Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 23: Swapped

Zoey's P.O.V999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW5WC4LUIv

Waking up this Monday 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NZbwX7HmG
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwtOV5igze
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk4d8evYgo
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeL2NBa577
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5vhwrolv4
myself to be.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoC2hXeEhj

I couldn't stop 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pA5AZz2mA
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeY5X6lijc
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rdjj5U7vR
feel that something was wrong.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuLWVIKRDv

Could they have known 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImthai2SaC
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEQiWsJI4b
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y0JLf4F8v
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElX1X7SiGh
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ0jyzF9Ul
just had our usual conversation.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKHl2XftWM

I brushed off all those 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGRtyd6dSF
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMDjIAZyoh
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fNYyCWw4B
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd5UYtsVrV
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTIh9jrxXB

But now that she wasn't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkE5qRdLAt
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffOxBoxoia
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOey4saLJC
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcMzdijQa7
woken up early before the alarm rang.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGucwWK99ko

I sat up on my bed and 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFO4TGUk9q
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFZriuOT1V
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7LrVpawKM
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFftzQnKHor
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtPztub5oa

After seeing her with 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ch2tSsYx
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UIByTI25K
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXF8rf9DUZ
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXRheDN2my
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iE7lxcQ1T
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeJ8UMRe6A
day. That left me devastated.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnuLU0bh4K

I couldn't stop looking 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnXFQKhbGe
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBm35WlDdP
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4vlxOe9r3
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47tbq8qVMW
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZEjPc1HCL
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqjXCDLE3B
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCIuHtcKDA

That sent me boiling to a999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kxQpblvbX
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDa0hbMQtH
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xg1jqeQXa
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNClZVMAvNx

Christine had told me to999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm6EaVGkvL
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n3wwNKVTi
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPek3vqy8zD
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW7LUwOCuY
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFpctE04DQ
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1IXSOdOqv
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKxwiF0VL8

And now, I had to face 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VZLVk9AKh
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauJw6ukFW5
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYSx3BMf0P
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HCv93uiAK
was still so upset.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiCXgX49OF

I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP1I6amVJf

After I was done, I 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXVCI0LlY1
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlTnYbQFNE
others at the dining table for breakfast.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOS14jqUXA

I found them already 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoxqTWFH4X
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApsLmLs3bQ
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnLlulUwon

I felt a little awkward 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysnYsLzU0D
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7cKDzwCaS
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47x2AZ85Dt
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOaygCcDej
that also felt weird.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhl7rwa7EJ

I know that she and I 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1RDHtF3a0
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobn0CJdgHo
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONkyihE7kV
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyT8HFLwKq
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi6iDPkTmK
like something was wrong.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKOBoQHNot

I poured myself a cup of999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50bywUOhqm
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccEsWjwHlf
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIZ6XwkbnX

"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPvwQAex05

My heart almost skipped a999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z2Y5WDenN
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMVNlKE83r
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VNSlomDm2
too far. I was over here! Hello!999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWWgo5YHUB

"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12vrYXo8On

"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl6zcglmoB

"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdmRGKTYhv

"I have no doubt about it."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZXzJgGpQm

"But I don't see why you999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLp6eDRB1H
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTi2O34h2y
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXKV8cZj0K

"One thing about fans is999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAenykgsMqw
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZaPEWZzuf
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICBaHqx1f0

"I know," said Lee. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIoQBYfx9p
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66cNtnoNyO
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdvokhJyHE
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y3PM9AB8f

"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1cg4jL5vf

"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww2dwJPhsN

"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK090wM4gk

"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUTXpv7BIU

"Aye, aye," said Daniel.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2XUH2qMxZ

"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMOAHlaht6

"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSsrcL1XlT

"You're just too quiet, that's all."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aK8AzRaDl

"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF5VtDvVKE

I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSJwI8OGcU

"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblj5w8rNwb

I stuck my tongue out at999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0psHNRIeKJ
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBACftIxzFC
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh1fHtJkjE
still wasn't looking in my direction.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KSZcx35FK

