Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 21: At The Mall

Sunday was quiet and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zqXJ854fq
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uQ3V149yK
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZMw9op0GD
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzJC17LkOF
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt6f8JyNzc

Last night, Zoey moved 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIKcj8KoZK
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoyV9CgUw0
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYjRDHqbqh
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTeXLdlbl4
talk to her either.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSiM5lE26E

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdnXLH01Ae

It so happened that 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIQQ8OnNBA
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDZr9M5E6v
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu2kCyBrRz
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tZUX9LjAH
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAOegKuR1K
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHakJlD7Arm

Now, I was sitting 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ef6yayMX4
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBPz6CnRZS
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMaIPQR8ya
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRMW8EeY4i
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVrYaKJJ8r

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7WNVJ1vEj

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzJYBlY77V

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlCc697uVc

"You heard me," said Lee looking down on me, with an annoying look on her face. "Are you going to sit here the whole day?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpIwlqjE1E

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T6EFaV2M2

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixLK0er5C9

"Lee!" I whined, putting1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU6fivgjsF
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEzwqB2dxJ
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe159pN7m1I

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9smlKuhB5I

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKppQMYKhV

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhpunD9ySI

"Why? I want to stay here."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK76NP3EEDi

"I need to go and shop 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFy1gKW58m
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjcXdVFza7
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1yKtdz47w

"But watching YouTube 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBobUuVVNV
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BmdwGu5GN
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs3IRZsKm0

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw8TBOlbEG

"I think Lee is right, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fFfkKNnY9
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtzlbDtqpU
out on Sundays like you do back home."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyMHnYYqht

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuIzxUbPts

"I know you're a fan of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpOGBf07wX
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QSE7fA8qa
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy38GydDEV7

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt2TJFpkJn

"Well, that's what 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBj0d0ohwm
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkWdYdd6UH
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL8018EPjz

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaykr3C5LhW

"That's what we are 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jfAahWWCT
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbuYS2CCkl
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLSZgt1ZxE
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBulnoxSriD

Daniel's right. I had to1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IfkG2YXIQ
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUumKnW9hK
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Enzm6fqlO
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhl8j36Pfy

Unlike the others, Lee 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJCyAFaGEW
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJQGKlENyN
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5cAJagxDa
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ921shKnQXy
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLWPgTJraU
and Zoey together.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubiVf5Xziv

I really wanted to tell 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhdqVHh4HU
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPfnow1uT7
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGWzlvzvmB
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY77kzWmuI1
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzIuX3nFbW
When was I ever going to change?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYr9TQxvJq

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlVU5MOHth

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1OhqtBGOM

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvC2OmGubc

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQaxuLqKVN

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE5x24kVXK

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJweZt8G3T5
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKPhrOnLg7
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa1SOj6lvq
my room to get my shoes.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE16S1anc0e

After I wore my white 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g2CQz997B
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4tKNst9yz
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEsWGx4bJx
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3jJ0ymKR5
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkti6bwJzkk
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb6PZXrBbZ

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaoEX3qiaA

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn8KlnIIF6

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxanAYZ5MQ

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU5R42ghHZ

"We can go, now," I told her.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb4dI55Yki

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UzEgdXxMm

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOegCzLH33D

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLX91ASlOY

I smiled back at him. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieeA2GmxE5
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigykvD7KO2
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZjRLY3Gxb
guards in the other SUV.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ4rnLBa95

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvWxQZTqGC

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKP2DFy3dN

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m4eij5w3C

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rmki3Zel7

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fLLoNW3yh

"To the mall," Lee answered.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe0ZB2dWDm

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6EU0g2P94

"What's wrong with the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYJtX5iOIg
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBXAtdIRla
best plans just come out of the blue."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoykc3EwFpj

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcXPxLxyw4

"And waste the day away? No way."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ5TYaQzJH

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnrFC45Ap9

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcklM74qgN

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKUaHj7wjh

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1s7raVoqx

"No. Zoey might have 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnk9ClliZz
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyflxstXh2I
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4UiSgV2sK
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpedfKbCfm

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEONXF6UuEt

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk03abPULvJ

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4taDQr3tp

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5ZQbAlbOF

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOpL3i31O2

"I don't know what to do1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBreTu39cOn
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTVTi3NVhH
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnrEcy3Kei
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAB59kw55o
somehow."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIISrUMsPg

