“It’s just a sprain that will heal in a day or two,” said the handsome, male Korean doctor who wore a causal blue golf shirt with white chinos and matching white canvas. Anyone who would see him now wouldn’t think twice that he is a medical doctor. “If she doesn’t strain herself too much, she’ll be fine.”132Please respect copyright.PENANA2a3X64jrKq
132Please respect copyright.PENANABBgx6d6JJf
132Please respect copyright.PENANA5SiMfXgYXj
“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.”132Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ3JW9YCkM
132Please respect copyright.PENANAkP30zhs5Vn
132Please respect copyright.PENANA6P9ErCzVvX
“I told you I’m fine,” said Christine. Collins gave her a look that told her to be quiet. Christine read it and quickly looked up at the ceiling like she hadn’t said anything.132Please respect copyright.PENANAMvKAydiVNf
132Please respect copyright.PENANAjcfWmk4e9O
132Please respect copyright.PENANA0MhF0mbXqm
“I can recommend a good painkiller to ease off the pain,” said the doctor. “She’ll be fine. I’ll be taking my leave now, that’s if everyone else is okay.”132Please respect copyright.PENANAZ77O4Fo2Wc
132Please respect copyright.PENANAWZsjqDlvaw
132Please respect copyright.PENANAkhCHznCgcb
“Thank you, doctor,” said Lee as she stood up from the other couch she had been sitting on. “The other Toxins are fine. If you ask me, most of them are as tough as nails.”132Please respect copyright.PENANAkcZ4NuGoxV

132Please respect copyright.PENANAPTDRG11edB

132Please respect copyright.PENANAjIQXhjM5mx

Before the doctor and Lee could turn around to leave the lounge, Daniel and I quickly left our spot at the entrance of the lounge and silently ran down the hall, and entered one of the rooms with the door slightly open to peak in the hall. Mike and Zoey who hid on the other side pretended as if they were approaching the elevator, looking occupied with phones in their hands.132Please respect copyright.PENANAgujzrLF5JN
132Please respect copyright.PENANAO32i6EfdHg
132Please respect copyright.PENANArBbCC2mC9i
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. As soon as the doors closed, Daniel and I quietly ran out of the room, while Mike and Zoey also made their way back to the lounge.132Please respect copyright.PENANAQsy9uCZ1Vq
132Please respect copyright.PENANA4KkONpRBVx

132Please respect copyright.PENANAYGcYcQonxP
132Please respect copyright.PENANAblLbDGWyay

132Please respect copyright.PENANAietWcsNh5i

132Please respect copyright.PENANAWcinLd1KEO
132Please respect copyright.PENANAFSvVosLp8f
“Tighten up security wherever you go,” Collins replied. “We don’t want people knowing much about Johnny at such a time, so we’ll have to keep this hidden from the fans as much as possible.”132Please respect copyright.PENANALbkLULpZtj

For those of us who stood at the door of lounge, we moved aside for Collins to pass as he went down the hall to his room. In turn, we entered the lounge. Zoey and I went to sit on either side of Christine, while the boys went to sit on the other couch.132Please respect copyright.PENANAFrtbdaTjTC

132Please respect copyright.PENANAk7651qL7n4
“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?”132Please respect copyright.PENANAR04TS66r9C
132Please respect copyright.PENANAKJMKPFI98g
132Please respect copyright.PENANArlGxclK0QI
“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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAiK3JO6Ix6I

132Please respect copyright.PENANAatl5EEXDZc
132Please respect copyright.PENANAdviLTmdc48
We started to make our way out of the room. And with Christine, she walked at a steady pace.132Please respect copyright.PENANAh8BFgXGGdq

132Please respect copyright.PENANAmLgqoKs59U
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANA5vSmlMHTfo

“Do you think Johnny will have a chance to get near us?” Daniel asked as he looked out the window, watching the people and the buildings as the car drove through town.132Please respect copyright.PENANA6kqx2LiBzm
132Please respect copyright.PENANAaTTuJJ4JIW
132Please respect copyright.PENANAZit2wMN9bq
“He would,” Zoey answered, sitting in front of me. “It’s Johnny we’re talking about.”132Please respect copyright.PENANAOPFDAkGHiX
132Please respect copyright.PENANAui33QDhDsw
132Please respect copyright.PENANAkS2bwxqMCI
“We just have to be careful with who we let in whenever we go,” said Collins who sat in the front passenger seat. “We also had to alert security at YG just to be safe.”132Please respect copyright.PENANAIcDh7XDMwB
132Please respect copyright.PENANAU0UeG465K9

