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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHZIAw5Wrzl
I had never been this 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsWb9WyJnlc
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA31bhauVIA1
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6CcXS2wvvQ
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAbMlo5L0H3t
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAkaEZOnUsBx
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9b8DResPpr
"Sam!"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAUsDKGznMrq
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.1065Please respect copyright.PENANANHqh4XSWPc
Zoey came out of the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAKaW1it3s3d
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAQPPKT6Bbw
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAchDCXzDXPu
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAR83mzPVAaN
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmbaFwzlRnS
"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."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1UhRIqkDlS
"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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJszb2uDold
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIoRL6OIVmO
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXTVbywJfv5
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsrC7xUDjKT
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.1065Please respect copyright.PENANANaLQguojTw
I ignored her and said, 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7nfeiWXufy
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.1065Please respect copyright.PENANATkvhgvT3V4
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAkWVm39GVIc
"What time is it?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANARl4GGHTcK9
"10:35."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAdUqqNHXbPN
"Wow, time really passes by."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAOkYDaUqLSR
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAnn9OAzu1Y2
"Let me go get my phone."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjAuelagwb5
Zoey rushed back to the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAbkd9cjPsKC
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing1065Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ52dtLiaL
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAN0hZYPvpR
that was Zoey.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIPDMn3DVP3
I soon received a 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAUd8PnSSKc7
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHZBGsY3NRH
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQqqap22CZ7
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.1065Please respect copyright.PENANANykepOfnCn
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHUbDMgIoVF
"I'm coming."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXS9im7rDbV
I started heading 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGEytqag7LF
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAtyYlNhQnYR
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 1065Please respect copyright.PENANALTfRJXjdJK
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcMRHfnfchI
number. A number coming from another country.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAt5ZqyCyV7U
"Oh, who is this?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAZYLX5verDZ
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuhDs3dMcE6
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1adeX1KQc2
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAMXjFV9LpIF
"Come on, we're already late."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA4pdMUuEdZX
We went into the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAC0BSJnyyHW
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 1065Please respect copyright.PENANARMlOgIh9qt
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFazKgt9mct
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.1065Please respect copyright.PENANApBYhOcqjjA
When we got to YG, 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhGmGYSkUvs
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked1065Please respect copyright.PENANAD1Pzek64ie
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAT0ADfHdEBC
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8fISkQO0s4
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAY0dcnIYQzV
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."1065Please respect copyright.PENANANfAIrNnG8F
Zoey held her earlobes 1065Please respect copyright.PENANABaKQbaxedj
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to1065Please respect copyright.PENANANtEsq46BbO
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA36fxxyRzmC
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAZxUk4wq8kY
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEcjzsqUdVx
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYxkRPqzp84
"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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAG2gtq7rNhr
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.1065Please respect copyright.PENANARrAqftsCrB
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQZeCyn4l8e
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA4YjHZ91M8o
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAL5oljOWTNk
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7u3fiRpqof
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA93IUaOzQPH
"Then let's do so," said1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsxq3x154ox
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,1065Please respect copyright.PENANAdexF6wCbvT
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAnFVwOQt82Q
I had completely forgot 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAN3qLJPIp9c
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAs2RpBNbtJO
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjiSZyyzIKD
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAeha9BUImj8
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAh3zvF67Xl0
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAF0TmUxGWU9
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHOZNQOML0W
In the live room, there 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA92shanVUNQ
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around1065Please respect copyright.PENANAL3zkb0bk6x
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJy1nOHQVdv
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAMNjK7VBO7w
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAtQMrjwh0QA
I looked at the others 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAbT0ZoHwviu
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAx0ThvwgJIY
producer started to play the tune for the song.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6v3OYLy84a
G-Dragon started to sing1065Please respect copyright.PENANALy45QjktqP
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6erFffzlvc
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAkV19PtUX8X
to let them sing the first verse together.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAGg0DkfHNg
Collins, the music 1065Please respect copyright.PENANACOAxVOHa58
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHSzR1itCLb
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAy91A21wr37
Christine then sang the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQG51VOdCnT
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAeFxa4sdg6h
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAH6ih3eN3kI
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAInW9MeK9aQ
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA2cJYHI5xuD
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7pYGda9qIT
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."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsynmmCcsFz
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I1065Please respect copyright.PENANAw2NMErCSNQ
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA2jbPDO313o
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsL2GX1nke3
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGkN9JeiDyv
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXo2fmFnbKd
"You may," said Collins,1065Please respect copyright.PENANAiq6RkNHc1Q
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 1065Please respect copyright.PENANASGSqAonECm
You have to work on the backup vocals."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jcz5EOFWU
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAeJNPNQJfHA
If I hadn't known 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAlbBQ6lI1w6
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuMDlE6v24N
