My watch said 10:31 and I hissed in frustration. I was getting really impatient and I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOzmcuqTIC
I had never been this 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zMjZ5O9gK
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneqbLWHlaZ
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep86kzToVh
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo32UqftC2J
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbKxZOYf7u
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQVxnyRdYX
"Sam!"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfTJHKqgcG
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1P1yW4XVU
Zoey came out of the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7VHw758ns
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPehEQuHUh
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo59Y5mlnWK
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGldlCKYnS
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE0rvay1Ct
"You've been searching for it all morning," I said as I stood up. "Can we please just go to the studio? We're already late."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPv6AMkGk5
"No, let me go and check again," Zoey turned around to head back to the room and I groaned so loudly to grab her attention.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5rsCx2k7I
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1V76pskY0
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4hX7TK4Gz
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEw2p3hXoV
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKQsWU0VJM
I ignored her and said, 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RbOmbLtoH
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVg6hllJcc
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX0OaR67Jq
"What time is it?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6fUQqufUS
"10:35."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIQgov1J6m
"Wow, time really passes by."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybKvt7zPPm
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx3S0rSJ2d
"Let me go get my phone."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTum5kpCjV
Zoey rushed back to the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscccQNs8Wh
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cXKDSClLH
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnOn2hPI4E
that was Zoey.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWaCNG2tbt
I soon received a 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGsjBcPlFs
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7IaSaxUcU
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD7g31jAXd
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqhOhsFYlk
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOfs5sdhTk
"I'm coming."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0gvJAeKUp
I started heading 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyRCKmdAt5
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKi2EtO5DX
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YBhvPlknH
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV44vJ60LMb
number. A number coming from another country.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N61TMHqbV
"Oh, who is this?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IFTqFyblS
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLzoKFJ3Rp
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EX45hqgFe
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB3rptHq8y
"Come on, we're already late."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNNBDNb2WG
We went into the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gqQtBjVzi
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgupmRUmpj
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr5Lze6IyL
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡditmoVbC1L
When we got to YG, 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz72M8lMTh
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWqO7EqrzC
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuXxEmxJFd
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6wwf1AlRx
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhJ2ci8LnF
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj4mAQYxj8
Zoey held her earlobes 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHq2DNBcxt
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho5EGyl33k
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcnWne9pZL
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMXl5phxKM
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnXLAwN1Tr
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgcHE80Btc
"Remind me whenever you're deciding who sings which part of a song to let me be there," said Collins as he turned to look at me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunrPeVheFm
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkczgIPSUE
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O4sNR6Z0j
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcCuwbmj8M
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8PMVUutlR
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2X3wAxNyH
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5py8DnUuHT
"Then let's do so," said977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ziL0TYks
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslH0DkD4A3
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf78O4yeBX7
I had completely forgot 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ966iH7XVja
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeakOA6GY0
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleEMuw0IhK
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscTg8kJZw9
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AGJklId0L
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBGFTiDJyD
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpa0U5ZxcC
In the live room, there 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ7fRl2KoS
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcjE53UU5f
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX25ybbcEpd
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYXHeA7E6a
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFMQ0VnNyq
I looked at the others 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK78pUhCUq
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhg7VDZljn
producer started to play the tune for the song.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzXjUGUsfM
G-Dragon started to sing977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRN8gg2wc9
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPrtTmvj6h
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYbtOMcAeM
to let them sing the first verse together.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoamojbBBy
Collins, the music 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWn7KVOp0D
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRYLpMYoPG
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgiGXCWX0F
Christine then sang the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRV5Tou0TH
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ5voux2uG
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmx6hFNWSN
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM32a6ZlTe
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4A5HfNiNy
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Tp2Qwc8n
I smiled at Taeyang who stood beside me and I nudged him on the shoulder. "Stop it, Tae," I said. "Don't make me blush."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT5OB4L4IA
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMea5Vi3ik
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oODWIcmAs
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqyyTFocoq
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d8zFebxUu
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUpTsFwd3k
"You may," said Collins,977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnnhml7YlP
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdrexyIvOb
You have to work on the backup vocals."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcvTPbCIEq
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylg0zdL1O7
