Meeting WINNER the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAmGYqwWrG1j
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 998Please respect copyright.PENANAYO6Mn6Plqz
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 998Please respect copyright.PENANAOlBW0VPPRU
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 998Please respect copyright.PENANAFkxxeQRjd0
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 998Please respect copyright.PENANAhQPi9wTwZC
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.998Please respect copyright.PENANABzAwBlEC6A
With the little time we 998Please respect copyright.PENANAOAWnxDV2nc
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again998Please respect copyright.PENANAfisUHX3MME
as we all got to know each other.998Please respect copyright.PENANAo36eAJP9V1
Seungyoon, the leader 998Please respect copyright.PENANAh62wWPphtT
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 998Please respect copyright.PENANA4GaYbkAHLa
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a998Please respect copyright.PENANAqLI85wCOqV
fun and nice person to be around with.998Please respect copyright.PENANAbb3CIkxEOF
Then there is Mino, who 998Please respect copyright.PENANAvzhm3cBw4G
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for998Please respect copyright.PENANAk9nFkKJNM0
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 998Please respect copyright.PENANAV7ukTVnMj2
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.998Please respect copyright.PENANAVAJZsLjfs0
As for Jinwoo and 998Please respect copyright.PENANA0C7HzXmN8H
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.998Please respect copyright.PENANA1dt0IZaQuu
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 998Please respect copyright.PENANAAS8VQ07b4o
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 998Please respect copyright.PENANAHNt4smD4fu
in Korea.998Please respect copyright.PENANAOB996Imerj
As for Seunghoon, I 998Please respect copyright.PENANADdbrpdsywS
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking998Please respect copyright.PENANAiVfM30Fyv2
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 998Please respect copyright.PENANA75n9goxpRH
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.998Please respect copyright.PENANAHdApMwBT6t
Before they left, we 998Please respect copyright.PENANAwXqKXCTR8z
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 998Please respect copyright.PENANAAJgGB2cho0
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 998Please respect copyright.PENANASs1rGsBLTF
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 998Please respect copyright.PENANASjHvo5XKj1
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done998Please respect copyright.PENANAmKFERyTATl
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 998Please respect copyright.PENANAhyWbN7btes
place?998Please respect copyright.PENANAiqru1a9iip
I already had that part 998Please respect copyright.PENANAHj7mWEOwbp
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 998Please respect copyright.PENANA9lh592KUO1
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 998Please respect copyright.PENANApYAzZ1IhjY
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 998Please respect copyright.PENANARslNnbTB30
wouldn't have to break a sweat.998Please respect copyright.PENANAKx1dDcbKOp
Right now, this very 998Please respect copyright.PENANArTvNVTTqP1
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 998Please respect copyright.PENANAlDSvnMok7q
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 998Please respect copyright.PENANAvnMSCLtdU1
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee998Please respect copyright.PENANAzrdoCMsczI
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 998Please respect copyright.PENANA1jpl5wM4RM
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 998Please respect copyright.PENANAp8XuFHTjI0
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.998Please respect copyright.PENANArnIdVqbIn0
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.998Please respect copyright.PENANAB6BIsgcCGO
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANACt3xRac1gG
"I'm tired of sleeping,"998Please respect copyright.PENANAdLLllwz6BX
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 998Please respect copyright.PENANAcI3eY5e74t
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 998Please respect copyright.PENANAvvDwlgGeao
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.998Please respect copyright.PENANA7ecxSmJsbw
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.998Please respect copyright.PENANAuPKuA50AVj
"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."998Please respect copyright.PENANA1amCLLQih9
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.998Please respect copyright.PENANAw9nNFCKkHK
"You know, going for 998Please respect copyright.PENANAVnjx3uVdNu
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAPTBoccVvg5
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 998Please respect copyright.PENANA3v671M6TEP
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 998Please respect copyright.PENANAsy5681JrHx
we try to do what we're familiar with."998Please respect copyright.PENANAv117IKpfuR
"Mmmm, I guess you're 998Please respect copyright.PENANAu50NEQFeFf
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 998Please respect copyright.PENANAPbXJDiUs9x
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 998Please respect copyright.PENANAljAKGzCAq5
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."998Please respect copyright.PENANAZskwSmG2ih
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.998Please respect copyright.PENANAyt1oRVnWkq
"Yep," Collins nodded 998Please respect copyright.PENANAqWNdJoSun1
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 998Please respect copyright.PENANATDKl6pXZJA
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 998Please respect copyright.PENANAPBJgepdDJJ
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 998Please respect copyright.PENANAIADrCbZWuV
good now, will it?"998Please respect copyright.PENANA1FHXv1afDK
Wow. This was literally 998Please respect copyright.PENANAen0rUwvpSJ
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 998Please respect copyright.PENANA4PUOeB59E7
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.998Please respect copyright.PENANAMDQDLU2Odl
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.998Please respect copyright.PENANAfnT3oR3fp5
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.998Please respect copyright.PENANAN1fHvO35sQ
I left the lounge at a 998Please respect copyright.PENANAjno7E6P4gP
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 998Please respect copyright.PENANAwWzgv9TYWu
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door998Please respect copyright.PENANApsAFjFxgJK
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.998Please respect copyright.PENANAPt0IXC0jiP
Zoey sat up with a start998Please respect copyright.PENANANexwwI3o2J
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 998Please respect copyright.PENANADVOMaZAQUr
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.998Please respect copyright.PENANAsWMCXtCY4s
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAASJyMe2zjc
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.998Please respect copyright.PENANAbgVcSplxlm
At first she didn't say a998Please respect copyright.PENANAR3zfn62sTD
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 998Please respect copyright.PENANAvcq3GpDXrD
looking at me with her eyes wide open.998Please respect copyright.PENANAVfJUNc65wM
"What did you say?" she asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAAdgnsyFUNg
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.998Please respect copyright.PENANAdwl8kdwTV7
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAbyUFhlinOb
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."998Please respect copyright.PENANAVPpf5RURdC
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"998Please respect copyright.PENANArGnczmMsO6
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."998Please respect copyright.PENANA0QJFlqgKGF
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."998Please respect copyright.PENANADFcKEsO0yT
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.998Please respect copyright.PENANAjB5bSM4Ncx
I went to wake up 998Please respect copyright.PENANA69gqzRT69G
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I998Please respect copyright.PENANAdKgZtBPKTi
