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 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36wl8tzLQG
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv4ChrLKeW
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9sIiyuRnX
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrpRAbKist
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWWBH8XEup

Last night, Zoey moved 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35kZWQlyZ4
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2ZKqJSoEN
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsvsL1ExN2
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstsgW8IA2L
talk to her either.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvEkBLI4H3

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Jvz3AQpT

It so happened that 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19HWYfrW7l
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnNoTTOxyt
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv84lxy7yrc
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYTUB7BdLj
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hPGmEYwnJ
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9msen39GOG

Now, I was sitting 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz3G8Cdco5
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriY3X6TWVD
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci1FlUYsYc
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYCUq1CqJO
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKLGT70wQb

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKgExnug4Z

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIfH8hBMew

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQecWtbj5G

"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?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5FcQFF8YL

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz9SER4mvc

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9M8qfTRAi

"Lee!" I whined, putting1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpQwEcjmhF
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQuDvoCsob
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrS0AWV3Xl

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHmtfii95g

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl4R3EP6bb

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEKas7jmfD

"Why? I want to stay here."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JeYQiIFTh

"I need to go and shop 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNReliJIOPE
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlNYLyb4xJ
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQymE7m735

"But watching YouTube 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrMze4xvuS
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsdEY0n1mQ
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yHq2UPUzA

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxVdJ9LrqV

"I think Lee is right, 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP9aVs4EVF
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZYwExB2Vn
out on Sundays like you do back home."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewUVRhnef2

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqcyKB2rPb

"I know you're a fan of 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYFvcwTKQ0
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKwPuytWKq
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Y1qRuR1N

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkTvBiB5PT

"Well, that's what 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidtFIpx8lX
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX33aOsfGi
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3CqYPrxBO

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrVcwB3mz8

"That's what we are 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrdND4ipT2
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wUXtAZFus
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekgmycVaiK
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6XYwxPBpw

Daniel's right. I had to1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOYZYYLvA3
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGHsdk6FZX
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z618LlRW5
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOMgYYTQLN

Unlike the others, Lee 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K1SMuYviC
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScCRILuU3R
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoMgvGUeDi
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4BbcIxcAq
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWtgOUvr8R
and Zoey together.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArx7aFYE9u

I really wanted to tell 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02HCHiQMPB
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm9zayBcIz
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNslnkDofx5
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ystFhtf68
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bQcawXPdF
When was I ever going to change?1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG352Suaud

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12mnVchdnF

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanX1muDMJB

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxao12XjNA

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4YWYveiRS

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP47Sp7UO3H

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38fKafNzP0
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1GZyOTR7Z
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkZfBGdsge
my room to get my shoes.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEl9VM0a1o

After I wore my white 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrlhSRfUAM
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDnHPX9oop
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg4AEy9rUE
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXbADsikDO
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzQjJuNlGL
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXUNSzjL4m

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdqO3jLPWA

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOStYTQGxzG

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROPOQrLGuW

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD5r5dZLrK

"We can go, now," I told her.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD2EkW9eQH

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhnzJfOHIT

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIBDIPz60Z

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCYGvZPBDO

I smiled back at him. 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HJ1putqkC
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguryJ9ZWis
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpVsjRrkSG
guards in the other SUV.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oOqGJJ8zo

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa9Zytw8hs

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRsKC4wcEO

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7XJERDmnt

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqzt6n77rf

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEbKO2UnAE

"To the mall," Lee answered.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXbFmFZ0Eh

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7TpeS7ui9

"What's wrong with the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu1ww6Dgyn
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpbYn68ueq
best plans just come out of the blue."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVjh0kh7Y8

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hb7cmEtyM

"And waste the day away? No way."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP48wfSSWtH

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G0QnbHbuq

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsz0QpqXzq

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzgegKDF2X

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u14sdfAVW

"No. Zoey might have 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdHxxs4VqY
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBmogI4mxP
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXGMeFJO8Z
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiu9P1Dkdz

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oDv0oY8Me

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSERnZ4qvV

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWvKZ05j7i

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrdbS1C7in

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x83edTJ7K

"I don't know what to do1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0tMg3WIi2
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DVbpfU0Bp
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnuDXy1WwR
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8euvWRFyZW
somehow."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwfuE8Gb9Z