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and1065Please respect copyright.PENANAc4XV57Xqpq
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAA893qxpB7h
hollow inside.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAtg0xYvPNbO
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.1065Please respect copyright.PENANALq7RlioMXD
We continued recording 1065Please respect copyright.PENANALe7kHmxJMF
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7PiDkTqvOZ
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7hFIJdLYEB
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAor0iNuXTS6
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcfHcVIdNSf
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8xFuBRH9uB
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuiljQFkgPl
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAdBLcuBIFgZ
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsEvYVlvibW
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAltPukmrRws
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAt0NaunVIfc
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA53gwOt44jx
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA4zsbKhLxDz
"But be back within an hour."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAOe1XY2MvyD
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEgCEujJ7Tw
"Fine, an hour and a half."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAvnabZWEKxc
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAi3rcid1XJQ
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAH9VZyhFnni
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAgjVk6zU65z
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFpJQsfKfrJ
"That, my friend," said 1065Please respect copyright.PENANApzBf3AVzDL
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 1065Please respect copyright.PENANALkMnYwRCWq
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5UiM9o9dxK
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAm4WOJxvBEK
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA59Ng0fsQy5
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAepEzMUxW6
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hn29JpA8V
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9hGt6ueXlq
"Whenever you want us to1065Please respect copyright.PENANAULOwSx33tp
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA40RZTXwdTL
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAU3s5X5XboO
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAw8cvxydgyz
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1BPtiyYrSo
"Huh," I thought of all 1065Please respect copyright.PENANALwO4KHfbeN
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcSh3cgI7kS
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.1065Please respect copyright.PENANApENtBWUKh1
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAR1btg28RhA
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAUG0QkgFtrx
"Come on, Sam," said 1065Please respect copyright.PENANArnVix9nlYr
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAyaRhdEpz93
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6xee6hJN8J
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.1065Please respect copyright.PENANALKaRoS8YSS
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAOlJzH8OMU1
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAgZjXGDFErP
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAdeqXt8EKBc
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAwkFoPOWPOn
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXk4iVjE9v5
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjifNt2KBQI
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAw04y1uQBoj
"They aren't here," I said.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAusttotPt12
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAF9J4lDC3eM
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAxIZmyCZriW
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0aPrifya6w
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAZDzrMOtF0a
I nodded my head and we 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA3G0PztIgJw
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmkNdm0sCZn
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAh6ctcbmGb8
We were in the lobby and1065Please respect copyright.PENANAv7ZEISmzWW
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that1065Please respect copyright.PENANANmWhRGSAmB
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcxlPRAzU2x
morning.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYKgn8737Gx
I first sent Zoey a text1065Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ3BTPg4nV
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXVasRnn4qO
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAbLg3jlr4CB
"Hey, what are you looking at?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAu7dhmFVrXR
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAlh4l784kOP
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAkSM6ulliVy
"Okay, shall we go?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5zdWceRMRR
"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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAyx0m28Je98
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ8FDxIkJ2
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAMRrzcZAPgU
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1foedrHteg
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAZWkgxHlOlk
Instead of using any one1065Please respect copyright.PENANAI1ly5NCP3W
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAptb3SvrCjU
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAkitSaYXkjj
attention, especially from the customers.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAg95GcCbjR
I had to admit, the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAyf55fnqxMs
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As1065Please respect copyright.PENANAP5NPJ5NdYj
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuzM01h0vpt
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAtBOFG4N0kj
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.1065Please respect copyright.PENANArqARwlONjS
A smartly dressed 1065Please respect copyright.PENANALVTWJxnNew
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly1065Please respect copyright.PENANADEXgQ5ZoGn
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8ICfifbOxJ
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQncGRvI85r
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQW7ypQp8A4
We were escorted to a 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA12qXnTPpLC
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA4TCKI9Z066
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.1065Please respect copyright.PENANANnHrLyqu6O
TOP pulled a chair for 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsfy4KY5n7Q
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAoGoSAGyytA
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 1065Please respect copyright.PENANArZlKgQDUqz
beside her.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIfShQvA3hj
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAOBd8P4CkSD
"Tell me about it," said Christine.1065Please respect copyright.PENANADS8UEEJ2f6
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAnPmF7e2Y56
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAMrs0bbW7z9
"So, let's order," said Daesung.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsRbXlpYhSm
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsILteX9pMI
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsnqWf9MyVZ
As we were having our 1065Please respect copyright.PENANArUhMJWMJ7g
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our1065Please respect copyright.PENANArM1aOlg53N
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAju3t6p6Dp
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1dN4OeaZlv
having fun wherever they were.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAd4a7DnYwML
While I was having my 1065Please respect copyright.PENANARKxD9DaDwl
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJg9vPtltxD
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAs5NJhme6ur
unknown number had sent me a message again.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAbULIOdtcWh
I tapped on the message 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXlTFp3VYhO
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 1065Please respect copyright.PENANATtVcmQEGXo
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAElM3OOhIHa
the next message was more surprising.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1vUNow8hDF
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAOrM47vErhL
Anything about what was 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAxqVTg4Rtf4
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0yUI8HkHTC