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuWcxGAPu4

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uSVGO4g3d

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GzfK9OKio

I folded my arms as I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Nj8RjOVd
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQLzMBx70X
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYWiU6aifR
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOKTtMeqcO
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrIGkhHW2T

We soon reached the mall1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnZADmwCNS
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtZ3A3Jqhn
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGw69fnI1c
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPAdBGfi6t
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G99DELrop
the bodyguards were around.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdihvuOCi0G

Lee and I first went 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1NnOdjryF
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHoz2IeOVY
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rm1oX5VPX
a while. I was having fun.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EcehAEhQR

And when it came to the fans, some were brave enough to go past the guards and come take photos with me and take autographs.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28p21ODLZN

Lee and I soon came out 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AaMiqY3Ce
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvH5lg5dwj
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3xL4pjlUs
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bwQTTJ3yk
our bags because we bought way too much.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXK0LErZSP

When we walked out of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy8mvVomVS
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuTMRuQDaE
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxPgagK2cy
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECY1EXUDGY
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcY540BaUr

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ENaehkqP4

I couldn't answer Lee. I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME6Dwo5rmW
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5lphvaDeS
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2t2WhJ6v1

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDh0hByO7d

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXY9E8YrQE

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OOHJp8SLG

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eQi2yuw9R

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsOjD0X40u

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuGZd5nf1N

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBZL4YZMXy

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52QTPo4iX2

I looked at each and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNaLjamzrQ
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSc0tJDj3a
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz6RnRXqCM

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gBUGic2Bs

"What?" Lee looked 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5hIIYj7V8
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIiKMCbeRm
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiPnGlG0Hl
panda."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO0v8Eyl4q

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGju7JfqPAI

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn17GCGXBX

"Derrick's brother sent 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BPEWoy12N
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi2EmhZYBE
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1CG1cL4OC
bear."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmjVxnaupG

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT6ZRGvOSD

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcusTp1YDwb

"I don't get it though."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ947DxwWnWV
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCwXPMsXlv
so concerned about that small teddy?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FYv1wwdLc

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeVJbiLUkC

***1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uDHnfLnTd

Zoey's P.O.V1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51q9MPWTN7

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33rIDSc4lE

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRrAr9T5Bc

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdsDI5jkMd

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGUQcFzR7S

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvEpej1wpI

"You moved out of the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsaVdYoaXH
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJiJP2FknM
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgDwJ5VQt2
of alien or something."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzwhgei8do

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DFc3Rupjh

In a quick flash, a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f10UB6a1w
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhDNzqGBF7
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3bO3EtyDb

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr1q6uuNNN

"Do you want more of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qld4fi9ze
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3ArdwRnhb
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2yVjcVPcC

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36Uw2AHAPY

"You got that right." 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc39AT5PGT5
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oOdO1HEkh
ignore her like you're doing forever."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfzrxa275W

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9DjAa21BH

"You know that sooner or later you will need her. And besides, she is always going to be around whether you like it or not."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtiGL5gVrU

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymUiAgyz2n

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpBsJaQG8G

"It's normal for someone1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqYWOQpXpd
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsIKhufPCl
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmehXDsGBMt
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5WFLavpAe
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSTZtP1wxc
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn18pJtGm0X

I always hated such kind1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqScabNJrqw
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlzsr37Il1
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qhZ7UETaP
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqeSKPfPkZ
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmgcvT0Za8
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0WzmQtrw4
nothing.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxTkueqy5G

I've never told anyone 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6YQDboBBo
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT8J60eZDm
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HbWvif9ol
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HogK32UNo
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqmDHMXGcr
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsApG2XgAl
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EZ975AH16

I am Yin and she is 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOWgCnXxVg
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyXFSEhH1h
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoyL1VsXG0
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5kGq1BbBz
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqaWhYYn3s

And now when I needed 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W0dL59GpG
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO0zPYYkLY
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO60QWuvaOd
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFIQswbXy9
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B5E8dn17j
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKmTTBGxky

It all begun when I went1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7HpdTdKI3
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bAOneEysZ
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK4TsDwLtk
this mess.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyNjL7z6eY

We were having so much 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpcLN1Dpw0
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYC0jg1vGd
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeijAZbv1mi
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LaeRXNU8d
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGBPqa7E1M
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJStFMeOr2U
things did go wrong.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlw9sqCac4

As we were watching the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdasrHiXpr
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiwQseRlyQ
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWNnFr0aYR
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkn59YjRrG

