Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 21: At The Mall

Sunday was quiet and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV6KMKadFk
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxkffBWckI
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYQLORWvqt
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn87ifpwiz1
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KmuDWVz4f

Last night, Zoey moved 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCBfHwClnV
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPJXq74AUf
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1jADBt480
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZagTUk296
talk to her either.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YL8vnHoAJ

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7qNE4FUuU

It so happened that 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HGUGzolMQ
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aBQDTbxAV
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51wbJGWG2E
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKUko1YLQ8
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWzFdPnOCF
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlEtF9lZX6

Now, I was sitting 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb15fEGgLCa
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOKWre5M06
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn82SLvHO4U
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDup6w82Y7D
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TY4U0qBhb

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFOl33saw9

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk9ddUDjDK

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMmyvneUHq

"You heard me," said Lee looking down on me, with an annoying look on her face. "Are you going to sit here the whole day?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mnYNoI78U

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwLNKxG9gX

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3Io17nUyH

"Lee!" I whined, putting1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ019jb3RvhY
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXIXhE4tnT
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRYZlQju4v

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcpsU4v5XC

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr5YMd1uTi

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7VZ84OlvS

"Why? I want to stay here."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPvcszEQyr

"I need to go and shop 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtWxrwHShA
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlPSs5v77A
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNl6LoTTCR

"But watching YouTube 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN5wvdqIMf
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbSchK1a0X
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk7NBKNE9J

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fOZh9fSUc

"I think Lee is right, 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxfleh8pRL
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe0QHQbTC6
out on Sundays like you do back home."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlso4Ch5YbE

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOgL0xJBNy

"I know you're a fan of 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQLxGI0yhH
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8sjWgXFEK
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLZtNJT73b

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGeHEKsdoH

"Well, that's what 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNh12QRcyc
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVwjq9LLk1
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsOaWP3R8t

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IDCx5iV55

"That's what we are 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B3sDHPpyI
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHqaoBhV58
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVWcH4RZFs
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBU6XjA7lJ

Daniel's right. I had to1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1okWVkZv72
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEDn1iO8TM
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8JoZYsIbN
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpWzgg0pkn

Unlike the others, Lee 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9ZBqXPqk4
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDlMLH1yDW
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYlSxNYnoR
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojbzsQnNc5
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr74CAF092
and Zoey together.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTZtq0qFrc

I really wanted to tell 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5qed412NW
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zhZ2ukYUl
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cFRZ9EXjs
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Lltd9MuF
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxbv9DU99g
When was I ever going to change?1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK0XdnMFNF

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wzEYfwZxX

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFldnLj3Qc

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJvaV3Dcr

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyLPRmRBAP

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzleIfiX01

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmSTsLFMbm
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9jqJPfJuX
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PpjAk0IDM
my room to get my shoes.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYNR3kAoPQ

After I wore my white 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpg6YWn7zD
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hni415Sir
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjZNkEgWoz
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL82I89ZDIo
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ab8X5hshk
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXPVycxzWg

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk0f1t0dGq

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9qS9cuJAP

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOLquJRpOj

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbschEVcyvh

"We can go, now," I told her.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQSs62TCaG

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a2o8txRnA

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBVvfGfhZ2

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2GqBNqjRO

I smiled back at him. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYl32MuSS5
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Veynv0es5
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtcAtkB3fT
guards in the other SUV.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud5FZYKwa5

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6vl2QLEkl

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW854kS0W97

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVviHCMgmy1

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR4Wd20W16

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKTYZMFXGb

"To the mall," Lee answered.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs58gmNmdhS

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAbDhDwhUA

"What's wrong with the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd54N3uCKX3
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpBoZhbgeW
best plans just come out of the blue."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv22EKXMkZE

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31rwlfoIDx

"And waste the day away? No way."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdzNiYatES

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuBiE89ZJB

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7tIDeQrGG

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqfv8RNj2g

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa8YkS64uu

"No. Zoey might have 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfcmrqVokF
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfjYa519wW
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefJt3wQ45k
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLZiR6FjQK

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdEBUv7CDo

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tJvUYquo2

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbRm5k4Jmc

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxR5xOhBzd

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkStrJtZIQd

"I don't know what to do1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV1RUKU9L8
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6xZ8S9B1U
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz7X2EQ4fn
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9irGv3IN7
somehow."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRfGz9jrXt

