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 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV0X7G1P2L
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lTO250Cvq
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQYdqTYrZM
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgPUipd1Mb
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtfnZPuodL

Last night, Zoey moved 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip6trIcQyY
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLEYAu0LoL
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ6O4EG7qE
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGN5VoT8kM
talk to her either.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMRtxWA2S7

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmFxJFZKuD

It so happened that 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLTAuRAf9c
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwqZDzoL8O
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmRvsDL882
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIKXGMlul4
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWckEhKvw7
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gzzeMCj1v

Now, I was sitting 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkClVV6kY9r
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iBsVVwzhz
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDKdATFwEf
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQD8V5BlsR
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD5QEKmOpW

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLZICpjUXh

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xd3G0b3UR

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxv3I0CEVg

"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?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeOjicwWV0

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV7u7hfkgJ

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx2HRAHlBu

"Lee!" I whined, putting1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG1PS5CzFj
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZu16f5ZX1
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsd8ENRxno

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdk7xJxlZI

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nip9U1Tfa

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaiLxnImYu

"Why? I want to stay here."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMp3YlAIMT

"I need to go and shop 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3oitPA6ri
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzN6SpnYO7
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqihNoQu7aL

"But watching YouTube 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwyzo2aG3S
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmWjkSIlvi
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxhS9ra7qA

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPCb7iWdtm

"I think Lee is right, 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gI1pv0YEO
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvyyQrx5S9
out on Sundays like you do back home."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSj9FeQGK2

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgEmSpDBuN

"I know you're a fan of 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTgsA7zX0J
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ961AxBW1pn
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs7T5jrbmr

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxEYwxgXsu

"Well, that's what 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDAxltQ0Qn
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4J7cRCVv3
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqi7AdccPg

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWf2nI978i

"That's what we are 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGyZ8kIPaZ
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0PtWgEhqh
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Zf191Uno
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2CwdDZw9Y

Daniel's right. I had to1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTryR3XlMl0
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2mDNEOLEE
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q3erhZG3Q
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbVpU9079m

Unlike the others, Lee 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaELIb9jD3
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPkOg2aYTH
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl7IAX8h7g
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjzaLM6D3V
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDhgQn42i6
and Zoey together.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qz0Q6M5QB

I really wanted to tell 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPfVmR8kC9
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXzqfihwuQ
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOAMNjtVYe
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf482qWc6s9
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6xGgGznaN
When was I ever going to change?1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSy8EBoUgN

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthGfx6T8ll

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf83yosCrrL

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwwaxhHEpV

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYKdF0czbS

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXng7TXJKR

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHRgBOKpWs
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFkAdz3rRt
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBoGUtmnXw
my room to get my shoes.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7Jp5kv08U

After I wore my white 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGFtJCXvEo
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k8980ILWQ
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXno0Tn3pu
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaMw30qoz7
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFd5fZgJ8q
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcRiIvr3zx

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3o3gEUdQG

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbasMeVDvr

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD92OmztpD

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEGwzi0LZb

"We can go, now," I told her.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCqy3U9RHY

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ZR7xa80f

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn7Q5pAc0U

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLttHRnMMTO

I smiled back at him. 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSw7qkR57v
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIV5LBLH5t
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNlhcyLXbW
guards in the other SUV.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL2gMj7BqT

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FDsRT7UQ5

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwZCqcC9hL

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaHBFdsMKM

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelUqtPHqHC

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKozryc03U

"To the mall," Lee answered.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9LVOvKTWX

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnvTkOOl3q

"What's wrong with the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxzdvQNaqr
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qs32fodQx
best plans just come out of the blue."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8cAhOZLxJ

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys1Y2Ywh1l

"And waste the day away? No way."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwwOJBbmRT

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswIUxesr5a

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PooKAQUfo

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5IMDE9dqd

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWzwacV50p

"No. Zoey might have 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTSrqML28j
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwPPduXtAl
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UF8aPrWya
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjvxSo0Fm6

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI4reNYqRE

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhV8vsZ3UY

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8naaX4JyU5

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFnsj65UnY

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF8vUIbsgB

"I don't know what to do1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI87iJUwN6g
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrizb6ILmuB
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF3jJ7LIHC
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs1zrZzyoF
somehow."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ2E7Rst0j

