Zoey's P.O.V:811Please respect copyright.PENANAhoYXuprHQc
I was still in the dance811Please respect copyright.PENANA7g1VVjZe0S
studio with my back on the floor and my face facing the ceiling. I took811Please respect copyright.PENANAP7Wh0dMPYW
a deep breath and let it out, trying to relax myself. But I couldn't. I811Please respect copyright.PENANAijb42v29ML
wondered how I got to this point with everything crumbling down to 811Please respect copyright.PENANAqqrCeTvdsN
pieces.811Please respect copyright.PENANAp70DEkW05K
G-Dragon had left me 811Please respect copyright.PENANAaHXKlqNdfi
alone to think after our talk. As much as it hurt talking to him, it 811Please respect copyright.PENANA1l8er8vOBi
wasn't as intense as the one he and Sam shared when they argued down the811Please respect copyright.PENANAtrYCvhySyB
hall earlier. I knew GD was trying to go calm and easy on me, which he 811Please respect copyright.PENANAuPhWfokwuK
did. But I was still hurting as hell.811Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zf6C7j8zs
It was now over between 811Please respect copyright.PENANAvMvXECJ9Zp
us. I knew I had it coming because I wasn't going to stay here in Korea 811Please respect copyright.PENANAMiFtQiaoju
for long. But I never knew it was all because G-Dragon really liked Sam.811Please respect copyright.PENANAYRifmkn9qf
That felt like a blow to my face.811Please respect copyright.PENANAO2J0jSTuCa
I was hurting, I was 811Please respect copyright.PENANANRudjqPMMI
pissed and angry. I should have known better that G-Dragon never had 811Please respect copyright.PENANA7fsmAGUB4M
eyes for me in the first place, but for Sam. Who I bet felt guilty and 811Please respect copyright.PENANAn0zF3RLteW
tried to tell me the truth earlier on this morning, but I never took her811Please respect copyright.PENANAY7HF6cXc6O
seriously. Come to think of it, I never do take her seriously. But she 811Please respect copyright.PENANAq0Dl4ezQr5
couldn't come to tell me that G-Dragon liked her because she knew 811Please respect copyright.PENANAKFH6LWQG1s
G-Dragon was supposed to tell me himself. No wonder she kept quiet. 811Please respect copyright.PENANAnp4aHMRv3p
Looks like her conscious took the better of her and told her not to.811Please respect copyright.PENANABnWWnUS5qt
I was glad that all of 811Please respect copyright.PENANAig3VcpjUbg
this was bought to light, but now, all of our group members know. And as811Please respect copyright.PENANAQm8t5a8QoM
for Daesung, I always knew he had eyes for Sam but the two of them 811Please respect copyright.PENANA6thcQVqrLM
accepted that they could never be together. That was pretty brave of 811Please respect copyright.PENANAjObColC5Ug
them if you ask me. I wish I could be a little more like Sam on learning811Please respect copyright.PENANAd66lWLGlXb
how to let go.811Please respect copyright.PENANAEG0OL0D32s
I sighed. But I couldn't811Please respect copyright.PENANAb1u2KbBgXV
let go of G-Dragon. He had something that other guys I have dated or 811Please respect copyright.PENANAQjpJBDkr5J
met in my life never had that drew me close to him. But looks like he 811Please respect copyright.PENANAunDh4mWJcd
wasn't mine to keep, nor Sam's.811Please respect copyright.PENANAofTmGsj7cp
I don't know what to 811Please respect copyright.PENANAIAu5WqE12h
think now that I know he had always liked Sam from the very beginning. I811Please respect copyright.PENANAP2iUBpl9BE
was angry at the both of them from keeping all of this from me, but I 811Please respect copyright.PENANA0zxNaSxo90
was also pretty mad at myself for playing the fool.811Please respect copyright.PENANAtbpDO8P5CP
What hurt me the most 811Please respect copyright.PENANAPYJnco0cQ7
was the kiss G-Dragon and I shared in Paris. Everything felt so real 811Please respect copyright.PENANAClsdyjE8P4
back then, but now, it was like a faded memory. When G-Dragon told me 811Please respect copyright.PENANAdV0p0fRI05
earlier that he had always liked Sam, I had asked him what our kiss in 811Please respect copyright.PENANAynPmcR8i8Y
Paris meant to him. He told me he did all that just to distract himself 811Please respect copyright.PENANANMG3PcFE1I
because Sam had pissed him off earlier. I know the two had argued a 811Please respect copyright.PENANAGGTpvwifPn
couple of times before, but I never knew it was that serious to the 811Please respect copyright.PENANA64Enshdcrh
extent that he had to use me as a distraction just to get his mind off 811Please respect copyright.PENANAMUEI6CWnPM
her. For some reason, I felt so used.811Please respect copyright.PENANAiyi3wDch9u
He did say he was sorry 811Please respect copyright.PENANA7PhK0pXNGg
and that he didn't want to hurt me. I couldn't stay mad at him. For some811Please respect copyright.PENANAAOkukQ0saN
reason, I just couldn't. But I was mad at Sam though. She should have 811Please respect copyright.PENANAXPlAQzuL25
told me what was going on. We were best friends for crying out loud.811Please respect copyright.PENANAbrGiole9NI
She had a lot of 811Please respect copyright.PENANAPHhseQa24h
explaining to do. That's if I get to cool down first. I still had a lot 811Please respect copyright.PENANAMVEF0v16lt
of things pending in my mind and I had to be really careful with what I 811Please respect copyright.PENANApDoUvyLd6h
was going to say to her.811Please respect copyright.PENANAtkRoKsbSFD
As I got up from the 811Please respect copyright.PENANAOnGadIbCjC
floor, the door to the studio flew open and Christine came in with what 811Please respect copyright.PENANABykE9PFL7S
looked like a lunch takeout in a plastic bag. I could tell by the look 811Please respect copyright.PENANABq0QBPSUZv
on her face that she was trying to figure out what words to say to me so811Please respect copyright.PENANAS4Pi6S6XnC
that I couldn't get mad any further.811Please respect copyright.PENANAizKZUlcKyE
"Hey, Zoey," said Christine as she closed the door behind her. "I brought you your lunch."811Please respect copyright.PENANA3IAfwWig28
I managed to put up a smile. "Thanks, Christine."811Please respect copyright.PENANAPZw7rta4o7
