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

Zoey's P.O.V864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ3ddFshgA

Waking up this Monday 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIkOs1EmGY
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3gXfU2I5a
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9FRt8IzMA
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Z3mSXeya
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA8abNmhJj
myself to be.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvvYS4S71y

I couldn't stop 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtvzmRSmeJ
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ7XfW2Pvi
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvrofC4arh
feel that something was wrong.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvYRULDO6P

Could they have known 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlspmG3Ny5b
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfowS0bfteg
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAG5Jb7Szf
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7myi3yVBA
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nW10ST0Pq
just had our usual conversation.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nyB0FQ0RW

I brushed off all those 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ZLdQeZ3O
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aI1jURCfj
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY5JZg9bBO
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKND8L9W7W
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc5203POQ1

But now that she wasn't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDhZzGyjvU
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOKFEZODSM
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ9K1wkg9S
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gM2js9ssd
woken up early before the alarm rang.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPajQZLEA8

I sat up on my bed and 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDal3i4T7A8
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDZ6iyBkP4
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMZdRajaHd
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmmmQEJBoj
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbiRwbSEgs

After seeing her with 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZucucr0IO
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5QUHpVwoU
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDRvJ5748s
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFLyWKPOKC
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyGpKWo1fA
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRODyt5N4h
day. That left me devastated.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpMBJUgl24

I couldn't stop looking 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPMBnAuTIV
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPamOyO1aA
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwFE1en1kJ
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtgtAL63aa
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4MQzzxGDo
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmskhUNOxn
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eYsUUvYIj

That sent me boiling to a864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hwqJKi780
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GoLDSGWh6
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNOKLaaUMt
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPCNS236B1

Christine had told me to864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ4H0GQZH6
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rkBIiLdcs
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58od9ddln8
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9A1yggZNJ
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpF8wPUXke
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZrwxSLPzf
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cLGLWshbn

And now, I had to face 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4kKXemsR8
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfLztrt4LV
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ1KtunONr
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICVYwLXzmO
was still so upset.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCJ5Cgg7qI

I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuRnhtF1RN

After I was done, I 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkztaVmAGfy
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01DRabntRc
others at the dining table for breakfast.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDa5xdDH8n

I found them already 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBbKLUbXmw
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWzQsQI99O
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemOwv9Dq3n

I felt a little awkward 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdpwsLDg3P
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VpHbEFwdk
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4FwBGKz8P
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf3tgkj75I
that also felt weird.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQEOAHsaCE

I know that she and I 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuT6cq8iau
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOEbANOFiz
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7DwOaakP7
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUrka4mdxW
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4hfyOrvLF
like something was wrong.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslud9N1UtU

I poured myself a cup of864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ6ulyB5nK
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSspzWF4Pr
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOsLULBPYA

"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8im5La04UW

My heart almost skipped a864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68aE3wFBZw
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9o4tgYE92
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQlPDT3Vif
too far. I was over here! Hello!864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL21dbNHTy

"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCxPvetLw3

"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGsh0U7y5p

"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHN5DHqnXM

"I have no doubt about it."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb5GkgvOUb

"But I don't see why you864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1RIkQ8F5C
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPi7wkLrj7
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzXpx1CrYW

"One thing about fans is864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DtJ3xOuQo
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoSn13rQVZ
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MfArq3TRH

"I know," said Lee. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Cj5G5QBY
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FowN5jj6T
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzCNBhOVrR
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq0kdHod97

"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ANmZYNHw6

"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRveAEgwRZU

"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3A284o6AB

"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6fkBdUpwU

"Aye, aye," said Daniel.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnFLt2YPsM

"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwP0gjaQoK

"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvZOcLYbYv

"You're just too quiet, that's all."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVJ6pkqzJt

"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDHUNud66J

I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXOVjge2Ig

"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVQWVeY45j

I stuck my tongue out at864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq45sTLQCr
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM2WHxEHNR
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SUC4WU87n
still wasn't looking in my direction.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhc8PZxufa

