“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.”407Please respect copyright.PENANAuPwMl4N1ay

“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.”407Please respect copyright.PENANA9eESYQXtKB
407Please respect copyright.PENANAvcbwHINDNQ
407Please respect copyright.PENANAtjDDwymKgP
“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.407Please respect copyright.PENANALhXfJQlQ8k
407Please respect copyright.PENANABYMXstLHe4

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.407Please respect copyright.PENANAKAv6ZVWtJY
407Please respect copyright.PENANAr91SB2dLAQ
407Please respect copyright.PENANAgzOb8hoZvB
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.

407Please respect copyright.PENANAeOhELpMR9B

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.407Please respect copyright.PENANAF6qvaXk5iG

407Please respect copyright.PENANAE4L7wODdy1
“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?”407Please respect copyright.PENANAIgYbL4aEo7
407Please respect copyright.PENANAalXDSN669a
407Please respect copyright.PENANAfKN736WkMH
“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.407Please respect copyright.PENANAchffra65c2

407Please respect copyright.PENANAzS9eflmv6n

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

“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.407Please respect copyright.PENANAciET0kMKqZ
407Please respect copyright.PENANAE47IVw1IpT
407Please respect copyright.PENANAtlxue7iwvH

407Please respect copyright.PENANAXv0FFjRk5t
407Please respect copyright.PENANAQnSw9OAOlR

407Please respect copyright.PENANAD2Xo81mMq9

407Please respect copyright.PENANAYCQF1gZjh5
407Please respect copyright.PENANAmQGzUXYIOE

407Please respect copyright.PENANA44ciZSgwaW
407Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4hGCq8uOh
“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.PENANAns2gfec8zA
407Please respect copyright.PENANAgwCWiNgeKA
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.407Please respect copyright.PENANAUreUPAobsU
407Please respect copyright.PENANA5iiy7RXpd4

407Please respect copyright.PENANAh2aDjsIs46

407Please respect copyright.PENANALouOWkkHEN

407Please respect copyright.PENANA7coW4TNoBg
407Please respect copyright.PENANAHbjGHp5QNr

407Please respect copyright.PENANAtBlasn0hOb

"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.407Please respect copyright.PENANAtjw1oW2rqV

407Please respect copyright.PENANA8prVLbTSg9
"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.407Please respect copyright.PENANAUE3oLj9j2C
407Please respect copyright.PENANAGGXQN6KAml
407Please respect copyright.PENANAKxDtjRaLpe

407Please respect copyright.PENANAqPraluFjML
407Please respect copyright.PENANAKU7W7RqDGS

407Please respect copyright.PENANAmxY336R7t5

407Please respect copyright.PENANAXbRgdiyduH
407Please respect copyright.PENANA9wxYs9S663
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.407Please respect copyright.PENANA2PdPvZsliK
407Please respect copyright.PENANAvARbhV8n31
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
407Please respect copyright.PENANAFnnNiPo4JU
407Please respect copyright.PENANA8rLXPHG1z1

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:407Please respect copyright.PENANAUbTWjIMJM9
407Please respect copyright.PENANASfCJhoPA5W
407Please respect copyright.PENANAm7s4zyFHE4
"Wow, that's so typical of him. He even went to have fun with Johnny after the stunt he pulled?!"407Please respect copyright.PENANA0mTp1qx1qf
407Please respect copyright.PENANAZGzL1hu7Uu

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
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.407Please respect copyright.PENANAsncWRDIA2D
407Please respect copyright.PENANAQGL3swmiAt
407Please respect copyright.PENANAj2jhvSbW4Z
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.407Please respect copyright.PENANA8XKFjyBTzt
407Please respect copyright.PENANAGFI7HMnBHL
407Please respect copyright.PENANAZGWlmPlelF
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.407Please respect copyright.PENANAqQZIWyXIXu
407Please respect copyright.PENANA4HZ8u8EfsK
407Please respect copyright.PENANAWSFrLDqjiW
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."407Please respect copyright.PENANAPFCKN4HIgu
407Please respect copyright.PENANASAbQAMfS9V
407Please respect copyright.PENANAzZT5oKDyVh
"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."407Please respect copyright.PENANA9Uqxl9u06J
407Please respect copyright.PENANAr3sxOkzs69
407Please respect copyright.PENANAeLypwC4nhU
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.407Please respect copyright.PENANAUVXVXlvwMl
407Please respect copyright.PENANAK2FRvGBKVe
407Please respect copyright.PENANAUTFznuUS4x
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
407Please respect copyright.PENANAOAAMo5LuKN
407Please respect copyright.PENANATPhIK4kTib
"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
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.407Please respect copyright.PENANApWtdqQc09m
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
407Please respect copyright.PENANA9WTL2iIci4
407Please respect copyright.PENANAdh2JzUVIdq

