Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 19: Trouble on Both Ends

Have you ever been awake964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tbe2RbL8W
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJomdzO4GD
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJhgnpGKek
day goes on?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF4IFIDkrB

That's how I felt right at this moment.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa1USKW5SW

I tossed in my bed, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevDfYJycsO
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPChy9GI54
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbDlzvWSnk
could come up so that I could meet my end already.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE3lEgTjMo

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWlK9EBt1Q

I fell back on my bed, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPfwNNMlbp
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaEN8VrQQH
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwlQmRzhqZ
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIVCVE6O6O
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d0nJlWpAC
till sunrise, but waking up three times meant I was too bothered in my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHrUhEnaP4
mind even to dream.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6DMYkuXVm

I turned to my other side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIae3K7zWJ

How I wish I could fall 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOl8fUSMa5
asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring slightly in her sleep. I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO12T65qTo
stared up at the dark ceiling trying to picture things in my mind but I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjZTmcuMLK
couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't working.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmzvqJi71H

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgN6Ap1IzY

I knew I now had to face964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgjJbXpO26
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw63v9zDb3p
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and me. And even964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjhsFo9THx
though she was tired when we got back, she still hadn't stopped 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsQaa49a2n
bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjP0S09gV8

I knew her persistence 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0zunwDEEq
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGqBYcSTOv
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaYyL3z7xx
her if I had to tell her the truth.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YM3hunUvV

I know sometimes we 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vfmQi8qHu
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK0v6p2Hg3
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxd0Eejh8d
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xlEncQ8hi
had now reached that point.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh9kHItGVd

I sighed again as I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynMJeREyTJ
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8ymz1TO7h
What wrong did I ever do to be in the position I was in right now?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCERgbS1yev

If it came to G-Dragon, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvx0CeV7ed
he was going to be one person who will be difficult to talk to. I know I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zZ22EV9SS
betrayed his trust, and trying to convince him was going to be a whole 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tm9prJnN6
lot harder.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP23MZRWSqV

How was I going to tell 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypmGt4NaaF
him that yes, Daesung and I did kiss, but all of that happened due to a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwcQxsjKMs
completely different story? I know how bad he must be feeling and if I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HQQd8KzU8
was in his shoes, I probably wouldn't believe anything I would say 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQll8CmZ3FO
either.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwYu1czzy9

I kicked out the bed 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMB02jHdiy
covers and got up from the bed. And taking Mr Panda with me and my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2zBq8PE8f
phone, I slipped my feet into my bed slippers and walked out of the room964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsAFqaTbJY
in my purple pyjamas.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog3qnX3drv

I went straight for the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWziX1WirNQ
dark, empty lounge and I turned on the lights. I went to sit on the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8Of8V8K43
comfortable couch and with my feet up and folded with Mr Panda in my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG5MOlOkSO
arms, I unlocked my phone and went straight to my contacts and called my964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFh4dfJRPP
mum.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjohD0waQAf

Hopefully, I was calling964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQHVlyyu8u
her at the right time. I wasn't really sure what time it would be back 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyowoDHK4RR
home in the U.S. I was too bothered to even try and figure out all this 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOz0JTW8Rm
time zones nonsense. I just had to talk to someone. And why not my mum?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXpeKGr8Gl

I put the phone to my ear hoping she would pick up. I just hope she wasn't busy at work or something.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPoTcxca5P

She finally picked up the phone on the fourth ring.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsDyW2ZvJV

"Hello, Sam?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtjqXvqvCU

"Hi, mum."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiLD93vpGp

"Sam, how are you, dear?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttOEf049uT

"I'm good. How are you? Are you at work?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7J5zw1KUa

"Yes, I am, sweetie. I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVeS95u9C8
am just looking at photos online on the computer. A friend of mine just 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmC2OCUEdi
told me you guys went out bowling with BigBang."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjVRPAzNAQ

"Ah.." I scratched my head. "We did, mum. And we had fun."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTqPMwI4iP

"Ya, I can see you guys 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3Gf7Shb4P
smiling and laughing on the photos." I could hear clicking in the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL5d8icxGB
background and that confirmed that she was tapping away on the mouse of 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF0sRpfyAI
her computer as she looked at the pictures.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMgEnybPZ9

"So, was it more like a competition?" she asked. "It's says here that you guys won."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tpEgfV8Dj

"It was mum. We won," I said with a smile. "You should have seen what happened. It was awesome."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sJLTxyD9B

"I'll check out the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsacJ96vEck
videos later on and see everything for myself, dear," I could hear my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpGfe6ChTY
mum clicking quickly on the mouse. "Now tell me. What's bothering you? 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZaKZRCOPB
Why aren't you asleep?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxppdUmggC

I raised an eyebrow. "You know what time it is here?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ296P3HG8My

"I'm your mother, Sam. Of course I know what time it is."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DTQZcVttG

I could imagine my mum 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrS5eiLmAP
with a stern look on her face as she said that. If we weren't talking on964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uJU3R1O7b
the phone and I was standing in front of her, she probably would have 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFR55HBmfD
her arms folded.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7GfomorAh

"I know its way too early in the morning for you to be awake right now," she continued. "What's up?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKogoyweMsz

"I feel my whole life has been nothing but a lie, mum," I said as I tugged at Mr Panda's ears.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbMscNnQyO

"Your name is Samantha Glasson and you're a famous pop star. That my child, is not a lie."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuzuP1O1Ak

"Mum, you know what I mean when I say that."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0BLG2CijD

She sighed. "What did you lie about this time?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Yvy8VLXR

"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV4HiswcSs

"Tell me. I've all the time to listen."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQswMkKHJ7

"I've been lying to Zoey964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tBBgGpjHV
and everyone else about G-Dragon and I, and I don't now how to tell 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1qaJH6AXt
them, especially Zoey since she likes G-Dragon so much. It would crush 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDI0yi1axM
her if she finds out G-Dragon likes me and not her."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGs6Zw8s7S

"I thought you girls weren't supposed to date any one of those guys."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3wndT3xpA

My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow. Collins really does tell you everything, does he?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQfiWhWuFY

"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6sIrvDtwq

"Trust me, mum, Collins 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRUhM5d2zp
has no clue with what's going on in our private circle and I suggest 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkugGovyNd4
that you shouldn't say a word either."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeP0wu5UZ4

"Is that a threat?" I imagined my mum's eyebrow raised.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKyBFpciat

"You know I can never 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecDy4tmBLt
threaten you, mum. It's just for now until we come back home. It's a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS09mQRPXw
matter of life and death. I've no choice."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9L3BH6msX

"I know. But why does Zoey like him?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJOjuiN3r8

"Knowing Zoey, you must know by now the kind of guy she would fall for, mum."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcqhkpBaJc

"True. But how come she likes him but he likes you? Don't tell me you also like him too."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHJS7qYDEc

"Well....." I hesitated, trying to figure out what to say next.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BJRaxrFMn

"Samantha Glasson," my mum's voice sounded stern now. "Tell me the truth."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMq7wLnSGO

I sighed. "I also like him, mum."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmgqFXQQvh

There was silence at the other end. Until....964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhZKxs9fLm

"WHAT!"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9f7O8XfZ0

"Mum, calm down. It's not what you think."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qCahcXJUp

"Then what is it? The 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCEh6wWEUs
way I'm seeing it, you also like him and you feel guilty because you 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAlqbrRqBN
feel like you're betraying your best friend."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4Wg5FtbC6

"It was like that at 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlcWfYoxkA
first. I really do like G-Dragon but I'm learning to like him as a close964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalWjQKfAKY
friend because I know how Zoey likes him and because of Collins' 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8czrnSTRZ
'golden rule'." I put "golden rule" in quotation marks with my remaining964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOchHL7DIm6
fingers.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Loxtrdn6

"What do you mean it was like that at first?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM0DVAzdyy

"I like G-Dragon, but he isn't the only one."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3OB4Tl2ta

"Don't tell me you like someone else from the same group too."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyaIB1U0qR

I closed my eyes as I winced. "Yes, mum."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xktHG1kU3

She didn't say a word. I wondered what she was thinking right now.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC1I97b2NN

"You're really in one hell of a mess, dear."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHAoGAA036

"And that's not the worst part."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey1rYXP1rN

I told her what happened964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4palsAYoy
the day Zoey went missing, making sure I didn't mention the stranger in964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsufEE1Wg01
the suit. I talked about what G-Dragon and I had talked about in the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPblQDRS6S
park and what we agreed upon. Then I told her what happened with Daesung964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxD4WiTQmX
and the kiss.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQb7Vojxwf

"You kissed?" my mum sounded surprised.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZtUrsHXiJ

"Ssh, and listen."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S5AioP9g6

I told her that G-Dragon and Zoey saw us but they didn't witness the kiss. And I told her what happened afterwards.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ3JjmISgn

"You're in a real mess, Sam. You now have two people to tell the truth to."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ79qTxJod

