Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 21: At The Mall

Sunday was quiet and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0EqcUvQLZ
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK2DRbgTDk
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPloi5wx17w
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPrW4jpcw6
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5rLhcpn03

Last night, Zoey moved 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVxqA1j66s
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm3aHiHQFI
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGkn1RnzIm
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qXTQ0RGm0
talk to her either.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLEOUFwNFH

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq4aKAX9DT

It so happened that 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9of3xSdS0
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGROvzF5Xs
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhFE8KhFSr
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTPslIIBgK
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ggOfYwN0I
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdsvllUw1X

Now, I was sitting 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OeXgPo8Q0
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOesyvh7SB
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRPQg7uFtV
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuh0kh73Ke
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ3GkqrSIb

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdaj2xKHeM

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrycpxx26Vr

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqkXgiMhdI

"You heard me," said Lee looking down on me, with an annoying look on her face. "Are you going to sit here the whole day?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQnmnZLUOY

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzHGVFb3ft

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp7nGR30Nf

"Lee!" I whined, putting1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n4HQBn3Zb
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVUQErrEnp
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV11WNw1Jps

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqBA4yIemB

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFsSmhdFQT

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTqQ2hckvv

"Why? I want to stay here."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug1A4o837P

"I need to go and shop 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrywqx30XqT
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nj8xg8lWI
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUEKADG1Sh

"But watching YouTube 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWTh1J6Qup
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9hav20sA3
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZY8LybNqn

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpfpJ4kwLz

"I think Lee is right, 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A7qj4xcpQ
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdN8LM0k5R
out on Sundays like you do back home."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiB9cQGQnF

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNlMIlmpUI

"I know you're a fan of 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPpGcsH5C5
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYwyd9ITn1
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1dd6G6bq6

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbcSL7GPB5

"Well, that's what 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqudfICrnix
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfEN4TiGyt
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbgaWMN5c9

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk20anpEORg

"That's what we are 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94mY1lPS7E
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DlOdSNCkg
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJaHoiMHyc
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDFgr8Lfe2

Daniel's right. I had to1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElqPzw54Fp
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa2zUoAtxb
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gCTv3GHHU
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjSeuW297b

Unlike the others, Lee 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq8TksTwKM
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN80GPOxlq
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUErYSgIU3
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gvcb3KhpH
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAshMVyYXX
and Zoey together.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v5YssYvln

I really wanted to tell 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kpLMA8KGZ
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pLmwBVLbp
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3RIzTqoeA
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J6RRZ3nUk
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KUzTkVpwD
When was I ever going to change?1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcsotQIoSl

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAxpqcfu5G

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb5NBdtbDs

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7jVwbxvLr

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDiON2NaSw

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCFpt4fIdZ

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkADyQOEFF
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xy6smpix6
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UQ79Huecg
my room to get my shoes.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly5hx5vZXL

After I wore my white 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2JyATim66
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpCsPeqy9y
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqRIFzp0ta
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLndRfH0pw
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nzxuOi4rZ
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCkBsbxk7t

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzgwh0R5Zi

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNmdLMKTb4

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP9h6zR1QI

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8YQTESoHs

"We can go, now," I told her.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk68mCrGrrb

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqaYpVELI0

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67yJbK2spp

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3DJjz8r1N

I smiled back at him. 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tWMWwwkOk
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxqBydzxJI
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIjOmFCSD1
guards in the other SUV.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopU3V6SrVs

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb4XmzvJnx

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUpQTDlDzC

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc2Xqr1Peh

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYll2ix14i

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcECgCFpSjf

"To the mall," Lee answered.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYswto6CHRH

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0rbVM46TI

"What's wrong with the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrJuINp3Us
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YBMHjowZq
best plans just come out of the blue."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcVeInuT6v

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0qcg5r6DH

"And waste the day away? No way."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fjWmMMlpk

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx1v0EXdHc

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h0n3mcTdv

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjTwfeeIbf

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ztSt2lZTN

"No. Zoey might have 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUQPjQ9bFZ
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UtueSF3dk
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2SOVgLxqb
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nusDaf0Eq

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vEl2MSB1L

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJpors8rEY

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN99ZNzntPu

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcElPPuiP4

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8RVzBaub4

"I don't know what to do1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0cGlbNpUn
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVpIfcsBio
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx03HBleiD
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyjnmAy2T4
somehow."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QGZ8nXZ4k

