost skipped a724Please respect copyright.PENANAV0vJqYaUvC
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know724Please respect copyright.PENANAtxRDBcnKrV
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way724Please respect copyright.PENANAFb1sFL9j3x
too far. I was over here! Hello!724Please respect copyright.PENANAPWyzAzkzBv
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."724Please respect copyright.PENANADFavIdC7MG
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.724Please respect copyright.PENANAePFB6WEeWd
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.724Please respect copyright.PENANA6lOrKEBS7Z
"I have no doubt about it."724Please respect copyright.PENANA8vrrkqVQmj
"But I don't see why you724Please respect copyright.PENANAkYjRpjlTmo
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 724Please respect copyright.PENANA7iCj50MPx4
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."724Please respect copyright.PENANAu3iqXkjluD
"One thing about fans is724Please respect copyright.PENANAS4AThtR9ps
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 724Please respect copyright.PENANA4QRfqkWcAV
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANAKkobjHJSrC
"I know," said Lee. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAlPgRlEExkZ
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 724Please respect copyright.PENANABjakCKNs5B
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 724Please respect copyright.PENANARa8XUDze8E
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."724Please respect copyright.PENANAEoqlUIshdz
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.724Please respect copyright.PENANAiNhQTUfHWU
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."724Please respect copyright.PENANARPMLuECL5E
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.724Please respect copyright.PENANAuGxeGTubRx
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."724Please respect copyright.PENANARATriWe55e
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgO3up2OCde
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.724Please respect copyright.PENANAvw2Udgrrxu
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANAx85SiRRORU
"You're just too quiet, that's all."724Please respect copyright.PENANAvU7AzytgBU
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."724Please respect copyright.PENANAcCEUMIkEwu
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."724Please respect copyright.PENANAbJp5QgM5TU
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.724Please respect copyright.PENANAX2QlqgIDmq
I stuck my tongue out at724Please respect copyright.PENANATgPgxXhCqG
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the724Please respect copyright.PENANA7JanHKiv2h
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 724Please respect copyright.PENANAPXv0AW1RSc
still wasn't looking in my direction.724Please respect copyright.PENANAaROI89gB9C
Soon after breakfast, we724Please respect copyright.PENANAVtstg5L6VX
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were724Please respect copyright.PENANAK2zQvR8TJA
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 724Please respect copyright.PENANAAOSP4ms2aX
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 724Please respect copyright.PENANAZev3kZdCYh
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what724Please respect copyright.PENANANSMbSrSKUS
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 724Please respect copyright.PENANAmPN3sRB6Lj
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 724Please respect copyright.PENANAYDZquq1Wdf
she would.724Please respect copyright.PENANAv9tCNy6Zdo
We arrived at YG and we 724Please respect copyright.PENANAm9hLUWNvmG
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 724Please respect copyright.PENANAo8xeG5Akc6
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with724Please respect copyright.PENANAUT0qwbJ7vT
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.724Please respect copyright.PENANAjT9sxENbXh
When everyone was 724Please respect copyright.PENANARZjWdAUxkP
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when724Please respect copyright.PENANAeq31TfUUaX
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 724Please respect copyright.PENANAU2qX3Qssql
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 724Please respect copyright.PENANAnlQT7jvVL6
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.724Please respect copyright.PENANAGyFrfZ99W1
He not responding to me 724Please respect copyright.PENANAYxeOaXPy1K
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He724Please respect copyright.PENANAwJqPjKQjnN
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted724Please respect copyright.PENANA4yn61348pg
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAJl8PqKLbNR
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 724Please respect copyright.PENANALuPRg5TcEM
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just724Please respect copyright.PENANAm5iNHnOUKG
looked away instead.724Please respect copyright.PENANA2CjrVQhM9k
We went straight to 724Please respect copyright.PENANAfusrgvcIMD
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 724Please respect copyright.PENANA6QxSg5E98c
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 724Please respect copyright.PENANAdI4neP6HLm
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I724Please respect copyright.PENANAn7NIAijSTe
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 724Please respect copyright.PENANATKEkmtlzdF
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.724Please respect copyright.PENANA6SERKBcTVP
During pratice, I 724Please respect copyright.PENANAXNPxwonC7g
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 724Please respect copyright.PENANAOpSbX92Iyc
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I724Please respect copyright.PENANAm03epseBtB
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.724Please respect copyright.PENANAA4dVug1PV8
G-Dragon wasn't the only724Please respect copyright.PENANAyuAtiz5D64
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAAK37Q7NRv8
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 724Please respect copyright.PENANAWEw4yMVFvq
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 724Please respect copyright.PENANAWDE3l0CFes
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What724Please respect copyright.PENANAXt2GfwkSG6
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?724Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ14VhAhuh
As her best friend, I 724Please respect copyright.PENANA3I25Mk0cGo
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 724Please respect copyright.PENANAmYAh6t57P6
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 724Please respect copyright.PENANAOopWNHYpxk
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 724Please respect copyright.PENANAMCtfxvcwF9
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.724Please respect copyright.PENANAhH6oSEZQkM
She is also smart, 724Please respect copyright.PENANAUk9LscwjeI
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 724Please respect copyright.PENANAoxRNn80HXh
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 724Please respect copyright.PENANAmWZZ7cJOmf
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even724Please respect copyright.PENANA6eJnZDGT15
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.724Please respect copyright.PENANA8YrFl1m7QY
Sam has a lot of good 724Please respect copyright.PENANAIdljxjjhNI
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her724Please respect copyright.PENANAfj6ZoA5SP2
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 724Please respect copyright.PENANAThIjDyjzqD
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAZlMKcSzPD7
want to hurt anyone around her.724Please respect copyright.PENANATl8jLSVkzJ
Realising this made me 724Please respect copyright.PENANAUN6Q1srG2S
