Zoey's P.O.V:792Please respect copyright.PENANAOtzHw5QSfq
I was still in the dance792Please respect copyright.PENANASud0la5TPW
studio with my back on the floor and my face facing the ceiling. I took792Please respect copyright.PENANAHfsPDFhzhK
a deep breath and let it out, trying to relax myself. But I couldn't. I792Please respect copyright.PENANAYugqJT9GIP
wondered how I got to this point with everything crumbling down to 792Please respect copyright.PENANAszHo64KoWs
pieces.792Please respect copyright.PENANAuvx0Udg6vu
G-Dragon had left me 792Please respect copyright.PENANAF9fEAi0Xe3
alone to think after our talk. As much as it hurt talking to him, it 792Please respect copyright.PENANALb9r0hb51t
wasn't as intense as the one he and Sam shared when they argued down the792Please respect copyright.PENANAdy8pJ5HdUi
hall earlier. I knew GD was trying to go calm and easy on me, which he 792Please respect copyright.PENANAom4QQvrcHT
did. But I was still hurting as hell.792Please respect copyright.PENANALEM3gpI0lB
It was now over between 792Please respect copyright.PENANAiuNdDmflOH
us. I knew I had it coming because I wasn't going to stay here in Korea 792Please respect copyright.PENANAuCXXcqf3in
for long. But I never knew it was all because G-Dragon really liked Sam.792Please respect copyright.PENANAM97MT3TVaH
That felt like a blow to my face.792Please respect copyright.PENANAsyknohbhPK
I was hurting, I was 792Please respect copyright.PENANAY50K0aftyI
pissed and angry. I should have known better that G-Dragon never had 792Please respect copyright.PENANA6eAGdgbMTC
eyes for me in the first place, but for Sam. Who I bet felt guilty and 792Please respect copyright.PENANAElZLmZ1uMW
tried to tell me the truth earlier on this morning, but I never took her792Please respect copyright.PENANASCENFetrRp
seriously. Come to think of it, I never do take her seriously. But she 792Please respect copyright.PENANAQFAklQDyKH
couldn't come to tell me that G-Dragon liked her because she knew 792Please respect copyright.PENANArxgSebH6J0
G-Dragon was supposed to tell me himself. No wonder she kept quiet. 792Please respect copyright.PENANAWVOsiABPcL
Looks like her conscious took the better of her and told her not to.792Please respect copyright.PENANA6ooB13AvMR
I was glad that all of 792Please respect copyright.PENANANb7Qvdo0nm
this was bought to light, but now, all of our group members know. And as792Please respect copyright.PENANAEQzANvNaAn
for Daesung, I always knew he had eyes for Sam but the two of them 792Please respect copyright.PENANAKfailMkksO
accepted that they could never be together. That was pretty brave of 792Please respect copyright.PENANAwHyWlrYsmQ
them if you ask me. I wish I could be a little more like Sam on learning792Please respect copyright.PENANAvP8KOSLjiH
how to let go.792Please respect copyright.PENANAPKX7xUmIR6
I sighed. But I couldn't792Please respect copyright.PENANAS83OjClXYX
let go of G-Dragon. He had something that other guys I have dated or 792Please respect copyright.PENANAi2RWs5IJEe
met in my life never had that drew me close to him. But looks like he 792Please respect copyright.PENANAQnfptfkO0n
wasn't mine to keep, nor Sam's.792Please respect copyright.PENANAQE6n04Oq6M
I don't know what to 792Please respect copyright.PENANAHLTVMmwGC9
think now that I know he had always liked Sam from the very beginning. I792Please respect copyright.PENANARP65VnYE2E
was angry at the both of them from keeping all of this from me, but I 792Please respect copyright.PENANAYXepXTyLTs
was also pretty mad at myself for playing the fool.792Please respect copyright.PENANAxe1FRxcE0a
What hurt me the most 792Please respect copyright.PENANA6RZJtLjJHN
was the kiss G-Dragon and I shared in Paris. Everything felt so real 792Please respect copyright.PENANAkLHTxdC81K
back then, but now, it was like a faded memory. When G-Dragon told me 792Please respect copyright.PENANAZazZzDVnxr
earlier that he had always liked Sam, I had asked him what our kiss in 792Please respect copyright.PENANAqEIxYbugFr
Paris meant to him. He told me he did all that just to distract himself 792Please respect copyright.PENANAoyme0Uj00K
because Sam had pissed him off earlier. I know the two had argued a 792Please respect copyright.PENANAw6l5RKnYao
couple of times before, but I never knew it was that serious to the 792Please respect copyright.PENANApCiwRxVflN
extent that he had to use me as a distraction just to get his mind off 792Please respect copyright.PENANAfs6KljKHzx
her. For some reason, I felt so used.792Please respect copyright.PENANAZzwMz7KsBi
He did say he was sorry 792Please respect copyright.PENANANbog7VuA3i
and that he didn't want to hurt me. I couldn't stay mad at him. For some792Please respect copyright.PENANAvq8faVqfY1
reason, I just couldn't. But I was mad at Sam though. She should have 792Please respect copyright.PENANAWVbvBsnASn
told me what was going on. We were best friends for crying out loud.792Please respect copyright.PENANAcL8q8KlqkU
She had a lot of 792Please respect copyright.PENANAiUzAGkwArM
explaining to do. That's if I get to cool down first. I still had a lot 792Please respect copyright.PENANAHHt4LBQ2ct
of things pending in my mind and I had to be really careful with what I 792Please respect copyright.PENANAfS73YDcKvG
was going to say to her.792Please respect copyright.PENANACwfALJaQXQ
As I got up from the 792Please respect copyright.PENANARXwSmDFqWO
floor, the door to the studio flew open and Christine came in with what 792Please respect copyright.PENANA6OMnE3ZuxB
looked like a lunch takeout in a plastic bag. I could tell by the look 792Please respect copyright.PENANA3vKSSgCKaE
on her face that she was trying to figure out what words to say to me so792Please respect copyright.PENANAhzKjO2gYFB
that I couldn't get mad any further.792Please respect copyright.PENANAXz56gqkQFB
"Hey, Zoey," said Christine as she closed the door behind her. "I brought you your lunch."792Please respect copyright.PENANAp33qZO3Xvk