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OElhby2E2

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdf8TtOrai

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPOCWeTeRI

I folded my arms as I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPsJ6ICNzC
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz5geTG8YU
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLZBaJOdxv
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1oTc1LKmN
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iScUfM3x2

We soon reached the mall1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4TtBjN86Y
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSNdvibzEM
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNDBzomCTK
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbvt6a6bO6
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkuhbyok1b
the bodyguards were around.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoGefnRkao

Lee and I first went 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb8aIgURmH
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RZsYkMn9E
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8qlxIckLT
a while. I was having fun.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqOJHK8SGf

And when it came to the fans, some were brave enough to go past the guards and come take photos with me and take autographs.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRyP6TKSh9

Lee and I soon came out 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjsgJPQbi7
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiiX8FgbOm
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOZIswmgxp
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5Q6SE1tYu
our bags because we bought way too much.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4N7MHcThK

When we walked out of 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUVfuticH3
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFVFDrGy10
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzw5JaDY5K
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdfWqRjxpC
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1KRzF5nZt

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SKA0GtchY

I couldn't answer Lee. I1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoe3Jfl8m3
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJKvI6RHkQ
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOawxmGRVu

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0syhvNqY6C

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3c4Cf1kW7

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNcXtQKR7V

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrVSjigH38

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNArSEefl27

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe0G7J38Mb

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT9plF8NVO

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8vWjBUqEs

I looked at each and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUm25PMh4W
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWA8J9Vv5m
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV8igSsqdM

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKNX44BNRq

"What?" Lee looked 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jbF61QNws
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUQCdmfQeA
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNJJIb4eKv
panda."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6a38154yz

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWI6UVbSyB

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCkB1xeUiF

"Derrick's brother sent 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEieJqaX4I9
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWRi2nX1eN
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbqPA9eG15
bear."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsESRyyRlSV

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cfs5XNzd7

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsYz1U3kT3

"I don't get it though."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyESzxShB4D
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYWH9BJaUs
so concerned about that small teddy?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PmtD8K469

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn03ZAOCKQ6

***1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCp42ytsCW

Zoey's P.O.V1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGRnjJxPJX

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92fdplQs2V

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUZJ3gObnq

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjxnQL9zpI

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQwhqnv7MS

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcjxncXJTE

"You moved out of the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cLWxSPdGf
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0vMvhp1JR
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxlEshm1sR
of alien or something."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNgN7crvTE

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGdcgyK46V

In a quick flash, a 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f2XEazInr
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFhK0Bayv0
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrbSxFiXcv

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6wjvs01Aj

"Do you want more of 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNJGD5JnVb
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3JDXakWgT
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBRsLd78me

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCaPCZyFHC

"You got that right." 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9dl0kvfFz
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1OySi5YZ3
ignore her like you're doing forever."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QvzngVDEg

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEHUKtwHg2

"You know that sooner or later you will need her. And besides, she is always going to be around whether you like it or not."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0U0bixSv6

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIp1RZREVh

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTvEUFwALP

"It's normal for someone1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqWOh4C5GZ
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWu7KhhFVa
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswvQY5ajWL
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cySUbs2em
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn9JrWxCkx
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxsp8L1gT7

I always hated such kind1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckqoIrrtND
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsVhhLLDTX
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT7tzi0I2f
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0RSMOYSoo
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQrOlaNipS
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FWnaxer39
nothing.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVwiSchobw

I've never told anyone 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv1Zg2fGzl
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bcosax91Y
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xM1TStbZV
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqC5nj6f4Q
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJv20VFNAN
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nqXrtn7kJ
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgLfsRm4pK

I am Yin and she is 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3YNrGzbi6
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pnf6alJUz
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uQ10DxTcK
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwR77pDtgf
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTVoGeAyB7

And now when I needed 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIcaxqG6IV
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6kd3b0s5F
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSByRTY9DE
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AHj12mGdV
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv46rxAMZT
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzMdisxi4p

It all begun when I went1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHbmNeMm0n
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL9G9sUAQV
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhEf6zlaPH
this mess.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4MMhcdb3b

We were having so much 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLEgqOFro2
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGqyWXiQnl
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgb1HOrwhI
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDlUxjTAEq
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCPwJCihwh
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAEgmgATrY
things did go wrong.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VKc4Xg6ok

