Zoey's P.O.V727Please respect copyright.PENANAySLDMvoqlm
Waking up this Monday 727Please respect copyright.PENANAiQnDhAM6bf
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 727Please respect copyright.PENANA7rF08ThEgR
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 727Please respect copyright.PENANAAu9AyudYY9
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 727Please respect copyright.PENANAXWVZYU7Bpa
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected727Please respect copyright.PENANAEp5cRpRYRR
myself to be.727Please respect copyright.PENANAYj5pjyXkC0
I couldn't stop 727Please respect copyright.PENANAuT3apXNQM4
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much727Please respect copyright.PENANA4SFPNy6OxL
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 727Please respect copyright.PENANAuyMw609qdW
feel that something was wrong.727Please respect copyright.PENANAIPuFm3a5s1
Could they have known 727Please respect copyright.PENANAh3VjY3TL1V
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 727Please respect copyright.PENANAH2izhWO47W
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 727Please respect copyright.PENANAqdVJjQ8S5I
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 727Please respect copyright.PENANAAHJXtEepLS
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 727Please respect copyright.PENANA4YSur5pDoV
just had our usual conversation.727Please respect copyright.PENANAlEkkUgaE1J
I brushed off all those 727Please respect copyright.PENANApDVCKYvtZL
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The727Please respect copyright.PENANAQSnnTYawZe
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 727Please respect copyright.PENANAWeX874mGz7
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when727Please respect copyright.PENANAPrxdgV9Oda
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.727Please respect copyright.PENANAkxJ2LkwLx2
But now that she wasn't 727Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5UzZBtg7D
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 727Please respect copyright.PENANAl9dCSnh1zw
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.727Please respect copyright.PENANA98eIPEyPRf
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have727Please respect copyright.PENANAi2PqPLAPss
woken up early before the alarm rang.727Please respect copyright.PENANAFRPlFhpTce
I sat up on my bed and 727Please respect copyright.PENANAgSxjYv4bcX
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 727Please respect copyright.PENANA0h7R5BNLKW
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 727Please respect copyright.PENANA1QhecvRNic
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 727Please respect copyright.PENANAPwMa6mHjHw
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.727Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xcc0C70Uc
After seeing her with 727Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZPtDfuGXn
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I727Please respect copyright.PENANAFA8r6UvHp8
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I727Please respect copyright.PENANAMpftp2fYOh
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 727Please respect copyright.PENANANrIYrliDRM
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 727Please respect copyright.PENANA859Wav7vTr
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole727Please respect copyright.PENANA5QTgxE24wU
day. That left me devastated.727Please respect copyright.PENANAnbO1RPrm6E
I couldn't stop looking 727Please respect copyright.PENANAJfjDF4vLqo
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 727Please respect copyright.PENANApV8gTHrHc6
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 727Please respect copyright.PENANApm9tHnSnkz
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 727Please respect copyright.PENANAluoGj5EpDo
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They727Please respect copyright.PENANAQIyp6KwsGG
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 727Please respect copyright.PENANAIthNfhSEQK
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.727Please respect copyright.PENANAR06zpjjxvR
That sent me boiling to a727Please respect copyright.PENANA3O7idenpbC
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me727Please respect copyright.PENANAfvou0iNErH
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 727Please respect copyright.PENANAUKheCTFHZB
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.727Please respect copyright.PENANAfUU9skv57P
Christine had told me to727Please respect copyright.PENANAVtJCGNpj5I
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 727Please respect copyright.PENANAka300xcfmq
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told727Please respect copyright.PENANAMlksZUWdLe
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 727Please respect copyright.PENANAuNHps4hg01
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest727Please respect copyright.PENANAvdX9eYQyVj
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 727Please respect copyright.PENANApBfNjhLbpo
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.727Please respect copyright.PENANAZws86OkXVG
And now, I had to face 727Please respect copyright.PENANA70MhSRcIFL
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 727Please respect copyright.PENANAY72fprAmoe
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music727Please respect copyright.PENANAgi8KNmdu0w
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 727Please respect copyright.PENANAd4NE7MukAy
was still so upset.727Please respect copyright.PENANATlMmQQgZQS
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.727Please respect copyright.PENANAu5BRcebAEl
After I was done, I 727Please respect copyright.PENANAgBnzzTZfcn
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 727Please respect copyright.PENANAeBlIwbQirw
others at the dining table for breakfast.727Please respect copyright.PENANAwvP3kMvCM1
I found them already 727Please respect copyright.PENANAXfVtr2QBTk
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 727Please respect copyright.PENANAXSHxnCDX6I
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.727Please respect copyright.PENANA2lxp3oIXTa
I felt a little awkward 727Please respect copyright.PENANAZz2r1lpPFb
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't727Please respect copyright.PENANAI8Io4zJtBC
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and727Please respect copyright.PENANAC9D2JIYC9m
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 727Please respect copyright.PENANApWQg0sBZWv
that also felt weird.727Please respect copyright.PENANAojCKLIKEHG
I know that she and I 727Please respect copyright.PENANAu7y11JiiI8
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 727Please respect copyright.PENANAqLd7GkYPKj
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 727Please respect copyright.PENANADSWe8rpE2u
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 727Please respect copyright.PENANAT7cEEq25yD
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 727Please respect copyright.PENANApZfsqjvEjJ
like something was wrong.727Please respect copyright.PENANABZ7iMtn3xb
I poured myself a cup of727Please respect copyright.PENANAcHQWBsXVo7
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 727Please respect copyright.PENANA9bLhIZZJnx
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.727Please respect copyright.PENANASW7oWvH08z
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAYlA7pluEEh
My heart almost skipped a727Please respect copyright.PENANAXszO0afRPd
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know727Please respect copyright.PENANA6RtJJGXawI
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way727Please respect copyright.PENANAoj6inRu4c2
too far. I was over here! Hello!727Please respect copyright.PENANA5WAXJVWAU4
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."727Please respect copyright.PENANA6FvpbnpQTE
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.727Please respect copyright.PENANAvg2sHW6UlI
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.727Please respect copyright.PENANAT2p4LNkFti
"I have no doubt about it."727Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0LjgG1Vjx
"But I don't see why you727Please respect copyright.PENANA92qK15ivd8
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 727Please respect copyright.PENANATIgdAZdz0X
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."727Please respect copyright.PENANAXdnUlCRkz3
"One thing about fans is727Please respect copyright.PENANAIXrrrFSzoc
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 727Please respect copyright.PENANAxlQ5b1WTn7
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.727Please respect copyright.PENANAOT4Eh1NQ68
"I know," said Lee. 727Please respect copyright.PENANAvivpPw1kOS
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 727Please respect copyright.PENANAFGJkEifHf8
