Meeting WINNER the 784Please respect copyright.PENANAp5GssEASvR
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 784Please respect copyright.PENANACL4S23bOHU
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 784Please respect copyright.PENANAkLtHdRnvi6
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 784Please respect copyright.PENANA4yxRAoGdCe
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 784Please respect copyright.PENANAdATOeUNyOI
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.784Please respect copyright.PENANAs5baVKQJaJ
With the little time we 784Please respect copyright.PENANAf8XBJ8jjNE
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again784Please respect copyright.PENANA7wLkKP3I6b
as we all got to know each other.784Please respect copyright.PENANAhoCwOIFwPF
Seungyoon, the leader 784Please respect copyright.PENANApOwGVsG9E7
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 784Please respect copyright.PENANAeZIJBeYCgX
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a784Please respect copyright.PENANAuJRDuFHOYS
fun and nice person to be around with.784Please respect copyright.PENANA44xC5FV1D3
Then there is Mino, who 784Please respect copyright.PENANAf4LoHslcpf
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for784Please respect copyright.PENANAWUKoqEyIxE
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 784Please respect copyright.PENANApLp7QPCaU2
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.784Please respect copyright.PENANAaW7oPgmasp
As for Jinwoo and 784Please respect copyright.PENANAnGHayvVMh8
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.784Please respect copyright.PENANAioS4f1WCIc
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 784Please respect copyright.PENANAUYoHixmOw6
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 784Please respect copyright.PENANAcFbveKDEBu
in Korea.784Please respect copyright.PENANA27bexGRPEe
As for Seunghoon, I 784Please respect copyright.PENANAMLNCW5rOx9
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking784Please respect copyright.PENANAFE6NP8PKRO
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 784Please respect copyright.PENANAm2lvQ1RXoU
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.784Please respect copyright.PENANA2o0crOzQIV
Before they left, we 784Please respect copyright.PENANAoy9vH08vVf
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 784Please respect copyright.PENANACesZ5fV0W7
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 784Please respect copyright.PENANAB5yNlm6W1N
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 784Please respect copyright.PENANAjHJf0aztEi
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done784Please respect copyright.PENANAJaZQmtxxHP
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 784Please respect copyright.PENANALk2f5fTPeQ
place?784Please respect copyright.PENANAjye6QBYv1p
I already had that part 784Please respect copyright.PENANAjRvIdhDToR
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 784Please respect copyright.PENANApU6UJgdx5o
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 784Please respect copyright.PENANAyl9WwBJWx4
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 784Please respect copyright.PENANAphp2OdRrFF
wouldn't have to break a sweat.784Please respect copyright.PENANAiQya0gMJ6N
Right now, this very 784Please respect copyright.PENANAgQeTkyL2JJ
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 784Please respect copyright.PENANA0WJkic3Ib7
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 784Please respect copyright.PENANAcTlnXrU9ji
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee784Please respect copyright.PENANArzL04iPAC0
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 784Please respect copyright.PENANAilwfsqZiLo
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 784Please respect copyright.PENANAjcunp8NEaN
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.784Please respect copyright.PENANAwUPSAyHGLo
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.784Please respect copyright.PENANAmZnil0UPjY
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAgXJoPaYoK1
"I'm tired of sleeping,"784Please respect copyright.PENANA6bb9OkEKwm
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 784Please respect copyright.PENANApEshmSTjtt
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 784Please respect copyright.PENANAcrs02Zdu02
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.784Please respect copyright.PENANAe3XYEwxXbG
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.784Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ7pGuQmJ2
"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."784Please respect copyright.PENANAmo5EGUc5R8
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.784Please respect copyright.PENANADAGrzTXSrH
"You know, going for 784Please respect copyright.PENANAduaxNX2VMT
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 784Please respect copyright.PENANA39ZEcoDrV4
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 784Please respect copyright.PENANAz6kZUPo68k
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 784Please respect copyright.PENANAbl97fH7R4G
we try to do what we're familiar with."784Please respect copyright.PENANAqFAp41deK5
"Mmmm, I guess you're 784Please respect copyright.PENANAe4NeRS4Afk
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 784Please respect copyright.PENANA7mU3OYjudj
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 784Please respect copyright.PENANAw5R8GvVlEK
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."784Please respect copyright.PENANA4ALc9MQvkP
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.784Please respect copyright.PENANAWy36xCkm1c
"Yep," Collins nodded 784Please respect copyright.PENANAwDpEoUchdp
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 784Please respect copyright.PENANAab7j8sbzA6
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 784Please respect copyright.PENANAB2h7WSYsrU
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 784Please respect copyright.PENANAeegvi9zbuL
good now, will it?"784Please respect copyright.PENANA71tRGJBMP9
Wow. This was literally 784Please respect copyright.PENANAoOunPLBwLo
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 784Please respect copyright.PENANAOpJ3Vm8Qok
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.784Please respect copyright.PENANAar7n0IYUlJ
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.784Please respect copyright.PENANA2isZYPuUI3
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.784Please respect copyright.PENANASr8VbEongL
I left the lounge at a 784Please respect copyright.PENANAHMMkop9JId
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 784Please respect copyright.PENANAxmioIgRaVx
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door784Please respect copyright.PENANAgGpHf03MAA
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.784Please respect copyright.PENANADuo5VdpjcX
Zoey sat up with a start784Please respect copyright.PENANAwcLewnv0iA
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 784Please respect copyright.PENANAmfI2d77qBo
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.784Please respect copyright.PENANAKuM0Ndtjbr
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"784Please respect copyright.PENANARSKofCGNQB
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.784Please respect copyright.PENANAPWpHCRBPwg
At first she didn't say a784Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8qkkLdJty
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 784Please respect copyright.PENANAbdI4ViNmMO
looking at me with her eyes wide open.784Please respect copyright.PENANAxTYNLedU4e
"What did you say?" she asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAP2V81dQcXP
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.784Please respect copyright.PENANAaPx3SAGTSv
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAsQudv9hfBv
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."784Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kgk7gGCZH
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAp6YBw4AQ6h
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."784Please respect copyright.PENANAQSirkiAv6K
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."784Please respect copyright.PENANAUbKmCK3Wgf
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.784Please respect copyright.PENANAj0kc9WFc4l
I went to wake up 784Please respect copyright.PENANAwwgaaDwjHs
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I784Please respect copyright.PENANAGKCqCc5LbD
