“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.

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.

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmhD4s7CZ2
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISWuXisLng

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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYmcJ11hnD

“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?”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6VaMZLwlm

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIKgIE8DoT
His phone on the other end started to ring. We all waited in silence for what felt like a minute when Zoey said:407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzrYm1oNJH

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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIdWd6HX8q
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4GODtWTDF
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdlbT5KffM

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGL3swmiAt
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2jhvSbW4Z

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFI7HMnBHL
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGWlmPlelF

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HZ8u8EfsK
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSFrLDqjiW

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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGdjDGA4bD

"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?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOjT4Aoekv
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmKOYDnY0u
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt7Pt2uKlg

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCsQnu2YXm
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd5tiPTydG
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQLI5W7G5B

"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvWPorE8qs
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N56L7oLd8

"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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSzV1nJyTo

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w6wixKKSd
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gVz8cEwGx
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh1IoGuhm2

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5LR2FI38Z
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx2iDyXrI2

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcP9QFGVNt
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAfzR8d6ON
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQMrUYv7g3
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc96ORfJSp

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31AQ1QeH4u
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcPA3FJKYJ
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvwtUpCScE

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eNemnJG7q
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWULfOKBb8r
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkI4worpL0