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.998Please respect copyright.PENANAP7l0RBfIZs
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"998Please respect copyright.PENANA2bvrjeuRT5
"I gave a reasonable 998Please respect copyright.PENANAKuozSCgeUc
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 998Please respect copyright.PENANAUDLXLkWNWW
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAeuY4shwhVd
I noticed Christine 998Please respect copyright.PENANAiPp2rXnafA
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly998Please respect copyright.PENANAgQHVZG0DjM
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 998Please respect copyright.PENANAhKdO4aRJBd
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 998Please respect copyright.PENANAu8ERffswH5
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.998Please respect copyright.PENANAD7i2ovs421
When we all had our bags998Please respect copyright.PENANAYCHTa4u3hI
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 998Please respect copyright.PENANAmP1wY8fIp1
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 998Please respect copyright.PENANASq7rMdeRs4
looked at us.998Please respect copyright.PENANAGq6rilvbFz
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.998Please respect copyright.PENANAU6Dj5w74Du
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."998Please respect copyright.PENANA203T7Q9spF
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.998Please respect copyright.PENANALSVPu3cqDC
"I hate when you use my 998Please respect copyright.PENANA8iasv5a0sk
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 998Please respect copyright.PENANAQakiSrC3vk
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."998Please respect copyright.PENANAZM7LLF0XMo
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."998Please respect copyright.PENANAF30Ge6pSLy
Collins rolled his eyes 998Please respect copyright.PENANAV2ecnxAeXN
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 998Please respect copyright.PENANAQRgUvxmG1R
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."998Please respect copyright.PENANA2X3BWT1mNk
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAcWtVn6PUyY
"I would really love to,998Please respect copyright.PENANA1axtKtpUls
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass998Please respect copyright.PENANAOHLUslkHXL
by at lunchtime to check on you."998Please respect copyright.PENANAuy3gelL5A8
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.998Please respect copyright.PENANAxJglYsf7d6
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.998Please respect copyright.PENANAUghA9PHwDJ
"Nothing," said Christine.998Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6eSpi7EL5
I noticed Mike give 998Please respect copyright.PENANAwHt4XD1XJB
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut998Please respect copyright.PENANAj28OMOhC34
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 998Please respect copyright.PENANARzcHedLDG1
going on.998Please respect copyright.PENANALmsMfYuzj9
"It's just about the 998Please respect copyright.PENANACroopI3oCe
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 998Please respect copyright.PENANAwggiEEOlB9
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 998Please respect copyright.PENANAAwFYYlYLVP
happened."998Please respect copyright.PENANAGoAcp2hTrc
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."998Please respect copyright.PENANAm6Vfi7qCH6
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."998Please respect copyright.PENANAJA5DOi3Bea
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.998Please respect copyright.PENANATdAB5oVzrF
When we arrived at YG, 998Please respect copyright.PENANALXQFYLDlgS
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 998Please respect copyright.PENANA1TZ5vyP2wP
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.998Please respect copyright.PENANASALAVoGImH
"I already informed the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAdyQChPRk40
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 998Please respect copyright.PENANAyG30w394T5
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAorjaxvMu9k
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."998Please respect copyright.PENANAH0T5Zd6mOp
"I know you will. See you later."998Please respect copyright.PENANA8HBdAlUQv8
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.998Please respect copyright.PENANAFrbNXx8MJZ
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.998Please respect copyright.PENANAt9FIFKnTrF
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.998Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3WwtRM0kZ
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.998Please respect copyright.PENANAgE457SUNGZ
"Careful, Zoey," I said 998Please respect copyright.PENANAJHHdfTT5dI
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 998Please respect copyright.PENANAnMAtJh6kQI
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."998Please respect copyright.PENANAn5nSrEevFO
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.998Please respect copyright.PENANAt07TULcdJA
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAM40oLTazSc
"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.998Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8RzhpIA2j
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.998Please respect copyright.PENANAdWnY2YaNeX
"No," I said as the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAvAopmodaLV
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 998Please respect copyright.PENANAN9QxK8vQOj
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 998Please respect copyright.PENANA5dswtOsBTw
studios.998Please respect copyright.PENANAc2CIszrlwJ
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.998Please respect copyright.PENANA818Maqj20R
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."998Please respect copyright.PENANAp9GvNVbMqH
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."998Please respect copyright.PENANAsQwZh27BBd
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.998Please respect copyright.PENANASv0eF2yhg5
"That's different."998Please respect copyright.PENANA1PpsuECDZX
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."998Please respect copyright.PENANAgdBpSIykFf
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAkadDV71nUg
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."998Please respect copyright.PENANAlTRik1NIKK
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.998Please respect copyright.PENANAcjwPtsM3jR
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.998Please respect copyright.PENANAtnnh5YYFku
It was so much fun 998Please respect copyright.PENANAsyFzflolxE
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 998Please respect copyright.PENANAbFzt0J4flM
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 998Please respect copyright.PENANAXM8FgMcbcQ
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.998Please respect copyright.PENANAAcAgd080l0
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.998Please respect copyright.PENANACL1KDjHsZm
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.998Please respect copyright.PENANA39BKBna7J9
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."998Please respect copyright.PENANA40zNbotjXF
"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."998Please respect copyright.PENANAgE1IWNnoIm
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAiY8SIjRXw8
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.998Please respect copyright.PENANAXdB8c30uCs
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.998Please respect copyright.PENANATehqO2mJME
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."998Please respect copyright.PENANAk6dfItIAcG
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."998Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ6HlUarE6
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."998Please respect copyright.PENANAhr2liL5od0
"Come on, Zoey," I 998Please respect copyright.PENANA0iXv667hNf
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 998Please respect copyright.PENANA40Lr1NG4cr
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."998Please respect copyright.PENANA1DrVRxwQaA
"What song?"998Please respect copyright.PENANA50FnDJQEzi
I didn't answer when I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAERpxrYjnPd
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 998Please respect copyright.PENANA29R8rSNFQH
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAw6n43FTgtV
pill soon started to play.998Please respect copyright.PENANA934YdFyE0e
