Zoey's P.O.V950Please respect copyright.PENANAIWd7BK122J
Waking up this Monday 950Please respect copyright.PENANAZabWG4BtB5
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 950Please respect copyright.PENANAGtrmi2TnL1
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 950Please respect copyright.PENANAMKQBMyvetv
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 950Please respect copyright.PENANA03immLR6dO
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected950Please respect copyright.PENANAyoVDdyT9Hz
myself to be.950Please respect copyright.PENANAT3Yo69Y1ea
I couldn't stop 950Please respect copyright.PENANAxnUBeWN0qO
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much950Please respect copyright.PENANAdCyYhh3gR5
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 950Please respect copyright.PENANACuk81PTZed
feel that something was wrong.950Please respect copyright.PENANAfqSK6Tkel8
Could they have known 950Please respect copyright.PENANAuQJpYH5SC2
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 950Please respect copyright.PENANA6zNnvlZqM5
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 950Please respect copyright.PENANALRs326Ytre
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 950Please respect copyright.PENANAGFtRKHJSiI
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 950Please respect copyright.PENANA57miu8LOVS
just had our usual conversation.950Please respect copyright.PENANABsnQSxoy2G
I brushed off all those 950Please respect copyright.PENANASr8KJFHVY0
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The950Please respect copyright.PENANAB3NqnYqSaJ
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 950Please respect copyright.PENANA5OEztZCbsi
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when950Please respect copyright.PENANAdA1I2faKmC
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.950Please respect copyright.PENANAeeEyfIScDm
But now that she wasn't 950Please respect copyright.PENANAFX0lOJTHEl
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 950Please respect copyright.PENANAKi6eaX2eI5
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.950Please respect copyright.PENANAoc2n8staUt
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have950Please respect copyright.PENANAZd60rPEfvd
woken up early before the alarm rang.950Please respect copyright.PENANAtCu06VhKHk
I sat up on my bed and 950Please respect copyright.PENANAUFQeRMT9Y9
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 950Please respect copyright.PENANAaqwiNjE8Gf
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 950Please respect copyright.PENANAhLys34Br1m
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAGlAWxsUGUn
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.950Please respect copyright.PENANA832BpnFVQ8
After seeing her with 950Please respect copyright.PENANAlmMTMzgcoY
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I950Please respect copyright.PENANAf0PXnVTuGk
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I950Please respect copyright.PENANAEomRdxS4v1
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 950Please respect copyright.PENANAj4chuPabg1
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 950Please respect copyright.PENANAJMgw5SngTn
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole950Please respect copyright.PENANAX78nV7iulh
day. That left me devastated.950Please respect copyright.PENANA1nlOlQjOVJ
I couldn't stop looking 950Please respect copyright.PENANAa9UJ3O5RID
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 950Please respect copyright.PENANALShWguCZC6
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 950Please respect copyright.PENANAvn62RrwduI
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 950Please respect copyright.PENANAniiSSmBiZg
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They950Please respect copyright.PENANA4XWnYmbAjm
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 950Please respect copyright.PENANAyFO9pERom4
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.950Please respect copyright.PENANA6FsyeOMvP1
That sent me boiling to a950Please respect copyright.PENANAOYS7HmlobP
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me950Please respect copyright.PENANA6ujuaeTh40
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 950Please respect copyright.PENANAQhk9moM04g
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.950Please respect copyright.PENANAihPu1Bx8gb
Christine had told me to950Please respect copyright.PENANAgtwyeKLxfO
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 950Please respect copyright.PENANAHgyBhcItlf
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told950Please respect copyright.PENANAkLYLXKKU4V
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 950Please respect copyright.PENANARSKbfCAoCZ
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest950Please respect copyright.PENANAjyq2U6f1bQ
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 950Please respect copyright.PENANAbWCiQkRZqH
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.950Please respect copyright.PENANATfjqLJJSwQ
And now, I had to face 950Please respect copyright.PENANArKk7hIcuiN
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 950Please respect copyright.PENANAiBu4Oqu1FG
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music950Please respect copyright.PENANAKTN08SLuof
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 950Please respect copyright.PENANAdmHJLGRYE5
was still so upset.950Please respect copyright.PENANAAJjIj2V28f
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.950Please respect copyright.PENANAXKFy0IlIxn
After I was done, I 950Please respect copyright.PENANAP7VCD4pRNJ
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 950Please respect copyright.PENANA5XIBJMAPCc
others at the dining table for breakfast.950Please respect copyright.PENANAhhNlzxqNSh
I found them already 950Please respect copyright.PENANAF8FEh0C4In
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 950Please respect copyright.PENANAZo6yfCYL3U
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.950Please respect copyright.PENANAdTzAJaYOPr
I felt a little awkward 950Please respect copyright.PENANAuep0wF0OA3
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't950Please respect copyright.PENANAR1yV42uCef
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and950Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ98jlaaUu
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 950Please respect copyright.PENANAA94FpYj1AS
that also felt weird.950Please respect copyright.PENANAtHLatCipGW
I know that she and I 950Please respect copyright.PENANADjnXZGj7Hk
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 950Please respect copyright.PENANAJzYTElTLXP
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 950Please respect copyright.PENANA0fdQVnhZ9U
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 950Please respect copyright.PENANAkf1gn4t3vD
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 950Please respect copyright.PENANApe6YA0D3XQ
like something was wrong.950Please respect copyright.PENANAtkwyxhTSwP
I poured myself a cup of950Please respect copyright.PENANAh1tOXAAEjz
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 950Please respect copyright.PENANAdbleHlsntw
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.950Please respect copyright.PENANAjh9juWxaMQ
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAQT8V00PSMh
My heart almost skipped a950Please respect copyright.PENANApR9z0APzhW
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know950Please respect copyright.PENANAcdz6mqhYlu
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way950Please respect copyright.PENANAofMFBXoISp
too far. I was over here! Hello!950Please respect copyright.PENANAnQJsXwYPVt
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."950Please respect copyright.PENANA7p0KQBTkm1
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.950Please respect copyright.PENANAgttM5MZnvh
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.950Please respect copyright.PENANAnR091AXkCx
"I have no doubt about it."950Please respect copyright.PENANAF6DYb1H1pl
"But I don't see why you950Please respect copyright.PENANA3a64HeF7Ps
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 950Please respect copyright.PENANApVA166KSBA
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."950Please respect copyright.PENANAbx8WXKcTUA
"One thing about fans is950Please respect copyright.PENANAfVXM7UCJbf
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 950Please respect copyright.PENANA8DUzdTSZeJ
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.950Please respect copyright.PENANA7kAtioUsOB
"I know," said Lee. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAnfwodurI2K
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 950Please respect copyright.PENANABdA4iwochx
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 950Please respect copyright.PENANA1eZvA1CFq9
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."950Please respect copyright.PENANArBegyES4BT