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jzEc4WYyy

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGmAp6JfbM

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP5ONnP7YE

I folded my arms as I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHQuAPCtWQ
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwZCmRTAnf
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMyq9PwwVA
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMUfT36ZqS
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgOUrsdHMI

We soon reached the mall1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjblZBm72vB
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLetnLeoDhf
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSdkqoEoCB
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopKevjkM1e
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeFwoVFhL2
the bodyguards were around.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4MajI78DZ

Lee and I first went 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKMK61Bb4k
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KvLrcjJ3W
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJdOibqvil
a while. I was having fun.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYj4vOyxNC

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.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5opAr8JVfL

Lee and I soon came out 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu4KQNFOfD
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVBuni11Uw
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT9NR5f4Mb
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdDevcyW3p
our bags because we bought way too much.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4T43DsGLR

When we walked out of 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Auv95VlML
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v6EDBN2RH
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHvD33ijyE
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPpnpszo6W
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhD8vJGiBX

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqBjj1462F

I couldn't answer Lee. I1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKjQ6qcZ2d
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QZ0jdxOf0
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyxjBEezwR

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMCQlKmOXA

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk0qhHSFlL

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPdXacYgCV

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpql0fD8NXJ

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mRPUt8XlA

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuvhdGsUy5

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7zBNmaTMV

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jJ4AjXvbY

I looked at each and 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSmNWXY5EA
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRbvet47jK
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lo49Sq3oX

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUp0OO0Xgy

"What?" Lee looked 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PnaRbZYKG
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnLMp76M5j
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdedOcr4soI
panda."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbnRgQAZUC

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmzH6Kqh5V

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZR1tSAVee

"Derrick's brother sent 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGEdK2rQwV
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoRzoNtsjm
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkSPxj8CyJ
bear."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeWs1T77jC

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTbIIAUSNi

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTL0qG1Ggh

"I don't get it though."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyltQd1btS
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsd5tylXCn
so concerned about that small teddy?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqqwvUzNB5

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3OdPc5ths

***1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0HzzKzqdg

Zoey's P.O.V1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgkbpBpkOT

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxQobMbik0

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqdrPX7iz6

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp6hHVlASe

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZe8Mvei7X

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdBkogN4xB

"You moved out of the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyB8zcy9mu
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEXc3crVeV
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXexEkzAeKy
of alien or something."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK1UTmvqM1

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbUyUrKNd6

In a quick flash, a 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNu6C2MsPa
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeYa7vP9Qg
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONbOYn8KyP

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymi5qXvxUD

"Do you want more of 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMavjmnaLZu
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1K6wQdbmo
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqWAhq78I8

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlCKKHdvul

"You got that right." 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiChxBJTDI
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt1dbUQOQ0
ignore her like you're doing forever."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3u3qbrIuc

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVIiajZIZB

"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."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1xeQClC9R

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWoEudZaxL

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzfdhtawbj

"It's normal for someone1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9TWwy0usi
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaizn9G3Ys
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatEmVRWc2w
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWnJuqtaxK
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ600frDGFle
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsiiFPNgkI

I always hated such kind1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAbfiltcIy
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2pev6OsDL
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCTLnd8B3N
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFH98kaHBI
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GbUKfyvYc
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq68fADLHm
nothing.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIppnpvoz3l

I've never told anyone 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK0P5Vm2Qs
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcqwxCO2gR
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKripYrgn9
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe89tJVcYJ
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwkLERU3YR
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bsd87A6my
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLWtr7ILt7

I am Yin and she is 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwO40KL4bg
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCqzMf83mQ
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR9ZGXsp3V
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCL4UJWtHa
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiptBTgLD8

And now when I needed 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLKlYxJfGr
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCziyEkOpf
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mbehgEy6L
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz4fFNsZqb
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdcFmpKCpF
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFKEno9MOP

It all begun when I went1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YuG8VL1Bz
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A2Z3H4zgz
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgon9z7rs75
this mess.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf7vpJcdeY

