Zoey's P.O.V1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cS5pbJKJm
Waking up this Monday 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKsB8B8oOY
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLfk0hCMSo
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRePfqq8F8
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlSuxIuWAS
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11RZ3jxyBe
myself to be.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqm7Uzfe5s
I couldn't stop 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazxT1tl2gq
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQhOoJUmOR
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qo61QsFud
feel that something was wrong.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDjSQt4MxL
Could they have known 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUpl9ms4sq
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrpHUkvvum
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34w5bmPUSS
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOAPhfxYjU
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ393WRqi5Ss
just had our usual conversation.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27NHZ0lmRr
I brushed off all those 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUiFjeNY9K
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm02cLyckf
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ74QOs1nw
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVDVRPvkQt
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzukDhYBiwu
But now that she wasn't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZAkWULjuV
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR1yGcPc30
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEknR4GXer
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvdfBAYVYr
woken up early before the alarm rang.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgw6q3VNrc
I sat up on my bed and 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO3uDMka3c
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRpzWVv8KM
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Je9Ex3rYR
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1BJCMnpdN
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnrtX5uotw
After seeing her with 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV3Vaes0oe
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WzpjIs67e
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIpGnznF38
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXLniA8t4T
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCrB0XTIaF
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIrePEZGjI
day. That left me devastated.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5M8Dwvgud
I couldn't stop looking 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ4K1ud7Fy
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWhG1QTNbZ
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJddwFFsimb
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7M7wLDJKW
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR83NHJNaDh
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyPCyC3zOV
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjYGonCxOy
That sent me boiling to a1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnLs4Ej0hO
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVENNimIrSQ
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvofEfjEXu7
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm50B7VuLbG
Christine had told me to1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhUEZ0EXOk
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR5wnwkKsk
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fn0DJsvOL
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmM0273kfY
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EzJQigSV5
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3aRUQSbLm
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTWUr0YVhp
And now, I had to face 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdqDKPFneN
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAvAGYEnEQ
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxKeKuhDR0
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxs40YP5MX
was still so upset.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlJN3EvAMe
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnnWayDzNE
After I was done, I 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98nGSuVBNf
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA76P3ceBGj
others at the dining table for breakfast.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrFgKmjLD4
I found them already 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPW5tbPCWg
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2JaN2pnSi
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7SSDnm171
I felt a little awkward 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPQ39gFhY1
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI0hYlPZQh
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hxL4Fyo7V
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VsyKq16e4
that also felt weird.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3647aH6T9
I know that she and I 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtEEN8Z19X
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry9pRHtBvU
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqONBlHVtj9
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup9D8vUwAe
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctEurMwhkD
like something was wrong.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHqVvWGJzu
I poured myself a cup of1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclXgi81aVg
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKa3ccLm9d
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TH6EYcxjI
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZijlt7bGb
My heart almost skipped a1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzGL0G8rS7
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndsZFx421x
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTlkIrKOkA
too far. I was over here! Hello!1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmgzSG2F0D
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGlfHjEj63
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclaJ8jg6zT
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbW7vTSR0O
"I have no doubt about it."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA3ikrZu8S
"But I don't see why you1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIwHd0c8vd
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsU9HMCMTs
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mIuddFMsz
"One thing about fans is1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQcoa1PUSt
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHuJ0PvQBj
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYumUYP9WAd
"I know," said Lee. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxrfDJTAEt
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnpmazNsfd
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXJscviSpa
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7Wg3wvv9i
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFP647eH7b
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP7L4Ac7Zn
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKxKwaY7J1
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H7H6TnBe7
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH4TOBrShL
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOiHEbwph3
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d0ZNT6gOj
"You're just too quiet, that's all."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsziMgb8ro
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiULrYM1hsU
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJClaWgE0by
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xdyhhGChf
I stuck my tongue out at1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwu9UvvBdj
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGcD4BHWiu
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD5CAsupCb
still wasn't looking in my direction.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAJ0auFmbQ
