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

Zoey's P.O.V957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ3adaU878

Waking up this Monday 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXp78cwxd6
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHhlCGQ0hT
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvMsWWKSL5
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xrqmfz0rJ
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRCn4Z8nZ0
myself to be.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tt9QKwcVs

I couldn't stop 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStmUBNIYv2
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigTJMh2zy3
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPyoYJIO2n
feel that something was wrong.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz0FIsAnCv

Could they have known 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Nd1VciYN
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ITcSDa8UB
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVmGVkGRic
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn5D99w9Y9
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakFfzfiNou
just had our usual conversation.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEN8tLwRJL

I brushed off all those 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaHACb7dDK
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD22wL09bkr
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGerunRN0u
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHQQecigNF
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa41lfz326r

But now that she wasn't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1KubTVSnK
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoyZjhXbYF
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWJlbr4T61
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwEHsu2TMA
woken up early before the alarm rang.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegnMiAwMg0

I sat up on my bed and 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcEBNhgudn
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDTA81bXvv
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F966CDsXI
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JiO9HBUgQ
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVhMnd9j5o

After seeing her with 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgUEC21NFC
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfWjb1tD49
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OQobjn6N2
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCnJAK1zZ7
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQfE3mtuDK
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcym99lcwV1
day. That left me devastated.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqkdX3TLqh

I couldn't stop looking 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrtcHkbV79
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJNDF7rObP
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WYzqAVEXx
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pyun71o22
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDIaI2ZXaA
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91zrHL0hcJ
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRjxSumMuN

That sent me boiling to a957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzpGBSkiXd
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hKyLFqsK6
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5euEvaWsPj
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW0nzrH9zD

Christine had told me to957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF0bduja3B
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjT0k1N5JQ
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt55pw4LQnU
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUt2tSkC9Q
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIpiXiwPcs
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDD1gslYhU
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvwnrL5Wug

And now, I had to face 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iXDZOaDkh
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYBn9CSUKH
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnIQJ2mspx
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaIuKevtpa
was still so upset.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIhLroBJha

I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTdopdWV1T

After I was done, I 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20mafwGQMj
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlFEzXcQhH
others at the dining table for breakfast.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7rHOMxgfR

I found them already 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1KSha8flm
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtvMKZNp0l
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIrxKSXmlV

I felt a little awkward 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjraxeTzbp
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuahdFRmhUR
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTChgTSlLp
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsGpADPTWM
that also felt weird.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9V1eTeCqI

I know that she and I 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9cmHAZXvT
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe1RyJngwi
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0Jh3FZ3jy
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjpK9Ib2Ss
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbQ6XgHQPq
like something was wrong.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxH0DMKn5j

I poured myself a cup of957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H0pWUHO00
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtujtFBCGOU
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XVnmRRMKF

"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ44HxG65x

My heart almost skipped a957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2YVkKmBGk
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNFEWd2E1K
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HCneFrcKi
too far. I was over here! Hello!957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U1ODxpk7N

"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL4a6kAPIv

"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Swp2K1og

"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUgfJqJ9FM

"I have no doubt about it."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bQSQVRNaS

"But I don't see why you957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqZRFoxo2A
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZcykc8adA
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgciSWn081j

"One thing about fans is957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUXy6xnmde
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArgonbHLHn
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK19pqswRPw

"I know," said Lee. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qAiCfeJ88
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VZqqPIijg
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP546afNvdn
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBYkzWpl42

"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWa9EotDrj

"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD8cGyqeIr

"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptdJNtlpO0

"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RfvuM3tpF

"Aye, aye," said Daniel.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWHpEwKw62

"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZnDWjyD4Q

"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdIPiTxlwY

"You're just too quiet, that's all."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOVmSFZvUT

"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf7tBHR3bV

I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnvr5rPwkI

"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUBWUvVf9v

I stuck my tongue out at957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3v0UUuypg
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUtTegzKLG
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7cXsdqS39
still wasn't looking in my direction.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryahzva256

