Zoey's P.O.V1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNGdlwFoio
Waking up this Monday 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTW51GglML
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDpvhAvF4T
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ69a4w5XT
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J1Qsx9cS3
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVqgI3w5Nt
myself to be.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42OCXw4jg0
I couldn't stop 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt656SABTh
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMJSxkrcnX
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ3CPgM8dB
feel that something was wrong.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAdAkvSlwp
Could they have known 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2CXVj48P3
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwSpRt08J9
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xum2RottS
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUqXkCXiuw
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzTpM9KWvQ
just had our usual conversation.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4tTYTzB1M
I brushed off all those 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJtm5M4WoU
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIK7SKnhi5
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzicROHPOd
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12CQBmUkLf
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aAt6C6qoD
But now that she wasn't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFUwwzOnOa
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOFsuDHMNi
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJjCyoFecx
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdMOjHD53M
woken up early before the alarm rang.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM7J22Zxx9
I sat up on my bed and 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5gavp52G1
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgZouNZTKL
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGxCvMmird
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxZByCx9cr
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdn6KeuP2p
After seeing her with 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbAlLoiS2R
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WbcpMgKmh
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF6OwawbgZ
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6KvO8IsN1
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8v6ib59ZI
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3cmDEZRVj
day. That left me devastated.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN8evkSgYR
I couldn't stop looking 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK0T5ww5X1
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzmFfRp3Mq
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPG0mnIBZX
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIRljvOqlN
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBARtPRoMx
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo6OSTFery
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5B07cE9WK
That sent me boiling to a1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2zphGo8PK
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwt7b2hw5R
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n7sqd20nv
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu5KbGRJLp
Christine had told me to1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1pgQc9qiV
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d83gnEHdd
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje5WqffcMK
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxmxlmNCNa
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MVnvlwSgE
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FgmHyhkuT
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeRFZtmziX
And now, I had to face 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzxzlyOsSD
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTvclDlDGw
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEjJ3ZbTqf
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8HxTcMh8d
was still so upset.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78UE0fTPhr
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1G4yUzgZX
After I was done, I 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvInw0F4ykF
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS97bYgbDV
others at the dining table for breakfast.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQmvjiK9m5
I found them already 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaY7trmOQm
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWidVY4IRtN
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24cEh13tFU
I felt a little awkward 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkbi9UtF8M
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLzoEey6nB
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDiXif2ZGE
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM17KJ696i
that also felt weird.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPK1uA7p5w
I know that she and I 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PsnC2ppRN
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO7Q0PUhJJ
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBivAZ6pizp
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpZY2HxhBw
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpZsNxpeTS
like something was wrong.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkaqSBbY9d
I poured myself a cup of1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1RQ2AB5U6
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjfRgACsC0
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVygSdSHR5
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95vyuxljUv
My heart almost skipped a1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BPfHvRWvM
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gptrBDQnE
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhahxyu7oYo
too far. I was over here! Hello!1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V4WgS05mC
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX9rbzpqCQ
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKwLpGnQwC
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6FttPr3mw
"I have no doubt about it."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ejrbjG4UL
"But I don't see why you1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsNBZpeNNp
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTRRUP7R7J
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrMqnceGzU
"One thing about fans is1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZKjMW4BFJ
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiUUbLBnh3
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbWbFwcCXC
"I know," said Lee. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycqwuQYOJo
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaZLHLFtB1
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqYlH33NT8
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCNbfa3yXR
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtskZuE5GrV
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYyY87TuRl
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oPiqUgYa9
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnZLG0jR6P
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwFYELsRrB
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VyQIGGn42
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR87490Vh4W
"You're just too quiet, that's all."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGGzE1l7AM
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xLiUDylSn
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc8D6ANAAD
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqYOg5uBOx
I stuck my tongue out at1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bJtRd45vu
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtczDhM565Q
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3srP8zdOR8
still wasn't looking in my direction.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9esiTPosV
Soon after breakfast, we1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7BI5NhAVY
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5x1rArb3h
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzbuFRInco
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR21DGXZw3v
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxHUfHRG1O
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDceUdbDoJ
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzABdO4OOfL
she would.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzbPnGrIh3
We arrived at YG and we 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG3gVEG3i2
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XXPFl86sW
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8cCpR2PlU
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDHfpOqgg1
When everyone was 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCnjMcVubt
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp3hyU2Mb4
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8R0ApL51z
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMDze42Str
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVGXtVEfL3
He not responding to me 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBLAqvxR7U