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC1JduJ4e1

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe7dZ8tZBB

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Et5kv6fX

I folded my arms as I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfHG4TKm4q
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ihqw9kAS
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wy0HLrANH
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GXb71iDKW
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡion37u72Ro

We soon reached the mall1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hu5UO68de
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETDONWBgba
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepJL5xjHRt
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4GYRTtIqY
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXbGmopB6i
the bodyguards were around.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNFZP2298P

Lee and I first went 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUBZ5wYGX1
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf3UeUzLFA
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6lYSH9pUP
a while. I was having fun.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylCKQk3vEr

And when it came to the fans, some were brave enough to go past the guards and come take photos with me and take autographs.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x4A7nPH3P

Lee and I soon came out 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXEhV6lSVO
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsppWb0Z4HQ
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy3a94H864
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutFtNwFtaC
our bags because we bought way too much.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlZQ5iIpNe

When we walked out of 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvATF57rX9
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6S5GTVAPP
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUPQTTe9zJ
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoIq4lBnn4
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS4np5A4WP

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV2nBFCwwj

I couldn't answer Lee. I1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLONFQ7Pc6m
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtri57RKgo1
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kcPj6VWlH

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSbdWeQY7D

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBN9x6nRvt

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96VF6prZdi

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx2vEKFb7e

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdos9I4OQsM

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ntzKko60

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniEWcZ0rH4

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ITGyCPEOu

I looked at each and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi08HVUfg1C
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTXvfajcUz
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFAKYphKRu

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUZoWWV2Uc

"What?" Lee looked 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27CB78dHnK
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPPCKmU1jC
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmJNhBGQri
panda."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsRe1ToIrZ

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJR4w6SHNm

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpLSivAUax

"Derrick's brother sent 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvfjEnYNAp
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez3LdntmN7
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY4wTphJCf
bear."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ4EP1BfSo

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdJDoZqT7W

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVXnzJY4ur

"I don't get it though."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkbWbUkrbI
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFEA1WbegR
so concerned about that small teddy?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oaxOpF3Mp

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ZRqYDQpA

***1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73H6jP2ftd

Zoey's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2GpbArkDl

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp7lH8PBvW

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS7264y2yt

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNPTn0Y8Rn

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqsOJRXDkC

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwewPAh1cA

"You moved out of the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnwheadVpS
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84fHGNxmGZ
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG4fYm33fH
of alien or something."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWoarYWtDW

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGObbq0NvU

In a quick flash, a 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjB4f2l6jh
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChCPwpgirP
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6gblvfiiU

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AsxrZPwoM

"Do you want more of 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwf4bWETc9
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswRceu5icd
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqT97rCaW0

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS0ATMA4Wj

"You got that right." 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbutCiGeA5
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhpFeVWWTa
ignore her like you're doing forever."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IbexhMuzp

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO4t3CKsdJ

"You know that sooner or later you will need her. And besides, she is always going to be around whether you like it or not."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSJAj81aeh

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFHgfv7jlM

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEcgweyqhN

"It's normal for someone1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgeT2dy8u4
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38hpZx3TbH
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTJiFKqhVd
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWuF7OPuo3
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAw2FLennS
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg6OkX6S55

I always hated such kind1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8WOTt7ZdX
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOzxZvaUPW
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI4TCP2hm3
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfbdM6VgX6
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHpQNRjeND
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi7JFZPQ3Z
nothing.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXX4I03brc

I've never told anyone 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ga1wY9zwZ
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOHY7QASOP
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgT7ERKz1j
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrH0Kdcnne
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrJBl9cF72
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2TYrQRpsh
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUXNQaonEl

I am Yin and she is 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG8O0LKdUv
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr1JbivFx2
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uD1lHB0iH
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfQKSXpbTM
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAE63EAl3b

And now when I needed 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASkuZDzHzw
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z2gErR6bB
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuW3Z7FURS
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNOHSk25zt
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ641GJhKFB1
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvdKeIPTAA

It all begun when I went1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VijHp0aoh
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtoyNkRtuu
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2aMj3wEOz
this mess.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWkfEcGhl4

We were having so much 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnDblWbhOm
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu14FHSEtVJ
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmWqENDxMC
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWpzExH4jz
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5XDnwjq1w
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEqOQYZ8Pz
things did go wrong.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHPYtLeQ2F

