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

Zoey's P.O.V949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzq8g7ujJQ

Waking up this Monday 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhsPn1dCG6
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDQPM2P8Oa
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m34hlLEa5
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzuFZ0JNzT
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRSRvgkCeO
myself to be.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfw0aX0USw

I couldn't stop 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafBTdVAaZG
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jtjEAqc4c
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRXCVaT3TF
feel that something was wrong.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrEmM7YoAF

Could they have known 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6j5q1vTmq
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpW2S1f37h
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHQVfjPT49
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxu9RSSu0B
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgHwq2mNUD
just had our usual conversation.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymWVtebYnr

I brushed off all those 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpObwer0Dp
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1lfMrTFgg
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGocH2BQvf
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9r5oNbjLa
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD1ULMZBJh

But now that she wasn't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOUgV84PcG
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjJjASzDSQ
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8R53JH0CT
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkXR6dmo4p
woken up early before the alarm rang.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1byzjsZyQP

I sat up on my bed and 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0mFd50ENx
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2kzTMAFgU
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBecDN8mwR
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAEr3cOlJK
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMGcPnqINH

After seeing her with 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMZEzh0EM9
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPdOf25qnD
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqJZtJMmO6
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicjZ0xkhfj
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuikfoRls0
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W7ieqF0Cr
day. That left me devastated.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAyrAUUQIK

I couldn't stop looking 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZWmWM0pLD
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRKaYYCkBa
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXec0B1s5il
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2Qcc8fVC9
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqMFMnxi6E
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgJaFqTUt5
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhce2KHpvTb

That sent me boiling to a949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpL6C4kbG6
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH4C2GCsnX
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04YXnW7V7G
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR79R7PB1D

Christine had told me to949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYToN75gYA1
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMvyxFlgqw
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy4IvK1WRF
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGNmr5Mfyd
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspg3q4uZ6d
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs8bhHqnwa
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0kyypSgUa

And now, I had to face 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMePRYnYY4D
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwdOP7fL2d
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvYs2fnpv3
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF6KJKR1XD
was still so upset.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNXR8w0QMg

I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD0LAI9B3u

After I was done, I 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmiUHFoTAR
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9z2szROI1
others at the dining table for breakfast.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXUO1yLSN3

I found them already 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspqDUzC71C
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uFuiZV0Cj
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS5Y7PrUD0

I felt a little awkward 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YKXan78jH
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLMWhuORri
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMbK47uutd
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zy5yTcj6I
that also felt weird.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOLvAB7vJ0

I know that she and I 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Dzpgqx3y
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4wyfDXSfs
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef36FBb9Hu
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsljNJS9cBd
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEb0PpGHbl
like something was wrong.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFwFHfXglW

I poured myself a cup of949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ihtShTvgO
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1OKMgGEEG
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA4lQ2Mz25

"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBlJTnCVXB

My heart almost skipped a949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU5gxJRtVL
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFo6MIX9RE
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrF4E7fo60
too far. I was over here! Hello!949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5ShrufDoW

"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih1yA1rQ9w

"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOsTsicWLk

"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0tFRU1YUm

"I have no doubt about it."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NMyWtKFNa

"But I don't see why you949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkKxE32tFW
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsugOFpvXB5
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MvcJTrxhB

"One thing about fans is949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsROoKAaHI
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKEuIXiOJl
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdMfuwVZvL

"I know," said Lee. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UeeswGp2n
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHhGSA05v4
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIwjn4mXRd
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVnyz0yNe4

"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiM0c7NYNM

"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnom6jUBHf

"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLzlBDo9DC

"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAT2NQEZIW

"Aye, aye," said Daniel.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZDzYYxwMf

"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIUxurs2h2

"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDH1r5CDQG

"You're just too quiet, that's all."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2yFmS90Wk

"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6HLlCHqRq

I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pgnCIXifl

"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTLwKZeuKR

I stuck my tongue out at949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJIFIzd0jP
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROER36FitN
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGvVDf0elb
still wasn't looking in my direction.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3WYysyOz3