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVWDKNBEyi

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwqhzLl77d

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZkKemo9IE

I folded my arms as I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGXaMzdFrZ
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9bHgobsUm
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r6tNPEavl
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVpy6SEvxe
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJONso747T

We soon reached the mall1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSnmhAvwf6
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TuqCOqkwM
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsctja8iHG
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlnUo4pZ3T
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarMSyJik05
the bodyguards were around.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8UpCRL02u

Lee and I first went 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo6N5Ots5q
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtk3QBKMfn
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmKiuMpqGu
a while. I was having fun.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ULLY1KP5a

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.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7YBGxpVv3

Lee and I soon came out 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmmxsPhbTp
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyBF0TtJNH
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggSCfPbfje
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOFPlietjg
our bags because we bought way too much.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXMJZigIZv

When we walked out of 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUvetouR30
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b9t932sdX
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4x9LK2Wwe
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OAF8CjFOv
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevagb2ulRT

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNLe4hGgz9

I couldn't answer Lee. I1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6VrZRR8sr
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHcgkacrLr
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0qsbW62wn

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ccqcSGndc

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcv7XrhO79

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDw3lwdJf6

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDOwJ5hGn7

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yevvvS6pO

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadBwR0hWEW

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXcKnG5DQM

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbGh0XPbf3

I looked at each and 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrgZS4Y7zT
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC3EdS5m4k
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wUydr0lJ3

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9R8DTpvNk

"What?" Lee looked 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xQCEPoLCK
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBSUVE1kBc
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpA8f326U0
panda."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SsIV9fYwq

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBA5cYDfLF

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypYql82Lnj

"Derrick's brother sent 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZryhdhtHAH
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HlyC9tBUZ
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbDSZKlENZ
bear."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7RKfwLS9w

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazNaJQQsJd

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhORIl6aMT

"I don't get it though."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHhs4MVb0S
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz6XNOjwqk
so concerned about that small teddy?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc2G9yXlje

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59SUXwgjn1

***1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfWu2TRrcM

Zoey's P.O.V1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f8Ebp6SKg

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpDQSt1KJS

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg7jRO9CT9

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpqrIWnWSc

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9WYVdnm2l

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4yky84Ohc

"You moved out of the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38YsE6G5eC
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFOcHlpC4r
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgegPeCGn8h
of alien or something."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGOl5mZxq7

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6obf3KPRE

In a quick flash, a 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qPIJWyVsR
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX3J1M6oec
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIRQvv8j9q

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6a1x6WlT3

"Do you want more of 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B3qvd8qbr
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpSisaTrhx
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2BYrpm20z

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxCt2gg1pF

"You got that right." 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpneuka4Fp
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaO4Z6sety
ignore her like you're doing forever."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKIPxkROgs

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDc74HOpcb

"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."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEysOJf8IU

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa650iUQVBj

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lamJA0Fo6

"It's normal for someone1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUW9MX0Df5
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4b7RdNJFa
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGaU5PEBnv
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ylVj4Mlp9
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpl241KCM4
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybt3pREuD5

I always hated such kind1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA4yhRLYc4
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TpC9Lvems
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWT8tDccj4
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeZkgmMyk0
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Wgp59rWa
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqoH26vIR8
nothing.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm0FDSOkf7

I've never told anyone 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjDs6PWYwZ
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUk1Px1Pgx
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wyuZ0losc
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrW4DcmRfu
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nW6ULFv6x
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlymQZ2ETn
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqwPwfWUwj

I am Yin and she is 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b5nz1sew6
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC4cplMcDE
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg06XzbRsgc
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Lau6FQpH
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv44IhKFU6H

And now when I needed 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleZPHyPQ6a
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdtWqTFWSw
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgCYWD7TZ9
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NJNGo1EvK
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfKoivYJ1N
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL11KJOXqcS

It all begun when I went1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuScJzHKq6p
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5nzcfKXxL
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3YlgzRrMM
this mess.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKi84FMHGN