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.784Please respect copyright.PENANAW0Rw8zyZb2
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAwGTlxPB2Xs
"I gave a reasonable 784Please respect copyright.PENANAKZaBU6Cn0P
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 784Please respect copyright.PENANA3EZIMLCZxf
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAjx8n1mroLT
I noticed Christine 784Please respect copyright.PENANAnVVpumV0o2
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly784Please respect copyright.PENANABbYN6pADTJ
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 784Please respect copyright.PENANAVMfpgcGzH3
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 784Please respect copyright.PENANAUVxDK5M9ue
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.784Please respect copyright.PENANAQmHQFpKHQH
When we all had our bags784Please respect copyright.PENANAkiZh9OD2e8
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 784Please respect copyright.PENANA7GtQxXHqoZ
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 784Please respect copyright.PENANAvIwpeIsPGP
looked at us.784Please respect copyright.PENANAvHBG0ogN64
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.784Please respect copyright.PENANA4jLT8CEGp7
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."784Please respect copyright.PENANAeTy76dAMjF
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.784Please respect copyright.PENANA862pbWdUwi
"I hate when you use my 784Please respect copyright.PENANAyzusUgisud
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 784Please respect copyright.PENANAVTYKfiGETE
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."784Please respect copyright.PENANA65ti9apQLT
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."784Please respect copyright.PENANAhvcvKLGvZd
Collins rolled his eyes 784Please respect copyright.PENANAiqhXu1AdgY
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 784Please respect copyright.PENANAeyr11HYULK
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."784Please respect copyright.PENANAILozzC5zdo
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAXtNayHhrmT
"I would really love to,784Please respect copyright.PENANAdfTuMHx2Kh
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass784Please respect copyright.PENANAcJneqPcdsU
by at lunchtime to check on you."784Please respect copyright.PENANAOnHoQoy76J
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.784Please respect copyright.PENANABfPIk8N9rg
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.784Please respect copyright.PENANAHt3owL8K5N
"Nothing," said Christine.784Please respect copyright.PENANAnKk7ILRGzI
I noticed Mike give 784Please respect copyright.PENANAoeCyOjWvqn
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut784Please respect copyright.PENANAFHF9Jn7kFm
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 784Please respect copyright.PENANAGry2tLHQ3F
going on.784Please respect copyright.PENANA2B3jqb9auC
"It's just about the 784Please respect copyright.PENANAuu8RVv6Ioz
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 784Please respect copyright.PENANAxgt6TD4PKy
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 784Please respect copyright.PENANAjuRxWHpfGo
happened."784Please respect copyright.PENANAdbVyLZu8y6
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."784Please respect copyright.PENANA1U3IGVgvZT
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."784Please respect copyright.PENANACXCTPgkCGD
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.784Please respect copyright.PENANAWsuW4M8e8H
When we arrived at YG, 784Please respect copyright.PENANAVgKZgqwOjG
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 784Please respect copyright.PENANAX3YkEZM28z
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.784Please respect copyright.PENANAs1ZY6yniHt
"I already informed the 784Please respect copyright.PENANAasd0UWc7Vn
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 784Please respect copyright.PENANASwUG3rM0Yb
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAj9EG5ghKPH
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."784Please respect copyright.PENANAXV1UGzuUgG
"I know you will. See you later."784Please respect copyright.PENANA8jBzUDikyR
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.784Please respect copyright.PENANAYiOFzw2vw7
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.784Please respect copyright.PENANAE2wBsG7KME
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.784Please respect copyright.PENANAfCryabWZIs
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.784Please respect copyright.PENANAfpCj64wiNo
"Careful, Zoey," I said 784Please respect copyright.PENANA86vGJnOaT2
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 784Please respect copyright.PENANAUmLcQTnjgS
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."784Please respect copyright.PENANAZSEZiyfngS
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.784Please respect copyright.PENANAZSFS9GiH6t
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAx1qbdl33dO
"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.784Please respect copyright.PENANASsm13htUYw
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.784Please respect copyright.PENANAGULjR0V864
"No," I said as the 784Please respect copyright.PENANAwdDHC2jKLP
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 784Please respect copyright.PENANAbXlMbQOcEX
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 784Please respect copyright.PENANAbO30b9DQ4V
studios.784Please respect copyright.PENANAaVbIXddK2m
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.784Please respect copyright.PENANAHBcr3A0nbT
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."784Please respect copyright.PENANAPRKnvfPOjj
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."784Please respect copyright.PENANArqaNy7SwWf
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.784Please respect copyright.PENANA5sNqFFLfRk
"That's different."784Please respect copyright.PENANA4mg2PmyB1g
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."784Please respect copyright.PENANA3L8Zqp0ygK
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAFMZ75INQIV
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."784Please respect copyright.PENANASjyA044Xum
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.784Please respect copyright.PENANACP9EUWOGIQ
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.784Please respect copyright.PENANAGrLjTeRw1A
It was so much fun 784Please respect copyright.PENANAetOBH0FU9k
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 784Please respect copyright.PENANA9Hu6JKeUXH
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 784Please respect copyright.PENANA5KnOequ9Ht
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.784Please respect copyright.PENANA2fKqrs9jTa
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.784Please respect copyright.PENANAhgZika5x72
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.784Please respect copyright.PENANAKXEyr7DGyX
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."784Please respect copyright.PENANAy8fzcAjdhb
"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."784Please respect copyright.PENANAXmJcIfSo1e
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"784Please respect copyright.PENANANigH78BEvK
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.784Please respect copyright.PENANAp7bZsnZxZ1
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.784Please respect copyright.PENANAaaXblStwIX
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."784Please respect copyright.PENANARoAbSEUw4b
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."784Please respect copyright.PENANALIuYlrib73
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."784Please respect copyright.PENANAk66cjrDS7N
"Come on, Zoey," I 784Please respect copyright.PENANAo6jtnPmK0v
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 784Please respect copyright.PENANAiA9KmVFIMa
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."784Please respect copyright.PENANA0yQ62dtJ70
"What song?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAHyYN5tg7CZ
I didn't answer when I 784Please respect copyright.PENANAqVs50oR47l
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 784Please respect copyright.PENANAmsVmsuAs3A
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 784Please respect copyright.PENANAjbsrUr4ol3
pill soon started to play.784Please respect copyright.PENANAZqjYqVqEqQ
