“It’s just a sprain that will heal in a day or two,” said the handsome, male Korean doctor who wore a causal blue golf shirt with white chinos and matching white canvas.

Before the doctor and Lee could turn around to leave the lounge, Daniel and I quickly left our spot at the entrance of the lounge and silently ran down the hall, and entered one of the rooms with the door slightly open to peak in the hall.

The five of us all started to talk at random, saying that we didn't know why she left and that we didn't do anything. A look of confusion soon over Collins and he soon raised his hand to indicate that we should all stop talking.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HEXTizUTK

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.

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.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dFjHoTiwF
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP80clSGd7
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF7UfZniO4

"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?473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEmluY1JuK
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEJxj51ksQ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJb9z4E7Eb

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxEfXqviiS
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwfXELoibM
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.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4chyzYzL3S

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmWAYKYvsm
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNij2NHsQ9
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwhhp4qj55
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQkfWujMfK

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaPR6TODPS
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.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNVikQLsWV
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHdkCmeCSc

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEVgJuG4GG
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.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1HNu3mHLf

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk741j2G2Md
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.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU71UZSOyx
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC2omugSnV
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgHTrEh7W7

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX51aH6RDi
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddt7YeCWv3
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.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeppyeYfIGQ

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7NsCS3Xs4
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmt0TiaREJ
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVRXEw7mG6