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.998Please respect copyright.PENANABL2onXuYUi
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.998Please respect copyright.PENANA6ogQtKKPtu
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.998Please respect copyright.PENANA9aLqbwUMrf
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.998Please respect copyright.PENANAymsxAO4VkX
It's been a while since I998Please respect copyright.PENANA7aWSvJcAzJ
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 998Please respect copyright.PENANA2cguPVxgUF
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 998Please respect copyright.PENANA4qR88TmpUS
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.998Please respect copyright.PENANAhAXOVU8htY
At the end of it, the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAuLGkqkuwBR
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 998Please respect copyright.PENANAuoTgJmwD46
our moves synchronising with one another.998Please respect copyright.PENANAmxhogKIIUX
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.998Please respect copyright.PENANAr8AoX6hT92
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."998Please respect copyright.PENANAYzFRSZp7PH
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.998Please respect copyright.PENANAu9W2o2M7UX
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.998Please respect copyright.PENANAh9nMgUA1nH
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAdGfXMsgDue
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."998Please respect copyright.PENANAz2uCDbmYk7
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."998Please respect copyright.PENANA96ilVp1aDH
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.998Please respect copyright.PENANA7IWnJDY2in
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.998Please respect copyright.PENANA5f3TNjNkC1
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAXMnLLcntNi
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.998Please respect copyright.PENANAlDuD1oX3sS
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"998Please respect copyright.PENANA6Yt6zzP6Cf
Mino and Seunghoon both 998Please respect copyright.PENANAEGumUTYxlJ
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 998Please respect copyright.PENANAxLQ1Zifi2r
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.998Please respect copyright.PENANAydXxGXURyz
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.998Please respect copyright.PENANAqj331HVtht
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.998Please respect copyright.PENANA7sUZGpFf7k
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."998Please respect copyright.PENANAsUazAqIieQ
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.998Please respect copyright.PENANAQKA0A4NJ3Z
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAoUvxZfXaoD
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 998Please respect copyright.PENANAKbMCvkyFfT
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."998Please respect copyright.PENANAzpL4j9frhO
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.998Please respect copyright.PENANAEn4JBbxNDq
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.998Please respect copyright.PENANA0SUuCv4Kjl
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAlgsrn8HEL3
I nudged my head to the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAFyNfJLGgSA
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 998Please respect copyright.PENANAGIRz3cx02Q
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the998Please respect copyright.PENANAEhlYMfEU80
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.998Please respect copyright.PENANAq2It2dpOGD
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.998Please respect copyright.PENANA7Hktvu9cuP
Seunghoon lips were 998Please respect copyright.PENANAzMtowqFX49
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was998Please respect copyright.PENANAjfPsguPmsR
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose998Please respect copyright.PENANAZjBOgeSkHp
focus.998Please respect copyright.PENANAYLckYsxhlh
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.998Please respect copyright.PENANAZXSFCezR1r
"The others might, but I998Please respect copyright.PENANAlHJqelf0jG
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going998Please respect copyright.PENANAGrPQcXP5wn
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 998Please respect copyright.PENANAvtnK6W9DrX
when TOP came to pick me up?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAjhum7v7Who
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."998Please respect copyright.PENANABFTMronKX5
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAvaXaq9TwbT
He again took a step closer. "Yes."998Please respect copyright.PENANA8jJq7jbJeB
Well, that made sense 998Please respect copyright.PENANALCvti1X798
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 998Please respect copyright.PENANA98uT35JHvK
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 998Please respect copyright.PENANAMfkhxptci0
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 998Please respect copyright.PENANA3KxxRD6CTb
seen.998Please respect copyright.PENANAeFPzJ8odRn
I hadn't realised it 998Please respect copyright.PENANAbkV0VTuNan
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking998Please respect copyright.PENANALyjLm65UEM
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 998Please respect copyright.PENANA9qD6Eg0TFs
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 998Please respect copyright.PENANAYT6rLSDEPT
uncomfortable.998Please respect copyright.PENANAQAoTeqTjPL
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.998Please respect copyright.PENANA1njgQI5nUr
"Well, yes," he 998Please respect copyright.PENANAD5ZYm4THnG
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 998Please respect copyright.PENANAt796UxCp8Q
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."998Please respect copyright.PENANAcDyn4Nlcsn
"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."998Please respect copyright.PENANALWAeJzStAJ
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.998Please respect copyright.PENANACQdxoAeWKM
I blushed and I was a 998Please respect copyright.PENANA5izh2Smzgn
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 998Please respect copyright.PENANAKYYCWU3dvB
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 998Please respect copyright.PENANAGyVzFqL1Ep
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 998Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vc8ppwGOE
celebrities.998Please respect copyright.PENANAlBHSHU1jBs
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAPi8bJKUOuh
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.998Please respect copyright.PENANA3M635NMvpj
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."998Please respect copyright.PENANAixX6PgUEco
"No, they don't," I lied998Please respect copyright.PENANAM82fN6IGgS
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 998Please respect copyright.PENANAhwIcFJOm9c
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 998Please respect copyright.PENANArUkgzvjhtd
others had arrived.998Please respect copyright.PENANApQEnhUBDPV
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.998Please respect copyright.PENANALSTWbdy0YA
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.998Please respect copyright.PENANAFbCccGcPMn
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.998Please respect copyright.PENANA41eGL855ri
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAY9suON2XMJ
"Awesome," I replied.998Please respect copyright.PENANA8koa1AI39Q
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.998Please respect copyright.PENANAm25Pu3s0NG
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.998Please respect copyright.PENANAMqPlDlhoH9
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.998Please respect copyright.PENANA8AeVEYedC7
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.998Please respect copyright.PENANA9imHFZccbH
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.998Please respect copyright.PENANAhFl48k7whN
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.998Please respect copyright.PENANAQLUQQDI47B
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."998Please respect copyright.PENANAhGkGEknkqL
"And besides, you and I 998Please respect copyright.PENANA7F8hwcLqBz
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 998Please respect copyright.PENANATEzSTfDAh0