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.1065Please respect copyright.PENANASVyIUchU9o
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAkCNyZYSYmL
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.1065Please respect copyright.PENANARhyyvCdSWV
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAOU3s6296LC
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAUoVHctlPfT
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA2eDHLfC0zu
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzRIVyLlWXg
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuCYtlPWszB
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5c4ZQ6eAiC
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA4XwyeL7T0P
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzfmLmkDqSk
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJZsrjMtQIP
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."1065Please respect copyright.PENANABAIA5a3uXe
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmu9M7zHEYh
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.1065Please respect copyright.PENANARm2ar7SeRx
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzlbtkgTv0n
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAXOqIRGiss
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXHV0ePwAMm
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAH6YGzeIJQp
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA4loSN4Nbpo
"Can we please stop 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzDRc8SrT66
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1sxJspU8Dh
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHBo3CgdfR7
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAwQFepYDxbk
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAWJgbum7Euw
"No, let me," said 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAC7VgRT8q32
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to1065Please respect copyright.PENANANJC4CvLMBE
allow her to say what she wanted to say.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAENnO25Xx2e
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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAfjk4LGaWjB
"Because, Collins gave 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAZj4zNSkggq
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQsfnN7NFiN
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGVerRKg7qw
Never."1065Please respect copyright.PENANArJljZCLQhq
There was silence on the1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhmOfkIyxPv
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8AYcAHbSEV
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAlk37bqUdbY
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAn75lcWcOUw
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.1065Please respect copyright.PENANADa0mGMyShN
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAKm5W7T0Ojx
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAeNiwkaNgS2
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.1065Please respect copyright.PENANALFw4eoinIS
"It's serious to 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAZmSdJkmJsg
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuJC8r0wfsm
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAiLWet7gtCK
babies."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAbFUkqfbQVE
That was odd coming out 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA3usnhyQXVG
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1TaIIWI3Wd
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAl0WCN7PBQV
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 1065Please respect copyright.PENANApnmTYiDC3g
laps.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAu8JYh9W2JO
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5wK1GKUvTL
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.1065Please respect copyright.PENANATxeVvrshMP
I really did. Something 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAytwPr9eUxV
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 1065Please respect copyright.PENANABGSItm2VVC
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAacgaxWG5Gh
"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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEILhGelfRw
I quickly closed the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y6F3re31n
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA3IjFpeGLJn
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAtQMfo8Z9va
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAID6lvcqdAZ
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFsCZLxXkNr
I shook my head and I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAEzoEfR8J9
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEEVlCCRsMM
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQxPlsmi7sp
supposed to care. But I did.1065Please respect copyright.PENANApfmxEy8Q2L
I looked at myself and I1065Please respect copyright.PENANAOAq6UhTuFU
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJsPU364n04
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHkIhGKlbHl
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 1065Please respect copyright.PENANALRWBQlIYdu
things and focus on what's really important.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzyort78soo
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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhQCtPzsy40
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAq98E9HBgtN
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJbKI4pMGFn
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzsMu6rvmDS
I gulped. What had these1065Please respect copyright.PENANAC1xwdN7Wbi
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFCG3MTpbjm
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGNhSUHQtB0
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAqh4DYdc37a
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsWLGWKzdZm
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXjpVzlgv7N
"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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAiOQkmHvLH4
While Christine was one 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjqoarjlMJN
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYqhaC0e5Yr
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIGXlKqzf8j
worse.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAnq4t5fnNNO
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJYEkmh0kHn
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJeZaNIlRD8
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAKR8MrQvB92
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.1065Please respect copyright.PENANATB6P9kZ9WD
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6W7gFMmS4i
I blushed. "Mike!"1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0GdOcylUqH
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhqnpmFoIp3
"I've tried kissing 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFHEm03ynIf
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEBDVha3x2M
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJoUe25XfyN
"Uhh, if I were you, I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAabRSAJmsbJ
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAke7p2vEqBA
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAtSvZI5UD11
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzwH3Z46FVa
regretting it."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzjI4qLfkcC
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7zb4b8RIMR
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuNGlw1mF95
"Fine, I'll listen to 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAS0MmLU5EIb
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9KEw0unkeB
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAgLbTMVfdIg
blushed.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAB8ggyIIBaO
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAKFsYGJu7Jv
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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcpC0LFeo0S
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGuozEmCt31
We got to YG just in 1065Please respect copyright.PENANALO4jbXVoHv
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 1065Please respect copyright.PENANApiEFTUowDs
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjFDY6CnC9S
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.1065Please respect copyright.PENANANtFpfgjPzH
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9E762F9i1I
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAwZN6LzAtbQ
I couldn't help but feel1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIS9fLZGrId
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAvwrfgSr0c6
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAez2JwpDR3h
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhfZtNBI6UH