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 724Please respect copyright.PENANAD82X4Hhl6r
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 724Please respect copyright.PENANAvrDrcZwuTK
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 724Please respect copyright.PENANAuZKiqr2YLN
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 724Please respect copyright.PENANAFo2swfYvdH
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 724Please respect copyright.PENANAtT1sGElIMf
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 724Please respect copyright.PENANAuK2eqhHDmo
realise it till now.724Please respect copyright.PENANANblQfmB048
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.724Please respect copyright.PENANAMQvucqjRz5
"Zoey, you aren't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAo3gjJYcj2F
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 724Please respect copyright.PENANA1KujfwrgR0
second time you have made the same mistake."724Please respect copyright.PENANAlc1XFRON1Q
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."724Please respect copyright.PENANAHWTtoC7bPx
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."724Please respect copyright.PENANA01bbtPy6xt
It was lunch the time we724Please respect copyright.PENANAX80KwL5qqo
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 724Please respect copyright.PENANAUTia6eSFoF
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 724Please respect copyright.PENANAouXEN4kiA8
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 724Please respect copyright.PENANAGYtpddHbbQ
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 724Please respect copyright.PENANAkHM1DUUQBq
they were all laughing.724Please respect copyright.PENANAo4QRPsHTlS
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.724Please respect copyright.PENANADPMv6AB9Vm
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."724Please respect copyright.PENANA6rRuLAT9g2
"Still not talking to Sam?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAbppmFKTeoC
"Nope."724Please respect copyright.PENANAhFlBdmCYLa
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."724Please respect copyright.PENANAJTIT5lAt2J
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.724Please respect copyright.PENANALFikvQOFuS
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAnYqGYjlXKu
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.724Please respect copyright.PENANAJkzKhwiGx2
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."724Please respect copyright.PENANAsZXJ0mtGnc
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."724Please respect copyright.PENANAVmhA6yB0ZH
"I know. But you aren't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAk7eJB5xnAO
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAYt3UbBCfOV
You would be chit chatting like you always do."724Please respect copyright.PENANAOVihtR0Jyi
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA7XqsnnPns5
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."724Please respect copyright.PENANA3wa7rslvQ0
I frowned. "Why?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAErSoajidUT
"Because you look miserable."724Please respect copyright.PENANAw7jkOq1003
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.724Please respect copyright.PENANAVVShrsC55D
"Miserable!"724Please respect copyright.PENANA5dP7GEXYn3
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."724Please respect copyright.PENANAoxogqnYUfH
I thought for a moment 724Please respect copyright.PENANATtO2O7ftwJ
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAQwXtnhSLuR
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 724Please respect copyright.PENANAADvNX5XbJX
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 724Please respect copyright.PENANAia1dLsLWi5
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.724Please respect copyright.PENANAeSlQa8kdPw
Seeing all this in front724Please respect copyright.PENANAiaj6bWwu0H
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 724Please respect copyright.PENANA14iyLRoG3k
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 724Please respect copyright.PENANA8hqde8auFC
Until TOP came to talk to me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAzWDMLIiOJc
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."724Please respect copyright.PENANAD5gNH2JUl6
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAf0Y7CTw6Mx
"I don't know," I said 724Please respect copyright.PENANAkFfwtXPzt1
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but724Please respect copyright.PENANA1tuZRxKOK8
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."724Please respect copyright.PENANAJrA7xOJGvB
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANALIrvQtFc4Y
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.724Please respect copyright.PENANArlXtkR66bz
"Then why don't you talk to her?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3Lgki0yRN
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."724Please respect copyright.PENANAJdjqGBeWPZ
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."724Please respect copyright.PENANAD3qHlabDot
"I know."724Please respect copyright.PENANAw9mws8QUQw
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"724Please respect copyright.PENANASb5r6gq18D
"I'll think about it."724Please respect copyright.PENANArPGS5PKlOQ
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAAZNc7eweAX
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.724Please respect copyright.PENANAWR3wXqk0zR
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.724Please respect copyright.PENANA7UOn8EAoI3
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.724Please respect copyright.PENANALv1eeCvNB1
The three of us went out724Please respect copyright.PENANAza8RHczmj1
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 724Please respect copyright.PENANAEbWX7teEbu
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.724Please respect copyright.PENANAYFZP8IxD30
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.724Please respect copyright.PENANAsXIMbycLlc
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.724Please respect copyright.PENANA67Vs1aUzTP
"Chill, you just ordered724Please respect copyright.PENANAxYTX7h5383
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one724Please respect copyright.PENANAlpIGpBv434
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.724Please respect copyright.PENANAJt4GEkrR1C
"But I'm so hungry."724Please respect copyright.PENANAwqg9lgFa6D
"Trust me, you aren't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAFRUrTKUoEE
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 724Please respect copyright.PENANArlW7enkdrK
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 724Please respect copyright.PENANADWuQmVjXvN
have."724Please respect copyright.PENANAMPJ8jL7IC9
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAwJREcUiBEg
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.724Please respect copyright.PENANA53yYdGMby3
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.724Please respect copyright.PENANAqq9QR8eghO
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."724Please respect copyright.PENANAudVSy4MNFY
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.724Please respect copyright.PENANAsgisSMPsHx
I didn't say anything as724Please respect copyright.PENANA9a9d8UR8oc
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 724Please respect copyright.PENANA8lRFd1LKuE
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 724Please respect copyright.PENANAXjbKYPopVc
calling.724Please respect copyright.PENANASBET5HktzS
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.724Please respect copyright.PENANACY2SEqjkhD
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.724Please respect copyright.PENANA8kWnBKnOT3
"Okay, well you better answer that call."724Please respect copyright.PENANA8IUbcjxSDT