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 998Please respect copyright.PENANAWwS4f2wqJz
and Seunghoon showed up."998Please respect copyright.PENANAEmEhOvvQJ8
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.998Please respect copyright.PENANAnZxQMqzdqk
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.998Please respect copyright.PENANAIh9bhSGZjB
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."998Please respect copyright.PENANAErJvttxmRM
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.998Please respect copyright.PENANA7AcrEwmjMa
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.998Please respect copyright.PENANAqh1s3sWsbp
Apparently, he wasn't 998Please respect copyright.PENANALWEObGq9Wu
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all998Please respect copyright.PENANA95oASEk8j7
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that998Please respect copyright.PENANAsxznBnEFXp
just made him look even more adorable.998Please respect copyright.PENANAfCdRN7lBP5
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.998Please respect copyright.PENANA0woVRHieo4
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."998Please respect copyright.PENANAHqh6GbeNhC
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.998Please respect copyright.PENANAtpCzMHnPRt
"Yes!" I heard the four 998Please respect copyright.PENANA2VbhzYBQIX
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 998Please respect copyright.PENANAmQRbwXo02p
at the track list. Then, something came to me.998Please respect copyright.PENANA0S67sduKDP
"Change of plans, Zoey,"998Please respect copyright.PENANAi9KesUMWgs
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want998Please respect copyright.PENANAFE3fACYf2f
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."998Please respect copyright.PENANAFMArFluBHC
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."998Please respect copyright.PENANAoSBuqshLxW
"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."998Please respect copyright.PENANAg4noVPybAM
"This just got interesting," said Mino.998Please respect copyright.PENANAr4ziOY6HUy
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAFdhhT66fym
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."998Please respect copyright.PENANAsYKd5oh9fT
"Taeyang is going to 998Please respect copyright.PENANAWwcNGErBDX
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 998Please respect copyright.PENANABeVWnHXZ0r
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."998Please respect copyright.PENANA6pXzU34Xlo
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."998Please respect copyright.PENANATIeWXiE7vE
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.998Please respect copyright.PENANArplJO7I9Wi
I tapped the track on my998Please respect copyright.PENANAG4673eJy3x
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 998Please respect copyright.PENANAMpLNSoKigD
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.998Please respect copyright.PENANAVg62F4LNH2
When the song started, I998Please respect copyright.PENANA70zVobmoHI
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 998Please respect copyright.PENANAPVuaaveIY7
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 998Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9yPRABkLZ
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAoRTLDpfIWH
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to998Please respect copyright.PENANAFcfxeqOTal
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 998Please respect copyright.PENANA948wjPj2dA
doing a pretty good with the moves too.998Please respect copyright.PENANA6XNVzPIWnm
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.998Please respect copyright.PENANAcQKgm6MOaZ
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.998Please respect copyright.PENANAOShkhFLPsx
"Whenever it came to the998Please respect copyright.PENANAjbFRXuXqzf
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 998Please respect copyright.PENANAOHUgXbOjGy
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."998Please respect copyright.PENANAirKZvfH71E
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."998Please respect copyright.PENANAT1Gnlbr4Ny
"Thanks, guys," I said.998Please respect copyright.PENANA8w8T8OveWf
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.998Please respect copyright.PENANAhEGD1bCEZP
"Now, coming to my 998Please respect copyright.PENANA2WA58i2dyE
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 998Please respect copyright.PENANAKOlnGcRmC0
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 998Please respect copyright.PENANAgOfcFyZZ7O
think is a better dancer?"998Please respect copyright.PENANADCLtA4lYRd
"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."998Please respect copyright.PENANA6RU68KzZw2
"Why?" Zoey asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANA30bIXkElg1
"I think you and I both 998Please respect copyright.PENANAiuK2mlzcg7
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 998Please respect copyright.PENANAKVoTc0ldyl
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 998Please respect copyright.PENANASFT6pjtyCJ
That counts for something, right?"998Please respect copyright.PENANA3R160spFAZ
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."998Please respect copyright.PENANAwyWk8IX9sl
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."998Please respect copyright.PENANA5m1LQQnguA
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.998Please respect copyright.PENANA0m6rX58TJS
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"998Please respect copyright.PENANA6cQYqf0xix
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAKJjBldkMQy
"Well, ya." Mike 998Please respect copyright.PENANAdZLVLqas1G
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 998Please respect copyright.PENANA3xm0CkIp2Q
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 998Please respect copyright.PENANAMcYnKyAQbl
sentence as he looked at Zoey.998Please respect copyright.PENANAhHJQ9TR17N
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."998Please respect copyright.PENANAzcCiKtkb0z
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.998Please respect copyright.PENANAyVn1A91bRY
"I also think it will be998Please respect copyright.PENANAjJMqPDMLTa
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 998Please respect copyright.PENANAELg33jP4KB
obviously bring out a better opinion."998Please respect copyright.PENANAg7qj7CYEKt
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.998Please respect copyright.PENANAt7DQtxhpG6
"Count me out of it," I 998Please respect copyright.PENANA6lGUTCKwPy
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAPJcJwfbMla
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."998Please respect copyright.PENANAAeDcfhQ4rf
"Fine, I'll create a 998Please respect copyright.PENANAm99O5LMaZ2
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how998Please respect copyright.PENANABjGkbUjYQF
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though998Please respect copyright.PENANAUoJTbgY24s
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."998Please respect copyright.PENANAqDLioQyRTy
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."998Please respect copyright.PENANAVE201cwPiu
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."998Please respect copyright.PENANAiCj0nDrD4U
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.998Please respect copyright.PENANABc45mKGbsN
Zoey and Mike soon got 998Please respect copyright.PENANAy2L97jPO1a
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 998Please respect copyright.PENANAXLzM9g57sQ
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 998Please respect copyright.PENANA1mxVn6WIsD
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance998Please respect copyright.PENANAjeF2J5Q014
battle.998Please respect copyright.PENANA2khEhoBOp2
I got my phone and the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAlSk4XouPpf
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAVygVLjX8Nf
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.998Please respect copyright.PENANAWvx6k2sWuv
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.998Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZB5tHcSmO
I turned to look at him 998Please respect copyright.PENANAWxV7mmE9EM
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 998Please respect copyright.PENANAEqvqf1ZSEW
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 998Please respect copyright.PENANAKtNSvXkv1j
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 998Please respect copyright.PENANA3jTeoozjvo