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1FFmPPfR7O
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJKhnpu5Wdw
I felt something inside 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7AmDfLWWdT
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAMMV2YyndtU
couldn't believe what I was hearing.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjnye9fmEiT
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAWOllncLibl
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.1065Please respect copyright.PENANARlGQpiyVd0
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAnAYap9nwoH
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHqjjySlxYT
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9WAxAsJK5w
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5WHFzEsmW2
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAxEAejC0LoZ
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAaDsFnSHfl5
"Then?" TOP asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANALRZBI8Cc90
"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."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhkxixkiDKw
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQzctIEfW4H
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8wjWdDipgP
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzWSznIui8B
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAlgHMeoTNq2
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGplDpXGVmV
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.1065Please respect copyright.PENANApj585qXU7q
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHlUQxQ2dmD
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAogR0wr0VoZ
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.1065Please respect copyright.PENANADFhDRSOL41
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAy5RIpyJI3z
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAw4kMjLHhJW
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQlxjJxUgEf
I couldn't help but 1065Please respect copyright.PENANApCXu9g9jnc
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmBKbows76E
not telling us what was really going on?1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQmHzg2ISm7
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ox5JWRxBM
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAtEuGS5Dflc
"We've to look for her," said TOP.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAaU8LeOspdi
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAnkNUo97BKW
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9AtgMODu9f
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQS0aRcaPbA
"Did someone say my name?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6L6QkLZZv6
I cringed. He was one 1065Please respect copyright.PENANApFBC99yZbo
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 1065Please respect copyright.PENANApb8uKJpSoJ
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAr7SrmyvdBd
the music producer.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAlRi9UKO3Zt
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAyqbIAL8IhZ
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA26DXwfIHLN
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7gqUJsQJ3i
"Looks like you aren't 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA2BxAf4ksJS
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9NpTOFYpJz
away from us and heading towards the console.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9dbwkS1zYU
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAb9xHU1EsRb
I looked at the others 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAtgKw8Nwkh2
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXpy0NtRvY0
something or else we would be toast.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGbOGJL4u6i
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAx8Od1z6wi7
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA4gHSnKe0rd
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIz0hRilMVH
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYbcRYsCkEv
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANANb5zkl0KAI
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAroN05hV2Kv
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAA4MxyYZVPz
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmslDTMulPc
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEyYUHVx7QU
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAze25OOI89o
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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAPeR7hsEC18
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhLuuhXT1bS
Mike and Daniel almost 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAevaCMkCJYT
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAduJcUJ6WKU
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her1065Please respect copyright.PENANAq1xfpBV2gv
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjq7N80S56h
"That's fine," said Taeyang.1065Please respect copyright.PENANALJUcJ3XA7F
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAeXN7r7iiiO
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAK5rKDo93rD
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAbjfj9LXv1s
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAvnDjwsPKuw
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA3VmuBX54yK
Christine was doing the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAUeG6bh07DF
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious1065Please respect copyright.PENANAB9nkDUwEgv
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjywpLL3mXx
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7TxQfzlQr4
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAY23EMAyWYp
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.1065Please respect copyright.PENANALiCDPnYe6K
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAPSmouDq0kq
I wanted to ask where, 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzTqGehblBx
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee1065Please respect copyright.PENANAs2TlG7wyfJ
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmqMM5HjUXC
music producer soon left.1065Please respect copyright.PENANARybxecLrjE
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.1065Please respect copyright.PENANALQ85bIvkmS
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAoyZKIU0gbT
"Ya, we should," I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuI0qIx7km5
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in1065Please respect copyright.PENANAqfe5o6x9Vn
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."1065Please respect copyright.PENANADVKj8qhkHV
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAK5XS7LN1qd
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzEhb0SHv0T
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.1065Please respect copyright.PENANANHTOJC3aUo
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIc6BGhSjVG
As soon as we left the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANApHtwTJmN6R
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9sE8313ESt
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8qRwEu1OYF
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.1065Please respect copyright.PENANApyH3rLeh6a
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.1065Please respect copyright.PENANArrReo9OaO4
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAKSxWKXk7lC
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFoQQwyMaNG
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAodIW8bns0x
G-Dragon drove away and 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAe5I2KfCkWJ
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAptlkbz1D6c
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAPspeZIpZq0
"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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAb5bx3TQ6fz
"What?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAgk2Q0ZkzMG
"Did you two argue?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANADKnAVqK12n
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAU9DVrXv9aU
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAI70WFPWlBC
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANApr4EQJ8w2v
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjCZZwljS5s
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAZQnQQN77zt
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAbrTDsFNeEW
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAVqr8rX3iW3
With quick strides, I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAnkGqT42IhX
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I1065Please respect copyright.PENANA38ri2opn7F
could look at him directly in his face.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8XJMsr21f2
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.1065Please respect copyright.PENANApJLulWiiPe
