Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 21: At The Mall

Sunday was quiet and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QIV6QSr5A
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmbDDICJGX
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvfJz0BUdg
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTLNepEwiJ
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAKfocuufs

Last night, Zoey moved 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjetSoeoCo
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSaucppmBK
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yRHWppCio
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6pd1ONms5
talk to her either.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJfWg06N9v

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM2CAHxMsU

It so happened that 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj4OvRi87g
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5shFTHDkhV
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhhVgLDlY3
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh0hOkEdjy
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uQsqS1ca2
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUjgZ7mAvl

Now, I was sitting 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLyvcIWiqM
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPyopShbcR
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKrUdWodsq
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGmqboZRiF
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj24EGfoO8X

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyaoEB92N0

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit8LJy4saH

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmvVbEp8FB

"You heard me," said Lee looking down on me, with an annoying look on her face. "Are you going to sit here the whole day?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw4p0a6GYU

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mQ0Q02R8d

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQBnZSTb50

"Lee!" I whined, putting1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLuQK8KK6u
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYoWyhY2Yv
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP942nFAB8S

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVN1lTOs2c

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIPvoUo1pn

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hTJPVQQYM

"Why? I want to stay here."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKUWvMYl9C

"I need to go and shop 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnHK0FmwCC
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gt9wWSdoQ
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFvPMoEkct

"But watching YouTube 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK5uXGKOY3
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT3yeBiBP4
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldfJoLEZEQ

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4mXSyhkkC

"I think Lee is right, 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVayxXIjKM
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtscvOj05tF
out on Sundays like you do back home."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sVmRVIuel

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z3AjzVEIH

"I know you're a fan of 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ytUUvfjXZ
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKJLkcxXyo
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwLgeJ3rrl

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR50LuOiIn

"Well, that's what 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcnOtExCse
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEZlSFS0Bz
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaIBJ2VeOl

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeV93rF211

"That's what we are 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACnuYWzhrg
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjxc8Prqoy
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKficDiwbWV
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8uS9EnxLJ

Daniel's right. I had to1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86DnVhdin7
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQFzmMNgx4
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeHAdQirIy
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAYdKLSLEc

Unlike the others, Lee 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw1vlTnO9I
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ysrDvyPhY
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfumDAakQn8
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio0KFbBbZV
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQXIMZLZUQ
and Zoey together.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LT5fk77RJ

I really wanted to tell 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDdpIr7Ezs
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndJrtmByrm
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeHlykLrjl
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9dJLrepoo
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAQyokTbZn
When was I ever going to change?1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iANEJhKO5

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd1D0pHXQm

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSQalDV8pA

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwTVmAGSnX

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3hFH2RLfY

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlvHcEJA1x

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVOhNE98Ya
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApfecy9p45
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfPcobna2q
my room to get my shoes.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ600v3idEay

After I wore my white 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKfKgtAtkl
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7eXxh0Tni
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUQWuHsGra
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBdlPWlKX3
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7w4YlTNd5
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhkywbbDRH

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWFoTFUzaI

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ny3kTAxIF

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu3aWwfUp0

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreSsM1VcFw

"We can go, now," I told her.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwIAoZfUqP

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9AroTZxBc

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFfLutyWRZ

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs8NssPmKk

I smiled back at him. 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWEVGGEkSm
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeFDUF72Is
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBQKZtg6n9
guards in the other SUV.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y5qOq7ozK

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9aSFbvg0T

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lDgnvDsbB

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB9rB8TOun

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoyjsFT4AQ

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6LHkmeq6S

"To the mall," Lee answered.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Apeg8I1rT

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiOe8AfqQ0

"What's wrong with the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3ujZL03pr
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ28y5pTh2X
best plans just come out of the blue."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprRm2CYK2X

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSu7nArHW4

"And waste the day away? No way."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZVvzZgH5C

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDdaLnYf6g

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nANeKcBi8

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufRyH3JiQc

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnuGlMDsoC

"No. Zoey might have 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaYfdtg9u8
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ560HZu0HBz
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GYXM3U9pU
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9UgLMFYmm

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnYcythwhC

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSiwCNfAmx

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfpBEMAQYg

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvDRd2XsD8

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIynZIwwsux

"I don't know what to do1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4YAhiX4Ha
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xiCjkgCIO
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoggUTccrO
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlf8odl3eg
somehow."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuxlfYTTkG

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIQQ8ZlVHq

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAskrugAX7D

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb4QTDhjpu

I folded my arms as I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFPPpnsX92
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOkLLnmp6C
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHYbwR0n59
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAdUBL8yx4
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwaluQ2NVR

We soon reached the mall1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iqYEcggeX
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBEkXPApZB
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEx3chUYlT
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5USFbscwY
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx0HPEfyDJ
the bodyguards were around.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8hnfvBoCJ

Lee and I first went 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuENi8GfdR0
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSsZJdYCud
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9iJut3TVe
a while. I was having fun.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8bBOJwm3N

And when it came to the fans, some were brave enough to go past the guards and come take photos with me and take autographs.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMggL5SHei

Lee and I soon came out 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sJECRjSOP
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdnmdwMmG5
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGv2NVRsK1
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjwegkY0HG
our bags because we bought way too much.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI43rW0Nol

When we walked out of 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF04II5Je8
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsyAw2qZL3
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmuimZE6Cl
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2KHOsck48
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurEHpQPf6z

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf0CTgL1mp

I couldn't answer Lee. I1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHgJoJ5Aid
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnubYGn156
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijH8eLJ7Ym

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ7IfWFjUy

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QyeleNEU4

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp9DNht1Tc

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5e8jRGc5b

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZjRKLTssR

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemBlLChneA

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDErXZcOkB

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8at5paNmlP

I looked at each and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivI6KdvFMR
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs1ZGazeSD
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJWEzy5dN4

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxdlNg3eyo

"What?" Lee looked 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoBUpC7frH
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoW84OyeMg
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqbmJRZO9E
panda."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O9oCWSHYW

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUFKPiEnfd

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwLdDgXg30

"Derrick's brother sent 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7MlGj2JcG
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WbNpAgtDd
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL5jRPcNnG
bear."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM25uPSqYS2

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvJFd0KiJo

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEuurErY1G

"I don't get it though."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3MOdqvzJK
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOV7KQKRJk
so concerned about that small teddy?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl8TSTVGYC

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO9uXKKGpF

***1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppxpjvQFn6

Zoey's P.O.V1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ufLg4dvTm

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0O7H0mnt4

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe7bpe64sz

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoScETo1Xtx

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXTaCHoZc0

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWXZYWUCO7

"You moved out of the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UNxWsDLYs
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVuJXKRexM
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE88S7o7CHM
of alien or something."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8jgEiGNmS

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMlY6a6TqI

In a quick flash, a 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QLdqnGcS2
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLQzpmYDZI
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjCyGKGJ8J

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV3GLdMn4a

"Do you want more of 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsP6a2NuEc
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov2YMelZDa
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvy1Ia4jVG

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9wVcmC28k

"You got that right." 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH22vmHOptU
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmKghAPMNW
ignore her like you're doing forever."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstXAdQaUs3

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczQzhy6kwR

"You know that sooner or later you will need her. And besides, she is always going to be around whether you like it or not."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5JQxagV2R

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYITz15feH9

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvOAuubBdr

"It's normal for someone1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSRkrNy70M
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89vi6h5OGB
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkClTlC8dyT
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNkiTLfjIt
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtitJnFNe6Z
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9T29NQEKh

I always hated such kind1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5YCO10mPu
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF2sspVQgY
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5WGPEfcep
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaeGINTbZm
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLHTOF3dlq
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hycoavE5K
nothing.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wNvoPJGcS

I've never told anyone 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzsGDAxQn8
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFqvyhkgHf
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDzZtj2yef
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2ODDz96tm
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIaROt4f0z
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cmrfQk9kU
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW8cYIdzLf

I am Yin and she is 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzATJZPqKmY
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43REsb475V
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHjyAc0TvE
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZZzYCujHx
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeLZWeLSEI

And now when I needed 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLU3nUhRik
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMfkJf8CTR
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQwMH65FSH
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQfsN3S70I
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TWef153ge
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQifCdnDASB

It all begun when I went1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdrBaF51qM
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi3jxWqsVI
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ8TTtUyXz
this mess.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoxcS3Fyq4

We were having so much 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsldpKiJE71
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iRI1iIfR2
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UALOGwhDU
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5XY4kNpCj
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDercDEQf2B
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzhzclJspF
things did go wrong.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBDPGnUS9T