We were having so much 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXzSDZegf0
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVDsqilTnu
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr3VbI0mlz
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7a5ySwHli
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC22hEcpEn6
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygxh0yaGuc
things did go wrong.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V4KqTQ3Pi

As we were watching the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIoGtIUlqS
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvsDktSPjT
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIwwUmi2Vv
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCgXzPyaN5

When I looked at him, he1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEELFEqyQT
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkxlNh9QB3
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FsUJEsi8j
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qKUhONw2t
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iLQMbl9SN
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnrSj62acb

After the show when 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pgctNVZfo
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBaZCRKljg
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn9GBwf6uz
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5DRUFvAp4
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ149nKp7i4r
take a few minutes.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlFxktO6dl

I didn't find anything 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDIxvHIUyz
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDExHb1pOy
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0rZ2ZdwQO
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJApIzRwqI
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujQUVyRPvL
too much.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQEiIqYj5U

Jehan led the way out 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotdcPpIWFw
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmHr6KoVhi
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgOgdSU5qK
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3sMTeNvcU
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyTrrko13d
that I felt a little safe.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VfPIpYE53

The two of us soon found1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr7JkUxmGW
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNpwdilWE4
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarrOa3nHMM
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTW9SxLH5l
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGssaqQnZh5
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrNbUsebl9
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH52knosSwM
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgh8TmAEtW
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6cqGL87gz
menacing.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUSpjoAjwD

He gave me something for1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI1qJxcdy7
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPQt8G4zDa
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBksHXOne50
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHEZQNKSSl
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuhgqUXE9e
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzOXiq1YKj
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OAZ0cXXj7

Whatever he sent me that1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ1RfCSwsa
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr201L14cPD
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFjse4ClDn
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjylOg1Lp6t
happened yesterday.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl69uI2Tbt

I had never been in this1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvwnCYZdVb
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnrVQJNUy0
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fq7EbYjm9
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCevegUwWSp
crying out loud. I had to do something.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGR6XgX2JK

My phone rang bringing 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZgLktI1jp
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5ISPrAaBI
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJt9eQnTlv
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNJHePwwvJ

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzMUhRAwjj

"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.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcFfOiqmmB

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuz9WwAehz

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXV22P9xp0

I would have told him to1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gFnGxMuNA
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA14VSl00E
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPQJ0pikes

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahgFXK4u3R

"Looks like you aren't 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuQ4oqTXsn
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LqNAnSKEL
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgc271c31C

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAFgt7IEeZ

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo8ChIITaP

"Just get to the point, 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVncQQae44
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡengictpxUE
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6vv13XIQb

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3aGLejmpb

"Today? Are you serious?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNMiXadrdX

"You know that I am. We meet today."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewQRulG1hM

"But where?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyktiT8E3EO

"At the mall."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUGQ3oGCt6

For a moment I almost 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXniHGpoKRT
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzpGPVI8yR
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WVFdcssZw
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD7oZegsve
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITeH8dv6Qv

"What's so funny?" Jehan1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRg9PKUBz0
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpY1tbedhF
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IzAg17SZM
myself.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZcd2hIWG2

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtzCTxueaN

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyb4S2wRbB

If he thought saying 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPteOxWsoX
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRx9YIj3xW
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvueqpAWCOc

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnhCu9sm3P

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUFj92nPQF

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3pqTEcRUi

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzOppGWjA5

"Ya, sure."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8NqLC6F6x

Jehan didn't say 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcYk0mgqYW
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlvEsKKqGK
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOoisLNDFW
Typical.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNbLIUiknD

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdfGOXXxzH

"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."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMCpIa2v9t

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVpQC5WWh9

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92u01h3ifL

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSsTcD7QJa

"Why? You think I would?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAsI1bGEQZ

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71EpX3q9Vd

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMmu1wGbdr

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8btNbJwUCH

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9q6lniz0E

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoGg8EUvg4

"That one. Where is it?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnxcW3FfT8

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWQCl0Udwr

"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."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroXFlQGMye

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW2MIiIZTF

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv7rMF39ay

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYyus7YQTQ

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrqO3F8DOr

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpKFHBUXwl

I quietly went over to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1iVcNhch5
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTCoz0qRTg
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WdKn60wJP
soon.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI4ili6Ikj