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 727Please respect copyright.PENANAHJfnK06NIp
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."727Please respect copyright.PENANAo9MufJQpV9
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.727Please respect copyright.PENANAd802RL8HUw
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."727Please respect copyright.PENANAg2dlsH5zER
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.727Please respect copyright.PENANAKG4U1c1qvt
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."727Please respect copyright.PENANAUakKi86YL8
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.727Please respect copyright.PENANA4QqDvUZulr
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.727Please respect copyright.PENANAMU6wUqqLp6
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.727Please respect copyright.PENANA2OT9Bx94qs
"You're just too quiet, that's all."727Please respect copyright.PENANAFt0RnVlZVB
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."727Please respect copyright.PENANAUpWIUqLrKr
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."727Please respect copyright.PENANAmZHoU3eGIw
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.727Please respect copyright.PENANANo5MSczmVK
I stuck my tongue out at727Please respect copyright.PENANAwdY30fsbzt
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the727Please respect copyright.PENANAvgYyjE5CEC
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 727Please respect copyright.PENANABneFHeyiQ4
still wasn't looking in my direction.727Please respect copyright.PENANA02OD4GDhvU
Soon after breakfast, we727Please respect copyright.PENANA6CThjG6m5p
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were727Please respect copyright.PENANAg1YniIixH3
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 727Please respect copyright.PENANASVbm4ZMy9s
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 727Please respect copyright.PENANAesFt1WZzFW
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what727Please respect copyright.PENANAQBVueqygu8
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 727Please respect copyright.PENANAaXPx9UlXFs
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 727Please respect copyright.PENANAHCaFzPPf5v
she would.727Please respect copyright.PENANAyVsNpjjo6y
We arrived at YG and we 727Please respect copyright.PENANAnXQ9ajv7jo
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 727Please respect copyright.PENANAYyn5CfVNNN
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with727Please respect copyright.PENANA54dOrFV6Jc
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.727Please respect copyright.PENANAYxebgaCPfs
When everyone was 727Please respect copyright.PENANAmnblFVAPe9
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when727Please respect copyright.PENANAnMpXZMZOxq
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 727Please respect copyright.PENANAE0gkcyTQVk
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 727Please respect copyright.PENANAZi5SBbLE36
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.727Please respect copyright.PENANAUSI2SX1Z3V
He not responding to me 727Please respect copyright.PENANAuDfTmPoNS5
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He727Please respect copyright.PENANAR80017S7e8
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted727Please respect copyright.PENANAFIHQ2pxxyO
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 727Please respect copyright.PENANAW43nuiw7dW
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 727Please respect copyright.PENANA06J0pZhRjg
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just727Please respect copyright.PENANADRKfsr3e4o
looked away instead.727Please respect copyright.PENANAjAduG5aNGE
We went straight to 727Please respect copyright.PENANAg1Ag6UfCgF
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 727Please respect copyright.PENANAV5n0bt3uSE
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 727Please respect copyright.PENANAA8olle2qUS
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I727Please respect copyright.PENANA5tLoZkDizz
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 727Please respect copyright.PENANA3pXJbhXTnZ
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.727Please respect copyright.PENANAaaaETpZQPx
During pratice, I 727Please respect copyright.PENANA08P25LSLIB
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 727Please respect copyright.PENANArN6H6o2ddM
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I727Please respect copyright.PENANAmcmP6DCi4D
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.727Please respect copyright.PENANAhaGlTinT7o
G-Dragon wasn't the only727Please respect copyright.PENANAEMdkqNqok9
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 727Please respect copyright.PENANAvUePwiFu6J
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 727Please respect copyright.PENANAECsVB6An1S
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 727Please respect copyright.PENANAYKp3ECKkLL
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What727Please respect copyright.PENANA6XuV59xlGZ
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?727Please respect copyright.PENANAsx3ux0EH29
As her best friend, I 727Please respect copyright.PENANAtgMINzn0F2
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 727Please respect copyright.PENANASnjQuom5yQ
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 727Please respect copyright.PENANAfxNmeNM4tu
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 727Please respect copyright.PENANAba4zNBmDh8
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.727Please respect copyright.PENANA2IHna54LbB
She is also smart, 727Please respect copyright.PENANAo3Yvml8Qtn
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 727Please respect copyright.PENANA0m8QrufQrW
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 727Please respect copyright.PENANAQbZQ0vUa0N
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even727Please respect copyright.PENANAEnjdsC4rrM
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.727Please respect copyright.PENANASbtnXIb1Os
Sam has a lot of good 727Please respect copyright.PENANAruMbHk54HH
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her727Please respect copyright.PENANAo8LbW5CdAn
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 727Please respect copyright.PENANADAbYN2vAYn
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 727Please respect copyright.PENANAtcIe5Yy2BO
want to hurt anyone around her.727Please respect copyright.PENANAmfkv5riQTa
Realising this made me 727Please respect copyright.PENANAoAsvyKaMHQ
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 727Please respect copyright.PENANA6ArF6Y3W5P
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 727Please respect copyright.PENANAPJxEm5VyOo
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 727Please respect copyright.PENANA9rz3Fhx5QB
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 727Please respect copyright.PENANAqKa93fYeOJ
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 727Please respect copyright.PENANAjj2mIr4Mgz
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 727Please respect copyright.PENANAhKkmSKSIqd
realise it till now.727Please respect copyright.PENANAMf5wOWzODg
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.727Please respect copyright.PENANASRI2XK6MiY
"Zoey, you aren't 727Please respect copyright.PENANATmcx8rniTb
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 727Please respect copyright.PENANALPHHAzgKlF
second time you have made the same mistake."727Please respect copyright.PENANAnT2ravzpUT
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."727Please respect copyright.PENANAFHnkVsCPEr
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."727Please respect copyright.PENANAP5BTXSiH84
It was lunch the time we727Please respect copyright.PENANAQstFwnjsyF
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 727Please respect copyright.PENANAFI0MP81VsA
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 727Please respect copyright.PENANAxXn6uukK9b
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 727Please respect copyright.PENANAhYBKRHeXtr
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 727Please respect copyright.PENANAUfC0xv4Wwv
they were all laughing.727Please respect copyright.PENANAxKaiN2uLnI
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.727Please respect copyright.PENANAzsymPcmDmf
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."727Please respect copyright.PENANAojQQMt8KeE
"Still not talking to Sam?"727Please respect copyright.PENANATdh0SVNJ2R
"Nope."727Please respect copyright.PENANAN6mOx1Esu3
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."727Please respect copyright.PENANAXDQo8TU4uB
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.727Please respect copyright.PENANARys5XidGfT
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.727Please respect copyright.PENANAKgKmzZ0FHm