Soon after breakfast, we1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIxvsDg2gq
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPvdw6QFsT
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF9pVVEIVG
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI75L5wlD9p
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KjcvxzSQ4
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUssgZbgP6I
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip8MzlMXv8
she would.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkcV0xpcw0
We arrived at YG and we 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5LvzfrP1h
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNikxlYVosv
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRYGmPw3Mk
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedpR74fHJ1
When everyone was 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTIUcEv85l
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOPdosKUw3
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0HWZMq19E
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrrdN7FNuY
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQARdIXqyh1
He not responding to me 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuEnbEtAZt
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbrHbX6LWD
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89AOhksZ7d
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr4CwN9GMn
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1dmQKcNqG
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08hJCHNdnP
looked away instead.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvUYeO6i0M
We went straight to 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezMYy8APUG
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZYgoGiGqB
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FsIAxzGRQ
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i8lVt0MRR
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93gzGxTXju
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTnDefhoFn
During pratice, I 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhllHRHxMiI
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLWz1G07J3
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlj9S4Y0Il
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz4JWRDVhv
G-Dragon wasn't the only1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkChAl4qRU
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDIvysefC5
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcOHDY9h0i
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39UBhJ6bz5
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV3lNy35FR
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gUIy6ZYsE
As her best friend, I 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c1Psm0vUc
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8blJ1GPYNc
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6mShSaC01
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5doyUTPNBU
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui4o2h9ZUm
She is also smart, 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROrsNSgxn0
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq2r8eIWIG
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgxcKJmneA
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM1n6tPm9k
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DTbDdzfpQ
Sam has a lot of good 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8tqhCKFya
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTXqVjqgQz
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Eh4QszLMe
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU9AdqADir
want to hurt anyone around her.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5j1HjGp1w
Realising this made me 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoqo0TtArh
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixIkdJyVSp
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmFOzUMrkn
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu5080t06j
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhxQN73ZhO
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtSXgg1oqw
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhHsAyHwL3
realise it till now.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUuzRqz5pu
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprat2XIA4S
"Zoey, you aren't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5uPZbfZ9T
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM3l1djdoW
second time you have made the same mistake."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsMrSJ2msu
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX3hluksGh
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt7HMFclj6
It was lunch the time we1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfwJgIiQG6
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1W8SGMMiV
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfcuC0QyTc
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu01Rd4aWg
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyKBCebqpe
they were all laughing.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtD1oqP05n
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtST3rNNs7
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry7U6KI5rw
"Still not talking to Sam?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtlYoQPUM1
"Nope."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVNL0JnVuy
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz7nu0RWm8
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk9Up1CBJF
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3yIgNQKNd
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzFUsYXDQS
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsHrdvKLdk
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0f0xciFcG
"I know. But you aren't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ4FWMpIsX
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3trzPTefC
You would be chit chatting like you always do."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nR98iRL4l
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x0IxtkEU3
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi5rHMIGIl
I frowned. "Why?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypuGQoEhjG
"Because you look miserable."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWb4bvuZpE
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsg1UMWqiC
"Miserable!"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM2E5xb7JL
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc2tNk6eTy
I thought for a moment 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNKJqB0lwh
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSmXjppF1V
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoFz3U7syY
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFosBFVCTy0
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6NC14iq0p
Seeing all this in front1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9cCpkqlsD
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcQPbOsewc
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjZum8hQCu
Until TOP came to talk to me.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbneAy1L8vn
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgaHvknLZb
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6uzxp75QA
"I don't know," I said 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMUcS49GNx
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4cdEHlXPQ
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHW3lD4KHQ
I told TOP what happened in the morning and how it felt weird that Sam didn't say a word to me nor even looked at me.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0VJieIlsg
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNODAJvgPcy
"Then why don't you talk to her?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPVdrRj9LB
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojrdDvXWTK
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDfSLZg0AG
"I know."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz2VRjVbZD
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iRMHAlw6Z
