Sunday was quiet and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAB0EqcUvQLZ
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnK2DRbgTDk
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPloi5wx17w
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcPrW4jpcw6
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAU5rLhcpn03
Last night, Zoey moved 1209Please respect copyright.PENANArVxqA1j66s
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1209Please respect copyright.PENANAWm3aHiHQFI
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAEGkn1RnzIm
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3qXTQ0RGm0
talk to her either.1209Please respect copyright.PENANADLEOUFwNFH
And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1209Please respect copyright.PENANADq4aKAX9DT
It so happened that 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAs9of3xSdS0
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmGROvzF5Xs
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1209Please respect copyright.PENANANhFE8KhFSr
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvTPslIIBgK
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3ggOfYwN0I
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHdsvllUw1X
Now, I was sitting 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1OeXgPo8Q0
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJOesyvh7SB
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwRPQg7uFtV
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsuh0kh73Ke
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ3GkqrSIb
I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1209Please respect copyright.PENANARdaj2xKHeM
"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANArycpxx26Vr
"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmqkXgiMhdI
"You heard me," said Lee looking down on me, with an annoying look on her face. "Are you going to sit here the whole day?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmQnmnZLUOY
"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAkzHGVFb3ft
"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFp7nGR30Nf
"Lee!" I whined, putting1209Please respect copyright.PENANA4n4HQBn3Zb
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAiVUQErrEnp
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAV11WNw1Jps
"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZqBA4yIemB
"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwFsSmhdFQT
"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnTqQ2hckvv
"Why? I want to stay here."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAug1A4o837P
"I need to go and shop 1209Please respect copyright.PENANArywqx30XqT
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nj8xg8lWI
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAdUEKADG1Sh
"But watching YouTube 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnWTh1J6Qup
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAi9hav20sA3
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAoZY8LybNqn
Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGpfpJ4kwLz
"I think Lee is right, 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2A7qj4xcpQ
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1209Please respect copyright.PENANApdN8LM0k5R
out on Sundays like you do back home."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAdiB9cQGQnF
"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAkNlMIlmpUI
"I know you're a fan of 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbPpGcsH5C5
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPYwyd9ITn1
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAB1dd6G6bq6
"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFbcSL7GPB5
"Well, that's what 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqudfICrnix
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOfEN4TiGyt
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcbgaWMN5c9
"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAk20anpEORg
"That's what we are 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA94mY1lPS7E
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA0DlOdSNCkg
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1209Please respect copyright.PENANArJaHoiMHyc
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAKDFgr8Lfe2
Daniel's right. I had to1209Please respect copyright.PENANAElqPzw54Fp
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFa2zUoAtxb
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6gCTv3GHHU
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPjSeuW297b
Unlike the others, Lee 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwq8TksTwKM
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbN80GPOxlq
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1209Please respect copyright.PENANADUErYSgIU3
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA0gvcb3KhpH
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAaAshMVyYXX
and Zoey together.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1v5YssYvln
I really wanted to tell 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1kpLMA8KGZ
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA0pLmwBVLbp
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1209Please respect copyright.PENANAs3RIzTqoeA
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2J6RRZ3nUk
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8KUzTkVpwD
When was I ever going to change?1209Please respect copyright.PENANALcsotQIoSl
"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1209Please respect copyright.PENANABAxpqcfu5G
"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxb5NBdtbDs
"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7jVwbxvLr
"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1209Please respect copyright.PENANADDiON2NaSw
"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmCFpt4fIdZ
Lee, Mike and Daniel 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAjkADyQOEFF
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7xy6smpix6
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7UQ79Huecg
my room to get my shoes.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAly5hx5vZXL
After I wore my white 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAg2JyATim66
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAIpCsPeqy9y
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAeqRIFzp0ta
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuLndRfH0pw
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1209Please respect copyright.PENANA5nzxuOi4rZ
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAaCkBsbxk7t
"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAdzgwh0R5Zi
"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFNmdLMKTb4
I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAlP9h6zR1QI
I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAd8YQTESoHs
"We can go, now," I told her.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAk68mCrGrrb
"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1209Please respect copyright.PENANABqaYpVELI0
"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA67yJbK2spp
"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAE3DJjz8r1N
I smiled back at him. 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3tWMWwwkOk
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1209Please respect copyright.PENANALxqBydzxJI
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAiIjOmFCSD1
guards in the other SUV.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAopU3V6SrVs
"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAQb4XmzvJnx
"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1209Please respect copyright.PENANARUpQTDlDzC
"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAAc2Xqr1Peh
The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAaYll2ix14i
"So, where are we going?" I asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcECgCFpSjf
"To the mall," Lee answered.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYswto6CHRH
"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAW0rbVM46TI
"What's wrong with the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvrJuINp3Us
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3YBMHjowZq
best plans just come out of the blue."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAkcVeInuT6v
"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAu0qcg5r6DH
"And waste the day away? No way."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA5fjWmMMlpk
"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAhx1v0EXdHc
"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3h0n3mcTdv
"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAgjTwfeeIbf
"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6ztSt2lZTN
"No. Zoey might have 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAdUQPjQ9bFZ
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8UtueSF3dk
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAj2SOVgLxqb
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2nusDaf0Eq
"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANA0vEl2MSB1L
"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAQJpors8rEY
"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAN99ZNzntPu
"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOcElPPuiP4
Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAc8RVzBaub4
"I don't know what to do1209Please respect copyright.PENANAH0cGlbNpUn
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1209Please respect copyright.PENANALVpIfcsBio
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1209Please respect copyright.PENANAlx03HBleiD
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1209Please respect copyright.PENANALyjnmAy2T4
somehow."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2QGZ8nXZ4k
