“It’s just a sprain that will heal in a day or two,” said the handsome, male Korean doctor who wore a causal blue golf shirt with white chinos and matching white canvas. Anyone who would see him now wouldn’t think twice that he is a medical doctor. “If she doesn’t strain herself too much, she’ll be fine.”441Please respect copyright.PENANA6tKhg3ykyj

441Please respect copyright.PENANAEFJQGP1oi1
“That’s good news,” said Collins feeling relieved as he turned to look at Christine who sat on the couch, with a foot on a foot supporter in front of her. She looked at him with a stoic look on her face. “Luckily, it’s nothing serious.”441Please respect copyright.PENANAK1TXTofMWH
441Please respect copyright.PENANAe7G3EQvmMB
441Please respect copyright.PENANAqzSEdmMagx
“I told you I’m fine,” said Christine. Collins gave her a look that told her to be quiet. Christine read it and quickly looked up at the ceiling like she hadn’t said anything.441Please respect copyright.PENANAH62txi8e0X
441Please respect copyright.PENANARpKomr8BIw
441Please respect copyright.PENANAfMyBEH8X6M
“I can recommend a good painkiller to ease off the pain,” said the doctor. “She’ll be fine. I’ll be taking my leave now, that’s if everyone else is okay.”441Please respect copyright.PENANAsjGvIV7HeE
441Please respect copyright.PENANASmzAzZhBJg
441Please respect copyright.PENANAHryrynXhqz
“Thank you, doctor,” said Lee as she stood up from the other couch she had been sitting on. “The other Toxins are fine. If you ask me, most of them are as tough as nails.”441Please respect copyright.PENANAawlvH3GpHZ

441Please respect copyright.PENANAHl33zJIn41

441Please respect copyright.PENANAmGDH8tLWO2
441Please respect copyright.PENANAzQvIntPDy5

441Please respect copyright.PENANAH5fSviSwnO

Before the doctor and Lee could turn around to leave the lounge, Daniel and I quickly left our spot at the entrance of the lounge and silently ran down the hall, and entered one of the rooms with the door slightly open to peak in the hall. Mike and Zoey who hid on the other side pretended as if they were approaching the elevator, looking occupied with phones in their hands.441Please respect copyright.PENANAkC3nbXG4PK
441Please respect copyright.PENANA7FQxPZAQCY
441Please respect copyright.PENANAT62Gpov1Vk
Lee and the doctor soon appeared in the hall, heading for the elevator and bypassing Zoey and Mike who said goodbye as Lee and the doctor entered the elevator. As soon as the doors closed, Daniel and I quietly ran out of the room, while Mike and Zoey also made their way back to the lounge.441Please respect copyright.PENANABzZ7EEypnU
441Please respect copyright.PENANARVbDv3Zz8P

441Please respect copyright.PENANAPQtPFRGfRg
441Please respect copyright.PENANAXiLdLGMbfp
“I know, you don’t have to explain yourselves. Johnny is going to be a problem for you now that he’s here. How did he find you guys, anyway? You didn’t post anything on social media about you going out for a movie, did you?”441Please respect copyright.PENANAJJNmB6ai9b
441Please respect copyright.PENANAgFlEnqifCv
441Please respect copyright.PENANAOkHE9lY8dC

441Please respect copyright.PENANAjb91GzVLAu

441Please respect copyright.PENANAfzD3Nj3Fqa
441Please respect copyright.PENANAMqRPaVxcDL
“Tighten up security wherever you go,” Collins replied. “We don’t want people knowing much about Johnny at such a time, so we’ll have to keep this hidden from the fans as much as possible.”441Please respect copyright.PENANAfsKj9GEOKo
441Please respect copyright.PENANAMOdc1K5AWQ

For those of us who stood at the door of lounge, we moved aside for Collins to pass as he went down the hall to his room. In turn, we entered the lounge. Zoey and I went to sit on either side of Christine, while the boys went to sit on the other couch.441Please respect copyright.PENANALTaFQPKuZj

The five of us all started to talk at random, saying that we didn't know why she left and that we didn't do anything. A look of confusion soon over Collins and he soon raised his hand to indicate that we should all stop talking.441Please respect copyright.PENANAMOdpd1EHE9

441Please respect copyright.PENANAh3fSWAK6k7
“But if we keep on doing that, they will get even more upset,” I said. I turned to look at Christine. “How’s your foot? Do you need help standing up?”441Please respect copyright.PENANAapEPPkIhCu
441Please respect copyright.PENANA4LCqYGrKBF
441Please respect copyright.PENANAWNsx5S1PSr
“No, I'm good,” said Christine. She put her foot on the foot stand on to the floor, then she slowly tried to stand on her own. She did so with little effort. “I’ll manage.” She smiled brightly.441Please respect copyright.PENANAUoAhn5INY5

