Have you ever been awake919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqAQBarjpv
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnBh1tBgAn
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2jrC6fB3b
day goes on?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVgDRxnXMh
That's how I felt right at this moment.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32z820uBa9
I tossed in my bed, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzarHcrpb9
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYxScecI7C
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAocNnX6uk2
could come up so that I could meet my end already.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Rs1sLxnG
I quickly sat up and went for my phone on the drawer close to my bed. I checked the time. It was only 4 AM.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjpHtblG6C
I fell back on my bed, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcelXVHzYZB
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MeyZOFaAQ
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWbWClLNKB
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4UCWZPwbf
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdiQtmSTNA
till sunrise, but waking up three times meant I was too bothered in my 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaiDVv5DM2
mind even to dream.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF8kfw3C5N
I turned to my other side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsVHx6zAYy
How I wish I could fall 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFMU2V0gQp
asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring slightly in her sleep. I919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpfAMSzDKE
stared up at the dark ceiling trying to picture things in my mind but I919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuAq9LZtCm
couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't working.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5VQLfeleX
I sighed as I looked at the panda. I couldn't stop thinking of what I was going to do today, especially with G-Dragon and Zoey.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ5BzEQnND
I knew I now had to face919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82otCtiylJ
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Px8jK45u
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and me. And even919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaal2VA32A
though she was tired when we got back, she still hadn't stopped 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPT9P7Tnjy
bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaBStAaxRL
I knew her persistence 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKyXPs0rWM
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0PVgaTmIg
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShwVGdBVGR
her if I had to tell her the truth.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvZGVs6UEq
I know sometimes we 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRpI8hl10a
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsipy4b7gQr
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXLiX3utED
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ9OaLdnHy
had now reached that point.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJLbKHtvoL
I sighed again as I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokJ6s2Qhp1
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavlSGX3oSS
What wrong did I ever do to be in the position I was in right now?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf7aQVdHM2
If it came to G-Dragon, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepYwdXqSxt
he was going to be one person who will be difficult to talk to. I know I919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbrUhUlwjZ
betrayed his trust, and trying to convince him was going to be a whole 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtlr15vFle
lot harder.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlKw0xtbnq
How was I going to tell 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfwoZIqTbn
him that yes, Daesung and I did kiss, but all of that happened due to a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbch9VUxmkg
completely different story? I know how bad he must be feeling and if I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSUOdTDB2K
was in his shoes, I probably wouldn't believe anything I would say 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZR72twzYY
either.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5lLIq5Mhw
I kicked out the bed 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv1sg1u5DE
covers and got up from the bed. And taking Mr Panda with me and my 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIPulxZgzj
phone, I slipped my feet into my bed slippers and walked out of the room919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF1hlf2uQi
in my purple pyjamas.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANZlBIUvFc
I went straight for the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC1SdI0yzD
dark, empty lounge and I turned on the lights. I went to sit on the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxzmW0wHF6
comfortable couch and with my feet up and folded with Mr Panda in my 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9K34nZ6af
arms, I unlocked my phone and went straight to my contacts and called my919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9yeQNqplo
mum.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9PhFBPBzd
Hopefully, I was calling919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJEXc1xv1X
her at the right time. I wasn't really sure what time it would be back 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WWa3kLUcx
home in the U.S. I was too bothered to even try and figure out all this 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFTirGjBlW
time zones nonsense. I just had to talk to someone. And why not my mum?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOYZ82BSVj
I put the phone to my ear hoping she would pick up. I just hope she wasn't busy at work or something.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwgzUZuTx6
She finally picked up the phone on the fourth ring.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NOnOjCQmi
"Hello, Sam?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV1zrhawaK
"Hi, mum."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NUQT8QQft
"Sam, how are you, dear?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzwnNEzqVL
"I'm good. How are you? Are you at work?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKBwXbAcjI
"Yes, I am, sweetie. I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakINW1WcUO
am just looking at photos online on the computer. A friend of mine just 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJqhoxoYAM
told me you guys went out bowling with BigBang."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd847YjxCke
"Ah.." I scratched my head. "We did, mum. And we had fun."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkYtBEhlOs
"Ya, I can see you guys 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeztpDw8FzR
smiling and laughing on the photos." I could hear clicking in the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5rWjhwLZD
background and that confirmed that she was tapping away on the mouse of 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5pj2bgt0z
her computer as she looked at the pictures.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfruSZnH9r
"So, was it more like a competition?" she asked. "It's says here that you guys won."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XEQfWLqUb
"It was mum. We won," I said with a smile. "You should have seen what happened. It was awesome."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74YhoN8CTz
"I'll check out the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRytNS9pGOf
videos later on and see everything for myself, dear," I could hear my 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCbz5Lt810
mum clicking quickly on the mouse. "Now tell me. What's bothering you? 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw9JkJoWwy
Why aren't you asleep?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujMIp2ti0r
I raised an eyebrow. "You know what time it is here?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCoMywP77P
"I'm your mother, Sam. Of course I know what time it is."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9MUVt47fL
I could imagine my mum 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCFQ0dxTLW
with a stern look on her face as she said that. If we weren't talking on919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUMlzhLHk0
the phone and I was standing in front of her, she probably would have 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yWiKw0IX2
her arms folded.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQHXCpDNcD
"I know its way too early in the morning for you to be awake right now," she continued. "What's up?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyjIXWy5vW
"I feel my whole life has been nothing but a lie, mum," I said as I tugged at Mr Panda's ears.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZUbMYnOWq
"Your name is Samantha Glasson and you're a famous pop star. That my child, is not a lie."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DpG2Rvcnt
"Mum, you know what I mean when I say that."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F7cH9v7zV
She sighed. "What did you lie about this time?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr4oGmEAfJ
"I've lied way too much in my life, but this time, I think I'm in a really big mess that I can't seem to get out of."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijtSXEql7n
"Tell me. I've all the time to listen."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQztAzt9w1
"I've been lying to Zoey919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFlbJw9CTF
and everyone else about G-Dragon and I, and I don't now how to tell 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPa3PLos0e
them, especially Zoey since she likes G-Dragon so much. It would crush 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23gYtyKJnQ
her if she finds out G-Dragon likes me and not her."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOiHgSeQUO
"I thought you girls weren't supposed to date any one of those guys."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWWFwzh6Pe
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow. Collins really does tell you everything, does he?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCmbJoo2G2
"Whatever he tells you, we as parents have to know too. I hope Zoey's mum isn't going to freak when she finds out."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNwmfNp7WJ
"Trust me, mum, Collins 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6OxJ6TeGC
has no clue with what's going on in our private circle and I suggest 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZJwPUoUgc
that you shouldn't say a word either."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBiArPch0u
"Is that a threat?" I imagined my mum's eyebrow raised.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh9qr7QGpM
"You know I can never 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP7cT9bUPX
threaten you, mum. It's just for now until we come back home. It's a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziv720CHyi
matter of life and death. I've no choice."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLimaLdYfX
"I know. But why does Zoey like him?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIrFM0EfvW
"Knowing Zoey, you must know by now the kind of guy she would fall for, mum."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIhiM730hH
"True. But how come she likes him but he likes you? Don't tell me you also like him too."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUgN8XV0oC
"Well....." I hesitated, trying to figure out what to say next.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVblVPWyukh
"Samantha Glasson," my mum's voice sounded stern now. "Tell me the truth."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR0UQQ4G70
I sighed. "I also like him, mum."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCp9rZ0vRg
There was silence at the other end. Until....919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6cbeM0mLS
"WHAT!"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnb66aP8Rc
"Mum, calm down. It's not what you think."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeQBjzWFDM
"Then what is it? The 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOxtghfTG4
way I'm seeing it, you also like him and you feel guilty because you 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AfFh4ntXo
feel like you're betraying your best friend."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYnhdznZCo
"It was like that at 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Aos5N8iB
first. I really do like G-Dragon but I'm learning to like him as a close919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQPXZn3hBb
friend because I know how Zoey likes him and because of Collins' 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HFS4sPiHc
'golden rule'." I put "golden rule" in quotation marks with my remaining919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES8jtdSpfS
fingers.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfjbtWLxFG
"What do you mean it was like that at first?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryi6QkNYRE
"I like G-Dragon, but he isn't the only one."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB5Nx5BLYv
"Don't tell me you like someone else from the same group too."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWvF1I5kNW
I closed my eyes as I winced. "Yes, mum."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvlKeLkJPZ
She didn't say a word. I wondered what she was thinking right now.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6LpcoCVXO
"You're really in one hell of a mess, dear."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu9R9tyMko
"And that's not the worst part."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaIqjrDw4Z
I told her what happened919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgv8D8meQj
the day Zoey went missing, making sure I didn't mention the stranger in919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42J2RzoRlO
the suit. I talked about what G-Dragon and I had talked about in the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zmV4ARBda
park and what we agreed upon. Then I told her what happened with Daesung919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqtuN9mDvy
and the kiss.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oKD22H2BV
"You kissed?" my mum sounded surprised.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB4g04TrGt
"Ssh, and listen."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLBkcWeEaY
I told her that G-Dragon and Zoey saw us but they didn't witness the kiss. And I told her what happened afterwards.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVxnyRfMRB
"You're in a real mess, Sam. You now have two people to tell the truth to."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhYjGrwxEc
"If it's not Zoey and G-Dragon, then it's the entire group."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ObUZr1A57
"I know. But you can't lie forever now, can you?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkmtgaKbOF
I thought of what she said. "You're right. We all deserve to know the truth someday."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARvAzt8uvG
"Are you scared?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNzoMEnqPe
"I am. Maybe that's why I can't fall asleep." I hugged Mr Panda close to me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMQ3sALUW8
"It's okay to be scared, sweetie. And it's good that you decided to come out clean."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN1verTMnG
"I don't want people getting hurt because of me." I could now feel tears coming up in my eyes.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSzq0CeaA2
"We all get hurt at some919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3SssZqIxY
point in our lives, sweetie. That's why there is a time for everything.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvHdPo5BAw
Just wait and see. After the storm, everything will be back to the way 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1a0YSBBxf
it was and everyone will forget about it. Besides, no one can stay mad 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vho19YpK2
at you forever, Sam. Not even me."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c9Peuv9AR
I smiled as a tear ran down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8r3kTJqUy
"Thanks, mum." I sniffed.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULU1xpzwjh
"Don't cry, okay? You're919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudlY4rHTFR
a brave girl. Now, do me a favour and get a few minutes of sleep. You 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kD1g99yVc
will need all the rest you can get."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs23cppX56f
"Yes, mum. I will."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91I4nrdTDV
"Bye, Sam. Tell me what happens, okay?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu79o7x7xEP
"Okay. Bye."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTM5ECu4FT
I hang up and I quickly 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg8msrtPyB
got up from the couch with Mr Panda and went back in the room, straight 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwcCnAbBE6
into the bed covers. I fell asleep in an instant with Mr Panda in my 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AEnhJo3b7
arms.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ohzPh61K
It must have been some 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXQoK3DzRP
time around 7:40 when I finally woke up. The sun rays shone brightly 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZYlitVaia
into the room that I had to shield my eyes with my hand from the light.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI9lQpkoFf
"Wakey! Wakey!" Zoey came over and sat next to me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbYfmZIe0j
"Mmmm." I murmered as I turned around and covered my head with a blanket. "Leave me alone."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwkmCTz8g7
"You've to get up, Sam. We have a big day ahead of us."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet74AWJvPT
"Isn't it a Sunday today?" I asked as I removed the blanket from my head.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUnO5Oc7WB
"Sadly, it isn't, my 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex8ApaA2vN
dear kitty," said Zoey as she placed her hand on my head. "Looks like 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1mIlh7Cbn
you weren't the only one praying for it to be a Sunday."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwqCAi4KxT
"Okay." I muttered as I sat up on my bed and rubbed away the sleep in my eyes.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdeVD0kM2g
"You know you have a lot of explaining to do, right?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxEENFWuob
I yawned, then sighed. "I know. You don't have to tell me."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWM1nkqptR
"So, start talking right now."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sPqC3R0W8
I looked at Zoey with wide eyes. "You want to talk now?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tr11q3E6D
"Ya. I'm still really worried about you."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OBbeWGw6N
Looks like I had no choice. This was it. Time to tell the truth.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bvcz4LbY2
"What I'm about to tell you, is going to crush you completely, Zoey."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlpOivolTS
Zoey turned to look at me with a serious look on her face. "What are you saying, Sam? Is it that serious?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Htro55ZBt
"It really is, and I feel bad that I have to tell you."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJRWbwzyAZ
I hesitated as I looked down at my hands and played with my fingers. Zoey put her hand over mine and I looked at her.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq3Rff0Bli
"Just tell me, Sam. Even if it's going to hurt."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xE6prTho6
I closed my eyes bracing myself for impact. My heart was pounding so hard.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg43kVJ3Fk
"It's about G-Dragon and I," I said. "I'm sorry to say this but...."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtSfGagzPL
"You like him, don't you?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdPkfT7t01
I opened my eyes in shock. That wasn't supposed to happen. And what made Zoey say all that?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lnTcShSLQ
"I..uh...no, that's not it."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtd52u90C0
Zoey laughed. "Don't worry, Sam. I know how much you also like him. I'm not mad."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLPDnxFU3V
"Zoey, that wasn't what I...."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVCC89GYFg
"Expected from me?" Zoey919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfIh6QsFap
grinned as she flipped her hair to the side. "I know, you're surprised.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6kjcH2bsu
I like him, you like him, the whole world likes him."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMKjXOhDOG
"Zoey, I..." Zoey placed her index finger on my lips to keep me from talking further.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruM5LF9zb0
"I know you feel guilty 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEUAeImXhe
that you like him because I do too. Don't worry about it, because I know919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTU5zek3qI
that you wouldn't try to steal him away from me."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcJLlmeKdB
I gulped. What was I going to tell her now? How was I going to her that G-Dragon liked me and not her?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmKNZRo0Ya
"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PrYGC61xg
Zoey shrugged as she was deep in thought. "I haven't thought of it that way. I know that he only has eyes for me."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYx5yDzGp1
I wanted to slap my 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T7HYFS8hK
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlsDhJcMAF
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0fzZNKwPZ
it gets out of hand.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjYE8k2gXg
"Zoey, listen to me," I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvOnseALBG
said as I looked at her in the eye. "I admit that I like G-Dragon, but 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1xpQZ7DUX
not in the way you think. You on the other hand, need to know that...."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTBe5VEFwb
I paused. That was odd. 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhsaSZHb1f
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDMb0j8l3a
felt someone had just cast a spell on me and now I was tongue tied.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CfYNuA7hE
Zoey looked at me, irritated that I had stopped talking. "What do I need to know?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3rnQ2QJBe
What was wrong with me? I919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZiLlXjtBi
had so much confidence when I was talking just now and I still do. But 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgI66MbqpN
now, I couldn't say anything. I opened my mouth to speak, but still 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ThbjmKVEg
nothing came out. Zoey shook her head.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPQhUWMso1
"You're weird, Sam," 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn6vQdLnkE
Zoey stood up from my bed and went straight for the bathroom. "When you 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuVqxLSzVE
finally have the courage to tell me what you wanted to say, I'll be 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0mALI2KWm
waiting."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa74Qf9ueiX
Zoey closed the door and919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1sJEn993v
I heard the shower tap turn on. Oh no! I blew it this time and that 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pmjM6Z42o
just proves that telling her the truth was going to be a whole lot 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoqFIGM81I
harder than I thought.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc1xsEyf0D
At least Zoey knew that I once liked G-Dragon, that's if she really took what I said seriously.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah7QhUoGTG
This was all so messed up and I felt like I was going nuts.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqfUJ5SRbQ
I stood up from my bed 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDF2cQ01eH
and started to pace up and down, thinking. What happened to me a few 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ764welwxF2
minutes ago? Why couldn't I tell Zoey the truth? Well, half of it, which919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dr9YBSXsq
is the most important part.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7bl8UCTJx
"It's not your portion to say anything to Zoey. And you know it."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxemDyu1WZg
Whatever my conscious 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj4kzcgqbd
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGe78FnEOY
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that why I was tongue tied 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCz4rcoV6N
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnydb53hqt
If that was the case, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3AO15tylp
then G-Dragon better do it fast. The earlier it was, the better. Before 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlAFyFHKta
Zoey really gets too much involved with him or else she would be 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFTHgfOOPx
shattered completely.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa7KcCN3dy
While I was trying to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B9cmMvlD7
figure out what to do next, my phone rang and I went on the bed to reach919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDrNBwytE1
out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDtuEQU7ef
When I checked the caller ID, I raised an eyebrow. An unknown number. I wonder who it was?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJlZC4tDuP
I answered the call. "Hello?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9CyFJNy2H
"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymwSCpbH7s
I held my breath. That 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDDV7ymKf4
sent a chill down my spine. Who was this? Dang it! I'm supposed to be 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlVTKrndTz
asking that question, not thinking it.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8OtHUltdl
I cleared my throat. "Hello? May I know who this is?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ABr1pKO62
The man chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What matters is that we talk."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKNeCnvNyI
"Talk? Talk about what?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfkJipp6Lu
"Did you check the photo I sent you?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl1DicsTas
"Photo? What...?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRg6yBn70o
I paused when I realised the photo he was talking about. I had completely forgot about it.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtE2nBObsN
"Oh!" I slapped my forehead. "I never downloaded it to see what it was." I raised an eyebrow. "What's the photo about?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxEyZKMi3c
"If you haven't seen it,919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpDECuX1ol
then it's best you see it for yourself. I can't tell you over the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4tQNqk3DN
phone. When you see it call me or text, will you, sweetheart?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6QYLhBJAe
Sweetheart? What was this guy playing at? What was the photo all about?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MjLFJGXhQ
"Are you trying to blackmail me with the photo?" I asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0lsP12wQ7
"I wouldn't call it blackmail. But everything would be more interesting if you're involved."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh0veBeEJ2
"If I'm involved? What do you mean?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7QMAqoOn5
I could soon hear the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLbyFdm1tn
person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFwQxUeRP4
break it. What was going on today? First, I had G-Dragon and Zoey to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C3xDCNAAj
handle and now, I had this stranger calling me and making things worse.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wZWbAyiBN
I looked back at my 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6woigIz7p
phone and started to go straight to my messages. I checked the message I919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEY8hl2MmI
had received from the unknown man and I realised that I still hadn't 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn47LQeSks
downloaded the picture. I switched on my mobile data and started to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO58dhCrbe
download the photo.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkzXPbIMTa
"Sam! Zoey!" Lee came all of the sudden into the room. She almost scared me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLUGmQEgC3
"Goodness, Lee!" I held my chest as my heart beat fast. "There is a thing called knocking, you know?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHM4yLKTiE
