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

Zoey's P.O.V880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZQtuHpjxG

Waking up this Monday 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTlJDhj8Ub
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfKCLTGUeJ
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaakiRN2SYY
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZccUsfxSa
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUmgx5kzZE
myself to be.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS2qDQlDwY

I couldn't stop 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAS4m7T9Kx
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfzsywvYT4
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDTa72xMWg
feel that something was wrong.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznKm4BbVCD

Could they have known 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6ecjpzkmz
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47lhRCV8KW
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK1vZzfAkB
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdjvCmsgu0
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Iwla6Bru4
just had our usual conversation.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbA6JkGS4e

I brushed off all those 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4asPIT2kbb
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN97TROA5nI
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYFJseR7Pt
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdqDoJYM5t
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxaUfiBhN6

But now that she wasn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat9sA3dTpT
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEqzhVDYU6
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RamTO2Rut
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB19xtHCka
woken up early before the alarm rang.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtXOGCbxVW

I sat up on my bed and 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLusHw7NqJ9
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUSeaIyYKv
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZObMwSpwcQ
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9WGyhMHAc
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxK4KIb62C

After seeing her with 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlShjCNfJ3C
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwKN4d7Hg5
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpiMLbfQrR
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk0Ukg0U65
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8exm2ZoD1Y
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hhg3Nfv55
day. That left me devastated.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxB5qa1byT

I couldn't stop looking 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLWxNuIdkJ
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXldxCdeo3P
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxceyonP8z
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01nOkf7Di0
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3MXH8FvzE
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCRTBLsG6o
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1ji8zCUJ4

That sent me boiling to a880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruF0pp57gH
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxyzfHKNDV
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6gtTwjpZY
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZX64eywka

Christine had told me to880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6go69k1eP
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUPpTdDM3l
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64WPyBh0BQ
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNia1VR85kw
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqTYtuisKH
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOb9ufgm4k
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoVnIfRGVn

And now, I had to face 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQee3O8qBSm
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumpa0uVPYv
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dss0llN7K
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaLUTcP4n8
was still so upset.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaDnlMNOHt

I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uBiliFf4K

After I was done, I 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7ToJvrwPg
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLJfI4kuQq
others at the dining table for breakfast.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIrrMktxmD

I found them already 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmA7KOUZ1x
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUh22YrQLW
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohgAuopBNz

I felt a little awkward 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesXIZDSGvk
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ477efxXzTs
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkXuFwWttU
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGYao8FEb1
that also felt weird.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsg88MthAd

I know that she and I 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aHJY14ooR
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOCwbp7XZb
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz98nJTfB9
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLup0Awk4gp
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bXc78QQ3o
like something was wrong.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Gd6mWlzd

I poured myself a cup of880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIacTS9DBJ9
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3fDGlXt5r
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY52yScR1Jz

"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWnJbMH2eB

My heart almost skipped a880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Dh82A8Vh
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL1qJDDjB9
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG35G7M1o2
too far. I was over here! Hello!880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORoyg3ws1A

"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhgaTyXd86

"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW39NyN5wSM

"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GSD9yUBC4

"I have no doubt about it."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cs6dv29XZ

"But I don't see why you880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAupc5vO3zE
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRMoMtDv2U
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTeB3b4eAQ

"One thing about fans is880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ850Au13BNZ
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7po9KdqwP0
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjeK2RaBLv

"I know," said Lee. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfVTUmdQmE
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi6clPg6Ge
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhu7oCM9yZ
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP57ghMJM0

"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclx8IZj0v4

"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNJFAbAANE

"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGimODSHAYH

"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIk47AuiK5

"Aye, aye," said Daniel.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iuoyYTI6h

"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j7FjqMknI

"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdewC4Flka

"You're just too quiet, that's all."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZE33jVWnT

"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr5DOS7erP

I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPDJFcNrDM

"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM6hhvAe2X

I stuck my tongue out at880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tQ3Y1wrBD
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pijmUTz6v
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpCNeTHiax
still wasn't looking in my direction.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIukUdAKRNv

Soon after breakfast, we880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo55OMFjym
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zFUqEBce7
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0kiXRqNYw
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN78Qs1rZmp
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyoid8MbjH
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VxUy4It8S
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYcdSl5wl2
she would.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxWkELF03y

We arrived at YG and we 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkCQia4Je2
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJzfclgnmv
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI5eZ9P9SK
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wj73XgpYm

When everyone was 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeu1UpWXLz
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85GnCLRTxj
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgG6gtl1Fv
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS4M7vSMvk
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LoRPz5bnn

He not responding to me 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dyi9I9PY2
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQosjFj3w1
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroG9JvKQ1m
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ3iNezt5H
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8BzYmq8TY
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHT0pwGiEE
looked away instead.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA5QhBsHM7

We went straight to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrlxvePg8w
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjpcL0a6EK
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R6r1iOnC7
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepw1I2lonE
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqGSgYUgNN
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX0FluDDsC

During pratice, I 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAgeAz4sk7
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXxmPly8gD
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFb1MeFjCH
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWWW71ci9n

G-Dragon wasn't the only880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sz8P9iIAQ
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw768069Er8
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYYL2yVGwG
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwUkTQHv61
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUFKkpRO0M
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPn2pv9PVb

As her best friend, I 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5Yt9NBsUK
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2HOnRsExl
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu3TzuVlA7
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaTwzJmnOs
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLZlj06Of1

She is also smart, 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGPPZJoOCY
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4acsu3YjRj
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxn2MAuPUJ
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep9qJPaigQ
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HeALxBcJl

Sam has a lot of good 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RKGAkGyzU
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfBVTTl8hL
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudMm43HgAT
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4xF4i89HO
want to hurt anyone around her.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LdkOnwgvF

Realising this made me 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGUnKD4XqP
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0AKhZtBOX
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwKBdGVODE
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpterBNBxMX
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUeQMZNTTx
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv0Kzkz6Hx
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGqZIZyp6l
realise it till now.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rlIlWe6fD

"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK2gsmkVdV

"Zoey, you aren't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2WVyHkxzs
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsh3xFae6Z
second time you have made the same mistake."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME5dlNiJKB

"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZR1vwshZL

"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuEhXtPcki

It was lunch the time we880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcTweIQT3S
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wYu1ZPOau
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheeRwLAHeT
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBjFTsFGsk
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gf9kOQ5QU
they were all laughing.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSKC8SBiRG

"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBPg8hNm8W

"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF6lREbBRU

"Still not talking to Sam?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU87hJSx1t

"Nope."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjblFgqrRNY

TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BFxyy8IFY

"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H1ESI4zin

"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2ajTNBY2H

"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyoOctHF0u

"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhcf8p4ZXJ

"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgloENvtNTG

"I know. But you aren't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUZErGPrl3
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3FQeDIdfB
You would be chit chatting like you always do."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqYlULa7Ul

"What if I just want to be alone for today?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouwHrYs16s

"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcuwVBrIsW

I frowned. "Why?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCRR7M0s1A

"Because you look miserable."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiml8U0NuH

I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqkYQ31Lmp

"Miserable!"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ce6oyHSX

"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJA1YkwdIU

I thought for a moment 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2DuKbPsFB
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNDHVYf7cR
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHZTeoCby4
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ywVAGIoMg
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC322s7pxu

Seeing all this in front880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHg0OXAXpL
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw1LPLuwSf
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpMuWPGsj4
Until TOP came to talk to me.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxBrKLRZdP

"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuldOdF86W

"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmg2MQV0nb

"I don't know," I said 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNmwwcqLcR
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oHY9J2RRV
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVZrCmU9jz

I told TOP what happened in the morning and how it felt weird that Sam didn't say a word to me nor even looked at me.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4GZEGk7ek

"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC00Bd11ac0

"Then why don't you talk to her?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr0ynishmj

"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQJ9SVRoH1

"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYk8ntbsSo

"I know."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99RFeh9AVv

"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLvfXrGPxS

"I'll think about it."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADBP3o2nWn

"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM7zSepGkF

Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhFzZRP1n9

"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquVtYXJQOd

"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHCWSUsZKM

The three of us went out880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1nqGUB49b
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtxW0gpMzq
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO7p6dIXar

