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 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqtgjKaeOY
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWncjOWvNR
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLxZzVsvKR
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0S9dEzrXu
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9vSsqoA1b

Last night, Zoey moved 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FggVWVB8p
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObniaqzpq3
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVbMsg6ee1
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMNxojWhlE
talk to her either.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hlXdtU3uR

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB401sD4llR

It so happened that 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavUJf1Zdxh
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow8pbuuDH3
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqQ40EFAH7
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYtS9tpSkz
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwde3dOXIX
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZJNtDy7JB

Now, I was sitting 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHzM1n9aOk
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMzWQUPhsp
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeGdl7kWLc
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd0DYo4a8U
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQgk6IXAVg

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrjfnIGlAW

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sNqO69Iea

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq66iWyhUI

"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?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqhfKT2Cjb

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK5av9xaQ0

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAJN1d7gEG

"Lee!" I whined, putting1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBASJ1lnpqG
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8N8yz9E04
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTEHvIWb6N

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwLis0Cv0P

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡessEQFgFhC

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5xwKslCO8

"Why? I want to stay here."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKRsmyEbW3

"I need to go and shop 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xd3YVggM2
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciD5ZQBQwn
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqL3XwUbS6

"But watching YouTube 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5KcBGzbq1
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWtMu3flB0
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK955e2UVBP

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUur9pvAg7

"I think Lee is right, 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLacybtzbTy
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkpg9rA0s6
out on Sundays like you do back home."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFNGgecYOF

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvOuzwv5zJ

"I know you're a fan of 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh8iqVKQpX
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxSHMa8DZd
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeXTyB6l9l

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffVFGYRddr

"Well, that's what 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAVXL50nCq
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYnMhmarS1
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4iCT0jOz1

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKE8JAXJUF

"That's what we are 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNw6NSekjX
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVcGEuHxtS
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfcdAX6iVJ
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzscheG46YG

Daniel's right. I had to1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVacCtq6kF
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOviaqJNRW
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O9PRalP1V
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFLGUF4EYO

Unlike the others, Lee 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeSn214XsJ
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDLJCQaboK
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL7l2ZLbRj
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ5JLzqotG
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpHlmD47bY
and Zoey together.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNxIyAgtiF

I really wanted to tell 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjHgUvd3Md
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdCV8p1ZAn
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUhjxykUe8
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC5H2uwM4w
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72PhXu32J2
When was I ever going to change?1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6E7PL31mi

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggxqIiDUEX

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDMiWE1sHs

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb470sgsfam

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JzDwdKEeU

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyyIL2EyMd

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppDy3aGe3G
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfM6qdurvY
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTC1x2zCjV
my room to get my shoes.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmd2tECBtJ

After I wore my white 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7t0AveijM
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjQlbQioHq
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPOkcRtsce
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4lkhb7aWD
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5IkRF3fBo
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmIo2Ytbn5

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw9wDJqgww

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1WHyon2q9

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8bFXTOdMh

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrklr2ZPHyW

"We can go, now," I told her.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMi6DOuGp3

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxycTeqqb0

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOuMdS3qTo

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ410x16zQwz

I smiled back at him. 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EVn18sdV3
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44pNMGky4H
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAYRUQtWGx
guards in the other SUV.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0g0mn13Jn

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshO0pWRf1s

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9vWC9gIFE

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelxYa4BJaV

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ScvBIK4oA

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZkVrt0dk4

"To the mall," Lee answered.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEwtdFab8E

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOhDLk92y7

"What's wrong with the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvhiurDMyY
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhLRAaaeyh
best plans just come out of the blue."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx5MIBe2I5

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fS82fO7s1

"And waste the day away? No way."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzHZmPDXCt

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhl9Gu8JQb

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7BnjpWhZi

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kdBEBeIaW

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntVc6CfvXW

"No. Zoey might have 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMF2YEJTtj
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1ACrxjcwl
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKtoZvGaDM
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsztLPIZ3g