When I looked at him, he1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqRJEg0dTH
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9IyJjfbxQ
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwNxj7jpCS
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06jBD5aYmm
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcH95juPmM
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pdoweud6W

After the show when 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuG96kFDf1
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsogTjdzU9
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bi6Z55HtR
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvNtPbYsVj
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceGEvTPApP
take a few minutes.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4S9R57Pwy

I didn't find anything 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv0odolpp4
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9clHxeQOBP
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X7sSZq9B3
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2doGikfz8A
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lVIwmjfnU
too much.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaA47ILDhu

Jehan led the way out 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbSESgBZAY
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN25w7Q4cxC
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3liVvit0Ja
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KNsZockER
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BK2q7nB8U
that I felt a little safe.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaWa8tJmSs

The two of us soon found1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV6HZ8bk1j
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok2DwaiAcu
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNKjmBgLey
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXjXuMqRvP
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnzejEHF8k
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqZLYMxUlw
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglQ0vUuELF
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ReK6pubfb
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9hg2Eibjg
menacing.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAAkiRUERf

He gave me something for1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf8IxonSFq
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F03NEhzFz
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB59LiEf5l
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy13tvu81bS
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8n87G8yyl
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv3f9pAba5
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhcojXl3ER

Whatever he sent me that1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe48H6Deh7
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lVv5Ksjxp
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZPhOqWDvo
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwK2nxjM2A
happened yesterday.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcGQEIcvLd

I had never been in this1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2CLMnvJIa
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hkAOgOeHB
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HKUClFem9
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhNmvpw9S4
crying out loud. I had to do something.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhuh26wDSp

My phone rang bringing 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiY2idQ6g4
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSu7GhoFJd
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJcULOcA58
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0uN27RrCf

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZh3JbYDC0

"I...uh, ya, I will," I said as I picked up the phone and answered the call. I could already feel myself starting to sweat.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Th3fFdt2R

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zDGX0nLyq

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo83fd8wjWy

I would have told him to1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qql8kUv8N
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuJZfvYyHg
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR1hiGHnqU

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0omEdIYxI5

"Looks like you aren't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGodbVwFqqh
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttPQVWuXul
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA4C6xVvRT

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOo0m7TufU

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFQoyLvA9Z

"Just get to the point, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq6cQgpnUm
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepU4PuK6BV
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10luRmHX7E

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf0H3qnOwO

"Today? Are you serious?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuDNoaHgRo

"You know that I am. We meet today."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLdPLCj2mm

"But where?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30clUPs3tR

"At the mall."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksMhgpv0rg

For a moment I almost 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d0XzzDzD6
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsA57aVhGk
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcxPGgK3zj
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ExR95X2DN
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKIXFj9Hzc

"What's so funny?" Jehan1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXFDD5xt92
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9HFVvtcqB
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UxfdAnCkT
myself.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMaeCL7klN

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKW57cQ8jj

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzfvGJbaSQ

If he thought saying 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq02ZypzNZ
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj8k7OLb6g
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDfsjhzaIq

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM1RcQl6ST

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPBH9sSYOA

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa5aDWNqHe

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxla88kP6S

"Ya, sure."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGDUjwWGpN

Jehan didn't say 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo1CcryQFF
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOROrn6nsY
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSlNQ6jWlt
Typical.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4IA37GFpU

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9EAjIAdjP

"Oh, it was Seungri," I lied. "He wanted to see if I was free right now so that the two of us could hang out."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkOhTPioOo

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiLDbmeM7s

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUvoLKq1J9

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoigVJgON8

"Why? You think I would?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Tpe1iGaq

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEeh5ydv5h

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kpT4LysWn

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt8MOTubPt

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwuumTWJyG

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe8cfNrnW6

"That one. Where is it?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fq517unau

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm538IBvqgB

"I just want to ask if it's still around. That's all. I hadn't seen it ever since we went bowling that other day."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTCplXKUTc

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2b09KdKux

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8JIS5zOCx

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJcaPbV3ZG

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDPFCKJX9A

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW5yaUU9BU

I quietly went over to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzu4zUdd8M
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gP8GrFxjc
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7GxFC51gF
soon.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBEK9lGj57

I came to the drawer 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXDs3HZBnb
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qcfUOX9zD
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fOQHtB5CF

I looked at her bed and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQMMbXkLKZ
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEpqv99tII
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh8pqEqiyz

