My watch said 10:31 and I hissed in frustration. I was getting really impatient and I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.1045Please respect copyright.PENANACGtiTyB5Om
I had never been this 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYlw2Bt6zYE
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAyqeqhRtxsT
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmm1Q1kd6fw
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA002uz9Xwvr
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA3rFjBOWPJf
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAg2fIyMBMHe
"Sam!"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAi5d5egHnSu
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1Srn8ozuH4
Zoey came out of the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA5OD8ZyBJAk
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on1045Please respect copyright.PENANABZ8qHU9dFm
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtTcaVQuiv9
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAAaMsodJebR
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHOjSBl6MlD
"You've been searching for it all morning," I said as I stood up. "Can we please just go to the studio? We're already late."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAcqUkA8LW07
"No, let me go and check again," Zoey turned around to head back to the room and I groaned so loudly to grab her attention.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1xN33uiAte
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."1045Please respect copyright.PENANACjOqDFji4P
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAyqUG8sRmAg
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmBjXYwPE8m
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA45puwi9wdA
I ignored her and said, 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA30JIesASHL
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAo3bNDtPWoJ
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhcPCxVatoW
"What time is it?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlzyHlENlqE
"10:35."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAcUvcQSyagt
"Wow, time really passes by."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQApsNMVCBY
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxKrryT3nUM
"Let me go get my phone."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvbrzac99T6
Zoey rushed back to the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHaH4UMkfij
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing1045Please respect copyright.PENANA5iUHvmyPMM
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUtXqrRr9a1
that was Zoey.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHxbJfbJx55
I soon received a 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXPRHJcxqAz
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAgEb2cKOPXr
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAT3JduQXS9U
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAgfucaiu3If
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"1045Please respect copyright.PENANASR6WLkpHj1
"I'm coming."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdeNOBnfcF2
I started heading 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAAW4sDW3rsU
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAOgrJTwc5en
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzDQzvgIURT
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 1045Please respect copyright.PENANACo3M6urYGg
number. A number coming from another country.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtI6zpIge7n
"Oh, who is this?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWBCcKQMQ41
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.1045Please respect copyright.PENANASt9t4BPpz2
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAfTizQI0yk1
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWIJYIBDRD6
"Come on, we're already late."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6iIBd2KQMW
We went into the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9LBTOVqHx3
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHUGzA1LjyQ
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA62kdn5rcKm
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvyn3pVrAft
When we got to YG, 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAMHxr0rkXd7
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbOsnaJKoWN
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHxyC0XSIMV
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAj6ckbrA0MJ
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAikrbrgrmij
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."1045Please respect copyright.PENANArzhCnaxU2x
Zoey held her earlobes 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAv8Pab7ypug
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQKe2ysiji8
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6t5m1ZEZFR
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAcXvMrNxgiq
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.1045Please respect copyright.PENANALuwCo2B7Qp
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAyK4bxBwCxs
"Remind me whenever you're deciding who sings which part of a song to let me be there," said Collins as he turned to look at me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAI12GdeSG3w
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhhgca1CXkB
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAwYq5yilRYA
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4bVcIxomPM
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.1045Please respect copyright.PENANALWxuQgG8ze
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA7eHhpuuYed
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtvkRdcKC3D
"Then let's do so," said1045Please respect copyright.PENANAr0TzPWNnHo
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYOHTxgJoJy
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQPpMplTWma
I had completely forgot 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzppA3oqZ4o
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAO6wqVNNHk3
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAkwsS2xNgZr
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAucFw2UHFLd
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQZMJPYYCkE
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."1045Please respect copyright.PENANANs4csPizlj
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAAgj3RW77qd
In the live room, there 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPzY5wPd17G
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWYnKCLjR4T
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAE2WUSDBpRv
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6CQ6yqfTlg
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAx4IQzv3mVR
I looked at the others 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9X47f970FS
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzw3yOOcO2S
producer started to play the tune for the song.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAsPvqIgz112
G-Dragon started to sing1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1SVr9jVFzT
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAr4QnXIDoCX
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAMhoTLZaG7D
to let them sing the first verse together.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhmvZTIFJul
Collins, the music 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAVI2Sh7rOqc
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1oAIAWLeyg
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKT93Ea8SO6
Christine then sang the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIBcvKtnZry
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAwGinQAzWwY
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAiF7fmdbSyX
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhhrwxSjbjb
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxXNFvkndQw
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA92O6ixfAau
I smiled at Taeyang who stood beside me and I nudged him on the shoulder. "Stop it, Tae," I said. "Don't make me blush."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAj0CWiEuIaa
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I1045Please respect copyright.PENANABUqZzNBBXw
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA0uOfuZzK7Q
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAsBvelg4u76
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA88qai0qRan
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdA1xqO7ECN
"You may," said Collins,1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzugVRFpm0G
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAyIxCCJSovL
You have to work on the backup vocals."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA42odQQQ4IN
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ii1JSx9xY
If I hadn't known 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYuL6IZEk4k
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAnNHAvUUInY
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4cmYNuEDnH
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAaKXQ9rRaE6
hollow inside.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYr9zY1y5je
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.1045Please respect copyright.PENANARH66WzodRi
We continued recording 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAAQPD7xXHnm
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 1045Please respect copyright.PENANABAhZmZo08d
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 1045Please respect copyright.PENANADXJQZFwJzA
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.1045Please respect copyright.PENANApOYqHYbYjP
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIfzxYoJwCs
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."1045Please respect copyright.PENANACY0YcIcwB9
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAVT2Y7qXHJm
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAVzq2KVcBEh
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAH2dE4BpKwR
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAkFlkirpmbm
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANANcSfuTDn9v
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHUMoROuabW
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAR1gyszYVIz
"But be back within an hour."1045Please respect copyright.PENANASvLDiplufW
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAngshY2ODbg
"Fine, an hour and a half."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2olcP85EEZ
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAAwgOK7nEsg
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAeYJ4CIVSzl
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAyj5o2QNqQ1
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6pALRiUaxC
"That, my friend," said 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUgJ5Q515nm
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAexabvarcYq
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFBSvrbV1uL
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.1045Please respect copyright.PENANArqNpBj8DQx
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAcb6AP0OrzQ
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWgtCMOr8to
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtpeOCOSNoI
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAEBuEJYLHYB
"Whenever you want us to1045Please respect copyright.PENANATVLdEDanAo
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUii5HZvXjq
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPEAQUwxXvD
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAT7cQ6uUX9g
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1krVGGVcwH
"Huh," I thought of all 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAti7D5Xq2w1
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1lpGNLNMEr
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAgUtS7bOjJJ
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAos4OzUY51n
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmKmAOFNcG1
"Come on, Sam," said 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvbZ0koUYzI
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPfLwYEiisX
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAkxw40V9Uhp
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.1045Please respect copyright.PENANArJUptgBIYG
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ny5XRFzTF
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9XyrFKlbsd
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHGTnu336sh
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPeS3mogsoq
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAeubRCX6HlP
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANA95enG0bk1Q
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjK2nTuTh06
"They aren't here," I said.1045Please respect copyright.PENANASrDduEdLqR
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYUSpSWz7Re
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdCTlUjGjoY
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAS2HrRDoUAo
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAX1TEeEj0Xe
I nodded my head and we 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA90okAZmYmb
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZXBvFp5UeS
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAL0Koi9zSQL
We were in the lobby and1045Please respect copyright.PENANAv41RrGP5B0
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that1045Please respect copyright.PENANAkxm6pyyXf7
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPj0sc9ziOu
morning.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAJJ8IzIVGTB
I first sent Zoey a text1045Please respect copyright.PENANAcVj4VX9Oib
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxRN3J8qaG7
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA40u8XiJVl0
"Hey, what are you looking at?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4zLDUqr9oS
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.1045Please respect copyright.PENANABkFn4SdIbg
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.1045Please respect copyright.PENANApSqUhIpaEU
"Okay, shall we go?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAH8MVphb4c9
"Ya, sure." I put the phone back in my pocket and I wrapped my arm around his elbow and we walked out of the building.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2qKVguGXUZ
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAis5mmQ0GB9
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKYNAtr5Dc9
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.1045Please respect copyright.PENANATZv1iulrKy
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAoKqxrXvqsa
Instead of using any one1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWXuUuQeQwu
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAuALY3LnwUa
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAD7o2xSs7vi
attention, especially from the customers.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA03t9PKc8tC
I had to admit, the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANApokEdyp5FE
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As1045Please respect copyright.PENANAY4pFpcoWsg
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIWJ7MHCRRH
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXACZsbtli8
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAE7SeYGbqtU
A smartly dressed 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZT3ZlXFhBD
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1NS5gy4sIS
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIwLFXAo0kG
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZtlEYC2cJ6
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXBk8JzcjJ7
We were escorted to a 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYLRV7CfHrw
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAq84RAReFV6
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXhvipaKluL
TOP pulled a chair for 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAg9RI85Mlkt
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHfWyRkLjF6
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 1045Please respect copyright.PENANARKD76TEY3B
beside her.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAB21ygg3bg0
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXqkYjS2FjY
"Tell me about it," said Christine.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA5nQ4DqGZCS
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKbdo8jEHZC
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANASL6k76sohM
"So, let's order," said Daesung.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA7A2Zv3pkDo
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAU3IatL9Dzt
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAVZvInu5R5k
As we were having our 1045Please respect copyright.PENANANfY7FB8Aqu
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our1045Please respect copyright.PENANAru21M6KZVY
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6LtRjqyNQx
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAOFUf0cGLRL
having fun wherever they were.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIDiuAIDhwQ
While I was having my 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAEhfmTQVAE4
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9oZJqTby76
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQL2i8IWrRl
unknown number had sent me a message again.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAGxx5UI9Zwa
I tapped on the message 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAiKMjsNPVeP
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAfTJQgsHcnL
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6Jjy2b4T7H
the next message was more surprising.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA7c2Vn9SYEx
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAEQwTwbHRXq
Anything about what was 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAz4ejyztPJr
