Meeting WINNER the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXemF6WJbZM
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqJJd3VGeq0
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAv4CFo3tEaI
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhywD1qbxdm
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAq045qVKAIH
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlBuXWDSuxt
With the little time we 1023Please respect copyright.PENANANV4j7kVpPk
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again1023Please respect copyright.PENANAurvsu7VFxP
as we all got to know each other.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3v9hxNvtrU
Seungyoon, the leader 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9jc8yK7W6Z
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAjWlFDkzzyc
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a1023Please respect copyright.PENANAw2YBBuahlz
fun and nice person to be around with.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXk2iAxe5GR
Then there is Mino, who 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1BvI40sdGu
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9meoAk2ClW
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIJNwx4ZgOb
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.1023Please respect copyright.PENANArFexh4DUBW
As for Jinwoo and 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1bNGUPlH0B
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA92YDVuhvvg
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAigZvJnFrOb
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8AMMZRV3zE
in Korea.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXZSzJrmC3v
As for Seunghoon, I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANASJ6rt561y0
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking1023Please respect copyright.PENANANGWHKuQrY1
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUyYgFl3w50
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.1023Please respect copyright.PENANANLxNiTdQ4O
Before they left, we 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVvYKVuZFN7
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 1023Please respect copyright.PENANASq90uDpEpe
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 1023Please respect copyright.PENANANQNVLHTpZ1
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqTdvaxkE2r
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzsfC92qYyo
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAa4ZcDgJbcE
place?1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsATUIeXqM5
I already had that part 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA5hEMpQ1fmw
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbgJbYu9g8A
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAy2plwWdwNf
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAWsoBYh2t2U
wouldn't have to break a sweat.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAvipKcXEM70
Right now, this very 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAgCoPbyPGMX
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtFWSIeYmaN
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAvObCSQhOlj
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee1023Please respect copyright.PENANAFDvMObU3OR
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 1023Please respect copyright.PENANATYS2VJSVzp
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 1023Please respect copyright.PENANALZ9VJlk294
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA5nx0eseSsV
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAx8kBpwqiaO
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANARjr8FMrZ3F
"I'm tired of sleeping,"1023Please respect copyright.PENANA4sNvLf8lCv
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAvKE2Mkf0Ae
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9OsqlmMrRL
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAa2DqDa9Eoa
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.1023Please respect copyright.PENANASYa4hyfVpC
"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."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxS48F6Kkpj
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.1023Please respect copyright.PENANABz16rDi1h3
"You know, going for 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAgiyjAOLmH9
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUp2NtQ0aH5
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAvz9JvushPI
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y9ckBqnUl
we try to do what we're familiar with."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOlwb7pQ54N
"Mmmm, I guess you're 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAgNOvtHYM3m
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQobtOaEFoo
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAdfqAQCOcAW
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAKCVd3pjCHw
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAngYGxJ2dpc
"Yep," Collins nodded 1023Please respect copyright.PENANApxvkMqOcEA
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUQyiNlvvC2
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA17ADMMWbMu
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUF1y8L7xE7
good now, will it?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAA0z2XxArDy
Wow. This was literally 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA2NIHotV2nQ
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA50Knf9dBqZ
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAFEm554vrPs
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAcm2SjWPMOa
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.1023Please respect copyright.PENANALVkpN8B2cK
I left the lounge at a 1023Please respect copyright.PENANASXlKHH7Rp9
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9GRNtRkKSg
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1XjPJZZ7WS
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA64h2OXTUtD
Zoey sat up with a start1023Please respect copyright.PENANARF9u9G0pxo
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 1023Please respect copyright.PENANADElIWJ7uGn
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAM03SknFseP
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVr2KxnFCFX
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9C7Gzn3UAE
At first she didn't say a1023Please respect copyright.PENANATNjC72DTbd
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAf4W1v0lOGn
looking at me with her eyes wide open.1023Please respect copyright.PENANACAvhNEe7FM
"What did you say?" she asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAO5sTmJ2uE8
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQW0Izc6Ioy
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAinPOhA7DuK
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA2UHixzEEob
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAeWKYg5xg1N
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUaaflwiatU
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAy5alOrU4tQ
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7Jg8NjjwgD
I went to wake up 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUEjV9TbKlz