"There you are," I said softly as I took the teddy. "I think it's now time for you to leave once and for all."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5K0U6fKzE

I heard the tap in the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Pug1KFyg
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA4IP0ob84
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAavivtG2Uk
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl7ohb1hZ3
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf232h39TJ

***1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kTq5EB2Fk

Sam's P.O.V1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ixj3zdRXi

"Do you really think 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi4vetu2mx
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gHPgnp2j4
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCiujVPv82

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtJQHFQPf9

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkyU8r4IRQ

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOBLQgzPs6

"I hope it's not drugs."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0733gIB3ZR

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j3MXkPVed

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSiTBsITX1

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvLmKZEjaa

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv13Ft40dw

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ywmyb9b3

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUrMQBdwGO

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORaYO7jUJt

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DCZRqVxPi

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNyDefZQvo

"Zoey."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Vw7YE1mL

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsTmbDriJV
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7QwJYeXuT
they couldn't because of our little fight."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwNH3opqbg

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARjLAN6xw0
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbBi6cFPk4
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1x3OS6aVw

I raised an eyebrow at 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA77aAVgWD5
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBpQb7FOiB
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEixR8WznD

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRq1zom5vh
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGl7YnMtCY
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBFgSQZFDo
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TCc8StDLx

"About what?" Lee asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8F9qxHMug

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcADvVwVySz

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMT0h8wsCD

"But today might be the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxaTfX6EyQ
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc56iCvFl1
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcEcHroAcE

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxixRkO0Yf

My heart rate quickened 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOwopTD06i
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE9ZIKLlpZ
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23NFvZShkH

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde2xv22IYt

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ774WbiBYJb

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15pnlkA11n

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XZWVkIOQz

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyxZYjWq3v

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYWKg71vnQ

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNOtHT69k6

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIShu9hNmLW

"Alright, thanks, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwyqvTBxXP
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY0ZTxPLtu
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH1YRzvxvL
Seungri."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNs6XI9KKQ

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxWC0qloxw

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgsccTQdcS

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHPDg1Vql7

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcMjGLIwrc

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM5RVMZ1C2

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGko5Ctui8V

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI60gtJ6Fz

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaddpDuycc5

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk99WE9b7K

"Yes, I am." I could 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQeAvSh67Y
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmCwcuBoy7
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH9LsbF4ib
perhaps?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD4szTWKgN

I rolled my eyes and as 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOnf0A2pOz
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMYGmKCXCQ
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt4x6cQWjW
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ7bEoihML

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfp1HsZ0zw

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL8UQceHic

I bit my lower lip and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ibmanibyg
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM3x5MZRb8
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMRCd5Ezcy

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTAOTSnK9D

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF2Yuvvaeq

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7yPHj2FUY

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Gtl02ZHM

"Bye."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqICzbNH18

"Bye, my little kitty."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7tx0D3w0v

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLduDQ1EQdX

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyYzey6QEX

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxlnaBO6NH

"Nope. And he isn't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAiNAdKHIq
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJVRHCmr6U
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3qUffSWt3

"Oh." Lee took her smoothie and sucked on the straw. "Umm, what are we going to do now? We have to know where Zoey is."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjjkk6DA5l

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfzdzx8CJK

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvTufE9S3x

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tsBjFS9Ak

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCJJ6caTes

"Tell me about it." I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyLplAHCsE
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a5f0pw8kj
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMJaSfusKG

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz53yHdI6M

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcw2Y6yk3g

After we were done with 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5KBMbU7kd
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QJl3DiwoR
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtASkfNOmMT

As soon as we walked out1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbR6hOXWpb
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHFnD6um5e
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9snJZt01lX
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS7BMHskkf
looking black suit stepped out.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mfa4iFDvT

Time seemed to have 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEeOnchYwH
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6lLwqc17u
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCZlO6oKxe
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm59RLOeCjI
something familiar about him.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyp8K3rV4H

Just as I was about to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBr2dzKWIA
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOVmD6pMO7
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U7CzyfxTN

I almost tripped and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoMtOvjoM4
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroahhcRH4c
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCJljkvW6V
me from falling.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofOYjJ3CDt

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDFFjCWfd1

I didn't say a word as I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk6RiGeEv8
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRurHxjqeCE
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fCkUPfFID

