My watch said 10:31 and I hissed in frustration. I was getting really impatient and I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC5GD3XJmW
I had never been this 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3536bLuiC
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fq2c5HlDj
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPngiYq7X1j
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIinD9mkJ1f
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsS1NQngGs
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmee7r4c5R
"Sam!"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlQmDwdxun
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV51YoFwTJ
Zoey came out of the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYobmwsvm1o
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pJWpz2eC1
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJTiNi7EBW
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8gv2mrMiD
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HBHuGK72O
"You've been searching for it all morning," I said as I stood up. "Can we please just go to the studio? We're already late."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKshoUq0GhZ
"No, let me go and check again," Zoey turned around to head back to the room and I groaned so loudly to grab her attention.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl1OiOd5r6
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eXNhW2MnM
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGJlKha8s8
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANrSARV8HC
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUxliqMZG9
I ignored her and said, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGBmyYqP07
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS58WoTuGs
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgksxVXJoZ
"What time is it?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ho9mWvOOC
"10:35."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEwHndeaSu
"Wow, time really passes by."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOdbi78boT
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyA2VKfaew
"Let me go get my phone."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzPMuapWd5
Zoey rushed back to the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAJscPrLqr
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5HQyoewzC
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVbPwhnzGA
that was Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOoMS28ZV1
I soon received a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D7xy7qomP
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzVLiGbthj
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvROMeHMSxu
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ3dWUrIE9
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RcUMCvEQM
"I'm coming."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSNElxZYqt
I started heading 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAiWOZ4jN1
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKY2F1Q5eT
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmid72iBbWN
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW61UO9uRAP
number. A number coming from another country.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs16L5vrLXj
"Oh, who is this?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZfndStdOp
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1jdyvE6m9
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm6mzjz5iV
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdKsreTRuB
"Come on, we're already late."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96x3fgUEAj
We went into the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2dcSKVuKO
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02d34qqO3W
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd7IZ65kHD
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuMwIVrVsb
When we got to YG, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXtHGGp7BJ
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwLrxWnPFY
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVMAdR3ygo
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieTeIzmBy0
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPs8SOqzlA
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzA3xXOYMC
Zoey held her earlobes 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPx0nKSyQE
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMZIYAdswH
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZcn2xwXJY
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWKD6bPQtg
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBSCJRJWvT
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ONGZe8PeR
"Remind me whenever you're deciding who sings which part of a song to let me be there," said Collins as he turned to look at me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj6IE5Cmrz
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzDzqLnUGt
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QZG7MTFAR
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0pOrqY24x
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbavqLdmpl
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfi8BaRtTb
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMd1wKYot8
"Then let's do so," said979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6KukH0ZUT
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgCYXSgxyk
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZLoJUtCal
I had completely forgot 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1W5rL19Wy
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnIegJksEi
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXhs6fc6G8
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRhQsGXEM4
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm3SX4WYtH
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFIFkypV70
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTHdxNuHNU
In the live room, there 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GN4r9d8yi
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ5WfLUxb4
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY8yqMdBmL
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEMfyFIMo9
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uJfa8IinV
I looked at the others 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty1QJ3vXmk
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTHwIEADka
producer started to play the tune for the song.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNE8M9piNI
G-Dragon started to sing979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj7uEg94x1
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW8DYs2A2k
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfcSvpbHVL
to let them sing the first verse together.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9DtYGHwno
Collins, the music 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbIvQ1n9z6
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOYeW9aJm6
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoMH7zPAks
Christine then sang the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mAMz3bVZe
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4ZoO10gmM
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeOmAUCYXg
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QZ9sXKL63
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbUleztYH0
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBhCGWML2G
I smiled at Taeyang who stood beside me and I nudged him on the shoulder. "Stop it, Tae," I said. "Don't make me blush."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2xrohuy7v
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Omfhp8K5
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV63rfZd4B
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrY65MGc5R
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKN8vrlLnD
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB99y2Kb9bp
"You may," said Collins,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XzLxO6xFU
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGggoWnLcE
You have to work on the backup vocals."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx1P403bff
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvQRmn9PGz