As we were watching the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4tBkCkAbg
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYIVIty2BO
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4Zz3VRDFf
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGBOv0jsO6

When I looked at him, he1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfYXoSYfQD
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFDtbICgZs
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUq0Atp0HY
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdPkL5VZMW
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4CYq7A6x0
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAqHuZH9cw

After the show when 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ4jZAUQgZ
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkda6LXuF0S
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlCk7cxb4u
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGsj6o7fGh
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NTHE2BJyp
take a few minutes.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9SA78tebG

I didn't find anything 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5umUtLh7iy
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oS7Zn18nf
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n4uoWqs4L
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WEjnqYHV9
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj0qEoZUat
too much.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCFrPgS4kl

Jehan led the way out 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgduXJTenRk
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQJeQHc4di
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO9KXmqtlR
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn4rwvKM3l
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQFLudPghr
that I felt a little safe.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhv6MpFXaX

The two of us soon found1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMskMyGEF2y
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE4lz7o5XF
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOVgzsjJuf
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dkpqYFdt5
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHknL4iR9ro
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK8EkLW9Ic
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ICkguDPt1
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqG6wV2t34
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7BLQuFvhy
menacing.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxMeJTFPmR

He gave me something for1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEALLdV1Hym
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJdvJl8EXJ
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9FOY65oVU
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBqIBIIkVX
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGGFkjGrSa
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ILHdZHEYa
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRMfey1X52

Whatever he sent me that1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMot5c4egV
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RBvU70QxK
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHa4Plj9Bi
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXS7l15M6X
happened yesterday.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5yOZaec9F

I had never been in this1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7SmbEPAdq
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVAFw9oq8Y
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjbtVkcBRY
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhgrnrworo
crying out loud. I had to do something.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYbxo524yV

My phone rang bringing 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJTuVzEfI4
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jUXRl0lon
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8TD7Ma5zp
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XspCxuRVY

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZYcyZ6O0s

"I...uh, ya, I will," I said as I picked up the phone and answered the call. I could already feel myself starting to sweat.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ096Bbn4rX8

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7YISQIY1V

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT5ok78xnK

I would have told him to1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW1gxAr7sC
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPixu82wgL
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoNs5g2KSV

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UbTKQQW3D

"Looks like you aren't 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjqqCDcTd0
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BjjLDza0d
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RCMKQnJJb

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0zBeq22pD

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMTGiwR6og

"Just get to the point, 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tPjKIVxWt
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnkM7Yhind
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLZ1E51QkK

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP13TtieBz

"Today? Are you serious?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp25sDpRrM

"You know that I am. We meet today."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2Yx6mHFDy

"But where?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVmhc590yd

"At the mall."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHNDFgj9lO

For a moment I almost 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fYc4pizOX
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ORUNxSJ6S
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCsMAANwCf
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YHNljk7hl
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp743cXeZ4

"What's so funny?" Jehan1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOYLadW0rp
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSgFSExNja
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxdNfldjRN
myself.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGxThB67BO

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Nu6DwGCi

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRTuBNBgRH

If he thought saying 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZasQrMeDi
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfYPHlpZNf
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGJTa33dBP

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhdAnaMjrS

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3EqOqIqLE

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S8t3FHyCL

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10FqDdTZ8b

"Ya, sure."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRBJjtrvXq

Jehan didn't say 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbUeCDCpS2
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnNxUtnqZh
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVMvGzYko7
Typical.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu8znyLv9J

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf1kuHfxpm

"Oh, it was Seungri," I lied. "He wanted to see if I was free right now so that the two of us could hang out."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzxQcze7bS

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaNkCXFZNu

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKMwVqwPXx

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoyWFjjPzX

"Why? You think I would?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C0mmBWnql

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFEp5wyN5U

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRylOjGXPUw

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKpA0b4jev

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUKZZvG80u

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0xMJpzlja

"That one. Where is it?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKAuRvJHvL

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5W0yTgHb2

"I just want to ask if it's still around. That's all. I hadn't seen it ever since we went bowling that other day."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQzQVtADDE

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YVrh27R1o

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLMgWR4U3s

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEbtQlZgiw

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifTulm5UXi

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNP3g6oSqg

I quietly went over to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8akfToXCsX
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDPk386lCd
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSTTjqKWF7
soon.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhxBcZgSFL

I came to the drawer 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEA6BdJCyo
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDntOJ7GJZe
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9URswUpTx