She walked up to me. "So, did you guys talk?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAKpH6uModGE
"Ya." I nodded my head. "We did."811Please respect copyright.PENANArSMKTN7NE8
"We saw G-Dragon earlier," said Christine. "The others are talking to him, so I came here to check up on you."811Please respect copyright.PENANApodhOIsY1N
"Thanks. I'm okay, but I just realised that I'm pretty hungry."811Please respect copyright.PENANAZcpWBMvPI5
"Here." Christine gave me my lunch and I sat down on the floor to eat. She sat also down, facing me.811Please respect copyright.PENANAGAfkVCqLyq
"So, how are things?" Christine asked.811Please respect copyright.PENANAIm59w4UarQ
"I don't know whether to say things are good or bad," I said as I bit a slice of pizza.811Please respect copyright.PENANAP4IaxgTuVs
"Looking at you, it's pretty bad. G-Dragon said it's over between the two of you."811Please respect copyright.PENANAetyvecL2wG
"Ya, it is. I was so stupid to think that we would last."811Please respect copyright.PENANABJLeotyEYS
"Come on, Zoey. I think 811Please respect copyright.PENANAE9LOq4Xx4S
it was pretty obvious. I mean, we weren't going to stay here for long. 811Please respect copyright.PENANA42xadNOxSh
And you know what Collins told us last time."811Please respect copyright.PENANANWeOJNuSCS
"I know. But I never knew it would be because of Sam." I bit another piece of pizza in my mouth.811Please respect copyright.PENANArwEYlu7ANo
Christine winced. "Sorry811Please respect copyright.PENANAOvTDwjiXO7
to break it to you, Zoey, but it was quite clear from the day we got 811Please respect copyright.PENANAAv6NRd5VmF
here that G-Dragon had eyes for her this whole time."811Please respect copyright.PENANADvrevOCYjK
I stopped chewing on my pizza and looked up at Christine.811Please respect copyright.PENANAc5BKpmepWz
"What? You knew about this and you never told me?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAAaj686Xn5D
Christine shrugged her 811Please respect copyright.PENANAW2Pl0Ls58D
shoulders. "You're the one with the eyes for these things, not me. 811Please respect copyright.PENANAQO4WrYOvHO
Sadly, you got too attached to G-Dragon that you couldn't even realise 811Please respect copyright.PENANA6v8HWSJz5D
it yourself."811Please respect copyright.PENANASNqKf88QwA
I chewed slowly as I 811Please respect copyright.PENANAcR2yub3N7z
thought of what she said. "I guess you're right. Is that the reason why 811Please respect copyright.PENANAGwCCMOaUBR
you said G-Dragon and Sam would have made a perfect couple during that 811Please respect copyright.PENANAI7zulXlpsL
interview?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAYL9NIysx01
"Well, ya. I thought by saying that, you would open your eyes for once. But that didn't work."811Please respect copyright.PENANAEZrROkzWgL
"Ya. And Daniel said the same thing too and I got mad at him for it. I still wish you could have told me though."811Please respect copyright.PENANACoyOZHgNBd
"So you could burst into an uproar and tear everyone's heads out? No way." She shook her head.811Please respect copyright.PENANAfBsoymiak2
"Look at me, Christine. I might be hurt but I'm still composed."811Please respect copyright.PENANAlVc6hGh2FD
"And what if Sam shows up? Wouldn't you be in an uproar then?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAsNEMxT4qbm
I had no words. Maybe 811Please respect copyright.PENANAc7guys1JxH
Christine was right. I don't know what I would do if Sam were to come 811Please respect copyright.PENANAP2IfhTTHsc
into the room. As much as I was pissed at G-Dragon, I was pretty furious811Please respect copyright.PENANACyShNP74b8
at Sam.811Please respect copyright.PENANAjUyRuhdV9b
"No, I wouldn't," I said, ignoring Christine.811Please respect copyright.PENANAEaH6MoSrdG
"Yes, you would. A lot 811Please respect copyright.PENANAntucij4IR2
of us know you too well, Zoey. And you're probably wondering what 811Please respect copyright.PENANAecW46fAY1T
G-Dragon saw in Sam that he couldn't see in you."811Please respect copyright.PENANA5szKpOgtgb
I got irritated now, 811Please respect copyright.PENANAF3nPOdif0z
knowing that Christine was right. "So what? That's not going to put me 811Please respect copyright.PENANA3eESryssLB
into a fit of a tantrum when I see her."811Please respect copyright.PENANAo0DHQlAeQ2
"It would, Zoey. And as 811Please respect copyright.PENANAOXBia8GS13
much as it's normal to think that way because you're hurt and pretty 811Please respect copyright.PENANAGlHtUtKgNO
much jealous, you also have to look at things through Sam's point of 811Please respect copyright.PENANACffZXOalzV
view."811Please respect copyright.PENANApmEikpJs9F
"Hey! I'm not jealous."811Please respect copyright.PENANAtr6u2NY5U4
Christine rolled her 811Please respect copyright.PENANAitwxGgFubA
eyes at me. "Whatever. But promise me you won't shout in Sam's face when811Please respect copyright.PENANAWZDoX3GXiH
you see her. I bet she feels really bad about this and I know she 811Please respect copyright.PENANAeOyxcjdJ7k
couldn't tell you because she didn't want you to get hurt."811Please respect copyright.PENANAOvo4UXyU0H
"Why are you saying that? Did she tell you that she already knew that G-Dragon liked her?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAgwJj7uk6J4
"No. But knowing her 811Please respect copyright.PENANA9detEqFaq9
character, she would do exactly that. You're her best friend and I know 811Please respect copyright.PENANAzZgsIQkmsm
she would do nothing to hurt you. It must be pretty bad for her too."811Please respect copyright.PENANAhCIDTKSMTT
"I know, but, I can't believe that G-Dragon fell for her and not me."811Please respect copyright.PENANAvZIZgAKjlL
"Here we go," said 811Please respect copyright.PENANAXVJyqbIdlF
Christine, throwing her hands in the air. "You really think all this is 811Please respect copyright.PENANATm83aL8iTi
about you? That all the nice guys are supposed to fall for you wherever 811Please respect copyright.PENANAPmqmnJQXiK
you go?"811Please respect copyright.PENANADps0fGdzvp