“This time if he does do anything funny, please try and not do anything stupid,” said Lee as she looked at each one of us.132Please respect copyright.PENANA70DEDmGzd7
132Please respect copyright.PENANA7EbsbrgDJz

132Please respect copyright.PENANAaNwtngcEYa
132Please respect copyright.PENANAi0guPfD76P

132Please respect copyright.PENANATEPxLb1av9
132Please respect copyright.PENANA8hJEkgQBHD
The five of us didn’t say a thing. It’s exactly what we had been talking about a few minutes ago back at the hotel.132Please respect copyright.PENANAhnzcNhtJ6r
132Please respect copyright.PENANAHQytATRHwm
132Please respect copyright.PENANAojPQXWRKmZ
“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?”132Please respect copyright.PENANAP5LR1TkWVF
132Please respect copyright.PENANA7XdANzS8dg
132Please respect copyright.PENANAN6FxunuDpf
The five of us exchanged looks. Lee and Collins are really on to us now. They don’t have to worry, though. We already decided not to do anything about it.132Please respect copyright.PENANA4cwuCzmhFv
132Please respect copyright.PENANAbYIPLRaEBx

132Please respect copyright.PENANAILyjwBBIZu
132Please respect copyright.PENANAnBY55sIi7D
“I think you all know how that went,” I said, rolling my eyes and closing the door behind me as I was last to enter the room. “Didn’t you see what happened at the end of the movie?”132Please respect copyright.PENANAEY5SkdGkjp
132Please respect copyright.PENANAavnj7Ihr4u
132Please respect copyright.PENANAKExDMgACq4

“Could it be that he didn’t mean any harm?” Jinwoo who was seated on the couch at the other end of the room, asked.132Please respect copyright.PENANAqkudQoNoFd
132Please respect copyright.PENANA3H2QNXb1I4
132Please respect copyright.PENANAot3f3Se1aH
“Don’t even try and bail him out of this,” said Zoey as she wagged her index finger. “He’s been doing things like this whenever he gets near us.”132Please respect copyright.PENANAwq1rgB4QWw
132Please respect copyright.PENANAkvNW6t78Ph
132Please respect copyright.PENANA0dwN8lQs9N

132Please respect copyright.PENANAL35LlrRGvn
132Please respect copyright.PENANAkrWj0TuvCv

132Please respect copyright.PENANAUwiLG2hLv8
132Please respect copyright.PENANAGzxLX0ep3q

132Please respect copyright.PENANAZmT8QWnmGZ
132Please respect copyright.PENANAUBVeEBGqh0

132Please respect copyright.PENANAOwJhEQmW3w
132Please respect copyright.PENANA2TkBpP2IWh
“No, but she can’t risk herself with strenuous activity,” I answered. “That being said, you better go take a seat, Christine.” I came to stand next to her.132Please respect copyright.PENANAo5VsoFbr4p
132Please respect copyright.PENANA9UMggnOEhN
132Please respect copyright.PENANAfqTRuOnFFa
“Sure,” she started to make her way to the couch with Seunghoon and Mino stepping aside for her to pass.132Please respect copyright.PENANANyDBheoztk
132Please respect copyright.PENANAGjkLMN0NWk
132Please respect copyright.PENANAbmFZk1s5c8

132Please respect copyright.PENANAXQv5U1juAd
132Please respect copyright.PENANALBqU56RSli
“I’m fine, seriously,” she said. “Like Sam said, if I don’t strain myself, I’ll be fine. Probably by tomorrow.”132Please respect copyright.PENANArrQWwcYJ62
132Please respect copyright.PENANArkOhseLKqr
132Please respect copyright.PENANAfpnwQHZc0q
She sat on the couch and Jinwoo sat next to her, but not too close. I wanted to say something cute about the two of them, but I controlled myself as I remembered that I’m not supposed to.132Please respect copyright.PENANACzxhZNEJeQ

