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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANATWdUjzDJ9I
I had never been this 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzAMW0vykm8
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvURfUG8FMr
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAoXoji09t4S
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAB84PTrH3m1
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeGYWMjyIqe
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6SOuPTNPC8
"Sam!"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgX4pVnCtxI
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZmEWWcEm8
Zoey came out of the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEfKwQBkvV7
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVAiz1wEDWF
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhJA6bBkKos
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbd6Hcgingr
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANApf8kXcoeWb
"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."1002Please respect copyright.PENANASOluDoRXzM
"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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1t1Lrj3F8D
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbrO2aU8nMK
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYsfl0XLlNS
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVk5Mblqrpl
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAPwDzBeJMRd
I ignored her and said, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4e1fP08s38
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEvPdrUFje5
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA00g8mlXgxp
"What time is it?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJD62Vf5xP8
"10:35."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuo10Nuoz2E
"Wow, time really passes by."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3fGWbUpZu3
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvCO8kHFiqO
"Let me go get my phone."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdMZsabWWqW
Zoey rushed back to the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWyuK9yiwKw
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGD3JAe5Mdu
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,1002Please respect copyright.PENANAT2MWanjmrp
that was Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzLtV5VMUIf
I soon received a 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAs1g5oJ9KDz
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAozb8LlUKIr
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 1002Please respect copyright.PENANATo19svxBrR
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIMPBq7jnlc
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"1002Please respect copyright.PENANALduVxyXD3R
"I'm coming."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIU7734njPN
I started heading 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAndAaYYElqu
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANABNK8RzRv0d
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8pgM05ZPjv
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuyxMZNT3pq
number. A number coming from another country.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlkQDKcpcSZ
"Oh, who is this?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbJwv3zkZTS
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAf0gRmdyVnZ
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvAKWLUJOAf
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4moNguf9c2
"Come on, we're already late."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAldjqQu2fMC
We went into the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmyRdvjjKdJ
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMrnAofkYzz
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmdvbQPof8n
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhKXbnd7RoU
When we got to YG, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnBF4BXq8Nu
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5xBL9jqZBa
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.1002Please respect copyright.PENANArVitGGJpID
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqiTd3BV2fh
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAJVoeuuurq
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA81hZZxilxk
Zoey held her earlobes 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmi2rBLacQS
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcKPH77d6QC
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANApVmyp4tZSI
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdBEGTjhvxY
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYSOdyoNNmX
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJb0BYspBbe
"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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHyUYYzBFfr
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvF6Z2o9l7y
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.1002Please respect copyright.PENANASWh6eulfq1
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.1002Please respect copyright.PENANACfsWYanq3d
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAM6MmgSvCfd
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1WWuas3Nj9
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgHKk9jUBsW
"Then let's do so," said1002Please respect copyright.PENANAz36X8bi0UG
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,1002Please respect copyright.PENANArSRz2TAvw0
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvxaSCPH9da
I had completely forgot 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyk1QazExuv
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFRgwgnXUOu
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtzqTNn4Iw0
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAl5V8HamZP5
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXOry8f7Z47
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."1002Please respect copyright.PENANABkovYB4bio
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAf07hZuHDfi
In the live room, there 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtWCtSg4dPe
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeXHNWgbNoZ
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAl1S09CjyBr
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMWyC2SVXIF
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcyjyntD6jY
I looked at the others 1002Please respect copyright.PENANALI0U5FlLn5
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyxx3msL705
producer started to play the tune for the song.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAn7W8oQrJ4A
G-Dragon started to sing1002Please respect copyright.PENANALE7gHt1Jk3
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAItkmcHEFpq
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdZxUJEJBpj
to let them sing the first verse together.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2VaKBJbbWd
Collins, the music 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAa4N0YCdZc9
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.1002Please respect copyright.PENANANPGqv0Zxbx
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXrWMJAL9Rc
Christine then sang the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwUHrA0ZM7M
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbSjbhCCR95
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA77VsKhFFjv
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXzvonSsjSc
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAv1t6LK6oA
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAoCVjiTYguF
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."1002Please respect copyright.PENANARpFEh0UtWf
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAX5njqYxHQH
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMzZ0RKjZWj
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuNaiYxXsiG
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgSlQMTuICd
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANARn1ryX0kWK
"You may," said Collins,1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdqJb4FV1w5
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbQgZFtnwRl
You have to work on the backup vocals."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAj5LPKRGq9j
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOQx61mBZbQ
If I hadn't known 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiKaN82VtDe
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlH8VEa5mQN
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and1002Please respect copyright.PENANAty4Os59daK
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZjrQ1vZJnD