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.724Please respect copyright.PENANAd4rDcSd8I2
"Hello," I answered.724Please respect copyright.PENANAfUThKvUSsO
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAmg5G3vDv2E
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAf4yikhF1W4
"We have to meet today, ASAP."724Please respect copyright.PENANAdwqXDZuyFv
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."724Please respect copyright.PENANA7Flm0XydtW
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."724Please respect copyright.PENANA35kDfBuyYv
I knew Jehan was going 724Please respect copyright.PENANAo0M0oq1qZ4
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 724Please respect copyright.PENANA25Rac8mjtv
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 724Please respect copyright.PENANAlkBviujNYS
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 724Please respect copyright.PENANAioUv5YBfgd
was upstairs in the dance studio.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxx2vvWjGSd
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5wnFyAIAu
"I'm coming to YG to get it."724Please respect copyright.PENANAkQLJiYr9z9
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."724Please respect copyright.PENANAtpZKGht3gK
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."724Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wf82EhiER
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.724Please respect copyright.PENANAJSYyPfyMLk
He cut the call and I 724Please respect copyright.PENANAG18GXzpe3J
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through724Please respect copyright.PENANAySg77RajYW
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here724Please respect copyright.PENANAsmhlGdn0lg
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see724Please respect copyright.PENANABX7ZhFlImS
him they would start to ask questions.724Please respect copyright.PENANAvY6V2ZOwnA
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAYtZ3nHLdZl
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.724Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZBoAwdx83
"What?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAoJVgtgM1ia
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAACI9QpzdGp
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAraPMxw5ZcP
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."724Please respect copyright.PENANAMYZujSP28l
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."724Please respect copyright.PENANAuV95JQsYcc
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."724Please respect copyright.PENANAxDk4osIOXc
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."724Please respect copyright.PENANAboWPBiujEU
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAsNRLcaw5ZV
Dang it! I was cornered 724Please respect copyright.PENANAbfkcvIlmsg
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 724Please respect copyright.PENANAI03kSHhHUs
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 724Please respect copyright.PENANAD4dqfd52GY
light no matter how much you try to hide it.724Please respect copyright.PENANAG4RPM4zbn4
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."724Please respect copyright.PENANAMp8Dl4xGXB
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."724Please respect copyright.PENANAmwLEOd4F3I
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.724Please respect copyright.PENANA1DoTHRB0h4
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.724Please respect copyright.PENANAIGkjmj6hot
I told them everything 724Please respect copyright.PENANA5zECWhSZxk
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't724Please respect copyright.PENANAOkmaVdYyo4
said a word until I finished the whole story.724Please respect copyright.PENANAG53rIoFx7H
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAKLES1lOT8i
"Just you two," I answered.724Please respect copyright.PENANA642IDEbGh1
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA8IHhGkdtxj
"Surprising, right?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAs1025iNJrA
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.724Please respect copyright.PENANAUSLgeWzJIB
"We should involve the police," said TOP.724Please respect copyright.PENANAW7toTXGQUZ
"No! We can't!"724Please respect copyright.PENANAnhfKyYIksg
"Why?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAdEsxUBN01f
"You know word goes out 724Please respect copyright.PENANAEChTK3L1Pe
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and724Please respect copyright.PENANAgXzq8ePcxQ
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."724Please respect copyright.PENANALwkNwPO8Wk
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANA7M8LsFmi5I
"He assured me that this724Please respect copyright.PENANAYyDfHiYwZu
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 724Please respect copyright.PENANA2xdjUuDjCH
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."724Please respect copyright.PENANA3kuDV7hlFx
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.724Please respect copyright.PENANAwvLPpv06Ir
The three of us turned 724Please respect copyright.PENANAxbdApRxjHs
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 724Please respect copyright.PENANAZrMpqUoozj
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?724Please respect copyright.PENANAdAW7TRwIbn
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.724Please respect copyright.PENANA5yaiVsV7RU
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANA96lr5xIKsA
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgy2FMay1Br
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAENhPTuMRUi
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."724Please respect copyright.PENANAoHvjS4ZsYP
"Random stuff involving a724Please respect copyright.PENANAtm411uLRJ2
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 724Please respect copyright.PENANAcwUfGevKXs
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 724Please respect copyright.PENANAQOfHWSzNQr
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 724Please respect copyright.PENANAHvIhgMnZV8
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."724Please respect copyright.PENANAoQSWEEYwQf
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?724Please respect copyright.PENANA4ugpIQPw8l
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."724Please respect copyright.PENANAPpe2DSDKLS
"Okay, I won't."724Please respect copyright.PENANATF11iRgowa
"Sit down."724Please respect copyright.PENANApq0V3TIgCL
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.724Please respect copyright.PENANAiC6KOaS7CW
"I got myself into trouble," I started.724Please respect copyright.PENANAT9wkDxj9UQ
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"724Please respect copyright.PENANATikOiIBNMF
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."724Please respect copyright.PENANANoBSMs9mLg
Christine's face soon 724Please respect copyright.PENANAIIi34yoDbY
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 724Please respect copyright.PENANA3yvkFB9iuf
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....724Please respect copyright.PENANAMCzsgSdn9r
"What!"724Please respect copyright.PENANA52bPrOSLhQ
TOP quickly covered up 724Please respect copyright.PENANAPXUhNUuykh
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 724Please respect copyright.PENANAbERiq6MjlE
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 724Please respect copyright.PENANAGJAYOBStZb
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.724Please respect copyright.PENANAtyFtpfFtAb
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANA7ERV1F7j1M
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA36Gu7trsQa
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxJilXnp5yx
"Of course I'm mad!" 724Please respect copyright.PENANAxF5QbkepM7