In ten minutes, we were already downstairs in the cars arranged for us. The five of us Toxins, Lee and Collins were in one car while the security detail were in two other cars behind us. Collins wasn’t joking when he said they will work on security. Hopefully, it won’t be too obvious to the fans or the paparazzi, especially the paparazzi.441Please respect copyright.PENANA2GeWVPb1rA

“Do you think Johnny will have a chance to get near us?” Daniel asked as he looked out the window, watching the people and the buildings as the car drove through town.441Please respect copyright.PENANAPS4NBARCcp
441Please respect copyright.PENANANwdI1hRdhn
441Please respect copyright.PENANACIxA2dN2jO

441Please respect copyright.PENANArepR6vtUq3
441Please respect copyright.PENANAV8HeMgpdOu

441Please respect copyright.PENANAeG4EmRIJJ6

441Please respect copyright.PENANALp5dazMxjL
441Please respect copyright.PENANAfi7OgymyZP
The five of us didn’t say a thing. It’s exactly what we had been talking about a few minutes ago back at the hotel.441Please respect copyright.PENANAm0TC7TKUCQ
441Please respect copyright.PENANANAzNSGRPC8
441Please respect copyright.PENANACv7MnPgn4W
“Lee’s right,” said Collins. “The issue with Jehan wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did because we didn’t take a whiff of what’s going on. We let it slide, but this time around, I don’t want any of your silly plans taking course. Is that clear?”441Please respect copyright.PENANAi6Uc4DDF28
441Please respect copyright.PENANAlo0cBNmLYk
441Please respect copyright.PENANAuiPMxjXLyw
The five of us exchanged looks. Lee and Collins are really on to us now. They don’t have to worry, though. We already decided not to do anything about it.441Please respect copyright.PENANAcy6JAGPZbL
441Please respect copyright.PENANA9Il7nUtDpU

441Please respect copyright.PENANArKETi2ew5u

441Please respect copyright.PENANAyufg1m9VRG

441Please respect copyright.PENANAYcikdgPXLA
441Please respect copyright.PENANAhxVSCsGsxv
“No, but she can’t risk herself with strenuous activity,” I answered. “That being said, you better go take a seat, Christine.” I came to stand next to her.441Please respect copyright.PENANAUnlGnkBClq
441Please respect copyright.PENANAQtdGXDUvDa
441Please respect copyright.PENANAVJmHAKro0O
“Sure,” she started to make her way to the couch with Seunghoon and Mino stepping aside for her to pass.441Please respect copyright.PENANAVIkZnSPlZ4

441Please respect copyright.PENANAUj8U59PeNP
441Please respect copyright.PENANAF5cnuAIRtL
She sat on the couch and Jinwoo sat next to her, but not too close. I wanted to say something cute about the two of them, but I controlled myself as I remembered that I’m not supposed to.441Please respect copyright.PENANApyt9WLlXCe

441Please respect copyright.PENANAnV0ooQLnTX
441Please respect copyright.PENANAMOspAxlSpJ

"I thought you would never ask," said Zoey as she excitedly turned to look at Mino who sat next to her. Before she could utter a word, she noticed that a lot of us were looking at her with perplexed looks. Just a minute ago, she looked like she was about to punch the wall. Now she looked cheerful.441Please respect copyright.PENANAPCA3WCj9Uo

441Please respect copyright.PENANAMtMSJljnvS
"Sam and Mike can tell you," she said, as she let out a funny laugh. It’s so unlike her. There could only be one reason for this, and some of us aren’t going to point it out just yet.441Please respect copyright.PENANA1QdRpH6WrC
441Please respect copyright.PENANAsth7Y4DKqR

441Please respect copyright.PENANAT6Km3xnzsn
441Please respect copyright.PENANAH5MDOSR8o4

441Please respect copyright.PENANADkjP4lxOGc

441Please respect copyright.PENANAuCDswutYMu
441Please respect copyright.PENANAAkh2IId0pG
Lisa pulled out her phone from her fancy blue purse and called G-Dragon. She even made sure to put the phone on loud speaker for everyone to hear.441Please respect copyright.PENANAvYcPJFM3ns
441Please respect copyright.PENANAszbRxNKXJg
441Please respect copyright.PENANAXYftt5p6aw
His phone on the other end started to ring. We all waited in silence for what felt like a minute when Zoey said:441Please respect copyright.PENANACopqqjElla