Soon after breakfast, we864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuQI8N9Otz
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiUUi6GY6H
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmwfUre0cD
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8B1SFyWSN
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVxw86XrZ6
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVTB1Br9WR
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeUr7YZ3rS
she would.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLenXDI5Bhn

We arrived at YG and we 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM6t4o7KiB
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQv674cnWA
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsYAuEtVws
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRRaDULBKH

When everyone was 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY8Yck0Sq5
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ZuZ4qwpg
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0CYEP7adu
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bxLhXMvIj
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R1nJdBaog

He not responding to me 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9dgxfY5DC
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA4b6UZigo
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWnwfTWuD2
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ32DV6hGe5
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yDkdwOcx6
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3XtSN9rSB
looked away instead.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGPr57h8Vy

We went straight to 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzFgMXfIBf
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJQs27L2ek
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozHwz49IDL
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWzcnocKUS
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtVaEon192
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubkVbD064t

During pratice, I 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl5bzeE4NO
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RPQR0s9w8
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqygieYx8y
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpq12kGUNK

G-Dragon wasn't the only864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV6JE0Ek58
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKrUglGIyy
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8b4DNj3Di
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgf9PGt6Xv
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGbZsMuQ7B
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9VxpS25kw

As her best friend, I 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaw42VKdDM
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuTx3Ai3R7
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5250zurYyb
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPlbnJUaDY
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkiD2VnO3E

She is also smart, 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13nPuOjrQM
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYtHr8MDhz
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPgPfnS9sV
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjdG37Rf5B
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1t7x9Bbr6

Sam has a lot of good 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcPrBnVktr
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkgRWzD49O
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPKYMI39UA
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwcnpIyJ6H
want to hurt anyone around her.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGl2gwq2w8

Realising this made me 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXppZnjYMt8
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDLYYl63Ij
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZKuaHM6ra
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb85OFteTj
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZjlrBg0Fc
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZM6OWZ85J
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBm7tYgJj6
realise it till now.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM8Ph1xNXO

"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXREHrOz5ne

"Zoey, you aren't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT12bFiw3Dx
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznl3NH4UBF
second time you have made the same mistake."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMwphmmYkR

"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdW5FGXhAQ

"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTDdtfyj6I

It was lunch the time we864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH80fPaVimq
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz5s8btnjg
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubFTaTYzh1
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7ynvYB1SH
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnv7rctFqt
they were all laughing.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sFHbeztVr

"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc5lSm42mE

"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgHXAVgFQo

"Still not talking to Sam?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNI3PzTn7g

"Nope."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLbUcJxpyZ

TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEuYEoq1qR

"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgI0a4156g

"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCUfBh3nrt

"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC1sLUKrqg

"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFdV2xAZpE

"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4SiYIbRQ9

"I know. But you aren't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtuFTZ0aTG
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSGTRSrSVG
You would be chit chatting like you always do."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8UeORxwmm

"What if I just want to be alone for today?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE2iUqPCMk

"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G9bkllIuU

I frowned. "Why?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpp9LCaD8Y

"Because you look miserable."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfFohi6isM

I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzy8DYHVZG

"Miserable!"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodZynzc6F3

"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKyrDtdJdo

I thought for a moment 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUV94jiHKn
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1YNA1qPqq
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf5wssmK0Z
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMF7jsfHVb
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc99xFwPV8F

Seeing all this in front864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMRsOmFTnX
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpliwel1oz
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ukB6eFsdj
Until TOP came to talk to me.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYpYSLDj5u

"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW0vbwHGNd

"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBzgICn6DZ

"I don't know," I said 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQQVAdBDbA
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm7AL4BSlo
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMP3HGnzBS

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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXBFlT4zJm

"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN5gaGldEH

"Then why don't you talk to her?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDYDCS5Dih

"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7beBMMe4H

"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ1EeXSepS

"I know."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvXfFjUNm9

"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwazGJ82fK

"I'll think about it."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWmMTMNOlc

"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD4w7b3aqD

Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNm1CbiNX2

"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrL1fpU9mA

"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDwD6k65BC

The three of us went out864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfSeQHHmY1
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz2z80gkg9
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWqJIxoqDn

As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXeqfDPQf4

"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIEObuPFRf

"Chill, you just ordered864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5w9OdnGG6
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5vMXtCRl9
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjX2btiVue

"But I'm so hungry."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HZkXqLTGF

"Trust me, you aren't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MErKNQAZV
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1arXxGR1og
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7mfUCvXUf
have."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIV0gmuSjH

"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E1KoG8LP2

"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUIAXLm8uH

"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLqIWFGUZa

"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPyGfvqvjp

"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiDe6LHDA1

I didn't say anything as864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2HIdu1t70
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wu6koPmDI
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt1Qy7pjwm
calling.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaZ8uYbYWw

"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpFAWFXazn

"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVkmj87JHB

"Okay, well you better answer that call."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fPj8pBVnu

I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsu56qv4Bq

"Hello," I answered.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL5iAefo0U

"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ50TBo2xTo

"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfni4Ehragr

"We have to meet today, ASAP."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoIKYPaQiI

"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA9toiHOgV

"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2g9VpvgGb

I knew Jehan was going 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccc3tS4dGI
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvUegoC5xP
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTaA7E23x5
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqU4tLix4W
was upstairs in the dance studio.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMTUELfGqn

"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BjlSbUA5P

"I'm coming to YG to get it."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VuRV1mc7X

"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqBvBR8H7c

"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TEzjCdcdc

"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6wRhlV1hy

He cut the call and I 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVCChy4Gnl
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHorZOmb4fZ
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gLdRaF3a4
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9gTFkWz7T
him they would start to ask questions.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI2Sgmrynp

"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmkQ4uIGFK

I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kaLRTpapC

"What?" I asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoG0UO2TWN

"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmOd6OniGm

"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDmf8nxj8Z

"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed5wgtESxF

"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTrN9f1aPV

"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZTyHjJYge

"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXeeiP7uB5

"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtflOiN3N5w

Dang it! I was cornered 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xql81hegh
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEtwnCzrVf
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeDUszeyrW
light no matter how much you try to hide it.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea18s6KoN7

"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6AWtES4zn

I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dpY3GklNv

"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgopFWLLH2

We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd5COlTbgX

I told them everything 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptgJZtDh9T
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOfzEb9PJp
said a word until I finished the whole story.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7o5adHx9F

"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkvJb79Cqs

"Just you two," I answered.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHTiGrAanp

"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO08o2SKKZQ

"Surprising, right?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIApAtT7HF

"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vEKEACPRK

"We should involve the police," said TOP.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9HdQIcfJm

"No! We can't!"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF0D9zlphj

"Why?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUfNzcjcFN

"You know word goes out 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRz8qNcNQ4
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0DY2KsRzJ
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSASYHF4i8x

"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrkaDL4cWp

"He assured me that this864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaDZ9KpwCZ
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNSoUAa0Ql
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oJYpfLYfr

"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf3FxQnuV8

The three of us turned 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaBR5oswHv
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecB2ZHIbnk
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7Iq2kmKAX

"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW743xyWNeC

"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSo9hO9Aza

"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKodFKropPU

"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnzYxdgMl9

"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5YniiH3jv

"Random stuff involving a864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5YtKVCMFi
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l1pqHspk5
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtQW05yIc1
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACpLeNEGpk
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPbLqYMQtp

I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB5OLZNEAJ

"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHg48QhKx8

"Okay, I won't."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZofgzvjqsy

"Sit down."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxzsqHBbtt

Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7LQj6MrBz

"I got myself into trouble," I started.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrODa6TT07i

"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjqco68KNI

"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs8sU2jpqj

Christine's face soon 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbydSJcyQI
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym0Nz5uAEl
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xHdbn8HQP

