Zoey's P.O.V700Please respect copyright.PENANAyCwvMPZ1sH
Waking up this Monday 700Please respect copyright.PENANAvL1ib3TbYC
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2CB1ASmFeK
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 700Please respect copyright.PENANAq66Ls1RhYS
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 700Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Khz908n3
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected700Please respect copyright.PENANANxhmzkYzug
myself to be.700Please respect copyright.PENANAOD0tlS8Fim
I couldn't stop 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2oKd1D46je
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much700Please respect copyright.PENANA1gElFxmeEG
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 700Please respect copyright.PENANARyhMBJAMPK
feel that something was wrong.700Please respect copyright.PENANAMllssgWfop
Could they have known 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmMMkEoUnxf
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 700Please respect copyright.PENANAjSjgVbB6Ww
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7X9sw08bpQ
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 700Please respect copyright.PENANApJim5yqeS1
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 700Please respect copyright.PENANARF8hY057OE
just had our usual conversation.700Please respect copyright.PENANAEyArl9m0sb
I brushed off all those 700Please respect copyright.PENANArLcnvEkf1e
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The700Please respect copyright.PENANAWSwy5TC4D5
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2lMT1XLkYL
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when700Please respect copyright.PENANAvwQhPR9nyn
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.700Please respect copyright.PENANA47OhrpoSEQ
But now that she wasn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANAy3ejwp1WKq
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 700Please respect copyright.PENANAxEeh3LC6UE
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYCVGUb91vk
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have700Please respect copyright.PENANAfbq5u2HXrZ
woken up early before the alarm rang.700Please respect copyright.PENANA0iMPR8gMWL
I sat up on my bed and 700Please respect copyright.PENANARfZBt5GiFY
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbDVAYWCosF
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 700Please respect copyright.PENANADpXz4Cn25L
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAMGS3P2rd9Y
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYaLHmjeecX
After seeing her with 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJL9ttmr41B
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I700Please respect copyright.PENANA389nRYrhHZ
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I700Please respect copyright.PENANAQG0TSFa7l6
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFEv1c1vov3
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFV1fmoH19c
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole700Please respect copyright.PENANAsmYTd4Coz0
day. That left me devastated.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYXCrugVNJU
I couldn't stop looking 700Please respect copyright.PENANAh5XHvNnFr0
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 700Please respect copyright.PENANA41YkvEgCWS
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 700Please respect copyright.PENANA19Oq2WUuCX
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwBaIkLhNJL
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They700Please respect copyright.PENANAJRqBmkJbB9
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 700Please respect copyright.PENANAdEdRbGF5qT
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.700Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rbg8dBgzJ
That sent me boiling to a700Please respect copyright.PENANA8KOEePul9V
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me700Please respect copyright.PENANA8nC8TADAep
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 700Please respect copyright.PENANAH627ysBd6p
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.700Please respect copyright.PENANAO0gu7Tctvl
Christine had told me to700Please respect copyright.PENANAwFewrUDTkS
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAtaB3E5xzQ6
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told700Please respect copyright.PENANAoQr8GREcVe
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 700Please respect copyright.PENANALTrbvjC48D
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest700Please respect copyright.PENANAv1m3ZaMub6
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 700Please respect copyright.PENANASF2eGz6Gsx
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.700Please respect copyright.PENANAd9rphVVgfy
And now, I had to face 700Please respect copyright.PENANAl1auPOpqoT
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 700Please respect copyright.PENANAyMjeuFyAMf
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music700Please respect copyright.PENANABAmV2cWQKj
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAsMg1LS0fM5
was still so upset.700Please respect copyright.PENANABOFi4fVmZA
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYOTNhSpFo0
After I was done, I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAC3WvhzzcRx
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAGtU6dEL6wN
others at the dining table for breakfast.700Please respect copyright.PENANAc833HUYNXq
I found them already 700Please respect copyright.PENANANQqDIDlDe6
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhsnkCs0SsD
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.700Please respect copyright.PENANAgUuG4Z6eFQ
I felt a little awkward 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqLvBLbGRzQ
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't700Please respect copyright.PENANAfHPHoIpw0r
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and700Please respect copyright.PENANAjVRihBV6y8
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 700Please respect copyright.PENANArDdku330l6
that also felt weird.700Please respect copyright.PENANAou3nbDYjzx
I know that she and I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAgdVU0M7EFX
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 700Please respect copyright.PENANAMqUcFVPJmK
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 700Please respect copyright.PENANAE4DW7dqJJH
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 700Please respect copyright.PENANALwBh6ZL0zt
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 700Please respect copyright.PENANAjd47NI2IDG
like something was wrong.700Please respect copyright.PENANAFVNX7ZzrMA
I poured myself a cup of700Please respect copyright.PENANAXK2FT8ljny
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 700Please respect copyright.PENANADDlyoIBhKe
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.700Please respect copyright.PENANAaJeBQhGCoe
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA2ENZDxb20p
My heart almost skipped a700Please respect copyright.PENANAJMCDO0srhJ
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know700Please respect copyright.PENANAvdTbiqjHlx
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way700Please respect copyright.PENANAK7NOaANd2s
too far. I was over here! Hello!700Please respect copyright.PENANA4kHqpbweTv
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."700Please respect copyright.PENANA5lnZObHDMA
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.700Please respect copyright.PENANAHhY9dHaKtN
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.700Please respect copyright.PENANA1vA7cy5Rip
"I have no doubt about it."700Please respect copyright.PENANAg4L2gm7McY
"But I don't see why you700Please respect copyright.PENANAo5fA7qFz0z
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 700Please respect copyright.PENANASvFpXCzges
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."700Please respect copyright.PENANAgEjFJeRCNf
"One thing about fans is700Please respect copyright.PENANAJv3DTz3wZs
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 700Please respect copyright.PENANAdZVworJoDp
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.700Please respect copyright.PENANAas457aVnLs
"I know," said Lee. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAl5fuauiuKd
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1EMKeoHxX2
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHjEn72ONFp
