Zoey's P.O.V1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIodN6iGlA
Waking up this Monday 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYGWh9hcLD
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3cTXpqhxM
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuufop9VYks
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4rws6XnLR
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hqrk6hQPb
myself to be.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIPrCrh1o4
I couldn't stop 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIcGayFQWP
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTilxhKM8H
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBZrcBmuGY
feel that something was wrong.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45PrPz6au5
Could they have known 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnws9j7JeYB
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7bsFd2UYr
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKX9IiBSaj
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv11yKuolJo
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNH5XIshQO
just had our usual conversation.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTErBeqV3ao
I brushed off all those 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5sqp9rs9P
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi2zkHow6w
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfQNTjfmsY
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8ZtbNThzg
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4ehbtmHdv
But now that she wasn't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLboAzWqRG
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe8AyVcjaN
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLWJgbxbNK
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBzj0RBRAy
woken up early before the alarm rang.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspjtR8ckJK
I sat up on my bed and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaKzbIYJKQ
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkaOyt3llu
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHfk31NIqo
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4uKOUq88c
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwXcDGyz85
After seeing her with 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgdNghTRlJ
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINjSBLRaoV
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7H2ZFJErX
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQwEzVU04m
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dB4tvPrZ3
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7wAoniaeb
day. That left me devastated.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx321ziYGF
I couldn't stop looking 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE4oKu9flE
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiXxXwYbTz
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YGi4cxtQe
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm5wDwq2N7
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4CuuVj5Vg
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNp1khuBq3
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSXGVi9DOo
That sent me boiling to a1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlGj38nVQh
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6UH5NBv3Z
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqZavNjPio
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzOiqMo9WW
Christine had told me to1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmjJ4e1Y9m
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdey7B0HD8
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrfAq2I63c
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpGw6Xu5gF
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijs2MBvF2M
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg2j9HVNiP
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkIe4gIC8G
And now, I had to face 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyConZB0aRz
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9JwVJsYD8
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2cIZbdmEK
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpmRWX1mYu
was still so upset.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fxDAllftY
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnBz0RBAvr
After I was done, I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNrG7fJk4l
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C8JKoEBZp
others at the dining table for breakfast.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU96Fwb9Hi
I found them already 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfMy15fwiR
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQZThQyqmC
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eT7usvZ1c
I felt a little awkward 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSo4r7Dzr9
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9P1kPrBOF
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhR9TIH3NA
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFIN9Ks3Qj
that also felt weird.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc22EAuvEo
I know that she and I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR2N0WmdIN
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAenb1bINGY
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrTQZOE1W7
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtIdLB5Oku
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESmocSnFUu
like something was wrong.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC88VQ2FUhB
I poured myself a cup of1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMywVubFOkg
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHPeYOgvge
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdDYI4X2A4
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwUvMmd1zZ
My heart almost skipped a1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3rHJh8kLd
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCKvcuvkeT
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCSUMtZztQ
too far. I was over here! Hello!1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3feXM4EoZe
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB9VESD8s0
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTHtBPoI6Z
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN81C6OR1x
"I have no doubt about it."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7mWcPxIzi
"But I don't see why you1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W4FWQQjcR
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDzJ600xhH
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKEte0jkga
"One thing about fans is1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmNgLtRR6Y
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj4AS9tWlT
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8AmcIqLtg
"I know," said Lee. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXYVr92rLh
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1rub1kzUg
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSn11DNen9
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYN7f2gIlG
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrWNjCV7h9
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb2quZIloE
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbllBHsmYTB
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGoKZNHwlO
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdarquNNIZ
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2QpXlPNSL
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYQxsjmDtq
"You're just too quiet, that's all."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvo4f4k6Av
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OS0FSBYKH
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3VQGm4Smv
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCQ46nh6l2
I stuck my tongue out at1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U6wf10XVr
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lzVuUcJQw
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK72IXgFyV
still wasn't looking in my direction.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eqmBF9lK3