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbV9Vo6s6G

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G4XPTeHSK

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmer642a14

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Cpu9qgT9

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5gmY5tHRS

"I don't know what to do1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGg7ZMY6pQ
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwzuNWYCud
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt39u1kaKi
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYNXOv0MHM
somehow."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE1O5B8eVr

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjX8qusd2q

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLYtu8tkfi

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoidDTTXZbJ

I folded my arms as I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6w1YOIalA
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPmlCG5SdN
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1FkxhbiM3
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBibG16npgR
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nAhmObY2s

We soon reached the mall1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPKjSMdqOT
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDGqXlrnKQ
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn93vDTDyB
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVck4B1EmsT
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tBlomQyUx
the bodyguards were around.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZuMz2mkZs

Lee and I first went 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqKbn0dcES
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SL4VChDx1
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfsKbXBDU3
a while. I was having fun.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vtfAP8GUG

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.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD7qjUPtWJ

Lee and I soon came out 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cMiTcjNdQ
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvRfS9fekv
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPuZdDkttl
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XmxiphvKD
our bags because we bought way too much.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprV2DQ9Q2E

When we walked out of 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrLR1uNynQ
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aglFWeSf0
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8v1XLwo92
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yvRhIYzUB
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ7hIWSWlj

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYihHs7FFn

I couldn't answer Lee. I1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49juxcVnCG
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNPeuhYPqE
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLve9MkyxO

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEAFMHpeDj

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKppK7xlUC3

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEPbH8HwGH

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3TbcjNWri

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk8JkvBt9B

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EDKvgMmv1

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B6jmqkKCK

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z1wGJhLTU

I looked at each and 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW4XYduwVL
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4LUwLfWlV
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdryQjhANth

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGYkCKDlOw

"What?" Lee looked 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wpCPrdDqo
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhmFE8bWws
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDl6gFVLa5
panda."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qoA6bqoz3

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxGAMiOwyl

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyYuLzycKL

"Derrick's brother sent 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkFcC8YE3C
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUloHbR3JcF
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5wkN4MH7w
bear."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA89CFgams

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkvDyHh4dW

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3KhGKmGL8

"I don't get it though."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6tumxhWOF
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0BGfXaKfP
so concerned about that small teddy?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG61erVEoSV

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iW8VtYv6d

***1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN1l84ZDur

Zoey's P.O.V1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjtdC8w89p

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi6Q1DFrZR

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15gDixo94Y

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuJ2zuIEiN

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkgsfaC1X9

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxofWu9v5xX

"You moved out of the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpHHeNc0uj
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8qe4sB3MX
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP22Ofw2t0
of alien or something."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BA5ETPR3z

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeyM24MdYo

In a quick flash, a 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagEQcOKg1L
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWIY4SK6Rx
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRulmyEesa

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRc2XbN47l

"Do you want more of 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebJmPERAZP
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlL752WKke
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVzKfphnJr

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9bmXYHETh

"You got that right." 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFAW01s488
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCWQ3ZA7n1
ignore her like you're doing forever."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycFBuMHHBr

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6lKDUL96E

"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."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Dd97Ug05

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsNHlVz6XM

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVrsuxIqQJ

"It's normal for someone1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gn0LTqr4g
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUpuIUCTV4
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8TkbmoqtZ
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UImCkE2Pw
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEue07PXTOu
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EFpjWpmrf

I always hated such kind1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtzluRX2vK
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q2gZnZAaz
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinRvRW6F6P
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI5GBiZIum
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2OlFoAu9L
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6BpI8Fc6P
nothing.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70CHTCsWcw

I've never told anyone 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TQjz1FSQQ
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbCzP7WSit
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lVz1LQK42
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhh9Y2XfgM
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDaL7x4Vpp
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAUnGKsmDH
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBenIIdUxn

I am Yin and she is 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIpAa3ZTQV
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8OVTV1j1y
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGLX9LZCbt
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5ZH6gGne8
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO03aVgYGV9

And now when I needed 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sizfXZZwK
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA1zdnL5TS
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtTyqVhgit
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYoefgqpg2
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BcQuCFPbO
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7olbDfbLcR

It all begun when I went1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTtNdoC37X
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw78CihG1vp
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY7Unk02eW
this mess.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWQCUoJR71