If I hadn't known 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAdNXk5rEJ
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL66KlNycgp
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwmmBkqkT9
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze5tfHL9sP
hollow inside.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu3DkZZPwW
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpfMc0UMa1
We continued recording 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMV5Md49Fg
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK3BG5bXUK
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5f1DPuUkx
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83m84Hl5GZ
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb5M7DMS5V
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiQ5N1H3gs
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v5y4fCvyr
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP8pqf3HRQ
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUuJmkwcYs
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ANAPP4v5w
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGuwDg8xy2
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDcGven3Gd
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRfX0eTBgC
"But be back within an hour."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXyBNukzks
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ydCDzyvfW
"Fine, an hour and a half."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsRXirf9Ef
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO5lbrx8Rq
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJjM0GYffT
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJKL8ZwczJ
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQpHtfzCl3
"That, my friend," said 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa9Fen32nh
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfubtTzUKz
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46vaOtTysq
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguXeAqMEiF
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqBFn0R04d
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWtxnY6IxZ
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo2rKa0Hco
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQlAdkCniZ
"Whenever you want us to979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nXHJMTnPl
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRKqj1ULvq
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3j8LRUtY8
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyk9hqCxkc
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeIoJkoaxY
"Huh," I thought of all 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzB5pwmpFq
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRqT1w139z
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOomoI9AbU
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnluI6m8Phw
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrxUM8eaAJ
"Come on, Sam," said 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK9wykvW3C
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXpHFoDcfX
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KJSt7VA6x
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty8cuRK5RL
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NzIwIKDFo
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHOjUaAJvb
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCcvKeZZ12
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVEHnxLh0q
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT10CaA6CVG
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVuKedZC97
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvth59zOA1b
"They aren't here," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX1UG5nBAh
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTbym5PWfm
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0NnwxTdXt
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVbmuxMspq
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91OhE9R5Iz
I nodded my head and we 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDzBLyDoo8
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YELbNWlCY
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiXQHbtiNK
We were in the lobby and979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnueEi9WLrd
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F9dFdSoKc
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxyzR2xhoj
morning.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG6stf9qqK
I first sent Zoey a text979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF15Odgo5yw
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbaQ84mk1c
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKGt5A5hY3
"Hey, what are you looking at?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCZYehfWay
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyH3V8AGlb
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jemOAiMAI
"Okay, shall we go?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXKJqIJpqy
"Ya, sure." I put the phone back in my pocket and I wrapped my arm around his elbow and we walked out of the building.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMcivMnkaw
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqIEmNCoyx
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lvkOVjEov
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKHzoHhvcJ
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomDK83QQsT
Instead of using any one979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kwyNIIdON
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAUl8KEZWk
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlpU7gAzZO
attention, especially from the customers.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ5Uxh9Qzc
I had to admit, the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28yZ7jhsv5
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBkGbGH14s
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnY7zW9vXK
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2GlMVvOLn
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXP5LQJHku
A smartly dressed 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfez5crUCb
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwybpIwAh6
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPPYeVYYrr
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bn3e8k75h
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qcAQc4tg9
We were escorted to a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokF7STJV5N
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WKTp8xUSN
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZukhiikzS2
TOP pulled a chair for 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsjKmO9t6r
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbfILEa283
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhCnhUH7jd
beside her.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJLpDHZAM2
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6qAyUwm77
"Tell me about it," said Christine.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfe7zbYygs
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRjxhVHhdE
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyh1NP4xa8
"So, let's order," said Daesung.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSal3NoblsP
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBQsRNwyMM
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSZ1ebcP2n
As we were having our 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQD1q6lCIC
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYc6Goc5AC
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS9CVBFrIB
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKqzqgWSfU
having fun wherever they were.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkybesBaBW
While I was having my 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC7OqF8S2F
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgivdlnmUE
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YrkBufP9A
unknown number had sent me a message again.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo63kUJVDbC
I tapped on the message 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY1iH7hClk
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASJOVWWpEP
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy7csnu4u4