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n7T7mshDA

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUfCMMfA1I

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjTln0vQXF

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVWQHdbphV

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKQdiXrALW

Narrator's P.O.V1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMbc66XqpU

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7exxoZMsi

"Hey guys, am here," 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Zz9zLeNQ
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLQz4u0P6I
look downcast as though someone's just died."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YL261eRX2

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlipIcd2iII

"This is getting real 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsd9iDFfbA
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOVltXrhKJ
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaYfyN3Mcc
her or with anyone of you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdWJOpyLXg

"No, I think now is the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K0GurI9EF
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw73QGR3urP
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCXHMd17Gs

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rebuLtjXa

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAIpTCIjRu

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmqGLPkwGl

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOGNeUnkF4

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraLvtjDAXV

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW9qE6rm2v

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1eMKgHA4u

The others rolled their 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbCXymBaAQ
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBsNyRY6M7
around and now wasn't the time for it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnhWxI6iuF

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl0ivM7PA3

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvdMF44PLf

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wiEfq55Cq

"Well, maybe," said 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFg0ZFVcnB
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQdwpo4deX
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9atxX74Ah
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJuqsS26Jh

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiMCmsbMEC

"When I saw Daesung and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLJ2ImhUoV
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsC1XlqYCs
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFAtvuxR3e

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZKRjdgpVK

G-Dragon didn't answer 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWYvRhYTS0
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43SWfowv33
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysC1WQlIPG

"Oh, I get it now," said Seungri, as he looked up at the ceiling. "But I see no reason why Sam could be in the wrong here."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgK9fGV1zx

"What do you mean?" 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMqexltlJ6
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSSTNnXDIP
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mh0HNR57a

"She was just doing that1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKuKZnZseq
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcbYIk04us
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c3iONX7Kr
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0RLnAawUZ
be together."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83NqWxdpGs

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEraenJidD

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXhUDC42vQ

All the four BigBang 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8F8GMhVyP
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUKdgj4zlb
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUMtWzgl7m
heard him come in.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzfUsp2tBD

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjrM2Oo6TJ

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWc2jRsf0K

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKAdf33sJo

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4k2ALNhxT

"I'm not going to stay 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJsr4gbNn2
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ux6S8nRQ
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny5GSLA6jo

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROiAaJL6yn

"No, I don't."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVggkF6sMuL

Before G-Dragon could 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwM0q4viq8
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM7H09rYi9
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiMPsaJ6jA

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEh6ZYul3A

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBDcu627fS

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bzzi3b5al

G-Dragon folded his arms1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xUDnnSz06
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi3NTyMAYg
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Leq8NJcMg
stared at the ceiling.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTfSrq2Lny

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfuWzDb17F

Daesung came into the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgWhD0oHk0
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7SHu4Hyqs
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigiyeCmbap

"Look, I know you're 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JvGb1sgmR
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9w7f99Chy
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcelXtudRru
never told me anything either."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeCtFd0VgU

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDJFiXxr4M

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyp5JBzwwp

"Why?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfbAkKcvzg

"She just felt like it 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wDQlIFc34
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPQE7Vkynk
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLcKaM1zuG
long distance relationships will ever work out."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZubcWGsDLJ

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZVC2LE0jw

"Because I know I'll 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDA83utepX
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTRtCBZEl9
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMnAOL5FjO
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDDR3hGBAL
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsxo819PlG
want to hurt anyone either.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQXP4CHCny

"Maybe that's why she 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnlKcV6nrX
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3rn1waqsq
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsKFmzr6mC
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZAR1r8zG4

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o0pAgJk0c

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeTAtjCqU5

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2nr6HgPcK

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFmZVuSKNN

"I know."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q8Z3flqvB

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJvKd0UyWz

"I'll think about it."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPPSbHQih9

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qOOTwIUFU
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTGTZFh0UE
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZObLHOtPp
the mall."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrX9YBhl9h

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9AEz3feru

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOICO5K0oec

"Ya," said Seungri, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpgdrGqEsA
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfsNA2uEes
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLS13Oc1ob

"No way! I'm not going to the mall," said G-Dragon. "What am I going to say? I need more time to think about it."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdVWwUfo7C

"There is no time to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLdwFFrmaD
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbI1uf34tY
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrUVUXDuBu

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKzY8OAqWw

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyxOfSAgfp

"We're your best 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd0rLYthEB
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6ncz34MIG
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlDXDYRAui