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."700Please respect copyright.PENANAqax5jl5YTO
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.700Please respect copyright.PENANAyD1Z7DJqrW
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."700Please respect copyright.PENANAokfCuRcmbZ
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.700Please respect copyright.PENANAAt6iCOyaW8
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."700Please respect copyright.PENANAt9jdiPyVQu
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.700Please respect copyright.PENANA9nYiI5UV9M
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.700Please respect copyright.PENANAyUgSwhgaQa
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.700Please respect copyright.PENANAnpJw8f5VA6
"You're just too quiet, that's all."700Please respect copyright.PENANAZxwTLr8RC7
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."700Please respect copyright.PENANA7dkDMbs6yl
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."700Please respect copyright.PENANASlMX3SjCHq
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.700Please respect copyright.PENANAXCJQR1bBFY
I stuck my tongue out at700Please respect copyright.PENANA5gya5lRXjq
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the700Please respect copyright.PENANAkiSuDXc7Tm
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQifFldvkuL
still wasn't looking in my direction.700Please respect copyright.PENANACoOdvUuhOi
Soon after breakfast, we700Please respect copyright.PENANA2656uWtCB4
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were700Please respect copyright.PENANAocB77rnATl
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 700Please respect copyright.PENANASutF2HV29C
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 700Please respect copyright.PENANAXl4MaiRa8s
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what700Please respect copyright.PENANAG8iIsi4QZl
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 700Please respect copyright.PENANAagqr0K6chX
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAIRnNT6doL9
she would.700Please respect copyright.PENANAiQvkWIInCv
We arrived at YG and we 700Please respect copyright.PENANAThJB8AJi1j
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 700Please respect copyright.PENANAyMiipP1Fzr
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with700Please respect copyright.PENANATVXmQMpUyW
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.700Please respect copyright.PENANACaxhpVgWYb
When everyone was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKcv6hos7sL
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when700Please respect copyright.PENANAGzDMiRHI7W
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 700Please respect copyright.PENANATqldmyc3gP
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAjYAL0Trm9x
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.700Please respect copyright.PENANADs2LKVoWPN
He not responding to me 700Please respect copyright.PENANA65KcvqtjUI
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He700Please respect copyright.PENANAOAOowUiYob
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted700Please respect copyright.PENANAwInZQitEcq
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJvm1fxGiFC
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZVTucerr0w
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just700Please respect copyright.PENANAHQD0LULAzS
looked away instead.700Please respect copyright.PENANALCTagup0iH
We went straight to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAIQdc37Vb1H
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAj1kKXMnNas
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeDQHveUbqO
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I700Please respect copyright.PENANArEYNrdRB5l
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhIfuipJ30o
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.700Please respect copyright.PENANAGOqKWdqj4g
During pratice, I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwSmS1oLzY9
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAgabeR4O8bV
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I700Please respect copyright.PENANAtTBFumvKJQ
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.700Please respect copyright.PENANACku1aeJgX7
G-Dragon wasn't the only700Please respect copyright.PENANAX9y952kGbG
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 700Please respect copyright.PENANA03gb0ETvsk
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 700Please respect copyright.PENANAubscLXTeum
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 700Please respect copyright.PENANA99ILXhHXa9
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What700Please respect copyright.PENANAj44LR0UkON
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?700Please respect copyright.PENANA69ZF2Ebdbv
As her best friend, I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbKoKqnwLll
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 700Please respect copyright.PENANAxt7IS5E1jR
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAUvfHjXyWLV
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 700Please respect copyright.PENANA608Tk1LtlY
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.700Please respect copyright.PENANAW9gHNzwEPw
She is also smart, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeO2wNXoNOu
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 700Please respect copyright.PENANAzhO8guqyC4
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKtGYEesS8S
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even700Please respect copyright.PENANAYCkTJQxTWw
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.700Please respect copyright.PENANA50yYxyNJQ5
Sam has a lot of good 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3s4pKu2tv
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her700Please respect copyright.PENANA0MPkF6qvJ7
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 700Please respect copyright.PENANAyLzaYfLduy
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANASSR5EPVC3s
want to hurt anyone around her.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzmWt6wg6jC
Realising this made me 700Please respect copyright.PENANALRnMeVSTMP
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 700Please respect copyright.PENANAASiEYq5R49
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwLtU7LV4gm
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbWfzapjMY4
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 700Please respect copyright.PENANAr40dA4dV10
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQmL8oZijXR
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAc2UnVEvh0n
realise it till now.700Please respect copyright.PENANAuhDdY24bXi
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.700Please respect copyright.PENANAJDPeet1vrT
"Zoey, you aren't 700Please respect copyright.PENANAz1hHM1vM0a
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 700Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZfOuSxnPg
second time you have made the same mistake."700Please respect copyright.PENANAmeZCLDAEXL
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."700Please respect copyright.PENANANGtnWJek10
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."700Please respect copyright.PENANAILiEP9HIpG
It was lunch the time we700Please respect copyright.PENANA7UPoMIOW1B
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 700Please respect copyright.PENANAMTlgRvZDtZ
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeUE8IDaC7W
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 700Please respect copyright.PENANAXPfOe8PZ6M
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKuGEQtcdNS
they were all laughing.700Please respect copyright.PENANANhhE4mlPDI
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdMLb36LbLM
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."700Please respect copyright.PENANAEDx0jI7U9Z
"Still not talking to Sam?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAeHEMYN1Xwm
"Nope."700Please respect copyright.PENANA8xjp76bLgU
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."700Please respect copyright.PENANAlHRbJK3xFQ
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAHWD5y8Onw5
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAjKbv4y0K0N
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.700Please respect copyright.PENANAH5r1anox3j
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."700Please respect copyright.PENANADeR4DxvkOc