Soon after breakfast, we1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Lu5vUxIO
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30yyLs9r2x
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h5f7rpqV7
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQyxSFhUcA
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrzA4qwhZe
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXT5j5VliM
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1op4NA3ZSB
she would.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3tOw1Y4M5
We arrived at YG and we 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOCRTyeVLp
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdquHUxTbci
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeu18tdQKb
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCxxFDwujE
When everyone was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljOCv0gvGG
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YU6QFW9Iv
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTpYQ9ANn3
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOrjbJ1Tf6
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AAmQwhgZp
He not responding to me 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFQH0dQ6BM
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueOJg4PJFW
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3LxgkpnOE
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXHVElUYU1
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLaAdto8nn
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3GtPGNEyf
looked away instead.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxi9Eeoi6t
We went straight to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqaAAfPTRO
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdawtZHXAl5
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXELdAMcuZN
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmhsLMrcTH
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOHWIFsLB2
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuUbqFy7UA
During pratice, I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBbaLcdcCb
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCGneqo0rF
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0OtO7o7Hj
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxdE2djOMw
G-Dragon wasn't the only1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2qcyUBSgP
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpLTQGlmKh
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ipvHloDPD
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe5fM6W0Tv
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6bVivgXlP
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCQrctCZQF
As her best friend, I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdU4CI5rVZ
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzZE2tdBCX
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzPqnojVnD
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RQtZFpcx4
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7fwbGrWaP
She is also smart, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwQDcBCQa2
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKCpo4HWzi
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmxMeJi8SJ
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXZ9PN7Ht6
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRlUOP5vmH
Sam has a lot of good 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xXHqWI1OI
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnkumBXr3o
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfqKLTLtTG
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQumU8GIEc4
want to hurt anyone around her.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbmcH8oXSh
Realising this made me 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHISLd9ass
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Qomrz4Ya
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyZcCuK5CY
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ja953LbgS
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyW27hhoyV
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX3Is9XMlB
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezPKYcXdP7
realise it till now.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIl1WhUUFx
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppKBxxjXy8
"Zoey, you aren't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Ha2oA4EH
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9XmJDcV92
second time you have made the same mistake."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxS2j8VjPQ
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rRRhJVAaF
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr9jk51JAq
It was lunch the time we1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpczZMyIw82
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kqgVZuzzz
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ikcg5ubUr
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvllhrRtyP
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOCRzpNZlv
they were all laughing.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP9yFGxYto
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJgv4TrUZf
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBGghUe5pQ
"Still not talking to Sam?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFE9tCvLiZ
"Nope."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUemUWxjjRq
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqweov8G0I1
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg2C81hGjE
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLP0NF1SkN
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAptuO6eqm
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgGFmsVnI3
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ8Brhx9Tf
"I know. But you aren't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0UoUNcbG9
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIpnCbWAJP
You would be chit chatting like you always do."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U5hEb9BkP
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlh9blDd3e
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP4suHLzcg
I frowned. "Why?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclQLz1qWJQ
"Because you look miserable."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydN4ghwtVi
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ri24uMqqv
"Miserable!"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT0CrZBCPa
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflRWzsoqLv
I thought for a moment 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuCaDrWCZg
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysQeNsbi8q
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdAHd5Z5QQ
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow0eUPQ7AF
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3FcWR50W7
Seeing all this in front1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrjdhBNS9M
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pJnbi2YNj
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA613egUVXQ
Until TOP came to talk to me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo2er8CvgT
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXMkY4n72O
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFQJe8vr8q
"I don't know," I said 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIdXxSrdoC
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMfEPx7ihb
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCl9lyUpST
I told TOP what happened in the morning and how it felt weird that Sam didn't say a word to me nor even looked at me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7KOguINnZ
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5BLjZmp6Q
"Then why don't you talk to her?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RyOMQpNnB
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T7PvCsACj
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0zkIf6LXh
"I know."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh1MIAXfTp
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LaFDTugo8