We were having so much 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vg3Sztnwh
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOn1gAIjwe
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8CCQjJxTR
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNJ7VMPejg
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5y52YV8PG
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTRkqJXKnG
things did go wrong.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jPW3qnXDq

As we were watching the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyvMsKk6eV
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaVwtgd0EW
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDaJ4764CP
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bttW3CYsh

When I looked at him, he1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovBNOSz8Gh
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGnJl2lADD
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo7WfmcjTM
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rRhv5TJmn
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7EoAOGzrJ
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDTMATZk7h

After the show when 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q6CxwiqYG
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR0Z23aE32
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnz1dIndkA
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6QI6p1Hgy
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5IaabaGsf
take a few minutes.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoo13rkMeJ

I didn't find anything 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIHcK79xro
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gWHTflWa2
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtQxS13OLr
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna1g5OcHcK
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMR22Kra95
too much.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLoOL4YPJh

Jehan led the way out 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRWcAMzT3k
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX3SA10X2k
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZFchHpTqU
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoWkrxPHiY
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3IJn9N9cn
that I felt a little safe.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKa3VBhgBj

The two of us soon found1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnBYDJzhKI
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL5FRDSbnO
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtAERsaSEz
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrSmHJdumx
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbpuPqn3bN
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmqlJQVQeo
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltIZP3G6Xk
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDCfJEnelG
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx3IK1469u
menacing.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXj7wW8eGa

He gave me something for1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mWnpD1Vqx
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHvpE7xnXY
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSH2UhHeRN
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPVvMRl5We
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQjpiscsYT
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP1USXb5gI
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmjMncakRQ

Whatever he sent me that1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G5Ms4PLus
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcWh69mRW2
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsLE2pXPE9
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVv2uiHdg1
happened yesterday.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLwhFR3zv8

I had never been in this1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1o9DuEGaW
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tPfKkWShz
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZvjIm3Ets
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBwFd5tPTF
crying out loud. I had to do something.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjCcZqWuBA

My phone rang bringing 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DKfmJm4Jk
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcjx9ontrs
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoEGioHC4u
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIV09zTnIY

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv5oKSC5eB

"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.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMPUUJbNo8

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9m6CKhF9P

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEUuRWnaRz

I would have told him to1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkt3xyHqhr
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikvw99sB0Z
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcSzdnT4GC

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HH3k29MN6

"Looks like you aren't 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl89rC9GztI
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCjaKjc0f7
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabnRO1wHX4

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fC0uIDSc3

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMiJaQStWa

"Just get to the point, 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pK2f8uiFV
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mnCtOhbU6
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vsJfHNwbX

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3tQ7Wlxmp

"Today? Are you serious?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexsuIhX1GR

"You know that I am. We meet today."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHOgpEusEN

"But where?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnNIMDYwtO

"At the mall."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI5eRKd6Wu

For a moment I almost 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgAE0ULKBM
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEVEpqrG5M
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4WsycaWXO
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07P4YhoEpq
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgH1foes0b

"What's so funny?" Jehan1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL09wdxPX9
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuUzPn9qwS
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHETAw1WPo0
myself.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70HJUqrgZs

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqDtsKOuMG

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrURr8SZphP

If he thought saying 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJomwGDt4zW
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMNNI3MDBt
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt0v5XnRZN

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk385JXUnE

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsiXgEB65t

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cXgDzUs6a

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbNNYSSAmI

"Ya, sure."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5zzbh9SWG

Jehan didn't say 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpGmcQWy0s
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmY3sMkjvg
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NZk7E2aV6
Typical.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rqFUAoySa

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPgIFo55kC

"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."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6c0ngsyRm

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv4aKKbF64

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5UGrTntmt

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iDhGuVSZF

"Why? You think I would?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVP7wITOxo

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lI8AJfVo2

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUSbG48TNS

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2abPLrd7au

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTYDpcDMrR

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrGlr4cL2b

"That one. Where is it?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouXLD8Vuts

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T1uJnHzdE

"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."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2s8gGExvH