smile if they were to look at him.998Please respect copyright.PENANApG4S31Gc9n
"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."998Please respect copyright.PENANA8x9uK9LBjv
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.998Please respect copyright.PENANAMI7fsOMTey
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."998Please respect copyright.PENANAJAgto2fntz
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."998Please respect copyright.PENANAEvss0QB5QR
"You're right about that."998Please respect copyright.PENANA6XvQjNlJOo
I looked behind me with a998Please respect copyright.PENANApRGzQJaqhT
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 998Please respect copyright.PENANAV9Jt48iVu0
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 998Please respect copyright.PENANAoIQb6xzfhG
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 998Please respect copyright.PENANAH290syUz0t
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.998Please respect copyright.PENANAl0m8ConvJE
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 998Please respect copyright.PENANAv2dvZYmTLy
"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."998Please respect copyright.PENANAFSnIie9ITG
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"998Please respect copyright.PENANASLn19LNFmN
"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."998Please respect copyright.PENANAsV4fs39YeA
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."998Please respect copyright.PENANAnoOF6laper
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."998Please respect copyright.PENANAghWH4JxdP9
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.998Please respect copyright.PENANAfGN32Eud1I
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.998Please respect copyright.PENANAyyyP1NRB2m
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAEAYoL0F1yX
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."998Please respect copyright.PENANAZX2SfRPVJC
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANArFoMlSCawt
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."998Please respect copyright.PENANAKNdegwRPWP
"I sure hope so," I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAYsDXyiZ4Zw
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAp2toYdBKSJ
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."998Please respect copyright.PENANAYBWBssX6xm
"What about those two?" 998Please respect copyright.PENANAEcMWfgPUES
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 998Please respect copyright.PENANAdhPxutks0F
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 998Please respect copyright.PENANAQdEz9FIshD
soon.998Please respect copyright.PENANAPGcIoO6jjo
"They will notice when 998Please respect copyright.PENANAERgWwWucre
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 998Please respect copyright.PENANAwDCvvx7BQF
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"998Please respect copyright.PENANA3F2EgfAVTY
"Sure," he said with a smile.998Please respect copyright.PENANAsAs5axEvYN
Christine, Daniel and I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAskkqEgouyT
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 998Please respect copyright.PENANAhaWsM3XwGc
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.998Please respect copyright.PENANAVjZApYwn90
Twenty minutes later, I 998Please respect copyright.PENANASBDyoKUVg1
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 998Please respect copyright.PENANAkyOH4hkvag
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 998Please respect copyright.PENANABH7FkhpYpA
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 998Please respect copyright.PENANAT3QKnwdaBF
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 998Please respect copyright.PENANAbceayck4Rr
in the shower room, still patching herself up.998Please respect copyright.PENANAzxGyoP1Cgn
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.998Please respect copyright.PENANAkZHXbkMlD3
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."998Please respect copyright.PENANA41SOtMyMtJ
"Why? Anything special?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAgGOHhDANuW
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.998Please respect copyright.PENANAigyzjI5FAB
"Oh, nothing," I stared 998Please respect copyright.PENANADCFy5AisZ3
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 998Please respect copyright.PENANA9vMDwF2uT3
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 998Please respect copyright.PENANAnS3Fp3rSPe
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."998Please respect copyright.PENANAg0IwnrIaIH
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.998Please respect copyright.PENANATkXAR7C9Ts
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.998Please respect copyright.PENANAyuRxfDt3dp
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.998Please respect copyright.PENANA6PaQ830tds
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.998Please respect copyright.PENANAztmXzZYmDn
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."998Please respect copyright.PENANAXB56Cpbnsk
"What are you talking about?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAysy50TyZMw
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAMa8sxDpiWI
Christine's mouth fell 998Please respect copyright.PENANAVGLAgnac7y
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 998Please respect copyright.PENANAISedO8GbLU
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.998Please respect copyright.PENANAY3V6rcd19l
"No, I don't," she said.998Please respect copyright.PENANAIPJk9rgBy4
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAjwZq5UkRXq
do like him but only as a fan girl."998Please respect copyright.PENANALH48HEYa4l
"Please, I saw the way 998Please respect copyright.PENANANRhjQ6tTbG
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that998Please respect copyright.PENANACPXVdZpuyF
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."998Please respect copyright.PENANAq4gRO94d4F
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 998Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y8Jt4h9Sj
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of998Please respect copyright.PENANAE4NdA4XJFN
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 998Please respect copyright.PENANAwfTwP7MeXG
more."998Please respect copyright.PENANAVjhHtfIzBa
"Ya, right," I said as I998Please respect copyright.PENANAuuj4MtH2MZ
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 998Please respect copyright.PENANA46Co6l7eD0
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 998Please respect copyright.PENANAmplivbT0yE
weird look on your face."998Please respect copyright.PENANALEgEgKgx53
"What weird look?"998Please respect copyright.PENANACMiNsrsLju
"The jealous one."998Please respect copyright.PENANABEw0022BAB
"Spare me the drama, Sam."998Please respect copyright.PENANA3l8N4eqb5t
"If Zoey was the one 998Please respect copyright.PENANAioReOZnKma
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 998Please respect copyright.PENANAeYgHV2F1K9
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 998Please respect copyright.PENANAqO97yTo0Lu
Jinwoo."998Please respect copyright.PENANA3v1yYnea6B
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.998Please respect copyright.PENANA3saCAvPrYA
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"998Please respect copyright.PENANATGQ9acpZl9
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."998Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8fSbcKZ4Y
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.998Please respect copyright.PENANAUC0n6Rj2Hb
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.998Please respect copyright.PENANAMdWK8WGxd4
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.998Please respect copyright.PENANAQJBaiWYCEQ
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.998Please respect copyright.PENANAsjkkvO72yf
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.998Please respect copyright.PENANAfzoYBwVr33
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAYmwLpOyJfS
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.998Please respect copyright.PENANAa2DugCRhWK
Mike gave Christine a 998Please respect copyright.PENANA44HFjGNbn0
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 998Please respect copyright.PENANAqxLFurqt5P
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't998Please respect copyright.PENANAnPAsW8pmft
wrong about that.998Please respect copyright.PENANAzcqTup8Fa5
We decided to go back to998Please respect copyright.PENANAD7ZmYSrFOU