As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpjGjQDweZ

"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMXxmbU5m1

"Chill, you just ordered880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQMW2Y8YHE
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjmyqmkeRQ
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARxheV61L2

"But I'm so hungry."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMNkaosFYk

"Trust me, you aren't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPNIbtj7gN
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK7dVc7rdD
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5z8gP8jRr
have."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN6l8JTHEt

"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeSNEJHT4j

"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5MRE6bNZJ

"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yw1F8vOdP

"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqa7WqSZYw

"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiR0bx77qd

I didn't say anything as880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGuCuNwEQb
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vYRqXWT4a
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj2NULZ3hq
calling.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuNzi12CTD

"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh0hreoD1E

"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kIotsiOQx

"Okay, well you better answer that call."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSLqHuZMRt

I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08TBVbHIFQ

"Hello," I answered.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgs07dJMSP

"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kUGThhTs3

"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XOXmg4xwz

"We have to meet today, ASAP."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v2ns85ton

"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd8ilD53xe

"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AwTVRJyGJ

I knew Jehan was going 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrnpZeZbiz
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZLaCoa2Hh
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXt44qVvWk
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC3itvQhaX
was upstairs in the dance studio.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFrhkt0aae

"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgesFoSj1H

"I'm coming to YG to get it."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs47LBW5E8

"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCO0kpPSlL

"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhta04WPSc

"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7224uSXba3

He cut the call and I 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq1GCklpE1
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqWq95kW5N
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq44Y0PzXm
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GewbbrV12
him they would start to ask questions.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1cbHY03qb

"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7rQ8xIZfc

I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58SNnVjNos

"What?" I asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXrV8e8bS4

"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmAIR3vXc2

"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAtHA9FXps

"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ5UQnlyZr

"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyHdakxhwo

"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKMaFELIou

"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQhk4Pcv0f

"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoN5qFUlbp

Dang it! I was cornered 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX4ER3hwrJ
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO5amvHWp9
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvGXm1hwHT
light no matter how much you try to hide it.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQvWWjyz6h

"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhvCgbSvrL

I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmFDMCSX8w

"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy20U1vXETT

We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSemDdBQHyL

I told them everything 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQAYcUbbfw
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dNouyvotS
said a word until I finished the whole story.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Flu6oP6Qj

"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNexnEbqi20

"Just you two," I answered.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA8izLm97P

"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCuvLsNbMG

"Surprising, right?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9uOfNtYvr

"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2p5aW5u2t

"We should involve the police," said TOP.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUOZHCax1i

"No! We can't!"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNccG1BCFh

"Why?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRok2ieJLq

"You know word goes out 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRawQtgh7fY
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnSyLU33K6
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsKthpNYqA

"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq83g6QZnf

"He assured me that this880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsh4srRbIc
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumKWCuHhyq
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuxIFqFfty

"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkg915OSyY

The three of us turned 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIOQsEnTff
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKxU2Ykygc
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLDKgshtnU

"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABrkgjlxPA

"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZEz8DFJiW

"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKozVrCHYFm

"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9NxFE9ZGM

"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx74MEyui8

"Random stuff involving a880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlbNDvwbeY
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlZaRkjZ2c
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiOB8CB3VY
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0dPGOctrc
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpCTHxcIUH

I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaSZ75EKH0

"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1RzRGn1Yn

"Okay, I won't."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YiWxDx3j4

"Sit down."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCTSL2qDY9

Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ2pKikdH5

"I got myself into trouble," I started.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsErNbhefiG

"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo06nXVJhPE

"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy34YY1w4n2

Christine's face soon 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD4eeUQfjO
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUy1GHSFZc
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLqHdIwNc5

"What!"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqBbpxJksm

TOP quickly covered up 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpey2vQhcCW
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSVqbQqZUG
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oNWcpslyD
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSYWtpX9cj

"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzkEBpdC21

"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqagSZJ3ta

"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66uv0A9Yuq

"Of course I'm mad!" 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d1vLgCxYq
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDpaM4vMwK
but this by far is the worst one of them all."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwPcQzkzlF

"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6We50fSCCA

"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULv5yIRA71

"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFKL49AIKC

"Ya, I remember. What about him?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlvbXyBoPy

"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7MLPTA1bO

"WHAT!"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVBZImQLF0

"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM7R2WrDPC

"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaejEGjuP7c

"And the one I met at the café," I said.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM4159pDQW

"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RnEQcpxmY

"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGAWgFOYOY

"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgKNBgLGGY

"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D6vUsaykp

"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fMOH7bAyM

"Ya," I said. "I planned880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN9Ghw6WcX
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55QXRiWM9R
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe73VI2ohLX

"So you're the one who 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YD8IvFuiv
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhmmGR9lmu
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLjuFN1oYk
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwNilhR1ZQ
out with Seungri."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgGKx3KJq1

"I lied."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwTDAkVoue

Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcowmtgz893

"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkU41cXjvT

"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKoRERrFSo

"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWHa3nj2xi

"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN8x359GwT

"I know. Now he wants the teddy bear back today. And I don't know what to do. He wanted to come here and get the teddy himself."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MxFnetLDN

"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbUJr32yIX

"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4GuqQxAI9

"Now where is she going to meet him now? She has to take that teddy bear away or else it could land us into more trouble."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjvBnlb8JS

"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdngDYLL3PD

"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjldMEe7AJQ

"But where?" I asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKFBg3gemZ

"Tell him you will meet at the café. The one you had met him in last time. TOP and I will take you there," said Seungri.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboQCtFDFWl

"I'm also coming with you," said Christine. "And don't refuse." She pointed her finger at me when I opened my mouth to object.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlBG4Cn2hO

"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdawyOwVuo

"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI1PDl1H9q

I took my phone out and 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSo2jr6chX
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv9Skud65l
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ9F0WXUJ2

"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJksTkO4lp

"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GIoYJl52T

Seungri had ordered ten 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVlyrlXcqI
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2NMweqmcy
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5auGuKeY5B
favourite.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvRr7RLmGu

We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdEPWv70gd

"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknm9NyuycA

"I'll be ready for 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xoV4ppfJB
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4qlOo1vpL
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM446Naxkq

"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51flnPPNjs

"And G-Dragon," TOP added.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpghRNJZBGa

"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznq6DadFZo

"Well, someone has to," said Christine.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCwR7y6Em9

"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8dOnEGJm6

"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujFAGN4TYd

We found ourselves back 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZVMupSL2J
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbb82Kztm5
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W9ih0pfbm
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWwhAmtkvg
paranoid?880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5MypG45iW

Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYduytysIaB

"What?" I asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfugY8ZFfHH

"You were frowning," Christine answered.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpesttqc9Cd

"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnESRN6bqMS

"Says the person who 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHQDgKsiIC
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoDCz0rRPT
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz0JnhE7jS
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNLbv6N1Iv

Soon after lunch, we 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNjgR80kFY
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2IycyDKkH
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rcXjdxBIN
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n1JW2HuNV
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gkOvFW34H
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwADvqW0yi
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2geBSCKZrV

At some point in the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pVcVrogWu
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeLPMddboH
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXoKbiPozF
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yYsJ2GcL9
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK0moGZjjx
back to practising until we could pratice no more.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T9x65sIpG

It was five and the sun 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkH6E4HcTb
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhOCeib9kX
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04JwURSQ5G
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIRjZEQP26
side of me. We were all pretty tired.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNZ8UDhamC

The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ySqeKTG9

While I was resting and 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun8AldAa0M
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KEOioxmsd
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmy6OLILwq
look on my face.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoiEgtjPaA

"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5tUuEdRQz

"Go? Go where?" I asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX88HT9MmcW

Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PirxfPVyL

"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8c7PewQ00

"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuIUTJgk3O

It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkI3oghTZ7

"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSKZy99oDA

"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbHf5PCDLu

"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK3slSQoPx

"I want to follow too," said Daniel.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrNe8qbLtG

"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfJGtWBSeD

I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxjDhsk3pt

"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBg8jOakf5

"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGVRSHL3Ao

"Ya, me too," said Mike.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP46DStzln