"I want you to tell me the truth."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAprSGTOFz71
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAlv0shaxB3G
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAWGyXO9Zbgn
G-Dragon chuckled and 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAN569qaJGJB
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5eSCPsLklo
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXceZ5xxrz8
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."1065Please respect copyright.PENANABckKY6Tl88
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."1065Please respect copyright.PENANALOjlBT3NmP
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYaCoZeBgO4
"And how do you know?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHJAWl9Q8jG
"I'm her best friend. 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAiOsOYsMAN9
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjWh5O6ECT0
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0PnPQwpRuZ
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9rSSlPRyO6
"Zoey can't end her 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHpCrHJJXBB
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAKUcsc8fo6A
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAUm6YbhxyrS
you did something."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAZpIF8Fc9jq
"Me?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAiOauAfrtwE
"Da! Yes, you!"1065Please respect copyright.PENANACPElYzzVuV
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7LjOsVEp1b
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.1065Please respect copyright.PENANARuTAb3FIB2
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAawy90o6H98
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAG6WHkEiGUD
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAE1lVu8zMxE
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAr318prKe93
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."1065Please respect copyright.PENANANrrnsdSZ02
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8Brf4c13xB
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmLtIWinNUu
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA25L9OtKft5
"Ya. Sure."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAqIhc8nL6ym
"Now, will you please 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuebZ8EmYxh
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXSklZ1Jnqu
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANASkl1w6v7wz
interview."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAgvoOBJXkxK
I didn't say anything, 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAilA8o2x1gL
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmYTno14ZKT
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIb5Ggkz2pH
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and1065Please respect copyright.PENANAyAHkKOB8Ik
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEMny4nyEOz
but nothing.1065Please respect copyright.PENANABgxWCOQrWF
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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5dRepVNnjt
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1lJq1HYT3T
"I'm not," I said as I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8gpTbyy2ub
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAy1NdosTj5b
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJglweg2pny
G-Dragon sat down beside1065Please respect copyright.PENANAiWur1qRP12
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAfc34Z9dXBe
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAo4WYbJkVMb
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful1065Please respect copyright.PENANALrTkJlagym
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAR1QH3c10VT
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFQn1fxRkcO
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAeMKTbt6L3F
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYfg5W8xYfZ
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAPUfoCmDlHt
"You love nature, don't you?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAhHGsiX6Yq
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAPCui8vMhvQ
At that moment, I was so1065Please respect copyright.PENANAPOiQwWZw9r
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXpKMUlhHav
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAoPLqpULmfk
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEVI0g9NcOI
even the noise around me seemed non existent.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAY3P93pqU2e
Then I felt something 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAC68XfHWY48
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 1065Please respect copyright.PENANANNFIb0GVfp
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAtXpFxlN7Gu
was staring at me.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAb3RS9vHcuD
"What?" I asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAyKnGcGL5Ue
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAMcaaVkMwPd
I blushed all of the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANATp0kXdWpup
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAOR1sWfxzzG
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 1065Please respect copyright.PENANApbyKo0k938
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAk1x5fC70jE
I would have said yes to1065Please respect copyright.PENANAvH329JKqu8
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANADmlAmMyJtO
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAvQZwMlSVG3
were never meant to be.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5rSCah7cbq
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAoftPLxhZG6
"Why?" He asked softly.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEfqHpDETIJ
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."1065Please respect copyright.PENANASv880rr2RC
"What do you mean?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANABXe7dSYDP2
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIhh3c1f8ft
"So?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAkk9cbRZLfH
"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."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhMNkNHklYo
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAnpppeAkpi9
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA39lEeCqgaG
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA3RZDAigfU1
"I know."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAg9cwnkUrlj
"Then why are you doing this?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJbjBmd620n
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAbFZDbH4vWw
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAVJxMa7s2l4
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0b5OLwlwt2
"You should find another1065Please respect copyright.PENANA55df2w6yiK
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQwhni8NrCG
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmGpmKjWBFm
will never forgive myself."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAz7JensGuIw
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAoVSYFzt3cE
I wanted to smile but I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8Atf2Yf7fy
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzODDeDA7cD
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 1065Please respect copyright.PENANArHO6vXDzGU
like we had beef with each other.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAMpQJsWoa4S
Just as I was about to 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJVd1lkEQHX
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAONl17ipayt
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAKWPpW5zDvz
from his pocket and answered it.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAeYSkRuHW1O
"Hello? Christine?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAm1GLTEug4R
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhpMPjzocau
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGy3Q25Ztez
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAh77DmOz16e
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAItDv5nrChy
"Where is she?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAswXMPqmtIf
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAaSR4bdc7xp
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANABQDnKlivOU
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIxA3fW6CYb
"Who is she with?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAErT78gBaFY
"We're about to find out. Let's go."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcJkKI10Hsc
G-Dragon got up from the1065Please respect copyright.PENANADQnhty3JHZ
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjaPSEFwzBh
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7vRmVrB0L3
When we got in his car, 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuI7ZH860Qg