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.784Please respect copyright.PENANAqObzMtjB2f
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.784Please respect copyright.PENANAmX9csq9xrB
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.784Please respect copyright.PENANAhtPCPpNs8f
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.784Please respect copyright.PENANAyL0sieQac1
It's been a while since I784Please respect copyright.PENANALHHM9CAnn8
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 784Please respect copyright.PENANA7Pc5aXscSq
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 784Please respect copyright.PENANAT0onUQJOq2
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.784Please respect copyright.PENANAPSvi8XvUQm
At the end of it, the 784Please respect copyright.PENANAE1JJXaGt18
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 784Please respect copyright.PENANATrnDeDGlNa
our moves synchronising with one another.784Please respect copyright.PENANAKgsFGKQJbq
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.784Please respect copyright.PENANA2JklTbulWt
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."784Please respect copyright.PENANAz3Wk1VOTMW
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.784Please respect copyright.PENANAcAlsn9hYPE
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.784Please respect copyright.PENANAYILHmRMmUY
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAuKxIplt7Ub
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."784Please respect copyright.PENANAtWAqVVxmWC
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."784Please respect copyright.PENANAHs0uG1cH20
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.784Please respect copyright.PENANA0D6xAd926M
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.784Please respect copyright.PENANALtSShG5jBi
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAhZZ88XtUd2
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.784Please respect copyright.PENANAVggQOyjgOe
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAP6Ngeyfhd9
Mino and Seunghoon both 784Please respect copyright.PENANAdW5ajwT13C
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 784Please respect copyright.PENANApJuvb4mhVU
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.784Please respect copyright.PENANAvUPgbU3His
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.784Please respect copyright.PENANAn63bZxbb2X
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.784Please respect copyright.PENANAUwYaKFFOdD
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."784Please respect copyright.PENANA6JRp8iTINK
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.784Please respect copyright.PENANAKlwfmdtSaX
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAqbYVdewzRC
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 784Please respect copyright.PENANAc7KhFILQAu
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."784Please respect copyright.PENANAE7cRBKPXs2
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.784Please respect copyright.PENANAY9FXCogbLy
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.784Please respect copyright.PENANAXXOUaVO5gN
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ujb8KmlU3
I nudged my head to the 784Please respect copyright.PENANABabenKCt4N
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 784Please respect copyright.PENANAxKGqzXqwC5
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the784Please respect copyright.PENANAsF6OGGgije
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.784Please respect copyright.PENANAYCrffjj16n
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.784Please respect copyright.PENANA76omH5ZVjS
Seunghoon lips were 784Please respect copyright.PENANAojxzBfrlXd
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was784Please respect copyright.PENANA270hjQA7mp
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose784Please respect copyright.PENANANM2ZfP6eJ7
focus.784Please respect copyright.PENANA1xWcVe12ia
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.784Please respect copyright.PENANACDFrKTmlqg
"The others might, but I784Please respect copyright.PENANA3nLcKhvP3L
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going784Please respect copyright.PENANAjzIcjTU6Iy
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 784Please respect copyright.PENANAzJzcoEAGoz
when TOP came to pick me up?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAbNIqXBIETf
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."784Please respect copyright.PENANAUhlPRJCw2K
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAzHVCThWgKL
He again took a step closer. "Yes."784Please respect copyright.PENANA0u4jn2jiiY
Well, that made sense 784Please respect copyright.PENANAgFPJqLhT0h
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 784Please respect copyright.PENANAQHDc6rPZ3F
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 784Please respect copyright.PENANAAyt4YvyEWo
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 784Please respect copyright.PENANAKBLoOfWBQN
seen.784Please respect copyright.PENANA7a2UDGlog8
I hadn't realised it 784Please respect copyright.PENANAKFTfgYS7aP
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking784Please respect copyright.PENANAS5L0k832sl
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 784Please respect copyright.PENANAIg8Kjexw5N
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 784Please respect copyright.PENANAUESLIxg6NF
uncomfortable.784Please respect copyright.PENANAV2dlfIsRDJ
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.784Please respect copyright.PENANACYMUoUGECf
"Well, yes," he 784Please respect copyright.PENANASqwfNLhoqp
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 784Please respect copyright.PENANA2633Qq9vI3
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."784Please respect copyright.PENANA9NbPd1MOyT
"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."784Please respect copyright.PENANAxsVrmqgHPR
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.784Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ57SdXhnM
I blushed and I was a 784Please respect copyright.PENANAPx5u4JZBZ8
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 784Please respect copyright.PENANAdlzyuk6pQt
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 784Please respect copyright.PENANAxUy9adprjW
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 784Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7rhds1G5b
celebrities.784Please respect copyright.PENANANogI72FHqe
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAtniqPQLzPs
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.784Please respect copyright.PENANAuCzKSUbms9
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."784Please respect copyright.PENANAXV3gPRCTYJ
"No, they don't," I lied784Please respect copyright.PENANAiCE23FvOAk
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 784Please respect copyright.PENANASqitoRSeFA
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 784Please respect copyright.PENANARW6Lmo7p58
others had arrived.784Please respect copyright.PENANAfgKHfjzPsX
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.784Please respect copyright.PENANAcTk1RIOb7p
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.784Please respect copyright.PENANAwJfFBeQc4P
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.784Please respect copyright.PENANA83b80EMxEE
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAWM7ZEPIZaw
"Awesome," I replied.784Please respect copyright.PENANAD6qYgii000
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.784Please respect copyright.PENANAVLKIA0haxh
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.784Please respect copyright.PENANAWCcJkTGiw2
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.784Please respect copyright.PENANAFbwX9JK6Vf
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.784Please respect copyright.PENANAwqM29c46mm
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.784Please respect copyright.PENANAC49QLn0xCu
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.784Please respect copyright.PENANA5g7wLhz1jw
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."784Please respect copyright.PENANAawYfDAczId
"And besides, you and I 784Please respect copyright.PENANA4xwRPxX0w3
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 784Please respect copyright.PENANA25gp829Hof
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 784Please respect copyright.PENANApz7ndGy3hI
