Meeting WINNER the 943Please respect copyright.PENANA679NBAt7xT
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 943Please respect copyright.PENANAwemiWWp7ww
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 943Please respect copyright.PENANACINBRQvhor
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 943Please respect copyright.PENANAwjS2DErpMq
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 943Please respect copyright.PENANAYF6XNT2F0F
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.943Please respect copyright.PENANApdAXakaWbP
With the little time we 943Please respect copyright.PENANAm1NDaPcbwI
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again943Please respect copyright.PENANAaU4dlQ28rR
as we all got to know each other.943Please respect copyright.PENANAD8tHTYc461
Seungyoon, the leader 943Please respect copyright.PENANAM4JQ2fZZBD
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 943Please respect copyright.PENANAbmmXNPRhnz
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a943Please respect copyright.PENANAjbPO7AZkCR
fun and nice person to be around with.943Please respect copyright.PENANAJoDJjRw7Ir
Then there is Mino, who 943Please respect copyright.PENANAdalPhv16VU
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for943Please respect copyright.PENANAgekbd6hHFR
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 943Please respect copyright.PENANAZp311K3p51
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.943Please respect copyright.PENANA4BF6KJ8nq1
As for Jinwoo and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAFWrSOgq8Je
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.943Please respect copyright.PENANADUogi23Kci
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 943Please respect copyright.PENANA5m8NYVLDqf
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 943Please respect copyright.PENANARyayTLDFNd
in Korea.943Please respect copyright.PENANALZsOWtvrSS
As for Seunghoon, I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAriIR9PZYtL
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking943Please respect copyright.PENANAOiQS7eoaEe
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 943Please respect copyright.PENANAgvZW2EV7km
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.943Please respect copyright.PENANAUxAYtR1UHl
Before they left, we 943Please respect copyright.PENANA66WkQFhQmf
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 943Please respect copyright.PENANAv8cs2DqGXS
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 943Please respect copyright.PENANAHMWkugXEz1
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 943Please respect copyright.PENANAJTmO1XR01p
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done943Please respect copyright.PENANAvGnyMhijDV
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 943Please respect copyright.PENANAkoVr4xqQVx
place?943Please respect copyright.PENANAhR74SpvzyY
I already had that part 943Please respect copyright.PENANAr9bInTo13J
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 943Please respect copyright.PENANAe7colwws2H
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 943Please respect copyright.PENANAe8IWD2PqBk
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 943Please respect copyright.PENANArhP8CKtBx6
wouldn't have to break a sweat.943Please respect copyright.PENANAXS2e2RlPZb
Right now, this very 943Please respect copyright.PENANADASKMNSptE
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 943Please respect copyright.PENANALOzWEs5QkL
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 943Please respect copyright.PENANA6h3CuWZkZn
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee943Please respect copyright.PENANAp8BtKWjhkC
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAAN2fkYoQqL
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 943Please respect copyright.PENANAI1vQU5bkNX
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdSyBseQU96
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.943Please respect copyright.PENANAaot53ldc87
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANA8FnvJZdOGK
"I'm tired of sleeping,"943Please respect copyright.PENANAFstprgBv71
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 943Please respect copyright.PENANAHoj0DsFub5
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 943Please respect copyright.PENANA5n1PS4C7Ww
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.943Please respect copyright.PENANA8mD0dKF37X
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.943Please respect copyright.PENANAOrdiyGr1rb
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANAyt6ZuMGQmn
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.943Please respect copyright.PENANA6mqZ6uZBEt
"You know, going for 943Please respect copyright.PENANA91Uugledtq
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 943Please respect copyright.PENANA8sgCPs4O9r
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAVDlDi5nWUV
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 943Please respect copyright.PENANA6vBZPr2hqa
we try to do what we're familiar with."943Please respect copyright.PENANA94w8stMfWc
"Mmmm, I guess you're 943Please respect copyright.PENANADikYYcpC9t
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 943Please respect copyright.PENANA962pxEmmi1
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 943Please respect copyright.PENANAhz9bhzb0FT
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."943Please respect copyright.PENANAMcgMptIzld
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.943Please respect copyright.PENANArtzrDPPOYd
"Yep," Collins nodded 943Please respect copyright.PENANAprUZKkCBCP
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQT3qDA5PWV
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 943Please respect copyright.PENANAlBP2wDKN9M
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 943Please respect copyright.PENANAcw93nWOCUV
good now, will it?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAlbptRru2Py
Wow. This was literally 943Please respect copyright.PENANAjx2ytjPZRz
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 943Please respect copyright.PENANAPwUMbhgt1m
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.943Please respect copyright.PENANAUFfAqxoJNe
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.943Please respect copyright.PENANANYhKeQ0Q84
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.943Please respect copyright.PENANAqJq48PUool
I left the lounge at a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAPFZtg3HTzT
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAstqFflQzTh
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door943Please respect copyright.PENANArQdcpNwQpK
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.943Please respect copyright.PENANAl8AcydvcM5
Zoey sat up with a start943Please respect copyright.PENANAq5b5X674nr
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 943Please respect copyright.PENANArSWX8mbtxh
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.943Please respect copyright.PENANAPcFPg4Fxks
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAxTsLgJFL2E
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.943Please respect copyright.PENANAQUSMBOMPeP
At first she didn't say a943Please respect copyright.PENANA2kisxf4PZ9
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAKbpLGEqiV3
looking at me with her eyes wide open.943Please respect copyright.PENANAls95fwRIv5
"What did you say?" she asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANA3Vol7Tg6HD
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.943Please respect copyright.PENANAnTroDEBBP2
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAR7D1wxycm6
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."943Please respect copyright.PENANAEAuT40MymC
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAAYXuE2wRPl
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."943Please respect copyright.PENANAaKypcdXvUT
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."943Please respect copyright.PENANA5IkhlQvoYU
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.943Please respect copyright.PENANAXu8neRMQDv
I went to wake up 943Please respect copyright.PENANA99IMVb8cFi
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I943Please respect copyright.PENANAWvFt6cTvWp