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9E822CXZre
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA4hs1pPPZcH
looked across towards the café.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAbNw1eyhBP
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAUjAQt3vURn
Through the huge window,1065Please respect copyright.PENANADiPWQtu0Ox
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAP0pbzNlJbq
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcFL0yNBqVj
day in the afternoon.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAi4yK2XluBl
I searched for Zoey, but1065Please respect copyright.PENANADRpj0G6BVg
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAT8xxoSERFX
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA23OxDCWCa8
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFS4L2EzFjW
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAg0SClJHfhe
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjhGryMZt0D
"Who is it?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAODyOwCk21H
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAoBxGhWtlYF
"Seriously?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmHdmREPNHM
"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?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1EzWXzULek
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAnarqhZvUDc
I rolled my eyes and 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7jFN6ky4vm
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAX88S3YR3JG
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7yRBIBVMLP
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.1065Please respect copyright.PENANATeFpZlYY0K
She was sipping her cup 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAdCujPfify0
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAffJc6eGqYU
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAqXazHbBgkW
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAKR2KLG6tiN
"Ya."1065Please respect copyright.PENANArgxrVnLjl5
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAoxDYO58jij
Zoey's smile made me 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIQpZ6rYjOw
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 1065Please respect copyright.PENANADLRtoG1aae
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAdyHwP6nIDL
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty1065Please respect copyright.PENANAvVzj7RouZO
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0O6lvIXrdQ
I felt a threat coming 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjawMnMmSEm
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I1065Please respect copyright.PENANAf9HQX83MFH
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA3w5r3bC2xo
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAe9C6mHMTKh
going on in there.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAxswBa4D9cx
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAx7cW9pn0Qq
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAImaExN4otj
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5D8u0TD1OJ
Just as G-Dragon came 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAA7HSxxFiyz
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAUlmtipEuqx
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.1065Please respect copyright.PENANADNDawl20tA
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAyc04DQCsvK
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1rf48aXahl
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFFH1r66LnA
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEhiMXD9YuT
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQzXksuFEWk
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANArJirwrTdLv
I didn't answer him as I1065Please respect copyright.PENANAdiRKQOqGkn
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7x1vtFqER7
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsoHvzKiPh5
managed to reach the café without getting hit.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAn1KH9xKRcT
When I got to the café, a1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYRavObYnOl
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAUPfq4WWSNg
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAWrK0KdPrdd
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAMChlzWyUQO
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.1065Please respect copyright.PENANANXGOkVsCgu
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.1065Please respect copyright.PENANABBh8ZcUQ6I
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAdFN2OXGGmG
"Don't you dare try to 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAymoActAPTn
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIM4tmmfCuq
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0UQrwMtdEv
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."1065Please respect copyright.PENANASjCEiiADwv
"Christine told you where I was?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANADBOVPfwwK0
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAaC9CbFOpMc
I heard the bell of the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAlhR3ciGq2j
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAUadR7nr2x1
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAk79zrxixQ9
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYYkCGlq24n
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAX7XZwK1afd
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsEEoi7GsLf
"Stop taking all this 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAwiH9SnL227
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't1065Please respect copyright.PENANAN17twU0FCR
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAe785EqedR6
The smile on Zoey's face1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYzMUoHxcYv
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAnytY74l5Pu
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFpHE9Hkfff
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 1065Please respect copyright.PENANApiPGq8gnKk
ourselves.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAI6xkwxNw04
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vu6zNKKNv
"You're right," I said 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAxk2ntuOqIY
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated1065Please respect copyright.PENANAx9FFLdZU3L
attracting so much attention sometimes.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFrjEXu0PMn
The others had started 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAdZPGeqTY4z
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAfJeQ4J5MAa
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAPdL5zz72QK
about who he was.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAWeDBvBKsHL
After we left the café, 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzhvM7BkCPd
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAa99ZZxyzt8
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAF7kijWCtpz
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAbRgbrwZAIg
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAundShmDKUr
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAClfopiMNSg
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAlalOy8xZUj
Zoey and I went in 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8vccwnQBP9
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcF2S3lAaMl
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHWgveCjnth
We were all back in the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAW1KKCwQW6s
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I1065Please respect copyright.PENANAg3CuzIGWNv
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAlnt2qYYUFm
We gathered ourselves in1065Please respect copyright.PENANAX4jg6WVOpg
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAB0JDjLkLBC
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsHIxR8UTFu
hands on my hips.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9IQSLs6rxX
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhMAFa9BQsE
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAKIH8o3MT3l
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAZuQ9MC2Lh6
"Fine, I tell you," said1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9MyBZrDtsi
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcc7SrOfl8t
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAKoNJbvOjq
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGTxOwv9F4t
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."1065Please respect copyright.PENANApAzHsjz49l
"No, I don't mind," said1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhGcomwkJlF
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA3zOVTDvAUa
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.1065Please respect copyright.PENANARMrGgZJem7
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1rSVNx9Amp