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."700Please respect copyright.PENANA89CXSJftjz
"I know. But you aren't 700Please respect copyright.PENANADbastfcIop
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 700Please respect copyright.PENANANlWPwmksB8
You would be chit chatting like you always do."700Please respect copyright.PENANAhof5RzVoYB
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA918ZBkDvu3
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."700Please respect copyright.PENANApEvAm0sqGH
I frowned. "Why?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAwmnucyodOt
"Because you look miserable."700Please respect copyright.PENANAz1pbH5b1i5
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.700Please respect copyright.PENANA1MXvZViNnq
"Miserable!"700Please respect copyright.PENANACQR5yoAbaw
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."700Please respect copyright.PENANAPd82P0MYNJ
I thought for a moment 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZvbKLQUHxg
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAT7GAR2HJAh
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 700Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ0eOY84tg
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 700Please respect copyright.PENANA14AZngaMP1
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.700Please respect copyright.PENANAgdlI4ricMU
Seeing all this in front700Please respect copyright.PENANADTtQhVSpgW
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1ALA2DncB0
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeu3AhGmO7W
Until TOP came to talk to me.700Please respect copyright.PENANA1pb9nEYsxV
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."700Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ6d3qnkHl
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAp1V9VFNm2I
"I don't know," I said 700Please respect copyright.PENANAIRfZMiL6zg
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but700Please respect copyright.PENANA54JVLqqq4i
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."700Please respect copyright.PENANA6fvNoZx0MG
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.700Please respect copyright.PENANA5izGXli1gz
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.700Please respect copyright.PENANA1ycTsqOp6M
"Then why don't you talk to her?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAw9IhUSS5pA
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."700Please respect copyright.PENANAN6Oa7RlF5p
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."700Please respect copyright.PENANAfAsfeshnbi
"I know."700Please respect copyright.PENANAFIwsGyqET3
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA8YumX3oxzW
"I'll think about it."700Please respect copyright.PENANAOTg9dbg2u1
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAneXgvBwrgg
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.700Please respect copyright.PENANAt7zUG6dO0M
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.700Please respect copyright.PENANAydenlvSndG
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.700Please respect copyright.PENANAfoE3kQWXzo
The three of us went out700Please respect copyright.PENANANg80WIyaPM
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 700Please respect copyright.PENANARKl9nOL6FW
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYDx0B9BykC
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.700Please respect copyright.PENANAa2JOsUk5NF
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.700Please respect copyright.PENANAXXaIh3zl1W
"Chill, you just ordered700Please respect copyright.PENANA8bvLwc9OE4
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one700Please respect copyright.PENANAfSA0wLOTik
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.700Please respect copyright.PENANAnIu0wzPeGM
"But I'm so hungry."700Please respect copyright.PENANAM3xv7GLzZw
"Trust me, you aren't 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmxnqE0ckx7
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 700Please respect copyright.PENANARf3LHLKPJc
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPEnI3HgoOp
have."700Please respect copyright.PENANA0B4giLIHRv
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA51P7liQokc
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.700Please respect copyright.PENANAcYK5oBDDn1
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.700Please respect copyright.PENANA6tRbqJelLY
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."700Please respect copyright.PENANAGmKLVF3sRw
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYRGvX5yKkL
I didn't say anything as700Please respect copyright.PENANAgc8Vc4d5nB
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 700Please respect copyright.PENANAkpPaTmndZa
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAxIseKP4FxW
calling.700Please respect copyright.PENANA3PltGzYFR2
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.700Please respect copyright.PENANAPUoJHlHX1V
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.700Please respect copyright.PENANArTMqQ9JaUR
"Okay, well you better answer that call."700Please respect copyright.PENANASkl8kOvynj
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.700Please respect copyright.PENANAA7mwvH4a1r
"Hello," I answered.700Please respect copyright.PENANAnuGNoetbkM
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAEFkBloxOW6
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAHq1f4qpyBn
"We have to meet today, ASAP."700Please respect copyright.PENANAph3WlMxtUg
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."700Please respect copyright.PENANA1uzO4sEHL2
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."700Please respect copyright.PENANArmrtZmAXMR
I knew Jehan was going 700Please respect copyright.PENANABc9nvUTSk3
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2KnGZ3pj9r
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5vBlGRa6qg
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 700Please respect copyright.PENANAulAYjlwFDK
was upstairs in the dance studio.700Please respect copyright.PENANASAtNlwF1qd
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA9HmSxTQuqZ
"I'm coming to YG to get it."700Please respect copyright.PENANApH4MtEJUAr
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."700Please respect copyright.PENANACsGXKn2eDc
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."700Please respect copyright.PENANAByzQXJdRMx
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.700Please respect copyright.PENANASUCT1u1rIz
He cut the call and I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKwJkaSb9bp
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through700Please respect copyright.PENANADkMgCB371j
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here700Please respect copyright.PENANAuVKdeeg8FY
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see700Please respect copyright.PENANAvq3bHxII63
him they would start to ask questions.700Please respect copyright.PENANA0gfFIEwwOQ
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.700Please respect copyright.PENANATRHq4wYVFe
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAIAvqoXuvCK
"What?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAd9HlVpSROX
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANA3QcVI3kLsX
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAjJXSDNFfa6
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."700Please respect copyright.PENANA4gHrKN4E05
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."700Please respect copyright.PENANA6cSwvokP1Y
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."700Please respect copyright.PENANAn4w2IQzxsp
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."700Please respect copyright.PENANAtQCL0GN6jp
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAiAYAwp6WTK
Dang it! I was cornered 700Please respect copyright.PENANAaYJOgmb9un
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 700Please respect copyright.PENANAWBxUe91l8u
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 700Please respect copyright.PENANA9QIwRNw3op
light no matter how much you try to hide it.700Please respect copyright.PENANATSDRz1dwW6
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."700Please respect copyright.PENANATQKjATPuV9
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."700Please respect copyright.PENANA6abe6zoGb3
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdfyIhXv7Co
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.700Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ1Sukzirf