132Please respect copyright.PENANA6rQvgNlPzD
132Please respect copyright.PENANARTZ9waozK7
“They were here early in the morning, but they had to meet with the manager as they've to start working an upcoming album soon,” Seunghoon answered.132Please respect copyright.PENANAuRjOwVbS8D
132Please respect copyright.PENANAUDGwkpRcP6

“Don’t think about it, Sam,” said Seunghoon as he came to stand next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders, drawing me closer. He felt so warm, surprisingly. “Since you guys worked on it, I’m sure it will be great.”132Please respect copyright.PENANAlRb4cney6A
132Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ4PaTSEyK

132Please respect copyright.PENANAv1VLVtbuEl

132Please respect copyright.PENANAuNPRCem1Cr

132Please respect copyright.PENANAquITLJPKha
132Please respect copyright.PENANAjTML6V7pJr

132Please respect copyright.PENANAKSFnlci9xz
132Please respect copyright.PENANAcn2lC7DY0S

132Please respect copyright.PENANAbdIkCAadil
132Please respect copyright.PENANA8xeyGcO4os

132Please respect copyright.PENANAfgv8pvMjmC
132Please respect copyright.PENANAdX3FpUN6gt

132Please respect copyright.PENANABwNeznLMHM
132Please respect copyright.PENANAvNfbB2Riam

132Please respect copyright.PENANAU49TYdzH6C
132Please respect copyright.PENANAGiL2j2WXeD

"Zoey!” Christine and I looked at Zoey. She might be upset, but wishing ill on others is going a little too far.132Please respect copyright.PENANAq9h9Vgzwr0
132Please respect copyright.PENANAd9dlriJe2f
132Please respect copyright.PENANANoQHKrVVIH

132Please respect copyright.PENANAstpXu7KwrK
132Please respect copyright.PENANAzaYWqpR5oL
"I thought you would never ask," said Zoey as she excitedly turned to look at Mino who sat next to her. Before she could utter a word, she noticed that a lot of us were looking at her with perplexed looks. Just a minute ago, she looked like she was about to punch the wall. Now she looked cheerful.132Please respect copyright.PENANA1c4JWYjCd6
132Please respect copyright.PENANAH1kbKtwkqy
132Please respect copyright.PENANAujDNFO53N7
"Sam and Mike can tell you," she said, as she let out a funny laugh. It’s so unlike her. There could only be one reason for this, and some of us aren’t going to point it out just yet.132Please respect copyright.PENANAQCANovy2mL
132Please respect copyright.PENANA4HeS9vM4Cz
132Please respect copyright.PENANAlWLJGKGj11
Mike went on to tell the others about it, and a few of us chirped in here and there. In what felt like an hour of chatting and goofing around, the door flew open and the BlackPink members came in.132Please respect copyright.PENANAU2wSGaTGap

132Please respect copyright.PENANAveCSEG3Oey
132Please respect copyright.PENANAOU9j1ng7uV
"Ya, they were there," said Christine. "And the funny part is they weren't invited. Johnny is the person who caused the fans to run after us."132Please respect copyright.PENANAwYCI36Qirs
132Please respect copyright.PENANAuJR3qXr0sQ
132Please respect copyright.PENANAgnJu7WyXBZ

132Please respect copyright.PENANAAsjpKsYliK
132Please respect copyright.PENANAGTZD6xsGnE

132Please respect copyright.PENANAIQB2ALdqFR
132Please respect copyright.PENANAJOtpqUAb84