hollow inside.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAs7cihLtwcI
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyeMfVRotXe
We continued recording 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAo1hsmC6j5z
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiMgTvIfbbE
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0lVPOJiek8
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbM6zoHRzfV
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuFaMq1eKyS
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAM5BGtkKcZf
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXnlhIli2WW
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZUqi0SjfTA
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAccIS6500U0
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiMRGLUgZl7
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAguwNcshlRa
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.1002Please respect copyright.PENANABfp9PaYE5h
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7XOkgjl0n5
"But be back within an hour."1002Please respect copyright.PENANANR82OTfLeh
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAs9hLlPcVU1
"Fine, an hour and a half."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzLUtnNdJtF
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAW8u2CEpdKq
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXl3yBJvQCF
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAV5kL2Z9kvN
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7qXlvd8H99
"That, my friend," said 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKV054AwRvq
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuzILr8msBH
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."1002Please respect copyright.PENANApR6c6u6Gdc
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2zG5OPQC1F
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAoTYLIHCHW6
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuSHAl6ebOt
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUh2QD0hjlc
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUoiRchwyRs
"Whenever you want us to1002Please respect copyright.PENANA72SgQZvbQ0
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdHvU5GJAv2
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAKDv1CiKUk
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.1002Please respect copyright.PENANABoTfnuRgvA
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAh6LIClpGxe
"Huh," I thought of all 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmvCLtJlK3z
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAD314NTxhVO
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfKzkUoN5eo
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.PENANATJD3KCYURE
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.1002Please respect copyright.PENANADfgTHSxCJj
"Come on, Sam," said 1002Please respect copyright.PENANABQajpmhWou
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0BNZzyM9ca
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtODbZEt6aV
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqIYNacP6cd
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAF4Q8iUAtXl
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMrVBaHrgbk
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqKXV3nTnY3
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAl5MAVqcxn6
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbeMZAzcLOV
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyDoje2rViw
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdZlEXPCa0r
"They aren't here," I said.1002Please respect copyright.PENANArzuIE7kC1e
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8cJNsO4opZ
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwIlRCKwpdX
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzvEb2wu9NV
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8aqLa9G0Rw
I nodded my head and we 1002Please respect copyright.PENANANFZIDXeL1L
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8P0c6Fmxc
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJo7rC49rme
We were in the lobby and1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3eENLFlG2B
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlkXje1lfam
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbqxXJ2oEpC
morning.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtAJDqq0bXZ
I first sent Zoey a text1002Please respect copyright.PENANABPYOMjXnJ5
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 1002Please respect copyright.PENANATxiY9TBRyo
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHydJypjjKA
"Hey, what are you looking at?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8m7Ha1rOfs
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJbP1Z9Rk7e
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAijEQdKwILC
"Okay, shall we go?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAj4TTIzWPIs
"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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnlnZH7FOW0
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdQcnR7fGGp
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcmhrTUPGV1
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5hUvjx4Hz4
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.PENANALuw0S3XSm6
Instead of using any one1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8diNwua8sp
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 1002Please respect copyright.PENANApn4c2kZdVr
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuTioXuSjwX
attention, especially from the customers.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAf74lFyJF5O
I had to admit, the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANApt7aZ5FRD8
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmDbk41xwWD
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuwAbWFIdD5
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1XILkqLqTa
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzR5lZlZcT5
A smartly dressed 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGDQ8Kmgotn
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4QSaNbrx4z
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAjcjxLdHnll
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhdr5EJzuAy
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnpFJywaGnh
We were escorted to a 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkYWIPqEkQ7
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZH60JD9cD6
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3CnqEeVnNE
TOP pulled a chair for 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAajiO4ceQaB
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeAbASlRHpu
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAW59p1aAPzw
beside her.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQTdZLiAOeL
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.1002Please respect copyright.PENANATpJKhARUzS
"Tell me about it," said Christine.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlHsCxtxj4g
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAT23kaqIuqg
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANArxm4Iec5xK
"So, let's order," said Daesung.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUk45yEBIK5
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.1002Please respect copyright.PENANATf95L9OLNU
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAU5YyoJRdI9
As we were having our 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwb9Re8cJQa
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our1002Please respect copyright.PENANABPd6Cil3in
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAazZpOSrPVQ
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 1002Please respect copyright.PENANALdafDOtrnM
having fun wherever they were.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3j4KA24VQ3
While I was having my 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFw4x77P39b
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtnzoHaCnqZ
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgfOIww0yPW
unknown number had sent me a message again.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqRdVMNHfsK
I tapped on the message 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAa5aWSf9zPF
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7xGWIxn97c
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwLNk3Vsnqc
the next message was more surprising.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIiyxKA5Jj2
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANATTIImiZsa0
Anything about what was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6ospLIPtsE
