Have you ever been awake984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAfxowB8Yh
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Eiym7vFc
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcpyHDjsG6
day goes on?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopwKJ6ZLYM
That's how I felt right at this moment.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RE9fIijQG
I tossed in my bed, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGPmO6uGOw
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtNqCD1AL5
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbbUyLDIjw
could come up so that I could meet my end already.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKX0vZuEI6
I quickly sat up and went for my phone on the drawer close to my bed. I checked the time. It was only 4 AM.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv81yjuwuQ
I fell back on my bed, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mOwCnEovE
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhucZer5DG
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMocskvoTDU
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2LPB4VOOv
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruwpzExSec
till sunrise, but waking up three times meant I was too bothered in my 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0JBCH51oa
mind even to dream.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiSuP33zCQ
I turned to my other side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWR5fGRncL
How I wish I could fall 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiZHeiHaA7
asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring slightly in her sleep. I984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6rnCFrdCD
stared up at the dark ceiling trying to picture things in my mind but I984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbLMC5KpYb
couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't working.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT9xFdC8wG
I sighed as I looked at the panda. I couldn't stop thinking of what I was going to do today, especially with G-Dragon and Zoey.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUhqreLqzD
I knew I now had to face984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrZjsrAZtY
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIw6lH2Xvs
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and me. And even984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHMUf6C09W
though she was tired when we got back, she still hadn't stopped 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBWOwC8zQV
bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih89bQ8UUq
I knew her persistence 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H270tE7lJ
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdvMLFvLBp
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhdTB4Wbef
her if I had to tell her the truth.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmase5Awd5
I know sometimes we 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlgjpl8H8K
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5ejhWPQ6B
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXQXpUunZC
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMRNRrNkKa
had now reached that point.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOQG8SBSDq
I sighed again as I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfzXxXU4Rd
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigIoC2d6IJ
What wrong did I ever do to be in the position I was in right now?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXY6LdlUZP
If it came to G-Dragon, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBj6VoDpRH
he was going to be one person who will be difficult to talk to. I know I984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg1UgH1OGN
betrayed his trust, and trying to convince him was going to be a whole 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKHknit1Ko
lot harder.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt2WEwBxcB
How was I going to tell 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTdo4zZ5xl
him that yes, Daesung and I did kiss, but all of that happened due to a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCVvs4u0EW
completely different story? I know how bad he must be feeling and if I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hONZVwxAy
was in his shoes, I probably wouldn't believe anything I would say 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKnOMfmiqv
either.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83rqJlDJ81
I kicked out the bed 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkQavWvxZA
covers and got up from the bed. And taking Mr Panda with me and my 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP5XjukRaw
phone, I slipped my feet into my bed slippers and walked out of the room984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6rCqjciqA
in my purple pyjamas.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BaWiMQ8lr
I went straight for the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg9IYcSR0k
dark, empty lounge and I turned on the lights. I went to sit on the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj9uCo0JJb
comfortable couch and with my feet up and folded with Mr Panda in my 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6L7fcWoit
arms, I unlocked my phone and went straight to my contacts and called my984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV51u2Kigwd
mum.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOhdqnkV90
Hopefully, I was calling984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvyvhHugqs
her at the right time. I wasn't really sure what time it would be back 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxsf66vhSv
home in the U.S. I was too bothered to even try and figure out all this 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0LGwcdCWu
time zones nonsense. I just had to talk to someone. And why not my mum?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq8VRDDFYd
I put the phone to my ear hoping she would pick up. I just hope she wasn't busy at work or something.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs42I3ZqF68
She finally picked up the phone on the fourth ring.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnDpZ9GKNZ
"Hello, Sam?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ux8cHkuW5
"Hi, mum."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlRw6tEiRf
"Sam, how are you, dear?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4fdV69jJ9
"I'm good. How are you? Are you at work?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENzfE1lqw5
"Yes, I am, sweetie. I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnxzJ0SOjp
am just looking at photos online on the computer. A friend of mine just 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfdzBmbwjW
told me you guys went out bowling with BigBang."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlYCgXdnZX
"Ah.." I scratched my head. "We did, mum. And we had fun."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1UGAPWjgb
"Ya, I can see you guys 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqLTdqtYn5
smiling and laughing on the photos." I could hear clicking in the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIYlH1TSeb
background and that confirmed that she was tapping away on the mouse of 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubiIzfwKnG
her computer as she looked at the pictures.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWFgl8IQz2
"So, was it more like a competition?" she asked. "It's says here that you guys won."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDpuOC8cqG
"It was mum. We won," I said with a smile. "You should have seen what happened. It was awesome."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zLIlo6kYv
"I'll check out the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BYlZDiLaA
videos later on and see everything for myself, dear," I could hear my 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpjZojGyk1
mum clicking quickly on the mouse. "Now tell me. What's bothering you? 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84GrMaAvNz
Why aren't you asleep?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz2lxgL1sG
I raised an eyebrow. "You know what time it is here?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gCDrtgxb5
"I'm your mother, Sam. Of course I know what time it is."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hN8AoLXkW
I could imagine my mum 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFcF2hIR5z
with a stern look on her face as she said that. If we weren't talking on984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUHOcxIE3v
the phone and I was standing in front of her, she probably would have 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAJZ8RhWkB
her arms folded.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vFIwDZPz2
"I know its way too early in the morning for you to be awake right now," she continued. "What's up?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT70f4pBB26
"I feel my whole life has been nothing but a lie, mum," I said as I tugged at Mr Panda's ears.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuTKqlCQLH
"Your name is Samantha Glasson and you're a famous pop star. That my child, is not a lie."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL9h36lkG1
"Mum, you know what I mean when I say that."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImu6YggL79
She sighed. "What did you lie about this time?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsmJX0qB9v
"I've lied way too much in my life, but this time, I think I'm in a really big mess that I can't seem to get out of."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIG8x8Sq4g
"Tell me. I've all the time to listen."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZYsaUCBUf
"I've been lying to Zoey984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynMRLJSI0P
and everyone else about G-Dragon and I, and I don't now how to tell 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1LNjFi7kx
them, especially Zoey since she likes G-Dragon so much. It would crush 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkoXlCf650
her if she finds out G-Dragon likes me and not her."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKDWsETfzo
"I thought you girls weren't supposed to date any one of those guys."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPZrmKmy8Q
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow. Collins really does tell you everything, does he?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVA5PZx4UY
"Whatever he tells you, we as parents have to know too. I hope Zoey's mum isn't going to freak when she finds out."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFApQpJHysa
"Trust me, mum, Collins 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7lWT4xehS
has no clue with what's going on in our private circle and I suggest 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2leIAH8Ud
that you shouldn't say a word either."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tDQSXvPnq
"Is that a threat?" I imagined my mum's eyebrow raised.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEixuteW8M
"You know I can never 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KUyboQJfc
threaten you, mum. It's just for now until we come back home. It's a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVEdaRi8aS
matter of life and death. I've no choice."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Roth7bOXQ
"I know. But why does Zoey like him?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5jHtHjyqi
"Knowing Zoey, you must know by now the kind of guy she would fall for, mum."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54DpIXZYoH
"True. But how come she likes him but he likes you? Don't tell me you also like him too."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lDQHOhlY2
"Well....." I hesitated, trying to figure out what to say next.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiuCgVviPB
"Samantha Glasson," my mum's voice sounded stern now. "Tell me the truth."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSikfoqSTf
I sighed. "I also like him, mum."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz4i85hUeb
There was silence at the other end. Until....984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAe9JCY2Ku
"WHAT!"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs4x0gmPDR
"Mum, calm down. It's not what you think."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5dpbmiGPU
"Then what is it? The 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPQ3gyiFIG
way I'm seeing it, you also like him and you feel guilty because you 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BL3XssQ2T
feel like you're betraying your best friend."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq1K3eUxwA
"It was like that at 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosZX6a0Uzz
first. I really do like G-Dragon but I'm learning to like him as a close984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeDc4YEOEN
friend because I know how Zoey likes him and because of Collins' 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTGc7d4CNM
'golden rule'." I put "golden rule" in quotation marks with my remaining984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvrqTb4sa8
fingers.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegaT43nolu
"What do you mean it was like that at first?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9TTXmcdVI
"I like G-Dragon, but he isn't the only one."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97MNiMra0t
"Don't tell me you like someone else from the same group too."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8gnTm6qtb
I closed my eyes as I winced. "Yes, mum."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyiFhEGWvB
She didn't say a word. I wondered what she was thinking right now.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm709obrKt
"You're really in one hell of a mess, dear."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0BKLyz9Uf
"And that's not the worst part."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZtkQ6RPWb
I told her what happened984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx7TC2KJ9S
the day Zoey went missing, making sure I didn't mention the stranger in984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSpl3IyPs7
the suit. I talked about what G-Dragon and I had talked about in the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZYypldbUG
park and what we agreed upon. Then I told her what happened with Daesung984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuQ1JEe9BJ
and the kiss.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQW5CuBYfo
"You kissed?" my mum sounded surprised.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucJoFpq67f
"Ssh, and listen."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5giNfrP3Dt
I told her that G-Dragon and Zoey saw us but they didn't witness the kiss. And I told her what happened afterwards.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uzdjlWegz
"You're in a real mess, Sam. You now have two people to tell the truth to."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhOKCD2z86