the next message was more surprising.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qec0pn9YX
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2WbbC3KCj
Anything about what was 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZjCmCwF4F
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93zo3nYcOt
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xrnZ3SSmq
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTAIarSbR5
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPiAKbsGvf
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2a7AFsfHW
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhITwjJcPL1
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRurKUg9OXm
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv5IsM5xTc
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFWeQDv5jE
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwDYc31kxt
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcfflCEOg7
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF9fi3M2Av
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwxwna5BYx
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdI5AOQ7Sr
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVc4jbghQG
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpNblfJqO4
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKm9m9w2Xy
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk396Swc8K
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOQBAluy4d
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgWcx7PjxO
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0f8RaB1gi
"Can we please stop 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh6Q6Zc2Nh
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAO8ESBwxN
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT1FAnHH2L
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdFzwtMtv5
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMirZLzRkTZ
"No, let me," said 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxbdBeygNw
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ9AKd2aAx
allow her to say what she wanted to say.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTD6cjgFol
I shook my head at Christine and she leaned back on her seat with a groan. Daniel smiled when I nodded my head to let him go on.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0TJTLSDI3
"Because, Collins gave 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKCThPUo9k
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLRpnkBDi6
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccTRAkip0K
Never."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dg5Soajov
There was silence on the979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4CckdwfQE
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sKh5K147c
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KCn01RULr
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcKWCAG4gl
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0DHjO4FMk
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM73IW5iCU
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l4j37olTD
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgN6ufjQsN
"It's serious to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0riGvYVKcZ
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcdZFQPLIm
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXKTjeVVQ6
babies."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pwfETSGwN
That was odd coming out 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEOYIymotF
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCia5uywHEJ
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcstyiTNl2T
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoYIhmf4Is
laps.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KlggG1zHP
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuJJn3iifD
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqZFpvb1QE
I really did. Something 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI4asnhXFc
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4DPR6Udee
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxEdVsfgUQ
"Excuse me, I'll need to use the rest room," I said as I drew back my chair, stood up and headed straight for the ladies' room.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApl9IH8qBx
I quickly closed the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0BBrSrNf7
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpM4nkbSww
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jAavA0nPi
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtaYGlTIuY
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfxnL7LZEP
I shook my head and I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfsUEfjkYl
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqIo9XJQGH
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HAXfSJBMK
supposed to care. But I did.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXHIRr2mIw
I looked at myself and I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiOTRG9EqK
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQQSDtAQbg
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfTL8LsKNC
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQvSaav33s
things and focus on what's really important.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd48E51kAz
I quickly took a deep breath to try and pull myself together. I rinsed my hands, left the room and went back to our table.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchCdIPRacn
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2CrXN4AS9
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoylXRA5O9Y
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIpGa8eH2Z
I gulped. What had these979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegyRYvtFDQ
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qqpxdIxu2
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss5MrIuSNL
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcJarpKPuv
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaYeeoKj8i
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C2wf4jm0u
"And I have been a good girl on my part," said Christine making an invisible drawing of a halo above her head with her finger.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ697lv6k94S
While Christine was one 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWjj3qO23b
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3wCQtRNik
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2szuFTHvg
worse.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCL0JuOQ6b
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PHAG1ziaH
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojpBkutuHR
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyfgVDs5qv
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ1pv08mH4
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV28YO9aIqt
I blushed. "Mike!"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa4mIZsda2
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA9Z9gVBrs
"I've tried kissing 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj75VzBG2T
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefW3dmSIMJ
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sfofZ8WZm
"Uhh, if I were you, I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxPLiqzalY
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoRfXXxNrv
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IYE8WJ3l3
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwyLSeCY7o
regretting it."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtsnZdGTSh
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i73dKfjhb
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I7w7QS3PL
"Fine, I'll listen to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0SJW0YYyR
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ydkbFeUn0
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZMdy2rBwH
blushed.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4lqGyW3Iy
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBShSl7RKY5
He was right. We only had a few minutes to get to YG. And Collins was one person who's strict when it comes to time.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOxOnlOr8y
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1fvL9gnPb
We got to YG just in 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIlGUVasQn
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXnwUHHWzS
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLy3howCT5
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubsOFoGn9Z
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju3n8uY3qo
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb6iOM5pzx
I couldn't help but feel979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ20rU4YTr
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCBcR5bcyf
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrEMuDs4a4
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNXs2zlHGR
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4McgmV6D8
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kDN1wp7x8
I felt something inside 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn1GU0lmZV
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzou23zLHY
couldn't believe what I was hearing.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nJ1aY3lzK
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqWjpZzi40
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsm2oN90WX
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z1Tm1epsC
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmWsaBIS6V
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3N5ItccOX
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDq6IOL18X
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6us9zz0Wi
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkev6pVYMV
"Then?" TOP asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf9TtqG3mH
"I don't know, I went over to get some ice cream for the both of us, and the next thing I know she was gone."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBrv0TOwmP
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszk2pzr9eq
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6oC7rsocL
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zRUpR4sX3
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D2JrOjbO1
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPak1vD1h4w
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV4zf0mhAW
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKq5xHhz9F
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2THLTnDzlu
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEWB2u2DKr
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklwSugOfWR
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKEVFoKUg0
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf660iS8msP
I couldn't help but 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpULirRj5f
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHYbX3pbhE
not telling us what was really going on?979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iyexfc5I0
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvvwZv43LV
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x5OV7Df7q
"We've to look for her," said TOP.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpdTHIwlH3
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHdvRtQWRr
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxZvme8xDg
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqM86D6U6j
"Did someone say my name?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7nQSS21gD
I cringed. He was one 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpxYwGrNl3
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7p2iuZ671
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVrCrHIkcY
the music producer.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0jLcRM0qF
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a4Pf6Sf0F
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gRxTXxUxD
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z37N0sCKf
"Looks like you aren't 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPdR7SWc9N
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReWRADM7Vb
away from us and heading towards the console.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAHfJYEgz3
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgTHtlubGe
I looked at the others 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdeoYTTy8I
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dzfK8ElZj
something or else we would be toast.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMbb88poAU
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQgLNHsvrV
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GB1Co3BAl
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nkLpavc99
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX0w5G8Ee0
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYUQQr4wN2
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejeq2V2nvg
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl18vx4oDqs
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShYAFi1KEk
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FFEzDtlSz
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZS0UArM7s
Please say yes. I was praying in my heart that Collins would agree. This time I wasn't relying on my eye to do anything.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTbvfOrHhp
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMkCjoZ6IV
Mike and Daniel almost 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfBlthzmIq
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrw4xfyCay
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYwL7aR4Bn
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxmtzhxIQz
"That's fine," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1tUeDL7PS
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j8naJlUyi
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5OI8Hpn5E
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5fpDSjwLj
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoNh6L1vV8
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRrqJQSfI0
Christine was doing the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFOGMHEyMA
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2inuCUIrgZ
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G1ZCLiBC0
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LzSbqRl44
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E1wg9gsbd
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoltSTufnin
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k1jv30zLi
I wanted to ask where, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMgtY9NgvR
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7q0gUWnes
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpWGvB1PgE
music producer soon left.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3olqr6HOd
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxDDn6WgXP
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iE1qlRDnq
"Ya, we should," I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Fh9lUDJj
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALHit2W6Zm
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jmFWJ8CnX
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM5aA4oRDQ
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cyI2rzbeC
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxw52CQN94
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTN6yGK9ST
As soon as we left the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjPTu1iaus
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjAkTnKeLp
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qQRoubT5d
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ6GAxyPnI
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMgd9Pyzph
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH2LaWlXms
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskNT0NeIRz
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmXyNLcYtk
G-Dragon drove away and 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWN4ftbbco
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgOjt80ynW
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mCnq6bR3C
"Did you two have some sort of argument?" I asked when we both got out of the car and I went round it to face him.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBjr2Ig30o
"What?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56pkl5YtHD
"Did you two argue?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gnFT6GjFx
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTLViSgjdV
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATfyzoV33w
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffC8PJzKfG
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyrZMSIrjM
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmWtp2HRup
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGapuJL0L1A
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXq5IUw7Zj
With quick strides, I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCmObYYdjv
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPieN6rRYXq
could look at him directly in his face.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ78bPp3jS
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oUJjdg2pI
"I want you to tell me the truth."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZHgS4J7xK
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpcRhMWXHt
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7WtPzId5G
G-Dragon chuckled and 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HQF4FTs45
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVlGSmOrAt
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDvSJDpE2k
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKck9WOXPA
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAHW5vFapj
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAodOh3Hs8D
"And how do you know?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRURXFTYDF
"I'm her best friend. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeescQtbBm9
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOekiw5AXfD
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfJjxWZ0iF
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj4ZM0T7Ix
"Zoey can't end her 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozTQv8gz2g
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MrfegDfFW
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeRCHXsFxv
you did something."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhroFlJyl2
"Me?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbVMeH9fMN
"Da! Yes, you!"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZSLTJW7eD
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2VUBb1myn
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lIx16WSC0
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVfiTxPiTM
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRVmX2EtPm
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENQodPoSSg
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3GTby9dcR
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG98R7hzpA6
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsQLDs43fz
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7BeQMlUOH
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XK1BDJthM
"Ya. Sure."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4XYAArOsS
"Now, will you please 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQBnc6r9C3
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT5nJMRwip
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ud5RoQ6Yh
interview."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX0u8lQZmg
I didn't say anything, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9mMqQj67O
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql67EQLToK
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBroeH7tWv
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEAj2qiZaS
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOChEeLkuoE
but nothing.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPShQClQW9
We were already half way into the park and still no sign of Zoey. We were by the lake and I sat down on the grass by the banks.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW9ren4Zcx
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrALbLDPclh
"I'm not," I said as I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOgrtu7Jql
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6fmmgSn3E
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bJbugHeTz
G-Dragon sat down beside979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUBLXpgAOS
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQPxiBCVcl
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANuSJlY22b
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEUiFlelol
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGXpyTtoLa
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjTjo2BOf5
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fycEgv3eY
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutNPKn152H
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLbDR6Fv2A
"You love nature, don't you?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSire1P30wo
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mJUIaTeJL
At that moment, I was so979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayqPZukoSH
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMABNmsuOp
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW73XnyzzQz
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLarwqsAFDw
even the noise around me seemed non existent.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpETMi2zyKE
Then I felt something 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVuWmsrNFX
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSys08QDq0a
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtxqmQmGAQ
was staring at me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCpS1LaeGH
"What?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExr3eomCwY
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xVPHTCP2d
I blushed all of the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2FG9eHnWx
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYpe6d4KHf
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FOxY0Plh3
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtnPMrFLfW
I would have said yes to979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy7b39hqjv
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDXyXH46cb
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DirNVjJDI
were never meant to be.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJwKqHBlxU
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiqEozzlUa
"Why?" He asked softly.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlmlMlX8aA
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybudjxZu0W
"What do you mean?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnro0pVyYki
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6pkIIhCfm
"So?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTYdBtNSzu
"I want you to stay far away from me as possible. The further we are apart, the better it is for the both of us."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7FHxZ1Dd0
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1K9PHZAvP
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrQoGvt8ez
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqsWbCfyaX
"I know."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBvpKcspim
"Then why are you doing this?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR8qtWPCsX
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVtH36KMaM
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZmqXu0MQ8
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleFzdMhxJQ
"You should find another979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pKoE65by1
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAvqymrbPx
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GncCRUAqn
will never forgive myself."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgCLF8wXdm
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TiHnLUoHw
I wanted to smile but I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5vtJTCyGk
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7WGLSGqBv
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ3n3je6pl
like we had beef with each other.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8iLv9CI4v
Just as I was about to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReCvvH9I7Q
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjRfogu4L4
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNSgeOA3hx
from his pocket and answered it.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmBsoRMBD6
"Hello? Christine?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C8JZ2ct7D
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFp9jmlpsw