441Please respect copyright.PENANAtoyRM8G58q

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:441Please respect copyright.PENANAapUdEmb5V2
441Please respect copyright.PENANA1eJch3Edhl

441Please respect copyright.PENANAAg368Hg7BK

There came a knock at the door. We told the person to come in. It's Lee, and she came in with someone: Bang Yong-guk.441Please respect copyright.PENANAg2Ow9U8DXy
441Please respect copyright.PENANATGGADFTkGD
441Please respect copyright.PENANAgBNrhNAS3w
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.441Please respect copyright.PENANAIy5fQm2ns3
441Please respect copyright.PENANAOLrePgEDR0
441Please respect copyright.PENANAogkzFgLZJY
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.441Please respect copyright.PENANA0bZvPPG4rx
441Please respect copyright.PENANAsRu6X8ZH5T
441Please respect copyright.PENANAnhOky6J03A
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.441Please respect copyright.PENANADJUg6YWngn
441Please respect copyright.PENANA6tLDCiZLBG
441Please respect copyright.PENANAk0RZERG0om

441Please respect copyright.PENANAttDAG1nKoB
441Please respect copyright.PENANA9jO4cW7YZW
"Hi, Yong-guk," I said as I stood up from my seat and also approached. "For a second there I thought you weren't coming."441Please respect copyright.PENANA4h4TyitsCr
441Please respect copyright.PENANAujVa8h8fj6
441Please respect copyright.PENANAnLBu05kTSM
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.441Please respect copyright.PENANAq23tZkqV7M
441Please respect copyright.PENANAPnPhKp8NDQ
441Please respect copyright.PENANAwPcKHuTMI0
I felt someone quickly rush up to me standing by my side. And in the process, pushing me a little. I held my ground so that I wouldn't find myself falling over.441Please respect copyright.PENANACdnFGZNu7r
441Please respect copyright.PENANAq1AieunUSr
441Please respect copyright.PENANAOdUazJOkMc
"Hello," Seunghoon greeted Yong-guk in Korean. I raised an eyebrow as I realised that he had his arm around my neck. I didn't want to admit what I'm seeing, but it couldn't be helped. Was he trying to mark his territory when he didn't have one?441Please respect copyright.PENANAVvPz9diBKC
441Please respect copyright.PENANALaI7ypAniT
441Please respect copyright.PENANAvne1RbEml3
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.441Please respect copyright.PENANARHXTtlXSSD
441Please respect copyright.PENANAoBCMoMlqFJ
441Please respect copyright.PENANAsNc3SnZikk
Everyone else came over to greet Yong-guk. Lee told us to settle down for the managers and the music producer assigned to help with our album will be arriving any time soon. We did likewise. And members from both Blackpink and WINNER couldn’t help but ask Bang Yong-guk some questions about the song.441Please respect copyright.PENANAL4zPwiisZY
441Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q2ch4KTdj
441Please respect copyright.PENANArv18LGPM6k