"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGC1JduJ4e1
"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAQe7dZ8tZBB
"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAp2Et5kv6fX
I folded my arms as I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXfHG4TKm4q
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAG5ihqw9kAS
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9wy0HLrANH
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2GXb71iDKW
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAion37u72Ro
We soon reached the mall1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1hu5UO68de
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAETDONWBgba
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAepJL5xjHRt
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAa4GYRTtIqY
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAfXbGmopB6i
the bodyguards were around.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsNFZP2298P
Lee and I first went 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPUBZ5wYGX1
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtf3UeUzLFA
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1209Please respect copyright.PENANAX6lYSH9pUP
a while. I was having fun.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAylCKQk3vEr
And when it came to the fans, some were brave enough to go past the guards and come take photos with me and take autographs.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1x4A7nPH3P
Lee and I soon came out 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAVXEhV6lSVO
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsppWb0Z4HQ
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcy3a94H864
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAutFtNwFtaC
our bags because we bought way too much.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUlZQ5iIpNe
When we walked out of 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAQvATF57rX9
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAT6S5GTVAPP
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOUPQTTe9zJ
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANASoIq4lBnn4
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAaS4np5A4WP
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUV2nBFCwwj
I couldn't answer Lee. I1209Please respect copyright.PENANALONFQ7Pc6m
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtri57RKgo1
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7kcPj6VWlH
"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANADSbdWeQY7D
"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwBN9x6nRvt
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANA96VF6prZdi
"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPx2vEKFb7e
"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAdos9I4OQsM
"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAc2ntzKko60
"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAniEWcZ0rH4
"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6ITGyCPEOu
I looked at each and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAi08HVUfg1C
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsTXvfajcUz
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUFAKYphKRu
"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXUZoWWV2Uc
"What?" Lee looked 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA27CB78dHnK
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAMPPCKmU1jC
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1209Please respect copyright.PENANADmJNhBGQri
panda."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAVsRe1ToIrZ
"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAkJR4w6SHNm
"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFpLSivAUax
"Derrick's brother sent 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAjvfjEnYNAp
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAez3LdntmN7
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZY4wTphJCf
bear."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ4EP1BfSo
"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwdJDoZqT7W
"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAhVXnzJY4ur
"I don't get it though."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtkbWbUkrbI
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvFEA1WbegR
so concerned about that small teddy?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1oaxOpF3Mp
"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAI3ZRqYDQpA
***1209Please respect copyright.PENANA73H6jP2ftd
Zoey's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.PENANAi2GpbArkDl
"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwp7lH8PBvW
"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxS7264y2yt
"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAkNPTn0Y8Rn
"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAMqsOJRXDkC
"How am I treating her unfairly?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuwewPAh1cA
"You moved out of the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOnwheadVpS
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA84fHGNxmGZ
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsG4fYm33fH
of alien or something."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAeWoarYWtDW
I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAfGObbq0NvU
In a quick flash, a 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPjB4f2l6jh
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAChCPwpgirP
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAt6gblvfiiU
"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3AsxrZPwoM
"Do you want more of 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAIwf4bWETc9
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAswRceu5icd
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxqT97rCaW0
"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmS0ATMA4Wj
"You got that right." 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGbutCiGeA5
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwhpFeVWWTa
ignore her like you're doing forever."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1IbexhMuzp
"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbO4t3CKsdJ
"You know that sooner or later you will need her. And besides, she is always going to be around whether you like it or not."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuSJAj81aeh
"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1209Please respect copyright.PENANArFHgfv7jlM
Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAaEcgweyqhN
"It's normal for someone1209Please respect copyright.PENANAKgeT2dy8u4
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1209Please respect copyright.PENANA38hpZx3TbH
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAeTJiFKqhVd
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOWuF7OPuo3
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAiAw2FLennS
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOg6OkX6S55
I always hated such kind1209Please respect copyright.PENANAi8WOTt7ZdX
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1209Please respect copyright.PENANAgOzxZvaUPW
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1209Please respect copyright.PENANAgI4TCP2hm3
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1209Please respect copyright.PENANAKfbdM6VgX6
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyHpQNRjeND
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGi7JFZPQ3Z
nothing.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHXX4I03brc
I've never told anyone 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ga1wY9zwZ
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqOHY7QASOP
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbgT7ERKz1j
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1209Please respect copyright.PENANARrH0Kdcnne
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1209Please respect copyright.PENANASrJBl9cF72
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2TYrQRpsh
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1209Please respect copyright.PENANANUXNQaonEl
I am Yin and she is 1209Please respect copyright.PENANATG8O0LKdUv
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANACr1JbivFx2
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3uD1lHB0iH
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1209Please respect copyright.PENANAIfQKSXpbTM
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1209Please respect copyright.PENANApAE63EAl3b
And now when I needed 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAASkuZDzHzw
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7z2gErR6bB
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbuW3Z7FURS
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqNOHSk25zt
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA641GJhKFB1
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuvdKeIPTAA
It all begun when I went1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6VijHp0aoh
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFtoyNkRtuu
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAT2aMj3wEOz
this mess.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAoWkfEcGhl4
We were having so much 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAjnDblWbhOm
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAu14FHSEtVJ
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqmWqENDxMC
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1209Please respect copyright.PENANADWpzExH4jz
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAG5XDnwjq1w
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxEqOQYZ8Pz
things did go wrong.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvHPYtLeQ2F
As we were watching the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXKASWaB0Ti
