Have you ever been awake969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGiNK3Q9r3
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xl3UqUDvZ
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWNprh1GIN
day goes on?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyC7EtS9Uv
That's how I felt right at this moment.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmzG07F43J
I tossed in my bed, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfze3iT1cPx
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwdsmI2SmY
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjWX49rdck
could come up so that I could meet my end already.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti29Asq71r
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.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrwsQucZ3l
I fell back on my bed, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuOLSCVyFg
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhP7h6sPpo
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSWwQrQgQe
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4xAHaY1xB
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqMNvMmRWn
till sunrise, but waking up three times meant I was too bothered in my 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKNS6U3w39
mind even to dream.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKIJTK7rUP
I turned to my other side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq3sHEri41
How I wish I could fall 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL34tvq4DcA
asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring slightly in her sleep. I969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8tuYeQhRW
stared up at the dark ceiling trying to picture things in my mind but I969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfGoSiDDyF
couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't working.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGVc5K0e7g
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.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ppip2lngM
I knew I now had to face969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YaUjwhwUb
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlCQC1h1Hm
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and me. And even969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdom4feis6w
though she was tired when we got back, she still hadn't stopped 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vViHIVGjM
bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4eO77Zbtc
I knew her persistence 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJz8vjacZL
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhn5y24LBB
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4S1I2Irfm
her if I had to tell her the truth.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vQo1fmsvG
I know sometimes we 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4qdkzNXbv
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VVd9hL8AV
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyF93poRwV
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqnG1udtU1
had now reached that point.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V3LIYYHQz
I sighed again as I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8PdkTRZAd
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAXhhJFfPw
What wrong did I ever do to be in the position I was in right now?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PKs4piUBl
If it came to G-Dragon, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvs7AfSA5P
he was going to be one person who will be difficult to talk to. I know I969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu4kUazFI2
betrayed his trust, and trying to convince him was going to be a whole 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIiaXY6Tga
lot harder.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzR8I0wuVd
How was I going to tell 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf6G4ty5gB
him that yes, Daesung and I did kiss, but all of that happened due to a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYoywX3GVq
completely different story? I know how bad he must be feeling and if I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMlBqLoXHe
was in his shoes, I probably wouldn't believe anything I would say 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDu7JMyb5G
either.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht6Nxcy0k2
I kicked out the bed 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyuNIGYx5A
covers and got up from the bed. And taking Mr Panda with me and my 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk6dnWaREh
phone, I slipped my feet into my bed slippers and walked out of the room969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLecGgt8VB
in my purple pyjamas.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb9KzVRlyu
I went straight for the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA25Osa6HXb
dark, empty lounge and I turned on the lights. I went to sit on the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNeMCJEHGu
comfortable couch and with my feet up and folded with Mr Panda in my 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1ApmPE88t
arms, I unlocked my phone and went straight to my contacts and called my969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AwDtS2p7K
mum.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwDCWuEHNx
Hopefully, I was calling969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bbIAib206
her at the right time. I wasn't really sure what time it would be back 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNAWBa4qrH
home in the U.S. I was too bothered to even try and figure out all this 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcn5TKcttF
time zones nonsense. I just had to talk to someone. And why not my mum?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVf614GtHT
I put the phone to my ear hoping she would pick up. I just hope she wasn't busy at work or something.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveFB1yMlbh
She finally picked up the phone on the fourth ring.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEadqaaX3kg
"Hello, Sam?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz31CyzlGhU
"Hi, mum."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGw0OO3c1j
"Sam, how are you, dear?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJNO8e4b1G
"I'm good. How are you? Are you at work?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb71IkCwp1
"Yes, I am, sweetie. I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SStDhFJzx
am just looking at photos online on the computer. A friend of mine just 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy9KD7r2rQ
told me you guys went out bowling with BigBang."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiu0KIPkXs
"Ah.." I scratched my head. "We did, mum. And we had fun."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRtwvX54B2
"Ya, I can see you guys 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RLGmXwlTi
smiling and laughing on the photos." I could hear clicking in the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5yF1WIvuz
background and that confirmed that she was tapping away on the mouse of 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5jJMM4aJb
her computer as she looked at the pictures.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZalMeqGuB
"So, was it more like a competition?" she asked. "It's says here that you guys won."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZZfY7sPwp
"It was mum. We won," I said with a smile. "You should have seen what happened. It was awesome."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVKWXdkz90
"I'll check out the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXtKapD36B
videos later on and see everything for myself, dear," I could hear my 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBg4ia3OpP
mum clicking quickly on the mouse. "Now tell me. What's bothering you? 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pxG6hLJjw
Why aren't you asleep?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLMq0WCEZ8
I raised an eyebrow. "You know what time it is here?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep07hCfd5C
"I'm your mother, Sam. Of course I know what time it is."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oHC8PhNkl
I could imagine my mum 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZixYJrO8Rh
with a stern look on her face as she said that. If we weren't talking on969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukrdNEvF0p
the phone and I was standing in front of her, she probably would have 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1If4MNJXt
her arms folded.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDREmedNj2L
"I know its way too early in the morning for you to be awake right now," she continued. "What's up?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTymuiIgDW
"I feel my whole life has been nothing but a lie, mum," I said as I tugged at Mr Panda's ears.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQTycCCXFN
"Your name is Samantha Glasson and you're a famous pop star. That my child, is not a lie."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnK3HiSVt4
"Mum, you know what I mean when I say that."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeJKTKLfse
She sighed. "What did you lie about this time?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakUnwcJfHJ
"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."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndg1VYDd18
"Tell me. I've all the time to listen."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoB7HeWuh2
"I've been lying to Zoey969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttwsEaFSgH
and everyone else about G-Dragon and I, and I don't now how to tell 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6relJTbaAp
them, especially Zoey since she likes G-Dragon so much. It would crush 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIYKBqymcS
her if she finds out G-Dragon likes me and not her."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r6NzVe40w
"I thought you girls weren't supposed to date any one of those guys."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KTWhCjB9G
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow. Collins really does tell you everything, does he?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaqbLGrD0g
"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."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnz28MXcuw
"Trust me, mum, Collins 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkHZzhh5F7
has no clue with what's going on in our private circle and I suggest 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJSWkdahvV
that you shouldn't say a word either."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYomzL1PKH
"Is that a threat?" I imagined my mum's eyebrow raised.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiyHWafaVB
"You know I can never 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY0Qt2vPlN
threaten you, mum. It's just for now until we come back home. It's a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV1OZP1nb7
matter of life and death. I've no choice."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU79ZE0X5G2
"I know. But why does Zoey like him?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8LfOrJhYp
"Knowing Zoey, you must know by now the kind of guy she would fall for, mum."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmBMLuTsXj
"True. But how come she likes him but he likes you? Don't tell me you also like him too."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIqzHiddpQ
"Well....." I hesitated, trying to figure out what to say next.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS0f3xFe4q
"Samantha Glasson," my mum's voice sounded stern now. "Tell me the truth."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBiFZUcRs0
I sighed. "I also like him, mum."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1hbYVMR8b
There was silence at the other end. Until....969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VJiMncMTP
"WHAT!"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGwkC41XFF
"Mum, calm down. It's not what you think."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHAi5V38Q6
"Then what is it? The 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5QTLe0dHg
way I'm seeing it, you also like him and you feel guilty because you 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrILoKE500L
feel like you're betraying your best friend."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXdGCTE5oA
"It was like that at 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9jgGdgxKE
first. I really do like G-Dragon but I'm learning to like him as a close969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YqdWkjwq8
friend because I know how Zoey likes him and because of Collins' 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgX37BeiOi
'golden rule'." I put "golden rule" in quotation marks with my remaining969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7dHvnyfeZ
fingers.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ETEQBpnCW
"What do you mean it was like that at first?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtKYUMsL6u
"I like G-Dragon, but he isn't the only one."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkl6GUpBMH
"Don't tell me you like someone else from the same group too."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV3kQ4S91I
I closed my eyes as I winced. "Yes, mum."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKy06pNJDK
She didn't say a word. I wondered what she was thinking right now.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn3h9A1ArS
"You're really in one hell of a mess, dear."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvmkFNpm0l
"And that's not the worst part."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRMQDJ2G1Q
I told her what happened969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj8EovBbBh
the day Zoey went missing, making sure I didn't mention the stranger in969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt0Al1uAKu
the suit. I talked about what G-Dragon and I had talked about in the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fwety10rv
park and what we agreed upon. Then I told her what happened with Daesung969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8rviVokJd
and the kiss.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWfRbc5Wpw
"You kissed?" my mum sounded surprised.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mw1Z7dbWe
"Ssh, and listen."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwTEqoARH5
I told her that G-Dragon and Zoey saw us but they didn't witness the kiss. And I told her what happened afterwards.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPSe3Zmo3o
"You're in a real mess, Sam. You now have two people to tell the truth to."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOCPLF9XU5