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.950Please respect copyright.PENANAY4HTDFatQj
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."950Please respect copyright.PENANANdnugywvN5
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.950Please respect copyright.PENANApoburDjNM9
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."950Please respect copyright.PENANAEE4PPLMum2
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.950Please respect copyright.PENANAGb3kTM1Nc7
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.950Please respect copyright.PENANAusjGLgWDdO
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.950Please respect copyright.PENANAYp0zJys6TV
"You're just too quiet, that's all."950Please respect copyright.PENANAqooTHkzKbv
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."950Please respect copyright.PENANAhH7qyh4gVS
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."950Please respect copyright.PENANANqGeuHrdVk
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.950Please respect copyright.PENANAe1tMZimhho
I stuck my tongue out at950Please respect copyright.PENANAjUTDCwrbKj
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the950Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5EKwvIc9U
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 950Please respect copyright.PENANAzg4ZsUGVsS
still wasn't looking in my direction.950Please respect copyright.PENANAX0ZoZOYMwg
Soon after breakfast, we950Please respect copyright.PENANAadNOD0AyRx
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were950Please respect copyright.PENANA3SEOjxq6am
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 950Please respect copyright.PENANAgimLuOPBTY
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 950Please respect copyright.PENANAgBZ8n3qRZq
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what950Please respect copyright.PENANADBh4udN9iD
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 950Please respect copyright.PENANAXfb1r0iLTX
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 950Please respect copyright.PENANApdouhUzpys
she would.950Please respect copyright.PENANAlfpMgysCXl
We arrived at YG and we 950Please respect copyright.PENANAcCuHl32w4U
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 950Please respect copyright.PENANA4lfIe8B9BQ
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with950Please respect copyright.PENANAXSZt2wiN1O
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.950Please respect copyright.PENANAsxjMJvYSC3
When everyone was 950Please respect copyright.PENANAFKkydVmUp4
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when950Please respect copyright.PENANAGLscrFLepr
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 950Please respect copyright.PENANA3lsDNUSNPM
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 950Please respect copyright.PENANAJdvcxcTYBi
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.950Please respect copyright.PENANAFgvbYeTnab
He not responding to me 950Please respect copyright.PENANAnz1aAddTQb
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He950Please respect copyright.PENANAkMq0BoV6rb
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted950Please respect copyright.PENANAG5wkNKhCPR
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 950Please respect copyright.PENANAKrROfPSfFs
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 950Please respect copyright.PENANA4827V0c5je
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just950Please respect copyright.PENANAd1XvYVDRxn
looked away instead.950Please respect copyright.PENANAmCeiiAU6id
We went straight to 950Please respect copyright.PENANAzWQrtfzN5Z
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 950Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ak4TDoih0
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 950Please respect copyright.PENANA1tgKgg1K8Q
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I950Please respect copyright.PENANAENEYlAXNBf
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 950Please respect copyright.PENANAEXRAjxOHPB
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.950Please respect copyright.PENANAiKnn34lHWz
During pratice, I 950Please respect copyright.PENANAfFEErQkeko
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 950Please respect copyright.PENANA5oHucHUD5f
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I950Please respect copyright.PENANAJZE3QA0X4t
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.950Please respect copyright.PENANAsrMe0nyuFv
G-Dragon wasn't the only950Please respect copyright.PENANAyZfvckl5lp
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAC3imz8favF
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 950Please respect copyright.PENANAKiXThOC0Nb
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 950Please respect copyright.PENANABeCo3f5AV1
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What950Please respect copyright.PENANAWjjVty5B4o
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?950Please respect copyright.PENANA3cHGZ7h00Q
As her best friend, I 950Please respect copyright.PENANAyJFeZcdv7l
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 950Please respect copyright.PENANADFnKLhdqKR
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 950Please respect copyright.PENANATif4zNbP5r
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 950Please respect copyright.PENANADUXkqAi75p
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.950Please respect copyright.PENANAopCM0Ba6eN
She is also smart, 950Please respect copyright.PENANAz0zVWZdPhh
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 950Please respect copyright.PENANAS7gqM9S5EG
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 950Please respect copyright.PENANApa8DtItnSC
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even950Please respect copyright.PENANAHA7BWwRCSL
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.950Please respect copyright.PENANAWG7OKLKF3w
Sam has a lot of good 950Please respect copyright.PENANAojZULRqS4B
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her950Please respect copyright.PENANASO3jXGoAbi
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 950Please respect copyright.PENANAlAsPfZ8x3y
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 950Please respect copyright.PENANAMWXHfwGt28
want to hurt anyone around her.950Please respect copyright.PENANA8vYzYXcMvy
Realising this made me 950Please respect copyright.PENANA7SwvNfed82
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 950Please respect copyright.PENANAkTV8BNSYau
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 950Please respect copyright.PENANAXKio89QYLg
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 950Please respect copyright.PENANAtyOEV5H9TJ
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 950Please respect copyright.PENANA1KpPW7z3ki
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 950Please respect copyright.PENANAjSG8oJTKGr
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 950Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0VzdHMygv
realise it till now.950Please respect copyright.PENANAuR49PRzgHm
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.950Please respect copyright.PENANAgF6DAtjmuM
"Zoey, you aren't 950Please respect copyright.PENANACVHvZAmikM
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 950Please respect copyright.PENANA5AUFK5UUVd
second time you have made the same mistake."950Please respect copyright.PENANAkyGFMJ5B3g
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."950Please respect copyright.PENANARLg8ju9kVs
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."950Please respect copyright.PENANAE2kU9eawGM
It was lunch the time we950Please respect copyright.PENANAclkBeIH87s
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 950Please respect copyright.PENANAWEhZ85RAOA
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 950Please respect copyright.PENANArYMulF7mUA
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 950Please respect copyright.PENANAv8EKjfJl4F
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 950Please respect copyright.PENANAWsTNf0guIi
they were all laughing.950Please respect copyright.PENANAn8DUCHc7kg
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.950Please respect copyright.PENANAwysAWQG8UG
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."950Please respect copyright.PENANAVjxN7ekz9I
"Still not talking to Sam?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAgsSYiiZHsk
"Nope."950Please respect copyright.PENANAakEZwkPOmE
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."950Please respect copyright.PENANA9owU62nNMb
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAeI3WSW4MrG
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.950Please respect copyright.PENANAX2FEBYdtnB
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.950Please respect copyright.PENANANs8O67Q7Xg
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."950Please respect copyright.PENANAjH7iSXy8xi