"I'll think about it."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKEwU2ZOHR
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF0apfrhCA
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyorilCW1bn
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVOGlilYxd
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvRLJ8rAUR
The three of us went out1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EIejzF8TJ
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2nAnJsEED
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaNhVtUGI3
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrojBGQyDyE
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTqTYtHWTU
"Chill, you just ordered1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XzROpzIFp
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X5IlywOZp
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxhRlokv8G
"But I'm so hungry."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBr1VDgoSW
"Trust me, you aren't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnLz78ZjMc
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTTtfSUiHS
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTqMnCiGYW
have."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNNQ4Zp9tp
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO3BcBALMV
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9adGbOLs3
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv7aJhQMqX
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZCAYIJXSQ
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaegG0YP6h
I didn't say anything as1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRelK0f7RK
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg35GO2uQHo
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzcSnMXkqM
calling.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fHhY13SsJ
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkUyWKrWRs
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DpoFcFlBB
"Okay, well you better answer that call."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlok2ynKPd
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGpQIHDBkc
"Hello," I answered.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsbNg78ZtD
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjly93CaeSy
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHQCMuqmaU
"We have to meet today, ASAP."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV5jZkYDpm
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Mph2mkxb
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIk9mV5yic
I knew Jehan was going 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCc2QS1LJO
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPkG2n8oy3
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3lDmiCQik
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJNSzibx00
was upstairs in the dance studio.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dQsQjQuAQ
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUblScp5wQV
"I'm coming to YG to get it."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8KRcCjTnu
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcSyHYeTbD
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XEYXm2WjA
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2T2bQF0ac
He cut the call and I 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgZfpJOh1V
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBHDGh3cnp
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Z27APUrq
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9CVSkgELZ
him they would start to ask questions.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqLp9uPGot
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfFfAtETbr
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY5adcQ7A5
"What?" I asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoRzawiqT4
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjhF5dFjmC
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMiuqKi7FG
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9p9YoIDlt
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ817OtO4E
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl5jnVW61F
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw49yI7ecFO
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x1Q3rlkdY
Dang it! I was cornered 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DhBAgq5hE
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKafQrOEZ8
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6XmNlLYFH
light no matter how much you try to hide it.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJtE3iQhYU
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowMDL6fYPn
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e8zMBTXUy
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYjXoOf0yN
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj0hA7LYmf
I told them everything 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcVXtBcGbO
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwZP9xEWBf
said a word until I finished the whole story.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXMZdzzuzu
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCDxRJY7W3
"Just you two," I answered.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvBWnPX5tP
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmwCCSCgAp
"Surprising, right?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECojsnpeqN
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7aUw1utBw
"We should involve the police," said TOP.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6hDWjmqlN
"No! We can't!"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIAm005e3n
"Why?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaVt5IOjxo
"You know word goes out 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSerGZen5i
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUilrPGHjV6
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLFwe3hVVd
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRjoVhO0VT
"He assured me that this1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlaBFpbwSE
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qz0iy4C0K
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerKxtO1s4C
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROpzVEO9B8
The three of us turned 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8oeSX2NbB
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2joTnncVv
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlIE1umDhx
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSXzbjfsaX
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwMtRlImbe
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kUicmBMTB
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK5csYKFZ7
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYwyuNodQo
"Random stuff involving a1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO2s01dFHk
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1PaHg3g65
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K6NFBWxU6
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni2ViR91nd
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdypHkveF7
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvdTlEvxE7
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgIcew9VFR
"Okay, I won't."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tYB0Ji0HB
"Sit down."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmHW6oX7F1
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HePKJYdul
"I got myself into trouble," I started.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQq8t93ir6
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pS11BjQYg
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcyHN4KVln
Christine's face soon 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWic2zOsLrA
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslxv6Ngwng
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeSjh8LTfc
"What!"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZH0pAkTEb
TOP quickly covered up 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNtRBfudY0
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeufltdJrp
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawWKVbUdd3
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLseAsqqhkn
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW98VWoCOcS
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI5T93fOBi
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIRd4ohbWT
"Of course I'm mad!" 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA3DjJBNEl
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXJdLY98iF
but this by far is the worst one of them all."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOAMriYar0
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZE4HPURih
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPnDzARNZG
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ1WDwZhpC
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3qNLMALLM
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla7LRM3o44
"WHAT!"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb1udTaLd3
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvtPAcvaZZ
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuBV3D2zYa
"And the one I met at the café," I said.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj3mvsaWc5
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYUPaFAtYa
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUIIbdFhsD
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQBhyYr1o8
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAoZdt72zd
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaswM35qlV
"Ya," I said. "I planned1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SN6Y1jE4v
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNwxDzGPml
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz5nDxlvbq
"So you're the one who 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25SHEp7AKz
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDeZzgd7AN
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Hsu4A08e
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCweWu0CTKj
out with Seungri."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAPUzvq42D
"I lied."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF9yGOLnHU
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQytZbOiaB
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iuZVSu5sp
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07f9XUceFx
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTAY1PxleH
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OVIaxy6Hq
"I know. Now he wants the teddy bear back today. And I don't know what to do. He wanted to come here and get the teddy himself."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYiXST3sf1
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcETsfPoz4w
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KuJPmXhQy
"Now where is she going to meet him now? She has to take that teddy bear away or else it could land us into more trouble."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lesNZb4kv
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5o2wRkHBr
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrdqmxrw81
"But where?" I asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTZajLHd06
"Tell him you will meet at the café. The one you had met him in last time. TOP and I will take you there," said Seungri.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr2bVONurM
"I'm also coming with you," said Christine. "And don't refuse." She pointed her finger at me when I opened my mouth to object.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXFuO1pAz2
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIavHow9NjD
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuSYTKWduo
I took my phone out and 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf1xVMimig
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zfrfTOhVQ
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpnj4ERkdd
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOq0Hv2MSt
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCcJ1c23qt
Seungri had ordered ten 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3Q9ds0LEV
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMWZEgb00W
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwAi9cO28e
favourite.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZJriJ3Rxw
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGyhYI5iVC
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhE5G9VSP0
"I'll be ready for 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1OAl5tPa4
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bpk25dPqN
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYJ0di4tSr
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuWJDPrRRd
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHkwWHTMv1
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI8BGMlUO9
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Aohj7bIc
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nXHAO53rn
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6I5gL6dGW
We found ourselves back 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuC1ghaRtC
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPguTwq04D
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfEsKHj4AP
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1AMi4yZYR
paranoid?1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvunJlLHCAe
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK2C2fpGlv
"What?" I asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJUSD3E7GH
"You were frowning," Christine answered.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGccoRe4r3
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3BA8drBsj
"Says the person who 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgkxrsWBKU
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbZq7cFWC8
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDJhJh485P
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiMf9eB1MK
Soon after lunch, we 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsJ6LCCm23
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGWLpcmobE
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtNgY9MU8v
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNA0F2cg8w
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmo0VVkOse
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviCdmsbeZF
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr9dda6Usk
At some point in the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMclMowGLuO
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaKPHctLQn
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z54RyYtyC
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zjeuXn1mJ
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YDIzulVCd
back to practising until we could pratice no more.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInRoj42aDX
It was five and the sun 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZXP54Sj59
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAG52YGz5T
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaekaTesbQF
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhJmfcLkO8
side of me. We were all pretty tired.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaO0APtFA2
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD3Gcv4eOj
While I was resting and 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EUMuWPRut
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBimJFTWkB3
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfdfcoMN9V
look on my face.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dmdT2iNIv
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQTlbbMDOh
"Go? Go where?" I asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaSnS56UXl
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BIYspuJIv
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lIBSgz4oO
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoYwDMI2GK
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOBfPxGcah
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHe5nQBTQE
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiISMFrUzb
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uPA8xwy43
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fVOk8pJAa
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiqw0WNstl
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Hq6PIG9H
