Meeting WINNER the 782Please respect copyright.PENANAtR1dQcQnje
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 782Please respect copyright.PENANApsNdEi5VgV
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 782Please respect copyright.PENANAPBofJ3ioDv
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 782Please respect copyright.PENANA4tTZ2PQoSG
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 782Please respect copyright.PENANAqV4LpCkrst
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.782Please respect copyright.PENANAAQbqRhH3ou
With the little time we 782Please respect copyright.PENANAQjCdFhRElG
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again782Please respect copyright.PENANAPCXamYPw44
as we all got to know each other.782Please respect copyright.PENANAuEr2mw68wY
Seungyoon, the leader 782Please respect copyright.PENANAnHtpYoxFKh
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 782Please respect copyright.PENANASTy2aSpaO0
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a782Please respect copyright.PENANATL26J8HWwM
fun and nice person to be around with.782Please respect copyright.PENANALE5e95nX7I
Then there is Mino, who 782Please respect copyright.PENANApJoUl1q73e
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for782Please respect copyright.PENANA8pei39QJAz
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 782Please respect copyright.PENANAhMb2W4tGHj
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.782Please respect copyright.PENANAQwWwSP0yZS
As for Jinwoo and 782Please respect copyright.PENANAPxe2XVn6Ck
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.782Please respect copyright.PENANA4rXn3K1Wz8
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 782Please respect copyright.PENANAilpPagSLSB
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 782Please respect copyright.PENANALy7kzYLg4u
in Korea.782Please respect copyright.PENANAlyjOJnOFmH
As for Seunghoon, I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAXPYEB90gd7
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking782Please respect copyright.PENANAqzXvL0feCY
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 782Please respect copyright.PENANAY2lpkAMxzZ
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.782Please respect copyright.PENANALYXLismAH7
Before they left, we 782Please respect copyright.PENANAV1lMGV5WbD
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 782Please respect copyright.PENANA3hfTatljXx
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 782Please respect copyright.PENANAt4Fj99ahyI
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 782Please respect copyright.PENANAkyMzVdSHuG
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done782Please respect copyright.PENANAXmjQW0Po1O
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 782Please respect copyright.PENANAOXbgvUn8Ed
place?782Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kb3jrqhLI
I already had that part 782Please respect copyright.PENANAHxTIJeVtVb
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 782Please respect copyright.PENANAaCxIugris9
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 782Please respect copyright.PENANAZdVBEq5O41
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 782Please respect copyright.PENANADrsIckFL1H
wouldn't have to break a sweat.782Please respect copyright.PENANAUDcwKbTGCN
Right now, this very 782Please respect copyright.PENANAA7PFjzTqrm
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 782Please respect copyright.PENANAOVBQ3We3tB
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 782Please respect copyright.PENANAVAKeoiUJSq
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee782Please respect copyright.PENANALqcDt97QlG
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 782Please respect copyright.PENANA9LGnCuS9LC
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 782Please respect copyright.PENANAM4Qc6QFjpW
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.782Please respect copyright.PENANAy6u3jOHk6x
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.782Please respect copyright.PENANAqRqzoAW63q
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAOggBPZhC53
"I'm tired of sleeping,"782Please respect copyright.PENANAmj7cfaqJVd
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 782Please respect copyright.PENANAlucSKS6PSU
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 782Please respect copyright.PENANAhsKDQLfB4w
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.782Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wjdoybkvm
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.782Please respect copyright.PENANAbVmC2nQfWC
"Ya, I guess," I replied as I leaned back on my chair and rubbed my eyes. "I was thinking we get back to the old routine."782Please respect copyright.PENANAeNMdjDOlmy
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.782Please respect copyright.PENANAThA1GOujgx
"You know, going for 782Please respect copyright.PENANAIWahiLHpse
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAcvRC850OjE
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 782Please respect copyright.PENANAQGE6XJgkts
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 782Please respect copyright.PENANAlVeSecuYJe
we try to do what we're familiar with."782Please respect copyright.PENANAuwbqGbq4rS
"Mmmm, I guess you're 782Please respect copyright.PENANAxTQaCHZA7s
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 782Please respect copyright.PENANAdCJK6EKADq
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 782Please respect copyright.PENANAp0GqB0Qmkd
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."782Please respect copyright.PENANAyQvJhx5Em2
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.782Please respect copyright.PENANAC4cLCNFcBX
"Yep," Collins nodded 782Please respect copyright.PENANASr6qOsXRwy
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 782Please respect copyright.PENANAHfoc8h2jqr
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 782Please respect copyright.PENANAX1op3ruYUb
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 782Please respect copyright.PENANAZYLuyGuILp
good now, will it?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAqNPjDJz0yV
Wow. This was literally 782Please respect copyright.PENANA4ToOvP21Jf
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 782Please respect copyright.PENANAO1kjpfXjoQ
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.782Please respect copyright.PENANAHX01zhRhcC
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.782Please respect copyright.PENANASDS1wWphu4
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.782Please respect copyright.PENANAUrjnvgENe4
I left the lounge at a 782Please respect copyright.PENANAYYxmCmfDsy
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 782Please respect copyright.PENANAZug6iaJA2H
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door782Please respect copyright.PENANAXu8DwW8gIg
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.782Please respect copyright.PENANAuKjGoB0TCe
Zoey sat up with a start782Please respect copyright.PENANAOJzkFluaiX
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 782Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5YQyZUMMD
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.782Please respect copyright.PENANAUiX1eYBXU4
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAeX6v1YAfAz
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.782Please respect copyright.PENANAh0cLqytnxI
At first she didn't say a782Please respect copyright.PENANAH8wM9imosX
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 782Please respect copyright.PENANAjOH0tPFlI7
looking at me with her eyes wide open.782Please respect copyright.PENANA8QfJrQJgBt
"What did you say?" she asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANA8TBOFrkZ4T
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.782Please respect copyright.PENANAuKW2vuoYsf
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAKvDl5bDVRI
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."782Please respect copyright.PENANAeJyAnBkUUv
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"782Please respect copyright.PENANArg4MYIcQde
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."782Please respect copyright.PENANA7lbvs3giVQ
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."782Please respect copyright.PENANA4HUAvcEifl
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.782Please respect copyright.PENANAYB9dvQ63jt
I went to wake up 782Please respect copyright.PENANAknuM80O8Ai
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I782Please respect copyright.PENANAKX63JiLvWK