I came to the drawer 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0RzHEeKH2
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkhXjl3Pni
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgTB4hMVMQ

I looked at her bed and 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5lfSbTvyA
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRrG9adz2q
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAUYcm0Uss

"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."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx30HuCLKYK

I heard the tap in the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAnNcuMhyO
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0vgjP9Ftq
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenYNmSxgnu
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4o58LJ9zg
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7crpttwnj

***1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOBE6NGNAF

Sam's P.O.V1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSUYNdiAzV

"Do you really think 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3bqE6HiWg
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt0VxFMwcU
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci0oJ2tA5h

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSHIpq3q3G

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA90hombORX

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlphr5r9tzg

"I hope it's not drugs."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMoPQMxqJF

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0jObvG1CH

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM92TyIKso

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kSKkb7071

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolHp1YzRib

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzckTJokXjI

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4DaxRlFc7

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB41Cs8mmJk

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5JQWbLCZq

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhed7VyT7V

"Zoey."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY0uM9uIHK

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOs37PmCyV
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IAZ6d4QpE
they couldn't because of our little fight."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7elkJqtMu

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh9WEetn1F
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEcL7wkbbU
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQMWN6uHYF

I raised an eyebrow at 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EA4X4fxM8
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl3KGWqDfz
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekDjhYEQ0C

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q3E0RzB9Q
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhloOCFl8Z5
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87sv0mvp7K
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOLQ1q8mGh

"About what?" Lee asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaydeSqHhrh

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMh03Irv11

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWguJByqgJ

"But today might be the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpXekkmI2W
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCqzzYdOHV
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AdCej4dm3

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP90gUAk5sN

My heart rate quickened 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYTI8YlH7B
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa20MXMOWpY
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mNVOc8Rtl

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzxFhNMy9Q

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PraDDGPPw

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtU8VwHHLn

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA17WSHfPl

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKk1tSYWCe

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc6sEUJ7Fb

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nt0fudR9s

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u77TyyKd0

"Alright, thanks, 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaRByeCopc
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KO0kQbKho
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5hyLaL4Fd
Seungri."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTNtm5jvnA

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQCDjdCdnl

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysA2Wkw5o7

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9PBwEzqBI

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6zryI3u0A

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t1JDr9ULs

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscPHyJi3Yn

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWdpIfbwLA

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZRz8PviaE

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCOd1LLxtU

"Yes, I am." I could 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ErteiBmJD
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINdxPwDrG4
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJisME10ZH
perhaps?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRH8YG3mjB

I rolled my eyes and as 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz1Cfm5Niv
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E13oc4lV1
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxGAFTWlmU
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqakvdwoSgU

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0YYHHkbku

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvNocCeuMi

I bit my lower lip and 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWfzuZyY1B
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELuTEFQHGK
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc4qwrt5ZV

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CjTx59sDS

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC2du3npZH

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOcXTStM8j

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXyDUnu2ZZ

"Bye."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDKFi4mD8H

"Bye, my little kitty."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGhFAJ7xXx

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuakc8fzfe

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uzf0fPZ4q

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9n8xWIiWK

"Nope. And he isn't 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmtA82VfYJ
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cbber9vBX
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUnJhUaSVz

"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."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapBSo5BO45

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmslmL15c8

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvveXI2ODb7

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdvrnjwMNu

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmqDGNTKYe

"Tell me about it." I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VSYP8Dh2p
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4vFTcFslZ
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ0SZWjvP4

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mIoFu6lVu

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ93OQWo3f8

After we were done with 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7XAnmEcXD
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkECVRXneTb
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX5NgtBZTR

As soon as we walked out1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxPa7ouorD
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1WwRiVH79
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXf4PlzKSM
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEIHZtMvxs
looking black suit stepped out.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKygMe20vaf

Time seemed to have 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZgA2MWLRg
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85z2p40RQe
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6BWVlaVya
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNFB5cZVqi
something familiar about him.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0IXYdTrii

Just as I was about to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb30Hi4NBLl
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrs7MPjn6D
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2T8Eov8e3

I almost tripped and 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFcf3zxk1l
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXd61M3Ltk
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuId8DryCK
me from falling.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKrNvXNl18