As we were watching the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrJSbyjSJV
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiE8KnKwUg
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwdk0wZZ3e
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M2kV6Oqk6

When I looked at him, he1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuE5w1HbKS
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMT3IG0HMd
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBLi0IZLBP
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sx0trugPw
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDlkV20jsM
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAhTKQaEn0

After the show when 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MUAYUkvQb
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62MQZ1RoVe
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaP8vTfY8u
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHTQilu2EF
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BuKm5wXWI
take a few minutes.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJqoccxg6q

I didn't find anything 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ij5AXGPY9
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXzoZn0GUq
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l79ot6J4h
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnPtVKSre7
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gvZIGZml2
too much.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaLqTWp2iq

Jehan led the way out 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDsaKGCGcO
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhuquCtDR0
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNlg60VrG1
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHn3VIgafj
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ0geI1adb
that I felt a little safe.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3vKAZj58Y

The two of us soon found1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3bprpO46t
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDH3Z8BBIB
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjdL6eXk0G
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9PKfr6VuP
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrw6Vg77OP
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6r2w4mBkU
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuHkazpg1C
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDtVOR7yBB
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ylmEfy1Ou
menacing.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBocOxl9PCt

He gave me something for1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfOpHOVkYn
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzfMioOrmU
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2fpyaoLh6
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZaUlaJHNm
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX8DNiJvJS
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCUxcGyYmp
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjbLRefjxY

Whatever he sent me that1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynfxluuD2f
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm5JWRRQOa
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpviZlzrLts
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTK1fOQZuU
happened yesterday.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6NNoZKgBq

I had never been in this1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVKCCT4WtM
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy4eXC9WK2
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeezE9kVR2H
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxqhSwBzpD
crying out loud. I had to do something.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ5xZNWbnM

My phone rang bringing 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHny2zDKwjL
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbsRaoaX8G
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMF4xrEt5s
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6ZKx2mwAg

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sZRptIGoZ

"I...uh, ya, I will," I said as I picked up the phone and answered the call. I could already feel myself starting to sweat.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuAIhvSRXv

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytrt3tpFPe

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMSLNgtNoq

I would have told him to1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg2a9PQc71
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefk5ZjiV6R
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rE1dNEcMd

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcOkRENwNf

"Looks like you aren't 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjd4Uo2dys
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiHIxZjKnv
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmXM4teHMc

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xrbry5TMB

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9TR0ehTvC

"Just get to the point, 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQR0A5Ukyx
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNSGMWm1U7
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0gwsVuWCu

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVVFjhnRQH

"Today? Are you serious?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr5cUSt014

"You know that I am. We meet today."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXHWvD3krJ

"But where?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSJBJOgWCs

"At the mall."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziQ9ZNsCWe

For a moment I almost 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dP2udqn1I
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiqioMxKx0
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnpRJpopfB
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6JWt61Dwo
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDFrKTfu4V

"What's so funny?" Jehan1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdVS8nkqUr
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijxrWxjzsp
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor5HBaReNW
myself.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5XbaiSCEJ

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FhdcjunZH

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy8wlOXT17

If he thought saying 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt3m4kZndn
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mk1bML1XJ
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i0PNqGAM8

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnndFAVsFQa

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXJz7IGFZx

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0exHYNfCun

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Pk9nhLAg

"Ya, sure."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LrVvsIHPw

Jehan didn't say 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo8h56SsXp
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DTVePVpCs
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHxMY5DsPZ
Typical.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9PpbY277K

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqwVl33jtb

"Oh, it was Seungri," I lied. "He wanted to see if I was free right now so that the two of us could hang out."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4cy8u9z1T

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGYSWPQnaa

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH40jVIPO4s

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaOq1Qb70m

"Why? You think I would?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU3aBqYpQp

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFcjSfy0qk

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzVrzBaaIo

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfynDBrzyke

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEynTtFpmR

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbALUTyc0F

"That one. Where is it?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys7sgdxglJ

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YKUWpf3MJ

"I just want to ask if it's still around. That's all. I hadn't seen it ever since we went bowling that other day."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DZobgqAD5

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnpn01y7yk

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7kQIE4jmN

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Qn7FOO5V

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vErhYhIwu

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7SwAuXVAf

I quietly went over to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDcsUx5ueO
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P3LhkrXcy
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFRPZgYEDC
soon.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOObyWRtws

I came to the drawer 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6xZCEgVpa
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdivsyDvBSP
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWrQ7fJbE3

I looked at her bed and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCcen0Gxq5
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpcqbhLrfM
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9XpgUinZb

"There you are," I said softly as I took the teddy. "I think it's now time for you to leave once and for all."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR8iyXHg8H

I heard the tap in the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4dpejxb43
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ocjraANX
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pd07utw3T
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRJlKLunRZ
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri378Fpn5j

***1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnGLfpfWWI

Sam's P.O.V1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7bGWMRlx0

"Do you really think 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhvQTVJgZ1
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40DPnpQlsQ
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2Zipx0rr2

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwqA6bvhuQ

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqeTG0yU1N

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6CVnLbv6M

"I hope it's not drugs."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlNAYBbvqV

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaEIjVYp4G

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pUuJ7FUf4

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax2zm2QGBx

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKNG4ktnt5

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m8IVgSDm7

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczRfOFh14e

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiKi5ovtEj

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOF4b0b6gS

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8UobqruOG

"Zoey."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyY6BEFp5k

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPU3rrfekX
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhiZ7lEFEm
they couldn't because of our little fight."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nfBOkDHgf

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY4Sh8tC0N
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbAzlOsuJR
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFFSvVrDMj

I raised an eyebrow at 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFqJsDTXIt
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wYaapAOV6
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHjMNP3qyD

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBAT5JiUME
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCxhhEgjuO
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY3NeEst7m
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskDgPE44b3

"About what?" Lee asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhg5hTkuuX

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcMXJbELBI

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpl1UGojsG

"But today might be the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTPDxLcPTR
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThtbYF86wq
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EA4r2W6KO

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ECfxXFBw2

My heart rate quickened 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA2FnKoenB
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11rDZIBDXE
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnJQjJxF4w

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHoZjHUQof

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp72IkulfBI

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZQvauFO3X

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3jcDsX9Hl

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtyq117bnE

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TO26LBKxH

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83y3m9CsWu

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd4KOORCUH

"Alright, thanks, 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXiQGpF39v
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1QwzEVpDY
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAHrDEXa5z
Seungri."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxTUEw1KeP

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrypGyV5WSj

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGNhMFxfyL

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iaZqjOkDn

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVSwSnnr37

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZmWrlKhbb

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4HxXCif0i

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjcxSu1UQ5

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksB9IP3kaU

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS1tf3u7Hy

"Yes, I am." I could 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqBTNDrmad
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzJZkY4Quc
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaMzfONVak
perhaps?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3KISRYXBp

I rolled my eyes and as 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqpi3ChyJk
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnUU3daauz
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSY6wfSVyy
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC7dSc25v5

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDnHw12wLc

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9NRyX67b0

I bit my lower lip and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdajpwDoMlM
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DqQB5Dv1e
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBqAfsHDvq

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5M6jXivUv

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTzcRGSVMI

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1saNuCAJTT

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCvc2QzwkV

"Bye."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXySNnlOfLO

"Bye, my little kitty."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7596gHm7Gw

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygvZXBsG8i

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iL3kWxbEw

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIjbb6RALE

"Nope. And he isn't 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z4bdX8nsa
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3jbcE8Es6
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06fM1UlyLj

"Oh." Lee took her smoothie and sucked on the straw. "Umm, what are we going to do now? We have to know where Zoey is."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K7tOJzKqT

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pEw46JGLY

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVb4qYmRrE

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeliAYru3MC

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2sPS2zAiD

"Tell me about it." I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0WArb5Wqk
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BmsHvBgpC
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLey6n5fmNy

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyTFQx2NzG

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJsyiTTL1M

After we were done with 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPgrCuwSpu
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fN4Nzr26u
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSNbtBoHPq

As soon as we walked out1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjACc1mVFxQ
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHL0YZ4G2J
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJOO7w8lZM
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vc1EkwCeO
looking black suit stepped out.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45qcGYGTQz

Time seemed to have 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq821SFPyf
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2T7aTTN8T
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJXOTksmCn
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR5FG41Huo
something familiar about him.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w48Nv92gn

Just as I was about to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss6mNCmgPu
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKYclhyAkB
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoahPbboKbz

I almost tripped and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIq7AtA9Zm
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagvGMvijQz
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ496tmdKvVm
me from falling.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipmMH0U1C9