and Seunghoon showed up."784Please respect copyright.PENANAMYNLShoWRz
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.784Please respect copyright.PENANAb24wKmMJbo
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.784Please respect copyright.PENANA2muH9M1o9n
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."784Please respect copyright.PENANAEAnjPpo1CL
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.784Please respect copyright.PENANAoHkzn3o9Om
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.784Please respect copyright.PENANAXnfvMk7aKJ
Apparently, he wasn't 784Please respect copyright.PENANAaCfFECKJbl
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all784Please respect copyright.PENANA5r1YiiZAwg
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that784Please respect copyright.PENANAPbQ95VU4Cd
just made him look even more adorable.784Please respect copyright.PENANA0lGYS1maR9
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.784Please respect copyright.PENANABsLd7QwokJ
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."784Please respect copyright.PENANAbYaAzwpzEt
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.784Please respect copyright.PENANAVtlyJXG1NB
"Yes!" I heard the four 784Please respect copyright.PENANAX18RTNoAQE
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 784Please respect copyright.PENANAVMLZeb8JPz
at the track list. Then, something came to me.784Please respect copyright.PENANAhz7erhMOgv
"Change of plans, Zoey,"784Please respect copyright.PENANAYjKa01NudW
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want784Please respect copyright.PENANAD6TPcCN2r5
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."784Please respect copyright.PENANAXdSZa3d49y
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."784Please respect copyright.PENANAFInJY1dCsp
"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."784Please respect copyright.PENANAFXnZxaBPKL
"This just got interesting," said Mino.784Please respect copyright.PENANADjp92NK1CM
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAmUVFD3ilr6
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."784Please respect copyright.PENANAAkOdLjYqZo
"Taeyang is going to 784Please respect copyright.PENANA7lahtstFlH
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 784Please respect copyright.PENANATDY2UgP5VO
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."784Please respect copyright.PENANAvjtb4hG7bE
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."784Please respect copyright.PENANAuUtSjcAfxS
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.784Please respect copyright.PENANAsppvHbAtSW
I tapped the track on my784Please respect copyright.PENANACjJbGIOYDB
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 784Please respect copyright.PENANAuJPOeyqzFY
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.784Please respect copyright.PENANAy2nAuTAFBW
When the song started, I784Please respect copyright.PENANAMdo1PSfnnf
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 784Please respect copyright.PENANAUo5v1QfNe8
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 784Please respect copyright.PENANAxZqZA73hPB
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 784Please respect copyright.PENANAvcB8lgsOQy
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to784Please respect copyright.PENANAeaMutotQrZ
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 784Please respect copyright.PENANAqNHpbr6MmU
doing a pretty good with the moves too.784Please respect copyright.PENANALzbsJGyp0V
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.784Please respect copyright.PENANA8F2gjRtiS6
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.784Please respect copyright.PENANAC5XHTSZ2BZ
"Whenever it came to the784Please respect copyright.PENANAzFW8UhzFrK
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 784Please respect copyright.PENANAK7zTNpbZfi
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."784Please respect copyright.PENANAWmwPm4n0oP
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."784Please respect copyright.PENANAK7j8MUkcxC
"Thanks, guys," I said.784Please respect copyright.PENANAhYuNOE4ttp
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.784Please respect copyright.PENANAsnu5v89jrH
"Now, coming to my 784Please respect copyright.PENANAKArnanK4h4
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 784Please respect copyright.PENANAQMrj9LqLuu
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 784Please respect copyright.PENANAF2uxnEzTNL
think is a better dancer?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAS1tCiSVxzZ
"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."784Please respect copyright.PENANA5pUEP1N3HY
"Why?" Zoey asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0QtBoEDii
"I think you and I both 784Please respect copyright.PENANADdWStqfsVR
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 784Please respect copyright.PENANAOPxhogtTbS
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 784Please respect copyright.PENANAirMqrMbCNK
That counts for something, right?"784Please respect copyright.PENANArvKLFFp1ks
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."784Please respect copyright.PENANATExBrEPFSM
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."784Please respect copyright.PENANAZbLdwkfOq2
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.784Please respect copyright.PENANA6SqUNWpWtG
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAROuPwn4lrf
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAPZrtyJcWR3
"Well, ya." Mike 784Please respect copyright.PENANAijBdGarDWV
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 784Please respect copyright.PENANAVvenXvuH90
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 784Please respect copyright.PENANAs5gyVGTZnM
sentence as he looked at Zoey.784Please respect copyright.PENANAc5mh4BSHAO
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."784Please respect copyright.PENANABavUZz9cTQ
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.784Please respect copyright.PENANAdd2OLGAeyx
"I also think it will be784Please respect copyright.PENANA4zL0rO4vli
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 784Please respect copyright.PENANA5ycXW2WsaG
obviously bring out a better opinion."784Please respect copyright.PENANAdfC7TGJEdp
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.784Please respect copyright.PENANAei0HLcrQ0G
"Count me out of it," I 784Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZnsGiynMd
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 784Please respect copyright.PENANA8qraH6OVPu
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."784Please respect copyright.PENANAGzkbKe37zL
"Fine, I'll create a 784Please respect copyright.PENANAUupkTj3gNk
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how784Please respect copyright.PENANAT4vGKWeMtG
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though784Please respect copyright.PENANAXRS9UpG1Qq
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."784Please respect copyright.PENANARM0oWpWIhy
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."784Please respect copyright.PENANAxuMxKalZQ3
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."784Please respect copyright.PENANAegQdpy3YtU
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.784Please respect copyright.PENANA3CXPm6QXmN
Zoey and Mike soon got 784Please respect copyright.PENANAB7Lm0J0K8E
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 784Please respect copyright.PENANAvn6jPVWfd0
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 784Please respect copyright.PENANAFvh3ng6OdI
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance784Please respect copyright.PENANAYfvq7eZQ3W
battle.784Please respect copyright.PENANADwmKvVMwMl
I got my phone and the 784Please respect copyright.PENANAFJYmzZEsWy
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 784Please respect copyright.PENANAKDshtbJ3Ld
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.784Please respect copyright.PENANARqtGwmI8Sd
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.784Please respect copyright.PENANABq3UPmpqfs
I turned to look at him 784Please respect copyright.PENANA41BKNsSozd
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 784Please respect copyright.PENANAcqSbWEQA3w
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 784Please respect copyright.PENANAQkGJ7dszdE
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 784Please respect copyright.PENANAq63t8lERIN
smile if they were to look at him.784Please respect copyright.PENANAiQNzWb1xh3