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJvFCx0JqW

I didn't say a word as I1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9D4HppGeL
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXmGLxJ3IZ
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQQzMcFYDi

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkkFCexyWb

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBDV44gDL4

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNue4ZLwx6w

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3t42hjpbR

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuTEacPyVD

Narrator's P.O.V1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfDIlrxnr0

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqDMJvN6k8

"Hey guys, am here," 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7VcdGKBAZ
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPczvq95ySe
look downcast as though someone's just died."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I9rv9SGbf

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiT3AaIzEM

"This is getting real 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UT0cXGpxZ
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hEkU0TV6f
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudTr4hmEgu
her or with anyone of you."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmPWocV2Ep

"No, I think now is the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaL2lGslPW
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CoVyCtbd4
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD5LrXoWZB

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB35vXSX1m

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFkSOnF5XF

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o6hWrSaZP

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCtc73dVvp

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQriYMEaiT

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXgPWWYJJK

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCv7FGo0HV

The others rolled their 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdMUzOQO5O
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw0hbfuwCb
around and now wasn't the time for it.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkC1nTSOXE

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzotW5yhFDZ

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7vNNyNZVV

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdK07zzXHq

"Well, maybe," said 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1rKtxLHXP
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK974YhNcVK
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczJsM36o1m
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLumgeMUqRY

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DMACaGSfs

"When I saw Daesung and 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uSUc72y2G
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4KDSfeyDO
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIopMTOK2p

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1kNraOjEL

G-Dragon didn't answer 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteClfL1FvI
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgOwTmh5np
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc89gBhG1S

"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."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rYrrnYCT1

"What do you mean?" 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuPV8tlfD9
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRCY3FqbNq
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP93dTMouT1

"She was just doing that1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXEgdfU9Iz
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01ZgJjxAmU
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWglz4g0b12
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0cyYsoeDs
be together."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGqsnoFFbD

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6BBTJNuUn

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROihIaTqrb

All the four BigBang 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TSJRvo13y
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyXo5n7tm6
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4oujf2mA0
heard him come in.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFf0Dc4ObX

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupicWWORxR

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7PgYoP40Z

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQHEw5Dl4s

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2RuKysAUT

"I'm not going to stay 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv4w5ogqWU
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11lD6kar6P
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrORrarhfQo

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY4v5V6stw

"No, I don't."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpz485ilXR

Before G-Dragon could 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFYoCJWoDY
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbrQPjssoU
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtkxinx9g0

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNGeXaKR2I

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0BW9TWPqi

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Aw7SXFSn

G-Dragon folded his arms1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuqLCoNYYx
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjSPTHQhse
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmIkyMdqrL
stared at the ceiling.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa7WVqmKak

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Au9AC5EGE

Daesung came into the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxn6ptgfFG
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJanuKaN1c
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6R2ehHZn7

"Look, I know you're 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNDGBt3o78
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfem9rAagP0
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04hRkzFtoE
never told me anything either."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XwidTfHVd

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz04Gng1KJq

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPMNvkL8g6

"Why?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97X6FadJFB

"She just felt like it 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2t4g5OzDj
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJFuqzOjBr
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs0oEB6YTi
long distance relationships will ever work out."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZfTuLRUqj

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbzwHPYkh5

"Because I know I'll 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyLOEfsILv
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqlAmGMwBz
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCU4iKQTTQ
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pMcb6dO6X
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaNlNf0rUz
want to hurt anyone either.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKpCbo12BL

"Maybe that's why she 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa1uIbJqlv
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxnN2aitfu
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMluA0zyEW
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFwTbbhnXS

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly8LaziN22

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdwsQggklH

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LZwANvnip

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7skfUKkg1v

"I know."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HEZo8Gzfa

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLyJimEzgY

"I'll think about it."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN5PukFvsN

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTEUJCdWSE
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdNxfAYysB
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBUy258utC
the mall."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzJFlSpimB

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiLg6nbB5U

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2yrInECyx

"Ya," said Seungri, 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhLMdLAqmC
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC4Uc1cBLU
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQkZJMSH88

"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."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35dYN7hhSO