I told them everything 700Please respect copyright.PENANASku49VySFm
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't700Please respect copyright.PENANAv36H36272Z
said a word until I finished the whole story.700Please respect copyright.PENANAfiJyhdl5hB
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVyX2d2VhLy
"Just you two," I answered.700Please respect copyright.PENANAnS1JqvlEy0
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAjUePp1tIdg
"Surprising, right?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA3baDWpHJY7
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.700Please respect copyright.PENANACUooG3yZFx
"We should involve the police," said TOP.700Please respect copyright.PENANAKBlst5FAUU
"No! We can't!"700Please respect copyright.PENANAaHGx0QI2S1
"Why?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAqKxVJMrAEF
"You know word goes out 700Please respect copyright.PENANAaMpjBvC0tG
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and700Please respect copyright.PENANANI9cl28WnI
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."700Please respect copyright.PENANAiT7UkwC1x8
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANA7OyvirGlCw
"He assured me that this700Please respect copyright.PENANADbyjfKK3z5
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 700Please respect copyright.PENANAUhWGEtdUNQ
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."700Please respect copyright.PENANAmtDTmUhXr3
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.700Please respect copyright.PENANAGY4Rq79vxK
The three of us turned 700Please respect copyright.PENANAw7NId5r0sh
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7OhrqWAHDB
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?700Please respect copyright.PENANAPuAxDxZco5
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.700Please respect copyright.PENANAipIiWQX8NU
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.700Please respect copyright.PENANAWd5uxyyGv4
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.700Please respect copyright.PENANAPpKnBUsc2N
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAOAg3Wzx5mB
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."700Please respect copyright.PENANAZVRDUxDQh6
"Random stuff involving a700Please respect copyright.PENANAtZTJ8CQEKL
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJLsRgCtGFH
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHfb7cMRhYP
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 700Please respect copyright.PENANATZECyozAdW
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."700Please respect copyright.PENANABH22qF8z06
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?700Please respect copyright.PENANAojF6I81qNd
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."700Please respect copyright.PENANAPLxA9pHXAo
"Okay, I won't."700Please respect copyright.PENANAtvJfcLpunI
"Sit down."700Please respect copyright.PENANA4F0BMghi4z
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.700Please respect copyright.PENANA979PmOECJF
"I got myself into trouble," I started.700Please respect copyright.PENANAROl1kwUBMg
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"700Please respect copyright.PENANANSefHvYVNb
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."700Please respect copyright.PENANArKggDIvSPD
Christine's face soon 700Please respect copyright.PENANAS6ghJMNti6
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 700Please respect copyright.PENANAR9FR7hnOsY
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....700Please respect copyright.PENANAI6TN7LRlqq
"What!"700Please respect copyright.PENANA0mNTFvFhe1
TOP quickly covered up 700Please respect copyright.PENANAb6PLNUWpgd
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4bBmYjFbga
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 700Please respect copyright.PENANAk6L8Ag73by
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.700Please respect copyright.PENANAjgK5hUMsnA
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAD8IAgveRpH
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAsxq9TFqOzq
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.700Please respect copyright.PENANAeomq4EaJni
"Of course I'm mad!" 700Please respect copyright.PENANAoVNKZACRQA
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAo7ZTMmDHB0
but this by far is the worst one of them all."700Please respect copyright.PENANAVpLzJapzOV
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.700Please respect copyright.PENANAS0zYPRee66
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAxxxul2ADrC
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"700Please respect copyright.PENANARFP2NaNFlb
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAYREYWWWN2F
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.700Please respect copyright.PENANAEnXCldlzUb
"WHAT!"700Please respect copyright.PENANAvnIFuEZAgn
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.700Please respect copyright.PENANAZkwsttZayB
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAqC4iIhnxeK
"And the one I met at the café," I said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAURrw5e3WMX
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVIhzNRySXH
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.700Please respect copyright.PENANApQ0P4O03M0
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA2Apqvbxk7h
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.700Please respect copyright.PENANAkO2agv7040
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYl9z2IjlF5
"Ya," I said. "I planned700Please respect copyright.PENANAsEPvbYvrWG
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 700Please respect copyright.PENANA586tAoSkzp
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.700Please respect copyright.PENANAt8scUE0VUd
"So you're the one who 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqxRM49vtZf
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 700Please respect copyright.PENANATxrGAa4Mo5
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmKMpY3pWNI
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 700Please respect copyright.PENANAp68Nbp9Hta
out with Seungri."700Please respect copyright.PENANA9S2CVY665l
"I lied."700Please respect copyright.PENANAiMLkP874Za
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."700Please respect copyright.PENANA6sseZzyRec
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.700Please respect copyright.PENANAZ29iIQJ521
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAfcxAzTuIqR
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."700Please respect copyright.PENANAqLdAoN1FIt
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."700Please respect copyright.PENANAbb6HJnKioo
"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."700Please respect copyright.PENANAKHCglvZj3R
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAb7M6yTNBGU
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.700Please respect copyright.PENANABALO1vEjyN
"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."700Please respect copyright.PENANAOcoSIz6Mv1
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."700Please respect copyright.PENANAMKdMwwSy11
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.700Please respect copyright.PENANADEBQGpThci
"But where?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANA8ljHcV6jhK
"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.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYcaB3Rl5TR
"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.700Please respect copyright.PENANAvjmuMTWFpL
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzh7b9PQKUb
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.700Please respect copyright.PENANAjUQN5BGZEw
I took my phone out and 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4TLVeyOGbK
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in700Please respect copyright.PENANAE7PO3NjyUw
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.700Please respect copyright.PENANAEYsfJoGMJk
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.700Please respect copyright.PENANApKJFea1bgL
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.700Please respect copyright.PENANAUrGD7K4Z73
Seungri had ordered ten 700Please respect copyright.PENANAiyjqIcOrnD
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 700Please respect copyright.PENANA8iwHnGQWtt
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 700Please respect copyright.PENANA63Wn0CX6qY
favourite.700Please respect copyright.PENANAfHDw8aIG2s