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztTE15vCW4

Zoey's P.O.V1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHPlHbEpYU

I came out of the black 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy7mSHrfM3
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ZBgakdvB
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMCpiY4EZU
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvMORw8RuD
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84K5LKD9MZ
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP6Ru5lWYp
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMvG6kZShQ
by my fans.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijR1vW3Z3r

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzsse1fy27

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9fqKZ7poN

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSdO4WXCzL

"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S7C8KwWlq

"Okay."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCOEilWUhg

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLfJev9AV2

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zXjHjONSy

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcWFSar3CO

"Well, I'm glad you 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XXjzqottu
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPc7vdD9g4
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONpb0ddYAn
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUph7Q3IYo0
lot smarter than you think."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTRyIMaWss

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlx2Y5FN2p

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6rCLx5QBY
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVyHtpCBt6
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNq55jjsts

When I went into the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69lXoBwV1Y
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UQUNmfvkX
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoi0BpOoLU

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYadpXdmIY

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8sYJz1DjC

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeGXSFui8O

I shivered. Despite his 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e3uIHDVwj
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ009R5Ol46p
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4jArqVFGf
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNFnCHwuhp
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRPCw1jTOd

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzCjTKh8Rj

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Mkmlrnvs

"Why do you need to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmO03Ir5go
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03wGHBGnKH
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3UzCHw3Kv

"Well, I need to know 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQstPTOFlL
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRgN4gwtJZ
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhxYzR59B7

"And tell me, why should1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxEk6VTN7b
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Aa5G0y5SA
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdjBVi70En
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxQNvUHXL7
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSKNdwqt6e

"I...eh..." I looked him1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Egei2PLrQ
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmzn6J9gLw
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTHYSdQ9to
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUi0J1PM3D
the kind who would send such a thing."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYNooCLB26

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxg7lalSTj
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk30zyOMQCB
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp6wpxYgnf

"I don't know." I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ1Nhpx67p
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBGmaV7uBd
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLh5t9KdD1
up to?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSNDK1NOv6

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4N4m4eeOx

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFLUsVxVlC

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSOhHx1xmc

"What's the matter with that?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutr5LY4XsL

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7mDczVUFq

"Don't test my patience,1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJhRj94v15
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCX3sy4KZ9
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8kfsD7tge
think you deserve to you know."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU0duOAkH3

"Well, yes, I do."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH3ldzlfjI

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj6A4eJi1b

***1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5vJCEB74I

Sam's P.O.V1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRKBOOOHh9

I could see Zoey from 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4K3MmYL8k
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf1bLNIeZs
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEbCdFnD1N
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopSAmKvfvd
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHOLSaXvdl

I was entirely grateful 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNCWXMqYiw
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIExfAsqtcZ
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIsKyJD2D6
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb5IVWRkAA
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JQppVUuxJ
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLPfnV4QPW
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeChzuJAWld

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GgiHNjp50

"Believe me, he is," I said as I looked at a nice beige top on a hanger and then took a brief glance out the window.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE4P6voMTJ

"But how did you know 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabp9guMzsu
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct2wvUunjX
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAjPc6OOvw

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsTFBAblWk

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHkQSI0X4U

"Well, ya," I said as I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lLrXnJbOp
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZczWMRReef
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLJJbOS1M4
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWMGib9YEP

Lee turned to the window1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHc3ugdJKH
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HjAGczGnt
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMWSeFeyvf

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14VHNWRPa2

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKaa87XiyM

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ320EF77axu

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvhlEjQMUD

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXNGUm0spb

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyFJjDgjx3

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfckgMnn9T

We made sure to keep a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj3um6MTxN
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMtTxsGMlg
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkS6ZEcuyQ
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11nqqfPUqE
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkyOiCbuIO

They went down the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUw0g3L5uM
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QES5gY5Ya
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3YXTpnWWR
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFDCnU10Q4

They were led by a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4764di6FDg
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcuhDzvlPk
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI63bWyi3p
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAihSnOWZOw
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMJ6xUPNlf
restaurant.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZedZctAvz

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX32MVzH8Or

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkJcnYlSjf

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO1FpsDLOZ

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOOPos5506

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrHNTWJomD

"Me neither. But what to1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZLj1zPyaY
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ub8mZcXKf
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay0JzP6gSB