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyuWc0jSCCP
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1209Please respect copyright.PENANAn8MzjoWHOs
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAelAJYdjW0E
When I looked at him, he1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7eVLpCxxEz
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1209Please respect copyright.PENANAhX1Y4r44dc
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA4XCaX2ti4r
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqI7cmjb1Z7
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAb0CmFzjO7s
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvx6nnTv69F
After the show when 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAaqjqRSBEsN
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqeEqTbaaWg
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAus84L0xgp2
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzixM5t0Rbn
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHnGvSxDCwE
take a few minutes.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsZvASbTrIE
I didn't find anything 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbrjRMvvZZj
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANArlhJZtxMdt
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwKFryL5xLf
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1209Please respect copyright.PENANANuR9W5RgRO
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2zFfewEfv3
too much.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyAftyEBpy4
Jehan led the way out 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJVmHFR8AdM
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvB2to4zBaW
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1209Please respect copyright.PENANABIEVgP0Td3
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAT4JcLpQp4k
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA5Yy55gkb7Y
that I felt a little safe.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAChKv62cLHZ
The two of us soon found1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvq9bJ4Ockx
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAm221vcwdB2
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUBJCmaOIR9
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFTTRRwY9wH
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAWq906Chs7w
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1209Please respect copyright.PENANAhq75idwOdG
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyvoRZEMkbH
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8wkZv6qM9s
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANATevtIAOEsC
menacing.1209Please respect copyright.PENANASfqCvsm7eq
He gave me something for1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyI3rE8hnRf
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyU0ERrCb5l
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUHvf5q30w8
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1209Please respect copyright.PENANACl94TBmRJ8
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA5LQE454YbQ
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAK5HBirHE2q
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAG72T82WMmp
Whatever he sent me that1209Please respect copyright.PENANAV8pVTNEiUn
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAaNMnqje70S
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1209Please respect copyright.PENANANFQ3wfbAmW
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1209Please respect copyright.PENANATg3s6i3NMS
happened yesterday.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1swdXEAcpC
I had never been in this1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsmnUk4clv0
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1209Please respect copyright.PENANA12g9BAR9bQ
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZvoFJZgjiI
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA09YBzb55kW
crying out loud. I had to do something.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGUN5BYMK3c
My phone rang bringing 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rn1MOvieI
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1209Please respect copyright.PENANArqw5tCN7cx
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1al9AhCH4d
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAh3FxGguXIF
"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPtvDSPls7n
"I...uh, ya, I will," I said as I picked up the phone and answered the call. I could already feel myself starting to sweat.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcjB1Duw0KT
"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1209Please respect copyright.PENANATTzyKjaWDN
"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1209Please respect copyright.PENANArKgr43xN83
I would have told him to1209Please respect copyright.PENANAd6X20qLGeP
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAkk9r5MlhJD
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1209Please respect copyright.PENANANlMPD27SAj
"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAh66VKloxeR
"Looks like you aren't 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAMMvCpWKw8t
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbxHBZxNc5z
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZEJV9iCXQC
"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAW9HEvra2vP
"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANA47XdmxBpYv
"Just get to the point, 1209Please respect copyright.PENANANPBDyIVhDR
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAinvtnBGWFx
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAdXYPGa9qSA
"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1209Please respect copyright.PENANALCect9tuK9
"Today? Are you serious?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPp7B2rzTnX
"You know that I am. We meet today."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtD2FB10tWn
"But where?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtTpvXCMDIl
"At the mall."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7f7GPT4R7X
For a moment I almost 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAee0vxAiELB
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUGugiqDDAV
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAAdcaoD3Xc8
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGgcP1ve9ZZ
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOHZdU7Fbce
"What's so funny?" Jehan1209Please respect copyright.PENANAz0huLEvFZ7
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbPX3hpzPKN
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmxePwzVbqF
myself.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqSagXyUwUj
"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAgElzAkvpwU
"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAVi1Dn6eUJx
If he thought saying 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3TdAdw4IYx
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXouYIepjgK
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAKoV5Oh4kxY
"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAVh11PC1Rul
"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9hfAiF8cCq
"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA4HEOo9k7td
"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGArzSzGfLD
"Ya, sure."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsJJJGHTJrW
Jehan didn't say 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3bJRYPjNAr
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAfnT1v4y54r
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJwyAi7FUS4
Typical.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOITnKno8W2
"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1m1RFYwZN1
"Oh, it was Seungri," I lied. "He wanted to see if I was free right now so that the two of us could hang out."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAc6Qmh4q3Ws
"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxmfNV5rIY3
"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAe7wnA8MNB8
"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA5gNxxbG6fz
"Why? You think I would?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAECRwlTM9YL
"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAjOjlapIPyn
"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAVUibJECDlL
"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAoHS4oEVuDw
"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6kwL6pJ1ID
"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAk9EiZh5X0N
"That one. Where is it?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAW1x1UDzGJ5
"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZnpXNSBVaR
"I just want to ask if it's still around. That's all. I hadn't seen it ever since we went bowling that other day."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbduF89mb9o
Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcy1fLDoUV7
"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6gUFcOZcVx
"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7yzhfApmgb
"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1209Please respect copyright.PENANALKigS514Iv
Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxEloGGMGVO
I quietly went over to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA4K2dd02jmU
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFgHg7yN3b5
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1209Please respect copyright.PENANAi7wqO4bFiQ
soon.1209Please respect copyright.PENANALeYCAXMAdc
I came to the drawer 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAa58rfP9dO8
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxfk5xQzU0C
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGFfycXRaxG
I looked at her bed and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtthzR74CDP