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.700Please respect copyright.PENANAvIxE7sWqiX
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.700Please respect copyright.PENANA2jbJmqDExS
"I'll be ready for 700Please respect copyright.PENANANkbHEvwNTE
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything700Please respect copyright.PENANAlraQgHvADi
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."700Please respect copyright.PENANAC5cGLO1jEa
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."700Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wm5gfhgSt
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.700Please respect copyright.PENANA3aBEdADZPz
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."700Please respect copyright.PENANAJisHGb6JZ9
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmXTbOdRAfO
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."700Please respect copyright.PENANAPgKGtVfhfg
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."700Please respect copyright.PENANAPJPZQd0ORU
We found ourselves back 700Please respect copyright.PENANAH7NNyn0SBD
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 700Please respect copyright.PENANAL5IG3TAcbP
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 700Please respect copyright.PENANA3fgjaKPbkR
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmbNQCawfQv
paranoid?700Please respect copyright.PENANAQVnVr36zqC
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.700Please respect copyright.PENANAuSjixpAArh
"What?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAsq0vugbr92
"You were frowning," Christine answered.700Please respect copyright.PENANA3GnKQVv3SD
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."700Please respect copyright.PENANAVpmkYCUcxt
"Says the person who 700Please respect copyright.PENANApTL8gLT8RK
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 700Please respect copyright.PENANAlPZHoh1Acb
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 700Please respect copyright.PENANAxJwrt8lTPn
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.700Please respect copyright.PENANA0nDD4xRzhH
Soon after lunch, we 700Please respect copyright.PENANAxMH0wxkVor
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHTl0hl6KUb
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time700Please respect copyright.PENANAK6k66m834b
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 700Please respect copyright.PENANAz1vlSn5ypT
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know700Please respect copyright.PENANAlvtSiD3Uja
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the700Please respect copyright.PENANAYw5nUIYASy
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.700Please respect copyright.PENANAJwFr8xbDzk
At some point in the 700Please respect copyright.PENANATWNGy51SXu
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 700Please respect copyright.PENANARiYL7NWzcI
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwL8GOUY095
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZVuCMeysT
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 700Please respect copyright.PENANAs2MXyevXrf
back to practising until we could pratice no more.700Please respect copyright.PENANA8miWPZUix5
It was five and the sun 700Please respect copyright.PENANANakwAQgfjZ
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I700Please respect copyright.PENANA3KTZxpaPYw
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANAS8nlztbuIH
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 700Please respect copyright.PENANAWDufGmku4W
side of me. We were all pretty tired.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzW3wa2DbG9
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.700Please respect copyright.PENANAiFocOmljxD
While I was resting and 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwNAi30vKU5
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 700Please respect copyright.PENANAodfgBD7ZEu
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 700Please respect copyright.PENANAaiA1DhnImD
look on my face.700Please respect copyright.PENANALGuqcaHZYx
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAq1gp3UTng8
"Go? Go where?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAcUMTCMCmtR
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdXE9Uw8DuE
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAphKafljfjQ
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."700Please respect copyright.PENANA8oF2SST97i
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.700Please respect copyright.PENANANdtb4Xwpnn
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."700Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0pFKERPQb
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdSSgQ0RkC4
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."700Please respect copyright.PENANApFri6SydM9
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzvys7vUUeB
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYTlF9dlHV3
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.700Please respect copyright.PENANAkXh23aIgft
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."700Please respect copyright.PENANA0LjVoJisyq
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."700Please respect copyright.PENANAuxpMC5RbSg
"Ya, me too," said Mike.700Please respect copyright.PENANAhOUWSqaUW6
"Why don't you want 700Please respect copyright.PENANAGcSsFClWml
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2OBRdP76DE
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 700Please respect copyright.PENANADGUUd0BFZx
not to follow."700Please respect copyright.PENANAJlIc00csxN
I wanted to protest and 700Please respect copyright.PENANAyH7yvMKVGJ
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 700Please respect copyright.PENANAiQP9exGmwx
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 700Please respect copyright.PENANAOhgvk6dcRB
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.700Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ4lTYoEnw
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.700Please respect copyright.PENANALHZiNHg5Jg
Dang it!700Please respect copyright.PENANAubLEheYnGf
"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.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmSM8ZmI3Bj
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.700Please respect copyright.PENANAq3gRDpXacQ
"Thanks, that's nice of 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhIHWKL7NeO
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 700Please respect copyright.PENANAVpO9V9uK3T
the others. "Have fun you, guys."700Please respect copyright.PENANAvr2RwPMpgk
Sam and Daesung left the700Please respect copyright.PENANAJvGrsTa65x
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 700Please respect copyright.PENANACnnacGBrAD
myself that the two also made a nice pair.700Please respect copyright.PENANAxYlJPMJcnj
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAsqpAk3KfIQ
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."700Please respect copyright.PENANA4KmFoLJGjM
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.700Please respect copyright.PENANARJrdJ0DK8t
Christine stood up from 700Please respect copyright.PENANAkUAwb08SSs
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmKT6vh2jrc
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."700Please respect copyright.PENANArDFf3kPDmG
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAIwEMwkPNJB
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."700Please respect copyright.PENANA1RzIDD7ptV
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."700Please respect copyright.PENANANDv8gpuTBY
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.700Please respect copyright.PENANA7LAOfJp2sh
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAhVIYlVFEzI
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.700Please respect copyright.PENANAyeaXahn7Ar
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAu03YFFuX02
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."700Please respect copyright.PENANAc1DGbp0mUm
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.700Please respect copyright.PENANAq1x1DZ74Ct
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVijnVyWqOT
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.700Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1SkSkaC90
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmQih4kg9OB
"I know," said Christine.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYVoGy5psJI
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAxIvVfjk17H
