Meeting WINNER the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAOoE1OQFcmP
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 742Please respect copyright.PENANAv5oRTCoK5i
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 742Please respect copyright.PENANA6wkMbx5xLX
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 742Please respect copyright.PENANAe8DPqpc5mt
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 742Please respect copyright.PENANADukFOGRObx
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.742Please respect copyright.PENANAoMqwRMWigM
With the little time we 742Please respect copyright.PENANAZhKzJjElmG
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again742Please respect copyright.PENANAqGczlGHsN7
as we all got to know each other.742Please respect copyright.PENANAcjSexdHbLY
Seungyoon, the leader 742Please respect copyright.PENANAa9oJwn7pZi
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 742Please respect copyright.PENANAUNSKfxRRNj
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a742Please respect copyright.PENANAY2fZK54eOJ
fun and nice person to be around with.742Please respect copyright.PENANAw9AM2kXqXz
Then there is Mino, who 742Please respect copyright.PENANAgQzPS8BhTZ
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for742Please respect copyright.PENANA8yPReISvd2
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 742Please respect copyright.PENANAdZaRobgIMY
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.742Please respect copyright.PENANAV6yOukJkpp
As for Jinwoo and 742Please respect copyright.PENANAfaIvCSyWgG
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.742Please respect copyright.PENANAzZrMXQMV6V
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXodC6yBxrL
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 742Please respect copyright.PENANAFnAUcetHye
in Korea.742Please respect copyright.PENANAm3lyn3pPO3
As for Seunghoon, I 742Please respect copyright.PENANA11zzm4YVVE
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking742Please respect copyright.PENANAmrwsR0Prxb
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 742Please respect copyright.PENANAR22mjBKLfC
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.742Please respect copyright.PENANA0JtdUuYu7U
Before they left, we 742Please respect copyright.PENANAt35CM0O3j0
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 742Please respect copyright.PENANAV8nM8DxH4k
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 742Please respect copyright.PENANAeFqCU3K8f8
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 742Please respect copyright.PENANA5FhSqCckdd
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done742Please respect copyright.PENANAtgJi2jeXmI
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 742Please respect copyright.PENANAqgzkIW69Nd
place?742Please respect copyright.PENANAKjngcOYjW2
I already had that part 742Please respect copyright.PENANAyJPS6wPQPb
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 742Please respect copyright.PENANAh9DdvzyX6E
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 742Please respect copyright.PENANASlwseDEI6N
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 742Please respect copyright.PENANANfJY6tDZDR
wouldn't have to break a sweat.742Please respect copyright.PENANAd2xxXhrUec
Right now, this very 742Please respect copyright.PENANAUOa5yFE4MF
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 742Please respect copyright.PENANAhsMvkkEilu
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 742Please respect copyright.PENANAYtIEW6IkyX
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee742Please respect copyright.PENANA8Juip68V2B
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 742Please respect copyright.PENANA617ZPGeKoC
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 742Please respect copyright.PENANAslAuHRVKQ4
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.742Please respect copyright.PENANALKm5rVOi4S
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.742Please respect copyright.PENANApsDjjCKqwe
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAP9fMJa7rby
"I'm tired of sleeping,"742Please respect copyright.PENANANWpKOfSmFr
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 742Please respect copyright.PENANAidwPKDTyP1
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 742Please respect copyright.PENANAC1FE1yU9cB
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.742Please respect copyright.PENANAOVimPqqsn4
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.742Please respect copyright.PENANAFux7h1vE5u
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANATvvLdFKkJ2
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAE8MX4dWfhE
"You know, going for 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXBsQ2mJMgr
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 742Please respect copyright.PENANADjFjVhy9h4
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 742Please respect copyright.PENANAbsEby71sW3
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 742Please respect copyright.PENANAzuJn3TDXb7
we try to do what we're familiar with."742Please respect copyright.PENANAxKuUvp1REo
"Mmmm, I guess you're 742Please respect copyright.PENANAwIl3fQOKhq
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 742Please respect copyright.PENANAp8BNRRGHSN
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 742Please respect copyright.PENANAuZmQX7P3MG
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."742Please respect copyright.PENANAzRgxkwwiTQ
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.742Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ5wRQeZ1U
"Yep," Collins nodded 742Please respect copyright.PENANAaP0Ch7FUdJ
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 742Please respect copyright.PENANAMSnsCbBB1e
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 742Please respect copyright.PENANA5rZ3TteaTI
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 742Please respect copyright.PENANA82HerjCbco
good now, will it?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA4tS4O7MOHN
Wow. This was literally 742Please respect copyright.PENANAeVPLIDHktJ
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 742Please respect copyright.PENANArTwq8wDDvB
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.742Please respect copyright.PENANAWL6lnmMqoX
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.742Please respect copyright.PENANAsT6WLEM0Hw
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.742Please respect copyright.PENANAdaDCJWsr3s
I left the lounge at a 742Please respect copyright.PENANALEIzEQPSaH
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 742Please respect copyright.PENANABaIwRQwwjp
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door742Please respect copyright.PENANAjFId9SRvpe
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.742Please respect copyright.PENANAdOG32FoxAR
Zoey sat up with a start742Please respect copyright.PENANAqtFpPyGbn1
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 742Please respect copyright.PENANAJZlIT9BFE7
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEl0Jt3fpBL
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAfh946eT7gK
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.742Please respect copyright.PENANAYxpAw06doj
At first she didn't say a742Please respect copyright.PENANABNFU3rZUlv
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 742Please respect copyright.PENANATasN8jmhJh
looking at me with her eyes wide open.742Please respect copyright.PENANAwlTS3qr5hO
"What did you say?" she asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANArXDPwfKeG4
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.742Please respect copyright.PENANAefwcxv4oLG
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAXUzi0f2LGP
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."742Please respect copyright.PENANAbsOFzQGsPE
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"742Please respect copyright.PENANArl2DDJpXnG
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."742Please respect copyright.PENANAmGn1qzdnva
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."742Please respect copyright.PENANAnBDJeMsbVx
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.742Please respect copyright.PENANAWS3Vf1zmdX
I went to wake up 742Please respect copyright.PENANAk8dhle2IzR