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsMH9xf4ju

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdPI7cKRZ3

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4nQ2BqyXA

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkptzF1Kqx0

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09MqvE89L3

I quietly went over to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy7XnAabRy
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKttj69B9b5
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJNvqY8Jtu
soon.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4T44mOdKb

I came to the drawer 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7tM3BVxSP
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9C4V81nOH
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUzlL1SK5z

I looked at her bed and 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvezQi0jwjS
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG3FGRxD1F
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ907OUJ54DO

"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."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOH3I9jz5e

I heard the tap in the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEr6LqryiU
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHKiDO4Boq
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6GQYTvL0R
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GnlJPfr30
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xdgXZbhjZ

***1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lzV94yc7N

Sam's P.O.V1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLQ94pYXYP

"Do you really think 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOc4jUSKmk
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWdFz93xAt
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAIhK5YtJ3

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7bc5H5G5R

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cSmYF4mE9

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd9gxdxmKF

"I hope it's not drugs."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgmI8ARHKF

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY2IwDCrVI

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LC67TFEr4

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDqFeb5FK7

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Gd7UbBY5

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG67SsknpI

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0psdslXZxy

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqqpKNxcVh

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FEmtgzSGb

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv1PvMNnC0

"Zoey."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUuaGs0HW6

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2WkXfbync
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCmo8adJbs
they couldn't because of our little fight."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZzuGyvciy

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwJ8lR3rsx
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbX2Ig6q2y
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RaXFhMHyu

I raised an eyebrow at 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqEwJrJnwM
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpXttfLrXo
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK10d6qMiv

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVHMNBWLnC
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLyzRaCZqI
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrSruVGcAb
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ817eDZKpaI

"About what?" Lee asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eDG6EMpdy

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2H0dzFsSU

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2ynveWe37

"But today might be the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxVrzPIvlK
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvHDFRMCEC
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G8irmvRtA

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFLphuCOZ1

My heart rate quickened 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn69mPS66G
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCURPGWXoSg
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPP6dsjdyZ

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zwdDZtj2o

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5DyHocxwR

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaWGf2mTOF

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOgTpjg1jg

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekoFjhl2Fe

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMlnw8s8hb

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzJSDUmk8R

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pcKoCzVBm

"Alright, thanks, 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwNwm2dODW
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj35WFO8K0S
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56IZLHiloo
Seungri."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEfOxUmtYl

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwfGe8Mqw6

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hwAUd78Ks

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl7gb14qkI

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjrl4DwoVt

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ovIxVer5E

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqZ1LyTVsh

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueZY8jDTsY

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnXw7vHDmZ

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7nEn8HhuU

"Yes, I am." I could 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MK0H4TMwq
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvuT230NG2
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NzcuqAvIy
perhaps?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8yD4XWZM2

I rolled my eyes and as 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVwaoPIbd2
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZa7lcirUp
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7AryXY9Vp
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPzDoGUorp

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJeemO1BtE

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4Lzxx9FL4

I bit my lower lip and 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVImg0FwZK
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDavr3ro3u
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKpIUsKc40

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Gvtqr6bw

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjr3s82Qgc

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyjFdi6kPC

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwfh4jM8R6

"Bye."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOk2MfmObu

"Bye, my little kitty."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBO0lPO4ab

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWXinup2Nu

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwvmiuUnFk

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtSeR4JyLk

"Nope. And he isn't 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9ptzhEpeV
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc1sgduNui
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCltftscTUf

"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."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV3MpZRyDp

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwPrZpYT7Q

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcAyFi5MGh

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaId8qRvoE

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtONp2M18u

"Tell me about it." I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0fQrSti8d
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMWeKda7oL
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkH3WHWa9B

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ4HyGYJFP

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEUuXpDq9c

After we were done with 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNKhuWvER9
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbFPcyaoFR
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjxCXcEVS4

As soon as we walked out1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfmbWoqtpJ
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlrOh48wh9
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphuKvt61ah
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfbk0PsumK
looking black suit stepped out.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQt1AhBsbM

Time seemed to have 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlxBaWLAVe
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAzuRgfF3h
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ4jtbqjAQ
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAjaYnldxt
something familiar about him.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfUrfxj5V4