"I know, I thought you guys were still asleep."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmkJ3Yn0jZ
"No matter," I said. "We're all awake as you can see."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPSjwcYB7q
"Okay. Get ready, we have to leave for the studio."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmI6e5QAtE
I nodded and Lee left. I919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY0vHv3LWU
went back to looking at my phone. I frowned. The internet was so slow 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UEySDwRBQ
today. The photo hadn't finished downloading yet.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8kdt4jzvL
"I'm done," said Zoey as she came out of the bathroom in her towel. "You go get ready."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnvungtFMi
"I just want to see something first," I said as I pointed at my phone.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevR5iyKF64
Zoey walked up to me, took my phone and threw it on her bed.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAG3KP9b2g
"Zoey!"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1VpW7jPxX
"Not a word, Sam. You're919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR24fdbgcbp
always the one telling me to get ready and be punctual, but you don't 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcdrtGVPsC
want anyone telling you anything. Just go take a shower. I wonder what's919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hShDPOZqn
up with you today."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzhDmFtRNp
If only she knew. So 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS1Hsinfq5
many things were running in my mind that I couldn't seem to focus on one919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKhrtc5lt2
thing because something else would just pop up all of the sudden.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jhFm7o2kQ
I went to the bathroom 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMLThrrxsw
and locked the door behind me. Before I could undress and get into the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndHB1MsFOt
shower, I went over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my own 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFBewUN8tl
reflection.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBlN2q4oRs
I looked like I hadn't 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69ZvgImhgk
had sleep in days with all the dark circles underneath my eyes. I was 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqk8cnhFqw
deeply troubled, that's for sure. My problems just got increased by one 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2avyGVLvh4
if not by two.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNshcOAtbPK
G-Dragon and Zoey were 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn5iLcOi1A
my main problem to tackle today. And all of the sudden, an unknown 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFeXN8Fx3m
stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNEfoCNQUp
about. And why he sent it to me was the most confusing part. If he 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrRce70wcs
wasn't blackmailing me, then what was this charade about?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig7JecisLs
After I took a quick 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMfnj5zGBW
shower, I quickly went back in the room and I went straight for my phone919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GSZqysK19
on Zoey's bed. Zoey had already dressed up and she went past me into 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVI5vbnTd7
the bathroom to get her makeup done.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkRWuArt17
I unlocked my phone. I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c6AtknARi
was pretty anxious about the photo that even my hands were shaking. The 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyrUJ4I15m
photo must be done downloading by now.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfieO8aD0Lm
Just as I unlocked the phone, it vibrated. Someone was calling me. Oh no! What now?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDZwKalfoe
Seungri was calling. What could he probably want to talk to me about this early in the morning?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoAs5BCAYj
"Hello, Seungri?" I answered.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIO0tMB6et
"Morning, my panda," said Seungri.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ANCir1s4X
"Morning. How was your night?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ogCnSuNvc
"My night was perfect, since I dreamt of you."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwDLn7tk4M
If I was myself, I would have blushed by those words. But now, I was as confused as ever and I didn't know what to say next.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8bOxaFRxz
"Oh, wow," I said, trying to act a little surprised. I hope he bought it.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JtyFFU72u
"I've a little something I want to give you when you get to YG."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbayp3mkzHX
I smiled a little. At 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLxjPggU6G
least out of all that was going on, Seungri managed to make me smile, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFtNIel792
which was quiet peculiar because he didn't say anything funny. I was 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajmvepMW3g
already imagining another huge stuffed panda waiting for me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQPBn2vV70
"Can't wait," I said with a little laugh. "See you."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn8nxUvL12
"You too."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlqYA6SBUH
He cut the line and I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgAKpUth49
threw my phone on the bed. I decided to dress up first and have my 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFnsFR5v0E
breakfast, before Zoey came back in the room and start to pressurise me 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAzlVVBDvQ
again. I had already pissed her enough this morning.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0UyAJzOTJ
After I dressed up and 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeO8654fZT
Zoey had left for breakfast, I went in the bathroom to get my hair done 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A56XZtlvF
and applied a bit of makeup to hide my dark circles. When I was done, I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTF8HZx2QB
went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQo9B5YfzL
always did, I wore my black pumps, grabbed my phone and went out of the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGnX533Ag8
room.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi9Gcfy6Yu
Just as I got into the lounge, I made a bee line to the dining table. Everyone was at the table eating their breakfast.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8lBvd0mv1
"Someone isn't themselves this morning," said Collins as he watched me approach the dining table.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvmc9vzGjx
I knew he was talking about how late I was today. I was usually the earliest to be at the dining table.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE18e73JWa
"Sorry," I said as sat down next to Lee. "I was pretty bummed up, that's why."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFRS7RFaVe
"No pressure, just eat up, we have a lot of work to do today."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHruKN94qU
There was a variety of breakfast options today and I decided to take some cereal, which I haven't had in a while.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghQUsQnHH7
As I got the box of cereal and poured the contents in the bowl in front of me, I couldn't help feel all eyes were on me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwVRtrQhD2
I looked up and just as I had guessed it, all eyes were definitely on me. What had I done now? I put the box of cereal down.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZu66BWpX2
I looked at everyone at the table and when they didn't say a word, I shrugged my shoulders.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFpIMg0ZzH
"What?" I asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKlxM5L7wK
Mike who sat opposite me cleared his throat. "You're eating cereal."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEH5ahbH61
I frowned. "So?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRnCpS0GpD
"But there is bacon and eggs with toast," said Daniel.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxtlHvYWy8
I was still confused. "So?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OXevi3cNy
"You usually don't eat cereal when there is bacon, eggs and toast," said Collins.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmZJGhYZAL
"And cereal is kind of like my thing," said Daniel.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVzshmwK9g
I don't know if I just hit my head or I had now landed in Crazy Town. What was wrong with just having cereal for a change?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRkP9DCxb3
"I don't see the harm in919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WmHFqnWzY
eating cereal. I have oatmeal whenever I feel like it and that's still 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EmH0HQDrm
cereal," I said. "I just wanted something different for a change. Is 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztbQ5rDYgD
that wrong?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd92muaPLc
Everyone else looked at each other and then they looked back at me, shaking their heads.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKGdvMwjpY
"Thank you," I said as I got a jug of milk and poured into the bowl. "I haven't had sweet cereal in a while and I miss it."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFWLyzOD5o
"I can see that," said 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdwH3He8vt
Zoey as she drank from her cup of coffee. I knew she was making fun of 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrZPZD2GIk
me but I decided not to say anything.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHbdpLsnPP
When we were done with 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPUUCdXLp6
breakfast, we headed downstairs in the lobby and the black SUV was 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbBXatV1x4
waiting for us as usual. When we got in, I made sure to take the back 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrvLit61BQ
seat with my brothers next to the window so that I would avoid people 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvw5CkEwIv
looking at my phone.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyvroTUVwE
When everyone in the car919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG1n2RVHr9
was engrossed in some conversation that I had no interest in joining in919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWfMBflkuO
or listening to, I decided to check my phone. The photo was done 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRhYJ7wNTb
downloading and what I saw made my mouth drop and my eyes pop.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cUPdjBy8A
"What's wrong, Sam?" Mike who sat next to me asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOxXt8jeUe
I quickly pressed the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VkCYj18OS
power button on the side of the phone and blacked the screen. Mike was 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqEXi8eDuz
already leaning onto my side to see what was on my phone.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLn76x7CoX
"Nothing, just some scary video," I said.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36oOAWdVFq
"May I see?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI97AAwVhx
"No. You won't be sleeping for the next two days."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUAP0sPgG7
"I've watched horror movies before. I can handle a little scare."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLgSqnZ3rl
"No can do, bro," I said as I put my phone into my purse that I had decided to carry with me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHneWXwoMi
Mike leaned back and folded his arms. "Whatever."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQTAbPKrNm
I wish I could tell him 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUOqKsgjtu
and everyone else what was going on. But at the moment, I felt like 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGhxRmZJ0L
keeping everything to myself, not after what I had seen.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJjp7H6AIF
Now that I had seen the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C2KJhYM6w
photo, I had to meet up with the stranger and talk about all this. But 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqMMpKVO9d
where to meet the person and when was going to be a hustle. It was 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILBU1WWYDn
pretty obvious that I had to meet him alone.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4DN4VsOeb
Speaking of which, I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCY5ucYYlB
still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUSiNg8MzZ
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkZw1ejHcK
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcILULhXv8r
choreography today. This was hectic. And I knew that if I was pushed 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo88YuoXGG2
further onto the edge, I would burst.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucTyAOegiu
Time seemed so short, given that I was thinking of ways to do things today. The next thing I knew, we had finally arrived at YG.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtkATkpNwE
My heart skipped a beat.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc5hwhGoRi
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TYOPK7trW
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ4pxwb9IL
choice.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqkMB21J0Z
As soon as I stepped out919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEG6MXTLW6
of the vehicle, I took a deep breath as I looked at the entrance. I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatBjeNki7i
felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrLGPAQ7UM
"Are you okay, Sam?" Christine asked as she came to stand in front of me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoEocjtpFM
"I'm fine," I said. "I just realised that I haven't really thought of any ideas for the music video."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK6osQJwZz
"You're aren't the only 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHVy86AaRz
one," Christine said with a smile. "Let's just hope our minds will get 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yui33GBCD
to work on that when we get in there."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9v2Z89eQK