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I742Please respect copyright.PENANASlps2Qp0vL
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.742Please respect copyright.PENANAUc2L0NzGez
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAtDdhwgrApa
"I gave a reasonable 742Please respect copyright.PENANA3pqmLEoqoB
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 742Please respect copyright.PENANA952UnqE2em
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAZwGZ6en7zA
I noticed Christine 742Please respect copyright.PENANAoV1yK35PJR
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly742Please respect copyright.PENANA4HYKEvvlhm
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 742Please respect copyright.PENANAhfe6zEo7fq
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 742Please respect copyright.PENANARVNhNnh9Ff
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.742Please respect copyright.PENANAeSNrv3euLi
When we all had our bags742Please respect copyright.PENANAKPq2I3InZl
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 742Please respect copyright.PENANAEf8N2QvlGY
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 742Please respect copyright.PENANASZkEEOVXOr
looked at us.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1QBJDzLcZl
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.742Please respect copyright.PENANAw6MXZaGUvs
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."742Please respect copyright.PENANAXDGl3kcy7V
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.742Please respect copyright.PENANAiL3KMNjZ1X
"I hate when you use my 742Please respect copyright.PENANA4giGzfPV8v
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 742Please respect copyright.PENANAODAOHUB8in
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."742Please respect copyright.PENANADx8GrtVQNw
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."742Please respect copyright.PENANAo9jVNcLKiK
Collins rolled his eyes 742Please respect copyright.PENANAq9wfyteqWj
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 742Please respect copyright.PENANAQS19DL2BRh
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."742Please respect copyright.PENANAMCh5JNZynd
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAFAMKmI39e6
"I would really love to,742Please respect copyright.PENANAPVeWDIDU49
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass742Please respect copyright.PENANAVUzQ82sLs4
by at lunchtime to check on you."742Please respect copyright.PENANAtleYj48rf6
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.742Please respect copyright.PENANATknQ0nA4AB
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.742Please respect copyright.PENANAkYuLqnv0ns
"Nothing," said Christine.742Please respect copyright.PENANA4D5wu8MePm
I noticed Mike give 742Please respect copyright.PENANA0b90XAz1yv
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut742Please respect copyright.PENANAf7511FA8ua
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 742Please respect copyright.PENANAWplINGT5zp
going on.742Please respect copyright.PENANAlBYSjib50s
"It's just about the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAGP3vniNHre
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 742Please respect copyright.PENANABiXRPEdouA
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 742Please respect copyright.PENANARHIROzwjof
happened."742Please respect copyright.PENANAYPwFXOKZtM
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."742Please respect copyright.PENANA6PjyIVGaFj
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."742Please respect copyright.PENANAHs4jMEl4HD
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.742Please respect copyright.PENANA87S1dEYgoY
When we arrived at YG, 742Please respect copyright.PENANAZkSzOBnniF
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 742Please respect copyright.PENANAkLv18IVoB5
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.742Please respect copyright.PENANAri13kcccG1
"I already informed the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAcfGZLAw9YT
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxk2qnYU7XR
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAmjAqYhd3Q3
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."742Please respect copyright.PENANAf0cj8w23IK
"I know you will. See you later."742Please respect copyright.PENANAZChZjRVvqC
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1ox52sN9kN
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.742Please respect copyright.PENANAIpdszrJxaQ
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.742Please respect copyright.PENANAZlARrJIKKb
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEd4WdApus0
"Careful, Zoey," I said 742Please respect copyright.PENANArHqtgPlDZa
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 742Please respect copyright.PENANAR0qtfnUZPJ
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."742Please respect copyright.PENANAbODh9XlGof
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.742Please respect copyright.PENANA6ptwSw6UO7
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANA4YM5kDt6o5
"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.742Please respect copyright.PENANASpyaYw08fP
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.742Please respect copyright.PENANAshjFaCRpoK
"No," I said as the 742Please respect copyright.PENANApAhWRAQIcu
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 742Please respect copyright.PENANAymKlwSlfm4
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 742Please respect copyright.PENANAbBKbcAOny4
studios.742Please respect copyright.PENANANrb7e1pBh2
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.742Please respect copyright.PENANA7R8gaElaVn
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."742Please respect copyright.PENANAudzBBVCnOZ
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."742Please respect copyright.PENANAhZG9nPFmBW
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.742Please respect copyright.PENANAsHUWI5sC2A
"That's different."742Please respect copyright.PENANAZJLsyvIJr0
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."742Please respect copyright.PENANAGqCokl1502
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAAV70hEI15H
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."742Please respect copyright.PENANAs5PdfPz7D8
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.742Please respect copyright.PENANAkHd5fmXQwG
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.742Please respect copyright.PENANAfslCWvJnfl
It was so much fun 742Please respect copyright.PENANAP1PeMHEQTV
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 742Please respect copyright.PENANAvGeSO5sJ8o
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 742Please respect copyright.PENANAsRHxOh6bFk
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.742Please respect copyright.PENANALJeZ2HcG8O
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.742Please respect copyright.PENANAsfbik4WkWf
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.742Please respect copyright.PENANArx3yTuJQYN
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."742Please respect copyright.PENANAZ29ylmL1nJ
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANANmLFjvmTdh
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAVIQBiooiXE
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.742Please respect copyright.PENANAfQhtUsMbYT
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.742Please respect copyright.PENANAz8Ou8sTXrj
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."742Please respect copyright.PENANAsTQHvrEPej
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."742Please respect copyright.PENANAmnM7irgg73
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."742Please respect copyright.PENANAfBY02ib2QQ
"Come on, Zoey," I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAL2uJ4ZrZ41
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 742Please respect copyright.PENANAZyGMFOr374
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."742Please respect copyright.PENANAocdBrz7gYF
"What song?"742Please respect copyright.PENANArfP8cpX0nc
I didn't answer when I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAGlVNU6xPUs
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 742Please respect copyright.PENANAV12JtLKrDw