Soon after breakfast, we999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1DaBLJBWS
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n0D4E0Q17
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7i4syUwFA
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBEduU8rD0
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ38tpbQjfj
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XVb9yA7eZ
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYKYZLXAfv
she would.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdeILzFyoW

We arrived at YG and we 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03DpuHUMf5
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM8XD14BAo
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIReFbwJ6o
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehK5q6dMGQ

When everyone was 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOZbBOIAHw
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBjJixVPq8
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObyPMmyhzC
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4GwPhEsMJ
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoErRWZ4DEE

He not responding to me 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc50Uqf7Du
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6XrkkBiK7
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnNd90mPv9
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRPT8bWMFi
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwjuGAmTI4
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxY2FFExyc
looked away instead.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa4GmdiojD

We went straight to 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG7dWW4ybq
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfrOtUFs8n
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrrC5L4eHV
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOt6Nn1VUq
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EUfDOXN25
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAvOpAtNUI

During pratice, I 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapr7Cv8iga
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUkDaTVPWo
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL5aJFEYk0
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGiJqBhaBy

G-Dragon wasn't the only999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNEied3b2P
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtydZYgcLD
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDhNt1WAOc
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljK1yZI6yk
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ4ODSZnx5
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQggfQfiNH

As her best friend, I 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjly5fRIO5Q
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzVaEIFVxz
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FgOYBRUGu
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyTTNUbMbf
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HtuVHTx6g

She is also smart, 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIBJqqC772
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsdkOyKQ77
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzgbaHQ3a0
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZLc6bul6J
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ298BSrp3E4

Sam has a lot of good 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXCE1ec75P
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBvgTZxRoL
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTof0fMKq0G
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymqDQstx52
want to hurt anyone around her.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX4qh3E084

Realising this made me 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyhTXIw5Ud
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E1BQZ4Gcq
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELTdM7kDiU
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrBfLMJ5PX
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84yYi6yzm2
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tWoftaOjF
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6oXsm7QPr
realise it till now.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjpa3Bhwnm

"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYmUR9QIBH

"Zoey, you aren't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y15aCoobD
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1ytmERbtu
second time you have made the same mistake."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvAyM6tpEr

"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVBzWElCxg

"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVinDTm6Cb

It was lunch the time we999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjRVzFKj9K
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLOjznAB0g
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T6QmEJymh
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqGnVMUzEU
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLqslUNHZq
they were all laughing.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA9VoFf9Fy

"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOnstzEg11

"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA47jhGS9U

"Still not talking to Sam?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcCTKqhjoN

"Nope."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeRj5HKsC5

TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXLtWxBBpN

"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrkLSTMBZe

"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoRjLbMi55

"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUwOSD9Cxf

"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4oaWSjosO

"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Z90w8ew3

"I know. But you aren't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0j6dPorFg
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW00FVsTeT
You would be chit chatting like you always do."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyQZD7bpmy

"What if I just want to be alone for today?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KXSSPBltK

"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ylbFolvgM

I frowned. "Why?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNSqMxp10O

"Because you look miserable."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyQojHas1j

I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3s7TyWcfK

"Miserable!"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFMVmUhqiH

"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOQ9VLOYJD

I thought for a moment 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIPBXzEY30
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjqkfKdAK3
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjqQ1ktYDa
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wLAhTG3lh
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq0eDEJgUS

Seeing all this in front999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjm2oEKKaI
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAl4eKnusR
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSMthv860u
Until TOP came to talk to me.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv8EpkxOGK

"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Ge6gG7bR

"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7JWouZUHR

"I don't know," I said 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqw4z0fDfM
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsA6aWkzmI
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pYQHLHquY

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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXirdyUFpY

"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TlYu6hXKA

"Then why don't you talk to her?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqyQABOBgm

"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEttKOZeUTg

"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxWdH5i3QV

"I know."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNCvkZrKQa

"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpFxlcapwU

"I'll think about it."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2G8vaVplJ