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 998Please respect copyright.PENANA5IH9nFUG7C
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,998Please respect copyright.PENANAoWFUi5YbSz
this happened:998Please respect copyright.PENANAIn1LL4l4Qr
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.998Please respect copyright.PENANAPVNtXwT5TU
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.998Please respect copyright.PENANAqiGuz12zhz
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.998Please respect copyright.PENANADtAiByG8IB
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."998Please respect copyright.PENANARqIkHMAEue
I wanted to frown at him998Please respect copyright.PENANA0pyI8weVFK
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 998Please respect copyright.PENANALo81kAVFun
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.998Please respect copyright.PENANApSUR2Jd5rE
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.998Please respect copyright.PENANA9JukIywF6A
I looked at Jinwoo and I998Please respect copyright.PENANAILrhcBdo1K
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 998Please respect copyright.PENANArZwOmXzcVY
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 998Please respect copyright.PENANAsjaGUn1Wfi
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.998Please respect copyright.PENANAC5BQ3aQbU6
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.998Please respect copyright.PENANA5hq4QqkwbB
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANA13n4gmjVFA
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.998Please respect copyright.PENANAKVb5KrHkXz
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."998Please respect copyright.PENANACaGTq6zuKj
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAeH2egd3KJK
"Good idea. Let's go."998Please respect copyright.PENANAB8KnmJAn0N
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANACCmMxs5ath
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.998Please respect copyright.PENANAxVt4xG6gvc
Before he could say 998Please respect copyright.PENANA1lJzfZaeVf
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I998Please respect copyright.PENANAjAYFVpVAI2
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped998Please respect copyright.PENANAKHxPbmB5AU
out of the room, he was snickering.998Please respect copyright.PENANA2Oky9wdMxV
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.998Please respect copyright.PENANAYIzumoiOM6
"Just because I'm his 998Please respect copyright.PENANA1TLnHQl75e
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being998Please respect copyright.PENANAq29BRQLdem
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAKJvDJax2x7
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."998Please respect copyright.PENANAHB0TySkIc2
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"998Please respect copyright.PENANANRFSBOxDM9
"Actually, it was only 998Please respect copyright.PENANA3qMsf7c8rW
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 998Please respect copyright.PENANAmRvoTX9NCQ
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."998Please respect copyright.PENANAA19jlt2z48
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.998Please respect copyright.PENANABU9i5Y5EHg
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.998Please respect copyright.PENANA2pojcszMiB
When we got to the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAgjHSr8NgZW
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 998Please respect copyright.PENANAfnGdVTXSN9
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 998Please respect copyright.PENANAEgHSSOJMnO
inside the elevator.998Please respect copyright.PENANADPOYYgxiVo
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.998Please respect copyright.PENANAFhTtgCjwMD
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."998Please respect copyright.PENANAI9GiEyl4H3
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.998Please respect copyright.PENANAqiWUc3UPJy
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.998Please respect copyright.PENANAsl99xbzYXt
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."998Please respect copyright.PENANA06L6Kxjd5C
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.998Please respect copyright.PENANAORk30Hcwlh
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAQTo6P9vzJc
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."998Please respect copyright.PENANAAgvsTX2vxi
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."998Please respect copyright.PENANAP1hVWoYCKu
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."998Please respect copyright.PENANApdMtAbHzgC
"Well, if you're 998Please respect copyright.PENANA26Bg0eGmgQ
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 998Please respect copyright.PENANA5VziYjUhBp
his face and I could tell something was up.998Please respect copyright.PENANAemIK8m0fT1
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"998Please respect copyright.PENANA3DwHSAtBGe
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."998Please respect copyright.PENANARt4WU4iDbx
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAnrEPozoVpS
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."998Please respect copyright.PENANAn5QGNl1abn
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.998Please respect copyright.PENANAHM8HNAWu8x
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."998Please respect copyright.PENANAR6scNYl5U6
"I came to see you guys 998Please respect copyright.PENANA8K1obBYgFx
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 998Please respect copyright.PENANA8GmcYAFHoS
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."998Please respect copyright.PENANAvXJUT6nEhR
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."998Please respect copyright.PENANAHasIsa5CWh
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."998Please respect copyright.PENANAYWkzv1HOjO
"Okay, then you go and 998Please respect copyright.PENANAIdZLANdFRL
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino998Please respect copyright.PENANAafu0VAmrGh
to get Zoey as fast as we could."998Please respect copyright.PENANA55DnGRvTYB
"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.998Please respect copyright.PENANANnOQxyPMiT
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.998Please respect copyright.PENANAlfCTrRkWdk
We headed downstairs to 998Please respect copyright.PENANAVfD8XQrdzy
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 998Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z1LmKuoUl
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.998Please respect copyright.PENANAa8rf0Z6MOl
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAY766EYY6QW
"Trying to look good," 998Please respect copyright.PENANASop13ACtm4
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 998Please respect copyright.PENANAV9cbYq5kaV
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 998Please respect copyright.PENANAflfujtKxac
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."998Please respect copyright.PENANAkVeXNzHK4R
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.998Please respect copyright.PENANAPdDfoJkkKl
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.998Please respect copyright.PENANA8z9umBQAjZ
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."998Please respect copyright.PENANANxcNh0S0nG
"You're kidding, right?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAhj96RiUPZR
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."998Please respect copyright.PENANAlliSXpq8Qw
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAhf6uwVx0Al
"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."998Please respect copyright.PENANAI4HXmlR1fa
Just as I turned around 998Please respect copyright.PENANAiOQmoKmBCF
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 998Please respect copyright.PENANA5V6gYRAWsl
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 998Please respect copyright.PENANAov1VRIJ4t7
the the floor we were on.998Please respect copyright.PENANAMHsgFqIDpn
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.998Please respect copyright.PENANAK0MQIbp1WG
Just as we turned round a998Please respect copyright.PENANAhUJ8TQhJdR
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 998Please respect copyright.PENANAXT5Kg4MT0O
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAUhAL9OMQpg
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 998Please respect copyright.PENANAxc06pwDvxb
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.998Please respect copyright.PENANADp3FvvVy76