I managed to put up a smile. "Thanks, Christine."792Please respect copyright.PENANAmYoKNxslUS
She walked up to me. "So, did you guys talk?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAV1qctK9qCk
"Ya." I nodded my head. "We did."792Please respect copyright.PENANAIR2rY9sA9A
"We saw G-Dragon earlier," said Christine. "The others are talking to him, so I came here to check up on you."792Please respect copyright.PENANA5Sv891dGjP
"Thanks. I'm okay, but I just realised that I'm pretty hungry."792Please respect copyright.PENANAjOkJ2QLp1c
"Here." Christine gave me my lunch and I sat down on the floor to eat. She sat also down, facing me.792Please respect copyright.PENANAxcHw7X3wiI
"So, how are things?" Christine asked.792Please respect copyright.PENANAiQTuPiHgUv
"I don't know whether to say things are good or bad," I said as I bit a slice of pizza.792Please respect copyright.PENANAdaBVA1E7Ge
"Looking at you, it's pretty bad. G-Dragon said it's over between the two of you."792Please respect copyright.PENANAlE0VmKMFft
"Ya, it is. I was so stupid to think that we would last."792Please respect copyright.PENANArdR0lS3hYG
"Come on, Zoey. I think 792Please respect copyright.PENANAe58siBmRyp
it was pretty obvious. I mean, we weren't going to stay here for long. 792Please respect copyright.PENANADQ376XJAtk
And you know what Collins told us last time."792Please respect copyright.PENANARUJIHMHHMI
"I know. But I never knew it would be because of Sam." I bit another piece of pizza in my mouth.792Please respect copyright.PENANADYaGPXlfEs
Christine winced. "Sorry792Please respect copyright.PENANAoiKatY7epL
to break it to you, Zoey, but it was quite clear from the day we got 792Please respect copyright.PENANARp7DI9JrGd
here that G-Dragon had eyes for her this whole time."792Please respect copyright.PENANA2EaxgFsjT8
I stopped chewing on my pizza and looked up at Christine.792Please respect copyright.PENANA11fXNK9TdS
"What? You knew about this and you never told me?"792Please respect copyright.PENANA32KpqDFdap
Christine shrugged her 792Please respect copyright.PENANAoINaYp0QaQ
shoulders. "You're the one with the eyes for these things, not me. 792Please respect copyright.PENANA5obuvPO1gH
Sadly, you got too attached to G-Dragon that you couldn't even realise 792Please respect copyright.PENANADpoe48mlCo
it yourself."792Please respect copyright.PENANAtwhMuDL6Do
I chewed slowly as I 792Please respect copyright.PENANAcb5ymvV8C3
thought of what she said. "I guess you're right. Is that the reason why 792Please respect copyright.PENANAZyfO4zbXT2
you said G-Dragon and Sam would have made a perfect couple during that 792Please respect copyright.PENANAMVJdA3fdIh
interview?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAl56M6Bl6vL
"Well, ya. I thought by saying that, you would open your eyes for once. But that didn't work."792Please respect copyright.PENANAqoB20Tktag
"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."792Please respect copyright.PENANAThWEayhAJ7
"So you could burst into an uproar and tear everyone's heads out? No way." She shook her head.792Please respect copyright.PENANAAD8fbhc8p3
"Look at me, Christine. I might be hurt but I'm still composed."792Please respect copyright.PENANAmBbsZiAcx2
"And what if Sam shows up? Wouldn't you be in an uproar then?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAgBbRbbqYFh
I had no words. Maybe 792Please respect copyright.PENANAB51u1agZ8R
Christine was right. I don't know what I would do if Sam were to come 792Please respect copyright.PENANA2wlUgvwX6m
into the room. As much as I was pissed at G-Dragon, I was pretty furious792Please respect copyright.PENANAW1zDralAHz
at Sam.792Please respect copyright.PENANASkID1swwq3
"No, I wouldn't," I said, ignoring Christine.792Please respect copyright.PENANAXVCbniYMm8
"Yes, you would. A lot 792Please respect copyright.PENANAViP90H4U4B
of us know you too well, Zoey. And you're probably wondering what 792Please respect copyright.PENANAwGSAtT5opX
G-Dragon saw in Sam that he couldn't see in you."792Please respect copyright.PENANA3rT4oxvy2D
I got irritated now, 792Please respect copyright.PENANAwNV6VvibC9
knowing that Christine was right. "So what? That's not going to put me 792Please respect copyright.PENANATMKe0svDk5
into a fit of a tantrum when I see her."792Please respect copyright.PENANAXGqDNe4Az3
"It would, Zoey. And as 792Please respect copyright.PENANAspv97UAlVZ
much as it's normal to think that way because you're hurt and pretty 792Please respect copyright.PENANAj4i8ujQiIp
much jealous, you also have to look at things through Sam's point of 792Please respect copyright.PENANAYrf75TfB5R
view."792Please respect copyright.PENANAuicXaTg2yA
"Hey! I'm not jealous."792Please respect copyright.PENANAj5s9bQIwey
Christine rolled her 792Please respect copyright.PENANAAS5wNK7RMV
eyes at me. "Whatever. But promise me you won't shout in Sam's face when792Please respect copyright.PENANAhfeJSBqz1t
you see her. I bet she feels really bad about this and I know she 792Please respect copyright.PENANAcffMPVMmkB
couldn't tell you because she didn't want you to get hurt."792Please respect copyright.PENANAe3rk6CQX0J
"Why are you saying that? Did she tell you that she already knew that G-Dragon liked her?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAadgIw0eEFs
"No. But knowing her 792Please respect copyright.PENANAgUnGf6GHtO
character, she would do exactly that. You're her best friend and I know 792Please respect copyright.PENANAjSJZ3VTtaq
she would do nothing to hurt you. It must be pretty bad for her too."792Please respect copyright.PENANAI6TdEqklvy
"I know, but, I can't believe that G-Dragon fell for her and not me."792Please respect copyright.PENANAT2lYECbcqY
"Here we go," said 792Please respect copyright.PENANA9NIXvuvwlG
Christine, throwing her hands in the air. "You really think all this is 792Please respect copyright.PENANAcmzpKi7MU7
about you? That all the nice guys are supposed to fall for you wherever 792Please respect copyright.PENANAECQhz42te3