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvgYZY8rFJO
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1209Please respect copyright.PENANApsXNkZcFga
"There you are," I said softly as I took the teddy. "I think it's now time for you to leave once and for all."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyL1fGBdRoG
I heard the tap in the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPoU4W8fgSC
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA08d1gjFDGv
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUHbR0QAqWv
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7lraWCizyz
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuyczpJf5Hg
***1209Please respect copyright.PENANAdTWG2VIQZP
Sam's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.PENANAE451THxlMn
"Do you really think 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnLcpA4fNIN
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAeUrxQiAWWn
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA31jg3k9WNl
"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAE5CeQ97GtJ
"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYP9UFoYuP0
"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAEJL3X9sjSk
"I hope it's not drugs."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA4QPBTXoQDE
"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAppdf1A9Se9
"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAoQceS0SQZG
"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHu8aSUvR2I
"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAw3bGJ3YMga
"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnPy1Bii3pS
"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwNqyKQuAVE
"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAlpi30nit03
"She did a pretty good job on that one."1209Please respect copyright.PENANADjxYRKyNqO
"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuRguUbNgl3
"Zoey."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFkfz3XA7mH
"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtVsPTl7HY6
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAgIRMqWJI0U
they couldn't because of our little fight."1209Please respect copyright.PENANADStayFW4ka
"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1209Please respect copyright.PENANALTZUHyWajG
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtznBmWqMpo
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtXodugRdCg
I raised an eyebrow at 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuFV5NdD0bs
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6n6y3Wz1Nt
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAihlZxSGqXy
"Shoot!" I said loudly 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOKzgHgqsAP
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1209Please respect copyright.PENANATuIYGAqITR
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7KfXCMjtU
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAEoB78u8Utq
"About what?" Lee asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUqJ19DLLJg
"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZVb8oqrUtJ
"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA5hNSBTN6BS
"But today might be the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAT7UH3Z5h8x
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1209Please respect copyright.PENANACLqdrIUWNF
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxgNAqeSJTU
"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3iLHzYv9re
My heart rate quickened 1209Please respect copyright.PENANABxUnbHkIJB
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7WoLFwtPIK
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9ubdJxDm6M
"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHgInleNhWN
"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA0fyo6ZDJnO
"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsY3Dv6YgBx
"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAQVL7MDPrGZ
"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA0LTnR7VVHz
Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwGQNbJYrRV
"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtvTPHb3uBq
There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUZW0GWmSrn
"Alright, thanks, 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmsZtNriMP2
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcy1jRD4UU6
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAMq32wwlFLX
Seungri."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAWA9n0rMI1V
I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwIKglzUlTh
"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ2uEcIVgf
"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUiamzSMGj9
"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcxJgB7Lr2T
I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6StmnyEBjJ
"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcXkgGZbPiO
"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9vaxU5TCfi
"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2bv82bg7EX
"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJNMAXDZ7Sj
"Yes, I am." I could 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAfmcIU362Ru
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1209Please respect copyright.PENANATYwrdpwQQW
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyDM9ocsgJA
perhaps?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqMjQKA0WBK
I rolled my eyes and as 1209Please respect copyright.PENANALJELj1lbRY
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmIBOnKbYYI
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1209Please respect copyright.PENANAq3q0vKNqVm
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFpFc7Bs02D
"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA12Oj6PNDYp
"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnZFukMfAUM
I bit my lower lip and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAp2oytODSIP
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7JQdxcXFeM
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1209Please respect copyright.PENANASX6msyYNln
"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAct54U4NHzs
"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7CS5aYiNOK
"I'm at the mall with Lee."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUy8CqRGUQ1
"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAesGujGiOS9
"Bye."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAKEk8kFPaNF
"Bye, my little kitty."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwMdeMJwd7W
"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1209Please respect copyright.PENANApMdVbgQqKJ
"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2tYxdIt9u1
"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAl4AvO7FzKE
"Nope. And he isn't 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZYayLLCjmu
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwNZd97CqRL
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvmrVhaX8fY
"Oh." Lee took her smoothie and sucked on the straw. "Umm, what are we going to do now? We have to know where Zoey is."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmmj5sdtj0v
"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAchGlBmv8kB
"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAI3C2LDyQkR
I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXdTPjGMSMZ
Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1209Please respect copyright.PENANADXrV4eocTT
"Tell me about it." I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxLTuqZpiy8
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGMyGWD1ho6
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1209Please respect copyright.PENANALvRfEkdtWn
"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAssihrwgJZp
I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1209Please respect copyright.PENANALvSJYGzH7g
After we were done with 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAK9JpTG7biT
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAAqS7Xs6Pxj
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1209Please respect copyright.PENANApn1zmVUGpG
As soon as we walked out1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwXekxsKmHT
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1209Please respect copyright.PENANA0F7cyRs5Jz
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAceQ9YpCBZP
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1209Please respect copyright.PENANASWxH6RFz0N
looking black suit stepped out.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA0qtportkFq
Time seemed to have 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAiTHzdTf7fm
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtiwIkUAXwh
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1209Please respect copyright.PENANASOA7TKDudi
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZQXLiH7KGc
something familiar about him.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqzvZyJ7R1Y
Just as I was about to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnJvknppAt7
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzjMcClQnpZ
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqYJXhmfA7W
I almost tripped and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAhqZQ1X1d8N
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGlEn6S1tjc
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1209Please respect copyright.PENANATph1Oxfqmo
me from falling.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxGtAyDb1LP
"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAEbet1r7cME
I didn't say a word as I1209Please respect copyright.PENANAElLOAzmb2K
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAQvDwindTGH
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZRaThiUdA3
"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAkqbkjz9W20