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.782Please respect copyright.PENANA4FdECe7lyd
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"782Please respect copyright.PENANA10QXPzVjlC
"I gave a reasonable 782Please respect copyright.PENANABTBj8dHUK4
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 782Please respect copyright.PENANAXytIzFVgCy
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAhMvJZ0OAHz
I noticed Christine 782Please respect copyright.PENANAKAO1QwwQ0v
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly782Please respect copyright.PENANAeK8aXHn2Nc
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 782Please respect copyright.PENANAmNft5xN8J7
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 782Please respect copyright.PENANApXfxppBwXH
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.782Please respect copyright.PENANAkGPpJ0CsM8
When we all had our bags782Please respect copyright.PENANAnlIhTI4eNO
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 782Please respect copyright.PENANA5uVrLKITiS
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 782Please respect copyright.PENANAmMsz7gsN87
looked at us.782Please respect copyright.PENANALd6MGTVA5r
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.782Please respect copyright.PENANA4qzkNv8VpE
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."782Please respect copyright.PENANA1rcPMI2pLL
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.782Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wstb5gywq
"I hate when you use my 782Please respect copyright.PENANAkZpElQAOQR
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 782Please respect copyright.PENANA9y1sEcTsM0
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."782Please respect copyright.PENANAGdlFHHlsmu
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."782Please respect copyright.PENANA3x1nFmMyXu
Collins rolled his eyes 782Please respect copyright.PENANAIVVlX6XduP
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 782Please respect copyright.PENANAUpx15o8ref
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."782Please respect copyright.PENANAw6zbSFcwfw
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAWD93JZ5f3l
"I would really love to,782Please respect copyright.PENANANiM9FYf7Gb
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass782Please respect copyright.PENANAIogLFabb75
by at lunchtime to check on you."782Please respect copyright.PENANAyYNvDLaX40
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.782Please respect copyright.PENANAJh8Py8Eigc
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.782Please respect copyright.PENANAgBw7WdJJH8
"Nothing," said Christine.782Please respect copyright.PENANAeoTn5G5W5E
I noticed Mike give 782Please respect copyright.PENANACvhVPpu09L
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut782Please respect copyright.PENANAVQCP2GxeYO
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 782Please respect copyright.PENANAOLFFcrdCKO
going on.782Please respect copyright.PENANAE0QVJNDuUx
"It's just about the 782Please respect copyright.PENANABJAAfAcKNj
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 782Please respect copyright.PENANA0rNmVeVXZR
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 782Please respect copyright.PENANAAhJqDfv6xS
happened."782Please respect copyright.PENANAP4hZ4GmNVU
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."782Please respect copyright.PENANAKGda7fw1O9
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."782Please respect copyright.PENANAZU11f7YuZi
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.782Please respect copyright.PENANAp4dUXZS7vY
When we arrived at YG, 782Please respect copyright.PENANA2Lu3tJXHQE
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 782Please respect copyright.PENANAnGrnt1bUB1
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.782Please respect copyright.PENANACJuNPa3MjY
"I already informed the 782Please respect copyright.PENANADKQzQd5vhY
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 782Please respect copyright.PENANATUeOwJgSSb
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"782Please respect copyright.PENANA7IfuLO4O9m
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."782Please respect copyright.PENANAiBBnxDrcnQ
"I know you will. See you later."782Please respect copyright.PENANAnCLp7Xy3AL
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.782Please respect copyright.PENANA7wz5H0aB7B
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.782Please respect copyright.PENANAVISr7R9FZ7
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.782Please respect copyright.PENANA7NJfUo4Ihc
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.782Please respect copyright.PENANAMvgcWOvHvE
"Careful, Zoey," I said 782Please respect copyright.PENANAdliJ9o1gNa
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 782Please respect copyright.PENANAf8xWEvxu1P
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."782Please respect copyright.PENANAsdGNDf7VLb
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.782Please respect copyright.PENANAM7VTQHCUJa
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANApF5Zxr6Zfv
"I did that when we were in the car," I said when Zoey had finally let go of my neck and we had reached the elevator.782Please respect copyright.PENANA7VU2TxHBDT
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.782Please respect copyright.PENANABYDgpif8dM
"No," I said as the 782Please respect copyright.PENANAmg7CJI3p55
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 782Please respect copyright.PENANA17xg2mjRBc
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 782Please respect copyright.PENANAJ98jRM65ME
studios.782Please respect copyright.PENANAUF8rd8PJMy
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.782Please respect copyright.PENANA8xZFJayjLq
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."782Please respect copyright.PENANAwSDMyKQT3A
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."782Please respect copyright.PENANAw1tE43C9Sq
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.782Please respect copyright.PENANAtHmHAVMzqa
"That's different."782Please respect copyright.PENANAYy9WjLbEar
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."782Please respect copyright.PENANA1NfTOv1kcN
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAk0L8fQvYfg
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."782Please respect copyright.PENANAGiLoYUXYAh
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.782Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ8NVJz36D
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.782Please respect copyright.PENANADGySPW1KAN
It was so much fun 782Please respect copyright.PENANAL08uNBZros
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 782Please respect copyright.PENANASsVEu9qBkk
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 782Please respect copyright.PENANAMwZAdugGBB
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.782Please respect copyright.PENANAYIUtWCRJGy
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.782Please respect copyright.PENANAaXdjhbFhc0
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.782Please respect copyright.PENANAKv5r5H6Aqm
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."782Please respect copyright.PENANAKYPkrfBLGx
"I'm so glad I told Collins that we should do this again. You've become so lazy. Stand up. Let's go for another round."782Please respect copyright.PENANAMOD0hpoL4i
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"782Please respect copyright.PENANARja3RUVUnb
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.782Please respect copyright.PENANAELIujlfcyK
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.782Please respect copyright.PENANAmTVgwtgtIa
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."782Please respect copyright.PENANA99FAvPTjEp
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."782Please respect copyright.PENANAVdBp8wo0Me
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."782Please respect copyright.PENANAu94RNyfozj
"Come on, Zoey," I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAdsDsIfitUe
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 782Please respect copyright.PENANAVac9kd4SUV
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."782Please respect copyright.PENANALwyx1w8KMb
"What song?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAGuQtLQgHUM
I didn't answer when I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAipz41sYP3B
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 782Please respect copyright.PENANABFQ83f9xfv
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 782Please respect copyright.PENANA2ksWwxIYt2
pill soon started to play.782Please respect copyright.PENANAroo8kPo3Hi
