Have you ever been awake897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWakhp626Tz
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBtOt2P5Ue
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SJ8ul7Fdw
day goes on?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSr18SEMs7
That's how I felt right at this moment.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUylfCpJ6GL
I tossed in my bed, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YIHmkvON5
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuijVN4ifN1
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewIN09ohN0
could come up so that I could meet my end already.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanUaXWDBBn
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL14m28Rto
I fell back on my bed, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27ivYxhfSn
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw9IbYpCl3
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzY7Jk7XLm
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpIvSjeYr4
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgSHEAsgWo
till sunrise, but waking up three times meant I was too bothered in my 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1SbpnYJXu
mind even to dream.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAUXB4AMQF
I turned to my other side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzPqOqAB9r
How I wish I could fall 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OBBHe5DAk
asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring slightly in her sleep. I897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI2alNtKLv
stared up at the dark ceiling trying to picture things in my mind but I897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZsAPPqF6B
couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't working.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnQFNuLowG
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTrSwX42pd
I knew I now had to face897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkaxw7UjCB
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkxF8Kd1d7
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and me. And even897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCCqK0zGIw
though she was tired when we got back, she still hadn't stopped 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pGufNCsMr
bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3JBtX1v6u
I knew her persistence 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF3dF0BaAA
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80P6nYQbH8
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxekkSlyZWg
her if I had to tell her the truth.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IhGpk1zyS
I know sometimes we 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbFuxTmky9
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPD03Ve980
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEm2ubEgqS
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTftSbt4to6
had now reached that point.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutTiMHeFmB
I sighed again as I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCg1FyiQgL
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAluw49GHd5
What wrong did I ever do to be in the position I was in right now?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZNw3nNx4E
If it came to G-Dragon, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS84gYDJBI
he was going to be one person who will be difficult to talk to. I know I897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRqs57LwCN
betrayed his trust, and trying to convince him was going to be a whole 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yNs42fy5E
lot harder.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiV3DyKyps
How was I going to tell 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8gnoDKTvf
him that yes, Daesung and I did kiss, but all of that happened due to a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0gvgA0tJA
completely different story? I know how bad he must be feeling and if I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx2F2eCpmz
was in his shoes, I probably wouldn't believe anything I would say 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtCQwZdSms
either.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH0HDcFKmI
I kicked out the bed 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMAXGb8e1Y
covers and got up from the bed. And taking Mr Panda with me and my 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVSg1mIBjL
phone, I slipped my feet into my bed slippers and walked out of the room897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngp5wgjy6u
in my purple pyjamas.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKvi4JL0eI
I went straight for the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix7ER27DLV
dark, empty lounge and I turned on the lights. I went to sit on the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbp2a5fp1S
comfortable couch and with my feet up and folded with Mr Panda in my 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahi7xEVqV5
arms, I unlocked my phone and went straight to my contacts and called my897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y8g6EmBle
mum.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCsexkwMOK
Hopefully, I was calling897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhK0PRypIB
her at the right time. I wasn't really sure what time it would be back 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDXkKxzaYH
home in the U.S. I was too bothered to even try and figure out all this 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa5UZOGw2T
time zones nonsense. I just had to talk to someone. And why not my mum?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9nTnmmLcQ
I put the phone to my ear hoping she would pick up. I just hope she wasn't busy at work or something.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg4ihWWqz1
She finally picked up the phone on the fourth ring.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QGFy3mRWV
"Hello, Sam?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35vdc0WNei
"Hi, mum."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH2DG947j0
"Sam, how are you, dear?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm21DvXLg4
"I'm good. How are you? Are you at work?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ86gEyObc
"Yes, I am, sweetie. I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkMx42cjPX
am just looking at photos online on the computer. A friend of mine just 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPZn2PuMPP
told me you guys went out bowling with BigBang."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PGTukcvHN
"Ah.." I scratched my head. "We did, mum. And we had fun."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡervLtH0Mhe
"Ya, I can see you guys 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4yX4texkl
smiling and laughing on the photos." I could hear clicking in the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseHn4iXFYN
background and that confirmed that she was tapping away on the mouse of 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYZ23Dzoh8
her computer as she looked at the pictures.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyadwACdqO
"So, was it more like a competition?" she asked. "It's says here that you guys won."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz66iAFHfAE
"It was mum. We won," I said with a smile. "You should have seen what happened. It was awesome."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazF2QQFpuK
"I'll check out the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLupQOAcqw
videos later on and see everything for myself, dear," I could hear my 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPknswbRRj
mum clicking quickly on the mouse. "Now tell me. What's bothering you? 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm75mrpeVVp
Why aren't you asleep?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYd4LaQkgC
I raised an eyebrow. "You know what time it is here?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1O4DuQMPM
"I'm your mother, Sam. Of course I know what time it is."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJwgJDI5oE
I could imagine my mum 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mn5uxkiv0
with a stern look on her face as she said that. If we weren't talking on897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ797hBMphUK
the phone and I was standing in front of her, she probably would have 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBrIfkf1sv
her arms folded.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpukb4DXzC
"I know its way too early in the morning for you to be awake right now," she continued. "What's up?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoB8IQHYw6
"I feel my whole life has been nothing but a lie, mum," I said as I tugged at Mr Panda's ears.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KsdrcJ7qx
"Your name is Samantha Glasson and you're a famous pop star. That my child, is not a lie."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iZSc55EMO
"Mum, you know what I mean when I say that."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyoveHtmif
She sighed. "What did you lie about this time?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYVD5FiKbX
"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."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoYiNEVn5o
"Tell me. I've all the time to listen."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU0pkPEPNd
"I've been lying to Zoey897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhen5YNAfJS
and everyone else about G-Dragon and I, and I don't now how to tell 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9ulqyd6MR
them, especially Zoey since she likes G-Dragon so much. It would crush 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEby9MFa4jv
her if she finds out G-Dragon likes me and not her."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGmsg9RgK2
"I thought you girls weren't supposed to date any one of those guys."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU1qK4soDv
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow. Collins really does tell you everything, does he?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eMeQkNzVV
"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."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXIZuBWU3L
"Trust me, mum, Collins 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kjLqfyYq1
has no clue with what's going on in our private circle and I suggest 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Xv4t8TZe
that you shouldn't say a word either."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGjHKEqcP7
"Is that a threat?" I imagined my mum's eyebrow raised.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJBg3xjgin
"You know I can never 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCqIK5hSX2
threaten you, mum. It's just for now until we come back home. It's a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZiDZQvr4J
matter of life and death. I've no choice."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCC5iJc0lF
"I know. But why does Zoey like him?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwz9wPQyWz
"Knowing Zoey, you must know by now the kind of guy she would fall for, mum."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn7tCllGgz
"True. But how come she likes him but he likes you? Don't tell me you also like him too."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEQCUeG4rR
"Well....." I hesitated, trying to figure out what to say next.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0CqQEpvZy
"Samantha Glasson," my mum's voice sounded stern now. "Tell me the truth."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR9zLLSy4d
I sighed. "I also like him, mum."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhhZ9fUeB2
There was silence at the other end. Until....897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRPGbd5Dqg
"WHAT!"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgAc7QmYKf
"Mum, calm down. It's not what you think."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAHbRwX7JB
"Then what is it? The 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbzzSWXu3M
way I'm seeing it, you also like him and you feel guilty because you 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo1E6plRti
feel like you're betraying your best friend."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DzjYslxd2
"It was like that at 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChEEE6xcBD
first. I really do like G-Dragon but I'm learning to like him as a close897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrC5RsklGx
friend because I know how Zoey likes him and because of Collins' 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJJK073f4d
'golden rule'." I put "golden rule" in quotation marks with my remaining897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb6RIVbj3E
fingers.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIKB29bKre
"What do you mean it was like that at first?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOnkQRzOIS
"I like G-Dragon, but he isn't the only one."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenLg1PmQjO
"Don't tell me you like someone else from the same group too."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnJYHKBebC
I closed my eyes as I winced. "Yes, mum."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr0Q5VdJA5
She didn't say a word. I wondered what she was thinking right now.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnfY4If6ID
"You're really in one hell of a mess, dear."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgwXXpXpET
"And that's not the worst part."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymLvZJgUsR
I told her what happened897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfLjLx6sti
the day Zoey went missing, making sure I didn't mention the stranger in897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYI5eNcTu8
the suit. I talked about what G-Dragon and I had talked about in the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPORukK3Ed
park and what we agreed upon. Then I told her what happened with Daesung897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPZ4QG60u4
and the kiss.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw4p330Dlj
"You kissed?" my mum sounded surprised.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ75ee1d4ck
"Ssh, and listen."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXdN12ymWp
I told her that G-Dragon and Zoey saw us but they didn't witness the kiss. And I told her what happened afterwards.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkU7p9sjCC
"You're in a real mess, Sam. You now have two people to tell the truth to."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPQLnzRe94