I looked at her bed and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3t6vdnYwc
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrGBGEYbMO
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cmtKeSpMI

"There you are," I said softly as I took the teddy. "I think it's now time for you to leave once and for all."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsM8aKcaVH

I heard the tap in the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKcvKjnAiK
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8Bm8SHz2t
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhOzSAfARv
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbzOkrvQwd
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDZ1Hrn2Pk

***1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZAOjO7L03

Sam's P.O.V1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5csfYylpgg

"Do you really think 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFodUDmk7R
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX4cZyke6Y
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSfSWefZuQ

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSzgTUkBdC

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3W7uTSSbt

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU6js2ukh9

"I hope it's not drugs."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wzki3xO7B

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAUC4y3GEg

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol945mb87q

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjblpeQYpv

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUfiVKY2IV

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8tvhaQ41h

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2TZJbAbMJ

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzsY48SSnc

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh94lviep68

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdOsVxTGiZ

"Zoey."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntNBzw41S9

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iN1ScOnpW
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur7TxaCyVu
they couldn't because of our little fight."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal6dyXqmxc

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHSf9RwHIZ
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSfJCNdALN
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzFtDPzxur

I raised an eyebrow at 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9pPLMqKkg
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJG34hMAjY
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLufzt1bkPP

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaZnYqh1mA
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneZAmtPgNh
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkYJjriVMx
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzKFjtN2pw

"About what?" Lee asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZURPcD15my

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jrNsWTfAq

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLMNnTe25s

"But today might be the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7vTUqQOZ7
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVpwIYkkvl
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w9JZTwsCZ

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7c5GQzr01

My heart rate quickened 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe2FKTBd1f
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVWJPFOaIY
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafSRovve1L

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1vq8zgYmq

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcB7O5hObi

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVEtkIw4dT

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1PXd8v340

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3zlDN2Nk0

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDisQXN5Hms

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEinEWj2uoU

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvN8LyDi3X

"Alright, thanks, 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq0IR1qNzR
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ff9huEZa7
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20fv0YLv3Y
Seungri."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxN88vN9ic

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkM7Os10oU

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qObSqxrs1

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79oOGTRZ3y

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6HsHdKUZW

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExl6lV4wnB

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfFwQWpbcc

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP6f0aZeP2

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXUCpzKTs2

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmk49zpTVQ

"Yes, I am." I could 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv7mTpusPO
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL7wze3yLz
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJAp0uaC13
perhaps?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Ldxbijyj

I rolled my eyes and as 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF9qCTu4ab
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bjw6Rb7bu
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9Ikj4ccKN
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkiVBJbUoA

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxdJP3vfNI

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9GJ21Uzvi

I bit my lower lip and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX8XdwEzh3
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P34iKwJjb
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRn8E4lDny

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg23DJHPv3b

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND3sL4bUZg

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VvH60yIRO

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVg4SkjfH9

"Bye."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgxOK2UwXl

"Bye, my little kitty."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuBJ0G92zc

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Ve1Fxn6Z

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSBtPS94DM

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa53Ze9MZHH

"Nope. And he isn't 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c4keVJS8p
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDe9CP5c42
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4yA8LqC4a

"Oh." Lee took her smoothie and sucked on the straw. "Umm, what are we going to do now? We have to know where Zoey is."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78KIm0BgIx

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrbIvqHK0U

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcdGbpjNHV

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY7I130PcE

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtDhojsBJE

"Tell me about it." I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfPvdz3PDU
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUN7JT7Xoz
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7jBG6Mr8P

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNglzP98FY9

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHlVBXhfot

After we were done with 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApzekMT4WW
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HYnksL4by
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16rilimrXf

As soon as we walked out1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae5O0Xut4k
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U2ABLhrEC
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQi2tmZMal
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6WGn5vwvc
looking black suit stepped out.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZAKUwgDWM

Time seemed to have 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkoWK0RDub
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ092cAErY1c
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx0PHqw12Y
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAaZamO33A
something familiar about him.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6iHqBkpky

Just as I was about to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Q150CAqX
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9cUzGCZvD
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hF3naAhBc

I almost tripped and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qZ9wvnvKJ
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPFA0Wxm8J
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOnf023kJY
me from falling.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyQbtAtAK4