As we were watching the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKASWaB0Ti
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuWc0jSCCP
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8MzjoWHOs
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelAJYdjW0E

When I looked at him, he1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eVLpCxxEz
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX1Y4r44dc
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XCaX2ti4r
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI7cmjb1Z7
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0CmFzjO7s
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx6nnTv69F

After the show when 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqjqRSBEsN
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeEqTbaaWg
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus84L0xgp2
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzixM5t0Rbn
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnGvSxDCwE
take a few minutes.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZvASbTrIE

I didn't find anything 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrjRMvvZZj
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlhJZtxMdt
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKFryL5xLf
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuR9W5RgRO
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zFfewEfv3
too much.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAftyEBpy4

Jehan led the way out 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVmHFR8AdM
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB2to4zBaW
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIEVgP0Td3
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4JcLpQp4k
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yy55gkb7Y
that I felt a little safe.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChKv62cLHZ

The two of us soon found1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq9bJ4Ockx
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm221vcwdB2
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBJCmaOIR9
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTTRRwY9wH
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq906Chs7w
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq75idwOdG
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvoRZEMkbH
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wkZv6qM9s
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTevtIAOEsC
menacing.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfqCvsm7eq

He gave me something for1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI3rE8hnRf
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU0ERrCb5l
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHvf5q30w8
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl94TBmRJ8
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LQE454YbQ
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5HBirHE2q
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG72T82WMmp

Whatever he sent me that1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8pVTNEiUn
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNMnqje70S
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFQ3wfbAmW
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg3s6i3NMS
happened yesterday.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1swdXEAcpC

I had never been in this1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmnUk4clv0
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12g9BAR9bQ
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvoFJZgjiI
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09YBzb55kW
crying out loud. I had to do something.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUN5BYMK3c

My phone rang bringing 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rn1MOvieI
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqw5tCN7cx
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1al9AhCH4d
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3FxGguXIF

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtvDSPls7n

"I...uh, ya, I will," I said as I picked up the phone and answered the call. I could already feel myself starting to sweat.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjB1Duw0KT

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTzyKjaWDN

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKgr43xN83

I would have told him to1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6X20qLGeP
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk9r5MlhJD
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlMPD27SAj

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh66VKloxeR

"Looks like you aren't 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMvCpWKw8t
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxHBZxNc5z
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEJV9iCXQC

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9HEvra2vP

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47XdmxBpYv

"Just get to the point, 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPBDyIVhDR
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinvtnBGWFx
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXYPGa9qSA

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCect9tuK9

"Today? Are you serious?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp7B2rzTnX

"You know that I am. We meet today."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD2FB10tWn

"But where?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTpvXCMDIl

"At the mall."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f7GPT4R7X

For a moment I almost 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee0vxAiELB
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGugiqDDAV
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdcaoD3Xc8
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgcP1ve9ZZ
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHZdU7Fbce

"What's so funny?" Jehan1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0huLEvFZ7
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPX3hpzPKN
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxePwzVbqF
myself.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSagXyUwUj

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgElzAkvpwU

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi1Dn6eUJx

If he thought saying 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TdAdw4IYx
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXouYIepjgK
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoV5Oh4kxY

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh11PC1Rul

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hfAiF8cCq

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HEOo9k7td

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGArzSzGfLD

"Ya, sure."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJJJGHTJrW

Jehan didn't say 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bJRYPjNAr
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnT1v4y54r
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwyAi7FUS4
Typical.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOITnKno8W2

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m1RFYwZN1

"Oh, it was Seungri," I lied. "He wanted to see if I was free right now so that the two of us could hang out."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Qmh4q3Ws

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmfNV5rIY3

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7wnA8MNB8

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gNxxbG6fz

"Why? You think I would?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECRwlTM9YL

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOjlapIPyn

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUibJECDlL

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHS4oEVuDw

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kwL6pJ1ID

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9EiZh5X0N

"That one. Where is it?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1x1UDzGJ5

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnpXNSBVaR

"I just want to ask if it's still around. That's all. I hadn't seen it ever since we went bowling that other day."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbduF89mb9o

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy1fLDoUV7

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gUFcOZcVx

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yzhfApmgb

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKigS514Iv

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEloGGMGVO

I quietly went over to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K2dd02jmU
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgHg7yN3b5
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7wqO4bFiQ
soon.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeYCAXMAdc

I came to the drawer 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa58rfP9dO8
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfk5xQzU0C
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFfycXRaxG

I looked at her bed and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtthzR74CDP
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgYZY8rFJO
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsXNkZcFga

"There you are," I said softly as I took the teddy. "I think it's now time for you to leave once and for all."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL1fGBdRoG

I heard the tap in the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoU4W8fgSC
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08d1gjFDGv
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHbR0QAqWv
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lraWCizyz
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyczpJf5Hg

***1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTWG2VIQZP

Sam's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE451THxlMn

"Do you really think 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLcpA4fNIN
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUrxQiAWWn
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31jg3k9WNl

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5CeQ97GtJ

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP9UFoYuP0

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJL3X9sjSk

"I hope it's not drugs."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QPBTXoQDE

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppdf1A9Se9

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQceS0SQZG

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu8aSUvR2I

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3bGJ3YMga

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPy1Bii3pS

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNqyKQuAVE

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpi30nit03

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjxYRKyNqO

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRguUbNgl3

"Zoey."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkfz3XA7mH

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVsPTl7HY6
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIRMqWJI0U
they couldn't because of our little fight."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDStayFW4ka

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTZUHyWajG
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtznBmWqMpo
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXodugRdCg

I raised an eyebrow at 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFV5NdD0bs
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n6y3Wz1Nt
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihlZxSGqXy

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKzgHgqsAP
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuIYGAqITR
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7KfXCMjtU
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoB78u8Utq

"About what?" Lee asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqJ19DLLJg

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVb8oqrUtJ

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hNSBTN6BS

"But today might be the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7UH3Z5h8x
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLqdrIUWNF
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgNAqeSJTU

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iLHzYv9re

My heart rate quickened 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxUnbHkIJB
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WoLFwtPIK
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ubdJxDm6M

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgInleNhWN

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fyo6ZDJnO

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY3Dv6YgBx

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVL7MDPrGZ

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LTnR7VVHz

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGQNbJYrRV

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvTPHb3uBq

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZW0GWmSrn

"Alright, thanks, 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsZtNriMP2
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy1jRD4UU6
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq32wwlFLX
Seungri."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA9n0rMI1V

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIKglzUlTh

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ2uEcIVgf

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiamzSMGj9

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxJgB7Lr2T

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6StmnyEBjJ

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXkgGZbPiO

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vaxU5TCfi

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bv82bg7EX

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNMAXDZ7Sj

"Yes, I am." I could 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmcIU362Ru
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYwrdpwQQW
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDM9ocsgJA
perhaps?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMjQKA0WBK

I rolled my eyes and as 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJELj1lbRY
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIBOnKbYYI
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3q0vKNqVm
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpFc7Bs02D

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Oj6PNDYp

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZFukMfAUM

I bit my lower lip and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2oytODSIP
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JQdxcXFeM
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX6msyYNln

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct54U4NHzs

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CS5aYiNOK

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy8CqRGUQ1

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesGujGiOS9

"Bye."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEk8kFPaNF

"Bye, my little kitty."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMdeMJwd7W

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMdVbgQqKJ

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tYxdIt9u1

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4AvO7FzKE

"Nope. And he isn't 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYayLLCjmu
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNZd97CqRL
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmrVhaX8fY

"Oh." Lee took her smoothie and sucked on the straw. "Umm, what are we going to do now? We have to know where Zoey is."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmj5sdtj0v

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchGlBmv8kB

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3C2LDyQkR

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdTPjGMSMZ

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXrV4eocTT

"Tell me about it." I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLTuqZpiy8
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMyGWD1ho6
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvRfEkdtWn

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssihrwgJZp

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvSJYGzH7g

After we were done with 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9JpTG7biT
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqS7Xs6Pxj
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn1zmVUGpG

As soon as we walked out1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXekxsKmHT
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F7cyRs5Jz
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceQ9YpCBZP
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWxH6RFz0N
looking black suit stepped out.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qtportkFq

Time seemed to have 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTHzdTf7fm
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiwIkUAXwh
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOA7TKDudi
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQXLiH7KGc
something familiar about him.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzvZyJ7R1Y

Just as I was about to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJvknppAt7
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjMcClQnpZ
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYJXhmfA7W

I almost tripped and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqZQ1X1d8N
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlEn6S1tjc
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTph1Oxfqmo
me from falling.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGtAyDb1LP

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbet1r7cME

I didn't say a word as I1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElLOAzmb2K
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvDwindTGH
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRaThiUdA3