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.943Please respect copyright.PENANAFnvXIRRtTA
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"943Please respect copyright.PENANADFcYw58OTO
"I gave a reasonable 943Please respect copyright.PENANAeiKOXhroHL
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 943Please respect copyright.PENANA18KOysZ9xv
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAzFpZozBbis
I noticed Christine 943Please respect copyright.PENANAreZbLN3FRX
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly943Please respect copyright.PENANASM0q84CGLG
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMaESXEtRvr
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 943Please respect copyright.PENANAh042UPIYbw
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.943Please respect copyright.PENANAL3LJYXzwK0
When we all had our bags943Please respect copyright.PENANAEsd5wqsi1G
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 943Please respect copyright.PENANAD8dKxeHw38
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMEZfAMYUAA
looked at us.943Please respect copyright.PENANAqMKnVyJSxK
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.943Please respect copyright.PENANAb07GxKr2Yp
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."943Please respect copyright.PENANAo23zENRoMO
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.943Please respect copyright.PENANAX6t2vXFTzX
"I hate when you use my 943Please respect copyright.PENANA3V91gVJls9
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 943Please respect copyright.PENANAaTZ15xVK57
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."943Please respect copyright.PENANAcpOl1Rip59
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."943Please respect copyright.PENANAsRrQAY7E9r
Collins rolled his eyes 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvGTVRfYkoK
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 943Please respect copyright.PENANAdcNjdFIgUK
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."943Please respect copyright.PENANA7GGd2enqbl
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANApLo6fbjPz5
"I would really love to,943Please respect copyright.PENANAwR6zpGnL7b
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass943Please respect copyright.PENANAKyC7EbmVhV
by at lunchtime to check on you."943Please respect copyright.PENANA5qG36ZCgyi
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.943Please respect copyright.PENANAsi7eu9lIu7
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.943Please respect copyright.PENANAvjnHy6iyLR
"Nothing," said Christine.943Please respect copyright.PENANAYd6jcv0fGK
I noticed Mike give 943Please respect copyright.PENANAGQrjkoh4o1
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut943Please respect copyright.PENANA9OClY1avfj
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 943Please respect copyright.PENANA06bDe5xt3z
going on.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdV1NSBZdqB
"It's just about the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAtc0FqaBJ6K
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 943Please respect copyright.PENANAXXyrHYyyo0
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 943Please respect copyright.PENANA4NkoZuHjD2
happened."943Please respect copyright.PENANADEb1YJbfD6
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."943Please respect copyright.PENANAzoIqTKDPBC
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."943Please respect copyright.PENANAaCIHBpns6j
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.943Please respect copyright.PENANAsEA6OG2KLh
When we arrived at YG, 943Please respect copyright.PENANAigFg56mQTb
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 943Please respect copyright.PENANAeaIQlbHbs8
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.943Please respect copyright.PENANALV1u4E9uWP
"I already informed the 943Please respect copyright.PENANADVnBbte0hW
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 943Please respect copyright.PENANAONMgkIF0RK
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"943Please respect copyright.PENANATntlgWKMs7
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."943Please respect copyright.PENANAgdyVvapIFH
"I know you will. See you later."943Please respect copyright.PENANA3djTrPJNFT
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.943Please respect copyright.PENANAhiWawg80Sp
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.943Please respect copyright.PENANARgG5b9XuZD
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.943Please respect copyright.PENANApv36wOEoOX
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.943Please respect copyright.PENANAaKwRFhIZz0
"Careful, Zoey," I said 943Please respect copyright.PENANAwBuW4KHF3e
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 943Please respect copyright.PENANAnnTnfb1X3c
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."943Please respect copyright.PENANAVQVODiJnyW
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.943Please respect copyright.PENANAn5JMvpzvqQ
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANA43M89FlUf1
"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.943Please respect copyright.PENANADVPA6div8j
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.943Please respect copyright.PENANAALvwMCVMyD
"No," I said as the 943Please respect copyright.PENANArHSIJH0Tpm
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvePkDfFDJm
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 943Please respect copyright.PENANA6aDt6MIve0
studios.943Please respect copyright.PENANAMuiAPiA82Q
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.943Please respect copyright.PENANAUFc1ptjjtn
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."943Please respect copyright.PENANA93Np7zeUxt
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."943Please respect copyright.PENANAcXAfs5625o
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.943Please respect copyright.PENANAfftg6ydxkV
"That's different."943Please respect copyright.PENANAISfdt12ifB
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."943Please respect copyright.PENANACATiHc95hF
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAkukd7z8Bwv
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."943Please respect copyright.PENANABlCkLHbbFh
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.943Please respect copyright.PENANASu735oipQi
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.943Please respect copyright.PENANATJThsOtTGR
It was so much fun 943Please respect copyright.PENANAn737s6wWZx
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 943Please respect copyright.PENANA4zvhZXeUGr
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 943Please respect copyright.PENANA41VpKsdhv8
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.943Please respect copyright.PENANAwxVQ6A9seJ
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.943Please respect copyright.PENANAvhJMQYxc30
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.943Please respect copyright.PENANA0pZDMuOMEP
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."943Please respect copyright.PENANAtPpMWgsCrb
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANA6o2fMojBMh
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAML0t2NXiWi
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.943Please respect copyright.PENANAFSSWnE2pRI
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.943Please respect copyright.PENANAOG8xm4aDAU
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."943Please respect copyright.PENANAWnpBfpjqjp
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."943Please respect copyright.PENANAiFtGHMj7ir
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."943Please respect copyright.PENANAwD0O5OEOW8
"Come on, Zoey," I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAgd3m9U3Y22
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 943Please respect copyright.PENANAHuL8XzWMXq
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."943Please respect copyright.PENANA5KPHqGF4HH
"What song?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAfpcuIOi4FE
I didn't answer when I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAbKrLrYOiZZ
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 943Please respect copyright.PENANAEZaDQZDZHh