We were having so much 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrupLFYyslz
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDgQxBFMsi
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZje2jJ9ndj
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIr7lXmu8W
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMwU41qNjb
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKBtDcYizK
things did go wrong.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO6wBW4k6Q

As we were watching the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2ghzwdATt
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48EJ952gyO
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WfOLBsSlr
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10QiJol2i6

When I looked at him, he1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSXPfsOFa2
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpxBdjH1oV
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWRH3YXcwD
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBRHwJMypd
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOhKkT37Uf
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsEyytbV18

After the show when 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMRvqj9qEe
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnouRfGAXn
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoRyzC23aZ
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1l69PPQb2
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIzdEkevKf
take a few minutes.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRsPnrfdFQ

I didn't find anything 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqOFJCkubv
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPugUl3kINe
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQk0VmS8ei
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0sILRQmEZ
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb9Nub8mR2
too much.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5D6Kwruaw

Jehan led the way out 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u6wrZ0f0z
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlq61aOd8S
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nQNk6egm7
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HOgR4z1h0
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtAuhxmf5R
that I felt a little safe.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU4lXTB3rq

The two of us soon found1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK6yCgCekj
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpfqZDNKC2
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1LFsy4J0f
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWU5auO2VQ
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTDp0blsVe
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NvnMcJGeF
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgb4mZIwyO
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs8xDp7ob0
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIAJzfaE5d
menacing.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRw5Fxis9p

He gave me something for1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90vVnZybgv
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzqgBUEikM
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkVbnPIodR
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WLemtapcP
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht6PUZTN6W
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTAIcpjHvI
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73h9bszxaP

Whatever he sent me that1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHRDZ7WvG4
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUz709qq4C
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehSMpuTXEg
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV25XKHZxf3
happened yesterday.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9zbQQe77G

I had never been in this1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv71GywtsdZ
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTnY87Tx07
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqgDLpzLFG
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvm2iZd3rG
crying out loud. I had to do something.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkloHEVoJU

My phone rang bringing 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwEhLvoYxi
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ1ilDZV5Z
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP8C3FmCjE
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS2LOGL8ce

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXMUFDpqdD

"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.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDj0ppNtoO

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPOH2GsInO

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTjV9PUmti

I would have told him to1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIAoS7M3i4
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WiePczxnQ
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoe5BBzUkG

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgag1jGIsJX

"Looks like you aren't 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zHAauBs3b
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmftTXMeMR5
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpoJBac6wl

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG520FTjcT4

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMX9BrfzGv

"Just get to the point, 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgeC0K3fk4
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiGsdDVWLJ
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGWMXwKCBO

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzQxicn0bi

"Today? Are you serious?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ884QXCjsdk

"You know that I am. We meet today."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiYOcWExLO

"But where?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRi2SA2n2r

"At the mall."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqM7o0s83H

For a moment I almost 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG715w82p8I
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXc7bUF0CN
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi5U27ApIx
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1QoRnp8Uh
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveXd7RyNOR

"What's so funny?" Jehan1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQreyPYtQAH
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKadWpP0I8
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAfqw0k8RE
myself.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPMgWBIH7B

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKhVNvzc1V

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtdQTyxF0M

If he thought saying 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bZ75CzOBl
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj0Z8RpIjO
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkHRLwSK50

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV2vvXTNFL

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJf4bUvLvl

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94xr32qmIW

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VyU1nKKdc

"Ya, sure."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN9fF5EmzE

Jehan didn't say 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s95fgKGy9
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKOXPqGlp8
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMcq4uNU6c
Typical.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHuZVgxeW2

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQOkFpEtow

"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."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHmn9TJeFd

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1brbvwGwLD

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwHZjMGSeh

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IuM0WayK5

"Why? You think I would?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2x8V8v9q7

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhHcDuMcBf

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZInLNUHb8i

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP5Frr8Op4

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgOwmhF4oo

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfijBVpSlLd

"That one. Where is it?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIXlyuBiFs

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR2Jay6Fhd

"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."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUZMRqxoe0

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYElgpOi2U

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGjysgxsIp

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC1TClSwy2

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwIZSiphZ2

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY3RNsINEM

I quietly went over to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdtzTBI0oW
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ8o6mhJI6
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlmOV9icxX
soon.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFlCYlxikn

I came to the drawer 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjPpiiFTJW
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfKTK4f35H
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q4x4H0jqb

I looked at her bed and 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxYbh5SZ2O
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhFUCGQYH2
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp30RC76OC9

"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."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj6Si1ddE1

I heard the tap in the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNaM86Y487
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw407heAnC
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL6Y4ldmEi
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1TIGyjrwT
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28rQ8sZTQZ

***1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlwIXyPKlu

Sam's P.O.V1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCw8xZf9lB

"Do you really think 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDrZ5BvQnM
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5MIsIAB3w
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVWwdHl2Qv

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXVJXB4clr

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QDJA0pKC3

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwGhhKao7k

"I hope it's not drugs."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMHTDdaZec

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRrl0Wxrsb

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuyRpO4nAT

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhOyr4v5ic

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujg7EWEerY

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUPTt87UOB

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpZsvGpF6U

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTvST5AVUX

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV1mUvLidG

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGEE4mlbKV

"Zoey."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5wOhJqY1b

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRraGIBOvOw
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp0kv4zBqm
they couldn't because of our little fight."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51digCNFY4

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2EMdnS16M
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLQXM6LTf4
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsGvPoeFx4

I raised an eyebrow at 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4i0jf6G8T
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ6puG9Llb
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFJpZd7OLB

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0oxVaefJn
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS6u43A5lm
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqb3lfB4ev
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnlE3VqTw2

"About what?" Lee asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2ULtyuXCf

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByDX8OTE20

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp3ITVv6pN

"But today might be the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOCDRavrBh
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58ILre7t5e
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSsig3vfPf

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXIqBuDfzR

My heart rate quickened 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVHJ9fB3DC
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo6AT0L1vU
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnF2zWFOg0

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNHRxAzFt5

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjXLFB0vWq

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH28AiMM0sO

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOKtb1d1Qo

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC4XcTo185

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJnGu9pviV

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9x3DtqU8l

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbrDiNO2yq

"Alright, thanks, 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWoFIG2Tcu
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhYcNhfAYH
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YJ6xYPird
Seungri."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqdun2B25h

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JeI9PdoC5

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkxu7GxP2e

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBt89LhKNx

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbrwFIAtuN

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DyOi58YKd

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEURBnFueYn

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBBghcULrz

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ24MFF9YjZ

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9xID31bS9

"Yes, I am." I could 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu4Lkop2Kc
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP7Nl5tGdT
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYvs1TgEug
perhaps?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXlenZJVRD

I rolled my eyes and as 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil4PYDNVSr
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOpkvIpiCb
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn4ElAKN9l
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuqlVvXNin

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMltVqZUE1

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nqjGQ48CR

I bit my lower lip and 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR9rf5fbBu
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDuVYC23iX
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao8gDnQjXe

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zODab0LkX

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxLVhavp2X

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIGx13jWSz

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMF9QeXFq7

"Bye."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIEFbfA7RP

"Bye, my little kitty."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LTEaoIwvg

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HGzJcKWg2

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BqPYeS6bf

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAD6Tl2ddQ

"Nope. And he isn't 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN8rQPCk2b
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXESKoEsZlB
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5O2GYdR4B

"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."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCr3YEWj3C

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrnBRmpI6L

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP4XhqdAFL

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CPkwVFc6A

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g4fxSiRAs

"Tell me about it." I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOBOWg7ZfY
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9CU8xzn2h
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg66zbYdJM

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgrFMhHsx1

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe76Jz9hPL

After we were done with 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbjM2AOmgz
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWqa4OBkH0
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAU0vfuHiW

As soon as we walked out1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwruud057U
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ503LU18THH
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUk5ntFhMH
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq9JAsYJrS
looking black suit stepped out.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtPcmPOUTt

Time seemed to have 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4USvLUFQwx
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHGJSQrE82
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhVgA2RBDO
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnppN8tWrbp
something familiar about him.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVUsK5HpDq

Just as I was about to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLpOC72sSx
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoqxUt8she
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuBk0epNgF

I almost tripped and 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4g3TqDzJB
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK78PxyiDm
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kaUB1LJL2
me from falling.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXWp2ah5qC