you go?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAMUx17LQTrt
"No. It's just...."792Please respect copyright.PENANAAF8Nol14qA
"Don't say another word, Zoey. It's clear to see that you aren't concerned about Sam at all."792Please respect copyright.PENANAy5XqBMyMMr
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."792Please respect copyright.PENANAG7fwrf9x1t
"Then you as her best 792Please respect copyright.PENANAxeYSRoWoaI
friend should understand why she did that. You heard her down that hall 792Please respect copyright.PENANAKswsxbhW8G
when she argued with G-Dragon about telling you the truth. It's because 792Please respect copyright.PENANAeyTSqL8u8c
she didn't want to see you hurt. She never does and she never will."792Please respect copyright.PENANAPne3ZeCCjh
I looked down on the 792Please respect copyright.PENANAlospdsFl3R
floor feeling a little guilty. I know Sam and her character, and she was792Please respect copyright.PENANAUJin7oDNTp
one who wouldn't like to hurt anyone. But I still couldn't help but 792Please respect copyright.PENANAn58o8AeH79
feel mad.792Please respect copyright.PENANA8F5VD7aF2B
"Okay, okay. It's just that, this has never really happened to me before."792Please respect copyright.PENANAPaZbTRtDYc
"That's because you 792Please respect copyright.PENANA3CHF90KTfd
always think guys would fall for you all the time no matter what. It's 792Please respect copyright.PENANA0eXvxDu4LB
been like that since high school. You were the one whom all the boys 792Please respect copyright.PENANA2omv7lB7U0
admired and Sam was one who you never thought could ever make any guy 792Please respect copyright.PENANAlUwmhjOdvs
fall for her, especially G-Dragon."792Please respect copyright.PENANA6k722GCM68
"Mmmm. Maybe. It's not my fault that I attract so many guys."792Please respect copyright.PENANAEG4YMnp8re
"Well, I hope what's happened will help you realise that not everything is all about you."792Please respect copyright.PENANAWyofXBB2iw
I sighed. I had now lost my appetite after what she had said.792Please respect copyright.PENANArDos32swlo
"I hope Sam is alright," said Christine. "Have you seen her?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAKaW5Dq6EIp
"No, I thought she was with you guys," I said.792Please respect copyright.PENANA63ntipVyNq
"She never came downstairs with us."792Please respect copyright.PENANA7Rq8gFzVv6
"She must be around here somewhere. She will show up when it's time for practise."792Please respect copyright.PENANATbRHqExdeV
"I hope so. Anyway we will be starting soon. Now remember. Don't get mad, okay?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAtkqzO2ciwX
"I'll try. I'm not promising anything."792Please respect copyright.PENANAPPrgdV5AlL
The door flew open all 792Please respect copyright.PENANAx5NWzzj4Bu
of the sudden and thinking it was Sam, the guys came in the room. I felt792Please respect copyright.PENANApzoZgx9IUi
a little relieved. But I looked away when G-Dragon came in. I still 792Please respect copyright.PENANAGHlURoNQqQ
wasn't ready to look at him yet.792Please respect copyright.PENANAUFTxolmES2
"Ummm, has anyone seen Sam?" Daniel asked, after looking around the room.792Please respect copyright.PENANAyEmn8JrfHu
"No, we haven't," said Christine getting up from the floor.792Please respect copyright.PENANABCRzp46HJa
"She must be around here somewhere," said Taeyang.792Please respect copyright.PENANAIYZdsUxlNZ
"I bet she hasn't eaten lunch yet," said Mike. "I think I should go and look for her."792Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ6oghG98b
"Why not call her?" I asked. "I bet she carried her phone."792Please respect copyright.PENANAkXfq1i9G21
"Zoey," Christine looked at me with a frown on her face.792Please respect copyright.PENANAtVz7u1kf93
"What?" I looked up at her as I shrugged my shoulders.792Please respect copyright.PENANAxVHUmc0nfR
"Arrgh!" she growled in frustration and looked away.792Please respect copyright.PENANA7dtVyzNxow
"Wow, girls, what's up?" Seungri asked with a surprised look on his face. "Don't tell me you two were arguing too?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAsUqNAZYbtj
"No, just trying to convince some people around here about doing the right thing," said Christine as she looked down at me.792Please respect copyright.PENANATSD092LWm3
I could have stuck out my tongue at her, but I didn't. I kept my cool and I continued to eat my pizza.792Please respect copyright.PENANA5BX1xpMMb2
"Guys, we have a problem," said TOP.792Please respect copyright.PENANAwhYa7BqbGS
We all turned to look at him and he was holding his phone in his hand. Had he been trying to call Sam?792Please respect copyright.PENANA90yHAj4fmv
"What is it?" G-Dragon asked.792Please respect copyright.PENANAnP7CJGZ2dj
"Sam isn't picking my call," TOP answered. "It's ringing but she isn't picking up."792Please respect copyright.PENANAdmW1mEz5lO
"Maybe she put her phone on silent," said Mike.792Please respect copyright.PENANANLQVeFSOAK
"Meaning we have to look for her then," said Taeyang.792Please respect copyright.PENANAwPKt2NtI4y
"I'll look for her," said Daniel. "I bet she is at the recording studio."792Please respect copyright.PENANAoczGXNXozE
"I'm coming with you," said Daesung.792Please respect copyright.PENANA8sOLXAg9Hl
"Count me in," said Mike.792Please respect copyright.PENANASdEPShQjFX
Christine came beside me792Please respect copyright.PENANACjapzPygZo
and gave me a nudge on my leg with her foot. I looked up at her and she792Please respect copyright.PENANAwwP1BicBMc
jerked her head towards the door. I knew she wanted me to go with them 792Please respect copyright.PENANAC7EiwSLM1Q
to look for Sam. I didn't want to snap at her so I just had to comply.792Please respect copyright.PENANA555VYr471W
"I'm also coming with you," I said as I stood up from the floor.792Please respect copyright.PENANAn1Sdns0xvq
"Why don't we all go?" Christine asked.792Please respect copyright.PENANABsy0SRygAM