"If it's not Zoey and G-Dragon, then it's the entire group."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRUrwY2FRq
"I know. But you can't lie forever now, can you?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7daTKb4HR
I thought of what she said. "You're right. We all deserve to know the truth someday."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l1ALLngnq
"Are you scared?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSm2MPOLAG
"I am. Maybe that's why I can't fall asleep." I hugged Mr Panda close to me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxm7NKk5NU
"It's okay to be scared, sweetie. And it's good that you decided to come out clean."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfird0c2sg
"I don't want people getting hurt because of me." I could now feel tears coming up in my eyes.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YLxnERSoG
"We all get hurt at some984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhA8T3408I
point in our lives, sweetie. That's why there is a time for everything.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyw2rqWCnj
Just wait and see. After the storm, everything will be back to the way 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwpgyWHRTk
it was and everyone will forget about it. Besides, no one can stay mad 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6eZdn9quz
at you forever, Sam. Not even me."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD4vVSevwl
I smiled as a tear ran down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZuII97ePz
"Thanks, mum." I sniffed.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX8jk1cZDy
"Don't cry, okay? You're984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWhtl033DX
a brave girl. Now, do me a favour and get a few minutes of sleep. You 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfvaXbn6N7
will need all the rest you can get."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ832IPUb0G2
"Yes, mum. I will."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkJCevSWku
"Bye, Sam. Tell me what happens, okay?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDgRAjDrgY
"Okay. Bye."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZttyEZdn4S
I hang up and I quickly 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBe9KPyv8Z
got up from the couch with Mr Panda and went back in the room, straight 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb6rE03yLr
into the bed covers. I fell asleep in an instant with Mr Panda in my 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSJ3SkOdKI
arms.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdEoAkEvas
It must have been some 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshotxYtEpW
time around 7:40 when I finally woke up. The sun rays shone brightly 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6hYZMyCzf
into the room that I had to shield my eyes with my hand from the light.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuCxht4Gsq
"Wakey! Wakey!" Zoey came over and sat next to me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp1BTnbOGl
"Mmmm." I murmered as I turned around and covered my head with a blanket. "Leave me alone."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4DXTjFFWl
"You've to get up, Sam. We have a big day ahead of us."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUKx8N2jsX
"Isn't it a Sunday today?" I asked as I removed the blanket from my head.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhp8vsdX0L
"Sadly, it isn't, my 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx5eZ2KXnb
dear kitty," said Zoey as she placed her hand on my head. "Looks like 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qSjPmEj4a
you weren't the only one praying for it to be a Sunday."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiQXU3f3fb
"Okay." I muttered as I sat up on my bed and rubbed away the sleep in my eyes.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WtQEXCYBs
"You know you have a lot of explaining to do, right?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KQx2GbEaa
I yawned, then sighed. "I know. You don't have to tell me."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfYODjLwiF
"So, start talking right now."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc8FCs9LIz
I looked at Zoey with wide eyes. "You want to talk now?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkcZqYJZfc
"Ya. I'm still really worried about you."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1ZU3S9aGM
Looks like I had no choice. This was it. Time to tell the truth.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT75aYUA07J
"What I'm about to tell you, is going to crush you completely, Zoey."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNk8hYVp5c
Zoey turned to look at me with a serious look on her face. "What are you saying, Sam? Is it that serious?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwq6kRdaZs
"It really is, and I feel bad that I have to tell you."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNizqXLaTKA
I hesitated as I looked down at my hands and played with my fingers. Zoey put her hand over mine and I looked at her.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAI3fvsGOM
"Just tell me, Sam. Even if it's going to hurt."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl8Xnr89ln
I closed my eyes bracing myself for impact. My heart was pounding so hard.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALdTSLd7Cy
"It's about G-Dragon and I," I said. "I'm sorry to say this but...."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyeemv2boK
"You like him, don't you?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTlL6Skk48
I opened my eyes in shock. That wasn't supposed to happen. And what made Zoey say all that?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAvNjc6q82
"I..uh...no, that's not it."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAgw1bo6oI
Zoey laughed. "Don't worry, Sam. I know how much you also like him. I'm not mad."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVji5dCqXg7
"Zoey, that wasn't what I...."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhRm1fENQ6
"Expected from me?" Zoey984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7B43wraFM
grinned as she flipped her hair to the side. "I know, you're surprised.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4B8SBqLv8
I like him, you like him, the whole world likes him."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m36Z7PoIv
"Zoey, I..." Zoey placed her index finger on my lips to keep me from talking further.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZpmnMc37F
"I know you feel guilty 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aF6Pot36G
that you like him because I do too. Don't worry about it, because I know984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZNliVm9xw
that you wouldn't try to steal him away from me."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZMvd7DajQ
I gulped. What was I going to tell her now? How was I going to her that G-Dragon liked me and not her?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hTtFlEEmF
"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqCyeiuolK
Zoey shrugged as she was deep in thought. "I haven't thought of it that way. I know that he only has eyes for me."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsyUNMeghn
I wanted to slap my 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR46UYcCYx
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K36UJ88uB
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwjz5uMfxQ
it gets out of hand.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxUk1QIgrI
"Zoey, listen to me," I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FxzQmqIe7
said as I looked at her in the eye. "I admit that I like G-Dragon, but 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvJox8wHZr
not in the way you think. You on the other hand, need to know that...."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso4pbmU0oE
I paused. That was odd. 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBukynBz6UW
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQRg8qzdRs
felt someone had just cast a spell on me and now I was tongue tied.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdd8MVNvd4
Zoey looked at me, irritated that I had stopped talking. "What do I need to know?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL8zXzovN7
What was wrong with me? I984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xDgNE292b
had so much confidence when I was talking just now and I still do. But 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSYSQ18YEM
now, I couldn't say anything. I opened my mouth to speak, but still 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUywcOQfytI
nothing came out. Zoey shook her head.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfIt1gSsgX
"You're weird, Sam," 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29bWL7TfSF
Zoey stood up from my bed and went straight for the bathroom. "When you 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvbOXK55Fz
finally have the courage to tell me what you wanted to say, I'll be 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXtf2Veplk
waiting."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG6aOEmF66
Zoey closed the door and984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2pR4mowhv
I heard the shower tap turn on. Oh no! I blew it this time and that 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitQAaZa3Ue
just proves that telling her the truth was going to be a whole lot 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhAf2X9jzR
harder than I thought.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJS35bLyzB
At least Zoey knew that I once liked G-Dragon, that's if she really took what I said seriously.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobfm7aXnkb
This was all so messed up and I felt like I was going nuts.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHuFLaJ9hH
I stood up from my bed 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yvhG5j6rJ
and started to pace up and down, thinking. What happened to me a few 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zwjw0uffH
minutes ago? Why couldn't I tell Zoey the truth? Well, half of it, which984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAAVuFVI38
is the most important part.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZstTAiprFG
"It's not your portion to say anything to Zoey. And you know it."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ulCg1Breo
Whatever my conscious 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbmVxG82hU
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO93BTAISdc
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that why I was tongue tied 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh6xQMHCEq
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Cj27kxMA
If that was the case, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14JDR4uo2P
then G-Dragon better do it fast. The earlier it was, the better. Before 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2I6ps3Koy
Zoey really gets too much involved with him or else she would be 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjZxadGTIn
shattered completely.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC63g7uEASg
While I was trying to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rB8DAriXc
figure out what to do next, my phone rang and I went on the bed to reach984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlJHYhBk8O
out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9glrQKUDNZ
When I checked the caller ID, I raised an eyebrow. An unknown number. I wonder who it was?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4S8aphQLd
I answered the call. "Hello?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPLEXOE15G
"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOptwtupWP
I held my breath. That 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBWh72Y0g6
sent a chill down my spine. Who was this? Dang it! I'm supposed to be 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJQkTwMiee
asking that question, not thinking it.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHZFBogztf
I cleared my throat. "Hello? May I know who this is?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSPTWEoUQM
The man chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What matters is that we talk."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2BtDn4r2B
"Talk? Talk about what?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u9OKYiAvw
"Did you check the photo I sent you?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmynUiNbwzH
"Photo? What...?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWFczkH0Vr
I paused when I realised the photo he was talking about. I had completely forgot about it.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKngDv75Des
"Oh!" I slapped my forehead. "I never downloaded it to see what it was." I raised an eyebrow. "What's the photo about?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpwxv0FLj3
"If you haven't seen it,984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6xpw03Vui
then it's best you see it for yourself. I can't tell you over the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0ivoX1qAG
phone. When you see it call me or text, will you, sweetheart?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVQJs9wSOl
Sweetheart? What was this guy playing at? What was the photo all about?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DubS3MA3B
"Are you trying to blackmail me with the photo?" I asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu33Abza2I9
"I wouldn't call it blackmail. But everything would be more interesting if you're involved."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetrLq8cSzg
"If I'm involved? What do you mean?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauG45mXcRJ
I could soon hear the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjfhZB1ovz
person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAmqQ8wTGa
break it. What was going on today? First, I had G-Dragon and Zoey to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstrV6ZkoGR
handle and now, I had this stranger calling me and making things worse.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJa54xEC3m
I looked back at my 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbNovQxqLD
phone and started to go straight to my messages. I checked the message I984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SJG06lDYH
had received from the unknown man and I realised that I still hadn't 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNHRetKZcA
downloaded the picture. I switched on my mobile data and started to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6QTmXUqbv
download the photo.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EI7vhaERV
"Sam! Zoey!" Lee came all of the sudden into the room. She almost scared me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznuMoJU4af
"Goodness, Lee!" I held my chest as my heart beat fast. "There is a thing called knocking, you know?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IGQGMg4kY