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAAMviXk2iwo
pill soon started to play.742Please respect copyright.PENANAfm2tK7Pvir
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.742Please respect copyright.PENANAXp35JlRrDG
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.742Please respect copyright.PENANAl1e3klRoF0
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.742Please respect copyright.PENANADtM0YTBFhH
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.742Please respect copyright.PENANAH9ISfbFWzA
It's been a while since I742Please respect copyright.PENANAbOUMGkAT1U
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 742Please respect copyright.PENANAFIdVXeXbvc
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxkKI8rgU46
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.742Please respect copyright.PENANAA7PTW4cW0k
At the end of it, the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAWqzlSwFXbH
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 742Please respect copyright.PENANAGQkQAbbKPX
our moves synchronising with one another.742Please respect copyright.PENANAtXkv0mvSr7
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEbgw4pGloR
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."742Please respect copyright.PENANADQFWVpYwoc
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.742Please respect copyright.PENANAmMPulhb1IQ
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.742Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2FA43ksDq
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAvB4ZLHaFOh
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."742Please respect copyright.PENANAAB51D1lUJR
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."742Please respect copyright.PENANAw34aT4LWyr
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.742Please respect copyright.PENANA5aPYcclZXK
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.742Please respect copyright.PENANA3ET73LKnbM
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAwnkBUOkkvd
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.742Please respect copyright.PENANAUt13skFuWl
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAhDGBKSWLGB
Mino and Seunghoon both 742Please respect copyright.PENANAW4jxd6S08r
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 742Please respect copyright.PENANAVcCB0uuY6X
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.742Please respect copyright.PENANAH6od7Bsl1k
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.742Please respect copyright.PENANAhDVumY1PY2
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.742Please respect copyright.PENANAkiErVANqDi
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."742Please respect copyright.PENANAP8LYPKiy68
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.742Please respect copyright.PENANAVyZcY42th0
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAetKKkewR98
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAwdkYmNcN2R
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."742Please respect copyright.PENANABJpY6rposc
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.742Please respect copyright.PENANAPuM1c5in04
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.742Please respect copyright.PENANAJBse8ibQl8
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAPEl39blROD
I nudged my head to the 742Please respect copyright.PENANADatxKGYtUj
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 742Please respect copyright.PENANAphVroV3co0
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the742Please respect copyright.PENANAIPcJgZzS0U
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.742Please respect copyright.PENANAGPAsEYoeLk
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.742Please respect copyright.PENANA3jqNi62riZ
Seunghoon lips were 742Please respect copyright.PENANAYtkMHR7OWb
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was742Please respect copyright.PENANArdljrFfOK4
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose742Please respect copyright.PENANAwUdXpF0zmB
focus.742Please respect copyright.PENANALCw8QtFvFk
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.742Please respect copyright.PENANAfiPynl3mCx
"The others might, but I742Please respect copyright.PENANA2QR8IQplQ5
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going742Please respect copyright.PENANAzSGM8HQ8dR
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 742Please respect copyright.PENANAuj3WYHVf6d
when TOP came to pick me up?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAHgeWbqSA0m
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."742Please respect copyright.PENANAOpZHl7ns5B
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA8akgAsN0Wh
He again took a step closer. "Yes."742Please respect copyright.PENANACyn23eRMWw
Well, that made sense 742Please respect copyright.PENANAkfIkZWvuG0
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 742Please respect copyright.PENANA4nR96dbYI0
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 742Please respect copyright.PENANAZPhow8leTV
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 742Please respect copyright.PENANAhqSypuXGML
seen.742Please respect copyright.PENANAuSJDF0aZAc
I hadn't realised it 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXaTAwb8lGD
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking742Please respect copyright.PENANA4TIxmfNadL
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 742Please respect copyright.PENANAP9MdfTyush
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 742Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ06VSF5bU
uncomfortable.742Please respect copyright.PENANA6v93orZT7s
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.742Please respect copyright.PENANAJSA6Q8Lwer
"Well, yes," he 742Please respect copyright.PENANAvR64UWBmgy
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 742Please respect copyright.PENANAsrrXInnDVL
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."742Please respect copyright.PENANAd2WmjSJqfh
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANAWYudrSPzKV
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.742Please respect copyright.PENANA596ggUCCGj
I blushed and I was a 742Please respect copyright.PENANArbVdPEui2u
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 742Please respect copyright.PENANAkOnugCyIRF
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAtojBxUAY11
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 742Please respect copyright.PENANAhPpl8qgCOU
celebrities.742Please respect copyright.PENANAcL67iCfDNN
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA70FkkO1BSq
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.742Please respect copyright.PENANALaYomSJC8q
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."742Please respect copyright.PENANAnvXlKDZkUn
"No, they don't," I lied742Please respect copyright.PENANAJSBDhFXZHw
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 742Please respect copyright.PENANA8nXL0PaMcg
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAToZTOneFkT
others had arrived.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEZmvjFZ8GD
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.742Please respect copyright.PENANAb1EssGfgwd
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.742Please respect copyright.PENANAqhMfbSZu9A
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.742Please respect copyright.PENANAm9EDFppzNP
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAVBXFTCsK1F
"Awesome," I replied.742Please respect copyright.PENANAqvYN8uXmV4
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.742Please respect copyright.PENANAknPkT8PkAM
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.742Please respect copyright.PENANAHd1IlB2Y0h
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.742Please respect copyright.PENANAmhIJ9A6gCd
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.742Please respect copyright.PENANAJjHHZTIQjy
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.742Please respect copyright.PENANAVzcx5qxiYK
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.742Please respect copyright.PENANAMGiFTPrlYX
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."742Please respect copyright.PENANA03n87obl8J
"And besides, you and I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAHobdpOLwC9
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 742Please respect copyright.PENANA3qF1OS94Rg