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAP7eJEbo0
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2IAWNq2En
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ghwdwanhA
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoQ3GM9yum
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzynPFt2fE6
looked away instead.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU7yy1cMGN
We went straight to 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6hTD5FMwj
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA5Syouder
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp2y5R2Af9
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oJCKYuBFp
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0AwVXAYht
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodCKY59UMS
During pratice, I 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiYTU5ZAJl
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpdrwMNQwI
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCQi0F7Ou3
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6WJiQYqnO
G-Dragon wasn't the only1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwlJFpXuXL
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfrKOQwnKO
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9JAnsVWKf
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKwQGp5GW5
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29XRQerK1O
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmNPxG9dFA
As her best friend, I 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTLgRBEdo0
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1gVVMDxFN
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVxPEclVLd
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCIYDS4w6J
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu17rxxSX2h
She is also smart, 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aD5JZgTCq
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS5HcKosFj
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgNtdSj5Mn
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qW3gQxQw4
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAVK5GMVPf
Sam has a lot of good 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2539ZPFYVs
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkAA6Azc4e
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24VUGQLqlt
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PKIYzOZF0
want to hurt anyone around her.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaUw3hnuGx
Realising this made me 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv7Ug1H8sV
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk16jIwn8XX
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1jvyEjpxw
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JKBdJJkMT
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhLF2RB5wu
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33LDIhoJpM
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgoLOnGZyS
realise it till now.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCaDzeHz3a
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Ok9UcRLn
"Zoey, you aren't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYLrf7GJye
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMsgWCTv8Y
second time you have made the same mistake."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMaL4jqEgk
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvMJFd2ZHR
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAa408Usv3
It was lunch the time we1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWR8mZN2YY
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT8bVJexkp
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOCq5FNEDw
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rEHrYWNSt
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ54ONVLan
they were all laughing.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghZ1LTwC6e
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xIftZUZuJ
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4keaJTgXh
"Still not talking to Sam?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ntfs7S8of
"Nope."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkDnjSCrxb
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPEtEttFgZ
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q3aP3fVGt
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjLnai64d7
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi18fjxrBiK
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwFJXIXyVZ
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZrWm1lONu
"I know. But you aren't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSBUfyu2DI
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07dgFkthy1
You would be chit chatting like you always do."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV9oJInY2Q
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs7ngSyP3B
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHQsqQaug5
I frowned. "Why?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoOt2Esujc
"Because you look miserable."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytLM185XfZ
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsydqRjc0rK
"Miserable!"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLHLm4hiH6
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf3gab8i8U
I thought for a moment 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRRZ7DTaYW
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwN0UhYoc3
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRLt6yEOkO
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRvo888MFA
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDe7xKqSRs
Seeing all this in front1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD9keoBaOA
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHUC4SLTLp
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD6ZES0Ree
Until TOP came to talk to me.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkyNRWr4zh
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0ZG5FK06k
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsvgagIa0Y
"I don't know," I said 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYATQaGNDEI
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQwG3zMaAh
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuSk0Wkasg
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.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCEqCwbI3a
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WaZApndi0
"Then why don't you talk to her?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf6RcwMRVP
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Trbpx5Dh
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjTtueowsL
"I know."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFL0jH4hsr
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ70DrZOmg
"I'll think about it."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VYtiwEEJO
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm7btmDD5N
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVh0etU3Ty
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00gjgroKUR
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMt69Cj3f7
The three of us went out1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUE10eFye5
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv21sO1Ccpg
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9nfMdENvV
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss2srAgZm4
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpASvEzPxOy
"Chill, you just ordered1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk3wf5E7YW
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7TjV8Bvnl
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqQ1suIflQ
"But I'm so hungry."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnNdEcpgBQ
"Trust me, you aren't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqQa3OXHHG
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLjI8GTQku
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAi7Hr6R7Q
have."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgn7JODMpY
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XdR2gqLDO
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF8jMj74DZ
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9grIBCuLi
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxSY2QEUhg
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjfM68W5wy
I didn't say anything as1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkVJAiymmj
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aUKCubips
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9D3W5bzkA
calling.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQczwIXB9y7
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxwoe87Bq1
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOQkmw9IkC
"Okay, well you better answer that call."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxNt7wOhKl
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdy6BxdWih
"Hello," I answered.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoGaKchpbW
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerRhFwCg2x
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j9vKPVvaV
"We have to meet today, ASAP."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wgh5ij8N6
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKMQk66yU9
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW9X0AaN1i