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtAhBSUs5p
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6qq5k5QzU
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCqIN3pVqI
"Why don't you want 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWa8DxRIDO
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhec2RhVjU
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrEUgyEeMG
not to follow."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SvCi4wlx2
I wanted to protest and 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3NsBWR9zb
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABuhzFR8Wg
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCilqhbU70
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiy2R42u8V
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlkB7m163D
Dang it!1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX5DmDLap8
"Okay, you'll find me back at the hotel. I'll tell Collins that you had to go out," said Sam to the others, giving them a smile.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzwzvtM1sW
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShUfOCBIhm
"Thanks, that's nice of 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoRzaTFxMh
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXO8vPwaDg
the others. "Have fun you, guys."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tZe7sNDse
Sam and Daesung left the1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo52FyLdj45
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9dDN7UrqF
myself that the two also made a nice pair.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2EOpYXZ8E
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzdakFocEn
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJHLhWSvZD
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXD6adGq6e
Christine stood up from 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEvg2ZhR2x
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh55y5TrcK
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmkTlr4AvP
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgFqMWPrgI
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAseCY7Llj4
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwlJGwrMHS
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CWKXm5KWa
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKvzxh9CfF
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJF3XgWChY
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeWLikOsH9
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLuXREhLDf
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4IGcHal1c
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXHS1wj8x6
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FG8caH7jC
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP65GocRYY
"I know," said Christine.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSAv3XtuMD
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MuKoKyaZM
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqsZ0ipQJ1
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27sdgpn5sP
"So that she can judge me? No way."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLLcMqOvHD
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBvndrXxfC
"Don't try to convince 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYkZtXopxl
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zURa49NVG
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLB4aJ7sBK
like she could hit me with a hammer.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4umepSMel
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkl5V0Lqfx
I got up from the floor 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzog0HlP7Hr
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YFYh8iWYc
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjRRlN0Xsd
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOEETzhasO
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp6Szl3NOt
The cars soon left the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm6nZT804a
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkgPU1S8r8
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ5Ayd2Jyl
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3fSVS332E
"Can you you please stop1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX9cnrUQUp
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLGabUtdwU
the teddy and lose it in the car."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPmnpanhUK
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM0wiLWGJi
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c6S7YQ7xQ
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHLhJdpshi
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwooXVLdAk
"I just want to get this over with."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI6moAfoNl
We were soon packed 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0ifcfnfhC
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI3NUq3dh6
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1XPbMByg1
turned to look at her.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxKRkZ7qRL
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgYPAIiiXa
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtQhlJYXmj
Seungri also turned to 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25yJu5NOoN
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2YtqZb5uB
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEkFcPT3G7
chest and I wished Sam was here too.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0boAgEzgJ
I soon got out of the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0KaboAK0H
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb8kvo4mQx
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRp5iDx6DU
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdETUhuGI0V
Before I could find my 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySFEQe8wQu
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhSfqvSolg
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ki6C59tAT
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LUgDttuyY
I quickly went in the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctul77ZZri
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNmOEDKcPc
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8xCKNVNG9
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf0gMHFzte
I slowly approached the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPLz8X4pBg
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBIQFdF60k
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ru0kdhoeV
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnp4nCu3QO
hesitate to end my life right here.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Izy1YtBSX
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZdEErHrfN
"I was practising today," I answered.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghDz08T91q
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MlNxxDpzd
"Thanks," I frowned at 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh35pedE3Wk
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZv0dHeuVQ
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXkCGpTTw9
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9klNah9xOl
I quickly reached out 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7KcekmY84
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtYwSGwiYS
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ENXbo6Z4
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYJcAD0NMt
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCcZOsnQSy
"What now?" I complained.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s3nESF2R9
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VbhIpWT9X
"What do you think? That1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv0ax62pGi
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNrIm7b1iO
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKWKLYxbRL
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmewLI4qRt2
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkCf1NHXiS
Jehan raised an eyebrow 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DvFH5nlts
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCbBwdGhh7