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANADeTOyKUIQF
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbaawQJux1L
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.1045Please respect copyright.PENANADRx7ohrQXN
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.1045Please respect copyright.PENANASEJpoJ6Lbk
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxjqonoG5Qb
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."1045Please respect copyright.PENANACZrdihJADW
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAb1ttX17Soe
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAGtqeMI1wT7
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAMr3mxdCw0V
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA3lGPzBE6aC
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."1045Please respect copyright.PENANArjzGDc63js
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAck9OTTovrC
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhVphqz3ZL8
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAcwN81jbo2u
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKrJnIuCpKC
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAK6rnXYEHLj
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAsP0pe9XwVC
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjAjfNGTGjy
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvkzP2V2y1L
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhSDcswPkfy
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHaNCd6jIuQ
"Can we please stop 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA77NLbZmyA5
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFr64N85yHy
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmDzi8kbBCS
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxBCIeNiPTr
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAwdHdJjPnpU
"No, let me," said 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdflchdZWem
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxu62MHaZpt
allow her to say what she wanted to say.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6mUNQN9Lj
I shook my head at Christine and she leaned back on her seat with a groan. Daniel smiled when I nodded my head to let him go on.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAd4T83gY72G
"Because, Collins gave 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxNxqwoi2uD
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9lYUJ91MJC
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAczvWiMEsWx
Never."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHJFq0VRFzj
There was silence on the1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzKSVLrSCP8
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAoKC95oSiA0
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPMCXm8uQMf
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.1045Please respect copyright.PENANALuNGM5bjIY
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAM1hxDlFMZw
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIeUoxFghSQ
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIKXkyumYYI
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.1045Please respect copyright.PENANALqEQxa7fFb
"It's serious to 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQXOm3y3yv9
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAg9tPlJfv13
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZsbNN1Dxf
babies."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAifewRau0Hj
That was odd coming out 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZq9RtmI7bG
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA0s3oFlv7Ri
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWrL2cwqkrU
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzn6yqxQXMI
laps.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAP1R4MkvxcB
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWF1uZCQkOw
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHRjX903d4s
I really did. Something 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAoR2TRQMYrA
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAwGZPbDwJ7C
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAELt4yf4Msg
"Excuse me, I'll need to use the rest room," I said as I drew back my chair, stood up and headed straight for the ladies' room.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAOSYFY5Jz6z
I quickly closed the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZ04nACu0jy
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA3wqJSl5NXG
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAq3mykKiUPZ
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUfG1Yh6Gp2
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHaBYJ6jhqd
I shook my head and I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQVMsi2aYkT
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAweb6F7a0Bv
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA0c9I4UtpNl
supposed to care. But I did.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAOJU1HUD37A
I looked at myself and I1045Please respect copyright.PENANAnbY6WwPGbW
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAF42NIOmAHL
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPVQwPIJ53X
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6PaFztdIUQ
things and focus on what's really important.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAgrJz3uw73k
I quickly took a deep breath to try and pull myself together. I rinsed my hands, left the room and went back to our table.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYdADzm5n62
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA7VwPfZ8cvQ
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPFuqRRelGZ
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPdYwEnMY4L
I gulped. What had these1045Please respect copyright.PENANAf1c2DgwpjW
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAA0FX3U7Cpy
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.1045Please respect copyright.PENANANvWknBJ8nT
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZTXhLgNNFq
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4YHZHogbAl
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAG85VET7S9C
"And I have been a good girl on my part," said Christine making an invisible drawing of a halo above her head with her finger.1045Please respect copyright.PENANArVO7zEOMIu
While Christine was one 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzsmZMObf1x
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvixBgj4L1O
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAiLH5xKnqMB
worse.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZnNYtWbwTT
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAt4qTnxm53L
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPK6vGmDwJb
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.1045Please respect copyright.PENANASYppzKgufA
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9GMq50NdaL
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAospj60lk3I
I blushed. "Mike!"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtrkTJqtTN6
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9J0eJ3Yn2
"I've tried kissing 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAL6BPA3qQuQ
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 1045Please respect copyright.PENANALxwaQgOUDg
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAT8gMa9NRyX
"Uhh, if I were you, I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqRHOPMM7Xn
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAJKUIzGmOnp
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANACvsLWZGH4C
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAOyWjNtRRbX
regretting it."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzjzgwMWIbr
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA8E8L6YB9Ny
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1CpE1eeail
"Fine, I'll listen to 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzZMVxrn3a0
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQyMazsWgrK
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAceNkp2hWgX
blushed.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAp08wDVa7ha
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlCwSv2N5j1
He was right. We only had a few minutes to get to YG. And Collins was one person who's strict when it comes to time.1045Please respect copyright.PENANACtSjqcUXP4
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAms4v3pzQXq
We got to YG just in 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAcppLAp6xfu
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2pb3PIU4ul
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqPBoPt1AH2
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFgOsUwQyf5
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAgfpqoZDEgk
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.1045Please respect copyright.PENANATmSNVyKmQv
I couldn't help but feel1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6uitMvw2Cc
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPBbXRhQUl9