Soon after breakfast, we957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtglv8SS9r
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15yjG2wihO
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNnj4clbDs
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnfMnUw44f
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFoPNV34A7
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeKHMvG8M8
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0YTfXdd5i
she would.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nA1lt2uJd

We arrived at YG and we 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqicEDqPgb
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuzn11VHJw
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXR3ZqnDf0
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmA1MoBLxb

When everyone was 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj0PuRLN5m
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjtXD1qQpV
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpyY5XVcIu
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IujeZNttV
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WnLpBnCFe

He not responding to me 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3P2zLEkyx
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp2b446E3K
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk4voc5C40
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jz5yxgGEw
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoglXMV2i61
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvwklNrHtr
looked away instead.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXZgcr8ZJ3

We went straight to 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFacHjuFW2
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PxQt4d8hM
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOlgzkoWO3
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wgcm3VGly
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm6R3G0Yf4
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJAiLwPYtL

During pratice, I 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzh1tHQYUS
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjIN7aykCD
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Qjg8jQi0
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjxzeUTD5X

G-Dragon wasn't the only957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpQozoq41M
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYphTtEh7iU
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh3QUl3i47
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjxvoZrhgZ
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Oo18R8e7
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fs2wTdUMl

As her best friend, I 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynmVUcGdJG
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxohAofjli
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJDPBSmWT3
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHmIPvHJGr
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYSRXosrJr

She is also smart, 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e24Lc69cE
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3TsNFLfr3
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklihEFvPRp
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyKKpHjPeZ
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4ioXOx4OM

Sam has a lot of good 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkIWBj0O4R
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt6JRYJX5b
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNK5dkF2Bl
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvStVdRTeF
want to hurt anyone around her.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgX3pjNYgc

Realising this made me 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFa7CjRdql
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvscBDfpTS
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BQdngt1JF
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBAtwmfUSv
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mTjNsd8oT
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX1Z7xBxMg
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzEN7SkuW7
realise it till now.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJQlFZQdwM

"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBZDXZHCGx

"Zoey, you aren't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHPsCbod7l
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VmZ14MSds
second time you have made the same mistake."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqCK6VgQhk

"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlB9Fscncn

"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHImhDrn6x

It was lunch the time we957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccasy6vAnY
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRWPtQQW4c
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqdzubxsZ0
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc5LRHsQD5
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE7qzUe6KR
they were all laughing.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXtPYqwIlk

"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxNWT2GwsP

"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG5PtYhSdY

"Still not talking to Sam?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhjQEiFgsY

"Nope."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF4mYDXwwp

TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfyDRXE8Sr

"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXeVUK0NdT

"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBrB3tW3cE

"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKlks3Cw5h

"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU6Um8YGXY

"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnp9n2IAAi

"I know. But you aren't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG11A7yMxWe
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE46ZrxqRm
You would be chit chatting like you always do."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf4upMhIgQ

"What if I just want to be alone for today?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk4HIB4ilU

"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl2gDjZUTq

I frowned. "Why?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGdldZ9nBc

"Because you look miserable."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIAbtk8WIF

I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtPCzIP4Wu

"Miserable!"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxZqq2kHMC

"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOZV9OYEcV

I thought for a moment 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjc0sDtCTL
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsMcTjAIOb
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTWN04i5LM
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QKlu18Qi8
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAbhKG8Kji

Seeing all this in front957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXDExYWIjA
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMqKzDikwy
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzGHix2qSU
Until TOP came to talk to me.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvtfD3cpEQ

"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh4w0L2G29

"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpNMBmSEQ1

"I don't know," I said 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCddqBsfpyv
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMh83OKdm3
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wc3fIhDRx

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.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV9IH8oULP

"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡairFZU1X4z

"Then why don't you talk to her?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmF69MH8cc

"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGZBdx3lAc

"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh0UkKTLTm

"I know."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡectMyQ0Aq7

"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtcGJxVRKD

"I'll think about it."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZTg6ijRRB

