My watch said 10:31 and I hissed in frustration. I was getting really impatient and I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed4IuNOL9i
I had never been this 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn6wvkzVUo
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7qeqqxZl6
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kPwVZmZLb
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpS28IVxIq
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzdOJ758EI
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjNOP5eIwU
"Sam!"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWUSHK3ISG
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPTHvXRYvw
Zoey came out of the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41AR7Rd54m
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBM5ICNlDF
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiAK8dD4rB
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX0VqFbp7r
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx6hkcG1Fc
"You've been searching for it all morning," I said as I stood up. "Can we please just go to the studio? We're already late."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZJdxfAZsQ
"No, let me go and check again," Zoey turned around to head back to the room and I groaned so loudly to grab her attention.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFnqeJn2DZ
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO847ViSzF
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbsaWVihvZ
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs1dn734q1
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpYMVIfsm6
I ignored her and said, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoytxeQHWVg
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt9P6hzWPT
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSBuZmVcfE
"What time is it?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lZw6zLHck
"10:35."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RrFv4BJNX
"Wow, time really passes by."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m6Ward6nc
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqt3DeZHBH
"Let me go get my phone."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDLBggN3mR
Zoey rushed back to the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL3ULztjPR
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv21HYuKeXA
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd8Cx9vb6W
that was Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3IxvgDYoe
I soon received a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPPW4FVIRU
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBROct73plf
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ6CzIIYiJ
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNNDr1stQY
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQitXnW12Np
"I'm coming."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp0PiqFMnS
I started heading 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw1HIflqCX
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qHheLgS9s
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhMfztScQw
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV80qcRJ5f
number. A number coming from another country.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjSgt9ep36
"Oh, who is this?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQbiIZ8PgI
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIrtm4QnfL
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmd20aGxIG
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxavUsbQy1i
"Come on, we're already late."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl7Y0x2HMN
We went into the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRCvGaN7zn
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RUbqYiQMo
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksFJAsqbeY
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKicooveEt
When we got to YG, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb02uxBnFor
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wlpoft7fY
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVKtBlB6Ch
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvwfVmpvQd
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuju5TxXPa
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK2VVsxlYX
Zoey held her earlobes 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiZGwuwmiQ
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2lbZ2XIK4
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZcMeS7hSH
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLGN7rXwCe
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tn91VyKsb
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymtDRfTPT4
"Remind me whenever you're deciding who sings which part of a song to let me be there," said Collins as he turned to look at me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcbpaN4JfM
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S2ndcoH1p
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cKoSDqd6a
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5hBcJr63N
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P6SsOAtRw
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH2a6fySEo
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVw2FLd74G
"Then let's do so," said968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQpzg4x9g7
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDMvXbZSlC
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS1Nldgequ
I had completely forgot 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbmN4PJZmd
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalZHxDKFll
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8r7MonaUy
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiuUAQyI9i
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK7pzaOywa
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjp78Uq37n
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUTxYvRnWW
In the live room, there 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6hqyzhe8C
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToEHHpeSuA
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8H0Oajtbi
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwKUG6sg0T
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RcYAuwJQx
I looked at the others 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWRchgIzIV
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUtKaDRQOG
producer started to play the tune for the song.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrHAFjgrQa
G-Dragon started to sing968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZGhJQ4ond
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH65Wbshnzh
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQymUqMRpi8
to let them sing the first verse together.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN6ZuIIlYY
Collins, the music 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJvktmWD02
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7v6RlnLBQ
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWnjKTYcMs
Christine then sang the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSHZ8seMAH
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2a8wTobj3
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx7OVsERCi
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafyKAqRnZ9
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NNCTUM5rQ
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJKI1TuYcS
I smiled at Taeyang who stood beside me and I nudged him on the shoulder. "Stop it, Tae," I said. "Don't make me blush."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSf4BajLpy
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ohN9cwE0s
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIGRehZxhr
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmDApWTCMt
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK86EVZGyW
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmMXanzqUi
"You may," said Collins,968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHAYCg8O38
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyFfsnno5S
You have to work on the backup vocals."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlvAhdSRFy
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZqzo5K6yu