"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO92UsaK3WW

Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoKczoOWL7

"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TlT4ALIRI

"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu9BRST4aQ

The three of us went out999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGmgQvao3x
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZznSYBjqR
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1dC3Rg2gb

As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiaO4cVMrm

"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3w58vL6L6

"Chill, you just ordered999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf08P9Pl2Em
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k33jeuEv4
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpMQfi8YPN

"But I'm so hungry."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQdFMRVEwF

"Trust me, you aren't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOHsvMxYri
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyBUTB8g9S
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iY3Uz6hnF
have."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i5rJzqNYT

"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqCvWkV9PT

"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2LISxrAmm

"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCWdtQEUzy

"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDftc39GIfP

"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPaSGsSBJV

I didn't say anything as999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bC2oX3sBT
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoslMTTMXN
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULMhsOqEtL
calling.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EnFj8V454

"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ybaQhGB9M

"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaduYl8ime

"Okay, well you better answer that call."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5x2TRxsyN

I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DzEJP7VD8

"Hello," I answered.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iKyTbpGzZ

"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xQm4Ts7kV

"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBujcMBJkTb

"We have to meet today, ASAP."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFmVq7Ura5

"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDxdn0kCrk

"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UyJ2cTAj5

I knew Jehan was going 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN73XOhuSd
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KGxbMXOUQ
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h2H71GjZH
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHhi5z3rai
was upstairs in the dance studio.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DHa5WsPMx

"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyQCJjDWH2

"I'm coming to YG to get it."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhw88mhjjn

"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUHq8Rbi4D

"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF07UUpSlbZ

"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA0p90wnEd

He cut the call and I 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiAfGF9CDX
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ659x3yATm0
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxssMUAdbVm
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDNinxSslH
him they would start to ask questions.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabIRZLhVbH

"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVymbYAzpq

I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk223E0bj8

"What?" I asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM44o0t4ES

"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBTzlAuQzT

"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6P58SdN0i

"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbec6sp8dN

"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LpA75EZEJ

"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKnysOGbI5

"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPfJlBNzow

"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTEKJJQ1Gm

Dang it! I was cornered 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc6OroWQA7
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NFt8Iqoag
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp39QTDnMb
light no matter how much you try to hide it.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV0LtWmoAo

"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8k8hiYcZm

I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGQ3ZfVBRJ

"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDRdwlJ93s

We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSoLSzhOlS

I told them everything 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVffD3m2qa
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2avaAOLvId
said a word until I finished the whole story.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWOwq3okBJ

"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWVc3S7Ns6

"Just you two," I answered.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiTRJGbPXA

"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARJeuglDDc

"Surprising, right?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRP5f8x7MY

"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7aR7gYFQ5

"We should involve the police," said TOP.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMbU6GRj4s

"No! We can't!"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL05ZocJ7V

"Why?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6MygyA8MY

"You know word goes out 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMLlyb89yH
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfd74DndsH
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL86l7zPL6

"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq6P49lnSJ

"He assured me that this999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVKIBEXwRB
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDZ4xYyJw0
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsubhFivPhB

"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmddq1iz7Df

The three of us turned 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfg6UTtRFQ
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWeEg3kAsn
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJaacfCeEi

"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsea3soRggz

"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjn2hJIfsH

"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1kIgvh28P

"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhdZD18YAz

"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ81YZyU34

"Random stuff involving a999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡForADNRrc2
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2GNPycK3n
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ILXfV5NyL
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd1Wtwg8Xq
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU3jDircAP

I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW04CcFVZnd

"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET8dzIozcd

"Okay, I won't."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCg3noa40l

"Sit down."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylIAfUFnP1

Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVEF1uN5Ev

"I got myself into trouble," I started.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBAiWHL6Hr

"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7CBMP4tFe

"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJQkPC0mwi

Christine's face soon 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriSoD162JA
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehDGDwHGvb
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLy7F2VS04