Soon after breakfast, we949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pMZBCy1Gz
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA6jG8fdTj
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXBLDFJFGX
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSv76YbMUl
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0NxHhzDXj
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3dszLWgVo
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOlo1jCl8B
she would.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK8mZdiS20

We arrived at YG and we 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRwo7bzWlj
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGphxIsSZDo
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w0x9Bznmx
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb5O4y70LB

When everyone was 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7VdsbUXyV
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DX9XZRUEi
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dH8EB1RkF
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FvDqnMHKt
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNp1Hwcdbk

He not responding to me 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6USc9UOUaq
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo8fOdPPog
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgYECPzMSg
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ogcZHdNS3
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7g8yqcMuA
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR59NW3w58
looked away instead.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD1oX5kpaj

We went straight to 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIfRHdD367
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyNR0nvm0n
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRcORR2rAp
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnWuBCsQDC
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN4P5YzzmK
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78GxmkxC6S

During pratice, I 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD9EN4ypgX
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiWhre1qYl
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBFG92Pszm
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYw6JxQlw8

G-Dragon wasn't the only949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MmlPI1wrp
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa6XrtItUK
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP0HXffZRV
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBExU2R8rA
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVe7wXuoLz
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2HYyrpROF

As her best friend, I 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPHSaTGbSU
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9drJW89nvV
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hmKL7FYkh
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB6BRgQHQd
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMeWgaLnXc

She is also smart, 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYa2vgbb7a
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEJxO7FoBX
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCdNvUoyLU
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8pogNsPGW
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMExxJCQzG

Sam has a lot of good 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm67KcAZPDC
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP0ffUi4Hr
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGPye7bn7T
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVZZihdYwi
want to hurt anyone around her.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0gZMd2sRf

Realising this made me 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGy8mNUzJ5
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc3O4rxKeE
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLYJeW4h3D
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSEYuTejni
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHX7rVFm94
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz455tqhoU
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdSqIjfF2L
realise it till now.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbRu2ya6N9

"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwT4o11odq

"Zoey, you aren't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5IHivtLHD
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrgiDtL22B
second time you have made the same mistake."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CYel6EvZy

"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynqNz7msLn

"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoQhhPvZDn

It was lunch the time we949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUjcnUFgQd
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMDrdVXpn9
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67VXegOHJA
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcio0xG88yY
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jdNnnDnKE
they were all laughing.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oL5Qeef9x

"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAme3xrHoAR

"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYv74XfAaz

"Still not talking to Sam?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JQtX3XkXD

"Nope."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U9eCtpWCW

TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ldzXWW4Wh

"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwT7Fb5ZWB

"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDS0V9N0lG

"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD82IRwT5h

"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXAaK3y0Ro

"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xuwlWrUpI

"I know. But you aren't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGmsDPm7wY
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDItSDc11Wm
You would be chit chatting like you always do."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRfnh0o3Cy

"What if I just want to be alone for today?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVw71I8Hcj

"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTayvUf7DK

I frowned. "Why?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1QsPku9xe

"Because you look miserable."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphAdMJXNjO

I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF20DC6ZujM

"Miserable!"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e4ofEYGTT

"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaavd6a0qqW

I thought for a moment 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlVO9LNys6
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIggJ3ye9YB
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiZIVtRLZO
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRtFifkFss
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQBe6ycxMf

Seeing all this in front949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKkGXnQEPZ
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lL4M0eEZY
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgr8hgcVI6
Until TOP came to talk to me.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfkC0HO1t0

"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd5h5czpBr

"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf4CsM9jZu

"I don't know," I said 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75W0qEfHX7
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwa8GENcFV
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduxO8Mtk6h

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.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMoKGcSxjK

"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPlDT9dygJ

"Then why don't you talk to her?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhu7To2pi9

"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg5ishVenj

"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOht8pGmI4s

"I know."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh5EbumBEY

"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49yJ8J8s3K

"I'll think about it."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBgefJPmm7