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m2MPNasR3
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t6D8zVSqn
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvbhcllgek
"Where is she?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyufcVUuxU
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu7qeSoTtt
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkXumx7pip
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EA8kRxGmg
"Who is she with?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoaCdTrubg
"We're about to find out. Let's go."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly4t4hUDRO
G-Dragon got up from the979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFXBTvyBX9
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53EL2mf1Z7
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpUspH8dav
When we got in his car, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C7ZnZoSdI
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72857pNNvw
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8An3AicWo
looked across towards the café.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZuAKyrp4f
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZfRsjNt7e
Through the huge window,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjSC4FZA1P
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek0q5onHx9
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hGL3QPdnI
day in the afternoon.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYLvnces7d
I searched for Zoey, but979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnlkqdDtHg
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufYUSnaV4z
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE33BqIWtZk
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXa2kQQsI8
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW2xQypLsB
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2cCPRNTcZ
"Who is it?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjBElExIXZ
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9RyR0zpZf
"Seriously?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKgQMV4CfP
"You think I'm kidding?" I turned to look at him. "Or are you now jealous that Zoey is hanging out with someone who isn't you?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5rhAKjgc4
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHLhLFouAM
I rolled my eyes and 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNlQgeDcAo
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3DtDCvxvG
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVxaVTgAc0
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGTuYPMOF5
She was sipping her cup 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTTbFyH0DN
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSfw7dlQTl
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZvjrZO2Em
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGLYBEk8pN
"Ya."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVtPy5XfLb
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pHpYsSmPC
Zoey's smile made me 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E8lmi8lgH
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9ShkNGr01
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCgzwiGee7
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAqqdDMlRT
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8BTntjA65
I felt a threat coming 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB4el50SIt
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i0VBKH4sy
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0G3lkNM4e
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Ggdm1Uu3
going on in there.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIYLKLS1DP
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7KTOCbC9V
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDpKRfNwsB
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaNHgoRZRc
Just as G-Dragon came 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ2PhIFO16
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxxDImyXg1
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOmRnnOgPx
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeawKN7v0Eg
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRQ8Tj9FQT
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm7gFn5EnJ
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vLhw7wQaf
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28IpObaWUH
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU84yklXkr
I didn't answer him as I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS701L16E7Y
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5MZHZYyPk
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqjcG2ZKPA
managed to reach the café without getting hit.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDkfagzRLi
When I got to the café, a979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1WhPq5ntH
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOgd6QzGIb
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTPbVBWQPJ
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiVZGe3wRa
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvH8DrnpXW
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmPZ9C94Kk
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7ddn8J5rT
"Don't you dare try to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRbcjCtSEA
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkV8tcRQHX
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFMlj6sHPt
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMmdoiZ2MR
"Christine told you where I was?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqNQrRQtVE
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18r9TQmiMC
I heard the bell of the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR3147uK7k
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB7qmDHgSC
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8I7qrY0Vj
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwtbXmCroo
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTYRtxmvoO
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9BtWChkNE
"Stop taking all this 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr1I4xgGlO
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczlGqKeN3B
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59l1GgwCYP
The smile on Zoey's face979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuNEhz1CNZ
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzEmpl1akV
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV41Hy1xBN
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifW7Dtg5FO
ourselves.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnFu325QBn
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Dxzy7j2P
"You're right," I said 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxAssKgmFW
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eaesO6wRZ
attracting so much attention sometimes.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPL68m1CBF
The others had started 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjGIrjYMXX
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEmEIWK4s9
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4FQtLeLMM
about who he was.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iqkWvM3jf
After we left the café, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiT5sPma1X
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgGutbsiwd
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8z3cVG69N
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzmiY56tPX
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhZM5tJrRl
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12lLP2mBTk
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Sl0xfcrZ
Zoey and I went in 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wLSVnwePO
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHnrEWYHWP
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP9kQCJd32
We were all back in the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtGhY9nr86
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ISaeyOhgB
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WHnaPKU6X
We gathered ourselves in979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5zZVUeMxT
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR02XjBBy2