"What!"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOjJjWDEd9

TOP quickly covered up 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsccrjTHwt
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqshZOQ3qy
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH6WlbtHhJ
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROPWciJqPz

"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ftmPO1VS4

"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFoTSjJ3Kv

"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSsDKxY9Nt

"Of course I'm mad!" 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHz3QnKpD0
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UmGIkdH57
but this by far is the worst one of them all."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8HET4X6Z9

"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28YvNbpxh3

"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP6OEQjvYD

"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbGSOa54vH

"Ya, I remember. What about him?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyyjhO4xSp

"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3iY63yWRY

"WHAT!"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCxX2y8NQ6

"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODvid1efH0

"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdhG218dmB

"And the one I met at the café," I said.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XBhEzon93

"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOgEaFhiyB

"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhzWQUG6Jr

"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHJTKLnQwD

"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaSABlMWiY

"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLTFzPA501

"Ya," I said. "I planned999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74h6z91K5m
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Pp9W0kvh
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9lcGfBZ9I

"So you're the one who 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrJRAcc8xm
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX47fAhYX9
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY8XTfI4Rw
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC4pxi9Kps
out with Seungri."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjy6Doa6Id

"I lied."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLBUDNDB6O

Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WxPkToDdj

"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3yj67p53c

"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5jsRcOd7q

"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeldKfmkgi

"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X5fELoG6k

"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."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTMhR4FQP2

"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsXSN0jTpq

"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAAk51Mzn6

"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."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVeiv3GONW

"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiZ9WtrOWu

"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpaKTQ7YeQ

"But where?" I asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Cap4TQLA

"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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07nnnJwMjp

"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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkunp1HMIGS

"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkY826Hp6Q

"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRFV6rt685

I took my phone out and 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrh12LwaAJ
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SKN5BXq7s
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjPoNH7wyF

"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgHOyIoRDy

"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECC1jdgrqs

Seungri had ordered ten 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZINuzAS2N
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozipr4Ql9d
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmGoUNWKfZ
favourite.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxxZZvbdcs

We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXKi3vm8pk

"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw69UviQx6

"I'll be ready for 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn3VItQRgg
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9rtjdu3MZ
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LfZ04uxCd

"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bKmOWKcat

"And G-Dragon," TOP added.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUpJhUMs0E

"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd1YBtl7V8

"Well, someone has to," said Christine.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNlDmwDu64

"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZvgTI5eu5

"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliIprqLVT4

We found ourselves back 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKCl9gocCZ
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhNcRcAl6Z
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VBMbN6w8C
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLq5c6poz1
paranoid?999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcKF5cMYkV

Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNolB6kv4a

"What?" I asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnhTWtiv4K

"You were frowning," Christine answered.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f9LbQvDPo

"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpnqUnZ1Sk

"Says the person who 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep6zyI51yL
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ6QriGFJi
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEuTDYFi4O
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopZj8eIH4z

Soon after lunch, we 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2kTSL2otp
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hvF25LQ22
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTZ4K7IuDT
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmXluuwzBP
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAqnQrc2N7
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB21ZmSbt6w
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkqFQ4Qy7o

At some point in the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTxpbZpMAO
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLXekpb6Ld
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYGUeBBrnA
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE5lh98U80
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VOW2ApMI5
back to practising until we could pratice no more.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EF7CgySfp

It was five and the sun 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkokGVetl08
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLjKkymbUl
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf3R5kBO06
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjvNpQ8F2r
side of me. We were all pretty tired.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgItJLkyiOb

The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8accHuYfO

While I was resting and 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODOHxwUADJ
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyS6ROjmOj
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTqXpPb0ue
look on my face.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g0iGgks8H

"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVya9XSgWDv

"Go? Go where?" I asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHW8yU4Z5R

Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBogGd7tYiW

"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyeAKD2CQO

"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaBP6iAubS

It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVBUekAThe

"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tuj9Kpdf2

"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxF6x0TMLV

"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3Ivryh96n

"I want to follow too," said Daniel.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT1mb0B8CI