If I hadn't known 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHVlmyhRLe
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOb42Ssd5h
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDe5ocK91o
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbNM1lWYoK
hollow inside.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV8ia0BlSy
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe7t2ogqXv
We continued recording 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7nCV14YCB
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4lS9rQtSE
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jxefYiD2l
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxtiB5ZxsF
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7ujqAeEgR
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzecxIiBqK
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05PA9gt0Fp
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs7CVYIcMq
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv938xP0e5
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO3eSUFG7O
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7bDdOhXiS
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkdpxKgflG
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA9YOhIzQL
"But be back within an hour."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH5ft7mc1s
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJIJcobxnA
"Fine, an hour and a half."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy2onDXna3
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDgrXxXQZo
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8xC3C5BT9
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1IEadfCy8
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IRkrCyQyZ
"That, my friend," said 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNi3ZDksan
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQn4QAxEzc
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sxskMimTL
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5Un1IA5AJ
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85KHwJhgw5
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0V5l3jXQU
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS03pJzkFx
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwkDgPMAqy
"Whenever you want us to977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgOYtdhZ9V
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5bVbrnZFu
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1HVcXxuXh
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s2efsqzdl
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVb6KS20HY
"Huh," I thought of all 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw4KbUFOgh
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMnuGBAP0D
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlIealxoHC
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu3gF2t3M6
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXmE0XRzKC
"Come on, Sam," said 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhodcIt7DYu
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoSXPu88R6
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcVc9XDD1t
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw38PtNuFS6
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOykKfVJa9
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkNyQEwkDn
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGt98SC872
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPttt2RI6D
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d0UVJtqhO
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnIV2uNZBA
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2EBJQkiGK
"They aren't here," I said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP9JIHYKAv
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIfE80LJs8
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvX53PWp6F
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaZzvN3P6j
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIZz3hVLAM
I nodded my head and we 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnXE4blMIK
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ0ds9hWyo
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4YWcLNhwK
We were in the lobby and977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbzABEutm2
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX5oMeeCsE
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNM4UDt9zM
morning.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhJIw1BsJI
I first sent Zoey a text977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdjPnEjtA7
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNneJHoORi
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2eKNRbbqk
"Hey, what are you looking at?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfeZfO32nu
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXDCYQLRTn
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZA8MnXiE8
"Okay, shall we go?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uMDQxfqJB
"Ya, sure." I put the phone back in my pocket and I wrapped my arm around his elbow and we walked out of the building.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCJpJb844e
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahBxcCRO5Z
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXHx9VFT9q
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdBxarc5Xr
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFVbAK1WCJ
Instead of using any one977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ1zOJKeFZ
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA58iO5mTe
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRY9cLf2v3
attention, especially from the customers.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIZNgKOk7g
I had to admit, the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXlmFgZ31N
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8kKh2k0xI
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBw15wx9kc
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrutUE6H36Y
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqrRomO7BY
A smartly dressed 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFopY2PuuwP
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgDDHoHi8G
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zx2IKQaZp
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBEtKvcBTD
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw6lVlegWI
We were escorted to a 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kE7LIFQRP
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBK8rlMcZe
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5vb0bGOtX
TOP pulled a chair for 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIgyagsYM3
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZflduo3AY
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc51S0YRi0
beside her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa36Re1WPjK
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppvCy0zOhD
"Tell me about it," said Christine.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6SFHsKBHL
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1foieAGQP
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnHEbigYkt
"So, let's order," said Daesung.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvDI4RBKYy
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE2xt7UECl
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrUD0vqUaV
As we were having our 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyRM0GmFOO
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOTpVGUTWk
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4kwJE9tLi
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReiUTfrex8
having fun wherever they were.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyraEGJyGq2
While I was having my 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz6QJIbb2X
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJtOmVw0n5
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIaIYwRVLA
unknown number had sent me a message again.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6VFc4GiHd
I tapped on the message 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS0nxwY8oR
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1meT7x9H1F
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXE9rpcMEt
the next message was more surprising.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNeNptwrLt
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxtO1gCuo7
Anything about what was 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEIGXEH6wp
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCBlBqEoba
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJYdymg4iD
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UuCH5nVIm
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTs0wHCXtQ
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO12lD4xVq
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1FG5xO5kr
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxopWx1nQWc
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW7V691gra
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyTOseGl1l
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk1wfg3IRX
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzaahOCejL
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCNsn4TN8L
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xuz1lUeNX
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAp9UZBW9u
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSfdko6n6R
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawce3PjX9T
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH1wC4dvDP
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kccln0qYX
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYmb7h6BOG
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXbPo6j3WW
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF5NJTVj0O
"Can we please stop 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpB2i1AHNk
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBIdzWWgfR
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOX2h14Iug
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj5ntRKP21
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXbyT4Bn9C
"No, let me," said 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGyvteMtca
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkaEr5Bbsf
allow her to say what she wanted to say.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jZyxbkliY
I shook my head at Christine and she leaned back on her seat with a groan. Daniel smiled when I nodded my head to let him go on.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD0LOaZl6E
"Because, Collins gave 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtfiX2isRm
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNsTIP0PuZ
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxghHbbdAex
Never."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmCLHpQsXs
There was silence on the977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpXPJAq5tg
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM1krLfpB0
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D8lXJoLZA
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMPFeyRAb2
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0YsL0SbK7
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqwfNoZW2u
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT77t6cIroP
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERT5NlRmJA
"It's serious to 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLciCvkNGDE
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqktNkZOqi
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytUzD38uKY
babies."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDykhdBAPWq
That was odd coming out 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mNKxWK0ZO
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiasrUi94mv
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvEEFgdsWW
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAHKEI5ZU9
laps.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdmee8MSyY
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zZPbGrE7O
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppD7jjSetg
I really did. Something 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXaWPF20KU
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9NKbr4xeo
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbXj7s2yhm
"Excuse me, I'll need to use the rest room," I said as I drew back my chair, stood up and headed straight for the ladies' room.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHJyc32wmM
I quickly closed the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi4q90ozT5
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPGxmNuAPR
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmzt24xUz5
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUSKORfsaj
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUh41KiDK9
I shook my head and I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vk4fNuxhG
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyH2fA7cvv
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTBEIGhcpM
supposed to care. But I did.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYWzY0D1fp
I looked at myself and I977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2JUJcNS8h
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgTZNX7eJp
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAge1zByag8
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeXbkj35B4
things and focus on what's really important.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu1TLhCTq1
I quickly took a deep breath to try and pull myself together. I rinsed my hands, left the room and went back to our table.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmUY2F5EBw
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpep0ejtcDs
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIX4tOzETY
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMobd8ZIM6
I gulped. What had these977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDCyPyqKE9
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3utP9Ta4kk
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPlUUY6TyB
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nMsK7Vhuy
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIDqnzPbnq
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOkENyq3VQ
"And I have been a good girl on my part," said Christine making an invisible drawing of a halo above her head with her finger.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT638LsXDx4
While Christine was one 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkUFxpd8k1
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjI1mQo4e8
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyJaGn9t1p
worse.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeSqWnOgFL
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPvM3rPNqv
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNIOQ2wh3g
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6zrPOrtkh
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRabaXMM3ju
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTipabh427S
I blushed. "Mike!"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNdd3v7OyU
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdFFd7N6Jw
"I've tried kissing 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBCqi7aa6m
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucEM193Zz0
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNLfakSQAB
"Uhh, if I were you, I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDPegc1jqO
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatSJWJ2UNP
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iJOrOKwuU
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7CekfZXMB
regretting it."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGJKgk1giu
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4yWAWID6Q
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSndwE8O2d
"Fine, I'll listen to 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKwp4OuOLh
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFAxKT8YPd
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC8Xlve8fY
blushed.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ypvYe7Pbi
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zr7FlFToB
He was right. We only had a few minutes to get to YG. And Collins was one person who's strict when it comes to time.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCjRAELJ59
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37hZSnO6ug
We got to YG just in 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW34NieuZI
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v83jfCmJD