"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImCFdPGTbf

Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK6eqJUcY5

"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B8lxb7ePl

"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohBu4tFTZ2

The three of us went out957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn41UbX87f
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrqSBmNhmo
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8jIBnujzX

As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn7Gsnkgys

"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Uwj3XU4l

"Chill, you just ordered957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1oeR4I03M
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIthhgQky2U
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eUSgwvp5y

"But I'm so hungry."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbaMiMhHL7

"Trust me, you aren't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrkKrLIXpp
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpuJyP42Sz
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY7FLEJARS
have."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAzNuwill1

"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0se5Et45s

"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU6KvGE2ri

"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8zlucjaFy

"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfhcPTPZjO

"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tuSEIA1Eq

I didn't say anything as957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf67SNZVAR0
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1o7tlqH6S
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi3xo4JDK5
calling.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyPeD3b93N

"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgDOzSO91M

"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHi6pSXMkK

"Okay, well you better answer that call."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSPLNeDgOF

I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEhtUzZkXV

"Hello," I answered.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCHiLnvnmO

"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsGkZTAYA3

"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI1IIs9EH2

"We have to meet today, ASAP."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr7JLYj3vj

"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wVGA2FRF8

"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE428zh8GB9

I knew Jehan was going 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVckScGkSM
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIRMoFa9Wg
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb82lbXpFYn
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmoGQKJeAI
was upstairs in the dance studio.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrKehrUxni

"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KseLgeAB5

"I'm coming to YG to get it."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNc4IKBpcd

"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3G6gm2Rcf

"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktEhxfwoYE

"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgWZDYiocL

He cut the call and I 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRKDOBpOtr
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dwbc0gf48
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIeOgBgM2M
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8zMfJWUo0
him they would start to ask questions.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYt4oPUVI6

"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT3D401z46

I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0axgOrmdS

"What?" I asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXnu8oTd49

"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6DsitjKK9

"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCDznxd9aY

"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAYeUeeEnH

"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqy5Q368Gz

"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYKE2ftmmp

"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k0USiJhVU

"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElrJjmcQGR

Dang it! I was cornered 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5nWuxrIN5
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6wUhpc1R0
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGXpB2rkDr
light no matter how much you try to hide it.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvsLkLRnst

"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrKRUXec4t

I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaJizVDg5S

"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqWLSphqyK

We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0KRk6IEIq

I told them everything 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWurl4HvyV1
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KFAUOba5x
said a word until I finished the whole story.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHceAPB8Dm

"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lIF76TlnC

"Just you two," I answered.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjNIKmrR5c

"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAepOm53gp

"Surprising, right?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxOcIqbQAm

"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdoYkg1qNa

"We should involve the police," said TOP.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oph8lOJY7

"No! We can't!"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM2mK35X8B

"Why?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiPJUTxEnL

"You know word goes out 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o8EfMlsbR
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllyBjTGM2S
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoId8EmcMwd

"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIDo5BxLWV

"He assured me that this957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYclW3AxCJH
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzZwESZrKi
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8VwAF5rPM

"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJJYEJ6L5y

The three of us turned 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdHolxNrk8
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhrmjDryHL
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kdxk5Z03O

"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNCuhpz3qM

"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpDUXvnuN8

"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyYfNL26kU

"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i4QDtnt4W

"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTdj12fCky

"Random stuff involving a957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCmYO64zvH
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOF65shwYX
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuiwcpnOFZ
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoibYZEWzaa
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyKg0DzsbX

I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW7QKa9Qoh

"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzZeBBopd4

"Okay, I won't."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaEXe0Kohy

"Sit down."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4yOLd8JjV

Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kj9X8HDuw

"I got myself into trouble," I started.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFsnSHG7Xx

"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiazwVoAJLn

"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK0N793hp6

Christine's face soon 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNlpQoIIl8
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwol6IQMWD
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn8zI388Ho

"What!"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuzWoUxBDk

TOP quickly covered up 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NfHJlHLuE
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gimQuJaP1
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQE0p6pbSv
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9ApVuSzim