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."700Please respect copyright.PENANAU92iNY4kmR
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.700Please respect copyright.PENANADjdi2MydnW
"So that she can judge me? No way."700Please respect copyright.PENANA4DzRB6CbHA
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."700Please respect copyright.PENANAzbfJlxf7qh
"Don't try to convince 700Please respect copyright.PENANA6d9P3K7JQ7
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 700Please respect copyright.PENANALtSaM80Hka
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me700Please respect copyright.PENANAv3LKrf2mjz
like she could hit me with a hammer.700Please respect copyright.PENANA0CQRUnvvUG
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.700Please respect copyright.PENANA5L8eyVJ8hr
I got up from the floor 700Please respect copyright.PENANAOpeD6ZUDSB
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPGmtpZADtw
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 700Please respect copyright.PENANAiudDuHdLjt
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 700Please respect copyright.PENANAnlKHhxRx3S
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.700Please respect copyright.PENANAnfFedl67Ir
The cars soon left the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAb23yUPSZHA
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 700Please respect copyright.PENANATzmHwwXOtx
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 700Please respect copyright.PENANAI9SmHLjAeL
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.700Please respect copyright.PENANAi80BIJhYNd
"Can you you please stop700Please respect copyright.PENANA3SGvasZLWw
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 700Please respect copyright.PENANADhzIfZ8Yj1
the teddy and lose it in the car."700Please respect copyright.PENANAWYv0yY2Rf8
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.700Please respect copyright.PENANAjZuw2Uiw6t
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."700Please respect copyright.PENANA1U07Dywoyp
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."700Please respect copyright.PENANA4FJSYvk1GY
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.700Please respect copyright.PENANAo2b7ux2Uxd
"I just want to get this over with."700Please respect copyright.PENANApXKDWvU7ph
We were soon packed 700Please respect copyright.PENANA8da5ymkoF8
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeessHxuWOI
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 700Please respect copyright.PENANA176UtnSE7A
turned to look at her.700Please respect copyright.PENANAriuha3jWoo
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."700Please respect copyright.PENANAJLhCTqUn6i
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."700Please respect copyright.PENANAOt4P6F5QqC
Seungri also turned to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAz1vfit9RdO
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 700Please respect copyright.PENANAR7LvQu459d
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 700Please respect copyright.PENANAphcMGUXfzU
chest and I wished Sam was here too.700Please respect copyright.PENANAaOpv0DJer1
I soon got out of the 700Please respect copyright.PENANATFDOow3URM
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2QOLyJv6si
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I700Please respect copyright.PENANABynI2mZ8FF
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.700Please respect copyright.PENANABX5SabI1A8
Before I could find my 700Please respect copyright.PENANAYvdxhII9TC
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 700Please respect copyright.PENANAzhXqxt49rY
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmLb0VK7YSI
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.700Please respect copyright.PENANAKV2ercUl91
I quickly went in the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAE7TmvngTLu
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 700Please respect copyright.PENANA3qBgd1FkIh
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1qDh3cQnvS
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.700Please respect copyright.PENANAtIgRszygkS
I slowly approached the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAz3pojBKJty
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAglqCMgG6D3
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 700Please respect copyright.PENANA9M9qrMyeGb
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4lGZ1UpWKD
hesitate to end my life right here.700Please respect copyright.PENANAcswdydjYht
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."700Please respect copyright.PENANAKJQJ7xoo7o
"I was practising today," I answered.700Please respect copyright.PENANABCFP0R9YUw
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."700Please respect copyright.PENANAHNA9etjk7D
"Thanks," I frowned at 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbThLOnpwBT
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 700Please respect copyright.PENANASBo1h8AAEp
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."700Please respect copyright.PENANAdXJUghf2yX
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."700Please respect copyright.PENANAGgIWzE4xMI
I quickly reached out 700Please respect copyright.PENANAXSQA3rddCr
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKydxkjVwia
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.700Please respect copyright.PENANAtRC2NLbA6h
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"700Please respect copyright.PENANALIEPwNyL55
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.700Please respect copyright.PENANAqs3YclJFOB
"What now?" I complained.700Please respect copyright.PENANAlNfAv69e39
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.700Please respect copyright.PENANACe0Kw9XBC3
"What do you think? That700Please respect copyright.PENANAi5ncrtM823
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4dkGqcMvg7
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 700Please respect copyright.PENANANAqgPtxzKm
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQZuSeMgIHP
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."700Please respect copyright.PENANAdSC0TIIAAO
Jehan raised an eyebrow 700Please respect copyright.PENANArXHJOfIpYM
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going700Please respect copyright.PENANAQF9c1N79bm
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a700Please respect copyright.PENANAQw3eBnbhj0
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."700Please respect copyright.PENANAuLUgnBCRqK
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."700Please respect copyright.PENANAsWAtPiiTJO
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.700Please respect copyright.PENANAyrarZEpks3
I went back to looking 700Please respect copyright.PENANADaVPAa9noR
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into700Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z9Nbx9VZc
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPYshgHLkAi
surprise me that he carried that thing around.700Please respect copyright.PENANA0uHmm4UoAy
Jehan slowly laid the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAv6K5cwMTbT
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAk5St4YQOIy
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 700Please respect copyright.PENANAMkAYq2kSk1
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhlDuTMJ9So
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 700Please respect copyright.PENANAycbzNUmI3N
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of700Please respect copyright.PENANAbK8MaDeRI7
the teddy bear.700Please respect copyright.PENANAN4sHJBNkoO
Wait. I frowned. This 700Please respect copyright.PENANAz6NPy5FKdg
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5uQkiCm7Yt
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqNr1FVj7Hh
diamonds!700Please respect copyright.PENANAoHqjcV4fMX
I stared horrified at 700Please respect copyright.PENANArjZcrPUeAn
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 700Please respect copyright.PENANA47akqgZ2Bj
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 700Please respect copyright.PENANAkJvneLCIec
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.700Please respect copyright.PENANA9B0KoJpRXo
I looked up at Jehan and700Please respect copyright.PENANAHOc1B82YFM
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANAsW1wb6phdc
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 700Please respect copyright.PENANAygdT985oS7