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqbkjz9W20

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOuspd3Af9

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2negmeoAmq

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMNGODfs25

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUeqL91sEI

Narrator's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6481eqjioM

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB8caxWS4s

"Hey guys, am here," 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlFLS0Rrqd
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGtwHK78go
look downcast as though someone's just died."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Dg4CDsiN

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVKin7RIrC

"This is getting real 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1ueRijG2o
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzQRZMITUJ
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbVhNfYiNy
her or with anyone of you."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmklk1St17A

"No, I think now is the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S6ZnE1Bte
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijegEWYxl6
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r0fmDzCCr

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyuXGBZyXb

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NoDHSfVYV

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rypUCdjgi

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiLG3M6ji3

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Isk9u6B4

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwLYsx8EhD

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2ozQktEXr

The others rolled their 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1myxym1vz7
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cm00aq2GA
around and now wasn't the time for it.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAc8o8Sd2r

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDEwzuIezG

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOL8OCiEaT

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMXg2srof0

"Well, maybe," said 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rb4nuCou7
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EZArpHh6H
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvOV1Ow809
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIkJdXeiIe

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4edoOKBhO

"When I saw Daesung and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ44ZsJziA
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPARpeZJe5D
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl9oVEUlXV

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12df8GGKav

G-Dragon didn't answer 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmWc3NjbaW
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY7w0n0Yyw
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VnmsDCOXZ

"Oh, I get it now," said Seungri, as he looked up at the ceiling. "But I see no reason why Sam could be in the wrong here."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnWaqtLP8j

"What do you mean?" 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbtYK96O9D
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3nfiw5p4g
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJhFp0X0Ey

"She was just doing that1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZeor71Mer
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetQRAZxkEE
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN1BbFGtYo
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA1m58AnGm
be together."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIUxvemqEJ

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDrAltksMI

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjup8ISryPB

All the four BigBang 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7YgIVGmxO
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfQXuw6EVF
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTslqecRgL
heard him come in.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmmDNYXRlp

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnSXyLzFcB

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLJMyKQycv

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yLc1SYGAg

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfZwE4aXdT

"I'm not going to stay 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr1CDqpHoV
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOBUKFBqyH
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYrLI1p60K

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnDikPh6Vu

"No, I don't."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRV7tZowlX

Before G-Dragon could 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtymkcyLcBg
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgBx6tduzH
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqzQyfmsL9

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfki8Cigqng

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61iFsvvvDk

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlruQNDTOa

G-Dragon folded his arms1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67di8hxYsw
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hwwHjinoI
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuVqnMpvlG
stared at the ceiling.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIr3ERq47n

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc0t8babkm

Daesung came into the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0d7lpJjnr
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRaizS9d9l
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5clSqpo2G

"Look, I know you're 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUNfJHmbhz
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN4p8xD9Sl
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCAKcAwAD4
never told me anything either."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM9Ij8VcIo

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCUsAzQHz9

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFcybNm7OS

"Why?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPE8JtFIPJ

"She just felt like it 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduPT4wmpKO
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsgykmYPYU
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjykeyaBdo
long distance relationships will ever work out."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlGcfR733i

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUhOQigGnu

"Because I know I'll 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz5dwjmF3h
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWySB6pICW
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsDvO3Lmq8
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwshbqNhk0V
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAAGTUGKBZ
want to hurt anyone either.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKGZF9KJo4

"Maybe that's why she 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzO540tgkD
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw66FcjSubX
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0JmobOcIU
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtPbrI9tka

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL18vhanjA

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBwsmULfU7

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccDbmh4BQO

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleP2jsJIOP

"I know."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZB4zJqbhV

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf84jDCwnT

"I'll think about it."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUWukWlJT5

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUCL0fFBgp
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqCXJvdzFt
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFOf1C8pYZ
the mall."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Kq7e4I67

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7xrOb1BeP

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio1OHd2nmX

"Ya," said Seungri, 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLvf5cEMG3
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXZyNDv6Rl
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC5BYgqYds

"No way! I'm not going to the mall," said G-Dragon. "What am I going to say? I need more time to think about it."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hnqafn3DN

"There is no time to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr0xbFpOfW
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcveMcb5jSb
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4RJ7LxPlK

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU4d84sqQL

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeBbXyso44

"We're your best 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhxyD7KOLg
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUL0GJbeTO
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1GcOGvkgv