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 742Please respect copyright.PENANACokMrJP2PX
and Seunghoon showed up."742Please respect copyright.PENANAjIN0CYnwOZ
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.742Please respect copyright.PENANAzjvBC1164i
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.742Please respect copyright.PENANAr87gwGtqdW
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."742Please respect copyright.PENANAqIdQMobxCf
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.742Please respect copyright.PENANAbTP49wyGfm
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.742Please respect copyright.PENANAucqk6XyDZj
Apparently, he wasn't 742Please respect copyright.PENANA0uPfuIg1rU
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all742Please respect copyright.PENANAF36oy1r30I
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that742Please respect copyright.PENANAmTycdMbyRW
just made him look even more adorable.742Please respect copyright.PENANA29LWVGMRxi
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.742Please respect copyright.PENANA8hutw62kEa
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."742Please respect copyright.PENANAMmB28LhzkG
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.742Please respect copyright.PENANA6J7iYDpijr
"Yes!" I heard the four 742Please respect copyright.PENANAzwbe6vch8x
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 742Please respect copyright.PENANAAWnUQvm0mW
at the track list. Then, something came to me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAMPUG1PIy6n
"Change of plans, Zoey,"742Please respect copyright.PENANAPtV8AuQ4mV
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want742Please respect copyright.PENANA0duODbkJon
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."742Please respect copyright.PENANAks997oQsnp
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."742Please respect copyright.PENANAfUwbLWwolp
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANAarbJsDDkD4
"This just got interesting," said Mino.742Please respect copyright.PENANAuydWE09o6t
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAHg1Cyq2pZj
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."742Please respect copyright.PENANAE3u8z6YdIW
"Taeyang is going to 742Please respect copyright.PENANAwmfhPOg1Z3
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 742Please respect copyright.PENANANWKp41JxJt
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."742Please respect copyright.PENANA5TkZQ9EpdH
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."742Please respect copyright.PENANAHr6P8p3bT8
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAUcfrkQxWPo
I tapped the track on my742Please respect copyright.PENANAsu7z5BAOHg
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 742Please respect copyright.PENANA5VLGrGIxiV
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEHsBtSkxcL
When the song started, I742Please respect copyright.PENANADLqWyx8Koj
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 742Please respect copyright.PENANAutwGbjFiIE
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 742Please respect copyright.PENANAFJRuWit5vz
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 742Please respect copyright.PENANA3eKe0YCU5v
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to742Please respect copyright.PENANAf52vx4Q6VQ
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 742Please respect copyright.PENANAitg3ah1cGU
doing a pretty good with the moves too.742Please respect copyright.PENANAoOKt4nJbRg
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.742Please respect copyright.PENANAiGDEdQk1Dy
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.742Please respect copyright.PENANAjjDadF72zp
"Whenever it came to the742Please respect copyright.PENANAZxkh71MNz1
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 742Please respect copyright.PENANASG6Vkk4YXz
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."742Please respect copyright.PENANAo5QbZ9Puov
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."742Please respect copyright.PENANAXlPOoI2W3N
"Thanks, guys," I said.742Please respect copyright.PENANAfwK53zuGmR
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.742Please respect copyright.PENANAKTT1LbaQpH
"Now, coming to my 742Please respect copyright.PENANAtXCI6P7P8L
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXrYRUEyOct
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 742Please respect copyright.PENANAq2XmgJ4Kiq
think is a better dancer?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAZYyIY23BKw
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANATsGrNviTcl
"Why?" Zoey asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAUyHekaSnxK
"I think you and I both 742Please respect copyright.PENANAOSUxnEffgS
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 742Please respect copyright.PENANAQcR9zhD2m2
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAL9PlhSDrCz
That counts for something, right?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA1NOWeXrjGN
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."742Please respect copyright.PENANA6gmBQv6Pg5
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."742Please respect copyright.PENANAJLsNBINnMn
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.742Please respect copyright.PENANAfkci7nUN1I
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAfYJlky3xXV
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAOGgwMBiul3
"Well, ya." Mike 742Please respect copyright.PENANARmj2h43fTj
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 742Please respect copyright.PENANADjWIb1X8ox
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 742Please respect copyright.PENANAb0SMV6KvIz
sentence as he looked at Zoey.742Please respect copyright.PENANASltZQKuw2h
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."742Please respect copyright.PENANAL4UVgCHHb3
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.742Please respect copyright.PENANAZim6D9VRBU
"I also think it will be742Please respect copyright.PENANAbiNsa9UFct
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 742Please respect copyright.PENANAyY4kvur500
obviously bring out a better opinion."742Please respect copyright.PENANArjPxhjPEYr
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.742Please respect copyright.PENANARmhuSu2Ptk
"Count me out of it," I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAnwfyAzjZcn
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 742Please respect copyright.PENANA8vgWcE59IK
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."742Please respect copyright.PENANAK50u6ode5h
"Fine, I'll create a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAvbw5g7IQEC
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how742Please respect copyright.PENANApxOhDz63o5
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though742Please respect copyright.PENANAixQhGsCEPf
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."742Please respect copyright.PENANA2yQvDvsGmQ
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."742Please respect copyright.PENANAhNSFpiboJr
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."742Please respect copyright.PENANAhqCLr8mqnF
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.742Please respect copyright.PENANAuJfEGCvXkE
Zoey and Mike soon got 742Please respect copyright.PENANATPA16diMeH
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 742Please respect copyright.PENANAdLbUKTlYr1
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 742Please respect copyright.PENANArhQCFOKGEq
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance742Please respect copyright.PENANAH7YKPp7WDA
battle.742Please respect copyright.PENANANT6nlZQPT3
I got my phone and the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAevX0IMuzI6
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAk3owsZMMiM
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAWhssUJ1kr9
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.742Please respect copyright.PENANAqFFwqBJF18
I turned to look at him 742Please respect copyright.PENANAWjXrnf6haK
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 742Please respect copyright.PENANAkI164qSEAJ
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 742Please respect copyright.PENANAi7PplrmCy1