"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9xH9c5Deh

Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDpLa4TiyE

"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKUAc6Yeln

"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVms7F7JdQ

The three of us went out949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik7EGAM1aa
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y8R5ORFx6
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWzMdgYtiU

As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS68JTCXVV

"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4jy1t2O7f

"Chill, you just ordered949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94p3oJpJhg
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIOoYbuyUU
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrTVm0KA96

"But I'm so hungry."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKHnfwjngF

"Trust me, you aren't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6mcs0RNbs
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuoitluLLk
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q4QIJEIFu
have."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpAN0kHzYE

"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdI6utMBLL

"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIDbqyaw4Y

"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy9HhBw67F

"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDpaOU0W6t

"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj3cRyR6I4

I didn't say anything as949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZBWHhFE7X
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLAm6vUeB4
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrjGw5SXfD
calling.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCJQdfmjXs

"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzC5sHGJmw

"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3UGx9kMBV

"Okay, well you better answer that call."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk8MOJmhbH

I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sHDzycllB

"Hello," I answered.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjPHgmMQia

"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJE6DOGhn2

"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUksadB6hU

"We have to meet today, ASAP."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzAtCVO3Q8

"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv9KXtry37

"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKvNj9tSG1

I knew Jehan was going 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr95ILwx1Y
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3piWahWBhL
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxQmI3EsRI
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha9cJjeuUx
was upstairs in the dance studio.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi4npYvvb3

"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl7mbkUoYf

"I'm coming to YG to get it."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QYPQGDJ6B

"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfcPyO4shz

"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirCnW6ecBg

"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB2hT4kHaS

He cut the call and I 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjFdyhU5rH
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GqmVtNuoU
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj2VjKdKKv
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP9cswtLHx
him they would start to ask questions.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnQEVcgZd7

"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOlLCaM5QH

I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUlUjyLRbJ

"What?" I asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFx3GQYUwb

"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNSbUeEwNz

"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl8I5n8tWp

"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedMkDJ8UVc

"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YEUfUxO4o

"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yGQMyA3yZ

"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22F8cSVXGa

"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7fhmP1jXo

Dang it! I was cornered 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xeJA5QC75
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE0wdukBmS
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVH1WcGScr
light no matter how much you try to hide it.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHvMB2DS0H

"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxwhdHXOaq

I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoDt9oWIe9

"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJwPyT88aH

We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VaQj23kOy

I told them everything 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc2jzE2CJX
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYTIUG7576
said a word until I finished the whole story.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj7A2AVvQR

"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxaOChYjTp

"Just you two," I answered.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex6pKQ5KTw

"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmCUlRgWnW

"Surprising, right?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLsCtL1vuG

"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBLS2jMd21

"We should involve the police," said TOP.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LSfxEdiqO

"No! We can't!"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S4Bn6ftIR

"Why?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWAesRWioI

"You know word goes out 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnZCUXQqlS
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD26aJHJNny
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1ZdMAbmBm

"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ty7G35JrG

"He assured me that this949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7O911PKYC
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrKSXoI5Xl
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpfBooy4JO

"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9HD59kjTw

The three of us turned 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfsTQzITbz
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4WdiCkMMV
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5O3jhlyWg

"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PJY70QBHd

"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI0TbMXiHO

"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UjToh8EB9

"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0QRi0ISIH

"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqiDxYXBJu

"Random stuff involving a949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwF6ALigkX
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQBKnM0zpz
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlnK1pRmJE
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhC2w1gT2U
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNgIvA5gn3

I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM0hzbtE2X

"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bS19gCTY6

"Okay, I won't."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzihpRFw4gW

"Sit down."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXisQVIoC2

Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4up8iKSToB

"I got myself into trouble," I started.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMegoPvrMD

"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz46U7E2ll

"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn5pS0km0T

Christine's face soon 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZZtBnBbjG
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TtNEhmFuu
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw96FZo2SWI