"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V1ZUDUxax

I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1sP6AKU36

"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H3Nghu45l

"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86bCDkAqKm

"Ya, me too," said Mike.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT3iE12cEM

"Why don't you want 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PAODV77Qj
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Rmv53jRo
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiJWZ0vgaU
not to follow."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR4LbIXpGf

I wanted to protest and 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBsgxpsjl2
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxTIFKNeAy
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1OI5X9t1W
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BXjUzWgBA

"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGm7TszXmk

Dang it!999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oWTRfUqNr

"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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5myY5kz7o

"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UqCsZb1I3

"Thanks, that's nice of 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGldw0uU70
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uYQbzcTCP
the others. "Have fun you, guys."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAsdr5ufcR

Sam and Daesung left the999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHko2lFnFH
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8yvvMQacb
myself that the two also made a nice pair.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSzQS4astP

"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pZM85IiZ0

"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9hgYut8vk

"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ7VPTazNg

Christine stood up from 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVrPADwSGZ
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi28Q5k0ZM
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8i7ZwZAaN

I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyXIJSpm95

"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rw19T9u17

"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2kIGzjqcW

"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbRK8eIAA9

Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcdJAB6VKu

I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmYlWer6bP

"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAtlxja4O5

"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxEE1m5n6i

TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KNp5dxqNN

"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqln0JqDdRw

"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua2rrW5z7R

"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASNTdzJVVO

"I know," said Christine.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4ZLWfjlFN

"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw0qj1pBwF

"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmRy4jszV1

"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUSR3g7rDv

"So that she can judge me? No way."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIgV7PBsc9

"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbv5ONmbSL

"Don't try to convince 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiYt5IZiJW
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYAKwGDqrM
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pAOLBrzF0
like she could hit me with a hammer.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt29vLUdf8S

"Okay, let's go," said TOP.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXmpeuWjGo

I got up from the floor 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs53n4ECft
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f2hW0GWkg
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDpMhv0Qla
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWRkSfDojm
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBLfUDiVq0

The cars soon left the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q1e9zfZ1s
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2efn6xpvtk
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh28nQaBUi
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UOkfO1iBS

"Can you you please stop999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7GSRendPr
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hSOXuKqbB
the teddy and lose it in the car."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyRVcg0Tzd

"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJON0uLu6xe

"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBUq6TsqRl

I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgK6ojcNE0

"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK5M389EkH

"I just want to get this over with."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQD6u3PJrx

We were soon packed 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTebLpWQpX9
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxC7as6445
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbtdKUz75I
turned to look at her.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDvScfmihc

"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtexFGeJSc5

"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKEbcggZv2

Seungri also turned to 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkwoUWuWqc
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ55riHjPKx
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiONO645yr
chest and I wished Sam was here too.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohU1ECJZAk

I soon got out of the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRMmEu1m6s
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdd7TkXXJD
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIcs0kLP1D
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vHtN4wich

Before I could find my 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr6UKw432o
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO19YToq7b
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmEXTDQNAI
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH9d8hQMtP

I quickly went in the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjPDXSn9NK
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a43UmOmTM
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfnjktG4Oi
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiOzu9yCl6

I slowly approached the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2do3APBuIY
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCCseklsKe
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab8jKc1PAt
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt5fWrt2hE
hesitate to end my life right here.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAFTYHlM9k

"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQIrWRFbBR

"I was practising today," I answered.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4iql0kri1

"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI0mO7BxYD

"Thanks," I frowned at 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v82fmaRtc
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNt2wOIPlI
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz3io99l7Q

Jehan smirked. "Certainly."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCHQtC0DXS

I quickly reached out 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtc3UdQ5KC
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpOgAUgr0B
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGDKNE5neY

"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLxCN0csrG

"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3xoZFLtPQ

"What now?" I complained.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mFAdP6A1m