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQBdIlJCLx5
pill soon started to play.943Please respect copyright.PENANAit1TqTcJoO
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.943Please respect copyright.PENANAmiSj98zo1o
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjL2UrUMOEX
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.943Please respect copyright.PENANAmY5lkROTym
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.943Please respect copyright.PENANAXW5tdjblBZ
It's been a while since I943Please respect copyright.PENANACu4xjMWS5c
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 943Please respect copyright.PENANAeoZsV5HViM
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 943Please respect copyright.PENANAwDxJvSb2cC
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.943Please respect copyright.PENANAimdhTM901V
At the end of it, the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAonU79nzmaF
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 943Please respect copyright.PENANAeqc3QLAeSm
our moves synchronising with one another.943Please respect copyright.PENANAwHZUmEMO8h
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.943Please respect copyright.PENANAPQyyUdfdpj
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."943Please respect copyright.PENANAMYGCARUJMO
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.943Please respect copyright.PENANARCvoEFBGBf
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.943Please respect copyright.PENANApOABQodBYg
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.943Please respect copyright.PENANADNs6M9K7vP
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."943Please respect copyright.PENANA76234q9YSS
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."943Please respect copyright.PENANAqPq5pRM5gH
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.943Please respect copyright.PENANAqwU3nYtfTJ
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.943Please respect copyright.PENANAmEdpqyExv7
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVydB6e5ymj
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.943Please respect copyright.PENANAiGhAd9iCMK
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAzRfkwfgg3k
Mino and Seunghoon both 943Please respect copyright.PENANAbJDb2LJGQG
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMzBaACqGa4
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdI9BQuxViF
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.943Please respect copyright.PENANA27kqw6Sc1y
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.943Please respect copyright.PENANAolKYvTILZN
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."943Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9fgsdUQSu
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.943Please respect copyright.PENANAJXZL36ZGsS
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAyzBaepV204
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 943Please respect copyright.PENANATfOPH6bU8i
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."943Please respect copyright.PENANAIv83PxtMdq
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.943Please respect copyright.PENANAOyoWGzlQam
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.943Please respect copyright.PENANANTKvqMLV76
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANA3lCDn3ALvp
I nudged my head to the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAgBklsCqxVM
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 943Please respect copyright.PENANAA83buDuKoW
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the943Please respect copyright.PENANAt1bwEx14Z9
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.943Please respect copyright.PENANARxpD1j7Xi1
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.943Please respect copyright.PENANAg9Hsqe5hyN
Seunghoon lips were 943Please respect copyright.PENANAPQckhcnJWD
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was943Please respect copyright.PENANAgXIJcq7bym
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose943Please respect copyright.PENANAFDhb8q1tYX
focus.943Please respect copyright.PENANAQxBj7sGEXo
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.943Please respect copyright.PENANAFbBL3g3sFI
"The others might, but I943Please respect copyright.PENANAPZk5ScsTpH
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going943Please respect copyright.PENANAvx3BLdZdlu
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 943Please respect copyright.PENANAwQiUs7F5rV
when TOP came to pick me up?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAigaBHvmynO
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."943Please respect copyright.PENANAiEjyyXywOv
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA5H5sa1Ez34
He again took a step closer. "Yes."943Please respect copyright.PENANAJUjGW4U9QH
Well, that made sense 943Please respect copyright.PENANAwN4FyoabUi
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 943Please respect copyright.PENANAgiNtW7zsdE
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 943Please respect copyright.PENANANIKHw2RClZ
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 943Please respect copyright.PENANAapqMMq5WPF
seen.943Please respect copyright.PENANAlScRwXUzYd
I hadn't realised it 943Please respect copyright.PENANAxJEUekc8hR
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking943Please respect copyright.PENANAFKJfOyTBGY
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 943Please respect copyright.PENANAmB6c7UNumE
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 943Please respect copyright.PENANAHepDSkPmM4
uncomfortable.943Please respect copyright.PENANA4ys8FbRt89
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.943Please respect copyright.PENANA4OzfZQf7Q5
"Well, yes," he 943Please respect copyright.PENANA1NY1169YF3
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 943Please respect copyright.PENANAz6RNXijQL3
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."943Please respect copyright.PENANAufPaf7EHEJ
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANApmmPsbQMCd
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.943Please respect copyright.PENANAvTARNWu8f8
I blushed and I was a 943Please respect copyright.PENANABf1ouPKRmP
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 943Please respect copyright.PENANAdJpjpaWfMs
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAiipc8j0JnP
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 943Please respect copyright.PENANAlj9sxmTexb
celebrities.943Please respect copyright.PENANAAYmhrdxGNK
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAeEHBVZCLaU
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.943Please respect copyright.PENANAkH4KfL9D1V
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."943Please respect copyright.PENANAoBoPm8GsN3
"No, they don't," I lied943Please respect copyright.PENANAMdkeMPzr5d
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 943Please respect copyright.PENANAYZif0QrhmW
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAy2Ukxv87lz
others had arrived.943Please respect copyright.PENANANeLbIrJljr
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.943Please respect copyright.PENANAeSC2iRtuFO
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.943Please respect copyright.PENANASXGfj4zysh
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.943Please respect copyright.PENANA4DgGUSu4K6
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAo3ZIcjHBJA
"Awesome," I replied.943Please respect copyright.PENANABDhnleAXO8
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.943Please respect copyright.PENANAYKaiI2xX85
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.943Please respect copyright.PENANArD29oPshAp
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.943Please respect copyright.PENANAzFKOnCayqP
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.943Please respect copyright.PENANAsrZVLZIse8
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.943Please respect copyright.PENANAEmTXZHT4ur
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.943Please respect copyright.PENANAKFfeUvl48Z
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."943Please respect copyright.PENANAbgb94rWNpn