I turned around and I found Zoey already up from the floor and looking at me. I smiled. I knew she would get up to this song.782Please respect copyright.PENANAzI6wsnOlCp
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.782Please respect copyright.PENANAcZM2RXnIGG
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.782Please respect copyright.PENANASt5LYrh3od
When the lyrics were sang out, Zoey started to dance and I watched her, then it was my turn to step in and dance too.782Please respect copyright.PENANAoJikAp7ekn
It's been a while since I782Please respect copyright.PENANALGVaz1YYK6
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 782Please respect copyright.PENANAMFVnMBJvS6
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 782Please respect copyright.PENANAloxn1siizO
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.782Please respect copyright.PENANAF3qLkibM73
At the end of it, the 782Please respect copyright.PENANAVK2wRFxmjv
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 782Please respect copyright.PENANAlqVmyevfvg
our moves synchronising with one another.782Please respect copyright.PENANALNdwEPrg9L
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.782Please respect copyright.PENANACg68cKKlQw
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."782Please respect copyright.PENANAe3aFdThgQW
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.782Please respect copyright.PENANAyrl3z4A6te
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.782Please respect copyright.PENANAC1ClgX2iXd
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAgZbJkjiHuW
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."782Please respect copyright.PENANAo9Wn6R6dhQ
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."782Please respect copyright.PENANAFPXBUaKmtr
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.782Please respect copyright.PENANAENYIIpjojT
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.782Please respect copyright.PENANALBVlrMaBxU
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANALBtAWmvWSd
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.782Please respect copyright.PENANAv0cLwfEwCw
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"782Please respect copyright.PENANA8L4LaQGzzk
Mino and Seunghoon both 782Please respect copyright.PENANAbeh996aHLp
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 782Please respect copyright.PENANAxq8w7uXWZv
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.782Please respect copyright.PENANAB2rP2lqz1L
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.782Please respect copyright.PENANA7oPgR9oOhR
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.782Please respect copyright.PENANAbg3ZV4ov6F
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."782Please respect copyright.PENANArY5f2C8eJJ
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.782Please respect copyright.PENANAJrweXFtBXP
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAwTFSqPesBd
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 782Please respect copyright.PENANAi7U02KCPqN
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."782Please respect copyright.PENANAal3vtvE4qV
I shook my head at Zoey and said nothing. She could be so persistent at times and right now, I couldn't do anything to stop her.782Please respect copyright.PENANAxjQ8I5Mtdl
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.782Please respect copyright.PENANAgUksv1QxnD
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANA28LKp3g4bp
I nudged my head to the 782Please respect copyright.PENANArGxDoraetn
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 782Please respect copyright.PENANAbgPcpoiS0s
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the782Please respect copyright.PENANAGiveG4oIas
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.782Please respect copyright.PENANAml2XF6WL9z
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.782Please respect copyright.PENANAWWVNGB2L5M
Seunghoon lips were 782Please respect copyright.PENANAkNvjAxdEQi
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was782Please respect copyright.PENANAc5IjyRY1o1
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose782Please respect copyright.PENANAxB2QS0DYy5
focus.782Please respect copyright.PENANAsvqCJudPgL
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.782Please respect copyright.PENANA1dGEyIYsqC
"The others might, but I782Please respect copyright.PENANAjC89LvbFu0
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going782Please respect copyright.PENANA5kxQcsy5UN
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 782Please respect copyright.PENANAUWek3RGIcb
when TOP came to pick me up?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAvgSalEycr4
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."782Please respect copyright.PENANAEaQK7FW6r1
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAagy7bLNuLl
He again took a step closer. "Yes."782Please respect copyright.PENANAt6gsQP3MOG
Well, that made sense 782Please respect copyright.PENANA42JGkfhfo9
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 782Please respect copyright.PENANAACTZoR4FrD
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 782Please respect copyright.PENANALsZ6HdrwXb
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 782Please respect copyright.PENANAZs5P9Kh2Sp
seen.782Please respect copyright.PENANAmYWFsjvAjC
I hadn't realised it 782Please respect copyright.PENANAwKyRP4mtql
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking782Please respect copyright.PENANAMnqTR0gDrc
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 782Please respect copyright.PENANAASDCo5c4L0
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 782Please respect copyright.PENANAGPoPVoSeFE
uncomfortable.782Please respect copyright.PENANAwW19oeV58w
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.782Please respect copyright.PENANAdiRol7yUIh
"Well, yes," he 782Please respect copyright.PENANAPztcXKyYg1
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 782Please respect copyright.PENANA3QqprzOoWH
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."782Please respect copyright.PENANAMPjDzcgBWx
"If you're such a fan why didn't you stalk the others as well?" I asked as I looked at him. "I'm not the only Toxin."782Please respect copyright.PENANAFSXC8l7fG0
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.782Please respect copyright.PENANACAxvIzG6Hp
I blushed and I was a 782Please respect copyright.PENANAO2YOcaA5wi
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 782Please respect copyright.PENANAesYdW8WmpD
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 782Please respect copyright.PENANANc8UZqjPca
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 782Please respect copyright.PENANAZF7CRS1VFW
celebrities.782Please respect copyright.PENANAmGHugUTcTx
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAg7X7OVuADJ
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.782Please respect copyright.PENANAsiOd51daFU
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."782Please respect copyright.PENANAejzNDKFC9W
"No, they don't," I lied782Please respect copyright.PENANAfVax9biGBd
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 782Please respect copyright.PENANARyyiGxkBLl
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 782Please respect copyright.PENANAvtDTGqAIcU
others had arrived.782Please respect copyright.PENANAH0SYRHsVlQ
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.782Please respect copyright.PENANA6dnXggTfca
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.782Please respect copyright.PENANA67K4p11yFa
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.782Please respect copyright.PENANAI2cHOnZqHb
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"782Please respect copyright.PENANA9AYCgSDw77
"Awesome," I replied.782Please respect copyright.PENANApLqwwTPi29
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.782Please respect copyright.PENANAl0Wz81UuUw
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.782Please respect copyright.PENANAEqhDGdGr4J
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.782Please respect copyright.PENANAu6wlQv2Rsn
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.782Please respect copyright.PENANAHrRvlTNsfg
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.782Please respect copyright.PENANAMo51u8zRRe
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.782Please respect copyright.PENANAZTatr5kmNp
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."782Please respect copyright.PENANA4A2mHzpVUW
"And besides, you and I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAzhXhtgn2JE