"No. It's just...."811Please respect copyright.PENANAtWp6grB5HE
"Don't say another word, Zoey. It's clear to see that you aren't concerned about Sam at all."811Please respect copyright.PENANAGnLE5Gi5EE
That hurt. And a lot too. "That's not true. Sam is my best friend. Yes, I'm mad because she didn't tell me what was going on."811Please respect copyright.PENANA89qMWa3x7Y
"Then you as her best 811Please respect copyright.PENANAFOHrI3KzQ3
friend should understand why she did that. You heard her down that hall 811Please respect copyright.PENANAG997dwuIrX
when she argued with G-Dragon about telling you the truth. It's because 811Please respect copyright.PENANAsYA2HIzl6v
she didn't want to see you hurt. She never does and she never will."811Please respect copyright.PENANA1BCyFTWHNk
I looked down on the 811Please respect copyright.PENANADo9tzhqdn6
floor feeling a little guilty. I know Sam and her character, and she was811Please respect copyright.PENANAWaZgWN7UTa
one who wouldn't like to hurt anyone. But I still couldn't help but 811Please respect copyright.PENANARIHmOkz9hn
feel mad.811Please respect copyright.PENANAEJrQ3NJanF
"Okay, okay. It's just that, this has never really happened to me before."811Please respect copyright.PENANA8J83KTjlcs
"That's because you 811Please respect copyright.PENANAqCWeKjNhyn
always think guys would fall for you all the time no matter what. It's 811Please respect copyright.PENANAL0zgL3sWqb
been like that since high school. You were the one whom all the boys 811Please respect copyright.PENANADinySFdtu6
admired and Sam was one who you never thought could ever make any guy 811Please respect copyright.PENANAsQxcOltkmj
fall for her, especially G-Dragon."811Please respect copyright.PENANA94LuLI74rc
"Mmmm. Maybe. It's not my fault that I attract so many guys."811Please respect copyright.PENANALrruvxpMzk
"Well, I hope what's happened will help you realise that not everything is all about you."811Please respect copyright.PENANAVgpPsU9sI3
I sighed. I had now lost my appetite after what she had said.811Please respect copyright.PENANATq1OtBa0zU
"I hope Sam is alright," said Christine. "Have you seen her?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAmZiTUavUQ4
"No, I thought she was with you guys," I said.811Please respect copyright.PENANA2LYk29FyLB
"She never came downstairs with us."811Please respect copyright.PENANAQKETkv0AwF
"She must be around here somewhere. She will show up when it's time for practise."811Please respect copyright.PENANAHsyzkM3bMd
"I hope so. Anyway we will be starting soon. Now remember. Don't get mad, okay?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAA6E1bSO2W1
"I'll try. I'm not promising anything."811Please respect copyright.PENANADFqaJN9w4z
The door flew open all 811Please respect copyright.PENANAovV5ALkZXg
of the sudden and thinking it was Sam, the guys came in the room. I felt811Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8xjbc25C1
a little relieved. But I looked away when G-Dragon came in. I still 811Please respect copyright.PENANAh2rMFqbRcA
wasn't ready to look at him yet.811Please respect copyright.PENANAKUhNnGTBcE
"Ummm, has anyone seen Sam?" Daniel asked, after looking around the room.811Please respect copyright.PENANAqlqlbUBwq1
"No, we haven't," said Christine getting up from the floor.811Please respect copyright.PENANAUmMe0fB8FT
"She must be around here somewhere," said Taeyang.811Please respect copyright.PENANANce6DJYHpD
"I bet she hasn't eaten lunch yet," said Mike. "I think I should go and look for her."811Please respect copyright.PENANAz2f4JYCzvR
"Why not call her?" I asked. "I bet she carried her phone."811Please respect copyright.PENANAW3Eo3gDeri
"Zoey," Christine looked at me with a frown on her face.811Please respect copyright.PENANApgFTq9ko1x
"What?" I looked up at her as I shrugged my shoulders.811Please respect copyright.PENANA5v3HD53W63
"Arrgh!" she growled in frustration and looked away.811Please respect copyright.PENANA67QNQQ9MXU
"Wow, girls, what's up?" Seungri asked with a surprised look on his face. "Don't tell me you two were arguing too?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAFNdXfh0Ddf
"No, just trying to convince some people around here about doing the right thing," said Christine as she looked down at me.811Please respect copyright.PENANAxyBdIcjbqF
I could have stuck out my tongue at her, but I didn't. I kept my cool and I continued to eat my pizza.811Please respect copyright.PENANAYCCB3M27i0
"Guys, we have a problem," said TOP.811Please respect copyright.PENANAGugHPDOyy9
We all turned to look at him and he was holding his phone in his hand. Had he been trying to call Sam?811Please respect copyright.PENANAfqwAml0tkw
"What is it?" G-Dragon asked.811Please respect copyright.PENANAc4mavXPge8
"Sam isn't picking my call," TOP answered. "It's ringing but she isn't picking up."811Please respect copyright.PENANANK7SJGtUtL
"Maybe she put her phone on silent," said Mike.811Please respect copyright.PENANA0I5CElvKlC
"Meaning we have to look for her then," said Taeyang.811Please respect copyright.PENANA3uwS8AelXn
"I'll look for her," said Daniel. "I bet she is at the recording studio."811Please respect copyright.PENANAuS7nN1nIqn
"I'm coming with you," said Daesung.811Please respect copyright.PENANACfaY0vw34T
"Count me in," said Mike.811Please respect copyright.PENANAHDC8VIB1AJ
Christine came beside me811Please respect copyright.PENANAMl0EFRRITN
and gave me a nudge on my leg with her foot. I looked up at her and she811Please respect copyright.PENANAOKi9bgmY1u
jerked her head towards the door. I knew she wanted me to go with them 811Please respect copyright.PENANADCg2PrdLYe
to look for Sam. I didn't want to snap at her so I just had to comply.811Please respect copyright.PENANAuPIeTnnMUj
"I'm also coming with you," I said as I stood up from the floor.811Please respect copyright.PENANAR6VomaRB4m
"Why don't we all go?" Christine asked.811Please respect copyright.PENANArScqbE3LgG