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANA3K0ug9chh3
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.998Please respect copyright.PENANABNI4vQQEW3
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAMDtjyZmdy6
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."998Please respect copyright.PENANAOE8e1XymkD
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAZiiq8ksLsd
I didn't say anything as998Please respect copyright.PENANAAawAuXx4eG
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 998Please respect copyright.PENANATvynWdrUcu
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 998Please respect copyright.PENANAEE2fJ6y6Wz
Hyun-suk's voice.998Please respect copyright.PENANAXEcJSQapPT
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.998Please respect copyright.PENANAPjEDmi40SE
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.998Please respect copyright.PENANA3eowj58HkR
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.998Please respect copyright.PENANAT2Abnjta2r
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.998Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jqm85DIBv
I checked around with my998Please respect copyright.PENANAX5DxcDeDp8
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 998Please respect copyright.PENANA5VMddk3lFQ
the light went on in the tiny room.998Please respect copyright.PENANAzY9qQ6cWxA
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAL6nF02uOpr
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.998Please respect copyright.PENANA9wNbhWHLOa
I shook my head. "They are still there."998Please respect copyright.PENANAnM3iCc1Wax
Mino and Zoey both 998Please respect copyright.PENANAj5ebL9HuJe
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 998Please respect copyright.PENANArEYDJuawKo
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAj92cnrA1ud
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 998Please respect copyright.PENANAIFP9rMpfkK
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 998Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4vAADS5Ar
behind me.998Please respect copyright.PENANAQaGJwNqVVL
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.998Please respect copyright.PENANAivQdXLnKpI
"I think they are gone," I whispered.998Please respect copyright.PENANA441Lv8OWsw
"Try and check," Mino whispered.998Please respect copyright.PENANADwreNcWrqT
I took hold of the door 998Please respect copyright.PENANAbH0VGmoY9T
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 998Please respect copyright.PENANAW3BWUsSm6W
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of998Please respect copyright.PENANAPOPLYwTgoW
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.998Please respect copyright.PENANAmMTN3fBhf5
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.998Please respect copyright.PENANAHdZANqfxYV
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.998Please respect copyright.PENANA4DNT6rkRZG
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.998Please respect copyright.PENANA6Nv9pzsbAI
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.998Please respect copyright.PENANARW8dcFvNqK
The three of us were 998Please respect copyright.PENANAKPYqQGxI3U
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 998Please respect copyright.PENANACOtn3Z5zX2
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was998Please respect copyright.PENANA7xf3MEmfZD
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 998Please respect copyright.PENANAK4dehl0BTf
heard the phone ring.998Please respect copyright.PENANALm3BUyhR4X
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.998Please respect copyright.PENANAqx0BienejH
I quickly took the bag 998Please respect copyright.PENANANt33m4uvVG
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 998Please respect copyright.PENANAHvW4RV3d0e
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 998Please respect copyright.PENANA57OGRbCdLL
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 998Please respect copyright.PENANACoFmOyi8IZ
anything strange."998Please respect copyright.PENANAmB6T5uPuBY
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANA7DKilRv6KF
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."998Please respect copyright.PENANAoaaxgUVjic
Mino and Zoey quickly 998Please respect copyright.PENANAYMZxPTPBX4
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 998Please respect copyright.PENANAQkP5m7bDM1
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 998Please respect copyright.PENANApeamsu7cVd
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 998Please respect copyright.PENANAmA3oWCv6FR
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 998Please respect copyright.PENANAW4Rj7LzLdw
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.998Please respect copyright.PENANAi8d0vsOH5g
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."998Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0N4cZb5tx
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.998Please respect copyright.PENANAMPIDFUpWtE
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."998Please respect copyright.PENANAmbuBYWCdXN
I gave them a little 998Please respect copyright.PENANAEw0EBSQTPJ
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 998Please respect copyright.PENANAzkCyC8vW4m
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 998Please respect copyright.PENANAF4nIH6Fhrw
the place.998Please respect copyright.PENANA62gXt4vFGK
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAiDdB4EDzWL
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.998Please respect copyright.PENANAX9mCnkHaiP
"I must say, I watched 998Please respect copyright.PENANAVfylt5ONVP
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 998Please respect copyright.PENANAm49QF2fzRG
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 998Please respect copyright.PENANAETaVQ51imm
black suit.998Please respect copyright.PENANAFBJeUb6soH
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.998Please respect copyright.PENANAx02EnYEZs6
"You really do have good manners," said other man.998Please respect copyright.PENANAaWphl2DUb2
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.998Please respect copyright.PENANA4hTdlZLEI1
"I always do my best," I said politely.998Please respect copyright.PENANAwK5sxZchbZ
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.998Please respect copyright.PENANAd9xr0gGYwK
I felt my eyes were 998Please respect copyright.PENANAHJTyrMmOjG
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 998Please respect copyright.PENANAx4gfKA9BQ6
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 998Please respect copyright.PENANAaqie3sPf5C
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 998Please respect copyright.PENANAzq6ez68uOF
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.998Please respect copyright.PENANAOV0ZmE3W97
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"998Please respect copyright.PENANAvZ25HB3lJE
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me998Please respect copyright.PENANAj17l9EJnSv
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 998Please respect copyright.PENANAXAx2MUR4SD
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"998Please respect copyright.PENANALrc5QPtEer
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.998Please respect copyright.PENANA7oyuarbW4o
"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."998Please respect copyright.PENANAFD6IrT9Hfl
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.998Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9wnD5lMXQ
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.998Please respect copyright.PENANAV9XJh51xPU
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."998Please respect copyright.PENANADI6FSjf6RQ
I smiled as I bowed my 998Please respect copyright.PENANA2KttMbATik
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 998Please respect copyright.PENANAWz079aNZ9k
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 998Please respect copyright.PENANAMJhMDfDV1k
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I998Please respect copyright.PENANAksVhC4C92R
was until now.998Please respect copyright.PENANA7AOZBRPIfx
I quickly ran to the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAoWedyZ9aNy
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 998Please respect copyright.PENANAlXbSu3HqsT
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 998Please respect copyright.PENANAnIac9Zb0mE
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 998Please respect copyright.PENANAxRoH6cfflI