"Okay," said G-Dragon. "Let's just hope that the choreographer doesn't come here and find us missing."792Please respect copyright.PENANA6S7CRtKZOn
"Then someone should stay behind and explain what's going on," I said. "So, I'll stay."792Please respect copyright.PENANARPL5AUh5Hn
"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."792Please respect copyright.PENANAwE77TRLolB
I sighed as I rolled my eyes. "Fine."792Please respect copyright.PENANACfycJYoIjz
"Let's go up to the recording studio," said TOP. "I'll continue to call Sam and check if she is okay."792Please respect copyright.PENANAhtxpoaSxPw
Daesung opened the door 792Please respect copyright.PENANAmwdgrxPCVi
and went out of the room first and we all followed. I seriously wasn't 792Please respect copyright.PENANAr1KtmFK6tl
in the mood to go and start looking for Sam. If anything, I should be 792Please respect copyright.PENANAwmlyI5nRx7
given more time to think and try to calm down. But I couldn't help but 792Please respect copyright.PENANAcRsZfn82mw
worry about her whereabouts too.792Please respect copyright.PENANAt7a6qbg5vo
We all went upstairs and792Please respect copyright.PENANAIxw7qsElNU
checked every recording room. There was still no sign of her. And TOP 792Please respect copyright.PENANAlifJi7kcsh
had tried calling but she still wasn't picking up.792Please respect copyright.PENANAvsT3rGDlHS
When we came to the 792Please respect copyright.PENANANg4Pt57wod
second last studio room down the hall, we found Sam settled on the 792Please respect copyright.PENANA4mPG8Tw5UW
couch. She seemed to be busy because she was bended over a small table 792Please respect copyright.PENANAayv7jIejMj
in front of her, with a pen in her hand and was scribbling something on a792Please respect copyright.PENANAOil6pyyyYC
sheet of paper.792Please respect copyright.PENANAzX4z8PByut
"Sam," Mike called out to her as he rushed into the room.792Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3qEryYH8F
Sam quickly looked up. 792Please respect copyright.PENANArjdG0i2NwD
Telling on the look on her face, she was pretty preoccupied, as always. I792Please respect copyright.PENANACxCKklkUbq
wondered what she was writing. Hopefully not a run away letter saying 792Please respect copyright.PENANAUdDWekQBzm
that she will leave the group because of what she has done.792Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3UThf2jkn
We all came in the room 792Please respect copyright.PENANAUJmD995A5a
and to be honest, I didn't want to be here. I could tell that G-Dragon 792Please respect copyright.PENANA8FpwCNqi44
also felt the same. I looked at him and he seemed pretty uncomfortable.792Please respect copyright.PENANADojdG3UjJ8
"May I ask what you're doing here?" Daniel asked Sam.792Please respect copyright.PENANAyQVcMVTAYJ
"I...I was just...." Sam792Please respect copyright.PENANAWfFIo7aqYg
looked down at the paper she was scribbling on and then up at her 792Please respect copyright.PENANAkTpnQLWqDG
brothers. "I just needed to be alone for a while. That's why I came 792Please respect copyright.PENANAorKqhldc5B
here."792Please respect copyright.PENANAyO8TD2qnIt
"But are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You weren't picking up your phone."792Please respect copyright.PENANAq8zrLxVEQK
"I put it on silent," said Sam, as she scratched her head. "Sorry if I worried you."792Please respect copyright.PENANAf4OXt4d00N
"Apologising isn't one of your best traits, Sam," I blurted out without thinking. "I'm surprised you're doing so now."792Please respect copyright.PENANAjGYn8W6SVj
Everyone turned to look 792Please respect copyright.PENANAlsV03h2T6C
at me and I could tell they were shocked with what I said. But I didn't 792Please respect copyright.PENANAGuDNvYMRxf
care. I had my hands on my hips to show how mad I was.792Please respect copyright.PENANAOdultLQlxT
"Zoey," Sam stood up from the couch and I could tell she was sorry just by looking in her eyes. "We need to talk."792Please respect copyright.PENANAQTZXSPcIVn
"There is nothing to talk about, Sam. G-Dragon told me everything and I don't need to listen to you."792Please respect copyright.PENANACJK6HuUeCk
"Zoey!" Christine interfered.792Please respect copyright.PENANAZ519DTmgoq
"Let me talk, Christine," I said, holding my hand up to Christine to stop her from talking.792Please respect copyright.PENANAHerQu0sVEb
"Zoey, I know you're mad at me. But I didn't want it to go down like this," said Sam.792Please respect copyright.PENANAvmP7TbRor1
"Well, it's a little too792Please respect copyright.PENANAKEo0asrDav
late for that, isn't it? Why didn't you tell me all this before? And 792Please respect copyright.PENANAO4K4zYGdnv
don't try to say you were only doing it so that I wouldn't get hurt."792Please respect copyright.PENANAd8iFbsbDCA
Sam opened her mouth but792Please respect copyright.PENANAKmSl4asGGy
closed it again. I could see tears well up in her eyes. If she thought 792Please respect copyright.PENANA7QbJghotxE
crying would make me forgive her, she was dead wrong. I was a little 792Please respect copyright.PENANA9jUTkm4QXB
surprised when no tear fell down her cheek.792Please respect copyright.PENANAHC1CejNclb
"I'm sorry, Zoey," she said. "But what else could I tell you?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAag7b6aUtQh
"Why you stole G-Dragon from me!"792Please respect copyright.PENANAItTxZEj1ll
"I didn't steal him from you, Zoey."792Please respect copyright.PENANAos5hFNHpvM
"Now you're just talking nonsense," said Christine.792Please respect copyright.PENANARkvosA5OgU
"Shut up, Christine!" I snapped at her.792Please respect copyright.PENANARPx2gMMqcw
"The drama queen must have hit her head or something," Daniel said, shaking his head.792Please respect copyright.PENANA3z8lzrMi40
"I didn't hit my head," I said as I turned to look at Daniel.792Please respect copyright.PENANAw0PCaCDr7j
"You're acting like you have," said G-Dragon. "What's wrong with you?"792Please respect copyright.PENANA06L6OOTIli