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 742Please respect copyright.PENANAjDI7Oaoxxk
smile if they were to look at him.742Please respect copyright.PENANAIONYheIKI0
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANAn7GdPQb6pk
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1ykZNFPZ3r
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."742Please respect copyright.PENANA3XJ8ERAnk9
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."742Please respect copyright.PENANAB68fzScz63
"You're right about that."742Please respect copyright.PENANAogdxxobqMX
I looked behind me with a742Please respect copyright.PENANAtFEUejnYEV
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 742Please respect copyright.PENANABFrXTiOj35
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 742Please respect copyright.PENANAKCdEkK2oQ9
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 742Please respect copyright.PENANA6PwtAD96W5
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.742Please respect copyright.PENANAAvNJrq15gQ
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAoOnC35OnUU
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z8dRv6cBr
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAmjJJu36szl
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANA5GKsiBsleO
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."742Please respect copyright.PENANAdZDgC1KeGc
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."742Please respect copyright.PENANACipuc04yEM
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.742Please respect copyright.PENANAwgCZDAnrR6
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.742Please respect copyright.PENANAPLmmgANNhG
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEMQzmB2mK6
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."742Please respect copyright.PENANAJRipypL8sx
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAGqxw5IwPo6
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."742Please respect copyright.PENANAvvwKydQtiF
"I sure hope so," I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAdT7sM8G2h5
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 742Please respect copyright.PENANA0y6JFRZjf7
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."742Please respect copyright.PENANAMqjTHgx1pA
"What about those two?" 742Please respect copyright.PENANAMjq0bkNEiT
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxIobCjA4z8
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 742Please respect copyright.PENANAEDwikKYBuk
soon.742Please respect copyright.PENANAlNWVVOnfG5
"They will notice when 742Please respect copyright.PENANAMDd6Nzlvnf
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 742Please respect copyright.PENANA0M3OMW3hkP
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAQDSJrY9AI3
"Sure," he said with a smile.742Please respect copyright.PENANAoyDOa1QNFu
Christine, Daniel and I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAmh4J4ltpVD
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 742Please respect copyright.PENANAEc7qyymuVK
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.742Please respect copyright.PENANA73dNBSFIbB
Twenty minutes later, I 742Please respect copyright.PENANA8v9wI1l71E
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 742Please respect copyright.PENANAlN3uL1lXpl
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 742Please respect copyright.PENANAT4532X95Ko
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 742Please respect copyright.PENANAyzwkj9P9Y9
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 742Please respect copyright.PENANAS8N6N2i1pU
in the shower room, still patching herself up.742Please respect copyright.PENANAs17rv2MFz6
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.742Please respect copyright.PENANA5JZRXG9Soh
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."742Please respect copyright.PENANAY6dIPeptTm
"Why? Anything special?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAWt3IZASwPb
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.742Please respect copyright.PENANAX6xRNMUVQk
"Oh, nothing," I stared 742Please respect copyright.PENANANxN8T626ol
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 742Please respect copyright.PENANADD9ZTahNZu
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 742Please respect copyright.PENANADRuMuWGY6p
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."742Please respect copyright.PENANALz4sbuFH8p
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAqMiaw5yueS
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.742Please respect copyright.PENANAXFZNvMHT7d
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.742Please respect copyright.PENANAJChnmaFnK5
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEbY5HKbtWU
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."742Please respect copyright.PENANA9yaDmnRfg9
"What are you talking about?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA4HqGDZ35QG
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAmHXGyEF1Ea
Christine's mouth fell 742Please respect copyright.PENANAinYtuDN2GP
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 742Please respect copyright.PENANAafspF5CbVb
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.742Please respect copyright.PENANA8SV4sfBgFK
"No, I don't," she said.742Please respect copyright.PENANAFfWKAk5f0f
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAvDJ8F3MbMe
do like him but only as a fan girl."742Please respect copyright.PENANADKqVjiIjF6
"Please, I saw the way 742Please respect copyright.PENANALx1JWjtkFD
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that742Please respect copyright.PENANAmBKXNRCEzT
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."742Please respect copyright.PENANAOoESLkiaws
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 742Please respect copyright.PENANA8gCox2wxNE
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of742Please respect copyright.PENANAw0BspJ4jpU
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxZe8cMho4q
more."742Please respect copyright.PENANAzkqTkvvD6A
"Ya, right," I said as I742Please respect copyright.PENANAjvJo7sABLX
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 742Please respect copyright.PENANAmOYUwRXEAd
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 742Please respect copyright.PENANAN9uAmoATrH
weird look on your face."742Please respect copyright.PENANAdNDCB2uwhv
"What weird look?"742Please respect copyright.PENANADmWWi2jjsi
"The jealous one."742Please respect copyright.PENANA1agVHusCNs
"Spare me the drama, Sam."742Please respect copyright.PENANABcyz3z9F1h
"If Zoey was the one 742Please respect copyright.PENANAqiDlmzptVF
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 742Please respect copyright.PENANA0VfGP9ptgk
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 742Please respect copyright.PENANAn85ra9T9nr
Jinwoo."742Please respect copyright.PENANAf9eKjBvUIK
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.742Please respect copyright.PENANAFExVkFqikl
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"742Please respect copyright.PENANATBBbZuISdw
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."742Please respect copyright.PENANAbRCAaJyg07
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.742Please respect copyright.PENANAZF5xLDbMsX
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.742Please respect copyright.PENANAQPKc0a8xZF
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.742Please respect copyright.PENANAjUV5ggCIOu
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.742Please respect copyright.PENANApCL7nf6edR
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.742Please respect copyright.PENANAiTzoZ93gOS
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAUJFu4HHUl0
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.742Please respect copyright.PENANA6U3X9SqQHe
Mike gave Christine a 742Please respect copyright.PENANA9xmhO9Qdex
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 742Please respect copyright.PENANAOhB4sh8TMf
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't742Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7NYikGn6e
wrong about that.742Please respect copyright.PENANAoXj3pu11Yt
We decided to go back to742Please respect copyright.PENANAOnGHM0ZNmK
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 742Please respect copyright.PENANAcVFQ4J5yw2