If I hadn't known 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ir70sLE1k
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKlJuCzjAj
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLS7MggZOx
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoAI1qsCgB
hollow inside.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjfDLV3tCR
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKDz6yi6PE
We continued recording 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorYtBFsqKY
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJihwyiISBZ
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdVxkCbP30
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA3wJSmzIK
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47oImmn5UZ
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjANPfAWPz2
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVew9Jqu4Co
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1bvO5BAB3
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24U3femGXd
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcUBLahUZ6
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTWRk5rVGa
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIobzib2Zw
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wJkTCSGgw
"But be back within an hour."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66Iah6UAw9
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sVu42Ca9X
"Fine, an hour and a half."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvE4w0M8ar
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAazbljQyQv
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTx8VJjSJb
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZjhM1p0TJ
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95707mVdBs
"That, my friend," said 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWIK7iQrmV
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Uj0py8qM
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwYkl7X8Qs
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVbI5aK1OT
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHYhQtTQdU
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaNtG5jrah
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaEHGHzebu
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG6L6FU9Wt
"Whenever you want us to968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPrDDwuVpo
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZW8WuzX8k
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPyErb3zFO
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhdjxUzvhM
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLSQ0zS7bR
"Huh," I thought of all 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbUoYB4gVI
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FXwE9MIa3
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwCPvUYb1g
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqi45dHhk0
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhW4slgy5t
"Come on, Sam," said 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa5rjkbovt
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBg3dFngqO
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtpdPK5N3s
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kxKQFmQdG
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tnTVXIcqb
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym2yhH4QZD
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdGkm2j1xS
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzhDR1xRwb
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iyn6JQos2
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLogisL8DzD
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8GjyCE6zu
"They aren't here," I said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRnXyFX0BJ
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0BtXGYcWe
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTb1IfmZ2E
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi67P8hyiS
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeAlz19oZv
I nodded my head and we 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTgdN35Xru
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhNZrzbpb2
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmAKCH7tBc
We were in the lobby and968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BuuTD2wZv
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xIZOSEYii
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDWwcVHTuT
morning.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74tESlZXIR
I first sent Zoey a text968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLlShdLzgO
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxK8mFdlOc
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJljCqBlTj
"Hey, what are you looking at?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhMKKz0xHj
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmjRYMsO3f
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38poyCxxZW
"Okay, shall we go?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu3kczfzzt
"Ya, sure." I put the phone back in my pocket and I wrapped my arm around his elbow and we walked out of the building.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tlmp6izm5
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBqRqdFmvx
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWo9l1mMKq
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQLhBQE3h1
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoalwKt7BVR
Instead of using any one968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbsxDjqZm4
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgrKmuOQHU
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc4MYG6pC4
attention, especially from the customers.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe5hK1J6Fz
I had to admit, the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPaBN7nTv9
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaphIsSRKkH
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8bMBVRHYz
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATpZc4mT3i
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMG2euNEr5
A smartly dressed 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQenh9SJZO
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3otrugWRl
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLotijBJw1
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5EfvTdjWq
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvBOVNKHS4
We were escorted to a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRRzGeBpC4
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy9ykkIiQ5
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklBziQBfS8
TOP pulled a chair for 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0kbvLUZq5
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqlNQAVfhM
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka5BtsHTmF
beside her.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu2K0iq8jQ
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcUbJbIc8y
"Tell me about it," said Christine.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoDyQGxIRW
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpMK9Qnv9k
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpccikGABU
"So, let's order," said Daesung.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFM7uzZnVb
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRBaECrMeb
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7XMR4RzSu
As we were having our 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7GpURiAgU
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSjsPgy5Bb
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMCRk9reCQ
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc2RvxGuW7
having fun wherever they were.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkfmJT5lY8
While I was having my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CIdWqteyv
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqyZ8Vosg0
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwwqUN5Boy
unknown number had sent me a message again.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BWWsfkUaF
I tapped on the message 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEF7nUabML
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs4gZaarQg
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H7QPgNX9d