441Please respect copyright.PENANAKGyAvw8TLZ
441Please respect copyright.PENANA0DyG681zIo
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.441Please respect copyright.PENANAP432DCWuWp
441Please respect copyright.PENANA574uznt4dF
441Please respect copyright.PENANAqbrfsTSzjt
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.441Please respect copyright.PENANAALiXOQ4fHt
441Please respect copyright.PENANAWH086qR8zz
441Please respect copyright.PENANAmKv68iicMq
"You don’t have to worry about him," said Seunghoon as he leaned in a little closer on my shoulder. "He can take care of himself."441Please respect copyright.PENANAl6aWt8XG9E
441Please respect copyright.PENANA3ff3pHDjE6
441Please respect copyright.PENANADFnRRPbiI6
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.441Please respect copyright.PENANAbj1exbujry
441Please respect copyright.PENANAiDi5XSIIg8
441Please respect copyright.PENANAb5UFJGvAxY
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."441Please respect copyright.PENANAZwQUlf33bh
441Please respect copyright.PENANAdHOIlmNXia
441Please respect copyright.PENANAwtjdhOW291
"Not when I’m around," said Lee who stood in the corner of the room. For a minute there we forgot that she is still around.441Please respect copyright.PENANAKMEAqL2SXE
441Please respect copyright.PENANAS5bVg3eHl0
441Please respect copyright.PENANAtLKbr1U9Dm
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.441Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dqll6jsQu
441Please respect copyright.PENANAfNCtig8YsV
441Please respect copyright.PENANAazLeywr8E1
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."441Please respect copyright.PENANAYfQDpIvYtL
441Please respect copyright.PENANAaW80KRE7bJ
441Please respect copyright.PENANA3J7kWbA5Mq
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.441Please respect copyright.PENANAJ65XtUen8w
441Please respect copyright.PENANATA0HVYthjw
441Please respect copyright.PENANA4gkqPzzaMU
Lee gave them a look that made them stare at the floor. The managers better get here soon. I could tell just how anxious everyone is that they can’t wait to hear the song.441Please respect copyright.PENANA0GSESPX1Vx
441Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ97FAVBMe
441Please respect copyright.PENANAOeK0FzA9PF
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.441Please respect copyright.PENANAzONpO9BHmj
441Please respect copyright.PENANAOn7XERihIZ
441Please respect copyright.PENANAonFy03tiRI
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."441Please respect copyright.PENANAtHWpmtBj7v
441Please respect copyright.PENANAmdjPx0JTrg
441Please respect copyright.PENANALR6yYLZDZ9
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."441Please respect copyright.PENANAlu5IHm3aoH
441Please respect copyright.PENANASMlJuY9xrY
441Please respect copyright.PENANAfEyWCOuiSb
We didn’t have to wait any further as there came a knock at the door and Lee told whoever was there to come in. The two managers and a man who I think is the producer, walked into the room. We all stood up and bowed our heads.441Please respect copyright.PENANAOYrnJ5OkGI
441Please respect copyright.PENANAX4WvnWTYnK
441Please respect copyright.PENANAHbyAZJ6AyH
"Sit down everyone," Yang Hyun-suk instructed and we did likewise. "I see everyone is here. I’m also happy to welcome our visitor, Bang Yong-guk."441Please respect copyright.PENANAQSsdaJzHi3
441Please respect copyright.PENANAvojjyWh9zg
441Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZCvRE5i89
Bang Yong-guk stood up from his seat and bowed to the managers and the producer. He also thanked them for inviting him to the studio. Yang Hyun-suk also introduced the man who stood beside Collins as the producer who will help out with the album.441Please respect copyright.PENANAvwHhlpwXXf
441Please respect copyright.PENANA2F5U8jK3qJ
441Please respect copyright.PENANA20QWx4hoqo
"Okay, without further ado, we can dive right to what we came here to do," said Yang Hyun-suk. He started to make his way to the console and the music booth.441Please respect copyright.PENANAaiGF8GFUTy
441Please respect copyright.PENANAcvU0xbwtlc
441Please respect copyright.PENANAGSItjcdsaP
When we stood up to follow the manager and the producer, I couldn’t help but stay still while the rest went on ahead. I didn’t even realise that Bang Yong-guk still stood beside me until he spoke.441Please respect copyright.PENANAHHXohLbXN4
441Please respect copyright.PENANAshEMbNIXGy
441Please respect copyright.PENANALCHpyvjUyA
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.441Please respect copyright.PENANAcaBoZMLUne
441Please respect copyright.PENANAHMHW4rTric
441Please respect copyright.PENANAGYfYamE9XM
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"441Please respect copyright.PENANAvE8bKLdRnu
441Please respect copyright.PENANAOSiF4W1jnX
441Please respect copyright.PENANAMvyWDP1Ezb
He held my shoulders to turn me so I could look at him. I didn't expect him to be so close, and looking at him, straight on like this made me blush.441Please respect copyright.PENANAl6OjRNSggp
441Please respect copyright.PENANAmLGmbd6rcu
441Please respect copyright.PENANAT79dTW6l5q
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.441Please respect copyright.PENANAFjwD7LYCzz
441Please respect copyright.PENANApLhOgUP6rD
441Please respect copyright.PENANAhhdQxnmKwI
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:441Please respect copyright.PENANA9SJzp8EOJA
441Please respect copyright.PENANAKQS9gaCcZo
441Please respect copyright.PENANA4yxM9kGq0R
"Yes, I do."441Please respect copyright.PENANAB2wL58b4mD
441Please respect copyright.PENANAU4ekckKzJ5
441Please respect copyright.PENANAzI1B4P7nKf
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.441Please respect copyright.PENANApXsI73dsRB
441Please respect copyright.PENANAY57jM10dzg
441Please respect copyright.PENANAALMtDDOUTy
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.441Please respect copyright.PENANA4Cabg27laA
441Please respect copyright.PENANADjbjWQrbMF
441Please respect copyright.PENANAeX8fsO4Tx3
His warm hand around mine assured me that I shouldn't worry about what’s going to happen with the song. Even if the managers weren't going to like it, it's going to be okay.441Please respect copyright.PENANAt9V413PUyQ
441Please respect copyright.PENANAAnOoZlyoL5
441Please respect copyright.PENANAAKpbiZxGSQ
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