"If it's not Zoey and G-Dragon, then it's the entire group."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iNhiF1uxb

"I know. But you can't lie forever now, can you?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs3G2Abc6b

I thought of what she said. "You're right. We all deserve to know the truth someday."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4TtFCcMNF

"Are you scared?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXUJU6BQjg

"I am. Maybe that's why I can't fall asleep." I hugged Mr Panda close to me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPNU9yjlXu

"It's okay to be scared, sweetie. And it's good that you decided to come out clean."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXPePs5yy5

"I don't want people getting hurt because of me." I could now feel tears coming up in my eyes.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3LiJsul0X

"We all get hurt at some964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysl7bEwgSi
point in our lives, sweetie. That's why there is a time for everything.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0p4RkEkjX
Just wait and see. After the storm, everything will be back to the way 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb9UNn2HFz
it was and everyone will forget about it. Besides, no one can stay mad 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0qRDBHGXF
at you forever, Sam. Not even me."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGgyDhb7ND

I smiled as a tear ran down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRjgOLDoqs

"Thanks, mum." I sniffed.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRsZXKPVFv

"Don't cry, okay? You're964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmUEeKgzVU
a brave girl. Now, do me a favour and get a few minutes of sleep. You 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKF5crKebj
will need all the rest you can get."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxCcvQHSJO

"Yes, mum. I will."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtlxRdFveH

"Bye, Sam. Tell me what happens, okay?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXQqilC7TO

"Okay. Bye."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBuLBggvmj

I hang up and I quickly 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR3Wi17tGX
got up from the couch with Mr Panda and went back in the room, straight 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiGe07p2cn
into the bed covers. I fell asleep in an instant with Mr Panda in my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iAgvBl3TF
arms.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrj6T160qB

It must have been some 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4lV5H1GEu
time around 7:40 when I finally woke up. The sun rays shone brightly 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA9r3vmYSH
into the room that I had to shield my eyes with my hand from the light.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx4pxqwLfo

"Wakey! Wakey!" Zoey came over and sat next to me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oAVDZDWib

"Mmmm." I murmered as I turned around and covered my head with a blanket. "Leave me alone."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm9szBYfVO

"You've to get up, Sam. We have a big day ahead of us."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fgfRzFhWK

"Isn't it a Sunday today?" I asked as I removed the blanket from my head.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fcqdi97z6

"Sadly, it isn't, my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsfQ1dZb4E
dear kitty," said Zoey as she placed her hand on my head. "Looks like 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVTtzSMw5u
you weren't the only one praying for it to be a Sunday."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt35hDvDF4

"Okay." I muttered as I sat up on my bed and rubbed away the sleep in my eyes.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfp34PKRrD

"You know you have a lot of explaining to do, right?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2csqKKF9bK

I yawned, then sighed. "I know. You don't have to tell me."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuHqFxe2t2

"So, start talking right now."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH7wj8voDq

I looked at Zoey with wide eyes. "You want to talk now?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLoYezBvGV

"Ya. I'm still really worried about you."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb0xghl0T8

Looks like I had no choice. This was it. Time to tell the truth.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG3KC5TPxA

"What I'm about to tell you, is going to crush you completely, Zoey."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0dfNTPCkM

Zoey turned to look at me with a serious look on her face. "What are you saying, Sam? Is it that serious?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgjpgTs3dp

"It really is, and I feel bad that I have to tell you."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSkog8z5z5

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2lDeRf5oP

"Just tell me, Sam. Even if it's going to hurt."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11GmfSxZz0

I closed my eyes bracing myself for impact. My heart was pounding so hard.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt9jQ163FG

"It's about G-Dragon and I," I said. "I'm sorry to say this but...."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32UNWkT4Vu

"You like him, don't you?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd9nkStXGC

I opened my eyes in shock. That wasn't supposed to happen. And what made Zoey say all that?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93GqEB01tS

"I..uh...no, that's not it."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8q9LWElRh

Zoey laughed. "Don't worry, Sam. I know how much you also like him. I'm not mad."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOTqJhXWMv

"Zoey, that wasn't what I...."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSgzMTuzYD

"Expected from me?" Zoey964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9V8glUDbr
grinned as she flipped her hair to the side. "I know, you're surprised.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNq5NjI7Iv
I like him, you like him, the whole world likes him."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAGTIAeL9o

"Zoey, I..." Zoey placed her index finger on my lips to keep me from talking further.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT0LjZMbNQ

"I know you feel guilty 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAOEqdLaI9
that you like him because I do too. Don't worry about it, because I know964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvvxaZmtiG
that you wouldn't try to steal him away from me."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5cjs5NNr6

I gulped. What was I going to tell her now? How was I going to her that G-Dragon liked me and not her?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8BJdKC132

"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlfI2vbTmD

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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FBldLZ0RD

I wanted to slap my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhbMNF4qok
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS89e4Wff81
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7JJzLuS9Q
it gets out of hand.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ543iY9hrQF

"Zoey, listen to me," I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYGe0nLqrF
said as I looked at her in the eye. "I admit that I like G-Dragon, but 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH82GsJjBk
not in the way you think. You on the other hand, need to know that...."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA5zkNQ3qa

I paused. That was odd. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQnT0VmFqH
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9umJVzgY6
felt someone had just cast a spell on me and now I was tongue tied.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW77e6EUxaU

Zoey looked at me, irritated that I had stopped talking. "What do I need to know?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ePaOOeAAs

What was wrong with me? I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qlNV4K9NU
had so much confidence when I was talking just now and I still do. But 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyS3CTqspd
now, I couldn't say anything. I opened my mouth to speak, but still 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHor5LQllpP
nothing came out. Zoey shook her head.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrxX3OPyTm

"You're weird, Sam," 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNg6OiBeJa
Zoey stood up from my bed and went straight for the bathroom. "When you 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W8VL8Tjf9
finally have the courage to tell me what you wanted to say, I'll be 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgU2ugpwrE
waiting."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaDHwopd7W

Zoey closed the door and964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0VrXjdcqR
I heard the shower tap turn on. Oh no! I blew it this time and that 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAiBPVaYn7
just proves that telling her the truth was going to be a whole lot 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk1P2a1Yks
harder than I thought.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp1AziqIFw

At least Zoey knew that I once liked G-Dragon, that's if she really took what I said seriously.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuQcio9Tdl

This was all so messed up and I felt like I was going nuts.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWUS48S1QD

I stood up from my bed 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tV8ke6E6I
and started to pace up and down, thinking. What happened to me a few 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGfTxLQzPj
minutes ago? Why couldn't I tell Zoey the truth? Well, half of it, which964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsPaLx2xCd
is the most important part.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn56hU97K20

"It's not your portion to say anything to Zoey. And you know it."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK17ztWJtC0

Whatever my conscious 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOeB1qgbRN
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eGq8ls5Y7
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that why I was tongue tied 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7P3u9qw9X
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVdsDbdO6R

If that was the case, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajEl499mms
then G-Dragon better do it fast. The earlier it was, the better. Before 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFvlhwNuV2
Zoey really gets too much involved with him or else she would be 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde7cn3mpdd
shattered completely.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnWXj1xjEb

While I was trying to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKLqBgaTK8
figure out what to do next, my phone rang and I went on the bed to reach964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9EcBzPmFT
out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMylvej2Lox

When I checked the caller ID, I raised an eyebrow. An unknown number. I wonder who it was?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJIrNngQhN

I answered the call. "Hello?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMZ03GXyjQ

"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe0GWJbpeV

I held my breath. That 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyHFv0J72J
sent a chill down my spine. Who was this? Dang it! I'm supposed to be 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljmfaoeZoc
asking that question, not thinking it.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Yroel6OV

I cleared my throat. "Hello? May I know who this is?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrZCG1luv5

The man chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What matters is that we talk."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKm7Spfs8J

"Talk? Talk about what?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7uz5WOT9Q

"Did you check the photo I sent you?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL12ieO0O0

"Photo? What...?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1ob7KGLwE

I paused when I realised the photo he was talking about. I had completely forgot about it.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uyOtUENQB

"Oh!" I slapped my forehead. "I never downloaded it to see what it was." I raised an eyebrow. "What's the photo about?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUR4tT0w6V

"If you haven't seen it,964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jQpiemFJQ
then it's best you see it for yourself. I can't tell you over the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEqQh6Cn44
phone. When you see it call me or text, will you, sweetheart?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG7tCf646E

Sweetheart? What was this guy playing at? What was the photo all about?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡold66ge0NE

"Are you trying to blackmail me with the photo?" I asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCgfTtebNi

"I wouldn't call it blackmail. But everything would be more interesting if you're involved."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhx5Ct0ANc

"If I'm involved? What do you mean?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoiNs8uq3P

I could soon hear the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbwqNoUeM8
person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNTYZykbOv
break it. What was going on today? First, I had G-Dragon and Zoey to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5zYfcENVl
handle and now, I had this stranger calling me and making things worse.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAjsUQwZBS

I looked back at my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFmuP0zFSD
phone and started to go straight to my messages. I checked the message I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWIqEtpP8D
had received from the unknown man and I realised that I still hadn't 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChq2cwtr6Z
downloaded the picture. I switched on my mobile data and started to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkBVjt4rpr
download the photo.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUiXIfUEza

"Sam! Zoey!" Lee came all of the sudden into the room. She almost scared me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt2O308onY

"Goodness, Lee!" I held my chest as my heart beat fast. "There is a thing called knocking, you know?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzN9MkahXJ

"I know, I thought you guys were still asleep."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnj4PtohgT

"No matter," I said. "We're all awake as you can see."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxe7FFkooq

"Okay. Get ready, we have to leave for the studio."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtQWYYr7PD

I nodded and Lee left. I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQgvtrHQRk
went back to looking at my phone. I frowned. The internet was so slow 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt3a5cgtFS
today. The photo hadn't finished downloading yet.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpathPvQ3h

"I'm done," said Zoey as she came out of the bathroom in her towel. "You go get ready."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKCQXHA3R2

"I just want to see something first," I said as I pointed at my phone.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vtBsmxTFL

Zoey walked up to me, took my phone and threw it on her bed.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkqrKloHTi

"Zoey!"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K9lzZ4pR9

"Not a word, Sam. You're964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYRenE7QVj
always the one telling me to get ready and be punctual, but you don't 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB9Cp3s9gf
want anyone telling you anything. Just go take a shower. I wonder what's964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlaxLybH85
up with you today."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjDkRAgxij

If only she knew. So 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oGObeqcPF
many things were running in my mind that I couldn't seem to focus on one964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6BLKGIEDO
thing because something else would just pop up all of the sudden.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbhgkp1Oxy

I went to the bathroom 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNtwcdMz8l
and locked the door behind me. Before I could undress and get into the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW2vUwdj2r
shower, I went over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my own 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iqz906EFW
reflection.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeyVuY4BzB

I looked like I hadn't 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SZyMQc3Fb
had sleep in days with all the dark circles underneath my eyes. I was 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mj4G8JmS8
deeply troubled, that's for sure. My problems just got increased by one 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxZGF25aDh
if not by two.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauV3k58v6O

G-Dragon and Zoey were 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJfPEs5GOI
my main problem to tackle today. And all of the sudden, an unknown 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIqBIIZRjT
stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3yBNg5ueB
about. And why he sent it to me was the most confusing part. If he 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsda1CTZ4wp
wasn't blackmailing me, then what was this charade about?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN11TxkqY4D

After I took a quick 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdHIjgIPGG
shower, I quickly went back in the room and I went straight for my phone964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0Qeg7xdnq
on Zoey's bed. Zoey had already dressed up and she went past me into 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0COgrb8lH6
the bathroom to get her makeup done.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxAeHJGIKw

I unlocked my phone. I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p2T3OFxJj
was pretty anxious about the photo that even my hands were shaking. The 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdA3GZp8iR
photo must be done downloading by now.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms7xQ8GiNx

Just as I unlocked the phone, it vibrated. Someone was calling me. Oh no! What now?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCowIvKEalA

Seungri was calling. What could he probably want to talk to me about this early in the morning?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTu5wVj8WF

"Hello, Seungri?" I answered.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNvwxQNKxL

"Morning, my panda," said Seungri.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq15W58gem

"Morning. How was your night?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9XA3GQMKT

"My night was perfect, since I dreamt of you."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vC5Vfaqua

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXhnIExQHP

"Oh, wow," I said, trying to act a little surprised. I hope he bought it.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwyDBRvNKn

"I've a little something I want to give you when you get to YG."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7fPBo8rLu

I smiled a little. At 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDFozS5SoO
least out of all that was going on, Seungri managed to make me smile, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqd8dCog6S
which was quiet peculiar because he didn't say anything funny. I was 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpiLnaChjE
already imagining another huge stuffed panda waiting for me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb2qNlf0yC

"Can't wait," I said with a little laugh. "See you."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfYe0O8QSz

"You too."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSsC5Fjd4Y

He cut the line and I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWONQV3OcaW
threw my phone on the bed. I decided to dress up first and have my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzrqpPyFr9
breakfast, before Zoey came back in the room and start to pressurise me 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hcMnqYUZG
again. I had already pissed her enough this morning.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYJcQEo6dM

After I dressed up and 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgwoGxXpFC
Zoey had left for breakfast, I went in the bathroom to get my hair done 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Tq5YGLWi
and applied a bit of makeup to hide my dark circles. When I was done, I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwq7pNXBhL
went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIubHszNw50
always did, I wore my black pumps, grabbed my phone and went out of the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKbv2kWYjc
room.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloNHyrsRT1

Just as I got into the lounge, I made a bee line to the dining table. Everyone was at the table eating their breakfast.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeEmW4q48c

"Someone isn't themselves this morning," said Collins as he watched me approach the dining table.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dljv73DPA

I knew he was talking about how late I was today. I was usually the earliest to be at the dining table.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURZqJQtRYJ

"Sorry," I said as sat down next to Lee. "I was pretty bummed up, that's why."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtSfY12P0g

"No pressure, just eat up, we have a lot of work to do today."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfBD9xP2HQ

There was a variety of breakfast options today and I decided to take some cereal, which I haven't had in a while.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafgNUgOrpE

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAXKj51zdN

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS17LXTRZI

I looked at everyone at the table and when they didn't say a word, I shrugged my shoulders.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTBN6YfxNd

"What?" I asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzONbDtOkt

Mike who sat opposite me cleared his throat. "You're eating cereal."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfeE3mst0g

I frowned. "So?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUUZsmzyyP

"But there is bacon and eggs with toast," said Daniel.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDbCrwc0eR

I was still confused. "So?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2U6N2z5Cb

"You usually don't eat cereal when there is bacon, eggs and toast," said Collins.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfMrVDqZ1m

"And cereal is kind of like my thing," said Daniel.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlrnLw2V28

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?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORPjUAZAK6

"I don't see the harm in964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb2Aprphb2
eating cereal. I have oatmeal whenever I feel like it and that's still 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtDQKCZeZC
cereal," I said. "I just wanted something different for a change. Is 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75xVWbBBQP
that wrong?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fihzaJ3wX

Everyone else looked at each other and then they looked back at me, shaking their heads.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscMEG94AhI

"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2w7H7imUM

"I can see that," said 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq7Fq9f5lv
Zoey as she drank from her cup of coffee. I knew she was making fun of 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicLKvz5JiY
me but I decided not to say anything.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF5Hu96mBH

When we were done with 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoZPTIQopD
breakfast, we headed downstairs in the lobby and the black SUV was 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduuFIiE6cp
waiting for us as usual. When we got in, I made sure to take the back 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLVLLppl7f
seat with my brothers next to the window so that I would avoid people 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUqgH7fHyg
looking at my phone.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS3NIlPp7Q

When everyone in the car964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeVp85tVl9
was engrossed in some conversation that I had no interest in joining in964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJAFioVK80
or listening to, I decided to check my phone. The photo was done 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU70BU3j8Bp
downloading and what I saw made my mouth drop and my eyes pop.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdjlrNhudK

"What's wrong, Sam?" Mike who sat next to me asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQaTO9q6VA

I quickly pressed the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuyCxfvozU
power button on the side of the phone and blacked the screen. Mike was 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFF3JymKcw
already leaning onto my side to see what was on my phone.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxtAEpifs4

"Nothing, just some scary video," I said.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG58y9H8mA

"May I see?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8OJjjVcNS

"No. You won't be sleeping for the next two days."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfwv4D16Ne

"I've watched horror movies before. I can handle a little scare."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOigeogSWz

"No can do, bro," I said as I put my phone into my purse that I had decided to carry with me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQzEsDjkIx

Mike leaned back and folded his arms. "Whatever."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsyw0oMlK4

I wish I could tell him 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eb94dLReP
and everyone else what was going on. But at the moment, I felt like 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzPISgLDeq
keeping everything to myself, not after what I had seen.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HGuSejErS

Now that I had seen the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtDUcjsI5p
photo, I had to meet up with the stranger and talk about all this. But 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9edKhuI73N
where to meet the person and when was going to be a hustle. It was 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw8dhnAVXC
pretty obvious that I had to meet him alone.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI1rDQfTNQ

Speaking of which, I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3sFaZryej
still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjXUmt9Ia3
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtZAMuFtuq
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJJMh9F47k
choreography today. This was hectic. And I knew that if I was pushed 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNudvggBR5
further onto the edge, I would burst.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt45mSHFnUA

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y4RJgX4z3

My heart skipped a beat.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPggzG7JJy0
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEdUM6l5eF
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnRdcnFRbt
choice.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX84AUwhCZ9

As soon as I stepped out964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8xbaUxJ2Y
of the vehicle, I took a deep breath as I looked at the entrance. I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGVmeD8RAn
felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSHkyNptUq

"Are you okay, Sam?" Christine asked as she came to stand in front of me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk67WJt4Js2