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.727Please respect copyright.PENANAe9xA8ocQZg
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."727Please respect copyright.PENANAZtKA3LQkE8
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."727Please respect copyright.PENANA2NJ0kYHUz7
"I know. But you aren't 727Please respect copyright.PENANATdZKqAGiQq
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 727Please respect copyright.PENANAwBGB7uk23P
You would be chit chatting like you always do."727Please respect copyright.PENANAF0vlkwZfZF
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAoVHpQmtpVX
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."727Please respect copyright.PENANANYH7qn9xSR
I frowned. "Why?"727Please respect copyright.PENANA7cqdguxQSL
"Because you look miserable."727Please respect copyright.PENANArLwWQCrz53
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.727Please respect copyright.PENANAIzL7tcxs8C
"Miserable!"727Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ2ZPLTOby
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."727Please respect copyright.PENANAoHJ59sN7vv
I thought for a moment 727Please respect copyright.PENANAoK4hPk1P8A
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 727Please respect copyright.PENANA4LThhMbT6F
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 727Please respect copyright.PENANAwvjEefUt4o
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 727Please respect copyright.PENANA9Hva64SxZX
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.727Please respect copyright.PENANABE188gM53F
Seeing all this in front727Please respect copyright.PENANAqf2hKzVYbh
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 727Please respect copyright.PENANALsXQhJShZh
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 727Please respect copyright.PENANARw1epaYSyr
Until TOP came to talk to me.727Please respect copyright.PENANAPbjnP5wgDL
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."727Please respect copyright.PENANAbUHbXcFAkM
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"727Please respect copyright.PENANATJdpYNURpK
"I don't know," I said 727Please respect copyright.PENANA2mkqXS02sd
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but727Please respect copyright.PENANAN2YslO7NVp
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."727Please respect copyright.PENANAthrYSRUkJ0
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.727Please respect copyright.PENANAIgfGu9sLoE
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.727Please respect copyright.PENANAh9QNNM6faN
"Then why don't you talk to her?"727Please respect copyright.PENANA1wyQlwePHe
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."727Please respect copyright.PENANATfevOWprjB
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."727Please respect copyright.PENANAUeZKU1Kjtn
"I know."727Please respect copyright.PENANAFXtmtdfTM0
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAOz0a6MPIRI
"I'll think about it."727Please respect copyright.PENANAOvzGnZEASv
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAGL8hbZn7Tj
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.727Please respect copyright.PENANA1enbej6Cil
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.727Please respect copyright.PENANAEDajjbWMk3
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.727Please respect copyright.PENANAbXwJOQXX65
The three of us went out727Please respect copyright.PENANA4PEL6lpKI7
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 727Please respect copyright.PENANAMosA1QZsV2
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.727Please respect copyright.PENANAsclb0j4PZt
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.727Please respect copyright.PENANAI7j2fv6fPJ
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.727Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ct56VgeJd
"Chill, you just ordered727Please respect copyright.PENANAjIMcO70dqN
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one727Please respect copyright.PENANAFuyuMPPpuO
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.727Please respect copyright.PENANAhiQaKhDy09
"But I'm so hungry."727Please respect copyright.PENANA2sCHyUBxTG
"Trust me, you aren't 727Please respect copyright.PENANA22W69PSj3a
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 727Please respect copyright.PENANAep9OGspC78
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 727Please respect copyright.PENANAnUF1B39A6k
have."727Please respect copyright.PENANAd2xZC4IScu
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAaesntYsAQI
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.727Please respect copyright.PENANAv5COhyOekB
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.727Please respect copyright.PENANAyu5PbyfRe6
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."727Please respect copyright.PENANAWsWUavtkEU
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.727Please respect copyright.PENANAsp1IXFrjKe
I didn't say anything as727Please respect copyright.PENANAnH5v91kgT5
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 727Please respect copyright.PENANAswkqzRF4TT
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 727Please respect copyright.PENANAzpQEM03hrD
calling.727Please respect copyright.PENANAhEFJ4YSYE9
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.727Please respect copyright.PENANAf753y2YhHR
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.727Please respect copyright.PENANAnZUx4XA1su
"Okay, well you better answer that call."727Please respect copyright.PENANAXopB7koOSJ
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.727Please respect copyright.PENANAj8bpaEUuoY
"Hello," I answered.727Please respect copyright.PENANAGU5XRp5IgR
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAKb9pVWYrm1
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"727Please respect copyright.PENANA4XTY4AxLcQ
"We have to meet today, ASAP."727Please respect copyright.PENANAtaoYI0OirJ
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."727Please respect copyright.PENANAbo28xydCwx
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."727Please respect copyright.PENANA9DtxREAsIG
I knew Jehan was going 727Please respect copyright.PENANALWyWl4ULYb
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 727Please respect copyright.PENANACL71Iigxux
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 727Please respect copyright.PENANADYq7N7veem
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 727Please respect copyright.PENANAMyrCUsfCFm
was upstairs in the dance studio.727Please respect copyright.PENANA3Nk7rQ6L0A
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ2W9cMXdU
"I'm coming to YG to get it."727Please respect copyright.PENANAuIWYtTCcvn
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."727Please respect copyright.PENANAnQFn3AjWes
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."727Please respect copyright.PENANAjAU8EW2zMl
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.727Please respect copyright.PENANAzSqLiHogKi
He cut the call and I 727Please respect copyright.PENANAoup0yfkTC9
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through727Please respect copyright.PENANAq26e7fGPzu
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here727Please respect copyright.PENANATrI6zcx7NE
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see727Please respect copyright.PENANAF8YFEBhRkG
him they would start to ask questions.727Please respect copyright.PENANA059aWWBr0O
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.727Please respect copyright.PENANA3ApYf9sEpz
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.727Please respect copyright.PENANAXE9jNB3KZV
"What?" I asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANAKA5rwvsupF
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANAttayZ2GGIh
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAPE5SaEwhYU
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."727Please respect copyright.PENANAgFcY5caWQE
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."727Please respect copyright.PENANALgqUUpxQuV
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."727Please respect copyright.PENANA1UECpCBh2Q
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."727Please respect copyright.PENANA4SnQhFqFpO
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAo2llIovUyN
Dang it! I was cornered 727Please respect copyright.PENANA6VtHVuGuu2
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 727Please respect copyright.PENANAMTAZkjzivz
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 727Please respect copyright.PENANAcDzfF5HnPt
light no matter how much you try to hide it.727Please respect copyright.PENANAj4qAvpBAW9
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."727Please respect copyright.PENANAf2ZpnTS8fY
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."727Please respect copyright.PENANAl6UPljqlch