"What!"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IS2pXmNYR

TOP quickly covered up 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JKhqAxKJe
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTxrT1bBUO
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5oEvhsQsr
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuQAlyghfs

"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt23FW2Kwoe

"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ20fsT5kHu

"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzpep0CBBd

"Of course I'm mad!" 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqlwCGo6PX
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsyzPnbVwM
but this by far is the worst one of them all."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXuFjIuQDW

"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tFec9p002

"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQAm7dUc6l

"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEomtMJ94K

"Ya, I remember. What about him?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6EaIyt4iZ

"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC8VcJcxtj

"WHAT!"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVOE9mrAoO

"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8JaBa3Q2U

"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQwvJEZpke

"And the one I met at the café," I said.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuUouQjQ58

"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDhn1PqY2t

"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtbKfIXkNy

"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHJD4kkQii

"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTpGF1goI0

"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphoeakOkX6

"Ya," I said. "I planned949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDQvsdhsfN
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycqWeB4rrI
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMb32Kw5yY

"So you're the one who 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnzCYR19Ie
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfrM6zCmO2
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK5zshuQGa
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w48I1eejw
out with Seungri."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vsGdJTT2D

"I lied."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbfDKbogdS

Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyOZcykLZy

"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGQ5pG3Rds

"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGxnZuyqdj

"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXiGq76lq2

"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKqaKhERK2

"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."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBRxStMBEh

"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3mWd9Sps5

"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVhSBq8q6S

"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."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH7G7hwhoJ

"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcWgyoHMLg

"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEEcwJsfXw

"But where?" I asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsMfmkL7Wm

"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.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VRY1kh84J

"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.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1d3EKUXpL

"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ackX39Ybu

"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4kGVVbpmU

I took my phone out and 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YVkL5lpLp
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDaO4yBniO
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgcBSC1jzE

"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJcwZWVS5e

"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMQWKZkr8c

Seungri had ordered ten 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbisIOfU6hl
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExgWSncPzb
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooiTCElB4e
favourite.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjv6MQi8LG

We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFWnJCraBd

"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAFuHG1xLN

"I'll be ready for 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5l1dy2OC1
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t5cx5CtCh
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi6KqQYFtt

"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY5B5N0mNN

"And G-Dragon," TOP added.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGnvzcQPwV

"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGMmO5ddnW

"Well, someone has to," said Christine.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vU1paVQ2c

"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUE5wNbmiH

"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrIxKpyw7x

We found ourselves back 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMf8fmp40m
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQPWktUrZW
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xq7g34H3N
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT12kaCs1N
paranoid?949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeZxqTfTBd

Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Be6W540Su

"What?" I asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4qJNkV7CT

"You were frowning," Christine answered.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeHHJfR5ZA

"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBnARhvZju

"Says the person who 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQThQCYciH
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqZ6G4ALEm
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAlVkg4eCT
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVb2KOXxD5

Soon after lunch, we 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37CBT11b5r
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5anXuj0bLR
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wQs13clXf
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8TsKlCCZ6
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5SDrO1e0k
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FTmVZUji5
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iTQwE7Vpg

At some point in the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBF5ocEm2Y
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H86QIk4FN
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKZB9GiiFR
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPv21BeYmZ
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdvdg58ksY
back to practising until we could pratice no more.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QOBUuHZnE

It was five and the sun 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMEDrH8pqB
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeReiCNAkO
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdlFSiuiDg
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3roGDZFeb
side of me. We were all pretty tired.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwOH3AQoLr

The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLjb8ECU34

While I was resting and 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2CCIKGmRp
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jp9a5TMh1
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIWsqpdak4
look on my face.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHuZwgnju5

"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAXQ9Wl3KA

"Go? Go where?" I asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt1dpPlQw8

Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLZ6JMFX4B

"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGDRIjEIxW

"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLlM4JuO1b

It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5VIztxhup

"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbHoxNF6mM

"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyWCwVWtpn

"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL4hqCh7S5

"I want to follow too," said Daniel.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxQhxHW9MV