I turned to look at G-Dragon and I couldn't believe that he was also calling me crazy.792Please respect copyright.PENANAkM3Ml99Zk5
"This is unbelievable," I said as I rubbed my forehead. "Now I'm the crazy one."792Please respect copyright.PENANAMgE9XOJJ8q
"Zoey, please calm down," said Seungri. "This isn't good for you or for anyone else."792Please respect copyright.PENANAEwBXZ6fqb3
I took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling. Then I went back to looking at Sam.792Please respect copyright.PENANAMqECjZek8e
"If you've a better explanation to all this, I'll be in the dance studio."792Please respect copyright.PENANAD4e2OxXiY5
I turned around and went out of the room, banging the door loudly behind me.792Please respect copyright.PENANAOA4AKoB7y3

Sam's P.O.V:792Please respect copyright.PENANAg0QNBi6E9o
I winced when the door 792Please respect copyright.PENANAdNs60vMPo3
banged shut in front of me. I knew Zoey was going to be furious. And 792Please respect copyright.PENANAXkFzYLIvXD
trying to cool her down was going to be difficult. I had to work on a 792Please respect copyright.PENANAYDLB1knkc0
different approach to get to her.792Please respect copyright.PENANAppuqRqPFbT
I looked at the others 792Please respect copyright.PENANA10UT6qonvc
in front of me and they were silent. Looks like they were pretty much 792Please respect copyright.PENANAHyaFmKwgCq
ready for Zoey's outburst than I was.792Please respect copyright.PENANAg5LZ5fUOik
"We better get going, the choreographer will be back any moment," said TOP.792Please respect copyright.PENANAPzphdjM4HZ
"Are you crazy?" Mike 792Please respect copyright.PENANA8FNm8TahnY
asked as he turned to look at TOP. "I'm not going in that room if Zoey 792Please respect copyright.PENANAgUlvoyFwF4
is going to continue acting like a lunatic."792Please respect copyright.PENANAddxpJH5Y2R
"Mike's right," said Daesung. "Maybe we should just cancel practise today, for things to settle down."792Please respect copyright.PENANA25mUM16pEY
"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."792Please respect copyright.PENANAcif8qgOzVw
"We have to come up with792Please respect copyright.PENANA5LkchGZWGA
something then," said Christine. "Because just as Mike said, dancing 792Please respect copyright.PENANA9xwsqT9ukM
with Zoey is going to be dangerous. The next thing we know, we would all792Please respect copyright.PENANAhQJaOijZHJ
be landing on our faces in that studio."792Please respect copyright.PENANAAMWiBBPWoU
"I agree," said Seungri. "Does anyone have any plans?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAbwH21wpPzg
"I can pretend I sprain my ankle," said Daniel. "That will give us enough time for things to settle."792Please respect copyright.PENANApS5xnvQbP0
"No, they will bring in a medical examiner and make things worse," said Taeyang.792Please respect copyright.PENANAthMDybdDbH
"Okay, this is tough," said Christine, as she started to pace up and down.792Please respect copyright.PENANAKpThTN1nIr
"We wouldn't be going through all this if it wasn't for you, Sam," said G-Dragon.792Please respect copyright.PENANAodl7p9pmJ0
Everyone, including me turned to look at G-Dragon who was standing further away from us at the door.792Please respect copyright.PENANAhXsSiFZSMt
"What did I do?" I 792Please respect copyright.PENANAnOfiXNWCso
asked. "If you mean telling Zoey the truth, that's supposed to rest on 792Please respect copyright.PENANAoZSKL9CysC
your shoulders and not just mine alone."792Please respect copyright.PENANA7dqcy6oz4L
"But I did tell you that I would handle it, didn't I?"792Please respect copyright.PENANACIGP93GYji
"Whether you told her 792Please respect copyright.PENANAQqOXgYhGWo
the truth later on, the fact is she was still going to get mad. You guys792Please respect copyright.PENANAdsQEXXsxUb
talked a while ago, didn't you? How was that handling things? She is 792Please respect copyright.PENANAbnOopJAKJG
still furious and mostly at me."792Please respect copyright.PENANAXTG4vF2Yqi
"GD, I think Sam is 792Please respect copyright.PENANAhUmhrugZbh
right," said Seungri. "Zoey is one who gets pretty emotional and even if792Please respect copyright.PENANAmBapjHCfRZ
you told her the truth much later, she was still going to get pissed 792Please respect copyright.PENANAB73Ds2NcD6
like she is now."792Please respect copyright.PENANA2VG1dcCW2d
"And she would throw 792Please respect copyright.PENANA4JII7BUrW4
stuff at us," said Mike. "Trust me, right now, Zoey isn't as mad as you 792Please respect copyright.PENANAaPy4G3zksj
would expect her to be or else she would have done exactly that. The 792Please respect copyright.PENANATBQBVt3R19
throwing stuff at us thing."792Please respect copyright.PENANAlw2eQX8NCH
"Look GD, if you're 792Please respect copyright.PENANAlx6PgKtIMy
finding a way to blame me for all this, I agree with you," I said. "But 792Please respect copyright.PENANAi2QT56tLaT
now isn't the time to start blaming each other. It isn't going to work."792Please respect copyright.PENANACdsulNEveA
"Then what will?" G-Dragon asked. "You know pretty well that we all can't calm Zoey down because of you."792Please respect copyright.PENANAvwZeIDIpuI
"Here we go again with 792Please respect copyright.PENANAv6FMiLPvRr
the blaming," I said as I raised my hands in the air in frustration. I 792Please respect copyright.PENANAHzjR2txuli
turned away from him and tried to think of what to say next.792Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6QHtqi4cV
"Do you know what?" I said as I faced him again. "I give up."792Please respect copyright.PENANAR06IMSdGMf
The room was silent when everyone turned to look at the me.792Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ2tgbmHTR
"What?" G-Dragon asked.792Please respect copyright.PENANAatwbUh2ta1
"I give up," I repeated.792Please respect copyright.PENANAT0McYkzZvQ
"If I really wanted to, GD, I would have told Zoey a long time ago 792Please respect copyright.PENANAmSVZBzQWFk