"I know, I thought you guys were still asleep."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C98iAVvtM
"No matter," I said. "We're all awake as you can see."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v3okSMlk4
"Okay. Get ready, we have to leave for the studio."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJJnwJ6sBP
I nodded and Lee left. I984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynbA7C6NPG
went back to looking at my phone. I frowned. The internet was so slow 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDdJpeYivo
today. The photo hadn't finished downloading yet.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm6FLI17VN
"I'm done," said Zoey as she came out of the bathroom in her towel. "You go get ready."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxDgnAwHBS
"I just want to see something first," I said as I pointed at my phone.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVxvKfLYFK
Zoey walked up to me, took my phone and threw it on her bed.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpHy7tBV8p
"Zoey!"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK8kcNuao2
"Not a word, Sam. You're984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBlkAzZ0RU
always the one telling me to get ready and be punctual, but you don't 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT0ZCW6vh3
want anyone telling you anything. Just go take a shower. I wonder what's984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZVUVcwI1O
up with you today."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkBUW9iO66
If only she knew. So 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mONaPTCrQ
many things were running in my mind that I couldn't seem to focus on one984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fdMDjFwpV
thing because something else would just pop up all of the sudden.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SksETrIrJ
I went to the bathroom 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4NeTsUtAf
and locked the door behind me. Before I could undress and get into the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6SgkoJDBr
shower, I went over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my own 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJt2aAzQpQ
reflection.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvHktDtPLX
I looked like I hadn't 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfW1EciMwC
had sleep in days with all the dark circles underneath my eyes. I was 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgrurjq5XX
deeply troubled, that's for sure. My problems just got increased by one 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqMAyHNJob
if not by two.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTrXRXOTbb
G-Dragon and Zoey were 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbTmCxG8r5
my main problem to tackle today. And all of the sudden, an unknown 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJQhXe3CgR
stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjta6B7Rclj
about. And why he sent it to me was the most confusing part. If he 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqQMo44zXH
wasn't blackmailing me, then what was this charade about?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPkvV8dqga
After I took a quick 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrsxoOmnSt
shower, I quickly went back in the room and I went straight for my phone984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb0mMos9kU
on Zoey's bed. Zoey had already dressed up and she went past me into 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6vHrlvSez
the bathroom to get her makeup done.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK2dMUGVx2
I unlocked my phone. I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtGKH1sunO
was pretty anxious about the photo that even my hands were shaking. The 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lxyN0cHib
photo must be done downloading by now.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlkPkHyLCI
Just as I unlocked the phone, it vibrated. Someone was calling me. Oh no! What now?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxjjE2OUN8
Seungri was calling. What could he probably want to talk to me about this early in the morning?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiD8X112rZ
"Hello, Seungri?" I answered.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcf5LrK5pe
"Morning, my panda," said Seungri.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy85vdjEj8
"Morning. How was your night?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nGVTqckMt
"My night was perfect, since I dreamt of you."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hGvf1NJYV
If I was myself, I would have blushed by those words. But now, I was as confused as ever and I didn't know what to say next.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ihOy6w36y
"Oh, wow," I said, trying to act a little surprised. I hope he bought it.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxCiKRAvPa
"I've a little something I want to give you when you get to YG."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VETLFJ1tR
I smiled a little. At 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XKosty6Rk
least out of all that was going on, Seungri managed to make me smile, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35ITn4pP3U
which was quiet peculiar because he didn't say anything funny. I was 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg2lEzSYq8
already imagining another huge stuffed panda waiting for me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKKEHWdQ2x
"Can't wait," I said with a little laugh. "See you."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgqPgtUdnt
"You too."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1M2bZFjc6
He cut the line and I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd5e6rjWm5
threw my phone on the bed. I decided to dress up first and have my 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe51GQ2c6qw
breakfast, before Zoey came back in the room and start to pressurise me 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoNWaMHnL2
again. I had already pissed her enough this morning.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R2slw0ePQ
After I dressed up and 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaOsIlfaRN
Zoey had left for breakfast, I went in the bathroom to get my hair done 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTaQcx4YBv
and applied a bit of makeup to hide my dark circles. When I was done, I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNljdQibtI
went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8hnlNjagk
always did, I wore my black pumps, grabbed my phone and went out of the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e6abooBKF
room.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdmcG669yZ
Just as I got into the lounge, I made a bee line to the dining table. Everyone was at the table eating their breakfast.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DjGKG5pBK
"Someone isn't themselves this morning," said Collins as he watched me approach the dining table.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12l7GvQR8n
I knew he was talking about how late I was today. I was usually the earliest to be at the dining table.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3tRZZKqR7
"Sorry," I said as sat down next to Lee. "I was pretty bummed up, that's why."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8HiKiFtCk
"No pressure, just eat up, we have a lot of work to do today."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrdL5cXBfv
There was a variety of breakfast options today and I decided to take some cereal, which I haven't had in a while.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO76GbnSkJp
As I got the box of cereal and poured the contents in the bowl in front of me, I couldn't help feel all eyes were on me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIqflwe8ep
I looked up and just as I had guessed it, all eyes were definitely on me. What had I done now? I put the box of cereal down.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmptdqqNhtr
I looked at everyone at the table and when they didn't say a word, I shrugged my shoulders.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSssLT6dO2
"What?" I asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnjPgzoVj4
Mike who sat opposite me cleared his throat. "You're eating cereal."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ekneNlTBE
I frowned. "So?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWhLSJo7U9
"But there is bacon and eggs with toast," said Daniel.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPloD3G3KAQ
I was still confused. "So?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfuw1R9jwg
"You usually don't eat cereal when there is bacon, eggs and toast," said Collins.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi8d5Ydoyj
"And cereal is kind of like my thing," said Daniel.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjnLoysoui
I don't know if I just hit my head or I had now landed in Crazy Town. What was wrong with just having cereal for a change?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhnWz7vmNz
"I don't see the harm in984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKsl1SD5j6
eating cereal. I have oatmeal whenever I feel like it and that's still 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwQBxRfq9z
cereal," I said. "I just wanted something different for a change. Is 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8orgWcOnH
that wrong?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nq9lkz4YP
Everyone else looked at each other and then they looked back at me, shaking their heads.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ge09snRx3
"Thank you," I said as I got a jug of milk and poured into the bowl. "I haven't had sweet cereal in a while and I miss it."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMZJXtUw6R
"I can see that," said 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJMECVWhqu
Zoey as she drank from her cup of coffee. I knew she was making fun of 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTfrKYgu5g
me but I decided not to say anything.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ux5LFDnoK
When we were done with 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMgg7cCwz6
breakfast, we headed downstairs in the lobby and the black SUV was 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKJJcQKdNr
waiting for us as usual. When we got in, I made sure to take the back 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ir2TjafFg
seat with my brothers next to the window so that I would avoid people 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDTpvP2L26
looking at my phone.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdp5lSSAaV
When everyone in the car984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA0B3PvX3z
was engrossed in some conversation that I had no interest in joining in984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r4uxyzNWN
or listening to, I decided to check my phone. The photo was done 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwYrxlxDcS
downloading and what I saw made my mouth drop and my eyes pop.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz8lB0ALgF
"What's wrong, Sam?" Mike who sat next to me asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZgvqTg0Kv
I quickly pressed the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGX9hRWf2A
power button on the side of the phone and blacked the screen. Mike was 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W4qKtYiLP
already leaning onto my side to see what was on my phone.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0EMhwb4E9
"Nothing, just some scary video," I said.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAUD90ofsY
"May I see?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW9g75LBCt
"No. You won't be sleeping for the next two days."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfLZ9u3gQ0
"I've watched horror movies before. I can handle a little scare."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3IaTdv39P
"No can do, bro," I said as I put my phone into my purse that I had decided to carry with me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCE9G0YWb2
Mike leaned back and folded his arms. "Whatever."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfhwPPTFkX
I wish I could tell him 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSI2ZMcVA0
and everyone else what was going on. But at the moment, I felt like 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6sF4YTyP2
keeping everything to myself, not after what I had seen.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBssqS818zR
Now that I had seen the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs4hzw0COz
photo, I had to meet up with the stranger and talk about all this. But 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNROk6m6vUQ
where to meet the person and when was going to be a hustle. It was 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBkOjzLUrW
pretty obvious that I had to meet him alone.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGImxI5YyDa
Speaking of which, I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc4yCUmv5C
still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySZYU3xuGV
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOiyMtblkr
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZnHIehxu5
choreography today. This was hectic. And I knew that if I was pushed 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK55MHHjTD
further onto the edge, I would burst.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdzBZVu1WY
Time seemed so short, given that I was thinking of ways to do things today. The next thing I knew, we had finally arrived at YG.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCSCM50Wdl
My heart skipped a beat.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqOPaGl923
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmr9d5dehq
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXPtOSFcQR
choice.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjChN6uf1as
As soon as I stepped out984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoAEIohifU
of the vehicle, I took a deep breath as I looked at the entrance. I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmDqOcazex
felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l59ol9WH8
"Are you okay, Sam?" Christine asked as she came to stand in front of me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjbby5DiZN
"I'm fine," I said. "I just realised that I haven't really thought of any ideas for the music video."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLgHH5qgq8
"You're aren't the only 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G3axuLB0V
one," Christine said with a smile. "Let's just hope our minds will get 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4ifNjkdkc
to work on that when we get in there."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TJcUgYitz