"I'll think about it."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8uTcEk9St
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjlz5F8KrP
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIpaGRURj1
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KtiwVtZ3S
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcHQHkl6Ag
The three of us went out1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cSbHGdBrN
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXIzf9Vrid
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TXDVIB5mb
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYbSbh8lBz
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZucZxnr0xr
"Chill, you just ordered1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbVX8uTc5N
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ji3pNl4IB
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwjtxH1xYY
"But I'm so hungry."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt1npt5jip
"Trust me, you aren't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9wr3P3y2M
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6dkuWTGqn
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSMrsMEG0z
have."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOhHS3VlIs
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJLtJQRRRq
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnP5Fh0z8B
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0WxRngVxD
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyb2G3vjx2
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLa2Esie9t
I didn't say anything as1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqIOfWRCUH
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtBQCqQBTZ
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIGp0jiEWx
calling.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR1n3lpTXo
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p2tyrCbW6
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BIbo8HKOj
"Okay, well you better answer that call."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4BSasiFBZ
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8homGLch5
"Hello," I answered.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsP2HpULyW
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWrKfOdfdR
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSnjgIHOwY
"We have to meet today, ASAP."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe5eTJKZw4
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3jTvgyIfY
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83o33X5Noj
I knew Jehan was going 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOIqIhp5Zl
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBOkFB2Sg6
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV5i37VwEd
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOqNdpm192
was upstairs in the dance studio.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlg4pbT0Mq
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMzVtjSkev
"I'm coming to YG to get it."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf1JqdZibQ
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k5HFKhRDF
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrumqKp0kUl
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHejNq5ltV0
He cut the call and I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPZ06Kqivs
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8E7NJWz5z
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQYE8lBLKm
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sRgOqmhtU
him they would start to ask questions.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMsh0l3lUL
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13mtEezGvI
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXTfDBEvVL
"What?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ipQ0WJOHp
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BKhwlfkKS
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRWccnRgyZ
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOjnAiS4lE
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV1tB8s53n
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hvp3T2oIy
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeBKe7cdxc
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryA0LPhbTv
Dang it! I was cornered 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jtOrqRTgd
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZg7KVOwft
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZZKrbUcQL
light no matter how much you try to hide it.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFLnIPWnRY
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi07sf9rFJ
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaaPLLfAta
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFDlJrzKdC
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB9upwE8e7
I told them everything 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6af431mVI
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlPB1RvnGo
said a word until I finished the whole story.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf3RuKrjSv
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Mf3TLJPE
"Just you two," I answered.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdvgEXk0JO
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkrKZ01Blj
"Surprising, right?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeKgnrjMF8
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ByEPHZ7Iq
"We should involve the police," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUw5f2QEjr
"No! We can't!"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoliWlHUTJ
"Why?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvguyWm7SD
"You know word goes out 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNIgmGJpVi
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLsRHaQyBQ
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2UQ3iqRKz
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bhGS29HiC
"He assured me that this1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs09VtFdqz
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Y7cLFAls
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg9KZ1mNZZ
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1qNGmJHRz
The three of us turned 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP39gziVxRk
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvwZRLXvox
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArgXTdeWEK
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fUgu62krx
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS1h48EbxT
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovFLaKmFsy
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztlsw6n6C0
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1vZB4UylV
"Random stuff involving a1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bh6SLZvYp
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7jswkL6xD
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88bDdoux9x
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJadsERwyhF
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHKbFcWnk3
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCV9UpSBf4
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZnfprzLQQ
"Okay, I won't."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGEKTAsbtA
"Sit down."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO58vRxHmV
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzdTtULjba
"I got myself into trouble," I started.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ss7IzEYn
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlb2QF2h0C
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9M7g5lmtC
Christine's face soon 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gSOCaXv3L
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnMc1zF6HA
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJp5RRRNlj
"What!"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpBVPqJdRe
TOP quickly covered up 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyubkeWiJro
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlZHnWBa7o
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IypDzuNfb
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NWPyQpefy