about this even before you went to Paris but I didn't because I wasn't 792Please respect copyright.PENANA5nfadJ2Xj6
too sure. The biggest mistake you made was leading her on and that gave 792Please respect copyright.PENANApeonoWEceh
her hope that your relationship would work. You and I should both be 792Please respect copyright.PENANAYS3yrMwGXz
blamed for what's happened to Zoey. I didn't tell her the truth and 792Please respect copyright.PENANAZfAqg6hvM1
that's also my biggest mistake."792Please respect copyright.PENANAUpMpZF3cF5
The air in the room 792Please respect copyright.PENANAeVf18f8RCB
became stale and I bet everyone else noticed it too. No one said a word.792Please respect copyright.PENANAd4p54KE2RB
This time it was G-Dragon and I holding the floor.792Please respect copyright.PENANAivM8qMfkNT
"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?"792Please respect copyright.PENANACef2tpvYd6
The others looked at me 792Please respect copyright.PENANAtBpX1RtM1Y
then back at G-Dragon waiting for him to say something. But he didn't. 792Please respect copyright.PENANAhoYkrbphG3
He continued to look at me and I knew I hit the nail on the head this 792Please respect copyright.PENANABAEyGdw9rl
time. I could tell in his eyes that he was furious.792Please respect copyright.PENANAmekVY5PWNS
Without a word, he 792Please respect copyright.PENANATIg8vgaM82
turned around and opened the door. Upon opening it, there stood Lee. She792Please respect copyright.PENANADoR34jhCaa
stepped aside for G-Dragon to pass and without a care in the world, he 792Please respect copyright.PENANAm1gt6qKtOl
walked past her. Lee continued to look at him as he went done the hall, 792Please respect copyright.PENANA683vYOmlUd
then she came in.792Please respect copyright.PENANAfWe36nvOIH
"Sorry for coming in at such an awkward time," said Lee. "But I have some news that I think will be helpful."792Please respect copyright.PENANAuFUxGAJI8I
"What is it?" Daesung asked.792Please respect copyright.PENANAmr3C9JTJNb
"The choreographer won't792Please respect copyright.PENANA0INC5aTRa3
be able to come after lunch. He has some personal things to attend to, 792Please respect copyright.PENANAI4LVGtHXyU
so, practise will resume on Monday."792Please respect copyright.PENANAKuLwI1ey1A
"Phew! Thank goodness," said Christine.792Please respect copyright.PENANAUuug6UKPls
"Well, given what's going on, you will need it," said Lee.792Please respect copyright.PENANALdo0b9XFaX
"You haven't told our managers, have you?" Taeyang asked.792Please respect copyright.PENANAtTIsXbFvnc
"No, that will just make things worse."792Please respect copyright.PENANA2rglbTwliK
"Well, I'm glad," I said. "Maybe we can work things out with Zoey and G-Dragon."792Please respect copyright.PENANAj8Odf48yC0
"I'll handle GD," said TOP. "You will handle Zoey."792Please respect copyright.PENANARUUg4gEKCm
"Christine and Sam will do it. Count me out," said Mike. "I would rather talk to G-Dragon than the drama queen."792Please respect copyright.PENANA4UraxAxS4I
"Hey, we might need you 792Please respect copyright.PENANArmHrNENehv
with, Zoey," said Christine. "Just like Collins, you also know how to 792Please respect copyright.PENANAzsxj2UK84P
put her down. You're quite good at it."792Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6SFVSsBWR
"Thanks for the compliment, but I'm sticking to my word."792Please respect copyright.PENANA4OlNRm6O7u
"Mike might make things worse," said Daniel. "Maybe it's best if he stays out of it."792Please respect copyright.PENANAFAYxTdAIBM
"Hopefully, by Monday, everything is going to be okay," said Taeyang.792Please respect copyright.PENANA5uWUir6SKD
"Hopefully," I said. I sighed. "Look guys, I'm sorry."792Please respect copyright.PENANAwbGqjy99b2
"For what?" TOP asked.792Please respect copyright.PENANAOKPXNLLRMT
"For this whole mess. I shouldn't have kept all this from you."792Please respect copyright.PENANAA8x9S1HM0b
"Sam," Christine walked 792Please respect copyright.PENANAGibShGV5kz
up to me and placed her arm around my shoulder. "I understand why you 792Please respect copyright.PENANAiyo0W5CqgJ
did it and if you ask me, it's not really your fault. You were just 792Please respect copyright.PENANATJbwWhlOBx
doing what you thought was right."792Please respect copyright.PENANAWGkXrMkYwO
"I also agree with Christine," said Daniel. "You shouldn't beat yourself up because of this. We're in this together now."792Please respect copyright.PENANALWkLfT5lRT
"Yes, we all are in this with you," said Daesung, giving me an encouraging smile.792Please respect copyright.PENANAFFXqZKO8zv
"Then its best we go back to the hotel then," said Mike.792Please respect copyright.PENANAV0mI73o512
"Let's go," said Lee.792Please respect copyright.PENANAo5xY7lkWK2
"Then we will meet on Monday," said Taeyang.792Please respect copyright.PENANAtIog9aibYp
"Tell me how everything goes with G-Dragon," I said.792Please respect copyright.PENANAVrYMjUU5hn
"We will," said TOP as he walked up to me. "Now, stop sulking and smile for me, everything will be alright. You'll see."792Please respect copyright.PENANAJCP2UCgDCm
I only managed to smile at him and nodded my head. "Yes, I'll."792Please respect copyright.PENANACMmsObkEmj
As the others started to792Please respect copyright.PENANAYhqnri4kdj
leave the room one by one, I got the sheet of paper I was writing on, 792Please respect copyright.PENANAtM3hLCiwjX
folded it and put it away in my purse.792Please respect copyright.PENANAU0Dh9D0jpl
"What were you writing on that thing?" Christine asked, as her eyes were on the folded paper as I put it away.792Please respect copyright.PENANAHhXoK94kzn
"You'll know soon enough," I said, with a sad smile.792Please respect copyright.PENANAGM8dN8n0PD
"Come, we better get going," said Lee after the BigBang members had left.792Please respect copyright.PENANAMkbPjLrIlF
"Can you guys go ahead? I would like to talk to Zoey."792Please respect copyright.PENANAkJsHx0I0Ns