the next message was more surprising.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULZoRQD5Pv
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TTVPLzk5A
Anything about what was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGilODCqHH
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaBVjoaub1
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3sMQuTFT6
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDKTaej8xP
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFy8qqilcB
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEi5482tAT
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rkj0mqeeO
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoPfyVu6dX
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIpV9uSxSG
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHjUEFPDY6
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75S7DDwLWt
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInpNJUCNuI
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w7BNxNGqf
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmx9lTlihW
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe2a5e5A7a
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSRpTJHsgw
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtX2uLZFye
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRTWzaStvy
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyeKcQifmG
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fe62ty7Xj
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77EOk4khU4
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMF4j6maip
"Can we please stop 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBazUwtqeaY
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ5ij3BfYo
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLrvCZGisB
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8PgT3Ukrv
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVouyVZ3vWM
"No, let me," said 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxKKesnakf
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JNntXzMPW
allow her to say what she wanted to say.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO18Pzy4Yc4
I shook my head at Christine and she leaned back on her seat with a groan. Daniel smiled when I nodded my head to let him go on.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck6xSDKIrE
"Because, Collins gave 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpzJOILpZe
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPczROwZmJ
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DdwO6xEUb
Never."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5q8wwhxMa
There was silence on the968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaqfyCEEhu
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkot7dAuex
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h1yCEDOLS
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wumBFGYHl
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWaKG4Thf6
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1jDvDxrA5
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5guy2WNKmN
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaWC1Bsa5x
"It's serious to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqxvFwjq2c
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC4s3naDIR
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFFGsiUbiS
babies."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRbyGpk06W
That was odd coming out 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lxmNKLFsX
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SaSM4YgSA
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2NvKTZEo1
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1V15VWZ5N
laps.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDLGkgPYJS
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSqGNawtjQ
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNniiQQuQ9
I really did. Something 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ud2lxIlbi
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMozU2m0r2
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kG8pOSFX5
"Excuse me, I'll need to use the rest room," I said as I drew back my chair, stood up and headed straight for the ladies' room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylakaA88Zg
I quickly closed the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxG3vWHhrd
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHJVDMTF38
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFP6bHgu22
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKTPDCt7Vu
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXkQzW52pI
I shook my head and I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0DeWMmfDp
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRmvDnSojs
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4PmnLgiWA
supposed to care. But I did.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoCabTi8dR
I looked at myself and I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfq7VhbFhd
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uJswtxD4s
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk05Bi29iGd
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8aGRtG1Cn
things and focus on what's really important.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fBN8PPRWC
I quickly took a deep breath to try and pull myself together. I rinsed my hands, left the room and went back to our table.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahV5XZtZuk
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwUsUklPKN
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZfLS2iD5a
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZHeoPEgKS
I gulped. What had these968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa2XVf3T0p
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxLL41OC2S
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTccberHLnh
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvoq8JIwbc
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslbJsc6xRz
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknxCWPsnrm
"And I have been a good girl on my part," said Christine making an invisible drawing of a halo above her head with her finger.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIdU1lUJPk
While Christine was one 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNDQlFH8qV
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrqigwkUCu
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOigabGne1
worse.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ThI7xVoW
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9D5DYDe8D
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2Fzl9bTNl
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURdpWZgGHQ
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM0j4WbN1v
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNlZqxI5Gv
I blushed. "Mike!"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJpqQS3PPW
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg30TcMO2xi
"I've tried kissing 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1XFIYd9SU
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dsO0HSVtO
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVCqntF6eH
"Uhh, if I were you, I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzjDUtXLZa
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoyHXUOGCu
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpgpdOLyol
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpYZ2iAatT
regretting it."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgbK4E9y3g
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWlRPsmPt3
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzDRe5gLp5
"Fine, I'll listen to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtYzyf2tPE
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCTqnr9TH2
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUl70YJXvS
blushed.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9WGWlAa11
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WbwERaDU2
He was right. We only had a few minutes to get to YG. And Collins was one person who's strict when it comes to time.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfvrqZXoiD
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QyoQ45Uoh
We got to YG just in 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D09qKcaG8