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 998Please respect copyright.PENANAoM7J065HI5
see.998Please respect copyright.PENANAJrtfuodxW7
"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.998Please respect copyright.PENANAgWQGHdsjaQ
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."998Please respect copyright.PENANA0PcpS8FVMp
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.998Please respect copyright.PENANAykasYnXnPM
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.998Please respect copyright.PENANAEEVyTe6kKK
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.998Please respect copyright.PENANAoACrGEsuC5
"Because I missed you."998Please respect copyright.PENANA8jr5tEfLEp
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.998Please respect copyright.PENANA41ry8IeCPJ
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.998Please respect copyright.PENANAcgvTMOsLgG
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.998Please respect copyright.PENANAxmuXayFbR4
When we reached the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAbz7p7OuzWE
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 998Please respect copyright.PENANAvTREHt4RsS
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAsFsHN8QtbM
lobby.998Please respect copyright.PENANAudVRlioLY3
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.998Please respect copyright.PENANAazEHASAtIx
"I think I've an idea," I998Please respect copyright.PENANAbCBZyf4AXE
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going998Please respect copyright.PENANAgHbLucbwfm
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAzzHNF8WQ5j
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."998Please respect copyright.PENANA9WJyDVfgwF
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.998Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ktx6VivjU
I rolled my eyes. I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAENKNWFrubx
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself998Please respect copyright.PENANAYmIoVHngJh
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAP1MuzCRFWB
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.998Please respect copyright.PENANAhPb2hx2VXg
"Because I'm smart 998Please respect copyright.PENANAIHqpz0UURQ
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such998Please respect copyright.PENANAbp3N6HA8Ay
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAU0CSAxBrYq
Mino and TOP smiled at 998Please respect copyright.PENANA1BzeItstq0
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 998Please respect copyright.PENANA3kKIGVPvbE
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 998Please respect copyright.PENANAAxjmjmW7or
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.998Please respect copyright.PENANA0JG6PcXjF1
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."998Please respect copyright.PENANAHSyt7IL34w
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAQhnTpzAk1i
"If we don't take the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAXpCcKijg8L
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 998Please respect copyright.PENANAKTW2uI204u
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."998Please respect copyright.PENANAMAcG9mpAOc
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.998Please respect copyright.PENANAkhXTOGDooT
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.998Please respect copyright.PENANAHxbboSh69v
"You guys go right now 998Please respect copyright.PENANAUjr3H4BVdt
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAdNX0w7qkqv
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."998Please respect copyright.PENANAkrR2b6DdpH
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.998Please respect copyright.PENANAYTuglSrxOY
"Because I need you around."998Please respect copyright.PENANAc5FKaHIpTh
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.998Please respect copyright.PENANAEYcPevN9uW
Seungyoon and his group 998Please respect copyright.PENANAhkmfnJNnOt
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 998Please respect copyright.PENANAKS5E1EbQFj
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 998Please respect copyright.PENANAk78ZrNs6Y1
for ten minutes.998Please respect copyright.PENANAhtvO0WyG0W
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAfNzcYeT8Oa
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.998Please respect copyright.PENANA9JXKHhggSa
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.998Please respect copyright.PENANAH94ACDcmh0
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.998Please respect copyright.PENANA4n46h3q8WN
"So if you guys are 998Please respect copyright.PENANA3cyVGveyv3
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 998Please respect copyright.PENANATy1JnfYuVU
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAWh1tWekLhc
"Why do you ask?" I asked.998Please respect copyright.PENANAwdmWq3gDz2
"You guys can't just 998Please respect copyright.PENANAKvAY5Dze69
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 998Please respect copyright.PENANAm3nFGinyNf
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 998Please respect copyright.PENANA7mxTW74zXY
managers will find out what's going on."998Please respect copyright.PENANAZpz8hWCRyo
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.998Please respect copyright.PENANAo65bbI1SIC
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.998Please respect copyright.PENANAbgJuIuaPIs
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.998Please respect copyright.PENANAVmdXDATtPX
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."998Please respect copyright.PENANAskXVhSBGZI
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."998Please respect copyright.PENANAT4VX2DZyLE
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.998Please respect copyright.PENANAzLGpPgO3mn
The others quickly 998Please respect copyright.PENANA2KIkkqvJbO
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 998Please respect copyright.PENANANupytK7hBW
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 998Please respect copyright.PENANAvt1eLWTUXC
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 998Please respect copyright.PENANA5FofePALG5
worried that they might have hit their heads.998Please respect copyright.PENANA5nGwPt9bmP
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.998Please respect copyright.PENANA8W9bcOXY98
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."998Please respect copyright.PENANAanxUdaqUTT
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.998Please respect copyright.PENANAtejdSiy7H6
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.998Please respect copyright.PENANAsKREbmbp3E
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.998Please respect copyright.PENANA8riqWJgkIb
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"998Please respect copyright.PENANA2xOamPxpcZ
As soon as I turned 998Please respect copyright.PENANAbQeqmaVBug
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the998Please respect copyright.PENANAAzKl1QofMa
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 998Please respect copyright.PENANA0gaXRXnxdO
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 998Please respect copyright.PENANAPV4UiUVQm9
behind me paused ready for the worst.998Please respect copyright.PENANAFd1RhqASsX
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.998Please respect copyright.PENANAwRXHxgvDDg
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."998Please respect copyright.PENANArkWjAJDLt5
"Well, this day just got998Please respect copyright.PENANAk7YROZQyeg
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about998Please respect copyright.PENANAquGweYMKJ1
it. I couldn't blame him for that.998Please respect copyright.PENANAofFwbkTbW1
Coming out of the 998Please respect copyright.PENANAHzROSNHapN
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 998Please respect copyright.PENANAl3TEjdvk41
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 998Please respect copyright.PENANA6C3zDKo76s
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.998Please respect copyright.PENANAemdmStMe8v
I felt like I had stood 998Please respect copyright.PENANAL3y9sm4Hln
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged998Please respect copyright.PENANAeeaH37lHh8
me on the shoulder to get my attention.998Please respect copyright.PENANAUsTmwxwGka
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.998Please respect copyright.PENANAzoP0Q9MfZA
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.998Please respect copyright.PENANAN1q8oRLqHe