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 724Please respect copyright.PENANAv47V5ePrsB
but this by far is the worst one of them all."724Please respect copyright.PENANANLT3ElDTXd
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.724Please respect copyright.PENANADzdTLo7cAB
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAeAyPE8y6l2
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAkrfqrlRuzj
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAWzafl2mwdp
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.724Please respect copyright.PENANAjfxfvvXWoq
"WHAT!"724Please respect copyright.PENANAaYlthLEFJC
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.724Please respect copyright.PENANAqwgIb7FobI
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAGtugkDsI8z
"And the one I met at the café," I said.724Please respect copyright.PENANA5UNoaysE4i
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANALSftfXuDgK
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.724Please respect copyright.PENANAflDWiFJucW
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAaAb7Yf36Wy
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.724Please respect copyright.PENANA8itTsJRMKc
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.724Please respect copyright.PENANAlu2pKno2xX
"Ya," I said. "I planned724Please respect copyright.PENANA4nuTbr0uAu
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 724Please respect copyright.PENANA37dZMcZ0Jh
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.724Please respect copyright.PENANAkDKdH9Zx6h
"So you're the one who 724Please respect copyright.PENANATBKpVD4mw1
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 724Please respect copyright.PENANAITQWoClnqt
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 724Please respect copyright.PENANAshzLxuPNMk
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 724Please respect copyright.PENANAjSlfVW04j6
out with Seungri."724Please respect copyright.PENANAyITFjxpeNo
"I lied."724Please respect copyright.PENANAJe8eyYlCR9
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."724Please respect copyright.PENANAlumpnQJTrp
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.724Please respect copyright.PENANA666Arsf8sH
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAGvgUszMyId
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."724Please respect copyright.PENANAa81DzYL1pt
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."724Please respect copyright.PENANAKZUKHY4OXa
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANAeKNlxHZ5hv
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAGpg3Oz6QtL
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.724Please respect copyright.PENANASEATHoEgHs
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANAFvl9Tlim9q
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."724Please respect copyright.PENANAzb03ZRO8HF
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.724Please respect copyright.PENANAwvEXmktRlN
"But where?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAaUQuPDZuhv
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA5MFbVrBBH3
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA80u1iKWxHh
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgxZoTiZdQp
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.724Please respect copyright.PENANALlPh5rMO12
I took my phone out and 724Please respect copyright.PENANAoSqJDiEFZA
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in724Please respect copyright.PENANA7gjwCfYW0X
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.724Please respect copyright.PENANAbpI7gWCuwt
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.724Please respect copyright.PENANAI6NEvPYyyC
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.724Please respect copyright.PENANA9tB465QXEr
Seungri had ordered ten 724Please respect copyright.PENANAI8t4irmnXx
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 724Please respect copyright.PENANA8f6nzn7hMR
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 724Please respect copyright.PENANApeEbvKz7vK
favourite.724Please respect copyright.PENANA7uM42qQots
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.724Please respect copyright.PENANAp2al85ymrW
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.724Please respect copyright.PENANANYuyluZ4Lw
"I'll be ready for 724Please respect copyright.PENANAftnvkdxI4v
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything724Please respect copyright.PENANAlwRWy3HgBm
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."724Please respect copyright.PENANAHupje5RYJ9
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."724Please respect copyright.PENANAfZZa8IPYKn
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.724Please respect copyright.PENANABvt0zfsSRP
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."724Please respect copyright.PENANAxDY9Hk3nqp
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANAN6u1ubDFvx
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."724Please respect copyright.PENANApi6dvE70Gt
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."724Please respect copyright.PENANA5bAb5oCe8S
We found ourselves back 724Please respect copyright.PENANAiCbjZBC26W
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 724Please respect copyright.PENANAVkNAp2zYN8
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 724Please respect copyright.PENANASVsEtMGza7
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 724Please respect copyright.PENANAdcUBRPf2eW
paranoid?724Please respect copyright.PENANA7LpY96niUY
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.724Please respect copyright.PENANAEdJ5ZqMhmt
"What?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAbllwE3PP5A
"You were frowning," Christine answered.724Please respect copyright.PENANAppjIBGx58W
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."724Please respect copyright.PENANAzi83Rgpwng
"Says the person who 724Please respect copyright.PENANAUvYANPymoJ
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 724Please respect copyright.PENANA3MxQztchRf
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 724Please respect copyright.PENANA72mJFOcR9L
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.724Please respect copyright.PENANAfCeEbA9wOM
Soon after lunch, we 724Please respect copyright.PENANArQaZuofepD
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 724Please respect copyright.PENANAIKsz0KYkoc
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time724Please respect copyright.PENANAoIeSquLLRG
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 724Please respect copyright.PENANALWNuNAFnCl
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know724Please respect copyright.PENANAB94qWLNAvH
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the724Please respect copyright.PENANAEKURn71Cds
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.724Please respect copyright.PENANA89ngPDcWiZ
At some point in the 724Please respect copyright.PENANAyP6zuPzpT8
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 724Please respect copyright.PENANAinSjecuXaA
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 724Please respect copyright.PENANANdMMFIIFAL
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAtdS9SZ4FEE
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 724Please respect copyright.PENANAMbPIaCQFsq
back to practising until we could pratice no more.724Please respect copyright.PENANADLbH5jgoYL
It was five and the sun 724Please respect copyright.PENANAJV9T2GUqew
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I724Please respect copyright.PENANAlNKIOWtwDo
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAdo4DJfDci8
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 724Please respect copyright.PENANAI6HssvMMcA
side of me. We were all pretty tired.724Please respect copyright.PENANAwwtDcdp4vk