"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAVOuspd3Af9
"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2negmeoAmq
"May I please know what's going on with you?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANADMNGODfs25
"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1209Please respect copyright.PENANALUeqL91sEI
***1209Please respect copyright.PENANALGDS6hdD5A
Narrator's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6481eqjioM
Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGB8caxWS4s
"Hey guys, am here," 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAVlFLS0Rrqd
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1209Please respect copyright.PENANApGtwHK78go
look downcast as though someone's just died."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA34Dg4CDsiN
"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbVKin7RIrC
"This is getting real 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAL1ueRijG2o
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1209Please respect copyright.PENANADzQRZMITUJ
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAgbVhNfYiNy
her or with anyone of you."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmklk1St17A
"No, I think now is the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2S6ZnE1Bte
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1209Please respect copyright.PENANAijegEWYxl6
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6r0fmDzCCr
"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAEyuXGBZyXb
"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA5NoDHSfVYV
"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA4rypUCdjgi
"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmiLG3M6ji3
"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAF2Isk9u6B4
"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1209Please respect copyright.PENANArwLYsx8EhD
"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAY2ozQktEXr
The others rolled their 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1myxym1vz7
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9cm00aq2GA
around and now wasn't the time for it.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsAc8o8Sd2r
"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZDEwzuIezG
"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1209Please respect copyright.PENANATOL8OCiEaT
G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYMXg2srof0
"Well, maybe," said 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9Rb4nuCou7
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1EZArpHh6H
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPvOV1Ow809
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAhIkJdXeiIe
"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAG4edoOKBhO
"When I saw Daesung and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANATZ44ZsJziA
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPARpeZJe5D
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJl9oVEUlXV
"And you still are," said Taeyang.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA12df8GGKav
G-Dragon didn't answer 1209Please respect copyright.PENANALmWc3NjbaW
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAQY7w0n0Yyw
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1VnmsDCOXZ
"Oh, I get it now," said Seungri, as he looked up at the ceiling. "But I see no reason why Sam could be in the wrong here."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxnWaqtLP8j
"What do you mean?" 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAVbtYK96O9D
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAo3nfiw5p4g
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUJhFp0X0Ey
"She was just doing that1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZZeor71Mer
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAetQRAZxkEE
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAIN1BbFGtYo
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPA1m58AnGm
be together."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAeIUxvemqEJ
"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyDrAltksMI
"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAjup8ISryPB
All the four BigBang 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAe7YgIVGmxO
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzfQXuw6EVF
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYTslqecRgL
heard him come in.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxmmDNYXRlp
"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFnSXyLzFcB
"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXLJMyKQycv
"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8yLc1SYGAg
"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANACfZwE4aXdT
"I'm not going to stay 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqr1CDqpHoV
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFOBUKFBqyH
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAVYrLI1p60K
"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAEnDikPh6Vu
"No, I don't."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtRV7tZowlX
Before G-Dragon could 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtymkcyLcBg
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAfgBx6tduzH
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAAqzQyfmsL9
"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAfki8Cigqng
"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA61iFsvvvDk
"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZlruQNDTOa
G-Dragon folded his arms1209Please respect copyright.PENANA67di8hxYsw
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2hwwHjinoI
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANACuVqnMpvlG
stared at the ceiling.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFIr3ERq47n
"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzc0t8babkm
Daesung came into the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAy0d7lpJjnr
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAhRaizS9d9l
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAo5clSqpo2G
"Look, I know you're 1209Please respect copyright.PENANALUNfJHmbhz
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtN4p8xD9Sl
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAlCAKcAwAD4
never told me anything either."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuM9Ij8VcIo
"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYCUsAzQHz9
"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAdFcybNm7OS
"Why?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyPE8JtFIPJ
"She just felt like it 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAduPT4wmpKO
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1209Please respect copyright.PENANADsgykmYPYU
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXjykeyaBdo
long distance relationships will ever work out."1209Please respect copyright.PENANASlGcfR733i
"Then, why did you kiss her?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAfUhOQigGnu
"Because I know I'll 1209Please respect copyright.PENANARz5dwjmF3h
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXWySB6pICW
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzsDvO3Lmq8
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwshbqNhk0V
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzAAGTUGKBZ
want to hurt anyone either.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAEKGZF9KJo4
"Maybe that's why she 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXzO540tgkD
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAw66FcjSubX
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1209Please respect copyright.PENANAC0JmobOcIU
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1209Please respect copyright.PENANACtPbrI9tka
"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1209Please respect copyright.PENANABL18vhanjA
"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANArBwsmULfU7
"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAccDbmh4BQO
"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAleP2jsJIOP
"I know."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAVZB4zJqbhV
"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANASf84jDCwnT
"I'll think about it."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAEUWukWlJT5
"No, no, no!" Seungri 1209Please respect copyright.PENANARUCL0fFBgp
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUqCXJvdzFt
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOFOf1C8pYZ
the mall."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAT0Kq7e4I67
Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAE7xrOb1BeP
"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAio1OHd2nmX
"Ya," said Seungri, 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzLvf5cEMG3
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuXZyNDv6Rl
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZC5BYgqYds
"No way! I'm not going to the mall," said G-Dragon. "What am I going to say? I need more time to think about it."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3Hnqafn3DN
"There is no time to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANArr0xbFpOfW
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcveMcb5jSb
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAl4RJ7LxPlK
"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1209Please respect copyright.PENANArU4d84sqQL
"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbeBbXyso44
"We're your best 1209Please respect copyright.PENANANhxyD7KOLg
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAiUL0GJbeTO
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAX1GcOGvkgv
"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3mVmWN3WPi

Zoey's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.PENANA5xmcd5VO4f