132Please respect copyright.PENANAx55Wzi0ekQ
132Please respect copyright.PENANA2vJ3xRhOQX
"True," said Lisa. "You don't mind if I try and call him, will you?"132Please respect copyright.PENANAqvfhXz9bZY
132Please respect copyright.PENANAmn14qTBZG5
132Please respect copyright.PENANAJEAT0I1czU
"I guess," I turned to look at Zoey who already had her head turned to look elsewhere. "Zoey is way more upset than we are, though."132Please respect copyright.PENANA0WkRfFJNhC
132Please respect copyright.PENANA0diIyZr11s
132Please respect copyright.PENANAH05APWZbF6
"She can call him," said Zoey. "I'll be fine. I won't do anything stupid."132Please respect copyright.PENANAotEBkeZ8zq
132Please respect copyright.PENANATH6n2WMRJU
132Please respect copyright.PENANAWMTgUWLpHr
Lisa pulled out her phone from her fancy blue purse and called G-Dragon. She even made sure to put the phone on loud speaker for everyone to hear.132Please respect copyright.PENANABGAMesX9os
132Please respect copyright.PENANAOWSMl6nH9v
132Please respect copyright.PENANAQtWAwh75Wb
His phone on the other end started to ring. We all waited in silence for what felt like a minute when Zoey said:132Please respect copyright.PENANAreotleaZQ7
132Please respect copyright.PENANAvueu2tIvZP
132Please respect copyright.PENANArNuwINpF7s
"Something must have happened to him. Why isn't he picking up?"132Please respect copyright.PENANAAGgrV4tWqM
132Please respect copyright.PENANAASI2fhx5Ef
132Please respect copyright.PENANAWWgwcHeB7J
Then came a cracking sound and GD's voice came up, loud and clear:132Please respect copyright.PENANAYDxtqWfDjs
132Please respect copyright.PENANAlN4zA2AU8o
132Please respect copyright.PENANANUIKl2NRi0
"Hello, Lisa."132Please respect copyright.PENANApG29HiOooz

132Please respect copyright.PENANALbu4cr37f6
132Please respect copyright.PENANAoq5ata2pk1

132Please respect copyright.PENANAeYFLyB20BG
132Please respect copyright.PENANAEmckvYFPbR

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:132Please respect copyright.PENANAslD6GlR6SS
132Please respect copyright.PENANA9KQLVMc17h

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.132Please respect copyright.PENANANktR7UiUsT
132Please respect copyright.PENANAHxIaI2FU5e
132Please respect copyright.PENANAVyQ3CvYLMy
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.132Please respect copyright.PENANAgUCryaE9Jn
132Please respect copyright.PENANAvGiSukhOb9
132Please respect copyright.PENANAVxox55nada
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.132Please respect copyright.PENANAdFW8L7ohyV
132Please respect copyright.PENANAzZoqTEYJpm
132Please respect copyright.PENANAIFuvvrIRh4
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.132Please respect copyright.PENANA500G1VR5Pn
132Please respect copyright.PENANAuGrkzTKoYJ
132Please respect copyright.PENANAILznCxIjLg
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."132Please respect copyright.PENANAqzz1XrLHQS
132Please respect copyright.PENANALK7aPN3zsu
132Please respect copyright.PENANATEVBp7sNIv
"Hi, Yong-guk," I said as I stood up from my seat and also approached. "For a second there I thought you weren't coming."132Please respect copyright.PENANA3UDYNTihK6
132Please respect copyright.PENANAu7kH5nETpK
132Please respect copyright.PENANAkElSjH7q0q

132Please respect copyright.PENANAgR3ttvD96J
132Please respect copyright.PENANAdD6gO3D2lG
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANA4frKcbDnVs

132Please respect copyright.PENANA6plSuVgpGu
"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?132Please respect copyright.PENANA4jn2r0bsz7
132Please respect copyright.PENANAsDyAsOU25i
132Please respect copyright.PENANAGgXEwiJzYE
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.132Please respect copyright.PENANAa11stIXZlO
132Please respect copyright.PENANAwyvSPzfJ7g
132Please respect copyright.PENANAT8Jd2dlauR
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANADiCwBYuAbV
132Please respect copyright.PENANAJvVJRcOv0T
132Please respect copyright.PENANAopqM8h68cU

"I just want to ask how you were able to come up with your amazing songs," said Mino.132Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xbu5QFciO
132Please respect copyright.PENANAeF9tKZWHdQ
132Please respect copyright.PENANATvMqD2NbEA
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.132Please respect copyright.PENANAG1l66uX7TV
132Please respect copyright.PENANAF6l0cyV0n3
132Please respect copyright.PENANA9wWBAgPNkb
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.132Please respect copyright.PENANAMjH4P49kMn
132Please respect copyright.PENANAis15jgtIz6
132Please respect copyright.PENANAGL8xiLXS7R
"You don’t have to worry about him," said Seunghoon as he leaned in a little closer on my shoulder. "He can take care of himself."132Please respect copyright.PENANA8YZYF7Ulo9
132Please respect copyright.PENANAqJGrhamAaq
132Please respect copyright.PENANAwkqC7bo4Yp
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.132Please respect copyright.PENANA9mu7PglQap