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."950Please respect copyright.PENANA9hwzHu6Imf
"I know. But you aren't 950Please respect copyright.PENANAfvpE9QKK5y
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 950Please respect copyright.PENANALcuFaOn1G9
You would be chit chatting like you always do."950Please respect copyright.PENANAbeijO6YXvP
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"950Please respect copyright.PENANA0cO9uIV9iy
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."950Please respect copyright.PENANAml8za7kKmo
I frowned. "Why?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAK3BQUZYj4t
"Because you look miserable."950Please respect copyright.PENANASB3zikVDqS
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.950Please respect copyright.PENANAo29K9nmHgn
"Miserable!"950Please respect copyright.PENANAXGjTzojpPB
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."950Please respect copyright.PENANAbxTAzT9GDC
I thought for a moment 950Please respect copyright.PENANA5tnWKo9O0Z
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAVj3tfuo1g4
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 950Please respect copyright.PENANAQsGAuSpLgR
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 950Please respect copyright.PENANAbtz4R8wrlM
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.950Please respect copyright.PENANAFtacVbdYex
Seeing all this in front950Please respect copyright.PENANA9WmjPwECtu
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 950Please respect copyright.PENANAUAlpGZKVYp
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 950Please respect copyright.PENANA1bav654duz
Until TOP came to talk to me.950Please respect copyright.PENANAuhfZ29GNRY
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."950Please respect copyright.PENANAM7TGnYe05z
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAkmA95PvOdJ
"I don't know," I said 950Please respect copyright.PENANABS1ygSOokx
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but950Please respect copyright.PENANAvM1UAVIxps
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."950Please respect copyright.PENANAxSSIhE2ltd
I told TOP what happened in the morning and how it felt weird that Sam didn't say a word to me nor even looked at me.950Please respect copyright.PENANAeuhbNlb4nm
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.950Please respect copyright.PENANAGfroHMnPIS
"Then why don't you talk to her?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAmOZPRAFizM
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."950Please respect copyright.PENANAvUALY8oIBM
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."950Please respect copyright.PENANAfajMr0r9Xi
"I know."950Please respect copyright.PENANAl5Dzri0mhU
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAuQJCdq169l
"I'll think about it."950Please respect copyright.PENANAU6OVwEMd0r
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAlVlOaXZpc7
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.950Please respect copyright.PENANAtzB4P9vaLG
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.950Please respect copyright.PENANA5Dv7KqD4eU
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.950Please respect copyright.PENANAsyWhO69heG
The three of us went out950Please respect copyright.PENANAdhk54XxNdy
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 950Please respect copyright.PENANAbMHN5zcHP3
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.950Please respect copyright.PENANAss3OjdnaZr
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.950Please respect copyright.PENANAiIFTq7Wmuq
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.950Please respect copyright.PENANAled92hYRBv
"Chill, you just ordered950Please respect copyright.PENANA6MQI0aBNZB
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one950Please respect copyright.PENANAVUVFSCUKPm
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.950Please respect copyright.PENANAgO5mWEkK48
"But I'm so hungry."950Please respect copyright.PENANAFtdnXc0Fqp
"Trust me, you aren't 950Please respect copyright.PENANA0HZqcutpRA
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 950Please respect copyright.PENANA1WShWwPIqy
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 950Please respect copyright.PENANAiUIWFp6Ilf
have."950Please respect copyright.PENANATK56GdorSV
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"950Please respect copyright.PENANALtIvw2hJeN
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.950Please respect copyright.PENANAyP8DguAt4n
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.950Please respect copyright.PENANAzJc28XVOeR
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."950Please respect copyright.PENANAD8DnzQzzji
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.950Please respect copyright.PENANARWHMZYxQVe
I didn't say anything as950Please respect copyright.PENANANKBsF7Fjnf
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 950Please respect copyright.PENANAd6UGoaCMNZ
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 950Please respect copyright.PENANAD12dE17ZDm
calling.950Please respect copyright.PENANAGwa1iV8O3e
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.950Please respect copyright.PENANAGw36o3ZFx9
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.950Please respect copyright.PENANADVhv5zn6NE
"Okay, well you better answer that call."950Please respect copyright.PENANAeGeVvOfgx3
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.950Please respect copyright.PENANATxFV9mL4wn
"Hello," I answered.950Please respect copyright.PENANADYUKlYRyMA
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"950Please respect copyright.PENANARdeKOcWau9
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAYzPSniJ8sH
"We have to meet today, ASAP."950Please respect copyright.PENANAaL9KMaGXVY
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."950Please respect copyright.PENANAzQIimcAMTY
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."950Please respect copyright.PENANAtMDtITog9w
I knew Jehan was going 950Please respect copyright.PENANAT8ve0IjMW3
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 950Please respect copyright.PENANAmkDUwZoyqO
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 950Please respect copyright.PENANAjdSTkPTzi9
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 950Please respect copyright.PENANA4EnKk5zgtq
was upstairs in the dance studio.950Please respect copyright.PENANANLLLxNu9Rq
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAsGglASoAcB
"I'm coming to YG to get it."950Please respect copyright.PENANActYPkzlrNZ
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."950Please respect copyright.PENANAHtPT2seQUJ
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."950Please respect copyright.PENANAoWBikZQtIm
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.950Please respect copyright.PENANA6IlfB36f9O
He cut the call and I 950Please respect copyright.PENANAyOa3HzHCcT
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through950Please respect copyright.PENANA9XXoa44Yvd
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here950Please respect copyright.PENANAdvY3S95hWk
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see950Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2DiCfYITH
him they would start to ask questions.950Please respect copyright.PENANAGdgOdsUJWt
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.950Please respect copyright.PENANAp26IPVCedq
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.950Please respect copyright.PENANAI0crbfRCnp
"What?" I asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAy4TB767Run
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANApd8vFiXmvT
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"950Please respect copyright.PENANA9AyRxrzKBD
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."950Please respect copyright.PENANALTEpQEjEDa
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."950Please respect copyright.PENANActubbUNaND
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."950Please respect copyright.PENANABk31wmyaAO
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."950Please respect copyright.PENANA1HSzw7mKEW
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAhKMWzMwOco
Dang it! I was cornered 950Please respect copyright.PENANATEqdIDhwvu
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 950Please respect copyright.PENANAPBcvlerDhu
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 950Please respect copyright.PENANAxQc7BQoNFi
light no matter how much you try to hide it.950Please respect copyright.PENANAFlvKHcnRoC
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."950Please respect copyright.PENANAqAUY2go7QY
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."950Please respect copyright.PENANAIKuZHOEM6W
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.950Please respect copyright.PENANAnwQeJFJwZA
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.950Please respect copyright.PENANAaWg02QaLPR