"Okay," said G-Dragon. "Let's just hope that the choreographer doesn't come here and find us missing."811Please respect copyright.PENANAC1hPNwpQCI
"Then someone should stay behind and explain what's going on," I said. "So, I'll stay."811Please respect copyright.PENANAVtLQamGc56
"No, we are all going," said Christine as she held my arm. "If we're going to get in trouble together then we all will."811Please respect copyright.PENANAAPy7j12FjX
I sighed as I rolled my eyes. "Fine."811Please respect copyright.PENANAf6tqhdS5fK
"Let's go up to the recording studio," said TOP. "I'll continue to call Sam and check if she is okay."811Please respect copyright.PENANA02yV3VARBH
Daesung opened the door 811Please respect copyright.PENANAXUkww5xUSx
and went out of the room first and we all followed. I seriously wasn't 811Please respect copyright.PENANAX2H623yg9l
in the mood to go and start looking for Sam. If anything, I should be 811Please respect copyright.PENANADCmQ4Aztyb
given more time to think and try to calm down. But I couldn't help but 811Please respect copyright.PENANA1d465pC3ac
worry about her whereabouts too.811Please respect copyright.PENANA4ueHs8LleX
We all went upstairs and811Please respect copyright.PENANAXR2OU0yBVP
checked every recording room. There was still no sign of her. And TOP 811Please respect copyright.PENANAboomlVbUil
had tried calling but she still wasn't picking up.811Please respect copyright.PENANAzBJJOVEibK
When we came to the 811Please respect copyright.PENANAFbx8hxol04
second last studio room down the hall, we found Sam settled on the 811Please respect copyright.PENANAJCYmS6NH1w
couch. She seemed to be busy because she was bended over a small table 811Please respect copyright.PENANAaYFmDKq1HK
in front of her, with a pen in her hand and was scribbling something on a811Please respect copyright.PENANAd7baFr31no
sheet of paper.811Please respect copyright.PENANAN7LEc1OZpG
"Sam," Mike called out to her as he rushed into the room.811Please respect copyright.PENANAKALPTTWn01
Sam quickly looked up. 811Please respect copyright.PENANAmNLhdAkts2
Telling on the look on her face, she was pretty preoccupied, as always. I811Please respect copyright.PENANAIOxGQoXdbF
wondered what she was writing. Hopefully not a run away letter saying 811Please respect copyright.PENANAYMubs52WgP
that she will leave the group because of what she has done.811Please respect copyright.PENANA468NwsKzlR
We all came in the room 811Please respect copyright.PENANAeAbyk6cJ3W
and to be honest, I didn't want to be here. I could tell that G-Dragon 811Please respect copyright.PENANAW3L0ax7gca
also felt the same. I looked at him and he seemed pretty uncomfortable.811Please respect copyright.PENANArxUeXrLwWQ
"May I ask what you're doing here?" Daniel asked Sam.811Please respect copyright.PENANAewzSnsDOSc
"I...I was just...." Sam811Please respect copyright.PENANAZc2NAf4L8v
looked down at the paper she was scribbling on and then up at her 811Please respect copyright.PENANA7lifbrsgZy
brothers. "I just needed to be alone for a while. That's why I came 811Please respect copyright.PENANA9dFdAaOzhz
here."811Please respect copyright.PENANAwrrutuTCcz
"But are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You weren't picking up your phone."811Please respect copyright.PENANADKAyvcInle
"I put it on silent," said Sam, as she scratched her head. "Sorry if I worried you."811Please respect copyright.PENANAfBCsq58P2v
"Apologising isn't one of your best traits, Sam," I blurted out without thinking. "I'm surprised you're doing so now."811Please respect copyright.PENANAnytMcQ3OrC
Everyone turned to look 811Please respect copyright.PENANAHoFSVMkN6B
at me and I could tell they were shocked with what I said. But I didn't 811Please respect copyright.PENANAXXSk94D7ks
care. I had my hands on my hips to show how mad I was.811Please respect copyright.PENANANG5qa4e1DQ
"Zoey," Sam stood up from the couch and I could tell she was sorry just by looking in her eyes. "We need to talk."811Please respect copyright.PENANAwYiF2RcsIv
"There is nothing to talk about, Sam. G-Dragon told me everything and I don't need to listen to you."811Please respect copyright.PENANA5efSlnfCmd
"Zoey!" Christine interfered.811Please respect copyright.PENANAOkNc9TxTvD
"Let me talk, Christine," I said, holding my hand up to Christine to stop her from talking.811Please respect copyright.PENANApA4tDPPpdL
"Zoey, I know you're mad at me. But I didn't want it to go down like this," said Sam.811Please respect copyright.PENANAzh4huz0cgz
"Well, it's a little too811Please respect copyright.PENANA1fUV01kUwy
late for that, isn't it? Why didn't you tell me all this before? And 811Please respect copyright.PENANABhPmK247hX
don't try to say you were only doing it so that I wouldn't get hurt."811Please respect copyright.PENANALF5DPE3ksj
Sam opened her mouth but811Please respect copyright.PENANAxY8XP78LNn
closed it again. I could see tears well up in her eyes. If she thought 811Please respect copyright.PENANAOWNLlC7njs
crying would make me forgive her, she was dead wrong. I was a little 811Please respect copyright.PENANAgpVaYit9YK
surprised when no tear fell down her cheek.811Please respect copyright.PENANAFL1KW3WsDM
"I'm sorry, Zoey," she said. "But what else could I tell you?"811Please respect copyright.PENANA7e4hQn7DXM
"Why you stole G-Dragon from me!"811Please respect copyright.PENANA8qx1Pl1n0s
"I didn't steal him from you, Zoey."811Please respect copyright.PENANANmo2yt5kO7
"Now you're just talking nonsense," said Christine.811Please respect copyright.PENANAAHfaEArEt6
"Shut up, Christine!" I snapped at her.811Please respect copyright.PENANAThABAD6hsM
"The drama queen must have hit her head or something," Daniel said, shaking his head.811Please respect copyright.PENANAY4jPiHu7ww
"I didn't hit my head," I said as I turned to look at Daniel.811Please respect copyright.PENANA8QHsB1unsp
"You're acting like you have," said G-Dragon. "What's wrong with you?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAYhH38slvgv
I turned to look at G-Dragon and I couldn't believe that he was also calling me crazy.811Please respect copyright.PENANAwC56dMZ5tS