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.727Please respect copyright.PENANAvHJBbn9i2L
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.727Please respect copyright.PENANAyG2PbBpkFc
I told them everything 727Please respect copyright.PENANA1FKiUYDzjm
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't727Please respect copyright.PENANAbm6l971gjt
said a word until I finished the whole story.727Please respect copyright.PENANArx7uFLfwzv
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANADlpO9dKj0a
"Just you two," I answered.727Please respect copyright.PENANAin9fKRuq42
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAEkqfeeHkOr
"Surprising, right?"727Please respect copyright.PENANADfo6BNwE8B
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.727Please respect copyright.PENANANZqGYefhCi
"We should involve the police," said TOP.727Please respect copyright.PENANAmkrDRlNUvF
"No! We can't!"727Please respect copyright.PENANAFtIqDIrCsS
"Why?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAQWjreZPKfR
"You know word goes out 727Please respect copyright.PENANAaVu37kAq94
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and727Please respect copyright.PENANArWrNcYDLHa
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."727Please respect copyright.PENANAyEZCNqiTji
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANA23utpzo5uB
"He assured me that this727Please respect copyright.PENANAPlMiXMAsXR
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 727Please respect copyright.PENANAWKOapAld3Q
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."727Please respect copyright.PENANACeLPom9ZhV
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.727Please respect copyright.PENANAoyCCjSNK68
The three of us turned 727Please respect copyright.PENANACjvZQVkLp4
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 727Please respect copyright.PENANAn71b0NorHJ
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?727Please respect copyright.PENANA8tSeiR1mZq
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.727Please respect copyright.PENANAeCsIIOUEvc
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.727Please respect copyright.PENANAjbyeHhRRO1
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.727Please respect copyright.PENANABUCkNCzf4n
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.727Please respect copyright.PENANANn3Lxrt0ud
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."727Please respect copyright.PENANAu5I2QyT6ue
"Random stuff involving a727Please respect copyright.PENANA9yWsWwmxep
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 727Please respect copyright.PENANA7LDsYHoBpB
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 727Please respect copyright.PENANANf0Vel3iPX
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 727Please respect copyright.PENANADH4fv77dqL
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."727Please respect copyright.PENANAjOSr8IZgK0
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?727Please respect copyright.PENANApcsuddRpqY
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."727Please respect copyright.PENANAFiaG7mw7ze
"Okay, I won't."727Please respect copyright.PENANADtQfbhF7aU
"Sit down."727Please respect copyright.PENANAtLaj3YA8WY
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.727Please respect copyright.PENANAwASsoDEPEG
"I got myself into trouble," I started.727Please respect copyright.PENANAV3jHO4L6xc
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAktwePKVjrm
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."727Please respect copyright.PENANA922FFZU4Fk
Christine's face soon 727Please respect copyright.PENANABRxi4dL7qq
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 727Please respect copyright.PENANANCiWdc49zA
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....727Please respect copyright.PENANAC41PYxshJX
"What!"727Please respect copyright.PENANA13x9PXAIcM
TOP quickly covered up 727Please respect copyright.PENANAKokpo4evYK
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 727Please respect copyright.PENANAxXPgQ8JEFe
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 727Please respect copyright.PENANAEDzCGZUgyZ
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.727Please respect copyright.PENANAhbJDFOrEai
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANAUeYUpZ8vFK
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAC7kIg201Qc
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.727Please respect copyright.PENANAKcinbypzBW
"Of course I'm mad!" 727Please respect copyright.PENANAIa9DUJB8iy
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 727Please respect copyright.PENANAQ73tELjWl6
but this by far is the worst one of them all."727Please respect copyright.PENANABxF5FqJ3Ob
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.727Please respect copyright.PENANADhix9chzSV
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAYisVfLAF01
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAKaKZlj4usT
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAjDhVtwK7Tx
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.727Please respect copyright.PENANA73NnmWkUY8
"WHAT!"727Please respect copyright.PENANABrXPefZuB6
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.727Please respect copyright.PENANAE5Ai6dhm2l
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAg5VB3UauZd
"And the one I met at the café," I said.727Please respect copyright.PENANAclzzoCN86L
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANAgKZjbZHtlr
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.727Please respect copyright.PENANAzCzOP9WJz7
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAjU27YwDpTl
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.727Please respect copyright.PENANAaieOMMlRV6
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.727Please respect copyright.PENANARpTKhh1tFI
"Ya," I said. "I planned727Please respect copyright.PENANAOXvE44KNCT
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 727Please respect copyright.PENANAN8rWusNC8y
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.727Please respect copyright.PENANAxRbCBnOpp5
"So you're the one who 727Please respect copyright.PENANA8Yu3ErOkWZ
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 727Please respect copyright.PENANAtx2ZDuAgTh
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 727Please respect copyright.PENANAV7j1pON2Xv
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 727Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3rCWPemA3
out with Seungri."727Please respect copyright.PENANAfkxOM0rauK
"I lied."727Please respect copyright.PENANADDnCa0ZfmU
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."727Please respect copyright.PENANALGX9us0an5
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.727Please respect copyright.PENANA9MkeveJWoc
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"727Please respect copyright.PENANACvckEHjTId
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."727Please respect copyright.PENANAF60mG1jNjT
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."727Please respect copyright.PENANAFXQy5SfH6g
"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."727Please respect copyright.PENANAqVLfrGFbH7
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANAmijLdQPYbs
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.727Please respect copyright.PENANABRk7557zti
"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."727Please respect copyright.PENANAL4ndUp9309
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."727Please respect copyright.PENANAd9t1NGfFMC
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.727Please respect copyright.PENANAqElTLPblel
"But where?" I asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANA377eG2GYpP
"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.727Please respect copyright.PENANAj9xiLMlcnG
"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.727Please respect copyright.PENANAnoJddX4gZ2
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.727Please respect copyright.PENANA7qAXJNCKmQ
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.727Please respect copyright.PENANA5nUv9iIsyE
I took my phone out and 727Please respect copyright.PENANAsCF3WtLrQp
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in727Please respect copyright.PENANAYMvEHIqyEe
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.727Please respect copyright.PENANAigkpGG4jn2
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.727Please respect copyright.PENANAsBXFZHuW01
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.727Please respect copyright.PENANAj7CacFM3m4
Seungri had ordered ten 727Please respect copyright.PENANARDSoeXvkgx
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 727Please respect copyright.PENANAuY72OMLBJN
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 727Please respect copyright.PENANANaVTArx3ie
favourite.727Please respect copyright.PENANAUebbvOXhpk
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.727Please respect copyright.PENANAf73VrOvnQZ