that, he was going to end up traumatised.700Please respect copyright.PENANAECJkebx1zd
"Je-Jehan," I said 700Please respect copyright.PENANA22YU96ZhVG
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAjEAqsV0EE2
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in700Please respect copyright.PENANADW7gmsNRh9
there."700Please respect copyright.PENANAm5wjwyQt9f
Jean neither moved nor 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeoYe1PXY75
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPF0JZKeefQ
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.700Please respect copyright.PENANAUXCZ4oEHva
But how could this be? 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJZKXGL9L9O
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 700Please respect copyright.PENANA9AMnTGxDAh
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4wlCk3hpNx
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.700Please respect copyright.PENANAJXRep3ceH3
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.700Please respect copyright.PENANAHvPAOtF5Fp
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.700Please respect copyright.PENANAH3sTcjKlYc
He banged his fists on 700Please respect copyright.PENANAjBt8gqLOj9
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 700Please respect copyright.PENANASnp9KAlLSf
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at700Please respect copyright.PENANArUtdC2uuWP
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.700Please respect copyright.PENANA7teUAbeRXe
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."700Please respect copyright.PENANAQYc6Yms5XE
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.700Please respect copyright.PENANA9Yy3ZCthWJ
"I don't know. I don't 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHcmaey53mT
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.700Please respect copyright.PENANANH3h47L6QL
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."700Please respect copyright.PENANAI2ZMLW65gu
"How did the diamonds go missing?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAJd7mypswRM
"How am I supposed to 700Please respect copyright.PENANA0dNzDr3B0l
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without700Please respect copyright.PENANAYdfDGUFImX
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."700Please respect copyright.PENANAYgYrgk2xGj
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."700Please respect copyright.PENANAvDNLAlsuhs
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."700Please respect copyright.PENANA80i4f7mLuW
Jehan rubbed his 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmv81U2XiAa
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 700Please respect copyright.PENANAW2f607SZ9p
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.700Please respect copyright.PENANAimFyLGC7ww
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."700Please respect copyright.PENANAUhgSbPMpdQ
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."700Please respect copyright.PENANA4kt6pq7spW
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAElRlPNkKAZ
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."700Please respect copyright.PENANAkKQbkRIt0x
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAnTA9lhMF2X
"I don't know."700Please respect copyright.PENANABLeYp2ePSk
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAdLWL2TJVWQ
"Ummm," I looked down 700Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ4L48Lw4o
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 700Please respect copyright.PENANApQB4Y7p3yr
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."700Please respect copyright.PENANA7CmkZGSiQm
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA43u39fBBdR
"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.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmAbSrKdyOP
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.700Please respect copyright.PENANAr5MyfEfGLq
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."700Please respect copyright.PENANAxRf11hwRM4
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 700Please respect copyright.PENANAn41pIIa5YS
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 700Please respect copyright.PENANAvRnh7EHedc
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA16mF8j1iUb
"I don't think so. Lee 700Please respect copyright.PENANAWUOGJyYHuQ
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,700Please respect copyright.PENANAqV0zMbfECN
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."700Please respect copyright.PENANADUtFJ3xyHK
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vq8tsxKUD
"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."700Please respect copyright.PENANAnV0Smb5ZNA
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAE9cReksS6B
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."700Please respect copyright.PENANAzezT7RKan3
After I said that, Jehan700Please respect copyright.PENANAUWwXJS18WG
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1bBipyUO4M
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the700Please respect copyright.PENANA99hVcr0JEj
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPvjwUjAYPo
look on his face.700Please respect copyright.PENANAz1YOgd97L4
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."700Please respect copyright.PENANAtrQVUwHHv8
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAGN7J0kOxBM
"I remember one of my 700Please respect copyright.PENANANvmjoAj5f4
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAoJrqo1w8pQ
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."700Please respect copyright.PENANAhLzs8BHJMU
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"700Please respect copyright.PENANA1135CQ10Cz
"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!"700Please respect copyright.PENANATQuMjpEZ2c
"Huh? I can't start 700Please respect copyright.PENANAybz50aa7dA
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking700Please respect copyright.PENANAqTggkpjAKv
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwTP2zq2r9h
that the bear is missing."700Please respect copyright.PENANAfcRhT2QhVQ
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."700Please respect copyright.PENANAKUWfrA3KaP
"What do you mean?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAhKWCk8Tmbj
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."700Please respect copyright.PENANACR5XjJ9i43
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."700Please respect copyright.PENANA6faWcBE0Rd
"Now that, makes no 700Please respect copyright.PENANAUTELAwAd4g
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that700Please respect copyright.PENANAVWIybteXxR
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."700Please respect copyright.PENANALalybGArGF
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"700Please respect copyright.PENANA9cFiYMDNfJ
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."700Please respect copyright.PENANA2ebN8QJjtk
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."700Please respect copyright.PENANA2nyhCWphZq
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAEQOI14rHQh
I completely forgot that700Please respect copyright.PENANA8j8zjctZBe
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 700Please respect copyright.PENANA04bhELADZB
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have700Please respect copyright.PENANAF8bcAsaUCB
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdEB9hhHa7V
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."700Please respect copyright.PENANA87BFvkeISd
Jehan gave me a smile. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAsS7Ks69OTH
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 700Please respect copyright.PENANALffUEnn5Uo
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA0710OkmFRA
I nodded my head and 700Please respect copyright.PENANAa3u4NA4pd7
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked700Please respect copyright.PENANAK4lhKnmQAM
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.700Please respect copyright.PENANAynySPqHVTJ
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.700Please respect copyright.PENANAMPCxhHwlGT
I sat there as I buried 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhRDEh0nnd4
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAoMoZ2u2mJ8
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the700Please respect copyright.PENANA4LJpDcm1zs
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 700Please respect copyright.PENANAi7gs6gpBSd
