“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.

“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.”203Please respect copyright.PENANAOf6lruFNIu
203Please respect copyright.PENANA66Y9bJDhew

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.

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.

“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?”203Please respect copyright.PENANAtBg7GC6DF8

203Please respect copyright.PENANAc3PX8RqIha
“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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAwKZarBuuH9

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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAzKZxY0p4KR

203Please respect copyright.PENANAtE03M2bjZM
“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?”203Please respect copyright.PENANAODetbHbbSr
203Please respect copyright.PENANAZCs69Jdazq

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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAwpzpsapm3H
203Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ4oLcdNwl
203Please respect copyright.PENANAvuIg14CYsb
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.203Please respect copyright.PENANAVJOQKy7ZlF
203Please respect copyright.PENANANaywXxneHy
203Please respect copyright.PENANAHErHCPKADD
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.203Please respect copyright.PENANAI0P9LMcXeA
203Please respect copyright.PENANAMRsBhZNQFm
203Please respect copyright.PENANAwt5Xmxfe94

203Please respect copyright.PENANAdVeghR2cib
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAoKaUQu84HN
203Please respect copyright.PENANAgKIjosXvVL
203Please respect copyright.PENANATzou0OCYmd
"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?203Please respect copyright.PENANAhk4vX6dvU3
203Please respect copyright.PENANAQKTKKYTmoA
203Please respect copyright.PENANAWF9tgwuC6m
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.203Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ci0xHORqe
203Please respect copyright.PENANA3wNNYHbqFJ
203Please respect copyright.PENANAqLvzFM7kh5
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAZORS7uPSKi

203Please respect copyright.PENANA5mAh3iSzrW
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.203Please respect copyright.PENANA1s4ZW6cBI5
203Please respect copyright.PENANAMzHDXnpapT
203Please respect copyright.PENANAeh2uLUSFHv
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.203Please respect copyright.PENANANlI8MLwXtd

203Please respect copyright.PENANA5b2Ib1V4fe

203Please respect copyright.PENANAUFNfOzVU1b
203Please respect copyright.PENANA4LzGWLfZc6
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAJJubyiMrwf
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJzPJdFe7n8

203Please respect copyright.PENANA2y8qpWSu5m
203Please respect copyright.PENANAq0FDfkicVN

203Please respect copyright.PENANAp5opeBn4Im
203Please respect copyright.PENANA8oA6LaYmVh

203Please respect copyright.PENANABHP3P0GV2g
203Please respect copyright.PENANAYPRmKnJhOr
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAj2dhNbpged
203Please respect copyright.PENANAXe04CpwRgW
203Please respect copyright.PENANAX7AVUG4447

203Please respect copyright.PENANAbx0e1JsPdG
203Please respect copyright.PENANAoO3t0jS7jt

203Please respect copyright.PENANAmCGXHeg3PQ
203Please respect copyright.PENANApSuMupZHHZ

203Please respect copyright.PENANABJrVfipJol
203Please respect copyright.PENANAhWffrA3TfP
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAW5aSacq7qP
203Please respect copyright.PENANAxTbdKIGjBw
203Please respect copyright.PENANA8L3H50aHvc
"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."203Please respect copyright.PENANAm3TqgMEo5R
203Please respect copyright.PENANA15WRMqggmf
203Please respect copyright.PENANA5rSvxzh0VA
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANA7wyTBogTlq
203Please respect copyright.PENANAVW0900MVXj
203Please respect copyright.PENANAdE3t1PmSMT
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAadsh34z7DQ
203Please respect copyright.PENANA0REXpojokJ
203Please respect copyright.PENANAbcMNsoqBSW
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAKtjssU6Cno
203Please respect copyright.PENANAckSZpHIIUo
203Please respect copyright.PENANAnSFWtVmyHH
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.203Please respect copyright.PENANAhWDiMwvrQ4
203Please respect copyright.PENANARwZMMueaMw
203Please respect copyright.PENANAvPjoD4krGQ
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"203Please respect copyright.PENANAdebvtRtmYE
203Please respect copyright.PENANA6hrqs2X4rG
203Please respect copyright.PENANAIhxRbct93m
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAI2em3Mb1N8
203Please respect copyright.PENANAK2jFLNdjug
203Please respect copyright.PENANA0oeC6p3YDr

203Please respect copyright.PENANAKO08rTvwjQ
203Please respect copyright.PENANAo4MQrpqH5n
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:203Please respect copyright.PENANAJQltY6lGkS
203Please respect copyright.PENANAMOIdqqXY8T
203Please respect copyright.PENANAj42mODtelb
"Yes, I do."203Please respect copyright.PENANATz3SdO3MMK
203Please respect copyright.PENANARI0fioygxo
203Please respect copyright.PENANAFe3qzrE4sK

203Please respect copyright.PENANAFvFj5YMEsn
203Please respect copyright.PENANAvi79PwNaIi
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.203Please respect copyright.PENANAqp1bL7417q
203Please respect copyright.PENANAEEyf19Rzl8
203Please respect copyright.PENANAKYmLUPdzdP
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANA9a0ddcBIqO
203Please respect copyright.PENANANYjVjuJZWt
203Please respect copyright.PENANADK7jYlM6BU
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