I told them everything 950Please respect copyright.PENANAqF0H3jz3Uz
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't950Please respect copyright.PENANAB1IiUIkNHN
said a word until I finished the whole story.950Please respect copyright.PENANAXLspfv7Q3y
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAfqkkOTGyFO
"Just you two," I answered.950Please respect copyright.PENANA85PKfjKadH
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAHmGHzsLzED
"Surprising, right?"950Please respect copyright.PENANA7HhvTSYSK5
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.950Please respect copyright.PENANAzVds385pwn
"We should involve the police," said TOP.950Please respect copyright.PENANAKCJ9yWCMzf
"No! We can't!"950Please respect copyright.PENANAlXuj2jtqaa
"Why?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAIx2q5qW7Q2
"You know word goes out 950Please respect copyright.PENANALmeFPROong
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and950Please respect copyright.PENANAxPO4oSgEPe
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."950Please respect copyright.PENANAhEbAcW3tSC
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANA5cDG6WZA3V
"He assured me that this950Please respect copyright.PENANAtPVPFbWLfX
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 950Please respect copyright.PENANAuzbY7H9jPC
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."950Please respect copyright.PENANA2YBFSo7G5n
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.950Please respect copyright.PENANA2AoPqF4s7v
The three of us turned 950Please respect copyright.PENANA2z1NetOaL2
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 950Please respect copyright.PENANAZQTCrz2ArE
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?950Please respect copyright.PENANALJwKdYfHjr
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.950Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5WhWdG1ou
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.950Please respect copyright.PENANAssiQAItLeO
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.950Please respect copyright.PENANAXFg3d5SHWK
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.950Please respect copyright.PENANAw4UxAbOJkt
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."950Please respect copyright.PENANALYxY14HvAk
"Random stuff involving a950Please respect copyright.PENANAdjcn1nvTy4
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 950Please respect copyright.PENANA1ksTiTiNNx
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 950Please respect copyright.PENANA3kYFlwHEtb
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 950Please respect copyright.PENANAev7yBz0abT
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."950Please respect copyright.PENANAj9gMhOd6XF
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?950Please respect copyright.PENANAUC4c9gGxB0
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."950Please respect copyright.PENANANi1cROP7FI
"Okay, I won't."950Please respect copyright.PENANA0tZvMEBvoz
"Sit down."950Please respect copyright.PENANAjBrUoO9BLt
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.950Please respect copyright.PENANAZnWXqy9wIO
"I got myself into trouble," I started.950Please respect copyright.PENANAxvJ4PkjQ1D
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAO0oTLzBYLT
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."950Please respect copyright.PENANAm3INR7B9c1
Christine's face soon 950Please respect copyright.PENANACiOqYVYcyz
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 950Please respect copyright.PENANA7E4INTs3O5
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....950Please respect copyright.PENANAlboIciHuJn
"What!"950Please respect copyright.PENANAyez0Ygzy0z
TOP quickly covered up 950Please respect copyright.PENANAFEbu6CfQSQ
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 950Please respect copyright.PENANAD9i3xF9aNb
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 950Please respect copyright.PENANAdxZzbFeaz0
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.950Please respect copyright.PENANANNknTaUCWx
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAIvzrCLbZgB
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAzbRb7bv7we
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.950Please respect copyright.PENANACfe6bmwxm0
"Of course I'm mad!" 950Please respect copyright.PENANAk7MFFHHPar
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 950Please respect copyright.PENANAiQmGw0ORgL
but this by far is the worst one of them all."950Please respect copyright.PENANATu765O0Fl5
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.950Please respect copyright.PENANAUAFvGkbJKG
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAj0gB3ciy3o
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"950Please respect copyright.PENANArNLRWDRMAa
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"950Please respect copyright.PENANALJvcrNre6D
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.950Please respect copyright.PENANA7XoRfAmhW7
"WHAT!"950Please respect copyright.PENANAjdLBOdRZdN
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.950Please respect copyright.PENANA3E3V8RYtbo
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAs7EOtsxZPX
"And the one I met at the café," I said.950Please respect copyright.PENANAB4VHZf8c76
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANA8lEEaVEZLY
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.950Please respect copyright.PENANAmMzloXuoHk
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAq4XTpIdH67
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.950Please respect copyright.PENANAH3Z3PIE3et
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.950Please respect copyright.PENANA74hFQeWFuY
"Ya," I said. "I planned950Please respect copyright.PENANAncycW8EkMH
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 950Please respect copyright.PENANAnuTsRn1HlF
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.950Please respect copyright.PENANAgATLtOJknF
"So you're the one who 950Please respect copyright.PENANA8X6AVlt0l2
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 950Please respect copyright.PENANAHGGwr1wQ6Q
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 950Please respect copyright.PENANA9Hwzy7jdSR
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 950Please respect copyright.PENANASAzzL9ql20
out with Seungri."950Please respect copyright.PENANAVm0VkMi7fk
"I lied."950Please respect copyright.PENANA5zAKeKJKe5
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."950Please respect copyright.PENANArzoQIbHr4O
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.950Please respect copyright.PENANAz9M7w4rqTv
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"950Please respect copyright.PENANApk0HgdHJkQ
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."950Please respect copyright.PENANAewM3G0dytz
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."950Please respect copyright.PENANAjUmHCk3Qa7
"I know. Now he wants the teddy bear back today. And I don't know what to do. He wanted to come here and get the teddy himself."950Please respect copyright.PENANADs7TmKUtpk
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAMOOHyFVKpa
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.950Please respect copyright.PENANArsjhPj2zd3
"Now where is she going to meet him now? She has to take that teddy bear away or else it could land us into more trouble."950Please respect copyright.PENANAqZmu64FgmK
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."950Please respect copyright.PENANA0KQsRisXJp
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.950Please respect copyright.PENANAa1I5LghwCT
"But where?" I asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAylGYi6zdtW
"Tell him you will meet at the café. The one you had met him in last time. TOP and I will take you there," said Seungri.950Please respect copyright.PENANAJakhdbIKYu
"I'm also coming with you," said Christine. "And don't refuse." She pointed her finger at me when I opened my mouth to object.950Please respect copyright.PENANAnxIf5uxAe7
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.950Please respect copyright.PENANA55I1EyN5B3
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.950Please respect copyright.PENANAva3hN8Ifg8
I took my phone out and 950Please respect copyright.PENANA1P4Ez5SPpo
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in950Please respect copyright.PENANAd3RCJsNM96
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.950Please respect copyright.PENANA4OGQqmCxzm
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.950Please respect copyright.PENANAXzShzNrtAA
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.950Please respect copyright.PENANAakh0GDTHT0
Seungri had ordered ten 950Please respect copyright.PENANAxMPw3VVkKp
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 950Please respect copyright.PENANAsC5UpL8ti6
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 950Please respect copyright.PENANAgfm8ubwECo