I managed to put up a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9gZXXDjpQ
smile, but I knew my mind wasn't going to be on full throttle today. How984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IONELjq5a
I wish this wasn't happening to me right now.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv9r3k2gah
As I came into the lobby984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABEkzWJ6Vw
with Christine, we found Collins talking to the receptionist. The rest 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jJ1rqdhRC
were heading towards the elevator and we joined them.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwQ5zfvB1C
"You will be going up to the dance studio," Collins said as he turned to us. "The others are waiting for you there."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXIqxVMfFB
"Okay," the others responded. I for one felt really jumpy at the moment.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JXx2d16A2
We all got in the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeVaY83lEs
elevator and Mike was busy talking about some dance moves he had come up984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6QTVOnxJP
with and I wasn't really paying attention though I did get one or two 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrbBxXU20R
things.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTVCzwu0Pv
We got to the dance 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TraubY24L
studio while Lee and Collins decided to go upstairs to meet with Yang 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhWKoARlO8
Hyun-suk. We checked a few dance studios before we finally found them.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L9TZXCfHz
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted so enthusiastically as we came in the room.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlWk5eTOc2
I was too lost in 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGeH6E4C8o
thought to even reply to the other's greetings until Seungri came up to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo4FW4jwlj
me and hugged me. That brought me right back down to earth.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2cywH7mCE
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seungri asked, still hugging me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uhMIuHsSB
"I'm fine," I said, as I pulled myself away.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMGeCAZLoA
"If I know you well, you look pretty occupied in that head of yours," said TOP as he walked up to us.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCteD7Wh7D
"Tell me about it," said984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxy4iYIN0e
Zoey as she was now on the floor with Daesung standing right beside her984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eXRxe0dha
and she was removing her shoes. "She's been weird all morning."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlM0fu6BNT
"How weird?" Taeyang asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVenlCNgcZ
"Too weird," said Daniel.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyWn8C5GhX
"Cut me some slack, guys," I said. I looked at Taeyang. "They are just saying nonsense."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebhgnACwK0
"Says the person who was so late to wake up today," said Zoey.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkIYeSIKyr
"And ate sweet cereal for breakfast instead of bacon, eggs and toast," said Christine.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWGFia88Rp
"And refused to give me her phone to check out what she was watching," said Mike.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oVPAw1ht6
I shrugged. "So? And Mike, seriously? Just over a phone?" I shook my head at my brother.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTBb8N2rXQ
"It's not like you, Sam," said Daniel. "That's all we are trying to say."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXWsGNqEip
I rubbed my forehead. "Look, guys, I'm just a little bummed out because of yesterday. Is that so wrong?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3sQDO2fAD
"No, I think something is bothering you," said Zoey, still on the floor.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7DtpYtZtf
"I'm fine. Trust me. My mind is pretty tired."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO2rJsgjjN
"Come on, guys, let's not stress her out because of this," said Daesung. "If she says she is tired, then she is."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdN63Bpg9I
Zoey slapped Daesung's leg with her hand and Daesung looked down at her. "Don't try to defend her."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyxBE77ObG
"I'm not."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKbcGKdtBm
Zoey snickered at him and I knew why. She still remembered the little incident yesterday with Daesung and me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDax8GLXNH
"Where is G-Dragon?" Daniel asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC1W7VzZRL
I looked around the room and I noticed that GD was the only group member who wasn't here.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPaOxEHUJ6
"He went to get the choreographer," TOP answered.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zgIdzWhQB
"Now, Sam, about your little problem...." said Mike, turning to face me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrCj3XWwEZ
"Not now, Mike," I said as I folded my arms. "You can attack me later, just not now."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXuAejhu1W
"Not to worry, my little kitty," said Seungri who stood right behind me. "Maybe this will cheer you up."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYrPCBPMil
Before I could turn 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRSa5CKutG
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREJL5LAjNU
head. My hand reached up for whatever it was.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKlER20BK6
"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqvdTw6Gue
I took the crown from 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkb3KfF5vI
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4etYq3QaiD
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzKUgCu9P9
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEnVZYj3a1
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPqVF2pmrO
"Wait, are these real diamonds?" I asked as I turned to look at Seungri with a surprised look on my face.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR7X0sSLL7
"It is," said Seungri 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7dYGg9F3H
with a huge smile on his face. "And I know how much you value sapphire 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2xicwjtFx
stones because it's your birth stone."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3XtwHBSM6
"Aww! Thank you so much,984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiwY4uK5oK
Seungri!" I gave him a hug and I couldn't stop smiling. Somehow, I knew984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN2Y3gAz2w
he was going to brighten up my day today.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u6HAmbI6n
"So pretty, let me see," said Christine, as she came and took the crown from my hand. "Wow!"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8uKlYwNG1
"I want to wear it," 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM9ANq6kDc
said Zoey as she got up from the floor and rushed to look at the crown. 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzOWGRDrso
Christine put the crown on Zoey's head.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dq3iFTugl
"Don't I look like a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER6RAsP57b
true queen?" Zoey asked as she looked at her reflection through the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfKZVNZXw6
studio mirrors that lined up the walls of the room.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBDePFMolQ
"You look like that evil witch in those fairy tale fantasy movies," said Mike.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTTiTxE0dB
"Haha, very funny," Zoey said as she turned to look at Mike.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkNzjxPr70
"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OABBtORMM
"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJvlIxBqUD
"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLcLeI8lm2
"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Wn8PJLh2
"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZDPrQA8wy
"May her royal majesty 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoLrkDeDvL
get her crown back?" Taeyang asked as he came behind Christine and took 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5H6NBTx7Z
the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeGe5nOxEo
"Oh, hail the queen!" Taeyang chanted and I broke into a laugh, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuPYSzoqtr
"Stop it, will you? You're making me blush," I said, trying to cover my laugh with my hand.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXANw7fKC8Q
"You look just like a real queen, Sam," said TOP.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1rlm06kDG
"Thanks." I was still blushing like crazy.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssR4QqvPcD
"Let me take a photo," said Daesung, pulling out his phone.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9AqWOtWbo
"Ya. The whole world should see the queen of k-pop," said Zoey.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx5mRuj3l4
"Are you really calling me that?" I asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWMWsFBZ6z
"We did win last night, didn't we?" Zoey asked. "Of course I'm calling you that."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfQX5b4nYA
I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't really taking it that seriously. It was nothing but a game."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlujE7v50j
"A game we won. Cheer up. We are all kings and queens with you."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqRJ6vAsoV
I looked on at Zoey trying to smile as best as I could, but somehow I couldn't.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMq4zHqHcZ
She couldn't tell the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzgTd8JOPU
look on my face because she didn't even ask. Daesung went ahead and took984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0rRcQatwF
pictures of me, and then we huddled together as a group to take a group984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCGRn36yjC
photo with me in the middle.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8tVijJ60i
"Hey, what's going on here?" G-Dragon asked as he came in the room.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGb4Sw9ThV
"Taking photos with the queen," said Daniel.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCJ0Gvp4MB
"The queen?" G-Dragon looked confused until he saw the crown on top of my head. "Oh..."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXh8ZzEkPo
"It's pretty, isn't it?" Zoey asked. "You should also get me one."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRe1flJdG2
"I can make a gold one if you want," said G-Dragon.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X5jd45JMJ
Zoey smiled. "Even better."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIReMqAwVkD
G-Dragon turned to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ipviQfpc7
Taeyang. "The choreographer is going to be here any moment now. So I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOmWn1t5Q8
suggest we bring out your ideas if you have any. We can start without 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ3Q2LUBSx
him and he will find us."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNRJbZKgzX
"Mike told me over the phone earlier that he had some brand ideas," said Taeyang.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNSoZsX28s
"Ya, I do," said Mike. "You guys just watch. I have the song in my phone so I'll play it from there."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr7F0TbmRO
We all stood on one side984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwmuNcZ2dE
of the room while Mike took off his jacket and got his phone to search 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FhbXZogjA
for the track. He gave Daniel to hold the phone and when he positioned 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlALfitYSsP
himself in the middle of the room and turned to look at us.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMouMUnCeSa
"So, I was thinking, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo2MeDR0LH
since G-Dragon and Zoey start the first verse, they should open up the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gzwQE43tf
dance floor. So, I need someone to act as Zoey so that I could show you 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWniWeZuT2
guys."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiM2n2lNhu
Christine came forward 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3sfha19Ju
and Mike gave her a few instructions on what to do. She nodded her head 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXrfa8ZA2I
and Mike told Daniel to press the play button on cue.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCUDk4zfe0
With Christine and Mike 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RVHPkw03d
each facing opposite directions with their backs touching, the music 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPcQRAbGtC
started to play. Still not looking at each other, the two started the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGO8muuDMf
dance with each of them taking a step forward, breaking the contact 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamEsZn7aPo
between them and then like a powerful force pulling them, they dragged 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiixhGGue1y
themselves back and they again their backs touched.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtq58Fig74
With a bit of skilful 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum53iL2IwI
footwork, they turned to face each other and with their hands, they drew984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohTY3wyfYZ
closer and then skidded away from each other with their hands in the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak9kVnf0e9
air.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBttyV5jPLg
"Then you guys will come in through the middle then make a formation in front."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5CoO509Is
"That's pretty awesome," said Taeyang.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMUbA3YX9C
"Very smart," said G-Dragon.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcwOLhKTTS
"Let's practise that," said Zoey taking G-Dragon's hand and taking him in the middle of the dance floor.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2iVe4GWbm
"I'll take you through the moves," said Mike as he faced them.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dZq2xKQkT
"Your brother is a total genius, isn't he?" TOP asked as he stood next to me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTU1eT12WY