Just as I was about to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXfO2lmYKW
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39PE52reGz
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYXhyhfxPG

I almost tripped and 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNmnPog7wn
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacSphGgEeY
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgWnScMTGw
me from falling.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluvzYIvnLL

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPYfrH8mbf

I didn't say a word as I1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfcTWL0syY
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0m31Kpthc
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5H0BJmDDL

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY99VYye85

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV45FINk3cT

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoICbQZSLI

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AwzUexglY

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOMhfcQMkL

Narrator's P.O.V1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhB3DsnNxC

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrErF6t1aZ

"Hey guys, am here," 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Yb5qp9nh
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPWndiiQAA
look downcast as though someone's just died."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqgVy5kDAq

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SRWVUXRYK

"This is getting real 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgwQA6rDtW
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClOHc4GAfm
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmrx7fc2ZA
her or with anyone of you."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3otevrvsS

"No, I think now is the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUjgKUsUVF
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNpLQhfcD3
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7ZQ3s16mZ

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5myj2P9LiC

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ774kPVwaHs

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXZVY0gyhi

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2bVrvPHif

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnUJToykFd

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbB7S1sJty

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqALF6W1hkN

The others rolled their 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWjSbOr03K
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaoSqloNQY
around and now wasn't the time for it.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfhfEkYDsl

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlzb5Wilib

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1423bOlTC8

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9bR9SRhpN

"Well, maybe," said 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAbQ3P0kwS
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYpqwJvQDS
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMR5Q5r7Fh
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwmbMGwbkK

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqCfzuYpOi

"When I saw Daesung and 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOAx8rUAa5
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Ay0OFidn
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoE8fNC2Ze

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCt8x8nHxt

G-Dragon didn't answer 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtOI3gkGV0
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSgMmw6yfe
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk0CJTPrsy

"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."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfJ6vLAx9d

"What do you mean?" 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA878bmNVe
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4L9SNw0Gd
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEWz7CuhWK

"She was just doing that1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLamX8ZGRmc
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH9XqwQAUY
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryGJRkNUgz
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVrePQ99tJ
be together."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XWguT6jrT

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFZv0tVUc6

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhqJvkkbGG

All the four BigBang 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEdaon9kDA
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWQr0GOYPx
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNuKHU5SDc
heard him come in.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE3xsnvWrv

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWhtW3cOFg

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNsNGvQ6z0

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlduMZCFvr

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz9K3GUu8y

"I'm not going to stay 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qCfvTcXqT
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfpUjSY5xL
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRKeKugaiD

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JzIPC3wXG

"No, I don't."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaxnDXMPBr

Before G-Dragon could 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeSnYIbR9Z
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E8eFnX5gN
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9FiQcDCzF

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGLy00sXAu

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfQ16RRsrc

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKncfJBzv5n

G-Dragon folded his arms1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tWXx03Mlt
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxjovUupJt
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z8uEe4XAd
stared at the ceiling.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkXgimmj2C

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUPfW66yVu

Daesung came into the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3ce3g92oG
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVC26xRGL8
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu55GZs6o1a

"Look, I know you're 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWhuZOy25o
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP4GylAyk9
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcNJ6kLRR5
never told me anything either."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt6wxdDe4H

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMtNtaRokh

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8c0y31Un3

"Why?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLPj8i27nF

"She just felt like it 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2XqakrAyE
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMNKPCNSTZ
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxonL2ocTE4
long distance relationships will ever work out."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwwMOJMBTH

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pvmm7KtkW

"Because I know I'll 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQITNr6a7bV
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N7EILTx1G
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWOsFBd2s6
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIkJDtXAD3
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDaufqj56p
want to hurt anyone either.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKp0XeUIFu

"Maybe that's why she 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN4fXpihdr
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBGr2KCvFf
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k2P82xxsE
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOuKphJnGC

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdfnKP6BIK

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUJq9MPNqU

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBg2LZ3uej

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR9AMKoDBj

"I know."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRbxkOhuBz

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQfA9v7Fxy

"I'll think about it."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSEacLD81K