"Why don't you want 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XT4ocLGQ1
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrR0PNFpty
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCty1ihUyN
not to follow."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB8qnPy20B

I wanted to protest and 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWFU6Ozkjb
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvdPWf6iw3
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPIV59iwWY
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Fc99U65t

"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q7t9bhQlJ

Dang it!880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKww5NryZg8

"Okay, you'll find me back at the hotel. I'll tell Collins that you had to go out," said Sam to the others, giving them a smile.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi0t4I9Uke

"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ8Zq3JMhl

"Thanks, that's nice of 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ3djbnkeJ
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i7JFvbtaY
the others. "Have fun you, guys."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SkpY0VZQi

Sam and Daesung left the880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus6kERkFAq
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsveEFX9D9W
myself that the two also made a nice pair.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFjU8jS9z0

"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2VD0VWq2u

"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllv7mtR9C0

"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7676uzo2AG

Christine stood up from 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ850wxXHrDn
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWrRkeRrWv
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB4BNBwMPT

I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgCP9BykYY

"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzES3JkucY

"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuiKa7jBFM

"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPlwjkwGdZ

Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP1GS6xS5q

I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtyxmc4lCZ

"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtnj7MjiIO

"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJpkEVXtUg

TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpPzENBpCp

"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3YsWlr8wc

"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnL7FTP5xR

"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbbno3Nr9i

"I know," said Christine.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2OgHuAvwf

"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hz85Rke2b

"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0X86UGRmz

"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWH1plhJPh

"So that she can judge me? No way."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCS1F9Lkc9

"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv1wa5CfPk

"Don't try to convince 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbMsUe2ZXU
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiOsvxpzfo
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNB4XXDRmf
like she could hit me with a hammer.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2II5KapdVh

"Okay, let's go," said TOP.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd4pgHcbtn

I got up from the floor 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGECzhZ2Eqe
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslV8UK20Bp
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0KMKJnpBA
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdRIitCG2c
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TkVd6CVWU

The cars soon left the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYs6IzFS3G
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnidOVyY1p
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuPy9xXw6i
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKhASGzfR3

"Can you you please stop880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvMvgKwcaF
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNocX6EhVok
the teddy and lose it in the car."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeJJJPmqCF

"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNjV7TUZLi

"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qYl0L2Bc8

I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO1Fr9KJg2

"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KqaLDrZWA

"I just want to get this over with."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l7kqzH7kL

We were soon packed 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerwpcNAb7q
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwnUYm9iHe
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW3WAkqSyv
turned to look at her.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI92jshdnD

"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2W49WWCnw

"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWRJCikK48

Seungri also turned to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8FKBtkDw2
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUzpaKVhwT
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hy3yxc84f
chest and I wished Sam was here too.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA7B6RSMlm

I soon got out of the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJacpRDT3Q
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlCxju9zOd
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F8eITRsPy
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxteMSgFgeG

Before I could find my 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyLx89WNWa
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa51GMUq5rB
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0tE7PF8B9
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVds1Ovk6E6

I quickly went in the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJba6h4ozZ
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPglEIzPzO
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26hYVqsxvZ
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTQJQkRjxq

I slowly approached the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETsxR4rlNV
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXfuhDFNQx
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1pvqX3663
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwNLktoc6u
hesitate to end my life right here.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshyCac9rYx

"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNOcjpZ8Lb

"I was practising today," I answered.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmlKFAuZ9Y

"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpPzmmL2uu

"Thanks," I frowned at 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8ObzjGxNj
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dOJAqTEtS
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tYQJ9HQio

Jehan smirked. "Certainly."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDGFnFZ6Jw

I quickly reached out 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcAQUzXuaY
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ0qocuBxa
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjKm0uKQ5V

"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4wpxOWlyz

"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXncUAMII3

"What now?" I complained.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIQTo3iiDn

"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAYnW9g4uu

"What do you think? That880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnNUGTCuBS
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pkmz4UBIa
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m99EgTgoh
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetRK718hvk
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiyD2EXsSs

Jehan raised an eyebrow 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIdZxBXHMw
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGdmOBdMyz
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfATTO90Beo
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTFcPRmxvg

"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡophaHUmVWJ

"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsWLkl3mJC

I went back to looking 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf4fIc03Id
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjaqfAgAHD
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqtXkDJj4p
surprise me that he carried that thing around.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIMpicnxzy

Jehan slowly laid the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiECXbJ3McE
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLjeZCdTvZ
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr2PJ39ip8
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdrSqXG9H3
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMrXm0f9B6
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhowL6pQGiS
the teddy bear.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanzM9ZaWMj

Wait. I frowned. This 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdeuHQuhT9
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVQDq1GLy4
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuwE5o5m2F
diamonds!880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8pE6wOyZS

I stared horrified at 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsPxQ8zrbp
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijnBAUjk75
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFpKM7ocUp
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuXKfIRk8V

I looked up at Jehan and880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2zZbV5461
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSxkcnONLk
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCcYEZweJT
that, he was going to end up traumatised.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfM7ZrGv42

"Je-Jehan," I said 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfT7BsKyAB
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil8GQJWrOV
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMx59TtFcX
there."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVePy568H9j

Jean neither moved nor 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgEzOaVMY6
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDfIeTBtkE
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylVGTHw1wx

But how could this be? 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPa9c1FPre
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidGnlz1WZG
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nSv9HDrAm
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOhKzJkpn8

"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6q8ySIulb

"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmlFKpQp2I

He banged his fists on 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdxZ7G1T0V
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB9usnWAIW
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFGO18FyyT
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII5ElVWGtn

"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GomVHyh0y

"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3S3q9gbOZ

"I don't know. I don't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvCZyXIZsH
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNymghYwkb
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP6faPU3AY

"How did the diamonds go missing?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdgpy7pHGP

"How am I supposed to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHozeIndm9D
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1BXLaYAuL
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPatakJwzN

"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdD7aLl3QZ

"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmjuHG5bd7

Jehan rubbed his 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TPQ6UmiNz
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hvbd3S7KU
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvYF78v4Yb

"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB8KkWKcTR

"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6HlJHciZf

"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfLPn9C5o6

"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EaedYgpKe

"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J1kllbXdo

"I don't know."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuIJwB7RAa

Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbTeVmZeB0

"Ummm," I looked down 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwac3RrmaSm
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbzlwP1qPd
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PRDw3TjR6

"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgn7itDxdF

"I didn't have the teddy bear with me at the hotel the whole time," I said, looking at him fully in the eyes now.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MVSLdKUNk

"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjbqA3koY8

"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy5ufe0DgI

"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRDnKo8Wr9
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLc5gSuUSW
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3tvPJt0Hy

"I don't think so. Lee 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORLjfsSGZO
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF3YjKVjtW
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkBxhrJb9i

"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoQ8cAbqGX

"You're right. But if she did find out about us and all this diamond business, she wouldn't keep that to herself. I know Lee."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEGVmPEbVT

"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFjQGtWiR3

"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIBz7CUVbd

After I said that, Jehan880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqRzZcSkZw
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRsJH2uB77
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCblYiQMSd0
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNedNLnDz9C
look on his face.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHbqbwZ6Bg

"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnuRgtUWsv

"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OPk3pJ5f8

"I remember one of my 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7F5UCSO78
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz62aKhYlv5
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NvLybP5it

"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLX3MHbOCa

"Don't snap your fingers and be all happy about this," said Jehan, back to giving me that angry look. "I need that teddy, now!"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpHjxkfoPy

"Huh? I can't start 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5T2zJBQe1
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQMW0ZYEQT
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L8MwbdDtT
that the bear is missing."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIAZN7igSm

"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp4kD7LyDy

"What do you mean?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGydWAnLrk

"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQctBvdMPT

"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ92UKndJf

"Now that, makes no 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd0BvwDrgv
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZFnrWJsE4
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqCdSR3rXO

"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5NUafBak2

"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrbqEwJuxd

"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho3nNvSwZT

"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp91MAwq0B

I completely forgot that880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx1AMwzlXK
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgiq2cdeYL
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJeolqgOI1
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsoty9iuEF

"Okay. I'll see what I can do."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQkYWY0Pwf