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.1045Please respect copyright.PENANALoUbtbYxc7
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?1045Please respect copyright.PENANAv4tcrQPSnm
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjLXz7TCaFT
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdIR7K0XgzB
I felt something inside 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlX7vy60jGe
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAuNhd3fHxBp
couldn't believe what I was hearing.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxYWPLBJK3B
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA31AGSx4Dhd
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYccMC5Xb8a
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAj7Fi2xnNOd
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA58L496CZyq
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAA06QCH7Og9
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2O9b5Ucj3w
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAITeMKMUHrP
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAY4TbV9pmNJ
"Then?" TOP asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAEHmHDHuWHs
"I don't know, I went over to get some ice cream for the both of us, and the next thing I know she was gone."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHvruFkIU20
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYfSDlzwkef
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjRhO9uexA9
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAfRK17TBJtu
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAum1iiLizgZ
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQYQqAcBGla
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAVDJqSFt132
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA27cbBHcDCa
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."1045Please respect copyright.PENANALqKYhvRcun
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAswvrVigBVR
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAP2FdnrfB5S
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.1045Please respect copyright.PENANArQnhJ7WOgF
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAl5SoPqSRPg
I couldn't help but 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPKol7OmQgM
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAwXrvYsZ995
not telling us what was really going on?1045Please respect copyright.PENANAGjDs1Fels1
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbTD0lOeEQf
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.1045Please respect copyright.PENANARLShMRh4vZ
"We've to look for her," said TOP.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjSOQf74OIB
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANADE9yFzxADE
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.1045Please respect copyright.PENANABRw50p4unV
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAgalbamVbvn
"Did someone say my name?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWLPizxtsjM
I cringed. He was one 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAiKcQE4WVNV
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAAeuWoOJ29V
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAA6T36Lifrn
the music producer.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtzt9K8Uk2A
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA22QW8ibLAC
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAwbZ0fa7tmy
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA5GTl6Ub0Md
"Looks like you aren't 1045Please respect copyright.PENANATmGZnFtn6H
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUKydbaz2kZ
away from us and heading towards the console.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4gRxylm29p
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAY14JLaROWJ
I looked at the others 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2v7lqegjz
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2s7VWUS6mm
something or else we would be toast.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqCQaBjpRzY
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAwocJ2XR5oZ
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAVyckPhz6AS
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANALLyg7MrEDx
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAE1h6WQTQ9Z
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtvGWfkcpYh
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQx6XC8d1Ki
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHK9wyby8Ae
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQo70fRuO2O
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzrqLgVT9L1
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.1045Please respect copyright.PENANABCra1SkpjL
Please say yes. I was praying in my heart that Collins would agree. This time I wasn't relying on my eye to do anything.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6GHr7i9fAH
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxuPQY350w4
Mike and Daniel almost 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZUxH3nRZJx
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAcwKCxsX0wZ
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her1045Please respect copyright.PENANA29X4e94rJO
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9RlQwIQJfM
"That's fine," said Taeyang.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjqKCmD2ikX
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXfPZWgcbRS
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAnAQnzd98YV
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtFAouPGghR
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAO4repCCAkP
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPG2yPQQXjW
Christine was doing the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAJkZwfpCLVC
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious1045Please respect copyright.PENANA5mKzWUHfbF
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKQn0QjrXz3
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAT5S3OXLPbC
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANATLygPrdQLl
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlA2zJDZpn3
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZIPTTnCy8a
I wanted to ask where, 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAD180tsm86c
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWrXqPW2as4
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the1045Please respect copyright.PENANA8X1sqSjmkK
music producer soon left.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvcFm7CX0Vk
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAOzu2wlbln4
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmtPnLqwX2e
"Ya, we should," I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAsFuSgs81zz
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in1045Please respect copyright.PENANA5rlU9sCnqE
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."1045Please respect copyright.PENANApQhXx20isZ
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAeIcuJX8RuG
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAeWRd2ZoLMp
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAw2nA16e3Xy
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAd5StaLkFdJ
As soon as we left the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtvbXvDZoce
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZWttJBEBFw
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1ywrVc9cNF
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlb5Q4AIyTg
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.1045Please respect copyright.PENANARzeFF7RHZi
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPajsaPjYe3
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdyZWHxIyym
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYikBhHVL9A
G-Dragon drove away and 1045Please respect copyright.PENANACtmY6PlkUN
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqzgMs1RsOc
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAd8q56yTZrj
"Did you two have some sort of argument?" I asked when we both got out of the car and I went round it to face him.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzjQYNza0eJ
"What?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAMSHhrxtu8i
"Did you two argue?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAsMZWiQmNDy
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAngrXXvdczB
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzRutm9KIZ3
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANABgIDEzRl4o
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1wSDyRPmUw
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAnwemiXdZ1o
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtt0NYSLCi9
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtEn1VxgClm
With quick strides, I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvVNABXf8Fz
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I1045Please respect copyright.PENANAaoR719lgxE