I managed to put up a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtWXbhzCIY
smile, but I knew my mind wasn't going to be on full throttle today. How919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYW6EafjoF
I wish this wasn't happening to me right now.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynaok94yeF
As I came into the lobby919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAreUXRMQn
with Christine, we found Collins talking to the receptionist. The rest 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShfI6mTfID
were heading towards the elevator and we joined them.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvzz1TfL4b
"You will be going up to the dance studio," Collins said as he turned to us. "The others are waiting for you there."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhYSOUN3A3
"Okay," the others responded. I for one felt really jumpy at the moment.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZnRSJPNdY
We all got in the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6wIs6ZqZj
elevator and Mike was busy talking about some dance moves he had come up919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEj2oA5amc
with and I wasn't really paying attention though I did get one or two 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRHmRc3hue
things.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FHWg6c0wi
We got to the dance 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSy5ZR7Zol
studio while Lee and Collins decided to go upstairs to meet with Yang 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagPzMu9fzT
Hyun-suk. We checked a few dance studios before we finally found them.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWvUXePXMI
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted so enthusiastically as we came in the room.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFURfgugATn
I was too lost in 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQrczjJlbl
thought to even reply to the other's greetings until Seungri came up to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGNRy7fCYH
me and hugged me. That brought me right back down to earth.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsqc2AD6HW
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seungri asked, still hugging me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRqqSxE4rh
"I'm fine," I said, as I pulled myself away.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFue4XXBBG
"If I know you well, you look pretty occupied in that head of yours," said TOP as he walked up to us.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AOSPUPJR0
"Tell me about it," said919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDixcixAZB2
Zoey as she was now on the floor with Daesung standing right beside her919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjPkYrAThW
and she was removing her shoes. "She's been weird all morning."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn7O26CEU4
"How weird?" Taeyang asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiXGYMzbCh
"Too weird," said Daniel.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkV2DFK4LP
"Cut me some slack, guys," I said. I looked at Taeyang. "They are just saying nonsense."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0wcxtCEBD
"Says the person who was so late to wake up today," said Zoey.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6vmML1UPe
"And ate sweet cereal for breakfast instead of bacon, eggs and toast," said Christine.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhixppvrAGJ
"And refused to give me her phone to check out what she was watching," said Mike.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqIUBOwb6L
I shrugged. "So? And Mike, seriously? Just over a phone?" I shook my head at my brother.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYtgBwJd5t
"It's not like you, Sam," said Daniel. "That's all we are trying to say."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K78mTEYSB
I rubbed my forehead. "Look, guys, I'm just a little bummed out because of yesterday. Is that so wrong?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T7sEDR10p
"No, I think something is bothering you," said Zoey, still on the floor.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia1wkbgwNU
"I'm fine. Trust me. My mind is pretty tired."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29zPpXvxxj
"Come on, guys, let's not stress her out because of this," said Daesung. "If she says she is tired, then she is."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQlFi3UUmY
Zoey slapped Daesung's leg with her hand and Daesung looked down at her. "Don't try to defend her."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAZftwxOLS
"I'm not."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4FJP6gyyf
Zoey snickered at him and I knew why. She still remembered the little incident yesterday with Daesung and me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfNzXGiUSr
"Where is G-Dragon?" Daniel asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5gQgGBQP3
I looked around the room and I noticed that GD was the only group member who wasn't here.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqUC2Kyoc6
"He went to get the choreographer," TOP answered.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR2gfur6Nm
"Now, Sam, about your little problem...." said Mike, turning to face me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJKtlOrGKF
"Not now, Mike," I said as I folded my arms. "You can attack me later, just not now."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnSziuw21y
"Not to worry, my little kitty," said Seungri who stood right behind me. "Maybe this will cheer you up."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPIm7FcQlm
Before I could turn 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbH0TUGz6i
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrbAmCWA3n
head. My hand reached up for whatever it was.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ruiwkkgok
"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1qkDDXi0l
I took the crown from 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPz3XLVoDI
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaB31RDXAM
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR0ihC2OR8
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIidfS6PM2p
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GUmfBMVCF
"Wait, are these real diamonds?" I asked as I turned to look at Seungri with a surprised look on my face.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBfchzX8aG
"It is," said Seungri 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCEHvvHqTi
with a huge smile on his face. "And I know how much you value sapphire 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfEaMOnnlk
stones because it's your birth stone."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4gTJxW14t
"Aww! Thank you so much,919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdoJhwi1E6
Seungri!" I gave him a hug and I couldn't stop smiling. Somehow, I knew919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1tHrxWQDB
he was going to brighten up my day today.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmGyVXaqtf
"So pretty, let me see," said Christine, as she came and took the crown from my hand. "Wow!"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JGSTnqBXo
"I want to wear it," 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaYt1C2XXp
said Zoey as she got up from the floor and rushed to look at the crown. 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kQzO6SNXm
Christine put the crown on Zoey's head.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjlyoKEtRT
"Don't I look like a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7s20fsMv6
true queen?" Zoey asked as she looked at her reflection through the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeojw5jl9AZ
studio mirrors that lined up the walls of the room.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU2KufD39D
"You look like that evil witch in those fairy tale fantasy movies," said Mike.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIHdHFDGup
"Haha, very funny," Zoey said as she turned to look at Mike.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopKlTZhYEA
"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNt9DatSIL
"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MCgDvmc6O
"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHqc2iD0iV
"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwndyYlJ1BC
"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsdLFFOwDN
"May her royal majesty 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCftS4Oyza
get her crown back?" Taeyang asked as he came behind Christine and took 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdyvlk4NrM
the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LbtaFPYEw
"Oh, hail the queen!" Taeyang chanted and I broke into a laugh, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsX7LVOY0M
"Stop it, will you? You're making me blush," I said, trying to cover my laugh with my hand.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmM7ufFklY
"You look just like a real queen, Sam," said TOP.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBRrqjZqu3
"Thanks." I was still blushing like crazy.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjSRhYJdca
"Let me take a photo," said Daesung, pulling out his phone.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQKssKJo1k
"Ya. The whole world should see the queen of k-pop," said Zoey.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPw2l2m5Yh
"Are you really calling me that?" I asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT2lfTizGI
"We did win last night, didn't we?" Zoey asked. "Of course I'm calling you that."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfrPgIn51m
I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't really taking it that seriously. It was nothing but a game."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBla784m7x3
"A game we won. Cheer up. We are all kings and queens with you."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CW4llyvcW
I looked on at Zoey trying to smile as best as I could, but somehow I couldn't.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGZc9LV6dH
She couldn't tell the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMmtnbUPtW
look on my face because she didn't even ask. Daesung went ahead and took919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgnSpkpOZR
pictures of me, and then we huddled together as a group to take a group919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSri9atwf69
photo with me in the middle.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcixlmsdNC
"Hey, what's going on here?" G-Dragon asked as he came in the room.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GCHMt33g4
"Taking photos with the queen," said Daniel.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJZVgcouvL
"The queen?" G-Dragon looked confused until he saw the crown on top of my head. "Oh..."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu37R6LmOy
"It's pretty, isn't it?" Zoey asked. "You should also get me one."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOroCCPxoe
"I can make a gold one if you want," said G-Dragon.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSdSovNsEv
Zoey smiled. "Even better."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrzB3PuMCF
G-Dragon turned to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3CvpVYFa3
Taeyang. "The choreographer is going to be here any moment now. So I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IKxLYYiQW
suggest we bring out your ideas if you have any. We can start without 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMKLJDC02I
him and he will find us."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWdfacsHW1
"Mike told me over the phone earlier that he had some brand ideas," said Taeyang.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JIeQiCnV6
"Ya, I do," said Mike. "You guys just watch. I have the song in my phone so I'll play it from there."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdx24VAk8f
We all stood on one side919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX3aC5PYAT
of the room while Mike took off his jacket and got his phone to search 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEognbY0aU
for the track. He gave Daniel to hold the phone and when he positioned 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVzD2pvi1j
himself in the middle of the room and turned to look at us.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkbtYCWmOw
"So, I was thinking, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7ds05MEcn
since G-Dragon and Zoey start the first verse, they should open up the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD9T0wFXBi
dance floor. So, I need someone to act as Zoey so that I could show you 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW9GHEX5al
guys."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus84tfZPOQ
Christine came forward 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFXJMPOXyg
and Mike gave her a few instructions on what to do. She nodded her head 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k76Fhrbi0
and Mike told Daniel to press the play button on cue.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUSpNjMJpe
With Christine and Mike 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYttLqrRTU
each facing opposite directions with their backs touching, the music 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWFnXBwBWM
started to play. Still not looking at each other, the two started the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZUYM1w9tj
dance with each of them taking a step forward, breaking the contact 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XcJaBJnRX
between them and then like a powerful force pulling them, they dragged 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0bqfo4LXz
themselves back and they again their backs touched.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSVESU28gN
With a bit of skilful 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJlM94lPvb
footwork, they turned to face each other and with their hands, they drew919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvL7coSLkX
closer and then skidded away from each other with their hands in the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7t0A0geiO
air.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGeOm3LP2d
"Then you guys will come in through the middle then make a formation in front."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcC83bwCJT
"That's pretty awesome," said Taeyang.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVHZjYtHoj
"Very smart," said G-Dragon.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7FIRU43Ak
"Let's practise that," said Zoey taking G-Dragon's hand and taking him in the middle of the dance floor.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAMAEa8vxI
"I'll take you through the moves," said Mike as he faced them.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIS47QdCyu
"Your brother is a total genius, isn't he?" TOP asked as he stood next to me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3csFr9tmtE