"This is unbelievable," I said as I rubbed my forehead. "Now I'm the crazy one."811Please respect copyright.PENANAIXIaoIO3u0
"Zoey, please calm down," said Seungri. "This isn't good for you or for anyone else."811Please respect copyright.PENANAsOKSlPITfM
I took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling. Then I went back to looking at Sam.811Please respect copyright.PENANAciJcoWUD8T
"If you've a better explanation to all this, I'll be in the dance studio."811Please respect copyright.PENANAEml0VnbZpN
I turned around and went out of the room, banging the door loudly behind me.811Please respect copyright.PENANAf8uiML23AX
***811Please respect copyright.PENANAi3SZTDWCPE
811Please respect copyright.PENANAhrP1VELMKZ
Sam's P.O.V:811Please respect copyright.PENANAx8BqwcdJSD
I winced when the door 811Please respect copyright.PENANAgwyyLaYI90
banged shut in front of me. I knew Zoey was going to be furious. And 811Please respect copyright.PENANAzMF8uhYO66
trying to cool her down was going to be difficult. I had to work on a 811Please respect copyright.PENANAVmoYcjmo8y
different approach to get to her.811Please respect copyright.PENANA7g5tdibonU
I looked at the others 811Please respect copyright.PENANAX9zq67Q07u
in front of me and they were silent. Looks like they were pretty much 811Please respect copyright.PENANAZvGtQijXqz
ready for Zoey's outburst than I was.811Please respect copyright.PENANAKAGmYcPnKq
"We better get going, the choreographer will be back any moment," said TOP.811Please respect copyright.PENANABTYjjruluL
"Are you crazy?" Mike 811Please respect copyright.PENANAbarJOnK83r
asked as he turned to look at TOP. "I'm not going in that room if Zoey 811Please respect copyright.PENANALyjcFMT6yg
is going to continue acting like a lunatic."811Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rln876K5x
"Mike's right," said Daesung. "Maybe we should just cancel practise today, for things to settle down."811Please respect copyright.PENANAZw5BfjdYPX
"As much as that is a good idea, you heard what the managers said," said Taeyang. "We've to work on the music video on Monday."811Please respect copyright.PENANAGBjZW7bUBp
"We have to come up with811Please respect copyright.PENANALbuiRObkI5
something then," said Christine. "Because just as Mike said, dancing 811Please respect copyright.PENANAkWNAXeC1i0
with Zoey is going to be dangerous. The next thing we know, we would all811Please respect copyright.PENANAYGtUB9QFXV
be landing on our faces in that studio."811Please respect copyright.PENANApUxUH7LsmT
"I agree," said Seungri. "Does anyone have any plans?"811Please respect copyright.PENANA3N5gDMCTQK
"I can pretend I sprain my ankle," said Daniel. "That will give us enough time for things to settle."811Please respect copyright.PENANAJvWk0KOVPu
"No, they will bring in a medical examiner and make things worse," said Taeyang.811Please respect copyright.PENANAJd22Y9FtSX
"Okay, this is tough," said Christine, as she started to pace up and down.811Please respect copyright.PENANAbev5GeiY4q
"We wouldn't be going through all this if it wasn't for you, Sam," said G-Dragon.811Please respect copyright.PENANA4UzbIJe9MB
Everyone, including me turned to look at G-Dragon who was standing further away from us at the door.811Please respect copyright.PENANA5xuDHRXlnU
"What did I do?" I 811Please respect copyright.PENANAkIlTeqvyFq
asked. "If you mean telling Zoey the truth, that's supposed to rest on 811Please respect copyright.PENANAYqD2Hi8Ui7
your shoulders and not just mine alone."811Please respect copyright.PENANAieWq9oi0nj
"But I did tell you that I would handle it, didn't I?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAVA3mYSHdUQ
"Whether you told her 811Please respect copyright.PENANAYXAbppztmI
the truth later on, the fact is she was still going to get mad. You guys811Please respect copyright.PENANArFM6h0NnFW
talked a while ago, didn't you? How was that handling things? She is 811Please respect copyright.PENANAP15Eg7m7Mi
still furious and mostly at me."811Please respect copyright.PENANA3BbZJKfC4e
"GD, I think Sam is 811Please respect copyright.PENANAU5YmCiISwV
right," said Seungri. "Zoey is one who gets pretty emotional and even if811Please respect copyright.PENANAiUf3SaX7ir
you told her the truth much later, she was still going to get pissed 811Please respect copyright.PENANAEEfqXiHK2t
like she is now."811Please respect copyright.PENANAjBmZvOJzRU
"And she would throw 811Please respect copyright.PENANAaopX8kzsUC
stuff at us," said Mike. "Trust me, right now, Zoey isn't as mad as you 811Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2BcUpkH1D
would expect her to be or else she would have done exactly that. The 811Please respect copyright.PENANAcp62YoxiJK
throwing stuff at us thing."811Please respect copyright.PENANAcq6zqVanOz
"Look GD, if you're 811Please respect copyright.PENANAjyK6K8mS8c
finding a way to blame me for all this, I agree with you," I said. "But 811Please respect copyright.PENANAeZAjM4lElX
now isn't the time to start blaming each other. It isn't going to work."811Please respect copyright.PENANAnTxW77012l
"Then what will?" G-Dragon asked. "You know pretty well that we all can't calm Zoey down because of you."811Please respect copyright.PENANAFCWilRo2j1
"Here we go again with 811Please respect copyright.PENANAcXkoR49nEE
the blaming," I said as I raised my hands in the air in frustration. I 811Please respect copyright.PENANAMRTUZBPOGL
turned away from him and tried to think of what to say next.811Please respect copyright.PENANADh8kVO2wtJ
"Do you know what?" I said as I faced him again. "I give up."811Please respect copyright.PENANAIni5pbIDsV
The room was silent when everyone turned to look at the me.811Please respect copyright.PENANAqn54jdgFTg
"What?" G-Dragon asked.811Please respect copyright.PENANAf9CgW2Fr4u
"I give up," I repeated.811Please respect copyright.PENANAKefPNp4pPP
"If I really wanted to, GD, I would have told Zoey a long time ago 811Please respect copyright.PENANAyD1U4a4isS