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7idkdmaC8U

I didn't say a word as I1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvGLV3ouTb
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QWZjokERw
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdNC6H6kdP

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV5weaA81b

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBdfmuB48O

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAH16B03hE

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmE56kfo47

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPHA5MeYlU

Narrator's P.O.V1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu23qVXYx9M

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOnw5AOwWg

"Hey guys, am here," 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr4Eu3XYgo
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsjFhuyUP7
look downcast as though someone's just died."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLkLp2hdXT

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMZIXW93p6

"This is getting real 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXlP2Z4lMq
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdjnGQ14n8
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpvY46OtsT
her or with anyone of you."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96nmOB8dre

"No, I think now is the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6wOCpkXEU
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbXo8VmVYJ
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WDhJwSVnC

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdTosGWCgH

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSq64Y9Zbk

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5epbiToDgo

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC1y1B9He5

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOhpWXmorv

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqWWVv7jkU

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7wFfJENuo

The others rolled their 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPirMJpXxZ
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01gDmeP3Fb
around and now wasn't the time for it.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrClJR575UO

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vg9GQGjcP

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGNvCporAY

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYBLeKyCO6

"Well, maybe," said 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0CM1fUQVN
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasWgIWecDL
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IsXRbJSVz
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTtpvS7SHZ

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YZv2b7Pk0

"When I saw Daesung and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeGcDj9zcl
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGEmCfyEmE
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnmKJaExcY

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vwp3DL3Ul

G-Dragon didn't answer 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZTFqZpgFP
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeikja26u0g
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pku9OxhBA

"Oh, I get it now," said Seungri, as he looked up at the ceiling. "But I see no reason why Sam could be in the wrong here."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8CsoNN7o5

"What do you mean?" 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzZnc8Hnb3
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKV09EiEIe
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaymNh96tJ

"She was just doing that1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqWJJxuXMR
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw1B31fuQa
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlNdYA5sH4
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcTZdDXeNt
be together."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfc5kQWn7c

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKH7dAR2TN

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EkLYsuDQl

All the four BigBang 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2678xwWhaP
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFlKk0quoC
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMQyPwBeIJ
heard him come in.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcDUoD44Pd

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NZuMApLc7

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvDsC382de

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVa9TuOXyy

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn6j2mVp2a

"I'm not going to stay 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdMaQgdm0n
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3eSKAiEcD
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQARnqU3YB

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGlHIlZXe2

"No, I don't."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5Y8zzOQob

Before G-Dragon could 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M4kxBjlx4
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XhC2EwHDY
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuuJ1V0sye

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKKNxmpRNe

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRvq7pwI3r

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYGPRatDff

G-Dragon folded his arms1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRJt6MMfJE
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovqFSaceSM
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrQAJmFonn
stared at the ceiling.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt3tLXEnDI

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasHel81CFE

Daesung came into the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixxx566S2o
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSOK5dTUhN
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEfGvllcxt

"Look, I know you're 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgXB6mgCal
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFSOeT085S
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGLf0jK38Y
never told me anything either."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6bdmbfJI9

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSpEoJUDfn

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOKyTtiaLd

"Why?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIuhLfnAga

"She just felt like it 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVucZT6Bwf
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4BbNag2R8
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVztX9GnJl
long distance relationships will ever work out."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRBZ3Ts36Y

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhSeAyR2uM

"Because I know I'll 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG38DWmJZm
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfttEXEMgip
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ9cOt4hEz
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB8hdCBqDO
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk2axeFU18
want to hurt anyone either.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRKOh3cKIu

"Maybe that's why she 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot0N7HvTN7
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7sQKqrpBA
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCEJQwCDua
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp31IJBuk4

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMll8yjnE4

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJghNQKdf0

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV3sODrGzP

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3WIoEjGpo

"I know."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys7prwzc8L

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7QZPraDcl

"I'll think about it."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg2vl1l7Fm

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNSZK2pDr5
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjg3QGKVUi
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKGuPYoDSm
the mall."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDMfeZ1XJ4

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirSUgZUayE

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98oXrikxbM

"Ya," said Seungri, 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvDFiJ4W3k
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMpycRnh8H
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq92pSw5pf

"No way! I'm not going to the mall," said G-Dragon. "What am I going to say? I need more time to think about it."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUrnhy2hl4