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUYyfGb4ar
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMdQVWhbp6
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgdGaZHnkC
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJYLd2L9ne
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt0NVd8tgb
I couldn't help but feel968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMbzY1oNwW
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqYFniPbRV
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT6Fnv5bpm
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdoccqlpfW
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUaZrKodmL
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43vw0onysx
I felt something inside 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQqy1e5pSi
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6NCTFPmv0
couldn't believe what I was hearing.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qPJLKlBg7
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7csYbGUei
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdGr79LetW
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX22yyFXlak
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGZ52j2EHD
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX2RWWQGTB
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjslhTxrfMQ
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNblZdJAhS
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVezTuNzty
"Then?" TOP asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvBAlHXVXn
"I don't know, I went over to get some ice cream for the both of us, and the next thing I know she was gone."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZX5ws2AyM
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7XpHk84N8
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9oG9LO0yy
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZHBy9bhVO
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1T0uLgZIN
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidDPD8Z80q
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZq18ukm1s
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghfwcbDj07
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXMy8qK9ox
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHyCHwWDiU
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUVKoGovkd
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgDwNwmD6F
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8db4W84im
I couldn't help but 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1iHWSegRL
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K9cBcNjiD
not telling us what was really going on?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZVueZmvTC
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTNf49eiwK
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDGhh60eVo
"We've to look for her," said TOP.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXa5KSwOli
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmmUm13s9l
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoeSCOaHXV
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZhmolLOsY
"Did someone say my name?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcwL6aXbBw
I cringed. He was one 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoiaSkNyCh
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecHGenPiCE
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oC6oLQ4CF
the music producer.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu4S6vmp8v
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNHTHD3owv
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzk0Xc953U
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS1YLZMpGz
"Looks like you aren't 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Z0uZgb7a
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz1X7p4WRI
away from us and heading towards the console.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dHiWxdPvM
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0GVj1I5ym
I looked at the others 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KnF7tgmvM
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8zRCTMp3c
something or else we would be toast.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwMnI7959q
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8M8IBnSVn
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9t7GVgqLz
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTC5C287d0
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsQKnw2tz2
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFNYpqCps1
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn97pe6XGw
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUAzEJy4oV
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP8sN2BEdr
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EyFW9JsIn
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQORxuB3JUA
Please say yes. I was praying in my heart that Collins would agree. This time I wasn't relying on my eye to do anything.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJnKVankEa
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxTN6AnrmH
Mike and Daniel almost 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRJIMIYJ4a
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglVikZ4vQl
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbv2M69Ppw
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63lbhMJGvn
"That's fine," said Taeyang.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3YbCYuhhN
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC6Z78Uxng
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekRHnQRHRD
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3G0cWyvdJ
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpBvJ6kMDR
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28qevnluGF
Christine was doing the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ms5AaGMzU
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6VBsNuWV4
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal6vdZ7rEl
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQx4DQYuFP
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBhWccIoHo
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLzLq7RiZ7
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PJcPLDGGW
I wanted to ask where, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymlhBnSPTn
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTIEdZ4LHb
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiUFcpcgf3
music producer soon left.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFqL8w8pK2
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvFx8s1B2f
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VgLQr1npq
"Ya, we should," I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIYoX1KMAb
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWc2d4y2Lf
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLwlI9nfpn
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0CvTnHNXe
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifuLpIgjC4
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtOCBBK1Ue
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcK8nGkFec
As soon as we left the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFFEhRnH1B
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuiqVQNurO
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerCFlEa3Gw
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4Qu86lqmO
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZonESSfK40
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeatoql4R7
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKrNIuYfTy
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNa0cYyiVg
G-Dragon drove away and 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF66K0j7A5F
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjw896cbhi
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaEt0gB7fM
"Did you two have some sort of argument?" I asked when we both got out of the car and I went round it to face him.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyFmlAGvEY
"What?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cNuuQiPCl
"Did you two argue?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSizj9V9OQj
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkInsFTkgV5
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZobjndFJHz
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupbTJRcXOg
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lPMyAKy7y
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wRt5C4XhG
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsLMVfDERS
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgkIo9FIzh
With quick strides, I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1nrG9Ycum
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhgnJR9bla
could look at him directly in his face.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CzB2yqpl5
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawbdCRwkaS
"I want you to tell me the truth."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNz14y22e8
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiKgUexA3d
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMtwiVA7mS
G-Dragon chuckled and 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsAjs8gfuS
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9BfsVwhlm
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGCadULd3E
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lmM2NPuw6
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRruFq7B48
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPMqGYM323
"And how do you know?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj2RURrjlL
"I'm her best friend. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm67mxHWTJA
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6UEOy1F9z
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YtsUScg9L
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPjXiUbzpE
"Zoey can't end her 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC9e6a6RL3
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInLD8XK4X1
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLlLBgBgKN
you did something."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB137UQClD
"Me?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKPn0AvaTL
"Da! Yes, you!"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4CLzMOD8H
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwpPEG3FZp
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kJdyqX5ia
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XGAygg8sa
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRNFOfJJay
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX45bOmx83a
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRWUZw7lfp
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOlJ7zHmjY
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ge8a2eKnu
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94QcxHhKlE
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiIX2rp03t
"Ya. Sure."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAywasYGZo3
"Now, will you please 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwcTQIeyk9
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrCCwea8Y1
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASrsZ2JgJb
interview."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP4HVFoO7I
I didn't say anything, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJiznxp6S1
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXBl0RnZP5
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Ce3NhLJZ
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkw4kKex8w
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxSgD7JvKn
but nothing.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oVnCs9f6F
We were already half way into the park and still no sign of Zoey. We were by the lake and I sat down on the grass by the banks.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvjIPJLOJF
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlevhAOV6P7
"I'm not," I said as I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxbZfCBWZK
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRxiEsdRiy
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QOBxs4mZ7
G-Dragon sat down beside968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEOicBooce
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskBJLn7BE5
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesla7K00yz
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9kvdvmbyp
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDuqOmSfkg
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOCWPCwsbt
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzgqzJXzZv
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb4x16GGMh
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXWDgxAbI8
"You love nature, don't you?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP9LKCZQoc
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25kDBKzU6C
At that moment, I was so968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Qj2ig4UZ
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGRUU3xJzU
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozWOWsna2N
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTVzCGqG4a
even the noise around me seemed non existent.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXF3R8cofC
Then I felt something 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhooZturFnk
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn6MWxLTrg
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxfoIrJXvx
was staring at me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDrXabrfOz
"What?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8u5zUikR9
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3Jm169EoN
I blushed all of the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHIS0bOW2U
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ094pgdgl6n
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoInVS2wytb
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cGnFx3Dan
I would have said yes to968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa0WCGcnQ3
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2gbPTVa9U
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0E4E7YUcp
were never meant to be.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSGF7DIvZ2
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQpTXxGIje
"Why?" He asked softly.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU2q8njXCQ
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEzOWThgSy
"What do you mean?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cFckVSiZ0
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIXKgmNM2V
"So?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvmOWjDCSf
"I want you to stay far away from me as possible. The further we are apart, the better it is for the both of us."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ko1RPq1Et
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTRqUCZkHb
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSwkSVJsoB
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0ksOHNtKn
"I know."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafoMU31lEq
"Then why are you doing this?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCXgGFhSvZ
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE00oYMyOG
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuTuQBVQ3S
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYnVEvNAqK
"You should find another968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf8ehGpOaI
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikCAlcZvTT
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RF8mMS1LN
will never forgive myself."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3FaC0LqUo
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHBn2qBe9b
I wanted to smile but I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE86Fwy9z4o
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaRWYXcX1X
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHKjEAsHxt
like we had beef with each other.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2YomF4lmj
Just as I was about to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmEeZs1uG3
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfTxhFP9sh
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59TBFI00jI
from his pocket and answered it.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXlbyKACUP
"Hello? Christine?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcaip39haZ
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ylgIPhad