"What!"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYZuK0OXsG

TOP quickly covered up 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgT6UD69UM
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0bqITSWev
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04P6Op2bpA
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUvM3LKmuX

"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblxYrOZPdg

"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5RqpAQxh6

"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgX6q81T8a

"Of course I'm mad!" 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHuz4RkzO3
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyI0i36nyr
but this by far is the worst one of them all."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz6KfKM99j

"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE7rO1ggq2

"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhraQo1NhcA

"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18cH6S3t1J

"Ya, I remember. What about him?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vgr4Wet6j

"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77BTZGl5E7

"WHAT!"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg89md8QQ6

"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0faj6ckli

"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr4oGkRdjk

"And the one I met at the café," I said.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRBSMDXnGE

"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfIMji2PKN

"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnRCle69o8

"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqxP04xhl4

"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx3JfGRCoK

"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETA6rTJvvJ

"Ya," I said. "I planned864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFkgODCYC4
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg993yXsh9
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsiN3SMtD5

"So you're the one who 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP1STgtxSL
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05FtM6kajE
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ51dfIVyJ
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y0bbsti6v
out with Seungri."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6tfOowesB

"I lied."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm34JarRbsm

Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscwNu7LVvU

"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx06uwmzn0a

"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2h5QuvUYy

"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CvGyFT3HT

"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWYe8ImMcl

"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."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28tN3Q7DaN

"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOBeuN7mJX

"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFfdYJBjIQ

"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."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugHJJbeuKg

"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1fHdxtBbC

"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU1oOMX7NB

"But where?" I asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvegaXQo8l1

"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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTYgnF0IdM

"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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuyAZiKCFt

"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVk2nPrfzr

"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6t7xW9WAS

I took my phone out and 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ87XIpUec
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjCjII76sL
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp8TQyPECC

"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hdSiO1sAL

"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BhH5Hdn0E

Seungri had ordered ten 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaNYF1sml3
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjeG7ZT62j
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKakaN0Qmj
favourite.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRab2sV8jRB

We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkmBgWwgR7

"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatzMHzh9WR

"I'll be ready for 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCKa03Xm2Z
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnahkzGFeB
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLZgTQHvFU

"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8opmz8qXD

"And G-Dragon," TOP added.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv27G0IWBdH

"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QXxkQeTUI

"Well, someone has to," said Christine.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6384VyWGg

"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFJpVi63vf

"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmQvIOwPaK

We found ourselves back 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJnf8SMBn
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTgJgmZrDF
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyayz3GCd0
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVabYiQHDVP
paranoid?864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnHXWzAysI

Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJbZrTES3g

"What?" I asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvSC5b0dTn

"You were frowning," Christine answered.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9zVOfx4Cq

"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmSUlQT6a5

"Says the person who 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gMV7W2qXV
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4jUxrD4AR
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CUBuIk5x1
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAUfuAwSQe

Soon after lunch, we 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8qxaCPNeP
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDwayI7T8O
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOnyCvAJSY
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct9cbBGmM1
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6AYdIgL0e
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGbOxHAAI4
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEPQ9Tm85T

At some point in the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9e364dl63
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P5tXDKoRu
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nVvYbUcwX
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREh0hKdwUE
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeITp8J2nbA
back to practising until we could pratice no more.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf7FEv5GT5

It was five and the sun 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPmzWhZ5jX
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYMWEDcxnu
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsqkwGSuZ0
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTZqX46mX0
side of me. We were all pretty tired.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfynPQVWKR

The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FhclutOCU

While I was resting and 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IFW5HtwEo
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLfnLgNuMJ
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcZl06QFV4
look on my face.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqqSPXJWNl

"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnP5ogPYiV

"Go? Go where?" I asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPgCUAbWgh

Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrlfLkq4tl

"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7zI8Ej9bm

"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc5jmGcrMm

It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ9OGbvUjC

"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqem8I0QlY

"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmNc1s9XsT

"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNPHojAiS8

"I want to follow too," said Daniel.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt38KbX1nY