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 782Please respect copyright.PENANAR7w8Qy7RQB
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 782Please respect copyright.PENANAETXFY0D3N5
and Seunghoon showed up."782Please respect copyright.PENANAsKJWHNgkoD
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.782Please respect copyright.PENANASxTfwr4Pk0
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.782Please respect copyright.PENANAar8dWOqEew
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."782Please respect copyright.PENANA3t8FEegpez
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.782Please respect copyright.PENANA1lxUDvd5fB
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.782Please respect copyright.PENANAot1aj7kxAE
Apparently, he wasn't 782Please respect copyright.PENANACjpTckhpbu
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all782Please respect copyright.PENANAFRSb06vokz
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that782Please respect copyright.PENANA701bAE4zaY
just made him look even more adorable.782Please respect copyright.PENANAunIh7oovy3
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.782Please respect copyright.PENANApH7mhrqQVW
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."782Please respect copyright.PENANArNsDBw4I9D
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.782Please respect copyright.PENANAOVpbmcwtoG
"Yes!" I heard the four 782Please respect copyright.PENANADMpeDJ2xhh
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 782Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4iG6f48rx
at the track list. Then, something came to me.782Please respect copyright.PENANAzBX3bFs3w3
"Change of plans, Zoey,"782Please respect copyright.PENANAMovcw8u7fP
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want782Please respect copyright.PENANAoHvJtfPa6D
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."782Please respect copyright.PENANA2wFEyfvTuG
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."782Please respect copyright.PENANA86L70XX8kH
"Since we danced to one of your favourite songs, I'll pick my own." I gave her a smirk. "And it's a k-pop song."782Please respect copyright.PENANAQwrgTFfxJt
"This just got interesting," said Mino.782Please respect copyright.PENANAJPhGrSzO4R
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAWbAUG2FPpI
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."782Please respect copyright.PENANAUBfTH2pYmw
"Taeyang is going to 782Please respect copyright.PENANA8MZMMe98UA
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 782Please respect copyright.PENANAKH3v1pfJy2
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."782Please respect copyright.PENANA6jr8vpASHX
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."782Please respect copyright.PENANA9SggjzJ1WB
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.782Please respect copyright.PENANAkOYrxSJyHi
I tapped the track on my782Please respect copyright.PENANANIZjkm5c0b
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 782Please respect copyright.PENANAQrkHt81AHU
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.782Please respect copyright.PENANAfYmUw6Q54X
When the song started, I782Please respect copyright.PENANAGPbCrxnAW0
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 782Please respect copyright.PENANAYkMdaEa4rO
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 782Please respect copyright.PENANAQvYBl2XzAp
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAmqI8jpcqJF
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to782Please respect copyright.PENANAM7tHDjTawL
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 782Please respect copyright.PENANACTse8xhCXL
doing a pretty good with the moves too.782Please respect copyright.PENANAEMbZEsHhkQ
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.782Please respect copyright.PENANARCnbbXbKRH
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.782Please respect copyright.PENANAy7sE3BQaIG
"Whenever it came to the782Please respect copyright.PENANAex5rNYp0mA
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 782Please respect copyright.PENANAg0D4PfT5WL
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."782Please respect copyright.PENANAVCg8nynGp8
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."782Please respect copyright.PENANAss1PbPbCbL
"Thanks, guys," I said.782Please respect copyright.PENANAWNPdMaAATX
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.782Please respect copyright.PENANA1TAaKR8Ecz
"Now, coming to my 782Please respect copyright.PENANAFO7lSq4uaf
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 782Please respect copyright.PENANAvRSiS5fssA
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 782Please respect copyright.PENANAZCn4gE07Ro
think is a better dancer?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAiL18cdnFjm
"Wait," I said before anyone could say anything. I put the bottle of water to my lips and drank some water. "Don't answer that."782Please respect copyright.PENANAJcoLn9AMoa
"Why?" Zoey asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAn34Av060jv
"I think you and I both 782Please respect copyright.PENANAKThdw702Hw
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 782Please respect copyright.PENANABOSfGfQGX6
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 782Please respect copyright.PENANA6wNIdsbkJd
That counts for something, right?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAhrzA0eql33
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."782Please respect copyright.PENANAhcfOsDVWep
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."782Please respect copyright.PENANAfm7Tlp9nPh
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.782Please respect copyright.PENANA285Nhlocl1
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"782Please respect copyright.PENANACRw7ZLjebT
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3EFO2B6RH
"Well, ya." Mike 782Please respect copyright.PENANA7dZNBhoP3F
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 782Please respect copyright.PENANAnGYbdmQbqz
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 782Please respect copyright.PENANA44GfC4Ks5G
sentence as he looked at Zoey.782Please respect copyright.PENANAjAuJMwnzJn
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."782Please respect copyright.PENANAbYjZEnBnwU
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.782Please respect copyright.PENANAwWZjMg1UWs
"I also think it will be782Please respect copyright.PENANATd8KShdz0V
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 782Please respect copyright.PENANAMWZKHa64lP
obviously bring out a better opinion."782Please respect copyright.PENANAUzZgnXcsg5
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.782Please respect copyright.PENANA3XYrhAbfYh
"Count me out of it," I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAGs5kn6LRSO
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAVBRFBbsnDZ
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."782Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ztgp8Bcd4
"Fine, I'll create a 782Please respect copyright.PENANAQTpcB4ePTY
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how782Please respect copyright.PENANAoFrVecnAjz
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though782Please respect copyright.PENANAWH8hxv7hoD
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."782Please respect copyright.PENANAbaikiM2kty
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."782Please respect copyright.PENANApkR93tetRa
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."782Please respect copyright.PENANAjonG2tVkJ4
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.782Please respect copyright.PENANAKb23Q2Zh06
Zoey and Mike soon got 782Please respect copyright.PENANAfGgnWsVsRd
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 782Please respect copyright.PENANAu0NoAZuHyT
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 782Please respect copyright.PENANAjDvsngqtlW
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance782Please respect copyright.PENANAOUnAadlyOY
battle.782Please respect copyright.PENANAXhorTmDkZd
I got my phone and the 782Please respect copyright.PENANAeCQ50tGGXm
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAxYQ0WYU1oV
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.782Please respect copyright.PENANAiXxIcXEgGW
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.782Please respect copyright.PENANAwPCGCwbOBy
I turned to look at him 782Please respect copyright.PENANATHTNclDLFf
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 782Please respect copyright.PENANA6RzO5T8t85
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 782Please respect copyright.PENANAAEqJX0VzIO