"If it's not Zoey and G-Dragon, then it's the entire group."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr35NswKuC
"I know. But you can't lie forever now, can you?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKgt4Dd7yC
I thought of what she said. "You're right. We all deserve to know the truth someday."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQZN5CMPEq
"Are you scared?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzt0JGGghK
"I am. Maybe that's why I can't fall asleep." I hugged Mr Panda close to me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxSve7b7Rh
"It's okay to be scared, sweetie. And it's good that you decided to come out clean."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY2VSpxXnE
"I don't want people getting hurt because of me." I could now feel tears coming up in my eyes.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8TZOSZSbw
"We all get hurt at some897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhipq5OweQh
point in our lives, sweetie. That's why there is a time for everything.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiQihzm3WJ
Just wait and see. After the storm, everything will be back to the way 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv9DDMAXYy
it was and everyone will forget about it. Besides, no one can stay mad 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZajWNKLcf
at you forever, Sam. Not even me."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEdARkhpCl
I smiled as a tear ran down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5soGrE9Y8
"Thanks, mum." I sniffed.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtekwD3sOY
"Don't cry, okay? You're897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSNmxXfR5q
a brave girl. Now, do me a favour and get a few minutes of sleep. You 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFJbt4h1bi
will need all the rest you can get."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnUjrpSzu3
"Yes, mum. I will."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbWZzq6mZH
"Bye, Sam. Tell me what happens, okay?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDGqwSNU7P
"Okay. Bye."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfUYBEwxjr
I hang up and I quickly 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth75HuHLK5
got up from the couch with Mr Panda and went back in the room, straight 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDEScYxipG
into the bed covers. I fell asleep in an instant with Mr Panda in my 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0FGnFa4f5
arms.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cnHobVjHW
It must have been some 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gaMbYsOC9
time around 7:40 when I finally woke up. The sun rays shone brightly 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY237wtmO5S
into the room that I had to shield my eyes with my hand from the light.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IAPgLOIr8
"Wakey! Wakey!" Zoey came over and sat next to me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSALIiDWXiN
"Mmmm." I murmered as I turned around and covered my head with a blanket. "Leave me alone."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKSog66BT8
"You've to get up, Sam. We have a big day ahead of us."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg94i5JH8R
"Isn't it a Sunday today?" I asked as I removed the blanket from my head.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4MHXDxnNq
"Sadly, it isn't, my 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVRKPBEzAH
dear kitty," said Zoey as she placed her hand on my head. "Looks like 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9f2nCT0Fg
you weren't the only one praying for it to be a Sunday."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEoCbhhVcs
"Okay." I muttered as I sat up on my bed and rubbed away the sleep in my eyes.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE2jqqfgHf
"You know you have a lot of explaining to do, right?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4bkSjZCvC
I yawned, then sighed. "I know. You don't have to tell me."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRYzTreR3R
"So, start talking right now."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwzBQfGKgi
I looked at Zoey with wide eyes. "You want to talk now?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iOknD8Xdw
"Ya. I'm still really worried about you."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaw4NJGSLN
Looks like I had no choice. This was it. Time to tell the truth.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwttlCy8pC
"What I'm about to tell you, is going to crush you completely, Zoey."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y6tJ5ONn2
Zoey turned to look at me with a serious look on her face. "What are you saying, Sam? Is it that serious?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf4mtk0x24
"It really is, and I feel bad that I have to tell you."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZaVi0wJPn
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZwHJDNgR8
"Just tell me, Sam. Even if it's going to hurt."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3952widMtz
I closed my eyes bracing myself for impact. My heart was pounding so hard.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNdQYxKBkA
"It's about G-Dragon and I," I said. "I'm sorry to say this but...."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6jZphBkCk
"You like him, don't you?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZI2eLPYVC
I opened my eyes in shock. That wasn't supposed to happen. And what made Zoey say all that?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7B6ediCst
"I..uh...no, that's not it."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWPuDD8VeJ
Zoey laughed. "Don't worry, Sam. I know how much you also like him. I'm not mad."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISLH7bKzuF
"Zoey, that wasn't what I...."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurrwQrSuG7
"Expected from me?" Zoey897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcKPXhfQWC
grinned as she flipped her hair to the side. "I know, you're surprised.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyzPUz889O
I like him, you like him, the whole world likes him."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKnI2SCbGd
"Zoey, I..." Zoey placed her index finger on my lips to keep me from talking further.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02RXYe4mhN
"I know you feel guilty 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyCrqaZ510
that you like him because I do too. Don't worry about it, because I know897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEltIHS7ffk
that you wouldn't try to steal him away from me."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15XhZCzQFd
I gulped. What was I going to tell her now? How was I going to her that G-Dragon liked me and not her?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBzt3LRr9y
"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wBIK4Zo4A
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."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBULlYfFSsE
I wanted to slap my 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaLiiz37tn
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeAxb37VEW
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Ct7jZCEc
it gets out of hand.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Ley4blcR
"Zoey, listen to me," I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueoQZx2Cbk
said as I looked at her in the eye. "I admit that I like G-Dragon, but 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj3ymJnyre
not in the way you think. You on the other hand, need to know that...."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuBevXA7Px
I paused. That was odd. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qoJQsdLsK
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkjFCYKFUN
felt someone had just cast a spell on me and now I was tongue tied.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vUZ2aZV0H
Zoey looked at me, irritated that I had stopped talking. "What do I need to know?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9u2iLy1vd
What was wrong with me? I897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LUFjnEDph
had so much confidence when I was talking just now and I still do. But 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnCGpC4Ar7
now, I couldn't say anything. I opened my mouth to speak, but still 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAGQ3J8hGX
nothing came out. Zoey shook her head.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADEr3V8ItX
"You're weird, Sam," 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wFAyTkWTH
Zoey stood up from my bed and went straight for the bathroom. "When you 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojP4sLRPg4
finally have the courage to tell me what you wanted to say, I'll be 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaiguJ1Jp1
waiting."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbHj5lK4fd
Zoey closed the door and897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymRD2Jf7uG
I heard the shower tap turn on. Oh no! I blew it this time and that 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu9B5eBNH3
just proves that telling her the truth was going to be a whole lot 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2m2d2zOK8
harder than I thought.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dPIoxTbct
At least Zoey knew that I once liked G-Dragon, that's if she really took what I said seriously.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSTCknDryQ
This was all so messed up and I felt like I was going nuts.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfwmSQBl49
I stood up from my bed 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljktT7xJz7
and started to pace up and down, thinking. What happened to me a few 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwHql3aniQ
minutes ago? Why couldn't I tell Zoey the truth? Well, half of it, which897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCxWk2256E
is the most important part.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgI3dgxAzf
"It's not your portion to say anything to Zoey. And you know it."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgHOFuchgN
Whatever my conscious 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSieJnuNOf
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAnYqTI95u
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that why I was tongue tied 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNtUjPMUXr
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJL9lFu5qJ
If that was the case, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoHCBfam0E
then G-Dragon better do it fast. The earlier it was, the better. Before 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie9MJupRc5
Zoey really gets too much involved with him or else she would be 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLts8xsJQ4
shattered completely.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRoBXkRIb5
While I was trying to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo39ZXEPcjp
figure out what to do next, my phone rang and I went on the bed to reach897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yDaaxJlrp
out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6syX5uiBR
When I checked the caller ID, I raised an eyebrow. An unknown number. I wonder who it was?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPByDXul7ki
I answered the call. "Hello?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOiAyhm9XF
"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZP7BjLIER
I held my breath. That 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKktOF30bL
sent a chill down my spine. Who was this? Dang it! I'm supposed to be 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxqpyfs9CE
asking that question, not thinking it.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVHeis2afm
I cleared my throat. "Hello? May I know who this is?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxujOF9dJd
The man chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What matters is that we talk."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyH2AVYbLn
"Talk? Talk about what?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBsNwlWixG
"Did you check the photo I sent you?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPysLAROYc
"Photo? What...?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y4auzDfAD
I paused when I realised the photo he was talking about. I had completely forgot about it.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt2NoDBjg6
"Oh!" I slapped my forehead. "I never downloaded it to see what it was." I raised an eyebrow. "What's the photo about?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8O3cAkRGF
"If you haven't seen it,897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxDuaMw0yn
then it's best you see it for yourself. I can't tell you over the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZQJ0YMSlM
phone. When you see it call me or text, will you, sweetheart?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQzPFUdVBW
Sweetheart? What was this guy playing at? What was the photo all about?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPRXtpuS5k
"Are you trying to blackmail me with the photo?" I asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZhiJ6jbFG
"I wouldn't call it blackmail. But everything would be more interesting if you're involved."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbdTgBUs3q
"If I'm involved? What do you mean?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7GLMMwmtZ
I could soon hear the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqMKDIlMwr
person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNQa0Qni3P
break it. What was going on today? First, I had G-Dragon and Zoey to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLjdFfbd8q
handle and now, I had this stranger calling me and making things worse.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uAqvRse6E
I looked back at my 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSAKJxvNss
phone and started to go straight to my messages. I checked the message I897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nb52fnrVN
had received from the unknown man and I realised that I still hadn't 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblYWs81IiK
downloaded the picture. I switched on my mobile data and started to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DkGAh74zW
download the photo.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NRXweKhg9
"Sam! Zoey!" Lee came all of the sudden into the room. She almost scared me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7gmYJfOa8
"Goodness, Lee!" I held my chest as my heart beat fast. "There is a thing called knocking, you know?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtDWibIbAZ
"I know, I thought you guys were still asleep."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChiFR81nLG
"No matter," I said. "We're all awake as you can see."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxAueo8p1C
"Okay. Get ready, we have to leave for the studio."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSfZUEqOZL
I nodded and Lee left. I897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKs8p8CHvJ
went back to looking at my phone. I frowned. The internet was so slow 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUrgEj1JE3
today. The photo hadn't finished downloading yet.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sC2DQMrJE
"I'm done," said Zoey as she came out of the bathroom in her towel. "You go get ready."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rDBWdv1vW
"I just want to see something first," I said as I pointed at my phone.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYB34Kph6M
Zoey walked up to me, took my phone and threw it on her bed.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm8tnaGTwS
"Zoey!"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTEulxP8IU
"Not a word, Sam. You're897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6gh725smX
always the one telling me to get ready and be punctual, but you don't 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7culuoAVsd
want anyone telling you anything. Just go take a shower. I wonder what's897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlS5FdLieL
up with you today."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1BRx4NWH1
If only she knew. So 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ5U18e8D3
many things were running in my mind that I couldn't seem to focus on one897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bEtibgzGK
thing because something else would just pop up all of the sudden.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rJ8fb5DQn
I went to the bathroom 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBNcyoBkaM
and locked the door behind me. Before I could undress and get into the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiTaWwH4pO
shower, I went over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my own 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJcVyHsmwK
reflection.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeCEOALOUu
I looked like I hadn't 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rMvevBluK
had sleep in days with all the dark circles underneath my eyes. I was 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5gt83ono7
deeply troubled, that's for sure. My problems just got increased by one 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjX8OBWeEY
if not by two.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lAnYfaPfk
G-Dragon and Zoey were 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFyWBuekZX
my main problem to tackle today. And all of the sudden, an unknown 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JJx0ONARf
stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd7QyXHR2S
about. And why he sent it to me was the most confusing part. If he 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJekzl0Sdk
wasn't blackmailing me, then what was this charade about?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwZ3ogKbi0
After I took a quick 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZNSCkSIqe
shower, I quickly went back in the room and I went straight for my phone897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8WbzFoich
on Zoey's bed. Zoey had already dressed up and she went past me into 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXuBPUIwsP
the bathroom to get her makeup done.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcMmpLOoXO
I unlocked my phone. I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03f5Y3TuEM
was pretty anxious about the photo that even my hands were shaking. The 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OiiWneZfJ
photo must be done downloading by now.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN7rdmNkoB
Just as I unlocked the phone, it vibrated. Someone was calling me. Oh no! What now?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXFMBQ04Gq
Seungri was calling. What could he probably want to talk to me about this early in the morning?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV5aq8uMly
"Hello, Seungri?" I answered.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjDNS2VtwO
"Morning, my panda," said Seungri.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQFUILCAkI
"Morning. How was your night?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzC3eoxETH
"My night was perfect, since I dreamt of you."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrohuK2JU1c
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0khPIOabiK
"Oh, wow," I said, trying to act a little surprised. I hope he bought it.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnhBoH1U6P
"I've a little something I want to give you when you get to YG."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIhhb0x0j6
I smiled a little. At 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonmdUrrSId
least out of all that was going on, Seungri managed to make me smile, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcQh9yGkDs
which was quiet peculiar because he didn't say anything funny. I was 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0KyT2TOW3
already imagining another huge stuffed panda waiting for me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtHckZElBi
"Can't wait," I said with a little laugh. "See you."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyhJbZnART
"You too."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEi1dm2FqK
He cut the line and I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe1AFGMZ0D
threw my phone on the bed. I decided to dress up first and have my 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gJaxv6jLU
breakfast, before Zoey came back in the room and start to pressurise me 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wqcnmPbY6
again. I had already pissed her enough this morning.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aTN5fZFWA
After I dressed up and 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAP5nqVKEE
Zoey had left for breakfast, I went in the bathroom to get my hair done 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGcXKXcHdn
and applied a bit of makeup to hide my dark circles. When I was done, I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVmB3MS3JQ
went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbozCOiXiw
always did, I wore my black pumps, grabbed my phone and went out of the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XIQe9NsLm
room.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXilvTBBGt7
Just as I got into the lounge, I made a bee line to the dining table. Everyone was at the table eating their breakfast.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNAKlyFxxv
"Someone isn't themselves this morning," said Collins as he watched me approach the dining table.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLGcs5ETuy
I knew he was talking about how late I was today. I was usually the earliest to be at the dining table.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPSlXlr7Cy
"Sorry," I said as sat down next to Lee. "I was pretty bummed up, that's why."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSSMvlZtLv
"No pressure, just eat up, we have a lot of work to do today."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF5uxJoIRs
There was a variety of breakfast options today and I decided to take some cereal, which I haven't had in a while.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgOwVQwIU0
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrjWKW8Vmd
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhOg5rXIzX
I looked at everyone at the table and when they didn't say a word, I shrugged my shoulders.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFk2ptgdoD
"What?" I asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzQXVRa7Sj
Mike who sat opposite me cleared his throat. "You're eating cereal."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfg7cykPsc
I frowned. "So?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBNaVsO26E
"But there is bacon and eggs with toast," said Daniel.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1UqxAQDmb
I was still confused. "So?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd5PrDXT3N
"You usually don't eat cereal when there is bacon, eggs and toast," said Collins.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyIqBulWlk
"And cereal is kind of like my thing," said Daniel.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2KBhNAdet
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?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k1lQ2PD4k
"I don't see the harm in897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgws1Bxn2rg
eating cereal. I have oatmeal whenever I feel like it and that's still 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nCkVSLzmL
cereal," I said. "I just wanted something different for a change. Is 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiGmuOgIzh
that wrong?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTru4QJo41c
Everyone else looked at each other and then they looked back at me, shaking their heads.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L0mqcdHoq
"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."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckvDKblyrb
"I can see that," said 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2SuaddeiL
Zoey as she drank from her cup of coffee. I knew she was making fun of 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxuyez52Gk
me but I decided not to say anything.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQAgcx7coH
When we were done with 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4O8qqdmAi
breakfast, we headed downstairs in the lobby and the black SUV was 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcScW1Wuss
waiting for us as usual. When we got in, I made sure to take the back 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcqbU7oouw
seat with my brothers next to the window so that I would avoid people 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pw2KfUN5N
looking at my phone.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhrmCOu7cq
When everyone in the car897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIWpqZz28x
was engrossed in some conversation that I had no interest in joining in897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5qg2U22XY
or listening to, I decided to check my phone. The photo was done 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYnuovPgkf
downloading and what I saw made my mouth drop and my eyes pop.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q5xqi1bb8
"What's wrong, Sam?" Mike who sat next to me asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiMSnawiHW
I quickly pressed the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qdGlevHGQ
power button on the side of the phone and blacked the screen. Mike was 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgOgHiGEyq
already leaning onto my side to see what was on my phone.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrA89LmomD
"Nothing, just some scary video," I said.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0SM8gaucC
"May I see?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LivUGVK4N
"No. You won't be sleeping for the next two days."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6edjJMcMr6
"I've watched horror movies before. I can handle a little scare."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv99ukecOSu
"No can do, bro," I said as I put my phone into my purse that I had decided to carry with me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtW1vO1tub
Mike leaned back and folded his arms. "Whatever."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkIzbADpaM
I wish I could tell him 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI57wwiWJR
and everyone else what was going on. But at the moment, I felt like 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7mXjLopCf
keeping everything to myself, not after what I had seen.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0HznXiHMX
Now that I had seen the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv5fzANYG5
photo, I had to meet up with the stranger and talk about all this. But 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMTzLknR5R
where to meet the person and when was going to be a hustle. It was 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNBa0iiA0w
pretty obvious that I had to meet him alone.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQGnqXqHLL
Speaking of which, I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5PCTRdVrN
still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMBibyy4al
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVWiOAsqds
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qXT6ll7bv
choreography today. This was hectic. And I knew that if I was pushed 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3whyybkjt
further onto the edge, I would burst.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgECzNEc37d
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs21HcNZYk
My heart skipped a beat.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlLoXqNgh3
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZT8lLsdf2
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNDOLDRe3o
choice.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2KFrqmQhT
As soon as I stepped out897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM7Gdyuq9y
of the vehicle, I took a deep breath as I looked at the entrance. I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBL04dLUQ4
felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkozHTeLI0m
"Are you okay, Sam?" Christine asked as she came to stand in front of me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Or9OS2KE5
"I'm fine," I said. "I just realised that I haven't really thought of any ideas for the music video."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfBlqQPxAC
"You're aren't the only 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMCAv5V4xk
one," Christine said with a smile. "Let's just hope our minds will get 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFCybRTC7d
to work on that when we get in there."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmLCIpoqmM
I managed to put up a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOVXrOvfsv
smile, but I knew my mind wasn't going to be on full throttle today. How897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhRLbKJbyX
I wish this wasn't happening to me right now.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlVgGAfqAy
As I came into the lobby897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDbeTva5Yz
with Christine, we found Collins talking to the receptionist. The rest 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoGBk1zEbO