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAldZehwiuvb
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhkLuzfx56w
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOdPjYrWeHD
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAjg5NzEdpNR
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9V8UEHLLkV
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsKJdshy1ah
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfRgBItq2Nz
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUNogGfDp8j
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANApJZmdSBj59
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.1002Please respect copyright.PENANANRyBIbD7m4
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKiy7o9L6xN
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAu4uKR2qtGV
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAM5c2WVi0JE
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5dxaCkub11
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYdDwcNEaPI
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAo4OMNZWhSq
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXBayC4ZyCB
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5cqijAnEkG
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAemo2skk2fI
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."1002Please respect copyright.PENANADZwiJ1gX1M
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKa3DcamqV2
"Can we please stop 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEfOz1VMwTO
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKNoA4fwcpj
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkZq8d7OyWG
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAU7vzl9InE4
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcbqbGJQLdg
"No, let me," said 1002Please respect copyright.PENANANSpGHg9MA6
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzx4iBWpMgq
allow her to say what she wanted to say.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhXjY4UKYNG
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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANARcYswGpfBL
"Because, Collins gave 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUNE8vLHudp
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQpE7ihkcHI
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMqeNz3K0CP
Never."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIaIzQM5fdu
There was silence on the1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHHVR4tNPNJ
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGfAexw88AR
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwnzDrEbh6B
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcxVnMVkZV8
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAT6co6LYrmN
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEirFchasTt
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.1002Please respect copyright.PENANADgmJzCXr5o
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAr8TT1bMFZZ
"It's serious to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWm7OV1XO0r
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANABZMt9qJkwD
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhcv3HOd0wz
babies."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUeNn6mkN5g
That was odd coming out 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0ozVv0mf6V
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAW11SgUupvW
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEM1QuRucWK
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOFDKaDzT0v
laps.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVBdQGZqgBJ
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAb6J6Dj16UJ
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYXOjPKmszG
I really did. Something 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAL4jnZreQHj
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2B4F7AVtfs
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdwniuB6mwD
"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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAws2lU9q2Z6
I quickly closed the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8rhl72ra2C
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlWJv9mDXuQ
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAP3PRlJbJ0c
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ5STfJUwQ
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJQjA4tMTsE
I shook my head and I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeMUKoUvsmF
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6u3jtUrUDG
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiCtRV2Fcic
supposed to care. But I did.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAM8wtizvPil
I looked at myself and I1002Please respect copyright.PENANARAu4TzLT3P
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHAmDBSdLM6
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8BXLgrKPX8
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 1002Please respect copyright.PENANADihdC5WcLH
things and focus on what's really important.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXzwZEBbbnz
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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2nHsaNUAxn
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6HzTFITO9X
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZIITBV2rfI
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.1002Please respect copyright.PENANATWKkeUTty0
I gulped. What had these1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKGBzYymKvk
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAohWoZTDDHO
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA05EOTnyCPi
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsHhWgWci0H
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAncIzTEoYBU
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuj2TjrJR8C
"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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAb6x4fgIjVg
While Christine was one 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4EmZCYztdL
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAf7XaE9LDjd
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUTj29rw6AO
worse.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAPTKoADESVZ
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHKMca4JnCs
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkjnQgz1MpH
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgIaK0oGb5H
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAc3gR1n4kHj
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAk2NldTWNkP
I blushed. "Mike!"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ59EpMRd6
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAinPxDuDO0r
"I've tried kissing 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyoCDCXsMQb
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqC6UTlxdPs
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKQKTNNaxL9
"Uhh, if I were you, I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAk9FMtrrpHB
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAykXrya5uz3
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsRi7eE7bpm
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAT4Rc9jBc2g
regretting it."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAv4InvcPpiQ
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9zsfr3Vjjp
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAicnyJ19snM
"Fine, I'll listen to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4sqdEEEPM7
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyjp8TGDeGe
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGJfA5tkR0F
blushed.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYwsMBLEmnD
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAU35R9aCuYi
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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5hC2pqIHNs
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyRmjQRwKTU
We got to YG just in 1002Please respect copyright.PENANABtxPjve7H7
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeADhgYZM0q
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmzLWW7XcDl
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4ZGHHih8i
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAa1anwZzkML
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHq0sl5s33p
I couldn't help but feel1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaBLh1nA9Ni
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaw3g7SKk0U
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Ma0mhGA5
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHHwwgwAGQq
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJcxc4BsMO8