"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."784Please respect copyright.PENANAbNMV8aOOzo
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.784Please respect copyright.PENANAYdYOBAgs6H
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."784Please respect copyright.PENANAZKAzBXZgUF
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."784Please respect copyright.PENANAKAEVAu0s57
"You're right about that."784Please respect copyright.PENANAT9yVoViZ0A
I looked behind me with a784Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z6jeiwZS0
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 784Please respect copyright.PENANABsmKgRZBVx
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 784Please respect copyright.PENANAz5uRaJtkaX
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 784Please respect copyright.PENANAdy8ecFQEto
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.784Please respect copyright.PENANA864Tt4Tr5J
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 784Please respect copyright.PENANAUlVRLISgEk
"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."784Please respect copyright.PENANAIQygKkUNPh
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAcniide2XvZ
"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."784Please respect copyright.PENANAm5xhvfsSzj
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."784Please respect copyright.PENANAc7eej43TzC
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."784Please respect copyright.PENANAgND4MqjhJL
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.784Please respect copyright.PENANATakoDizZI7
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.784Please respect copyright.PENANAXQso6AipIo
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAXbNLVuIdLZ
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."784Please respect copyright.PENANA1VrCeWBm5m
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANA24bRv1A4AK
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."784Please respect copyright.PENANACXGZhvzxRp
"I sure hope so," I 784Please respect copyright.PENANABYwMOy5Fv7
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 784Please respect copyright.PENANA5QDpZrxMtF
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."784Please respect copyright.PENANA1ETT6p8rHO
"What about those two?" 784Please respect copyright.PENANAoUjjawQdjU
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 784Please respect copyright.PENANAA2iWUSZnnp
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 784Please respect copyright.PENANA0WaQGkxri5
soon.784Please respect copyright.PENANAPl44SuobxV
"They will notice when 784Please respect copyright.PENANA1b7S90Pllt
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 784Please respect copyright.PENANA5EK9MNoOc9
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAvnuMmxnFvA
"Sure," he said with a smile.784Please respect copyright.PENANAJii2tqHcg3
Christine, Daniel and I 784Please respect copyright.PENANAXq78utiXkq
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 784Please respect copyright.PENANAxOMLgBwxS3
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.784Please respect copyright.PENANAqVgvoO3glI
Twenty minutes later, I 784Please respect copyright.PENANAWVM3WpB1s3
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 784Please respect copyright.PENANAlfhFK6djkn
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 784Please respect copyright.PENANAThFZ2AfkZp
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 784Please respect copyright.PENANAlqCEc3P6TD
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 784Please respect copyright.PENANAhHAb1IPYYn
in the shower room, still patching herself up.784Please respect copyright.PENANAN8lZbbjBcd
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.784Please respect copyright.PENANALin7BxH56M
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."784Please respect copyright.PENANAbPauDCFOuk
"Why? Anything special?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAfYha8MIyqB
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.784Please respect copyright.PENANA3n5gzoUzrm
"Oh, nothing," I stared 784Please respect copyright.PENANA3aZdPKEmdD
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 784Please respect copyright.PENANAt9L8pTdsw3
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 784Please respect copyright.PENANARORth3j5BL
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."784Please respect copyright.PENANA8dKaBN9poh
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.784Please respect copyright.PENANAq44pkt3ihD
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.784Please respect copyright.PENANAWNcyLgpEru
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.784Please respect copyright.PENANAmXxLx9a9wA
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.784Please respect copyright.PENANAPg3hRQSqdI
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."784Please respect copyright.PENANAKhRiGXCBQZ
"What are you talking about?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAeheTNVp1rW
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"784Please respect copyright.PENANA0R8uxfw4KW
Christine's mouth fell 784Please respect copyright.PENANAjHLeKHLK6m
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 784Please respect copyright.PENANAiv5je9lpYL
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.784Please respect copyright.PENANARLfqfb21o9
"No, I don't," she said.784Please respect copyright.PENANAAaznWijoMq
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 784Please respect copyright.PENANA3d6dccO5yP
do like him but only as a fan girl."784Please respect copyright.PENANAyjGclaZSxy
"Please, I saw the way 784Please respect copyright.PENANAnwQQU994Dq
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that784Please respect copyright.PENANAyrOlCqXvsk
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."784Please respect copyright.PENANAUr0V6ePRQH
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 784Please respect copyright.PENANA06YvfFRt5r
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of784Please respect copyright.PENANAQX3RAmyRvQ
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 784Please respect copyright.PENANAKczA8Lnkuk
more."784Please respect copyright.PENANAIs0wjoekp3
"Ya, right," I said as I784Please respect copyright.PENANAeTosY0A3Z3
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 784Please respect copyright.PENANAinczJopgIn
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 784Please respect copyright.PENANAEppuwLwzO7
weird look on your face."784Please respect copyright.PENANAx2Cm83qlCX
"What weird look?"784Please respect copyright.PENANADinVl2UkUd
"The jealous one."784Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6M1NzSEJD
"Spare me the drama, Sam."784Please respect copyright.PENANAr1IVeXz6pi
"If Zoey was the one 784Please respect copyright.PENANA8lBM305cAj
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 784Please respect copyright.PENANAdAjpz5u0jp
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 784Please respect copyright.PENANAK4B9nI3Zf9
Jinwoo."784Please respect copyright.PENANAVeyNIupW9g
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.784Please respect copyright.PENANADAaA18ko5B
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAZxDHfvbU2L
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."784Please respect copyright.PENANAUqVhuXpcBN
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.784Please respect copyright.PENANAMqKp3kt28u
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.784Please respect copyright.PENANAFtI2GGW8bQ
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.784Please respect copyright.PENANA9naT1icXzC
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.784Please respect copyright.PENANA15VlAJQsPR
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.784Please respect copyright.PENANAKFGgVpQjZe
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"784Please respect copyright.PENANACANsTq69wK
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.784Please respect copyright.PENANAa6DtrD5pho
Mike gave Christine a 784Please respect copyright.PENANAnptQQLgxm5
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 784Please respect copyright.PENANAcHsBvtTZwI
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't784Please respect copyright.PENANAFnypvr8Pg9
wrong about that.784Please respect copyright.PENANAtDwXgTLgCz
We decided to go back to784Please respect copyright.PENANAmuO1bCyUV8
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 784Please respect copyright.PENANAvamlhAqYVh