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mVmWN3WPi

Zoey's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xmcd5VO4f

I came out of the black 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquvIlGQF97
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe3fHQHx8U
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5eDhviiCh
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUxEu8bIGx
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LHUOxEnCx
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dc2VQZLHa
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG7YgVPCxF
by my fans.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6ThUb7uF3

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV7iSUnBiY

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNgKiuIfPE

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBrWQsHmxh

"Okay."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8vhYedn0v

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu3VCopk5r

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7I0sS6abu

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRvu1ONBcu

"Well, I'm glad you 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR2QDD1HiR

from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNuVhz6zP9
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcq46TTVUh

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclYCt19adB

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLFwfV1Qzt
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVxRfaWxjc
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGyG7TDTTK

When I went into the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWG2v7WdCL
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYvWILHXQ1
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPLb1nnGbd

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFZR4CRJG9

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrB3U5ImMc

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdrk3VcNjp

I shivered. Despite his 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DuGMxRTzs
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgHcSOjcqT
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GIroBGVYy
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnsOMlLMqL
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc6fafp65c

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntOIZbCkhJ

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l56RN3wQE

"Why do you need to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpCbuyfF9m
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoepJ1e1J1
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr10FsaYo8p

"Well, I need to know 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrcajeDrMQ
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPXo0kYeWk
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgBgJNBjTG

"And tell me, why should1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Be5nBIIW
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R6rtDyaNu
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4byPRxiZi
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqF6dkLCCw
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oUXgt11PG

"I...eh..." I looked him1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8TJfVCNQh
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTV6LcJnWV
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUciBLTTclv
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOwRRQgEa6
the kind who would send such a thing."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXHY8OoWbz

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmEz1uabM9
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA6n6TTELM
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr15mFW6TM4

"I don't know." I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjksCMz1WS
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kcoX4Xi44
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkf1PrCrbd
up to?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAMiJka8QV

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29XQ02XTtd

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfst0SGSnL

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHVRvGttUv

"What's the matter with that?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrJPOtWg4Q

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9qdN6rCKK

"Don't test my patience,1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb4Cuz9ycm
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLef57ab1RS
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCLyo9ZVJp
think you deserve to you know."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTlNqbliSo

"Well, yes, I do."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPagboBKJz8

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5RVXv5Cqj

***1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhu96625cZ

Sam's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJzin9nnWZ

I could see Zoey from 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWsMYL3UId
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ9Ixa7y9k
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNydzIgZsc
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwrAprJ7jb
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SY5dQwKOB

I was entirely grateful 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VVaURygQM
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6iVkrQD2X
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tVbqUI547
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8XMHS84qm
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFe3ng5Q4z
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lTiAmvnUZ
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN9LPFvotK

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJyQsbpYAj

"Believe me, he is," I said as I looked at a nice beige top on a hanger and then took a brief glance out the window.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Hb3kY0G0

"But how did you know 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8AjI1mmke
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedbfgN7lZQ
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3mlDQZd42

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzPYIG3vkx

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwFwyarnW8

"Well, ya," I said as I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONQrCGxtvo
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgJTWQ3Ms8
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZngc0DNHn9
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN07iEhVBLR

Lee turned to the window1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsascGxrc9s
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxtgAOYe6C
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vu6eXXNdg

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5uTvT7rJC

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnPGfDXD9z

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC8wsHsyOJ

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bti8Ch2sg

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAeQGcJ5Ej

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWuYvchwZQ

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBocSyV3zu2

We made sure to keep a 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9l0nhsQTy
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbsWPjUuoI
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyaEqYwHtV
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ontFPG3Pg
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJMo9ATExN

They went down the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7cfHaUChR
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVpefaBo9Y
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHvkiK1ifT
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IL4gDHDEl

They were led by a 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT8qylMAt1
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5JQhaaPry
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCltDiPPng
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsWIVYtL32
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TTNimVOjA
restaurant.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHadPJO1hG0

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzHolftF6r

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmCdCH9zra

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysGUR1AqS2

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAXglaD3LV

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivYSm0bGM1

"Me neither. But what to1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FRIkHCCKo
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctQV9U01rH
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIRyH1V8vX