"Don't you want us to come with you?" Christine asked.792Please respect copyright.PENANAnuWwsKewtg
"No, I want to see if I can manage to talk to her on my own."792Please respect copyright.PENANAeKMgFoztxt
Christine nodded her head and I could tell she was worried about what was going to happen. "If you say so."792Please respect copyright.PENANAg3d5A5fLtH
"We will be waiting for you downstairs," said Lee.792Please respect copyright.PENANAXw3ooHnVso
We came out of the 792Please respect copyright.PENANAJx34GSYb8c
studio and the others went to use the elevator to head downstairs while I792Please respect copyright.PENANA1EfojR04o4
used the stairs to head to the dance studio.792Please respect copyright.PENANAC0B9P7S9Rx
I thought of what I was 792Please respect copyright.PENANADCjQvt9jeu
going to say as I walked down the hall. I was pretty scared and I was 792Please respect copyright.PENANAmLFHiDxFNb
afraid that if Zoey saw me, she would pounce on me and try to scratch my792Please respect copyright.PENANANRF98I464Z
eyes out.792Please respect copyright.PENANAh41Vnia43P
When I reached the room 792Please respect copyright.PENANAL9AZP0Z0hq
we had been using for practice earlier, I froze by the door. I was 792Please respect copyright.PENANA8HYkcFd2GB
afraid of touching the door handle, thinking that I would get burnt.792Please respect copyright.PENANAPIgOi2Sds7
Maybe this was a bad 792Please respect copyright.PENANAAy6D3NCysY
idea and going in there was like stepping into the lion's den. I wanted 792Please respect copyright.PENANAoeJbE3Ba6U
to turn around and bail, but my body and my conscious wasn't allowing me792Please respect copyright.PENANAYs55tOd4lU
to. I felt caught in between two worlds.792Please respect copyright.PENANA2Bf0YiUNaN
My body and conscious 792Please respect copyright.PENANAs9f8bZFcnD
won this time around. My hand was reaching for the handle and when I 792Please respect copyright.PENANA7xHr7Qnxsx
held it, I turned it and slowly pushed the door open.792Please respect copyright.PENANAxzVb4nHLIJ
"Are you kidding me right now?" came Zoey's voice in the room. "I can't do that. It's going to be risky."792Please respect copyright.PENANAGvvn9QBqRh
I paused before I could 792Please respect copyright.PENANAUWaCeQf1jz
fully open the door. Who was Zoey talking to? My eyes grew wide. Was it 792Please respect copyright.PENANAcTCY9ZkLYT
who I think it was? Derrick's brother?792Please respect copyright.PENANACH4FTEy88o
"Look, calm down, okay? This is clearly not the time to talk right now."792Please respect copyright.PENANAHSjmhkQiOk
I continued to listen. Maybe I can find out what was going on between the two of them.792Please respect copyright.PENANAK351hb9gxB
"Just so you know, I'm also not in a good mood!"792Please respect copyright.PENANAkhEU85SdLv
I winced at the sound of792Please respect copyright.PENANAT10DGMxp3H
her voice. She wasn't in a good mood indeed. I still had time to get 792Please respect copyright.PENANANG36SZVApz
out of here, but I was rooted at the door.792Please respect copyright.PENANAujpfLwWjMg
"Okay, fine. We will 792Please respect copyright.PENANAatXtYqUMpJ
meet, soon. I'll tell you when. I can't meet you now. Things back here 792Please respect copyright.PENANAKXXUCRrPqR
just got complicated and it will be strange if I disappear like I did 792Please respect copyright.PENANAXiMPf6zBz3
last time."792Please respect copyright.PENANABQ7zjdSH9v
I wanted to sigh in frustration. She didn't give out any clue as to what the two were up to. What a bummer.792Please respect copyright.PENANAnXqlNJLTp6
"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."792Please respect copyright.PENANATI7jrtZa5x
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.792Please respect copyright.PENANAwhYRn1DspA
I heard Zoey say bye and hang up on her phone. I heard her sigh in frustration and mutter something to herself.792Please respect copyright.PENANAUINOZ1kB1P
This was my cue. I 792Please respect copyright.PENANAmtPaRWi706
waited for a good thirty seconds till I fully opened the door. I stepped792Please respect copyright.PENANAzVgf9Ciwht
into the room and Zoey looked up at me from her phone.792Please respect copyright.PENANAvvLca9dxJv
"We won't be having practise," I said as I approached her.792Please respect copyright.PENANADKgC8NXeM2
"Why? Did you tell our managers what's really been going on?" Zoey asked as she folded her arms.792Please respect copyright.PENANAvuxUM9RJv4
"No, it's not that," I said. "You know none of us could do that."792Please respect copyright.PENANAHVjPpSJTbW
"Given what you've done so far, I wouldn't be surprised."792Please respect copyright.PENANAdd662d1Odi
"What have I done so far?"792Please respect copyright.PENANASKY0dWGmnV
"Lied to me and everyone else."792Please respect copyright.PENANAKcCUynRMOr
"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."792Please respect copyright.PENANAJoTSdpF608
"You knew that G-Dragon liked you and you didn't even tell me about it."792Please respect copyright.PENANAYAmUDMX5nE
"What did you want me to792Please respect copyright.PENANAWTezaLOTxV
do? I knew you liked G-Dragon but I didn't know all this between you 792Please respect copyright.PENANA0lV6c2bMTq
two was going to get serious. When you told me that you two had kissed, I792Please respect copyright.PENANAA5rnqWrzPY
wasn't too sure by then if G-Dragon even liked me."792Please respect copyright.PENANAHskjyIxgJo
"You didn't want to tell me because you wanted him to yourself."792Please respect copyright.PENANAfRmvr3Wopm
I sighed. "Come on, Zoey. That makes no sense. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you."792Please respect copyright.PENANAc990CEXarR
"You just did."792Please respect copyright.PENANAb1XzoX55FE
"Won't you just listen to me? Please! Why would I want G-Dragon when I really like Daesung? You think about it."792Please respect copyright.PENANARE0MYPiolo
"I don't have to, Sam. 792Please respect copyright.PENANApDouAMq9OW