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,784Please respect copyright.PENANAs8Tl6oBSbs
this happened:784Please respect copyright.PENANA5F98h9nCxp
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.784Please respect copyright.PENANAoA0zBnLBzR
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.784Please respect copyright.PENANAoV8yaOsHhF
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.784Please respect copyright.PENANAABps3OqPZN
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."784Please respect copyright.PENANAqdC4nbgh6m
I wanted to frown at him784Please respect copyright.PENANAcGokyqnlLo
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 784Please respect copyright.PENANAnpen3NzZl4
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.784Please respect copyright.PENANAs2OBmDHSnr
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.784Please respect copyright.PENANA76hnCMEUEv
I looked at Jinwoo and I784Please respect copyright.PENANABN3nOASlvG
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 784Please respect copyright.PENANA2vAs8zLeOS
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 784Please respect copyright.PENANAtDeySLsKna
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.784Please respect copyright.PENANAvngJrn8QUx
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.784Please respect copyright.PENANAwkcg5QXdeI
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAQzaBEWDkMy
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.784Please respect copyright.PENANAoWmQI7KLUT
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."784Please respect copyright.PENANAFJQRY3jvqa
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAmNla6JaioX
"Good idea. Let's go."784Please respect copyright.PENANAHdJgOHyBpc
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANATMrL3LInkB
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.784Please respect copyright.PENANAnQzvP19Ibq
Before he could say 784Please respect copyright.PENANAPGQCl2n5KW
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I784Please respect copyright.PENANAl3geMj2peD
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped784Please respect copyright.PENANABKA0jswyKw
out of the room, he was snickering.784Please respect copyright.PENANAHhk3mZtM3d
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.784Please respect copyright.PENANAYjpJkAbDWA
"Just because I'm his 784Please respect copyright.PENANANmtmZ0Dm6z
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being784Please respect copyright.PENANAGp77rfx2Bm
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAdriWQsBgqX
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."784Please respect copyright.PENANA6AStea8elT
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAey8g6p0v6U
"Actually, it was only 784Please respect copyright.PENANAjafShXtOio
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 784Please respect copyright.PENANAjyh5c3hNqF
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."784Please respect copyright.PENANAGjohoC79Ht
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.784Please respect copyright.PENANAynwgvwCSeg
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.784Please respect copyright.PENANAfjKSn9p5FA
When we got to the 784Please respect copyright.PENANARyBG8JFR9v
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 784Please respect copyright.PENANAWx7qzyeh0I
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 784Please respect copyright.PENANAlWWrXJSAQv
inside the elevator.784Please respect copyright.PENANAFtlUlatqfy
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.784Please respect copyright.PENANAm0qruHocvJ
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."784Please respect copyright.PENANAzW3W5uYLjE
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.784Please respect copyright.PENANAkEZo7Hnqa4
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.784Please respect copyright.PENANAprxRuagl4h
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."784Please respect copyright.PENANAnHATW24RRV
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.784Please respect copyright.PENANAodFiOnFGfo
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAeDfLY7AwmV
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."784Please respect copyright.PENANAKdoeT29hPD
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."784Please respect copyright.PENANAiV6eT0INim
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."784Please respect copyright.PENANAcKZ5p6HJBx
"Well, if you're 784Please respect copyright.PENANApxGH0IWnYW
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 784Please respect copyright.PENANABLGd9WRH0e
his face and I could tell something was up.784Please respect copyright.PENANAuYi43up0Gw
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAV9AcoxdtAm
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."784Please respect copyright.PENANAy9dCpkpEgW
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAPFgiR7V1A7
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."784Please respect copyright.PENANAT236QHlU2t
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.784Please respect copyright.PENANAYhc5ex97qe
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."784Please respect copyright.PENANArL19QFKW8B
"I came to see you guys 784Please respect copyright.PENANAmubG7ZuGbw
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 784Please respect copyright.PENANAOrpUQexVhk
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."784Please respect copyright.PENANAVXUn4oLWAO
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."784Please respect copyright.PENANAeMe1Uaash1
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."784Please respect copyright.PENANAPpsN4VRuiy
"Okay, then you go and 784Please respect copyright.PENANAu20gj8rMbM
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino784Please respect copyright.PENANAOUmf2z1yGO
to get Zoey as fast as we could."784Please respect copyright.PENANAwuEYFErQUw
"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.784Please respect copyright.PENANAJZEhfdTC8G
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.784Please respect copyright.PENANAYcLhsrNLlB
We headed downstairs to 784Please respect copyright.PENANAj0j4YbHUX2
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 784Please respect copyright.PENANA2xxaOfVq11
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.784Please respect copyright.PENANAfDL92oOtTM
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"784Please respect copyright.PENANApC7kTzruI7
"Trying to look good," 784Please respect copyright.PENANAmARq7d7sEN
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 784Please respect copyright.PENANA3glVy0DVcI
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 784Please respect copyright.PENANApS41PMqwyt
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."784Please respect copyright.PENANADAyq4T0TME
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.784Please respect copyright.PENANAndq0KZyZ7H
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.784Please respect copyright.PENANAWVkwXMXVb6
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."784Please respect copyright.PENANAWDHbaY5y3X
"You're kidding, right?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAsdQr9KlqTw
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."784Please respect copyright.PENANAKtBqbPnp7J
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAIzIKwA4Stf
"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."784Please respect copyright.PENANAdSYAflfAmA
Just as I turned around 784Please respect copyright.PENANA2OQPdmmt4O
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 784Please respect copyright.PENANAyDebWWhBkH
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 784Please respect copyright.PENANA4aS60m5gRP
the the floor we were on.784Please respect copyright.PENANAhL57Ro3BxI
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.784Please respect copyright.PENANAu1fJP5cxkF
Just as we turned round a784Please respect copyright.PENANAgkf2w9zs2a
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 784Please respect copyright.PENANAIvELhb7Mmy
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 784Please respect copyright.PENANAvR8s2ZTqIb
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 784Please respect copyright.PENANA92guW7Cs29
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.784Please respect copyright.PENANA9OHN8MDdwj
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAEz582fumFx