"If it's not Zoey and G-Dragon, then it's the entire group."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILRl3t4UMj
"I know. But you can't lie forever now, can you?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP1AmRsQ2b
I thought of what she said. "You're right. We all deserve to know the truth someday."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdklwh7tvS
"Are you scared?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfJqY8j4wp
"I am. Maybe that's why I can't fall asleep." I hugged Mr Panda close to me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtLkDGbVIt
"It's okay to be scared, sweetie. And it's good that you decided to come out clean."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEUBbsHunm
"I don't want people getting hurt because of me." I could now feel tears coming up in my eyes.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRzTB2Rt8T
"We all get hurt at some969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJkFexJJem
point in our lives, sweetie. That's why there is a time for everything.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvTqVPEpZS
Just wait and see. After the storm, everything will be back to the way 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LG2oAUEKp
it was and everyone will forget about it. Besides, no one can stay mad 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBeVxceRcm
at you forever, Sam. Not even me."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbpTMrDQmn
I smiled as a tear ran down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG6ieD0naF
"Thanks, mum." I sniffed.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2deNvE1EqG
"Don't cry, okay? You're969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡencoSbHBqh
a brave girl. Now, do me a favour and get a few minutes of sleep. You 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmccdny0LzJ
will need all the rest you can get."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwOIGRXyNP
"Yes, mum. I will."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKnlqN0Vke
"Bye, Sam. Tell me what happens, okay?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo3HyAmJ5n
"Okay. Bye."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8Vb9cD3DZ
I hang up and I quickly 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiu0wuFGXX
got up from the couch with Mr Panda and went back in the room, straight 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIUXqKbwie
into the bed covers. I fell asleep in an instant with Mr Panda in my 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRQbiCt5Bz
arms.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLpW9qmPMV
It must have been some 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVhP5BIRmg
time around 7:40 when I finally woke up. The sun rays shone brightly 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6asOumIV8
into the room that I had to shield my eyes with my hand from the light.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYBgZTP11y
"Wakey! Wakey!" Zoey came over and sat next to me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDlqWe1q0G
"Mmmm." I murmered as I turned around and covered my head with a blanket. "Leave me alone."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUjnGDFTU4
"You've to get up, Sam. We have a big day ahead of us."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gc6rg2XAU
"Isn't it a Sunday today?" I asked as I removed the blanket from my head.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3Qs7ZMjVN
"Sadly, it isn't, my 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBhpdhXnoD
dear kitty," said Zoey as she placed her hand on my head. "Looks like 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiw4SOiabL
you weren't the only one praying for it to be a Sunday."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCnYgyRmH9
"Okay." I muttered as I sat up on my bed and rubbed away the sleep in my eyes.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTpKz2AOta
"You know you have a lot of explaining to do, right?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsIfJpuACq
I yawned, then sighed. "I know. You don't have to tell me."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6sHjRJ2Oa
"So, start talking right now."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44R4oDcX3f
I looked at Zoey with wide eyes. "You want to talk now?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfkyBVzpQH
"Ya. I'm still really worried about you."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93H7qUG4Es
Looks like I had no choice. This was it. Time to tell the truth.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWyAFhp4Z0
"What I'm about to tell you, is going to crush you completely, Zoey."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0HeA32AYx
Zoey turned to look at me with a serious look on her face. "What are you saying, Sam? Is it that serious?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iYnaxXHBx
"It really is, and I feel bad that I have to tell you."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeqeqvm7u3
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.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGh0Q1n04u
"Just tell me, Sam. Even if it's going to hurt."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwFt87Kzb6
I closed my eyes bracing myself for impact. My heart was pounding so hard.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRwHU0jMrF
"It's about G-Dragon and I," I said. "I'm sorry to say this but...."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2OLMY6v4s
"You like him, don't you?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIemoij0AZx
I opened my eyes in shock. That wasn't supposed to happen. And what made Zoey say all that?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV8IqWqQdJ
"I..uh...no, that's not it."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90U9dHOfBS
Zoey laughed. "Don't worry, Sam. I know how much you also like him. I'm not mad."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u8QmslMEQ
"Zoey, that wasn't what I...."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm6YazKIoh
"Expected from me?" Zoey969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKGE2M0XoF
grinned as she flipped her hair to the side. "I know, you're surprised.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBGJc6dEVW
I like him, you like him, the whole world likes him."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslpdZHbJMI
"Zoey, I..." Zoey placed her index finger on my lips to keep me from talking further.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCGZA7JAmB
"I know you feel guilty 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2vRLVOWM1
that you like him because I do too. Don't worry about it, because I know969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD4ON8ZrCE
that you wouldn't try to steal him away from me."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHp8XDZlAb
I gulped. What was I going to tell her now? How was I going to her that G-Dragon liked me and not her?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CCMXh30lP
"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC1Te93AW2
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."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7M5hIpONT
I wanted to slap my 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8uoM7KY3v
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuikdDp6UZw
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZNjJWsNeh
it gets out of hand.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz0DOmLb9h
"Zoey, listen to me," I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgRFSKIvDu
said as I looked at her in the eye. "I admit that I like G-Dragon, but 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV5hzDPCpJ
not in the way you think. You on the other hand, need to know that...."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cDfOrcNZq
I paused. That was odd. 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEFtx2gygM
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeOzXhIYM0
felt someone had just cast a spell on me and now I was tongue tied.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr3u00h1tE
Zoey looked at me, irritated that I had stopped talking. "What do I need to know?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb19JEjjfua
What was wrong with me? I969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKtLYzXA7z
had so much confidence when I was talking just now and I still do. But 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecEwqO337u
now, I couldn't say anything. I opened my mouth to speak, but still 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChPu8dgytj
nothing came out. Zoey shook her head.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd4g7Tgk2N
"You're weird, Sam," 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSLpbi6iTP
Zoey stood up from my bed and went straight for the bathroom. "When you 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdifC5bQyG
finally have the courage to tell me what you wanted to say, I'll be 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXnlPZEj0L
waiting."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgBuTKKmic
Zoey closed the door and969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf96X5vtvC6
I heard the shower tap turn on. Oh no! I blew it this time and that 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBI8KZmCqJ
just proves that telling her the truth was going to be a whole lot 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCUXpfnkUN
harder than I thought.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeIB2fCi1X
At least Zoey knew that I once liked G-Dragon, that's if she really took what I said seriously.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCPtFOCJRW
This was all so messed up and I felt like I was going nuts.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8OpDvbUv7
I stood up from my bed 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDFunzDJk3
and started to pace up and down, thinking. What happened to me a few 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJYMmNdZ8o
minutes ago? Why couldn't I tell Zoey the truth? Well, half of it, which969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPFOtpu5ST
is the most important part.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLi1NdCguN
"It's not your portion to say anything to Zoey. And you know it."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDYIWAUSIi
Whatever my conscious 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdw7SZ0oZI
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb9hpIW7bh
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that why I was tongue tied 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZYJkJWwef
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSlmuVIJbN
If that was the case, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskwiBB5c9u
then G-Dragon better do it fast. The earlier it was, the better. Before 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHe4xNiP6X
Zoey really gets too much involved with him or else she would be 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yxJTqX5qu
shattered completely.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm3EwMMRiZ
While I was trying to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqNSgtrluN
figure out what to do next, my phone rang and I went on the bed to reach969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbEMQKagaS
out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJHxYlYAAm
When I checked the caller ID, I raised an eyebrow. An unknown number. I wonder who it was?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2oxRN7j8o
I answered the call. "Hello?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n0INQDBqT
"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBe0f9C6EY
I held my breath. That 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8Bazn7LOp
sent a chill down my spine. Who was this? Dang it! I'm supposed to be 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLN70WxaNg
asking that question, not thinking it.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUBpXIGnxH
I cleared my throat. "Hello? May I know who this is?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMGtg7OPWW
The man chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What matters is that we talk."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsYDDrI5LM
"Talk? Talk about what?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0xxiBVU2L
"Did you check the photo I sent you?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt2QxZrn89
"Photo? What...?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItqpmj9lI3
I paused when I realised the photo he was talking about. I had completely forgot about it.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lzcIx7iMW
"Oh!" I slapped my forehead. "I never downloaded it to see what it was." I raised an eyebrow. "What's the photo about?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywymLUx77A
"If you haven't seen it,969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fk85Lr1f2
then it's best you see it for yourself. I can't tell you over the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIr2nxfJdW
phone. When you see it call me or text, will you, sweetheart?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeCGBEEJA6
Sweetheart? What was this guy playing at? What was the photo all about?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SqOvJgAkB
"Are you trying to blackmail me with the photo?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9jIobuWG6
"I wouldn't call it blackmail. But everything would be more interesting if you're involved."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaaZAh2h34
"If I'm involved? What do you mean?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBzFUN0JZg
I could soon hear the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMWGsYWWj2
person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYvBtRprf4
break it. What was going on today? First, I had G-Dragon and Zoey to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYECCllO6g
handle and now, I had this stranger calling me and making things worse.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sITLUC53Z
I looked back at my 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW0QQb1GxS
phone and started to go straight to my messages. I checked the message I969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaQduvF61Y
had received from the unknown man and I realised that I still hadn't 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ws5lsexdl
downloaded the picture. I switched on my mobile data and started to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjVi6mCFFI
download the photo.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1ruMbjJ97
"Sam! Zoey!" Lee came all of the sudden into the room. She almost scared me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExiejTazL9
"Goodness, Lee!" I held my chest as my heart beat fast. "There is a thing called knocking, you know?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQodGE9OQc5