"Ya, he is," I said with a smile.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC32WBOht4
The door soon opened and984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoe5a17QMH
the person who I guessed was our choreographer walked in. We stopped 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTcoNV98PD
what we were doing and bowed as he came further in the room.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4lsMmDb7g
"So, I see you guys are already getting started," said the choreographer.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB0xGfY2hO
"Yes, we are," said Seungri.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTHkHZKSPV
"Okay, let me see what you have done so far."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqQn2zcfeN
Mike and Christine 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zdsfanhm9
stepped forward and the music playing on Mikes phone, they did the dance984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE2673inYM
routine. After their hands broke apart, Mike explained how the rest of 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlJ69mJfvp
us will come in the scene.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ycy0bu77r
"Mmmm," the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiUO88YWSZ
choreographer looked on at Mike as he tapped his chin. For a moment I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFncaF4CpW
thought he was going to say something bad, but he didn't.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVDyiGq0bx
"I like it," said the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKhj3zwc6R
choreographer. "So far, the starting part is brilliant. I wouldn't have 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKvUAIYJQl
thought of anything better. Now let's see if Zoey and G-Dragon could 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJi1aAFrHx
quickly work on their moves then we will come to the part when everyone 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCxP6rApEW
comes in."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Mn74MOvy
Zoey and G-Dragon took 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoY9FDvKSA
to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirDi50E6DS
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJtn824LG4
were perfect.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW0mPhhgGs
"Excellent," said the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7THpenaxnI
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbjzSUIZeq
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUztR1IITJM
them like a doorway. We will come in a straight line and then make a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTXzN4bwnt
formation in front of them."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAEiWprTIn
We did as the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLQv8v6dwz
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgbRRqp3wi
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjoyLCi6sV
the hang of it.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN7lXfRNK0
A few minutes later, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduhqFEFfaI
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUyeRmuzQD
that we can take a break with some of us with our backs on the floor and984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYDgmlNhov
staring at the ceiling. Others were seated.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPs5T0ubrk
"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8VmmeYmK6
I laughed, also staring 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDmCoMXv7M
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyU3db9MFp
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUkg0VSxdK
"Ya, true," said Christine who also had her back on the floor and laid a few feet away from me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr356iN4Z4k
Speaking of problems, I completely forgot about that French guy.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyI7HMo2uR
I quickly scrambled up 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQJgu73yvh
from the floor passing Mike and Taeyang who were seated on the floor and984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RGODUh9Dy
still talking about the dance moves. I went to the corner of the room 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFHWY2Vfh1
where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRkr0jqkpv
and removed my phone.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn1okHFGVy
I sent a message to the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWPoaTmSJt
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfp6okQtSZ
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS0B3fxlkv
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03mopuTO7g
"Good. We should meet."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7gMmmqjmm
Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtf5ZlpJbA
"I can't see you today. I'm kind of busy."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kelxF2RQU
"But this is a very important issue, Sam."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYZuYOOXZL
Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4GmPtCWNf
I texted, "what happens if I don't meet with you today?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9waRy0wP4x
"You're one smart 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeejjQpcreH
girl. I don't have to explain because you know what will happen when the984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB9SWRAkRz
whole world sees this. It's today or never. And never comes with 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKSrjj7kXF
consequences."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhWzJQkNeJ
I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80xxEYoiZj
"Fine. I'll tell you when to meet when I'm done."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UP2Ka0qFp
"That's my girl."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkEUt6nuDX
I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AlMXnPnBf
As I tucked my phone 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLNmwL6JYw
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8WuO7CcdW
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQK1lwl9ed
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQxKJSokTX
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCBtUvsdWB
I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25bEhwQUR5
When they both turned to984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf16Q2tPEDm
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8PDY1EC7p
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFUlj3PhX1
couldn't help but feel that they were.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq9An8qZND
I laid back down 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIU4B9Wow3
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICoJKh7dOI
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzwpsIyNUs
two of us had in our room this morning?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8VDw0YlmV
Yikes! If she did, then I984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1QFqn8KKh
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy6C8ibxy0
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UQbszTkVN
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyKaoWBgsc
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEVhEXIIL6
Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJZyE9JUIk
"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBq8y3kKAG
"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2vmg0pZNN
"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSISAeJvwj1
Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnSQ0n9nI8
"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvA6NXbBoV
"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzi7O8h4vV
"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9atDl77I5Z
"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3wKydNzw7
"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOD0hRKtH9
"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCldfSuuBV
"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxkoktGDkq
"No. It sounds great."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB78jMsbE0S
"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibgbMS66wd
"Well, not for some of us who ended up playing cop," I said, replaying in my mind what a hectic time I had that day.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4LUgaKhoP
"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASJkmS5jW0
"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbP8pICpre
"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76BC8KUEdM
"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbStMCIca6W
"True," said Taeyang.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn3xwZYHU1
"Okay," I said, feeling a984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmXihVr4Im
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EC9mlO8ed
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HxuykTxs1
"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF8eASuqFT
After the three had 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq4XN4gY1c
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDmqexN3wd
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg2cpaBgiS
While we waited, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H7rf2FyUs
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8lJ6Qo2M9
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN6PMSRefB
expression on his face.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs1L0vAgJ2
"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2emRPQhf7
He sounded serious and I984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKoKSbI2Q8
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgPXIBUpPR
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLE0eRBPk8
"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5bcrd77xc
I got up from the floor 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbDKqLjaGE
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2v5My5CP4
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizJoa1RDyv
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4bb2C7JeB
I found G-Dragon three 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A4TKy9Yy1
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgZoBYGtZ1
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zGLDLn2IW
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XrF1I8AaS
close.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjbaslVddY
"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMKA0PwFdO
G-Dragon turned to look at me and I could see he was upset. It was good that I wasn't that close to him in the first place.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZXxEnis14
"It's about Zoey," he said.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hNUX8mUOz
I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6st9RTSfk4
"She did," he said as he nodded his head. "What's up with you lately? Didn't we agree that I would tell her everything?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBy6GwexLG
"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4zxlERjf4
"Really? That's all you can say?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaoft7QyDI
"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWTNws1uEa
"But you almost had."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxStfqu492
"Yet I couldn't."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfCAxXty0D
"Zoey is right. You're 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzmFgUgJ6T
been acting really weird today. Weird enough to tell her the truth when 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5cYJAvOob
you know I was supposed to do it."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q6IwwuzPv
"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzKyrrDYoh
"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKCjrRqQVw
I paused before I could say, "what?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QfsDh5aJD
"You heard me loud and 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOtPTIhWul
clear, Sam. As though kissing Daesung wasn't enough, you're now trying 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP1ThAZFrp
to take matters into your own hands."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mp8Qf9TTp
Oh no. He knew Daesung and I kissed. I wonder how he found out because I didn't tell anyone about it. Not even Zoey.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gvR9zON9S
"Wait, that's not true," I said.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UwX2PhmwJ
"Which one? You kissing Daesung or taking matters into your hands?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEITQwMG5nl
I now realised that I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbnTEMdXjJ
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GPSgrlgQs
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeIo3Udu5U
assumption right. But there was no point in hiding now. The truth was 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWGrMJ41lR
bound to come up sooner rather than later.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqswjEWJHU6
"Aren't you going to answer? Which one of the two?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmNufUrVOa
I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecp5piQqqI
"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tUZkyit1B
"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDbSveW83I
G-Dragon took a step 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTttHWEvbJ
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhJtjL0Njb
you kiss my best friend who is like a brother to me!"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBMUlNwG41
"You wanted the truth, didn't you? You got one! But backstabbing you wasn't what happened."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGMAaQgHkK
"Then what did happen?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlAXtc4TsX
"All of this is nothing 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgyFLYD7Tj
but a misunderstanding. I never went back on my word. Things just 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbXgiKugki
happened that I myself couldn't control."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HrKwnQYFL
"Don't lie to me, Sam."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTNyW4XyYt
"You know what, I'm 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75hZFY7yoV
trying my best here to try and tell you the truth but you're acting like984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYU7zxrA1U
a deaf person blocking my words out. I knew from the very beginning 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M2y8TOjnp
that I could never be with you nor with Daesung and I have accepted it. I984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uDbltDF8L
talked about that with him yesterday. That's why he kissed me."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIGORQkLOE
G-Dragon shook his head. "So you're saying that he kissed you and not that you kissed him?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzgfFzJAsk
"Yes. But I know you 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Rj7uRwEE
won't believe me. Unlike you, at least Daesung realised and accepted it 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLVV6OA5gK
for himself that he and I could never be together."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEHvfMI2eK
I looked at G-Dragon and I knew I hit the spot. I just hope that what I said would make him understand.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO97a8Zogr
"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENuL03DOcY
I turned around to head 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKLOhtEZxD
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4HPG4VPBn
angry. I was frustrated and my problems were far from over.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKQbfFXKAx
When I came back in the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4H7h3ceJX
studio, all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I could tell on 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICo3rYHnj5
their faces that they had heard the entire conversation.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhogjMydHEq
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYwjC6Natj
I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiwl6f8Nl0
I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtLt63Laf4
"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqekFUlJEsZ
I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg4T3sS8IR
I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2i7Eqrbaw
I heard the door open 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmAe1HeEO1
behind me and I knew G-Dragon had come into the room. At the corner of 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEztS491XU
my eye, I could see Zoey turn towards the door.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneKfeQz1KS
"Care to explain to us what's going on?" Mike asked G-Dragon. "You two argued and we could hear you guys down the hall."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwyu0D7qty
"It's nothing," I heard G-Dragon say.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhNRzRgybj
"It's nothing? Looking at both of your faces, something did happen," said TOP.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4f9ZX8sHi
"Look guys," I said as 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDXLJya4EF
quickly stood up from the floor and turned to face them. "Tell me if I'm984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B8mocu5se
wrong, but you guys heard the entire conversation, right?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht4jg51mOz
No one said anything and they had guilty looks on their faces. That settled it.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4r303QQDB
"I'm sorry you had to hear all that," I said as I scratched my head. "We shouldn't have been so loud."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM1VxAujIL
"Why didn't you two tell us all this before?" Seungri asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHMF0fD2Yx
I didn't say anything 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2E2YYBCti
and neither did G-Dragon. We looked at each other and then at the others984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxL7bnRCZO
who were waiting for either of us to say something.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI8uFMXgLP
Before anyone could 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pap7dS3Zs
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kp93unzyX
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV6IEmnONH
we went back to practising.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLs0DC7wHB
I don't know how I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1RNH1rOkY
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps7hwPW1jP
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNPwwa2YsQ
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu3GDcjJLC
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADUviqygyx
head in the real world and not mess things up.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7l1uEUXNr
It was lunch time and 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ47H8SaUN
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGupEr5iBy5
was so tired, I wondered if I would be able to meet up with the unknown 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm5tw35EW9
stranger.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6LKwejouB
Now that we were on a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI06ab6evg
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQAP07mpLx
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKVxKPuMyc
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxndV0iiPgZ
too awkward for me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZBuuHYeEx
Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutyK3vJY8e
I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpllkkM1Xju
"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboy06gKRYN
Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPknHeqUU4O
"Well, you guys can talk if you want," said Seungri, "but I'm hungry."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUGeIWGyin
"Ya, me too," said Daniel.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslQSk5jTxS
"We can order a pizza," said Christine.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvYoETsp4n
"Good idea," said Taeyang.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD5xSpCV1n
As though they couldn't 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAciAJkBdpb
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSHvutb1Zo
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEKnLB7fp7
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was entirely my fault.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc4JqzVjLV
A few seconds later, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xt4rRdnMk
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFsk6iXfq3
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtagEaOYwj4
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfwRrjSekE
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0btfJwSNfK
As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtGEtRiNuu
"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO96XViWDM
"A lot has happened 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrp22KC4cm
today that I need to tell you, Lee," I said, keeping my voice down in 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0XASWHiL3
case there were any people snooping around.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18wejBmRTd
"What? What's happened?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyMKlx5nAo
"Everyone now knows the truth about G-Dragon and I. They heard us arguing."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagK6AUKKja
I could hear Lee gasp and I pictured her ready to drop and faint. "For real? Oh, gosh, this is bad."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH3TMTz6Qs
"That's not the worst 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8r7uCr32s
part," I said as I found myself at the end of the hall going down a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztvXV6DsDJ
flight of stairs. "A weird guy called me today and I need to meet him."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWujPz6XaS
"Huh? What for? Who is this guy?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICnEmm80Vc
"Like I said, he is 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3hTTsQASp
weird. Something bad came up and if I don't meet him soon, a lot of us 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ezk9hWtIB
are going to be toast especially with the press."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlfwQUkU6R
"Is he blackmailing you or something?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFRUTNMfeO
"I'm not sure if I can 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGW6yqcbDH
call it that. But if I'm affected too, then it kind of looks that way. 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvVExjzIld
Do me a favour and meet me at the back of the building."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyrqdxpHU0
Lee paused. "Why? You aren't going to meet him, are you?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U6nesfCnQ
"I've no choice and I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRbdAv9Hwb
would better do it now because we are going to be here for a while until984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sQ8DaGuAe
we are done with the dance routine. Bring me a pair of sunglasses, a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLlfPKLzD2
cap and a scarf."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc3T9d2ouK
"What will you need that for?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lrl5s2trO
"Trust me," I said as stopped on the stairs. I wasn't too sure which floor I was on at the moment.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ477SDig4Zb
"Okay, fine. I'll see where I can get those."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALFeZBXvLX
"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskbh9yC6N8
I cut the call and this 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmsQ5m0dUO
time, I ran down the stairs with a new found energy. I was tired from 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dtpsk2ssG
all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTD8WarRAv
I reached the bottom of 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiNUx2xvla
the steps. I had reached the ground floor. There was a passage behind 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv81WfDGDZ
the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuKGblgHqj
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFjkirXFgP
voices that I could recognise.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRlSODKvNa
I went over to look, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg71fYwbycJ
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK1Z3zjF4A
Toxins and BigBang in the lobby heading out. They were going out for 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1scBEnnPwS
lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could turn around and 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9kVweDAjs
head for the back door, I ended up hearing their conversation.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGspjcjGbd
"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Q8myw2zW
"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdhCyiU7Fx
"I'm just surprised that984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTGhE53q1s
you kissed my sister," said Mike. For some reason, I was surprised that984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRpTZpCude
he wasn't upset like I thought he would.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTNXEkFFpv
"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkBZoqHmtJ
"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnphcQK0KUV
"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHthzi4P8tX
"I think so too," said 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag2udRUtGk
Daniel. "But just in case, we would order her and the others a takeout. 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaVsT5UQ8V
Sometimes Sam would starve herself without even realising it."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1QClgN6hR
The next thing I knew, their voices became distant. I peeked again and I saw that they had already walked out of the lobby.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtGmc1a7v3
I was expecting them to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VoQgeCoHY
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1wRUkzcWR
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ttti2q3vu
Who knows?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhuVRlFKmC
Throwing that thought 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVvhOmwGWT
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9sNsrfISZ
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0YIDcvDES
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTa5iJJtdC
There were still more 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLNY8if4aC
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuX4akLg3N
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZee4Y9Qyb
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPcKWroNEa
front and I knew the others were leaving until I heard the noise fade 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUdBv0H84t
away.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa7MOG4MbL
In what seemed like 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WeH58OMxE
forever, Lee appeared around the corner of the building with her 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6yPMRaNzz
handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVdoE0dTV9
"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4z0aqKd1S
"Don't act all grumpy on me," said Lee. "So as to let you know, finding what you wanted wasn't all that easy."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpDafuR04X
"Okay, thanks," I said as Lee gave me her bag and I gave her my crown and purse to hold. "Hold this."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4cyXfNUly
"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyxhf9Ut1E
"Seungri," I answered as I rummaged through the bag to get the items out.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eqh2GT8nY
"This is so pretty. These diamonds look so real."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfclqUYkp1
"They are," I said as I put the blue baseball cap on.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPChta6D5gg
"So sweet of him to do this," said Lee. She looked at me. "Are they all still inside?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpBC2kEcqS
"They have gone out for 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5bzDRS5Ny
lunch. But Zoey and G-Dragon are talking in the studio. Hopefully things984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDST0MhbcB
will work out okay. Though I highly doubt it will."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzQFpZ5dUz
"Things are really bad, huh?" Lee asked with a sad expression on her face.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBUnyF706l
"Ya. And they are about 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Vypvr1Bh
to get a whole lot worse. Wish me luck." I put on the sunglasses and the984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh76gywavf
light scarf around my neck. Lee gave me back my purse.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OpH3BL5Tp
"Okay. Tell me how everything goes," said Lee. "Want me to escort you out of the gate?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsnWwAO4Q2
"Ya, that will be a good984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMAsOyatZg
idea," I said. "Leaving me alone would be dangerous and who knows what 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkBXKzqTfP
the guards might think when they see me."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0wv47r0Tx
Lee and I started to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLl9FF43L4
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lmtl8BI17