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHJYVRam9k
hands on my hips.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoyp41m4HT
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcVvbS6xqh
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNpppA0KmU
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OkVhcpBNs
"Fine, I tell you," said979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4GO6zlNkg
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKQ7E94J9V
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZZp6xPMW6
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxiMu1Sgup
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A8XwTiMlZ
"No, I don't mind," said979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ563cBuTFc
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMcL6nomWv
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh4BOwgVxu
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7dHtMXkgH
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NIBcER7O4
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cTn6FXPNo
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeUGUUR1Yz
"As much as that sounds 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMIRQ0SPfY
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4LYRw4fSh
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLoTxpWc4P
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbZ2zR6JOW
I started to tap my foot979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYy1nhLVWg
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07LA3wG9qs
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2wgcrNKFL
truth.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzaiHGKJY9
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma8qXX9K9n
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg4lcs49HY
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD3c7Y4Qod
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8CrRrcuvz
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63WN8PSqRn
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapXzUkuy0b
"Okay, okay, eish," said979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcUjXqVtqi
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIudF65OWS
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTtyAY9qxE
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnWJylx7Ur
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGI2zB3iCR
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPehV71GUbM
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l0NsDWTMM
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuI0sgRZ6z
Zoey was quiet and I still felt that she wasn't telling us the whole truth. I decided to play along and not say a word.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAtEp7fXR5
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafMv4Ip1Xo
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw0cw5qZg6
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna7Esyuxqh
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eKmxSYnEM
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PxXxezYKQ
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC18Ytw9hT
"Are you sure?" Daniel 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXd4R0xvl7
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBO3p15hps
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkV8fBQngK
haters or even us."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpmzKHTfza
Daniel was right. Zoey 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaEtWr43h2
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAjjMLS2Py
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxsvDriGIR
telling the truth.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKIDSRfVYP
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoTMB98Sb8
"A very nice guy that 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9e0uRLd3T
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiby7ZlMeE
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpC00wrbwH
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWKTLilW5S
I didn't want to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmWFy1BsNE
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a4QQK0BfV
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9iJtsFl9g
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6Dd5nc84K
"And not dead," said 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPXZ77Ul2v
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrJjEeJUlN
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsds0aiq4EW
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasupZwZCFW
"And you better get 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAroQXzMpc
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2y03YtUyp
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rEhf8NE2u
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55JAgmyOwF
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfQrKamLWZ
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzGTLPzNXf
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBNgNwSJ0Z
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWWuCePSk9
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEraoyAW25M
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BR5DI4Tdp
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIeYOrDWFv
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmjGnTv4OQ
One by one the BigBang 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBabOZREfht
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExqF6cnS7G
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefjVKvYRcU
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFJpysGfLj
When I went in my room, I979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxO0aYVc6t
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0lkQbnAFj
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKXDwkvv3f
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF71BOKgtM
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZCEkOk9Rd
"About what?" I turned to look at her.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6m19d8Jus
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NbMHkG7Su
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz7NT9jgF2
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUbYi3tIeU
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUwiURCv1M
"Did you see the man's face?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYQYy76OXT
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRL9rxjZUz
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZul4mAS4ZF
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwPVBZDUhp
"I bet he is good 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch7qqrvN0U
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCFP2ooR1e
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUXg8pFcHP
told her to?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8OTQ28yE4
"Well, I believe her on that part. I'm just wondering how he managed to convince her to come with him. Maybe he threatened her?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLS8w5GJYI
Christine's jaw dropped. "Don't say that. I know there is no any other logical explanation, but I think that's way too far."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGduzoGjaBQ
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP75YhXnMv
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYa3Jg1Icg
"That we have to find out."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yRHfZrTMl
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFXJv0N07f
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONWANQZuFL
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUUVLULpRZ
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWncPMf9w9
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0qT6aIib6
Oh my. Had he told her 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSkL8idYzs
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0orC4BtzX
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBwKuP5evW
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90HYbiaous
"What did you talk about?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqiVwk7Ovf
"He was just pissed that979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLle57QTYUD