I came out of the black 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAquvIlGQF97
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHe3fHQHx8U
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAO5eDhviiCh
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1209Please respect copyright.PENANABUxEu8bIGx
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA0LHUOxEnCx
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3dc2VQZLHa
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1209Please respect copyright.PENANArG7YgVPCxF
by my fans.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAt6ThUb7uF3
I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPV7iSUnBiY
"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUNgKiuIfPE
"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwBrWQsHmxh
"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYKLg0lWhMF
"Okay."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAy8vhYedn0v
"Did you bring what I asked for?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANApu3VCopk5r
I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAn7I0sS6abu
"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbRvu1ONBcu
"Well, I'm glad you 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOR2QDD1HiR
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAs3I6W5uNUh
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXNuVhz6zP9
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwcq46TTVUh
lot smarter than you think."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyeFlmT8bDQ
"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAclYCt19adB
"Mr Grumpy is such a 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAgLFwfV1Qzt
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAlVxRfaWxjc
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAlGyG7TDTTK
When I went into the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAMWG2v7WdCL
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnYvWILHXQ1
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyPLb1nnGbd
I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyFZR4CRJG9
"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1209Please respect copyright.PENANArrB3U5ImMc
"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtdrk3VcNjp
I shivered. Despite his 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA4DuGMxRTzs
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1209Please respect copyright.PENANArgHcSOjcqT
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6GIroBGVYy
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsnsOMlLMqL
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuc6fafp65c
"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAntOIZbCkhJ
"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8l56RN3wQE
"Why do you need to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANALpCbuyfF9m
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAfoepJ1e1J1
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAr10FsaYo8p
"Well, I need to know 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxrcajeDrMQ
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnPXo0kYeWk
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmgBgJNBjTG
"And tell me, why should1209Please respect copyright.PENANAj7Be5nBIIW
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9R6rtDyaNu
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAi4byPRxiZi
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAKqF6dkLCCw
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA5oUXgt11PG
"I...eh..." I looked him1209Please respect copyright.PENANAo8TJfVCNQh
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcTV6LcJnWV
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUciBLTTclv
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXOwRRQgEa6
the kind who would send such a thing."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAEXHY8OoWbz
"Oh, really?" Jehan 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHmEz1uabM9
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtA6n6TTELM
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAr15mFW6TM4
"I don't know." I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFjksCMz1WS
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9kcoX4Xi44
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFkf1PrCrbd
up to?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAgAMiJka8QV
Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA29XQ02XTtd
"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1209Please respect copyright.PENANANfst0SGSnL
"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnHVRvGttUv
"What's the matter with that?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXrJPOtWg4Q
"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAk9qdN6rCKK
"Don't test my patience,1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyb4Cuz9ycm
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANALef57ab1RS
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXCLyo9ZVJp
think you deserve to you know."1209Please respect copyright.PENANANTlNqbliSo
"Well, yes, I do."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPagboBKJz8
Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAj5RVXv5Cqj
***1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbhu96625cZ
Sam's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.PENANACJzin9nnWZ
I could see Zoey from 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAAWsMYL3UId
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ9Ixa7y9k
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyNydzIgZsc
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmwrAprJ7jb
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA4SY5dQwKOB
I was entirely grateful 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8VVaURygQM
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAT6iVkrQD2X
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8tVbqUI547
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1209Please respect copyright.PENANAU8XMHS84qm
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAAFe3ng5Q4z
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA4lTiAmvnUZ
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxN9LPFvotK
"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAKJyQsbpYAj
"Believe me, he is," I said as I looked at a nice beige top on a hanger and then took a brief glance out the window.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAs0Hb3kY0G0
"But how did you know 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAF8AjI1mmke
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAedbfgN7lZQ
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAT3mlDQZd42
"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAQzPYIG3vkx
Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPwFwyarnW8
"Well, ya," I said as I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAONQrCGxtvo
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1209Please respect copyright.PENANABgJTWQ3Ms8
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZngc0DNHn9
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAN07iEhVBLR
Lee turned to the window1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsascGxrc9s
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqxtgAOYe6C
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7vu6eXXNdg
"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAD5uTvT7rJC
"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1209Please respect copyright.PENANADnPGfDXD9z
"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAIC8wsHsyOJ
"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1Bti8Ch2sg
"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtAeQGcJ5Ej
Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYWuYvchwZQ
"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1209Please respect copyright.PENANABocSyV3zu2
We made sure to keep a 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAe9l0nhsQTy
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAlbsWPjUuoI
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAKyaEqYwHtV
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2ontFPG3Pg
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbJMo9ATExN
They went down the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAa7cfHaUChR
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHVpefaBo9Y
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAkHvkiK1ifT
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9IL4gDHDEl
They were led by a 1209Please respect copyright.PENANACT8qylMAt1
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5JQhaaPry
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnCltDiPPng
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbsWIVYtL32
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA5TTNimVOjA
restaurant.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHadPJO1hG0
"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHzHolftF6r
"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1209Please respect copyright.PENANADmCdCH9zra
"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAysGUR1AqS2
"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANADAXglaD3LV
"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAivYSm0bGM1
"Me neither. But what to1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3FRIkHCCKo
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1209Please respect copyright.PENANActQV9U01rH
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAiIRyH1V8vX
I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAheWseL1Q2j
"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8ksZX6bPom
"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwNaxgYjJm0
My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANApN8eKjHeJ3
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAlNYAyGI2RG
Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAKyqYK7xosU
"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANApKtCPDi7mZ
"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbt089Tq9So
"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnFs6IBnYp0
"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmspgdUYCND
"Don't worry. Seungri 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA84KdwEldo5
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAViWHOwOm5B
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAn93Fkptoqy
and she will know something fishy is going on."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAgyWuNmkq8E
"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAAoFFnLjMGq
"I hope so too."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAMpJhYFSolj
***1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbfPfv5cMt3
Zoey's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmtxtAe0JkH
I looked at the menu and1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1WOn0ol9mv
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8qsj7QClag
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1209Please respect copyright.PENANApZTwRhLnyX
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYDqDyBy1Zb
looked up at me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuOU6LVfZx3
"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAkCcKXptoPN
"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbr7xPUsW9l
"Why?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAblOwdK5DpL
I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqx3AlIY6KI
"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAVQOTCGotkB
"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1209Please respect copyright.PENANADVTylofapc
I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqdvNXaMYkL
"What?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJtAu72bh35
"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA17BLi3661N
"I'll try not to next 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJ32WzcIQSY
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1209Please respect copyright.PENANAEajOR4sbRg
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZB5WtsIFc9
"Now, are you going to tell me?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2gqKYCcNtj
"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAoAQiPakBUm
"Not tell anyone."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYSq8JuScbI
Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAjoj1DgsLLN
"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyOVJ04jDNq
"I smuggle diamonds."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFBAFON39Ph
My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAr2iHQ4qwpL
"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6bvKKo0l6D
"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAlTIrgmXeKs
"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAKu7F3ULLxJ
"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2umApIK08I
The waiter came with our1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzSXHuhypMC
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGU8hnob9nJ
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAu7G5ZQnCPi
"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAWsdc1mb8ic
"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAr3fV2Ny5hD
"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqrO34Cj7w6
"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAM8oLX2K3ZX
"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJW3U8H4lP2
"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtntrSs96yP
"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2KQUo6YQwz
"Is that why you're so rich?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANARkd59gqRuY
"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1209Please respect copyright.PENANArh423GOyMY
"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnWnuDW7Cfx
Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6VHirCxNdQ
I gulped. He was giving 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyBnxAjTGoR
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1209Please respect copyright.PENANAPRERnIxNGa
manage to get out of this lunch, alive.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcouR3dpXie
***1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9yNcnf92VT
Sam's P.O.V1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwNBI1y1wdn
I was waiting by the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANASgRSSHLY7K
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAL31MBwKowj
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAlYItc2UB4m
car? What was he doing here?1209Please respect copyright.PENANAWUQIim2ZMb
Seungri came out of the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnf597Er7Vk
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAiZQzGAQqs7
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvpbL03Gne1
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzpV5hDmeDQ
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOMbRZdr9ju
what I was expecting.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAz21mccNwlV
I trembled. What am I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHSuuAE2tXb
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1209Please respect copyright.PENANASVvOH2YN0s
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8PrzBFPasv
give Mr Teddy away.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAMsislNWaYC
"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7lTZg6hGYZ
"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1209Please respect copyright.PENANAx6FY5nortt
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAZSMaMU6rrd
"I, no....I," I didn't 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3a0chGKWua
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1209Please respect copyright.PENANArC9vauoXX5
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUzoevv37HA
"I was only expecting 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAlcAy49Jogn
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAMIFNxNzJQ5
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAaMfh7IR8Ki
seeing the two of them together.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwzWczXrrB7
"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXDl7fsnQcy
"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwHxIDi0XSj
"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9y9PkFW2eK
"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAchX8q4FHMD
"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAd4pgOwxXbQ
"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqM4NQGJKwI
"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA0dO2FF2tpk
"Come with me," I said 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAy0cjdjLBV9
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA5kjOlehEZI
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvQoxLJlUWR
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAMBTenlUHhJ
When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAAUqXHhPgk3
"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAoaKqMrE6Db
"Hi, guys. You're 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmjp26Sxk4H
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1209Please respect copyright.PENANATtd4jmYQvv
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAoE9pKAzywJ
"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAe6BwE6NmsR
"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuL0dWSkcGr
I could feel Lee's eyes on me and I could tell she was scared of telling them the truth. So, I had to do the talking.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7PZLWJgNEz
"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANADNrgfYOiGK
The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcMoTGNdGg3
"Well, if you look into 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA72SjY17TAv
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAB5g0sHamsx
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1209Please respect copyright.PENANApeJjiNhPyB
The five all turned to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAw2b5bv22xn
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAgWpqc4pIDS
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvKcF8P0FKK
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmcIllle31U
"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA25avWKPTb6
Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAjkymOWwKVU
"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAA5kDAawdyB
"Yes, I do," said G-Dragon looking through the glass window. "We met him at the fashion show. I'm surprised why he is here."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAh3Jwbx8gX0
"We were also wondering 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwYea6FeUWc
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvLNrf6KU2a
them, but decided that I would rather not."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxXO5VaKXWS
"Why?" Daesung asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8AFq450Eql
"Well, Zoey seems to be 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAi6hT041Fw8
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1209Please respect copyright.PENANACmjal28R2I
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3cdP3L38Y9
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAGfaovTh94w
"Aww, so sweet of you to think I could solve that out for you, my little kitty," said Seungri with a smile on his face.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuPIATBAZfc
"Huh? Wait a minute," 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA7AcNEYxtrH
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsUOx7DsdJD
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAp4GT15eIfW