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy3NkLpHZV
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrzAkg7jvz
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7yixSNMg1
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb0D3mRtXY
I couldn't help but feel977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qGrA9MZwg
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbL264Og98
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQAjaCYjB8
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiO1pqCJQ6
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTkKcQgC1k
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxgzNzk8ux
I felt something inside 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiURdAtrVZ
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cHHAoikTA
couldn't believe what I was hearing.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHsXtFgzWe
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnmwaFxx5c
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN0Y6ZjMZ1
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Pv50Qj2P
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAMGnQ6zCC
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWAz78IHXE
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdezNfn3q2K
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3YhKTY9Jm
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVVlgz83wv
"Then?" TOP asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteSXXOJBNi
"I don't know, I went over to get some ice cream for the both of us, and the next thing I know she was gone."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3Ho1aJq08
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC7jMUVnBL
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MM1N25USi
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStglWPlVSB
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cuVvWMaYW
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTC8Z15S8U
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA2nXnYDMV
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm9ctAiRBV
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGxUn4lGtH
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhjv9mG7gG
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKcKAO1O8f
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRsHDlhAt7
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91v26FWDcP
I couldn't help but 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xs32Jb94H
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXNeFifAS4
not telling us what was really going on?977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySLVTrTUp7
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHLIBl6RA0
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBekdzriq1
"We've to look for her," said TOP.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHVg9ToXhA
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xn3X3DKiP
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPJ59eI6iX
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ12E3VRiw1
"Did someone say my name?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu2LIRsVez
I cringed. He was one 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS62Y0ygFo
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvhqTWbsCV
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxWgFiKHnY
the music producer.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz04cUlpIb6
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJczgSjkfyn
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIHmWiY0Zl
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzIONxf5lq
"Looks like you aren't 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QzHgSyPQZ
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DRgfb7Lm9
away from us and heading towards the console.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qOPQihGZG
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTqIV4nNPe
I looked at the others 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2TdtsBtsZ
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK9fffrjv5
something or else we would be toast.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMr6tBnxZW
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCaOb8tTt1
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLd95C1cvu
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzew3PiTXjX
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7BtemAVL4
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DNXAvS3FG
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r9RzU3B9U
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrPlgt9yrb
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0uhfSEL3D
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLwBVxBGp2
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp1MRfGGpg
Please say yes. I was praying in my heart that Collins would agree. This time I wasn't relying on my eye to do anything.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbdqdbdcT7
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmq9LqqDIi
Mike and Daniel almost 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItdBOn2AWM
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP0RyFHkhA
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryyyGJ9xfw
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpti8CP8fj
"That's fine," said Taeyang.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr5hFAcTB4
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDy6CL55BA
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCO4OKybAJ
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJygxf6YbPY
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4lldKZF8o
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKaTkOBofx
Christine was doing the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QED1mqmvf
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXINp7ed1jB
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSOxaHWmys
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tkcjbazHG
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetSnTJFy2m
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJYXtp6CCg
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdCucqFZE1
I wanted to ask where, 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahpzGRdX1n
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx3r7BJ4s9
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd68aTZday
music producer soon left.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzKFSm7aEa
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrL1i6cX3k
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdGzT6BmzM
"Ya, we should," I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4XpxNS0Kr
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BXueoHbL5
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZoNjM48gQ
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGYAluLUD6
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG537BApz2
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM5kDh0Htk
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnNDjiUbBM
As soon as we left the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6KuZMdNsl
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT8siwq3OO
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbRBgMH6kf
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGN5IpT2K0
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEq6EM7Pb2
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOQAyxwNW9
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdToyMpekF
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hRJx4WDeb
G-Dragon drove away and 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8NIObVptp
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXUHgWq3CQ
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWCAYmpnLn
"Did you two have some sort of argument?" I asked when we both got out of the car and I went round it to face him.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLWZtFGIAa
"What?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cg3hoBgfE
"Did you two argue?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoJoQnHG5q
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yEUCNmVxs
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62kY7N1rEY
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzMF7dDMon