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.727Please respect copyright.PENANAvqpQmmNOwS
"I'll be ready for 727Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6nvsXyIJ6
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything727Please respect copyright.PENANAVl4u6STBkU
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."727Please respect copyright.PENANAzSCxmqF6dx
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."727Please respect copyright.PENANA0i9rK3WK0t
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.727Please respect copyright.PENANA6wA3PWpQja
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."727Please respect copyright.PENANAJnGXKQRiUw
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.727Please respect copyright.PENANAV2aXPvK01Y
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."727Please respect copyright.PENANApqexPz5QRA
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."727Please respect copyright.PENANApw2WqeQKjq
We found ourselves back 727Please respect copyright.PENANA2cuYYUCkHF
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 727Please respect copyright.PENANAFPu8WyZIyu
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 727Please respect copyright.PENANAzw354WvGEi
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 727Please respect copyright.PENANADrHXIsqfo3
paranoid?727Please respect copyright.PENANAyNjAOKzvB8
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.727Please respect copyright.PENANAwyXPWUfQPI
"What?" I asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANADPhji5proq
"You were frowning," Christine answered.727Please respect copyright.PENANANqGDsSrTIG
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."727Please respect copyright.PENANAsDYC0Kn9WV
"Says the person who 727Please respect copyright.PENANAS0vjZhr4Ya
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 727Please respect copyright.PENANADt6QkYsJkH
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 727Please respect copyright.PENANAegE8Q4edP8
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.727Please respect copyright.PENANAzToH5XVPkn
Soon after lunch, we 727Please respect copyright.PENANAteFkt2qRWT
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 727Please respect copyright.PENANAgfOgJYyWB1
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time727Please respect copyright.PENANAkB432BtT7H
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 727Please respect copyright.PENANAOPTUJinAfV
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know727Please respect copyright.PENANAk3VAs3wOpE
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the727Please respect copyright.PENANAeWAxOqc8lc
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.727Please respect copyright.PENANAeTdTBtYINp
At some point in the 727Please respect copyright.PENANA9pAzVxlVpr
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 727Please respect copyright.PENANAelSoNEKg2w
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 727Please respect copyright.PENANAozRGpLPtyj
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 727Please respect copyright.PENANA9UdmYACNes
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 727Please respect copyright.PENANAiL0frwRLdw
back to practising until we could pratice no more.727Please respect copyright.PENANABLj7ys3Bqz
It was five and the sun 727Please respect copyright.PENANADNDWrF1mex
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I727Please respect copyright.PENANAwuBTvTyH83
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 727Please respect copyright.PENANAgUrt4P2Aro
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 727Please respect copyright.PENANApvTUQAuXGx
side of me. We were all pretty tired.727Please respect copyright.PENANAIHs03suFM6
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.727Please respect copyright.PENANAmkugj1oFBk
While I was resting and 727Please respect copyright.PENANAhJq3ePhpqd
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 727Please respect copyright.PENANAdMuAIP6Sjv
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 727Please respect copyright.PENANALQqdm4zZtU
look on my face.727Please respect copyright.PENANAPv98Muadih
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.727Please respect copyright.PENANAvu6ozhIGLw
"Go? Go where?" I asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANARjl0uVVMq7
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.727Please respect copyright.PENANAemFRgggE3W
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.727Please respect copyright.PENANAHn9dbbPz39
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."727Please respect copyright.PENANA8je0k2YSMX
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.727Please respect copyright.PENANAU6OTY3cAq5
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."727Please respect copyright.PENANArmcPfimvbl
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.727Please respect copyright.PENANAWyySR3QigO
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."727Please respect copyright.PENANAyEEZ12f3bP
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.727Please respect copyright.PENANAY7ESDc4Yuu
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.727Please respect copyright.PENANAGWD9U73s3m
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.727Please respect copyright.PENANABc6C31utiI
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."727Please respect copyright.PENANAOOY4rMRlUp
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."727Please respect copyright.PENANA2bvruUlFYH
"Ya, me too," said Mike.727Please respect copyright.PENANAcXqU1OXmhI
"Why don't you want 727Please respect copyright.PENANAiMfGygCvcr
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 727Please respect copyright.PENANAoVIbIGU5Ik
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 727Please respect copyright.PENANAoWFEZ1SFlI
not to follow."727Please respect copyright.PENANAqpFeJOEVcE
I wanted to protest and 727Please respect copyright.PENANAD36LehO40k
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 727Please respect copyright.PENANAfngQioKlqU
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 727Please respect copyright.PENANABrkb509G0m
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.727Please respect copyright.PENANAKSEP5bE98Q
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.727Please respect copyright.PENANAr1KdZ9Mxbg
Dang it!727Please respect copyright.PENANABLuMKHNqpL
"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.727Please respect copyright.PENANAvPQNp72rBE
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.727Please respect copyright.PENANAYXGfn2NplD
"Thanks, that's nice of 727Please respect copyright.PENANARcsJi7nGQ5
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 727Please respect copyright.PENANAQsEVQVDcZV
the others. "Have fun you, guys."727Please respect copyright.PENANA02cXnYHXN4
Sam and Daesung left the727Please respect copyright.PENANAW9v9ndBRjv
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 727Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fjx2DLTw3
myself that the two also made a nice pair.727Please respect copyright.PENANAJx6u7VDOYJ
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANAlX65fVIkvI
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."727Please respect copyright.PENANACY5sIa8s5f
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.727Please respect copyright.PENANA4R1X96OMRL
Christine stood up from 727Please respect copyright.PENANAXe0ugCyzWI
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 727Please respect copyright.PENANAa0FxxXGzNS
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."727Please respect copyright.PENANANE8Kd5vBUw
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANAfEHBGKpZnf
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."727Please respect copyright.PENANAWl9Atl21oZ
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."727Please respect copyright.PENANAVtm8D4ul7o
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.727Please respect copyright.PENANAQVpbtvOqzA
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"727Please respect copyright.PENANA9B8V9h0Rfc
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.727Please respect copyright.PENANA1rhBEAkbIw
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANAjgXMCOZX4D
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."727Please respect copyright.PENANABrJYUzHEKJ
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.727Please respect copyright.PENANACNvconL1n6
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.727Please respect copyright.PENANA07ErATZaU3
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.727Please respect copyright.PENANAyadAiHhVRf
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.727Please respect copyright.PENANAzdMkZk8e6t
"I know," said Christine.727Please respect copyright.PENANAmVvX6gq3LX
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANAeKNmcJa9G6