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVhlVwKZ88
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aznfynJwE
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmnqXtjElw
"Where is she?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjMIC6lkry
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12R40CjEAw
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnoZa5vVIu
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6eVefOYlg
"Who is she with?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Tzy1MieY
"We're about to find out. Let's go."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjViho0oKXG
G-Dragon got up from the968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP70zdDfvgE
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHztI7DSQ7
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp00zJL0eI
When we got in his car, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfRXPA9R8N
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC17owzBSc
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKiunHBxpz
looked across towards the café.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZRx7kbv1G
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL2ebdHoQK
Through the huge window,968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dbm5MsT1V
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX32qbCT8G
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr98NHpaLBH
day in the afternoon.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj7gpbIYAx
I searched for Zoey, but968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLbLlVnXCN
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne9sAIlJjv
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM7wKVGWzz
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6mHHa9z8L
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw0sGMPiTW
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsYxyCqcIx
"Who is it?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShGlUHy6fg
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwSMD0jFpZ
"Seriously?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJXkGg8GkP
"You think I'm kidding?" I turned to look at him. "Or are you now jealous that Zoey is hanging out with someone who isn't you?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFZl44iCR5
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZLowOvTBh
I rolled my eyes and 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4egEA69bZd
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO24Y2UMzHp
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwLC0C2RiG
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3guCLpQyo
She was sipping her cup 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJAtY9WqpO
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoHy66DJiO
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqseRR6DOA
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCQ5BSzswe
"Ya."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhGOr2sowB
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjt8HyDD3V
Zoey's smile made me 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpgkbtD1Ug
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2wRVqbywT
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nam9X2eHV
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwyyBt7G32
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAX9uIw6GR
I felt a threat coming 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAvr9jrKEn
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKaY4xZH0G
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGWcRkyOoz
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ68tla62Hu
going on in there.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBLY7ciR93
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3iW0HNCBn
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1oWERV8vv
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN6e4VMHHi
Just as G-Dragon came 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKttOvKhC8h
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYJw4h4H9z
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDTvJxyTec
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9eXDyvi2L
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGxZyADEKu
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvEKBmU8iU
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvrVdO8ktp
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4FVjCe0Bw
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVfiAablP9
I didn't answer him as I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdNsYLoRyz
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce7MqToRh8
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ773ZYsxQQP
managed to reach the café without getting hit.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLTdM7dNSz
When I got to the café, a968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wjSp484FS
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk55FwjEtT
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB7BNoUXCD
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zxEODRqAa
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH7JPK9eXC
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwJWO0co1h
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEwiM6Ebxq
"Don't you dare try to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jXAFji8HO
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThjSP0Txwj
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhcD2T1Pug
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9sZdGKw7f
"Christine told you where I was?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PIY4tUIlo
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGyxPGFukJ
I heard the bell of the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4XGqenfJR
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSrJwegkzD
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUTkpyz2mH
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSl2jUzU00
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99cknPgsUA
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVUG9ile5j
"Stop taking all this 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQpOZWZwWc
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN7WlNPbC2
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRFalgfGFE
The smile on Zoey's face968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEBR4ck3fw
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs8zPXHfNz
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMsT3A3KQR
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUSf6jnXZX
ourselves.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPn1TnbPSI
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuN2UkOnR7
"You're right," I said 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnlQCQrh5B
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebgPJV2FuR
attracting so much attention sometimes.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImUCF6tWTZ
The others had started 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPQIFHIRny
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutecSVwdzs
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeZlsHOgCO
about who he was.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQx0AwnEwu
After we left the café, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQBO5lSwkE
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuri9WeAQXu
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssm9naGYI2
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaApTSCQXCN
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FxTeoAsAX
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZqA5FebfE
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEL7l6l5ir
Zoey and I went in 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUHOfK9lIQ
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JQzBgoEGv
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtuyE09l8l
We were all back in the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNlp4Lb0U5
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32iEnnO4L7
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvIWRtYkKz
We gathered ourselves in968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2hSKIQOLs
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL9Y79udnm