"There is no time to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9pbrJ2IKO
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4JpCNyJyP
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5ILcjiJ7l

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID4gp6YLkJ

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw41Y8HrGW

"We're your best 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhIWwLiJJf
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dWn1P0qGl
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXD5lTASs2

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNO66xNHUq

Zoey's P.O.V1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JANNwC6GH

I came out of the black 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoW47Nauup
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJgM99aEAe
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bCdXER4kv
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGNWZWbSOw
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivWIbjqjlL
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQFor1l3Ub
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAifKUlJCSr
by my fans.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RYIDRDsi2

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh9rKTZ94t

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn0LSPTivS

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYS6fwWABV

"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVWXh0StTd

"Okay."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX31gNKeGiT

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO6R1SCSGy

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsHfd6ZVJm

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOc4fAyx8A

"Well, I'm glad you 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVSrBuakuk
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvmhe1dx33
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ787s0josk4
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0FVM3iR1n
lot smarter than you think."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBbVINtHHl

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLkISsdY57

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7UOKafWrk
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DWIBwKPCi
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WisfimF5S

When I went into the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk899bNxNN
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mPfbCnkW2
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FKJFousgp

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yPnMsAyLi

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsuzNFu3fa

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGnFvL9Xhp

I shivered. Despite his 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c3GpOdxpT
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVWtG8i5JL
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6KmBCTnw6
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQotTWo54jp
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cVOBxxBwO

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpgIFFJX4y

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzrxzYpwiR

"Why do you need to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb7stJBQeY
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIgMLmKPws
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOTQhCskq6

"Well, I need to know 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5RlSa750n
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ59wRDo7s
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNtJMwIrrz

"And tell me, why should1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KVHUtmTV1
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGiRoMQvKe
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLudunRkfN3
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0THFrTz1U
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81cQr4BAEz

"I...eh..." I looked him1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOHyXCYZ44
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pW2ImJ6nn
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjJ9U5WkPo
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodIL9lC2er
the kind who would send such a thing."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mIsNHtW0q

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlqp0F6FIY
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaVA3XOP9N
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG378a0GC0

"I don't know." I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGBkbavCIm
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Roa4KApw
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ghuUEtJIt
up to?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOmFbwVYkV

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmsoV7avfW

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHeR1S4WOS

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VaouGlrIw

"What's the matter with that?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BUhf7An7B

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAYryz4mMF

"Don't test my patience,1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinU8t8fKkS
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtdT6AgGgi
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIv9laCtIq
think you deserve to you know."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSdlC1u7QD

"Well, yes, I do."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeMyGe3MdC

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR3HDFa1Wg

Sam's P.O.V1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth4CovEkDQ

I could see Zoey from 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2yRc0D11I
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK5QricG9U
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQZJ9EmhrR
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMy6mhIHD8
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIC4djLTOD

I was entirely grateful 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjirWDWTpnF
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzjj6PA0p3
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9r0s88aje
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJTXRs8ZoZ
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIFxwbikP1
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeC5apjggc
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0OvLfhscS

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqz51A8XsD

"Believe me, he is," I said as I looked at a nice beige top on a hanger and then took a brief glance out the window.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdkP64QdeP

"But how did you know 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwJpW2HSRI
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4vq8lOe0p
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWUtb4PHVQ

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFJlCk5E89

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl0FBT5nTM

"Well, ya," I said as I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFOQaiFrbc
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBtMBeUFKd
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtN6m6CLRt
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5USvQnntOw

Lee turned to the window1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAJKt2OMgt
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCEGqMDedn
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw1zJgST0I

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoqbXZKVNa

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0Dz0ZVEyM

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGjjG87eEC

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumhmcjguxa

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ix1Vj5d3E

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQgMaaIDcO

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYQUp81tAy

We made sure to keep a 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIcGZ2ua32
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z4x0x8jAh
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDvNsMO3yO
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCFi3Xz4Ik
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRLt5mtg7C

They went down the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfig3SREl0
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QJJnqfJyJ
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbsQ7FjhLb
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqbmtVWXxw

They were led by a 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwcqrrdbOC
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHhuVebZUP
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGhnb5EYJu
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi45gzMLu44
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1d21MK42O
restaurant.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh98yB8pvvJ