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I1023Please respect copyright.PENANAgLJL5z589e
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.1023Please respect copyright.PENANApqrgaTNJH9
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAfFK4kBFghs
"I gave a reasonable 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAo9LrqCYUml
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAY1PgX0Upwi
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqobtj5DkQU
I noticed Christine 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAfarem4EuQu
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly1023Please respect copyright.PENANAA0dNHBR2gK
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAK144Fp87YP
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3zlE2ZGPG1
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9zjxtUlhuU
When we all had our bags1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzRPI3WBVFL
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOopSzCKxO1
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAYdk9b0D69y
looked at us.1023Please respect copyright.PENANADxXn9wjKOw
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsFRBIKNb8A
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8S8epEKURF
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.1023Please respect copyright.PENANArhCnIJmiJE
"I hate when you use my 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxG1fNMX05R
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAnutqJ6NFVe
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAa1BOUXoFDj
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."1023Please respect copyright.PENANArSH9BHpmMo
Collins rolled his eyes 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA23xAxUre9Y
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQlmhNKozY7
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAX1xAEHRAMr
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAyqZqs7xqft
"I would really love to,1023Please respect copyright.PENANAy8x26AQT44
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass1023Please respect copyright.PENANAoGbHylhgOn
by at lunchtime to check on you."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7ODknsSW05
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzDCzjOgvT8
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAu6Z7Hkyllu
"Nothing," said Christine.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAU1UdPVUN0C
I noticed Mike give 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAfPuet3V0NZ
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut1023Please respect copyright.PENANA63BQQxNoXB
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAH5Y7o24qdR
going on.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAou6GTh0ias
"It's just about the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAWd8ItFk3bh
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAGnkOFKFLyg
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAWA9PJvePva
happened."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAD1A3K2r6xw
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA6YYixRotax
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAuX6JzDQJ3O
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZ88WHdFKPT
When we arrived at YG, 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA2gZQDBTGYI
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJkPvixhHt5
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAyH6p9M2zOh
"I already informed the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAj9HMJ2m9WI
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAEIQA7JaF8e
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAl2AVAw5Fc8
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAi2u1v8sc7p
"I know you will. See you later."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAB78RHwqp8b
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxXCPQa8Qks
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAL8WL8muo4K
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7oxxG80tP8
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA6DpZLGSOaw
"Careful, Zoey," I said 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOZNPT6kpVm
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVY6K8Pmzj7
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUpLv8hnys9
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA0PuyNCstE4
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANADyIKS2RLm8
"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.1023Please respect copyright.PENANALAq1cttwcM
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAjtYvrezmV6
"No," I said as the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAc7EeO8DHmU
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOU00ZgxZO3
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAMaMrUrCLSS
studios.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7Miij505sX
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUP1C87tIp7
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzPGsAQY8dJ
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzbnUGmhbPT
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAGWs2NqVJvq
"That's different."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAGME3Hi8ARY
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA5PrS1j1pAt
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAs4yPcuD3l1
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAccGFCYyKZy
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAjaSPM1eMFs
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAgYZvGYTozv
It was so much fun 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxfSPlvkut1
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAHEZJ04GE9w
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAdBvi09vgKa
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOJwHX7SKEv
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqMlfilovgw
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAgbJO9VRlGp
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAjqC7l0Blws
"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."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7CmGPfVLVr
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAq2mZM0jnGa
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJh1tV2QGfu
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAaDrl3dWhUI
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUWkvCOaMq9
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIONbhiouq1
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAANA3tF30mT
"Come on, Zoey," I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAgltROEWLZM
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJhmNxzh1JU
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA332j9mYQre
"What song?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANANrCaJfFfsM
I didn't answer when I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANATBy1MxwKXc
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxDgjQPhzv4
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAk4FoctNUER
pill soon started to play.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAG7Yg9e0dzU