"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTbDEjieQs

"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC18LIxZkz

"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQJgb59P6r

"Of course I'm mad!" 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx6C3khBpt
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCLyOtz4fP
but this by far is the worst one of them all."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4nti6hrcY

"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXEUhQYlC8

"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTloZ0f2e0

"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjdIQvO7kM

"Ya, I remember. What about him?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtSmGLAHxj

"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKHUlq0ya4

"WHAT!"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdQGNOzbX4

"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4MIpHUWgk

"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GxsAnGbOY

"And the one I met at the café," I said.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJQyUQzVFV

"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0pTqBRmvX

"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrzvzDazIX

"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PePA5Y5Ff

"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M24pZrZHx

"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fe7GRtss9

"Ya," I said. "I planned957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyZWpCycnE
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMOcZFVxUT
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsdi4QW7rO

"So you're the one who 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAGx2iwD6N
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRJ0YJuqc3
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHq9OXJnb2
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWEuL3i8DC
out with Seungri."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nhZknvuKz

"I lied."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIel8Gy2JC

Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7DecB80HB

"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbNxtO8VLf

"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYsYutgbvt

"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mi58jLFcg

"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDRMUZF2HR

"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."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQEf1J4WWh

"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhSnOJucqP

"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpibRhj6Qt4

"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."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssHQyLwBrS

"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMVcjQuQOe

"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LsjjTuWoH

"But where?" I asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSSpItNybO

"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.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNlsAROTHn

"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.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOryWXdJbw

"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSeqz6jUVz

"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gus9rEUk7

I took my phone out and 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4oe4mxvss
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphkIJN1pwC
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALvXEvrmMU

"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWOxSwdV6c

"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSQmETz3To

Seungri had ordered ten 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizIT9xOYi7
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPEW8IOOEr
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kxbtbqw7S
favourite.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vkkz8iAq7

We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UxpufbyyX

"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnG9ZEVyj4

"I'll be ready for 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9kHKI1SsY
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVkInnoRpw
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPXPOjmn4j

"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDddLZqPEw

"And G-Dragon," TOP added.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMPxMoKKNx

"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX84j1ptfrc

"Well, someone has to," said Christine.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5R7q1zzkn

"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6srBMb7PX

"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBKwNM4Uol

We found ourselves back 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7pqcgfyhf
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w2e3q8OLq
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7qm3imOBm
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGa1fuAJXZ
paranoid?957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7qzdqP6Uf

Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORyaUkDcJ4

"What?" I asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPkGCUDNhG

"You were frowning," Christine answered.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOsx8pFBmB

"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm05sNVQeJr

"Says the person who 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIileHeVmy
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRGXI02iAt
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FxZquyalf
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJnVEs6n2X

Soon after lunch, we 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubfwe2GT3l
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRxFvj6a79
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF91g8aeZzM
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyPanInQFz
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy6SFhYCY4
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqpIpTkpKI
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwmizvO2qI

At some point in the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse7AXybkOD
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu97AJFyzH7
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqlFJd0VB7
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rxl8qr5eQ
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYhFUEAttV
back to practising until we could pratice no more.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24EIvfSG30

It was five and the sun 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzzQuU2j05
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWUSP24avO
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2WKnS5tJy
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4svJdLcrY
side of me. We were all pretty tired.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs6rQ8gX3t

The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkJZlt931q

While I was resting and 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFwnCIyEKG
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvtNXlKD0k
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM4DJsk4cd
look on my face.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUumY8vcEq

"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjZfBRsP7O

"Go? Go where?" I asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuOnNDwNRo

Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgIa62UKDj

"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv6E8iTwyY

"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPysC4ZjtV3

It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJeZBq7NQO

"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykBtCu8vT4

"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoohYfFlQ6F

"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7odfELbW0c

"I want to follow too," said Daniel.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Ann9xgYw

