“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.”471Please respect copyright.PENANAzuIdKpGdp2

“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.”471Please respect copyright.PENANAsyyUj85AWq
471Please respect copyright.PENANAzJcBH4u6vG
471Please respect copyright.PENANAZDRx8CGPkC
“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.471Please respect copyright.PENANArH0hh8hyLz

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.471Please respect copyright.PENANASxwUBRKs2p
471Please respect copyright.PENANAdc63EFoZCR
471Please respect copyright.PENANAupWeD1ftdi
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.471Please respect copyright.PENANAWp6eiZRQwj

471Please respect copyright.PENANAJXPRri9Oh5

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.471Please respect copyright.PENANAlGSblIImCT

“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?”471Please respect copyright.PENANAc7iavasMCf
471Please respect copyright.PENANAupRhr0Dar2
471Please respect copyright.PENANAiotFR4LduW
“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.471Please respect copyright.PENANAitiflnqwbv

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.471Please respect copyright.PENANA6cxs1lUEgy

“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.471Please respect copyright.PENANALlftYT2Wb3
471Please respect copyright.PENANADnicNHv4Tn

471Please respect copyright.PENANAKlQii072n6

471Please respect copyright.PENANAWhj8hEVtAp
“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?”471Please respect copyright.PENANADBZp25xWmi
471Please respect copyright.PENANAsmScNJTcEy
471Please respect copyright.PENANAhndbDhFydc
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.471Please respect copyright.PENANANY3sA6y2OC

471Please respect copyright.PENANA5sLJca7BwE

471Please respect copyright.PENANA4g4wBCLMD9

"I thought you would never ask," said Zoey as she excitedly turned to look at Mino who sat next to her.

471Please respect copyright.PENANAti4HrFqSuK

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.471Please respect copyright.PENANAkYSn5Jh7fa
471Please respect copyright.PENANA4XH3Xx5psZ
471Please respect copyright.PENANA8JIXjfJ3vf
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.471Please respect copyright.PENANAlK9803ZHnb
471Please respect copyright.PENANAvIAUOGCnaS
471Please respect copyright.PENANANH8gqscKTO
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.471Please respect copyright.PENANAruSCZvViJA
471Please respect copyright.PENANAfgax5z4Hst
471Please respect copyright.PENANA7OqoNevA6S
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.471Please respect copyright.PENANAYt72ZjJ3Ly
471Please respect copyright.PENANAzQpOukC0pE
471Please respect copyright.PENANAyOE1JYSS7Q

471Please respect copyright.PENANA5FifcnerDc
471Please respect copyright.PENANA8GEZRmdVhX
"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."471Please respect copyright.PENANAz8192Mdg16
471Please respect copyright.PENANAe8aRkxxwQv
471Please respect copyright.PENANA4RW2bWXEzx

471Please respect copyright.PENANAURHDOhyRc0
471Please respect copyright.PENANAbDuXzKQzsv
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.471Please respect copyright.PENANAdsgv9OIzkc
471Please respect copyright.PENANA57EVXa7LOa
471Please respect copyright.PENANAJC78klxvZm
"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?471Please respect copyright.PENANAgPtkzD7ljU
471Please respect copyright.PENANA3obXOpT8t5
471Please respect copyright.PENANA24pMbKl01A
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.471Please respect copyright.PENANAz3WGrU4fcy
471Please respect copyright.PENANAOkl86zRoZb
471Please respect copyright.PENANAIJQnTwTv1S
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.471Please respect copyright.PENANATekl9eVckc
471Please respect copyright.PENANAIqjMSvQD7y
471Please respect copyright.PENANAgPB6ZCQMNd

471Please respect copyright.PENANAzxTFfQlSfz
471Please respect copyright.PENANAUhb1PJ7ehH
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.471Please respect copyright.PENANAFc6NcV233C
471Please respect copyright.PENANAFt4iZMGMr0
471Please respect copyright.PENANAerXTQR6OfJ
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.471Please respect copyright.PENANARTn0okSGUA
471Please respect copyright.PENANAh464T2ReBI
471Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0RJ5Ox3mG
"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."471Please respect copyright.PENANAazXwjxX6cq
471Please respect copyright.PENANAQgIJHhZWHc
471Please respect copyright.PENANACkUyQdKOHE

