Meeting WINNER the 761Please respect copyright.PENANAowOTPMc2pc
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 761Please respect copyright.PENANAK6iQSBlsch
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 761Please respect copyright.PENANALvtUbPs0YR
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 761Please respect copyright.PENANAO9eTrE7GcN
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 761Please respect copyright.PENANA3Niytftd3Y
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.761Please respect copyright.PENANAN7YB3rLG3I
With the little time we 761Please respect copyright.PENANASAecVZt4oA
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again761Please respect copyright.PENANAtrHH0e24Lt
as we all got to know each other.761Please respect copyright.PENANAHRNMXeZjHG
Seungyoon, the leader 761Please respect copyright.PENANAcTuQ37acdV
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 761Please respect copyright.PENANAEva1AFWDsP
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a761Please respect copyright.PENANAZlYxaIAiOH
fun and nice person to be around with.761Please respect copyright.PENANAR8w4WsQ8He
Then there is Mino, who 761Please respect copyright.PENANAzSWFEI7iKi
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for761Please respect copyright.PENANA5FVDrmrybw
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 761Please respect copyright.PENANAgFEZUERz9H
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.761Please respect copyright.PENANA2bCYcYv7iF
As for Jinwoo and 761Please respect copyright.PENANA9Oo5mzr28C
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.761Please respect copyright.PENANANdpSuk8TQv
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 761Please respect copyright.PENANAMwYY7TStbu
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 761Please respect copyright.PENANA4WWwaqThow
in Korea.761Please respect copyright.PENANAFiIfBY7ASK
As for Seunghoon, I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAsArmO1vW5K
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking761Please respect copyright.PENANAFLwVc69fYs
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 761Please respect copyright.PENANAztkXvIKA5R
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.761Please respect copyright.PENANA2FeI1dhEkl
Before they left, we 761Please respect copyright.PENANA6EWTuzM10j
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 761Please respect copyright.PENANAyH7ewDoQyA
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 761Please respect copyright.PENANAMcS22Q8b9Q
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 761Please respect copyright.PENANAljZch7l9hX
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done761Please respect copyright.PENANARPveLYW6g2
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 761Please respect copyright.PENANAoc7sE0cJd5
place?761Please respect copyright.PENANAfc4OjEYgqQ
I already had that part 761Please respect copyright.PENANAla5Gs5Xqp5
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 761Please respect copyright.PENANASOhEYmt5TH
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 761Please respect copyright.PENANAfZq6uZ6E40
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAta9u6nZzCe
wouldn't have to break a sweat.761Please respect copyright.PENANApPnwAikajo
Right now, this very 761Please respect copyright.PENANAhJqQs9c2uQ
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 761Please respect copyright.PENANAzDmtr4CNM6
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 761Please respect copyright.PENANASoukl7EdAY
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee761Please respect copyright.PENANAHDnjCA0AA4
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 761Please respect copyright.PENANAtwk9Iii9fH
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 761Please respect copyright.PENANA9Fja71yjtI
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.761Please respect copyright.PENANAj54K6j4qyq
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.761Please respect copyright.PENANAtoISEhprt7
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAzR6JOlAfYc
"I'm tired of sleeping,"761Please respect copyright.PENANAzkFc7OfTrC
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 761Please respect copyright.PENANAlfCuVN6YtQ
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 761Please respect copyright.PENANApbT8l9DlhV
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.761Please respect copyright.PENANAwcKhjxMtBY
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.761Please respect copyright.PENANAotUsZhs2CZ
"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."761Please respect copyright.PENANAdK27amPZF1
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.761Please respect copyright.PENANA4QxGb9esyC
"You know, going for 761Please respect copyright.PENANAHZQCKXitL0
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAfJOko57QCa
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 761Please respect copyright.PENANAFkYtkOqCDI
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 761Please respect copyright.PENANAfi6JDMvGKo
we try to do what we're familiar with."761Please respect copyright.PENANAup5lOGnb00
"Mmmm, I guess you're 761Please respect copyright.PENANAHijLGY9KB8
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 761Please respect copyright.PENANAaFNthBh5gG
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 761Please respect copyright.PENANARFXOgIs5ML
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."761Please respect copyright.PENANAL9UkbzIh4m
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.761Please respect copyright.PENANATE310VubFh
"Yep," Collins nodded 761Please respect copyright.PENANAPQAJPAuAAm
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 761Please respect copyright.PENANAhe6HKVck5K
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 761Please respect copyright.PENANAQu4YAb0mej
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 761Please respect copyright.PENANAgZK9xcj3Gf
good now, will it?"761Please respect copyright.PENANADnVx41ecdf
Wow. This was literally 761Please respect copyright.PENANAxgqLXY66iu
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 761Please respect copyright.PENANAfBIGBdQlKa
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.761Please respect copyright.PENANAl1htcyayUY
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.761Please respect copyright.PENANArh7nlLx5Pt
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.761Please respect copyright.PENANAxial6rOdqX
I left the lounge at a 761Please respect copyright.PENANAz5R8rUMJEn
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 761Please respect copyright.PENANAIZZGUdOXYC
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door761Please respect copyright.PENANA4tjyfnxDXn
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.761Please respect copyright.PENANAJP77b6g7x1
Zoey sat up with a start761Please respect copyright.PENANAFaDSkFpnaM
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 761Please respect copyright.PENANAP65vWUdcbE
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.761Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0bGuVkOeJ
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAdMkq5LMUL6
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.761Please respect copyright.PENANAOKCL5GSpKZ
At first she didn't say a761Please respect copyright.PENANAtwsvuuWHKF
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 761Please respect copyright.PENANAKiLCsm3eMW
looking at me with her eyes wide open.761Please respect copyright.PENANANsKGAg56hz
"What did you say?" she asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAoCX2DKXiss
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.761Please respect copyright.PENANAAa0aYScZSh
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAvsuuidaGcs
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."761Please respect copyright.PENANAzIQyvG5gJP
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAntJS8RWdnk
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."761Please respect copyright.PENANAS5EYPi5vzz
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."761Please respect copyright.PENANArKvdInl9ua
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.761Please respect copyright.PENANAmlZ9FMc1M8
I went to wake up 761Please respect copyright.PENANAAQsbRGbzMX
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I761Please respect copyright.PENANAQEdN8WsFbe
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.761Please respect copyright.PENANAM5IvCQkYOg