"I know, I thought you guys were still asleep."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtE7ekJ4Mz
"No matter," I said. "We're all awake as you can see."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cFNz0rAq4
"Okay. Get ready, we have to leave for the studio."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI2oqGxJUn
I nodded and Lee left. I969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WAKKTOBG0
went back to looking at my phone. I frowned. The internet was so slow 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TW42CfZR9
today. The photo hadn't finished downloading yet.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmEnhJQ1jr
"I'm done," said Zoey as she came out of the bathroom in her towel. "You go get ready."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtKWoUTG2m
"I just want to see something first," I said as I pointed at my phone.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZMHUCAoRw
Zoey walked up to me, took my phone and threw it on her bed.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8tGng3ojh
"Zoey!"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3APLB8QII
"Not a word, Sam. You're969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqPZuzaVPD
always the one telling me to get ready and be punctual, but you don't 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63GVg3gZYo
want anyone telling you anything. Just go take a shower. I wonder what's969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZgBUm768n
up with you today."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnCRIEy8fe
If only she knew. So 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJgXorZ16m
many things were running in my mind that I couldn't seem to focus on one969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpksEDToAx
thing because something else would just pop up all of the sudden.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HaKtZ6qFT
I went to the bathroom 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTpmYPo5Bi
and locked the door behind me. Before I could undress and get into the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwAqO6SDl0
shower, I went over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my own 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQeKIzsIqG
reflection.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbO8B5GkfF
I looked like I hadn't 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrQa5z1LH1
had sleep in days with all the dark circles underneath my eyes. I was 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKpSeaZbP8
deeply troubled, that's for sure. My problems just got increased by one 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvFUU8vIz8
if not by two.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFExSYm4pc
G-Dragon and Zoey were 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SOxsEQRYB
my main problem to tackle today. And all of the sudden, an unknown 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsO4GURzY7
stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN3VD33UFJ
about. And why he sent it to me was the most confusing part. If he 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsYRSRtNeV
wasn't blackmailing me, then what was this charade about?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP4c216lbr
After I took a quick 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIo171tgwH
shower, I quickly went back in the room and I went straight for my phone969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQoD4HIykD
on Zoey's bed. Zoey had already dressed up and she went past me into 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFGZq71dYU
the bathroom to get her makeup done.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BRDdDbp35
I unlocked my phone. I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcihZdZCeY9
was pretty anxious about the photo that even my hands were shaking. The 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuIojXzOmg
photo must be done downloading by now.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhZRVWpu1B
Just as I unlocked the phone, it vibrated. Someone was calling me. Oh no! What now?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8K054ZPNv
Seungri was calling. What could he probably want to talk to me about this early in the morning?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmBwTjKbgu
"Hello, Seungri?" I answered.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYWmdBtg7q
"Morning, my panda," said Seungri.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47xk7HJoLK
"Morning. How was your night?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA9McGBIAx
"My night was perfect, since I dreamt of you."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgEKCS9hHw
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.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA69YEkpWD2
"Oh, wow," I said, trying to act a little surprised. I hope he bought it.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04n7ypu3DC
"I've a little something I want to give you when you get to YG."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLH5zeTShv
I smiled a little. At 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV34rmyRB4x
least out of all that was going on, Seungri managed to make me smile, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj68G9vMVrX
which was quiet peculiar because he didn't say anything funny. I was 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYDgbMRc86
already imagining another huge stuffed panda waiting for me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVMXyVhWad
"Can't wait," I said with a little laugh. "See you."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWVwmv9arx
"You too."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OfBoTmMEe
He cut the line and I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEhDbG6j7J
threw my phone on the bed. I decided to dress up first and have my 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFGDlhABna
breakfast, before Zoey came back in the room and start to pressurise me 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPm5wfc6jJ
again. I had already pissed her enough this morning.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRGTLkPzsc
After I dressed up and 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw4TRnmZ2n
Zoey had left for breakfast, I went in the bathroom to get my hair done 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBap7UNRKmp
and applied a bit of makeup to hide my dark circles. When I was done, I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Ss7GBXH8
went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBggXfWZxl
always did, I wore my black pumps, grabbed my phone and went out of the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTotx1TOfH3
room.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6CYYAgdJu
Just as I got into the lounge, I made a bee line to the dining table. Everyone was at the table eating their breakfast.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EarGDBs1Y
"Someone isn't themselves this morning," said Collins as he watched me approach the dining table.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfyZgKHwdc
I knew he was talking about how late I was today. I was usually the earliest to be at the dining table.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16lb3amsqQ
"Sorry," I said as sat down next to Lee. "I was pretty bummed up, that's why."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyy5ZDxvqf
"No pressure, just eat up, we have a lot of work to do today."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgBzv0VBFo
There was a variety of breakfast options today and I decided to take some cereal, which I haven't had in a while.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbvE2MLJM9
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.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0nK8sh0im
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.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRRf9lRNdY
I looked at everyone at the table and when they didn't say a word, I shrugged my shoulders.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAG5YWY9nP
"What?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GqezFEULs
Mike who sat opposite me cleared his throat. "You're eating cereal."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3GrNKLznk
I frowned. "So?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4O1F7cLVI
"But there is bacon and eggs with toast," said Daniel.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjdH8vvNFI
I was still confused. "So?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIHRruLh2G
"You usually don't eat cereal when there is bacon, eggs and toast," said Collins.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPrb4PKJ6j
"And cereal is kind of like my thing," said Daniel.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmdou8K47F
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?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbjsah3GrM
"I don't see the harm in969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqtlxMRpk5
eating cereal. I have oatmeal whenever I feel like it and that's still 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHREVYOTRE
cereal," I said. "I just wanted something different for a change. Is 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3gGqKfmjY
that wrong?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx74JjeUVgm
Everyone else looked at each other and then they looked back at me, shaking their heads.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFdqibdpi1
"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."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWF1fnzNqY
"I can see that," said 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNZUCYbeVB
Zoey as she drank from her cup of coffee. I knew she was making fun of 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfHqRt2qG2
me but I decided not to say anything.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1AFo1d1fX
When we were done with 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAKwMTBvbR
breakfast, we headed downstairs in the lobby and the black SUV was 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7dAw7aQcA
waiting for us as usual. When we got in, I made sure to take the back 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6boHNOiUFj
seat with my brothers next to the window so that I would avoid people 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlqIv3nzs0
looking at my phone.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDdgN6ajbs
When everyone in the car969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNbzrfjNzQ
was engrossed in some conversation that I had no interest in joining in969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe78CWloRo
or listening to, I decided to check my phone. The photo was done 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEfJIhMs3y
downloading and what I saw made my mouth drop and my eyes pop.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuLZtmuE7D
"What's wrong, Sam?" Mike who sat next to me asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuLTbXJHkA
I quickly pressed the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3mstrhip9
power button on the side of the phone and blacked the screen. Mike was 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn9mFbEwCu
already leaning onto my side to see what was on my phone.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKsOY5LrOt
"Nothing, just some scary video," I said.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnbH4XUX0W
"May I see?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84mEfKAm5m
"No. You won't be sleeping for the next two days."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3wZPh1mEo
"I've watched horror movies before. I can handle a little scare."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LWaLMuGjJ
"No can do, bro," I said as I put my phone into my purse that I had decided to carry with me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN47PS2dQt
Mike leaned back and folded his arms. "Whatever."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEUUub5lqO
I wish I could tell him 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq802z4qGtQ
and everyone else what was going on. But at the moment, I felt like 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPMM5ksHPc
keeping everything to myself, not after what I had seen.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rYhSw8r9u
Now that I had seen the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9lQsl0r88
photo, I had to meet up with the stranger and talk about all this. But 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN79EPv6pUn
where to meet the person and when was going to be a hustle. It was 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUilwA8WCmm
pretty obvious that I had to meet him alone.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9PZNMjwGZ
Speaking of which, I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1jONSFsBT
still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhglEzbl6Rx
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSnAAw702x
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ebkbydSrK
choreography today. This was hectic. And I knew that if I was pushed 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQI92uL4xk
further onto the edge, I would burst.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv8YflQmQO
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.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ8c3PW0Ow
My heart skipped a beat.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUExbEv4Kkk
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgAQFtnuxW
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UqtHjDrq7
choice.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFV4m7bIOz
As soon as I stepped out969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXedAwbUBHJ
of the vehicle, I took a deep breath as I looked at the entrance. I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ05F9Rifx
felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRMQzrhafe
"Are you okay, Sam?" Christine asked as she came to stand in front of me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCLpZ85iic
"I'm fine," I said. "I just realised that I haven't really thought of any ideas for the music video."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY4eYuSzk9
"You're aren't the only 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqtDtwfC9U
one," Christine said with a smile. "Let's just hope our minds will get 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ArfGIy5Fs
to work on that when we get in there."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmZRlqmnv4
I managed to put up a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7rVYIrpxW
smile, but I knew my mind wasn't going to be on full throttle today. How969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsFLZ1xqCn
I wish this wasn't happening to me right now.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI506hbrvP7