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAjlyVHUhs0w
I felt something inside 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbVKWhkMZ62
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcO0OyZJPOd
couldn't believe what I was hearing.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAW38MOWO41n
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxZDPFo1oWq
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaqx8RiNUz3
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQJmAY8nH6D
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGsj8UbdNBx
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJXIgdyGuZZ
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4hRaafvyng
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwQk0irY0xV
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWLROaYLB5B
"Then?" TOP asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAorCY78apbQ
"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."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuyS4QZSQRw
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbmB7LHQxOA
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdatKaHssz0
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmvl91rocJ5
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAx8UTa6zJ5c
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJnCBINHDX6
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwSgmbXnsqF
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANANPz2MVLFw4
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhwOprfrm1Z
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAu2hALCDUNC
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAr0rA5B46EB
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJcSzeBoGmd
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkCZYWuExGU
I couldn't help but 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOdeCnUfFHI
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtMhb4XMTGu
not telling us what was really going on?1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxS4YKnVaUx
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaTTX8hXvLh
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqz5V0yyoIT
"We've to look for her," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAixwE7Nw0Ph
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1SSXyZ2QBQ
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQ64DUce6F3
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFdpVhT7uZR
"Did someone say my name?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfkJL4k93De
I cringed. He was one 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAL0AQp6WpBu
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIgCtbHNAgL
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAK8LCMGIcxU
the music producer.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA15KCDarosY
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhPmqSXKqhn
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAjwbZxQgFKa
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGyxcxtwUCG
"Looks like you aren't 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAF4QHwdB0iI
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAANHsiUfvbg
away from us and heading towards the console.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtYMuXRoK9R
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAy1Bm4uhN6l
I looked at the others 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3mBeFSaXHQ
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 1002Please respect copyright.PENANALsCPO2hSbD
something or else we would be toast.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAF1jrozqMmN
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiulhFdye3v
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAp11gqJv4n9
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANADGYsGyOdaf
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0PiK56NCuz
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUGIP0ZFhM5
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVclOHIcqAu
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANATTbIAWEqko
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVTIRP8U7NK
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1xPExqJgov
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvpLqttOpkz
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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlmVm7i6txE
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1d8OwFBQ2u
Mike and Daniel almost 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAP0DwOfSf0e
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0BxNILTVMD
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhuJcy4uigt
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAddW4w0b8Wj
"That's fine," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGwFbhk6J7v
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7wRmc32uhc
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtpDPD3IRTs
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANApSX8jV0SFg
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlwopKb2Kyv
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."1002Please respect copyright.PENANArMhLvPaCek
Christine was doing the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANADJZuZowvyz
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious1002Please respect copyright.PENANAon9oNFhjmu
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEFbKVsP5R3
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyQi0wMyo4B
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvJsMoKgBWa
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVeWQUTfDnB
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmVL5LLxHhU
I wanted to ask where, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIAqT92F0JF
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsJvf6r8cwA
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the1002Please respect copyright.PENANAl7w2HKw20T
music producer soon left.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzNQlKZ97K1
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyZPv3mSEcy
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.1002Please respect copyright.PENANApkxbctjfhO
"Ya, we should," I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcUWa4TlDuU
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkvPjEiq4gK
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ5QHpkwvF
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2myXLOHgrS
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAhdETr1gAp
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA881PAOg6Lj
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVewfOqs9Sn
As soon as we left the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANALmkORuCCei
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGhFqgpc9Ht
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4ahtb7bcnk
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeRwt3sabwq
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbgZ8G5guCc
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1LFIJ96ezM
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA04xGLl0yh3
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnnEhwA79m1
G-Dragon drove away and 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfhXPu1JCbs
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcNDjT5oE64
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAV8dqb57Pfj
"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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ni7fEffss
"What?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0LKLPVsfWK
"Did you two argue?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5EUGTEPvha
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAq6E6q0DIU6
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHdDpxQ4Qp7
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuqWgBeskxC
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWf95sYPeWK
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.1002Please respect copyright.PENANATlqIu97kJJ
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtWtGQONurR
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfFqiDs265Z
With quick strides, I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANASyCDhMx8IT
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAP2JqwMO4uP
could look at him directly in his face.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAG1WlarVJa8
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqZPAe6nUbL
"I want you to tell me the truth."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKD6dKUGjFW
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlV91Ap0yIX
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgAh9Ds1nhM