were heading towards the elevator and we joined them.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ6X7C2uP5
"You will be going up to the dance studio," Collins said as he turned to us. "The others are waiting for you there."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybw30sTnXw
"Okay," the others responded. I for one felt really jumpy at the moment.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpHkqwSp5W
We all got in the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvus8L3K98S
elevator and Mike was busy talking about some dance moves he had come up897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZiyGgSRm4
with and I wasn't really paying attention though I did get one or two 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWZeBAIP6G
things.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2BC8AVNPg
We got to the dance 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzC6WKOPYH
studio while Lee and Collins decided to go upstairs to meet with Yang 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SOkIpnWC3
Hyun-suk. We checked a few dance studios before we finally found them.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6pAhVzQ7f
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted so enthusiastically as we came in the room.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8qqUZ4YYn
I was too lost in 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXorst3c3c
thought to even reply to the other's greetings until Seungri came up to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg48zsApqWj
me and hugged me. That brought me right back down to earth.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70vNWxbxXX
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seungri asked, still hugging me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTMhRhOyQj
"I'm fine," I said, as I pulled myself away.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtb6L7GNc6
"If I know you well, you look pretty occupied in that head of yours," said TOP as he walked up to us.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Ylbt5Hhk
"Tell me about it," said897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4LfrNkAht
Zoey as she was now on the floor with Daesung standing right beside her897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4Xdo0tgwP
and she was removing her shoes. "She's been weird all morning."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ6omBhrXN
"How weird?" Taeyang asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc573TidUMZ
"Too weird," said Daniel.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPChV954ZN
"Cut me some slack, guys," I said. I looked at Taeyang. "They are just saying nonsense."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRBf6zdnaH
"Says the person who was so late to wake up today," said Zoey.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaGk7dmQ9T
"And ate sweet cereal for breakfast instead of bacon, eggs and toast," said Christine.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CFJvjI3xC
"And refused to give me her phone to check out what she was watching," said Mike.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FuJQobEEU
I shrugged. "So? And Mike, seriously? Just over a phone?" I shook my head at my brother.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ2rjaOl1c
"It's not like you, Sam," said Daniel. "That's all we are trying to say."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm6K2N4IkP
I rubbed my forehead. "Look, guys, I'm just a little bummed out because of yesterday. Is that so wrong?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVYRZ9Ewh7
"No, I think something is bothering you," said Zoey, still on the floor.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOwlfAdIVP
"I'm fine. Trust me. My mind is pretty tired."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkOztwppqF
"Come on, guys, let's not stress her out because of this," said Daesung. "If she says she is tired, then she is."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqJ2t8MDwu
Zoey slapped Daesung's leg with her hand and Daesung looked down at her. "Don't try to defend her."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Yox7qbVy
"I'm not."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJgAECBDhZ
Zoey snickered at him and I knew why. She still remembered the little incident yesterday with Daesung and me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP2RfwlyH3
"Where is G-Dragon?" Daniel asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa2ywjlGZ9
I looked around the room and I noticed that GD was the only group member who wasn't here.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7IoYVvay9
"He went to get the choreographer," TOP answered.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2KvhQZeMZ
"Now, Sam, about your little problem...." said Mike, turning to face me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzQRsUzZqc
"Not now, Mike," I said as I folded my arms. "You can attack me later, just not now."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoK3fVMVwp
"Not to worry, my little kitty," said Seungri who stood right behind me. "Maybe this will cheer you up."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iOjP4YHUa
Before I could turn 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7mTEM8fJt
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDoPZAmkfi
head. My hand reached up for whatever it was.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FqyaRwa8h
"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYnHAaIIWq
I took the crown from 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPixrJkAPE
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VytYmyeIU
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb97cAn0ghB
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApV85Fm0Hd
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUXoKH1OEv
"Wait, are these real diamonds?" I asked as I turned to look at Seungri with a surprised look on my face.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjZWnvZtli
"It is," said Seungri 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0EoFWWxp9
with a huge smile on his face. "And I know how much you value sapphire 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY297zI9oes
stones because it's your birth stone."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5GGleYHZy
"Aww! Thank you so much,897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4p5iXjYja
Seungri!" I gave him a hug and I couldn't stop smiling. Somehow, I knew897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlAc7Rb1mi
he was going to brighten up my day today.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQKZ8MdhRZ
"So pretty, let me see," said Christine, as she came and took the crown from my hand. "Wow!"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r2IKqnHGE
"I want to wear it," 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfMuVdEg6b
said Zoey as she got up from the floor and rushed to look at the crown. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil6JOwsuai
Christine put the crown on Zoey's head.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJdnqu5PI1
"Don't I look like a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcJF5wFa3H
true queen?" Zoey asked as she looked at her reflection through the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOpnSvWIBC
studio mirrors that lined up the walls of the room.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YBM4T5Ryf
"You look like that evil witch in those fairy tale fantasy movies," said Mike.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tYsNyxrRU
"Haha, very funny," Zoey said as she turned to look at Mike.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CBkw1Qy7W
"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhmVOhd6JA
"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiUk5JNVpu
"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAh1vmzeAf
"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2QPLEdOQA
"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq05WHHsmtV
"May her royal majesty 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIrjMQcCh4
get her crown back?" Taeyang asked as he came behind Christine and took 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmKjw9N67V
the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOf8PTY1bh
"Oh, hail the queen!" Taeyang chanted and I broke into a laugh, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtUGitAMo0
"Stop it, will you? You're making me blush," I said, trying to cover my laugh with my hand.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m3FRCBeMf
"You look just like a real queen, Sam," said TOP.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK0jDWqxIT
"Thanks." I was still blushing like crazy.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYytZA1K2pi
"Let me take a photo," said Daesung, pulling out his phone.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKcznh53VH
"Ya. The whole world should see the queen of k-pop," said Zoey.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8FZwBR6mN
"Are you really calling me that?" I asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5HarYwR51
"We did win last night, didn't we?" Zoey asked. "Of course I'm calling you that."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66U2BqoLEg
I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't really taking it that seriously. It was nothing but a game."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPIukLFsrK
"A game we won. Cheer up. We are all kings and queens with you."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ahiZrcrbf
I looked on at Zoey trying to smile as best as I could, but somehow I couldn't.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2EQj3tLPM
She couldn't tell the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA9qHc90Gl
look on my face because she didn't even ask. Daesung went ahead and took897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVsQTxFwPE
pictures of me, and then we huddled together as a group to take a group897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyI9jIENbZ
photo with me in the middle.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF8n6aCZHI
"Hey, what's going on here?" G-Dragon asked as he came in the room.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmkpZuFC50
"Taking photos with the queen," said Daniel.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLprRyWEaU
"The queen?" G-Dragon looked confused until he saw the crown on top of my head. "Oh..."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ2BPhaxYe
"It's pretty, isn't it?" Zoey asked. "You should also get me one."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4xBamWT0k
"I can make a gold one if you want," said G-Dragon.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA5owN2wCa
Zoey smiled. "Even better."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqoMsIaQX0
G-Dragon turned to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKvWBNmeVp
Taeyang. "The choreographer is going to be here any moment now. So I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNOHAJOiYL
suggest we bring out your ideas if you have any. We can start without 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtJ7oWJPxX
him and he will find us."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe9FUQDeHD
"Mike told me over the phone earlier that he had some brand ideas," said Taeyang.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ozioqNpR
"Ya, I do," said Mike. "You guys just watch. I have the song in my phone so I'll play it from there."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdEHK1Zuc4
We all stood on one side897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJnJVOr0YB
of the room while Mike took off his jacket and got his phone to search 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89G1RQeH3s
for the track. He gave Daniel to hold the phone and when he positioned 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj0ryfidIQ
himself in the middle of the room and turned to look at us.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzEfWkuZCR
"So, I was thinking, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIeDVhZd9F
since G-Dragon and Zoey start the first verse, they should open up the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMCjT45Yw5
dance floor. So, I need someone to act as Zoey so that I could show you 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3wh3LaalT
guys."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVnExDdAT8
Christine came forward 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IgfxvZfNU
and Mike gave her a few instructions on what to do. She nodded her head 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1zInLgTA0
and Mike told Daniel to press the play button on cue.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznys6mbBDc
With Christine and Mike 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDILLeiViY
each facing opposite directions with their backs touching, the music 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx7z5SQ90I
started to play. Still not looking at each other, the two started the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc1P7K7zYa
dance with each of them taking a step forward, breaking the contact 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKtRwylqvM
between them and then like a powerful force pulling them, they dragged 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cMRQ7SllD
themselves back and they again their backs touched.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb29oLzJ36s
With a bit of skilful 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqlG3MLSw2
footwork, they turned to face each other and with their hands, they drew897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7jdZPkNeS
closer and then skidded away from each other with their hands in the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PyN8Rtz6j
air.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwpOxImKWC
"Then you guys will come in through the middle then make a formation in front."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17lUm4UFlV
"That's pretty awesome," said Taeyang.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kQB1dSkS7
"Very smart," said G-Dragon.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAYLT2NxMS
"Let's practise that," said Zoey taking G-Dragon's hand and taking him in the middle of the dance floor.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWLqaSgpxS
"I'll take you through the moves," said Mike as he faced them.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BhGWanmQW
"Your brother is a total genius, isn't he?" TOP asked as he stood next to me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhmGjkUXPt
"Ya, he is," I said with a smile.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ebV9k7cyn
The door soon opened and897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oJ6Xq3I69