"Ya, he is," I said with a smile.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt84ra1Xk3
The door soon opened and919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl9yqDUOhi
the person who I guessed was our choreographer walked in. We stopped 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3boiUzk9GJ
what we were doing and bowed as he came further in the room.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHW3BKcaL0
"So, I see you guys are already getting started," said the choreographer.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YXDVn0fR8
"Yes, we are," said Seungri.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMpSlHcsyo
"Okay, let me see what you have done so far."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsvRRpsqpv
Mike and Christine 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvxVAKEd79
stepped forward and the music playing on Mikes phone, they did the dance919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OeCDM1fL5
routine. After their hands broke apart, Mike explained how the rest of 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOEzD8HdP4
us will come in the scene.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWp3FPNxjz
"Mmmm," the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cPLVMN1pq
choreographer looked on at Mike as he tapped his chin. For a moment I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SWa9Viezf
thought he was going to say something bad, but he didn't.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Zasi6PIa
"I like it," said the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVguJIJn7NA
choreographer. "So far, the starting part is brilliant. I wouldn't have 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnhj9pyz94
thought of anything better. Now let's see if Zoey and G-Dragon could 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GSp72QJrw
quickly work on their moves then we will come to the part when everyone 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uFEWRBLmm
comes in."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUGioM9jLi
Zoey and G-Dragon took 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlwbXYTnDZ
to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2opc5ZQxTX
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC7k95oS3R
were perfect.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg2ylEinvp
"Excellent," said the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEQ7gcFOdq
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYiOBjz2MG
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs79VpHKXx
them like a doorway. We will come in a straight line and then make a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjdby2uDQq
formation in front of them."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzXz28Vzu7
We did as the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXzWDjR4xG
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6aa0d6Puy
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZvD4evb1Z
the hang of it.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn4eQOtKbK
A few minutes later, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxGA5zGcZU
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzCneNSnD2
that we can take a break with some of us with our backs on the floor and919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WI7vImVax
staring at the ceiling. Others were seated.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ7PmyZoJ9
"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcJhETNwbP
I laughed, also staring 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6hkrEz8r7
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwla4qzNqbP
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkNUGQDeJK
"Ya, true," said Christine who also had her back on the floor and laid a few feet away from me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9uty8b7Gl
Speaking of problems, I completely forgot about that French guy.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2IfHhCjna
I quickly scrambled up 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2feCSYwXC
from the floor passing Mike and Taeyang who were seated on the floor and919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxg13HdnZ3
still talking about the dance moves. I went to the corner of the room 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLCHKRL4c4
where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc08M5CJh5
and removed my phone.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HH9KY7l5l
I sent a message to the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEttiqwSIwb
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE49NjXIE7k
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSd4PGDJse
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BMDclGjvD
"Good. We should meet."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC2cNbefp7
Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDu0ktPvlk
"I can't see you today. I'm kind of busy."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2TAN9b2rS
"But this is a very important issue, Sam."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjYvbJs9N4
Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRsR5nL1pT
I texted, "what happens if I don't meet with you today?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidKn2nOvSb
"You're one smart 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGRynoHYRG
girl. I don't have to explain because you know what will happen when the919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiaXZCKide
whole world sees this. It's today or never. And never comes with 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESkPDn6JQg
consequences."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV8DuNlOLR
I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJry9r9cdWI
"Fine. I'll tell you when to meet when I'm done."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbwIecpKBO
"That's my girl."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnL9ggoQIG
I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaDSZdlKe4
As I tucked my phone 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo5je2z8AJ
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNB11Ob3pk
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4s8JSXh0W
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP0sa1pnYw
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukqtxWtMUa
I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sfpn5kwCT
When they both turned to919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dvwTryNa8
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0vheRBLZl
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67qElFTH2a
couldn't help but feel that they were.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb6MqEf7ZZ
I laid back down 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEoBHR2p2A
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK9LDo4cuZ
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkKPLPG2J5
two of us had in our room this morning?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfFgMB9t8H
Yikes! If she did, then I919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVimlgnZJWu
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHoJOS1S9U
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrEi4SbthO
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4yEimhUwP
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbzIZEOmev
Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlSC45QV6w
"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAp3s8zpXR
"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AwC86sdVF
"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCb05SmA6c
Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j82f7YsXU
"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5AnlxtUQM
"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AUBsRw5r7
"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkfMpcIF3O
"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg5ZEzWtw7
"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3QDx8usge
"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalasSESuvF
"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3mULM8ANU
"No. It sounds great."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUjM5rhIco
"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFF6cw0fFr
"Well, not for some of us who ended up playing cop," I said, replaying in my mind what a hectic time I had that day.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GaIoDS1Wl
"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYpGfIY4VP
"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMZOPnCWCf
"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwtgBzpeTm
"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aaeYx8i9k
"True," said Taeyang.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr7srtQ8q2
"Okay," I said, feeling a919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf3Vb59QuN
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU6AqH0L7Z
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4xt8WS7oI
"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshlysP2Eet
After the three had 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynRNzpIwH5
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAHxWlmmXG
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdErEV1TKGY
While we waited, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDWgabbTz6
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGJYZGm7PO
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OlEsfBKLQ
expression on his face.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5duHHt7C7I
"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAvZsZpHjg
He sounded serious and I919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsit9YaOPSu
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7thluogRv
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LMg3dC5xm
"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOYOYNlsQc
I got up from the floor 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6DW3k2GUX
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1LSIpMVXy
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9o7dbSymk
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW3bpQiWgh
I found G-Dragon three 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQw9EiEMPL
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKeD5TfYtd
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfY1UfxXvN
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA6qpQEWPo
close.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7kXtrtz3K
"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ851Njg9mMS
G-Dragon turned to look at me and I could see he was upset. It was good that I wasn't that close to him in the first place.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAYvufsP6R
"It's about Zoey," he said.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIofp2gMoS
I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrOBYj4p6f
"She did," he said as he nodded his head. "What's up with you lately? Didn't we agree that I would tell her everything?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF0mMLL4wa
"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pUvdsGY2B
"Really? That's all you can say?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91eYbgP2Bq
"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG6lXrALXP
"But you almost had."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaWogyEsti
"Yet I couldn't."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSQzTbKdAv
"Zoey is right. You're 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOsK1QLMAk
been acting really weird today. Weird enough to tell her the truth when 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdIK7g0ag7
you know I was supposed to do it."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEp1zffGHU
"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2QWYjFCKk
"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwO9TiyvK0
I paused before I could say, "what?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Ra5BmUR3
"You heard me loud and 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfxaIWzo8K
clear, Sam. As though kissing Daesung wasn't enough, you're now trying 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30dPOZpB4O
to take matters into your own hands."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQAeXjz4tB
Oh no. He knew Daesung and I kissed. I wonder how he found out because I didn't tell anyone about it. Not even Zoey.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kxBXAXuJo
"Wait, that's not true," I said.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsSi76MRiN
"Which one? You kissing Daesung or taking matters into your hands?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw81v6TEgf3
I now realised that I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD9SmGMrer
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDhwilKATk
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsfJso040R
assumption right. But there was no point in hiding now. The truth was 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KqOdamS6H
bound to come up sooner rather than later.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtYN4zBzn7
"Aren't you going to answer? Which one of the two?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs67T0BPWB
I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqqHT4HKSc
"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyPyqz4MNc
"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMDYCgqnRq
G-Dragon took a step 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBbgIck6xK
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Co0pbsDp
you kiss my best friend who is like a brother to me!"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6CevfBDU0
"You wanted the truth, didn't you? You got one! But backstabbing you wasn't what happened."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGrnJVIpsE
"Then what did happen?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6YJbKUDcZ
"All of this is nothing 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMMBasSZ3o
but a misunderstanding. I never went back on my word. Things just 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7b8g57YwC
happened that I myself couldn't control."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0ZEuFYmnA
"Don't lie to me, Sam."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJJEsraivc
"You know what, I'm 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQd4dg1bu2
trying my best here to try and tell you the truth but you're acting like919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoazgD2gJ7d
a deaf person blocking my words out. I knew from the very beginning 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZSI0TVmQ0
that I could never be with you nor with Daesung and I have accepted it. I919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7AspxhUgr
talked about that with him yesterday. That's why he kissed me."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SeXGuVFbT
G-Dragon shook his head. "So you're saying that he kissed you and not that you kissed him?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83SQrsqIGo