As I came into the lobby969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO1oJMyFYm
with Christine, we found Collins talking to the receptionist. The rest 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jtE3qZ9rP
were heading towards the elevator and we joined them.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jrES2OQbN
"You will be going up to the dance studio," Collins said as he turned to us. "The others are waiting for you there."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHXqA9DnEp
"Okay," the others responded. I for one felt really jumpy at the moment.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPtU1LevtJ
We all got in the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE2p4673lF
elevator and Mike was busy talking about some dance moves he had come up969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnFMML6KHy
with and I wasn't really paying attention though I did get one or two 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0vj1WbGTY
things.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZzIcbH9Uu
We got to the dance 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLpovMBKtI
studio while Lee and Collins decided to go upstairs to meet with Yang 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs63JvQVpxO
Hyun-suk. We checked a few dance studios before we finally found them.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ4CZ9HBNe
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted so enthusiastically as we came in the room.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn9yKRgvk0
I was too lost in 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv5X2g7LX4
thought to even reply to the other's greetings until Seungri came up to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7G9DwIUZy
me and hugged me. That brought me right back down to earth.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1ocPc4W8V
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seungri asked, still hugging me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsl5OsRB97
"I'm fine," I said, as I pulled myself away.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSYPt1xPH2
"If I know you well, you look pretty occupied in that head of yours," said TOP as he walked up to us.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ELZIJg5QH
"Tell me about it," said969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75XQCCbbov
Zoey as she was now on the floor with Daesung standing right beside her969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezajzA4vc9
and she was removing her shoes. "She's been weird all morning."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzD3i8gPMu
"How weird?" Taeyang asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB4NIge3uH
"Too weird," said Daniel.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zhanp75rp
"Cut me some slack, guys," I said. I looked at Taeyang. "They are just saying nonsense."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlmAUK49GM
"Says the person who was so late to wake up today," said Zoey.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v3vOYNrFc
"And ate sweet cereal for breakfast instead of bacon, eggs and toast," said Christine.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WkP9ZHtTa
"And refused to give me her phone to check out what she was watching," said Mike.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8jThPJRRt
I shrugged. "So? And Mike, seriously? Just over a phone?" I shook my head at my brother.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rBPSc0YOH
"It's not like you, Sam," said Daniel. "That's all we are trying to say."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAs8Wx4wwM
I rubbed my forehead. "Look, guys, I'm just a little bummed out because of yesterday. Is that so wrong?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1m0o11P2d
"No, I think something is bothering you," said Zoey, still on the floor.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZINZysE30C
"I'm fine. Trust me. My mind is pretty tired."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfDDw3wF5P
"Come on, guys, let's not stress her out because of this," said Daesung. "If she says she is tired, then she is."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfsudG2us0
Zoey slapped Daesung's leg with her hand and Daesung looked down at her. "Don't try to defend her."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwfsI7bqqm
"I'm not."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDefR9JWjQ
Zoey snickered at him and I knew why. She still remembered the little incident yesterday with Daesung and me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznAqAJH4F0
"Where is G-Dragon?" Daniel asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmgTJF8uXU
I looked around the room and I noticed that GD was the only group member who wasn't here.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD2JA5IH28
"He went to get the choreographer," TOP answered.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgncEC2rAwh
"Now, Sam, about your little problem...." said Mike, turning to face me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0jKvylDOe
"Not now, Mike," I said as I folded my arms. "You can attack me later, just not now."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtRWFujAV4
"Not to worry, my little kitty," said Seungri who stood right behind me. "Maybe this will cheer you up."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUWUwX24f7
Before I could turn 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm4cDJ70aM
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QOMpaksCO
head. My hand reached up for whatever it was.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwRJHAnN9w
"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZEqnTRfg9
I took the crown from 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LJenYpplR
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdIQP8vB4t
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNP7P6f2tE
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq6zNCt6Sf
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qa94RyP67
"Wait, are these real diamonds?" I asked as I turned to look at Seungri with a surprised look on my face.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bx3FvGAXV
"It is," said Seungri 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQbei0TtS5
with a huge smile on his face. "And I know how much you value sapphire 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cWprGsxs4
stones because it's your birth stone."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenQrCUcRU4
"Aww! Thank you so much,969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbv2KNy8oP
Seungri!" I gave him a hug and I couldn't stop smiling. Somehow, I knew969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS1QIBjs9y
he was going to brighten up my day today.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQfzB8wg4V
"So pretty, let me see," said Christine, as she came and took the crown from my hand. "Wow!"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky531IWBAq
"I want to wear it," 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38BP3lKHbG
said Zoey as she got up from the floor and rushed to look at the crown. 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75A9tubSuI
Christine put the crown on Zoey's head.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNwtf9koCc
"Don't I look like a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEte4BjYBZ6
true queen?" Zoey asked as she looked at her reflection through the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDFxAy3144
studio mirrors that lined up the walls of the room.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShrYjVknmL
"You look like that evil witch in those fairy tale fantasy movies," said Mike.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqX2BBylQg
"Haha, very funny," Zoey said as she turned to look at Mike.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWD4QZSdP1
"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGzwen51N8
"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEiJWtTgTy
"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gkwHAFxgV
"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91WcOt7Y03
"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXareyTVFI3
"May her royal majesty 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGXINodVq0
get her crown back?" Taeyang asked as he came behind Christine and took 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTy3wUtUGX
the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQbp3jNQON
"Oh, hail the queen!" Taeyang chanted and I broke into a laugh, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOWOaNW4Gj
"Stop it, will you? You're making me blush," I said, trying to cover my laugh with my hand.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH35HidSJj6
"You look just like a real queen, Sam," said TOP.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDizgzUOwXS
"Thanks." I was still blushing like crazy.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBDqyRkece
"Let me take a photo," said Daesung, pulling out his phone.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s0Oz0FMW8
"Ya. The whole world should see the queen of k-pop," said Zoey.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6YTy8b49F
"Are you really calling me that?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RCADTG1aJ
"We did win last night, didn't we?" Zoey asked. "Of course I'm calling you that."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvgyzIZGPB
I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't really taking it that seriously. It was nothing but a game."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM0OEJTxG5
"A game we won. Cheer up. We are all kings and queens with you."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6c40BBjLF
I looked on at Zoey trying to smile as best as I could, but somehow I couldn't.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr612kkyJ9R
She couldn't tell the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fsywrs2S9
look on my face because she didn't even ask. Daesung went ahead and took969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9iLhFMWVj
pictures of me, and then we huddled together as a group to take a group969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnC07Wf5L3
photo with me in the middle.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCBIvNIl73
"Hey, what's going on here?" G-Dragon asked as he came in the room.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidPACESQ85
"Taking photos with the queen," said Daniel.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT4oFG44q1
"The queen?" G-Dragon looked confused until he saw the crown on top of my head. "Oh..."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwWEYljLEd
"It's pretty, isn't it?" Zoey asked. "You should also get me one."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoy2S6dBEh
"I can make a gold one if you want," said G-Dragon.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1wIOZZOQY
Zoey smiled. "Even better."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e9VyPv1Jl
G-Dragon turned to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdevyOt2wJJ
Taeyang. "The choreographer is going to be here any moment now. So I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKaK82Rnic
suggest we bring out your ideas if you have any. We can start without 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeOsUcHjh2
him and he will find us."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2yMV1FuSa
"Mike told me over the phone earlier that he had some brand ideas," said Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOhbPMHd8x
"Ya, I do," said Mike. "You guys just watch. I have the song in my phone so I'll play it from there."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzccctay27l
We all stood on one side969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKjLikeFRC
of the room while Mike took off his jacket and got his phone to search 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliNdevFsB2
for the track. He gave Daniel to hold the phone and when he positioned 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHxe6fDQZp
himself in the middle of the room and turned to look at us.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVDapFdX9A
"So, I was thinking, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmTf45dsPs
since G-Dragon and Zoey start the first verse, they should open up the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xlaKcU5QV
dance floor. So, I need someone to act as Zoey so that I could show you 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcRVkczCAO
guys."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcInirmE7cH
Christine came forward 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aoZs9x131
and Mike gave her a few instructions on what to do. She nodded her head 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8krPsZ80lH
and Mike told Daniel to press the play button on cue.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzjHM1N4uY
With Christine and Mike 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsEZdR0x6D
each facing opposite directions with their backs touching, the music 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ5X5q6C27
started to play. Still not looking at each other, the two started the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya6oCkRRuN
dance with each of them taking a step forward, breaking the contact 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbABWyKoTly
between them and then like a powerful force pulling them, they dragged 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mPLYcxzmK
themselves back and they again their backs touched.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o1QlaiffV
With a bit of skilful 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl64Hez0DD
footwork, they turned to face each other and with their hands, they drew969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuigczt5LT
closer and then skidded away from each other with their hands in the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw72DCglCB
air.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaVaHMhsPm
"Then you guys will come in through the middle then make a formation in front."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORITK9iDHf
"That's pretty awesome," said Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsytzpheaST
"Very smart," said G-Dragon.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJNs2MkfCc
"Let's practise that," said Zoey taking G-Dragon's hand and taking him in the middle of the dance floor.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ugKJJgpXa
"I'll take you through the moves," said Mike as he faced them.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi5gFbOxVW
"Your brother is a total genius, isn't he?" TOP asked as he stood next to me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxUFMzHwi7
"Ya, he is," I said with a smile.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXSAvJwOYy
The door soon opened and969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba7pDeOiHH
the person who I guessed was our choreographer walked in. We stopped 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK7XE420ru
what we were doing and bowed as he came further in the room.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaqez4Sc25
"So, I see you guys are already getting started," said the choreographer.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp3Xl3dskn
"Yes, we are," said Seungri.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgYyeSECKH
"Okay, let me see what you have done so far."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjs5GUPdBD
Mike and Christine 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvuNKxomHM
stepped forward and the music playing on Mikes phone, they did the dance969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjzCkY2PTE
routine. After their hands broke apart, Mike explained how the rest of 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3q4IdVZTY
us will come in the scene.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgZUkZSKrJ
"Mmmm," the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOsm5d4EIY
choreographer looked on at Mike as he tapped his chin. For a moment I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinAqK5q042
thought he was going to say something bad, but he didn't.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxYw4piMTI
"I like it," said the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Yh5u84hj
choreographer. "So far, the starting part is brilliant. I wouldn't have 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGEVeearRJ
thought of anything better. Now let's see if Zoey and G-Dragon could 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDpgAY7nyu
quickly work on their moves then we will come to the part when everyone 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQk3mijt95
comes in."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ct39ZlZnP
Zoey and G-Dragon took 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dTPsscmsl
to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcIezrL9yN
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUbGZT5vR5
were perfect.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomaQ3SK6OY
"Excellent," said the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MDeKIqzFP
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmBeeZQzR1
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVoggPv8l0
them like a doorway. We will come in a straight line and then make a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg2FGiyx2Y
formation in front of them."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8he2255ule
We did as the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwdoKJ6hxm
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvtfI32GAE
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zr2Ubwczn
the hang of it.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun1lHPClOx
A few minutes later, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiNtI7TBEl
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte8DoWTGa1
that we can take a break with some of us with our backs on the floor and969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8jCLonAT6
staring at the ceiling. Others were seated.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHsKdfaT89
"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9cA3Oj78K
I laughed, also staring 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rxK44uW8e
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboTXboAw0Q
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGWNyS9Gew
"Ya, true," said Christine who also had her back on the floor and laid a few feet away from me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQrgRQ2Rlw
Speaking of problems, I completely forgot about that French guy.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCSYuO1jCX
I quickly scrambled up 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIsUOCvrOt
from the floor passing Mike and Taeyang who were seated on the floor and969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt0swQMKYA
still talking about the dance moves. I went to the corner of the room 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJZCYhLbOh
where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhIH9jw0yJ
and removed my phone.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk9i8IO3NB
I sent a message to the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVc9OpHqM8
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHrID79thx
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fLEOXAoT9
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkzpCx0Q7p
"Good. We should meet."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMS2wocnU1
Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpC9m5K7IM
"I can't see you today. I'm kind of busy."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQJQWmFEfc
"But this is a very important issue, Sam."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v8jbafzPV
Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1GtrheEqH
I texted, "what happens if I don't meet with you today?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7gs3SpwxE
"You're one smart 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEtZTApEyV
girl. I don't have to explain because you know what will happen when the969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzBH2YaXzC
whole world sees this. It's today or never. And never comes with 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB164tyZtX
consequences."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hnwCuKxYw
I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ957Aq84YKU
"Fine. I'll tell you when to meet when I'm done."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltEhF3nlNl
"That's my girl."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4muJ2E2aVn
I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLmEq6wFd8
As I tucked my phone 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEroz5zh4a7
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0oLpJgeXi
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO2kVyz29O
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0HaIfLsHA
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUREHcMy5q
I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjKjWaHU8s
When they both turned to969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2dmZTrjsM
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphleG0RnCS
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKvXHyUvGO
couldn't help but feel that they were.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ebWzGYvyK
I laid back down 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4XoZAPP8o
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxUR2R6oEV
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCyLohzwTY
two of us had in our room this morning?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgbxMUOrJq
Yikes! If she did, then I969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXbmtk5CKL
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjS9uiHeE0
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPiNqNg8Gz
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0uCCSAQL8
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Dp7UbaHz
Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVwKu9NxGb
"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbtFfLJbfb
"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEhiAO4jAw
"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQZOEqV7Qn
Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaLgbWe4g1
"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTUTnAIhDV
"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnxQEoKLQ0
"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkXSdT73hQ
"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeu6eqDI88
"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IWRv1tfE8
"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT2BDFa0js
"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf9FJxzd0A
"No. It sounds great."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaOCYBmiOl
"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ANXf3WZY2
"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.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BlZJutET2
"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwiExjaBsH
"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qpZpc82z8
"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2w84q3HbG
"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde1EXi468K
"True," said Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPxK14JbmL
"Okay," I said, feeling a969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8xUGQJUWM
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBdeUVi2HU
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEknYjMmSI
"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYnSOvECG2
After the three had 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzZfsZU8aB
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjqCw4AGL5
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYpDePSz9y
While we waited, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UzdkQU5NM
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLaBddXshs
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUruRLM4xsj
expression on his face.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaYfpfZpxk
"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbUaScebVd
He sounded serious and I969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3d3oj2LdG
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCM7utUSu9
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74FugVGec0
"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqVjR17HBf
I got up from the floor 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDnGeRpCO9
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg8pBxGXVL
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbczVryMqKs
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6amviTO93U
I found G-Dragon three 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r3JEHj1n1
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27iV1AgQPa
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpVW3CqlvF
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XXKEL7Cba
close.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhELVriSQvG
"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP8v9FGQJF
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.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ttf7oL9em
"It's about Zoey," he said.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD9DAcIZuC
I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQsWvbke4c
"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?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SpVIjYVxI
"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhoJe7yl21
"Really? That's all you can say?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VTABWN17R
"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhouQJnu0y
"But you almost had."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGcI9EmUBN
"Yet I couldn't."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzt9NZOYAW
"Zoey is right. You're 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcbiPlYVRS
been acting really weird today. Weird enough to tell her the truth when 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8sjl0D6Cd
you know I was supposed to do it."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtwZOqmyO0
"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wiIOgFbH3
"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreheqrziZN
I paused before I could say, "what?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79DSnuDKC0
"You heard me loud and 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVoZ8eVfPl
clear, Sam. As though kissing Daesung wasn't enough, you're now trying 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjZu87m8Wr
to take matters into your own hands."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgSp4uU1He
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.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV5sxvnSlG
"Wait, that's not true," I said.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGbTj70rNf
"Which one? You kissing Daesung or taking matters into your hands?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYujTNoyhR
I now realised that I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt3EnuB72S
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOMLZlrXzg
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ22reCsFZ
assumption right. But there was no point in hiding now. The truth was 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjsFVGE560
bound to come up sooner rather than later.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFNHRb7HnX
"Aren't you going to answer? Which one of the two?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZAdYCj1il
I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC807yMwPGi
"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvs8URRx3y
"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlEmulc7uv
G-Dragon took a step 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbv59iLXHB
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKd1aeJ3Dr
you kiss my best friend who is like a brother to me!"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafbGWbVEpu
"You wanted the truth, didn't you? You got one! But backstabbing you wasn't what happened."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8UtF0BKQ1
"Then what did happen?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmIVzvThwN
"All of this is nothing 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWOWLxi236
but a misunderstanding. I never went back on my word. Things just 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wPJpn8QN5
happened that I myself couldn't control."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmArJ6aEdg
"Don't lie to me, Sam."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhusTeA4sEj
"You know what, I'm 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEStdhmwTZw
trying my best here to try and tell you the truth but you're acting like969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vdEmCPHuK
a deaf person blocking my words out. I knew from the very beginning 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhwMUU9iyQ
that I could never be with you nor with Daesung and I have accepted it. I969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sDodJaLDM
talked about that with him yesterday. That's why he kissed me."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FyMXRGlqO
G-Dragon shook his head. "So you're saying that he kissed you and not that you kissed him?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOCJhj0hLc
"Yes. But I know you 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52Vh4r8YyY
won't believe me. Unlike you, at least Daesung realised and accepted it 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ffos8R3aK
for himself that he and I could never be together."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKPD98OsL9