"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6n0zYjg5V

I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZIGdmQJYu

"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyLq9xacoG

"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ005J5aNwgN

"Ya, me too," said Mike.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtleW23b5g

"Why don't you want 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1Qq2tXW2O
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmofqOtsnf
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdQtJrHsXo
not to follow."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxNIvyp6KL

I wanted to protest and 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpn5YyIZ7r
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg9laJVsNV
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSVMYVuFmD
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oSJu1lLSv

"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LVgmyfJwO

Dang it!957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVNlaVAwj5

"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.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsENsWkgCLl

"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIfrdl2ws9

"Thanks, that's nice of 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxWZ5tW3Wv
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnc0WjCeuK
the others. "Have fun you, guys."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Uutzrs6E

Sam and Daesung left the957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgNcSvSp3e
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPfUDlXtg5
myself that the two also made a nice pair.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn8sbZvS45

"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCfYWZXT62

"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjCtByVSnG

"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyuZpvI3JY

Christine stood up from 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dmBhXipyb
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpQa98bzEx
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyXAeLh5vB

I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bABlataoh

"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2RPqF6uUC

"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MFxhRG8Fh

"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr9RMDgmkq

Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOwNUcn9Tw

I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpKJ0U0ayS

"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ULDOsr6MS

"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQFNPB7z7R

TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg9FfVRJAB

"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZV0UFI4oe

"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8dWWMPIHj

"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMINs0Pb7I4

"I know," said Christine.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6gCj5NJH3

"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dSkfoBe4i

"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNNsql127S

"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihtNRC0gNs

"So that she can judge me? No way."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5IYFJDSrw

"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsDNnNUWQP

"Don't try to convince 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i40U71u1T
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaRgXisRaD
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH0obCEvIy
like she could hit me with a hammer.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oSIohXOop

"Okay, let's go," said TOP.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1dIsl4LZd

I got up from the floor 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAIiRg6OdL
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQMIyA8e52
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx8Qe975Eu
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguZxha09pw
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7RmhWCNZz

The cars soon left the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r8U8IdK6r
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWSTkuOCrl
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE4puSvUWM
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0mEMIGk7i

"Can you you please stop957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rZS2NQ1tJ
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUZ0UEHSfO
the teddy and lose it in the car."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cvMx7v7D5

"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJqGlg7Q6Z

"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoHu9eronH

I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrePhBugMy8

"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhcRqIpfao

"I just want to get this over with."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS4RY69Gmg

We were soon packed 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTNlZLnY3n
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzANr90g9Ao
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd48wYipWfH
turned to look at her.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6BVzv4hqY

"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxJPjD7Dqq

"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwXwxJkF8f

Seungri also turned to 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHAmRoNgBR
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO7ZCPTRIu
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBlCgfeJQi
chest and I wished Sam was here too.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZqENVs3ao

I soon got out of the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7guuiWrgt
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMLbgyuFcJ
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE7JbMaKHs
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGWAfrInpz

Before I could find my 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoKVuTeDzp
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugeitUab3a
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s0jELGj9R
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8VgZ6AyAV

I quickly went in the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw4HPAbEOX
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthhbBHTawl
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIyAgf9cyE
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4BrqlBPnN

I slowly approached the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdTwgLDO85
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX7rsa33Mk
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKb17Sj5bF
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAUYeDddqo
hesitate to end my life right here.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwweBRgThjx

"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlTratjcqC

"I was practising today," I answered.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr2QVMFbJK

"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoTVjnBkhr

"Thanks," I frowned at 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbsLYx9keC
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TUHWH7q7C
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKENWEb9CH

Jehan smirked. "Certainly."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXVxDjinmo

I quickly reached out 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6dnPJ1mAL
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXyIH0Fxuf
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgKNhRIuti

"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX6bwOhdB5

"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFbxo8AFyx

"What now?" I complained.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvuzQJo6kS

"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJT7QQOHpe

"What do you think? That957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYQ4Dn2BL2
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVT1fkf2RI
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtS2WKkcH4
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGm9wJ1Wbn
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg01XQ59kqq