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,742Please respect copyright.PENANAvrB7wO9WtE
this happened:742Please respect copyright.PENANAvNb2LwKyI7
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.742Please respect copyright.PENANA2TwPSpo15F
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.742Please respect copyright.PENANA0pokZz3Dr2
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.742Please respect copyright.PENANAcqzrlIpJrA
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."742Please respect copyright.PENANAcqIcuo0yQ6
I wanted to frown at him742Please respect copyright.PENANAb7rw5BmLw8
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxrltD2Xm4I
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.742Please respect copyright.PENANAW0IPZ37PUN
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1azpGknoYX
I looked at Jinwoo and I742Please respect copyright.PENANA37Dytco2If
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 742Please respect copyright.PENANAwYUS1TnXVc
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 742Please respect copyright.PENANAqYXn5z88gQ
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.742Please respect copyright.PENANAdVDPO5Q4n9
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.742Please respect copyright.PENANAsFnH4GyFML
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAUKOlblHgNc
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEqh9DQ930Y
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."742Please respect copyright.PENANAuzFRQ32qua
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANA6vZJJKL5l3
"Good idea. Let's go."742Please respect copyright.PENANAf9FW8pPNZz
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAmQjvNcwx8G
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.742Please respect copyright.PENANArs4IaRqKP7
Before he could say 742Please respect copyright.PENANARV3MvjSL5y
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I742Please respect copyright.PENANAbHk7S465iY
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped742Please respect copyright.PENANAiPUZKiq4CU
out of the room, he was snickering.742Please respect copyright.PENANAxLjcmZhgHX
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.742Please respect copyright.PENANADyixlhdKOZ
"Just because I'm his 742Please respect copyright.PENANAv33mKYIcnh
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being742Please respect copyright.PENANAIjr6s19SSB
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAq9nmsA4var
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."742Please respect copyright.PENANARbHn6o7YQM
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAplhS6qOHad
"Actually, it was only 742Please respect copyright.PENANAiSwyGVEPqN
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 742Please respect copyright.PENANAL3t2dwCVJH
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."742Please respect copyright.PENANA9uF0IeOWNB
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.742Please respect copyright.PENANAgWefhTKWt4
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.742Please respect copyright.PENANAdHhevYleRK
When we got to the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAIpBAZimZ1u
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 742Please respect copyright.PENANAdhnskzaKxk
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 742Please respect copyright.PENANASt5790UZsh
inside the elevator.742Please respect copyright.PENANAg4L1zm14Jk
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.742Please respect copyright.PENANAlv9tKsks1Y
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."742Please respect copyright.PENANA40ZrqrBYcK
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.742Please respect copyright.PENANAylKEL0I8J6
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.742Please respect copyright.PENANAqvEYKb6zdn
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."742Please respect copyright.PENANATr1b0XUKqO
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAnXOZvfvi4q
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANANTsMPIYZe1
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."742Please respect copyright.PENANAokJaAYlE7M
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."742Please respect copyright.PENANAiKitXuMBjz
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."742Please respect copyright.PENANADLnD9u2trM
"Well, if you're 742Please respect copyright.PENANAX4sjEanv51
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 742Please respect copyright.PENANAIf4shu5JKD
his face and I could tell something was up.742Please respect copyright.PENANA72CXmrsdSQ
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA5z5Ad0QyLa
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."742Please respect copyright.PENANARUiyiMCkI1
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"742Please respect copyright.PENANA4AIR7dpJdD
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."742Please respect copyright.PENANAzwg3TmaJZR
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.742Please respect copyright.PENANAB70MzIoZGQ
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."742Please respect copyright.PENANAF5oJSqEskl
"I came to see you guys 742Please respect copyright.PENANA959ZeghS0R
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 742Please respect copyright.PENANADyEcZsNIBs
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."742Please respect copyright.PENANA924lwj29NY
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."742Please respect copyright.PENANA46pNhNTatY
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."742Please respect copyright.PENANARTPAmiJiNo
"Okay, then you go and 742Please respect copyright.PENANAZTF6milewt
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino742Please respect copyright.PENANANsdEErNuCG
to get Zoey as fast as we could."742Please respect copyright.PENANATepqxbqXXK
"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.742Please respect copyright.PENANADJcaNOtifs
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.742Please respect copyright.PENANAIMxgvARyU9
We headed downstairs to 742Please respect copyright.PENANARFQHgDVYms
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 742Please respect copyright.PENANA8zv8BV8SJ1
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.742Please respect copyright.PENANAsSylFSZfo3
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAxFdTjNZRfh
"Trying to look good," 742Please respect copyright.PENANAJsxlQbCJyp
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 742Please respect copyright.PENANA6mBszmGhZE
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 742Please respect copyright.PENANA106v8QBwEs
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."742Please respect copyright.PENANATSfZDSf4IJ
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.742Please respect copyright.PENANA8orooh7uo9
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.742Please respect copyright.PENANAGvshyHy4uf
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."742Please respect copyright.PENANALVjL2LJWyS
"You're kidding, right?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAk4WCRrmgHS
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."742Please respect copyright.PENANAXKfC2oZK8H
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAr6NEFymO5v
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANAZULYsPRGRj
Just as I turned around 742Please respect copyright.PENANAxH3sJKlJ0U
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 742Please respect copyright.PENANA2iY4sc1Zys
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 742Please respect copyright.PENANAGXxfaYleLV
the the floor we were on.742Please respect copyright.PENANAi4SxZZdmrc
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.742Please respect copyright.PENANAUyONULlLgt
Just as we turned round a742Please respect copyright.PENANA0vg9OBt3tN
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 742Please respect copyright.PENANA5VpJBZrV1J
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAFPZ35D27Cs
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 742Please respect copyright.PENANAHwiOvDuvO0
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.742Please respect copyright.PENANACW2bg6w1Hq
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ90RVTW5N
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.742Please respect copyright.PENANA8pqHJ74wwq