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXcKe11Al7
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMG5zcuC8l
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyPyxvJjRI
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhiVltNKro
With quick strides, I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLFuaJdwUL
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE9PQPmGzs
could look at him directly in his face.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKuw9SGXWG
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsrEHD50B7
"I want you to tell me the truth."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuLzHLm5Gm
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlERs8v0KGl
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27RnhFDr7m
G-Dragon chuckled and 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GkvH0xpDl
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe8zw2w5Gv
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6UosEMS0Q
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbiX6qYQir
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jZq6P5syl
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN7qkRb5O6
"And how do you know?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOynFDl4fT9
"I'm her best friend. 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcLkj6gdIA
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLN0yQMyPz
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxf6ud6KEq
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNdnTT25S8
"Zoey can't end her 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxGNsJHweN
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEgH8y1GMN
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP9LGb8nJC
you did something."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡystVSvskbs
"Me?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG3XcCNDYy
"Da! Yes, you!"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RniBBsWh9
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9tRl4HkRO
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSphBf8rd11
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrrYkmyAHl
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWoulSvB2b
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChwo1OaKii
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8oVDuAme8
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8tc6HXUFn
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHSt39Tvzc
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYuJ11rKkn
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhUrL6DDV5
"Ya. Sure."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJfUGKhHPe
"Now, will you please 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1H4hZs4dA
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wmw8SPctQ
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgn015suuK
interview."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jcrohi8Dt
I didn't say anything, 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcIh8PpQa6
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs42PnRQJr6
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45X5iqBDLG
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F1TuWmFP9
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUvn2plOU9
but nothing.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoKMInPTFX
We were already half way into the park and still no sign of Zoey. We were by the lake and I sat down on the grass by the banks.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydz6nPq5Ue
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWTHwiDVRg
"I'm not," I said as I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg5ixSihYf
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUFgAeVOht
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vCftjXCYA
G-Dragon sat down beside977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll2acn0SyY
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKWFiS9Yln
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH5Rjvg30s
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYRRNnwUHZ
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRM6hsz2Ro
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjtw9weePD
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9ty5G5WFH
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVynSdo3NH
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwOBfgTo0Q
"You love nature, don't you?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ZnX3IuhP
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn80ozMXySw
At that moment, I was so977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHXpSHvQcj
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpho7pZiMjS
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRQcvy2fo5
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT27zFRXkZg
even the noise around me seemed non existent.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfnwvRSUv4
Then I felt something 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsinovFAR34
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwYfDt4yhk
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8YX5IZnKH
was staring at me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fCLrkcgat
"What?" I asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1jNmBxgG9
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1vpSIFJzm
I blushed all of the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VAOJewiw8
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9vBDCopVa
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtuxfZGQmO
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLUndRTsqj
I would have said yes to977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGh9SYGUJ4
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FY0Z3Om3H
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH3S0nnhXN
were never meant to be.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlu4f0mmYn
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUsZ1zbgbL
"Why?" He asked softly.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aMlHT4JM0
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuDObyB8SO
"What do you mean?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXPezky8j4
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNDm6ikV9a
"So?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71qX2dR4j0
"I want you to stay far away from me as possible. The further we are apart, the better it is for the both of us."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvKohTDWXF
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6z9neYh5n
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoEIKCxp5l
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rnDh4Mejf
"I know."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw28wMbhhqG
"Then why are you doing this?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSnCml6uy9
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdtFkK0W1V
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakw1vZYTl8
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikeecpDZra
"You should find another977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy2IpNFB3N
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWexpiQASjB
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTlfD9VEU4
will never forgive myself."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIgO4qxDli
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSYDD8fXbg
I wanted to smile but I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwHv1HzgCd
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJsii5B7wY
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEcASlHuOX
like we had beef with each other.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K0UmjkK3y
Just as I was about to 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhPcI2Cs7w
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMMA2bb3Ol
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz8uVo7BON
from his pocket and answered it.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE2yYvSDZk
"Hello? Christine?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79liw2ohfG
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudURrvwPnh
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG8WV1ZYfy
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAquZ3SgCmK