favourite.950Please respect copyright.PENANAeoX0rK0cCQ
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.950Please respect copyright.PENANA1slpBCeUME
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.950Please respect copyright.PENANAxHBaESdjhP
"I'll be ready for 950Please respect copyright.PENANApFPe5Rnqp5
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything950Please respect copyright.PENANALDtx0ntGly
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."950Please respect copyright.PENANAfSyVy724wG
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."950Please respect copyright.PENANAR6Ugy3VaTM
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.950Please respect copyright.PENANAOxJ0PeXLPJ
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."950Please respect copyright.PENANA7AGlO2yrPn
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.950Please respect copyright.PENANAwUR1k8y2mv
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."950Please respect copyright.PENANAqvlJmzkU65
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."950Please respect copyright.PENANAOUt8NM34UU
We found ourselves back 950Please respect copyright.PENANA1fzeZlDqzJ
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 950Please respect copyright.PENANAcilLvI3Gr1
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 950Please respect copyright.PENANAqz8Dyz0Fp3
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 950Please respect copyright.PENANAEhYWr3wYaB
paranoid?950Please respect copyright.PENANAiVgq1VfbBc
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.950Please respect copyright.PENANAnxBPrl2ztO
"What?" I asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAX9oMSCRTHP
"You were frowning," Christine answered.950Please respect copyright.PENANAesud0uOltR
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."950Please respect copyright.PENANA4TktxWW6Wb
"Says the person who 950Please respect copyright.PENANADBTG0klkuh
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 950Please respect copyright.PENANA29sISimQ5i
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 950Please respect copyright.PENANAqZAwZrFl4i
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.950Please respect copyright.PENANA6yHmkYkOfa
Soon after lunch, we 950Please respect copyright.PENANAnIi7d1oFbj
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 950Please respect copyright.PENANAoYHwBYLT8P
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time950Please respect copyright.PENANAcowxtD3VLp
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 950Please respect copyright.PENANAuLIT0m7OC6
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know950Please respect copyright.PENANAcQgaxUEsQN
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the950Please respect copyright.PENANAH6sDlvqRJm
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.950Please respect copyright.PENANAdFAth4ZJi9
At some point in the 950Please respect copyright.PENANAGz7kWdaAkx
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 950Please respect copyright.PENANAhxhfswA0w3
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 950Please respect copyright.PENANA9CkKLbyTup
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAShK9ndRheQ
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 950Please respect copyright.PENANAtSS1GpLeDv
back to practising until we could pratice no more.950Please respect copyright.PENANADAMybYXFku
It was five and the sun 950Please respect copyright.PENANAVM0sXoGaN6
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I950Please respect copyright.PENANAi8A2rTNwam
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 950Please respect copyright.PENANAIaMKV16QZh
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 950Please respect copyright.PENANAKJWtOnYe4O
side of me. We were all pretty tired.950Please respect copyright.PENANAKJGPxJmwuk
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.950Please respect copyright.PENANAyNaCAUCP1I
While I was resting and 950Please respect copyright.PENANAEwn7SeQonT
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 950Please respect copyright.PENANA1tGNrLJGgT
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 950Please respect copyright.PENANAOR236CQ0v6
look on my face.950Please respect copyright.PENANAFM8foBenau
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.950Please respect copyright.PENANAHrKERxWdhn
"Go? Go where?" I asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAnvqquutk5L
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.950Please respect copyright.PENANAMn3sREvQFk
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.950Please respect copyright.PENANADeC1AmSWBU
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."950Please respect copyright.PENANAtyLVeSpGd0
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.950Please respect copyright.PENANA6PpdrL0iAj
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."950Please respect copyright.PENANA8WIthdRQLU
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.950Please respect copyright.PENANAIi6lBoS6vI
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."950Please respect copyright.PENANAth5JarnNdU
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.950Please respect copyright.PENANAyL2V9EiPSt
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.950Please respect copyright.PENANA9TSuCVKeUe
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.950Please respect copyright.PENANA1pZK8WXvG6
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."950Please respect copyright.PENANAGfKxPs7mm7
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."950Please respect copyright.PENANAgmSkgxIFVm
"Ya, me too," said Mike.950Please respect copyright.PENANAcq8fROZ9mx
"Why don't you want 950Please respect copyright.PENANALVdvZAKeme
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 950Please respect copyright.PENANAxNE9LrgPpB
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 950Please respect copyright.PENANAP6nslAZ61U
not to follow."950Please respect copyright.PENANAt69vR4m0kw
I wanted to protest and 950Please respect copyright.PENANAwzeehiFMmw
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 950Please respect copyright.PENANAsMeZYWHOkg
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 950Please respect copyright.PENANA8IYHWIOyWw
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.950Please respect copyright.PENANAEWRAWd2Tjt
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.950Please respect copyright.PENANAH5ButdW4Oc
Dang it!950Please respect copyright.PENANAfJM3AMnWRA
"Okay, you'll find me back at the hotel. I'll tell Collins that you had to go out," said Sam to the others, giving them a smile.950Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ8zmF9xXa
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.950Please respect copyright.PENANAVfTM5Ld0Qs
"Thanks, that's nice of 950Please respect copyright.PENANASLabbwkUwV
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 950Please respect copyright.PENANAARoKB4axKT
the others. "Have fun you, guys."950Please respect copyright.PENANAzeJO7J4w3x
Sam and Daesung left the950Please respect copyright.PENANAJYV2GyyaEz
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 950Please respect copyright.PENANAvaUPlBT840
myself that the two also made a nice pair.950Please respect copyright.PENANAx5FLziXZzH
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAYbbbUKsbeU
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."950Please respect copyright.PENANAPHZkstPXHn
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.950Please respect copyright.PENANALxMl3C8uiR
Christine stood up from 950Please respect copyright.PENANAR1Km9vkVWl
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 950Please respect copyright.PENANAMUmoQJfjHY
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."950Please respect copyright.PENANA1CLyniMXv5
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAL8tuiU810S
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."950Please respect copyright.PENANAwMUp4V2tFg
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."950Please respect copyright.PENANAW5nt6pQ1eb
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.950Please respect copyright.PENANARtQRTwDsgx
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAkiNCGh9Hlk
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.950Please respect copyright.PENANANV19lVwoFJ
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAqq5bJZF7hH
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."950Please respect copyright.PENANAqNxnKlD0f9
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.950Please respect copyright.PENANAo1riCEbaEn
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.950Please respect copyright.PENANABON6u5XtaU
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.950Please respect copyright.PENANAdJIDyzi7Ga
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.950Please respect copyright.PENANAiDSsnouV72
"I know," said Christine.950Please respect copyright.PENANAaLaTS1UGh3