471Please respect copyright.PENANAh4py3T0IYA
471Please respect copyright.PENANA3DxHLJ8Mg9
"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.471Please respect copyright.PENANAMgmfgliumj
471Please respect copyright.PENANA3QNf0GEtr5
471Please respect copyright.PENANAF5IUqlJjwS
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.471Please respect copyright.PENANA83w38l6XGK
471Please respect copyright.PENANAnNtX2B2CXi
471Please respect copyright.PENANABteKL39URW
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."471Please respect copyright.PENANALRGXeVpfFg
471Please respect copyright.PENANAoE3mI5AIj2
471Please respect copyright.PENANAFY9CfjI9Wx
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.471Please respect copyright.PENANA6QhaNN1cKK
471Please respect copyright.PENANAcveFyuOKP9
471Please respect copyright.PENANAiDqzkP8b2j
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.471Please respect copyright.PENANA01uAh6YDJA
471Please respect copyright.PENANABbSe5I18op
471Please respect copyright.PENANApyiOKlXrDe
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.471Please respect copyright.PENANAH2oY1hmrWH
471Please respect copyright.PENANAYy0KGr2KEY
471Please respect copyright.PENANAWHjgbO3ePl
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."471Please respect copyright.PENANASSKqtyWzva
471Please respect copyright.PENANAxl9fQIysCj
471Please respect copyright.PENANA7K4BBTGRls
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."471Please respect copyright.PENANAFG3rg1euHH
471Please respect copyright.PENANAN0wA4pBtaG
471Please respect copyright.PENANAnYKWRtcCKX
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.471Please respect copyright.PENANAVfBcWBT68J
471Please respect copyright.PENANAyGdJ2vM5EJ
471Please respect copyright.PENANAdMcVmIhTSz
"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."471Please respect copyright.PENANA2i1AcD4XNg
471Please respect copyright.PENANAxOkm14CVX9
471Please respect copyright.PENANAMnTQHu7MbE
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.471Please respect copyright.PENANAFZLRSLdqxM
471Please respect copyright.PENANAB6Inwq5AOU
471Please respect copyright.PENANAtKhaUjMUry
"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.471Please respect copyright.PENANADoBiRgK10v
471Please respect copyright.PENANA7jBLxJI5RH
471Please respect copyright.PENANAOD2PKR0BWy
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.471Please respect copyright.PENANABpf8XrtqYz
471Please respect copyright.PENANA8qvUlJvOXi
471Please respect copyright.PENANA7URLxXibK1
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.471Please respect copyright.PENANASp3fV11J9E
471Please respect copyright.PENANAX7T4xEVEcN
471Please respect copyright.PENANA6NnTjs1sB5
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"471Please respect copyright.PENANAEzE1ma4jue
471Please respect copyright.PENANAl5M1lsZ1ai
471Please respect copyright.PENANA11dFkunsvD
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.471Please respect copyright.PENANA6j6QFI1JUM
471Please respect copyright.PENANA8ExZ6PaoXS
471Please respect copyright.PENANARBSQwS3NnI
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.471Please respect copyright.PENANAMaUtzMLzuL
471Please respect copyright.PENANAQxQEB7rGBk
471Please respect copyright.PENANAUIg7xycDP5
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:471Please respect copyright.PENANAEFuhpOU6sk
471Please respect copyright.PENANApnnyUVK9u0
471Please respect copyright.PENANA9x7hw3LEXO
"Yes, I do."471Please respect copyright.PENANAlCs70lUFBh
471Please respect copyright.PENANAR8BDetUWpS
471Please respect copyright.PENANAPtqdb4wQJG
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.471Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZM2PEI0mm
471Please respect copyright.PENANAtVDKwg6zDn
471Please respect copyright.PENANAfD72uChgOa
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.471Please respect copyright.PENANADECPrXOFcm
471Please respect copyright.PENANAKYlLI9SP7G
471Please respect copyright.PENANAVWtE51Ccs3
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.471Please respect copyright.PENANAH2SUVLOQyE
471Please respect copyright.PENANAuobU5UalWk
471Please respect copyright.PENANA0pTqIAMiPC
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