"And besides, you and I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAJRfyVpAswy
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 943Please respect copyright.PENANAmA5cH44WsN
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 943Please respect copyright.PENANAqfnpe27lWq
and Seunghoon showed up."943Please respect copyright.PENANAMWX8wS7tkH
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.943Please respect copyright.PENANAJhcufDd4kA
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.943Please respect copyright.PENANA9f72FbJd75
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."943Please respect copyright.PENANA6CjHYIs8xt
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.943Please respect copyright.PENANAXfYnGGFd4B
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVK8bFO9CFY
Apparently, he wasn't 943Please respect copyright.PENANAl5OT4BP7t8
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all943Please respect copyright.PENANA8JTu3RQYuo
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that943Please respect copyright.PENANACEqfzNf4f0
just made him look even more adorable.943Please respect copyright.PENANAOViOwibNSA
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.943Please respect copyright.PENANArl784dbCj6
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."943Please respect copyright.PENANAgSQn98Rnds
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.943Please respect copyright.PENANAtbu4n9HmAN
"Yes!" I heard the four 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQBKMeaMhws
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 943Please respect copyright.PENANAiv8NQ0uhsL
at the track list. Then, something came to me.943Please respect copyright.PENANApEEfZ6WcKQ
"Change of plans, Zoey,"943Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZnAT3QrI8
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want943Please respect copyright.PENANAgk1Ic8NjWt
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."943Please respect copyright.PENANAnVFHsaZ0HX
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."943Please respect copyright.PENANA6zixTMqWf2
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANAvmir1wD79A
"This just got interesting," said Mino.943Please respect copyright.PENANAEVkJOBvQzE
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAb7KKKq9jDU
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."943Please respect copyright.PENANALyoDrOLC4A
"Taeyang is going to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAoJdGRDHBKu
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAM4O6Ba8hO6
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."943Please respect copyright.PENANAtorL8Do8BG
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."943Please respect copyright.PENANAmJNRvGb7W8
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAQMKZAz4sDD
I tapped the track on my943Please respect copyright.PENANAK77sKTH5L4
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 943Please respect copyright.PENANAqe1JeiU94m
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.943Please respect copyright.PENANAYyD9z0r0VU
When the song started, I943Please respect copyright.PENANANiZkCTjXd6
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQHqBwV11yb
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 943Please respect copyright.PENANA581weQYpzv
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAL6MYr57MPb
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to943Please respect copyright.PENANAgUZ12ASxa2
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 943Please respect copyright.PENANARuCGkEMPhc
doing a pretty good with the moves too.943Please respect copyright.PENANAuvKN0HEsxx
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.943Please respect copyright.PENANA161kE1u0l8
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.943Please respect copyright.PENANAmMnw4NuZJQ
"Whenever it came to the943Please respect copyright.PENANAdOgtsUVaeI
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 943Please respect copyright.PENANAhlCGMbaj8O
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."943Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ6TckLpj7
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."943Please respect copyright.PENANAx4ngUk9c9U
"Thanks, guys," I said.943Please respect copyright.PENANA1WWrFJlocM
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjWb0cM2BAo
"Now, coming to my 943Please respect copyright.PENANAn7BMjdtNWt
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 943Please respect copyright.PENANAIKF0qKlof4
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvVT7XFqADy
think is a better dancer?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAQKkJCt75VV
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANAWwIU1k3dts
"Why?" Zoey asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAhNkeTmXy9Y
"I think you and I both 943Please respect copyright.PENANAEfgs0YKAf7
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 943Please respect copyright.PENANAWUR178vreL
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 943Please respect copyright.PENANA6IdKI7BT5E
That counts for something, right?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAdt3lzyJ9Ov
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."943Please respect copyright.PENANAdWjQpS3UGL
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."943Please respect copyright.PENANAtiVAogNZzm
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.943Please respect copyright.PENANA6iUj8Dt28d
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAKLe38k1AWp
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANA50s2l93cSZ
"Well, ya." Mike 943Please respect copyright.PENANAkqTJQvU1hf
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 943Please respect copyright.PENANA0l9Ybi2uhC
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 943Please respect copyright.PENANALCKg4aSx1d
sentence as he looked at Zoey.943Please respect copyright.PENANA1BpVa8wj8T
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."943Please respect copyright.PENANAvs7CAzQ3NH
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.943Please respect copyright.PENANASYliTsNICJ
"I also think it will be943Please respect copyright.PENANAW1kKuP6nwz
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 943Please respect copyright.PENANADMhR8rWYhO
obviously bring out a better opinion."943Please respect copyright.PENANA3szvc9Thmj
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAn0ENKeQU7d
"Count me out of it," I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6OTRuTSaR
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAydxJLuxkfr
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."943Please respect copyright.PENANA1uMwBqwtHC
"Fine, I'll create a 943Please respect copyright.PENANA7MbSDZsfBi
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how943Please respect copyright.PENANAhg8BrfVgM1
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though943Please respect copyright.PENANATD2GNPTpxU
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."943Please respect copyright.PENANArZjoIkRPtN
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."943Please respect copyright.PENANA0QIwrD6NVT
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."943Please respect copyright.PENANAuV0SXe9ck6
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.943Please respect copyright.PENANAuGLSeTZSX2
Zoey and Mike soon got 943Please respect copyright.PENANApq29MP18NV
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 943Please respect copyright.PENANA7HpEgyid8w
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 943Please respect copyright.PENANAiI4KhRGjOM
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance943Please respect copyright.PENANAvCVo1uZqV1
battle.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdYWtUv0PRm
I got my phone and the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAJb2dWPm95O
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAcXCXgB7Swv
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAszCBIZt9Mp
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.943Please respect copyright.PENANAID4riKOTv6
I turned to look at him 943Please respect copyright.PENANA5NLGOgQ6c8
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 943Please respect copyright.PENANA0L7t5xTGWC
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 943Please respect copyright.PENANAShIBP0KZ8u