"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ah31KEwoQ
"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1209Please respect copyright.PENANANvW2Z2HD4F
Everyone turned to look 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHUEPdbzKTN
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYMnkL67wmr
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAskT1Tvh2Du
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAM1aU9L0jqw
"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAWumWjBhlsi
Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1209Please respect copyright.PENANADr0Ev9vD8N
"Here you're now 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOBLof9888c
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJiw6k1TVrv
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1209Please respect copyright.PENANANWF7DrL9S6
"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAu2B9ihJcOx
"I'll talk with G-Dragon1209Please respect copyright.PENANAg5WctHVBVB
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1209Please respect copyright.PENANApzKUJh6pDt
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcIw6JrSjo5
something, quick.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAubKn5fYAeI
"Okay, fine, we will 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAMZqaOJMICr
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAKchcqkSMjq
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJGXIzrjlk9
Yes. Finally. I thought 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAgY6wlbsf9n
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAQlt2kcnOho
everything was going to be delayed.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHVsp4HpPEk
"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAk3J3zj3rbV
"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA960pWGEk4P
Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuOeFXUhKBl
"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUpH5X5WykR
As much as I wanted to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1CHm5HwZOj
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzxknGtaACR

enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1209Please respect copyright.PENANAF7xMDIE8rK
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAteoLwUBBJN
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXeaF1Havjg
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAfq1gNSYbBL
"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1O3YUJTF7x
"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAsEmbdtDYSm
"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA4FC6mWJwqc
"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYHdZsSId3o
"Looks like you're getting all worked up for nothing, Zoey." Jehan got a napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAVfenzVu2ih
"What do you want me to 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwGDrmBKR1U
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8GqVuzvlil
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAE0hgXX7EWv
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3CQ11b5P2F
"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA0SSljakfc8
"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUmiBmuiRbi
Jehan shook his head and1209Please respect copyright.PENANA0j82ldxma3
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcqtCJ2jYPt
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAldjBly6nAS
annoying."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAUIWiJe0CQF
"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAHrmoNwM43S
"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAbNMXGX5uQY
"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAXdSW6AJeEX
"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAoYFGPhQGXC
"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1209Please respect copyright.PENANArbc9QieQZn
Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYh6VsmhbAQ
"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAanu2fMePQY
Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAM5sg6wZ3Zz
"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAiGaiWPvw0N
Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAcnMwNVqxsw
"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzhUAZpdRmy
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA77S1Cjo9hC
"Yes, for real."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAfh8Lgucpmz
"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAgSrwgz2IIR
"Yes. Maybe we will meet1209Please respect copyright.PENANAhLFYY5F5yh
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYwb1ECBBuR
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAIctPAQGyqy
"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAhjXa4z6OT4
"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1209Please respect copyright.PENANALzZji6n8qZ
"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1209Please respect copyright.PENANANs8YwF98NB
"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAMCaorGeSdj
I took a deep breath. This was it. Once I give him the teddy, it will all be over and I can finally be in peace.1209Please respect copyright.PENANARUDHxCXRO7
Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxXPPlHKYN4
"Zoey, hey!"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAkUc8WKQZYS
Seungri? I quickly 1209Please respect copyright.PENANACXYgBc7EdE
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1209Please respect copyright.PENANATMmSu22xrt
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAr2AwyQnRfF
here?1209Please respect copyright.PENANAvxV0wX9yaS
They came over to our 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0bz9Dh8zG
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAFCw6KbwFvP
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1209Please respect copyright.PENANAOvBnVSzIRb
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAiGvdlqOwbU
to do now?1209Please respect copyright.PENANA53bDVkhQbv
"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtD3v3oumR2
"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAlMq77HEegi
"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAc8oZGqavzx
"Jehan."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAA3JfnzarpE
"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAA1Y39Jx2wE
"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1209Please respect copyright.PENANANrIeuT16jq
"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1209Please respect copyright.PENANAU5AVA0lgqX
"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAf7JEEXovKo
"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAnNXZHY1KkI
"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1209Please respect copyright.PENANATOaH1uEg8w
"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzAIP6PILDm
I almost spit out the 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAAKTP6HwPZP
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAK6PJeB3ZIJ
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtT9EbaKBMY
to water.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAxJPtDMjG3k
"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1209Please respect copyright.PENANADqlo9VrYYf
"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1209Please respect copyright.PENANA2Cw0ewygQe
"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA72p8pLnyiP
Jehan looked at me and I1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtNAdVHk5N2
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAAQPlpoMvQZ
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ6uh02rfz
"May I ask what you're 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAao1mXATq2a
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAEntAyurj4Z
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAMITYD27vHm
"Oh, we just came here 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtfPKCjZ6UY
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAz402s7UdH4
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAyMp3Z76ZBe
"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8i0zLb4Q2H
"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1209Please respect copyright.PENANABeqJkzPsGz
Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAC8WQVdblw2
"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA1V1lqwNO5O
"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAedOjzFCpkN
"Yes, we will," said 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAqrmhZPfG39
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1209Please respect copyright.PENANAhhVNbRcaWX
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAzeeCat3l74
"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1209Please respect copyright.PENANAuMN9altnuI
"You too," said Seungri.1209Please respect copyright.PENANA3CYudivnSq
Jehan gave a small smile1209Please respect copyright.PENANA8tJDxrrcSw
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6q0jIXqmlQ
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1209Please respect copyright.PENANAv7N0SHw6oP
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1209Please respect copyright.PENANAwX6LiwHXFO
"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1209Please respect copyright.PENANA9ljAbhpzFL
"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1209Please respect copyright.PENANASPkljyyxOs
"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1209Please respect copyright.PENANACsZFjudtmP
"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAtxczVLCmwc
I wondered how I was 1209Please respect copyright.PENANATl3b74xPgN
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1209Please respect copyright.PENANA6uY4JHBU0a
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1209Please respect copyright.PENANAYr50i3RStC
head until I give the teddy bear away.1209Please respect copyright.PENANAmtalOUaAD3
This was just great!