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 782Please respect copyright.PENANAVoZZqO6bKc
smile if they were to look at him.782Please respect copyright.PENANATBaYeS4KT9
"No," I replied, still with a smile on my face. "I don't want to know what the fans think and I'm clearly not in a mood."782Please respect copyright.PENANAgFJh6u7rOZ
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.782Please respect copyright.PENANAIcROqVgXwV
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."782Please respect copyright.PENANApuE4qWDAcQ
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."782Please respect copyright.PENANAt5uOplpeIY
"You're right about that."782Please respect copyright.PENANADXD5cCDUqB
I looked behind me with a782Please respect copyright.PENANANbS2lyXp4M
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 782Please respect copyright.PENANA1RGH1vXG1Y
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 782Please respect copyright.PENANACjBx3qW79F
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 782Please respect copyright.PENANA8Up8ZmtYQy
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.782Please respect copyright.PENANARVAst2cKyP
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 782Please respect copyright.PENANAsLtyOkL4Wb
"Not anytime soon," I said as I looked at him. "What are we planning to do today, anyway? We all can't stay here at YG."782Please respect copyright.PENANAAEd4cX3C8K
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAhiNtA7BN50
"No, not yet actually." I stared at my phone to look at the time. "It's almost ten. Collins expects us to be here till lunch."782Please respect copyright.PENANAmV0RFYjIo3
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."782Please respect copyright.PENANAh1NR4j4AS1
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."782Please respect copyright.PENANA3m2EAXeuSW
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.782Please respect copyright.PENANASNQpPsK097
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.782Please respect copyright.PENANAXuxqIBN5nE
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANABPeQR6TSac
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."782Please respect copyright.PENANAjQiJdYJS9T
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANATg8qE5gcGx
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."782Please respect copyright.PENANAvFEg4DC43X
"I sure hope so," I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAJ44B2W8uXV
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 782Please respect copyright.PENANAbM2QQZsWJi
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."782Please respect copyright.PENANAWtwt7M8rnz
"What about those two?" 782Please respect copyright.PENANAWcPVna557t
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 782Please respect copyright.PENANA7ea5yqANko
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 782Please respect copyright.PENANAYx4lQnOHZW
soon.782Please respect copyright.PENANA2S5hlT5mVu
"They will notice when 782Please respect copyright.PENANAnRSSezsdbo
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 782Please respect copyright.PENANAkVm7SJ4RTn
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAj0D1FjX0lg
"Sure," he said with a smile.782Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z8FQCybKq
Christine, Daniel and I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAfD5HzGSJxo
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 782Please respect copyright.PENANAbMaeGkpnOI
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.782Please respect copyright.PENANALBxYjSbVgy
Twenty minutes later, I 782Please respect copyright.PENANA6SEJY63EXp
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 782Please respect copyright.PENANAG9pH3jHFZX
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 782Please respect copyright.PENANATrdtOKJViQ
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 782Please respect copyright.PENANAvzo1hAtpca
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 782Please respect copyright.PENANA2JiUQkb59n
in the shower room, still patching herself up.782Please respect copyright.PENANAeq5Lk2aZgs
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.782Please respect copyright.PENANAKe0y4y0B9g
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."782Please respect copyright.PENANApQrxW4hUFD
"Why? Anything special?"782Please respect copyright.PENANA1Xx8RFvOz0
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.782Please respect copyright.PENANAyXFZ3fZOQF
"Oh, nothing," I stared 782Please respect copyright.PENANA7YlKzsG0km
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 782Please respect copyright.PENANA573G3K6NvS
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 782Please respect copyright.PENANA4pxxxOwMl5
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."782Please respect copyright.PENANAmeg074JNon
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.782Please respect copyright.PENANA7p4Ur2BaqX
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.782Please respect copyright.PENANAgNaSzRH2kJ
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.782Please respect copyright.PENANANdXTLLbMEy
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.782Please respect copyright.PENANAHXLaiR5iy7
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."782Please respect copyright.PENANAeGJe4Pay0J
"What are you talking about?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAO4rT28kUey
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"782Please respect copyright.PENANARaFOmEFzwz
Christine's mouth fell 782Please respect copyright.PENANAvx6vFVDzkm
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 782Please respect copyright.PENANAI10w2VzojW
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.782Please respect copyright.PENANA5YDLiMS28C
"No, I don't," she said.782Please respect copyright.PENANAI4Av1oK5YA
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 782Please respect copyright.PENANA9JOdzJzANQ
do like him but only as a fan girl."782Please respect copyright.PENANAAqK1wr5OGV
"Please, I saw the way 782Please respect copyright.PENANAFeAHvvi8YM
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that782Please respect copyright.PENANAvKY8Vko3N6
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."782Please respect copyright.PENANAcznk9Pw2Nw
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 782Please respect copyright.PENANA45M5amki5B
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of782Please respect copyright.PENANAPwrFclVdoT
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 782Please respect copyright.PENANAxfANWbB8OJ
more."782Please respect copyright.PENANAbLIAZJqzH6
"Ya, right," I said as I782Please respect copyright.PENANAspf5j6ox8I
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 782Please respect copyright.PENANAA7cNeJII8J
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 782Please respect copyright.PENANA0wr5FwUrpY
weird look on your face."782Please respect copyright.PENANAdFbo2RWgnB
"What weird look?"782Please respect copyright.PENANATnMq7tnSp6
"The jealous one."782Please respect copyright.PENANA0W8CMsU4oy
"Spare me the drama, Sam."782Please respect copyright.PENANA1HzbHBefAg
"If Zoey was the one 782Please respect copyright.PENANAj52ETNzecb
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 782Please respect copyright.PENANAvETny6qDkA
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 782Please respect copyright.PENANAlya7oEPBfV
Jinwoo."782Please respect copyright.PENANAV5PblcUt9x
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.782Please respect copyright.PENANAm23Do3roMB
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAYITYpFOzCB
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."782Please respect copyright.PENANA7VZYJRhE47
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.782Please respect copyright.PENANAG70yEWxFcd
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.782Please respect copyright.PENANAEoZ9mDxanY
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.782Please respect copyright.PENANAxrWLLr4XRm
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.782Please respect copyright.PENANAwiuDPeMb90
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.782Please respect copyright.PENANATkaSC76oWB
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAtjKvsxCtqL
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.782Please respect copyright.PENANAcU7vNf4svN
Mike gave Christine a 782Please respect copyright.PENANANFFZArDw9R
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 782Please respect copyright.PENANAvS3oCeVPmy
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't782Please respect copyright.PENANAEY52d8Sg4h