G-Dragon chuckled and 1002Please respect copyright.PENANADETFKY723l
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6xZXcPdwe3
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAde09SDMRg1
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAucKkO172FV
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."1002Please respect copyright.PENANApDZZQZBVuK
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2h0q0gHhC4
"And how do you know?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfdmQa1Jv7R
"I'm her best friend. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANABffJ39p3sP
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQwGAslNDk9
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."1002Please respect copyright.PENANADf4CWMnwwP
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAoT2Zc922kR
"Zoey can't end her 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6kh543OAbK
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAoQiJUHAibv
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 1002Please respect copyright.PENANApXS1DdrZK7
you did something."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMTKlW13YS2
"Me?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWKuFx24wAd
"Da! Yes, you!"1002Please respect copyright.PENANACGHUNiVQhx
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsbY1nJGo7E
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnmOqLXjmsK
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOTFQpVeeZj
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAPpDmll62TK
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."1002Please respect copyright.PENANApqfH4JWPLQ
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4K0VYznynz
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6dahrGJEz0
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbbYes75DFb
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANABDYeYIXyhD
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvrJmVkIFA1
"Ya. Sure."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAf0ftinw6g0
"Now, will you please 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyfCGb9qscg
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnWi804wXWK
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhDJzBc8zVz
interview."1002Please respect copyright.PENANADkpeAYZlxL
I didn't say anything, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIHwIdUipaY
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYoKcS3Bu9Y
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZgsbzON6ni
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZU2Ivvx81Q
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZRvpXTUiu
but nothing.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2rtM0nTvur
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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFUoOA2qLU4
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWb0d3uNMoR
"I'm not," I said as I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYN5vA2ZRSy
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsskBw3iw71
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAACIXCz4PjR
G-Dragon sat down beside1002Please respect copyright.PENANASCAW4acZVN
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhIZF4Rl5hY
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1hY6WBzcnv
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful1002Please respect copyright.PENANActf9Epu2Lh
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.1002Please respect copyright.PENANABW3I1uNIgf
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAv3nHWJ5yxb
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4dVP9jm1Fu
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA56KMWkzwFL
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9VmLqGXPtw
"You love nature, don't you?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANASyUqJFcl04
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmYM3L4LfCE
At that moment, I was so1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdlAo1Rul4x
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEOSMRLBxqj
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZT7UdlgAgy
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because1002Please respect copyright.PENANAjeb4RpNRtT
even the noise around me seemed non existent.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZkzbQ3khVZ
Then I felt something 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQRig6Y5G8S
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvwz6qCq5c8
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9St5VjK0RG
was staring at me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvvA8AFZKSe
"What?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA32kxQ1sYoQ
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4YIxvAFdjf
I blushed all of the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAo3ip6rGVL8
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAS2B1oUCljt
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAq7WMHJmKdz
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAn556Tcmf0B
I would have said yes to1002Please respect copyright.PENANAx5OoG3YxNP
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAApg3eOe8aj
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaE4G2hG0YB
were never meant to be.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAN4OYvOeKIc
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFoFJPiACcE
"Why?" He asked softly.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbc4Siq0cau
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaBpfP4L7yl
"What do you mean?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIcVeFgxACS
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAi5kBJU3rrQ
"So?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFhbWeU62nB
"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."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuPO8vLwIDD
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAM2f23kIDwT
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnYwU9Gc0DV
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1NNoXuGdSF
"I know."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbwK3uNAqFN
"Then why are you doing this?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAo0yqrtiGBg
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0QSDdvGc7H
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOmQptRzIOj
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmW9KgIxvET
"You should find another1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQp8qS7REhi
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 1002Please respect copyright.PENANARG3BB1dqs3
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAf3S7ycqI4I
will never forgive myself."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAciDEr3IMGy
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."1002Please respect copyright.PENANACEB2ab9iZK
I wanted to smile but I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJhtddIRCtQ
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3e0CWSBrLA
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUjwD0TMqrU
like we had beef with each other.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAF1hTysIMmr
Just as I was about to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0UrMazQR0L
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXD3i6a3Puq
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWMYcRVL8E1
from his pocket and answered it.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyn4s6rv2JW
"Hello? Christine?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzb0PNHYn3m
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAENibe1mDF9
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnP0v5k9UFn
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAjjK4upaYVz
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAshp8whSzcq
"Where is she?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXuBUymFIlA
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0fnpjhOdWT
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzqhd6uIGQJ
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAc5MAWmoypR
"Who is she with?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtCd53GmtSh
"We're about to find out. Let's go."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAprAMjGE0Hl
G-Dragon got up from the1002Please respect copyright.PENANANYVFICRaRI
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 1002Please respect copyright.PENANALYEF4iOUeX
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.1002Please respect copyright.PENANACgTB4eEnJa
When we got in his car, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAznW6dR97pY