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrzx3lOPPT
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqXoAnHf8U
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWsW3Zvk0W
"Of course I'm mad!" 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCENQOWOfN6
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSOdZtqu0o
but this by far is the worst one of them all."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ3wHSdNHE
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzopyhzNDWc
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvZxme0J6J
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oUl0tX8kT
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7smVj6jzl
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaed6RYlHj
"WHAT!"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyeZGK6GXS
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo3bbM5xd5
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgPnrUPn7X
"And the one I met at the café," I said.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqUW3gW3gF
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn4jnyRcGM
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCErFLBENcZ
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTuB8wPZQE
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTacyBorj4
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZQRQCkjiT
"Ya," I said. "I planned1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RdsEFM8YT
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIbdWvaEID
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GcnAT67Yc
"So you're the one who 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvn8wRKUjf
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVM8Lyv4WO
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTmFkBJJ4K
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4AIAf7DGJ
out with Seungri."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpUwZRcngc
"I lied."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFpEWe8k0k
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXeQfDPiYz
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWIP0YzQeY
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnxr7Jm1UZ
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nBUSzQzOV
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXm1r7NEcx
"I know. Now he wants the teddy bear back today. And I don't know what to do. He wanted to come here and get the teddy himself."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW98QW0lBw
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8ul0qyO8A
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbeOnoVzzl
"Now where is she going to meet him now? She has to take that teddy bear away or else it could land us into more trouble."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP2pYejhaQ
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXWhZLsz5y
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq98Fxdx8Qh
"But where?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ai1nePsRG
"Tell him you will meet at the café. The one you had met him in last time. TOP and I will take you there," said Seungri.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83XvuBy7Pb
"I'm also coming with you," said Christine. "And don't refuse." She pointed her finger at me when I opened my mouth to object.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZViJ0xWiv
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO77d8rSMK
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNP1dNvmFd
I took my phone out and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSu9OwDrGI
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3CWncI60A
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJZsZy6zd6
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgJQUHcaOE
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs0mO6IYaN
Seungri had ordered ten 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZVmYrilUu
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjGLhbcieQ
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjQGItutm3
favourite.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rRK7pQNvo
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRSCyDBHaO
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpGeO7U7Yy
"I'll be ready for 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RvMuHYY2D
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDXdutZkdr
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXChR9rUqsO
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8zDC0TGvr
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnLxwEnjiJ
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Ie9VVWsv
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiUn4desfu
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdcqiDBjOB
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmO37HIQ6m
We found ourselves back 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdOXFVe3eF
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QRfWP7Cp2
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmnnc9mvsW
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zg0uxxWu0
paranoid?1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuisWCXlKAd
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUruiZvEXc
"What?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9tcIQBnL5
"You were frowning," Christine answered.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM4liTyRyZ
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQErQpv3YzH
"Says the person who 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcnoVzf7SP
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTL3UQjIyY
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNbxzgt7K8
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyT6m1VL9N
Soon after lunch, we 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbXVvm3wMR
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3UB32EZiy
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKCcKREonX
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz14Y1zyZWN
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEhaFRJV4w
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfBYBNtnQ0
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HLSpo6d4Z
At some point in the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKC9GbTnOR
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O42koy6Ct
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgbRaPbEnT
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrBup2689Z
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfX4PccTYP
back to practising until we could pratice no more.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQVDZ2j2tU
It was five and the sun 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkgDada6ai
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniQf0ya746
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtubs6Rjx8
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Hco2Lyt6
side of me. We were all pretty tired.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BtNwdhePT
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoTNgmFZtb
While I was resting and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESzIFQmboj
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6EJToY21v
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuwE6Mey4P
look on my face.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECEWdA2yhr
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0sy0qSV9X
"Go? Go where?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLaMAXVjov
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyRaVTMvwz
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1KKihiy4u
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CD8swcqkv
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHPnWLuFPN
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjLwrNGQq1
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3oNJYJpy1
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I0IxwHd4D
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvF7gCC27m
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURfLbJsJkh
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ5i6cqa5a