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpbqyXfJrf

I didn't say a word as I1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmKti6aa6L
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIqMQwrBK4
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp1Mc1XdMe

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaBXTjQ03b

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPUKrHk7lR

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fwXJ1U4Np

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC11ZJO4oKb

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpgMslOQyj

Narrator's P.O.V1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1tds0ZQ4k

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4CY6fShVF

"Hey guys, am here," 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HHwyvmolk
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkw1dKMsLE
look downcast as though someone's just died."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerKKf6KAUj

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mZ5ZnJKMv

"This is getting real 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfSXwPMrWl
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOgmCFsCyU
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTYPBm2aQ9
her or with anyone of you."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06fOo6DCVJ

"No, I think now is the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2xH0VHYKd
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbr1By1fpF
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxShGg1xET

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W3t2KCTuH

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7bimEjtwl

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJdB1WklQb

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSnAnqe7gX

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM98vgPiyF

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRN2g0fO0e

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo495UREJZ

The others rolled their 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VSXsYHOqY
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVSpw1lL8e
around and now wasn't the time for it.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrZRvRSuoi

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81KyRym8bN

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLOuJpwtQi

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFWIATf9sE

"Well, maybe," said 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NA0d8f4ae
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd3WAPqny0
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPUBtzdvhM
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU2125RCuQ

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJauAKpd78S

"When I saw Daesung and 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcIlmlKr57
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzydED8r2D
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgqXGwlhXw

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVeUed2d4H

G-Dragon didn't answer 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcoGyD55MM
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qIqCV1Sii
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqNpYCtbBH

"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."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlkA3Nz2yX

"What do you mean?" 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLntiKnEXt
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuMC8zwDlS
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvcHm2tJiI

"She was just doing that1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr7Kz6glFA
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRGVwf0LDj
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowGEw0tD8Y
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Px3Z1vggN
be together."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPqUJE6L8r

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNLLtr0sMr

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyuzFzFTGw

All the four BigBang 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyprEkxFV9
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt2eZknEpJ
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQlPGLdw9i
heard him come in.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtQRYPWKaS

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTOurcbBzN

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu5vh2y805

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fP2wEOwvc

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXpwuIvPMP

"I'm not going to stay 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHkEGhojzR
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSQnjllUxb
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG6MibYdBA

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeAep9boIY

"No, I don't."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfl9EMJC5S

Before G-Dragon could 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60RCL8wXVp
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKJsUVpytp
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7ETyVtJqX

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj6MtrRJvs

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzW4V2wt6S

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3506lf45nH

G-Dragon folded his arms1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oy4isM5S6
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9EDkmURvC
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHqEa3xaoo
stared at the ceiling.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3FCwH2aDD

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3yrkX5Uw2

Daesung came into the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHMeQgBbMP
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu407jO8LPv
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GpEKfsgWL

"Look, I know you're 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx7aT8usFh
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2DbmwtsmF
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpTNnR5nwr
never told me anything either."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYINQYiY6K

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHSvsYfEDt

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkBn2SMJKs

"Why?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu1gRa2DR4

"She just felt like it 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7app1lsax
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6ILBJR5Aw
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHxY5cKGGj
long distance relationships will ever work out."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ56qTfMDji

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMwSCWN4FN

"Because I know I'll 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwgAvhG31w
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCYWYXcFcu
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhdwieCNNb
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9MelRfOui
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsy9rDpYJP
want to hurt anyone either.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VZCgTc9up

"Maybe that's why she 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwENYEwxAzx
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjstFXiYTJ
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ8FYLXKGq
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquKPBwWvb8

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6nIhZNF14

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyUIuT206o

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCpLPWc5iG

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRgQA4AOtZ

"I know."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAI1oF2udv

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR47SD3yq97

"I'll think about it."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBPgp6JZ3G

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyCrFoioul
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gBevHgFUQ
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb5C1Aexwb
the mall."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyG5RS0ORC

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1n36PxTKG

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUGtY0Wejk

"Ya," said Seungri, 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddHfe3KKi0
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjdVnk2PqS
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIr7ZnNxuJ

"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."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IucstVvFK