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAoZjDu3Oejp
"I gave a reasonable 761Please respect copyright.PENANAQrVFvvDXsf
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 761Please respect copyright.PENANA4RXDvxyF11
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAOf5kPYPNuO
I noticed Christine 761Please respect copyright.PENANAiEHeEDst7Z
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly761Please respect copyright.PENANAI1yY9yVQWc
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 761Please respect copyright.PENANALcW5nWf78R
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 761Please respect copyright.PENANAVUQUCmYgTb
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.761Please respect copyright.PENANAOU8CgN3qX1
When we all had our bags761Please respect copyright.PENANAc9ZDurrM8Z
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 761Please respect copyright.PENANAHoW6LgiDiD
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 761Please respect copyright.PENANAVu7Uhd5MMq
looked at us.761Please respect copyright.PENANAX8UzW5xZ8U
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.761Please respect copyright.PENANA2VOTAvi9fJ
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."761Please respect copyright.PENANAXu3O9LsPS1
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.761Please respect copyright.PENANAzWnzINxVcC
"I hate when you use my 761Please respect copyright.PENANA2yK5RsIVbE
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 761Please respect copyright.PENANAGK0WNYItdj
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."761Please respect copyright.PENANAXki9ls3En9
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."761Please respect copyright.PENANAnuqtOQsyfD
Collins rolled his eyes 761Please respect copyright.PENANAVelye3rxIm
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 761Please respect copyright.PENANAksewHHvsaO
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."761Please respect copyright.PENANAWBdiqL2oZc
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAPg9x9QdyAo
"I would really love to,761Please respect copyright.PENANA9NYBMhYLKV
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass761Please respect copyright.PENANA1T3HxysOQb
by at lunchtime to check on you."761Please respect copyright.PENANATs6zqAUTSl
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.761Please respect copyright.PENANAfrxhaKQBvG
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.761Please respect copyright.PENANAKACRSVJ0xF
"Nothing," said Christine.761Please respect copyright.PENANA81GvITcjpu
I noticed Mike give 761Please respect copyright.PENANA7j3MyCO3Li
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut761Please respect copyright.PENANA6K8k7xpBJA
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 761Please respect copyright.PENANAttSTL0evit
going on.761Please respect copyright.PENANAs63lbAszia
"It's just about the 761Please respect copyright.PENANAaDEFbZNCCh
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 761Please respect copyright.PENANANTvdJz7meU
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 761Please respect copyright.PENANAvxkRaebN0g
happened."761Please respect copyright.PENANA8WTp1jgTAA
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."761Please respect copyright.PENANAynym4agBJQ
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."761Please respect copyright.PENANAXGPeBjAeqc
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.761Please respect copyright.PENANAFP7pT5AlV9
When we arrived at YG, 761Please respect copyright.PENANAgK6wvYJQwb
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 761Please respect copyright.PENANAOIYDMZ9Sg1
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.761Please respect copyright.PENANAMlNlUY54Eg
"I already informed the 761Please respect copyright.PENANAqwPY6TZjlc
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 761Please respect copyright.PENANAK5c7O08EGa
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAAn9urzfLXG
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."761Please respect copyright.PENANA0qYFQpbH4a
"I know you will. See you later."761Please respect copyright.PENANASBc65vYwPn
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.761Please respect copyright.PENANAum0aQyoqcf
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.761Please respect copyright.PENANARmLyNST9LG
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.761Please respect copyright.PENANA2OzFuOGVRJ
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.761Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1XQpbKGZF
"Careful, Zoey," I said 761Please respect copyright.PENANAhmRllNSR2a
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 761Please respect copyright.PENANAIrUd1K8dX8
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."761Please respect copyright.PENANA24Na8GjLN4
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.761Please respect copyright.PENANAXDTNHjMlTX
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAex4UBsEkSw
"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.761Please respect copyright.PENANApBRrCvkxCq
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.761Please respect copyright.PENANAhJzgYV12J2
"No," I said as the 761Please respect copyright.PENANA8jwWlETT89
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 761Please respect copyright.PENANALhj2HAnKWN
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 761Please respect copyright.PENANAJRkA9nAnnj
studios.761Please respect copyright.PENANAsSZ3jBto0W
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.761Please respect copyright.PENANAtitNLSFT5o
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."761Please respect copyright.PENANAV3UVdic4tE
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."761Please respect copyright.PENANA3ztVCcIcSb
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.761Please respect copyright.PENANAIPFeXaSHMa
"That's different."761Please respect copyright.PENANAVtiTGYNOSb
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."761Please respect copyright.PENANAXX3IbZd3b1
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAVimvpDFm5R
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."761Please respect copyright.PENANAiSwY8KZXDJ
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.761Please respect copyright.PENANAlX9yuFCdIj
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.761Please respect copyright.PENANASkI1Q3jL61
It was so much fun 761Please respect copyright.PENANAhN9b385ASf
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 761Please respect copyright.PENANAC2oB6T1tPe
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 761Please respect copyright.PENANAJJH3XlFqtT
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.761Please respect copyright.PENANAIDJSefMOrU
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.761Please respect copyright.PENANAoGB2nxxdRz
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.761Please respect copyright.PENANAxD0AhX0vOF
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."761Please respect copyright.PENANAl3uKIPlREP
"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."761Please respect copyright.PENANAVic4rAlOH0
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAQT4iVM1Vst
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.761Please respect copyright.PENANAeP6cvLb51D
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.761Please respect copyright.PENANA6vXmt2fGv1
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."761Please respect copyright.PENANAp3kyY3q1uF
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."761Please respect copyright.PENANAGus1hbHVep
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."761Please respect copyright.PENANADycpXkOHQw
"Come on, Zoey," I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAAwVNiIchRS
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 761Please respect copyright.PENANAPmA9GyjmkN
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."761Please respect copyright.PENANA0aZ9Qk8K2x
"What song?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAwnTRZAMcAi
I didn't answer when I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAbyKP0yvfk9
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 761Please respect copyright.PENANAunVQgzpsQF
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 761Please respect copyright.PENANAvIQMmncDFe
pill soon started to play.761Please respect copyright.PENANAykU1Bfkyv1
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.761Please respect copyright.PENANAgIv5UKkbCs