"I'm fine," I said. "I just realised that I haven't really thought of any ideas for the music video."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY6IQjl5Gb

"You're aren't the only 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGvaRBIipa
one," Christine said with a smile. "Let's just hope our minds will get 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBCHSfkR6o
to work on that when we get in there."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D44AkS7xQ

I managed to put up a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJR2hdBuD5
smile, but I knew my mind wasn't going to be on full throttle today. How964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEU3tLo7ng
I wish this wasn't happening to me right now.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUwSkOTWLy

As I came into the lobby964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZifV3zjXQ
with Christine, we found Collins talking to the receptionist. The rest 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QPRbyLNrh
were heading towards the elevator and we joined them.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3aEubZtFB

"You will be going up to the dance studio," Collins said as he turned to us. "The others are waiting for you there."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG0qXe1LYm

"Okay," the others responded. I for one felt really jumpy at the moment.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05JbLpx84X

We all got in the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu25TVLfk1Z
elevator and Mike was busy talking about some dance moves he had come up964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwCt0ULI8y
with and I wasn't really paying attention though I did get one or two 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gJFWsIscA
things.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8nPOnMjOi

We got to the dance 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64w08aJ7jO
studio while Lee and Collins decided to go upstairs to meet with Yang 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClrWrvKV7X
Hyun-suk. We checked a few dance studios before we finally found them.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuQLbKk7Cr

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted so enthusiastically as we came in the room.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig5kgqj9Fy

I was too lost in 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTljSDStzlz
thought to even reply to the other's greetings until Seungri came up to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoBrReQhAg
me and hugged me. That brought me right back down to earth.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4Ny3ky9X0

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seungri asked, still hugging me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7vpg1QniF

"I'm fine," I said, as I pulled myself away.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpYpReCRLa

"If I know you well, you look pretty occupied in that head of yours," said TOP as he walked up to us.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ7v1tauYK

"Tell me about it," said964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsJgFSqHCQ
Zoey as she was now on the floor with Daesung standing right beside her964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMNIfwQBoU
and she was removing her shoes. "She's been weird all morning."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hZraMPSvP

"How weird?" Taeyang asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsYAjXePml

"Too weird," said Daniel.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmSORu5QVT

"Cut me some slack, guys," I said. I looked at Taeyang. "They are just saying nonsense."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEcOjOot76

"Says the person who was so late to wake up today," said Zoey.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI73Vm0wwhD

"And ate sweet cereal for breakfast instead of bacon, eggs and toast," said Christine.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ4HjeFJKh

"And refused to give me her phone to check out what she was watching," said Mike.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva3PzsWLAP

I shrugged. "So? And Mike, seriously? Just over a phone?" I shook my head at my brother.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsibHMnSCVD

"It's not like you, Sam," said Daniel. "That's all we are trying to say."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQufeqSC4g

I rubbed my forehead. "Look, guys, I'm just a little bummed out because of yesterday. Is that so wrong?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmVTB6CoHw

"No, I think something is bothering you," said Zoey, still on the floor.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55QHX7Xxjl

"I'm fine. Trust me. My mind is pretty tired."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXTTTBsYzV

"Come on, guys, let's not stress her out because of this," said Daesung. "If she says she is tired, then she is."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9EP4xJLXy

Zoey slapped Daesung's leg with her hand and Daesung looked down at her. "Don't try to defend her."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq918G7Ppm

"I'm not."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvImeXbvO7

Zoey snickered at him and I knew why. She still remembered the little incident yesterday with Daesung and me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEwe103cCp

"Where is G-Dragon?" Daniel asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37UZhBI0Ge

I looked around the room and I noticed that GD was the only group member who wasn't here.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8amvgfUy2y

"He went to get the choreographer," TOP answered.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtrBpbhYmr

"Now, Sam, about your little problem...." said Mike, turning to face me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYiVdA3wnZ

"Not now, Mike," I said as I folded my arms. "You can attack me later, just not now."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaoQMWbBBk

"Not to worry, my little kitty," said Seungri who stood right behind me. "Maybe this will cheer you up."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iOeYiu3nI

Before I could turn 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vX91fmLHu
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgoE95TH6y
head. My hand reached up for whatever it was.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2ugyF2Q5I

"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHp42k3vvl

I took the crown from 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWJHP7jf5Z
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Kxug0XUr
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9YjMEnjHT
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HsnvoHrp4
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tIKclJJQH

"Wait, are these real diamonds?" I asked as I turned to look at Seungri with a surprised look on my face.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzxR7zGOsj

"It is," said Seungri 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwlkFMOS3j
with a huge smile on his face. "And I know how much you value sapphire 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3ZgCGYKIH
stones because it's your birth stone."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR0A7Wfbum

"Aww! Thank you so much,964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWjlRmqsf5
Seungri!" I gave him a hug and I couldn't stop smiling. Somehow, I knew964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5PzNciloV
he was going to brighten up my day today.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDXkQCO74R

"So pretty, let me see," said Christine, as she came and took the crown from my hand. "Wow!"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78HX59CcRh

"I want to wear it," 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19Pu00dYd3
said Zoey as she got up from the floor and rushed to look at the crown. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDptXvhO2h
Christine put the crown on Zoey's head.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAXojtYxzv

"Don't I look like a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngLgRChQ0k
true queen?" Zoey asked as she looked at her reflection through the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwcVMI4r5C
studio mirrors that lined up the walls of the room.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTDbJDG1mO

"You look like that evil witch in those fairy tale fantasy movies," said Mike.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx6yFaIXhL

"Haha, very funny," Zoey said as she turned to look at Mike.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTyA2SQbuQ

"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fye2Q7Hqg

"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhTQFgmHhg

"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NUtMzy55O

"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Yngl1RqE

"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLmXCpNhnG

"May her royal majesty 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFr050ribh
get her crown back?" Taeyang asked as he came behind Christine and took 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbWODGgNRm
the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF0PZ4EOsR

"Oh, hail the queen!" Taeyang chanted and I broke into a laugh, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jxR9Vs4VV

"Stop it, will you? You're making me blush," I said, trying to cover my laugh with my hand.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN17BKVMNq

"You look just like a real queen, Sam," said TOP.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk7WJYqoCE

"Thanks." I was still blushing like crazy.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIDC9Sxc6t

"Let me take a photo," said Daesung, pulling out his phone.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYNSB9OU4s

"Ya. The whole world should see the queen of k-pop," said Zoey.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C5S9V32pu

"Are you really calling me that?" I asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5HI9XyaG4

"We did win last night, didn't we?" Zoey asked. "Of course I'm calling you that."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iNtQNgcy7

I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't really taking it that seriously. It was nothing but a game."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEIguNYbz6

"A game we won. Cheer up. We are all kings and queens with you."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhcqjUBaHE

I looked on at Zoey trying to smile as best as I could, but somehow I couldn't.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDwCKpqBr8

She couldn't tell the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEAzkpRMW9
look on my face because she didn't even ask. Daesung went ahead and took964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea0gnw5KCm
pictures of me, and then we huddled together as a group to take a group964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsUNIJoZlz
photo with me in the middle.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorYu5z68gW

"Hey, what's going on here?" G-Dragon asked as he came in the room.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPR6ED19za

"Taking photos with the queen," said Daniel.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMwvUCLcw3

"The queen?" G-Dragon looked confused until he saw the crown on top of my head. "Oh..."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Unh1s21Pl

"It's pretty, isn't it?" Zoey asked. "You should also get me one."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIEM5CRNRs

"I can make a gold one if you want," said G-Dragon.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbvXj51sTb

Zoey smiled. "Even better."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDkvAGNheg

G-Dragon turned to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsloHJP5Xme
Taeyang. "The choreographer is going to be here any moment now. So I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsZw3EaskR
suggest we bring out your ideas if you have any. We can start without 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OZv4KKi7H
him and he will find us."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFTosYSrCe

"Mike told me over the phone earlier that he had some brand ideas," said Taeyang.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTbYWMBivn

"Ya, I do," said Mike. "You guys just watch. I have the song in my phone so I'll play it from there."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwIyFRoCT4

We all stood on one side964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMfDCRBhlr
of the room while Mike took off his jacket and got his phone to search 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymysPzA4DD
for the track. He gave Daniel to hold the phone and when he positioned 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHHe7HAXTE
himself in the middle of the room and turned to look at us.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK70y5alEu

"So, I was thinking, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQvX3a4BfU
since G-Dragon and Zoey start the first verse, they should open up the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSggY8gxL8
dance floor. So, I need someone to act as Zoey so that I could show you 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD95tmG4eSm
guys."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym0LOw5r7J

Christine came forward 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSfvX6KWbe
and Mike gave her a few instructions on what to do. She nodded her head 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfhMZ1NyRQ
and Mike told Daniel to press the play button on cue.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIHzij11Pg