"There is no time to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VPenhj0KZ
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy4KVtF2xC
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFXgsIvC04

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJaXyfx6ct

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AgyNazVZV

"We're your best 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVl2gvUmTR
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabDMjaW5vV
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sSEhhSyP7

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPmCeaFup7

I came out of the black 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOQwPyBg6O
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK50jugqWUR
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjioURdnb5
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkBxvp8CxJ
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8FnXrBpHj
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiNdyTxMj2
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIIcDHBtbX

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mNYmCnM1n

"Okay."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEJk0IR9TK

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEI0jKQ356

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAPJYntc9r

from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd2KveuXmj
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCt72jY8L5
lot smarter than you think."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcWvOugQUA

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSQuy8Mcac

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrgQYZSgWj
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0EfMwDtLi
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59RU80O9gx

When I went into the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KANz0YNR8
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMmcfPrVn2
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGu0Gr7bLx

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHnRlzulg7

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ssIVDX3Xj

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmfCueYN6t

I shivered. Despite his 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQnJb0GQaT
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa2RE02xxB
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7B0FMAgoM
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx35ytyHLX
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU3In5DSSn

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcGVVQ2UAM

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JIjXHQfFN

"Why do you need to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxzKkR3mSY
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANPVlmPp6Y
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuEjUDKf9n

"Well, I need to know 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcbZ7aDxDz
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ATxEXfQX
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo6npjIjiG

"And tell me, why should1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNnSD2s0Sz
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTvNkVu5zO
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qJgqCBnUR
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMN3uLSgRA
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdiaz85Hor

"I...eh..." I looked him1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPQQJgID9o
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVDRwhaFnE
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dcYK40y9n
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zQ4KuQ2RS
the kind who would send such a thing."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGWeYjRqPP

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDmpnxCrzj
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf0B3bSs8G
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL779aIJLg

"I don't know." I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoOxvgZd2k
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF8ptXEcI4
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmg3UWpbsg
up to?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3qYYHOlIn

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sSB9aX3JM

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHCRVJrNDl

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcpSs4vDLq

"What's the matter with that?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CuiiHuLeT

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y9VmndUDM

"Don't test my patience,1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRs8Zshc2W
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptUudDzeRj
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv9YAa5296
think you deserve to you know."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYAgKhntY4

"Well, yes, I do."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXP8jaPN2v

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDTByhqLNG

***1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPm3QyzTEf

Sam's P.O.V1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbiRREsbuk

I could see Zoey from 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjUMB8fm5Q
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsYZmpm67S
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLndXYf6wu
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW40wteltg6
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUfOin9TRN

I was entirely grateful 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6WlWxQC4o
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkC1qsyTz2
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJe2rqPvGy
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxp2S8ojne
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL1vj6W2wJ
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cn8O1RABM
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vHT6XKlZ7

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvVGETCJdX

"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.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEV0kLwy9q

"But how did you know 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf7WkMIHN7
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwB3ooGaV1
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iWppyHcoI

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKb1KmncTh

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0c0lAeK85

"Well, ya," I said as I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmUmoNbwUB
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xlJDATA6s
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeE7fVjAl6
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGVYgT1FmO

Lee turned to the window1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g8SaFhJX6
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMR6x5E6ib
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MBGXakSkk

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QBfKONwTV

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPCQ5pJKM8

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGzLSkGvYl

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDcj1Pu4Ij

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb9L1idanJ

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybT8zlZYh9

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ElmC8CtWK

We made sure to keep a 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvQSu4kuxc
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIjC0BJU6a
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48hmgF5Sl6
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YU7HwVCQW
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnnusLDwrw

They went down the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXikTjU0SNk
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkCQq8zOyC
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofw4k4lOiQ
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpPC0JJugY

They were led by a 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBt302Mx27
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUUax6tgOY
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG62Pu8NLf
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel3nz60w5A
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOgfw2fapq
restaurant.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbx265dlPz

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVMtE1wlnT

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEh1uZbWIh

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79w5KilEm3

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8tQhZJAJW

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO51IeJuryH

"Me neither. But what to1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZuk29tzvz
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL61niXDI9
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrpP9SUBsD