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.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA2VYkAKaJHu
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.1023Please respect copyright.PENANABfHONnXIAc
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAYsIJB7CUh6
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.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhau3EJRZ1a
It's been a while since I1023Please respect copyright.PENANAi4uNIt3Zcs
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxnskUzoS2w
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAYCUWznYjeZ
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA6UMF6KKvkO
At the end of it, the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVjCKztzBe3
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8qle7uOm9w
our moves synchronising with one another.1023Please respect copyright.PENANArE1E2MdifR
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZB3uBJMpRe
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA0ekE94Gmy0
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQYd7q8gIj9
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAPGrUW3Vp5W
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9iGDMs7pwm
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7GZxAHGySC
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAm9zXmh2XBC
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAEFUpblWnoN
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1SgUnQN2yI
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbWXibc0ocK
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA0U33NZNjVE
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANA4kG2qIddcx
Mino and Seunghoon both 1023Please respect copyright.PENANATVIPlBTNQe
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAEFlV02sNFq
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.1023Please respect copyright.PENANArI36jJ4I2t
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA95NwmL9KtX
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUW4lVdHkuv
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAD6W2EUqCHo
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAK53oYHMO9L
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANArQqOpbwSDd
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAp0mleQvRzu
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA61rbwmE0jf
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.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAB9ICxyGyIb
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7tuKYO3wgY
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAuDQju1tM48
I nudged my head to the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsn9SiJu5hR
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAHx6xqI92Js
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhfHhj0GTBm
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAFmmBG7lp5V
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsqrB9jm4A6
Seunghoon lips were 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3MT7a4vzaY
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was1023Please respect copyright.PENANA2xhylU00Pp
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose1023Please respect copyright.PENANAvCAQAGl3Xp
focus.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAr0oyNtXXgx
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsKQkBnuD7Y
"The others might, but I1023Please respect copyright.PENANA2700rVktpL
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going1023Please respect copyright.PENANAAki2vyJgnO
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQSWFmOnRML
when TOP came to pick me up?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAK5VQsl4Z9E
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA5NCgAHMOyA
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOXS99u1CKe
He again took a step closer. "Yes."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAd4S7mvfKso
Well, that made sense 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbtPK04XHAP
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7yDtNnDJgG
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAWSTX6ljuI8
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXQmMKuwNw0
seen.1023Please respect copyright.PENANADKus8i7vbf
I hadn't realised it 1023Please respect copyright.PENANArFqwVtCxUA
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking1023Please respect copyright.PENANAEBPEb9PGe9
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA42wK1vRhBU
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhvThPFGi0J
uncomfortable.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtkyTquWlFl
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.1023Please respect copyright.PENANADbXHlX5nUq
"Well, yes," he 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQAc0deO8fu
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAmKpbUcK6dd
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxlh4RzzCWg
"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."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAviv9vxgbCf
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXMyifzL02v
I blushed and I was a 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUmK1dFoLsX
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1sX7QdBzy4
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAF4mJRtyxmG
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlU3WmweHzi
celebrities.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZUJnxxCMEe
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAaevolmIZuR
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAkiBHMvaEOx
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA13iLTtBFbP
"No, they don't," I lied1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsbSSzoK1D9
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJn0h0hOhCi
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOwJ3bAsOQs
others had arrived.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAG8oTr7LtaI
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIomPkx2001
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA19SMZFhWjm
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAmq1SxN8TjU
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAfGdOEaIWmV
"Awesome," I replied.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAoZi1zSV87b
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.1023Please respect copyright.PENANApJgi2Eb6xP
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.1023Please respect copyright.PENANABBbzAWClgr
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.1023Please respect copyright.PENANATG2IArcrnx
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtKnqVQSPi2
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAgTb54d4c4o
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAYUWGApZwsR
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUQXwGUvo5Y
"And besides, you and I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAa7aS7cWCEy
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsDfM02UVjE
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAnZaJfPKo5K
and Seunghoon showed up."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOCriwt5NPm
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAywu0LSugXX