I knew Jehan was going 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp1OW4XnL9
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl54Vo9rUm
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yRymRDlg2
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGSUOAIESR
was upstairs in the dance studio.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUnGzN4x0e
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKbebmVcnA
"I'm coming to YG to get it."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3iInxYo0t
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKsOVV72o9
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59pOvWXeo5
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy0mx1DR4J
He cut the call and I 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd6yxKCuxu
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhBW2KIbnt
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsIxXyGh7X
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lK1JjxAuZ
him they would start to ask questions.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzp9dMMlUf
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl2kdE4o1P
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbbx1yjt9J
"What?" I asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8UnDkc8Te
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSHQ07jAu0
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtslC9aJ5g7
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjNIUEX0Bu
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEu7BWK8xV
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpC7NJfplD
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtPCIbiqcM
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoWBcOqHyC
Dang it! I was cornered 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCdbgGwGtr
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x0tfqIYs5
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqfQzFbeti
light no matter how much you try to hide it.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAN3Mh5zBg
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULML4UbhpH
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX8qb2nk6k
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxEpyHqw59
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lbyDPbfdb
I told them everything 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ727NEaN4
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqZQuN9slv
said a word until I finished the whole story.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQdbueFjdC
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS4I4NFn4j
"Just you two," I answered.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ijSTuMOxZ
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcXYHfyqnl
"Surprising, right?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3414hraSU
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf6lf954oM
"We should involve the police," said TOP.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCwuYuVzLD
"No! We can't!"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fCoju9LpT
"Why?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRndL8w4jy8
"You know word goes out 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAck75S1ki
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIfMrTScvq
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmbwu1pWlm
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX3qHXyyUf
"He assured me that this1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBQ6LXvalJ
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx8llRK7Gt
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjS6NNz7ei
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZbqAWSDcP
The three of us turned 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7HrV0yznc
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDVskJI7cB
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6efE3peWX
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX81d1tpVjQ
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNQW2mIU3R
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeVYrYvie2
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLc0u0L4Ug
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZEzu3Izx7
"Random stuff involving a1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjotrTzh0s
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp3hjlIHjC
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqEYYGEJNH
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13LP3FLOew
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH42m3Gzj94
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeUPmSVemZ
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47lx8iiRpx
"Okay, I won't."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2w0M7lxJZ
"Sit down."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxIG4LBLaj
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTwlPpba4G
"I got myself into trouble," I started.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkJ43feIVl
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzySkUhCAm5
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUhzhNqyCa
Christine's face soon 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTpU06FOnA
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFZDtRBYpk
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9gdhQ2HFL
"What!"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRGe8IT0X5
TOP quickly covered up 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kBlhF9Vzd
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNjXP6ToWR
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ha2giRYY
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgEo9BV9Ea
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc7fgZIivJ
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgixwbWPo30
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdEKvNZ2uk
"Of course I'm mad!" 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IfR9s6lti
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxPSc3xbAf
but this by far is the worst one of them all."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPifcrjlwt
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDl1TGnCNj
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNJantXiF1
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLoxsQfw6y
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vjhEdGS5h
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZFKa9dhP9
"WHAT!"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBF4HMzLol
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d5kkglULO
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHSmeDbl44
"And the one I met at the café," I said.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ybw3qfWk3
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsoVzovBCY
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBlazbAiUF
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9UTsDcy2q
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Cxs5ipI6
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7rwvbhPSL
"Ya," I said. "I planned1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCY8vlXgeq
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNxYzyZYMp
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrINyLieOA
"So you're the one who 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmhe2eAxAm
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKLduDU8t1
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6oUBtZON5
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ncp0UHlvw
out with Seungri."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPXIHjCPkK
"I lied."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fl4huNXFK
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVpe9jPSbE
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kHShsqYaZ
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3gAG0pHEK
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr45W7fkJ8
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPuyMdTEme
"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."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cdIF70DDX
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk1NZpTQ39
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQyywRZROk
"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."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtMAlRAAfA
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ022IgDb3fB
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1nnRCYTJ8
"But where?" I asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDI5T8ZRut
"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.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlmGqeSEwP
"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.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEoZ8P9bu5
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSnQZWgGOY
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZR5GvGnNB
I took my phone out and 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBKAwj8T26
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWoLXcH4f8
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPccyQ3foGV
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz7CEJ9Cfv
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdFELBvbpp
Seungri had ordered ten 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCp3JtFFkL
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyDjBm7OTm
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllemXLrxpC
favourite.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRZDiePfte
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcBU5B7pjb
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI2hxIDc24
"I'll be ready for 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV6dq5ACsI
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIbtMHfPs5
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CjwtCIGwb
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEkchiGMSw
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgdsu2uLFf
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCdhk21IDN
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA7YDfg9sr
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4V4rNVxYa
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqn87ff3GS
We found ourselves back 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXczMChcWV
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXWXzJ04ga
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzng2r3esX
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFaYJBz0Vq
paranoid?1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv4jcBH8TY
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMzXvGjryo
"What?" I asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv5PQByRMG
"You were frowning," Christine answered.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N461XHLdX
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLoWgSNwk7
"Says the person who 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNBGENxHWW
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiZSARzBIc
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQxrViLXBu
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ivHmF7cvS
Soon after lunch, we 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB1JWkgaXB
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQh352sNpI
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0fFCE7lxS
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC76VGetvGs
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ1GLPCtTp
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVRjrpAKrR
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQSKZ7gZDE
At some point in the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwiTQuV68b
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kSzGwLPkw
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV0p6qezu2
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0APpjaDlLf
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tOMTZsI2j
back to practising until we could pratice no more.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBLxgbeEUW
It was five and the sun 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRnHX4cPe0
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMgeJsVV3a
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfidy7raRz
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVlqs2sGYj
side of me. We were all pretty tired.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI9uwyDyES
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jqgqaxajm
While I was resting and 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGkNGCm0qg
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIMgan1qdm
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvCr4CJkZP
look on my face.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZjQ6Tx3C5
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPC8HVak5m
"Go? Go where?" I asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZID8FmB8R
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj7uo9u5J3
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzuMdc7Wou
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIXshhM9Sz
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJjvMrDvyn
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EnH4XDghd
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l3ldXC3S9
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQDw0y3pXx
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpeZsuCDwg
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZCtHhYmKH
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ3eR0HV8m
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M70EhJOPd
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5t5RhZXse
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1J86iCt1S
"Why don't you want 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt5vKSnzM5
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWmYVo4aUi
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwbknmglwV
not to follow."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2y9KDxyxI
I wanted to protest and 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbpw4comlK
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXGbl9iiI1
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXE7YmrtHl
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe6G2wdPjk
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVuehquC04
Dang it!1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvnGB9OjVX
"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.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X8GPCw0dN
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YKw7dOAMY
"Thanks, that's nice of 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6i300S9RL
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g7eKv8Hxp
the others. "Have fun you, guys."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVy1QxiY8m
Sam and Daesung left the1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnnZ2PAF5r
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe4IscXzZJ
myself that the two also made a nice pair.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJimf9BPgc
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS60yJUI0jU
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YnnYJPBuc
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8ECfLe4Ue
Christine stood up from 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71vDnNKROn
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrFpKqKLX1
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0wyZBNmn1
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x7Kx9RSp7
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iznXWX8j0
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHT7xM7CGy
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwCYkoSatW
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlVMUSNMGG
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcws8QazeL
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPJtpak0yW
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtHKyRi3e6
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ075dpu4xkg
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2itrwBCPN
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU5Je77aeo
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQyNS2bh6P
"I know," said Christine.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G7nRMJLEg
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgIP6uVM5M
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMOx07JNTS
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QXivcyPMe
"So that she can judge me? No way."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJimAc8rVK
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHMNQQuUkl
"Don't try to convince 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUu9WpjXfE
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSLcnNotXh
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOimQZ06Pn0
like she could hit me with a hammer.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEJkD1NnXq
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQXs43gHFc
I got up from the floor 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMeQyfpLiw
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0x4TlNIC7
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8dF0cFrBS
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5H2HyPAcd
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg9l6ZhDXR
The cars soon left the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcRVJFvAIl
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOJDTriviW
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQS0FYqseH
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAx0fSUOAN
"Can you you please stop1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJc7OCqUJp
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0no8lXF9M
the teddy and lose it in the car."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal2dF0NnbG
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvFrbpcA4b
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccO5MiVGbV
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLHPIyUa3a
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbd4eMeTeX
"I just want to get this over with."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlqRiXGRF9
We were soon packed 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQYGHv2Cx1
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEVkqgLQd0
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh1aA2Wl0e
turned to look at her.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxFGDTLWEK
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvPDoX6THM
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0CuSZ0sGN
Seungri also turned to 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Qam3Cs4R
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNswVteELxe
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hZKHXnLLx
chest and I wished Sam was here too.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaxnlOKoUw
I soon got out of the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oviL1DqYz
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh28tbpaS3
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56r2vLRECP
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO6RaoH3B6
Before I could find my 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93OseHfoVb
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAPPmCEaz1
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktz49JTScZ
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHKjcJg8oG
I quickly went in the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadtLkZmtxK
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBCXFPhHEp
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP14QnxFYzb
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOhIJAB7DT
I slowly approached the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZOqE8XxUg
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrZ9nmO7bx
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHXaqKaESm
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTI42ex190
hesitate to end my life right here.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiTeVXBzdu
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6TraVWyI6
"I was practising today," I answered.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeImgoExrtX
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwTKIvqnK0
"Thanks," I frowned at 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93psk64B8Z
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGRbAPVCIn
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3mMWAff6L
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnuCczxzt7
I quickly reached out 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6pyn7qJ3j
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2n1xcSxH7
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV8p1DtiKS
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfvf31NBAO
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfSCsoGBPf
"What now?" I complained.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AktNaPXQ0
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqjmmP6NMu
"What do you think? That1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yukx8vqXE
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG7eu6z0PL
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g3WOuG79M
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2m6WRzRSf
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjT9dmdjQZ
Jehan raised an eyebrow 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeqLICGMmG
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tm60XqOMH
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1oehxrbXj
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ7zFdM2nW
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6N7I58kHf
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOznTsmutM
I went back to looking 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMmX5umIPv
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mv9YqeftN
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysxYM0wm97
surprise me that he carried that thing around.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWvVwxSdx0
Jehan slowly laid the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AL8mXxDnU
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndH0fUS6AA
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFo9LTk7db
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRpOqUyekE
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhYAZTgRwY
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv75Hkumd4B
the teddy bear.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHA3PpWMgE
Wait. I frowned. This 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0bXoxrKAH
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpzlgYySyi
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq3Tnwo2Sv
diamonds!1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vOH5YGCeI
I stared horrified at 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3v8wxbGYJ
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tEYhREBTH
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtLE3As1n3
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4HBQ5t3AO
I looked up at Jehan and1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJOSs7PEOY
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRPaVcfBo1
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9smGenMZd5
that, he was going to end up traumatised.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXErxZudUt
"Je-Jehan," I said 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCcoteksdj
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH0roNiDqR
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dv6ix0qmA
there."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoxp9gjnz3
Jean neither moved nor 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FSObdWroP
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYlsFJvJXA
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwLM5uH5Q1
But how could this be? 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f6XTEjQMU
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw3sLoRvMK
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGkKftL5l6
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYI12ZpcR7
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFPekg0YGh
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgymHuVMQeb
He banged his fists on 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD4OPYitwT
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BCxXNiioz
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmcDgWsy20
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iEUM6Q9gs
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFKYSQdoi3
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoPKmcncmL
"I don't know. I don't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKF8zIWmEp
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIU4U0NZmX
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR2QSZSAvA
"How did the diamonds go missing?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq2Jm3oQq6
"How am I supposed to 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87sXJeHsxL
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQYn2SAOt0
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZYkj5wQeK
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyokR1QdPO
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRUI1aRNzy
Jehan rubbed his 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1elB4ApjJU
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv1ytNACOV
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OonVENFRc
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpcFcnGVOe
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d1mdz1Pc3
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzTPQwj7n2
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkKMzgH4Us
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ846FhdDcUA
"I don't know."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBoYw2KSpn
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFit2GTaPl
"Ummm," I looked down 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JiqzVVOti
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK8VTidRnE
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFRlUkABDS
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWUaDqsj5B
"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.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE3UZCbNC6
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWmQElikvy
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2P5s133HV
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDUrwzAedd
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrPzbMkKkt
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghUqk2OxVn
"I don't think so. Lee 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm3M6AmXQp
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOS68cNqgi
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pCAZEkMIA
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhs9zBbn15
"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."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ0h3tow4q
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Wu4Ufs4E
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoBEByZFYC
After I said that, Jehan1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7aUJr6Gv4
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEfcC9xbwQ
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMyJms3EEb
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxwf8LZcG7
look on his face.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPuGWPgWV2
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjBccJX9rV
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP67W2CDxQi
"I remember one of my 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhJ8YI5HEA
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xC5irLMEI
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X8BKU1FJr
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyobpucT1Ef
"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!"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmhjsYohwo
"Huh? I can't start 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg7zGU7sKz
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf2T3zxPav
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS5ywhGK1x
that the bear is missing."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwsbGIQMQT
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhwo2jxUkQ
"What do you mean?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0aUis31ft
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09LIWUGP9O
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xvKVyDGJ7
"Now that, makes no 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTLE8iwmBh
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS6fX8BHRj
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst4bYytYh7
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEo5XPGJh0
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNAbs215Nk
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ8w94T9qN
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KtFJFrn4Z
I completely forgot that1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCWsPIHT2F
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMSmIfF6jq
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAPXgWhDLd
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2pUJDsXO0
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsujwjWSPQ
Jehan gave me a smile. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQDBYQSunh
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkK3qkM0x9
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPCu4Tu1Yl
I nodded my head and 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOowH6m7PD
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdLLeKDOFy
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeWMmHB1dF
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI5Ld6Xyhc
I sat there as I buried 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscTSppVnxQ
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOIVMKfPVi
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkjWiL1xpo
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9CctSGLec
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y91qwP9bw
drama that might just ruin my life?1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdcGXfkZZg
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.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pJCLPuGZD
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5kAaECrrM
I could hear footsteps 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHjXCOvh5V
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTfOLlq0e3
when they saw the look on my face.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ey8dWiz16
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEFjwGj0aD
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD2EkMuZ4S
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko7uw67dwE
"No," I answered. "He didn't."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSYx1bZV70
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH04Fo3l67
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhFjM5Xf2l
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."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfXqFifAbB
"And what about Lee?" 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxaIG2Br4c
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALgQAoNqQs
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG8teKr1tF
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zkgPxiB7W
to."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSHGvleI4n
"This is bad," I said, 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj0JqCV4cc
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BlK5ljAeu
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuovJcc3Gye
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GuJbriA16
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYLc2IJXdc
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCN9kFcOXG
"Sam?" I wondered for a 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r5IQ48sXs
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImE5XMxgEu
she have swapped it with the other one?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbIFqbkIGN
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOw4rYoSpg
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZTP9RijHG
what's really going on in the first place?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RyorCvd80
"I doubt it," I said 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwNyhvhnbg
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZwLEUj5WL
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsDNUdyXMQ
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzZDyDkmJd
TOP and Seungri looked 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxcmWzhqXO
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp1CijRfP6
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIAWwdVr13
it away.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyErvMTOTp
"I highly doubt it too,"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMEdq9HI2V
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HQ9gsh0yt
she would have asked us about it."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekbPIj1tez
"That's true," said 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNvAWYpLUm
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlXslVKNzO
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAooiLHvVtd
"And I checked out the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g2dOd6ZJH
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3x7kbn8iV
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes30Kk9kWC
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCDK6VIXqs
"No, I highly doubt it,"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGQIzdfvf9
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJztFTdEmr
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGPqEnPeM8
said nothing about them entering a toy store."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ95Xg14q9
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCWK9jCLQu
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15r5ft2vlx
"Collins?" Mike asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlFDzOhiHL
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOuy3B8yHH
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgvKUQ0PM6
"But who knows? Maybe he1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVksmIpNDY3
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1UiQhukUV
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXWj4jgpc0
times."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTAAdB4527
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdks8jFGUj
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANl7tSEKDI
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPHMyT2YTM
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8x1PTeHSY
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF985IdUjWj
"He was the one who went1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEwJXnpVg5
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WTMD5lOUt
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqHKOpIeX5
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyrWxkx5eL
elevator."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31WOzvuGhw
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMAmg8g8ku
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTGAzEJYCs
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TnXq5k8vX
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur6pJoX5nz
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfjguUATi6
"You're right," I said 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafGQ6suozr
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcrnCRCqJT
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsIieShk33
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnVr6sQo37
We all walked out of the1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuL3NpU7hp
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK5yfwcLgI
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIELlA8EpCA
While I was in the car 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5cWUaS5vw
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YmS8mmxyN
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J5O40t5Gg
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP1mmycHhv
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TuvrHYBoo
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfjLRiG24d
If it isn't him, then 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZAwDV8Ns5
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdXQAY32sG
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvax08ZP6L6
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUinUxUPAnr
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3pvL5lwY9
What if I had the wrong 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTbczUdQOA
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1z1vQ3fqk
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYn85cBX9b
place without any of us noticing in the first place?1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNrwl4gyMc
I hope I could be able 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC6dJXZDKJ
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UuFxQ2ECb
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that1028Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITnRqtlQG9
happen.