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAmiLp6GlQaO
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."950Please respect copyright.PENANAq7XMKaprJ2
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.950Please respect copyright.PENANAZd9hsXBl1S
"So that she can judge me? No way."950Please respect copyright.PENANAGxiEar6Ggi
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."950Please respect copyright.PENANAuUnlSNmoz5
"Don't try to convince 950Please respect copyright.PENANANK4MxTYz7p
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 950Please respect copyright.PENANAadwRCTHXgG
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me950Please respect copyright.PENANADGAo4tsciN
like she could hit me with a hammer.950Please respect copyright.PENANASALKgrmEHg
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.950Please respect copyright.PENANAItNPglMM46
I got up from the floor 950Please respect copyright.PENANAeJC1Xk8ZHL
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 950Please respect copyright.PENANAqlxAoFISEF
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 950Please respect copyright.PENANA92iYW0i0rK
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 950Please respect copyright.PENANAWmmFqUBagk
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.950Please respect copyright.PENANAaN2EPFi28N
The cars soon left the 950Please respect copyright.PENANAm1M7YmMCpo
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 950Please respect copyright.PENANAflstuz8RRs
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 950Please respect copyright.PENANAMAM6tzWuzA
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.950Please respect copyright.PENANArByix4ICMy
"Can you you please stop950Please respect copyright.PENANAkU65qeSmoQ
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 950Please respect copyright.PENANAJizvhUFXBV
the teddy and lose it in the car."950Please respect copyright.PENANAqISkilbwsS
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.950Please respect copyright.PENANAZWeluGDeg2
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."950Please respect copyright.PENANADd93JLL13W
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."950Please respect copyright.PENANAEN8uDeCpBr
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.950Please respect copyright.PENANAPTK8QuXGj4
"I just want to get this over with."950Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ7OQk7LRx
We were soon packed 950Please respect copyright.PENANAQLXojVgqob
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 950Please respect copyright.PENANAf3HuTzlFm8
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 950Please respect copyright.PENANA0WOvZYT2Wv
turned to look at her.950Please respect copyright.PENANADe1i933FqX
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."950Please respect copyright.PENANAaD9wXALOK0
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."950Please respect copyright.PENANAdglrVOIWmC
Seungri also turned to 950Please respect copyright.PENANAkPoLwHB9wK
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 950Please respect copyright.PENANACzmxkY41VM
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 950Please respect copyright.PENANASYvrivxdNc
chest and I wished Sam was here too.950Please respect copyright.PENANAZWYgz2H4Hw
I soon got out of the 950Please respect copyright.PENANAYACRfkNem6
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 950Please respect copyright.PENANAP4dMVbTkHl
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I950Please respect copyright.PENANAcikP3RpMv9
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.950Please respect copyright.PENANA0a7kTfoe7G
Before I could find my 950Please respect copyright.PENANA2jfFzJafdX
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 950Please respect copyright.PENANAm7qe6cciq2
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 950Please respect copyright.PENANAbazCTjBItF
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.950Please respect copyright.PENANAr3khN4cssb
I quickly went in the 950Please respect copyright.PENANA8sKRv1lVg3
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 950Please respect copyright.PENANAclN6ffbrvT
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 950Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y3kRQhnc1
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.950Please respect copyright.PENANAtMhdFAGenQ
I slowly approached the 950Please respect copyright.PENANAS8VvlFE3js
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 950Please respect copyright.PENANAkmPfRFTLR4
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 950Please respect copyright.PENANATst8Ena7ew
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 950Please respect copyright.PENANA5HDyZaij3Y
hesitate to end my life right here.950Please respect copyright.PENANAAgVBtznL88
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."950Please respect copyright.PENANAiMvwkOjeA5
"I was practising today," I answered.950Please respect copyright.PENANARPUnUYH7Wl
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."950Please respect copyright.PENANAT9clvcNUwz
"Thanks," I frowned at 950Please respect copyright.PENANAN16A0nxxD5
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 950Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ6Mv8T8er
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."950Please respect copyright.PENANARvzbRCTdHt
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."950Please respect copyright.PENANAeC3CyxjFDn
I quickly reached out 950Please respect copyright.PENANArUgHzL9wOu
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 950Please respect copyright.PENANAzGmWLbiVjC
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.950Please respect copyright.PENANA63todtb7t3
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAv9VWRGSK7e
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.950Please respect copyright.PENANAl91zBdLEU3
"What now?" I complained.950Please respect copyright.PENANAJH7KtgDiv1
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.950Please respect copyright.PENANAztUvorVkGe
"What do you think? That950Please respect copyright.PENANA0qyEadonWg
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 950Please respect copyright.PENANA7aiodaHqzs
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 950Please respect copyright.PENANAwE6nze30Gt
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 950Please respect copyright.PENANAV34mlQHylk
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."950Please respect copyright.PENANAgC7Cmq0q3j
Jehan raised an eyebrow 950Please respect copyright.PENANAUAeI7cO80d
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going950Please respect copyright.PENANAsdAeQ682ue
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a950Please respect copyright.PENANAjoWXpbOpVV
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."950Please respect copyright.PENANASrDjXW3Eot
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."950Please respect copyright.PENANATgZ0sGSd0M
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.950Please respect copyright.PENANAoTPNb1VcMq
I went back to looking 950Please respect copyright.PENANATMaWKpbB6W
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into950Please respect copyright.PENANAX5Zb2y6odi
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 950Please respect copyright.PENANAUXYmNOqrAw
surprise me that he carried that thing around.950Please respect copyright.PENANApCsDhaY7OB
Jehan slowly laid the 950Please respect copyright.PENANAgLS0pTFQaH
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 950Please respect copyright.PENANAnsV1eD8pGu
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 950Please respect copyright.PENANAPAPTlfVv1p
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 950Please respect copyright.PENANA56OuubdXCs
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 950Please respect copyright.PENANASP13M9HXvQ
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of950Please respect copyright.PENANAMcDguD8bcm
the teddy bear.950Please respect copyright.PENANAxocIPLhKPm
Wait. I frowned. This 950Please respect copyright.PENANAhh7trXjyDQ
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 950Please respect copyright.PENANABVfUzekstc
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 950Please respect copyright.PENANA5g0Qi54V5R
diamonds!950Please respect copyright.PENANApgTNi5bAXd
I stared horrified at 950Please respect copyright.PENANAuzb0KourpD
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 950Please respect copyright.PENANAu8uDITYQdC
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 950Please respect copyright.PENANAgXxQlco9p9
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.950Please respect copyright.PENANA5FiNBCTK7o
I looked up at Jehan and950Please respect copyright.PENANAAbjoPZXIBv
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 950Please respect copyright.PENANAqSr1QzDdWU
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 950Please respect copyright.PENANAUdOTyzmDL4