about this even before you went to Paris but I didn't because I wasn't 811Please respect copyright.PENANA954xbMlA82
too sure. The biggest mistake you made was leading her on and that gave 811Please respect copyright.PENANAbB51UYjRiM
her hope that your relationship would work. You and I should both be 811Please respect copyright.PENANAOYH7hfM5W7
blamed for what's happened to Zoey. I didn't tell her the truth and 811Please respect copyright.PENANACD8HfqKYe3
that's also my biggest mistake."811Please respect copyright.PENANAnrecBzFc2E
The air in the room 811Please respect copyright.PENANALwneWcGHwM
became stale and I bet everyone else noticed it too. No one said a word.811Please respect copyright.PENANAnkNkSn1QMa
This time it was G-Dragon and I holding the floor.811Please respect copyright.PENANADjiGtteOjs
"I give up," I said as I continued to look at G-Dragon. "Blame me all you want. It isn't going to be the first time now, is it?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAafCgItKdhL
The others looked at me 811Please respect copyright.PENANAEupVewZE37
then back at G-Dragon waiting for him to say something. But he didn't. 811Please respect copyright.PENANADu8KJTYkes
He continued to look at me and I knew I hit the nail on the head this 811Please respect copyright.PENANAQgWjzxpOaL
time. I could tell in his eyes that he was furious.811Please respect copyright.PENANABQN4L1WaoC
Without a word, he 811Please respect copyright.PENANA78r0GU7XaQ
turned around and opened the door. Upon opening it, there stood Lee. She811Please respect copyright.PENANAzBDMtwNVbi
stepped aside for G-Dragon to pass and without a care in the world, he 811Please respect copyright.PENANA1R4Z2o8szV
walked past her. Lee continued to look at him as he went done the hall, 811Please respect copyright.PENANASnjclxmzqs
then she came in.811Please respect copyright.PENANAZLzz2O8XlM
"Sorry for coming in at such an awkward time," said Lee. "But I have some news that I think will be helpful."811Please respect copyright.PENANAaPYPN80GUf
"What is it?" Daesung asked.811Please respect copyright.PENANAYeofXvf8LZ
"The choreographer won't811Please respect copyright.PENANAyW1MTKLWEL
be able to come after lunch. He has some personal things to attend to, 811Please respect copyright.PENANAXwNufwhxaD
so, practise will resume on Monday."811Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ5DHrkaDu
"Phew! Thank goodness," said Christine.811Please respect copyright.PENANA36hDTDhCEm
"Well, given what's going on, you will need it," said Lee.811Please respect copyright.PENANAZuVsyPOlHW
"You haven't told our managers, have you?" Taeyang asked.811Please respect copyright.PENANA8ycDlShr2h
"No, that will just make things worse."811Please respect copyright.PENANA8XkgMcuq85
"Well, I'm glad," I said. "Maybe we can work things out with Zoey and G-Dragon."811Please respect copyright.PENANA9d2aPpEbRv
"I'll handle GD," said TOP. "You will handle Zoey."811Please respect copyright.PENANAaabqWLjh0d
"Christine and Sam will do it. Count me out," said Mike. "I would rather talk to G-Dragon than the drama queen."811Please respect copyright.PENANA5g4Vm5Uaci
"Hey, we might need you 811Please respect copyright.PENANA7XVcoXfSCW
with, Zoey," said Christine. "Just like Collins, you also know how to 811Please respect copyright.PENANAfFftUCXmHc
put her down. You're quite good at it."811Please respect copyright.PENANAgeKBvWMawc
"Thanks for the compliment, but I'm sticking to my word."811Please respect copyright.PENANAHSgU1rU1Kx
"Mike might make things worse," said Daniel. "Maybe it's best if he stays out of it."811Please respect copyright.PENANArz8blj93mh
"Hopefully, by Monday, everything is going to be okay," said Taeyang.811Please respect copyright.PENANAbAY0eMivpw
"Hopefully," I said. I sighed. "Look guys, I'm sorry."811Please respect copyright.PENANAKWeBuvVfhG
"For what?" TOP asked.811Please respect copyright.PENANAQcitSbAzmT
"For this whole mess. I shouldn't have kept all this from you."811Please respect copyright.PENANAe9lefCuEDr
"Sam," Christine walked 811Please respect copyright.PENANARKs7SDQGVx
up to me and placed her arm around my shoulder. "I understand why you 811Please respect copyright.PENANAqGkEEv8iFI
did it and if you ask me, it's not really your fault. You were just 811Please respect copyright.PENANA7FKUVwvyoi
doing what you thought was right."811Please respect copyright.PENANAoRataSbAH2
"I also agree with Christine," said Daniel. "You shouldn't beat yourself up because of this. We're in this together now."811Please respect copyright.PENANA3i16Ff5YTv
"Yes, we all are in this with you," said Daesung, giving me an encouraging smile.811Please respect copyright.PENANALD8sriJLGm
"Then its best we go back to the hotel then," said Mike.811Please respect copyright.PENANAeGJrDeBjkF
"Let's go," said Lee.811Please respect copyright.PENANATE0cKJ5Jvq
"Then we will meet on Monday," said Taeyang.811Please respect copyright.PENANAyJtUI6WDnT
"Tell me how everything goes with G-Dragon," I said.811Please respect copyright.PENANAlsSghIRmd3
"We will," said TOP as he walked up to me. "Now, stop sulking and smile for me, everything will be alright. You'll see."811Please respect copyright.PENANAldpHIFYR9y
I only managed to smile at him and nodded my head. "Yes, I'll."811Please respect copyright.PENANA4cXOB9uVLB
As the others started to811Please respect copyright.PENANA567VqbLI5R
leave the room one by one, I got the sheet of paper I was writing on, 811Please respect copyright.PENANAOoijR8wYah
folded it and put it away in my purse.811Please respect copyright.PENANAT4bIWtQe2L
"What were you writing on that thing?" Christine asked, as her eyes were on the folded paper as I put it away.811Please respect copyright.PENANANN9tRK1S9M
"You'll know soon enough," I said, with a sad smile.811Please respect copyright.PENANAHWIov076xF
"Come, we better get going," said Lee after the BigBang members had left.811Please respect copyright.PENANAkabV1zICLU
"Can you guys go ahead? I would like to talk to Zoey."811Please respect copyright.PENANAdPV3VhDKZc