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAyxQCQQEGIg
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAoSaC9goRyD
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.1065Please respect copyright.PENANApXdfC5oSpY
"As much as that sounds 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAFckP6n59f
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQpTcWpEKhl
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAac19LiJfAW
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAy1KJ09fQ3H
I started to tap my foot1065Please respect copyright.PENANARU48BR2icn
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAn6TZRjBaNM
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAt7U2PBepKI
truth.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYHs9gig5dP
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcxcpdrwGPp
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8zieF9dO1N
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 1065Please respect copyright.PENANATaAdW7Izqe
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAT6KZ46RF31
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAO3ZosJe4Gl
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9yfbHUUTL5
"Okay, okay, eish," said1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYd3lnRw00P
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAWWa1vNLxVn
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6znOeNP3FQ
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAvLVGYep9Rh
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAxG8Vb4VVPz
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAqFyALkxPEz
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAvJHUm0X0hG
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."1065Please respect copyright.PENANArjCaVhisUl
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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAODnlLQ0x2z
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANApPOG6VLi3M
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuKOAMRJLgg
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAxzjlPy16sQ
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAX6km4uP8ra
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANARdX8oUT1g9
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuFWSn8P1VV
"Are you sure?" Daniel 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAKl5xRUKo0f
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAwCaZY6O2TH
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAOYRLpiN3eQ
haters or even us."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAVTuP84b4ID
Daniel was right. Zoey 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAm3hL579qrH
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAMUxwLdSAd2
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJVlYRCvGzi
telling the truth.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5dlcN5rwGT
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAP9V7QnYO7A
"A very nice guy that 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAvNXntACmlc
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 1065Please respect copyright.PENANATdjLepg3NB
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAl2apipJOki
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhoyrPETjnf
I didn't want to 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIVMs3rRSby
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsZf163NxZ4
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.1065Please respect copyright.PENANANzYKESQMaG
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjKcN8tmo6l
"And not dead," said 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAWzyjODea2h
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAf7rWXzdkVD
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.1065Please respect copyright.PENANATlYBXRwshv
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAqhdKR8Sa45
"And you better get 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHtkSOUnR3E
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAtag94ksMEA
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAg7kD6dXMu
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIi54qxP1sM
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsP4J6ggxXU
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1Mpm1BS7eX
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA4QnuDB6i06
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."1065Please respect copyright.PENANABv8Rjpak9v
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAwVd2DDZgyH
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1EO5RpIDuK
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.1065Please respect copyright.PENANApRL40X5PVg
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFRWy09ifmh
One by one the BigBang 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAX6n66TlY56
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmziTBr0lU0
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ8gPpXdsE
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.1065Please respect copyright.PENANADBsGk7LnaM
When I went in my room, I1065Please respect copyright.PENANABXIU7YL7yN
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhIrC85mqS6
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAeb7xLhLotT
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXjrCiCseiT
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAPk61aCZ5sF
"About what?" I turned to look at her.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAOp8jrVg7p0
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhWurjAVgjh
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGX1JLZyNMR
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJHxqNWfPSu
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYwwMK2NiHW
"Did you see the man's face?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAUlx1Z4a15m
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5AMYYoUEh1
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9xgdq6CDFq
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAz04Wwov5gr
"I bet he is good 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8RYyTtuP5h
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAbifBLpTEGn
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAWaOTXTXXfT
told her to?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQBC2nYOGQo
"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?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5CFzOVT2ak
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."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6wVcKCqISy
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ9hNJUkSh
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzMUBB9X1Us
"That we have to find out."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAG2Q9UcLsW3
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAe1DXc3arz9
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsfCJmMPtN4
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAzgedrjPsXn
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcOKDaElXSm
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1fC2zE6mr5
Oh my. Had he told her 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAyoIaDrLmAL
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmRzmLdCBJM
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAh8BGvYdmgY
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEO766Oqlhi
"What did you talk about?" I asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7GkTpQjlvq
"He was just pissed that1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEtgt2yztAP
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAtLAJVPUcF9
that might have upset me or something."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGoSYdP9A30
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA8o0cZUwpq2
"But he didn't."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAMipH3UhbEJ
"I see why Sam asked," 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAiVlkWvEkkX
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAksFmnyGZxl
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAkm2NW84jH3
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."1065Please respect copyright.PENANADaP5QRqeAw
And I hope it will never1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6dvRHABauU
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 1065Please respect copyright.PENANADmmc3y2o43
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAKGvAVgWIfb
was yet to come at any moment.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAYw4B0nkxHE
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1TlM8binLb
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAt8rau1GmjI
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAwOVPcutzRc
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9G3veBvxY5
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAElQmX8naad