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC49DQmBLrf
that might have upset me or something."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcsoig29WX
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J6pEO8Ua7
"But he didn't."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t4eGE0kVa
"I see why Sam asked," 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uQVMg4kT5
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65ME8OiojS
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJnJcL1J5w
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LPv469Hzs
And I hope it will never979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCJ64E81WE
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfy8mPhuTG
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKF7NMy3Ut
was yet to come at any moment.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliaAzqVziY
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pbAYawwLy
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUwFsJ2dE9
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwyVsq0jje
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUht2MlFcdi
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDRY92oKLT
Christine, Zoey and I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBl77Rh28K
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYISHe7QhA
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT62XviZoX
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG7teLW1bs
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vDn4Wv6I6
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4lwGiyw7I
"Yes, he is," said Lee 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZR9T2Dhx4
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwHcuvawOy
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiruD3QI6ji
well."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYoboJLpmH
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTaUozRWLL
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIX40OiA9o
"As I was saying," said Lee. "We were in the lobby when we received a package from the receptionist. Said it was for you guys."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrcAoU2IE9
"Us?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUgtxBS2YL
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrlxybPyeo
Christine and I rushed 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxKbinuRMD
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q2zkgX9tO
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWaXETLPy2
hand.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvnTYDyUnr
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VU2QqBh6M
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnmDqcF7od
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EJswfGQNU
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZxSxYdnNW
The package was wrapped in a brown wrapper and on top of it was a white envelope. It was directed to us just as Lee said.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXU61HDna1
I took the letter and 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUphkBFyKG
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC5J4fqdfm
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxleF0fZyU
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AjW4DARon
"That's it?" Mike asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNqsj32Hhh
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLRKBKFWxY
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya000BRv82
"All that the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDv6gmR5nl
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI74pfUDRNE
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchStpeebrE
My eyes went wide and my979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt6BbWQNh5
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjcA6rJu1f
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblxA9rE8Cy
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TbRSGSB2U
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4BJOKNz7B
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaXMxF5Jek
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJVI9kPRhz
We did know him all right. The man who had been with Zoey. But who really was this guy? And this package? What could be in it?979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMuiVxLh45
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmEymotFzi
Christine threw Daniel 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8PBsYd3OG
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgAqCpmS5V
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEhSfEtNpi
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vaHf8yc47
person you barely even knew.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcphaca33U4
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwYlgxhncB
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSupunZcfp
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBt3nCGbAi
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW3dlsJiRN
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPYycRHRxk
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmydy4UlKy9
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ueOcPE2JG
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGozW1mWOqN
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoi56xhCqr
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37P1ce44mM
"Okay, but take your 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRniBG83RKO
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnUrrPXuVJ
last prayers before I leave this earth."979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT7gWjaZkj
I rolled my eyes but I 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MPOusf3wg
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1oIgBoOXs
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtMFbAX2zQ
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiwsuMuzT5
The other three couldn't979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11ZJarQ0eG
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQGF0xz2E2
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME4wnMvFE2
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NMvN7fonp
nothing happened.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmWwPUhtkD
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfkjlG3rsV
"What is it?" Christine asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwtNqjsT56
I looked up at the 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsb5GHWLbG
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W2vGB0Lgi
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tnpMAWjXd
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgNud0KxkL
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAbkyghdGj
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVZ5WVxRtG
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtBs0XaPPp
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JAprXu2eE
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgtlJGgZqc
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpipOdqZUs
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcL3F0ujBx
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudmK9ITnr1
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNfqYCMCEJ
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFfs0PtxYZ
It was then that Zoey 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W8A6oweQe
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2b0kQAnzC
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jiwykYUdx
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyV9ngvAj9
stranger who she was with today that sent it.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaXlDQj3r7
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq8OUzaaMk
"Zoey will tell you all about it," I said. "I believe this is yours." I gave the teddy bear to Zoey who held it in her hand.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmwIOwFTx0
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31Ku4Ncg2y
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJehW4Uu3e
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6cs0YMIDx
This time, they laughed 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWdZx09PG6
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWFmVXQOqG