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvegkJTtDIu
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbsO2st0Bb
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaolnftziR
"Why don't you want 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVsMEYuhJ5
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRQp2QfmTJ
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz8Ro6IC7v
not to follow."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXrWCHwzUA
I wanted to protest and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdiuTuTktP
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKkYhcUNh4
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv9W4m6Cut
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O2iXuRCIj
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWKnReqTzc
Dang it!1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MmB7HOkpx
"Okay, you'll find me back at the hotel. I'll tell Collins that you had to go out," said Sam to the others, giving them a smile.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIutowZmA7d
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50SCycl594
"Thanks, that's nice of 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lnDBYbGpe
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbqDBo75k8
the others. "Have fun you, guys."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KY61XU6aN
Sam and Daesung left the1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNcms8WKZQ
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoisxiE64O
myself that the two also made a nice pair.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0BYhr53MQ
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOVyiM494x
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYvR5kNV9Z
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ4Fbs1gst
Christine stood up from 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNhVFTd7pu
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbj2KfSd6j
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUWfJMJ0ud
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlZPfz061U
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT1UM7hGrl
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ePIetlY1W
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BTadfM1mC
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMcJZS8pjU
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZXjRTP7am
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClrF9fX5LR
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA6GRbM9vl
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY546AHEamD
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoHXdZPwdn
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjTF87N3zX
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6pIRFjizm
"I know," said Christine.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu2gh6H2KE
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8f6WYBaWn
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnFgjWIr5L
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHCEMSvhRl
"So that she can judge me? No way."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3xCo2NzG9
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUgNWvtZF6
"Don't try to convince 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXflc8E4Am
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWMBTIS3QS
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyhqmNsdcn
like she could hit me with a hammer.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtNUBbACnU
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyMeq7d0NA
I got up from the floor 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHqo1W1CYb
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXts7ieYvhS
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQB51qVlDf
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzk7IC7v7h
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUhvp3PoI6
The cars soon left the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAifEnTXtVP
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV4ZGUWQ2u
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfRwmf9mg2
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFPtvDmegZ
"Can you you please stop1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8s4tXHP7d
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51LCgWG1Gj
the teddy and lose it in the car."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkA4kYZjza
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa1BZIhGj7
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFZZJdi7G1
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8JvZ6uDto
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs44qpD0qD
"I just want to get this over with."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPraHMVlnY
We were soon packed 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbF8qoR2fb
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeziVdmjiu
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexfAQEv9Ox
turned to look at her.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrbubn8rUL
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYCSE3UXwo
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVSerVuS80
Seungri also turned to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37S1c3q16Q
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I4C1CFCBe
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnYLqAFb0J
chest and I wished Sam was here too.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqCfYZSPmt
I soon got out of the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamWSamJYR4
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ZwtntYGl
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopRuxc138c
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PsyAaRKtN
Before I could find my 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG0chGpVeC
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYZQB4G8QW
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYXMg7ZWt6
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjbL1brzAd
I quickly went in the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp6MWQQHZY
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWHluQaon4
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5TvbmK0es
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBh3MevDoN
I slowly approached the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbflduUWHAU
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOurR2TxXD4
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrhCV0ygZi
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqRRfKA21a
hesitate to end my life right here.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE2POqLsGD
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pz0qMES8b
"I was practising today," I answered.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl7NSKXyYR
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVgM77sBzF
"Thanks," I frowned at 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEIwzlLGnw
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mAGHRMXvd
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBA0p6jBkf
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS8kmAW7d9
I quickly reached out 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1BHchLLOO
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CxlkJhaWB
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2CGuOBniT
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB5Dd3dkB5
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUTdRLJraQ
"What now?" I complained.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmruXoTEou
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYevWncDkr
"What do you think? That1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEpCS7CtmG
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUrq3lYvKR
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq6E6rv5ut
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNrWxJKCSc
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouVbwiOdpP
Jehan raised an eyebrow 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GKn9bkpYb
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO5kb2LJvQ