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.761Please respect copyright.PENANAuyzxkrFmX0
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.761Please respect copyright.PENANArFPVK6F3O4
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.761Please respect copyright.PENANAfOKEynYz55
It's been a while since I761Please respect copyright.PENANAPYaqWX3PlN
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 761Please respect copyright.PENANASFQd2kPo3L
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 761Please respect copyright.PENANA5OC2jUzsIJ
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.761Please respect copyright.PENANAFy9Y9iEHVh
At the end of it, the 761Please respect copyright.PENANASl36xixsXH
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 761Please respect copyright.PENANAwbUZfWeS7m
our moves synchronising with one another.761Please respect copyright.PENANANOTbxoo7JZ
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.761Please respect copyright.PENANAhePT8a9VzN
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."761Please respect copyright.PENANAI9Qg9yGFfR
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.761Please respect copyright.PENANA0Eks9awPt3
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.761Please respect copyright.PENANAOftGWgwLdT
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAlJK9BCByLt
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."761Please respect copyright.PENANANuwItGjutr
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."761Please respect copyright.PENANARPMbazwmZL
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.761Please respect copyright.PENANApGE4olgyDk
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.761Please respect copyright.PENANADx8y3vm41T
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAoJt8orpUk2
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.761Please respect copyright.PENANA4nX6mRACMX
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAYIQxJExX9R
Mino and Seunghoon both 761Please respect copyright.PENANALFu0IfYant
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 761Please respect copyright.PENANAiMMBBPJrKB
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.761Please respect copyright.PENANAGDfl8of37t
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.761Please respect copyright.PENANAUWkhgGRhe9
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.761Please respect copyright.PENANAEFjrqzd6ev
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."761Please respect copyright.PENANARITAavvPCX
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.761Please respect copyright.PENANAcxcbkOX0Mc
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAXzuw8niooE
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 761Please respect copyright.PENANAJiCNdqma3X
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."761Please respect copyright.PENANASKtasLvwCF
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.761Please respect copyright.PENANA6PgjUvMhtf
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.761Please respect copyright.PENANAifJZkyE1f5
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAJEWlAKG9NL
I nudged my head to the 761Please respect copyright.PENANA5ypuutpj0Y
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 761Please respect copyright.PENANADLuTVdh1wZ
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the761Please respect copyright.PENANA4IKPErQyEW
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.761Please respect copyright.PENANAqxUMcgyNOU
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.761Please respect copyright.PENANAYAcDRKvIzl
Seunghoon lips were 761Please respect copyright.PENANA86JncOeK96
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was761Please respect copyright.PENANA1QN6krvKfz
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose761Please respect copyright.PENANASpnDF2RHlj
focus.761Please respect copyright.PENANAg3TJU0FFbI
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.761Please respect copyright.PENANA2f9oTOLZFX
"The others might, but I761Please respect copyright.PENANAUtNWHhm43F
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going761Please respect copyright.PENANAj0FEm4JVzv
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 761Please respect copyright.PENANATfrjVlTEll
when TOP came to pick me up?"761Please respect copyright.PENANArZj4LNzTAQ
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."761Please respect copyright.PENANALBeGSvRW5T
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"761Please respect copyright.PENANABG2JGFt9c3
He again took a step closer. "Yes."761Please respect copyright.PENANAc519JyLPiD
Well, that made sense 761Please respect copyright.PENANAWJAWlF8lFs
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 761Please respect copyright.PENANAv8hYodDmra
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 761Please respect copyright.PENANAiAYx9lYrlP
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 761Please respect copyright.PENANA6TjGEi6OX5
seen.761Please respect copyright.PENANAKsj5SqI8Lb
I hadn't realised it 761Please respect copyright.PENANAokU4uJf9cg
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking761Please respect copyright.PENANAx5z9yxvOcH
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 761Please respect copyright.PENANANO7Pk0f0hj
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 761Please respect copyright.PENANAxdiOPSnK4i
uncomfortable.761Please respect copyright.PENANAeM7Jwq7jzw
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.761Please respect copyright.PENANAWXTfJtU7mt
"Well, yes," he 761Please respect copyright.PENANAaFEE2OpLPN
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 761Please respect copyright.PENANAv0xKFXWlIl
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."761Please respect copyright.PENANACbOoOgtnq5
"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."761Please respect copyright.PENANADN6rraxjZP
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.761Please respect copyright.PENANAUyCiYZOIqw
I blushed and I was a 761Please respect copyright.PENANAMw4IBB07NM
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 761Please respect copyright.PENANAoM4iHGjAUJ
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 761Please respect copyright.PENANAvtopdg6bAZ
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 761Please respect copyright.PENANA8m8Kt5Z2EX
celebrities.761Please respect copyright.PENANAjf2DxumHqa
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"761Please respect copyright.PENANA273YlUbMB8
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.761Please respect copyright.PENANAOW1GPM1hCW
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."761Please respect copyright.PENANAEksT0AtJFt
"No, they don't," I lied761Please respect copyright.PENANA8XQv347P30
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 761Please respect copyright.PENANArkh16nKkfz
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 761Please respect copyright.PENANAvz8GiZBeoB
others had arrived.761Please respect copyright.PENANAz5qmrMVjSe
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.761Please respect copyright.PENANAYgJNf6SNYD
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.761Please respect copyright.PENANA0CjzqphQBw
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.761Please respect copyright.PENANAnJMEBGvy1V
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAELJOpoc49x
"Awesome," I replied.761Please respect copyright.PENANAgCo2UWnURg
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.761Please respect copyright.PENANAbhzehgvpol
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.761Please respect copyright.PENANAamtquFWF4l
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.761Please respect copyright.PENANAGu1e1gF9C6
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.761Please respect copyright.PENANAEJuAbcNpOn
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.761Please respect copyright.PENANARK1p1pxHtd
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.761Please respect copyright.PENANAO2F3pq3BEU
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."761Please respect copyright.PENANAU3fRjpESfC
"And besides, you and I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAtbF6hkyvx2
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 761Please respect copyright.PENANAEcWOw6kYzE
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 761Please respect copyright.PENANAx5GbK9WBEe
and Seunghoon showed up."761Please respect copyright.PENANA83zamCytCN
