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.