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfkdAL0o08
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6qHu8zrF7
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40luBm9fKe
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2dOB5byQg
I went back to looking 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljMGGDb9PO
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Sbz90IRp
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIv8Gk8m8Y
surprise me that he carried that thing around.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwmKa0jmhr
Jehan slowly laid the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN22r8yNT9Z
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC4olspxTt
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bzqBMaNok
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpVAcxhvAv
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTKgPU2Ktk
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ82xbG5utM
the teddy bear.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhgKTMG9HW
Wait. I frowned. This 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdDz6atPGw
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc3jKv2a9p
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtEcJ8lcxR
diamonds!1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm2b5LRHKD
I stared horrified at 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVbImplL2D
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvkQQQwmgv
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm7IgUosAx
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR5r982uR8
I looked up at Jehan and1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ4mtG9l48
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaNdFXVhtY
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0javeMe0gi
that, he was going to end up traumatised.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiMGrlPCWB
"Je-Jehan," I said 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gxv0huG1c
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctLBP8H4DY
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL8O71QPJx
there."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsvU4WBlc9
Jean neither moved nor 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEtapokeQ2
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeFnQl1mz4
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4j38Lrkzq
But how could this be? 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHatzJwftKn
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIN7wTNDZD
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXIgqUlhLH
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCTdkk9Ou2
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoUwdlEWHt
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukMz9g9TR6
He banged his fists on 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmC41Af9wQ
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fyAjMvapz
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAhpcJyx56
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHUYgt30IM
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYJua2dik8
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQi0IWetZL
"I don't know. I don't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkimM9nPdsc
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3fEb0yxXn
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIV9t0uzC4
"How did the diamonds go missing?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoFlY4n2Tj
"How am I supposed to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYKgf9hUmA
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqtjJib1H2
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27knThXyOj
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER4lVzhIBz
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZWZDvxH9u
Jehan rubbed his 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6KLEcnoRe
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRPlfwvyDy
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2zrkcq8VS
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVka6Hshcg
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgOIkN1EQd
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYUz5U9gg5
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIX4v8Ng4g
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU2agyiXiL
"I don't know."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLZwz3UBYd
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ313SMZzVIL
"Ummm," I looked down 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw3lk7z9BL
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArd8dwrunr
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP1rBr2NP6
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgLJukpsAd
"I didn't have the teddy bear with me at the hotel the whole time," I said, looking at him fully in the eyes now.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsecfDhJSBO
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6YryZ2CkY
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2SPjNzBoW
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6pQc1ZpJb
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhKs2yUmoo
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfajIoZN1W
"I don't think so. Lee 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IKQMwkqVX
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHPRHjlEHq
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgpLxXJsnK
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKekU2bbBoz
"You're right. But if she did find out about us and all this diamond business, she wouldn't keep that to herself. I know Lee."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaagEonXz8
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiceiTGMR9k
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK02YDRzZRV
After I said that, Jehan1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZieLrA26n
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZkUqgwiUa
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22QtIFgzoS
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaArNYdL8pz
look on his face.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF20aeGPpD
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NUrLPgBPG
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAwXAH3Ztc
"I remember one of my 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXufU8491Q
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThisr7dDj3
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvOmrXrxaI
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8IPZ4qe2u
"Don't snap your fingers and be all happy about this," said Jehan, back to giving me that angry look. "I need that teddy, now!"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgzLfBo3gy
"Huh? I can't start 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyCXJ2eX1p
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGfzIOmrsj
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKysARU1v6z
that the bear is missing."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5CktsUuPB
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVJR47QpbP
"What do you mean?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKMd6g2yTD
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEQn6DTVHX
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBItud0ewp
"Now that, makes no 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYhnZiK1UA
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVlVx8PgOk
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc8mIERh7T
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNoVj2vMbW
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEGAZEy9dZ
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8qvRKpKAs
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg30EWjk9Ol
I completely forgot that1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUDbu2UJLi
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzclYGIVHCd
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZuCxh2eYC
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2017Z6Wyw
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLSt8pDB9R