could look at him directly in his face.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUfMAvB5tEL
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAyRCf3nZji3
"I want you to tell me the truth."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAcAGe9PLbPc
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA553qhfjluh
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIn6Nd56pWq
G-Dragon chuckled and 1045Please respect copyright.PENANACTtbbkyJ80
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAaPt66RidFw
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAyvrc4b9mc2
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxPJKxy9T2B
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."1045Please respect copyright.PENANABUtLMCdNNQ
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKUloQSram9
"And how do you know?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHMSTv2Lu8s
"I'm her best friend. 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjsyDLPvyq4
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAr1PhskDhWl
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzMXFGDWi8t
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."1045Please respect copyright.PENANALgjKfMrpny
"Zoey can't end her 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqBxk1Bjqsz
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAJic03zbm85
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9NbGPPI2Uo
you did something."1045Please respect copyright.PENANADLSqrLnbh4
"Me?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzbVWLCHito
"Da! Yes, you!"1045Please respect copyright.PENANANxuKkPCyTp
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANANNQ0JU8cdj
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.1045Please respect copyright.PENANArqBHa0U3Rn
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAplTxllaJ2N
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFE8UYByQxV
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1GMwKVyEB6
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAMEol3XJy50
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAGM8eEgkUMn
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPsxcvpEASo
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANA8aM5qg9G2d
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."1045Please respect copyright.PENANATGHlmibx0x
"Ya. Sure."1045Please respect copyright.PENANApLRqhRBbDW
"Now, will you please 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAnxOn2tvTya
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxvlg7rB6w2
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAfCGy4JyMsx
interview."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhmxn19Hd1n
I didn't say anything, 1045Please respect copyright.PENANApnfLChTDae
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFyDLP53NUZ
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdMgxHDr3VS
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and1045Please respect copyright.PENANAI7Uh7me5LP
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFRDKXAdbSb
but nothing.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAf0jauAmsrl
We were already half way into the park and still no sign of Zoey. We were by the lake and I sat down on the grass by the banks.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWCptvRvnLl
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXzn8huPZmG
"I'm not," I said as I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA57rCJfIp4z
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmIoPXTdVfU
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAM8z3hQJJxW
G-Dragon sat down beside1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbkMASh64R4
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIL3VQBlqjI
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAly2Dfby7gN
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful1045Please respect copyright.PENANASOJ4eCwCBL
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAJNj5iBZais
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAD0JGEPlAeZ
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANA85iPmRPPg8
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAO5wN8gTJt7
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAR7HoYXLxlC
"You love nature, don't you?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxHdM7E20Cm
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAsltAdANeRM
At that moment, I was so1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzHKhRymR2z
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about1045Please respect copyright.PENANAp68wtwhH24
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdkZvkDQ68B
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdZvbypBwJC
even the noise around me seemed non existent.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA0ByLGlVmN9
Then I felt something 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKxumRkEssq
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 1045Please respect copyright.PENANArRI3ANGzl2
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAR0Bjo1q7FJ
was staring at me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAgCB76kMHxz
"What?" I asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA0B1lPEVbEP
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHorXs6qs9W
I blushed all of the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANARhlMeFI5qP
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZyQxNuzwWe
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAktH1CPRL9C
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjQX80moYIy
I would have said yes to1045Please respect copyright.PENANAekl1dkArwX
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAJu5G2cMBQu
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZJSL9yVszT
were never meant to be.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXJbH3P31GS
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9VN9M8d1sk
"Why?" He asked softly.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4aTRoHDdhb
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxDkNexsWHX
"What do you mean?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXCK2FzUBth
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAeFJNBW81kM
"So?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAi3Grc2I1Q9
"I want you to stay far away from me as possible. The further we are apart, the better it is for the both of us."1045Please respect copyright.PENANARWfbZOSgAB
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAfL9nYEqvbH
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAI04YIZAfR4
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQRSLxV5R9r
"I know."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2tnvmHo42k
"Then why are you doing this?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANA0KfWqD9VPo
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXTwttcx3Xc
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAJB5DS8nEgY
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2k6j2lBLZO
"You should find another1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4hcZtvQh7a
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 1045Please respect copyright.PENANACUbr0yIl0d
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQF6LM5fzIE
will never forgive myself."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAayCtXR5kh9
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."1045Please respect copyright.PENANALa8nGqbrKA
I wanted to smile but I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAAFYJIK1q5F
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqvkcwRnD8y
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 1045Please respect copyright.PENANATAWDcRikoD
like we had beef with each other.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzN0z18hJFx
Just as I was about to 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2GLCOoie72
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAuTwRGVxwMP
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 1045Please respect copyright.PENANALuj3biMDuJ
from his pocket and answered it.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPAVBviIqHW
"Hello? Christine?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxpYmtMQe1l
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA81NkYcjIb4
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."1045Please respect copyright.PENANASSMscMF79d
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUVLVmZARnf
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWmCVRxRU5g
"Where is she?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6ruYhJfLqE
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."1045Please respect copyright.PENANArDVIwuMo1S
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANApJFMdD1D6e
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAOahZztqo99
"Who is she with?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFw5RRm0WdF
"We're about to find out. Let's go."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAcKu0dmvyyY