"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHPiryALa1

I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0HPZsxZVY

"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd5lECqF1v

"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmeoM8auBE

"Ya, me too," said Mike.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorccLIr1v4

"Why don't you want 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu80DEsTa45
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz2sVkxTkr
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3dQenbBdm
not to follow."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mgE0fLvtq

I wanted to protest and 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nPC5pE8tB
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVwOcRUubb
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcolyJ9Vab5
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWA5MtYPzB

"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4FXJFRMjO

Dang it!949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazNNnrVcqk

"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.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoHzugyV5x

"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7thQPXcbPX

"Thanks, that's nice of 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQVCQfXNUL
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkIEw2jeai
the others. "Have fun you, guys."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bGP2p77YN

Sam and Daesung left the949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRyJF3uWmZ
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U5bnp7cht
myself that the two also made a nice pair.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWNjWJMNas

"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPg8DOa03V

"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyW0WVCtix

"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVQ9alIQo5

Christine stood up from 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvv5nYGVie
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZj9dOuDMA
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0RVC1CSdK

I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNvvbUK7uD

"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl6cTBm5Sh

"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvtiPeHbtP

"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfDcQ3Wt4q

Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZEtPIXbTz

I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ000Df4Kpub

"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqbYaRTb2L

"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7kNnMXBMx

TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YBlZyzMDY

"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66iOMAeT4i

"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0duhcROlBP

"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnc5MSJxbU

"I know," said Christine.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsSiFsqjmK

"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe99cBMuz6g

"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4OcnFSfM5

"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSZ01x1ZcZ

"So that she can judge me? No way."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyLD8hRWp5

"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Ed6EMFSV

"Don't try to convince 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAdxw0l7Ae
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKnCRWhb5D
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvPnaT2V78
like she could hit me with a hammer.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dy19MEgdt

"Okay, let's go," said TOP.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhBz8GuLzb

I got up from the floor 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhkhueDBBD
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU9xYv143P
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOvvEvVNJE
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo2fXZGu8g
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlAZq6SFq0

The cars soon left the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULuxAoZz5R
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBAt9SRLMj
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIYyRBVxtC
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9JGYuoBZP

"Can you you please stop949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgtrLE7B9v
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2M3J8y2Fl
the teddy and lose it in the car."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wgunJscMe

"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1BLAXJqBO

"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX47YaJlCQ

I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJyqRN0iBC

"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjg5eNvb3W

"I just want to get this over with."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF7uJU2X6E

We were soon packed 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RDJbmlEXY
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaeUKu3JTB
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY23lAjSA4
turned to look at her.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrAUWgll5e

"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX5ScKEhDQ

"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0NxvpNULG

Seungri also turned to 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKBttgWnPE
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAdRmWtzcU
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhcbNvj4zn
chest and I wished Sam was here too.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLqGGv3EmD

I soon got out of the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Xon7IJba
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsjMJr1GYF
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmux6Lmn8EC
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlXSVE2vG9

Before I could find my 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuOYr6s46h
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyGDKB9Tqi
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrserPHyCwU
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7OiUHMcNw

I quickly went in the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUigAGrhjxS
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5vMIfFCT0
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73mOBt9KlJ
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL8jeYTNDZ

I slowly approached the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsJMUpnkR0
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Ps4Km7E1
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8rCk8c4cn
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgJINltzji
hesitate to end my life right here.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf2pMn0M1Y

"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloJC9wdwre

"I was practising today," I answered.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bps9gd5Mu

"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kXqKrf9sl

"Thanks," I frowned at 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9VXcJBdWy
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCmd3F9dsk
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfHADPEuAD

Jehan smirked. "Certainly."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NsVSBb9jU

I quickly reached out 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2mnrKNDS9
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6dtvkUYMv
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YbHmnyv0B

"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr4SSU27W9

"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxepdpk37Aa

"What now?" I complained.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPTj5Buzfn