407Please respect copyright.PENANAO2Km5dEICd
407Please respect copyright.PENANAjhcDs6xalS
"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
407Please respect copyright.PENANAOk2469ypSI
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.407Please respect copyright.PENANA1bDy3EbCqo
407Please respect copyright.PENANA3NWkIEd0wp
407Please respect copyright.PENANAA2o10ZTUxY
"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."407Please respect copyright.PENANACu9C1j18TK
407Please respect copyright.PENANAW6THUwYaTG
407Please respect copyright.PENANAcoQrAbY3pc
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.407Please respect copyright.PENANAKDaNMSiFZr
407Please respect copyright.PENANA26FtcCkuYM
407Please respect copyright.PENANAX5jHDCqTa0
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."407Please respect copyright.PENANAdmbpSev95F
407Please respect copyright.PENANAFqeq4W7eJI
407Please respect copyright.PENANAxH4MUQBund
"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.PENANATvQLv7pBVb
407Please respect copyright.PENANAvgAH5DWZOM
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.407Please respect copyright.PENANAe1kIRZSjpE
407Please respect copyright.PENANA2yBdZNpjpf
407Please respect copyright.PENANATWbDx5uUv7
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."407Please respect copyright.PENANAkTLWJ86Plb
407Please respect copyright.PENANAjsAoUD1OsT
407Please respect copyright.PENANAF9UatZPDVb
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.407Please respect copyright.PENANAsEb7phmsQh
407Please respect copyright.PENANACeJIUx2RYr
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.PENANAOhmt5JUcah
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.407Please respect copyright.PENANADmrW0qJxPF
407Please respect copyright.PENANAhbLf496667
407Please respect copyright.PENANAVA35KwmfAh
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."407Please respect copyright.PENANAgmkP1QYCHo
407Please respect copyright.PENANApmJVLRiXSR
407Please respect copyright.PENANAkJuzrGYT6G
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."407Please respect copyright.PENANASS1RPhhw1D
407Please respect copyright.PENANAMDhJGJLuMk
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.PENANA0ELqNILuvS
407Please respect copyright.PENANAWiYwuHC21s
"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."407Please respect copyright.PENANAzaRzP9bXDc
407Please respect copyright.PENANAemkAnw8FCT
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
"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.407Please respect copyright.PENANABPkBQ6JT0t
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.PENANA8GHwWMRQ3n
407Please respect copyright.PENANARB8ptMEa2J
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.407Please respect copyright.PENANAfbjgIl0JLr
407Please respect copyright.PENANAejM5nRGvPP
407Please respect copyright.PENANAydmAdQ9ok1
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"407Please respect copyright.PENANAvneWYJaQ7C
407Please respect copyright.PENANAY4b8UMEO1j
407Please respect copyright.PENANAEfc0wszFca
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.407Please respect copyright.PENANAfAyiRgH5w3
407Please respect copyright.PENANAxCd0QcPGiu
407Please respect copyright.PENANAwrGQig0HyB
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.407Please respect copyright.PENANAo4FWvF9rjF
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
407Please respect copyright.PENANAHUco9ycLU0
407Please respect copyright.PENANAr9WCu625Y7
"Yes, I do."407Please respect copyright.PENANAm9Oim9qkMr
407Please respect copyright.PENANAA8YXfbTnfh
407Please respect copyright.PENANAl7UD0p1kHk
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.407Please respect copyright.PENANA4JsXfIBJ7j
407Please respect copyright.PENANAKd8Gaisptc
407Please respect copyright.PENANAcyfoCNnNQD
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.407Please respect copyright.PENANAL2gusqThk2
407Please respect copyright.PENANAKRVIXQcN6l
407Please respect copyright.PENANAeg6sRmmgO7
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.407Please respect copyright.PENANAxTBQxSzCEc
407Please respect copyright.PENANABYHZdohif6
407Please respect copyright.PENANA6Nj9TiQIIU
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