G-Dragon got up from the1045Please respect copyright.PENANACwBQFatDTd
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIoHipmhb95
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWbstvgKga4
When we got in his car, 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2cP8pI5o8E
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAT87UhFQWm7
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANArqyS7qIo8O
looked across towards the café.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAaG6Q3bqoQm
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANArLPKTbB2wS
Through the huge window,1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmidVepGnKq
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIMR2qXQU6V
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 1045Please respect copyright.PENANATHSt5kPqVW
day in the afternoon.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAaZHonBtwvw
I searched for Zoey, but1045Please respect copyright.PENANA5T6QTzfR2K
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 1045Please respect copyright.PENANArPhKPog0MW
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZLUsb1Yacs
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPaLJ6NzTG3
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.1045Please respect copyright.PENANApzPjCoReMG
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlW4yPAa32x
"Who is it?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAv6Q6YwCeTk
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWpcPyNEKbB
"Seriously?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAg9zHE3MtaW
"You think I'm kidding?" I turned to look at him. "Or are you now jealous that Zoey is hanging out with someone who isn't you?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIne5n9FVfM
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."1045Please respect copyright.PENANARCzUymX1kI
I rolled my eyes and 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAz5IWUPtPmF
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXtDSqGl5cM
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2JgJPYoesX
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA8bD33U1qvV
She was sipping her cup 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQpuvm18Mt1
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUq98m1kw3g
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAeDD5bCrRgX
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA5DtLJasKGi
"Ya."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA7L2J9sJjlr
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAceXncdiCXB
Zoey's smile made me 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9b5IDa17q4
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAch1FEJs41o
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAclYt2yFcqt
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzTCrJVFeQN
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQJq3Gb9jiZ
I felt a threat coming 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAI8UK2EFqyD
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqzvP7f3uMd
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdpo25pMvcj
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXSgxjX4XwS
going on in there.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdADDIO7MEc
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdRu2MaYKdb
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA7Nf1F8wRHZ
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlQjuyiWA5Y
Just as G-Dragon came 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqOqeWizvLI
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAE5NIA91FYN
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAU9Qlxgzh2l
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKuml7i9jcc
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAOdbyeTukws
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAEfHRqrXjy1
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUlSlk8eitf
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA82bN5eHyxu
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQWPGVvuwrA
I didn't answer him as I1045Please respect copyright.PENANAGDWBU7eFk5
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFUBUbVjeFz
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 1045Please respect copyright.PENANANjmtEnXO4n
managed to reach the café without getting hit.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA7z0qGfVvS7
When I got to the café, a1045Please respect copyright.PENANAgIS7N2UiEx
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbUyEi1FjEc
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAt420B472Dk
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZaN7wYTEw6
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvdifZQIJS6
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAb1AfvfPMKy
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAI4AZjJ0ahK
"Don't you dare try to 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAJeGGf50dst
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAMl6qggevNy
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjiEV6phf3Z
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKXKUANAkks
"Christine told you where I was?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFiAL8zGssI
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAh68Ru5fDp1
I heard the bell of the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAujDekHknDn
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAb1CocYylba
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAU7wyAEXw9V
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1ujHFcwbvx
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmOGipLdEJ6
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.1045Please respect copyright.PENANARV0bRDIDtP
"Stop taking all this 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYiiNYJytAC
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6I0NMdN8Bm
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAuMCdhzEF5z
The smile on Zoey's face1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWm7kyveovE
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.1045Please respect copyright.PENANABosOj0SGPE
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAinp2xYXRxO
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAu7HiUT9jDt
ourselves.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAEgMtWB5frE
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."1045Please respect copyright.PENANABFQRZfcDS0
"You're right," I said 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjjog7Apu02
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzFC9vhW9gF
attracting so much attention sometimes.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAt7ciqPN3Pr
The others had started 1045Please respect copyright.PENANANq2C1SC4rq
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYEffOPNwBw
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAGXZaNsHyMB
about who he was.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhB75kylqJb
After we left the café, 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbjlR5Pfxr8
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAyXw3cDfzCU
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAEizFVuAROr
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4SFPXRPt3l
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAMCk8gyCHDN
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.1045Please respect copyright.PENANADzpgcp7Q6I
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIYMnLFw6l5
Zoey and I went in 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAApwaMfySO3
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzLuoUKORf1
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlwWtH4GGDw
We were all back in the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANASe8eJ9PVuM
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I1045Please respect copyright.PENANAOKkxdVCICF
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhUBnt3UxBt
We gathered ourselves in1045Please respect copyright.PENANAB0N6sXSOuF
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAY9zL7eBKta
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 1045Please respect copyright.PENANACfaVwkWWju
hands on my hips.1045Please respect copyright.PENANACPnTiP3WPp
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAsn0skmFO60
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYJdgJPvqau
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."1045Please respect copyright.PENANActtDjlBrJ4
"Fine, I tell you," said1045Please respect copyright.PENANA3KRxjGr325
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAkyFkmKQwFz
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAOkSVOwmj8G
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbqV5Pax2zL
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAfDUwnjbOZo
"No, I don't mind," said1045Please respect copyright.PENANAte2Uu4PQcZ
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlQpN2rrKID
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.1045Please respect copyright.PENANApoJTqN0T4z