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7OW1OxekMr
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAEleu0F1Azp
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIElsSMBkDs
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA6IJQNQAmga
Apparently, he wasn't 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAeemEtYOhFk
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqea8q72BUx
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXC9E1KGsyB
just made him look even more adorable.1023Please respect copyright.PENANADCE2cpHGei
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA6VA3DZnJPy
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAX9mlrl64zf
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzofyKVWW4u
"Yes!" I heard the four 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8UlWTrHTPf
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVtPd3F1HDI
at the track list. Then, something came to me.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAjrp3KsVTpH
"Change of plans, Zoey,"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAmiU7unh3Cw
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want1023Please respect copyright.PENANA4qwTD5mScN
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAA3n4nhN2fR
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."1023Please respect copyright.PENANADIZV7k0bUq
"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."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA0pRyine8yf
"This just got interesting," said Mino.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXxjeuZOllx
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANA6TQ2YTSCwQ
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAMC7BBXkDT6
"Taeyang is going to 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAKMKcOQWDjZ
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAMIR9oWbLEJ
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAACbppcPXUt
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqZFM9AAjxM
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAs7Q4pAsNeP
I tapped the track on my1023Please respect copyright.PENANAEukKJ9bnph
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAdB7Wv02OOq
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOt7NbcraEO
When the song started, I1023Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ9PhV1rqw
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 1023Please respect copyright.PENANARoKTcrMQM7
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8YS7fFoW2G
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqthQrJxKbh
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to1023Please respect copyright.PENANA6MnaNYfcv6
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVrPLZID5Jf
doing a pretty good with the moves too.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAk52ipwRA7f
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.1023Please respect copyright.PENANADkvApavUZA
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAahVNEVHNsA
"Whenever it came to the1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbEZAtORH4F
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7lZeQ2NN9K
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1uAMu8wvrU
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAreJcVd6AFx
"Thanks, guys," I said.1023Please respect copyright.PENANArNzuf7xIbJ
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAGoptN86pYq
"Now, coming to my 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA96sGtKQTGO
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAw7EyeL6I7v
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAITLThlnB2C
think is a better dancer?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAwKjl7mVjJa
"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."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1ePe7f4FKg
"Why?" Zoey asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAwEYvdY0qRU
"I think you and I both 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAKwpkCHJBxI
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAeAbfYGHj9K
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8xe9fAdo9B
That counts for something, right?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAcB1p5ZJJNC
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAduS1gjGbhX
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAL8Doc66ynQ
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAdWHtPYopey
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3aiAvckTVv
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANATUMElW0fMS
"Well, ya." Mike 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAapKjqYKPOs
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAyRQKincju9
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZtbNBRJSWi
sentence as he looked at Zoey.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbZZVlQISxG
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAnXejfV8NJu
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.1023Please respect copyright.PENANADCkeBtjqNA
"I also think it will be1023Please respect copyright.PENANAEF05Xh6D2a
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAHcvjSOLgHd
obviously bring out a better opinion."1023Please respect copyright.PENANATruPWKwZ39
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAWF8rF5PRZ3
"Count me out of it," I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAwyQzWeVYRI
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAWBg2W2w6Iy
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAogo7aLe4mt
"Fine, I'll create a 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3XNLdLoxPM
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how1023Please respect copyright.PENANAFwK8ltAEeV
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though1023Please respect copyright.PENANAogHKkLxN12
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA26nY8n3LgK
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAyOvAbNIsCT
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqoXJg7pQlp
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA4W0Dsh4EU0
Zoey and Mike soon got 1023Please respect copyright.PENANALbAGVoglD7
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAcn7wkUSPSo
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAwtPN5eGjV7
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVZfciNRFqQ
battle.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAadFnuJXQJs
I got my phone and the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8nTGyWdFkk
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAiD4xSujCfU
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7G9S4uPpRZ
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXJEzJYibXZ
I turned to look at him 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAramCNraujY
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAEUdADM2IkG
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQ132YR1iHE
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAHGN7z6lCkW
smile if they were to look at him.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAdiJqnr4Uqw
"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."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAPhmJXV7bpn