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.784Please respect copyright.PENANAM5VN4aUxeM
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAeyrnl30J4g
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."784Please respect copyright.PENANAVqbPqc41vl
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"784Please respect copyright.PENANA08bO7G9r4h
I didn't say anything as784Please respect copyright.PENANAw36LAHLZiQ
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 784Please respect copyright.PENANA9iJ0LVLqVs
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 784Please respect copyright.PENANAqtw7OVBNie
Hyun-suk's voice.784Please respect copyright.PENANALSjx3LdCW9
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.784Please respect copyright.PENANA1V6gRRsZtC
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.784Please respect copyright.PENANAcAygF3A373
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.784Please respect copyright.PENANAK4k8RCZGd6
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.784Please respect copyright.PENANAyfJbwMr3VO
I checked around with my784Please respect copyright.PENANA2QB321AnvR
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 784Please respect copyright.PENANAAePGHKX5J5
the light went on in the tiny room.784Please respect copyright.PENANA0wF7Sx6GzH
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAgKbSr5pLWP
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.784Please respect copyright.PENANA3i92EDun79
I shook my head. "They are still there."784Please respect copyright.PENANAUocbG2XynI
Mino and Zoey both 784Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ6whLWgJ0
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 784Please respect copyright.PENANAsxcCzwnU0y
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 784Please respect copyright.PENANA5VGhKq9Ob2
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 784Please respect copyright.PENANANLQ70cmS5k
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 784Please respect copyright.PENANAj6KEDzho7s
behind me.784Please respect copyright.PENANAFDTDNLKJqv
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.784Please respect copyright.PENANArhPQZG8Kru
"I think they are gone," I whispered.784Please respect copyright.PENANAz80k4FZLWi
"Try and check," Mino whispered.784Please respect copyright.PENANAZdmHLp2HZz
I took hold of the door 784Please respect copyright.PENANAotMPAYURoO
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 784Please respect copyright.PENANAb5c4AziwHd
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of784Please respect copyright.PENANAWgLqTEnIS8
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.784Please respect copyright.PENANAk6XC4sYHPr
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.784Please respect copyright.PENANALrB8mgl9XU
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.784Please respect copyright.PENANASRKvmTHWsK
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.784Please respect copyright.PENANApntkYgFJBX
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.784Please respect copyright.PENANAsMXfypSr3C
The three of us were 784Please respect copyright.PENANAzgsbJCjJUR
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 784Please respect copyright.PENANApSNadSkmUo
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was784Please respect copyright.PENANA6GT4YgpXhO
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 784Please respect copyright.PENANAq0Rjvarp0P
heard the phone ring.784Please respect copyright.PENANAEQS2OBFgRN
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.784Please respect copyright.PENANAP7o6ihb7N9
I quickly took the bag 784Please respect copyright.PENANAoWwbETnnyh
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 784Please respect copyright.PENANAEufeklX2lc
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 784Please respect copyright.PENANAP6gfuG054P
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 784Please respect copyright.PENANA8o6EysP2BA
anything strange."784Please respect copyright.PENANAaP6T3uk2ST
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANA0UNjeYYOgU
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."784Please respect copyright.PENANAYbRmBZDL98
Mino and Zoey quickly 784Please respect copyright.PENANAuk53lytpG3
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 784Please respect copyright.PENANAm6TIQccqEO
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 784Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qfq0MEq4o
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 784Please respect copyright.PENANA1hOXngxlDB
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 784Please respect copyright.PENANADBUlnMUTrE
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.784Please respect copyright.PENANAG1YzTONV5i
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."784Please respect copyright.PENANAvS8juthSIY
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.784Please respect copyright.PENANAWgyIYUD7EH
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."784Please respect copyright.PENANAfGbHQlc9zM
I gave them a little 784Please respect copyright.PENANAXPwA37o3rK
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 784Please respect copyright.PENANAY8rOo3xE8B
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 784Please respect copyright.PENANArOBC0aHHI3
the place.784Please respect copyright.PENANARJbnmGnvR1
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAwCXwclFuOF
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.784Please respect copyright.PENANAGs63KxUxQg
"I must say, I watched 784Please respect copyright.PENANAatIzdo4SgO
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 784Please respect copyright.PENANAMZeE6gbKxH
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 784Please respect copyright.PENANArMirdcXGsq
black suit.784Please respect copyright.PENANAKS40iZkWbg
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.784Please respect copyright.PENANAcG3wsq80Hw
"You really do have good manners," said other man.784Please respect copyright.PENANAXoh9It1XIX
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.784Please respect copyright.PENANAj7ZKwzm6yx
"I always do my best," I said politely.784Please respect copyright.PENANAfOJi9iyfUJ
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.784Please respect copyright.PENANA0bhatFBVDo
I felt my eyes were 784Please respect copyright.PENANA8s68LkkeE0
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 784Please respect copyright.PENANAQcKmJA5wCz
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 784Please respect copyright.PENANAq2CUMuQe1U
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 784Please respect copyright.PENANAYB57T2nvZl
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.784Please respect copyright.PENANAjQzVjooGc3
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"784Please respect copyright.PENANAWDdNrdctuJ
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me784Please respect copyright.PENANAWnVu2Qi0ov
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 784Please respect copyright.PENANAbBCWOkdZes
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAwa514ch0Vo
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.784Please respect copyright.PENANAItPdCBBfNT
"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."784Please respect copyright.PENANA1BIVcR4Mjl
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.784Please respect copyright.PENANApiw31LTgo8
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.784Please respect copyright.PENANA6JRq6kElUi
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."784Please respect copyright.PENANAuwkTuuxxaO
I smiled as I bowed my 784Please respect copyright.PENANAS63yKUJkVl
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 784Please respect copyright.PENANAGERFzf9NHB
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 784Please respect copyright.PENANA2KyqI0DHj7
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I784Please respect copyright.PENANArk5KvDLSDm
was until now.784Please respect copyright.PENANA67YgF3meH4
I quickly ran to the 784Please respect copyright.PENANAVhBlLcTKwy
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 784Please respect copyright.PENANAsoHkEGa0A4
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 784Please respect copyright.PENANAvhHIGJ4NQt
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 784Please respect copyright.PENANACd0faVWC1T
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 784Please respect copyright.PENANAo5W4AQBAdx
see.784Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ0HivRTNA