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhkrFHwsB0F
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYVIUYUKcIU
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmL3MUjtgfc
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmKcJHZkACd
"As much as that sounds 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ8xM2MKYZ
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAA7yycfdKNq
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzpwb3V09i5
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxeJcGlLmYT
I started to tap my foot1045Please respect copyright.PENANAnmWqddNtoP
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA0VvVxQlJc0
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAO9Xae4o4aQ
truth.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAGGHaV5iFyc
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 1045Please respect copyright.PENANARZYAJas7si
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 1045Please respect copyright.PENANADjbRDZVm99
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAP7rwG3DP6U
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAOEpBPFaFDm
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQFkQ9hXkyw
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAv4z9XOFknK
"Okay, okay, eish," said1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKjaVCYxmoO
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 1045Please respect copyright.PENANALDI8JJ3sBJ
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAoGDbXBlSk3
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAf3k8dQHy2j
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANARH79G1ahGb
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYLFiJPPvzn
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAK7nh0o6vIS
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjfxG5S6mnz
Zoey was quiet and I still felt that she wasn't telling us the whole truth. I decided to play along and not say a word.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIAfrGjq2ye
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANARv8ylaiXh3
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAN0gJDoZboR
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9MrQQZcoPA
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAx32ewRyioH
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzSOem4wxVF
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAY3ah3bvXm6
"Are you sure?" Daniel 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAg4CY8Orx2j
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAucnTrSBAI6
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2Dk4FKhqN8
haters or even us."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAGtQMZUVUVL
Daniel was right. Zoey 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAwDbtXzVGGP
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhZJKqaACNF
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAGsznfGeSAo
telling the truth.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWPgOVBHMxz
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAGhpW28bl6s
"A very nice guy that 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIidUHOb0kP
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAEtlQtFDVm3
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAshuiqtt63Q
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxxRq6rBoCN
I didn't want to 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA851flu9isO
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhezxT2Kbpn
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAufYBaVlTwF
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAgM7XBJjDZO
"And not dead," said 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWPDU0NPDzo
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA0GIZnyrC8a
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqFqnz2vQoO
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAezkQ8o0uqw
"And you better get 1045Please respect copyright.PENANASHWoqxoFii
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 1045Please respect copyright.PENANACvjSATDL8C
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWtgbQtHj6r
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYPgUTgp2Yx
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAL66kzH59oK
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFDDfzf4G1p
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAfIPEpk8stZ
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlOhqoBBvlw
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAeen6pozb4C
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA0iDwksfJe3
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.1045Please respect copyright.PENANABRj1SNMF40
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIDeRldDiYO
One by one the BigBang 1045Please respect copyright.PENANALgnAg7fkXr
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA8qnZPa2WhS
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAeSIGoZ6RPS
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.1045Please respect copyright.PENANABsONPxUWea
When I went in my room, I1045Please respect copyright.PENANATe7g39zAP1
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhftVFQ0tbg
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYeZ0EiZmyc
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA7QDbldy2fR
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6D1sVWj3pl
"About what?" I turned to look at her.1045Please respect copyright.PENANALAgi1foQfG
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANACF2glCcgmj
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.1045Please respect copyright.PENANABo1KIgPyIA
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAnJTqCyCBbp
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmytbPen5sq
"Did you see the man's face?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANARP5jWNtR1C
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."1045Please respect copyright.PENANABxTLaVAtaS
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAANvXuJjWLU
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAsxgDdwufSC
"I bet he is good 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAcPPqNiRDLG
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA8skXOhrVug
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAc7VHpMgw8z
told her to?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtfynWajopU
"Well, I believe her on that part. I'm just wondering how he managed to convince her to come with him. Maybe he threatened her?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzRfz3gIYDT
Christine's jaw dropped. "Don't say that. I know there is no any other logical explanation, but I think that's way too far."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2nwAjf46oT
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdzi6dLX07S
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbyRyeWMuZ0
"That we have to find out."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAglFGT2hgkw
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q4OHm4CHO
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhxWpSQcO1e
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAINuCQ6K12m
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAaldeiWkMJM
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAwPyNSTqkop
Oh my. Had he told her 1045Please respect copyright.PENANANLhfHCsOhP
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqsO3YwjDlT
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAb1Oqzyoilc
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1gGCAh96Rg
"What did you talk about?" I asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmd9SVsUtb2
"He was just pissed that1045Please respect copyright.PENANAThmNB3QwuZ
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAo85RRYoNmI
that might have upset me or something."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWh4tzhz37C
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvfLJfgJWli
"But he didn't."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZq5JvotcYC
"I see why Sam asked," 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA5uMvsoeopk
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvophoVSHgL
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAkrvkkCY6fa
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHMK7W6oLKe
And I hope it will never1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFj5VVvu8qI
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhJpuzG7z64
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA7LGi4AFAhM
was yet to come at any moment.1045Please respect copyright.PENANApXMWuYfouM
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA41Ovf7WlDc
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9leua3ZeAa
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIzsQsAYDDi
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.1045Please respect copyright.PENANASPHRLLBGtl
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAP2IB8VuiTK
Christine, Zoey and I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA5U0fpOzQa0