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f6ALN9R10

I didn't say a word as I1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrHHYwrFqP
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa0OrrVEuD
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcgfCzbGeh

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbMDyqNskw

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvi8u8C6pd

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbkczna32f

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ2QUqBuB6

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm0mTJqJs9

Narrator's P.O.V1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3Pw0T5mzw

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsywlZfgotP

"Hey guys, am here," 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Jq36Mq0a
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqT045XeRI
look downcast as though someone's just died."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzG7ymq3mO

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt72FzpYsX0

"This is getting real 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZoKPzdt9M
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIXqHsCroU
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI149wWj3Kh
her or with anyone of you."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoXBV0sDCh

"No, I think now is the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsNgDOqJxn
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe5CftQAqa
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGWJJKgbB5

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Ghiyr5kC

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBel9Ttub0

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk7wlIsTvD

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbidJJCR8at

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkweS5x3ku

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLp5lCuKyI

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrgsI2DvG9

The others rolled their 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXbgxp0uJM
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI7FsLsSez
around and now wasn't the time for it.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPpchpitAf

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGodwD1Lne

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer07xBiGql

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8dbZS9jyH

"Well, maybe," said 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFOTMNOrH2
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2cYFxT8ji
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Et4BP01dp
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkxOIwiNUf

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7i0w3nmwS

"When I saw Daesung and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RMZmlNKVy
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnTjc6x2Gq
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyw4O0wseY

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfZVf57eWz

G-Dragon didn't answer 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOnMWDTSJl
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiKPwmzYMA
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WqKAS34F1

"Oh, I get it now," said Seungri, as he looked up at the ceiling. "But I see no reason why Sam could be in the wrong here."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjjEtzssKc

"What do you mean?" 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLMEW709M2
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXxSEqcqDz
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzM1J9mfR5

"She was just doing that1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyBGstdtzp
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3doto6tB3C
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx33Aqywa6Q
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqn3tcRhyK
be together."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG4JoxVRM8

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16aTxkZiaH

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HxQFrkxYW

All the four BigBang 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLqU6Too8y
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzymDfx8qX
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkQxBiQpdb
heard him come in.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HpUTAUwpp

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVkBqgawni

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsos90bUYj

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6sP1bAUVe

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJbmQtqlXE

"I'm not going to stay 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPlsRVdYO6
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97SqIoqbyP
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lC1tkzgjN

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EHZnvIya4

"No, I don't."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZcEs95j7o

Before G-Dragon could 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNL6dFSwHd
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKCTgTd43J
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp0zEann67

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAkOGBnwvK

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMngZtW2NLE

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60DoLzDf5w

G-Dragon folded his arms1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZtgALBQGo
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77wLNFHsOH
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci0Bbm0Nsh
stared at the ceiling.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVCDOLjl42

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDICuE6GGwW

Daesung came into the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G7JcVs8vE
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhfwoder1V
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWg9VHrTfi

"Look, I know you're 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRNEQDVsK7
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGuglh0STd
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBckA1YHCyw
never told me anything either."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0HJwlgnMv

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuGQzNv8de

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtWtxT3mBx

"Why?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCTZDMn34N

"She just felt like it 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWlyxXuCwr
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM2Uz7HCiD
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV6ITYUnPs
long distance relationships will ever work out."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJifqTBkMAB

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6GMca0Z1n

"Because I know I'll 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhuEOUUTSD
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuJ4MkCl1T
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4rX9FiIH3
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWptaCKxQA
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySuucMNNAm
want to hurt anyone either.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJjjTsxcMh

"Maybe that's why she 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA9r5rVek5
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCOUbW7l3u
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKtx9wXoGi
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHl9OnoKUk

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoXUAZQOik

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1MuKwaYQ3

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPXFA94kf4

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jgO2QEvjK

"I know."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHABtW6KYaG

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8B7jyQ8Vn

"I'll think about it."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PSpxqGOts

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTDcOSp1Cc
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9wanW5Yts
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1XtunhID9
the mall."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrGsHyCMNV

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri4VQJxTlI

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qGTkibpZ3

"Ya," said Seungri, 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6CYJhFlWv
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaqowYQvDQ
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmq2miIJwA

"No way! I'm not going to the mall," said G-Dragon. "What am I going to say? I need more time to think about it."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT0RJQOSSI

"There is no time to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9vbxrimzl
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUUxURE3FV
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4vOl5svt4