wrong about that.782Please respect copyright.PENANAZa8pPBJvtS
We decided to go back to782Please respect copyright.PENANADUwdCuTdbF
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 782Please respect copyright.PENANAAjVaNFSSws
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,782Please respect copyright.PENANA3ES0WuMBHF
this happened:782Please respect copyright.PENANAMrBJHhcGQC
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.782Please respect copyright.PENANA5GACzfQaCa
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.782Please respect copyright.PENANA4qGMXSSNgZ
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.782Please respect copyright.PENANAyYyZBV07f3
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."782Please respect copyright.PENANAs5bgkea5rp
I wanted to frown at him782Please respect copyright.PENANAuthLiG7Lpg
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 782Please respect copyright.PENANAKZGKNCoxfo
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.782Please respect copyright.PENANAuBBwRI2GHi
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.782Please respect copyright.PENANAgK0yAkDQdZ
I looked at Jinwoo and I782Please respect copyright.PENANA27kAr4WSN8
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 782Please respect copyright.PENANABWZyCj0cT0
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 782Please respect copyright.PENANAREwav9pjm0
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.782Please respect copyright.PENANAQGE70T0TFo
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.782Please respect copyright.PENANAHjIp28ARwM
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANA8xnlGjQmnI
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.782Please respect copyright.PENANAVW9JaGhwmD
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."782Please respect copyright.PENANA2cA8inqOyz
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAHMkG9vz2vX
"Good idea. Let's go."782Please respect copyright.PENANAXkwYE2mwWR
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANACQQVgzVFuo
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.782Please respect copyright.PENANAERN9GmRnXz
Before he could say 782Please respect copyright.PENANAEMSsXl7w9w
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I782Please respect copyright.PENANAQIPBmYpMHu
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped782Please respect copyright.PENANA324yZETNg8
out of the room, he was snickering.782Please respect copyright.PENANAROLxE5TRWu
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.782Please respect copyright.PENANAkqdHXfsNad
"Just because I'm his 782Please respect copyright.PENANAPnd0yQ0IXE
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being782Please respect copyright.PENANAB2uxbced22
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAtSjjVztxnR
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."782Please respect copyright.PENANA94CuhU4nnr
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAd37ZRGgFoO
"Actually, it was only 782Please respect copyright.PENANA3Nw5bnVec7
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 782Please respect copyright.PENANA9w4GZPNZSM
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."782Please respect copyright.PENANAgr5zDob8Iq
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.782Please respect copyright.PENANANMJPl54ltv
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.782Please respect copyright.PENANAOsA9y3NaeG
When we got to the 782Please respect copyright.PENANAK79MMXjAOa
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 782Please respect copyright.PENANAapT0Rpo5EF
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 782Please respect copyright.PENANA1CgY5P5oZ2
inside the elevator.782Please respect copyright.PENANAe02koOouvE
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.782Please respect copyright.PENANAmekOBEzI8Z
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."782Please respect copyright.PENANAn6SqVQjmxv
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.782Please respect copyright.PENANAcTPwYphxAf
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.782Please respect copyright.PENANAhmEP1UaJJZ
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."782Please respect copyright.PENANAKFvyOFLKDN
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.782Please respect copyright.PENANAU30aWxjWc9
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANA47uYiVCDO0
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."782Please respect copyright.PENANAwBRD2FDUP6
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."782Please respect copyright.PENANArnuVVBtVbB
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."782Please respect copyright.PENANAq9z3rUWhqi
"Well, if you're 782Please respect copyright.PENANATTiQ9cv2N5
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 782Please respect copyright.PENANAAC2dhWSwQz
his face and I could tell something was up.782Please respect copyright.PENANA5ePc9iIPp4
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAvO2pmAap7N
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."782Please respect copyright.PENANARNqFbclIwb
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAlXLSKW6ZRz
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."782Please respect copyright.PENANAOFf5E715lh
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.782Please respect copyright.PENANAyRkLCVwweB
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."782Please respect copyright.PENANAnYY2RPKKjs
"I came to see you guys 782Please respect copyright.PENANAV0m7FhsyVL
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 782Please respect copyright.PENANAzlVF4kQtYp
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."782Please respect copyright.PENANAIfaMCikitU
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."782Please respect copyright.PENANAOBk7EtUzI8
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."782Please respect copyright.PENANAc0AH7S1oU8
"Okay, then you go and 782Please respect copyright.PENANAJip01ErjWq
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino782Please respect copyright.PENANANDO6BI32RP
to get Zoey as fast as we could."782Please respect copyright.PENANA1nD9RRx5Xc
"I hate it when someone orders me around but I'll do it for you anyway," said TOP as he held my chin for a brief moment.782Please respect copyright.PENANAYFYeWKrPL3
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.782Please respect copyright.PENANAWpBxzvhd36
We headed downstairs to 782Please respect copyright.PENANAyYwZI1kIsQ
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 782Please respect copyright.PENANAZe4jm21gNW
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.782Please respect copyright.PENANABnMnIJe8CA
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAWdfKjw5p3r
"Trying to look good," 782Please respect copyright.PENANA7fHUdke5hd
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 782Please respect copyright.PENANAslzZyndbsL
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 782Please respect copyright.PENANAnqnJZxJixS
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."782Please respect copyright.PENANAmee4neH4gA
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.782Please respect copyright.PENANA4Big4tsgKz
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.782Please respect copyright.PENANA2VxNgTRr8p
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."782Please respect copyright.PENANA48EzRGUe01
"You're kidding, right?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAeB8LIBPd5R
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."782Please respect copyright.PENANAkGtq1x5vaU
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAGXInSYCjyy
"He shouldn't see The Toxins with WINNER," I said. "That's what we have to do. Come on, let's go before he gets here."782Please respect copyright.PENANATdpyZOOiBY
Just as I turned around 782Please respect copyright.PENANA0N1vtlRvrs
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 782Please respect copyright.PENANApuRkQiEqKf
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 782Please respect copyright.PENANAacLepAGjWp
the the floor we were on.782Please respect copyright.PENANANhTq9A994C
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.782Please respect copyright.PENANABHeTkzQUoG
Just as we turned round a782Please respect copyright.PENANA3fwoEc8eh6
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 782Please respect copyright.PENANA5y8SM0Q3Wa
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 782Please respect copyright.PENANA3eTjgODTyU
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 782Please respect copyright.PENANAzRLB0h9NBi
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.782Please respect copyright.PENANAkhtx5HC4Hx