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheWseL1Q2j

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ksZX6bPom

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNaxgYjJm0

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN8eKjHeJ3

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNYAyGI2RG

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyqYK7xosU

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKtCPDi7mZ

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt089Tq9So

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFs6IBnYp0

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmspgdUYCND

"Don't worry. Seungri 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84KdwEldo5
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViWHOwOm5B
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn93Fkptoqy
and she will know something fishy is going on."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyWuNmkq8E

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoFFnLjMGq

"I hope so too."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpJhYFSolj

Zoey's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtxtAe0JkH

I looked at the menu and1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WOn0ol9mv
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qsj7QClag
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZTwRhLnyX
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDqDyBy1Zb
looked up at me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOU6LVfZx3

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCcKXptoPN

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr7xPUsW9l

"Why?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblOwdK5DpL

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx3AlIY6KI

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQOTCGotkB

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVTylofapc

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdvNXaMYkL

"What?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtAu72bh35

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17BLi3661N

"I'll try not to next 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ32WzcIQSY
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEajOR4sbRg
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB5WtsIFc9

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gqKYCcNtj

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAQiPakBUm

"Not tell anyone."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSq8JuScbI

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoj1DgsLLN

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOVJ04jDNq

"I smuggle diamonds."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBAFON39Ph

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2iHQ4qwpL

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bvKKo0l6D

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTIrgmXeKs

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu7F3ULLxJ

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2umApIK08I

The waiter came with our1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSXHuhypMC
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU8hnob9nJ
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7G5ZQnCPi

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsdc1mb8ic

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3fV2Ny5hD

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrO34Cj7w6

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8oLX2K3ZX

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW3U8H4lP2

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtntrSs96yP

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KQUo6YQwz

"Is that why you're so rich?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkd59gqRuY

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh423GOyMY

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWnuDW7Cfx

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VHirCxNdQ

I gulped. He was giving 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBnxAjTGoR
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRERnIxNGa
manage to get out of this lunch, alive.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcouR3dpXie

Sam's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNBI1y1wdn

I was waiting by the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgRSSHLY7K
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL31MBwKowj
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYItc2UB4m
car? What was he doing here?1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUQIim2ZMb

Seungri came out of the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf597Er7Vk
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZQzGAQqs7
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpbL03Gne1
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpV5hDmeDQ
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMbRZdr9ju
what I was expecting.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz21mccNwlV

I trembled. What am I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSuuAE2tXb
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVvOH2YN0s
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PrzBFPasv
give Mr Teddy away.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsislNWaYC

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lTZg6hGYZ

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6FY5nortt

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSMaMU6rrd

"I, no....I," I didn't 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a0chGKWua
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC9vauoXX5
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzoevv37HA

"I was only expecting 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcAy49Jogn
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIFNxNzJQ5
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMfh7IR8Ki
seeing the two of them together.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzWczXrrB7

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDl7fsnQcy

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHxIDi0XSj

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y9PkFW2eK

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchX8q4FHMD

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4pgOwxXbQ

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM4NQGJKwI

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dO2FF2tpk

"Come with me," I said 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0cjdjLBV9
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kjOlehEZI
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQoxLJlUWR
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBTenlUHhJ

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUqXHhPgk3

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaKqMrE6Db

"Hi, guys. You're 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjp26Sxk4H
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtd4jmYQvv
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE9pKAzywJ

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6BwE6NmsR

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL0dWSkcGr

I could feel Lee's eyes on me and I could tell she was scared of telling them the truth. So, I had to do the talking.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PZLWJgNEz

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNrgfYOiGK

The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMoTGNdGg3

"Well, if you look into 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72SjY17TAv
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5g0sHamsx
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeJjiNhPyB

The five all turned to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2b5bv22xn
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWpqc4pIDS
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKcF8P0FKK
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcIllle31U

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25avWKPTb6

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkymOWwKVU

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5kDAawdyB

"Yes, I do," said G-Dragon looking through the glass window. "We met him at the fashion show. I'm surprised why he is here."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Jwbx8gX0

"We were also wondering 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYea6FeUWc
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLNrf6KU2a
them, but decided that I would rather not."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXO5VaKXWS

"Why?" Daesung asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AFq450Eql

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6hT041Fw8
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmjal28R2I
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cdP3L38Y9
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfaovTh94w

"Aww, so sweet of you to think I could solve that out for you, my little kitty," said Seungri with a smile on his face.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPIATBAZfc

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AcNEYxtrH
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUOx7DsdJD
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4GT15eIfW