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TEIv1njk6

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKXnNmgofl

"We're your best 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlzFf4vA2V
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc8ZUr6DoH
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAWmhP1GOw

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8cOFBL86C

Zoey's P.O.V1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2TsJXy1Gc

I came out of the black 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqBFvz62WO
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI9mviuhwm
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0rIt7CBs2
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXlo9pTqC6
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqP8vL7rnZ
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8NVwzXsJO
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHv80XX9S2
by my fans.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSB8Qb3PGN

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4Ze7FEysi

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLOtn0TEw4

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4s8KdNN2y

"Okay."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONP7HTCLjt

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUgbFD8uSb

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGly0aM2Hh

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9ey7xJRm9

"Well, I'm glad you 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAoLs6sO9p

from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVm10i0n6L
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtfZmEe6g7
lot smarter than you think."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFim5lsdQz

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8EBtbFgx7

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKoIV1prV0
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4fCbyKbbn
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC1ErwUzNB

When I went into the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EU5y0fVU2
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVTpwWST9c
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQpoYjCXtw

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0ZXRX5RS7

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsSJVIRgDJ

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZYUVBdhxF

I shivered. Despite his 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW1KYrAi5u
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrIdnwGjrG
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdmRorTweU
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTwbn1wOHA
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYaTRx0FT0

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnnMiEtyvk

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvjVV6Xm8s

"Why do you need to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrsty88A8R
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YWrlP2Emr
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k8Ufvu3Dw

"Well, I need to know 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMGQ3wyrto
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIZ2wAWmb3
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvDKGIulZO

"And tell me, why should1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFXaK51KuW
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprMDNhsKo6
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBQXZV8R0T
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd06fSpKO7T
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPsqRrw8ts

"I...eh..." I looked him1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvleZOjuqL
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG3gq9dw52
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ057w3KAS0l
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X83kbyxeF
the kind who would send such a thing."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhZvU2r3os

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCkQaIpTbd
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQOhM5QTwQ
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdMhCDsjXX

"I don't know." I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUkW5u5q5J
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2msyCUw2O
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkxD2N1x8C
up to?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZeApzJlPB

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXUW5YPH01

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvnBPwkE93

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4soPzaODa

"What's the matter with that?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahdowg78ff

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmizcarEvqL

"Don't test my patience,1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6eG5g6jyZ
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCrjzwb7mu
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxAaW4fJ7F
think you deserve to you know."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduzrlH26Zu

"Well, yes, I do."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y0cyfJe6y

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBOA73e279

***1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5tsp3L52d

Sam's P.O.V1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw7dTWTBpv

I could see Zoey from 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v87nOdCDa
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ05pK4uXJn
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LQFVfM3Ma
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9yLYQpWkq
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uga6tHpwz

I was entirely grateful 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ1TfqxRCy
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG8PtPfK8A
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNY0rZTbe2
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT481aPudh
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1MKkQEVDL
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIrj4KqUdF
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonG0el1mSL

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgALmsDKFAx

"Believe me, he is," I said as I looked at a nice beige top on a hanger and then took a brief glance out the window.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9w8gLeN0r

"But how did you know 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXLGpyNDPD
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4jD8AXiRY
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJW6ZLN2Eo

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNnAgtNClV

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfycztTf8V

"Well, ya," I said as I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmBVJJkJIF
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSybSnxfUMd
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23GwZrIYA2
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZKAfNXDCU

Lee turned to the window1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxAv26QSPr
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtGgtPVr1i
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEgG24iCS6

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp6xuhtQ2b

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91kBvBOLiJ

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA4icGTi6y

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnx5ioLCmS

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpF56MGQ8v

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWJ9vDfU5p

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYgZ8KWks4

We made sure to keep a 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0HJHgqPCD
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv79fItjS7
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iCYWgnrFu
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyxIO7lPt0
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqIVHY0hue

They went down the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5DieRjMPX
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKPsYFnaOZ
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi68O907CuZ
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4XdbI02HN

They were led by a 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1i3QVFVsw
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXckbozI6L
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S2bNMfXOT
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6ipXFl63A
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgj7KCGYDk
restaurant.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeHAtkOUt6

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72X3nJVaBL

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ5s2wMOzG

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNXglDZMyP

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh32Bn16NYN

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmapby9dJ7

"Me neither. But what to1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wnd3fw5ZG
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4hZLa8bbV
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXvXtkf5kd