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 943Please respect copyright.PENANAY3SX63DXBr
smile if they were to look at him.943Please respect copyright.PENANAxQAkzi4rYT
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANAb74Fwfsbez
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.943Please respect copyright.PENANAJ74TsCL3RD
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."943Please respect copyright.PENANAXrE74T8Ske
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."943Please respect copyright.PENANAmEafH19BZm
"You're right about that."943Please respect copyright.PENANA2SoyM2LhNe
I looked behind me with a943Please respect copyright.PENANAZnIcqxnAlR
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 943Please respect copyright.PENANAUD8omPDIhW
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 943Please respect copyright.PENANA5f1k19Si2M
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 943Please respect copyright.PENANARgUWBKcYVd
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.943Please respect copyright.PENANAZGPKRHspyq
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAUam3NVyc6U
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANATdnDrU5QQA
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAoTxN3EHnDS
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANAzg5yAqALtW
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."943Please respect copyright.PENANAPSMCQWrvnp
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."943Please respect copyright.PENANA5HiEqdEYux
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.943Please respect copyright.PENANAq3QGyhqGOO
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.943Please respect copyright.PENANAOLV1dpzdaL
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAveYoSB1dgk
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."943Please respect copyright.PENANAAoY7VR6Y7g
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pzgb8N2Kf
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."943Please respect copyright.PENANA81gourOPWf
"I sure hope so," I 943Please respect copyright.PENANALG1wlm5n1G
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAGePEjcZyQA
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."943Please respect copyright.PENANARm700hvArj
"What about those two?" 943Please respect copyright.PENANAV5dBsuLAiL
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 943Please respect copyright.PENANAW22uz5HYoD
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 943Please respect copyright.PENANAGfCliWCrLs
soon.943Please respect copyright.PENANA3VfauV1CKY
"They will notice when 943Please respect copyright.PENANAc15aETbcZ2
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 943Please respect copyright.PENANAAfwsjc7bYm
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA7eLndUZDQ9
"Sure," he said with a smile.943Please respect copyright.PENANAbG7XuQK9T2
Christine, Daniel and I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMT0e8RJgKw
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 943Please respect copyright.PENANAtPdKQNnQkL
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.943Please respect copyright.PENANANb48XZFIKz
Twenty minutes later, I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQYMIHdYtC3
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQl1LBo77M8
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 943Please respect copyright.PENANAGG6ussvQ7f
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 943Please respect copyright.PENANA4NxFwAidMM
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 943Please respect copyright.PENANAVydXj6Hl1X
in the shower room, still patching herself up.943Please respect copyright.PENANA1AWj6yDMya
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.943Please respect copyright.PENANAFDcU5yyrpT
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."943Please respect copyright.PENANAjbsDyjn7aP
"Why? Anything special?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAbjEADGlsiw
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.943Please respect copyright.PENANAvua7R5wNF2
"Oh, nothing," I stared 943Please respect copyright.PENANAr6OBkhliar
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAnLxW4tUu79
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMr2qPBUiwq
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."943Please respect copyright.PENANAy4sXPSlxNC
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.943Please respect copyright.PENANA85AaAWvzHt
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.943Please respect copyright.PENANApv3XUuznSZ
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVEiD08ZvZT
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.943Please respect copyright.PENANAHvgLcVMXj2
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."943Please respect copyright.PENANADfmgiLGjtQ
"What are you talking about?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA48DxNGiHdc
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAl8a1kQxHwg
Christine's mouth fell 943Please respect copyright.PENANAsExgVIhDlB
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 943Please respect copyright.PENANAWcphXxGdQw
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.943Please respect copyright.PENANAP2n2cYvVK1
"No, I don't," she said.943Please respect copyright.PENANAWyFMggKaR9
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAJDsaTvGc8X
do like him but only as a fan girl."943Please respect copyright.PENANAH379o4uXax
"Please, I saw the way 943Please respect copyright.PENANAlb5VDkRU40
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that943Please respect copyright.PENANAG5c6xpGfyd
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."943Please respect copyright.PENANAbCONpKoUAx
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 943Please respect copyright.PENANAL8mJEkcguS
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of943Please respect copyright.PENANAIWKoNZfDWK
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 943Please respect copyright.PENANAGsVS0pacCn
more."943Please respect copyright.PENANAWR5Jd0JqwW
"Ya, right," I said as I943Please respect copyright.PENANAHzvTlvHNpW
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 943Please respect copyright.PENANAYmOc092ANL
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 943Please respect copyright.PENANAVY5iepOpDT
weird look on your face."943Please respect copyright.PENANAKg5OJ6IGRF
"What weird look?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAWzwQeckhd7
"The jealous one."943Please respect copyright.PENANAp5v1JQRMJD
"Spare me the drama, Sam."943Please respect copyright.PENANAGalZnsmcpD
"If Zoey was the one 943Please respect copyright.PENANA7brbWtcg4f
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAxogEoxTv61
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 943Please respect copyright.PENANAA9bnEcTw7u
Jinwoo."943Please respect copyright.PENANASqGN8tEN9U
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.943Please respect copyright.PENANAyNP28Em5JM
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA6zog2EM2Hk
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."943Please respect copyright.PENANAr5L5t5UCjO
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.943Please respect copyright.PENANAXQktqUUMPa
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.943Please respect copyright.PENANALaWwKCBCRg
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.943Please respect copyright.PENANAccoq1rlSMC
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.943Please respect copyright.PENANABhvM2E5Xuw
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.943Please respect copyright.PENANAmmgS5UKfnN
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA23LqBbIbFW
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.943Please respect copyright.PENANA8zfwobAoLj
Mike gave Christine a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAZFYv9pEwj7
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 943Please respect copyright.PENANAxv3yDXMN1c
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't943Please respect copyright.PENANAyt4AKabwLf
wrong about that.943Please respect copyright.PENANAQeyTWZdwcI
We decided to go back to943Please respect copyright.PENANAMiQc30OYW8
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 943Please respect copyright.PENANAOsrMsxl0bI