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33nPeCyJQP

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ3QsxVzYm

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCS37RB063

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o8aiv7qC8

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpsaMFlIru

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPHh3rWZPO

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlvuX6PoDw

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAOSlvxOqW

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26kDRXxjEP

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpMs1T7fYQ

"Don't worry. Seungri 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSf4HZ4i2h
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4gz8oKC9p
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28AAKMgdpb
and she will know something fishy is going on."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXHqcAoA7q

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2xUSeFoY4

"I hope so too."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy5Pl392NB

Zoey's P.O.V1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ07cRAkVZt

I looked at the menu and1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36y9bOWS6K
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtNYwhkh6r
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKAYBxQP0X
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNtkMf63sY
looked up at me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT3egFG7fd

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4isFCRJLY

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBupSXjKgKD

"Why?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPvzugY241

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaONhcR27fq

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnlmbMQcEL

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK82CZXlBco

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaCS9s9gpv

"What?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJmXSZ1Z5o

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYQlsxYX9U

"I'll try not to next 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtixi9N2E4
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNNShDtF0V
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHkcaMt7mH

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y1WHdCdUl

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPLV8cKNG1

"Not tell anyone."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Gak9Hanm

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdGhBNPNtm

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuML9BPhQw

"I smuggle diamonds."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVrwM9xOUM

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOjdOTnRzt

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIMNfQ0lX6

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRAjRKAjv6

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGyIvuwwym

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5znuVjXJQ

The waiter came with our1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLza96CmPJA
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulWvsQQkyH
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu68zUOVuLM

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB5CnEnFzb

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMguVJkqeW

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54QvW6nolm

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwro5keQTq

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aWxESkW0L

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qZsLofNoK

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKYNHnjwfU

"Is that why you're so rich?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKXOV0n9x7

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0uHOfe9sq

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS0aJDm3oV

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIGToe05sz

I gulped. He was giving 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7kpQ51XE5
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKiZddEoPY

I was waiting by the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnNRCrUV25
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LOMEvFZdJ
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yOk2z0pHr
car? What was he doing here?1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pQIpgWn9C

Seungri came out of the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivVGeGM2jF
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXRjtx53b4
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oei9G5YCK
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUGzwomqir
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc24vAHrH0
what I was expecting.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpPTJ1razX

I trembled. What am I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCN31cwZoi
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU8NMbKIvQ
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjGGxmgNsE
give Mr Teddy away.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGAJ0te0LM

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHv7xQLueB

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP32uuhy8YK

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52tZfstBQi

"I, no....I," I didn't 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ezyrKbpq6
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJJ6MnZl0m
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7KN5CrdTq

"I was only expecting 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaAxbD2rUw
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5QJCa8czg
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QlUFDUSBW
seeing the two of them together.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePia0OjaVw

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6m6krzZvN

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM1EfEPpPN

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QPUBSq7QJ

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cHLT9N08K

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFzzY9BmsP

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CCDatWYhU

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf6ari7KAJ

"Come with me," I said 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfigKqWjKO
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4g3snNyEM
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna1WBNUFOo
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE3MKNeYod

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvaOyqyhqd

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsoY3Ck2tL

"Hi, guys. You're 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHqY8bDPJT
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHw91fgUQw
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oSR8PQE0u

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxaLd4p1oR

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIf9Hkuqvr

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.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yxHd7DNCK

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofxyxgr6Yl

"Well, if you look into 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VWGjyBpSt
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLfZpozT9R
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIkUD0bPBq

The five all turned to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDkruLaSJh
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxQK6PM6a1
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIfWxiulQs
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa9eSlILPL

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQttcJM67k

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAifxd7wac

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmyaqOhyhz

"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."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrMEO7bdsa

"We were also wondering 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsetDtSvz5l
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CxNdsqITV
them, but decided that I would rather not."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9fVJY2LlE

"Why?" Daesung asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb264mRWh2

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAERFAkSrbd
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mwXgBF6pH
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNPAIDauSM
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6IgPJsFgz

"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.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof1KnratLF

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgZ6JBouIN
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQHPkmWzpH
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pYqGs6Ked