"Don't you want us to come with you?" Christine asked.811Please respect copyright.PENANAAcPEKBBk67
"No, I want to see if I can manage to talk to her on my own."811Please respect copyright.PENANAvbME50lLnL
Christine nodded her head and I could tell she was worried about what was going to happen. "If you say so."811Please respect copyright.PENANAu9Q2r22whv
"We will be waiting for you downstairs," said Lee.811Please respect copyright.PENANAd0TvLpBxs0
We came out of the 811Please respect copyright.PENANA6CyhgNr5tN
studio and the others went to use the elevator to head downstairs while I811Please respect copyright.PENANAEotYD7WbF6
used the stairs to head to the dance studio.811Please respect copyright.PENANA294ZXbwxAq
I thought of what I was 811Please respect copyright.PENANAAweLlOEpcJ
going to say as I walked down the hall. I was pretty scared and I was 811Please respect copyright.PENANATUaCwBO8DQ
afraid that if Zoey saw me, she would pounce on me and try to scratch my811Please respect copyright.PENANAhzrAmqDp7B
eyes out.811Please respect copyright.PENANAKLbFTfkgbR
When I reached the room 811Please respect copyright.PENANAYq4bVlIWI2
we had been using for practice earlier, I froze by the door. I was 811Please respect copyright.PENANA6dF7FEPMAP
afraid of touching the door handle, thinking that I would get burnt.811Please respect copyright.PENANArw9FAgUtTI
Maybe this was a bad 811Please respect copyright.PENANASIP2kt4g25
idea and going in there was like stepping into the lion's den. I wanted 811Please respect copyright.PENANAqsC8BxJFr1
to turn around and bail, but my body and my conscious wasn't allowing me811Please respect copyright.PENANAE5OQphiKEd
to. I felt caught in between two worlds.811Please respect copyright.PENANAfGz1yG21PW
My body and conscious 811Please respect copyright.PENANArb2E8PrIT2
won this time around. My hand was reaching for the handle and when I 811Please respect copyright.PENANAWoYv8zq6UE
held it, I turned it and slowly pushed the door open.811Please respect copyright.PENANAV4Z93nPdSx
"Are you kidding me right now?" came Zoey's voice in the room. "I can't do that. It's going to be risky."811Please respect copyright.PENANACGh39ML6y9
I paused before I could 811Please respect copyright.PENANA2CHI63RUya
fully open the door. Who was Zoey talking to? My eyes grew wide. Was it 811Please respect copyright.PENANAokYKVvqRea
who I think it was? Derrick's brother?811Please respect copyright.PENANAnllpzoYN1t
"Look, calm down, okay? This is clearly not the time to talk right now."811Please respect copyright.PENANA8naObnNClx
I continued to listen. Maybe I can find out what was going on between the two of them.811Please respect copyright.PENANALm4wwpUVyZ
"Just so you know, I'm also not in a good mood!"811Please respect copyright.PENANAXu5JeXntcu
I winced at the sound of811Please respect copyright.PENANAmhoEFdTfLX
her voice. She wasn't in a good mood indeed. I still had time to get 811Please respect copyright.PENANA7JiOkdSqCf
out of here, but I was rooted at the door.811Please respect copyright.PENANAGLMtfVzx1m
"Okay, fine. We will 811Please respect copyright.PENANAPdqQFVAyjI
meet, soon. I'll tell you when. I can't meet you now. Things back here 811Please respect copyright.PENANAmN5nXtalPG
just got complicated and it will be strange if I disappear like I did 811Please respect copyright.PENANADEoTkftx4H
last time."811Please respect copyright.PENANA42q4fdd6qI
I wanted to sigh in frustration. She didn't give out any clue as to what the two were up to. What a bummer.811Please respect copyright.PENANAIx8ax0yZvj
"I'll see you soon. Don't worry, I have it safe and sound with me and I'll deliver it to you as promised."811Please respect copyright.PENANAaPmbIUUU5r
Now that was one thing I considered a clue. She had something with her. Could it be in our room, hidden somewhere? I hope so.811Please respect copyright.PENANAzsUPhGoNFs
I heard Zoey say bye and hang up on her phone. I heard her sigh in frustration and mutter something to herself.811Please respect copyright.PENANA20DIO7Y2Ma
This was my cue. I 811Please respect copyright.PENANA521VDesvxx
waited for a good thirty seconds till I fully opened the door. I stepped811Please respect copyright.PENANAZMzPFIsZet
into the room and Zoey looked up at me from her phone.811Please respect copyright.PENANAMSr79zm9P8
"We won't be having practise," I said as I approached her.811Please respect copyright.PENANAeYSAnxzGPD
"Why? Did you tell our managers what's really been going on?" Zoey asked as she folded her arms.811Please respect copyright.PENANA9cH7dwpcjm
"No, it's not that," I said. "You know none of us could do that."811Please respect copyright.PENANA05edleG4oe
"Given what you've done so far, I wouldn't be surprised."811Please respect copyright.PENANAY6aqqcY8HR
"What have I done so far?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAJMopOdDbd4
"Lied to me and everyone else."811Please respect copyright.PENANAt5SpL6aH6Z
"I know I lied to you and I should have told you about G-Dragon earlier. I had tried to tell this morning but I couldn't."811Please respect copyright.PENANARtqVLQwHuh
"You knew that G-Dragon liked you and you didn't even tell me about it."811Please respect copyright.PENANA5sBtOmpuup
"What did you want me to811Please respect copyright.PENANAvLERxy9xxt
do? I knew you liked G-Dragon but I didn't know all this between you 811Please respect copyright.PENANAPYyCBUck9S
two was going to get serious. When you told me that you two had kissed, I811Please respect copyright.PENANAgiEeF0H2xL
wasn't too sure by then if G-Dragon even liked me."811Please respect copyright.PENANA7dgs5Xrtxd
"You didn't want to tell me because you wanted him to yourself."811Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q8GrpQVpw
I sighed. "Come on, Zoey. That makes no sense. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you."811Please respect copyright.PENANA4aXK4QIQVl
"You just did."811Please respect copyright.PENANASQaJeIIHUW
"Won't you just listen to me? Please! Why would I want G-Dragon when I really like Daesung? You think about it."811Please respect copyright.PENANAtonf1mhcgz