You can't make me to. I considered you my best friend and if you really 792Please respect copyright.PENANAPuJJPI1S4P
didn't want to hurt me like you said, you would have told me all this 792Please respect copyright.PENANAydaxhmwJZM
before."792Please respect copyright.PENANAd3ZGGjugDi
I looked down at my feet792Please respect copyright.PENANAm2QWWPWlCr
and I knew she was right. I had hurt her a lot and now she thought of 792Please respect copyright.PENANAINrocgEWtB
as me as someone who just stole her boyfriend.792Please respect copyright.PENANAGithDHYBvZ
"Look, whether you like 792Please respect copyright.PENANAia2o37sn9h
G-Dragon or G-Dragon likes me or I like Daesung, all this wasn't going 792Please respect copyright.PENANAFQjLul9aFU
to last and you know it. You remember Collins' golden rule. And as much 792Please respect copyright.PENANAha0X0bX28S
as it's a little harsh on our part, it very much shows that creating a 792Please respect copyright.PENANAo4WnB6uXF0
real love story wasn't going to be possible. I might be wrong, but you 792Please respect copyright.PENANAuZny6l3fg5
know that I'm right. Sooner or later, we will head back home and I for 792Please respect copyright.PENANAClMlxnfF1G
one don't really believe in long distance relationships."792Please respect copyright.PENANAaQFXQjedWJ
"But it would have worked out for G-Dragon and I," said Zoey, tapping her foot on the floor impatiently.792Please respect copyright.PENANAOCZR5MTLN5
"No, it wouldn't, Zoey. Not when he likes someone else."792Please respect copyright.PENANAZymrfAFU6X
"You, right?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ1Au9MUTF
I didn't want to admit it, so I kept quiet.792Please respect copyright.PENANAKtOoRjjIhB
Zoey nodded her head and792Please respect copyright.PENANAoYGRsPHaqj
I could see tears in her eyes. "I see you're right on that one, Sam. 792Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bc6oLcm1O
All this wasn't going to work out. And it's all thanks to you."792Please respect copyright.PENANAv3eN9I76oQ
I was shaken by her last792Please respect copyright.PENANAlIMdwsNw59
sentence. Great! Just when I thought I was finally getting to her, I 792Please respect copyright.PENANA8xt2WuIJKS
was being blamed. Again! I sighed. This cannot be happening.792Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0eSmfF7tc
"That's not true, Zoey," I said.792Please respect copyright.PENANA3rvKWccXm4
"You made G-Dragon fall in love with you. So it's your fault, isn't it?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAXrqD68TOLR
"We don't choose who we fall in love with."792Please respect copyright.PENANAm3Jpg55Em7
Zoey didn't say a word 792Please respect copyright.PENANAPK7YxuaYiN
as she quickly walked past me and bumped into my shoulder as she passed 792Please respect copyright.PENANAcmGtuJBvrs
and went out the door. That hurt and I was hugely disappointed that I 792Please respect copyright.PENANA5QHZJMXy05
couldn't get to Zoey to forgive me.792Please respect copyright.PENANAPrSN5X8IvA
But now more than ever, 792Please respect copyright.PENANAgzjlOwxx3Q
she was in trouble and I had to help her out. I couldn't abandon her 792Please respect copyright.PENANAEcaZSfZHeQ
now. Dealing with Derrick's brother in a broken state she was in, might 792Please respect copyright.PENANANpWv7hsb2g
just lead to something fatal. And I couldn't let that happen.792Please respect copyright.PENANAXhrmnZtnNq
As I came out of the studio, I pulled out my phone from my purse and called Derrick.792Please respect copyright.PENANA0OsxJNF9Bj
"I wasn't expecting a call from you," said Derrick when he picked up. He sounded calm and that soothed me a little.792Please respect copyright.PENANADqLKiqLMMW
"I called because I heard Zoey talk to your brother over the phone," I said.792Please respect copyright.PENANAzeNZAWjK8g
"Really? Any idea what might be going on?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAHOgUMw93T7
"No, but I think Zoey is keeping something for him and is planning on giving it to him."792Please respect copyright.PENANAuFMl6Hvp8R
"When?"792Please respect copyright.PENANA2tw03NVz1P
"She didn't say. She told him she would meet with him when everything around here cools down."792Please respect copyright.PENANAtV68EzKQpl
"Why? What happened?"792Please respect copyright.PENANAcdN6SQgeeD
I signed as I turned 792Please respect copyright.PENANAbFIGicD9ER
round the corner to use the stairs. "She and I had some argument. I'll 792Please respect copyright.PENANAXVq1yoh51C
tell you about it later. For now, I'll have to keep an eye on her."792Please respect copyright.PENANA8I6eJSZ5ST
"Ya, you do that," said 792Please respect copyright.PENANALC8DZTxM2W
Derrick. I knew he was trying to avoid asking further questions about 792Please respect copyright.PENANAUUaFc20BQG
the argument. "I'll see what I can dig up about my brother's recent 792Please respect copyright.PENANAo1oaqWB0Oa
activities and see what I can find."792Please respect copyright.PENANARiwKhBu33y
"Okay. I'll keep in touch."792Please respect copyright.PENANAboqF03HxLk
"Okay, all the best."792Please respect copyright.PENANAXomvZUXRXs
"Thanks. I'll need it."792Please respect copyright.PENANAl84FbDuC1B
I cut the line and I had792Please respect copyright.PENANAV0EJKx9jJt
reached the bottom of the stairs. I found myself in the lobby and I 792Please respect copyright.PENANAorNFJsp0v6
went out to the SUV waiting outside.792Please respect copyright.PENANAzGeT1YdQsc
The others were already 792Please respect copyright.PENANAV1JZWu1fXZ
settled inside. As I sat next to Zoey and closed the door, she turned 792Please respect copyright.PENANAxJoxSIvj61
the other way to avoid my gaze. I didn't say anything as the car drove 792Please respect copyright.PENANA19hfD3NFfg
out of the YG premises. I felt like I had already done enough on my 792Please respect copyright.PENANAqXF7EfsFUA
part.792Please respect copyright.PENANAd4xGc9RbS5
And no one in the car said anything either till we got to the hotel.