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAEyQ4RWnboE
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.782Please respect copyright.PENANAQfxFQrZkaI
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAVMU4B90VxS
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."782Please respect copyright.PENANA4XQMiPdNVn
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAWx2Zqw1XPw
I didn't say anything as782Please respect copyright.PENANAROvdmZ8W0L
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 782Please respect copyright.PENANA2t0qJhKL5d
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 782Please respect copyright.PENANAgbdtTeqvP3
Hyun-suk's voice.782Please respect copyright.PENANA8VsM429iJr
Gosh, I muttered in my head. If I hadn't thought of hiding when I saw the elevator monitor, we would have been in so much trouble.782Please respect copyright.PENANAlPxKZRD86D
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.782Please respect copyright.PENANATx1Gwq26FQ
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.782Please respect copyright.PENANAHqTRoH1s5i
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.782Please respect copyright.PENANA2GsEyVZwhK
I checked around with my782Please respect copyright.PENANAtE9OYD8teN
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 782Please respect copyright.PENANAUJB6UbjMi7
the light went on in the tiny room.782Please respect copyright.PENANAOdHIPYGSvO
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAan1OTtZ0gj
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.782Please respect copyright.PENANACJxzrtEpCR
I shook my head. "They are still there."782Please respect copyright.PENANA4n8OVoTD9P
Mino and Zoey both 782Please respect copyright.PENANAmokGdHc3EW
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 782Please respect copyright.PENANA6L2OWTCBaQ
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 782Please respect copyright.PENANACvgF0xtQYI
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 782Please respect copyright.PENANAUyzXY3GPk9
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 782Please respect copyright.PENANAFadIK5ffDL
behind me.782Please respect copyright.PENANAtM7pVJwmTP
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.782Please respect copyright.PENANANY1AicEUk2
"I think they are gone," I whispered.782Please respect copyright.PENANAplO43XDlyr
"Try and check," Mino whispered.782Please respect copyright.PENANAzaaNOOCgCX
I took hold of the door 782Please respect copyright.PENANAk8jpnB2b4I
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 782Please respect copyright.PENANA3FPgz9CiJ3
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of782Please respect copyright.PENANAfwLSpE1Bt3
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.782Please respect copyright.PENANAkBcAhfyTOV
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.782Please respect copyright.PENANALF032jGcaw
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.782Please respect copyright.PENANAGmdf6UOzQ8
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.782Please respect copyright.PENANAhcWSNGcbFj
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.782Please respect copyright.PENANAGn08jL58y7
The three of us were 782Please respect copyright.PENANAD9EmiEQrnm
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 782Please respect copyright.PENANAnFk1vbvbqp
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was782Please respect copyright.PENANAG86cqhM7HS
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 782Please respect copyright.PENANAA4LlUvQ4oz
heard the phone ring.782Please respect copyright.PENANA05wTKNCExX
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.782Please respect copyright.PENANA16v4u2FAm4
I quickly took the bag 782Please respect copyright.PENANAeZqvbiCJOQ
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 782Please respect copyright.PENANAwKOVKuS4R5
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 782Please respect copyright.PENANAeN423DQMnW
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 782Please respect copyright.PENANA3o9GfkpOdZ
anything strange."782Please respect copyright.PENANASZhnKRsZmF
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANA1YjfYacQ1X
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."782Please respect copyright.PENANAicOKAOtTPk
Mino and Zoey quickly 782Please respect copyright.PENANArGAJMBQJsK
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 782Please respect copyright.PENANAuEUneckUO2
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 782Please respect copyright.PENANAMWGrVHjlvS
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 782Please respect copyright.PENANA8V5GOUZuLM
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 782Please respect copyright.PENANAn0fpZbnPWT
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.782Please respect copyright.PENANACf9MI9hX4h
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."782Please respect copyright.PENANAMpjuluVJGB
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.782Please respect copyright.PENANAYDTCPf9v9R
A woman who was with them said, "I see you've grown into the Korean culture pretty quickly. I've to say I'm really impressed."782Please respect copyright.PENANAYkGFeDzFuQ
I gave them a little 782Please respect copyright.PENANAwydalMjuLF
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 782Please respect copyright.PENANAGGM2KjoQxx
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 782Please respect copyright.PENANApOFbskA5rJ
the place.782Please respect copyright.PENANAf8RU7TaJS5
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAmvCu20JH0z
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.782Please respect copyright.PENANAKQaZs5d8Lh
"I must say, I watched 782Please respect copyright.PENANAP06zJ8S9J6
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 782Please respect copyright.PENANAiOntTBFvQl
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 782Please respect copyright.PENANA5mtE8ltCID
black suit.782Please respect copyright.PENANATvpLTVOEj1
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.782Please respect copyright.PENANAXZ8jWIHqHJ
"You really do have good manners," said other man.782Please respect copyright.PENANAQypPETbyir
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.782Please respect copyright.PENANA8QIMqPZNm2
"I always do my best," I said politely.782Please respect copyright.PENANAjQJHJoddjy
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.782Please respect copyright.PENANAzKgWKS77SO
I felt my eyes were 782Please respect copyright.PENANAzOSyWQ5tEo
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 782Please respect copyright.PENANAFHECuc7csQ
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 782Please respect copyright.PENANACOsP66UxcI
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 782Please respect copyright.PENANAX7f3xpBdKf
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.782Please respect copyright.PENANAssgCoU41pR
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"782Please respect copyright.PENANAYtiOVFcBPY
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me782Please respect copyright.PENANAl2HK8XBcw3
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 782Please respect copyright.PENANABDg82auABN
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"782Please respect copyright.PENANARDhmv012UL
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.782Please respect copyright.PENANAJgZ0LK94MK
"Since you haven't done so in a while, I bet you're really tired or you would have practised even longer. Maybe next time."782Please respect copyright.PENANAxoGGht0Amb
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.782Please respect copyright.PENANAfsaGhfMzZ5
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.782Please respect copyright.PENANAnVuzuio20f
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."782Please respect copyright.PENANAbrAduPT0Dv
I smiled as I bowed my 782Please respect copyright.PENANA4OZuMwOO4J
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 782Please respect copyright.PENANAffECybtEkg
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 782Please respect copyright.PENANAJso0gqX5Vy
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I782Please respect copyright.PENANA1HcusDy1lG
was until now.782Please respect copyright.PENANAY4RJNRiBBt
I quickly ran to the 782Please respect copyright.PENANACdUsj2W77r
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 782Please respect copyright.PENANAt0LyBBAYGJ
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 782Please respect copyright.PENANAwFfnvuxiMZ
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 782Please respect copyright.PENANAOM2Q4LRawK