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CeUOJH9jH
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmrod5mGua
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu4eusBAvn
the mall."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQsTMnbvCT

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr4gygA6KY

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8eomIBj2K

"Ya," said Seungri, 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtat0Ny7On6
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLcLD7ShFQ
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vl9uFLdh7

"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."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf3gJoOSMc

"There is no time to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JHbzDz3qZ
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspSYGbthfW
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49BZ5V7Utp

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQvirL9PHJ

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKggfihK7C7

"We're your best 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvCoOcrLwm
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaesEVpAbTQ
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB2AfxxnpN

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscVnErbCs6

I came out of the black 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPAaxBSWSy
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsUEb3Psf9
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z8k2C3vFs
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY5oUCrdX9
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFDUmIUuhw
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVssVB1WrQA
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP73bvL3mw7

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeja4Vh44hI

"Okay."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7ruU3SC2x

instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oMn9cfiA8
lot smarter than you think."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4q39piXLz

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZkSWhwwyQ

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWP7mbaUo8
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCaymmVwiy
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLMwnYfyEd

When I went into the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2zE0GHHXr
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6nkzZL9Kg
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJk4wNYEsG

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1OMAY8kfa

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuTIoBmPOE

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqPhCWJSTQ

I shivered. Despite his 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwrfxdIaUk
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d9SWbOEPG
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNZTHBCyMd
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD79hUaqAVE
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuVdtg3fQZ

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjzNSrAuWZ

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBOcjlFfCi

"Why do you need to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY17J695Pcs
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50NFrXrnmI
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXj92ssioP

"Well, I need to know 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXMnQ1gQxn
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqRyowbEua
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdcAFSsFaU

"And tell me, why should1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4FlA575Jy
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue8vN9q6gi
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayAqqVNrNA
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXrV0h1iFH
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifrbkNAwzy

"I...eh..." I looked him1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21APWNYBjV
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbSKj3meOB
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBriaB6s2v
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8PMaa7iIZ
the kind who would send such a thing."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwLIycDKKl

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6YBRVRnvp
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbujikz80X9
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjrRGjiYj1

"I don't know." I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZmJxJ6dxw
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2T4PfILaq
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1OzuX0cuB
up to?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAQYJBtQvz

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAkYdbaMW9

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE10UdzXOK

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6ROQUqmwj

"What's the matter with that?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuhmm5213F

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43QPQrRkri

"Don't test my patience,1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP8KUVI04Q
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBnQdpFlsr
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LiH74bLbm
think you deserve to you know."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcMfg1qr7E

"Well, yes, I do."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyP6wz7CVU

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ928gEMjQVM

Sam's P.O.V1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bu3YCHt1L

I could see Zoey from 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bAhGcAFth
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVIEFPMBIV
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd60PpBc4il
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1A23n720M
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o3gwEIsvf

I was entirely grateful 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlV1HQH1fA
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyDyTFpuLh
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWnQbSMmdk
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln0rP4dwFJ
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVntzcsZQr
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiBD9334pX
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIntifsr57g

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg36lWYEnv

"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.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qv5r0iPsp

"But how did you know 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTz9JRSkTb
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqNacyt7uN
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jfIHlii30

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiMDZSteq0

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a7OpmnbnE

"Well, ya," I said as I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOdsDWhHRi
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOlSCBfrVP
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N6pd20Jfr
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdBrNFuVIv

Lee turned to the window1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNzY5tBTaN
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSYcUN82ni
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUEWrMEsCF

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerbYMVsuft

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFgCn4rmUQ

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY4nL1VxTN

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl0wijDWGB

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloIb210dfA

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8g7jhEdV0

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDDkrpShrr

We made sure to keep a 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidOQmF0yUo
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9feopmEJct
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FzsVAZR2L
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT9zMLIJIO
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDPWCw4yZs

They went down the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOmhinorx8
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV1ScU73O6
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJC0uynh4o
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKKKzy7nbm

They were led by a 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcobH7txFO
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjg8SKnlpg
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRV4R7LdHQ
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCe4QJT67d
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD0ynUfKor
restaurant.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGack6o0Ond