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ah31KEwoQ

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvW2Z2HD4F

Everyone turned to look 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUEPdbzKTN
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMnkL67wmr
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskT1Tvh2Du
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1aU9L0jqw

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWumWjBhlsi

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr0Ev9vD8N

"Here you're now 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBLof9888c
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiw6k1TVrv
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWF7DrL9S6

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2B9ihJcOx

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5WctHVBVB
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzKUJh6pDt
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIw6JrSjo5
something, quick.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubKn5fYAeI

"Okay, fine, we will 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZqaOJMICr
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKchcqkSMjq
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGXIzrjlk9

Yes. Finally. I thought 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY6wlbsf9n
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlt2kcnOho
everything was going to be delayed.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVsp4HpPEk

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3J3zj3rbV

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ960pWGEk4P

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOeFXUhKBl

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpH5X5WykR

As much as I wanted to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CHm5HwZOj
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxknGtaACR
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb9ZI1utr5

***1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPEEp0DNhk

Zoey's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQmt05WxfT

As much as I tried to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m7DAbRJWL
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7xMDIE8rK
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteoLwUBBJN
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeaF1Havjg
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq1gNSYbBL

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O3YUJTF7x

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEmbdtDYSm

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FC6mWJwqc

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHdZsSId3o

"Looks like you're getting all worked up for nothing, Zoey." Jehan got a napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfenzVu2ih

"What do you want me to 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGDrmBKR1U
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GqVuzvlil
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0hgXX7EWv
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CQ11b5P2F

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SSljakfc8

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmiBmuiRbi

Jehan shook his head and1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j82ldxma3
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqtCJ2jYPt
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldjBly6nAS
annoying."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIWiJe0CQF

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrmoNwM43S

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNMXGX5uQY

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdSW6AJeEX

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYFGPhQGXC

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbc9QieQZn

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh6VsmhbAQ

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanu2fMePQY

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5sg6wZ3Zz

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGaiWPvw0N

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnMwNVqxsw

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhUAZpdRmy

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77S1Cjo9hC

"Yes, for real."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh8Lgucpmz

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSrwgz2IIR

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLFYY5F5yh
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwb1ECBBuR
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIctPAQGyqy

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjXa4z6OT4

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzZji6n8qZ

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs8YwF98NB

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCaorGeSdj

I took a deep breath. This was it. Once I give him the teddy, it will all be over and I can finally be in peace.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUDHxCXRO7

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXPPlHKYN4

"Zoey, hey!"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUc8WKQZYS

Seungri? I quickly 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXYgBc7EdE
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMmSu22xrt
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2AwyQnRfF
here?1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxV0wX9yaS

They came over to our 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0bz9Dh8zG
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCw6KbwFvP
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvBnVSzIRb
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGvdlqOwbU
to do now?1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53bDVkhQbv

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD3v3oumR2

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMq77HEegi

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8oZGqavzx

"Jehan."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3JfnzarpE

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Y39Jx2wE

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrIeuT16jq

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5AVA0lgqX

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7JEEXovKo

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNXZHY1KkI

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOaH1uEg8w

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAIP6PILDm

I almost spit out the 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKTP6HwPZP
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6PJeB3ZIJ
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT9EbaKBMY
to water.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJPtDMjG3k

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqlo9VrYYf

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cw0ewygQe

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72p8pLnyiP

Jehan looked at me and I1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNAdVHk5N2
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQPlpoMvQZ
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ6uh02rfz

"May I ask what you're 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao1mXATq2a
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEntAyurj4Z
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMITYD27vHm

"Oh, we just came here 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfPKCjZ6UY
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz402s7UdH4
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMp3Z76ZBe

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i0zLb4Q2H

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeqJkzPsGz

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8WQVdblw2

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V1lqwNO5O

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedOjzFCpkN

"Yes, we will," said 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrmhZPfG39
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhVNbRcaWX
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeeCat3l74

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMN9altnuI

"You too," said Seungri.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CYudivnSq

Jehan gave a small smile1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tJDxrrcSw
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q0jIXqmlQ
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7N0SHw6oP
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX6LiwHXFO

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ljAbhpzFL

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPkljyyxOs

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsZFjudtmP

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxczVLCmwc

I wondered how I was 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl3b74xPgN
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uY4JHBU0a
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr50i3RStC
head until I give the teddy bear away.1209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtalOUaAD3

This was just great!