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQuB5pyA3D

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx2UMXXmoM

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9ZkNmfP3q

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzXmV0sdC2

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y88nSNbBW

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4NCft7l5j

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HFR7yzpDg

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtPArDZujJ

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAPHLx7QAx

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhVWs91NPS

"Don't worry. Seungri 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDHY0Z5KuG
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn5iaqlR6t
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdBd1e8pRu
and she will know something fishy is going on."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1iYmEsfVv

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Oie82DJqj

"I hope so too."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJJszgdVPk

Zoey's P.O.V1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6IL3YuulR

I looked at the menu and1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RZ6ecm3tG
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd7OdY62xD
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxDXzIJKPX
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKb8kXLRzS
looked up at me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVURhw2ywO

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4NpokPZHn

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7fbb3Uo6q

"Why?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4II3ma6ii

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9xMjceDwC

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasHprcW0iR

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCbvEPEr8P

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFjlPQEJtL

"What?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a2NmniATd

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYNOx0xFYB

"I'll try not to next 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgx05o0DuU
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOJ4293dFc
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpyJNoOf3y

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3VUijVD1E

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ddy43731C

"Not tell anyone."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1xFM8fwOB

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4IHZ33CXI

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzKpaZlDBN

"I smuggle diamonds."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuh2383HJV

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjls9H1h3lo

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVAHYGB7yA

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk0hHBhS43

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwak68KlSt

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVzDnP9PXm

The waiter came with our1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3U5NXpGpe
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6kXoPOxsa
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJJFnx7Ynl

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslaLy7wiUO

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR262SznIEm

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHwvfgAIUq

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ4x9IZyOs

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9jzHufeMP

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlvW6rQEm5

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Xke8MRCp

"Is that why you're so rich?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DTaYIXCXK

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIsR8S48Vu

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecEqPz030w

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz867i1Nfwk

I gulped. He was giving 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpimFUmi4v4
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rt319STkA

entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18fsr8zu0m
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7cOVHMFjU
car? What was he doing here?1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi3vMZTNSy

Seungri came out of the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd94vyH4e8h
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiecrmp1Yuy
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAT7JOWfuC
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFiAiixLgY
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bGTceb1tv
what I was expecting.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc5tXUwPuk

I trembled. What am I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oxMtXueBL
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq7KHp0Pj0
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37TCJpR8Rp
give Mr Teddy away.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K3veGA5OQ

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzSf42YpsK

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBbhHwYZ7t

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28VCtSq66N

"I, no....I," I didn't 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb044WlTpkK
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUH1phOb0n

"I was only expecting 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMJVigemIo
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ8toyBIN7
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk8DNdNcaN
seeing the two of them together.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXoCD8cA7N

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCjkUkBCZu

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQGFU4qCtX

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4wSZQcoRQ

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp5URtGXvE

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFDHByv50K

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLuFHUqc3P

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo855BC7lSK

"Come with me," I said 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bEupO6jnW
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtgWgwoOd1

on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRNtOFsvjw

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI5qyxGTT0

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XGZsIy0av

"Hi, guys. You're 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulyirYuNXb

I could feel Lee's eyes on me and I could tell she was scared of telling them the truth. So, I had to do the talking.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJypnZdtuyd

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfgpWob6Ks

"Well, if you look into 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X0TjToAj7
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2yWyLoWIG
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFO28wfd5U

The five all turned to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjrhhWCYAl
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAxHtGJEWH
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWN2rqcfxJ
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbSIuJUkAi

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsigTdz2BI

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWrfhbZ4a0

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGMhijPDGa

"Yes, I do," said G-Dragon looking through the glass window. "We met him at the fashion show. I'm surprised why he is here."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPMdbkW7ZM

"We were also wondering 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFFKuUmHx7
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfbwQdnz5U
them, but decided that I would rather not."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAy1ET5YUP

"Why?" Daesung asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfDaLh2M0q

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfzLbaT3RE
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfAPEklWfU
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNxvMWoD7f
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0sfmReMeg

"Aww, so sweet of you to think I could solve that out for you, my little kitty," said Seungri with a smile on his face.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMv0hCGsy7

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV1cVWHIuy
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqyNy1IdQE
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsreyELdZRh

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWP1vRCNeH

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0cp044Ov5

Everyone turned to look 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2KUePwQWO
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkvnPPDLc6
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfInX8PFH6d
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaRPxhWyEV

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKCMecu3YC

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ3PvdXby8

"Here you're now 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9y26wtaWW
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTdhssZk9s
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV6tBK72qw

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFaE5ZTk4r

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL7BHsXJme
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxfvr5hyLj
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1LHyhYpcU
something, quick.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MQydZSAw0

"Okay, fine, we will 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAZ4g2ulc3
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNHr9eWtqi
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulRyBC7zst

Yes. Finally. I thought 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLbrKnerd8
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmALJaFcq21
everything was going to be delayed.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebFvyT2NU1

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp50U1UtdHU

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWd2P0kiR9

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGnfpuRc5C

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObFLRKxnwf

As much as I wanted to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoUgNar8Lj
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z9IbAnpDN
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0KJ7TexR6

***1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzqfhlAPnw

Zoey's P.O.V1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX3xTuWnWk

As much as I tried to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63QVkY68Xt
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4wMTHqtP4
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g6BQax0nu
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm2DGPnKtL
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfcZ5WgYSt

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgVrPVuUaM

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZUdDTfrst

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pnKVhtfJu

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fm5PNzNKX

"Looks like you're getting all worked up for nothing, Zoey." Jehan got a napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst2YwfLcnN

"What do you want me to 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIOwr9YPFC
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbtBPEhuV5
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bQpWwn2K1
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7rAuVALV6

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ6c8vZiG5

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfyPyVTvPd

Jehan shook his head and1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61LN9KwOnR
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1bmgTPSqz
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDl4Z4pusO
annoying."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg8S6UKKZM

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcScG5rlz3A

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLpQXA125c

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pKsUk4uqZ

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwgH4XkbVn

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4duhqtrAhL

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdhmd4dpKK

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0hgPqDbX7

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiD4iHbDD9

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE36TaopNq

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEphkOyNQfN

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX3kQWw3MW

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfG2x30oUK

"Yes, for real."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVZr8Hv2IL

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxIaMRrDZR

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6msD1BgoW
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iX1CDo1Eu
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWvl0bU60U

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEydOF1bZ7b

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WU5r54vlN

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca5s6jVM1L

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf6bCCv6yJ

I took a deep breath. This was it. Once I give him the teddy, it will all be over and I can finally be in peace.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICorpZiDIY

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX8fhKPX1u

"Zoey, hey!"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtOzkZmFUT

Seungri? I quickly 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ybYhtmqwB
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUdgokyNwK
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER26tOFpn6
here?1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUwbEj6OZ6

They came over to our 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGMcF6MzZ4
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVWCi3f3J6
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEfwFj4YLz
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC8vRpfvBW
to do now?1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dJWJxfAWX

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Fhci7kye

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKk0OWLmev

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePEuEGHMRH

"Jehan."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjQvLw2o16

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVnH5Z9BO0

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3COnFtpVDm

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrfdxZWMhH

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2H6MDaAxS

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Eg4XgUBS

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZWrSWyViZ

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRrSI7hxwz

I almost spit out the 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl8ol1TmjK
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlouigVFh8
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXAISlGtEy
to water.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1riGvxN0x

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4QD2tO3bz

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgGkGjSLz5

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoZvUofmcv

Jehan looked at me and I1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrccldwwys
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICsc9ohZ6P
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDc15IK2hj

"May I ask what you're 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6U7mY61wd
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDUTkliIHs
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmmOtbJlM2

"Oh, we just came here 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtkAjtVsVc
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTHOPELebs
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BJgUYMT0Z

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv5xeX5n7p

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hY69Iyh4K

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TxXjhoZME

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafPVWpMQ5T

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSsTK0N63n

"Yes, we will," said 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4sVH5PlQh
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndlOnIq1W4
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi6RV6XDs3

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJhm85AaJM

"You too," said Seungri.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rVDCgKDzl

Jehan gave a small smile1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJFHX8jLdN
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwFhNIS56X
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmF1P6sxsh
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vOaYcKpS2

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYYANHtGwT

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWfjMnsqi5

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkRcms3ACC

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJOsF4T2XT

I wondered how I was 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZDCDYCDko
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeAEx2by6Q
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWkUhLyune
head until I give the teddy bear away.1075Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhW03Gxl6h

This was just great!