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ68zdktoz
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA48tCTCZGlC
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAKppYWuLI55
"You're right about that."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqMpWJ85He7
I looked behind me with a1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9pWUNbRAuH
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsPBOvslLqZ
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA5wKuegkyfw
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUUdnTxyjPA
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXqKmmeg1mb
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAfURxEFytIi
"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."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAAOOsKePa79
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAGc53Xqgpww
"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."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAoKSs2tNfuM
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAcDAqVEVEcO
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."1023Please respect copyright.PENANANZOXdX7vCC
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.1023Please respect copyright.PENANARHZJU5LIpq
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ7N3w8FSM
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQuHVrcHsAT
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."1023Please respect copyright.PENANApzvQyrGzvw
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7YntvCMCMl
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAjt6SzIyXNd
"I sure hope so," I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQiQZx1l3of
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVXNWbEldRT
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAYGCRFcslZk
"What about those two?" 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJ12lCTF2uW
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlgwFwyZ8i2
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAvosjWBA1Qj
soon.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAwK7kpKwypv
"They will notice when 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbS5vV0rHBq
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxwNCAC6mbT
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAo5oZIMijLe
"Sure," he said with a smile.1023Please respect copyright.PENANARxymlkSp4Z
Christine, Daniel and I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAGzBBM1YqqL
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAILrnuPauIk
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.1023Please respect copyright.PENANALLvn2Q7yvW
Twenty minutes later, I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAT6mHhybMoJ
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAj76Yr9UqFN
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhxlEPX7G3z
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9j828pwPAA
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqxXAzMpPY7
in the shower room, still patching herself up.1023Please respect copyright.PENANALONREfmAG7
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.1023Please respect copyright.PENANASdLsbN5Ayb
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIf25Qlp4Gd
"Why? Anything special?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZOqjKIjuul
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1023Please respect copyright.PENANANfG7ASxZWM
"Oh, nothing," I stared 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqvC7znv6kA
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA70tFyKQ0Hj
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAMV6zCGfL8H
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzlSdRwD1MQ
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.1023Please respect copyright.PENANASophqu37Ih
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAHl0uqkokub
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhKcKAN7kfV
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3j8l1riF7f
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."1023Please respect copyright.PENANADVdGW5ndvh
"What are you talking about?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7CjhNaq2Xy
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAGWGdwGIJjs
Christine's mouth fell 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIVZYkWtP66
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOnfYEeZqPG
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ1O2FwDpM
"No, I don't," she said.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVL6Kr0f2LN
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAMLberODaZm
do like him but only as a fan girl."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAfxmm1oM5g9
"Please, I saw the way 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3COWaY1QBi
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jx7T5sHrS
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlTaYYMjoOO
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAFXYPyg1xLL
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZNWsgVb9w4
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAmQzPVfhq2o
more."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAFUD2Ak7tya
"Ya, right," I said as I1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbFzzZpsu24
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAapUXKBDNUr
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAPB9SnpwPzX
weird look on your face."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAshKKGScefj
"What weird look?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAdWJhlUkXlu
"The jealous one."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA90RS1Ns3Pq
"Spare me the drama, Sam."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAcUO3cAXOJ7
"If Zoey was the one 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAFCqt9Qk8he
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXUScBoBNdZ
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA4MAJadSllX
Jinwoo."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAGx8UfobuYn
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.1023Please respect copyright.PENANANUC2gg2yak
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANArrjrGlsfES
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlec5YaAPqY
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqowuslIKUu
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAYEIRDlMfFr
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAD6cYeU3bQ0
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQlLQD3XoYC
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAy9A7mIlJYI
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAM9BrXIhrwb
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAgYOyAWGsZZ
Mike gave Christine a 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAyfM28IqWRb
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAkO4eJsgNyW
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't1023Please respect copyright.PENANAGftGxoTBj3
wrong about that.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAYSCowXzf9W
We decided to go back to1023Please respect copyright.PENANAa8Kn0HYm0O