"Yes. But I know you 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEyAMuzQUF
won't believe me. Unlike you, at least Daesung realised and accepted it 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yEilje4w2
for himself that he and I could never be together."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpT4QlyVCP
I looked at G-Dragon and I knew I hit the spot. I just hope that what I said would make him understand.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BmM4zRFUZ
"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9QkYKUmA9
I turned around to head 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiRcy6p6cJ
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdcsFsTxu3
angry. I was frustrated and my problems were far from over.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUse5GI0RE
When I came back in the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXExLEk6ta
studio, all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I could tell on 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYZR5ce2XI
their faces that they had heard the entire conversation.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPt5v1jW2T
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGRMUvy0nU
I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmV3YKE3Xr
I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYm5Q1v74o
"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWBk69aIpK
I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNoR2ivhPK
I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAffI1Nnpbg
I heard the door open 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4LIrHAOtn
behind me and I knew G-Dragon had come into the room. At the corner of 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGglFRLnQ3
my eye, I could see Zoey turn towards the door.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGqtPZyJZX
"Care to explain to us what's going on?" Mike asked G-Dragon. "You two argued and we could hear you guys down the hall."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEjXMVAWWf
"It's nothing," I heard G-Dragon say.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6MRSUYprB
"It's nothing? Looking at both of your faces, something did happen," said TOP.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0tXueDBOJ
"Look guys," I said as 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FVD3N5f20
quickly stood up from the floor and turned to face them. "Tell me if I'm919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHUnfNel6O
wrong, but you guys heard the entire conversation, right?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMYLkyZQQp
No one said anything and they had guilty looks on their faces. That settled it.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP4VTa7B3g
"I'm sorry you had to hear all that," I said as I scratched my head. "We shouldn't have been so loud."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp7OBkVUYi
"Why didn't you two tell us all this before?" Seungri asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qZyQJXDue
I didn't say anything 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ICyiXKNl
and neither did G-Dragon. We looked at each other and then at the others919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE0770F4Eq
who were waiting for either of us to say something.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssoYenNaoz
Before anyone could 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYqjAKO3LJ
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8zuKMkO4u
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpNK2l3p8z
we went back to practising.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3fKxTLQv3
I don't know how I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPl0EEMIXy
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRPvjAb2eu
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3g1oVLe4D
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8cu0zE3K5
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDyz7I2AZE
head in the real world and not mess things up.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWumQhTpHDH
It was lunch time and 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsUmMfhoRi
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVpsCiO6vY
was so tired, I wondered if I would be able to meet up with the unknown 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yXgvQIWt1
stranger.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRzs5tn6VL
Now that we were on a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25C1OGDLlK
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wWka8V5Nv
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyzQ4l5vQi
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArVZw1aEWp
too awkward for me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAwssTFAdc
Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoRr7yGw34
I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoOMdLbQy3
"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksO5M3vMqH
Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru0nBEkul6
"Well, you guys can talk if you want," said Seungri, "but I'm hungry."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6lbNJ00NL
"Ya, me too," said Daniel.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tgyOSlDEr
"We can order a pizza," said Christine.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT3padD6zL
"Good idea," said Taeyang.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26nD3awZAd
As though they couldn't 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3bVIekqDc
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXZcJv8bDa
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lux4WwafO
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was entirely my fault.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOTXz1Cd5e
A few seconds later, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurflJHaY87
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDCk907zoo
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVFwCt8Mb5
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehmF8zUKCF
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6ckUNT0qU
As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrIPAQeXBx
"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1kGzt94oH
"A lot has happened 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMsXmgGuKO
today that I need to tell you, Lee," I said, keeping my voice down in 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ36fIVXtB
case there were any people snooping around.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstEKRFgTb6
"What? What's happened?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplueZxfgFa
"Everyone now knows the truth about G-Dragon and I. They heard us arguing."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNShsVi485r
I could hear Lee gasp and I pictured her ready to drop and faint. "For real? Oh, gosh, this is bad."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNPcYuOqpd
"That's not the worst 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M9n2qYCft
part," I said as I found myself at the end of the hall going down a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzoMuuK3AU
flight of stairs. "A weird guy called me today and I need to meet him."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqe91WgelK
"Huh? What for? Who is this guy?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbFliUxQ7V
"Like I said, he is 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wWqih8xEW
weird. Something bad came up and if I don't meet him soon, a lot of us 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhbqnJ3TPb
are going to be toast especially with the press."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN6ic4wrfe
"Is he blackmailing you or something?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tAztvKRIs
"I'm not sure if I can 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSA0vuyYRi
call it that. But if I'm affected too, then it kind of looks that way. 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbY8f17EoA
Do me a favour and meet me at the back of the building."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvxUg3wPUT
Lee paused. "Why? You aren't going to meet him, are you?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj8EcqkiCz
"I've no choice and I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOBYfw9n70
would better do it now because we are going to be here for a while until919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnydKLcima
we are done with the dance routine. Bring me a pair of sunglasses, a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXRyAxSRV4
cap and a scarf."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46ykfldPuc
"What will you need that for?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vfw3rOfp1
"Trust me," I said as stopped on the stairs. I wasn't too sure which floor I was on at the moment.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9vKZIqmkd
"Okay, fine. I'll see where I can get those."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU8lv06s8c
"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOHZkwGlJY
I cut the call and this 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQMymTQ2h8
time, I ran down the stairs with a new found energy. I was tired from 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wtfr18Vs0
all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHtcOdj5F5
I reached the bottom of 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgM7p6wSd1
the steps. I had reached the ground floor. There was a passage behind 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBHg9uXc25
the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3DkWCqtTt
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu26Rt59eL
voices that I could recognise.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HyUdjMWJA
I went over to look, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqRvbF5Qvg
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHOZDeS9uw
Toxins and BigBang in the lobby heading out. They were going out for 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg90rWVyxw
lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could turn around and 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8cxQ8K6AI
head for the back door, I ended up hearing their conversation.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigQv4Aq0JP
"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX7KhHxz1Z
"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWYIs4kgTW
"I'm just surprised that919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXYjEF6hkM
you kissed my sister," said Mike. For some reason, I was surprised that919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CX77jmSYt
he wasn't upset like I thought he would.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rXGWpjsSV
"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2m8imD7do
"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ6YbM8hG4
"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyBA2pqM4n
"I think so too," said 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7LMDVTQA3
Daniel. "But just in case, we would order her and the others a takeout. 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFtTHnEje8
Sometimes Sam would starve herself without even realising it."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAFyaYDfGo
The next thing I knew, their voices became distant. I peeked again and I saw that they had already walked out of the lobby.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC6XBm0A9r
I was expecting them to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkA6TC1ZH0
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcYoAHgrit
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpW7VPxWSy
Who knows?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHPnQurEMd
Throwing that thought 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNloWAu0Ik4
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DMaRrKxCg
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVwtDulxQI
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYRGfGDfzT
There were still more 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAygnCawho3
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3TK6wDoT8
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDrgpPhE4Z
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG8LGXC7dI
front and I knew the others were leaving until I heard the noise fade 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3LPapMrvR
away.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tXCYgbH0o
In what seemed like 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEVxPt6gpu
forever, Lee appeared around the corner of the building with her 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopAnuRLdOI
handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOKQMZm1UX
"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd81nYcMJfJ
"Don't act all grumpy on me," said Lee. "So as to let you know, finding what you wanted wasn't all that easy."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn1m8G2zDQ
"Okay, thanks," I said as Lee gave me her bag and I gave her my crown and purse to hold. "Hold this."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFNF5TyD2i
"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMMKVQpZlU
"Seungri," I answered as I rummaged through the bag to get the items out.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzbycyhrOg
"This is so pretty. These diamonds look so real."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWihofIIEK
"They are," I said as I put the blue baseball cap on.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CymmRjhpA
"So sweet of him to do this," said Lee. She looked at me. "Are they all still inside?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr3jq5Jc59
"They have gone out for 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0pHmTHZPU
lunch. But Zoey and G-Dragon are talking in the studio. Hopefully things919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdwCRu1UJs
will work out okay. Though I highly doubt it will."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpSMQzsTyC
"Things are really bad, huh?" Lee asked with a sad expression on her face.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ046lINr0iA
"Ya. And they are about 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEGiDypI8o
to get a whole lot worse. Wish me luck." I put on the sunglasses and the919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZpO1hXOGB
light scarf around my neck. Lee gave me back my purse.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoLWK9k10L
"Okay. Tell me how everything goes," said Lee. "Want me to escort you out of the gate?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhaOgw4IaT
"Ya, that will be a good919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Je77EimTd
idea," I said. "Leaving me alone would be dangerous and who knows what 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuAaEd0LMQ
the guards might think when they see me."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEvlvjGXDe
Lee and I started to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjugSF4HHau
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E2MFtTcvv