132Please respect copyright.PENANASzlVskkDZa
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."132Please respect copyright.PENANADrwh7GmydQ
132Please respect copyright.PENANARLlI6XsB85
132Please respect copyright.PENANAecs5U68eZH
"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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAd9lkFWp64w
132Please respect copyright.PENANAjhsEU90ChC
132Please respect copyright.PENANAgAsZtbSpwE
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.132Please respect copyright.PENANAy297uwPsgc
132Please respect copyright.PENANA6hJn1UMOI9
132Please respect copyright.PENANAy6t3aUNDbI
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."132Please respect copyright.PENANABUgHJctGhc
132Please respect copyright.PENANACmAZsgLr6t
132Please respect copyright.PENANAOSZe454LWN
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.132Please respect copyright.PENANAD9oOwLy4Wq
132Please respect copyright.PENANApv59SPxDHO
132Please respect copyright.PENANAgkfWGrTuG6
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANANNLhXZt1hj
132Please respect copyright.PENANAc8MHwGzoFk
132Please respect copyright.PENANAYKYKCelQPU
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.132Please respect copyright.PENANABJRxVGgv9G
132Please respect copyright.PENANAzwilzgloPT
132Please respect copyright.PENANAp7ADUnTsoT
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."132Please respect copyright.PENANAFdAcTmyFnA
132Please respect copyright.PENANAf1xn4Rkx1S
132Please respect copyright.PENANAPE95bQ4Svv
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."132Please respect copyright.PENANAtiDPdIN5lf
132Please respect copyright.PENANAaQlWP5wAsd
132Please respect copyright.PENANAvr9AkHMCOi
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAZNM4zaIqAj
132Please respect copyright.PENANAWrbLx4iRu3
132Please respect copyright.PENANAqTrRapziZ4
"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."132Please respect copyright.PENANAANM2o0dYfi
132Please respect copyright.PENANAv1sQePBBv6
132Please respect copyright.PENANAlBD6WdAbrA
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAfuVQUbyqeW
132Please respect copyright.PENANAihLfrha4SH
132Please respect copyright.PENANAaC3VnOlmFg
"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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAdgmyHHyxcb
132Please respect copyright.PENANAvZCxNAt4G2
132Please respect copyright.PENANAIQlzYSPI03
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAriE1YHAgsD
132Please respect copyright.PENANA3V5Ou7dptj
132Please respect copyright.PENANACMRVTPAWzp
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.132Please respect copyright.PENANAJp2tGt0Bg9
132Please respect copyright.PENANAA2XuHFV0Z6
132Please respect copyright.PENANAK4PNfZ6bl2
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"132Please respect copyright.PENANA9zxKWEMsnp
132Please respect copyright.PENANA51cecUnX4a
132Please respect copyright.PENANACqjx9PWpIm
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAdhOnuXTTdi
132Please respect copyright.PENANAEHV4mMWF9a
132Please respect copyright.PENANAS4Sckm2Np4
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.132Please respect copyright.PENANANJefysjzFk
132Please respect copyright.PENANA8hdFcmxCBP
132Please respect copyright.PENANAjWI9YcMYq7
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:132Please respect copyright.PENANAgXsIUitYKX
132Please respect copyright.PENANAa5CCSTgDXc
132Please respect copyright.PENANA9IIuUSNale
"Yes, I do."132Please respect copyright.PENANAZoPLdUJrcz
132Please respect copyright.PENANAinQqU4Ccsr
132Please respect copyright.PENANAMYTK8NfTss
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.132Please respect copyright.PENANAo5gNZkz5nc
132Please respect copyright.PENANAYBLmH7Z9XY
132Please respect copyright.PENANAZHi9caGadB
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.132Please respect copyright.PENANAR7YOH7oPrE
132Please respect copyright.PENANAxhinkvSMTo
132Please respect copyright.PENANALJEXON8ESb
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAwz7Fj6Q3f1
132Please respect copyright.PENANAe4uVhLWqG3
132Please respect copyright.PENANA6ahEhxiVJg
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