"I don't have to, Sam. 811Please respect copyright.PENANAfwDNyw05Cv
You can't make me to. I considered you my best friend and if you really 811Please respect copyright.PENANAUNd4kAzATQ
didn't want to hurt me like you said, you would have told me all this 811Please respect copyright.PENANAFkojYh6WE1
before."811Please respect copyright.PENANAXf6zIN5q3d
I looked down at my feet811Please respect copyright.PENANAVhnSbQI4Ql
and I knew she was right. I had hurt her a lot and now she thought of 811Please respect copyright.PENANAfLazVeLf7V
as me as someone who just stole her boyfriend.811Please respect copyright.PENANAvmcLDcmLQW
"Look, whether you like 811Please respect copyright.PENANAZLV1Nx3mQ6
G-Dragon or G-Dragon likes me or I like Daesung, all this wasn't going 811Please respect copyright.PENANAUjmd4lylb9
to last and you know it. You remember Collins' golden rule. And as much 811Please respect copyright.PENANANdys3hu0wJ
as it's a little harsh on our part, it very much shows that creating a 811Please respect copyright.PENANAfYWF3My3Yn
real love story wasn't going to be possible. I might be wrong, but you 811Please respect copyright.PENANAGNPmYXTXR0
know that I'm right. Sooner or later, we will head back home and I for 811Please respect copyright.PENANAqQGCHqcaBF
one don't really believe in long distance relationships."811Please respect copyright.PENANArXibauSlP6
"But it would have worked out for G-Dragon and I," said Zoey, tapping her foot on the floor impatiently.811Please respect copyright.PENANAsr6setZ4he
"No, it wouldn't, Zoey. Not when he likes someone else."811Please respect copyright.PENANAwkfHs0Nt0V
"You, right?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAi6SE5LRFQS
I didn't want to admit it, so I kept quiet.811Please respect copyright.PENANAalaNXiEHTy
Zoey nodded her head and811Please respect copyright.PENANA68mgAOQ8rc
I could see tears in her eyes. "I see you're right on that one, Sam. 811Please respect copyright.PENANALeCqj831F6
All this wasn't going to work out. And it's all thanks to you."811Please respect copyright.PENANAGnjPwYIUmy
I was shaken by her last811Please respect copyright.PENANAAxe8fbCnky
sentence. Great! Just when I thought I was finally getting to her, I 811Please respect copyright.PENANAGXn3C2m7E7
was being blamed. Again! I sighed. This cannot be happening.811Please respect copyright.PENANAGxgT8FyzBe
"That's not true, Zoey," I said.811Please respect copyright.PENANAsPuVWCEKlF
"You made G-Dragon fall in love with you. So it's your fault, isn't it?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAAE32ePrgoD
"We don't choose who we fall in love with."811Please respect copyright.PENANAs20kxEpG01
Zoey didn't say a word 811Please respect copyright.PENANAUBAwqxHnKS
as she quickly walked past me and bumped into my shoulder as she passed 811Please respect copyright.PENANAUNTbmssg24
and went out the door. That hurt and I was hugely disappointed that I 811Please respect copyright.PENANAZsGu50OZDl
couldn't get to Zoey to forgive me.811Please respect copyright.PENANAUZqOAAW8a3
But now more than ever, 811Please respect copyright.PENANAVbBpYvG5iZ
she was in trouble and I had to help her out. I couldn't abandon her 811Please respect copyright.PENANAFNgVayusHt
now. Dealing with Derrick's brother in a broken state she was in, might 811Please respect copyright.PENANAYMTk0SK9aQ
just lead to something fatal. And I couldn't let that happen.811Please respect copyright.PENANAljxP2sT6S7
As I came out of the studio, I pulled out my phone from my purse and called Derrick.811Please respect copyright.PENANANN9GAxXbd7
"I wasn't expecting a call from you," said Derrick when he picked up. He sounded calm and that soothed me a little.811Please respect copyright.PENANAlDOcmuhMuS
"I called because I heard Zoey talk to your brother over the phone," I said.811Please respect copyright.PENANAyCtIGeDG2Z
"Really? Any idea what might be going on?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAzLIoXbDY4f
"No, but I think Zoey is keeping something for him and is planning on giving it to him."811Please respect copyright.PENANAFeZcvaOo3B
"When?"811Please respect copyright.PENANA5FwJQhUL3s
"She didn't say. She told him she would meet with him when everything around here cools down."811Please respect copyright.PENANAKWzBt5Sl3P
"Why? What happened?"811Please respect copyright.PENANAgIGndjPyAC
I signed as I turned 811Please respect copyright.PENANAB7j5QpSkjm
round the corner to use the stairs. "She and I had some argument. I'll 811Please respect copyright.PENANA3Hbp9OT5zf
tell you about it later. For now, I'll have to keep an eye on her."811Please respect copyright.PENANAyUeVnz5XeD
"Ya, you do that," said 811Please respect copyright.PENANACmklRdwA9m
Derrick. I knew he was trying to avoid asking further questions about 811Please respect copyright.PENANABB8tty1wJt
the argument. "I'll see what I can dig up about my brother's recent 811Please respect copyright.PENANAmGZQ3MWaB1
activities and see what I can find."811Please respect copyright.PENANAxMJZlgtbtN
"Okay. I'll keep in touch."811Please respect copyright.PENANAfX3j2D07fo
"Okay, all the best."811Please respect copyright.PENANAzvwuhA650e
"Thanks. I'll need it."811Please respect copyright.PENANAS2C42G77Tg
I cut the line and I had811Please respect copyright.PENANAsXv2bmRoyC
reached the bottom of the stairs. I found myself in the lobby and I 811Please respect copyright.PENANAdxmXgo2LsM
went out to the SUV waiting outside.811Please respect copyright.PENANA1QftxWfb5q
The others were already 811Please respect copyright.PENANAPLkXujqa6o
settled inside. As I sat next to Zoey and closed the door, she turned 811Please respect copyright.PENANADcZHPi9lIk
the other way to avoid my gaze. I didn't say anything as the car drove 811Please respect copyright.PENANAa2dxBXf2qG
out of the YG premises. I felt like I had already done enough on my 811Please respect copyright.PENANAysGxkz5LPB
part.811Please respect copyright.PENANAGL5zmo0hSI
And no one in the car said anything either till we got to the hotel.