parking lot. As we were heading towards the gate, Lee started some 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFv1V2TtEt
random conversation and I played along making sure not to look 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIrwNd7Isg
suspicious in front of the guards who didn't seem to be paying much 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSGMGIvYqa
attention. I made sure that they didn't notice my face.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU89ONXRKb
When I finally managed 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJmKiDanNa
to get out of the gate, Lee wished me luck. I nodded my head and walked 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXWLVhIIXn
away from the YG gate and down the street.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjBUbKEIdV
I had to admit, I was so919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiL9kvKChx
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mqTI4Fssx
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzperoFvEZ
in the streets by myself. Going around alone was too dangerous for me 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJAx7KpbGI
and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdKALNpPoX
After walking a few 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mzZJ8236K
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiR0frFthD
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXHHCilyoP
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrEAfDdIW6
the road with a few people and got to the other side of the street.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpZbMtRd2u
As I walked, passing a shoe shop, I took my phone out from my purse and called the unknown man.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Emua8HhjR
"Ah, you finally called," said the stranger who had answered after the first ring. "I've been waiting."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchIVBFjwlP
"Ya, I figured," I said, looking around hoping that no one noticed me but the cap hid my face919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlgh1dIV02
pretty well. "I've no idea where to meet you and I'm not so familiar with the place."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BpykD9j0e
"Not to worry, dear. I already see you. Nice disguise by the way. I can hardly tell it is you under that baseball cap."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOBlKnIFSe
I froze as I soon looked919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaWkqMAw1C
left and right and across the street hoping to see him. But I couldn't 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAFTT0MH1j
spot out any French native among the midst of Koreans. Feeling a little 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1jnsUeLzI
out of place, I figured I might just be the odd one around here too.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHxLGYqrhM
I heard him laugh 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof2NFkfQgc
through the phone and I could tell he was making fun of me. "Not to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiZbyq4Ro3
worry, Sam. Be careful or you might just blow your cover."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL6UHHxPS0
I gritted my teeth. "Just show yourself. Where are you?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbIsAJFmk1
"I'm right here."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA6VodQaZi
"Right where?" I looked around and still nothing. People walked past me and I got frustrated. "Don't try play games with-"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33tIaWd5FM
My sentence was cut 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEK8eE1jxs
short when down the road, a fancy black shiny Bugatti parked at the edge919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN8xe3IIJ0
of the concrete slab right in front of me. I looked on with my mouth 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5MoSwUWcl
agape. I have always admired fancy cars but this was one hell of a ride.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC0HabV1yY
A smartly dressed 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqKideYcBA
looking chauffeur came out of the driver's seat and came to my side. 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH0YOcbdWJ
With his white gloved hand, he opened the door to the passenger's seat.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVavG9XG1H
"You may go in, mademoiselle," said the driver in deep French accent, as he bowed.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGD5fC46mH
At first I was dumbfounded and I didn't know whether to run and head back to YG, or just go in and get this over with.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrcygpyIao
A few heads turned my 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYQ2As7u6X
way and I could only imagine what people must think of a Bugatti and a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAztYArmF7l
smartly dressed chauffeur waiting for me to go in. Strange, I suppose 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOMN8Kja3t
and a little suspicious too.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABdlr7LQQT
I managed to awake from 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf1IdOFhka
my slumber and got in the car before people fully start to look at me 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA6snClA0w
and figure out who I was. As I got in, a nice car smell wafted in the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99XvHI3zPM
air and into my nostrils. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHsPHTtYqB
driver's seat.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxIWlFmLi0
"Samantha Glasson, nice to finally meet you at last," came a deep voice.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH2MUcntJV
With my eyes, I looked 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTejfdCSSKE
at the person sitting right beside me in the passenger's seat. For a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk94gch0nM
moment, I was scared. But when I looked at the man fully, my face fell.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeqkE3DFVm
He looked to be in the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB0oUPsVU4
same age group as me but maybe two years older. I guessed in my head 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiiHwtkPyn
that he must be 24 or 25. He had gorgeous blue eyes like the colour of 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt3BZo5vOs
the sea and brown short curly hair. His dashing lips were lifted up into919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsEOfdQ198
a smile and under that navy blue suit of his, I could tell he was one 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaNK4prhCI
who had one heck of a body.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZEEirSfGq
I hadn't said a word and919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYJgY7mcmq
the car started to drive down the road when the young man offered his 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku2HGPD958
open hand. I stared at it and noticed a shiny gold Rolex on his left 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyNJVjHkqt
wrist. Who was this guy?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROp9iSZQ1A
"Aren't we going to shake hands?" he asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W2JZ4gysb
I opened my mouth but 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQE73H4MUg
then closed it again knowing that it was pointless to argue. I took his 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29GSOgThY3
hand and shook it, scared that I might receive a shocking zap from the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE6z7vsBmc
contact.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeflbBJDdl
"And you must be the guy I was talking to over the phone?" I asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9KpMPoQbf
"Yes, a pleasure to meet919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsBHkdBnWZ
your acquaintance." He lightly pressed his lips on the back of my palm 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYd9IJPAm7
and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT1psGovog
"I'm sorry we had to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfXGCIOdEO
meet under such awkward circumstances," he said as he leaned back in the919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvmteUeucF
fancy leathered seats. "But I needed to talk to you, and fast."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJFyZsO8vf
I looked at him and 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosmUKD1rs0
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL3kZXvETC
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4kZUj8KlZ
This guy right beside me looked like one of those handsome Greek gods we919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tObYAhvMU
hear about in mythical tales.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm52GYEyHq9
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with the corner of his lips raised up to a smile.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YLRxVSdoM
"I...uh." Yikes! I was 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwGeR0tf3H
caught looking at him. I blushed and turned to face the window beside 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfMqSeNhRl
me. "Nothing. This wasn't what I was expecting."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pnqtsITe2
There was silence and I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0dlTbCD1J
didn't want to look at him. He was obviously looking at me and that made919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJrfyonuwt
me play around with my fingers because I was nervous. Then I realised 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj76ElkDsWS
something.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5kGoALnYU
"You never told me your name," I said as I looked at him. Dang it! I wasn't supposed to look at him.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLVe2s0R4G
"Oh, silly me. Where are my manners? I'm Derrick."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWLkxK5T7w
"That's a weird name, given that you're French."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMOuD0w3kw
"I was born in the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Nh940TZ86
States and my parents preferred giving me this name even though they are919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f9BmaHsBR
both French. I grew up in France almost my whole life and my parents 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOczmjJs6N
are people who like to travel a lot for business. Building their 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkrL2s3NHV
business empire is what's so important to them."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kqywpYix6
"I can clearly see that," I said as I wondrously looked around in the car.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaPCnw7eWG
My expression might have amused him because he chuckled. I blushed as I pushed my glasses further up my nose and folded my arms.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZGS8NIw6I
"This is going to be fun," he said to himself.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIzpM2e8SL
I changed the topic. "About the photo, why did you want to see me?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAfHhzb92j
"Can we talk about this over lunch?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0IdCibsMw
"Lunch?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyecb38kqs
"Yes, lunch."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dxh2emig8
A moment ago, I wasn't in the mood for lunch. But now that he mentioned it, I was starving.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38bk9lZ3zv
"Lunch sounds good. But not in the open. I don't want to grab any attention."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KbStIeLNO
"Of course. I figured you would want that. Given that no one knows where you are anyway."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynggxpPspc
I raised an eyebrow at 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZVx7yR1RL
him. "You've been following me the whole time, haven't you? That's how 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz7b4tpv0L
you have been able to find me on the street."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxbcQoNpy1
He gave me that dashing 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifRGi1CweK
smile of his. "Of course. I just had to. I knew sooner or later that we 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijiPVhLH9h
would meet. I had to come prepared."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnJ845cjdG
"That's sounds creepy if you ask me," I said as looked out the window. "So, where are we going?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDs0F5op8n
"My apartment. It's much safer there."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdAarLCSFx
"You own an apartment?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17hG2j55pT
"Like I said, my parents travel around for world and South Korea, is one of their favourite spots."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJioJc3JZK
"So, it's their apartment then and not yours."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ifYPVzqcH
"They have their own apartment and I have mine."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCJGyNJ2CL
"Oh." I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcQmP7HFJc
"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM16hT1kLmJ
It was a huge apartment 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQVwhk0zVV
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ykZN211C7
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I0ePhSXu5
After the car parked, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35jU9XgRSD
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOTY9zexI9
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz67eDSloB0
car, Derrick held out his hand to help me out. I took his hand and I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzmSfWF8bz
came out of the car.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwpBJeC0HU
Derrick lead the way, 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZbMf7KjI0
still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoB34hDG8c
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhQn8fUH2H
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y9iQ0u3y7
Derrick pressed the elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVysYFEsFeL
When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedp4BHtHob
"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSRxVJiZNJ
"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RsTEbSxaf
"Everything," I said as I looked at him. "But one thing I don't get is why you're involving me in all this."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn1n1rjgxE
"But don't you want to know what's going on?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQu2jkK8GD
"Well, ya, I do! You're 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrsNetcoSa
the one who sent me the photo so I'm curious. Do you know what? It was 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgrM2rBBu2
best you didn't send it to me in the first place."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB0TjkNUIb
"Why?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVJsubpQaP
"Maybe then I wouldn't be here."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSTkVPIh9h
The elevator doors flew 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWtvQXi4Tk
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObVjfKbtiZ
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOkapuTswY
you were to see it for yourself, you would think you had just stepped 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNECMivyiq
into heaven.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxKiCx9p33
I stepped out of the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeePQroYwt
elevator and beautiful paintings lined up the walls. I noticed that the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8OfYJlxze
doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTpzhnDWN2
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYiIbRylko
soft red carpet.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB0SDdg9EI
"This place looks nice," I said as I walked down the hall.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllmwgz2nt7
"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU8Ve6NqDT
I looked down the hall 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTDWgVikxU
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9vr2etzbQ
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU8bu6TSzX
front of me stood a smartly dressed butler. It's like he knew I was 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj8rL7T9Gj
coming.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE7Jw757Kh
"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9VfYI1XRL
For a moment, I hesitated. Until I felt Derrick behind me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ59bYWHIE
"Ladies first," said Derrick.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTi74oxDfT
I gulped and took a step into his apartment.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MtmUIA3sT
"This place is very 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDQiMFobc4
nice," I said when I looked around the foyer and I when turned round the919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgycpw020jM
corner, there was lavishly looking sitting room with creamed coloured 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CyCPSLT7A
sofas with a glass coffee table and I huge smart screen TV pinned on the919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZDSkTPnIt
wall.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTOKFAAk1g
I looked to the other 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UOVIkRdkQ
side and there was a fancy looking table with a beautuful chandelier 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD6kmnFDEd
above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8dPcH6bbD
beautiful flower vases with orchids.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CqRKgE3I5
"I see you like 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurxFKmmgJF
orchids," I said as I went over to the flower vase close to the sitting 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCyqVh41c0
area and looked at the orchids. They were fresh and lovely.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWcE7SNzH2
"I know you like roses," said Derrick as he stared at me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4nwYafvMe
"Almost everything that celebrities like and don't like are always found on the internet." I rolled my eyes at him.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOfpDIA3Cl
"True, but I can tell what a woman likes and doesn't."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TOmcVuA0j
I gave him a smile that showed how impressed I was.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq6mygo39E
"Lunch is ready, sir," said the butler. "Should I serve the food?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjZrWis0SR
"Yes, please," sad Derrick.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4K69PYsde
The butler bowed and 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4Lw2XdjHn
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbavMVmRFD
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuo6O94F92
ground.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81krPdYj5d
"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPUJjN0wyU
"We are," said Derrick who came to join me by the window. "This place is lovely, isn't it?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEYLRblCA4
"Ya, it surly is." I knew he meant Seoul.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MNFUt8SnC
"Food is ready, Master Derrick," came the butler behind us.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDChWdJ2sDJ
"Shall we?" Derrick gestured his hand towards the dining table and I walked up to it with him following behind me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIDTdfhGUb
As we got to the dining 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhZl7dGy8x
table, Derrick pushed back a chair for me and I took my seat, removing 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLfnd7h3YH
my glasses and cap putting the glasses in my purse. I said thank you and919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZOJWkZjIZ
he sat at the head of the table right next to mine.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwroNxouIxc
The butler had served 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pr2ekjmon
our plates on the table and just by looking at the cutlery and napkins 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy3Sh68LPs
laid and folded neatly I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW6o7V0Xq2
fancy fairytale. The table was set to perfection and the wine glasses 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUpbGCW5E1
next to the plates were spotless.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO62fHKWmF
Dishes of food were 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCJ9mkf7wk
lined in the middle of the table and my mouth couldn't help but water. 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCkMJdDJeM
If I wasn't in such an elegant apartment, I would have just dug in and 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcNgZxFIPt
started to eat. I was really hungry. But for now, I had to act like a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr7Bmte6N4
lady.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3UBDsPMrX
The butler helped to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDOQTMWB9D
serve the food and I didn't hesitate eating right there and then. I made919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbk1jl1CTy
sure not to eat too much and take my time.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi62JGsxYgC
"This was really good," I said, after I was done with my food.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa0KhaJtuR
"France's finest traditional dishes," said Derrick with a smile.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7r2pbdU6C
"Now, about the issue at919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVkFKzCHTd
hand," I said, wiping the corner of my mouth with a napkin as the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp0ahSN0jD
butler came to take away my plate and also Derrick's.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbVSFqvNw9
"Let's talk then," said Derrick.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrz77cT4ur
"First of all, I need to know why you sent it to me."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypIGdbegJp
"Because as much as you don't want to get involved, it concerns you more than you can ever imagine."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedDslMsPa1
I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbYOsNLBSp
"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpO8RP9alJ
The photo showed Zoey in919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qxO0d8AYr
a some place that looked like a garden or a park and in front of her 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuJ4eleX72
stood a man I couldn't recognise. His face was hidden because his back 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOqy3zlKNH
faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ26T7ONT2K
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5MvOVpdYQ
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiO7cwQL94
"I know this isn't 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq5tuaM4sF
really supposed to concern me," I said as Derrick looked at the photo 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqowECsgwRi
and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaaMncwTuf
"That's my brother," Derrick answered.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7qBWuoPMW
Now that was a surprise. Derrick had a brother?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjGZ5MzGJn
"Wait? Brother?" I raised an eyebrow.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B8EkcrcVP
"Sadly, yes," said Derrick clearing his throat.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5omTj4GF3
I looked at the photo 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL6jup1KVv
again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7APLntX4W
Paris with G-Dragon and the others? And this person in the photo is your919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrkpfSlfOA
brother?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQisgdiT0L
I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfGk8ODAA1
"You never told me you had a brother," I said, looking at Derrick.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw1N6aPxMv
"We don't really get along," said Derrick.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XYvv1ozgk
"That figures," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Why?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilm4lMvlTN
"We have been different from each other since we were kids. You can't even tell that he and I are brothers."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfkByxTrEm
"So, what's do you think he wants with Zoey?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXHecAbSmL
"I have no idea but I know it's something serious."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG70Ah1rDht
"So, you're just assuming all this or what?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7EIgAf3GP
"I know my brother very 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadDEpxfLyG
well. I know something is going on between the two of them. I had my 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Owd7hGjSu
suspicions during the Chanel fashion show."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO5Y7BjU27
I then remembered the 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1277XKAwqr
time Zoey came back to Korea the following day after the fashion show. 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgpS3RL1eH
She was acting all weird and the way she had hugged me surprised me a 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyZ4HuI5Ef
little. And so did the others. Were these guys really in trouble?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk89lFwdW6N
"Are my brothers and Christine involved in this too?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7o31B8t43
"I can't be too sure. You have to ask them."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6bzkukEq7
"But that's strange. If 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKElV9y3moe
it's something so serious as you put it, they would have told me. I 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eaud22zpX
don't see the reason why they would hide."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEsB5fMHeo
"If it's anything concerning my brother, I suggest you find out what's going on and fast. I don't like it."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFaOYXCkEk
"But what if all this isn't that serious? In fact, what makes you think your brother is that dangerous enough to hurt us?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kf2ve8rQC
Derrick leaned back on his chair as he looked at me and I waited for him to answer.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPYfZVsQVP
"My brother isn't one person to mess around with. He is one person who threatens when things don't go his way."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaiteeu458
"You think he is threatening Zoey?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80CytnXbUT
"He did visit Zoey in that café, didn't he?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMuQQSAPjb
"Wait! That was him?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5gjXw9YuF
"Yes. I was there."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4WGwakNmp
"You were there too?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrfpYVxElK
"Yes. That's when I thought you should help me out with this."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1D067T6on
"But what if I can't?" I folded my arms919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi20fFD91BC
"Zoey is your best friend, isn't she?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlKmPNe2Vm
"She is."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6ge6HcHNe
"And wouldn't you like to help her out?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcc05ZBHx3
I was frustrated with the questions. "I would. But if she didn't tell me, then maybe it's not that serious."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYvHysT4Ad
"And do you really think she would?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNuGGzTjzk
I thought about his 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ9Mi5bawa
question for a moment. He was right. Some people wouldn't tell the truth919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZoUU6weOi
just to prevent the ones they love from getting hurt. Maybe that's what919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw7J6lZyaO
Zoey did and I was too silly not to have realised it sooner.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3gpTnofP2
"You're right," I said as I looked at my hands on my lap. She wasn't the only one who kept secrets.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUWxDVQQ0A
"Have you tried talking to your brother about this?" I asked.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcKeA82Rl7
"No. He doesn't know that I'm onto him. And knowing how he is, he isn't going to tell me anything."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJLeqAMTru
I tapped my fingers on the table and I took the glass of water that was next to me and I drank.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr1ntR1zg1
I had to think of something fast and I was running out of time. I had to get back to the studio within thirty minutes.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK3vo1rzi7
"Before I go, tell me 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83NakGDICM
all you know about what happened in Paris," I said as I looked at 919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMCQUWJfZP
Derrick, giving him the eye. "And don't leave anything out."