"There is no time to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztsyJDzNI7
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8NpQ43UKL
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56d9Vr3tJx

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlC00ltBda

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXvIZ5hOAe

"We're your best 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNv52VGeQt
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK6AZVgNMk
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuvzNUi5kC

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoZlE3G4OY

Zoey's P.O.V1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc0nxSUDM2

I came out of the black 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zTUUM9Mkw
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQn9G7TbZ4
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoeQu8IQov
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe15edzh7PI
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX27uiwEpii
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX5mtR8mp7
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlZLdCyckh
by my fans.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYkT6JJsDG

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwpIlfYzM6

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQKePXnbRw

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tnOutOiYr

"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm9O3ulM8T

"Okay."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TLF38rTxK

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoQbK6ZyEX

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvH5UAwSqd

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k0VdecwqV

"Well, I'm glad you 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuZiHGjGB3
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ltNg1h5Cp
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2OlqDidUx
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcuL4Id10A
lot smarter than you think."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhtNsLzAGU

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVX2yd8gdn

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTZ9lsnaVk
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKJiW5WiVa
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWJDZKTFuW

When I went into the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC9EO4Cccl
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtTctKKtvL
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JkyPw5HTW

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2mJEeJOQ9

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCraEe5j4N

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerLOTYwPVX

I shivered. Despite his 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHd4SdksJJ
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMJfQZLyGP
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cSdFquDkW
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9KhX2PaN0
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUThRNUBkLy

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWxKyDYUDB

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpnOXwPLcw

"Why do you need to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR3PP5FdWb
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfL5U63Hma
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxhgah2peo

"Well, I need to know 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5pmixxLHn
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBobiGhkZIw
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGrlD5ov6k

"And tell me, why should1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z9A68481n
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYkvxBjfNQ
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhzBimZbQi
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5amrKB1Xx1
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv6tiFivvX

"I...eh..." I looked him1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkTzI6MwWJ
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLDA3iBPIP
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfGVNEEjFt
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T7xxZHKPC
the kind who would send such a thing."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSq4UHJhQq

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVzx6AKzLl
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2eUs3ja3U
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1CO13rnCb

"I don't know." I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy0T6aGVkq
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgtVUaHmsw
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmBL1Y70bU
up to?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiq931CMrk

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmuRRtrOO4

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNqGffJgK8

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oYep1pK2n

"What's the matter with that?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7JViM6LXm

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09CbBpNK6F

"Don't test my patience,1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcCfBmjuO2
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBrPlKIvrG
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYV5j2Cp2T
think you deserve to you know."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzsmUpJNJA

"Well, yes, I do."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFWACgKSLh

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLjEkbzIpK

***1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP72ZNKUQS1

Sam's P.O.V1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wxRlKwsjk

I could see Zoey from 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPLKQEqnIs
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaVbwhhxI7
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdmQp176Na
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XzvzVlrqq
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGIwI8khGk

I was entirely grateful 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm65upyBl7Y
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1PsYwjp2X
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmflvA6L4a
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT4NNkpHYA
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbTmPzmru2
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMDlO87KAd
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSp3SG1fnT

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwKbcIGDjv

"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.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IdQqrfSek

"But how did you know 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZl0M3JUST
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdykJm56PoZ
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmfXGeyfZ8

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HLkM5ucvu

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zy50QNI9q

"Well, ya," I said as I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtt2rAGvOm
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuAZHtYSlk
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasQ7X3ycyu
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfjrTUfgol

Lee turned to the window1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdMu05PCR0
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LUWFGyYOf
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcsE5BsvCp

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTiPeJEzbd

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHdWgFrsRL

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4ojPWqcsl

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HhKqM1O6t

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmK2rYfDSb

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgk1YCRqGb

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtrACCfQcS

We made sure to keep a 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC9NAF8Y2k
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvNHcahXf5
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3udukQfDH
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡProWMiNjlN
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHBPZyxBKH

They went down the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRCH5x78Tp
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AVDjYoRrm
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nj3aLgd9H
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX661h1jD2

They were led by a 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROM2iGIst1
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEe5lQxVYR
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcPdnmAN9S
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXniBOrJBYZ
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsuhJfIkKp
restaurant.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54hR9tgddB