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn5gX95YbW
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24heLiRG1k
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnvDhe8Ngk
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihzZqPqKjv
I went back to looking 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSas8YV5Gd2
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gh12Fj6Zh
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OtBsDqEdZ
surprise me that he carried that thing around.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEI8pCg2Pk
Jehan slowly laid the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgD5Y2mVIs
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynfEX2rbrS
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYllVeOPVTk
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyLzXqH9oA
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqsDb4vdAM
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fugQ9WrI1
the teddy bear.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecVIkt0f8P
Wait. I frowned. This 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dDGa7dHz2
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0DfuaLKyc
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJTBfAaHqL
diamonds!1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD9DbS4RZK
I stared horrified at 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cuxrwMBas
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvLYcRO2mh
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInJYCb7mz6
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG9vHUkMWi
I looked up at Jehan and1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbfY4GTt3U
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUzYdIObJR
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13wZyfw7Ff
that, he was going to end up traumatised.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5uRvGFVrb
"Je-Jehan," I said 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO35VfhdwuP
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKXqbeHo0X
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDINlMSegRK
there."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXfIC7vcFc
Jean neither moved nor 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmR2a6nECF
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinLIts1LaE
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TOLuns1rC
But how could this be? 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN2Lymwxg7
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnNmCaCWHE
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wcS0HmiMx
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BOXeMrwVN
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcsKb1n72c
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyytn9p9ak
He banged his fists on 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJwl4wtOzb
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcql7qFidm
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BUdNVFVAg
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK7znMHXkY
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLE10x7zqt
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX2hy8F15p
"I don't know. I don't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qylvAMmgH
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPhHVxdfqr
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCB4UmNrbl
"How did the diamonds go missing?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j2wXgGS37
"How am I supposed to 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9CxvShRnx
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKRq3S4nhW
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefqa7cLQAg
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAoDks578O
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bcAhZE0me
Jehan rubbed his 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM9v2TJcrU
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsopn7COMUx
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V6uA3RTFF
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwbWgQS4Mp
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQANuiexym
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ1JwfirIy
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseZzTtax9N
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1baaWc0ajA
"I don't know."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6aYbeDxbK
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceguLZJ5E3
"Ummm," I looked down 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3crPCoMq3
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4AuQ6Gjxk
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX9hwKkS0S
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH66klVjPZ
"I didn't have the teddy bear with me at the hotel the whole time," I said, looking at him fully in the eyes now.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1hRNpYyKU
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXWpBUNiWj
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEIfmzrHnY
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo0Kb7XhX0
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznot0odKaw
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQR3uuXnal
"I don't think so. Lee 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG7FeArelW
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaasAEohvN
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjSsxjPqP2
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP8bDly8He
"You're right. But if she did find out about us and all this diamond business, she wouldn't keep that to herself. I know Lee."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW7PQAw0XF
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7DZdNinTJ
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEynzg8lRlh
After I said that, Jehan1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZheJqjnK4I
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqNtuSIjsb
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeVxNesjDJ
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTOlB44ACh
look on his face.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAyHX5XKe9
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrTIPb7736
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlsyKNqPei
"I remember one of my 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOZNxH4U0W
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzyNzI429N
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPxt8fpYfF
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9dmaS3jEs
"Don't snap your fingers and be all happy about this," said Jehan, back to giving me that angry look. "I need that teddy, now!"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaYYGOKEQ8
"Huh? I can't start 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfmMl6xse7
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX5mnMZcuK
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdjbIfNHks
that the bear is missing."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XsOwXNjLo
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MpcShKakV
"What do you mean?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEehh1DaXL
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivNgVmkJiY
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmoiLCvQtw
"Now that, makes no 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmPqeZd11c
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k3EEbxWv8
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni6ni1QIl1
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy4gs5ET5k
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTY0vA8DNi
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyXnFyqJ3k
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNQQfFULP2
I completely forgot that1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvdGrEEsvp
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qYOZktfto
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbYQMEwMn9
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniffCn7GQd
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5nMYMrpOf