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQHL3oz29d

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtJzfWPGaH

Everyone turned to look 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs79Y338hfj
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN3lBT2Dj2
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVQVvsBPUC
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPGWhikGXg

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94HdUHgdZ3

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhKXxziFYP

"Here you're now 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstQl7MZZn8
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DoH1e0aef
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktgQ56uUGB

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll2eP6vUAP

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMx8Kvxtno
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCIo1nQXSy
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXQ8xQD4Vj
something, quick.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnMP5L3ml7

"Okay, fine, we will 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQCZpirgrT
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYZvuDJfPB
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsj2uyHu7f

Yes. Finally. I thought 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLpEt9UkjL
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl3c9k4TEb
everything was going to be delayed.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyuMV8AR2k

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLO48lc8E7

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xGIZGowYH

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBEwwFD0XS

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hVO4VBaSr

As much as I wanted to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhabQzbuCDc
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rq5PGV2KJ
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIO0Jy5jRi

***1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWNbzG69nP

Zoey's P.O.V1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB15AzenUn

As much as I tried to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9OHMmhaIE
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATQQOf8Ev6
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ70q9UEf93
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ32LzGjbYu
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrhAShUutR

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnFFbHAwMX

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShTCJi3Ykg

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe0mAqHk1K

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTR2YUJYUW

"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.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWWw7CW07Y

"What do you want me to 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK94sp2Jmh
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnE8ABtbWG
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPypqGo9x24
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9EJQBxNr2

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8sV5vjznq

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LzzNMot1V

Jehan shook his head and1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbB0IJUaxR
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmiUKIWFUX
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv95kVs9I7
annoying."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TUfnsMNKM

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHVFu0GhZM

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj85DHlkBkC

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX37v5x5xU

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVYqLZe4SU

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaQgJymVMP

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZawdEZPTj7

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OJpQCIat3

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCFiXNZ0Mx

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczvB7q1iSu

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4GAA75eD0

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PRrBADX3o

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Cr2M5BuQ

"Yes, for real."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCfSyRG7Ud

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP9txFF2cz

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9SdE78kmg
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOPOvjx06V
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwOIRZCZuW

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh0muwGdp9

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiKtSBWace

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGzzSPz1P9

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYxqCkhS9n

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.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZE5diP1dl

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpIUsofaLz

"Zoey, hey!"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTMkU33Va0

Seungri? I quickly 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC7bcupHRb
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVzcyMNzAU
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lECmdbYNw
here?1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehkq5aypeH

They came over to our 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iIRONXv81
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgRM7kYepI
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGTkHeXkW8
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sN2kbW8a7
to do now?1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDMQM1h9E3

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp1IZj3Anu

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnhoDS7K5O

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR8DtTiixC

"Jehan."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFbaFNruvx

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9wP31S4eX

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pGvfixpSY

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku4oCiqO6j

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK5YS6poXM

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXtnVwyqgS

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x34q0kV3K

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGbaKw0Nyx

I almost spit out the 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivyjwAuBfc
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcry80ftaBf
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffeP8YGuT6
to water.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhqNxqnNBV

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgFovcjVNs

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyluJ6vf8xF

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9wkpnY8f4

Jehan looked at me and I1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJsCXX5MqH
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBAumXXgIj
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZDUIaGqMn

"May I ask what you're 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dbP6XXfyi
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntIHMkZRbl
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15E2yEvE8N

"Oh, we just came here 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh30o8o67FK
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyd6YU7JGw
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9MoMaX9YV

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUs3DmH8eL

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3KQrwxavQ

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIvAUipMUt

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Wad68yaA

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlrvC94tJw

"Yes, we will," said 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e24WCmTc2
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW9TZXXpWu
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXU9a8FbT9

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO3m7eoICP

"You too," said Seungri.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yPGwG9yJ2

Jehan gave a small smile1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xXFRJwm5z
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvYp67CsEd
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEcnUvNB7S
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWML29wwuT

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WUKcehJbf

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAC9nsenJh

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3YjJjOxwZ

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N1uZBb9bA

I wondered how I was 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Aumii3i8
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeZtiUCSjA
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRoXQeXNwh
head until I give the teddy bear away.1145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiXwHXmyfT

This was just great!