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAQg2AdTIZ94
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."742Please respect copyright.PENANAI4bJe8xYnl
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAJEvfOjekA0
I didn't say anything as742Please respect copyright.PENANAGAMZNANMOg
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 742Please respect copyright.PENANADavFyojpJK
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 742Please respect copyright.PENANA3xLuudIwwA
Hyun-suk's voice.742Please respect copyright.PENANAY2J3plyRO2
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.742Please respect copyright.PENANApvVkS6v1jO
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.742Please respect copyright.PENANAV1Xvas10ag
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.742Please respect copyright.PENANAPQJIRrlXqW
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.742Please respect copyright.PENANALq4nwXzCU1
I checked around with my742Please respect copyright.PENANABasFiTHPrV
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 742Please respect copyright.PENANARGedgjBtxc
the light went on in the tiny room.742Please respect copyright.PENANAHczJ7LVbfp
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANA9oqP479tDD
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.742Please respect copyright.PENANAPwllKDbk7a
I shook my head. "They are still there."742Please respect copyright.PENANACScOa659n4
Mino and Zoey both 742Please respect copyright.PENANAgs7yFd9lqK
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 742Please respect copyright.PENANAR5vtEhYQQi
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 742Please respect copyright.PENANA2POqnkMPSh
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 742Please respect copyright.PENANAB1hy8EU6re
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 742Please respect copyright.PENANAf6e86xGpgZ
behind me.742Please respect copyright.PENANAG1QbTVo0ve
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.742Please respect copyright.PENANAktJQfUj02w
"I think they are gone," I whispered.742Please respect copyright.PENANAhbNm4oJLuu
"Try and check," Mino whispered.742Please respect copyright.PENANAPtbkOT8upU
I took hold of the door 742Please respect copyright.PENANAecXHxJTlYW
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 742Please respect copyright.PENANALvGW04Eb7y
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of742Please respect copyright.PENANAG5PCB1tVdI
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.742Please respect copyright.PENANAqngHzbWEIH
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.742Please respect copyright.PENANAKMzNmnop55
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.742Please respect copyright.PENANAPK8qSrkBFJ
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.742Please respect copyright.PENANAouMn3s5h1r
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.742Please respect copyright.PENANARG63y9gS2g
The three of us were 742Please respect copyright.PENANAJaYWFL9jHR
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 742Please respect copyright.PENANAFGCf7PiY20
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was742Please respect copyright.PENANAPYbaeMh29L
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 742Please respect copyright.PENANAWwJBSdYgtC
heard the phone ring.742Please respect copyright.PENANAykHPX1bqEX
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.742Please respect copyright.PENANAgm57ZtjyVP
I quickly took the bag 742Please respect copyright.PENANAnfDerChnx3
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 742Please respect copyright.PENANA0VrcTFxCoO
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 742Please respect copyright.PENANAVOjcnoXPPM
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 742Please respect copyright.PENANA9gd57nOnXm
anything strange."742Please respect copyright.PENANA8VMh8WAfCA
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAHrD5DtQ9JT
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."742Please respect copyright.PENANADPqOqhrOXI
Mino and Zoey quickly 742Please respect copyright.PENANAXdu2jqiRX2
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 742Please respect copyright.PENANAqmdDqx5cVG
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAvujIaUKy6e
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 742Please respect copyright.PENANAmqZppUNWNE
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 742Please respect copyright.PENANADAj7kWdCnI
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.742Please respect copyright.PENANA9iV9PBanBp
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."742Please respect copyright.PENANAG52R6P3hTf
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.742Please respect copyright.PENANA3oLm6E6vYQ
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."742Please respect copyright.PENANAwAboklY4KB
I gave them a little 742Please respect copyright.PENANAs89qUro4ks
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 742Please respect copyright.PENANALsJzPUfEKW
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 742Please respect copyright.PENANAJXXWKZhmaX
the place.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1CywUPE7tM
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAOX81VuKznN
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.742Please respect copyright.PENANAkBdJh2SFKZ
"I must say, I watched 742Please respect copyright.PENANAg9ocQYqOuN
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 742Please respect copyright.PENANArpJVvyMinD
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAj2PSdixxwS
black suit.742Please respect copyright.PENANAC0ijvEgOdU
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.742Please respect copyright.PENANATt02ksR3ib
"You really do have good manners," said other man.742Please respect copyright.PENANAuCItFyMtBa
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.742Please respect copyright.PENANAa0HWrsrTIQ
"I always do my best," I said politely.742Please respect copyright.PENANAIXkNRKa7Tq
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.742Please respect copyright.PENANAX1FI9HjgNS
I felt my eyes were 742Please respect copyright.PENANAzumo25qlTB
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 742Please respect copyright.PENANAZYSEHYwjgO
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 742Please respect copyright.PENANA52sDFwzzEs
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 742Please respect copyright.PENANAGxYwOAFpmw
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.742Please respect copyright.PENANADORfC5CJsZ
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"742Please respect copyright.PENANAs53ISfbczv
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me742Please respect copyright.PENANABLMJyn63ss
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 742Please respect copyright.PENANA1KB6axRGwX
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"742Please respect copyright.PENANACE77Jvdo2V
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.742Please respect copyright.PENANAX9VDdKcCNl
"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."742Please respect copyright.PENANAyavcj6i4lP
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.742Please respect copyright.PENANAMcV1tkZbdG
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.742Please respect copyright.PENANACSqNZ5qr14
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."742Please respect copyright.PENANAO2fkJsnab7
I smiled as I bowed my 742Please respect copyright.PENANAR9MIkfY4T2
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 742Please respect copyright.PENANA45Ib0lTS7W
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 742Please respect copyright.PENANAPDoeuBenzS
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I742Please respect copyright.PENANAwppYzq8wem
was until now.742Please respect copyright.PENANAg7BW4Ru5UN
I quickly ran to the 742Please respect copyright.PENANANa9JFOLhRs
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 742Please respect copyright.PENANAENO75ekSkk
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 742Please respect copyright.PENANAtXvrG4fDbA
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 742Please respect copyright.PENANAHk3OGQAX9U
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 742Please respect copyright.PENANAFZNWQ0GOqn