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,943Please respect copyright.PENANAwkKx3K72uS
this happened:943Please respect copyright.PENANAVdtgTqHeKK
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.943Please respect copyright.PENANAilrfhSZ3IE
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.943Please respect copyright.PENANAD9OFJk8Jbu
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.943Please respect copyright.PENANAMtdtkN8SnY
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."943Please respect copyright.PENANA2rbKmONOHk
I wanted to frown at him943Please respect copyright.PENANAb479Kowm8b
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 943Please respect copyright.PENANAb11UiNWA3K
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.943Please respect copyright.PENANAwrKoInVPFh
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.943Please respect copyright.PENANADQ23fnuCnm
I looked at Jinwoo and I943Please respect copyright.PENANAweri3aJlLz
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 943Please respect copyright.PENANATHzhDFKBU3
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 943Please respect copyright.PENANAp0AzgYNFGg
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.943Please respect copyright.PENANA5Cu9jY9gRI
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.943Please respect copyright.PENANAz6bhFTZGNf
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAUm9m2mZHOb
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.943Please respect copyright.PENANABiDKf8WZzU
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."943Please respect copyright.PENANA2McpOVbfmC
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANA7IDTt8RHI5
"Good idea. Let's go."943Please respect copyright.PENANAoJGkcQR4Mc
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANASVr8btEA2x
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.943Please respect copyright.PENANA2KnRw8bB4t
Before he could say 943Please respect copyright.PENANAUetqFKMgQi
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I943Please respect copyright.PENANAd9S9DO8PcH
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped943Please respect copyright.PENANAijxJzhne5O
out of the room, he was snickering.943Please respect copyright.PENANApmmmKemIRe
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.943Please respect copyright.PENANABhQinCCSsT
"Just because I'm his 943Please respect copyright.PENANASzFOxaaGrq
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being943Please respect copyright.PENANAl8UKbWcSJF
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAhdhZYXmQDk
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."943Please respect copyright.PENANADwAFJEaOwg
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"943Please respect copyright.PENANANKrUfpMGtY
"Actually, it was only 943Please respect copyright.PENANAWloQkA1Bpa
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 943Please respect copyright.PENANAAeodVFdkBT
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."943Please respect copyright.PENANA4hYxH9Zpi0
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.943Please respect copyright.PENANAmb38uq0CVm
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.943Please respect copyright.PENANAMz0VPPtiGT
When we got to the 943Please respect copyright.PENANASRWQru7nQ4
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 943Please respect copyright.PENANAEO0rYFTqr8
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 943Please respect copyright.PENANAhSQZXfqwJU
inside the elevator.943Please respect copyright.PENANAEKZhOMDJp9
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.943Please respect copyright.PENANAi90q8M2C06
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."943Please respect copyright.PENANAL6rrfmaos3
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.943Please respect copyright.PENANAAx74oGox7r
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.943Please respect copyright.PENANArw7Q0xptwq
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."943Please respect copyright.PENANANImtg0cBlB
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAzyfXoZBCuD
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdIVGSQw5XB
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."943Please respect copyright.PENANAeI6W02mULB
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."943Please respect copyright.PENANA2xfEck4pQb
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."943Please respect copyright.PENANAIEUGmJ3auH
"Well, if you're 943Please respect copyright.PENANAVk1Zn4zgie
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 943Please respect copyright.PENANAUO7WHQVLSx
his face and I could tell something was up.943Please respect copyright.PENANAm7nwR4yQGq
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"943Please respect copyright.PENANATO9PyRUbrB
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."943Please respect copyright.PENANAbDpHGColot
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAZAWKs6hock
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."943Please respect copyright.PENANA1q8HhYOw8D
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.943Please respect copyright.PENANAn3MJxoQvGd
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."943Please respect copyright.PENANANmInq0nM8r
"I came to see you guys 943Please respect copyright.PENANAibebBip5Iw
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAJF0g4Ejplq
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."943Please respect copyright.PENANAgHnA6XRzcI
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."943Please respect copyright.PENANAcQZhGMdWdt
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."943Please respect copyright.PENANAsv1ulbnNGP
"Okay, then you go and 943Please respect copyright.PENANA1jhe8CbRhk
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino943Please respect copyright.PENANAQU2YJ1tNNx
to get Zoey as fast as we could."943Please respect copyright.PENANAwka1zua5Qj
"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.943Please respect copyright.PENANA4ezMWt4oSQ
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.943Please respect copyright.PENANAfZK3LpQQa9
We headed downstairs to 943Please respect copyright.PENANABoVHc8jwiR
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 943Please respect copyright.PENANA9t0tesZfFD
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.943Please respect copyright.PENANACDAr1fA7yb
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAnuC3YxD0Al
"Trying to look good," 943Please respect copyright.PENANAL3yD5A3i90
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAlvC9R3s6kv
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAzA6udAE4Di
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."943Please respect copyright.PENANATkma8geESH
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.943Please respect copyright.PENANABJHF9Rql4n
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.943Please respect copyright.PENANAh1dWhJzzqG
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."943Please respect copyright.PENANAe6QlgJfcsZ
"You're kidding, right?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAvaG4ohleuN
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."943Please respect copyright.PENANA7x3xPzmIC2
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA5vun8QYrm2
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANA3ROLoDPFHU
Just as I turned around 943Please respect copyright.PENANAuI9EV0TzRw
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 943Please respect copyright.PENANA89ZkRUZmca
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 943Please respect copyright.PENANABC8L8zj6u8
the the floor we were on.943Please respect copyright.PENANAs8UCIxDR8h
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.943Please respect copyright.PENANAHqHq68FXmc
Just as we turned round a943Please respect copyright.PENANA6X9m1G7cQv
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 943Please respect copyright.PENANA7l5xNQkKTo
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAzRhtf2UXjK
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 943Please respect copyright.PENANAknbJkLNBbx
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.943Please respect copyright.PENANAUhSjX2LMot