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs4hgyzmK6

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWWSJoJlXd

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJh0UCJ2ZD

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZtkiZVYKE

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ2gXhAO7q

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf3FLRGEMi

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70KUKdCT5G

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXt1AGDjZK

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx31GGY8DwK

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vW7WhcucY

"Don't worry. Seungri 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMsxCnli9w
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwH2IMKJmE
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bAmKvmrtd
and she will know something fishy is going on."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGGSxDj1P5

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpOeM4C8eV

"I hope so too."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcJaQtilB6

***1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGCRhRZEgx

Zoey's P.O.V1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgnPJlfVxi

I looked at the menu and1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFIGWNAEBg
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ512T9AYkfm
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVrUOEgpKJ
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNOZ5IGhdf
looked up at me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbDj1eClWS

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzfYLNyQ35

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZo0zW3R50

"Why?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcldCHgURL

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡartzwcjUin

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XwC0kfPF7

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMgm8jYyq2

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYtmYS0j5L

"What?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzzPXOiPbM

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRymf1kQwh

"I'll try not to next 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoMsk57MAp
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCpQ5fpR6X
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1YisHKwtK

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttSTwlYiYq

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZwyrUtzCf

"Not tell anyone."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8s471w6sh

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbCTLqtOMI

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CNQqRPYmR

"I smuggle diamonds."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06LOqMK6sl

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpQWqpNeFQ

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxFIxrSFrc

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCK4wuiOlk

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6OotKgbbC

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMRlNKBkZm

The waiter came with our1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb5hpq22vS
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRthotOtBC8
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEueCrQmzzg

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrRHw9Efmo

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZHD4GhkUS

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoyPAcQqYR

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCDLrJxdyj

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GMGegx6aY

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf9jINFjlu

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OE8DiLQuD

"Is that why you're so rich?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTCRMMBieY

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg4PjFBax0

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6wkdDQDs1

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYVmotfV9d

I gulped. He was giving 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7vHKNAZPM
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC3lXjgRgc
manage to get out of this lunch, alive.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpuMQ6n7r8

I was waiting by the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyaffiBsO5
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HD6NGWzD0
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKJWo4deMS
car? What was he doing here?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKksRZGpHlz

Seungri came out of the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxgl8Vm8Ly
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbqbgHbNBj
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxjdh0Ypda
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPC7Nh1oLP
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqVlc1BEKA
what I was expecting.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxcQgMmAAu

I trembled. What am I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5OJSmEUH0
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qFqefElMk
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWTyKopmI6
give Mr Teddy away.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGhGB6gM6e

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZqwURVyr2

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutBJqOQczy

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGoSr3fSJK

"I, no....I," I didn't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr041FZ1Ou4
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4chMXKefdk
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4uBDuWGc5

"I was only expecting 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkVs0r1vYe
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZr3JavttN
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrj1q3l2EE
seeing the two of them together.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z3INvx3Xn

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oFusvXMVX

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS9LSkxBNA

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9HbO5DiKH

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP2FmgmUZw

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gBh9Bp97f

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNsuLyoxc4

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2nZmdMBGr

"Come with me," I said 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UHPcgoi0P
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY00EJoqYa
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiqJBa4JBP
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGhA8t8uCF

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44wwINUrSN

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUUCPQwK8E

"Hi, guys. You're 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWOKS00uuy
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSyheH1DxQ
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEUldhSpAG

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RFWouNLDL

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAsW46YDjs

I could feel Lee's eyes on me and I could tell she was scared of telling them the truth. So, I had to do the talking.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkcJU7huHj

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo12gZ496fO

that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7HoMtiefe
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDSD2XFYWo

The five all turned to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Keem1A0w
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXUFk5Bgv0
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKXpgI7x8K
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7bzz34nmw

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSzXFZXSR0

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4VpQyOr0h

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseTYa3X272

"Yes, I do," said G-Dragon looking through the glass window. "We met him at the fashion show. I'm surprised why he is here."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp48xWoagM

"We were also wondering 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDewkxtBW1k
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdibRLKYoz
them, but decided that I would rather not."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAqpVpXCHa

"Why?" Daesung asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIZuspA2s0

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YlqAOmijC
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTy7Bp55wn
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Gwi6ZUmt
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWZeo2moMB

"Aww, so sweet of you to think I could solve that out for you, my little kitty," said Seungri with a smile on his face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQjBjj2f3h

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC7ZaY47aS
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cm1n1tvrO
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4f4DmNwRm