Jehan gave me a smile. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX4TI7LjHz
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3G59tc7Kp
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowCAmCuo0f
I nodded my head and 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUyVU7OZ7X
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfZCreLec5
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNXIHABqJs
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlIIsRhJsU
I sat there as I buried 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MUMy7DqbH
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNEI4XP4Pe
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWBggyizf1
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ274BLdQV4i
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40wYZG7AuJ
drama that might just ruin my life?1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXpwp5f4DR
I hadn't noticed the bell of the café ringing because I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I looked up, there stood Christine.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkp7BuXQfO
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCYJVweq4x
I could hear footsteps 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B0x1ytv8D
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6kiy17xk9
when they saw the look on my face.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSafHAghHk
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfwicYsoVR
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXeMETugjH
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iMm9C1GF8
"No," I answered. "He didn't."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjKLgCNrSw
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUWMeiidTB
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejJ1vcPKvn
Mike shook his head. "But who? We didn't know what that teddy bear had until now, so, it couldn't be anyone of us."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlKvoOZ2q9
"And what about Lee?" 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFpqkQlJh1
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dEcMIORyq
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDoxtDRFD1
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5XBJ6owNp
to."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbc44duNvV
"This is bad," I said, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIx3skRSIT
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0fYjthMyf
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa7u7LxQJy
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhqcU9Chrh
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSZ6TcNw96
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTXWOSxhuX
"Sam?" I wondered for a 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclMNMDs15i
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6lPKNLl0Q
she have swapped it with the other one?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYqLPM34BW
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSRKofD4U5
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ysH7CpJn8
what's really going on in the first place?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2r2vr3XCk
"I doubt it," I said 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XMoruwcgc
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfCJnQ0tRs
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmhNafvuJQ
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMA0fLqbSM
TOP and Seungri looked 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsJ4Eigx5d
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pmoLhZxbf
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb7zbLd3ME
it away.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtMzKG8pTj
"I highly doubt it too,"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTeeruSiTl
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAfQSdPxuY
she would have asked us about it."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr1rsg8Vxe
"That's true," said 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPytWCQTAZ
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rl0HylfBr
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cpuX2mjJp
"And I checked out the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOziidmd3c
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvZMnpeqaE
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM0BU2Ni3v
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vHGQuo64C
"No, I highly doubt it,"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAf5AdbIrP
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH98BV7dsCw
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tPXw74VB4
said nothing about them entering a toy store."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeERrryp6WZ
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O79jLi1zh
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qSYymQgzR
"Collins?" Mike asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqWRG1nisV
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARe1caUSFj
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5gjPFVRi0
"But who knows? Maybe he1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJxFp9IxwG
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9jg9990R3
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sYc5kPO9S
times."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ464ouS31
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvIgDoKnRk
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsgAPXYMjt
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JB51Nmrvn
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0V5Lb1AVv
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyADXMnVxOZ
"He was the one who went1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaafoidWwCa
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW97CtNvbWq
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH66ZFJtax
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWYYOttRLd
elevator."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeKcXF9Hft
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwLfrAEANO
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQf3zXMzgf
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkkHR10IfE
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBSwed3QyZ
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMxoxYjimz
"You're right," I said 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHVCNUuSRr
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeTfC4yWm2
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLniw3ISVYA
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ZNHzY40j
We all walked out of the1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbYpzG0bj4
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSfh5ibMgq
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmMl4OMe2q
While I was in the car 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR8oAJMk5c
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOLWs9Ivee
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfkKnMXZzs
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOygW1m5Ihn
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDpsQUK3Z6
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYUT8iJWYo
If it isn't him, then 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe61viX2i8L
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVNOh5FVwV
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa25Gj19HMB
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbdvNakvcJ
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKLJ1ugohs
What if I had the wrong 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamAAjhyPBd
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPgewmpFuu
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBEwmWo4SS
place without any of us noticing in the first place?1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14NKVgj1ic
I hope I could be able 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK1gWEb6Uo
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7InNF4mYu2
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQAfZCOkXb
happen.