the person who I guessed was our choreographer walked in. We stopped 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCpdGMHirp
what we were doing and bowed as he came further in the room.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsop7oAJCYO
"So, I see you guys are already getting started," said the choreographer.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhkrpZ0yli
"Yes, we are," said Seungri.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nlwk6hCeU
"Okay, let me see what you have done so far."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuXIeGllnD
Mike and Christine 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3R2Gnmmbd
stepped forward and the music playing on Mikes phone, they did the dance897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIR4fENqDC
routine. After their hands broke apart, Mike explained how the rest of 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXIHsMJ1VN
us will come in the scene.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev3FcxYTAY
"Mmmm," the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUaX5wpYeN
choreographer looked on at Mike as he tapped his chin. For a moment I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1VvQkKZJ6
thought he was going to say something bad, but he didn't.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZQCc2nl5I
"I like it," said the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSVs5L1HSX
choreographer. "So far, the starting part is brilliant. I wouldn't have 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEofQGhYyT6
thought of anything better. Now let's see if Zoey and G-Dragon could 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfyHkaVNYG
quickly work on their moves then we will come to the part when everyone 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUDXxcE5eZ
comes in."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQqIe5FAJl
Zoey and G-Dragon took 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Gx5ZvjUG
to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUCCtKnd3e
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC4zQCMK5d
were perfect.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJmcnqKUVp
"Excellent," said the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lF2F2hcLN
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1pgXx2Zjd
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0uxYudpBB
them like a doorway. We will come in a straight line and then make a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjcVxINo1g
formation in front of them."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdlKwJdiIK
We did as the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQIria86hX
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlonA536b1n
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VMVpfbAEe
the hang of it.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hi8MgJz7Y
A few minutes later, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNGYrjtGpP
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06rrIWOihC
that we can take a break with some of us with our backs on the floor and897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFAzdmECFo
staring at the ceiling. Others were seated.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdATtYW6jb
"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObs2Y7r6SG
I laughed, also staring 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCNlcJVa00
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TnWSM4XgR
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z7TWR0Ag2
"Ya, true," said Christine who also had her back on the floor and laid a few feet away from me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P496De7fL
Speaking of problems, I completely forgot about that French guy.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTzL4fIKky
I quickly scrambled up 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONs59NMWrD
from the floor passing Mike and Taeyang who were seated on the floor and897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTZpQEg2s8
still talking about the dance moves. I went to the corner of the room 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmClvnjzhSz
where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ6nZMmeuY
and removed my phone.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIZCr3Ca6n
I sent a message to the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1v5RC9x1J
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0kULmWoBq
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBbxIAf8YX
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhPqwWqbE8
"Good. We should meet."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIbQk9dUiS
Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE98MU9wP5Y
"I can't see you today. I'm kind of busy."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOHb3I7WwT
"But this is a very important issue, Sam."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy1tF2Ab5N
Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yYqG8HkGJ
I texted, "what happens if I don't meet with you today?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnCzfQnqEZ
"You're one smart 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibQktJuHbK
girl. I don't have to explain because you know what will happen when the897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVeFyjsW4P
whole world sees this. It's today or never. And never comes with 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaYXy0piuO
consequences."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuDer2S4MY
I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgogvtGqQm
"Fine. I'll tell you when to meet when I'm done."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2HUaldgJJ
"That's my girl."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMVwGUy6ST
I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB209UnPacq
As I tucked my phone 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡradlDJ20QS
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z977oZ8de
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlRP0hWohW
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhqOlABdDf
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYg3XDRRxS
I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6EIvpEbZk
When they both turned to897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9mdhindhQ
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx2r29XUoG
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkv88HQ5HN
couldn't help but feel that they were.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWeeH4kwNu
I laid back down 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXuxnxo5NB
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ARVBdKkUm
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6GnAeGyfj
two of us had in our room this morning?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUExntGOEI6
Yikes! If she did, then I897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnsidYjIx4
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgREzwbqCjp
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2RkanEw8X
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc9boH8APl
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1BSEpSa6A
Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK6Y4uVQNL
"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY6SIShqTk
"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ePPlMwVQ5
"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvXQVZL7UG
Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9EgTqjA9c
"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS1297O3MR
"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH35w3NRW1p
"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEwmWY4LvB
"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpfASTINOZ
"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX5nw5gbB6
"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUSuUrF6HZ
"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1oMXHrWaV
"No. It sounds great."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJYiUo9qGk
"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO3HdhdYc3
"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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl0w0tvdft
"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhVI1D4xT1
"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfoWiKfCRa
"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSrfujv4p1
"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLM7Eh4wHH
"True," said Taeyang.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpfZgiAFMb
"Okay," I said, feeling a897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHsWeLv7l4
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp2hHV3NFY
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtZL6ujgFM
"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBDyUxcyAo
After the three had 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweEE2aSA7O
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFXH8Avsud
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyFX26MhsE
While we waited, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCaTrTnkm4
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXsOiJ7OB5
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr0tGVIas7
expression on his face.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu5jhFpqOT
"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRH6EdJvLa
He sounded serious and I897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AQz0tST2G
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEif9vIJsBe
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDfDOaQPff
"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZKfnRybsT
I got up from the floor 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBIsq91qj4
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyvWXuVy9W
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbysmweVw5
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWLZFFp6cl
I found G-Dragon three 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QYrVDvZly
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALSAVePLuG
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHfzruPNCz
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt01pwVvItI
close.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xjEi2zPqH
"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQDsKk95cb
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokEBOJYPKo
"It's about Zoey," he said.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKtvPAT2Yz
I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRjiaihN0W
"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?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKeLwQUiZe
"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uq2Iz7jaT
"Really? That's all you can say?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvBJvzlVm6
"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoyQuH9in3
"But you almost had."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M94FOg7kj
"Yet I couldn't."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC5XlzbzKm
"Zoey is right. You're 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9N06rMhQE
been acting really weird today. Weird enough to tell her the truth when 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrqP9dP4kn
you know I was supposed to do it."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHbueI9NEL
"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarWDDS6WEe
"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw71rXIX6zx
I paused before I could say, "what?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmu1GS2Uyy
"You heard me loud and 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8lCK6MEYv
clear, Sam. As though kissing Daesung wasn't enough, you're now trying 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh3sctzFf8
to take matters into your own hands."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oN61YOWIb
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKbbguSfPV
"Wait, that's not true," I said.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqe5NLx85H
"Which one? You kissing Daesung or taking matters into your hands?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLBbsETZE0
I now realised that I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0BXkYSnzX
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS2xtQd4Uj
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxzQ72g6e6
assumption right. But there was no point in hiding now. The truth was 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJbElEWZQF
bound to come up sooner rather than later.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg4zKlbGkQ
"Aren't you going to answer? Which one of the two?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JWBNWzlOI
I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThYhLJYMsT
"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6odNPKntBH
"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AJABYsdBt
G-Dragon took a step 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuyVfqzPUQ
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGefwVDNUi
you kiss my best friend who is like a brother to me!"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShQpaxfGKT
"You wanted the truth, didn't you? You got one! But backstabbing you wasn't what happened."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EOegVlvvG
"Then what did happen?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3zNDd0kH5
"All of this is nothing 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH417KXBlBt
but a misunderstanding. I never went back on my word. Things just 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXmPfbP0NK
happened that I myself couldn't control."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMoB58jooX
"Don't lie to me, Sam."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QebPLkOCp
"You know what, I'm 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBpxZSe8zs
trying my best here to try and tell you the truth but you're acting like897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh1Vovbuxs
a deaf person blocking my words out. I knew from the very beginning 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8jbCWBAU4
that I could never be with you nor with Daesung and I have accepted it. I897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca4ePtL8Za
talked about that with him yesterday. That's why he kissed me."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxxtIrPsFr
G-Dragon shook his head. "So you're saying that he kissed you and not that you kissed him?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVrFXKrLwY
"Yes. But I know you 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kKsWyRLAz
won't believe me. Unlike you, at least Daesung realised and accepted it 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhFEUlvLdf
for himself that he and I could never be together."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNETdULkCrv
I looked at G-Dragon and I knew I hit the spot. I just hope that what I said would make him understand.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNemRo2QBKW