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbMxZbjusb

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNE1WS2icM

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1rqa1rjzI

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp692JRRqDl

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTzUCAhEBl

"Me neither. But what to1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLHzZzTskg
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBHqxRYm9T
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr67Zvm5p2

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4HsvxfCKj

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOZW0A0qtI

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPnGpS7I5S

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB2dQhl5Qi

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFKzNsRUqt

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qXebu0Fi8

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmn5gSAegK

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CXMdK2oAl

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSIAzNTYWL

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9hHY5Q4LM

"Don't worry. Seungri 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWZt8IRXcZ
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZni7tAGVI
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpkMMBZQku
and she will know something fishy is going on."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJZU3ozG06

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQKCiG5Znz

Zoey's P.O.V1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUNfXJNyaZ

I looked at the menu and1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP9jLppaXd
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDv8O9nrhu
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCxcAy1Fsj
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWZbzNrCFQ
looked up at me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0wuz6KuX2

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5sLK5IzTn

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXPtCE20rc

"Why?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhG09imAHI

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8lVIDv6md

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg7BF28fny

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi6L0UysvZ

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ4U3okAEy

"What?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Cj8WE4FL

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ7GgDtEX2

"I'll try not to next 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinVUo6CdR8
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eLBhSHfdV
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVppxNpT9Rm

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcc9RWejVr

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCFcnkXSRZ

"Not tell anyone."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvgyK4ApGt

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9lF7oKkgh

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXkWGNn4F1

"I smuggle diamonds."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLMOOw4Pep

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbyXQcxUnC

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVSQYmeoNj

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgtLGlAZBL

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpGJ0yQuSy

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZjXqf05Ya

The waiter came with our1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BPNl8LFAe
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKFMDa0Ur4
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0LjM6Ro6o

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcWqsAb5nw

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pii8B5Kzj

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPEoc3K8Ce

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9i9Sf9UOR

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBji9VUIgNX

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuID4ahKLa

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ823kWgoBbA

"Is that why you're so rich?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XLX5DUpS3

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENhKD7I2Zq

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBAWWDqpXJ

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7VQRYfsk6

I gulped. He was giving 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENqMxumQJt
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsbIhdVA6w

entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsWEDOowYQ
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ihgzuJXKd
car? What was he doing here?1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C3ECZFknN

Seungri came out of the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoWDonpdVh
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gbEUqYi63
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XCfzUVCJX
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycHvyYiaLZ

what I was expecting.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswoDd3FkTD

I trembled. What am I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjXpNclDBy
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7DXV0GS0j
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVirjBnHMa

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuPFLLhyxA

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBEOhPnkxz

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9WJwydmXE

"I, no....I," I didn't 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD58Qo3JXhn
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMDCeryVk8

"I was only expecting 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj2YFnvJlk
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ981IAtB6b8
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxiTlFHkkq
seeing the two of them together.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYoOFXkJmu

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIPD4ncPti

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQncAVwlWUn

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnxzrofSPf

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskyJ3a5UV9

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUB1MLyxS5

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zkUbVZk7d

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZb4NPA8jc

"Come with me," I said 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQb47jRAwh
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8Jn0qwvT8

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjfERw98ob

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXZyeW5uHt

"Hi, guys. You're 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpjdTZuGhW

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.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAbzJFbzhS

with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2YVzBnwzA

The five all turned to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxY6s91DUB
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Wm8aHHdQ
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaX265tC0b
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiVJrym1xV

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYNhG5Li4T

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Sejvt21Z

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4FwjYumnK

"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."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8du3TgvHu

"We were also wondering 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MtEGpGSwO
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsG058WFi5
them, but decided that I would rather not."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1r7PhBHO1

"Why?" Daesung asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCZlpkoO3V

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNGAD3mxst
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBD3PkVQjI
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjTlorCmI2
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzU9C6zIyq

"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.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblErpRiH2u

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB2Hsis0fX
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFzFviPb7N
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmJrZJGx3g

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePZOzonBXE

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtWsgsQqbb

Everyone turned to look 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm14HmdTw9C
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG2lnCXcbo
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjVITbeQEp
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4qHyEID4E