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.724Please respect copyright.PENANAQNZiaINvp0
While I was resting and 724Please respect copyright.PENANAVB7y8DJogc
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 724Please respect copyright.PENANAxaZnYapUWJ
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 724Please respect copyright.PENANAyczLLMuItR
look on my face.724Please respect copyright.PENANApm20dxYToX
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.724Please respect copyright.PENANAuSwBdqAA7P
"Go? Go where?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANACdbP58QeUx
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.724Please respect copyright.PENANA4H9UejfaoC
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.724Please respect copyright.PENANAe2odx0jVYo
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."724Please respect copyright.PENANAMMnPc1y3lo
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.724Please respect copyright.PENANAkEG8drbdzp
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."724Please respect copyright.PENANAjF4HokKAgE
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.724Please respect copyright.PENANAfRiGR62ZlW
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."724Please respect copyright.PENANAwdhZptB0n2
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.724Please respect copyright.PENANAfQbZxPeQIQ
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.724Please respect copyright.PENANAvj1UQRUPKa
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.724Please respect copyright.PENANAjNWmANDA5y
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."724Please respect copyright.PENANAf2XHrBG9VH
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."724Please respect copyright.PENANAKXptGnUYHi
"Ya, me too," said Mike.724Please respect copyright.PENANAju580Xpvym
"Why don't you want 724Please respect copyright.PENANAzghz8JjSYx
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAu8GBubeTj5
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 724Please respect copyright.PENANAbBDorL5oGG
not to follow."724Please respect copyright.PENANAABdQ1v213c
I wanted to protest and 724Please respect copyright.PENANAuIsnWd2MXC
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 724Please respect copyright.PENANAb3IyPumNyD
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 724Please respect copyright.PENANAZh1Fx0SphS
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.724Please respect copyright.PENANAGVxJUgLHPX
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.724Please respect copyright.PENANAaxBokwUDkB
Dang it!724Please respect copyright.PENANA1EiLG9dZFZ
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAz4hzomteeQ
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.724Please respect copyright.PENANA7aXSnNOU0r
"Thanks, that's nice of 724Please respect copyright.PENANAhnqAKXog9l
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 724Please respect copyright.PENANAKtrPVsj58R
the others. "Have fun you, guys."724Please respect copyright.PENANAkbRTCoN7lr
Sam and Daesung left the724Please respect copyright.PENANAjpOAx3M7ro
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 724Please respect copyright.PENANADB7k4PnQer
myself that the two also made a nice pair.724Please respect copyright.PENANAWnbiJw7S0u
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANA0k9zGcqdGo
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."724Please respect copyright.PENANAkoe82rilzU
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.724Please respect copyright.PENANAETpi9wFHNm
Christine stood up from 724Please respect copyright.PENANAPRg8yFtzwi
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 724Please respect copyright.PENANAqFrbjYSNxm
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."724Please respect copyright.PENANAVcaJgzoMEY
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAYQtbJHYTwt
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."724Please respect copyright.PENANAXTOv7NISAC
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."724Please respect copyright.PENANAVmbjm8ekkm
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.724Please respect copyright.PENANA9uFwljSqqH
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAMJHJJkAmc5
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.724Please respect copyright.PENANANp4fLeHWS2
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAFBnSpxBHrZ
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."724Please respect copyright.PENANA4dv0Uopg5N
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.724Please respect copyright.PENANAJtCn63SBMi
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.724Please respect copyright.PENANA8dyHqBCtjx
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.724Please respect copyright.PENANAClajpIVVE3
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.724Please respect copyright.PENANAwujjmXjfPz
"I know," said Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANAVkKGT0wb2f
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAhwVfdABLcr
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."724Please respect copyright.PENANAjsfl9UxaZI
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.724Please respect copyright.PENANAn6UQ6aNbTF
"So that she can judge me? No way."724Please respect copyright.PENANAFAcaeuPuRs
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."724Please respect copyright.PENANAZ35DQJ0tVq
"Don't try to convince 724Please respect copyright.PENANAijvIa5JEyS
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 724Please respect copyright.PENANAhDToI4v25r
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me724Please respect copyright.PENANAZSr1NT5eKF
like she could hit me with a hammer.724Please respect copyright.PENANAvSoCX0lahi
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.724Please respect copyright.PENANAq9rkLTSDJ4
I got up from the floor 724Please respect copyright.PENANAfp9FEaJLqc
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 724Please respect copyright.PENANAxL7VcAV1ch
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 724Please respect copyright.PENANAeaNVbnQJsO
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 724Please respect copyright.PENANAAfSrW1phrt
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.724Please respect copyright.PENANAexrDzYwB98
The cars soon left the 724Please respect copyright.PENANAaksNdt1rfM
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 724Please respect copyright.PENANAyzmAwe0x9b
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 724Please respect copyright.PENANAiBCBTqW4Og
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.724Please respect copyright.PENANADAm5MPlDif
"Can you you please stop724Please respect copyright.PENANAIt7x0hzfnz
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 724Please respect copyright.PENANAtejcsLxQMk
the teddy and lose it in the car."724Please respect copyright.PENANA7HtQWdv0yp
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANAWpwT6hk4Je
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."724Please respect copyright.PENANATKElYSDkT4
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."724Please respect copyright.PENANAoUFFHm6wnb
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.724Please respect copyright.PENANAp4Q6xIt4T2
"I just want to get this over with."724Please respect copyright.PENANAUGQVtnbtFZ
We were soon packed 724Please respect copyright.PENANAzfzUljarOZ
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 724Please respect copyright.PENANACaB25voq2t
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 724Please respect copyright.PENANALtLUIS9tDe
turned to look at her.724Please respect copyright.PENANAHPPxceHwHA
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."724Please respect copyright.PENANA5N9yEiwUi8
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."724Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ4UncfJkQ