Christine, Zoey and I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANADiGjXpkCCf
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0m2R9OrUp4
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 1065Please respect copyright.PENANACpN3r4eVf4
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAM0QkqWuJ7j
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."1065Please respect copyright.PENANADmgbveaKWZ
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAe4V0cJ2PPM
"Yes, he is," said Lee 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAqLh2ICp08j
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAt0OvaGuXn1
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6CtaCbSWaz
well."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAi9vvllH60F
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7VW1wGwoPC
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAOTAVWQx3oX
"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."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAngRZ3Mmhwg
"Us?" I asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9rvuCOkScK
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAw42OSN1fVQ
Christine and I rushed 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAIK6tdImcfx
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQGjAOwTQo7
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his1065Please respect copyright.PENANAPBjuYp2d8V
hand.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5XMhNDv2zt
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAJgqnSCU1Zd
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGlENlgVCVy
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA4rVnC0Bsah
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmV9I3MUSVP
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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5xFL5jxXKu
I took the letter and 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAL3kDOmRaMO
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove1065Please respect copyright.PENANAaphnxE0BTb
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0wlXr0Ngux
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0B2JfO450f
"That's it?" Mike asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANACGGmwHhZjb
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAy8mD4Hvl9Q
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAsY19qvy7Oh
"All that the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcHKriPjdkK
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGM4woRHRaY
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA4LgWhgsZ5I
My eyes went wide and my1065Please respect copyright.PENANAe6kGWyV96z
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmRNNNx3hkZ
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAM0u4AF5Izn
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAHxyBISjR3k
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0ky019C8BC
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAxr3Mtedihq
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAnrq7VAq8eK
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?1065Please respect copyright.PENANArb4L1ZAz5v
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAGDpmoeG87W
Christine threw Daniel 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4X5zIXcco
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAZMjJicc5d1
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to1065Please respect copyright.PENANAFSfY63ntbo
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhKa8Jby1T7
person you barely even knew.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1myFv8nSbJ
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA5PVFZ6C2V4
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAaC9F4aToEx
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.1065Please respect copyright.PENANApFkmv9kHBa
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAP2fLFIf7YY
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAziAlgwpVUD
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAwUuKzilzL7
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7RgL5OnWRd
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAAXvTqlLlbM
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAL7xtbNMr8x
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9IyXYH1BIN
"Okay, but take your 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAG9kMt1GZku
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAuxkAvXsGbj
last prayers before I leave this earth."1065Please respect copyright.PENANAOy2kckOrGv
I rolled my eyes but I 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA4iWmyRcVSy
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,1065Please respect copyright.PENANAScxUoc1T6R
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAkFdR6dg8ls
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAcWFipDacDf
The other three couldn't1065Please respect copyright.PENANAhjvIQ4og0F
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAeaVtkzJGtx
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 1065Please respect copyright.PENANARBGYC0tfEO
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But1065Please respect copyright.PENANABkd72Zgl59
nothing happened.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjSaZNSkglq
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAQwGfvVPBBT
"What is it?" Christine asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAePWEek63bo
I looked up at the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAgBJ68dK65s
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 1065Please respect copyright.PENANASbEdlKze87
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAjcdGBviKQG
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA9Gv2pLd1wh
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAmAXpBlXvxz
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAv00XnK2uFB
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAciAbMZN2NG
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA07LNFuOvbg
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANATkn6D4FMeX
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0HRxOhMr6A
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA1DehR0Ppbs
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAafaPQvpYqr
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAgfvWCUQuXL
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA98Jn58WQYP
It was then that Zoey 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAm5QuC2AgQv
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 1065Please respect copyright.PENANATHp3Z3HojY
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAyuIIvqm9eo
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the1065Please respect copyright.PENANAqabc33o3bV
stranger who she was with today that sent it.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAUqTyyZNRq2
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA3Hm9R5SLeg
"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.1065Please respect copyright.PENANANyNwxtzqno
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.1065Please respect copyright.PENANANPKazEVLtW
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAKDh4vJB0QX
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"1065Please respect copyright.PENANAl2E6da2Gzy
This time, they laughed 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAtOcRVCjnLG
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we1065Please respect copyright.PENANAVNSS5aaACI
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAX5QZ8szc0i
reason to laugh along as well. Who knows what the future might hold? You1065Please respect copyright.PENANABiCaKXH7w1
could die at any given day. We were just glad to be alive and laughing.1065Please respect copyright.PENANA7EpyuY8C1S
"Stop it, guys," said Zoey with a frown. "This isn't funny." Lee just shook her head in disbelief.1065Please respect copyright.PENANABAjUmcxWYx
"You brought this on yourself, not us," said Mike.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAXdB68quNiA
"What's with all the laughing?" Collins asked as he came into the lounge.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAp18XbQ14R3
Zoey held up the bear 1065Please respect copyright.PENANApycTKm3YkH
for Collins to see. It was such a funny site given that Zoey looked like1065Please respect copyright.PENANA0WuIgAgPcV
she was about to cry and she held the bear's little arm in between her 1065Please respect copyright.PENANA6RwzVI4pCt
fingers that it was dangling in midair. That sent us into another wave 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAc1CMJNCE3E
of laughter. This time, Mike and Christine were on the floor and Daniel 1065Please respect copyright.PENANAEI0H9tL2D0
fell right beside me on the couch. I laughed so hard my stomach ached.1065Please respect copyright.PENANAL7oGfc1xFR
And surprisingly, Collins laughed too.