see.742Please respect copyright.PENANAGM7qhMMZSK
"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.742Please respect copyright.PENANASWYVQfGs84
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."742Please respect copyright.PENANA0M5A8Cz1G1
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.742Please respect copyright.PENANAb5nYjkgbPM
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.742Please respect copyright.PENANAvWF2KmvYLj
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.742Please respect copyright.PENANAFKr7z9kNIe
"Because I missed you."742Please respect copyright.PENANAavqAFM7i7a
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.742Please respect copyright.PENANAQT13ddqlzT
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.742Please respect copyright.PENANAdz4vlPDQm1
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.742Please respect copyright.PENANA83CeSYlgEQ
When we reached the 742Please respect copyright.PENANARuxQWD9ada
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 742Please respect copyright.PENANAjd1NCztSqP
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 742Please respect copyright.PENANApA8mdOIoLf
lobby.742Please respect copyright.PENANAdJnRPwQc2B
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.742Please respect copyright.PENANAMseqVOPUl7
"I think I've an idea," I742Please respect copyright.PENANA6RKs62jDA5
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going742Please respect copyright.PENANAEDh2CnuYmS
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAW7mmQNHsng
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."742Please respect copyright.PENANATIlKvxF3SH
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.742Please respect copyright.PENANALUBwQaHwNv
I rolled my eyes. I 742Please respect copyright.PENANACHYVSBY2E0
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself742Please respect copyright.PENANAyL7CJ6cyP7
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAjoDuHGKVdy
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.742Please respect copyright.PENANAEo8nMCx6Qn
"Because I'm smart 742Please respect copyright.PENANAfZZoEp8kui
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such742Please respect copyright.PENANAP14nRdaOl9
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAJFTVMFLpyE
Mino and TOP smiled at 742Please respect copyright.PENANAvzq1fxp3yQ
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 742Please respect copyright.PENANAhV9qhtEBIk
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 742Please respect copyright.PENANAUeZ1hpaRPn
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.742Please respect copyright.PENANABjro6wM3zn
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."742Please respect copyright.PENANAPQw2VmhOwd
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAFTnMjWyFDt
"If we don't take the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAQTJr3xTkIR
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 742Please respect copyright.PENANAe6nCJmX0wY
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."742Please respect copyright.PENANAV3flSL1RSe
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.742Please respect copyright.PENANABJlQhHKhIb
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.742Please respect copyright.PENANAL7Bm2qiXYX
"You guys go right now 742Please respect copyright.PENANAR2ablj9IOn
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAte30u60N5u
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."742Please respect copyright.PENANAcI0etxMtwF
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.742Please respect copyright.PENANAR3SCTKtZto
"Because I need you around."742Please respect copyright.PENANAFfXym0pneu
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.742Please respect copyright.PENANA2EON8ZkK92
Seungyoon and his group 742Please respect copyright.PENANAvmKBFV3Yam
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAoRnWen7Gt4
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 742Please respect copyright.PENANACeHITXCyHA
for ten minutes.742Please respect copyright.PENANABGByHqIU7g
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANA1187ZINH3f
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.742Please respect copyright.PENANAsPWB2ysVDU
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.742Please respect copyright.PENANAUNkMzRVGwk
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.742Please respect copyright.PENANAXJxkrLs0ka
"So if you guys are 742Please respect copyright.PENANASziExzNgEg
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 742Please respect copyright.PENANAs151suygji
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANAnv7QXad7Iu
"Why do you ask?" I asked.742Please respect copyright.PENANA6w9MGnfVzf
"You guys can't just 742Please respect copyright.PENANA7jdy6aOCOb
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 742Please respect copyright.PENANA4sCVX7Y6pQ
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 742Please respect copyright.PENANAVn5vha80SR
managers will find out what's going on."742Please respect copyright.PENANABMBZA1kY9S
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.742Please respect copyright.PENANAlRIbSiHprC
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.742Please respect copyright.PENANAmaxcwHyAyt
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.742Please respect copyright.PENANAW6vYGOyND3
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."742Please respect copyright.PENANAqeHtEYjtuS
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."742Please respect copyright.PENANAJ284JK4YVj
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.742Please respect copyright.PENANAsSpEG1yTj2
The others quickly 742Please respect copyright.PENANAG7WIZ64jKf
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 742Please respect copyright.PENANA62JfXVBr9l
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAhpnyjvzgtU
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 742Please respect copyright.PENANAX4LgbRzizr
worried that they might have hit their heads.742Please respect copyright.PENANAoQbGywn19I
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.742Please respect copyright.PENANAey7WN4VXrr
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."742Please respect copyright.PENANA9ztCqz3abD
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.742Please respect copyright.PENANAoiRyDdvIZ5
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.742Please respect copyright.PENANAeedaLdUXsC
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.742Please respect copyright.PENANAgDLlGqLLzy
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"742Please respect copyright.PENANAOV2DZUYwFh
As soon as I turned 742Please respect copyright.PENANAGJrdFlvFHw
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the742Please respect copyright.PENANACuVokpet24
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 742Please respect copyright.PENANAzT6Yda8dTF
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 742Please respect copyright.PENANAKGTYbbBuNj
behind me paused ready for the worst.742Please respect copyright.PENANAmhIGhdyQ3q
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.742Please respect copyright.PENANAJQkm00IHNv
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."742Please respect copyright.PENANAeIEPji05wI
"Well, this day just got742Please respect copyright.PENANAoDwfqjMxVR
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about742Please respect copyright.PENANAMtkbHbfoiW
it. I couldn't blame him for that.742Please respect copyright.PENANAWzGBdKr3JB
Coming out of the 742Please respect copyright.PENANAy8wlTDhfRV
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 742Please respect copyright.PENANAZJzCT2DUgD
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 742Please respect copyright.PENANAkQurjZELnS
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.742Please respect copyright.PENANAOwj0jP2G8Q
I felt like I had stood 742Please respect copyright.PENANATCLXIgRur6
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged742Please respect copyright.PENANAEuJVYc1RhZ
me on the shoulder to get my attention.742Please respect copyright.PENANA4QToQwjVLF
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.742Please respect copyright.PENANAAjWejyQZT4
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.742Please respect copyright.PENANApJmmBGme5x