that, he was going to end up traumatised.950Please respect copyright.PENANAJMhFzaCKh4
"Je-Jehan," I said 950Please respect copyright.PENANAvQjscqUpLX
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAHKnXya1E0Y
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in950Please respect copyright.PENANAVejN9whQ8B
there."950Please respect copyright.PENANAZ45qRQYLFP
Jean neither moved nor 950Please respect copyright.PENANA5S4QNTl2fS
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 950Please respect copyright.PENANAkWBYOlGYLA
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.950Please respect copyright.PENANAb48Nv7dR9G
But how could this be? 950Please respect copyright.PENANAhvVktqDwOl
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 950Please respect copyright.PENANAOx5wCK9GB4
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 950Please respect copyright.PENANAvfBj7WabZJ
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.950Please respect copyright.PENANAhGUsr8UOVv
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.950Please respect copyright.PENANAvgnpwawIee
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.950Please respect copyright.PENANA61L6Wbu78O
He banged his fists on 950Please respect copyright.PENANAHvHkzYMUdD
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 950Please respect copyright.PENANASuEKZLullj
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at950Please respect copyright.PENANAzyc7VgviGS
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.950Please respect copyright.PENANAaTRfuLbdfg
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."950Please respect copyright.PENANAO2t8MXItxO
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.950Please respect copyright.PENANAEPRL9hBWTb
"I don't know. I don't 950Please respect copyright.PENANA5sM65ZEZ7B
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.950Please respect copyright.PENANAAyVYwqF9sP
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."950Please respect copyright.PENANAwGAHx9Rlkf
"How did the diamonds go missing?"950Please respect copyright.PENANABlQY2sCJ6w
"How am I supposed to 950Please respect copyright.PENANAlHt1ujV6Z5
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without950Please respect copyright.PENANAZLF0UoIVCS
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."950Please respect copyright.PENANAhEijGXTS4n
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."950Please respect copyright.PENANAA9MOoDAlbl
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."950Please respect copyright.PENANAxlAbRVA73e
Jehan rubbed his 950Please respect copyright.PENANAGz1KSkWT4r
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 950Please respect copyright.PENANAbBU0zQUat9
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.950Please respect copyright.PENANAoArvD2CuwU
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."950Please respect copyright.PENANAETunBjrzMi
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."950Please respect copyright.PENANAoYmVbQ9DpS
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAbV2zOMwCZg
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."950Please respect copyright.PENANAHLAGkBLfYo
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAnFxwo6Zdtw
"I don't know."950Please respect copyright.PENANAewmVBOtvRp
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAgPmu5Bizgz
"Ummm," I looked down 950Please respect copyright.PENANATYtCy1uQXi
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 950Please respect copyright.PENANA96Z7cqUEgA
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."950Please respect copyright.PENANAHzgrZdZzhO
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"950Please respect copyright.PENANABU6CcMFYy1
"I didn't have the teddy bear with me at the hotel the whole time," I said, looking at him fully in the eyes now.950Please respect copyright.PENANANknzUeBEtn
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.950Please respect copyright.PENANAtPzqwbuBFW
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."950Please respect copyright.PENANAC9PScdP1aH
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 950Please respect copyright.PENANARmgW3wtVH8
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 950Please respect copyright.PENANA2bGFBTnxAw
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAGx4zlbsAij
"I don't think so. Lee 950Please respect copyright.PENANAjGnIK63Ii5
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,950Please respect copyright.PENANAvmHcNqsdrT
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."950Please respect copyright.PENANAxAXL1kkpnQ
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAsO61M7LJkD
"You're right. But if she did find out about us and all this diamond business, she wouldn't keep that to herself. I know Lee."950Please respect copyright.PENANA0a3mDo2PXf
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAqib26DlzTa
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."950Please respect copyright.PENANAJqcSaZPA6r
After I said that, Jehan950Please respect copyright.PENANAD0JyScIaX7
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 950Please respect copyright.PENANA8jx99y8bwT
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the950Please respect copyright.PENANAmQmqVAMo7i
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 950Please respect copyright.PENANAiEzimZmPLQ
look on his face.950Please respect copyright.PENANABZl1dsQ0bj
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."950Please respect copyright.PENANAU34Cigt5eP
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAlXtVk08mwl
"I remember one of my 950Please respect copyright.PENANAnSgwHfgYeb
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAcDQJyRMXYC
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."950Please respect copyright.PENANALDgsrsj1m2
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"950Please respect copyright.PENANANQIs8a1xcF
"Don't snap your fingers and be all happy about this," said Jehan, back to giving me that angry look. "I need that teddy, now!"950Please respect copyright.PENANA0nC5lLElHg
"Huh? I can't start 950Please respect copyright.PENANAbBikX1ZCnz
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking950Please respect copyright.PENANA1GmlgGl3ux
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 950Please respect copyright.PENANAh6i8rYW8UH
that the bear is missing."950Please respect copyright.PENANA66oldwrf4r
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."950Please respect copyright.PENANAYJLQjJWET1
"What do you mean?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAmYxbwnS6Js
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."950Please respect copyright.PENANAlzmZhTVBKp
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."950Please respect copyright.PENANA3ByTluDQAX
"Now that, makes no 950Please respect copyright.PENANA3YsGGPmcL6
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that950Please respect copyright.PENANAv2HJz6OI1U
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."950Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y3KW6IzI3
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"950Please respect copyright.PENANAUWwmfPZp3H
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."950Please respect copyright.PENANAwGASRL95uE
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."950Please respect copyright.PENANAbhFmmXRD4o
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAMTVHyTeGal
I completely forgot that950Please respect copyright.PENANAIbR543JezG
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 950Please respect copyright.PENANAwzEwiHDtnz
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have950Please respect copyright.PENANAShO4NBsNRL
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.950Please respect copyright.PENANAjNpJgMPXC5
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."950Please respect copyright.PENANAmbNG1qun3A
Jehan gave me a smile. 950Please respect copyright.PENANA02qmmdB4ko
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 950Please respect copyright.PENANAhX1oTskf7a
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAI9k2c3Lw3A
I nodded my head and 950Please respect copyright.PENANA3HI5ElmOB1
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked950Please respect copyright.PENANAijOlpocESg
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.950Please respect copyright.PENANAGGkBCljHFJ
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.950Please respect copyright.PENANAum3OgCHFc0
I sat there as I buried 950Please respect copyright.PENANAY6i425Se3k
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 950Please respect copyright.PENANAuthK6RJkcX
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the950Please respect copyright.PENANAKI92zbpB0v
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 950Please respect copyright.PENANAZEV4Ah3AHs
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 950Please respect copyright.PENANA2TEUQ0VEct
drama that might just ruin my life?950Please respect copyright.PENANAhMjFKTQZOg
I hadn't noticed the bell of the café ringing because I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I looked up, there stood Christine.950Please respect copyright.PENANAeCNLY0PuBc
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.950Please respect copyright.PENANAD0QwdjQrtn
I could hear footsteps 950Please respect copyright.PENANAoVgne0FdqS
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 950Please respect copyright.PENANAP7Hvf6pQbO
when they saw the look on my face.950Please respect copyright.PENANAQlUQqDVSKb
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.950Please respect copyright.PENANACyKWMa2mgw
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"950Please respect copyright.PENANABMOhYrDT7u
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAnaMoPnLFYD
"No," I answered. "He didn't."950Please respect copyright.PENANAV1onuIttVV
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAyvGMVFbLgI
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."950Please respect copyright.PENANA540c1zlPe3
Mike shook his head. "But who? We didn't know what that teddy bear had until now, so, it couldn't be anyone of us."950Please respect copyright.PENANAoc0z7vq03N
"And what about Lee?" 950Please respect copyright.PENANAJXq4Wnr1sS
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 950Please respect copyright.PENANAB2DmODAxjY
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 950Please respect copyright.PENANAV49uHnh0rF
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 950Please respect copyright.PENANALLT6zcdcR2
to."950Please respect copyright.PENANA8WwNj4uw0d
"This is bad," I said, 950Please respect copyright.PENANANqoqL6ADMH
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 950Please respect copyright.PENANAyx75kUd4v4
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."950Please respect copyright.PENANAWEfqpKcueL
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."950Please respect copyright.PENANAuSYUpNAOPq
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.950Please respect copyright.PENANAujeM0J2nT9
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.950Please respect copyright.PENANA2In2FtR5m6
"Sam?" I wondered for a 950Please respect copyright.PENANAhuL4JaAXdj
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 950Please respect copyright.PENANAVGH6OrtSU8
she have swapped it with the other one?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAyKPMjPlSJX
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 950Please respect copyright.PENANApxk6N8vtTJ
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 950Please respect copyright.PENANAV8VT4iOXES
what's really going on in the first place?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAbWAtRKCsHB
"I doubt it," I said 950Please respect copyright.PENANAFRQ73TpoeB
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 950Please respect copyright.PENANACsiM0JJSKG
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would950Please respect copyright.PENANAU434NCTmFG
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."950Please respect copyright.PENANA28iRL8HPNd
TOP and Seungri looked 950Please respect copyright.PENANAjSAqbD2nvs
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 950Please respect copyright.PENANAXnReyKjfgl
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed950Please respect copyright.PENANAnQShbPyCcj
it away.950Please respect copyright.PENANANBr0cn1isR
"I highly doubt it too,"950Please respect copyright.PENANAfORUI6kUis
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 950Please respect copyright.PENANA2QXdm3ZHBh
she would have asked us about it."950Please respect copyright.PENANAN8w9Kmtzfn
"That's true," said 950Please respect copyright.PENANAGMSnmodiYz
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 950Please respect copyright.PENANAYyNAb7qiTO
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."950Please respect copyright.PENANAid9LPsIq5F
"And I checked out the 950Please respect copyright.PENANAyn1yznwXvC
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAypnfZbMG5n
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.950Please respect copyright.PENANAVtEhwkL01t
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.950Please respect copyright.PENANAmuNIH1vx95
"No, I highly doubt it,"950Please respect copyright.PENANA7guA5DTzdN
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 950Please respect copyright.PENANAyELyAFcKF6
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They950Please respect copyright.PENANAMkWlNK9Zqg
said nothing about them entering a toy store."950Please respect copyright.PENANA28LJf8s0UR
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.950Please respect copyright.PENANAHVJr0VOZhw
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAMOV35zECGv
"Collins?" Mike asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAGJyIzdHmqQ
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAX013hwlLav
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."950Please respect copyright.PENANA7qGFGzhmEd
"But who knows? Maybe he950Please respect copyright.PENANAEePVcDqPPn
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 950Please respect copyright.PENANAPZopKg81nG
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 950Please respect copyright.PENANATTKy8fgcha
times."950Please respect copyright.PENANAdmAmUKC49h
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.950Please respect copyright.PENANAKsW5FoUdMD
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."950Please respect copyright.PENANALkkBBn9PXJ
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAZB0WEJvnqC
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."950Please respect copyright.PENANAgTaGc7fUXT
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.950Please respect copyright.PENANAu8dSKuvKH1
"He was the one who went950Please respect copyright.PENANArgkKMZeBYg
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 950Please respect copyright.PENANALFvqnmCN6R
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 950Please respect copyright.PENANANllE4c1r66
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 950Please respect copyright.PENANAb1fEV0lPFx
elevator."950Please respect copyright.PENANA3c0JpUBa3x
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.950Please respect copyright.PENANAMLfgSDrgBq
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."950Please respect copyright.PENANACghyav1u7w
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.950Please respect copyright.PENANA2i6QihHcN9
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."950Please respect copyright.PENANAw2baYdX03e
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."950Please respect copyright.PENANA9iv6xO4MDz
"You're right," I said 950Please respect copyright.PENANAeaGApulnLj
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 950Please respect copyright.PENANAddt4f6yViA
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."950Please respect copyright.PENANAL0SySJUMgK
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.950Please respect copyright.PENANAp5pmhJfLRz
We all walked out of the950Please respect copyright.PENANAVpD4iXSWRO
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 950Please respect copyright.PENANAdluayPdZBj
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.950Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ3z7gpBRF
While I was in the car 950Please respect copyright.PENANAx5YxO834Gt
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so950Please respect copyright.PENANAGY6vUfB2uC
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins950Please respect copyright.PENANA44ph9amlEM
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 950Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zl8r5pmK6
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 950Please respect copyright.PENANAmn5D7de2Mu
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.950Please respect copyright.PENANA1WyLhO4qTu
If it isn't him, then 950Please respect copyright.PENANAsod08jGhaH
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 950Please respect copyright.PENANAw0Q8lfXBvr
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 950Please respect copyright.PENANA2WEiyRIETb
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her950Please respect copyright.PENANABLXeAWEYqY
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.950Please respect copyright.PENANAeFWer8pZTS
What if I had the wrong 950Please respect copyright.PENANAMqO4ttjTwS
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 950Please respect copyright.PENANAWax4EG4wPU
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 950Please respect copyright.PENANASH8ive6sR6
place without any of us noticing in the first place?950Please respect copyright.PENANAfPY0ykJ4J5
I hope I could be able 950Please respect copyright.PENANAdnoFdqBwwE
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 950Please respect copyright.PENANAMQsPCTvaBt
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that950Please respect copyright.PENANALJU4YhbhNr
happen.