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8AaWdUsgc
hands on my hips.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSqjzf6fUd
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJknjgD6rnk
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCXS5eF2d7
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LsBEtuEe4
"Fine, I tell you," said968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBARt3yPKy
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlbVmncvvM
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWR5d9aCul
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBKs6oEJhI
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvg3TLu9QJ
"No, I don't mind," said968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu24qoEVErx
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs2F5mQXRk
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDijK91aE9
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzOaRwBTxQ
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpJN1DvPSt
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSYlU4dDwS
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqgQHAo8SE
"As much as that sounds 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjXEaUhFn0
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxeYYurBIE
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CMe4zX99X
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbW9YskTZM
I started to tap my foot968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXP6TBuDni
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQJ8YZO4sm
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUcpkhk0Fj
truth.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPA4IwGt85
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHGMcRZlK5
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TbDN84rPW
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdsg050Hvn
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaRETCo5Y2
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0z8oraswe
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2exHi5s4nl
"Okay, okay, eish," said968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnsOh92lE2
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdChyDfPgKw
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVILcbqzDFW
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnV6Ke7QFZ
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BtmpTi4lZ
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v8dIiD0Zu
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoiwluBPPf
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdUTgJCL6w
Zoey was quiet and I still felt that she wasn't telling us the whole truth. I decided to play along and not say a word.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJXzHBLJcT
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0StBiuBA5g
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM0B7MSvgv
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdvHWloZXj
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNgFeM9PZl
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0fLaEep0v
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK67oIzlQG
"Are you sure?" Daniel 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVQnAxbqUy
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujlCAN6GDf
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54z4R8Tk7l
haters or even us."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfenCCcbFY
Daniel was right. Zoey 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKKlXWwQs2
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKFhguvPwz
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65VlLIyNBN
telling the truth.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOSqM6oDjH
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51KOhhTLMg
"A very nice guy that 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87lldzhySj
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvvX0igsY6
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyxScAQT5J
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vp4Y99Rha
I didn't want to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9znSUAmdw6
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zPEp8VvfG
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkGavAnovI
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxttOcvctg
"And not dead," said 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76fPFSJnIo
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj7L8Oht4C
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUKRWO8GYW
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2KSfN1J88
"And you better get 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfAMwrR7VN
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CCx1ebcNa
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHuzQaFyak
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZDxeFsddm
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jx4AtrZSH
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS3FaajNvM
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ej8Dqb21x
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TnEl67eAE
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaecGli9G6B
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz7wnejrYO
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorcREb2X0L
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NzjA7iepN
One by one the BigBang 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvBAEzjEIf
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGKu5qeubv
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb30BT8Y85
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4h0lY4I6T
When I went in my room, I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuM6uhfaWw
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKsrNqRBGH
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiD59IoYzQ
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeozyVCN29Z
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzEMObhpnH
"About what?" I turned to look at her.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbINThfKte
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnruNI6qNli
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFjMDm00Nx
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1qJUT6HcT
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykTV0GvWaW
"Did you see the man's face?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuIG358ARc
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK3SVlN0bB
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIWGwg7QWX
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar3ZqmmCn4
"I bet he is good 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtduIXsdXaq
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ754qSgDmvp
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOLVv6LlG2
told her to?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH3uBNXceI
"Well, I believe her on that part. I'm just wondering how he managed to convince her to come with him. Maybe he threatened her?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm80jjyB0I5
Christine's jaw dropped. "Don't say that. I know there is no any other logical explanation, but I think that's way too far."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQhhLc4fms
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFu3pbiFg9
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hr85abchi
"That we have to find out."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLVDs6GTH3
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs31P8XFzQ
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsdvd6iUpu
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pWwBaUd9T
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXICsmPtzY
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WohzPsJBT
Oh my. Had he told her 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbko0IX1bYc
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvJsQz5oVf
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn7B2tPChF
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkqduJIfON
"What did you talk about?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH37QYrxy7j
"He was just pissed that968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3FV8zKCbt
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbhb210gnP