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAjqi6xjVdt4
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbQc0okxdE1
this happened:1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsKDX3KfMZ1
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.1023Please respect copyright.PENANADZWzMyD7QW
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAvjMQXpuSru
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhhqbwPZ42z
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAdKcbMeA5OS
I wanted to frown at him1023Please respect copyright.PENANAHBG8SIr28o
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAX5ZvoDSOEQ
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAcWjG8YjoBY
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8U6wYvAuEl
I looked at Jinwoo and I1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJxIktsbQeQ
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAnzYV2d64Jl
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbEf9T3SjVz
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ybg1f4zJD
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.1023Please respect copyright.PENANACYRU5WeUUJ
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA6IayzZa25m
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAPFS1JOw6tu
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAcm01dKjRNd
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAKnQeLeXYGD
"Good idea. Let's go."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhE1LhyyDKf
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANADv9Y0VJ56r
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAfWtFtROIqf
Before he could say 1023Please respect copyright.PENANABPuGyUXLA8
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I1023Please respect copyright.PENANAopYlteteu0
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped1023Please respect copyright.PENANAK047lVwi5t
out of the room, he was snickering.1023Please respect copyright.PENANANYgMTLWOgr
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.1023Please respect copyright.PENANASXe0wygU9U
"Just because I'm his 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlfOAmHrMfg
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhFnDQrotAz
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANARQlcOFHvAU
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlB5bKQtZlN
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAvuVSBDGpgP
"Actually, it was only 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOXNeU13D5c
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 1023Please respect copyright.PENANApiea1qaopg
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVJZj1kD1KL
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.1023Please respect copyright.PENANABnKnGDduPL
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAD8kjm0leOe
When we got to the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqUKplodJEU
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 1023Please respect copyright.PENANANHAIvquVqu
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA4oudevWNWa
inside the elevator.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAd6XVOPYMiR
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAGtTQLTHBgh
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAye3PQnAvaZ
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAnk2lFxSqJS
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAMCBtEuKFkK
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxUj7dfFZam
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOHOkfOBier
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAHWR38ojVi7
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1MDbym4fW2
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUQrF5nt4eH
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqZpCunZHrs
"Well, if you're 1023Please respect copyright.PENANADOWvyru1Gz
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 1023Please respect copyright.PENANArjTQ3IPd3U
his face and I could tell something was up.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAapHb9r3JlB
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANArNLt698O3q
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJJzrl9lGzp
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANACQjE1APxs2
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZFPZsdIQ1N
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAPfZ9UhCKla
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAmhbTlD1ECT
"I came to see you guys 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzQqxzk90m0
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlV7IjuxtTq
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9Irsvr3kL2
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAP486SXVhN6
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."1023Please respect copyright.PENANArG0efTrn99
"Okay, then you go and 1023Please respect copyright.PENANACgd5Dh7Q1o
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino1023Please respect copyright.PENANAoRYxfNhUFq
to get Zoey as fast as we could."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAPaxWGEIYvu
"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.1023Please respect copyright.PENANABam5Qorm2F
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.1023Please respect copyright.PENANALJkvk4PqbL
We headed downstairs to 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXwCviHW1O0
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsM6L3zSrYQ
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJE4qzqv7Kn
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAgnOihSIJ1J
"Trying to look good," 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAraLgHnzoVl
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAE19pP2mF94
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZnmobRaDgL
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAa99I7vo41q
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAo8arxLosqx
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAE7HQMrdnMc
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlBrgEunPxT
"You're kidding, right?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7ErIviRXT
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAMUkqWrjawS
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAN7yjDuRs6Q
"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."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAAzxnvaBkbI
Just as I turned around 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAoV6r6k5wV7
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtMTsOCAaig
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA4IfxkPPado
the the floor we were on.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA44fXdk82SO
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAoN9TBuO9Zt
Just as we turned round a1023Please respect copyright.PENANA5UIE7waCm5
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA206QigL7vM
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAW9meLSJVZI
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtwgyMmROuJ
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAaNbInHwkNc
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAnavGdV9r6p