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.761Please respect copyright.PENANA0xKt9orkZ4
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.761Please respect copyright.PENANARNJbsvY4gQ
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."761Please respect copyright.PENANA7wdV9K4n9b
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.761Please respect copyright.PENANA8EAbAcYRu3
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.761Please respect copyright.PENANAsYAriYuqjP
Apparently, he wasn't 761Please respect copyright.PENANAbjDTem7Elu
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all761Please respect copyright.PENANAgXI80fTbQo
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that761Please respect copyright.PENANAqAzQTY5omw
just made him look even more adorable.761Please respect copyright.PENANA8aw4DBYzKE
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.761Please respect copyright.PENANA3kCmzSJsHb
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."761Please respect copyright.PENANAkEWre6xLpo
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.761Please respect copyright.PENANAoEF1qOyEzd
"Yes!" I heard the four 761Please respect copyright.PENANAISiqrnfuQ4
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 761Please respect copyright.PENANAVcIDRoywWl
at the track list. Then, something came to me.761Please respect copyright.PENANAJmlVFalQjZ
"Change of plans, Zoey,"761Please respect copyright.PENANAPi8POmVLf8
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want761Please respect copyright.PENANAY2bKJsCZWW
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."761Please respect copyright.PENANAz7mrLGhGIj
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."761Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ8xSwrBhy
"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."761Please respect copyright.PENANAc3bmuUIkQs
"This just got interesting," said Mino.761Please respect copyright.PENANAv7aHeJHSSx
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAReyM4XStVP
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."761Please respect copyright.PENANAXzfQo0HsBK
"Taeyang is going to 761Please respect copyright.PENANAXwHmOtjI3T
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 761Please respect copyright.PENANAGNv11ZoH5t
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."761Please respect copyright.PENANAh4Awq6HLjh
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."761Please respect copyright.PENANA7INXuLd6ay
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.761Please respect copyright.PENANARWzmyWnuBI
I tapped the track on my761Please respect copyright.PENANATOmpYSPpxW
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 761Please respect copyright.PENANAgg8yJJMbGG
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.761Please respect copyright.PENANAbD2E2dgLc5
When the song started, I761Please respect copyright.PENANAc0LgMAw6vS
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 761Please respect copyright.PENANAlmpdjFMZs6
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 761Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ1kSqGSBf
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 761Please respect copyright.PENANA9Pefbh8dGa
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to761Please respect copyright.PENANA9kWPZOtm3E
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 761Please respect copyright.PENANA0wO8sPXlB2
doing a pretty good with the moves too.761Please respect copyright.PENANAVKeOJLJwLB
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.761Please respect copyright.PENANA23EltUCcZ7
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.761Please respect copyright.PENANAO0NIEuU0LY
"Whenever it came to the761Please respect copyright.PENANAqnu9l25HGF
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 761Please respect copyright.PENANAMlCDLfOw26
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."761Please respect copyright.PENANANpTcQfCzuT
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."761Please respect copyright.PENANA6rSxcFKNdL
"Thanks, guys," I said.761Please respect copyright.PENANAmcgIk0R4Ct
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.761Please respect copyright.PENANA4n27AnRjBw
"Now, coming to my 761Please respect copyright.PENANAkEKR0PuoBi
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 761Please respect copyright.PENANALtGg7ARfOd
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 761Please respect copyright.PENANAWWfL1LZeUf
think is a better dancer?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAFn8h2dvKma
"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."761Please respect copyright.PENANAuAO5EVc0RU
"Why?" Zoey asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAZPVuTgzVHQ
"I think you and I both 761Please respect copyright.PENANAHcOTRSlS91
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 761Please respect copyright.PENANAzhFaJsANHN
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 761Please respect copyright.PENANA4UCsG8WeMa
That counts for something, right?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAAsdBbkGRo6
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."761Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ2aRVwNhY
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."761Please respect copyright.PENANABjtgdFTRwV
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.761Please respect copyright.PENANATrHLqPB8Qw
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"761Please respect copyright.PENANACTmueAbd18
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAaoZZgPm3li
"Well, ya." Mike 761Please respect copyright.PENANAbiuEkpfaNp
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 761Please respect copyright.PENANAh8gqiNUIis
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 761Please respect copyright.PENANAz28MWiTETX
sentence as he looked at Zoey.761Please respect copyright.PENANA7X54g8CRQZ
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."761Please respect copyright.PENANAZADKywXhEL
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.761Please respect copyright.PENANAQXwull09ay
"I also think it will be761Please respect copyright.PENANAcKuUo88L9N
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 761Please respect copyright.PENANAmlF64VPg1M
obviously bring out a better opinion."761Please respect copyright.PENANAze0liPjGMk
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.761Please respect copyright.PENANARuS3o8IiWd
"Count me out of it," I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAMbao5hiqB5
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAhgxkC29ume
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."761Please respect copyright.PENANAI0gUxjvAA6
"Fine, I'll create a 761Please respect copyright.PENANAA2aA8iMcTN
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how761Please respect copyright.PENANATBgxd7hlZq
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though761Please respect copyright.PENANAHkoTN2bxpp
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."761Please respect copyright.PENANA3vsqA5kMub
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."761Please respect copyright.PENANA2wTnGMPCIi
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."761Please respect copyright.PENANAYW3WJWnzh6
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.761Please respect copyright.PENANA6SBaZdNCzq
Zoey and Mike soon got 761Please respect copyright.PENANAy0GyzrAgcY
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 761Please respect copyright.PENANAy43eLaLzbA
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 761Please respect copyright.PENANAvoNyr0td8H
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance761Please respect copyright.PENANAw8l4e6QX0a
battle.761Please respect copyright.PENANA0XHvrg2geW
I got my phone and the 761Please respect copyright.PENANAX0veDBCWpr
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 761Please respect copyright.PENANA5YK50K0sZX
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.761Please respect copyright.PENANAPtZN6OmhFC
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.761Please respect copyright.PENANAvnzF5ZKutz
I turned to look at him 761Please respect copyright.PENANAsM7KFtndgs
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 761Please respect copyright.PENANA6YGmD9Lfyz
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 761Please respect copyright.PENANAqmtHqzTBe4
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 761Please respect copyright.PENANAZTOU2KKzYb
smile if they were to look at him.761Please respect copyright.PENANAoHuJ43EBML