parking lot. As we were heading towards the gate, Lee started some 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM4d05qE0u
random conversation and I played along making sure not to look 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqsR5nol2Q
suspicious in front of the guards who didn't seem to be paying much 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2AXtp0M7F
attention. I made sure that they didn't notice my face.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabiI1fILEQ
When I finally managed 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwQgsYDruM
to get out of the gate, Lee wished me luck. I nodded my head and walked 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTTtWrEbeL
away from the YG gate and down the street.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPcljmD54A
I had to admit, I was so984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RgRoW2Vrk
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvurdHzKqu
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTDvqZ55s5
in the streets by myself. Going around alone was too dangerous for me 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OBh7d1oac
and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu2NJDUAiE
After walking a few 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjoGIggPmr
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LEHM4rusB
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLFfphFf1a
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcZIzNOsYg
the road with a few people and got to the other side of the street.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHrRoXU2LL
As I walked, passing a shoe shop, I took my phone out from my purse and called the unknown man.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrJYEsrRuz
"Ah, you finally called," said the stranger who had answered after the first ring. "I've been waiting."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKikqEQwoY
"Ya, I figured," I said, looking around hoping that no one noticed me but the cap hid my face984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyoHxoDFVp
pretty well. "I've no idea where to meet you and I'm not so familiar with the place."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZolHhxrv7
"Not to worry, dear. I already see you. Nice disguise by the way. I can hardly tell it is you under that baseball cap."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C8sz5NTrF
I froze as I soon looked984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpz2y99XPX
left and right and across the street hoping to see him. But I couldn't 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nJyHEOzZI
spot out any French native among the midst of Koreans. Feeling a little 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnW17v3mX0
out of place, I figured I might just be the odd one around here too.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaH4p9Cyl6
I heard him laugh 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDrv9gMehi
through the phone and I could tell he was making fun of me. "Not to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlW8PUEW3M
worry, Sam. Be careful or you might just blow your cover."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ959Mbc9D02
I gritted my teeth. "Just show yourself. Where are you?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUIZhKXG6H
"I'm right here."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuupv91Fc5m
"Right where?" I looked around and still nothing. People walked past me and I got frustrated. "Don't try play games with-"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsUH5H82z7
My sentence was cut 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrFIygUDLD
short when down the road, a fancy black shiny Bugatti parked at the edge984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISs5hx3fSX
of the concrete slab right in front of me. I looked on with my mouth 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMzdydNWGU
agape. I have always admired fancy cars but this was one hell of a ride.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuSpn64uLr
A smartly dressed 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xIEPtoNRh
looking chauffeur came out of the driver's seat and came to my side. 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG4sPMXGzN
With his white gloved hand, he opened the door to the passenger's seat.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP9unA0RvO
"You may go in, mademoiselle," said the driver in deep French accent, as he bowed.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwXvWAehSY
At first I was dumbfounded and I didn't know whether to run and head back to YG, or just go in and get this over with.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYOD8lSvcJ
A few heads turned my 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVzIPnSbUO
way and I could only imagine what people must think of a Bugatti and a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Sfvq0QWO
smartly dressed chauffeur waiting for me to go in. Strange, I suppose 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBnmvxyPwl
and a little suspicious too.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dPagsEOnW
I managed to awake from 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCATwS6Zwg
my slumber and got in the car before people fully start to look at me 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrWXED9gB5
and figure out who I was. As I got in, a nice car smell wafted in the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQHXvfcswI
air and into my nostrils. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRbaiCSnBo
driver's seat.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPylOtRb6ES
"Samantha Glasson, nice to finally meet you at last," came a deep voice.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT66NMr8eq7
With my eyes, I looked 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qWWZJMYl5
at the person sitting right beside me in the passenger's seat. For a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX6sylVB1S
moment, I was scared. But when I looked at the man fully, my face fell.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs5pUqPgOk
He looked to be in the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNUxvO9tvy
same age group as me but maybe two years older. I guessed in my head 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwWa1YzrjL
that he must be 24 or 25. He had gorgeous blue eyes like the colour of 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjNbeIOVoo
the sea and brown short curly hair. His dashing lips were lifted up into984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiViTK0UV2
a smile and under that navy blue suit of his, I could tell he was one 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVtAcZ61pw
who had one heck of a body.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3hu2KML73
I hadn't said a word and984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3efmA5IAEq
the car started to drive down the road when the young man offered his 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH76lWVgc5
open hand. I stared at it and noticed a shiny gold Rolex on his left 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgpgn714K7
wrist. Who was this guy?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBq0Jkx6kX
"Aren't we going to shake hands?" he asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk85cMSlyuq
I opened my mouth but 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOeLw4VRAX
then closed it again knowing that it was pointless to argue. I took his 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINqRHNxYNh
hand and shook it, scared that I might receive a shocking zap from the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjelDjQG64
contact.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9j0daSnb7
"And you must be the guy I was talking to over the phone?" I asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OwtlB0ITF
"Yes, a pleasure to meet984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Cr7enuLa
your acquaintance." He lightly pressed his lips on the back of my palm 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhrEqgIWYo
and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcA55j6tvT
"I'm sorry we had to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE6ItNrqa7
meet under such awkward circumstances," he said as he leaned back in the984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyQwZ8Ihrc
fancy leathered seats. "But I needed to talk to you, and fast."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBglfmZeGV
I looked at him and 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbPQUcw0Em
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3fLz5i8LB
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG7MwDDWSq
This guy right beside me looked like one of those handsome Greek gods we984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtir7XgQ08g
hear about in mythical tales.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvreLsXOSs
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with the corner of his lips raised up to a smile.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2bbxPhKQw
"I...uh." Yikes! I was 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp1t13SpnK
caught looking at him. I blushed and turned to face the window beside 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKcPKKj51e
me. "Nothing. This wasn't what I was expecting."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpqStHhmxt
There was silence and I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuDZbXEeob
didn't want to look at him. He was obviously looking at me and that made984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHJlEYGoMW
me play around with my fingers because I was nervous. Then I realised 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k3foeFfwo
something.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMDIPrGCz7
"You never told me your name," I said as I looked at him. Dang it! I wasn't supposed to look at him.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKsWvek4Nx
"Oh, silly me. Where are my manners? I'm Derrick."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvibXX7IWdt
"That's a weird name, given that you're French."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCDNalHJOJ
"I was born in the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRrvaIxj1e
States and my parents preferred giving me this name even though they are984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGPsjs8yVG
both French. I grew up in France almost my whole life and my parents 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPg1XK5i4y
are people who like to travel a lot for business. Building their 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hI7amjhr7
business empire is what's so important to them."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLVxmyVhqT
"I can clearly see that," I said as I wondrously looked around in the car.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1UWRkwsSQ
My expression might have amused him because he chuckled. I blushed as I pushed my glasses further up my nose and folded my arms.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccv3k3C5B2
"This is going to be fun," he said to himself.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODLQXWNA1M
I changed the topic. "About the photo, why did you want to see me?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QUxe74yaS
"Can we talk about this over lunch?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS8lx53EIr
"Lunch?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhguNZyakY
"Yes, lunch."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZCYgP3QPP
A moment ago, I wasn't in the mood for lunch. But now that he mentioned it, I was starving.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsRDTik2jp
"Lunch sounds good. But not in the open. I don't want to grab any attention."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEObu3Gpro
"Of course. I figured you would want that. Given that no one knows where you are anyway."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiewbqSkpX
I raised an eyebrow at 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqK8LMqqrL
him. "You've been following me the whole time, haven't you? That's how 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DRXpSKa5m
you have been able to find me on the street."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8pjPodlny
He gave me that dashing 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjmkbzkxvd
smile of his. "Of course. I just had to. I knew sooner or later that we 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ351s08nqmF
would meet. I had to come prepared."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIYanWtV7s
"That's sounds creepy if you ask me," I said as looked out the window. "So, where are we going?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoUhz4WAi3
"My apartment. It's much safer there."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyPvwiNGl7
"You own an apartment?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdO3842YPH
"Like I said, my parents travel around for world and South Korea, is one of their favourite spots."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ZgZhpEcg
"So, it's their apartment then and not yours."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgnxSqaa7Q
"They have their own apartment and I have mine."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlNFNeuZAc
"Oh." I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqirNtxN5nb
"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuBMN3hS1s
It was a huge apartment 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq5d13xw2C
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERKdXkNVj4
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCDqEnEBR9
After the car parked, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC4JyUi4bN
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafLntQqDBk
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo9Zlu6be1
car, Derrick held out his hand to help me out. I took his hand and I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz8ld6kKqf
came out of the car.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaRsDE5NkV
Derrick lead the way, 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr77LvIGZP
still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgLPnu2p1y
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GEfZRKfpX
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf99hZo2ihf
Derrick pressed the elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8fgK7vsvV
When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzEusjMTQw
"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j0qeXGjDe
"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1DXlaqX32
"Everything," I said as I looked at him. "But one thing I don't get is why you're involving me in all this."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZsZvoAVKq
"But don't you want to know what's going on?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4PjP3cz5h
"Well, ya, I do! You're 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgkD5TBjJl