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOOsrGYNzF

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEteriWVLDy

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9roSGwsEm

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76YOzWkPGc

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhSfuFEN71

"Me neither. But what to1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFcREQY6Uw
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V2VLdfg0s
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KGETWLlBx

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQQUvAxvAm

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62AIKAn37I

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRoyewuT5i

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbuSC1zs1H

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4sSis9BHl

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVfQo1UWGW

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3EUXUpxrS

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sq53EB3DD

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9srQvtnoc

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuzGpADuvy

"Don't worry. Seungri 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQebIZlLcBF
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjJOHtGvML
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLARtNtkKN7
and she will know something fishy is going on."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT43ozLgA6

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmdPWmA1fs

Zoey's P.O.V1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo79fxRyLwy

I looked at the menu and1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wYNdsgTpf
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l2tzqv7Z6
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7h2OJTLbi
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUrZPgbmso
looked up at me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd1OJNfJOL

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCJHyTVjyj

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSlXrHSITT

"Why?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfirDc3Q7r

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIam1S7rkL

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnjms77soh

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u9DwPGZLj

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDC7827MIs

"What?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcOjEsh2vQ

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZCxvHpzfU

"I'll try not to next 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAeBh8RoI0
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna0MeCJA3D
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMo9pt6GiD

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoatU44SAx5

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOLgeK1CYH

"Not tell anyone."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfSjbFz7MQ

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP7AWYeWmu

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi52uoRQB6s

"I smuggle diamonds."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbRsA1P4w0

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmCGuHiyeR

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvA0WTtF9A

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCQxWRdDc5

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLsPsURqpH

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQyhDpdDB7

The waiter came with our1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7vgEvBdWS
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwmXRdHVb8
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzggxF7FzDJ

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9sOj0xI1R

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqBBa0ejSl

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjAI9MljTm

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj7U5QoCdp

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyaN5plhpA

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq69RCJgWPT

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsgpLw3YlG

"Is that why you're so rich?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu6Rn9MEWK

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkYoOEaLy3

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ4Ufyj2do

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OuiYwo61A

I gulped. He was giving 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSeV5nbE91
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYjascuC7Z

I was waiting by the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4veueMSZ19
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqOX6rmwLJ
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfpBfOZPRK
car? What was he doing here?1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0EiVGdaS8

Seungri came out of the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW3xIqABK8
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSDlo5byAS
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQQRoVSp1P
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6NV5qBkc4
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWelFot6G5
what I was expecting.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgNNAHntIx

I trembled. What am I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp75nLc6FfK
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTmeZjqy95
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbWHUZsYja
give Mr Teddy away.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TS2XLxnu7

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjlr2ChMph

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdt0s43GpC

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRqY5touzx

"I, no....I," I didn't 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkse7QbnB2
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kT8F8vy7i
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mq3X06yfg

"I was only expecting 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5WPTOGI1C
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvugXMGUdD
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrnMj51nhh
seeing the two of them together.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Tosb6RYi

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPjru6Hgxj

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4RteToWDe

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG1VHJRqgz

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ002ggHHtL0

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeYB5P2745

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbv6btGEie

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ8P8HKwPf

"Come with me," I said 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkLhdpTV1C
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRCItH4MPp
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBN0HFlSbD
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGmSkW2dXv

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB9Y8YhiiM

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMM8TILXJr

"Hi, guys. You're 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm34MOu1VN

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzMQENRJMz

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.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoI8hZwndp

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHGU3en9D4

look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XUYf0812m
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5GmLQNT9R
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoorojX2BMf

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXuEiNIx5Q

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvFMAH8lA7

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4GWxPErpw

"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."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtFjziZJEn

"We were also wondering 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiI0Vs5uIn
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB7v1usVaL
them, but decided that I would rather not."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v6HMD1Zt4

"Why?" Daesung asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVIa0mcd7U

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9TYD59odB
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkShAzWGhty
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFJGwy3cAL
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg6UVADb0M

"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.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal2nf7inPf

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFxcTG7EoG
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvlOUUwohj
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4cCYMAXFG