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAaR8cDcg50G
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.943Please respect copyright.PENANAGM0azeXRKk
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAQq2JG6hKVJ
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."943Please respect copyright.PENANAesAJcTIOY1
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"943Please respect copyright.PENANABo0YDfvelY
I didn't say anything as943Please respect copyright.PENANAjV2xsoYti1
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAn7YhUAwvRe
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 943Please respect copyright.PENANAU93XcPbo2N
Hyun-suk's voice.943Please respect copyright.PENANABpqb3iKfdR
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.943Please respect copyright.PENANAnqUIlFoZ9H
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.943Please respect copyright.PENANA7dL5rATlUE
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.943Please respect copyright.PENANAA7dUJ2AqJ9
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.943Please respect copyright.PENANAcl4uKUY3OU
I checked around with my943Please respect copyright.PENANAxiIcEbIpbs
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAofvUnycUh4
the light went on in the tiny room.943Please respect copyright.PENANAUfIC3uJvd2
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAElGFEvTrcD
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.943Please respect copyright.PENANAzzZV3k6SoO
I shook my head. "They are still there."943Please respect copyright.PENANAubyqKuYrnW
Mino and Zoey both 943Please respect copyright.PENANATdHhXLgvQ8
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 943Please respect copyright.PENANA1WzMqbIwMt
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAWkY0nHlkHa
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 943Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ0T4NDZPN
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 943Please respect copyright.PENANAfYAt5IRU4p
behind me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAtlNeChwiWz
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.943Please respect copyright.PENANANh1pLbyhOx
"I think they are gone," I whispered.943Please respect copyright.PENANAHhYglQXAXY
"Try and check," Mino whispered.943Please respect copyright.PENANAGa2XaZNDcE
I took hold of the door 943Please respect copyright.PENANAbNtmAVrTXM
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 943Please respect copyright.PENANAGK9BbljYMt
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of943Please respect copyright.PENANAjcybLmsvSe
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.943Please respect copyright.PENANAgKgYPihDb1
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.943Please respect copyright.PENANAyXKsGRivWk
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.943Please respect copyright.PENANAKIHvjTVCL4
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.943Please respect copyright.PENANAU01xBny80C
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.943Please respect copyright.PENANAxEhF5bdLFj
The three of us were 943Please respect copyright.PENANAF5LmL8zL3N
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 943Please respect copyright.PENANAWdmftJXNoY
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was943Please respect copyright.PENANAbfYvs8ZOTE
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 943Please respect copyright.PENANAOEn8TIxLX2
heard the phone ring.943Please respect copyright.PENANAAfu1jKVKzK
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.943Please respect copyright.PENANA4qR5THM1SP
I quickly took the bag 943Please respect copyright.PENANAnqbTbG9N7T
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 943Please respect copyright.PENANAkKAaTMP9d8
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 943Please respect copyright.PENANAqoEEeVff4c
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 943Please respect copyright.PENANA37qmxvV1pw
anything strange."943Please respect copyright.PENANAsmUNsyvv7M
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAq8OfP9GdqI
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."943Please respect copyright.PENANAL6RXtB7WAF
Mino and Zoey quickly 943Please respect copyright.PENANAAeFketOehr
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 943Please respect copyright.PENANAn5W3sCFaOY
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAkKxTGWM5yh
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 943Please respect copyright.PENANALxyAkbgRzr
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 943Please respect copyright.PENANAzVQJYp0nuY
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.943Please respect copyright.PENANAcZM3JuJTbS
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."943Please respect copyright.PENANAbg1RzVwKHM
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjk6lUWxAj7
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."943Please respect copyright.PENANAwbNd9N6fzG
I gave them a little 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQmWDd8tlBd
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 943Please respect copyright.PENANAYjurjrcSxw
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 943Please respect copyright.PENANABpFOotxM8T
the place.943Please respect copyright.PENANAm6bpHP3dAT
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA32IwrYr6Lb
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.943Please respect copyright.PENANAb6rSD1rUlE
"I must say, I watched 943Please respect copyright.PENANAV2EQzxqgzC
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 943Please respect copyright.PENANAkMjZnyYEJs
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 943Please respect copyright.PENANAAjjU2Pmzw6
black suit.943Please respect copyright.PENANAFtKzLkSWAd
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.943Please respect copyright.PENANAoUCRNMTxhP
"You really do have good manners," said other man.943Please respect copyright.PENANAuLWTPce53F
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.943Please respect copyright.PENANAgY46pk7BjI
"I always do my best," I said politely.943Please respect copyright.PENANALuqgeDX8wG
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.943Please respect copyright.PENANA9P0zYFh9xi
I felt my eyes were 943Please respect copyright.PENANAMCuwAVzDVV
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 943Please respect copyright.PENANAWOOPnYqejr
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 943Please respect copyright.PENANAM18BBbKc9D
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 943Please respect copyright.PENANAiKhmFuO5OU
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.943Please respect copyright.PENANAkqUHojXLX1
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"943Please respect copyright.PENANAmmosoGUdz5
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me943Please respect copyright.PENANAtxoMl3URH1
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAAabkgvERMn
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAVrUQN2gs0G
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.943Please respect copyright.PENANAtUeKXAdRKE
"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."943Please respect copyright.PENANAGG5mKCFuYG
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.943Please respect copyright.PENANAt5fi2LiX87
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.943Please respect copyright.PENANAte2JGI5Yka
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."943Please respect copyright.PENANAyFsv1P6QGo
I smiled as I bowed my 943Please respect copyright.PENANAfSsXA1gRv1
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAkFxDa80XWZ
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 943Please respect copyright.PENANAU9QYNrQRmt
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I943Please respect copyright.PENANAX9vSFw66i1
was until now.943Please respect copyright.PENANA3uXLp9ZZ9j
I quickly ran to the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAbCIAVZeNfx
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 943Please respect copyright.PENANASuIzdEJD6S
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 943Please respect copyright.PENANAspzDIzouqJ
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 943Please respect copyright.PENANAeDzHMRCpoo