I looked at G-Dragon and I knew I hit the spot. I just hope that what I said would make him understand.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dwzCw4IND
"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxVun5CziR
I turned around to head 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv04ol4XfM
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlSCXSkUrF
angry. I was frustrated and my problems were far from over.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe4cc0zPtR
When I came back in the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLrZlwMsh3
studio, all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I could tell on 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxACYpGvVK
their faces that they had heard the entire conversation.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX0NWZ6ebR
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo85mnWnz5o
I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi1l2Vf3Pd
I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24oRsAZOSr
"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZICdijkxX
I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0EDDaOtdZ
I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVjxJ8QNP9
I heard the door open 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFqHM7NRiG
behind me and I knew G-Dragon had come into the room. At the corner of 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVDxleQPNb
my eye, I could see Zoey turn towards the door.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuIP7bz60R
"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."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieH7VNyH4b
"It's nothing," I heard G-Dragon say.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn4ocUMPEF
"It's nothing? Looking at both of your faces, something did happen," said TOP.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nqQu7uGra
"Look guys," I said as 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcfFrSHjTV
quickly stood up from the floor and turned to face them. "Tell me if I'm969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4nS4nHTjB
wrong, but you guys heard the entire conversation, right?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQvANfvLEY
No one said anything and they had guilty looks on their faces. That settled it.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiLPJPs7RV
"I'm sorry you had to hear all that," I said as I scratched my head. "We shouldn't have been so loud."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iLLt0QptU
"Why didn't you two tell us all this before?" Seungri asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCMMZaTFty
I didn't say anything 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdNSpDw9qu
and neither did G-Dragon. We looked at each other and then at the others969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nhevHFmIh
who were waiting for either of us to say something.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1xKQ1lydk
Before anyone could 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GNaXiXsUT
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4towpnJuu
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuX69M2NAR
we went back to practising.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG8KoPnAcD
I don't know how I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaKNlHPTbS
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzaVfuUI6s
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErQhSwzXgG
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNQPuPhgKz
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtQup7OGUM
head in the real world and not mess things up.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSOPC8d5SX
It was lunch time and 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK51vjkCp5
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHynGCJu0Iv
was so tired, I wondered if I would be able to meet up with the unknown 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3yYKP6I6h
stranger.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDc2SpmB8v
Now that we were on a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuuJu5761t
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeI8h0aKxg
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElXiyIYO8G
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHs22VRR8S
too awkward for me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqzn5Akr4O
Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQUMCcO2uo
I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp0QlzRTDo
"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPCaFvXiIC
Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0VBMt8pCq
"Well, you guys can talk if you want," said Seungri, "but I'm hungry."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa6RpVOZia
"Ya, me too," said Daniel.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvSmFFxMFK
"We can order a pizza," said Christine.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1j5OoPRo2
"Good idea," said Taeyang.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMjYrwLAns
As though they couldn't 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmcmcIwQCM
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMytAx8Fd0M
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbGkYMoVmX
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was entirely my fault.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH8kCv5AEY
A few seconds later, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1dmXbQKMp
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0wswNUnQf
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaBECwXyF7
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxdWlY0bQe
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYJKkb9pRY
As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ5GDTtCGK
"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iimMtQx8a
"A lot has happened 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eRLQfJhjZ
today that I need to tell you, Lee," I said, keeping my voice down in 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpwFWcZCla
case there were any people snooping around.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBSe1R19SF
"What? What's happened?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGRmW2Tpqw
"Everyone now knows the truth about G-Dragon and I. They heard us arguing."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNO43k0Lx5
I could hear Lee gasp and I pictured her ready to drop and faint. "For real? Oh, gosh, this is bad."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPQjdpCn1v
"That's not the worst 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiVksgR1Q3
part," I said as I found myself at the end of the hall going down a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNXMBei8jL
flight of stairs. "A weird guy called me today and I need to meet him."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2djHiSPAcz
"Huh? What for? Who is this guy?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrn8uISiGk
"Like I said, he is 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAyFvUEwSW
weird. Something bad came up and if I don't meet him soon, a lot of us 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLqVNtqtF4
are going to be toast especially with the press."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7rkD7LUQP
"Is he blackmailing you or something?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwxR9HYUTN
"I'm not sure if I can 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfSaAbPqj9
call it that. But if I'm affected too, then it kind of looks that way. 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gdf4BOq2E
Do me a favour and meet me at the back of the building."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmsuiSJo4L
Lee paused. "Why? You aren't going to meet him, are you?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpxNGhzNxM
"I've no choice and I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUboscc11k
would better do it now because we are going to be here for a while until969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoi5HZJG5J
we are done with the dance routine. Bring me a pair of sunglasses, a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCmjN0Zdf6
cap and a scarf."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGHfHM6b1Q
"What will you need that for?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIZvgOYYrH
"Trust me," I said as stopped on the stairs. I wasn't too sure which floor I was on at the moment.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r5rl6r9we
"Okay, fine. I'll see where I can get those."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVgVNfTFfN
"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmS3pL6k1B
I cut the call and this 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly27sobPSy
time, I ran down the stairs with a new found energy. I was tired from 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjcPhrcrQw
all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpyWZmUsuw
I reached the bottom of 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODiqXePj7L
the steps. I had reached the ground floor. There was a passage behind 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMveKqqsfZ
the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEixloNCMKF
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfLyumG8Vp
voices that I could recognise.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFr2UDU0SD
I went over to look, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRAnj3KrQv
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3ReC5ZYFL
Toxins and BigBang in the lobby heading out. They were going out for 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrhnar6Z0Z
lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could turn around and 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxTCraquGE
head for the back door, I ended up hearing their conversation.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6mYVuhRid
"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkWx2mpQnu
"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh1JGuzWf2
"I'm just surprised that969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR639RyZ3eD
you kissed my sister," said Mike. For some reason, I was surprised that969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw6Cwb9vQU
he wasn't upset like I thought he would.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkR7IV4Hvc
"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh8L4qPXqJ
"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5rCLV96c4
"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDk4czYX6E
"I think so too," said 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZxaAqA0Wr
Daniel. "But just in case, we would order her and the others a takeout. 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1RcXHzwkO
Sometimes Sam would starve herself without even realising it."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL9HBiYcD2
The next thing I knew, their voices became distant. I peeked again and I saw that they had already walked out of the lobby.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHN5JgMuJC
I was expecting them to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPvRSMGoSU
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P87ctOwrS
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPywOgvWu8
Who knows?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lOILGOIpK
Throwing that thought 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlUMaB3fUL
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgS8CbQLHc
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRPaAPnqTk
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bmIRscJNJ
There were still more 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkrxNii6WF
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjugGeorMI
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuVBAxjLW8
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzuEto9EhN
front and I knew the others were leaving until I heard the noise fade 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3GMln61eW
away.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxwvPq2Uh4
In what seemed like 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnrhBD3IW1
forever, Lee appeared around the corner of the building with her 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdG4fiOywm
handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9cDFGzkW3
"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7MaIg7ONL
"Don't act all grumpy on me," said Lee. "So as to let you know, finding what you wanted wasn't all that easy."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFge2GECkN
"Okay, thanks," I said as Lee gave me her bag and I gave her my crown and purse to hold. "Hold this."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz1cI9rP6x
"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeNin3y4Bh
"Seungri," I answered as I rummaged through the bag to get the items out.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTAUBfznWH
"This is so pretty. These diamonds look so real."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ggg86lr5P
"They are," I said as I put the blue baseball cap on.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk38QiIfRS1
"So sweet of him to do this," said Lee. She looked at me. "Are they all still inside?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQqAFVeEOP
"They have gone out for 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrFVSkGVv1
lunch. But Zoey and G-Dragon are talking in the studio. Hopefully things969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQcGqgAtHU
will work out okay. Though I highly doubt it will."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu6tr8c9IF
"Things are really bad, huh?" Lee asked with a sad expression on her face.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkfe7V9mE9
"Ya. And they are about 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iXjTgdrGE
to get a whole lot worse. Wish me luck." I put on the sunglasses and the969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2CfkzAs2v
light scarf around my neck. Lee gave me back my purse.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrLhf0HAjA
"Okay. Tell me how everything goes," said Lee. "Want me to escort you out of the gate?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmYkmuhuHE
"Ya, that will be a good969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzybQuKC7lT
idea," I said. "Leaving me alone would be dangerous and who knows what 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eHDgSd3vl
the guards might think when they see me."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWPKWmh8Jc
Lee and I started to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtXNnMknIe
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6xio72R9f
parking lot. As we were heading towards the gate, Lee started some 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXbbanbmbG
random conversation and I played along making sure not to look 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDXzoZXNm8
suspicious in front of the guards who didn't seem to be paying much 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWB92bvobr
attention. I made sure that they didn't notice my face.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNiCD6z6AH
When I finally managed 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY2E7pFpr8
to get out of the gate, Lee wished me luck. I nodded my head and walked 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkKt0FXBgA
away from the YG gate and down the street.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTMo3I5yI8
I had to admit, I was so969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ggykQOUOT
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWRWmP90Xh
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZj1Wac7RV
in the streets by myself. Going around alone was too dangerous for me 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzlj7qEEyD
and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tc70vyqcG
After walking a few 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSXIKenEb5
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskVedBiR2v
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s1ouRWoTc
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwufDkqZ3Ql
the road with a few people and got to the other side of the street.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd923TsRa3
As I walked, passing a shoe shop, I took my phone out from my purse and called the unknown man.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qe0eWEUOq
"Ah, you finally called," said the stranger who had answered after the first ring. "I've been waiting."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH8THY8Bq0
"Ya, I figured," I said, looking around hoping that no one noticed me but the cap hid my face969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNClutPBG4h
pretty well. "I've no idea where to meet you and I'm not so familiar with the place."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAWzZZUQjt
"Not to worry, dear. I already see you. Nice disguise by the way. I can hardly tell it is you under that baseball cap."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBtTdICMZD
I froze as I soon looked969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxAFLsXdpS
left and right and across the street hoping to see him. But I couldn't 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3L6o8486p
spot out any French native among the midst of Koreans. Feeling a little 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC5GmpZFHb
out of place, I figured I might just be the odd one around here too.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlMix8zgaK
I heard him laugh 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqish8tJ5ix
through the phone and I could tell he was making fun of me. "Not to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKltBMuX9x
worry, Sam. Be careful or you might just blow your cover."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaGMXArP7O
I gritted my teeth. "Just show yourself. Where are you?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXYdO5IVlr
"I'm right here."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYYJZyD6wl
"Right where?" I looked around and still nothing. People walked past me and I got frustrated. "Don't try play games with-"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiLu0Cyk8W
My sentence was cut 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pqttEZnlf
short when down the road, a fancy black shiny Bugatti parked at the edge969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQl5XtvMtL
of the concrete slab right in front of me. I looked on with my mouth 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJklpnSSLSQ
agape. I have always admired fancy cars but this was one hell of a ride.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvTvNtcffz
A smartly dressed 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXDnT5oAkd
looking chauffeur came out of the driver's seat and came to my side. 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLImBDnQE0
With his white gloved hand, he opened the door to the passenger's seat.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxRTWDxzk1
"You may go in, mademoiselle," said the driver in deep French accent, as he bowed.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS9UoLL7Vn
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.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQNjniSmxL
A few heads turned my 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w7udqCFGC
way and I could only imagine what people must think of a Bugatti and a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv58inMP2GR
smartly dressed chauffeur waiting for me to go in. Strange, I suppose 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcEaFYdabT
and a little suspicious too.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjl9rW3Yyq
I managed to awake from 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh6y3olNXk
my slumber and got in the car before people fully start to look at me 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4HHISN0Nu
and figure out who I was. As I got in, a nice car smell wafted in the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wUjjBdbRr
air and into my nostrils. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAjYG3cqvf
driver's seat.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjK5HsCzs0
"Samantha Glasson, nice to finally meet you at last," came a deep voice.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxIS02yvto
With my eyes, I looked 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJiBZHbmbE
at the person sitting right beside me in the passenger's seat. For a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2yUprl90I
moment, I was scared. But when I looked at the man fully, my face fell.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDCLiBLx2I
He looked to be in the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11uTp5tEXX
same age group as me but maybe two years older. I guessed in my head 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOGy8GsVSB
that he must be 24 or 25. He had gorgeous blue eyes like the colour of 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp3W5L843T
the sea and brown short curly hair. His dashing lips were lifted up into969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbfw2sZRwJ
a smile and under that navy blue suit of his, I could tell he was one 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko0bWLV9E3
who had one heck of a body.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllyW23DYN3
I hadn't said a word and969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ07OMqDz5W
the car started to drive down the road when the young man offered his 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYzr9PsgJf
open hand. I stared at it and noticed a shiny gold Rolex on his left 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJVxnAI3Z1
wrist. Who was this guy?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JBEFbuFoT
"Aren't we going to shake hands?" he asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIDMgvXyzG
I opened my mouth but 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrvQ9j02PY
then closed it again knowing that it was pointless to argue. I took his 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaMGGGGsDL
hand and shook it, scared that I might receive a shocking zap from the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPvWN2CROD
contact.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuOo9v2NZL
"And you must be the guy I was talking to over the phone?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L6dAdIuIJ
"Yes, a pleasure to meet969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMVhK1SzWH
your acquaintance." He lightly pressed his lips on the back of my palm 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcpJG3yMb6
and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5OxGuRQij
"I'm sorry we had to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PN1GDqXdi
meet under such awkward circumstances," he said as he leaned back in the969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2W3OfEXRl
fancy leathered seats. "But I needed to talk to you, and fast."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDfnxxSbrK
I looked at him and 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMQJ9OL2nv
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCwdCqjYPl
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITpcMzyATF
This guy right beside me looked like one of those handsome Greek gods we969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglxgiqt95b
hear about in mythical tales.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbAZPcVsCq
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with the corner of his lips raised up to a smile.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJumFcR6Ab
"I...uh." Yikes! I was 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxPOYFRPxb
caught looking at him. I blushed and turned to face the window beside 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMCrYz2Xtz
me. "Nothing. This wasn't what I was expecting."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX2Uxav6h5
There was silence and I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGonSyfdRm
didn't want to look at him. He was obviously looking at me and that made969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAVnLS8PtZ
me play around with my fingers because I was nervous. Then I realised 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mt7uwJAyj
something.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx2pg8GlBH
"You never told me your name," I said as I looked at him. Dang it! I wasn't supposed to look at him.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR67vKrjiU
"Oh, silly me. Where are my manners? I'm Derrick."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWjeyyuGJY
"That's a weird name, given that you're French."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Rn3idVB8
"I was born in the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUvFU4BzDG
States and my parents preferred giving me this name even though they are969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzSgCOtPvT
both French. I grew up in France almost my whole life and my parents 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjKX1MD9N2
are people who like to travel a lot for business. Building their 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fIT3NXTP0
business empire is what's so important to them."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2mvNmmSw3
"I can clearly see that," I said as I wondrously looked around in the car.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA09PduQGGc
My expression might have amused him because he chuckled. I blushed as I pushed my glasses further up my nose and folded my arms.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAABB1kjNnQ
"This is going to be fun," he said to himself.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KtZcn5tq7
I changed the topic. "About the photo, why did you want to see me?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFHr9h9o5c
"Can we talk about this over lunch?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9luJzHySU
"Lunch?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxQP1HzYKY
"Yes, lunch."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p4xIHmzv5
A moment ago, I wasn't in the mood for lunch. But now that he mentioned it, I was starving.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NZ89gSCgU
"Lunch sounds good. But not in the open. I don't want to grab any attention."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvLYsS4FXE
"Of course. I figured you would want that. Given that no one knows where you are anyway."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtghHUmvVE
I raised an eyebrow at 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwHdU8TLdm
him. "You've been following me the whole time, haven't you? That's how 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSprHoxj31B
you have been able to find me on the street."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsJuZDGwS4
He gave me that dashing 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qDTQMuWX1
smile of his. "Of course. I just had to. I knew sooner or later that we 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6T7K7vpl9
would meet. I had to come prepared."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdBRH7fAQE
"That's sounds creepy if you ask me," I said as looked out the window. "So, where are we going?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk0OfveCSE
"My apartment. It's much safer there."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPijK8zebP
"You own an apartment?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y3Sc5rwJd
"Like I said, my parents travel around for world and South Korea, is one of their favourite spots."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzQBcyeyLh
"So, it's their apartment then and not yours."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGRKJFXxB6
"They have their own apartment and I have mine."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCL443frVF
"Oh." I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuSxzoXv7z
"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdphJ4d9p6
It was a huge apartment 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIDI68FlZ7
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O5bcCCkYQ
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3zqopeJWm
After the car parked, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JsJGYhWqo
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsndQ4Esti
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJy59yofdC
car, Derrick held out his hand to help me out. I took his hand and I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3cUgwnJaZ
came out of the car.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTblCWvI8K
Derrick lead the way, 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbCWSuJNhb
still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MrNWejw48
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEry0QRBK4
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9cmfEh7Rv
Derrick pressed the elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXPLrPjU36
When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iOgMh48ZW
"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5krvBr1cC
"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzaZtdspox
"Everything," I said as I looked at him. "But one thing I don't get is why you're involving me in all this."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUApqLQDEl
"But don't you want to know what's going on?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mv9OAdqXg
"Well, ya, I do! You're 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljRIISbOAp
the one who sent me the photo so I'm curious. Do you know what? It was 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipyvCADP2x