"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.784Please respect copyright.PENANALlnlDdckK8
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."784Please respect copyright.PENANA5P8MmTeE1z
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.784Please respect copyright.PENANAmQDeGDoG26
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.784Please respect copyright.PENANAEYYGfJEp9t
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.784Please respect copyright.PENANAZiFy6IEybR
"Because I missed you."784Please respect copyright.PENANAoXUbJ5ANGQ
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.784Please respect copyright.PENANAdPjO4Bio5A
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.784Please respect copyright.PENANAzoSCxMeOY8
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.784Please respect copyright.PENANAdUs63TzNJS
When we reached the 784Please respect copyright.PENANA9kNodwRY1I
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 784Please respect copyright.PENANAmbwhdrGwR2
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 784Please respect copyright.PENANASJqnsckMff
lobby.784Please respect copyright.PENANAChnpZlp5YX
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.784Please respect copyright.PENANAClOgXB82t4
"I think I've an idea," I784Please respect copyright.PENANAMEP2Gen9lU
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going784Please respect copyright.PENANAMFvLgs2ihR
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 784Please respect copyright.PENANAksru6qwqgd
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."784Please respect copyright.PENANALYWXK4N3at
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.784Please respect copyright.PENANAeR3qW1bkMl
I rolled my eyes. I 784Please respect copyright.PENANA1CJ26C2fsD
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself784Please respect copyright.PENANApqaBoezlS6
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 784Please respect copyright.PENANARbEqdWMZum
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.784Please respect copyright.PENANASZF60Q5uqq
"Because I'm smart 784Please respect copyright.PENANAaMb9WS3usl
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such784Please respect copyright.PENANAdeiV9xKKqx
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"784Please respect copyright.PENANA06YL0eRv0O
Mino and TOP smiled at 784Please respect copyright.PENANAJymS8Kl1Xf
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 784Please respect copyright.PENANAZSaTw9tNRj
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 784Please respect copyright.PENANACziOKgNqZd
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.784Please respect copyright.PENANAbk4IKbOl2Z
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."784Please respect copyright.PENANAdu8cItqDt2
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAxlv3AU5xY4
"If we don't take the 784Please respect copyright.PENANAtjEWsAFgSl
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 784Please respect copyright.PENANAIwHi0sgHt1
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."784Please respect copyright.PENANAcanvmRigPf
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.784Please respect copyright.PENANASrlTNZvEo5
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.784Please respect copyright.PENANAMbuqBFRnSE
"You guys go right now 784Please respect copyright.PENANAiymLJWFAJV
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 784Please respect copyright.PENANAdWlrzk0Vcj
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."784Please respect copyright.PENANAtobmiuwfdF
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.784Please respect copyright.PENANAD2HLkALT2d
"Because I need you around."784Please respect copyright.PENANA3SzQa075KB
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.784Please respect copyright.PENANAKIyOf27Kus
Seungyoon and his group 784Please respect copyright.PENANAZGOhhM9Irf
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 784Please respect copyright.PENANA386bIGMGwq
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 784Please respect copyright.PENANAMTZrginuJN
for ten minutes.784Please respect copyright.PENANAsaflCD9DNt
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZnRJT8iuT
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.784Please respect copyright.PENANA1XNKIQsqh5
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.784Please respect copyright.PENANAMmD6Pvm44j
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.784Please respect copyright.PENANA5vPG5Vocxh
"So if you guys are 784Please respect copyright.PENANAzzrbi1Y6Wt
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 784Please respect copyright.PENANAvpoYzLdOhf
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAZTSUZjR7jY
"Why do you ask?" I asked.784Please respect copyright.PENANAQnmLZQzerh
"You guys can't just 784Please respect copyright.PENANA36Pyep48QO
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 784Please respect copyright.PENANADnEgDAsL6I
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 784Please respect copyright.PENANARmhnq1GMUs
managers will find out what's going on."784Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ5dXPIBqW
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.784Please respect copyright.PENANAsfs1Fs8tYh
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.784Please respect copyright.PENANAAOucJx77V5
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.784Please respect copyright.PENANAbnxR7rWFtW
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."784Please respect copyright.PENANA3YWw1sWHU1
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."784Please respect copyright.PENANA8q5rQRAFQE
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.784Please respect copyright.PENANAxaq7udKUIO
The others quickly 784Please respect copyright.PENANAYO7PpiAeAd
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 784Please respect copyright.PENANAUGR8vAGNIN
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 784Please respect copyright.PENANAhCtadmZZ20
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 784Please respect copyright.PENANAbMdrjqRb2f
worried that they might have hit their heads.784Please respect copyright.PENANAvZbV5g1O46
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.784Please respect copyright.PENANATdjqzp30f3
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."784Please respect copyright.PENANA00qmhd6XJA
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.784Please respect copyright.PENANAmlXdRn09RZ
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.784Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ44IINIH6
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.784Please respect copyright.PENANAGdL7dL58Zj
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"784Please respect copyright.PENANAhRIXLSYntZ
As soon as I turned 784Please respect copyright.PENANA5YxiziVWlM
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the784Please respect copyright.PENANAmUbOZ48FrF
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 784Please respect copyright.PENANATStA8cqWvT
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 784Please respect copyright.PENANAkjgwTjNzsi
behind me paused ready for the worst.784Please respect copyright.PENANAlM2ce3ozgH
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.784Please respect copyright.PENANAvTFqTXUPrj
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."784Please respect copyright.PENANAC6HRYvpZ75
"Well, this day just got784Please respect copyright.PENANAxVkbcHTLAF
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about784Please respect copyright.PENANAnDj385DXpN
it. I couldn't blame him for that.784Please respect copyright.PENANAKqlNjbmIW0
Coming out of the 784Please respect copyright.PENANA3bUC1v7wfA
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 784Please respect copyright.PENANAYagHCf5Zbl
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 784Please respect copyright.PENANArso1UtYorp
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.784Please respect copyright.PENANAfg77vnfxLy
I felt like I had stood 784Please respect copyright.PENANA3mNYka18Xu
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged784Please respect copyright.PENANAKYooGqysUJ
me on the shoulder to get my attention.784Please respect copyright.PENANAurK2KQBmfb
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.784Please respect copyright.PENANACe1S2VsyVO
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.784Please respect copyright.PENANA1tGKE13XgO