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuKetFpn4M

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJdd6UHAX3

"Here you're now 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77KKL8c1IN
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCvztkNRGb
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PYGHXT8Gz

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOWYsFzCKY

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBA9NPpFYm
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBoArEsIlA
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqt7pUUv6V
something, quick.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpr8sspY6F

"Okay, fine, we will 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML2cSTyVSU
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUcqillRpd
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuYrP1Q5dl

Yes. Finally. I thought 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyvDe1BUeK
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zbznlktY7
everything was going to be delayed.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmSwOrR1sW

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSD8VklJOZ

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFVAJbnX0l

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHtMRhtejf

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHgiVlYgIp

As much as I wanted to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEuM4sNPvj
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHGyIBSXmJ
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp9lVocMQ0

***1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzGo8DKJBS

Zoey's P.O.V1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9y47Ku35g

As much as I tried to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPgkzVLKup
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hzm1iz5w1
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk11o15axp
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdshwdPaCo7
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi4NtwSYRk

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5iyHGkrMG

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInsyNcGCSo

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrtQBhPRy6

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaLBv6uktj

"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.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQalwOC2hxd

"What do you want me to 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKRkZiV2TQ
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxA8hQUwJj
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwoAeSRxDH
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6K0SAvzNM

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgKd45KOFF

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAPU2tkDj2

Jehan shook his head and1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYzTSRzfHH
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOM3VtLzHc
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kOIkPncW4
annoying."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYWj4kROuw

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K81HOCDEw

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c2dShKWl3

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZIaAOo2Gy

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9NSIU9Yyk

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskLGS9SwIj

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifntAjwVLY

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBIhI4ZcnO

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiMWUrvjrg

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomkTMwKeXN

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3PEiQnNg1

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w4mEmjf0n

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC6DOkhqiR

"Yes, for real."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjWPTxvxy2

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSvGhX8Lhr

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBiD0tYWwH
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqs84D8faP
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmXLqiyAQB

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPJWm3vi0H

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMf8z1ntpl

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg6BglvoUy

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhTGLHHgba

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.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjuTXxfZGS

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMMyM51KgL

"Zoey, hey!"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUDkNnAp9C

Seungri? I quickly 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2gmaoZPb1
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4c9PusEbY
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WPwz0a08n
here?1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO6x0k3SJS

They came over to our 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzstlvBHd8M
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8FWDj1lJI
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IP5VcnCea
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtclvWadGp
to do now?1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzcP9MA8Lk

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm87j55SSS

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn4bEvFz4x

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0333p5NnU

"Jehan."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUaUvkOlpE

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWpJAWe0iB

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE54MYK6bk

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FeWdcxuNZ

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q7MsxLLNu

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxl6Sw1ycf

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUmLdURe4R

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJaQp6smCI

I almost spit out the 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t00mKUdAo
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucwT914ERw
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2YQvx0M1b
to water.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M1d5EREp8

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTUvH1rM7i

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbBJZ6roWx

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgsKmDrI5c

Jehan looked at me and I1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUEKDhWTGv
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP0k3uuW0V
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MDQdsqgUQ

"May I ask what you're 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaI5NYqM9j
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEr5KOerJX
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8qgOe76gt

"Oh, we just came here 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nfr21F1AL
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPu8QR73zc
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQffX0UiSco

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpILEyJfWfX

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsdORxK3aH

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6QFxBPnKn

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb2BhgDfCe

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSRTT3gJE1

"Yes, we will," said 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvmYtGNkgu
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQETf9972bO
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS7d9gf4Yj

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR2Zb1iX7U

"You too," said Seungri.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6ChzHHlWL

Jehan gave a small smile1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHId62qmAI
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgqTYGEAkK
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi9jWvUxa0
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzphJXptzl

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdmvBWKCx0

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfYFTeTVVW

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRb2m36M40

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9iWXkrTP5

I wondered how I was 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFTzbsw0rR
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniwwgFw8de
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT6XPJ7FUW
head until I give the teddy bear away.1170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzqMCVX0JN

This was just great!