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.1023Please respect copyright.PENANALe08Luw65b
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1d51Hh2F3z
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAg7yT8KNVlz
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAd4SU1mywug
I didn't say anything as1023Please respect copyright.PENANAva8AHsDRiG
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJqP2EOJ8xf
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsrmrvMVebH
Hyun-suk's voice.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8o4XmMHiNR
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.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAz62tzfH6bN
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlHnPC8mQSX
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAXltAKJf4cH
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUCmtxJ8YOb
I checked around with my1023Please respect copyright.PENANAF6xKexOf6H
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAgrhLDw2gSw
the light went on in the tiny room.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJwIqxmkhyJ
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAvrQNAD1b60
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAwURor8T4Ok
I shook my head. "They are still there."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlCr6GJILmg
Mino and Zoey both 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIcHlg856Z4
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA5GWCi5i90s
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANASKv7flXwZe
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAv7DrKWxSWq
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAHehaz2t9Tr
behind me.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAiFVQmXV1tS
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAu16k6LhIr8
"I think they are gone," I whispered.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAnyIaktfpZs
"Try and check," Mino whispered.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJBu6uajixC
I took hold of the door 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOYc1ge76RX
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzTI6Tb62Ts
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of1023Please respect copyright.PENANAiHXUKRD7WJ
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.1023Please respect copyright.PENANABKxKru4ujD
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJ82j6HSWIv
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAh9RD5fATpl
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAkg7leaStcZ
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAx5VCw8w8mH
The three of us were 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAmm0vEjaxzo
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAB5YNiVw6RJ
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3u8IEMUFYl
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAJU8UlkB0RQ
heard the phone ring.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8XXM8Bj3gI
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7FPGYGkrLg
I quickly took the bag 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsYBnUhH3f5
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3jBXHYCOrx
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAPXdTsNXIkf
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2FO425kIA
anything strange."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVDqB7Tm1Ql
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAPceM998DLq
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAweCJ4s8yun
Mino and Zoey quickly 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAY11RAYkp3s
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 1023Please respect copyright.PENANADElJpi86Az
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbDXDDSOHrd
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVuuURn1jm5
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 1023Please respect copyright.PENANARlHKsYni23
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAT8tTbIRgef
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAMm02xDKJf0
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbT4MdIk8YY
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."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAWh6l8acYpS
I gave them a little 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9OicWYbIbE
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAn9NcSHUcz7
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAFuLXwnyaco
the place.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtdaSKUJRaR
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANACBjICzxeJZ
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZcAXcMcoaO
"I must say, I watched 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtLoxhiQHTl
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAa3EODkKUFQ
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAh9Cnb4wzOH
black suit.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA9wQma9PGsW
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAl0SxqBVVwA
"You really do have good manners," said other man.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wuy9YEAYp
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAHBweMwBiwL
"I always do my best," I said politely.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAelAdDztzCp
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAnpGY2cRLic
I felt my eyes were 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxCtwpooQOX
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAPgjrauKTgE
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3RAXJLodbS
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 1023Please respect copyright.PENANABSO2JpshQS
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA2dJtEHXEI8
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAN099dSOGUq
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me1023Please respect copyright.PENANAcmwpXQY1qO
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1OhbjrOtWc
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAeUsOjaaCT2
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAKz2PmKZYQ5
"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."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAUjnxWUVd2I
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAkkh6yoptiD
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA93zj3F1Qlj
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAvsOGKpfDaI
I smiled as I bowed my 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1ygAoJ77qU
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAmjn23NnGNG
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAyYcdaiLe99
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I1023Please respect copyright.PENANA5WDb05ezSf
was until now.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQeocl3rNAU
I quickly ran to the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA5HwGvnr7wW
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAWYPdRxi7TD
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAW7kBsiK31M
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhKnA9KjDxd
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAq121I4ORzv