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2tunhoueVi
drama that might just ruin my life?700Please respect copyright.PENANA552kcMfG7r
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.700Please respect copyright.PENANA0hI7gQS2BF
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.700Please respect copyright.PENANAtJNxtZJWSe
I could hear footsteps 700Please respect copyright.PENANATbSNWVCamy
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 700Please respect copyright.PENANA0xGaitPRlB
when they saw the look on my face.700Please respect copyright.PENANAINawhUa1KT
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdjMtFxanXc
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"700Please respect copyright.PENANABQUNXj0OxQ
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAYgn6yEEl2m
"No," I answered. "He didn't."700Please respect copyright.PENANAaqrXY5os6o
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAUI02ZaQjvK
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."700Please respect copyright.PENANAr3IRAoV7cW
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."700Please respect copyright.PENANACnQVG6SZ1O
"And what about Lee?" 700Please respect copyright.PENANAzko0f1VNu9
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 700Please respect copyright.PENANALtMIlRzp9S
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 700Please respect copyright.PENANAvxJNfw78Sj
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9s6BDC10d
to."700Please respect copyright.PENANAGmzLvejdx4
"This is bad," I said, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAyl9lv4eFhc
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFb4zdoDYpl
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."700Please respect copyright.PENANAG9iN0X39zE
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."700Please respect copyright.PENANANfvU9xmvOg
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.700Please respect copyright.PENANAS6mtn9R3Ao
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.700Please respect copyright.PENANAQlyVRqoHEZ
"Sam?" I wondered for a 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7AzfqKeCw0
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5mYEaVCXd5
she have swapped it with the other one?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAWMq3ls65vq
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAyv35MftuGi
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAtEPwDfR0eX
what's really going on in the first place?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA4E0lydWbWz
"I doubt it," I said 700Please respect copyright.PENANA3cg8AHjbmj
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 700Please respect copyright.PENANAtOoUqs4qx4
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would700Please respect copyright.PENANAy54Y5gMWM1
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."700Please respect copyright.PENANAfAPjKoSyyJ
TOP and Seungri looked 700Please respect copyright.PENANACIhlA79S35
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 700Please respect copyright.PENANAK1aTUODEnt
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed700Please respect copyright.PENANAzqB8RRAreC
it away.700Please respect copyright.PENANA1OcobP4nMi
"I highly doubt it too,"700Please respect copyright.PENANAa7i15h70H1
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 700Please respect copyright.PENANANVeYvyW9Ib
she would have asked us about it."700Please respect copyright.PENANAxjEVTOLkCb
"That's true," said 700Please respect copyright.PENANADKowcTNzSs
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 700Please respect copyright.PENANAyFL4gEBXM6
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."700Please respect copyright.PENANAMmAVdPfLaP
"And I checked out the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAnHwQPdS4NG
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAXk2Ev0DdZA
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.700Please respect copyright.PENANAG9m1uQyTeF
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAOGu0hvOEYC
"No, I highly doubt it,"700Please respect copyright.PENANAmh5em6Pu65
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 700Please respect copyright.PENANAanmVEtoMcv
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They700Please respect copyright.PENANAfWdartrVyy
said nothing about them entering a toy store."700Please respect copyright.PENANAeuY92sHaj5
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.700Please respect copyright.PENANAsVqUMsO2Ol
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAmGuPs9cnnp
"Collins?" Mike asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAcvI6Ls7dn6
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA4ojAsdEXL3
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."700Please respect copyright.PENANAiwfdvsombg
"But who knows? Maybe he700Please respect copyright.PENANAm2UR5Qs59z
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqoVB1hKO3F
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 700Please respect copyright.PENANAjiuhUFsGU6
times."700Please respect copyright.PENANAjTwO5z8D2A
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.700Please respect copyright.PENANAV8sXu8ZXag
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."700Please respect copyright.PENANAECQvbfDB0M
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA6QLpazHOZE
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."700Please respect copyright.PENANAz2mFJZXSug
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVnSaKORjfu
"He was the one who went700Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7OxTVpTLG
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAxJNNn93o7U
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 700Please respect copyright.PENANAd5sbAVoMQ7
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAgNGRMVEmIi
elevator."700Please respect copyright.PENANAaZiE1lQXa9
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.700Please respect copyright.PENANAQYlKSgBFJT
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."700Please respect copyright.PENANAQm1HadxegE
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.700Please respect copyright.PENANAnobcXrZ5Co
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."700Please respect copyright.PENANALVJYNjLwvq
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."700Please respect copyright.PENANAtsIIZTCuSw
"You're right," I said 700Please respect copyright.PENANAyCZa11Vmg7
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 700Please respect copyright.PENANAN48dQ97Rp5
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."700Please respect copyright.PENANADS2eYoOZA2
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.700Please respect copyright.PENANAlpSfh3Gjbw
We all walked out of the700Please respect copyright.PENANAF2kVZlEFCP
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqZFwZAeCch
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.700Please respect copyright.PENANAUrzV77Bh6Y
While I was in the car 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFPcMeZ1IeP
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so700Please respect copyright.PENANAE2mozlDlzO
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins700Please respect copyright.PENANAICtttKhi9Q
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqKA56fDoS2
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 700Please respect copyright.PENANAfgqvuyrgRN
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.700Please respect copyright.PENANAXmkWZAZ3k1
If it isn't him, then 700Please respect copyright.PENANAYemLZLp2AX
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 700Please respect copyright.PENANAsTGGP17NPu
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANAjQNug6Bbb5
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her700Please respect copyright.PENANAHTitKpTy78
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.700Please respect copyright.PENANAGrOFitT64F
What if I had the wrong 700Please respect copyright.PENANAe48OYAe1tK
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 700Please respect copyright.PENANADf9bcLtpZk
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5xLTpqmvNB
place without any of us noticing in the first place?700Please respect copyright.PENANA4fOPpA0pDf
I hope I could be able 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFIb6jrbsQR
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 700Please respect copyright.PENANA0hvXc6Qo7h
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that700Please respect copyright.PENANA1rglXnhtTc
happen.