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."727Please respect copyright.PENANAyo8Q2Ht0kL
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.727Please respect copyright.PENANA1didfdCy1P
"So that she can judge me? No way."727Please respect copyright.PENANA2CKigiCCt4
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."727Please respect copyright.PENANAInPRL3hWYO
"Don't try to convince 727Please respect copyright.PENANAvlsnNK8LAi
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 727Please respect copyright.PENANAyo2rCDccT2
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me727Please respect copyright.PENANAxVjXbYNCtZ
like she could hit me with a hammer.727Please respect copyright.PENANAEkGezUjkQ6
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.727Please respect copyright.PENANASyljg3qNIR
I got up from the floor 727Please respect copyright.PENANAaXmhunOPh2
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 727Please respect copyright.PENANAWsfF7SY4Y0
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 727Please respect copyright.PENANA1bfpZ0mS27
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 727Please respect copyright.PENANAgOqyQwRo6y
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.727Please respect copyright.PENANABJUazyesW7
The cars soon left the 727Please respect copyright.PENANAtdUCS7caHM
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 727Please respect copyright.PENANAYLxfFwFNqw
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 727Please respect copyright.PENANAwYmVvFCVSE
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.727Please respect copyright.PENANA3SofS12ikk
"Can you you please stop727Please respect copyright.PENANACwFLpRkcbN
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 727Please respect copyright.PENANA4O1W5Wogd9
the teddy and lose it in the car."727Please respect copyright.PENANAHfBFM9nPN6
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.727Please respect copyright.PENANAiYMa9Tr19W
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."727Please respect copyright.PENANASHgmt1CKEN
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."727Please respect copyright.PENANAV8rWiwVwvN
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.727Please respect copyright.PENANA2SykE2GY7H
"I just want to get this over with."727Please respect copyright.PENANABKaXc1G9m7
We were soon packed 727Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6zMb3YfsU
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 727Please respect copyright.PENANAk2Q5u0VWm2
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 727Please respect copyright.PENANA30f1GMI2jI
turned to look at her.727Please respect copyright.PENANAaIP7WXnDfD
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."727Please respect copyright.PENANAzo4XsJdxY9
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."727Please respect copyright.PENANA2F0nLzdYrp
Seungri also turned to 727Please respect copyright.PENANA3AuqjuhLMH
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 727Please respect copyright.PENANARuP2lJ95Ji
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 727Please respect copyright.PENANAE0RJW5Gx6T
chest and I wished Sam was here too.727Please respect copyright.PENANAyjH7anxKVf
I soon got out of the 727Please respect copyright.PENANAvcuhBYNPBq
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 727Please respect copyright.PENANAeBOq6rfJcz
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I727Please respect copyright.PENANAgEekyHHIcD
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.727Please respect copyright.PENANA0B6EomSPyO
Before I could find my 727Please respect copyright.PENANASby4s8Oi2p
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 727Please respect copyright.PENANAMPp6Xp2sTZ
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 727Please respect copyright.PENANAXo8JuzRHpS
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.727Please respect copyright.PENANAUIjLmxPvbP
I quickly went in the 727Please respect copyright.PENANAKYCLUAgRK7
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 727Please respect copyright.PENANALD8IaLIa2M
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 727Please respect copyright.PENANALWKEllWlsH
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.727Please respect copyright.PENANA1rz9offUBA
I slowly approached the 727Please respect copyright.PENANAF56OUpQiNm
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 727Please respect copyright.PENANA3oYtUBvET7
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 727Please respect copyright.PENANA1eoTV3TCZp
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 727Please respect copyright.PENANAWvjq7vgBVJ
hesitate to end my life right here.727Please respect copyright.PENANAyZJQ8RYeC6
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."727Please respect copyright.PENANAPpt1TLeJ6x
"I was practising today," I answered.727Please respect copyright.PENANAfzYMCjrDZq
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."727Please respect copyright.PENANAZwLweK6ZFC
"Thanks," I frowned at 727Please respect copyright.PENANAIb0IHYH9Tx
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 727Please respect copyright.PENANAohCD6bfG9S
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."727Please respect copyright.PENANAicZ4ser4G7
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."727Please respect copyright.PENANAZEZSh5Ppqj
I quickly reached out 727Please respect copyright.PENANABUMEELYj4z
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 727Please respect copyright.PENANA1ddlLmv0UR
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.727Please respect copyright.PENANAqJrY89E3Nx
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAUJNe8pgSSX
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.727Please respect copyright.PENANAp00CAGfe7w
"What now?" I complained.727Please respect copyright.PENANALlRWbL7RpX
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.727Please respect copyright.PENANAPT23MlyKI4
"What do you think? That727Please respect copyright.PENANAwMYnKXc95T
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 727Please respect copyright.PENANAgs89fxdsds
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 727Please respect copyright.PENANA66bNvRNfKK
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 727Please respect copyright.PENANAVZKMlXJmbC
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."727Please respect copyright.PENANAB5clViE98X
Jehan raised an eyebrow 727Please respect copyright.PENANA5DzT4rR7KI
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going727Please respect copyright.PENANAMaPk2BmLev
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a727Please respect copyright.PENANAbGRhmyad9a
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."727Please respect copyright.PENANABCYNnl6o5C
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."727Please respect copyright.PENANAtOXSWqWp1X
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.727Please respect copyright.PENANAo00dXZpO2K
I went back to looking 727Please respect copyright.PENANA0ONp6MXg9T
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into727Please respect copyright.PENANA7XpO3eJlsp
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 727Please respect copyright.PENANAGBOV8fOZiM
surprise me that he carried that thing around.727Please respect copyright.PENANAEIE2t8M6Q7
Jehan slowly laid the 727Please respect copyright.PENANAyH7t9MXlZT
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 727Please respect copyright.PENANAyFIIgKxTTS
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 727Please respect copyright.PENANAJIvK1oHwIX
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 727Please respect copyright.PENANAyns5bPno4v
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 727Please respect copyright.PENANAJGldjvDImR
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of727Please respect copyright.PENANAJxZJwR5H0N
the teddy bear.727Please respect copyright.PENANAwotdvduaCG
Wait. I frowned. This 727Please respect copyright.PENANALsJ7Fwmh9Z
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 727Please respect copyright.PENANAEjCMQw0A1I
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 727Please respect copyright.PENANAq7Xr1oEnKJ
diamonds!727Please respect copyright.PENANA4UGdi1Ysn5
I stared horrified at 727Please respect copyright.PENANAeqpz9pCuAJ
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 727Please respect copyright.PENANAWIMzKCL9RS
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 727Please respect copyright.PENANAU2mpGcyX9o
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.727Please respect copyright.PENANAPFfDBLTVNX
I looked up at Jehan and727Please respect copyright.PENANAzI9i3v0xd9
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 727Please respect copyright.PENANANSlvs6umIX
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 727Please respect copyright.PENANAezhzCRC8vK