Seungri also turned to 724Please respect copyright.PENANA1jxk9UDbdY
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 724Please respect copyright.PENANAaXYyGTQfyk
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 724Please respect copyright.PENANA1qZe2oxmgT
chest and I wished Sam was here too.724Please respect copyright.PENANAKk0jc5rVKT
I soon got out of the 724Please respect copyright.PENANAmSXcATjW2u
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 724Please respect copyright.PENANAq4ThfIe5V3
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I724Please respect copyright.PENANAiy8ONEf4cD
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.724Please respect copyright.PENANAygcvugMwYf
Before I could find my 724Please respect copyright.PENANA1RvB80s5oT
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 724Please respect copyright.PENANAD5moK1uf3s
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 724Please respect copyright.PENANAqLTCRPZm3e
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.724Please respect copyright.PENANANdgxMXEeON
I quickly went in the 724Please respect copyright.PENANAsdu0tj3Lol
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 724Please respect copyright.PENANA0JjVt1gve1
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 724Please respect copyright.PENANAKvYTBLykgt
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.724Please respect copyright.PENANAkFJSa65Fmc
I slowly approached the 724Please respect copyright.PENANAENaYf59IoK
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 724Please respect copyright.PENANAHBoRvK5KWg
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 724Please respect copyright.PENANAhIlTKGeGog
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAwL0rJAgFPx
hesitate to end my life right here.724Please respect copyright.PENANAm0MN3TeoGk
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."724Please respect copyright.PENANAkky4o8jCVW
"I was practising today," I answered.724Please respect copyright.PENANAynwQ8LleNn
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."724Please respect copyright.PENANAOcqZxjgiav
"Thanks," I frowned at 724Please respect copyright.PENANA0jg1oGSyU9
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 724Please respect copyright.PENANAu80xrYeIpL
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."724Please respect copyright.PENANA0wvZaAN925
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."724Please respect copyright.PENANAtkHk3x6q50
I quickly reached out 724Please respect copyright.PENANAJtusnDBJBg
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 724Please respect copyright.PENANAiQKRaAEb0O
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.724Please respect copyright.PENANAaOqhfEu4qn
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAyOwTVGByJ2
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.724Please respect copyright.PENANAI1BBc9XU6F
"What now?" I complained.724Please respect copyright.PENANAqEx2X5dY2q
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.724Please respect copyright.PENANARTutVpFQSO
"What do you think? That724Please respect copyright.PENANAOC2b875y6n
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 724Please respect copyright.PENANAjgBKACCatb
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 724Please respect copyright.PENANAoT2GmqFpwC
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 724Please respect copyright.PENANAqYDYY8f6k3
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."724Please respect copyright.PENANA2fB7M55Gzb
Jehan raised an eyebrow 724Please respect copyright.PENANA1QYc7iTIFD
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going724Please respect copyright.PENANAkPrLOujUJZ
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a724Please respect copyright.PENANAoldocfC6Ps
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."724Please respect copyright.PENANAzXbtv4cOl2
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."724Please respect copyright.PENANARzirkhYRlB
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.724Please respect copyright.PENANAIzyRktAz3s
I went back to looking 724Please respect copyright.PENANALczzVHPUid
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into724Please respect copyright.PENANA9joChKXRtr
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAwXzK12G5zH
surprise me that he carried that thing around.724Please respect copyright.PENANALLx7QWr6OR
Jehan slowly laid the 724Please respect copyright.PENANAxeFfU7nUxZ
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 724Please respect copyright.PENANAWIHWjBTo4P
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 724Please respect copyright.PENANA2XZ7xD2sby
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 724Please respect copyright.PENANATEvtitKwGB
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 724Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZW6tKb6bE
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of724Please respect copyright.PENANAzjLA7lDl6y
the teddy bear.724Please respect copyright.PENANAQQL2vktYkX
Wait. I frowned. This 724Please respect copyright.PENANAnu0SNU6EIQ
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 724Please respect copyright.PENANAfjunHfEBDl
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 724Please respect copyright.PENANApBFRusUckA
diamonds!724Please respect copyright.PENANAzINYLzX5tK
I stared horrified at 724Please respect copyright.PENANAY9ErztInkX
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 724Please respect copyright.PENANAlQC8Xq4FuL
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 724Please respect copyright.PENANACn1KJ1OwTw
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.724Please respect copyright.PENANAxf6VTsrwhf
I looked up at Jehan and724Please respect copyright.PENANAbdYu5yPkRc
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAy1ni4vrANR
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 724Please respect copyright.PENANANzz2EfP2Ow
that, he was going to end up traumatised.724Please respect copyright.PENANAHSIln5AT4p
"Je-Jehan," I said 724Please respect copyright.PENANA6rbgyx6ibA
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAfou7TrZJCG
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in724Please respect copyright.PENANADo43Nsr5if
there."724Please respect copyright.PENANAXTUx4X7nid
Jean neither moved nor 724Please respect copyright.PENANA45aS9AdF1V
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 724Please respect copyright.PENANAAcE389qAXn
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.724Please respect copyright.PENANAANmUmZQWRU
But how could this be? 724Please respect copyright.PENANAU2JZXg3Y1P
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 724Please respect copyright.PENANAj17GI0auLI
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 724Please respect copyright.PENANAiUSBznRE82
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.724Please respect copyright.PENANAUVKuBMEka5
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.724Please respect copyright.PENANAjdqnH00PMk
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.724Please respect copyright.PENANAcBUh98ca3I
He banged his fists on 724Please respect copyright.PENANAocozAjS2pL
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 724Please respect copyright.PENANALPoZTtdZzf
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at724Please respect copyright.PENANAoLOvbhn0gL
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.724Please respect copyright.PENANApCYYDdpNVL
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."724Please respect copyright.PENANAX9BuhP9WkK
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.724Please respect copyright.PENANATCtX1ZXJIa
"I don't know. I don't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAthrw8wxWxP