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFc18RssXiL
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAv4Eosux7bi
looked across towards the café.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAb0UWvk3fJE
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXcPNxZEaEN
Through the huge window,1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYqcrGRMYFb
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIerjx0s4kw
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyQK857bSIu
day in the afternoon.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAytvU9MKbOs
I searched for Zoey, but1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8SPSdTbu8P
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAi1k5ssxM6k
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGWVurs9pci
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,1002Please respect copyright.PENANAoLnsemJWq2
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmqBIG7EFDc
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAq8kBqFPcaM
"Who is it?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQoxGU3cQiR
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA67WKJfYNIy
"Seriously?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANApKxscrOUvO
"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?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4eLWwn8eA3
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtIkVLb4Icv
I rolled my eyes and 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAXxgoFx2sC
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 1002Please respect copyright.PENANApPcYAsv6F4
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUOihg68az9
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcjLRkbjCJw
She was sipping her cup 1002Please respect copyright.PENANArt5OsQPseB
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzCng7JFqav
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAr3Sy50o5fG
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.1002Please respect copyright.PENANArloaCNUi0U
"Ya."1002Please respect copyright.PENANALhRzNNHlS7
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4MwF34JQNV
Zoey's smile made me 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyELHuiCTMR
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAq4x8Ikk2oC
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGaTgxAgpgd
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8zqysYkPaM
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2nbbK4IWHY
I felt a threat coming 1002Please respect copyright.PENANARdf5KVxn1w
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmwXwEV07hE
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAge77IbWK8Y
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANArbFQcJzoIx
going on in there.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAx8l58vbb7V
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMsE6bgcqJj
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtVW2DnUYKa
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsUyZnXo2UZ
Just as G-Dragon came 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9XpILo5lmi
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1hWqMsZzUx
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5pypfplLIY
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAA9O2uG7Ugp
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgDRhWo2BVF
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsVMhJctIwP
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKpA9u5isni
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAngxXlL0wPQ
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANATEGEQEpxWK
I didn't answer him as I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOUj4CAp7ky
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA17d7iOx1ik
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVf4a6lTRy9
managed to reach the café without getting hit.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlWxpFdXozE
When I got to the café, a1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcyF6LEEJje
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 1002Please respect copyright.PENANASpc6nHMBhw
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAn11TniAWTM
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.1002Please respect copyright.PENANASFWAP4bsAU
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA83yOFnDUTT
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHrbFVWes6E
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlF1NTPErSa
"Don't you dare try to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGjEmusThtu
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwIagWOOuRL
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAftOSxKEHmL
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYwCvLrHEXH
"Christine told you where I was?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwIPMx5AYyD
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAPiJnUS9MkZ
I heard the bell of the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2p615lmA6G
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiyFKYGZEPl
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnPnIbZFi8F
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhuh6jypFef
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.1002Please respect copyright.PENANARVBFi58XmV
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8n04OHBM9C
"Stop taking all this 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeIfaCmp5r9
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkC1qpPIjoo
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvtCS27IPeX
The smile on Zoey's face1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6dNVDF6jh8
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZF6rzXefn4
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvmnDiUxjm8
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0h7XOok7gO
ourselves.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAka2eAxgeEM
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvwEBPhO91s
"You're right," I said 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWAuBMfsIlx
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated1002Please respect copyright.PENANAd1AWAhvkF4
attracting so much attention sometimes.1002Please respect copyright.PENANALtNVl8pzot
The others had started 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcyeHqp7YbK
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAYFep9nt93
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 1002Please respect copyright.PENANADKopACQhMk
about who he was.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcIokmhI8Bu
After we left the café, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANATR5UJ4N1Sx
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdpWGHa9p0K
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOphlxGIINi
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQjRCkF0L8r
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWZnAoV4XSA
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAAHOcKN9gu
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."1002Please respect copyright.PENANABRhPsnPNqD
Zoey and I went in 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAs02FG97BZK
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5jWpxGwoZu
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsbMS3Qh1pq
We were all back in the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAATyUVdkcMc
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzPi7OAjx6f
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuYSdtIDNi3
We gathered ourselves in1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnzfsdpGeTz
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7GgI7u16H2
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQfTgnikfPJ
hands on my hips.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAooyFdBpT2U
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAPjreIXQukT
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3GKXjU751v
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyAUi6EhSuL
"Fine, I tell you," said1002Please respect copyright.PENANAC95DhV0JPO
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvhN2CwfSkG
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWDr1aoLuj4
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAldBhXFABLX
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA93ldJAT9ba
"No, I don't mind," said1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0iUgqyoqxv
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsYOhUphAWY
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUy5lXjuPJJ
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdcMjO9wX5J