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDDZSbBiA5

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4uIyQ0jkP

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYfQscLdFC

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGufesU5zN

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUxlRa3ZvG

"Me neither. But what to1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87NQNvRoOI
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclpBqR67II
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CHvrzfwqe

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI1Oc0yppP

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrp2m8N8Ph

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFy3BHtqA9

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jGKYLMe2j

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbni111QPU8

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3d65Qql1U

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKuuTQ13SK

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV6rJzEXGB

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJzDOlorje

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0CxQeSXKD

"Don't worry. Seungri 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlEwN0rAmD
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmQHohnrvP
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdNqPwFJQR
and she will know something fishy is going on."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyR7lsqcCt

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQERUHXHIVe

Zoey's P.O.V1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DcKcRD0Eo

I looked at the menu and1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdTbmGql7Z
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcRTp8BXVe
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN5FmEPl9n
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DBsKg6cxN
looked up at me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOWo216USd

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZvWwvxtTB

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUumA0k3JDk

"Why?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfncCasiNPO

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnwPYf1MFz

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CuN3ifZid

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pDLAGnHu2

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8BecLrvhX

"What?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV9wGJGvo3

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypzkzmHCGx

"I'll try not to next 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNZg6fu4qR
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG7djSENLC
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKblg2xmh1

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9mzeVkzvh

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvi6ZBZch5

"Not tell anyone."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtgn9BtpAN

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmliC2ZhUo

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq36itetbc

"I smuggle diamonds."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9hoWA22xR

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHJamFktBj

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE9u1NVd6u

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoaf1HCyC3

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQhXXuos9v

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS99bbIonEM

The waiter came with our1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWF1eL0zvS
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPtlLEx0qV
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZyHB2QroE

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1rLyD0DnD

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6Eo5ZCv5Q

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oqEVyhY59

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpDDkuXcp9

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9GUkEmOkR

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocEyTzZc06

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtgzlW0dxj

"Is that why you're so rich?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4zKfmSXBc

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OdABYJXsf

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv0mCqRgat

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWjXllWmMZ

I gulped. He was giving 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWhdDMQ65d
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6OvTxG1VQ

entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLOavY7AMT
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpVluXNXGN
car? What was he doing here?1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowBZXuG22z

Seungri came out of the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7z0XAXGri
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAUY1QnQH3
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRFEQYzRH9
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxiFrLYpaN
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOh6CmFEZu
what I was expecting.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLio1hzExqk

I trembled. What am I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGxIXJflb2
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLDDngzyrO
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpINJSC2zVP
give Mr Teddy away.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOarHA7oLA

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4yBjYxOye

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF04dg2yR3K

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhezECrRfU

"I, no....I," I didn't 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfxCFywGjQ
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwhWX6Lc6i

"I was only expecting 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY0USzLsHn
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KkbZrPbRJ
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKlIyvpSOk
seeing the two of them together.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVSRccOrIM

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCZGaD5yx4

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3kLDW3zdp

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoUFT1Jyj8

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwz4eKGucJ

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwDjqYaKOC

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxCY3vjLmt

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNWDKg88fU

"Come with me," I said 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRyQDUw1Fq
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w0tRg3Os8
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ2HLtsxDp
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3tG1Ynnd3

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DC7IghHmW

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUgP1nnGDy

"Hi, guys. You're 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmVA7K2lsJ

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5zSGTvBJa

I could feel Lee's eyes on me and I could tell she was scared of telling them the truth. So, I had to do the talking.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O27yiNwRB

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn5vSrUD2D

Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xexooz9WC
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBlQLTotp9

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz6dcJZvdp

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbCHchfaB6

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYVZJRggIU

"Yes, I do," said G-Dragon looking through the glass window. "We met him at the fashion show. I'm surprised why he is here."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDeUwEbiFn

"We were also wondering 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLWyO25voR
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsLs4wu4np
them, but decided that I would rather not."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx8H50O2m5

"Why?" Daesung asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikNLoGdVrH

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5zMWWzOvz
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE3QWZx0KT
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknLlX01TfB
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFqac48HM4

"Aww, so sweet of you to think I could solve that out for you, my little kitty," said Seungri with a smile on his face.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaWDu20dQJ

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUaEJ8lNjV
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Aki0oh7H
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5KtJhFKzj

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8da2TqYci

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7ZgJ0joR3

Everyone turned to look 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQE2y7vJjk
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeokIBxA5yL
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsdR182Sgh
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLww3YncmMQ