the one who sent me the photo so I'm curious. Do you know what? It was 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndyFZwkwOc
best you didn't send it to me in the first place."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TfxQpPlGc
"Why?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V7VLS5gnP
"Maybe then I wouldn't be here."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlCE8AcdTv
The elevator doors flew 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6GfRyHYaN
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPSgJFiby8
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhtjaJH4wQ
you were to see it for yourself, you would think you had just stepped 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMMxGuuA3I
into heaven.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShxgICzNrt
I stepped out of the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHfeCHgCCC
elevator and beautiful paintings lined up the walls. I noticed that the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ws5NqorvK
doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeECXQTksvj
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lm3F0oGgb
soft red carpet.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVVE2fgKvY
"This place looks nice," I said as I walked down the hall.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbLBcLcv5d
"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniOOYe3R3G
I looked down the hall 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfWw7BoQa9
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOGbvKSYTP
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOEgPCzBBP
front of me stood a smartly dressed butler. It's like he knew I was 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzsUoJhDBz
coming.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV57B6f7xkm
"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJhJKgFJpX
For a moment, I hesitated. Until I felt Derrick behind me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gIACAsaaV
"Ladies first," said Derrick.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnc2129saQ
I gulped and took a step into his apartment.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Sh92Y9Ii
"This place is very 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb06hH40IEq
nice," I said when I looked around the foyer and I when turned round the984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL4ZVyMBmL
corner, there was lavishly looking sitting room with creamed coloured 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLX6RI8jXJ
sofas with a glass coffee table and I huge smart screen TV pinned on the984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO0q5MWrH2
wall.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhm9B7xtn7
I looked to the other 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm2t8LPkp5
side and there was a fancy looking table with a beautuful chandelier 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpg6FDmxbl
above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL87tYUVYba
beautiful flower vases with orchids.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPblF9iChy
"I see you like 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyc9TCN1I8
orchids," I said as I went over to the flower vase close to the sitting 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPZ8mlaJ6Q
area and looked at the orchids. They were fresh and lovely.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8J0WGfTqI
"I know you like roses," said Derrick as he stared at me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdx4g2kNPZ
"Almost everything that celebrities like and don't like are always found on the internet." I rolled my eyes at him.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuO6AtWU2T
"True, but I can tell what a woman likes and doesn't."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOZoNBBOcY
I gave him a smile that showed how impressed I was.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66q5wgcz5p
"Lunch is ready, sir," said the butler. "Should I serve the food?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI6QdqCxJn
"Yes, please," sad Derrick.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHQyyp1KMV
The butler bowed and 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08eNDM1Gp3
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqWjpIX4mx
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8iytk24ix
ground.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nJqHp8Uk4
"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zv8QZaHKF
"We are," said Derrick who came to join me by the window. "This place is lovely, isn't it?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2b62sx11p
"Ya, it surly is." I knew he meant Seoul.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ3qAbSpP9
"Food is ready, Master Derrick," came the butler behind us.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFcJQIvmy8
"Shall we?" Derrick gestured his hand towards the dining table and I walked up to it with him following behind me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bYKKlbJtu
As we got to the dining 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsOQ1h5iI8
table, Derrick pushed back a chair for me and I took my seat, removing 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjD5lIhDo6
my glasses and cap putting the glasses in my purse. I said thank you and984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzv5vrSzEh
he sat at the head of the table right next to mine.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVwCtDtRqC
The butler had served 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCF1PE0jT4
our plates on the table and just by looking at the cutlery and napkins 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh73cMvQm0V
laid and folded neatly I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ193Z3InDON
fancy fairytale. The table was set to perfection and the wine glasses 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaQFg6sqUv
next to the plates were spotless.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3ItNPsDkt
Dishes of food were 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgBgKXlhF0
lined in the middle of the table and my mouth couldn't help but water. 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91GZUHpNzF
If I wasn't in such an elegant apartment, I would have just dug in and 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUm7gaJTSj
started to eat. I was really hungry. But for now, I had to act like a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuytpHvfezm
lady.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHk15ekZv3
The butler helped to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuSLmeUrO9
serve the food and I didn't hesitate eating right there and then. I made984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3wKcz46AK
sure not to eat too much and take my time.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGKda9yja6
"This was really good," I said, after I was done with my food.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPUttMVqql
"France's finest traditional dishes," said Derrick with a smile.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp2SA4Njn2
"Now, about the issue at984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7cKme539q
hand," I said, wiping the corner of my mouth with a napkin as the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc5la0wkDE
butler came to take away my plate and also Derrick's.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSUPMQpBwM
"Let's talk then," said Derrick.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv15IVJh6r
"First of all, I need to know why you sent it to me."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkGNDMEmZ0
"Because as much as you don't want to get involved, it concerns you more than you can ever imagine."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeFX5sC5ul
I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLcGZK50QU
"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pLlaUzJ6d
The photo showed Zoey in984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKLdY1zI9k
a some place that looked like a garden or a park and in front of her 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkX5tAMhw1
stood a man I couldn't recognise. His face was hidden because his back 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCFKRAT1uD
faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxMFazxeZg
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lgcHpGQNR
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWWCvAtxEu
"I know this isn't 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRWZz8UGBh
really supposed to concern me," I said as Derrick looked at the photo 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZgeDrFiBs
and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0NqbQ9vMP
"That's my brother," Derrick answered.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKm6jfzasj
Now that was a surprise. Derrick had a brother?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUFrUqXCDH
"Wait? Brother?" I raised an eyebrow.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWneAqQOS2h
"Sadly, yes," said Derrick clearing his throat.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH8DoO1jqR
I looked at the photo 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTleezVTGSd
again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaZUX23rjL
Paris with G-Dragon and the others? And this person in the photo is your984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqjjMXp3qT
brother?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YOnUqqh9l
I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ZUlm5vi6
"You never told me you had a brother," I said, looking at Derrick.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2sieFIGf3
"We don't really get along," said Derrick.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgLhhvioon
"That figures," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Why?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeeLHBcSVF
"We have been different from each other since we were kids. You can't even tell that he and I are brothers."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW3iMG3AOg
"So, what's do you think he wants with Zoey?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72DDKwjF9n
"I have no idea but I know it's something serious."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKA5Ku4Lsg
"So, you're just assuming all this or what?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjiMLkXNJN
"I know my brother very 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eT7spKi88
well. I know something is going on between the two of them. I had my 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c5IqdsQwK
suspicions during the Chanel fashion show."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV5Umk72G6
I then remembered the 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD88FbTn5Nv
time Zoey came back to Korea the following day after the fashion show. 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LJWhX3XWl
She was acting all weird and the way she had hugged me surprised me a 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMxP09i226
little. And so did the others. Were these guys really in trouble?984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0a5M11KjV
"Are my brothers and Christine involved in this too?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuFfiauRw7
"I can't be too sure. You have to ask them."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxNcFG0TQE
"But that's strange. If 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSviR0Rzfr0
it's something so serious as you put it, they would have told me. I 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87h2QoGttr
don't see the reason why they would hide."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmdjWBWLUV
"If it's anything concerning my brother, I suggest you find out what's going on and fast. I don't like it."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYkRwBaeFw
"But what if all this isn't that serious? In fact, what makes you think your brother is that dangerous enough to hurt us?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwnKkiJmst
Derrick leaned back on his chair as he looked at me and I waited for him to answer.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHjECYyYH3
"My brother isn't one person to mess around with. He is one person who threatens when things don't go his way."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pOAAkozRi
"You think he is threatening Zoey?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFteMm1PNd
"He did visit Zoey in that café, didn't he?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1FZDGC3RM
"Wait! That was him?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JwBfVlYjE
"Yes. I was there."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn6y8ZiTjN
"You were there too?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKdy88txDE
"Yes. That's when I thought you should help me out with this."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8na0huBZn7
"But what if I can't?" I folded my arms984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGj9zaHkPw
"Zoey is your best friend, isn't she?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaUN6qwhzi
"She is."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gv5wNUULR
"And wouldn't you like to help her out?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObbwyNxNSt
I was frustrated with the questions. "I would. But if she didn't tell me, then maybe it's not that serious."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSc1izgAay
"And do you really think she would?"984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxEX1FFcwO
I thought about his 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOxKJ5wANV
question for a moment. He was right. Some people wouldn't tell the truth984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KHBWaISB8
just to prevent the ones they love from getting hurt. Maybe that's what984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm4Zx1RmKb
Zoey did and I was too silly not to have realised it sooner.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzHE8S1tei
"You're right," I said as I looked at my hands on my lap. She wasn't the only one who kept secrets.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RHWATPpcp
"Have you tried talking to your brother about this?" I asked.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMljcRR2EGt
"No. He doesn't know that I'm onto him. And knowing how he is, he isn't going to tell me anything."984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ980FPOgq
I tapped my fingers on the table and I took the glass of water that was next to me and I drank.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mcnV9msmp
I had to think of something fast and I was running out of time. I had to get back to the studio within thirty minutes.984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19XdfnL6du
"Before I go, tell me 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXopN2b0du
all you know about what happened in Paris," I said as I looked at 984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmX85DdFXD
Derrick, giving him the eye. "And don't leave anything out."