"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUnvq3XRXh
I turned around to head 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFdzKNDi7H
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjxGeo54pR
angry. I was frustrated and my problems were far from over.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sWufGvpYj
When I came back in the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LjOS7OW66
studio, all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I could tell on 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1a66MGEe9
their faces that they had heard the entire conversation.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr3bDdYvkd
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGB8n6GMvv
I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQsZwUJIgo
I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVmd3tefkC
"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEl8iZkSJs
I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK2oGt8AuX
I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiXzjHucaj
I heard the door open 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VVBOqh6aU
behind me and I knew G-Dragon had come into the room. At the corner of 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OKVTDSTj2
my eye, I could see Zoey turn towards the door.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52VIKzJOAh
"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."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEeRxhM978
"It's nothing," I heard G-Dragon say.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eALyzE3wa
"It's nothing? Looking at both of your faces, something did happen," said TOP.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOcDuvrZco
"Look guys," I said as 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGaFHLsVL1
quickly stood up from the floor and turned to face them. "Tell me if I'm897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLBXzFFPjw
wrong, but you guys heard the entire conversation, right?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSspaxQ2xa
No one said anything and they had guilty looks on their faces. That settled it.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQxXXAWZwM
"I'm sorry you had to hear all that," I said as I scratched my head. "We shouldn't have been so loud."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hgNyyIlYh
"Why didn't you two tell us all this before?" Seungri asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa6AyaTeq3
I didn't say anything 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznX4Oft62O
and neither did G-Dragon. We looked at each other and then at the others897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMw8PiPaBI
who were waiting for either of us to say something.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPL158d3ZC
Before anyone could 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzKYJiXcBm
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0g5N5Frmq
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ysMkGlI2E
we went back to practising.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSRM74YucF
I don't know how I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzfIhG1k7m
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzy4M09IH7
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt8EDLxQmx
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXpfM4nfFG
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSIJt7ofDq
head in the real world and not mess things up.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqrDiO2DtT
It was lunch time and 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZka7uGPTPL
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M1czSc9gU
was so tired, I wondered if I would be able to meet up with the unknown 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dDE1NPXL8
stranger.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFXiqQQcXf
Now that we were on a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx36zyTbNh
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7gguCj0t9
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7AmGaybte
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eH02qouf3
too awkward for me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxKgPPPDk4
Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWdZhs7F3W
I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4665XhZVk
"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrQrLIFtAi
Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLKBwJnibi
"Well, you guys can talk if you want," said Seungri, "but I'm hungry."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARosy9hwtA
"Ya, me too," said Daniel.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy5oAhnOSy
"We can order a pizza," said Christine.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDxvJGU2Go
"Good idea," said Taeyang.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaA9w7jG5d
As though they couldn't 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4VNGKCoe1
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhybfSeurLw
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscbJ8KFugM
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was entirely my fault.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP2umPsMJQ
A few seconds later, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BknK6LXEF
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqF3kS7fF1
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC27iCJM0J
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqnsrai9t5
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDh10P17LO
As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgyQJDsuXf
"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTFp0WhKMK
"A lot has happened 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hRIvsGbev
today that I need to tell you, Lee," I said, keeping my voice down in 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ4MIETmQ6
case there were any people snooping around.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEDQHIwhxk
"What? What's happened?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfunPtbNMfg
"Everyone now knows the truth about G-Dragon and I. They heard us arguing."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVHwd3nbaY
I could hear Lee gasp and I pictured her ready to drop and faint. "For real? Oh, gosh, this is bad."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDIpYgCt8K
"That's not the worst 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxsmtxjwdk
part," I said as I found myself at the end of the hall going down a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjhH0pKm9z
flight of stairs. "A weird guy called me today and I need to meet him."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST8TUVKuUk
"Huh? What for? Who is this guy?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGhMMFMjSp
"Like I said, he is 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNj5Tm7QE0
weird. Something bad came up and if I don't meet him soon, a lot of us 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHf7K1Xm5h
are going to be toast especially with the press."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM9eqLO0Cg
"Is he blackmailing you or something?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkzmTInYtu
"I'm not sure if I can 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGvZMgDSeS
call it that. But if I'm affected too, then it kind of looks that way. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN37RZNlg22
Do me a favour and meet me at the back of the building."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjHEz0Li1o
Lee paused. "Why? You aren't going to meet him, are you?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa0xnXGe2e
"I've no choice and I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP9NQ9iNGR
would better do it now because we are going to be here for a while until897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg5kjG7TxS
we are done with the dance routine. Bring me a pair of sunglasses, a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzhpkZ0Jtw
cap and a scarf."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWRT0HXRX8
"What will you need that for?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpb3TzTif8
"Trust me," I said as stopped on the stairs. I wasn't too sure which floor I was on at the moment.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfHG3Cag8F
"Okay, fine. I'll see where I can get those."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHNoMLkO3i
"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDKNPtIlrn
I cut the call and this 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbkcROzfcN
time, I ran down the stairs with a new found energy. I was tired from 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5cymRzzXZ
all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiTZhXIjru
I reached the bottom of 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO5ACtvpHl
the steps. I had reached the ground floor. There was a passage behind 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4Ko0NWp2x
the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVEG3FaM4Z
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76McPy3gDS
voices that I could recognise.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkzu3ZMQaK
I went over to look, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEmpJeNUzh
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd3TkX8oNH
Toxins and BigBang in the lobby heading out. They were going out for 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNukTbyAR5
lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could turn around and 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TvUTr0fbk
head for the back door, I ended up hearing their conversation.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6m6Po0QOU
"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeMedQtHi4
"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH3PtxtRtD
"I'm just surprised that897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGyEpBxyfP
you kissed my sister," said Mike. For some reason, I was surprised that897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuLkVZ2qcS
he wasn't upset like I thought he would.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSMf0svVHk
"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhtU0IIZem
"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi03htbDn7
"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhWTsoXMdi
"I think so too," said 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEoDcNb1V3
Daniel. "But just in case, we would order her and the others a takeout. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbv8bPPiJf
Sometimes Sam would starve herself without even realising it."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvEJKgOIp4
The next thing I knew, their voices became distant. I peeked again and I saw that they had already walked out of the lobby.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5DuM5KQWP
I was expecting them to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDyHLuUUtx
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Piw3qUSI
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfiXaLH1Nk
Who knows?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1tEKZKYuQ
Throwing that thought 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQhtdNmVrS
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhCfrqMJAK
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMuagSbFTE
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zrJzEyt60
There were still more 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40bZvZ2cUb
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexV5SBKwpQ
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNSTJhZ74J
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2E2bHIdpu
front and I knew the others were leaving until I heard the noise fade 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovVa0AVzij
away.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jwsk9PMJm
In what seemed like 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGzgMA0mM3
forever, Lee appeared around the corner of the building with her 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVlNymsk0O
handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhRupdaMW1
"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarjmJ8mOjS
"Don't act all grumpy on me," said Lee. "So as to let you know, finding what you wanted wasn't all that easy."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jw2dP64a3
"Okay, thanks," I said as Lee gave me her bag and I gave her my crown and purse to hold. "Hold this."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb6AYu2el3
"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5e3a0X3k5
"Seungri," I answered as I rummaged through the bag to get the items out.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HBPAmfnka
"This is so pretty. These diamonds look so real."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8ZepVeYtg
"They are," I said as I put the blue baseball cap on.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcGGn2XWvn
"So sweet of him to do this," said Lee. She looked at me. "Are they all still inside?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB0dDVA7SS
"They have gone out for 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThiK7mNDJK
lunch. But Zoey and G-Dragon are talking in the studio. Hopefully things897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EKyymDNo4
will work out okay. Though I highly doubt it will."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuE8jJUkum
"Things are really bad, huh?" Lee asked with a sad expression on her face.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEXyZERIj9
"Ya. And they are about 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RbtdzmiyD
to get a whole lot worse. Wish me luck." I put on the sunglasses and the897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutZkUyikQ9
light scarf around my neck. Lee gave me back my purse.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ReBURQSJS
"Okay. Tell me how everything goes," said Lee. "Want me to escort you out of the gate?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mDH3ewjJm
"Ya, that will be a good897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW33awk96W
idea," I said. "Leaving me alone would be dangerous and who knows what 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJpG3ybWtT
the guards might think when they see me."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdBTHT6FXl
Lee and I started to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF0e7yRTo4
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W5URsKfDo
parking lot. As we were heading towards the gate, Lee started some 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQeY1LMSdX
random conversation and I played along making sure not to look 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cEt2pdyPM