"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMhaks2s09

I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3NduL9Coo

"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbJGGIzdLL

"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDWDpsKvFz

"Ya, me too," said Mike.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWph0nvTwF

"Why don't you want 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1wUR8Qyzm
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS0MkY7yCu
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzWaFaDAjw
not to follow."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWJvBVTbQ4

I wanted to protest and 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUjq1Vz1ab
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIGnotDkrh
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgymkEwM4LC
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyah5mstxpM

"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVKdXr2afr

Dang it!864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtgyzZjd1F

"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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUznsuwrviw

"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg0nGWtuY9

"Thanks, that's nice of 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnsTfUqfIP
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlByZZIEYcx
the others. "Have fun you, guys."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jut4llXnR

Sam and Daesung left the864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNDwxLTjE7
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKfKekgfUQ
myself that the two also made a nice pair.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjAaum3X35

"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrmTkxSMvM

"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn32nnD9xQ4

"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A6D8gmJzQ

Christine stood up from 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp6Od55YAi
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g54v4oGsh
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTva3hgIg0

I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS85LfyOhS

"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUfHYM20Xj

"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwR9yyCxtb

"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSp3zaqV7k

Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2ytmNp5hE

I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIqwvSNTqI

"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL45y3cw22d

"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnTGEtFiL2

TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rjBV5YH2p

"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3qZDwUAk7

"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUAocewfPz

"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDkSrz8kWZ

"I know," said Christine.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6IyykZgUa

"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXB2Vihdsu

"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfppqYvh6kN

"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKGkH1vLoH

"So that she can judge me? No way."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXqms2Wuu5

"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDADvBnRtqS

"Don't try to convince 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwBeTMVwEg
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMbMvbV2dy
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhbq4Tjzgm
like she could hit me with a hammer.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnRAFb2kA1

"Okay, let's go," said TOP.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ctB5357dq

I got up from the floor 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xZyB5TJdx
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9S5C1SOMR
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqMKYbZCZd
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey6PpJ0VsB
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTetHSPBEq

The cars soon left the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ116YAMf4rc
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriqXhev0kZ
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwZ1B4Tsc2
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpdxAlBeft

"Can you you please stop864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6xgx4zNRr
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoMxAZd2Kp
the teddy and lose it in the car."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6ogW9tRm6

"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXCsKtJCnS

"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII8bJEz3oU

I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpyIBNm1lm

"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6xyCgVTW5

"I just want to get this over with."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9nxoDVyw3

We were soon packed 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRcuz9Wmvp
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurZAwln2cs
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9iAkKcJXR
turned to look at her.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidMiG2Drfm

"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdNpTM0YqT

"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQqnFtUBeD

Seungri also turned to 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36XlC2BpLL
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ4BBJ8DFa
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqJhuj2ZMb
chest and I wished Sam was here too.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYrgaOssP2

I soon got out of the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4zQYuRFx7
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemUibySGN5
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjDg2SIyfT
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2lRmpwTGO

Before I could find my 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xH1OChrPv
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMOx2geecG
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw3dMaY1gx
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCgtuPH8ix

I quickly went in the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqKRUboSBX
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiN7SIUVc7
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53XauUb3mo
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG270C2GTt

I slowly approached the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqhnAVOMaU
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67eoJicUny
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0slLjQm89L
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizqwWCAdVo
hesitate to end my life right here.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yVtshvBE3

"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SEbaDc5qU

"I was practising today," I answered.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEqCAAnqVD

"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BSTtWdPrP

"Thanks," I frowned at 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXMRhXQvYG
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM3CVEMvNr
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ChR0SWEHk

Jehan smirked. "Certainly."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5lVG43WhU

I quickly reached out 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc1rdinne3
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5n5GAXEKW
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaIwUGKK7D

"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDtrWgbwE6

"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2faF3joUx

"What now?" I complained.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1bpZj0ywZ

"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysluBqkQgc

"What do you think? That864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5X17W3PNA
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78jib2mg5L
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd3D45Y62a
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxkgYuQZ5P
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTOXifydaO

Jehan raised an eyebrow 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dNfEpmcV0
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKCMfsBTHH
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUROXQ46Tv
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyWPGZpxYZ

"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3bnLSBKsr

"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhgYvMAm8T

I went back to looking 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyjax1C2Yf
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIPc1MBbGp
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKwDxkxbPh
surprise me that he carried that thing around.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJH5yXU0KR

Jehan slowly laid the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvik7OPzHV5
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPmdLj8NVI
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4kkEKVBQi
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l6IIpHLcN
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZdaQMBSrq
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGvDXyfEGE
the teddy bear.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjpTdzXIqt

Wait. I frowned. This 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCsD29IXPj
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL9gVldwV0
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjLeviVaWE
diamonds!864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1TalKeZiY

I stared horrified at 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqrhf2EO1r
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf3IeRbin0
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu2jpp5QUH
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lNt3W4J2G

I looked up at Jehan and864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl4zE5AVoN
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtLaN25JRD
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5OZB8SGmJ
that, he was going to end up traumatised.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiMeyuBUty

"Je-Jehan," I said 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCXwk7uKxS
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2umryobiwg
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oeE8jebW1
there."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgrFTXtP9p

Jean neither moved nor 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhTHY3t9mj
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtQBBT5FXF
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYJgfxgRHS

But how could this be? 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOFRxbkJbU
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1chisEPcb
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h7GzLgF0p
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbn785yuuB

"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqcYqYOC2C

"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii53zpHyBZ

He banged his fists on 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdlw07GTV3
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6kTtY4enb
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXceI7ErHMQ
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNaDYSB7Iu

"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eHxoPPZWh

"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd3YMCav7u

"I don't know. I don't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DOloXvmbN
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0t3LWVYju
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtgasdlV9M

"How did the diamonds go missing?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r4wDLiZxG

"How am I supposed to 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGXMuUlS6p
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgT6KpGW4E
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ihY4V4lnf

"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitWFWh2diG

"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPspah3RI5

Jehan rubbed his 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0yoBiQzWT
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4DfK0nmx8
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAtE17myp0

"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESpNnmVqFt

"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGFQAsDA70

"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbgkeE733w

"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhT2kiQgsa

"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnkreLc7eQ

"I don't know."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzszcNgPgq

Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqTkvEjDsC

"Ummm," I looked down 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqarTe4krrb
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKMCCHZ9zJ
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInJDYyZo63

"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY3ceKy83x

"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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFfXlQMi2X

"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWngsRFKrz2

"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRL3tfd4Gi

"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPAdmL5DCw
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vHsboTxRa
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibp52HZQJK

"I don't think so. Lee 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG1O4M6dbc
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPqg1eu3Tf
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7sxrOFTMW

"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9bZGFGWKo

"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."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR9e4YdLLx

"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3K6DwVMOe

"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFJBuRMNZC

After I said that, Jehan864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4lpdJSHq6
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCOj7R4I5j
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPz5TQbT1e
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ0J5lKKuq
look on his face.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1CloZANzb

"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR3bKW715H

"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFvDObJofy

"I remember one of my 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjZ8Hm3MhL
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdo7BxLq30
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCug58lBwaP

"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4uaaMVObB

"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!"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSaSIHDlui

"Huh? I can't start 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBKzEfD0qx
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1awK67LJ07
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVknOqld6qo
that the bear is missing."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgV5Q9qHmd

"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNOb6BzJnD

"What do you mean?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX7uXOpR55

"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZFmZSksef

"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgurZiB2Ay1

"Now that, makes no 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICla905Xl8
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHHC7EEesZ
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvpvuJq7HV

"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bzJ7EpXbz

"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3g3gVcOLw

"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBCstyoiDk

"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFlVAv8aXO

I completely forgot that864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVWeESXrUg
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfcAhpkdzC
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3NxB0HqMK
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZunqNBiXK

"Okay. I'll see what I can do."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliUVkvdVyP

Jehan gave me a smile. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCIF1V8qWP
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIp9Wn6rdj
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde451romy7

I nodded my head and 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgESOyv307V
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR3UbEu0DI
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwwZr5Rls9

"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6fwQnXrw9

I sat there as I buried 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u4MnvjdcU
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvXxgyohw7
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9lM1pOO1p
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWoePvXVOc
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtia3eNlxh6
drama that might just ruin my life?864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuqe05dPH8

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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyDGObTp0F

"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRSnHeEoUs

I could hear footsteps 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft61Fnfsqc
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg09cgZ2VaZ
when they saw the look on my face.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACZzcdGxon

Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKnCL9d9QZ

"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnotDkn2tl

"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxbi4nTDjR

"No," I answered. "He didn't."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJukKLTuxp

"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGMg9mNECv

"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIJWJyrjRF

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."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsirySnBJDy

"And what about Lee?" 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizPwljb4j3
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nE0GR8BJ7
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUS26p1tnt
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kgvYQHti4
to."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kMcNDQkT1

"This is bad," I said, 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W7DKEXc8I
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVcrAe3s8m
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwRXozKtrw

"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYQWyN3zzs

"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZODMpXv8d

We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR20kNeSPOY

"Sam?" I wondered for a 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6hfateTzV
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1hJ1jQc22
she have swapped it with the other one?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BleSpY8D1

"Okay, wait," said TOP. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVkKcvU4FR
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKOhcr4a5Z
what's really going on in the first place?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc7br0r0T9

"I doubt it," I said 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrh0kQVhqz
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmLjrBPOF3
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CjDeYfiUj
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjhmnBTdWu

TOP and Seungri looked 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D19LSUiuW
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrkUVRrgzQ
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjW9hhN2uH
it away.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd4pxgsGCV

"I highly doubt it too,"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmFCHoccmf
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpAn4E3TH4
she would have asked us about it."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkAMY9yEkg

"That's true," said 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUGUkiuxhw
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDv7smaJ7W
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQgS1uCyzD

"And I checked out the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1YHlGGYKz
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6cFSBSDkW
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bcFBO4W40

"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIhKWz4Ru9

"No, I highly doubt it,"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJusCWnPKYv
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUHIbYBSet
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcRr0d9IJk
said nothing about them entering a toy store."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85iGW1TCBU

"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL8Isxu4bJ

"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY56c4iiiZw

"Collins?" Mike asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWAoY08Hco

"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbIbm6idNy

"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z8TPVgFj0

"But who knows? Maybe he864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkHUkEI4i9
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIw8bZ3Yiq
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv4hgsBgFc
times."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zFNruXbgN

"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvofQ9rYIR

"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5sJWRo3jH

"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1054pu7Nr

Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kpKCVYvCg

"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA86ifQMZHb

"He was the one who went864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq5NA67blk
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUlV5PO52B
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KuMNMHawm
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLZgym84Dw
elevator."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSmDbO7lcI

"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6p4mtaYCe

"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FlZ4gajpd

"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t5JOwk4bH

"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB0bnZeDf1

"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgkXIOQzRH

"You're right," I said 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktBFSrwemE
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5HNFEEMRI
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7bOiwxyK6

"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmDr0BXBBf

We all walked out of the864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GhfpnJjBN
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQZZAYM1G4
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95zhXgbL14

While I was in the car 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidYU8hIMMr
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxoQrne8uh
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN85PWjvJlg
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs88BrW9eB
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zVg9seQZs
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkKx55Ehw6

If it isn't him, then 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtm5LClkXE
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgpT9enHGN
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6MSeTQfJz
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLvXP2h9KD
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLAeGD7tio

What if I had the wrong 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaj1h7AFGL
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNMRaG1YkC
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ATsFEThqX
place without any of us noticing in the first place?864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru8kjSVxJI

I hope I could be able 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAutzW3NaJU
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdmwKGphBd
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrXisDIbcj
happen.