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorOFYNAfAb

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bs7xD79sf

Everyone turned to look 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xYrIQxQgm
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz3le1DjxK
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8BjHN5moL
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavGd3C1E0R

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzYXiB1h5g

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8VNrHwgEP

"Here you're now 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ojvly5MPy
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gTITa9hct
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0klRDdc2J

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xH7WuGwxa

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lmxS7yAe3
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidk2iPlxnD
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5srn4iIFS
something, quick.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLdVGKytJk

"Okay, fine, we will 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebn2Z4H2u8
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrNRmigcCT
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr36uxOOv6O

Yes. Finally. I thought 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa9fqGHYKI
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g57CkPkEF
everything was going to be delayed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HcKgiX1OI

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDoHJ5YVph

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1MY009gG2

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5xPcoJD7u

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm38TN8XXR2

As much as I wanted to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMYd7a8dIX
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS5BVI6yWn
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lNOifk66W

***1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY51wLloVN8

Zoey's P.O.V1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxJoaw6m3t

As much as I tried to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllIIjLFOSs
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DeeIhHHaT
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkSbuV6kTx
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64Xqe3AfZW
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdCUAVqqzn

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXb7gLpmQB

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR7BSZRMpx

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHKlZwJlG3

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9axt5Q8vsV

"Looks like you're getting all worked up for nothing, Zoey." Jehan got a napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuNc85CQNw

"What do you want me to 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiCQL5flH5
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54HKPpS66O
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYIpMpz9ji
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSjxAULiiG

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafJccMrojL

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoBUtrvTq6

Jehan shook his head and1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYzthmzNlu
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTLUtmhuZI
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62IP1zyoI3
annoying."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyhcT37AUr

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kCYVgDS1g

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFvvt1tNaQ

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiBP8Rwb8z

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgbZZVQUJa

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS5qIPtCmf

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvNKPYiFpx

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKs4Bdeih7

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdayhayhnce

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFr3MHhRXv

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y6i5kPWE9

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwpxGnmbCT

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl4Xrz1DAx

"Yes, for real."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLOHvyuYxc

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd6PqVM18x

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFocR0VBmx
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hOBk4aGVt
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeaKdXjP4O

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML541zH4QZ

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvzAHSLqrz

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUtSAonhB6

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUYX8LrnVk

I took a deep breath. This was it. Once I give him the teddy, it will all be over and I can finally be in peace.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7betjGa7t6

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7l34coZrq

"Zoey, hey!"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLJYCmhwc8

Seungri? I quickly 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nc3w9b7Z1
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqL9BtUgyS
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mdz1J1Tew
here?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XUbUoLZvU

They came over to our 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHGO1zbJjZ
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwbGSwNHs4
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTr99r9q3k
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODUtAmgwnX
to do now?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f8Nf3cyri

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGzgF1P3Eb

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEIAqnO37c

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo6G1hGyeR

"Jehan."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM7aAppUer

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7B7o0R4Sf

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUexPN0GsM

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8tIoYF58i

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a9I1r2rsE

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFquuJ1CbEU

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB9ZuXSb2u

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lqyarknwe

I almost spit out the 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0cKf4KuZ0
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlWd1PwMjV
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG16b80v7N
to water.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtztkMOmuh

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rDQlTQBl1

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81OKtmxq9d

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3g1fDTMHy

Jehan looked at me and I1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG53ggFp3MW
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHGwhOx5Ir
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXBJokNI6r

"May I ask what you're 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kqhT3LGrt
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7C1lkNsHW
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOjfu6oZZd

"Oh, we just came here 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesvXjPDdGL
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRjZDFbpTB
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KQP2tFYqi

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lNp9seHIQ

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFCoVsJJEz

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvS1gMYWq6

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUclJVaE8QS

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQIZm89jdA

"Yes, we will," said 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceoEMbLQyQ
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RSaMr2b1b
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV85SFgKSUH

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuidOXYoR72

"You too," said Seungri.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTjpFZ4vet

Jehan gave a small smile1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AyGzINETY
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYrNmf1dWg
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUEMgMdOor
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8GYxq3u6p

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMKTlRCfMz

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY6oUSVyUM

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDMBsNlKuz

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRE3ohfZwQ

I wondered how I was 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDtLmHb2Lc
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzViw81tx2
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJGXyLaNfP
head until I give the teddy bear away.1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIITvaTd3rh

This was just great!