"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aY4JXpTL2

"What do you think? That949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs9yBz3OOt
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZxTpjeqF8
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbDwX8RTkv
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zy8HfFy69
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jbJ3FxKJm

Jehan raised an eyebrow 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFySD5ad7j
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNJkp09zeA
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw7qKEArCy
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOqRe7a5N0

"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfs3lwHU2w

"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd8gXdKBQb

I went back to looking 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9vyC00CGo
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSlrLBX5yX
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xmRnwayTJ
surprise me that he carried that thing around.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrAXZ1lv3i

Jehan slowly laid the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeuLZ1tFpc
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAdQQ1MIDw
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQgFEQ0wFN
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwfhhAUSf5
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75RoLMR2yT
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEnK1njqIv
the teddy bear.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dyEzTdJfm

Wait. I frowned. This 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlW7W8v03o
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G644Jkrw4
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFBdr68ntB
diamonds!949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWjn56L1Ys

I stared horrified at 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8xERqB4i1
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjaFErLHd8
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGYkvlyRn4
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NsrG1Y785

I looked up at Jehan and949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6cMDCGGWL
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOua8lKR1kq
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIaa4kVRam
that, he was going to end up traumatised.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxgUcKvvm4

"Je-Jehan," I said 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ867wyoeYGr
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ032LBwUlK8
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihuIWB02AZ
there."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9Efrz59yt

Jean neither moved nor 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH05ZRRMlm
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAu8PltWSh
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KgPScvWlc

But how could this be? 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCZMQtBmBG
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOjP4smuEz
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4qhMiW2vb
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpaQT8VVph

"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3HMwaMLk6

"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqYIshV6GX

He banged his fists on 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4a4SsdtOX
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKH6LeSVi2
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM44XEEjPU
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbI0S8oHAB

"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK84Zg62lU

"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAXEmx91AO

"I don't know. I don't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1XadtF5zd
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKiKX93VIY
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh5PZnwrWd

"How did the diamonds go missing?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK1ktWiFBA

"How am I supposed to 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHWRyrOF0Q
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYAlszrvzg
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZfTTuciXo

"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPVt9caNXM

"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYod37M0j9

Jehan rubbed his 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpd05U5tjn
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuMwlFwwuR
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALZH3TGbi6

"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsiGwvXd3P

"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAZPieZp9K

"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts16r86SQa

"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k9ajDzwbV

"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9RCE5zJyt

"I don't know."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzwG21b2Mu

Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dyHzcWyXa

"Ummm," I looked down 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlSIAmleIt
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkLrzHHOmT
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCOhW76xSu

"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTmcTTeM4m

"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.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjpKxXHks0

"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkS3JprlPo

"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBNIM6b4Qt

"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizYNwMj2bt
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a7vZlUnUT
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSXtfEZnQU

"I don't think so. Lee 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0tAN94qk4
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Rb6PsnRI
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7uDitykHR

"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudbyUrxnH2

"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."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGMmrPK99U

"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t9Y6OPlcE

"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzbxGXzrTS

After I said that, Jehan949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneYzoNJulr
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0g6WRwYlT
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5UpCMEIOy
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDL7lKaXG8
look on his face.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oIeqLf7rq

"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBkAIPREXJ

"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdBfMBrhJI

"I remember one of my 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi1zwzqqsF
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEEgVBMV5V
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaNQTOr6jf

"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ2wQn9WLG

"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!"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEb0rt8JOr

"Huh? I can't start 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7VxPqL9ik
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kLKYjvatD
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ErHOtDpF
that the bear is missing."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebDY7AlNGi

"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjNqG2gbIw

"What do you mean?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrHKrw7xPw

"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4gUnaxq3E

"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH69WIaKn9

"Now that, makes no 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJbXWlmlbW
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgduTcMwd4R
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGfuSq5SLN

"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3YrqYKhwd

"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0UAyUG7hA

"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9gmkBlkMR

"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8JJUEb7Gs

I completely forgot that949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSEjAMIdjW
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCUKO9kqqB
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e1gXr9Ej6
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphbbFTcWge

"Okay. I'll see what I can do."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jVJULlthh

Jehan gave me a smile. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIutE8BIp7
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsAAPavbJ6
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYc0twCsFP

I nodded my head and 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSwa94RQqr
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xYeqGE2Gs
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4cS6u8UUI

"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx36RJs2hu2

I sat there as I buried 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv9OOftOw1
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsoYyIVlii
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuCH6GjueG
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi94oHYJ9fA
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgZwLBWgiA
drama that might just ruin my life?949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukvin8dXHI

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.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNNOPMkpwy

"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktxn7XHKf0

I could hear footsteps 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQNFcPHxco
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWXXN35lw3
when they saw the look on my face.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciZNjn0pRT

Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSht7MHr3ju

"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh0pHR4Goi

"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUWaGSTuZm

"No," I answered. "He didn't."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZxds5gKHn

"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23MsnQ9X3U

"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekWJZLf6fd

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."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazKFv79fgg

"And what about Lee?" 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqKOivU0wq
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVVKXANeZT
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOTK6kyK6H
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7n6ju1cpL
to."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli3xG4rgKr

"This is bad," I said, 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV0D3PdsSj
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SlzCZDXaR
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ykaUNEHX7

"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghtu2lLCgW

"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYSfLMSeUr

We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KGKFYjvrM

"Sam?" I wondered for a 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn44IHkQ9h
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3mOnnh4Jq
she have swapped it with the other one?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqTzMevPrH

"Okay, wait," said TOP. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshELJRbikx
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle1PaW6RQO
what's really going on in the first place?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKvrfbBfAo

"I doubt it," I said 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbdbxVCWNF
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfFyQndda3
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63NCCK0aAT
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyZQIhld33

TOP and Seungri looked 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbFFNsLlW8
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmthlL7h1G
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBurxzsNHx
it away.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzu15aKGXe

"I highly doubt it too,"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl85wpdkrcj
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YhqhEtVDa
she would have asked us about it."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNiSjeAX0I

"That's true," said 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi0jiCXx3B
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp5cxzwT47
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzzGaztU0o

"And I checked out the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfVK7dytui
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTPgLtSNTr
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB54VCMApJ1

"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7EdxisZpo

"No, I highly doubt it,"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjQwF4ESlS
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86oAAX27M3
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XAY5rva7P
said nothing about them entering a toy store."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZQXiUdZd4

"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqv5XgehBN

"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWyhWU0T87

"Collins?" Mike asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TvFcdBhH7

"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxxonRHCRg

"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZtsDXlJgJ

"But who knows? Maybe he949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xqgXD7UKn
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMLfc3EpxW
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtiKax7igQ
times."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn1FpWCoRg

"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswMwL8UpOy

"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mwEbykERG

"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEcey4gLye

Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqSxfHnXpU

"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ThRXzFTEj

"He was the one who went949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i3KIeINAD
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTsSeMooiA
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAofwfDH37Q
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjT6S17yyt
elevator."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiSbzXCMln

"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCtof27Bn2

"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPtFlV7R9G

"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5iSQlGYtU

"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiuatIvWXU

"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjJaInADtP

"You're right," I said 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYulezppKgO
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsuH7US0d3
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8gwqp7jEL

"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKaL7U94UA

We all walked out of the949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe0IPA7dQG
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtSC4PGlUu
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQHoqygQSQ

While I was in the car 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuSGAFBY7b
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs9SGU5do9
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WpDO6DS8r
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDQSXhBQNS
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNjQXY3svC
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5TWAXEyev

If it isn't him, then 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC6rHwwABi
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafNVtlxg0u
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBxjgvKPAm
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Nk5cuK8Q
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVeFzBV60h

What if I had the wrong 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhwmYxfi1D
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD3ipKZ15F
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4cQ3r0EFA
place without any of us noticing in the first place?949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyb3Mm4hq3

I hope I could be able 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9lNEOIsZp
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOUuWpzCsO
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR1HUASQp4
happen.