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKqofnz18D5
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4tBLPfjogD
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.1045Please respect copyright.PENANArXzWfzP4vR
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqR0JJKNKNY
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAb2buhTSJfM
"Yes, he is," said Lee 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAdQLdXhY150
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAur2KxnC9AH
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUF1NIHqt7B
well."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFNGaGCgCBG
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA3dmOEcCME9
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAnKrjPsxGuZ
"As I was saying," said Lee. "We were in the lobby when we received a package from the receptionist. Said it was for you guys."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZOgcaSmQ3
"Us?" I asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAwhWcbzwjPa
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAybAlV7qv9N
Christine and I rushed 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAaoarjcs6Tl
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAiPksc44wps
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUrirfGYMRP
hand.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAVSXQqNajws
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXBJvpCfRC0
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAF2ZBmYU9Zh
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA80CbJxhYCA
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAl2BR1leEUr
The package was wrapped in a brown wrapper and on top of it was a white envelope. It was directed to us just as Lee said.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAEnbZ8wrYZB
I took the letter and 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ih7qLTZhE
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWk20mM3vaz
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:1045Please respect copyright.PENANAM7D2DLbmoh
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtxGlZOQZic
"That's it?" Mike asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANACOsZWlMzAs
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQgas6X28KB
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQKVi8gPfov
"All that the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAsXGjrp5LSv
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAJmsdhsGPNS
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."1045Please respect copyright.PENANATF0B9aAKDs
My eyes went wide and my1045Please respect copyright.PENANAS4eg0hoOB9
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWIH5NYGc7t
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbJG8LsnOVr
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPU7WcFWUPg
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAF1YppNPcQ2
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYGnKPt7n85
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAB7na0AEIQ8
We did know him all right. The man who had been with Zoey. But who really was this guy? And this package? What could be in it?1045Please respect copyright.PENANARJa44Yjock
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAgIuN3qnKSt
Christine threw Daniel 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIZkzTrjPXN
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAAtldsv0vh2
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to1045Please respect copyright.PENANAslIBNPLkLo
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZI4JJWoKW
person you barely even knew.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAB1xa7WUpJ3
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAddrERRynt1
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAuCUca2B6GF
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAB4Ex3zGlB1
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANApCOQXfkvAI
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjXA0CSkzU5
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAVcWhZLo5WX
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAhNi48JsaVS
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAf1EDWQ2FBZ
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."1045Please respect copyright.PENANASY4cDowEy7
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYGle0z6Pye
"Okay, but take your 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFeI18Soaio
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAg0c7eGJXBf
last prayers before I leave this earth."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAH76R0BQtk4
I rolled my eyes but I 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKCb1WJfmEF
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,1045Please respect copyright.PENANAKfQgCWFcHd
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAO2yxEdlsf7
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAiVvrxNMdXA
The other three couldn't1045Please respect copyright.PENANAfhQJOwuxUD
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAs2yK4vJqhq
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA6Nk5xLGB44
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtsXEowwQnd
nothing happened.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAB2kjwYaiZ4
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA9O968SqDxS
"What is it?" Christine asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlNCyEd17WC
I looked up at the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAplHNlyeUtn
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXIfIQDW562
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbfC8dyru6T
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvW1PdlNp97
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAT3uqJ7C1jK
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAaJp2Htu0aj
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAeSUqpUnzXd
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.1045Please respect copyright.PENANARfUsOY4XQA
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANArwzDFmADOs
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.1045Please respect copyright.PENANADfTpj4smwp
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAMGhnTrtFrd
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4Sdm5fhaZs
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbh4WpKIlcF
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.1045Please respect copyright.PENANADRG2wo6Zuk
It was then that Zoey 1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4X7nAQw2Eq
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFGgdXWNA7Y
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAeg9yPK7mSY
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4jjCAVbyoD
stranger who she was with today that sent it.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlYHqLD7mwy
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAmPWyRAQEJX
"Zoey will tell you all about it," I said. "I believe this is yours." I gave the teddy bear to Zoey who held it in her hand.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHMehyxiyns
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAJwBrvmS4rX
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvanMggwQqG
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbKgblIyDUo
This time, they laughed 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAOYMTtL5QAX
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQd1MalyOfP
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 1045Please respect copyright.PENANALv0yZzd6dw
reason to laugh along as well. Who knows what the future might hold? You1045Please respect copyright.PENANA8sQy2h6ph2
could die at any given day. We were just glad to be alive and laughing.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbIUIxaloMy
"Stop it, guys," said Zoey with a frown. "This isn't funny." Lee just shook her head in disbelief.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1B7ogZYIQs
"You brought this on yourself, not us," said Mike.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtfY5hJkGOg
"What's with all the laughing?" Collins asked as he came into the lounge.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAXeX6lWJkmT
Zoey held up the bear 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzTCc9d99l1
for Collins to see. It was such a funny site given that Zoey looked like1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYrddRE7tJn
she was about to cry and she held the bear's little arm in between her 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAJUyicqYI2U
fingers that it was dangling in midair. That sent us into another wave 1045Please respect copyright.PENANActa6MvxYLc
of laughter. This time, Mike and Christine were on the floor and Daniel 1045Please respect copyright.PENANAMljmoYO3Xy
fell right beside me on the couch. I laughed so hard my stomach ached.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4XzUUbmOtd
And surprisingly, Collins laughed too.