that might have upset me or something."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn5NTn25mr
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAi4vrwip9
"But he didn't."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpue0JsPJQ8
"I see why Sam asked," 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNz8b4fWJX
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDRE62JA6R
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnoAytKY26
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGcmrsJrgn
And I hope it will never968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH5XFSONCH
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXS0UxbzWf
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOKcuQ62kE
was yet to come at any moment.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYMfbMqYrw
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7asBQNAV9
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeLW4LM3xT
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBCXwmAJYz
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGGqmym8Od
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl1Cl7yi77
Christine, Zoey and I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx6AfQoah2
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuYLCr64lI
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU9OQcQ5HU
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpCCUasLNz
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E6Cg1cxYd
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB6nXROWKm
"Yes, he is," said Lee 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO8NEIKL7l
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVzoddKUox
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQxFmt9XUs
well."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDiwlnLlvf
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU0C7nILYo
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7GHOPFCzG
"As I was saying," said Lee. "We were in the lobby when we received a package from the receptionist. Said it was for you guys."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm32ydx7PT3
"Us?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebz3qsVJRZ
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DM9NUyu50
Christine and I rushed 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T8LVnRSFA
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuUUsrIXrN
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PfQ1sZR1y
hand.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN4EWavvfo
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2Nt3egiD9
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgU9FGSBVt
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA1jtPR3sK
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KjZhgp8Wm
The package was wrapped in a brown wrapper and on top of it was a white envelope. It was directed to us just as Lee said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV4PEorneh
I took the letter and 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgLyJZU5ND
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPfzSoLOW6
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK76aI2jZT
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzNR5WQPL7
"That's it?" Mike asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFCHb3mXEg
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHO97WSaoH
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM0IPMsWZ6
"All that the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9co2zLvVuO
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGhnEjjwZT
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDOOTLqJbQ
My eyes went wide and my968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwY4DAYzOs
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iHLGB5ILu
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeC6JGIsFZ
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAo9ZYlS7v
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoIQbZwszU
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYsltKfEqu
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s44Cz1Gw9
We did know him all right. The man who had been with Zoey. But who really was this guy? And this package? What could be in it?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0uRkHuhRD
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bqiZoJa0B
Christine threw Daniel 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyo4rypK0u
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqKFLluxKn
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5WPaM5I64
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKJ9r9yb1n
person you barely even knew.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbE8uJxQfT
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM1BngoP44
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXPhxa7zp9
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnuSHRGJGb
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0AdIM4q0z
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hcSHYCt1v
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsXRyTmizB
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc06QBw36T
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehpdCpI9WV
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH4n5SLAq8
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFqx9qwmqr
"Okay, but take your 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwndGTdnnHN
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx1MN55VSb
last prayers before I leave this earth."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAFUwfbLcq
I rolled my eyes but I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUSWzzMJ8E
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDklnxcuv6x
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxoAKSVB7p
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyrm9Zw66R
The other three couldn't968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNjsAXvwye
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacpDIjuoJu
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8uhhGQG2D
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnH4mHfdf9
nothing happened.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteEaiulHAl
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ICbXHAvI
"What is it?" Christine asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZwQVnhqSR
I looked up at the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDhOIbAZOY
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGaM0URqi6
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT31sOF4kLA
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS91SbqBn6K
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE4662ktUs
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3Hy9swpGL
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3MPaXgq8I
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKNjTxBtPk
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxaYSgomJu
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9z8FNaDRq
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwQxUk5NhM
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRVTUKympO
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtqa16IqZR
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OZE35FfO1
It was then that Zoey 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQIgi9qPdY
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N2AWC08HM
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1HM8ad5nr
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJeXv1GoHM
stranger who she was with today that sent it.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKXvNp8mVO
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIeX2uvjbZ
"Zoey will tell you all about it," I said. "I believe this is yours." I gave the teddy bear to Zoey who held it in her hand.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RL4DFNVfk
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIorU6jItL
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6Jg2zCrvX
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6469ljK8sU
This time, they laughed 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFp03U4gbE
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdftIWqRoS
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DKKbp8mpV