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAV4C8j4voxy
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.1002Please respect copyright.PENANASjIxYtBUB1
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMnl5crg7SV
"As much as that sounds 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzsCHl07pyP
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnRiVVTJt1d
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAnWCkzennq
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhNaLO4Hhqt
I started to tap my foot1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfzQ2yhfGuP
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6lfElfYamo
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4nA3O8gxzK
truth.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaXPjgcWZgm
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWSkjUSJnPs
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJRZmcr2Zp5
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAfRA4BJ060
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."1002Please respect copyright.PENANANHRu380GLn
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZKewtAiYGV
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3QHVqxVH9B
"Okay, okay, eish," said1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXylTXmizMX
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6Mhud8W5iB
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8zZOCTOE2H
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkyETxNMZIC
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAizXsEmAosn
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAB1u7NCNwhx
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANApWCFn9QOKC
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAs0HsD7WdMF
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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdL07ijvHic
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5wf6MsjeYe
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAL0V2AxTjas
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAKTQXI5D1Z
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFNygMQNZSY
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANADPouD6HOBo
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbnRm5lr7B4
"Are you sure?" Daniel 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAv9VL0emhkU
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA99ge3CEgvQ
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHO8xsOOoHe
haters or even us."1002Please respect copyright.PENANANCgwWPitJ5
Daniel was right. Zoey 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAo60fzsixTt
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAotr2EqlJLr
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANADeBJYprbgQ
telling the truth.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAg5WGXuSPdX
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA30wrJROuY0
"A very nice guy that 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAs1BNT0XNvQ
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfsT6JfjOFE
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAULuDAaJ3Er
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOtXN2yXK0H
I didn't want to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEitdit9ADh
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVzeBtP3cpo
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvSbANy2pP6
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAT5PhkJgmSt
"And not dead," said 1002Please respect copyright.PENANABPx79dwYul
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEAEp0CgtHc
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeBAnMLFPrz
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5E6dB0Bqx
"And you better get 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1t76BOa9mR
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVGWpAbYwAw
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHcxhDsLIPK
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAjMEjpCroRA
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgx4HDPOKIR
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZZAv6MThpY
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAS7mQ24IE86
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3k4LsCGkLW
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAh5v8VK3PnE
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8oahXD3NTW
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8er2kzJ8FU
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAo0FX468lih
One by one the BigBang 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAo5dzOuwXS6
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0VCoWGNXxI
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHZMMbEuqWR
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUq2OPTtOSS
When I went in my room, I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJwnjdQPqYy
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbOVbZyxFJ6
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6PrXIoKEVg
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAoZdaNWoJvE
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwWB8R6AIRB
"About what?" I turned to look at her.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFrMsbRzM96
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANA89bJuRjqyM
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vi9wfbNKq
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAU4e1rUzmFh
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."1002Please respect copyright.PENANALedJ8tYyY8
"Did you see the man's face?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANADBPc6Hp3wp
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAM9ithvCtrE
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVFZud2GY7b
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9GYXQMcTrV
"I bet he is good 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqNtq7wn5RS
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4jqZZmFiCF
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQWA32aWYhR
told her to?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxNef1CJ0EI
"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?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANACmsSnqnUUV
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."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwGePPmHNLk
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaa0PrwRIhg
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAe3QS3KiKiM
"That we have to find out."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtbBu19tTn8
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAH83T5KW2K5
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnzWfXvTSF2
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAX7Agh3aFiK
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAN2XSFv7bAt
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5LaXy2a6v
Oh my. Had he told her 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeM9TfCfVR2
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgKLEybkWdI
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAj5xE2DWseI
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA73bgacCIGN
"What did you talk about?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEKRia3hqlK
"He was just pissed that1002Please respect copyright.PENANAt9knHyJ9mI
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJp7rIJzlk1
that might have upset me or something."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiTEk3nDSDM
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAoFH3Qpokhp
"But he didn't."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAntIXeKaTEX
"I see why Sam asked," 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzibTgqfCrH
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9wM2NsivG9
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeLvGtTHFTs
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5kT7rxmgoP
And I hope it will never1002Please respect copyright.PENANATkpREyVDMo
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 1002Please respect copyright.PENANALHGfX7mjWj
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYsSEvsBHle
was yet to come at any moment.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvJaEExks9w
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA68TIzRUqz5
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQlBQUCsNgi
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA66YdmXLkjx
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHj7wmLwQk1
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."1002Please respect copyright.PENANARro159KSeb
Christine, Zoey and I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFkgqhbhjcV
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFca5QkxYeW
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdT4FkVHfA7
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2JZfwxNiJl
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3iNp859B3N
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAXK1XbqWZI
"Yes, he is," said Lee 1002Please respect copyright.PENANArwmDSjYCzB
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANANrfYfImYO8
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYvtbOInlMW
well."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAc7fGMNz8UN
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkvAFkeCGpF
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFPzNY7bhrZ
"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."1002Please respect copyright.PENANALxF3IUgD65
"Us?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAD0b2FLVJv3
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFtutoj4Vok
Christine and I rushed 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkKkfjfBDUv
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuoWeFwJD6f
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his1002Please respect copyright.PENANAatI8aq11C1
hand.1002Please respect copyright.PENANApoeNhyOVxM
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhwb7R54jGx
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4j5xFnU4ka
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfloSnf3jXl
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFpn36Iskxe
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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAm5R2ui6D0Q
I took the letter and 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYn7EU97vyR
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove1002Please respect copyright.PENANACAVeGI5oxR
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIMjKtBYN34
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdtKMMGTrz0
"That's it?" Mike asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfrSP5bhlFW
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbJfRzTBHif
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgwb3gV3JQj
"All that the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkEn0Nchp9U
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkDTqifttwb
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYQR6fma6Zl
My eyes went wide and my1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUrMGPkznjB
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6dfccJJcG1
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYWzwkTFXYA
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGm6L6aeM4q
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXgIdrHHrxN
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKLFaJv9yrv
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAczQMOh4CMx
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?1002Please respect copyright.PENANAPISnrXsS41
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtsvriBEZrV
Christine threw Daniel 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA40dCH2IGKv
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8Tybif1I4y
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to1002Please respect copyright.PENANAK2ceYwr9AH
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYbUdTp6Rju
person you barely even knew.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQTRfaXc4Rl
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0HejU5899z
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.1002Please respect copyright.PENANADRkqdgcK3K
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7aotjB8s81
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qel4MqzBM
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAX938fTMiPI
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANArvLdIQ9cOb
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAG0NYJVaduF
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.1002Please respect copyright.PENANADDUp3XFf25
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAoh6YQBaJep
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."1002Please respect copyright.PENANATzQ0Xn1Xen
"Okay, but take your 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7qB7V7xucw
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 1002Please respect copyright.PENANABoWyA7Faii
last prayers before I leave this earth."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGL6tYOTWtA
I rolled my eyes but I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOffo8jl8Do
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEQQLNqasDt
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0ENYs36irk
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAv5YM98lnQp
The other three couldn't1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkmjSD4BxBB
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxR8HTecBd0
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 1002Please respect copyright.PENANABeXcC8v3sc
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJHkGG5kEst
nothing happened.1002Please respect copyright.PENANASllH1lB6XN
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWy5Ij9Eaeq
"What is it?" Christine asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANART9rcHs0gx
I looked up at the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0M7H2vVtbS
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 1002Please respect copyright.PENANALsmmDslN6X
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIFFwrL356J
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.1002Please respect copyright.PENANALu0JEzGdFy
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.1002Please respect copyright.PENANABNruIF5wzE
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAn7o54x1Jhx
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOOU79HdaYy
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiePK3Zl8gl
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4iGplvjOh
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.1002Please respect copyright.PENANALBeStfmg1a
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1W0s4UOhj9
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAm5FOkBUFUq
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4xEDbbOfgs
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGHJpOIfa6K
It was then that Zoey 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIBYg4fRK3N
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdSUGzvIkDE
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANADNqyPsKG7a
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFpec4CzTl8
stranger who she was with today that sent it.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA12ltK7yCJE
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdxUmqQE2F5
"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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0GSe8imqr6
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWxBSe7lPuE
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAoVEc6ZeOJL
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAb0bBu2m7OC
This time, they laughed 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9EIWDmKxZ
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqGUjxdCw8A
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAI8HP4IZUun
reason to laugh along as well. Who knows what the future might hold? You1002Please respect copyright.PENANAN2PffcPVwp
could die at any given day. We were just glad to be alive and laughing.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgATuaHjOny
"Stop it, guys," said Zoey with a frown. "This isn't funny." Lee just shook her head in disbelief.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAN70GsJkncF
"You brought this on yourself, not us," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAONfKGH0FUQ
"What's with all the laughing?" Collins asked as he came into the lounge.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwZvlLswkWi
Zoey held up the bear 1002Please respect copyright.PENANABSwRwiRWKP
for Collins to see. It was such a funny site given that Zoey looked like1002Please respect copyright.PENANAU4dHgcunjK
she was about to cry and she held the bear's little arm in between her 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsfuialWyj9
fingers that it was dangling in midair. That sent us into another wave 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXIYYeS0Gw0
of laughter. This time, Mike and Christine were on the floor and Daniel 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYPUe9uWGyO
fell right beside me on the couch. I laughed so hard my stomach ached.1002Please respect copyright.PENANADGyrAgk0A0
And surprisingly, Collins laughed too.