Jehan gave me a smile. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ297dRWPpdD
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDllE51lSB
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltODYkNIuz
I nodded my head and 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJusqrWbFt
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNE8mczACc
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7drxB5MDex
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEqqe5NdaW
I sat there as I buried 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuXZ6TJLcc
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOIRu8hhzw
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXJHZDHshn
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR06yuhAho1
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iDGv2LwK1
drama that might just ruin my life?1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJH6hkNXH9
I hadn't noticed the bell of the café ringing because I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I looked up, there stood Christine.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAMkQnvRrX
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I2HsFNNBG
I could hear footsteps 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgtNweSOK5
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRXC8ZEeVP
when they saw the look on my face.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjkVZNtK1s
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXy0F3wbLz
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cGhf1V6Qb
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFHscYUWHm
"No," I answered. "He didn't."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3E7Y5BF7t
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1dJ4M8Bpo
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd01luTzXtP
Mike shook his head. "But who? We didn't know what that teddy bear had until now, so, it couldn't be anyone of us."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1ibgAkvBZ
"And what about Lee?" 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67RQ1eBREx
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF4aGgOgi8
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpyj4KaGar
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWqPutkZlL
to."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DFZ1noEA3
"This is bad," I said, 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UClBCxDyD
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ln9BDLlTv
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yfSnMwtyT
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZPloj76SS
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZnQmlDJch
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3NwsaejS8
"Sam?" I wondered for a 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNOJZc7pjf
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VZ1xriszf
she have swapped it with the other one?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mn17Zl2gV
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMchSVmqWW
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtaRDzQ8xG
what's really going on in the first place?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGnV7nDQYA
"I doubt it," I said 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPgHkfuCP1
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj8zDppPmT
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupCB8fotSI
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZvPQ3b2DK
TOP and Seungri looked 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAZrghw7IN
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MuJOGpGy3
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Qhqvvqnu
it away.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp9oRnhUwD
"I highly doubt it too,"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGzTU0bboS
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX4JZhkEf1
she would have asked us about it."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF9K8MePKT
"That's true," said 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XkoclFogR
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPdKSES617
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrHsyQedsG
"And I checked out the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12LHzO26qx
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe3ZmjVIfN
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG9Rcjb0Ip
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqhQ5ZRLjC
"No, I highly doubt it,"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiZ2CbSTOC
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdsc8x7dl4
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkUGiuBAW4
said nothing about them entering a toy store."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwSSPOZIWP
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IOAItKKaH
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM99xWSbS8
"Collins?" Mike asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym6lhuBRGY
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3aiD2N3Zz
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgJwmgwvH3
"But who knows? Maybe he1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AkeYqg2PZ
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxbws0uiib
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66pp9pRgHR
times."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJa0oFkJ0W
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaZKpE6JK8
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFgekdECDK
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS90KyAg2w
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUQv509fjZ
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiECVijObwe
"He was the one who went1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qKUewyYZe
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPraDmaNoC
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YHhCKZomT
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d6xOXjq2S
elevator."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldTd4pRSie
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUi2eey0m0
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjmJOvWZ3K
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJL1AVO6Ri
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIhbi7UvkR
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARhgCtGpqZ
"You're right," I said 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy9I4JyplH
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoUTSDoUKG
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOHvO53mzQ
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7FgI6Okec
We all walked out of the1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI0w2ysUUV
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJpFa4l22K
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyb0WOYnqD
While I was in the car 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAWjTbMjAd
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrKN3Npxy9
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8xoAXqvh4
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOZk0apWeI
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vNpdOOZ2b
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNl2zBNWfb
If it isn't him, then 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbriyynVqC
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEPhqfqGVB
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeZPC4SZy9
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99HEN250iv
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcaJbvB3Fx
What if I had the wrong 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hru2i8T9g
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkSW7KPe0y
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw36Tk9etBu
place without any of us noticing in the first place?1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVre8rT9g5F
I hope I could be able 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf9LYwxiFZ
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljpihEdPSp
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAASJqlukcF
happen.