that, he was going to end up traumatised.727Please respect copyright.PENANAgsLYAa4Kdk
"Je-Jehan," I said 727Please respect copyright.PENANASyoi8SqYX0
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 727Please respect copyright.PENANAjS2uHAFnDL
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in727Please respect copyright.PENANAqHf0f6eDAi
there."727Please respect copyright.PENANAqD3T3pQNuX
Jean neither moved nor 727Please respect copyright.PENANAdgAyvnEtoK
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 727Please respect copyright.PENANAuhIUIHps3n
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.727Please respect copyright.PENANAkywgJjXrvp
But how could this be? 727Please respect copyright.PENANANpXqzOLg5K
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 727Please respect copyright.PENANAwtHGQhQENr
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 727Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qlf1TEU8I
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.727Please respect copyright.PENANAwUwE0tHc3v
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.727Please respect copyright.PENANAdZhasFWsuf
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.727Please respect copyright.PENANAnNGsa44giB
He banged his fists on 727Please respect copyright.PENANAOawAnVM22L
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 727Please respect copyright.PENANA7HcorjYWVK
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at727Please respect copyright.PENANAtzQ42PLbVn
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.727Please respect copyright.PENANAinA2xJHeGE
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."727Please respect copyright.PENANAT1aIfpcCN2
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.727Please respect copyright.PENANAsZHErfcjv5
"I don't know. I don't 727Please respect copyright.PENANA0O7mUcUzjK
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.727Please respect copyright.PENANAXBHeobqqQH
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."727Please respect copyright.PENANAJx3U5Ebd4u
"How did the diamonds go missing?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAIGK9aCO4Ob
"How am I supposed to 727Please respect copyright.PENANAnEFZsVtLhD
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without727Please respect copyright.PENANAqHLiS94UMz
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."727Please respect copyright.PENANAhSBdfVJgPz
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."727Please respect copyright.PENANAO0iPyid2PX
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."727Please respect copyright.PENANAhM0vX4gfRY
Jehan rubbed his 727Please respect copyright.PENANArhFrA0PbHU
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 727Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6d6ZoULCv
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.727Please respect copyright.PENANApfSVtQnzXf
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."727Please respect copyright.PENANALF03vTfttE
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."727Please respect copyright.PENANA7Yh1F7rPlx
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAXwkuZGDhal
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."727Please respect copyright.PENANAjGE2HDOFFi
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"727Please respect copyright.PENANA1kcNYHbst3
"I don't know."727Please respect copyright.PENANAvTJ48szCTg
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAoYAbPKua9D
"Ummm," I looked down 727Please respect copyright.PENANAoeqtSywUsO
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 727Please respect copyright.PENANAPmFGQLF2pg
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."727Please respect copyright.PENANAxxV1svbwtx
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"727Please respect copyright.PENANANZRUp4Rh8J
"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.727Please respect copyright.PENANAbUj4JXMkoz
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.727Please respect copyright.PENANA4pUazwixj5
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."727Please respect copyright.PENANAKwPe04U0PT
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 727Please respect copyright.PENANAutQHwT00W8
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 727Please respect copyright.PENANABSoR6vkbRv
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAkzLgHV2JvC
"I don't think so. Lee 727Please respect copyright.PENANAg2jSFBWyge
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,727Please respect copyright.PENANAjQvH4bjuid
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."727Please respect copyright.PENANAfA8s1VwTFP
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"727Please respect copyright.PENANA48ty2FdvJi
"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."727Please respect copyright.PENANAfBO7ysnqs1
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAJIV8JNkrLM
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."727Please respect copyright.PENANAeR5fxQUypY
After I said that, Jehan727Please respect copyright.PENANAgeWcdBEsR2
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 727Please respect copyright.PENANAWEiXWVpvfe
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the727Please respect copyright.PENANAxV9BhQypnj
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 727Please respect copyright.PENANAWeHncHIIU1
look on his face.727Please respect copyright.PENANAYlu7J4nViN
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."727Please respect copyright.PENANAf2BLxiCOLd
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANAsHSVJ0XXpv
"I remember one of my 727Please respect copyright.PENANAZOs82umqgl
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 727Please respect copyright.PENANAHcWqpy5CgH
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."727Please respect copyright.PENANAgNSEf5vwzP
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"727Please respect copyright.PENANAYXKfh5S4TS
"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!"727Please respect copyright.PENANAHEytGj5GiR
"Huh? I can't start 727Please respect copyright.PENANARb9mjRkxZE
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking727Please respect copyright.PENANAgt0QmX4Qx3
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 727Please respect copyright.PENANATvc3N4A9WN
that the bear is missing."727Please respect copyright.PENANAy249CQJ0kO
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."727Please respect copyright.PENANA2FFO3A66TT
"What do you mean?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAzv68eZiq45
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."727Please respect copyright.PENANA92Ibt8wXnE
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."727Please respect copyright.PENANAo55k6oO3gz
"Now that, makes no 727Please respect copyright.PENANACfA6Q7jSbE
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that727Please respect copyright.PENANAEFknLxay8J
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."727Please respect copyright.PENANAWhSQKDsBDY
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"727Please respect copyright.PENANA6XvSHrX2km
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."727Please respect copyright.PENANAQk3aa35qNA
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."727Please respect copyright.PENANAAIh2oGnHNG
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAgGTdxc7UA6
I completely forgot that727Please respect copyright.PENANAaNyZrqlMgy
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 727Please respect copyright.PENANAdD9oV6o21Y
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have727Please respect copyright.PENANAIfAQslGxXK
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.727Please respect copyright.PENANAb99104pTPz
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."727Please respect copyright.PENANAbhrBrLTSwE
Jehan gave me a smile. 727Please respect copyright.PENANAFnc9ceT3uB
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 727Please respect copyright.PENANAawWUzuw9tv
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAw5c4e4SdxM
I nodded my head and 727Please respect copyright.PENANAyLdN2w4WdM
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked727Please respect copyright.PENANAlw9kk9bNm8
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.727Please respect copyright.PENANAqSTWFOYRKV
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.727Please respect copyright.PENANAUV8WuuI2jO
I sat there as I buried 727Please respect copyright.PENANAmIvupZS8If
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 727Please respect copyright.PENANAj4qdPU2A9t
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the727Please respect copyright.PENANA1jf6AFn3IT
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 727Please respect copyright.PENANATO2NiLK7er
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 727Please respect copyright.PENANASPtpctI022
drama that might just ruin my life?727Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ0Pz7gxyU
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.727Please respect copyright.PENANAweak6UVRW7
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.727Please respect copyright.PENANA7U8WgKsGs4
I could hear footsteps 727Please respect copyright.PENANAlJrYPlAXog
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 727Please respect copyright.PENANAWnMBXfRTts
when they saw the look on my face.727Please respect copyright.PENANACtZ6okDVCy
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.727Please respect copyright.PENANA87ORw6Ymzd
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAVNxNl2zLAr
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAl0GQt71pgw
"No," I answered. "He didn't."727Please respect copyright.PENANAR3qSQSzPby
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAvaBSN7zuwm
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."727Please respect copyright.PENANAYY82Z4OmIB
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."727Please respect copyright.PENANAIssDMCH6WR
"And what about Lee?" 727Please respect copyright.PENANAqT1Npq3pPf
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 727Please respect copyright.PENANAuXbu4gtJk3
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 727Please respect copyright.PENANATdi5zOo3zt
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 727Please respect copyright.PENANAFHjoB8ctqd
to."727Please respect copyright.PENANAVtkHZAhO2I
"This is bad," I said, 727Please respect copyright.PENANA1UMTpFhvN8
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 727Please respect copyright.PENANA0yqx7N1FqO
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."727Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ap6LHvhts
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."727Please respect copyright.PENANAaoe40gsb5V
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.727Please respect copyright.PENANACfT562TrO5
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.727Please respect copyright.PENANAfN4kZkEYxv
"Sam?" I wondered for a 727Please respect copyright.PENANAP848FURayX
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 727Please respect copyright.PENANAxnnlEyY9V1
she have swapped it with the other one?"727Please respect copyright.PENANApiMQ4rSyqg
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 727Please respect copyright.PENANAGHo6njz94C
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 727Please respect copyright.PENANA5Wn76oUyeG
what's really going on in the first place?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAiQuBJfcKDL
"I doubt it," I said 727Please respect copyright.PENANAQP4AXMcKix
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 727Please respect copyright.PENANA5sHp42tQ9C
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would727Please respect copyright.PENANAU1h5RsZN4j
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."727Please respect copyright.PENANAxXbGMAM0Dx
TOP and Seungri looked 727Please respect copyright.PENANAXIFTf0BjM9
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 727Please respect copyright.PENANAjsQi5vR3w3
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed727Please respect copyright.PENANAV3zehVxqeT
it away.727Please respect copyright.PENANAboPE8xTKLa
"I highly doubt it too,"727Please respect copyright.PENANAz7ryEwIWKJ
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 727Please respect copyright.PENANAVrNpXS4oeX
she would have asked us about it."727Please respect copyright.PENANACqgpbyRedL
"That's true," said 727Please respect copyright.PENANAoybt6f1hXq
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 727Please respect copyright.PENANAn62TfZPELY
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."727Please respect copyright.PENANAnnvxJ6XwNp
"And I checked out the 727Please respect copyright.PENANA60RLYUHU8r
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 727Please respect copyright.PENANAbFLeRjMdnc
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.727Please respect copyright.PENANA0Sy1F5Tpbk
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.727Please respect copyright.PENANAhjI1ZkyGo4
"No, I highly doubt it,"727Please respect copyright.PENANAneDnYHR4TZ
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 727Please respect copyright.PENANAk2Ja61UtIX
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They727Please respect copyright.PENANAQwKNBr3nNY
said nothing about them entering a toy store."727Please respect copyright.PENANA9upR7IIy9g
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.727Please respect copyright.PENANAG7Hry1SBKF
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"727Please respect copyright.PENANA1uSx9EZ7AG
"Collins?" Mike asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANAid9SAcsYzV
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAMz3ymeSGIG
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."727Please respect copyright.PENANAAVukn6TJmG
"But who knows? Maybe he727Please respect copyright.PENANAgyov6zhMNr
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 727Please respect copyright.PENANAH2F3aJuokF
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 727Please respect copyright.PENANA7Glvo6dLP9
times."727Please respect copyright.PENANAxQh2TpYhDb
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.727Please respect copyright.PENANAsbi8aL7CeJ
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."727Please respect copyright.PENANAeUN3zio8aa
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"727Please respect copyright.PENANAMv5C4ArHUa
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."727Please respect copyright.PENANAWtmp8oueP4
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.727Please respect copyright.PENANAuMu1udj2cR
"He was the one who went727Please respect copyright.PENANArcVqfShT5p
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 727Please respect copyright.PENANAfcvMefnzFa
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 727Please respect copyright.PENANAhMRFMWrGeu
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 727Please respect copyright.PENANAas8iRQPGEk
elevator."727Please respect copyright.PENANAx6KvNEb3jb
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.727Please respect copyright.PENANAS91P6oIUZM
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."727Please respect copyright.PENANA5uaSoKSlgP
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.727Please respect copyright.PENANA2KP9GG2Ggc
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."727Please respect copyright.PENANAqk0UHJWiGn
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."727Please respect copyright.PENANARM2DvadzX0
"You're right," I said 727Please respect copyright.PENANAtmstMVXnFK
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 727Please respect copyright.PENANAapRSzDcScc
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."727Please respect copyright.PENANA2TLa7LV866
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.727Please respect copyright.PENANAWvDcn8qNyi
We all walked out of the727Please respect copyright.PENANAvj60uuZVxN
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 727Please respect copyright.PENANALUjNCmCMBh
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.727Please respect copyright.PENANAImF2E2sWTP
While I was in the car 727Please respect copyright.PENANAAWIp6jCiVe
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so727Please respect copyright.PENANANl3CUlwb4p
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins727Please respect copyright.PENANAgiwd3snHFa
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 727Please respect copyright.PENANABkNwBeyixw
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 727Please respect copyright.PENANAoOu5NNtG3d
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.727Please respect copyright.PENANATiKVMSrj21
If it isn't him, then 727Please respect copyright.PENANAmIAQoCKH4z
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 727Please respect copyright.PENANACdDPVykcgm
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 727Please respect copyright.PENANAhy90L4RfLv
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her727Please respect copyright.PENANAFk2chRCMe8
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.727Please respect copyright.PENANAzr81HU1H3W
What if I had the wrong 727Please respect copyright.PENANA0SwaShzDGZ
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 727Please respect copyright.PENANAVKCkzI72M6
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 727Please respect copyright.PENANA8XbPVRHKiK
place without any of us noticing in the first place?727Please respect copyright.PENANALxhH0ErzzX
I hope I could be able 727Please respect copyright.PENANA65N8M3JtWn
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 727Please respect copyright.PENANAgKEn7nylv2
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that727Please respect copyright.PENANAQVsUFccJo3
happen.