see.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAnCgaudxkpL
"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.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqfKpOz8774
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZd2rsnaLCs
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA7TineE9wtX
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1jB45OEZMU
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAf0ePGWdr1L
"Because I missed you."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAMaWBIONCFL
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAbAGYBhgMn3
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxWNtllnUM8
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA1ryI76qer0
When we reached the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZfiHtFUrea
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAEpJ6B5ttOf
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIgpwt2HPrA
lobby.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlTMzepj9f2
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAeyGF95c5uI
"I think I've an idea," I1023Please respect copyright.PENANApMQipJPKOL
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZqqplXoK1j
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhBSrxqx6nG
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA2laRjirkWF
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqVD9v6JIIH
I rolled my eyes. I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAych6uw7MTU
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself1023Please respect copyright.PENANAuU65obpS4L
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAuxhUvfcxhi
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVwe7cqYrec
"Because I'm smart 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqCAr9dySyl
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such1023Please respect copyright.PENANATK3QdibHg9
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANABtOerq9odw
Mino and TOP smiled at 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA5oCD2TqDE7
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAcgCNJu5brV
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAr7ymXeONvn
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAjXOWg5kZlO
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAVmqHwlb80N
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAHhSzVLyJtI

raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIvyRWgEbDu
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAWMlcFXpPlM
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ0pet8Tza
"You guys go right now 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsfJPMnmbsV
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANADivCtUiiEh
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA0ITQqJXNRc
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAA3FmR6B406
"Because I need you around."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIf9MRnl6WP
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.1023Please respect copyright.PENANApq3umfTNyA
Seungyoon and his group 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQd9sljdERQ
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAhAxArvShkF
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzsqLlk2jMS
for ten minutes.1023Please respect copyright.PENANArq4SoMdbp9
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAkYUf3WA50L
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAj5qU47Ed3x
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA8csehHQtWh
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAHqh5Psonju
"So if you guys are 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAYi9cB6KiKh
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 1023Please respect copyright.PENANACZr4So0mp9
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAt0yURadBle
"Why do you ask?" I asked.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAe7PTlzU1L4
"You guys can't just 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAj8ILqnyJyc
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAQOdIpZM9J0
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAyXectNd8R1
managers will find out what's going on."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAL8OTJ796F9
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAcUuWkd7Xwc
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAe1fWpmDEqo
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAdSxyyZmf6y
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."1023Please respect copyright.PENANA90epV2BR1Q
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."1023Please respect copyright.PENANABpMAVKgUKB
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.1023Please respect copyright.PENANApuvOyxxzb8
The others quickly 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlk0NA2LdVz
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA3TkdFo8Mp7
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 1023Please respect copyright.PENANA5qU2IASZv7
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAqMxGKKUsoq
worried that they might have hit their heads.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAKmRLl4TA3u
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.1023Please respect copyright.PENANABzWmPk135g
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAyYdD90NvEa
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA0bRxhupmbV
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAtSk9OG58Rj
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.1023Please respect copyright.PENANA6JYeBaOJlZ
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"1023Please respect copyright.PENANAlaoX5DdWUC
As soon as I turned 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAIPklY6ytlw
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the1023Please respect copyright.PENANAi0DYcY6Nua
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAAmk0Mjf7YJ
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAsz4ABNFgxW
behind me paused ready for the worst.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAPBLRji7NzN
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAEowKyx5Int
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."1023Please respect copyright.PENANAZMljF7cprk
"Well, this day just got1023Please respect copyright.PENANAkiumyliH8U
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about1023Please respect copyright.PENANAa2asH4ajlC
it. I couldn't blame him for that.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAzA8uE9xLpS
Coming out of the 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAYqPKQgbAE4
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAW4JOIdUw1c
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAiZIYQGV6JT
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAimM12P66fU
I felt like I had stood 1023Please respect copyright.PENANAAnlubbvvxM
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged1023Please respect copyright.PENANAxz7AC1JBDn
me on the shoulder to get my attention.1023Please respect copyright.PENANASwzLElFtmw
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAOsnOXq690b
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.1023Please respect copyright.PENANAACJCnMBH4P