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqOMb4pZ2D

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa9zbGzIKJ

Everyone turned to look 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qy8JrdOrQ
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOfcdONlMN
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLyBlDVYma
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡissqbhIorb

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuxHhs3gwu

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7Okr64D3u

"Here you're now 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXMsUksN31
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqIbxaapfj
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu4mBIvmI0

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoxaBHHEaz

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxCjYrnKxl
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ227UzFtG1f
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDVrfrXqE6
something, quick.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRa6j1SMXd

"Okay, fine, we will 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4epl8FUzEi
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVReuhYhfKC
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd0BiMzI1Y

Yes. Finally. I thought 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSSeTwWaIR
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2lEfqdfjM
everything was going to be delayed.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWHmJwrq8b

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChd2aD35sT

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2DzMAD04j

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3wUE0G578

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmYzibI57F

As much as I wanted to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqKLluGK7x
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS5daktxKH
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8zoOO7eDx

***1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRryId8Hdp

Zoey's P.O.V1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jmH8R2kn0

As much as I tried to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC8nOBuxy7
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHgi5ywdB8
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RowbphU37
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94PZmADHEn
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMkC2wRnlK

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa5V2z6qs9

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gJyPYv7T5

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkAIL3MZcU

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI3FxEvKJu

"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.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnJLOKZTMk

"What do you want me to 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34WAVGCbDL
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasBYCIYkLs
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio2qrPOtKN
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YOdgSIU9P

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeo9aNT4ZZ

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fvsei2XMd

Jehan shook his head and1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RlXYWIPYf
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlBBecZEEl
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnBLoLhmCs
annoying."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbEfzyxGkY

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW89vX1nLm

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo0tYyAd1l

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1joLbXrBAq

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8HeeDUeeb

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yd9GiWKHa

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl77DKXLSLI

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm432bte2yM

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI4Ww6jLdP

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MKBoOlmn2

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GXtRWHUAJ

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7IYMj8z3C

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUufQVsumd

"Yes, for real."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOblZBl1fp

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwffQ6YbVGk

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitOtA959FU
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP54cdD1NR
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupNbR5jeG5

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHNUwd4q2u

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pASLkozV2

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkSxtx42sz

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAqAZTpaCB

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.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyCb65yduX

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUp6QCORg8

"Zoey, hey!"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JL5AdwjJf

Seungri? I quickly 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k4caXKHzV
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzdeuBljVB
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JJ3IfyeCk
here?1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2ObsrYCo9

They came over to our 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HkpaZ2PBb
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszvhvbLeon
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2oqBX9gQI
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoqipzUmBh
to do now?1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHveFdEOHGf

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt802fQnEYc

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1FRlzWKC9

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcWE3IAez2

"Jehan."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4tt96Br3d

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g9vUEkFnF

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aWDPqjAUY

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2esavqMRA8

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYYQWDQUU9

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcSD24L5go

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4X3cG7aoz

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1eg5jyB2Q

I almost spit out the 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuVOUmbqPX
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnPZpH08WO
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuSeZ8YI7X
to water.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAnKEplGOP

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq7zrb5PGW

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pxKMau9j6

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyHBydiivP

Jehan looked at me and I1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFJI5ewVPs
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfC0I8FcLm
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmb0jWlSUO

"May I ask what you're 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SzzFm4dtf
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi5yjaXzAL
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMStAYUFvi9

"Oh, we just came here 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJAx9udoqD
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGI1y1Lwo8
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk1EnGKp4r

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNbIyB3XnM

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwrgT4rB9P

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oHBA4dyiK

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kzFjelX23

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTyxmulwWo

"Yes, we will," said 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3qeG2htPe
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErYiQHfnCO
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO2GFdnP4N

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthxQVrFgLB

"You too," said Seungri.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFDdDjSX7X

Jehan gave a small smile1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS9WfrniiV
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrSC8Yu31Z
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPJrpCDdYT
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzE1pkIyyl

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgasTJlQk8F

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMp3IS6YZ4

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡussalB7KKm

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIzMD8lvcP

I wondered how I was 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJcWnpQIdl
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhUOJsFJyr
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjHLqWKYdU
head until I give the teddy bear away.1047Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspsHstfx0K

This was just great!