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ipq6sdGLi
"Where is she?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwot34bF7R
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOvPunmd3v
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstdmKMxRLY
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO5T5Od8PF
"Who is she with?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVUDI1bzUo
"We're about to find out. Let's go."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PRzLymkjm
G-Dragon got up from the977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSK7yhRULd
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTcNdfJp9j
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjNPzAxlTz
When we got in his car, 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7cTv5msYG
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJezmfcrQYN
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuv5VvrA6u
looked across towards the café.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCUdm5xTLm
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZSSrjO3CZ
Through the huge window,977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVi6lTDygl
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamMWzRT8tg
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1gxACL4FU
day in the afternoon.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsn0Qe6FDq
I searched for Zoey, but977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx0BQOxIX0
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7udiw2j6SY
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9gLBz8hHG
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76ycPqngzh
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ql6IqMO2
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpLdwavDmE
"Who is it?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX68GNnvm2
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEdny9TZau
"Seriously?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbG18p9MDr
"You think I'm kidding?" I turned to look at him. "Or are you now jealous that Zoey is hanging out with someone who isn't you?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPztsBfjEOe
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39fSAaOAyh
I rolled my eyes and 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBSZEByBmd
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0KUHTubMr
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ltCNxEehE
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPjwrrCXNG
She was sipping her cup 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyUGSvkfn5
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25oZIEh4OM
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrHQ75COM1
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjoEHCtKlB
"Ya."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3uQSvKkSH
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTqpFDOdWp
Zoey's smile made me 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwOhzHSOck
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2utQNocj0
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogHilOgA1d
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0fuq9PcBX
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TXZFnyFOY
I felt a threat coming 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2zGFoUkrr
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoFhRLDAw1
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu4HWwTsIA
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28As5GmzpK
going on in there.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt8aTN6fuc
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOrAhyLda5
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uEpUThjf8
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YeJnXGVJD
Just as G-Dragon came 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsjaFs8M03
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrASPX085u
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD0xtFog3L
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69cT1EGn7o
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoCpUuHi2w
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhteqWpNobU
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvBkAXS6Ci
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXeyqGY5SN
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8pwuADXZC
I didn't answer him as I977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuKFeLcBDs
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRVYWuAJWL
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqKBuxEwEF
managed to reach the café without getting hit.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkhtAbyBmb
When I got to the café, a977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSRam7KF5P
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwKCcZXLNd
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZezjCZEIO
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7CYnSSxOf
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIoTzxBov0
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTOokMyHic
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ropJZ7301
"Don't you dare try to 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGAvl0NtAb
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgeebftBqP
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydp6shYcwL
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkfsOTeEuR
"Christine told you where I was?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqI5aJb5O9
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdzXkOFvyI
I heard the bell of the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMw703eOcs
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVcJjXrHnk
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UeNEFeB9r
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81RNsUWfNm
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDQUSuRkdt
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTANvLroxwa
"Stop taking all this 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXXnAJXTMD
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyn7h3TzD5
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZhTyGUQKD
The smile on Zoey's face977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbPkn8Q5b2
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMDeGsgHFd
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZD9deo9Ly
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcLydlQWWG
ourselves.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaEXJTj3TY
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT90tdjna4
"You're right," I said 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH2KH57YMj
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBYF2V0xsn
attracting so much attention sometimes.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMuJ8TtN36
The others had started 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqDjrQlCke
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj6GBY5Shu
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMX5KBrzNh
about who he was.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mHMOEaUWE
After we left the café, 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgYS6xA1zc
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksoK9ze9V7
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0It0GuquD
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydcl1N2eaq
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpapfuAL6y5
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNyPZADeDz
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA7p4v5Mq4
Zoey and I went in 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wyQoNfXkp
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccAemguayu
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHFLMBnCMZ
We were all back in the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYIxy0pOkY
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVVSOjWHzx
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRp6yjZAq7
We gathered ourselves in977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxTZRvCunZ
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDrzyuDqZD
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPI4S3sIVv
hands on my hips.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr5VNQDpGx