suspicious in front of the guards who didn't seem to be paying much 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vWsKXSb44
attention. I made sure that they didn't notice my face.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96yfsK7iHZ
When I finally managed 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAz3MsTLwR
to get out of the gate, Lee wished me luck. I nodded my head and walked 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0bSqdCYmD
away from the YG gate and down the street.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgixFerlwa
I had to admit, I was so897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHHQhSEmv1
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6ZmnJWxBN
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHu85BZiQe
in the streets by myself. Going around alone was too dangerous for me 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIFFWCEg39
and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2UukjdhJT
After walking a few 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljSlh5ZtTg
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82QKp8hP2A
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i8EeDWO9d
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmOwhgDu7q
the road with a few people and got to the other side of the street.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8d2JZGkvT
As I walked, passing a shoe shop, I took my phone out from my purse and called the unknown man.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwMM0cozbO
"Ah, you finally called," said the stranger who had answered after the first ring. "I've been waiting."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1JbW6E2fe
"Ya, I figured," I said, looking around hoping that no one noticed me but the cap hid my face897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhrYd8xQJX
pretty well. "I've no idea where to meet you and I'm not so familiar with the place."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIuE1vOppq
"Not to worry, dear. I already see you. Nice disguise by the way. I can hardly tell it is you under that baseball cap."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMz3mVc41I
I froze as I soon looked897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8w6u99m5e
left and right and across the street hoping to see him. But I couldn't 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOMkC5vtM0
spot out any French native among the midst of Koreans. Feeling a little 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Zm2SPom9
out of place, I figured I might just be the odd one around here too.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvSpVoCdwK
I heard him laugh 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDkgS65tGW
through the phone and I could tell he was making fun of me. "Not to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmLQeftVFh
worry, Sam. Be careful or you might just blow your cover."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkE9xl14Hf
I gritted my teeth. "Just show yourself. Where are you?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBR0LpqERl
"I'm right here."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIqeB3zEfN
"Right where?" I looked around and still nothing. People walked past me and I got frustrated. "Don't try play games with-"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet4C8lOEII
My sentence was cut 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrxjO6D89F
short when down the road, a fancy black shiny Bugatti parked at the edge897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhkCeDTkD0
of the concrete slab right in front of me. I looked on with my mouth 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMdTururNG
agape. I have always admired fancy cars but this was one hell of a ride.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsgarlGFof
A smartly dressed 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOnI6dQH5g
looking chauffeur came out of the driver's seat and came to my side. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7irVAXGxRp
With his white gloved hand, he opened the door to the passenger's seat.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4aovuxFVj
"You may go in, mademoiselle," said the driver in deep French accent, as he bowed.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQngK2V5X2
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oPBOFVSe6
A few heads turned my 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKClpnU3yP
way and I could only imagine what people must think of a Bugatti and a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIpMqh996O
smartly dressed chauffeur waiting for me to go in. Strange, I suppose 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxJeLyhB8j
and a little suspicious too.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbExs3YS5b8
I managed to awake from 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdheLvChhvS
my slumber and got in the car before people fully start to look at me 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13mibSMch0
and figure out who I was. As I got in, a nice car smell wafted in the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgRUaB60Uo
air and into my nostrils. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BkbTYrq49
driver's seat.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKabcFR9ir2
"Samantha Glasson, nice to finally meet you at last," came a deep voice.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfPd1EkJmv
With my eyes, I looked 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qoX5cQT97
at the person sitting right beside me in the passenger's seat. For a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjQ9drR7tV
moment, I was scared. But when I looked at the man fully, my face fell.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcYfVlh4Zr
He looked to be in the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSPBTMsDem
same age group as me but maybe two years older. I guessed in my head 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1mz5fborS
that he must be 24 or 25. He had gorgeous blue eyes like the colour of 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfHQ4or50S
the sea and brown short curly hair. His dashing lips were lifted up into897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGZaACGeCN
a smile and under that navy blue suit of his, I could tell he was one 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8fDFO4VIv
who had one heck of a body.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ia17bVqtb
I hadn't said a word and897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDupAer2lFS
the car started to drive down the road when the young man offered his 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiilvig96u
open hand. I stared at it and noticed a shiny gold Rolex on his left 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZi4eOsTIZ
wrist. Who was this guy?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpb8XpfR1N
"Aren't we going to shake hands?" he asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZXQdkwJLS
I opened my mouth but 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ACyuWX1vv
then closed it again knowing that it was pointless to argue. I took his 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74tC7NRkLl
hand and shook it, scared that I might receive a shocking zap from the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTOTROrEh0
contact.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡittkRBV1mZ
"And you must be the guy I was talking to over the phone?" I asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfx8qFUpe4
"Yes, a pleasure to meet897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6jktBIKzK
your acquaintance." He lightly pressed his lips on the back of my palm 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrg7pZMi8o
and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0hc547GWo
"I'm sorry we had to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgIeGza0YO
meet under such awkward circumstances," he said as he leaned back in the897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLkjIB3TwH
fancy leathered seats. "But I needed to talk to you, and fast."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy0MLRvAAR
I looked at him and 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5OMou6JKY
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5isWBnoYK
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk3tT6E34D
This guy right beside me looked like one of those handsome Greek gods we897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22qCvJ2PZT
hear about in mythical tales.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo0Sl90yFg
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with the corner of his lips raised up to a smile.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRGzUnwwSC
"I...uh." Yikes! I was 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCXTYv1ZLF
caught looking at him. I blushed and turned to face the window beside 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u0sqA9UFN
me. "Nothing. This wasn't what I was expecting."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsPhPoY01G
There was silence and I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7DE52bivR
didn't want to look at him. He was obviously looking at me and that made897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTrxA619uq
me play around with my fingers because I was nervous. Then I realised 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIXVBM84dm
something.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA2BkLX7TL
"You never told me your name," I said as I looked at him. Dang it! I wasn't supposed to look at him.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCdAbV7Xuv
"Oh, silly me. Where are my manners? I'm Derrick."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxg3XNKpaq
"That's a weird name, given that you're French."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjK2vrzsYH
"I was born in the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyJXsvS8ZH
States and my parents preferred giving me this name even though they are897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl4vxoyR61
both French. I grew up in France almost my whole life and my parents 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbsMKvP2he
are people who like to travel a lot for business. Building their 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9EaADeurO
business empire is what's so important to them."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi4yC4uHUW
"I can clearly see that," I said as I wondrously looked around in the car.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4ps3IZ8Br
My expression might have amused him because he chuckled. I blushed as I pushed my glasses further up my nose and folded my arms.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSwifipGS0
"This is going to be fun," he said to himself.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhYajLl3zQ
I changed the topic. "About the photo, why did you want to see me?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJRAIxeMEi
"Can we talk about this over lunch?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLxkc6vTW4
"Lunch?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSYzZb3Rtx
"Yes, lunch."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3bzdR2Vwj
A moment ago, I wasn't in the mood for lunch. But now that he mentioned it, I was starving.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLgI7oyyWs
"Lunch sounds good. But not in the open. I don't want to grab any attention."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8pmmweu6h
"Of course. I figured you would want that. Given that no one knows where you are anyway."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCGnju5tov
I raised an eyebrow at 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzb7cGiZSU
him. "You've been following me the whole time, haven't you? That's how 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2ragT2Lfr
you have been able to find me on the street."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0wxFvoEw1
He gave me that dashing 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ5CLAjp7f
smile of his. "Of course. I just had to. I knew sooner or later that we 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtISDFMh8K
would meet. I had to come prepared."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsWuUlsdPR
"That's sounds creepy if you ask me," I said as looked out the window. "So, where are we going?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA0WFrkTyt
"My apartment. It's much safer there."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqIw4uwnom
"You own an apartment?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoPx5tpTNQ
"Like I said, my parents travel around for world and South Korea, is one of their favourite spots."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkctMhMepYL
"So, it's their apartment then and not yours."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xS4i4X2mO
"They have their own apartment and I have mine."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcPLFkdPl8
"Oh." I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb52mU15pWO
"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZHhAhx5BT
It was a huge apartment 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwRps5zfel
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3gwgVedAB
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTngNEJ8Fr
After the car parked, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTShV66Q0l
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzEUF38CqL
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tptS73dZS
car, Derrick held out his hand to help me out. I took his hand and I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRz41fxeBM
came out of the car.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDYNsufpev
Derrick lead the way, 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7WyLmvMLv
still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpmhy7Wphc
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63tYfcNN5K
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2dfnrNqLj
Derrick pressed the elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvYvk4TZl6
When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVkPGjBKGZ
"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSONdjuZOU
"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vWdpsaAaG
"Everything," I said as I looked at him. "But one thing I don't get is why you're involving me in all this."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3QudFn3Gg
"But don't you want to know what's going on?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY78n1U4xlR
"Well, ya, I do! You're 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5EBlIxmX7
the one who sent me the photo so I'm curious. Do you know what? It was 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIWjMobWJo
best you didn't send it to me in the first place."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk2egjcrQp