With Christine and Mike 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoYts5H5NB
each facing opposite directions with their backs touching, the music 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7alVY20UnD
started to play. Still not looking at each other, the two started the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9eqqYlEtU
dance with each of them taking a step forward, breaking the contact 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50TBG5BrQu
between them and then like a powerful force pulling them, they dragged 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbWbL2lByx
themselves back and they again their backs touched.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhmBAh3c3f

With a bit of skilful 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp42G1wU9gx
footwork, they turned to face each other and with their hands, they drew964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm0mkGrnn5
closer and then skidded away from each other with their hands in the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBQ8QoNEDO
air.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhosijuQDw

"Then you guys will come in through the middle then make a formation in front."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfespY2alt4

"That's pretty awesome," said Taeyang.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXnLde6H7G

"Very smart," said G-Dragon.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO8CwlmuEd

"Let's practise that," said Zoey taking G-Dragon's hand and taking him in the middle of the dance floor.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMAAwR8Cly

"I'll take you through the moves," said Mike as he faced them.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHmDoVeDPn

"Your brother is a total genius, isn't he?" TOP asked as he stood next to me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxhemPY0aN

"Ya, he is," I said with a smile.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaPg7ZvCKI

The door soon opened and964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEyAoO66MK
the person who I guessed was our choreographer walked in. We stopped 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhRJVJPrOv
what we were doing and bowed as he came further in the room.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtETQuU1Xb

"So, I see you guys are already getting started," said the choreographer.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jB1RxoFZW

"Yes, we are," said Seungri.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXqB3TGlu6

"Okay, let me see what you have done so far."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v2gzCVDII

Mike and Christine 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4NnZzFLKf
stepped forward and the music playing on Mikes phone, they did the dance964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DooF1lQ77
routine. After their hands broke apart, Mike explained how the rest of 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyxcDr8phJ
us will come in the scene.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdyc48cMut

"Mmmm," the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlJHGFbX6h
choreographer looked on at Mike as he tapped his chin. For a moment I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqFM5N7QWF
thought he was going to say something bad, but he didn't.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hrz0vMyNP

"I like it," said the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k3rjkgNRl
choreographer. "So far, the starting part is brilliant. I wouldn't have 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T1bgtt8Lt
thought of anything better. Now let's see if Zoey and G-Dragon could 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOH2jXSs4a
quickly work on their moves then we will come to the part when everyone 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOmxq8Vxxt
comes in."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8nANTyh4E

Zoey and G-Dragon took 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Xwvz4bYl
to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjgYtU70fR
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cTNDU2EiO
were perfect.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zxGWo8nAF

"Excellent," said the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdceVSNkff
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOsxjJspTp
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSARUCo6lVb
them like a doorway. We will come in a straight line and then make a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NvU6kIf0l
formation in front of them."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ0EHKCvBa

We did as the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn9w3TtthH
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1NP4xWXxC
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQApnDYpdh
the hang of it.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2cG9arm3M

A few minutes later, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2GEfe6doO
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27ZceO7b4A
that we can take a break with some of us with our backs on the floor and964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuDKAt0YMH
staring at the ceiling. Others were seated.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf6TSo6tmt

"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViaq44K8yY

I laughed, also staring 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZvDaGcNTz
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyr9VntqiL
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5i4GKmkho

"Ya, true," said Christine who also had her back on the floor and laid a few feet away from me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1l3R5F74n

Speaking of problems, I completely forgot about that French guy.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e1B2zvFFK

I quickly scrambled up 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW4A7dDbQf
from the floor passing Mike and Taeyang who were seated on the floor and964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZTZI27DaS
still talking about the dance moves. I went to the corner of the room 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaWSf8jMqL
where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfx9z8fslB
and removed my phone.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUFylb2B4A

I sent a message to the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv0ceIjKtJ
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbX36ZmYl1
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc6XkYy7VV
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSt8XDlLoR

"Good. We should meet."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzC9s2wswG

Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe1wjPeuN4

"I can't see you today. I'm kind of busy."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdraL1gK2GZ

"But this is a very important issue, Sam."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMLMyzWsSD

Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaHhfUcqSW

I texted, "what happens if I don't meet with you today?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpfz7qv0rs

"You're one smart 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2r2S1aiQS
girl. I don't have to explain because you know what will happen when the964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1HyyNRbxR
whole world sees this. It's today or never. And never comes with 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqd4LFKr9r
consequences."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo4GF7TIvf

I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h5zfNNlSt

"Fine. I'll tell you when to meet when I'm done."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2knEaM2jUl

"That's my girl."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFtjGu6ImA

I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43gjff6n9c

As I tucked my phone 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFF8Wvj0S4
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDSKc9NPIX
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qno5KSWCM
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOyCZ5TVgX
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHvR6BzuMP

I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsum58FJnQ

When they both turned to964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DfGxVH0Z7
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqeBcCZRQe
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmhXShvFnM
couldn't help but feel that they were.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxX3TodRvF

I laid back down 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIJ0oCG6NQ
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDSRUMr2jy
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4JqkSKZNz
two of us had in our room this morning?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YmiCAdRfs

Yikes! If she did, then I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdhLRvbhix
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtXfAOLmvs
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrYIzB1nxp
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj73CDFxgR
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZHep2X8Lw

Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfGTOPp52O

"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EOtHMAQJZ

"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCKSKwXbIF

"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRfhY9bhAl

Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWbBN0Qt8h

"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaE9vQE5Ew

"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOopMJVrvA

"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdXyml2GBR

"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaogx6hGXcL

"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHblywHXLtL

"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzfCfzV67K

"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3zIyHK1PU

"No. It sounds great."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6jRdm4P2r

"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPB0TsPSkO

"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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaQSGN2bia

"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdhOBNjzAP

"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbz9yOwUGz

"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj40xoXsemI

"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpQSw5yyzT

"True," said Taeyang.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0Z9BNOFGT

"Okay," I said, feeling a964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1cRixVLE3
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6hTlmpVHe
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQP42VoQlQ

"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukc8GFzNzT

After the three had 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcMirEBh7s
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtWVXruu4u
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsQP8vgEq8

While we waited, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPsagzBD3z
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYkgfrzvPL
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp45AAdT90y
expression on his face.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvOc6o6cJf

"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZjnC42QfX

He sounded serious and I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcCnUN00KL
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9FZsEt6Qz
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7w2pRiWoF

"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm4dbLC3fr

I got up from the floor 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GuCn26kTx
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWbX15BQ9F
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aNypAvCCU
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MLqkAMPFP

I found G-Dragon three 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoM1Hf1GOV
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG3j1iTtU0
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwsRtad6U3
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63bRrJj3x4
close.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S8Bp5GuI1

"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VYdjPW982

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEhCdS2URH

"It's about Zoey," he said.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdIJklimSQ

I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3MyisoPkp

"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?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPan1GLhZf

"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuadWqESA4s

"Really? That's all you can say?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIvLSbvjfY

"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpRhXESuhm

"But you almost had."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7j4T0c1Lz

"Yet I couldn't."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hYtBnL9sn

"Zoey is right. You're 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieK91FXGSu
been acting really weird today. Weird enough to tell her the truth when 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xRYddgOPq
you know I was supposed to do it."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aaxHKBoYB

"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdWrXjgpZj

"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjW9wJw9pg

I paused before I could say, "what?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgMaBvUK2b

"You heard me loud and 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVU1oZIshg
clear, Sam. As though kissing Daesung wasn't enough, you're now trying 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12wBzBidLf
to take matters into your own hands."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0CCQFfY5M

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgWOpdKUF6

"Wait, that's not true," I said.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXjUounA1K

"Which one? You kissing Daesung or taking matters into your hands?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxfopiRdZh

I now realised that I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbduEMOFRv
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhXdcBRcme
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBRbSKorFP
assumption right. But there was no point in hiding now. The truth was 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBomCTb362a
bound to come up sooner rather than later.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgyTU1AJHX

"Aren't you going to answer? Which one of the two?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJGpc6nlZU

I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b4kT8EQw8

"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5hX72SKnQ

"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT2HwWAPrM

G-Dragon took a step 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqdjpHg0MI
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgXtTZOguh
you kiss my best friend who is like a brother to me!"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTeuNF92e9

"You wanted the truth, didn't you? You got one! But backstabbing you wasn't what happened."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LRasQzYXc

"Then what did happen?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OAlKSqXN3

"All of this is nothing 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd77VAZoklq
but a misunderstanding. I never went back on my word. Things just 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO0iXcvauf
happened that I myself couldn't control."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mYd2h6VBX

"Don't lie to me, Sam."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLShEM0AmBQ

"You know what, I'm 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1SETr4CJo
trying my best here to try and tell you the truth but you're acting like964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h1VaMZGQ9
a deaf person blocking my words out. I knew from the very beginning 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d1aK41OQJ
that I could never be with you nor with Daesung and I have accepted it. I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3cdfqStMY
talked about that with him yesterday. That's why he kissed me."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATsZ8D390A

G-Dragon shook his head. "So you're saying that he kissed you and not that you kissed him?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu20KlMQT0D