"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."761Please respect copyright.PENANAKWc4UJLiK5
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.761Please respect copyright.PENANAWqx8xh1G7k
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."761Please respect copyright.PENANAn7AIy1BnvA
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."761Please respect copyright.PENANAX2FvcoU9wK
"You're right about that."761Please respect copyright.PENANAqMMzglCWp7
I looked behind me with a761Please respect copyright.PENANAKCzvHiMttE
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 761Please respect copyright.PENANAeuDKV6ol8J
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 761Please respect copyright.PENANAh4By1D436M
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 761Please respect copyright.PENANAIf7f0QvMWU
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.761Please respect copyright.PENANA16CYxeON16
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 761Please respect copyright.PENANAFVCiX45cMM
"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."761Please respect copyright.PENANAG3kjTzpbcv
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"761Please respect copyright.PENANADasqXDj4H8
"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."761Please respect copyright.PENANANw0wD4bAa7
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."761Please respect copyright.PENANAFk3ueaR4Gk
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."761Please respect copyright.PENANACYIrzi4n0B
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.761Please respect copyright.PENANAJsm374RQ2D
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.761Please respect copyright.PENANAbJnKLFsloK
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANASET4XZTPnp
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."761Please respect copyright.PENANAWOIEwNHKIy
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAl1gtVg1ThV
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."761Please respect copyright.PENANASM1etEuePh
"I sure hope so," I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAzpns0SrjAO
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 761Please respect copyright.PENANABwpAr7DJ6M
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."761Please respect copyright.PENANAj0dcDpqzkn
"What about those two?" 761Please respect copyright.PENANAizDVlvVYT3
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 761Please respect copyright.PENANAP2Pj1mf24b
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 761Please respect copyright.PENANAMGPTPItmFF
soon.761Please respect copyright.PENANABJjaWoxWoI
"They will notice when 761Please respect copyright.PENANAswhUUi2bNl
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 761Please respect copyright.PENANAe2cmX4SoIM
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAWFQOn70kH5
"Sure," he said with a smile.761Please respect copyright.PENANANIXSVZXokQ
Christine, Daniel and I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAhzfEeVVzqK
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 761Please respect copyright.PENANAaLjx4YFhqo
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.761Please respect copyright.PENANA9jnoJwCB04
Twenty minutes later, I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAl7TnPmGtkB
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 761Please respect copyright.PENANAL7K5nXzZvT
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 761Please respect copyright.PENANA0cmWwUEC8W
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 761Please respect copyright.PENANAXqd6wKmspa
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 761Please respect copyright.PENANAGWzZH9uG5Q
in the shower room, still patching herself up.761Please respect copyright.PENANAOyrl9knbqI
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.761Please respect copyright.PENANAhl8TdbRIc4
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."761Please respect copyright.PENANAOmmcU7MLxK
"Why? Anything special?"761Please respect copyright.PENANA5hNHqmghsH
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.761Please respect copyright.PENANAPALhstoFfx
"Oh, nothing," I stared 761Please respect copyright.PENANAgGZUD6CmrD
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAaCNH8vp21O
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 761Please respect copyright.PENANAzZxu9wuG8k
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."761Please respect copyright.PENANALknOsqV32V
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.761Please respect copyright.PENANALH8OXMRpsz
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.761Please respect copyright.PENANAsEMd3LOHib
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.761Please respect copyright.PENANAVM7HbubIJQ
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.761Please respect copyright.PENANAZxuz6kSh8U
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."761Please respect copyright.PENANA3re7Db8AZB
"What are you talking about?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAqSB5FEhhHO
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAGSeTycQxb7
Christine's mouth fell 761Please respect copyright.PENANAmqUbZsfL7b
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 761Please respect copyright.PENANAMLEKZy3Bji
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.761Please respect copyright.PENANAgkYIc3EdkD
"No, I don't," she said.761Please respect copyright.PENANA5Te1tLxK7m
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAM1TkyEAvNt
do like him but only as a fan girl."761Please respect copyright.PENANALjm6QiGspH
"Please, I saw the way 761Please respect copyright.PENANAp2gVILSm3M
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that761Please respect copyright.PENANAonZ90oHcSa
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."761Please respect copyright.PENANAAjB83XpOvR
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 761Please respect copyright.PENANA33jJrngiA5
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of761Please respect copyright.PENANAl34mkqFSGf
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 761Please respect copyright.PENANAibBRNsMGLF
more."761Please respect copyright.PENANA7H5Ai7hYTm
"Ya, right," I said as I761Please respect copyright.PENANArN9IlAnSGK
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 761Please respect copyright.PENANAsgu3NSTHKr
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 761Please respect copyright.PENANAqVZLTOw8Fu
weird look on your face."761Please respect copyright.PENANAQoovIZKyVF
"What weird look?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAhahYASRlA0
"The jealous one."761Please respect copyright.PENANAZzD3ZEZQyS
"Spare me the drama, Sam."761Please respect copyright.PENANAjEZ9iCBAXZ
"If Zoey was the one 761Please respect copyright.PENANAp1e1DPe4FC
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 761Please respect copyright.PENANA0nCaE4JsYW
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 761Please respect copyright.PENANAtI2JLnLHkw
Jinwoo."761Please respect copyright.PENANAXykMqZMRiI
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.761Please respect copyright.PENANASLppd7z7fc
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAApPxA0gSsT
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."761Please respect copyright.PENANA83MBOGwRBE
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.761Please respect copyright.PENANA2FA5YBz8Du
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.761Please respect copyright.PENANAmGJoz3otot
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.761Please respect copyright.PENANAcdpuVEg6e2
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.761Please respect copyright.PENANApi6ZKbCucJ
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.761Please respect copyright.PENANAb30QeUOwqQ
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"761Please respect copyright.PENANA0PWX0wiLjZ
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.761Please respect copyright.PENANA0GZf1rRuri
Mike gave Christine a 761Please respect copyright.PENANAWliIKdvtWO
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 761Please respect copyright.PENANAzKkDLd6Rxl
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't761Please respect copyright.PENANAMRNP70Z2Jb
wrong about that.761Please respect copyright.PENANA17BJ5gZUJh
We decided to go back to761Please respect copyright.PENANAjde3fwfgFm
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 761Please respect copyright.PENANA8JjLOMShzk