Jehan raised an eyebrow 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqmZulikeQ
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIzpIpMWWw
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBdcD5Aato
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGLoMaO0Fk

"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QwDQFA7Pj

"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzafluXm2y

I went back to looking 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEuE1l6o5g
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0qbm1B17T
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ga5q7vnk
surprise me that he carried that thing around.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmQaIvtPZB

Jehan slowly laid the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB0boPR49E
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sLazZAEwj
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8VDrebwfn
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDvEKhZTfx
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRsNNAC86T
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aPoORAqT7
the teddy bear.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5UrjzNKkp

Wait. I frowned. This 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGeiRuW4BT
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNaIHwgzZ7
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeiTLhVAYg
diamonds!957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitGs4buYPr

I stared horrified at 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpRw6xUJ51
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocJ99Bi1EW
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwooPv26vt
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3EEA3M9nt

I looked up at Jehan and957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4MH8x1NhS
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOBxMhUika
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi6dgpix8j
that, he was going to end up traumatised.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FkX7tN4TR

"Je-Jehan," I said 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspblFmYINl
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV9vzAVFDp
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5nbFHrLRz
there."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZLK22HXcx

Jean neither moved nor 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YvFMzuvea
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoLlqHvJVI
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCCj8BYOPu

But how could this be? 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRnDyvNY2j
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZbszCwWnb
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ22sqtdqY
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdWhX4vf8U

"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTG8KsZSqV

"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1vEbhAVsy

He banged his fists on 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiRjWZfDZb
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dhiyKAQ9w
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDAC7C78yJ
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0VU3AHv63

"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon1WvjgmNA

"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF50mBbTqL

"I don't know. I don't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjTsX4eUg7
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BNw885tbV
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vWGj2yKPZ

"How did the diamonds go missing?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjSINOHKrT

"How am I supposed to 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsynaZTCUoz
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyhegk2U5V
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAXXNruLT8

"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz3CXuEWSn

"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBfsKAr5ve

Jehan rubbed his 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLBWJ9oAVA
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FdgIuL1Ic
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdOgUZQj7A

"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQI2q6J7Ky

"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r0LlyPqiw

"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCQCoffIeU

"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfrCpltKJq

"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXfwED1264

"I don't know."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijf3a2yp3W

Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUeObcJPHN

"Ummm," I looked down 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyrIfFLgOf
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H9ZPUj5Po
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoQDR62pFl

"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsPISq0YSV

"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.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QmgAbPS0M

"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XsiE9aCzg

"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtypQV9ucbJ

"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpPI5PFzZ8
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYOchZYalF
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvb6GKYqkQ

"I don't think so. Lee 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0dObZ5cxr
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiRXNH4r9U
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnStINHR55

"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhbqX55iym

"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."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTVKpBOgwi

"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRAUmmMcty

"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNpVTTxaKS

After I said that, Jehan957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKzhvj1F3f
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJtO7VP4uY
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ43fqpsiN
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBVb6mBNlk
look on his face.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z0dzsAZ8E

"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe1enTesde

"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWymD6xHjf

"I remember one of my 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s6ycjN3mU
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBqWoqHS3G
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6KvR8Yvwp

"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UMTIBLXYY

"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!"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFhb1gHYCn

"Huh? I can't start 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVjBFuajiR
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuXD8IZJD5
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6PtEdfZJH
that the bear is missing."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkES5b4jIkX

"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dyNlbg95L

"What do you mean?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX0PS8fm21

"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv90PHUaRHg

"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1hr6llRCZ

"Now that, makes no 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx0L1g9fOR
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpVpLik3nw
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXf0pBSniL

"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRQsl25s7N

"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6vpIlFeL3

"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CxdseaHqn

"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRINu4LUqQG

I completely forgot that957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2xwBduEPh
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnk8S3ChLK
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqr2qE5QHo
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjVYhpd0jX

"Okay. I'll see what I can do."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodMLMgwgPv

Jehan gave me a smile. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG4w3WReVN
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE1CxAipcq
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7InEWYNQQ

I nodded my head and 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvFFLGEdTf
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5DLE0lbrD
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90hwOL9hKR

"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPARQY78Q2

I sat there as I buried 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu5ebDLQkK
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgAoPzlWaQ
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWH39bSEfu
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDoKI0rA0C
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnl7W4xUow
drama that might just ruin my life?957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbWNjsiUZ6

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.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO57upoDAuk

"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XeC6bf0mA

I could hear footsteps 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqAJzC3mYt
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMac3QD1s0
when they saw the look on my face.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8NSJsYhRN

Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpFVMiA6uO

"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziUrXPd73W

"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj4rWzYjRM

"No," I answered. "He didn't."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciy5eQKKMs

"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVo00eKYvi

"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEdsIROBHC

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."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32inwFoSIJ

"And what about Lee?" 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo3vGjCa2x
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mFaxpLzvr
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagtJvJkzK0
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ9mx0Oh9z
to."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrOhyTEYK8

"This is bad," I said, 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3RAYBE21T
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvVGKg5oSC
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIjlDGe3Wd

"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHSCYrARDd

"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PD3qS6gIt

We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSyt2qyLax

"Sam?" I wondered for a 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy9HnnC5Ah
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbQnIaThCD
she have swapped it with the other one?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzNItUZZlv

"Okay, wait," said TOP. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pafiwdcXf
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd6cMlSTbJ
what's really going on in the first place?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlNhlfGXjX

"I doubt it," I said 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BdYZuOpgm
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DJTtPGwsV
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtp4SZa4py
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ934x5JgJnM

TOP and Seungri looked 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARgrM3N9tm
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU5sWi5Oy0
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7QlRJ8CHn
it away.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZjqxpVHYg

"I highly doubt it too,"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEmGjGcr0C
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD4lxFYEeq
she would have asked us about it."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn8MIpeKcg

"That's true," said 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGFuUePiro
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYVpBdxKL5
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjhDbYZ580

"And I checked out the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe8g1YIxIG
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoHOD9Jb02
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggw14ZV5l2

"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWdbuAoC3L

"No, I highly doubt it,"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ183BDPjf3D
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGrzmcIT3F
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83kc2jZNvF
said nothing about them entering a toy store."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WHxAejQgT

"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T05jex2P7

"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7GgNjqhDL

"Collins?" Mike asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W7smXWTjh

"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJyO4U4DIr

"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiz4XhNtaV

"But who knows? Maybe he957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmrTIlrq3K
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7l1cx7YJS
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2xljIMpzJ
times."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPNmDrHZyt

"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uISkzShcB

"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvm4xgtKVf

"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XNmIyOxnN

Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3AEF7Ysng

"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqxFDTnex1

"He was the one who went957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9h4J1LGRG
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2juyDq776
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYRnIGuUKL
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCBrMbFf23
elevator."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ126ul9cz9L

"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ397zfqbfcU

"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLGFzb3vpl

"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFCaCfq2Mb

"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gFRDh5pDk

"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDhi60EY0u

"You're right," I said 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqgaXYVOi9
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt3cqOJBTV
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1E7oPKgtQ

"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxyDdIkNMl

We all walked out of the957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu8gItk6Rb
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlsFXC8W1M
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ574SDhsFw9

While I was in the car 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8fX1tzKkR
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDPN6WO5gM
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWAU9cOXWQ
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcViZ75ec1N
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HZXLzGvfG
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJUIte061b

If it isn't him, then 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg1Zzv9xnI
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAgYpdCEwI
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPVj4JmjBX
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wv1t4d7hv
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFynwcxxwDq

What if I had the wrong 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoexDCJYZ6
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpwfuhnoYP
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknL2M5a5Is
place without any of us noticing in the first place?957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflMYvswYNB

I hope I could be able 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWK5NvBmFW
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinkq2vAgBw
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RRGPHhH9y
happen.