"Yes. But I know you 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgcHmmgCll
won't believe me. Unlike you, at least Daesung realised and accepted it 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wFbnOQe3T
for himself that he and I could never be together."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JcCAQxGEG

I looked at G-Dragon and I knew I hit the spot. I just hope that what I said would make him understand.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLjqs0YHsN

"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFb17bd8ZQ

I turned around to head 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnHE9ot9iX
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICaIe8PCtC
angry. I was frustrated and my problems were far from over.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjPtABQ8jO

When I came back in the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUJtY0qhCf
studio, all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I could tell on 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpdiPqMBay
their faces that they had heard the entire conversation.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx5s0xfwzN

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDMPRfXbKn

I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdHjq9lQK3

I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZrcjOTamM

"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmrLeBvpzW

I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs3vkXCQQ2

I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZOAMeqK1j

I heard the door open 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gL78xN2c2
behind me and I knew G-Dragon had come into the room. At the corner of 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInBLTI3TqN
my eye, I could see Zoey turn towards the door.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdbgVgNRpj

"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDVgZxVpJM

"It's nothing," I heard G-Dragon say.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP7izrb6Hi

"It's nothing? Looking at both of your faces, something did happen," said TOP.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieeG8eYLDo

"Look guys," I said as 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oj6QWnw54
quickly stood up from the floor and turned to face them. "Tell me if I'm964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptgLP3Qxn2
wrong, but you guys heard the entire conversation, right?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRh2qPmeAA

No one said anything and they had guilty looks on their faces. That settled it.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KyVfXt9Pq

"I'm sorry you had to hear all that," I said as I scratched my head. "We shouldn't have been so loud."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7glnP6Cdd1

"Why didn't you two tell us all this before?" Seungri asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5jymp1Ows

I didn't say anything 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1METJ7ZIQB
and neither did G-Dragon. We looked at each other and then at the others964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFtlhRPaB9
who were waiting for either of us to say something.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM9AE9f3di

Before anyone could 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1bZZg5NOA
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbQQz41HQi
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQQHFsiscO
we went back to practising.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRue6bue7uw

I don't know how I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9rmS6YjgT
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqGUfZfVQn
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgIDsCpuAQ
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboXhcv2dnW
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwhpVTNfoV
head in the real world and not mess things up.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGLCu8X6wI

It was lunch time and 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXq0i2K00E
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWYendxmHW
was so tired, I wondered if I would be able to meet up with the unknown 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ55k23q1W
stranger.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk48fhUJ0RG

Now that we were on a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH89aRSYAG3
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7otvtiBW3
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIm9ZPaQIR
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0sq4qc0md
too awkward for me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32mxDevMEc

Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7iUGVTDEf

I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrt1jFMPHD

"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nze3A1Gik

Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFii3r1iomf

"Well, you guys can talk if you want," said Seungri, "but I'm hungry."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmk1AAG4VM

"Ya, me too," said Daniel.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO03UEpLjH1

"We can order a pizza," said Christine.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx37DVoSkpZ

"Good idea," said Taeyang.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJsBxpSaZp

As though they couldn't 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1HErJSl1U
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6dnPi34Kj
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNygX2gPOBy
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was entirely my fault.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrrfV3xBpH

A few seconds later, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrQrDmPaXI
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UHE107d55
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedC9fk4Stf
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATDZxHHWZb
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5TWvnQSfz

As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk7HlwCBIW

"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtorh1WLrXz

"A lot has happened 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9erESH0py
today that I need to tell you, Lee," I said, keeping my voice down in 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRz7x7trli
case there were any people snooping around.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLY2MRaukL

"What? What's happened?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOu8mMHFLb

"Everyone now knows the truth about G-Dragon and I. They heard us arguing."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs8bnwehkg

I could hear Lee gasp and I pictured her ready to drop and faint. "For real? Oh, gosh, this is bad."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWesT2MzLPw

"That's not the worst 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgsyy7K5jJ
part," I said as I found myself at the end of the hall going down a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgxMeHNfgW
flight of stairs. "A weird guy called me today and I need to meet him."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TGzFPwHR8

"Huh? What for? Who is this guy?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakmi6etzcG

"Like I said, he is 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbcIyLWdQL
weird. Something bad came up and if I don't meet him soon, a lot of us 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLAw7EjPVD
are going to be toast especially with the press."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasR0g045Tu

"Is he blackmailing you or something?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm63B5At6C

"I'm not sure if I can 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZYjRxCFMq
call it that. But if I'm affected too, then it kind of looks that way. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2yVrLqiT3
Do me a favour and meet me at the back of the building."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYue5kkaDO3

Lee paused. "Why? You aren't going to meet him, are you?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY8jbBRXYo

"I've no choice and I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSeovgU2sY
would better do it now because we are going to be here for a while until964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8jS0IWuqE
we are done with the dance routine. Bring me a pair of sunglasses, a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll5SVgNTRV
cap and a scarf."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppfykXAIDv

"What will you need that for?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Cjqeg7Dz

"Trust me," I said as stopped on the stairs. I wasn't too sure which floor I was on at the moment.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7FZ9KZ9Cs

"Okay, fine. I'll see where I can get those."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWekaQmJgF

"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh3YmIH6cb

I cut the call and this 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q8E3Z35dA
time, I ran down the stairs with a new found energy. I was tired from 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmu3cCWgat
all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoaJ99upHv

I reached the bottom of 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSHCMfjeBD
the steps. I had reached the ground floor. There was a passage behind 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CrV3gvXNv
the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l4ssHE8yy
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO8mopQtyi
voices that I could recognise.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlj18OSjda

I went over to look, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W8jGTxQVM
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUsefZvrcm
Toxins and BigBang in the lobby heading out. They were going out for 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmoo3NmmZ8
lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could turn around and 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa7t3pIZ1k
head for the back door, I ended up hearing their conversation.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9pwTEpZ05

"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB7V5IVFk8

"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFCMtOnWvJ

"I'm just surprised that964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EwLiYAOlp
you kissed my sister," said Mike. For some reason, I was surprised that964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGWfODWGXc
he wasn't upset like I thought he would.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPnRUD3HxM

"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFJSQYzRLy

"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkON9brsAGN

"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTKVxSGEaR

"I think so too," said 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskoCWb3oly
Daniel. "But just in case, we would order her and the others a takeout. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTouvbP8cZx
Sometimes Sam would starve herself without even realising it."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPyyyk3PcU

The next thing I knew, their voices became distant. I peeked again and I saw that they had already walked out of the lobby.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cByAWJZb2

I was expecting them to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Eg6bkc2j
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ5YcIuBh0
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MtjChticZ
Who knows?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPfssfx5TI

Throwing that thought 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0QuuXQV5y
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX5AYoK4IP
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYuUHylVzc
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGUen1nIB9

There were still more 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDIsw7ACjd
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkPuzGxAyQ
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPB86TgnwN
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SFAjAE9ba
front and I knew the others were leaving until I heard the noise fade 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb1xcgnHei
away.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKliQLwR7Rc

In what seemed like 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyR4xlidkD
forever, Lee appeared around the corner of the building with her 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnWe9f6l48
handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgim7SuKSn

"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVoEQXtXbH

"Don't act all grumpy on me," said Lee. "So as to let you know, finding what you wanted wasn't all that easy."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5k9HEDRnj

"Okay, thanks," I said as Lee gave me her bag and I gave her my crown and purse to hold. "Hold this."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKFxdV2gya

"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEztOE2w395

"Seungri," I answered as I rummaged through the bag to get the items out.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTWzHZ93ly

"This is so pretty. These diamonds look so real."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmD0Jm8FJV

"They are," I said as I put the blue baseball cap on.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl9f03BCjk

"So sweet of him to do this," said Lee. She looked at me. "Are they all still inside?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxxSIcAanV

"They have gone out for 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O19uJVJBh
lunch. But Zoey and G-Dragon are talking in the studio. Hopefully things964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKafQOoZ6L
will work out okay. Though I highly doubt it will."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciX4Rm5wAO

"Things are really bad, huh?" Lee asked with a sad expression on her face.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE61uSUeXGu

"Ya. And they are about 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEnqdQ3ZUS
to get a whole lot worse. Wish me luck." I put on the sunglasses and the964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt0HixJFiv
light scarf around my neck. Lee gave me back my purse.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeZWkXZ49h

"Okay. Tell me how everything goes," said Lee. "Want me to escort you out of the gate?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRJihl6tmR

"Ya, that will be a good964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzqpaKDW8H
idea," I said. "Leaving me alone would be dangerous and who knows what 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu6PvekUGZ
the guards might think when they see me."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAh6Xv3reC

Lee and I started to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ucbmXjUGn
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6qnM2s7Z2
parking lot. As we were heading towards the gate, Lee started some 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kVOa1vky4
random conversation and I played along making sure not to look 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4rhIBpTvE
suspicious in front of the guards who didn't seem to be paying much 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI8D59NPMT
attention. I made sure that they didn't notice my face.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5n885rpFI