Jehan gave me a smile. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodBSY7h5X9
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwy1VTRZJU
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUzV6jjcwk

I nodded my head and 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YIkOeHnr4
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtFesFw6e3
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c0W9r46sx

"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr74y8rc6k

I sat there as I buried 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOqYJFRc05
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUanzAEsf9
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60mfyBKAIB
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cI00z1xeM
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0TPwOXm1v
drama that might just ruin my life?880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZNQvcnnNa

I hadn't noticed the bell of the café ringing because I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I looked up, there stood Christine.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquP3Sej1Np

"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymD5GE99yA

I could hear footsteps 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqH4XK3hef
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUPNpa4oMo
when they saw the look on my face.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9H5sjU8Hk

Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIYae1DOeD

"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGh3WsGC6p

"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraod25DLzp

"No," I answered. "He didn't."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ74vkZcG3

"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhifQlv5fa

"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl79lHCllrI

Mike shook his head. "But who? We didn't know what that teddy bear had until now, so, it couldn't be anyone of us."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1bXNX9tTv

"And what about Lee?" 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW2gwHrMnp
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwEhGeJrSp
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITBZhU4Q0q
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6y6RoMJoa
to."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJTjIBOpGp

"This is bad," I said, 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTomtwk4vz
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs558kBWfvz
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XFWDn6Hbo

"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGH9J9WPbP

"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF2I5NF2WN

We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KXGF5B3TY

"Sam?" I wondered for a 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhjjpXuCCQ
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVBJo0NAvV
she have swapped it with the other one?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVn2aIw2yH

"Okay, wait," said TOP. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxXT1L5Eyf
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstz1ULfG05
what's really going on in the first place?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspxtVpVtDM

"I doubt it," I said 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPdAZ4Crin
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRACRUXQkZZ
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZXNhMfmnd
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QnInPFa3x

TOP and Seungri looked 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TBjUp35cf
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiKTTjFwV5
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM6mHatvR3
it away.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw9pCElfbX

"I highly doubt it too,"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAA79bDA6H
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei3tO7ceQt
she would have asked us about it."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd79XKdd3m

"That's true," said 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwinQLjVRGZ
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCiCd8vlDr
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdpkTz4lAu

"And I checked out the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKeWdKmTj2
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ePGXtLhTd
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGXI851Jnv

"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsyvLpaXWc

"No, I highly doubt it,"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus3pEhNVt3
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAb0id2IP5
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuvAUKj5WR
said nothing about them entering a toy store."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN31hLDcxuW

"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaVtNP9tbo

"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyr4geqc1v

"Collins?" Mike asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpJDYMZvEQ

"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUbHIOUaU3

"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kTjWWgXUr

"But who knows? Maybe he880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SLPr67sOx
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClp8dIGMOC
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeVQWdokfA
times."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lnSXYX0m0

"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWMFAbEWIE

"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFlthPOCbx

"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV3865tzWp

Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLwpNTclyb

"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUgPUMJdNn

"He was the one who went880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt7gm8Rv04
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2SGxEbBrc
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSTFPfGVup
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbWPuW7spq
elevator."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsivL44g6t8

"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu3E8sVxh4

"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr60S4vKnF

"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZayPUqjSb

"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgsRfE03Mz

"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0rY1emD2E

"You're right," I said 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oqPluo9vw
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtHAp3aEVr
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZLx6Iely2

"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjZJQwhSnh

We all walked out of the880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDo3LHncMO
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlrRkPYiIL
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraLYaOdy4V

While I was in the car 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhscTKCYk6
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL92Vnm81jC
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kl9CK06jc
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFJ7nVCy54
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJV6myUjbu
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD9ZUTWUfH

If it isn't him, then 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjuOyPdhhy
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg3XEbXTRl
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPilpw9Mmx
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCFMjeAGM1
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10fhxhNVe5

What if I had the wrong 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDexthB3Fz
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyqYGC47qM
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihIbx4xZq4
place without any of us noticing in the first place?880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UyeSW0EjB

I hope I could be able 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf4R1tCunX
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkrQvGGD7N
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nfw30Q0y2
happen.