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.724Please respect copyright.PENANAbGZbd3vnoU
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."724Please respect copyright.PENANAabzviFVCy5
"How did the diamonds go missing?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAHGyxSJFsMc
"How am I supposed to 724Please respect copyright.PENANAiyTxoQJqFQ
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without724Please respect copyright.PENANADTdRZGZDop
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."724Please respect copyright.PENANAFQtJUOFYem
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."724Please respect copyright.PENANAjBYwGe2dTj
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."724Please respect copyright.PENANA7PsONkpRmK
Jehan rubbed his 724Please respect copyright.PENANALmmH2oFV9I
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 724Please respect copyright.PENANApb0DFDxcT0
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.724Please respect copyright.PENANAc4M738gfhh
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."724Please respect copyright.PENANAkTScUMS9O9
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."724Please respect copyright.PENANAowizRGrSjf
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"724Please respect copyright.PENANApWqgKqMtaM
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."724Please respect copyright.PENANAY2fy9YcLOc
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAEWeKimKF0j
"I don't know."724Please respect copyright.PENANA5exv5r8m7j
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAr9btv8hlbJ
"Ummm," I looked down 724Please respect copyright.PENANATncEuPnyB8
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 724Please respect copyright.PENANADkB3J215tU
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."724Please respect copyright.PENANAmsrLKRO8Gd
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAxdMXOxUsTi
"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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAbXc2jEEBg5
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.724Please respect copyright.PENANAd0uyBYNg4q
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."724Please respect copyright.PENANAVpwaoyACX6
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 724Please respect copyright.PENANAudjVnCn0aw
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 724Please respect copyright.PENANAxV7I3jG0kv
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAkCfTL46xar
"I don't think so. Lee 724Please respect copyright.PENANAKmXrJGT0Ga
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,724Please respect copyright.PENANALQUpM5w6YU
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."724Please respect copyright.PENANAhnNorZHKND
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAGQtzT4UGCX
"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."724Please respect copyright.PENANABD5KCcieR9
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAvk4kVIoQ7W
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."724Please respect copyright.PENANAmm1VJcg34d
After I said that, Jehan724Please respect copyright.PENANA6NwqcPjXbu
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 724Please respect copyright.PENANAcQTbbSlNFa
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the724Please respect copyright.PENANAM86LjVLkTz
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 724Please respect copyright.PENANAgyLNbzOt5v
look on his face.724Please respect copyright.PENANA07zJA4TXJU
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."724Please respect copyright.PENANAX7SxkbGluh
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAermOB26NVi
"I remember one of my 724Please respect copyright.PENANAmUWsCjxBsV
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAhImpCe7IEX
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."724Please respect copyright.PENANA1HmEpA2vkA
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"724Please respect copyright.PENANAEQGqtjCEKy
"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!"724Please respect copyright.PENANAVoAkvOIOeH
"Huh? I can't start 724Please respect copyright.PENANAGuAukrpPSu
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking724Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6Vcucywkr
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 724Please respect copyright.PENANAquuDebPHXF
that the bear is missing."724Please respect copyright.PENANA7JBNdf0y4d
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."724Please respect copyright.PENANAhCCeiwdqtU
"What do you mean?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAG2zuHPKFvR
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."724Please respect copyright.PENANAfNxiz3gai4
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."724Please respect copyright.PENANAAesBIFL0gK
"Now that, makes no 724Please respect copyright.PENANAsfFuuKkORb
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that724Please respect copyright.PENANAgRWKG0adgD
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."724Please respect copyright.PENANAgJNxCTMFmu
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"724Please respect copyright.PENANAsaj4bTcMi6
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."724Please respect copyright.PENANAYIHcx2Ll6q
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."724Please respect copyright.PENANA5ETaQG8ilV
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAOnkKSNkUiN
I completely forgot that724Please respect copyright.PENANAEWCts8bDGi
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 724Please respect copyright.PENANAH0rtiYjW0G
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have724Please respect copyright.PENANAUjQHTqdQ9V
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.724Please respect copyright.PENANApuW8tnIeK2
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."724Please respect copyright.PENANADRNFZe3b0J
Jehan gave me a smile. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAGM95z4BL9u
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 724Please respect copyright.PENANAE9Mhz8efGd
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA8Xsmllt4Qs
I nodded my head and 724Please respect copyright.PENANAv2TMjqa9Dy
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked724Please respect copyright.PENANAZcZl89I0WQ
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.724Please respect copyright.PENANAw4BUTl0YoN
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.724Please respect copyright.PENANAihoRNqEgXI
I sat there as I buried 724Please respect copyright.PENANAlyanuywHlI
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 724Please respect copyright.PENANAMwcDXFqjKI
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the724Please respect copyright.PENANADDr0E8GSCR
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 724Please respect copyright.PENANAd0OgpKQEZj
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 724Please respect copyright.PENANAbxPPWL8cOo
drama that might just ruin my life?724Please respect copyright.PENANAmE2uMj45Vn
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5FsrcKLhm
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.724Please respect copyright.PENANA1x4YVGmIZS
I could hear footsteps 724Please respect copyright.PENANAyFEbxIsES2
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 724Please respect copyright.PENANA5orI7x6rfn
when they saw the look on my face.724Please respect copyright.PENANA1Bn7rCQcfG
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.724Please respect copyright.PENANANc4tO5kSE2
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA6gyV7etrZz
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA7JMQPvKPBe
"No," I answered. "He didn't."724Please respect copyright.PENANAQnooXwWdMC
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA7SXnX8Pd0C
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."724Please respect copyright.PENANAoGkt5pCgn2