best you didn't send it to me in the first place."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw8hXTfaMo
"Why?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJeVOGUToK
"Maybe then I wouldn't be here."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqUBN2iZZN
The elevator doors flew 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrJ5ePf0E5
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S5Xxf7Td7
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8VaTG33Rc
you were to see it for yourself, you would think you had just stepped 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOBgofba9E
into heaven.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGczXnGSrH
I stepped out of the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXu50Yw1bG
elevator and beautiful paintings lined up the walls. I noticed that the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoF2l9UwPW
doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOmQhpdoOF
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknfgeGm2HS
soft red carpet.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4onTxkxlv
"This place looks nice," I said as I walked down the hall.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8bbJ4cWd7
"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC3EQcsSem
I looked down the hall 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zuEFul2Ka
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXZcgsR0vM
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAYfHEHwTg
front of me stood a smartly dressed butler. It's like he knew I was 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEFspR5fnq
coming.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dh6S3ERSj
"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaiaeJb8Ys
For a moment, I hesitated. Until I felt Derrick behind me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmwAFvoVWM
"Ladies first," said Derrick.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCb1MUG2O1
I gulped and took a step into his apartment.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBScKBi2GG
"This place is very 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLL8XbS49E
nice," I said when I looked around the foyer and I when turned round the969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD2D0NmYDu
corner, there was lavishly looking sitting room with creamed coloured 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqILCl7p46
sofas with a glass coffee table and I huge smart screen TV pinned on the969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXvLgwv6S6
wall.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOLWLiJEpQ
I looked to the other 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPDC890auu
side and there was a fancy looking table with a beautuful chandelier 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNocVkWbTmn
above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGY3gTG0Tb
beautiful flower vases with orchids.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHqvWMWyj4
"I see you like 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFv1ppNrdI
orchids," I said as I went over to the flower vase close to the sitting 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZUxBpASQP
area and looked at the orchids. They were fresh and lovely.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxOvwVroPY
"I know you like roses," said Derrick as he stared at me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk0Y6OWCWR
"Almost everything that celebrities like and don't like are always found on the internet." I rolled my eyes at him.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa62cDuW3IM
"True, but I can tell what a woman likes and doesn't."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBbnVzkxZK
I gave him a smile that showed how impressed I was.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnqqcIch0R
"Lunch is ready, sir," said the butler. "Should I serve the food?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6roLSWbUY
"Yes, please," sad Derrick.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHZnDykX7q
The butler bowed and 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVFduvwRwy
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3C4F1sGWZ
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovNoQEYtVy
ground.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYgVhRWRuN
"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFHwllVG4k
"We are," said Derrick who came to join me by the window. "This place is lovely, isn't it?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEpKPNjObp
"Ya, it surly is." I knew he meant Seoul.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlbLKeF7IT
"Food is ready, Master Derrick," came the butler behind us.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTqHFx7xm7
"Shall we?" Derrick gestured his hand towards the dining table and I walked up to it with him following behind me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacMF0sWjyT
As we got to the dining 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthHOboABzy
table, Derrick pushed back a chair for me and I took my seat, removing 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiEK9VPKVv
my glasses and cap putting the glasses in my purse. I said thank you and969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NKf4BWi4a
he sat at the head of the table right next to mine.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVCRvTWYYe
The butler had served 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQui1Tz0XMC
our plates on the table and just by looking at the cutlery and napkins 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAZQfzPXxL
laid and folded neatly I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKfRP4iW7a
fancy fairytale. The table was set to perfection and the wine glasses 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvMcizytRs
next to the plates were spotless.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjAqr7QYRo
Dishes of food were 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1lNGl8Pt4
lined in the middle of the table and my mouth couldn't help but water. 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvdA0IhsPu
If I wasn't in such an elegant apartment, I would have just dug in and 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2K5HzmGw7
started to eat. I was really hungry. But for now, I had to act like a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLC0QSVD6q
lady.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqdJQvjqhS
The butler helped to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZLEkLCmn5
serve the food and I didn't hesitate eating right there and then. I made969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyPuxSGy0D
sure not to eat too much and take my time.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyuOrdsqG5
"This was really good," I said, after I was done with my food.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TqUzZu4bE
"France's finest traditional dishes," said Derrick with a smile.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlCPRUzjhD
"Now, about the issue at969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtOf9oTO3a
hand," I said, wiping the corner of my mouth with a napkin as the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoBzbu6E7R
butler came to take away my plate and also Derrick's.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX5QiWFate
"Let's talk then," said Derrick.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWu3NakCHs
"First of all, I need to know why you sent it to me."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwpTP5xtkO
"Because as much as you don't want to get involved, it concerns you more than you can ever imagine."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZuTVelNJH
I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX4WkO9Y82
"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3EbtPenF9
The photo showed Zoey in969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76MNHJtDdS
a some place that looked like a garden or a park and in front of her 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCiaDJkask
stood a man I couldn't recognise. His face was hidden because his back 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYFpD59LOP
faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUcUcAkxRZ
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLwwyy2N3k
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYjpI9L5QF
"I know this isn't 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiPDiySOy3
really supposed to concern me," I said as Derrick looked at the photo 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJlTMznOEU
and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0hJtqLFuz
"That's my brother," Derrick answered.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnoDNeC3yw
Now that was a surprise. Derrick had a brother?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSaFvjVpVD
"Wait? Brother?" I raised an eyebrow.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEDpP0NvYn
"Sadly, yes," said Derrick clearing his throat.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DXH4unFou
I looked at the photo 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukfqMbf5K0
again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt5bTLwGeh
Paris with G-Dragon and the others? And this person in the photo is your969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeIrBzE011
brother?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAuCitC1Gf
I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQDDuQAIeB
"You never told me you had a brother," I said, looking at Derrick.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ8bpTIAV5
"We don't really get along," said Derrick.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rZdSHfTqi
"That figures," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Why?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34eBIHjsKi
"We have been different from each other since we were kids. You can't even tell that he and I are brothers."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd5RsAl4Z3
"So, what's do you think he wants with Zoey?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauNTYXx1g0
"I have no idea but I know it's something serious."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxB7Bw80tC
"So, you're just assuming all this or what?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsqorL61D4
"I know my brother very 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp3zNdBmmu
well. I know something is going on between the two of them. I had my 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9epCYRlxkd
suspicions during the Chanel fashion show."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbeBHzaAm8
I then remembered the 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9V2pA9hbS
time Zoey came back to Korea the following day after the fashion show. 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pXVsJqzl1
She was acting all weird and the way she had hugged me surprised me a 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJXOV9gRv6
little. And so did the others. Were these guys really in trouble?969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmg7zC9c3w
"Are my brothers and Christine involved in this too?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy7oDOu6oe
"I can't be too sure. You have to ask them."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBxeWGbLVk
"But that's strange. If 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKDe7Wmrui
it's something so serious as you put it, they would have told me. I 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fsgj71kC7
don't see the reason why they would hide."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKeKXkFcpC
"If it's anything concerning my brother, I suggest you find out what's going on and fast. I don't like it."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsomkTKUzGV
"But what if all this isn't that serious? In fact, what makes you think your brother is that dangerous enough to hurt us?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWga37FpNF
Derrick leaned back on his chair as he looked at me and I waited for him to answer.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufw5RHGAbq
"My brother isn't one person to mess around with. He is one person who threatens when things don't go his way."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGMI4DaHHg
"You think he is threatening Zoey?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS67jvRYNa
"He did visit Zoey in that café, didn't he?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ5BOtLRRy
"Wait! That was him?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIREnQcRWz9
"Yes. I was there."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx7fIchPds
"You were there too?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h5adSANlI
"Yes. That's when I thought you should help me out with this."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsJtme5mTF
"But what if I can't?" I folded my arms969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyHpHqpiM7
"Zoey is your best friend, isn't she?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lOjKPc2JV
"She is."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuG4qwx7Oq
"And wouldn't you like to help her out?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXBJLupeeM
I was frustrated with the questions. "I would. But if she didn't tell me, then maybe it's not that serious."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0qGnPpnAj
"And do you really think she would?"969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKDXttN871
I thought about his 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn9gCUhb0T
question for a moment. He was right. Some people wouldn't tell the truth969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrqLN9Y5Wo
just to prevent the ones they love from getting hurt. Maybe that's what969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y2rTEhyjO
Zoey did and I was too silly not to have realised it sooner.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6PDI6Dx7c
"You're right," I said as I looked at my hands on my lap. She wasn't the only one who kept secrets.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM0KOZ32Ih
"Have you tried talking to your brother about this?" I asked.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJxr2BuYae
"No. He doesn't know that I'm onto him. And knowing how he is, he isn't going to tell me anything."969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG6hZycqgC
I tapped my fingers on the table and I took the glass of water that was next to me and I drank.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfHysn7TYv
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.969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTCEDQA5HB
"Before I go, tell me 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWO5CziqFI
all you know about what happened in Paris," I said as I looked at 969Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfW79uOF2K
Derrick, giving him the eye. "And don't leave anything out."