When I finally managed 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJv2PAF23Z
to get out of the gate, Lee wished me luck. I nodded my head and walked 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBWg06VGMM
away from the YG gate and down the street.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf1WvtYXhT

I had to admit, I was so964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaKO6RBMVd
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML2ErAJcf3
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iW1lnCYUG
in the streets by myself. Going around alone was too dangerous for me 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrPSsfPnFW
and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jvZ0aJ1mW

After walking a few 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpLvqnkO82
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujR3CqQFK9
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKbyqfntRN
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRmYWy7FNy
the road with a few people and got to the other side of the street.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfxX0j9uX6

As I walked, passing a shoe shop, I took my phone out from my purse and called the unknown man.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17FiOT4kia

"Ah, you finally called," said the stranger who had answered after the first ring. "I've been waiting."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡextxgoCNkI

"Ya, I figured," I said, looking around hoping that no one noticed me but the cap hid my face964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYBBFgXKn5

pretty well. "I've no idea where to meet you and I'm not so familiar with the place."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6NmhFQNTw

"Not to worry, dear. I already see you. Nice disguise by the way. I can hardly tell it is you under that baseball cap."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBVCsEARNO

I froze as I soon looked964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw74WOt6C2L
left and right and across the street hoping to see him. But I couldn't 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYvjDKUOvd
spot out any French native among the midst of Koreans. Feeling a little 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjNKotCEXY
out of place, I figured I might just be the odd one around here too.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9MNYmU0nV

I heard him laugh 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek28feU0Qs
through the phone and I could tell he was making fun of me. "Not to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyVG6HavcW
worry, Sam. Be careful or you might just blow your cover."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYKBVbI2Cn

I gritted my teeth. "Just show yourself. Where are you?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZISk5NVhtJ

"I'm right here."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsIXgCF0jE

"Right where?" I looked around and still nothing. People walked past me and I got frustrated. "Don't try play games with-"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh5cJpVgiw

My sentence was cut 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmXHfUu6ZM
short when down the road, a fancy black shiny Bugatti parked at the edge964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslns9vptzb
of the concrete slab right in front of me. I looked on with my mouth 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnofIspVbj
agape. I have always admired fancy cars but this was one hell of a ride.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3WwM8wA3s

A smartly dressed 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS501YZlbmN
looking chauffeur came out of the driver's seat and came to my side. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarTf6iAfMd
With his white gloved hand, he opened the door to the passenger's seat.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPmDU8Zyt8

"You may go in, mademoiselle," said the driver in deep French accent, as he bowed.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSycuLk6qsx

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuFIOjdsae

A few heads turned my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhpHJ828PB
way and I could only imagine what people must think of a Bugatti and a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyUxvn9wdd
smartly dressed chauffeur waiting for me to go in. Strange, I suppose 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yUGIiXaU4
and a little suspicious too.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzaJhlJ8v5

I managed to awake from 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKYRuq7Jym
my slumber and got in the car before people fully start to look at me 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVteJwfL3x
and figure out who I was. As I got in, a nice car smell wafted in the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uNMu7YDjr
air and into my nostrils. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qWP6Tf6cp
driver's seat.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8SNyYbe3v

"Samantha Glasson, nice to finally meet you at last," came a deep voice.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsGcD6Xyqr

With my eyes, I looked 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkJh4OkTZo
at the person sitting right beside me in the passenger's seat. For a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDeuUv6Pqj
moment, I was scared. But when I looked at the man fully, my face fell.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JqK15vLsX

He looked to be in the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrivQPcm0Ty
same age group as me but maybe two years older. I guessed in my head 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnzq4EmgZS
that he must be 24 or 25. He had gorgeous blue eyes like the colour of 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak9zJimxz2
the sea and brown short curly hair. His dashing lips were lifted up into964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttKXHx3IfD
a smile and under that navy blue suit of his, I could tell he was one 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5fWbpHhY1
who had one heck of a body.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU3ECI75Oi

I hadn't said a word and964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p2aZan0Zr
the car started to drive down the road when the young man offered his 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1OYipXgZV
open hand. I stared at it and noticed a shiny gold Rolex on his left 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NEe9vnKQg
wrist. Who was this guy?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgYV4tzAst

"Aren't we going to shake hands?" he asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96nsxob0lS

I opened my mouth but 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWznt9zRIz7
then closed it again knowing that it was pointless to argue. I took his 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnd6t33U7c
hand and shook it, scared that I might receive a shocking zap from the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1kytg6PgA
contact.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiUYAzwLrU

"And you must be the guy I was talking to over the phone?" I asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN9Pa7InMv

"Yes, a pleasure to meet964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrX5d0Xznw
your acquaintance." He lightly pressed his lips on the back of my palm 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeo3tsjk8H
and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuJ0qZnxM3

"I'm sorry we had to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BhAdxcCds
meet under such awkward circumstances," he said as he leaned back in the964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrQ1RaVDZs
fancy leathered seats. "But I needed to talk to you, and fast."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeUQ4bpZer

I looked at him and 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSr4UrWTYp
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4voI4ehH7
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6L2bPzGEa
This guy right beside me looked like one of those handsome Greek gods we964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIUf1SRAt3
hear about in mythical tales.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ydlAXi1S2

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with the corner of his lips raised up to a smile.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PLzv1tUA7

"I...uh." Yikes! I was 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4Z5Qyh33I
caught looking at him. I blushed and turned to face the window beside 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwXcDbCFdO
me. "Nothing. This wasn't what I was expecting."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU2r4KoYp3

There was silence and I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfh2jXLrYG
didn't want to look at him. He was obviously looking at me and that made964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthPlmBKqfK
me play around with my fingers because I was nervous. Then I realised 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxognfj78wE
something.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrl5xGyCoY

"You never told me your name," I said as I looked at him. Dang it! I wasn't supposed to look at him.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Rl6nr1Nm

"Oh, silly me. Where are my manners? I'm Derrick."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh5TLulhiQ

"That's a weird name, given that you're French."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq9mHzYZDe

"I was born in the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll5wwbKFun
States and my parents preferred giving me this name even though they are964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc5cMgLqyL
both French. I grew up in France almost my whole life and my parents 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhwTv9GXJU
are people who like to travel a lot for business. Building their 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUHH5G8OBg
business empire is what's so important to them."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdAYEpkF59

"I can clearly see that," I said as I wondrously looked around in the car.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw0OdwXFjV

My expression might have amused him because he chuckled. I blushed as I pushed my glasses further up my nose and folded my arms.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4ZTFVuipl

"This is going to be fun," he said to himself.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqtpybnEz2

I changed the topic. "About the photo, why did you want to see me?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aRXUlNtus

"Can we talk about this over lunch?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWcTolCO7b

"Lunch?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QqMnC6O0y

"Yes, lunch."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv0tRwluG0

A moment ago, I wasn't in the mood for lunch. But now that he mentioned it, I was starving.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtWMbIwsmK

"Lunch sounds good. But not in the open. I don't want to grab any attention."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdSZcB6mV0

"Of course. I figured you would want that. Given that no one knows where you are anyway."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiWnU467zv

I raised an eyebrow at 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YapnGgeMS
him. "You've been following me the whole time, haven't you? That's how 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHJsEF1UMN
you have been able to find me on the street."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIicHQ5viJo

He gave me that dashing 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5gmLRiLe2
smile of his. "Of course. I just had to. I knew sooner or later that we 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTin8HmuJM
would meet. I had to come prepared."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2tO8n8JPI

"That's sounds creepy if you ask me," I said as looked out the window. "So, where are we going?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N55rraiRS

"My apartment. It's much safer there."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9pVza5q67

"You own an apartment?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqTrF7qRQz

"Like I said, my parents travel around for world and South Korea, is one of their favourite spots."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99pT2MxpPD

"So, it's their apartment then and not yours."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNp0buhIov

"They have their own apartment and I have mine."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MSXcUqeaW

"Oh." I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWmRwZlji5

"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHJ2pkYAKK

It was a huge apartment 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63xmbQSqSK
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnDAwc8kQZ
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapgGPPtRzA

After the car parked, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5vDB8RsCY
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv07407v4S
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeCDd6ikS3
car, Derrick held out his hand to help me out. I took his hand and I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNV3arC392
came out of the car.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaI190gAvN

Derrick lead the way, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jVZcFMLMI
still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchhgmkk7FI
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolDKKfvAQl
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mFdxw7iJG

Derrick pressed the elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm94srTe9A

When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN3FnrwuYC

"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwyOqTFWtS

"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjbdLqH93U

"Everything," I said as I looked at him. "But one thing I don't get is why you're involving me in all this."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV5lTnOrOR

"But don't you want to know what's going on?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9PbSPh4KA

"Well, ya, I do! You're 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhVKzgfHx9
the one who sent me the photo so I'm curious. Do you know what? It was 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD89up1F1w
best you didn't send it to me in the first place."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaik9saJBI