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."724Please respect copyright.PENANAHDHIrDxN69
"And what about Lee?" 724Please respect copyright.PENANALLqTUwKUok
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 724Please respect copyright.PENANAhq4Ndg3m3W
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 724Please respect copyright.PENANAzyPrIeEUjg
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 724Please respect copyright.PENANAkVCNtpC1Pa
to."724Please respect copyright.PENANAwM1pTBe0IZ
"This is bad," I said, 724Please respect copyright.PENANAvE1E1gP6oN
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 724Please respect copyright.PENANAdsiH6FXyzf
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."724Please respect copyright.PENANAxbkwmhdF4a
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."724Please respect copyright.PENANAmAga7h8rOk
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.724Please respect copyright.PENANAKFoDkKj1B6
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.724Please respect copyright.PENANA2IcxBhpNqk
"Sam?" I wondered for a 724Please respect copyright.PENANAajkz7sZgi3
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 724Please respect copyright.PENANAg2i7nevbKI
she have swapped it with the other one?"724Please respect copyright.PENANA9AsotejdAo
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 724Please respect copyright.PENANA9MSgM3iOps
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 724Please respect copyright.PENANApIYGlPaGF4
what's really going on in the first place?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAPI92T5F3nV
"I doubt it," I said 724Please respect copyright.PENANAGQrBUhX0VW
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 724Please respect copyright.PENANAP0jtw7BSeL
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would724Please respect copyright.PENANAMOumZvffpa
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."724Please respect copyright.PENANALTMIW7A9Yw
TOP and Seungri looked 724Please respect copyright.PENANAC57WNG74pL
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 724Please respect copyright.PENANAdNjBmla83D
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed724Please respect copyright.PENANAmHwz2OvYLi
it away.724Please respect copyright.PENANA5URzd0rS7d
"I highly doubt it too,"724Please respect copyright.PENANA0fr0Na4GFD
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 724Please respect copyright.PENANAzAuc1ZtvCf
she would have asked us about it."724Please respect copyright.PENANAPE7RoebXX3
"That's true," said 724Please respect copyright.PENANA1GDIiIZ9Kh
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 724Please respect copyright.PENANAxTiFZlkKXp
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."724Please respect copyright.PENANAlXKt9GOMYm
"And I checked out the 724Please respect copyright.PENANAzrU9qIg6f6
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAZhpGDE7eju
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANAkvIodtaFWg
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.724Please respect copyright.PENANAAg8ozx61bI
"No, I highly doubt it,"724Please respect copyright.PENANADtT28QFIJx
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 724Please respect copyright.PENANAMdIMfauhDj
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They724Please respect copyright.PENANATOGxHWFpOk
said nothing about them entering a toy store."724Please respect copyright.PENANAXZaOoOB5MR
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.724Please respect copyright.PENANAnw7B6fO5kK
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAr75Ty5M0qv
"Collins?" Mike asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAGP6EobCeh4
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"724Please respect copyright.PENANATDC3cDGHLx
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."724Please respect copyright.PENANATyRP8l3bQi
"But who knows? Maybe he724Please respect copyright.PENANArWh5fDi0oZ
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 724Please respect copyright.PENANAGGrQSK6kYK
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 724Please respect copyright.PENANAiUX9RjkPhB
times."724Please respect copyright.PENANAoBFhOtXzRx
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.724Please respect copyright.PENANA4qbp1PKvda
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."724Please respect copyright.PENANAXMJFqd9rId
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAAj4W5pbJ1t
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."724Please respect copyright.PENANAGeAGoynlO9
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAf0lnDMBG58
"He was the one who went724Please respect copyright.PENANAkeo06Vm7zE
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 724Please respect copyright.PENANAcIq2MK7fYm
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 724Please respect copyright.PENANAnSiqgWLkdi
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 724Please respect copyright.PENANAPEAWgih2Q6
elevator."724Please respect copyright.PENANAhEAHO45dXJ
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.724Please respect copyright.PENANAzsYTfZt69d
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."724Please respect copyright.PENANAmWifGpS6gE
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.724Please respect copyright.PENANAKn0i7OPbvE
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."724Please respect copyright.PENANAwu4MCn5GeP
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."724Please respect copyright.PENANAGJsmmHI0sZ
"You're right," I said 724Please respect copyright.PENANAQjbDibtSlQ
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 724Please respect copyright.PENANAsM05zfp8EG
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."724Please respect copyright.PENANADK9UAB9sW8
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.724Please respect copyright.PENANAWeSYtKQ0xZ
We all walked out of the724Please respect copyright.PENANAgE0DLEGBLJ
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 724Please respect copyright.PENANA4z7nejxBjp
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.724Please respect copyright.PENANAhFfsxuF0CL
While I was in the car 724Please respect copyright.PENANAYBjlu5tiQQ
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so724Please respect copyright.PENANAOdpCYhyOto
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins724Please respect copyright.PENANA68Cec8uFzK
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 724Please respect copyright.PENANAUiNexLShHI
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 724Please respect copyright.PENANAstRMMoZGr5
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.724Please respect copyright.PENANABoNeW493Pw
If it isn't him, then 724Please respect copyright.PENANAKSPUfJcoeV
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 724Please respect copyright.PENANAMYOLmSaerm
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 724Please respect copyright.PENANAmkIMbaDsBm
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her724Please respect copyright.PENANA4zwyH7jUdM
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.724Please respect copyright.PENANAnVeQH2NUdG
What if I had the wrong 724Please respect copyright.PENANA2lNXR4FA9C
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 724Please respect copyright.PENANAJE0C8VmVFz
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 724Please respect copyright.PENANAhMqFAG7zR5
place without any of us noticing in the first place?724Please respect copyright.PENANA0JZhNzk9oe
I hope I could be able 724Please respect copyright.PENANA8ByHUQf0jm
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 724Please respect copyright.PENANAhFa00APuPi
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that724Please respect copyright.PENANAuXwPZyrlQY
happen.