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 782Please respect copyright.PENANA3pQmCCHOeR
see.782Please respect copyright.PENANAMmuw86Kdd6
"Sam! You're okay," said Seunghoon as he was the first one to quickly rush down and reach me. He pulled me into a hug.782Please respect copyright.PENANA25H78KLe1y
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."782Please respect copyright.PENANAbg3CEDDA01
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.782Please respect copyright.PENANAaMFuORRgWL
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.782Please respect copyright.PENANA0clMIzNhBs
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.782Please respect copyright.PENANAbCPMGCDzRF
"Because I missed you."782Please respect copyright.PENANAlHa8lBsKIp
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.782Please respect copyright.PENANAXNaU8Zyfwf
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.782Please respect copyright.PENANADqObZPpdE5
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.782Please respect copyright.PENANAvvPMYr4qGj
When we reached the 782Please respect copyright.PENANAEF3OzXx9jW
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 782Please respect copyright.PENANAPe65wzmCRi
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 782Please respect copyright.PENANA1hAnmIjFEt
lobby.782Please respect copyright.PENANApqyejeLjpW
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.782Please respect copyright.PENANAEZ69Rd0Pj7
"I think I've an idea," I782Please respect copyright.PENANAzsW6qRcxV3
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going782Please respect copyright.PENANAybb5j9CABj
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 782Please respect copyright.PENANAueB0awdAzl
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."782Please respect copyright.PENANA9WckJQp0kN
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.782Please respect copyright.PENANArb2tRthzzX
I rolled my eyes. I 782Please respect copyright.PENANArfSjJTMiQF
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself782Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ6hymDgOc
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 782Please respect copyright.PENANA9NxMbcQV1l
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.782Please respect copyright.PENANAXkM1icCCwd
"Because I'm smart 782Please respect copyright.PENANAXIrsbJRCby
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such782Please respect copyright.PENANAl9fby5X2Qm
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAx30e1GjuNi
Mino and TOP smiled at 782Please respect copyright.PENANAhCDPorCccG
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 782Please respect copyright.PENANARK89x29hCZ
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 782Please respect copyright.PENANA05iuHyYEZC
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.782Please respect copyright.PENANATWrI5UOvyP
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."782Please respect copyright.PENANAdAs9u0outF
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAM441d9Bx8j
"If we don't take the 782Please respect copyright.PENANAGBR70Bn4xN
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 782Please respect copyright.PENANAiAA2ono6hP
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."782Please respect copyright.PENANALyvz2lApOe
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.782Please respect copyright.PENANAp9LLMm1MPs
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.782Please respect copyright.PENANAGsMKJ37JC6
"You guys go right now 782Please respect copyright.PENANAFbLPHcmX8R
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 782Please respect copyright.PENANA1gnhfBUs93
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."782Please respect copyright.PENANAjjsCgBcoDM
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.782Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZjvvR7KQZ
"Because I need you around."782Please respect copyright.PENANAi3xMIjKGR3
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.782Please respect copyright.PENANAdGa0Vi69F2
Seungyoon and his group 782Please respect copyright.PENANAekQz8CGRVK
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAzJq34sXDrd
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 782Please respect copyright.PENANAZZx4mh3DJU
for ten minutes.782Please respect copyright.PENANA0uCj0U2ALT
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAHLQo5psNhD
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.782Please respect copyright.PENANAyeu9LZtZxL
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.782Please respect copyright.PENANAa3i4STY1Fd
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.782Please respect copyright.PENANAEpxDrR4X4r
"So if you guys are 782Please respect copyright.PENANAENU99h9ow8
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 782Please respect copyright.PENANAZMFQd8S81M
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAKoZYTYdh29
"Why do you ask?" I asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAeGtROFy0Ch
"You guys can't just 782Please respect copyright.PENANAUBahmR0pFf
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 782Please respect copyright.PENANAd7hvwMfTPl
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 782Please respect copyright.PENANAUtlnpB8RLe
managers will find out what's going on."782Please respect copyright.PENANARh9XyoqzCo
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.782Please respect copyright.PENANAweXI8QLJD0
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.782Please respect copyright.PENANAPdzt8aPS5V
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.782Please respect copyright.PENANATZP985YqwR
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."782Please respect copyright.PENANABHHYq13YVm
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."782Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZphPSvrNt
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.782Please respect copyright.PENANAeDaGc4Nh97
The others quickly 782Please respect copyright.PENANAPQquhXpRJf
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 782Please respect copyright.PENANACSdvv83qUV
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 782Please respect copyright.PENANA2z7Mzbagkj
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 782Please respect copyright.PENANAb2JaSjAGNH
worried that they might have hit their heads.782Please respect copyright.PENANAHAj6mVh8g5
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.782Please respect copyright.PENANA8uetg5AsB0
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."782Please respect copyright.PENANA11KoSQ6VDK
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.782Please respect copyright.PENANARYEnvhMxeJ
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.782Please respect copyright.PENANAUm8xa0pUDW
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.782Please respect copyright.PENANAaBCSq5CGpj
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAf5v6h65O7u
As soon as I turned 782Please respect copyright.PENANAFl0frxxXVV
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the782Please respect copyright.PENANAxL0v7S7wDd
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 782Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9NZyHKbZO
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 782Please respect copyright.PENANA8tzyiwrg82
behind me paused ready for the worst.782Please respect copyright.PENANADwvxCn2JJz
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.782Please respect copyright.PENANAu0CJ6BXoYT
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."782Please respect copyright.PENANAqrob7xByme
"Well, this day just got782Please respect copyright.PENANA0Sm1nSPWag
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about782Please respect copyright.PENANA6DIp8HYdlN
it. I couldn't blame him for that.782Please respect copyright.PENANA59QigQ1rnb
Coming out of the 782Please respect copyright.PENANAtfLEmKFgJ8
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 782Please respect copyright.PENANAiIzkpeC1pt
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 782Please respect copyright.PENANAYFc5KCnS60
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.782Please respect copyright.PENANAw8T1aLTgEo
I felt like I had stood 782Please respect copyright.PENANApA94B5VINN
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged782Please respect copyright.PENANARG8D2kG2Ex
me on the shoulder to get my attention.782Please respect copyright.PENANAJJISpH9Zua
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.782Please respect copyright.PENANABARX5KfReI
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.782Please respect copyright.PENANAqeWS3zTSzL