"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWTKGW3d7Q

"What do you think? That999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VDuhhuZq6
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQGX6KaLVZ
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIhR1qHkRc
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wax7aGlSu
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNruNNLd9S

Jehan raised an eyebrow 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIMThdz3Sc
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYJUvv9XKs
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXylBkvBOM
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCiran8AqN

"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmpUHJtVvz

"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rrfL3mVW3

I went back to looking 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0VknrSHdv
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDgdEF1Tu8
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlhnUSvpOM
surprise me that he carried that thing around.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NhoStRGef

Jehan slowly laid the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFTQU964zU
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBbSJlvInP
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OF72NAVVM
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BzlXLv4YA
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuVe9kAk6m
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLmx7svAKJ
the teddy bear.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSYcHT3SOV

Wait. I frowned. This 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYPbMiegav
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn1A7zHhhd
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWNCQOGpjP
diamonds!999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCAMdS1sA0

I stared horrified at 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtKRJNJQjH
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnwNARjrEl
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4QpTTdNdI
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCHCpjqzxj

I looked up at Jehan and999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwT19menPj
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoscr0yElji
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0QAuVcPt9
that, he was going to end up traumatised.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1jVS7UCWC

"Je-Jehan," I said 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc79JnObM9R
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy0FbR8pLq
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH87oNyMDE
there."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNAFsXO1Bi

Jean neither moved nor 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0KQdfOyUu
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sGlnOiC6V
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuFTwFvJn8

But how could this be? 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO32yotnVb2
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx72jgnafu
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUZpS7Ak5q
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2FleXT26c

"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27HaR1Ia9c

"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9Z30tIZcJ

He banged his fists on 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvObsnFpQU
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0ucOdR1n7
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOJnk3S4Pu
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkcJU6xVl9

"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Kh5XRCGc

"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbqMmSW8uj

"I don't know. I don't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqmvCmw0pS
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ2E2m0Ioc
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB343dbLKaS

"How did the diamonds go missing?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvmEqzeWDR

"How am I supposed to 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k2XYE2XZf
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiQI1TUgyh
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3txNKaJzD

"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5JMGTnk4v

"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILVYkpjWE5

Jehan rubbed his 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEqiMrgKL5
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy96tXXxp1l
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VE63OW9vH

"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTP7mmyA8I

"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJSUsHsKdA

"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1eanIke6m

"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdwjfmRHqr

"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHK311BwIR

"I don't know."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlRox99f87

Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFhsrzM7K0

"Ummm," I looked down 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCpSlUkSCE
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA279pAF4n
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4uMeqXGAN

"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEyJ6drkoW

"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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu05pxUsNz

"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCGPD5lRsC

"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOxHHNuEGF

"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT32pQ2qgP8
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbye3eHp3Bt
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNm7VKYuFR

"I don't think so. Lee 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov8UaZfi3W
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDh8kQsYOs
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1YLVeEyC5

"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo2iUYXhTZ

"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."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyjelKkYiF

"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD9kYPwgHv

"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jo88nXsvT

After I said that, Jehan999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVCFq3EgrM
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUXsc84szY
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsZBpMSxHV
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrcZuOOILy
look on his face.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAOzY3WVVf

"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKUHfNy48O

"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLy0fJtrvf

"I remember one of my 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhusZTtqnG
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdahO3TyzcF
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvXsn79hbN

"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPphSpgAIT1

"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!"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxTeKPm6UD

"Huh? I can't start 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzVyg5DvJk
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8curYQm37d
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFFSF3z5YY
that the bear is missing."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB72ewnMWNe

"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZibPISE60

"What do you mean?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6V7E9FevO

"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xBB8GBUlP

"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMbsPBweoA

"Now that, makes no 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUVCoIPwwW
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7zMZHDN4e
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6sAbMgTsm

"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJjVriyoVt

"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHpfYPcATm

"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ7yld7ooN

"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmhzJhV6Rb

I completely forgot that999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ETY6RqlPp
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPJdsxG9V4
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWle7twRDnM
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGVYTdpYFA

"Okay. I'll see what I can do."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq44fXBvbjr

Jehan gave me a smile. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI7fRTxb4R
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41unOtbtbp
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEP6iZQjCX

I nodded my head and 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2PiJG18DP
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdoT80Y7FK
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zPLWfhr4s

"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6oRCCk1eY

I sat there as I buried 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X5sa9vjWt
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i5ltOvWmP
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAEjRkyESG
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYok4nZcMQj
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HdUJz8WRg
drama that might just ruin my life?999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4h8SWAzrX

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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXFmYxNupY

"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlvYOKt5SJ

I could hear footsteps 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudOteFZMAf
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtIs40cfXP
when they saw the look on my face.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNcl8Nbzbr

Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCQFfVo06A

"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdnMGlyglE

"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKKDI6D585

"No," I answered. "He didn't."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oqBqkNxvs

"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsPXHSeLmE

"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDrOxTv0fb

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."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdXk4j43uh

"And what about Lee?" 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk6q5DiK1p
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ3qmBZsvw
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGynHuvjWE
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcHqMMC1hT
to."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsruPi20YW

"This is bad," I said, 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84WK4t4YMU
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnGsCUIrKP
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCFmxC93RD

"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTEU6nHrcR

"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj252YC0z4

We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7lOGrsx1F

"Sam?" I wondered for a 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NKqzkJQ38
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EbmpV2MFg
she have swapped it with the other one?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxqJeHG8Gz

"Okay, wait," said TOP. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfihAblKOZ
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGapnOVmbP
what's really going on in the first place?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ4ru17bfh

"I doubt it," I said 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXmMFTr9sF
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OJVU4gTN8
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSiE7hLmGn
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpZyPzTwwq

TOP and Seungri looked 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQytozAkTom
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB0e5OJtS0
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkVKx3AMkE
it away.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzmsZkpLe7

"I highly doubt it too,"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrBBBLHcEz
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h6eu8k6UT
she would have asked us about it."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1OCadAXZY

"That's true," said 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SktUHDAHH
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERgfjvhmBv
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkSl1jQxpf

"And I checked out the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWryfxEUNfC
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ0awlw9U5
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhDPvG7yM8

"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ488hn7ILjB

"No, I highly doubt it,"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xJ2OUbnK4
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylINz4uho5
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSp1XfUE6p
said nothing about them entering a toy store."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH8NLulwMa

"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2E4aJNfLD

"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB2Vgvx29n

"Collins?" Mike asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT3kSgE2Ob

"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl95vfcCiG

"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VgTj7ahXz

"But who knows? Maybe he999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqofCakdU8
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuSGwrXKBu
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeVJe61BRC
times."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY59q5feCF

"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYHZdxvktL

"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsTA9o2gn3

"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVAsojwNHI

Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXvPMeju97

"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uWJzE9pOo

"He was the one who went999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVSFXagkU2
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsaxRimA6Y
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzfKl3VXHe
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVZQlTPBN2
elevator."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK9Vzw4tkA

"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykpdgUsWVc

"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpDHCGO62Z

"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY0BjMCZku

"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tlGIaxd7R

"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOFivjETsX

"You're right," I said 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75fb2tJU4q
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebi1J6E00d
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHrazkJP74

"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AO7142SUZ

We all walked out of the999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJdFIZQ4yV
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX2k4PKrIZ
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xTR8Khf6k

While I was in the car 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCroyHMCIKk
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzMo0CM1tM
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbx2kfjh8e
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4F5WkWlT9
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2547sFYtp
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZLO039GVL

If it isn't him, then 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvuU8rqRpr
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UYXt46uKl
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyqMdd9fmh
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNTpxPJGJr
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7qb1Kvvww

What if I had the wrong 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Nb79Py8H
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkenmlGV1X
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf9tAsAfhA
place without any of us noticing in the first place?999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMUUBt8gp6

I hope I could be able 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H23DmyNZU
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ENl5tkdTi
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYKI0alZ9Z
happen.