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,761Please respect copyright.PENANABkifUkru7v
this happened:761Please respect copyright.PENANAd5fl8VR9lO
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.761Please respect copyright.PENANArWQVzI6p3B
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.761Please respect copyright.PENANAPrpRNfqqpc
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.761Please respect copyright.PENANAhF3YZghBMq
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."761Please respect copyright.PENANAOKl1P7tOZ1
I wanted to frown at him761Please respect copyright.PENANACLUk303REz
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 761Please respect copyright.PENANAr1DzldAcfy
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.761Please respect copyright.PENANAOpiWE6CFxX
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.761Please respect copyright.PENANAsshkgQxhrn
I looked at Jinwoo and I761Please respect copyright.PENANAMtUlSdqBJT
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 761Please respect copyright.PENANAEsFfwKcBen
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 761Please respect copyright.PENANAPlzG54PyZC
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.761Please respect copyright.PENANA4dnrWMv4Gd
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.761Please respect copyright.PENANAFU5nBbigSe
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAhJMyhQ78tb
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.761Please respect copyright.PENANAvs3UqhJR6r
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."761Please respect copyright.PENANAuYRtq0lcD9
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAlIgARNVIgK
"Good idea. Let's go."761Please respect copyright.PENANASqQfvPU6JG
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAaxS46r3h24
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.761Please respect copyright.PENANAfsapSnezKN
Before he could say 761Please respect copyright.PENANAj55gHlKYxP
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I761Please respect copyright.PENANAmvwAqw1hhS
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped761Please respect copyright.PENANANq6vqlhsYI
out of the room, he was snickering.761Please respect copyright.PENANAfbxzPm6NZi
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.761Please respect copyright.PENANAUUsAQOaqFp
"Just because I'm his 761Please respect copyright.PENANAUy28qd8pqg
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being761Please respect copyright.PENANAU5OEoegcLo
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAHdvOBNrnDh
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."761Please respect copyright.PENANA33K8yRUnid
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"761Please respect copyright.PENANArwi7KzHhcd
"Actually, it was only 761Please respect copyright.PENANAVgF7KbOyZW
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 761Please respect copyright.PENANAsw5Eop1XH5
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."761Please respect copyright.PENANAOg6imbDnP4
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.761Please respect copyright.PENANAJxA9yuHtkC
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.761Please respect copyright.PENANAE69z7C1p1T
When we got to the 761Please respect copyright.PENANA93fTVDXK1x
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 761Please respect copyright.PENANAzDBBxiRAeS
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 761Please respect copyright.PENANA92dktPTkeg
inside the elevator.761Please respect copyright.PENANAmJYeXBzRe1
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.761Please respect copyright.PENANAfSilkzImxh
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."761Please respect copyright.PENANApQ0kkCHJbG
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.761Please respect copyright.PENANA0sRsv6H4Bi
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.761Please respect copyright.PENANA7arGXbIVGc
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."761Please respect copyright.PENANAJPbKDRnpEa
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.761Please respect copyright.PENANAfYfXKGUfxW
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ1scrrtSe
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."761Please respect copyright.PENANAkZjuzR0Qvc
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."761Please respect copyright.PENANAX59YA3dmN0
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."761Please respect copyright.PENANAN2EZHtopdl
"Well, if you're 761Please respect copyright.PENANAb0xtIkw52J
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 761Please respect copyright.PENANASYBKbx7hrU
his face and I could tell something was up.761Please respect copyright.PENANAHZD4vO51PA
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAXUeJtzuA4s
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."761Please respect copyright.PENANA0k2f1Lm6gs
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAiZwiC7gmYV
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."761Please respect copyright.PENANAsljVrUCoqV
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.761Please respect copyright.PENANAUvCpa9VX0r
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."761Please respect copyright.PENANAO2EPMD3GVG
"I came to see you guys 761Please respect copyright.PENANA0PxLXGdpAN
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 761Please respect copyright.PENANALOS8LI40Xl
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."761Please respect copyright.PENANAuVa1Jjeqvi
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."761Please respect copyright.PENANAs8FFrrFGnK
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."761Please respect copyright.PENANAVAhKXnjwHj
"Okay, then you go and 761Please respect copyright.PENANAmdKg6GmFRF
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino761Please respect copyright.PENANAxcaogQgrZz
to get Zoey as fast as we could."761Please respect copyright.PENANAamjAgG5z3c
"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.761Please respect copyright.PENANAOavFrmZDVv
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.761Please respect copyright.PENANAr6hHzWWuw5
We headed downstairs to 761Please respect copyright.PENANAL5ONjLIvLd
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 761Please respect copyright.PENANAx1YaT3C5ct
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.761Please respect copyright.PENANAXHxGWSVVdQ
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAhyqcjrQhkn
"Trying to look good," 761Please respect copyright.PENANAmQOMjDQdBj
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 761Please respect copyright.PENANAaeNZAUDowu
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 761Please respect copyright.PENANAHPjAKspda8
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."761Please respect copyright.PENANA57vAzacyfF
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.761Please respect copyright.PENANAuY7cqBQyMJ
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.761Please respect copyright.PENANAFixLYno0TS
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."761Please respect copyright.PENANAK8AXEpzZ0T
"You're kidding, right?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAC3JtRML2s3
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."761Please respect copyright.PENANA7jih8a4uD9
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAbZdEenskxm
"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."761Please respect copyright.PENANA5otoo49QCg
Just as I turned around 761Please respect copyright.PENANApORAiWBfCF
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 761Please respect copyright.PENANAM7tnetO3oE
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 761Please respect copyright.PENANAsIPJq7J3xF
the the floor we were on.761Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3CDjL0Zqk
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.761Please respect copyright.PENANA0QDaQkYFX8
Just as we turned round a761Please respect copyright.PENANAtpl5mEMcBB
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 761Please respect copyright.PENANAXvB54KGbon
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAhTXPZyrdmx
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 761Please respect copyright.PENANA4ivHZ3xI5N
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.761Please respect copyright.PENANAtwYWRM6gCx
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAZaxR69WzzZ
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.761Please respect copyright.PENANAdKklFq6FZR