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnEOlTOq4F
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHX47yMUla
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TQ7Ata8Gk
"Fine, I tell you," said977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wfc7g4hiM
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxMAtaQpna
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRpoHL0daY
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR7anEv4Nq
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftZkZVPQ7B
"No, I don't mind," said977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5bjzoK7yQ
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflymiSletw
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHWu3JAC7x
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNdInpSyX0
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtxY6xlSwg
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJymaCIoqjc
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGrXNLppNC
"As much as that sounds 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGlt1fu0Ih
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFhkMwxLPd
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpfMf80KeP
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy980aLqKTC
I started to tap my foot977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8EeMcPBDW
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrAixgbahD
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvVWSlPsMI
truth.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFm9VTP8n3
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mYxs1fCB3
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwX33k27Ll
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbjQXMwa2q
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iv9gRc7EJ
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVacjmDlYWP
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wwbiNxdmJ
"Okay, okay, eish," said977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcY19bjTIo
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTyzlGePRK
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKGeYwOEVR
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bzNhWlrTG
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew2uX2B5HS
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiLBXX864o
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyvrgEW6AM
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1igcKRVPU
Zoey was quiet and I still felt that she wasn't telling us the whole truth. I decided to play along and not say a word.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpr5YRZYIW
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApCQFEXLOT
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvKsmK55Va
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uz7rXSruw
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWHznHpM4U
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoV2sKwjsE
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H9beObvnC
"Are you sure?" Daniel 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYaHE6bN7o
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKajxDR2Prf
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5kcNIm793
haters or even us."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcT9e2uU60
Daniel was right. Zoey 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXDY12YVaQ
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwChnwbpHj
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE6KceKzHw
telling the truth.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv1t1fMs4I
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SkDtVQ9HI
"A very nice guy that 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcxzOqRB4x
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW1lFWusvi
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG1Inqia33
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcJc3Q91ss
I didn't want to 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrJojpVoec
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQxVc6TwUc
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2L9TE2Zka
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL9NdsrOgz
"And not dead," said 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaTnb4Eya1
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17bRjBPbFd
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfcXah9vgd
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOhyKT9LD1
"And you better get 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe8XmRHFET
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUgD5SOAOR
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzvFJMJ1sf
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBOgOVeqmw
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa94xfHa67
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxsJDPH5ia
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAXEAPAo1z
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqUtBhcsCV
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUxVQ5n5Qj
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRTMPDpOvu
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ZjZ7KRYc
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WJbkLqsRD
One by one the BigBang 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGM8W17v0J
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE4tQ1NmFc
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif8Azvx7Km
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdjmiataCc
When I went in my room, I977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM4YxeXJRQ
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPETYofeS2W
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjor8Gqt1qu
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXJB8mGN48
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm34OxmAJUF
"About what?" I turned to look at her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xN8eCUv3D
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhTpwKBHus
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLbOJVco64
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V6SXsDGkR
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3aROuW1Hh
"Did you see the man's face?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41BwSPfPnQ
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpFdJLnu1I
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRv541zQGC
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwxpjl5585
"I bet he is good 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsShN487Uif
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6gblrCLaC
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFBT49ZOPG
told her to?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzfxMNTPzO
"Well, I believe her on that part. I'm just wondering how he managed to convince her to come with him. Maybe he threatened her?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGzy6b9VpB
Christine's jaw dropped. "Don't say that. I know there is no any other logical explanation, but I think that's way too far."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3rwZMwXJg
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4jwcVNVGb
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8i6OR3511
"That we have to find out."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHomM8L19B
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEft0FcoXlr
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2QFvBPPu3
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIWNmQLTCP
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnt8Ob3MPt
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9ZcaPaaX8
Oh my. Had he told her 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmagVAph84R
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhyFcydIGJ
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi98jjUzYk
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovvFRuIscy
"What did you talk about?" I asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCIEjuRWTX
"He was just pissed that977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN1FiFpvHP
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51NnfOemQj
that might have upset me or something."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11aFMd8jPz