"Why?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekj3uSIvRU

"Maybe then I wouldn't be here."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjYRdEFbg6

The elevator doors flew 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wy2P26B6K
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHzwyNuPXb
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocRHwjPyxw
you were to see it for yourself, you would think you had just stepped 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAOZcBRM8U
into heaven.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbNLLQhnCG

I stepped out of the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3iaHVomPz
elevator and beautiful paintings lined up the walls. I noticed that the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzDE82TMwd
doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB6bTRNUSP
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG7IrZxgzC
soft red carpet.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrLltfBcBP

"This place looks nice," I said as I walked down the hall.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl3vPoJ5Da

"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fVXxbSnQ8

I looked down the hall 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82YzEd18AC
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwk7RlJQAp
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhuZnErMmC
front of me stood a smartly dressed butler. It's like he knew I was 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAKXdnuqny
coming.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2qNqk5nYh

"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4TFEQsBHF

For a moment, I hesitated. Until I felt Derrick behind me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJy1JGnxxL

"Ladies first," said Derrick.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjPrMxdPg6

I gulped and took a step into his apartment.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJC4JJDgn8

"This place is very 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkob8IwisP9
nice," I said when I looked around the foyer and I when turned round the964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsGG2Zne6t
corner, there was lavishly looking sitting room with creamed coloured 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OeeGc7r5p
sofas with a glass coffee table and I huge smart screen TV pinned on the964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCar6hzfGq
wall.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLimJwbZTj

I looked to the other 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSjvn1skcv
side and there was a fancy looking table with a beautuful chandelier 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWXyVCl7ht
above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8pxOMeZfA
beautiful flower vases with orchids.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchwJbaZFSC

"I see you like 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDga7S4n0Eh
orchids," I said as I went over to the flower vase close to the sitting 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOx0gqfRTR
area and looked at the orchids. They were fresh and lovely.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWx1nuJTiM

"I know you like roses," said Derrick as he stared at me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqCGLjG15u

"Almost everything that celebrities like and don't like are always found on the internet." I rolled my eyes at him.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx3MWpMLxP

"True, but I can tell what a woman likes and doesn't."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiwRgWkN5J

I gave him a smile that showed how impressed I was.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwuNue39qs

"Lunch is ready, sir," said the butler. "Should I serve the food?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr83vYwxkG

"Yes, please," sad Derrick.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLKYHyVL4I

The butler bowed and 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HmfdnG9Yo
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb4fZcFoRt
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHtZi5T16I
ground.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET23vlVgzl

"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a9iDOrcxu

"We are," said Derrick who came to join me by the window. "This place is lovely, isn't it?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1ZUZlC9Ev

"Ya, it surly is." I knew he meant Seoul.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONnHhnwYHh

"Food is ready, Master Derrick," came the butler behind us.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVgBTVB9Xs

"Shall we?" Derrick gestured his hand towards the dining table and I walked up to it with him following behind me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo60VgM4iwV

As we got to the dining 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtIxh9NrIb
table, Derrick pushed back a chair for me and I took my seat, removing 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynpjK8Wf3u
my glasses and cap putting the glasses in my purse. I said thank you and964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy8xChbI5c
he sat at the head of the table right next to mine.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgq071zUz3

The butler had served 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUweU03w3bV
our plates on the table and just by looking at the cutlery and napkins 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxNDBRTvkO
laid and folded neatly I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgDa4g4foH
fancy fairytale. The table was set to perfection and the wine glasses 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cB2dKJ6JC
next to the plates were spotless.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9VxhsjoOc

Dishes of food were 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xeCAJoc7i
lined in the middle of the table and my mouth couldn't help but water. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnnC9pQomH
If I wasn't in such an elegant apartment, I would have just dug in and 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T024G3O7c
started to eat. I was really hungry. But for now, I had to act like a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrXW3nu25f
lady.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF0gVTf2MU

The butler helped to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5lM3uoZ6b
serve the food and I didn't hesitate eating right there and then. I made964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALLJA5rAWg
sure not to eat too much and take my time.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSIThj5wdp

"This was really good," I said, after I was done with my food.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUTtgoNHzF

"France's finest traditional dishes," said Derrick with a smile.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gvjtFnjoo

"Now, about the issue at964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DkFcdLDYS
hand," I said, wiping the corner of my mouth with a napkin as the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRCPQ4KWXE
butler came to take away my plate and also Derrick's.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xvZSFF0Gj

"Let's talk then," said Derrick.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLsFTraMBA

"First of all, I need to know why you sent it to me."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e2ES7AK7H

"Because as much as you don't want to get involved, it concerns you more than you can ever imagine."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUH6owAijZ

I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XZy8T2rKC

"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6ZRmGHWa6

The photo showed Zoey in964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyGvDELl6j
a some place that looked like a garden or a park and in front of her 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI64tQzEZBX
stood a man I couldn't recognise. His face was hidden because his back 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfdRVMCLJX
faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5xoJGjTnh
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwaImndyrG
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw4uLzguOC

"I know this isn't 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgXiEyzOEN
really supposed to concern me," I said as Derrick looked at the photo 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODGdCe8NCf
and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHFgywtsuB

"That's my brother," Derrick answered.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLMMshnf8a

Now that was a surprise. Derrick had a brother?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZIdofDmym

"Wait? Brother?" I raised an eyebrow.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX5ezsLf43

"Sadly, yes," said Derrick clearing his throat.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpXsjSMs9K

I looked at the photo 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW7zTTYisg
again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZx9unIsU8
Paris with G-Dragon and the others? And this person in the photo is your964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg4BoRfodz
brother?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8FVfqat72

I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MMlQX0OVm

"You never told me you had a brother," I said, looking at Derrick.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ903j7RKRxI

"We don't really get along," said Derrick.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27TpdvMN0L

"That figures," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Why?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchloc2FiCo

"We have been different from each other since we were kids. You can't even tell that he and I are brothers."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RDtFeoVJC

"So, what's do you think he wants with Zoey?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL69WE0Vp4O

"I have no idea but I know it's something serious."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBml6wJcvj

"So, you're just assuming all this or what?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA4EpnuMy9

"I know my brother very 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PbScNzPjg
well. I know something is going on between the two of them. I had my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArYLkoA3fC
suspicions during the Chanel fashion show."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVaB2D0Rcs

I then remembered the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmhTdtkyxL
time Zoey came back to Korea the following day after the fashion show. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EaQ4Sobm5
She was acting all weird and the way she had hugged me surprised me a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g9Bcc2Vin
little. And so did the others. Were these guys really in trouble?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKAgpEhAYY

"Are my brothers and Christine involved in this too?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQoxmeZ0Vb

"I can't be too sure. You have to ask them."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYumjt0h9bm

"But that's strange. If 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R9WXdZmWJ
it's something so serious as you put it, they would have told me. I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfojLJVYqE
don't see the reason why they would hide."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW6gI38p2Y

"If it's anything concerning my brother, I suggest you find out what's going on and fast. I don't like it."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEOxAatD6S

"But what if all this isn't that serious? In fact, what makes you think your brother is that dangerous enough to hurt us?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXyQ2gcfmg

Derrick leaned back on his chair as he looked at me and I waited for him to answer.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFdzBA7ZRN

"My brother isn't one person to mess around with. He is one person who threatens when things don't go his way."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB0T4ADrXs

"You think he is threatening Zoey?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLdj0f5kao

"He did visit Zoey in that café, didn't he?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAk1U0bfTv

"Wait! That was him?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ffhFRr8Vm

"Yes. I was there."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLBx0dWBS3

"You were there too?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihNkWRUgRY

"Yes. That's when I thought you should help me out with this."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hZ2QuU012

"But what if I can't?" I folded my arms964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAz68rihxt

"Zoey is your best friend, isn't she?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gAW7jyb1P

"She is."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxugVKaNwE1

"And wouldn't you like to help her out?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT7IviF3CH

I was frustrated with the questions. "I would. But if she didn't tell me, then maybe it's not that serious."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SER1JLvBV

"And do you really think she would?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ4M1Hu4x0

I thought about his 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmOR7Kt0aj
question for a moment. He was right. Some people wouldn't tell the truth964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0McQ9wuBA
just to prevent the ones they love from getting hurt. Maybe that's what964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4YJ4oTqnw
Zoey did and I was too silly not to have realised it sooner.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBHSB4pB6T

"You're right," I said as I looked at my hands on my lap. She wasn't the only one who kept secrets.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNXBZRSUPi

"Have you tried talking to your brother about this?" I asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wOWQINeqC

"No. He doesn't know that I'm onto him. And knowing how he is, he isn't going to tell me anything."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYgDRcGVBa

I tapped my fingers on the table and I took the glass of water that was next to me and I drank.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUjQaR6qY5

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL3boLsdjx

"Before I go, tell me 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljP1zs39Si
all you know about what happened in Paris," I said as I looked at 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j6W9w0JJG
Derrick, giving him the eye. "And don't leave anything out."