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAatzMPHt6hs
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."761Please respect copyright.PENANA5tdcIUjGgK
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAD9QQ688qx2
I didn't say anything as761Please respect copyright.PENANAl6WTR8XbY2
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 761Please respect copyright.PENANAil7JzrajSN
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 761Please respect copyright.PENANAqNWOldPsSk
Hyun-suk's voice.761Please respect copyright.PENANAMKx0gyhyCk
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.761Please respect copyright.PENANA4QynQLPoKS
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.761Please respect copyright.PENANAHfEOxmq9p5
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.761Please respect copyright.PENANAKzOS4DRntX
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.761Please respect copyright.PENANAT2dzHVCOCZ
I checked around with my761Please respect copyright.PENANAPa0Du74p3N
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 761Please respect copyright.PENANAFLrOFE1S6I
the light went on in the tiny room.761Please respect copyright.PENANASxRXmFVawl
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANA2bIa0LYz4O
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.761Please respect copyright.PENANAfiocqkMip4
I shook my head. "They are still there."761Please respect copyright.PENANAdDZknRwMqp
Mino and Zoey both 761Please respect copyright.PENANAz4Jy1yjgZK
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 761Please respect copyright.PENANAM3oyWuj2qX
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 761Please respect copyright.PENANA30Z6Fxanky
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 761Please respect copyright.PENANAVQWCn9Jht9
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 761Please respect copyright.PENANAPs4B2D5njk
behind me.761Please respect copyright.PENANAvRmvrIa8oI
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.761Please respect copyright.PENANA63T1zgj6Op
"I think they are gone," I whispered.761Please respect copyright.PENANAcQpZg37yHW
"Try and check," Mino whispered.761Please respect copyright.PENANA4rcLrm6KcH
I took hold of the door 761Please respect copyright.PENANAeqb7hLEUY9
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 761Please respect copyright.PENANADpiMDupvww
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of761Please respect copyright.PENANAibztGeSUFK
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.761Please respect copyright.PENANA0YxAft0O8a
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.761Please respect copyright.PENANA3PyR2twOX4
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.761Please respect copyright.PENANABVWIWYaJsL
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.761Please respect copyright.PENANAhx60eKJN5V
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.761Please respect copyright.PENANAFvtR3tz32X
The three of us were 761Please respect copyright.PENANA3CQBIxdrb4
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 761Please respect copyright.PENANA2wiUg0iyYH
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was761Please respect copyright.PENANAOnEhuxOgsT
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 761Please respect copyright.PENANAIxPniVIZfd
heard the phone ring.761Please respect copyright.PENANAF5PWlK6quV
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.761Please respect copyright.PENANARnJfqT84KY
I quickly took the bag 761Please respect copyright.PENANA80DbUR41Oc
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 761Please respect copyright.PENANAGSoEFj1NiB
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 761Please respect copyright.PENANApiXakdYlbB
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 761Please respect copyright.PENANAy3fUD8U7c2
anything strange."761Please respect copyright.PENANA9liCHq7HYP
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAmV4wGBRSvO
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."761Please respect copyright.PENANAhTqN9Ymmea
Mino and Zoey quickly 761Please respect copyright.PENANALs2FUiwenF
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 761Please respect copyright.PENANAIjfMIrtCM1
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 761Please respect copyright.PENANAZDPTy7kMqn
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 761Please respect copyright.PENANAy002RaZEoc
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 761Please respect copyright.PENANA33s3FqOD4L
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.761Please respect copyright.PENANAOGHuuzmiTt
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."761Please respect copyright.PENANA5lW7NtLyU3
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.761Please respect copyright.PENANA6ko7wdd2uW
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."761Please respect copyright.PENANAEzQmHK2d9Q
I gave them a little 761Please respect copyright.PENANAhG5pCIaeVv
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 761Please respect copyright.PENANABPRPWdfhsL
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 761Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ey2y3pqOo
the place.761Please respect copyright.PENANAl8mlx4kj8V
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"761Please respect copyright.PENANASg2QCyQjCy
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.761Please respect copyright.PENANA0UgS52zXxd
"I must say, I watched 761Please respect copyright.PENANA2xAQx1wD2E
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 761Please respect copyright.PENANAkSoNCARccw
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 761Please respect copyright.PENANA36MjhgrpCp
black suit.761Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8WnfP0QjK
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.761Please respect copyright.PENANA7QixN6zZYA
"You really do have good manners," said other man.761Please respect copyright.PENANAeYCM9mrjB8
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.761Please respect copyright.PENANAJCw86CUoCp
"I always do my best," I said politely.761Please respect copyright.PENANAUveV9rpL9L
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.761Please respect copyright.PENANAJYq2Sr0x5e
I felt my eyes were 761Please respect copyright.PENANAlv8sNdcUlW
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 761Please respect copyright.PENANAvQSJ6efQjM
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 761Please respect copyright.PENANArP9RX8McAe
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 761Please respect copyright.PENANAqRPxcy02at
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.761Please respect copyright.PENANAZF0i3TEiYf
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"761Please respect copyright.PENANAJu7iMPwTwa
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me761Please respect copyright.PENANA9ElZ2uJjrI
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 761Please respect copyright.PENANA0pdxKZwnKD
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"761Please respect copyright.PENANA0KhaVDHaFP
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.761Please respect copyright.PENANAwpg21jKRbu
"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."761Please respect copyright.PENANA6CwoiRdKnq
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.761Please respect copyright.PENANA3o8JD1TWKe
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.761Please respect copyright.PENANA3ARjjiTOsD
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."761Please respect copyright.PENANArRLEdMK8VV
I smiled as I bowed my 761Please respect copyright.PENANAD36K1KETIC
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 761Please respect copyright.PENANA9vmWeFXL9X
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 761Please respect copyright.PENANAyoummhDdPb
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I761Please respect copyright.PENANAppyhtG0roy
was until now.761Please respect copyright.PENANAodhm5UtGXd
I quickly ran to the 761Please respect copyright.PENANArLIMdJ08hq
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 761Please respect copyright.PENANAveW9Kg13sY
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 761Please respect copyright.PENANAKGuPn1YAKO
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 761Please respect copyright.PENANAotwsoFm9lR
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 761Please respect copyright.PENANAS73cUxFsY3
see.761Please respect copyright.PENANA5WMFqOvqBr
"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.761Please respect copyright.PENANABceCNDrQlw