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1ReE1nQdH
"But he didn't."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQgYIuFtvb
"I see why Sam asked," 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HDx1e87dK
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdEUrkZ0B5
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKLSDir8SP
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnsSW6SrrC
And I hope it will never977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu5DYR6fYd
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJoPG7FbeS
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinvuSm4X4n
was yet to come at any moment.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBViNUBHxo
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBXRIWtyMg
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSktcKjtTKS
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5kUj6eNu1
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDfKh9zmSO
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew85gLbuAj
Christine, Zoey and I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnJCe7MgUh
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05qnmHLAAB
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14tbSuxa90
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aycpnGCJD
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecuurncLIt
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRcUNvnNDG
"Yes, he is," said Lee 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1eMqz3tCx
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH85TUfhGz
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Bdpz6TUz
well."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn09tBB9nZi
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr8wRo68rQ
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeIxZ9EOxS
"As I was saying," said Lee. "We were in the lobby when we received a package from the receptionist. Said it was for you guys."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9XdB9nnii
"Us?" I asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSvO4Xd6b1
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ2NvLpe0U
Christine and I rushed 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfGQKthajD
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiw8Ny1xLs
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK97xMJZdnk
hand.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdrGK05mBm
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZxMyJacll
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE25xbSoU3
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VONf5LcSG
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKwe5o87ip
The package was wrapped in a brown wrapper and on top of it was a white envelope. It was directed to us just as Lee said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1hwm5wVdV
I took the letter and 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGEyqxmrOY
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyONCS3Mm1T
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhbP0x7vLT
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Os8yFvxO
"That's it?" Mike asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ0m3366MT
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzZkpKfXNV
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3uIJOrN2k
"All that the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU78SEETKU
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJer4ri3n0
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11IcQQG7xG
My eyes went wide and my977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSfVAdcesx
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6JYqnMv1o
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9l2gquEly
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx9EnFfRiq
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4vDXqljtR
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeKHoEHyRc
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FIz2SLb8t
We did know him all right. The man who had been with Zoey. But who really was this guy? And this package? What could be in it?977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcMVD5vH4w
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJALVXHlABB
Christine threw Daniel 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXLRSZ6s97
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7jmSVE3NT
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUYtgP7ZBN
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UgyCFnZpf
person you barely even knew.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f9pFzKWQS
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42W8hxyeDJ
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhiw9rqZG6
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06BqpeKue4
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xGjoV1bJH
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTk2BNf2UK
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3VbYmpe3X
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y359zOQE7
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxZAPeXtuu
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFiARKNyqq
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5VzPpEzsi
"Okay, but take your 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPGQ3abd6g
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtME4tqs97O
last prayers before I leave this earth."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0rrJNVPSS
I rolled my eyes but I 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfssqFyz92
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTVafOS7R8
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsMhzveidx
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6SIQp6DRG
The other three couldn't977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXk3KAalLJ
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROxrpShkJ6
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHtbO3RaHq
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePqZ5A4J8k
nothing happened.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k7cfHQxs9
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU0NMtrDob
"What is it?" Christine asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf9QRcviT9
I looked up at the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWQSfhC65V
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGzL6FSsSI
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7DyjEWGiS
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRseIn0WztT
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL1TPebl3r
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9VVlLgcKS
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeWiH2crL5
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M2iz0oOVw
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIFjRhTnWn
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaO0QWEu6S
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtcHUTlBaI
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRgdjmETfo
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuv7OPrUOb
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdW8ODDzbJ
It was then that Zoey 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmANkDeilcZ
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhfUmqqCVY
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6mZ4zGW9x
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXGZ1n9wZo
stranger who she was with today that sent it.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK5DjngXaP
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRikl7uhTHK
"Zoey will tell you all about it," I said. "I believe this is yours." I gave the teddy bear to Zoey who held it in her hand.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV79VmlO7xn
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QLdhGvDPK
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT1r8tnsFi
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfEat4Fhm4
This time, they laughed 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETez1zs0nw
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOP9eJBNWS
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXxcBjBIFZ
reason to laugh along as well. Who knows what the future might hold? You977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CvFpossKN