"Why?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp8P4f05ua
"Maybe then I wouldn't be here."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeCgmezLB4
The elevator doors flew 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksreYSJzcb
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCBOXZ71PL
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVJesUnZxo
you were to see it for yourself, you would think you had just stepped 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsctX29mIq
into heaven.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3NUTUGc6c
I stepped out of the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0fXpofYXb
elevator and beautiful paintings lined up the walls. I noticed that the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRGYajhDqd
doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthaPEjK3nT
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLNWT75bH9
soft red carpet.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42xJJYtOAm
"This place looks nice," I said as I walked down the hall.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72uAyngTlQ
"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL8mpZRmAQ
I looked down the hall 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VwMcKBG3K
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvf8HyyWzm
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflZzLeyQqq
front of me stood a smartly dressed butler. It's like he knew I was 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSkoAiESwE
coming.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsnvCQnAVX
"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wePFaz2yh
For a moment, I hesitated. Until I felt Derrick behind me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlft0d2iszY
"Ladies first," said Derrick.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhZ1AFBzNm
I gulped and took a step into his apartment.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzTniiWVG7
"This place is very 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZkqZQqmL7
nice," I said when I looked around the foyer and I when turned round the897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NadgtrPSb
corner, there was lavishly looking sitting room with creamed coloured 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgfF02neuo
sofas with a glass coffee table and I huge smart screen TV pinned on the897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH04zKgau2G
wall.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogXeAbO79G
I looked to the other 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidvbsYQcDc
side and there was a fancy looking table with a beautuful chandelier 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplUeKhodYa
above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsdtaPpktS
beautiful flower vases with orchids.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy0GXRnF4J
"I see you like 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcZijbqfN0
orchids," I said as I went over to the flower vase close to the sitting 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu5HvTxk4u
area and looked at the orchids. They were fresh and lovely.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA1Lz0bPsR
"I know you like roses," said Derrick as he stared at me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMJAJcw7Qo
"Almost everything that celebrities like and don't like are always found on the internet." I rolled my eyes at him.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rDohWMm9R
"True, but I can tell what a woman likes and doesn't."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtAME11g2o
I gave him a smile that showed how impressed I was.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHdTEGo2Ug
"Lunch is ready, sir," said the butler. "Should I serve the food?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPnzrI1bpr
"Yes, please," sad Derrick.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuU3h7e4Kn
The butler bowed and 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMwKiqquz5
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzW0m7U9SB
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjloXbW8vs
ground.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAEPIeEjSL
"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ6aGG6Cex
"We are," said Derrick who came to join me by the window. "This place is lovely, isn't it?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7zIW4Kf3y
"Ya, it surly is." I knew he meant Seoul.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZzwVV0qn4
"Food is ready, Master Derrick," came the butler behind us.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZxjogSB9v
"Shall we?" Derrick gestured his hand towards the dining table and I walked up to it with him following behind me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs7IOTqNIZ
As we got to the dining 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs3MvYpfAh
table, Derrick pushed back a chair for me and I took my seat, removing 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflTjRC1UwL
my glasses and cap putting the glasses in my purse. I said thank you and897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFPPqgWgGp
he sat at the head of the table right next to mine.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLHVUk2T8d
The butler had served 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J8ffVL1jR
our plates on the table and just by looking at the cutlery and napkins 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatynpgXPFo
laid and folded neatly I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsesbO8WX5
fancy fairytale. The table was set to perfection and the wine glasses 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5eAYWNcFQ
next to the plates were spotless.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqW1sqyCmU
Dishes of food were 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbzdMaKfLp
lined in the middle of the table and my mouth couldn't help but water. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYcNFjYr31
If I wasn't in such an elegant apartment, I would have just dug in and 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaiRMJhuaf
started to eat. I was really hungry. But for now, I had to act like a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovs0g1yXMW
lady.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqafNZWx5Q
The butler helped to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDOAAj6rXU
serve the food and I didn't hesitate eating right there and then. I made897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtssA5qS6uZ
sure not to eat too much and take my time.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs7CtPHGfl
"This was really good," I said, after I was done with my food.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7Johep2BV
"France's finest traditional dishes," said Derrick with a smile.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGFBlr9ny0
"Now, about the issue at897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFFWpO9XgA
hand," I said, wiping the corner of my mouth with a napkin as the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbnO7qnB1F
butler came to take away my plate and also Derrick's.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugOw5cz9hs
"Let's talk then," said Derrick.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIuYj4pEg7
"First of all, I need to know why you sent it to me."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY49olqt9H
"Because as much as you don't want to get involved, it concerns you more than you can ever imagine."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rxs26nryH
I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWCsotdSJq
"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSpvxIsMdj
The photo showed Zoey in897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oMsIOOZKz
a some place that looked like a garden or a park and in front of her 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWs7mUdGyq
stood a man I couldn't recognise. His face was hidden because his back 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU27zOgZXPm
faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBb4dQYvaZ
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNxQe3VR9k
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mS24GHH3B
"I know this isn't 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc1itvYRjE
really supposed to concern me," I said as Derrick looked at the photo 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMw9TcQVz1
and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR8ZgUj9a1
"That's my brother," Derrick answered.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3hbZGFRE3
Now that was a surprise. Derrick had a brother?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEJiXJEBvm
"Wait? Brother?" I raised an eyebrow.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJTlBEcPP4
"Sadly, yes," said Derrick clearing his throat.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIaE8WVro2
I looked at the photo 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSsO2L5clC
again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG5Bd6khTK
Paris with G-Dragon and the others? And this person in the photo is your897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaATv5ntXh
brother?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyO9pOPx2o
I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGa0Tmgi5r
"You never told me you had a brother," I said, looking at Derrick.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrQkFhAaXj
"We don't really get along," said Derrick.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VRAWVl8cn
"That figures," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Why?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyub5Hl4Czz
"We have been different from each other since we were kids. You can't even tell that he and I are brothers."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNUNVLJSRB
"So, what's do you think he wants with Zoey?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLpl7kWgEM
"I have no idea but I know it's something serious."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCiYF78hBh
"So, you're just assuming all this or what?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7zWR7XyH3
"I know my brother very 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsdfrKoa1i
well. I know something is going on between the two of them. I had my 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl89GL8WhW
suspicions during the Chanel fashion show."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5WXf0zdI3
I then remembered the 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZLcndWnRn
time Zoey came back to Korea the following day after the fashion show. 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvZJHD28em
She was acting all weird and the way she had hugged me surprised me a 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfT8OtM6l1
little. And so did the others. Were these guys really in trouble?897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKmAmDXMOR
"Are my brothers and Christine involved in this too?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXGoKDOVeW
"I can't be too sure. You have to ask them."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVOiwZi06e
"But that's strange. If 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgw5pvhqcj
it's something so serious as you put it, they would have told me. I 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj0DoLwmq0
don't see the reason why they would hide."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCjsnWrBfc
"If it's anything concerning my brother, I suggest you find out what's going on and fast. I don't like it."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzayTE2e2h
"But what if all this isn't that serious? In fact, what makes you think your brother is that dangerous enough to hurt us?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTm7KKQwIq
Derrick leaned back on his chair as he looked at me and I waited for him to answer.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mq64V9fJd
"My brother isn't one person to mess around with. He is one person who threatens when things don't go his way."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7CYmn5giF
"You think he is threatening Zoey?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LjFDaIqOY
"He did visit Zoey in that café, didn't he?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VpYuGG0Zm
"Wait! That was him?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc278DImfS
"Yes. I was there."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BfRdLGNjO
"You were there too?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fLTcz6eDg
"Yes. That's when I thought you should help me out with this."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEZzrWzTpm
"But what if I can't?" I folded my arms897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8sDRLjX2z
"Zoey is your best friend, isn't she?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QUgpbp6k4
"She is."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMWiICKoBB
"And wouldn't you like to help her out?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDvn3avbYX
I was frustrated with the questions. "I would. But if she didn't tell me, then maybe it's not that serious."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagVVFnax0l
"And do you really think she would?"897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bJpr6rcTd
I thought about his 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDzpjZ5x9m
question for a moment. He was right. Some people wouldn't tell the truth897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUH71mXpB7
just to prevent the ones they love from getting hurt. Maybe that's what897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nNJHJCsBt
Zoey did and I was too silly not to have realised it sooner.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEE25JK4l8
"You're right," I said as I looked at my hands on my lap. She wasn't the only one who kept secrets.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXngic0yhy
"Have you tried talking to your brother about this?" I asked.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzLEJm0UEB
"No. He doesn't know that I'm onto him. And knowing how he is, he isn't going to tell me anything."897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H2GRqCYqb
I tapped my fingers on the table and I took the glass of water that was next to me and I drank.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzcKfGnJu8
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.897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAJXvxlOce
"Before I go, tell me 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ6lbfLTjr
all you know about what happened in Paris," I said as I looked at 897Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQloJrOrwl
Derrick, giving him the eye. "And don't leave anything out."