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."761Please respect copyright.PENANAWT8YRofZLl
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.761Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZbwNpTgH3
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.761Please respect copyright.PENANAsPepB0GgWj
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.761Please respect copyright.PENANAyOIerV3Dtg
"Because I missed you."761Please respect copyright.PENANADH8x4hnucE
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.761Please respect copyright.PENANAEejaBUV6jF
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.761Please respect copyright.PENANAfEKKi8yR7M
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.761Please respect copyright.PENANALmKSKDFN4w
When we reached the 761Please respect copyright.PENANAzAWj04VILG
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 761Please respect copyright.PENANAbR2Cr2tsbG
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 761Please respect copyright.PENANA7mAGC515uL
lobby.761Please respect copyright.PENANAOebYRfD8R0
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.761Please respect copyright.PENANAsvfLkXwcAL
"I think I've an idea," I761Please respect copyright.PENANAwwzFt9Zwou
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going761Please respect copyright.PENANABJdvc0TJgE
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 761Please respect copyright.PENANASHKNrv7J2M
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."761Please respect copyright.PENANAwsLbDrRpZ1
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.761Please respect copyright.PENANADLgGqKbUKu
I rolled my eyes. I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAC7VkyG0m2t
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself761Please respect copyright.PENANAp7755quTmu
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 761Please respect copyright.PENANAvdVf7kAfY7
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.761Please respect copyright.PENANA2BtNicmPIW
"Because I'm smart 761Please respect copyright.PENANAwl3POgmQx2
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such761Please respect copyright.PENANAegMeZMxoZB
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"761Please respect copyright.PENANAs2uAWjn4E4
Mino and TOP smiled at 761Please respect copyright.PENANAQ76s4ED6jd
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 761Please respect copyright.PENANAktCLimpa4d
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 761Please respect copyright.PENANAIYWOeZ2AY3
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.761Please respect copyright.PENANAPe0h2gK7mF
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."761Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dln1DnEpF
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAz3D8cPR6F7
"If we don't take the 761Please respect copyright.PENANA2dhKsp5SQV
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 761Please respect copyright.PENANAZLaB6hi4S9
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."761Please respect copyright.PENANAxa4a1kHMNa
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.761Please respect copyright.PENANAFA8MWCejyk
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.761Please respect copyright.PENANA3xeWOarxa1
"You guys go right now 761Please respect copyright.PENANAvaWT7w8C74
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 761Please respect copyright.PENANA8LgcTXhcA4
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."761Please respect copyright.PENANA7AdrxLJbLt
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.761Please respect copyright.PENANAWVEFAg3v6O
"Because I need you around."761Please respect copyright.PENANAKO623lTtcV
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.761Please respect copyright.PENANAOunyc2t3J3
Seungyoon and his group 761Please respect copyright.PENANAJCx2lp44ZN
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAsgWfcSWXuX
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 761Please respect copyright.PENANA2RkDIjh04B
for ten minutes.761Please respect copyright.PENANA4mPLa0lFk2
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAxMehE3DsPg
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.761Please respect copyright.PENANA2I63vHnSOF
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.761Please respect copyright.PENANADpfVV9MLm4
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.761Please respect copyright.PENANAJWpBzNsmZu
"So if you guys are 761Please respect copyright.PENANAjEh2JclMi7
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 761Please respect copyright.PENANA0shIgEDYib
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANAH6xas1qf5e
"Why do you ask?" I asked.761Please respect copyright.PENANA5PCZ9bsqx1
"You guys can't just 761Please respect copyright.PENANAAkmhdrIUpv
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 761Please respect copyright.PENANAVRFoJ8Rluh
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 761Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ29urBNd8
managers will find out what's going on."761Please respect copyright.PENANAig5eIDGs7Y
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.761Please respect copyright.PENANAQeYK83b3L5
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.761Please respect copyright.PENANA1TL8HIgQa9
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.761Please respect copyright.PENANAXfmWHN2loB
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."761Please respect copyright.PENANAPTX56GW7UX
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."761Please respect copyright.PENANAejQ1UrcL5s
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.761Please respect copyright.PENANAGLHq1kj9Su
The others quickly 761Please respect copyright.PENANAn7ktJeIvXL
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 761Please respect copyright.PENANAQotIpdLOTU
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 761Please respect copyright.PENANAw5xGErgGSn
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 761Please respect copyright.PENANANNCUM0DyIA
worried that they might have hit their heads.761Please respect copyright.PENANARTxz6hnKcN
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.761Please respect copyright.PENANAP2zcVF0WGx
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."761Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ9MsvX1hE
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.761Please respect copyright.PENANAGOsLgUMZ6I
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.761Please respect copyright.PENANAivSN59mAXH
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.761Please respect copyright.PENANA8rSWtD0jol
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"761Please respect copyright.PENANA0EsLC4EoWj
As soon as I turned 761Please respect copyright.PENANA2WrrdFaxfk
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the761Please respect copyright.PENANACx5MIy7Wwz
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 761Please respect copyright.PENANAej0wICaAdX
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 761Please respect copyright.PENANAV95Z7gBFYx
behind me paused ready for the worst.761Please respect copyright.PENANA5U74bVYitF
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.761Please respect copyright.PENANApf9TFgUN7i
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."761Please respect copyright.PENANATa3Kg5VYE4
"Well, this day just got761Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ4RmCVsGj
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about761Please respect copyright.PENANAWWJHpbw60M
it. I couldn't blame him for that.761Please respect copyright.PENANAbe529eYi52
Coming out of the 761Please respect copyright.PENANAvUePFdX6yz
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 761Please respect copyright.PENANAVpttr7X02n
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 761Please respect copyright.PENANALuVUJJJhj6
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.761Please respect copyright.PENANARS1VderXWU
I felt like I had stood 761Please respect copyright.PENANAQXeg7CkiDJ
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged761Please respect copyright.PENANAiCzJNy3iNc
me on the shoulder to get my attention.761Please respect copyright.PENANAzIjDFnSt3w
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.761Please respect copyright.PENANAXiPE4sY2Zj
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.761Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZCAM7N3QU