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuYnjdzcGa

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsi74JFjHm

"Here you're now 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Sbl3OJL9p
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA19pborGSV
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54p8AdQsrY

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgffNn1tQnA

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVup3v5gg2
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bdyeOnLGk
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUoFAtXcLf
something, quick.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSRMjF1Wxl

"Okay, fine, we will 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5jFndZts6
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiK21sYnh9
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1vSPb2Fiu

Yes. Finally. I thought 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5L5UbFsPY
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMsnzuFjas
everything was going to be delayed.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXTqfH6zvj

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvB9gWrAwQ

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeXvSNmyCB

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpkrO1viRb

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxZ7IiJx0p

As much as I wanted to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7AH2wZ9vs
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfbzGRCIFn
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVQxzzCSVr

***1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnINyTyl3Uo

Zoey's P.O.V1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXwTKMGsEO

As much as I tried to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGt7H50y3U
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNbzwVYKPA
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoczwUWr2Y
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG7PkWUcmd
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GGe6trmlG

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme3U4ik0Sa

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB927K9ThRI

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2secBA7zh

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ha2eMyWQx

"Looks like you're getting all worked up for nothing, Zoey." Jehan got a napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tiyPBkEM4

"What do you want me to 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllk4ugbw4X
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIW3I8MH9V
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRftLLCKJ2
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGA8s32Ng9

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqPhwIjDXG

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhji5EcKQMt

Jehan shook his head and1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5IRQziPDE
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhCDlrBcNU
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ4r7Vmbz0
annoying."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWQ8sTrSfM

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wmBD3stVH

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cwdUm6kdv

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2poPfjx6Yb

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq8Y2tm9sq

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlehMpbFXPI

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9inJnMlqw

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ml1q9fLam

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcl9cCjbmC

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPoCzrnkdf

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadRlf4MHkP

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NMehcx2tk

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIiWgccPFL

"Yes, for real."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK6reNtIXi

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudUxoT81G7

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NWtv3Mx3R
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUaOlwzsJx
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYhAd9n6tf

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HhSV47OON

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSGQSkeFv2

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vZ0HL8zYU

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kLRUS1d8K

I took a deep breath. This was it. Once I give him the teddy, it will all be over and I can finally be in peace.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQEjRjOtqe

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStcjD7N275

"Zoey, hey!"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxRlpL64wJ

Seungri? I quickly 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCgdB6rxoz
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO1LKzHWqi
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOQLSxHOTr
here?1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68o2Q89v1z

They came over to our 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNmd1Tm3jo
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVvtxfYDMI
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsVuuvQoYI
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBWeNQ2fD4
to do now?1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYGvirplTK

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadMYsqN6qv

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI75wruI8y3

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIYiZfCDCd

"Jehan."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0B7WeYxqr

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cHNviCaR1

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0vthlmTeH

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOm907ziIh

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhjRZjz0gT

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARSH9DADxz

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHn0EyqNX9

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCZoNPXeF8

I almost spit out the 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXS1gKLN9E
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO73lMClpE
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzqBOcgB6F
to water.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivkbLaMyYE

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTmzRBMmn1

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1i8b1ZHBs

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1H6owpLYm

Jehan looked at me and I1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTIBa5Wwls
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRwQmMwZUN
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZa0BmBNlA

"May I ask what you're 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u3xXhj0aQ
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4pTEFiwey
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lE9aEimq0

"Oh, we just came here 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxlF8Ap1oO
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgj5rzJyLe
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUmZAJcks1

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiK1GmUsP7

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJysK3Ssrtn

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCXuuqjWwo

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ5quC84hb

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcBW6GNNeL

"Yes, we will," said 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhWEFig5sy
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRNM5ChqV1
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfzrnF9Jnk

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFbm8KcyYY

"You too," said Seungri.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFnOGZG5Nv

Jehan gave a small smile1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5g1astqso
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKSl9BlUoD
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEJk8VAeIE
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf16VVEDrBj

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGs3ehNWlu

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vj9pB0sCi

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxag7jjGIKw

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRAQ4fh2KI

I wondered how I was 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Bj6p4CLm
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn0X15TXPz
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNSPxjCzdu
head until I give the teddy bear away.1110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kijhNR0NP

This was just great!