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 943Please respect copyright.PENANANdcInx2IEU
see.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjIi2zvREZc
"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.943Please respect copyright.PENANAtxiBGBXR5X
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."943Please respect copyright.PENANAjMoLPUrZrZ
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.943Please respect copyright.PENANAtSdzw9EuvB
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.943Please respect copyright.PENANA7nt2RmRqji
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.943Please respect copyright.PENANAFkq3uskLwG
"Because I missed you."943Please respect copyright.PENANAZ92cPjL1Mb
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVP6jbqXD1M
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjOSVWujP2u
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.943Please respect copyright.PENANAlamdKpemPt
When we reached the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAUGZe55ehhC
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 943Please respect copyright.PENANA1KH6ANzyvB
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 943Please respect copyright.PENANA01Rl2DKCey
lobby.943Please respect copyright.PENANAC7Q8ZIzwJl
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.943Please respect copyright.PENANAIbH23KInuG
"I think I've an idea," I943Please respect copyright.PENANAcFQpPyulL8
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going943Please respect copyright.PENANAYL0gWjNO0K
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAWcwSA94lTr
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."943Please respect copyright.PENANA0NVrLdcYI5
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.943Please respect copyright.PENANAI1hPP1JfPn
I rolled my eyes. I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAdBvbyt9yh8
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself943Please respect copyright.PENANAWB0veru6WY
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAIT1aUbJ7dy
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.943Please respect copyright.PENANAduiVBQPzaq
"Because I'm smart 943Please respect copyright.PENANATYQeX9flAr
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such943Please respect copyright.PENANACGXy8dEL9Y
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAbHyzfAGZhV
Mino and TOP smiled at 943Please respect copyright.PENANAWHwMCtadyw
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 943Please respect copyright.PENANAZ85DlrEke7
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 943Please respect copyright.PENANAsd0UKRbzwN
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.943Please respect copyright.PENANALdX5x4rigU
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."943Please respect copyright.PENANADO3akPjPb9
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAsU6DzCNFhT
"If we don't take the 943Please respect copyright.PENANAzq0A3dQiNR
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 943Please respect copyright.PENANAbH0CNsWL46
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."943Please respect copyright.PENANAGg2pudCfS9
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.943Please respect copyright.PENANAb7kDlxjIGm
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.943Please respect copyright.PENANA2iu2FHykKX
"You guys go right now 943Please respect copyright.PENANArMSECGzZjl
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 943Please respect copyright.PENANA8uP71OMt5D
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."943Please respect copyright.PENANAPSQKMKqLki
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.943Please respect copyright.PENANAFJLAGIDN96
"Because I need you around."943Please respect copyright.PENANAFmTlnXocH9
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.943Please respect copyright.PENANA8DFVUCsbkH
Seungyoon and his group 943Please respect copyright.PENANAvI3cLGG0B5
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAEFm4EFngSR
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 943Please respect copyright.PENANAJyYs99qFV2
for ten minutes.943Please respect copyright.PENANAzp4crASIWR
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAlmlVOBJSlJ
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.943Please respect copyright.PENANABNxc5Rzt4W
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.943Please respect copyright.PENANA1AtejqdDlO
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.943Please respect copyright.PENANAw0T2RmrNPK
"So if you guys are 943Please respect copyright.PENANA9kekg8kqep
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 943Please respect copyright.PENANA57jafFV1sY
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANA6IFadIMEQ9
"Why do you ask?" I asked.943Please respect copyright.PENANAozdbmJGjdf
"You guys can't just 943Please respect copyright.PENANAV8PAR5WnON
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 943Please respect copyright.PENANAhHZQMwHVye
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 943Please respect copyright.PENANAZduNbGp44M
managers will find out what's going on."943Please respect copyright.PENANAOpjkIynvW7
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.943Please respect copyright.PENANALzGIoLy9Ps
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.943Please respect copyright.PENANANeTjVw6yG8
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdbf5HfmwLb
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."943Please respect copyright.PENANA4BrbJUSZ04
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."943Please respect copyright.PENANAt2y2ZlIzGq
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.943Please respect copyright.PENANAoHbVGR3Izr
The others quickly 943Please respect copyright.PENANAUoHfT5TMmV
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 943Please respect copyright.PENANA3FzYF9pkBJ
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAt4fuknh6wg
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 943Please respect copyright.PENANA5D5nB3tBS4
worried that they might have hit their heads.943Please respect copyright.PENANAWkEuVY1Hp5
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.943Please respect copyright.PENANArPYzKscmqo
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."943Please respect copyright.PENANAI9FEfjCgxj
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.943Please respect copyright.PENANAKGHvdalO3C
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.943Please respect copyright.PENANA8JEMPAgR3U
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.943Please respect copyright.PENANAhjnMpkAzle
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"943Please respect copyright.PENANASLFfJT0sl1
As soon as I turned 943Please respect copyright.PENANAOuMWZHD5Yq
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the943Please respect copyright.PENANACNOPkgELmX
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQMZdPwxFes
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 943Please respect copyright.PENANAPj1dSDAJXo
behind me paused ready for the worst.943Please respect copyright.PENANAkMALZqZQJQ
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.943Please respect copyright.PENANAkW0Fbu13YD
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."943Please respect copyright.PENANAevTZ3k79W2
"Well, this day just got943Please respect copyright.PENANAfyFRRLbO6B
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about943Please respect copyright.PENANAw2FGT0VrQm
it. I couldn't blame him for that.943Please respect copyright.PENANAvlGKf25T3L
Coming out of the 943Please respect copyright.PENANA6UgregTKlW
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAQkl0EkGl9h
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 943Please respect copyright.PENANAUfFuJWpvQh
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.943Please respect copyright.PENANAgwKKSMKnnf
I felt like I had stood 943Please respect copyright.PENANArsneUyOeNu
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged943Please respect copyright.PENANA19Z61icH3q
me on the shoulder to get my attention.943Please respect copyright.PENANAzw7877oDSL
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.943Please respect copyright.PENANA75Ek2PUJqb
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.943Please respect copyright.PENANABAVny1OhrO
