My watch said 10:31 and I hissed in frustration. I was getting really impatient and I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.

I had never been this late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.

"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.

I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.

"Sam!"

I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.

Zoey came out of the room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.

"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.

"No, I haven't," said Zoey.

"You've been searching for it all morning," I said as I stood up. "Can we please just go to the studio? We're already late."

"No, let me go and check again," Zoey turned around to head back to the room and I groaned so loudly to grab her attention.

"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."

"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"

"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."

"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.

I ignored her and said, "just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake. And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."

"What time is it?"

"10:35."

"Wow, time really passes by."

"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."

"Let me go get my phone."

Zoey rushed back to the room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway, that was Zoey.

I soon received a message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.

"Zoey, come on, we better go!"

"I'm coming."

I started heading towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown number. A number coming from another country.

"Oh, who is this?"

Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.

"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."

"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.

"Come on, we're already late."

We went into the elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.

When we got to YG, Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.

"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.

"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.

"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."

Zoey held her earlobes and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.

"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.

"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."

"Remind me whenever you're deciding who sings which part of a song to let me be there," said Collins as he turned to look at me.

"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.

We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.

"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.

"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.

"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.

"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.

"Then let's do so," said Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang, Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."

I had completely forgot that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.

"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.

"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.

"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared . "Let's go. You two can talk later."

I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.

In the live room, there stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.

Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.

"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.

I looked at the others to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music producer started to play the tune for the song.

G-Dragon started to sing and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing to let them sing the first verse together.

Collins, the music producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces. They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.

Christine then sang the bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.

When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.

"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."

"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."

I smiled at Taeyang who stood beside me and I nudged him on the shoulder. "Stop it, Tae," I said. "Don't make me blush."

"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.

"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.

"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.

"You may," said Collins, looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. You have to work on the backup vocals."

"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.

If I hadn't known better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little hollow inside.

"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.

We continued recording the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.

"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."

"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."

"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."

"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"

"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.

"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.

"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"

"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.

"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.

"But be back within an hour."

I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.

"Fine, an hour and a half."

I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.

"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.

"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.

"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"

"That, my friend," said Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."

"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.

"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.

"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.

"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.

"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.

"Whenever you want us to tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.

"Huh," I thought of all the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.

"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.

"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.

"Come on, Sam," said Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."

"That makes no sense." I shook my head.

"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."

"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.

"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.

"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.

Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.

"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"

We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.

"They aren't here," I said.

"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.

"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.

"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.

"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."

I nodded my head and we all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded myself to leave a text message for Zoey.

We were in the lobby and I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this morning.

I first sent Zoey a text message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.

"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.

"Okay, shall we go?"

"Ya, sure." I put the phone back in my pocket and I wrapped my arm around his elbow and we walked out of the building.

"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.

"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.

"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.

"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.

Instead of using any one of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of attention, especially from the customers.

I had to admit, the restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.

A smartly dressed waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?

We were escorted to a round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.

TOP pulled a chair for me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat beside her.

"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.

"Tell me about it," said Christine.

"I knew you would like it," said TOP.

"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.

"So, let's order," said Daesung.

I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.

After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.

As we were having our dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were having fun wherever they were.

While I was having my strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same unknown number had sent me a message again.

I tapped on the message icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then the next message was more surprising.

"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"

Anything about what was the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.

I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.

"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.

"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.

"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."

"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.

"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.

"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.

"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.

"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."

"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."

"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.

"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."

I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.

"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.

"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.

"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.

"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."

"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."

"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.

"Can we please stop talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."

"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.

"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"

"No, let me," said Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to allow her to say what she wanted to say.

I shook my head at Christine and she leaned back on her seat with a groan. Daniel smiled when I nodded my head to let him go on.

"Because, Collins gave these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. Never."

There was silence on the table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.

"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.

"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.

"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.

"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.

"It's serious to Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have babies."

That was odd coming out of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my laps.

"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.

"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.

I really did. Something had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.

"Excuse me, I'll need to use the rest room," I said as I drew back my chair, stood up and headed straight for the ladies' room.

I quickly closed the door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.

"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.

I shook my head and I knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really supposed to care. But I did.

I looked at myself and I could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these things and focus on what's really important.

I quickly took a deep breath to try and pull myself together. I rinsed my hands, left the room and went back to our table.

"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.

"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."

"We think we know why you did," said Christine.

I gulped. What had these guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.

"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.

That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.

"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.

"And I have been a good girl on my part," said Christine making an invisible drawing of a halo above her head with her finger.

While Christine was one who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was worse.

"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.

"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.

"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.

"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.

"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."

I blushed. "Mike!"

"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.

"I've tried kissing her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"

"Uhh, if I were you, I wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up regretting it."

"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."

I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.

"Fine, I'll listen to you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I blushed.

"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.

He was right. We only had a few minutes to get to YG. And Collins was one person who's strict when it comes to time.

After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.

We got to YG just in time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.

When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.

"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.

"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.

I couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?" I asked him with my eyebrow raised.

"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?

"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.

"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."

I felt something inside me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.

"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.

"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.

"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."

"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.

"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.

"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.

"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."

"Then?" TOP asked.

"I don't know, I went over to get some ice cream for the both of us, and the next thing I know she was gone."

"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"

"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."

"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know
