Meeting WINNER the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAzo3wac2sKj
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 1142Please respect copyright.PENANANfhfrDsHEr
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAKxlsN1szki
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA3l2v69qwOG
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQ670Mtdz6E
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA6MXIRgGHuN
With the little time we 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAAH9KO9Gb5u
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again1142Please respect copyright.PENANAH3tUKjky7f
as we all got to know each other.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAVmQucZO4Hn
Seungyoon, the leader 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAkEeDAyyknF
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 1142Please respect copyright.PENANADrZz0THqKU
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a1142Please respect copyright.PENANA6psBhCvyGu
fun and nice person to be around with.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4CXLjqfuRT
Then there is Mino, who 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAX4jAW27GMD
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for1142Please respect copyright.PENANAG6sVp7cOmR
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZyKCElFklo
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.1142Please respect copyright.PENANATHmYzakg5g
As for Jinwoo and 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAo1g5Sva5hd
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxRltRKGjkl
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 1142Please respect copyright.PENANARzEzvVGxcX
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAPSMjtZlqzA
in Korea.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA67Ar56d3ZJ
As for Seunghoon, I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxvokmlSYH5
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking1142Please respect copyright.PENANALDs1Q1qY47
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAOlmPpwYcU5
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAl7fzHZzi4I
Before they left, we 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQMwpiMmwpx
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAt3DPRgeAnh
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAAenDxk0GMR
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAc85PQKja3T
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJl94ftE2xv
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAgp2S5TzSU9
place?1142Please respect copyright.PENANAVVaIXBqaQ0
I already had that part 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAKi5u30MPFp
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJaDN6ai5mH
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAMDDHwAjJs1
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANArtJ2IbTt0Y
wouldn't have to break a sweat.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxEpgFaPYoa
Right now, this very 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAaMsONJJIVz
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA5wuA4wUKWt
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAfJq4Wedftx
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZo7TKqHvv7
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4SetzNcjqw
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAseKSYwLjZ4
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAFzyG1uaYWO
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdIvvnTOEUL
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlI0wVGAXHP
"I'm tired of sleeping,"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAMkdecYY9Uw
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA620sc417Wj
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 1142Please respect copyright.PENANATyZE0bWmlV
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAz8JCk9Yku3
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAW90BK8cPIi
"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."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdvCLubdDtr
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9rYYl4aYuK
"You know, going for 1142Please respect copyright.PENANADBZoKGas68
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAB6Eu3z1II9
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJly5bNfiHv
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAgqMAB6I4li
we try to do what we're familiar with."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9oyP1MHKwD
"Mmmm, I guess you're 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAHKfMRr15l2
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAqDNJovzMbs
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 1142Please respect copyright.PENANALdd99kCSz9
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAfjJDApKajN
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAq1vdkdt0LP
"Yep," Collins nodded 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAa40b7ykmX4
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAzfP89kY2va
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 1142Please respect copyright.PENANALPD3CH3Mfe
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 1142Please respect copyright.PENANABoprnTeSui
good now, will it?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAgdZzFI9KZe
Wow. This was literally 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAaC2tTo0e1w
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8kjuLHCch0
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.1142Please respect copyright.PENANALtlwC0EnOq
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.1142Please respect copyright.PENANADRBIEiiC4O
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.1142Please respect copyright.PENANASiiCkwiLY1
I left the lounge at a 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdlVonZWIr8
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAF1udxTfhga
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door1142Please respect copyright.PENANAAaHC45c98Z
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAjFAep7I9BG
Zoey sat up with a start1142Please respect copyright.PENANAd0Xf9Cd7Ex
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAzkNjwnxJrU
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9N9pqmQZBW
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANA0u2gwh3NIM
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAzLYKFWuuz2
At first she didn't say a1142Please respect copyright.PENANAt6mDTIiwFl
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA6gMV4VnCaI
looking at me with her eyes wide open.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7FBk9gwbF7
"What did you say?" she asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAPip9ZJcNRg
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAi5gYDBMTSY
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANArEGBxlqkcs
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7msLVFp9gJ
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANABzBqMsGlm3
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAzfSetXJ1Kc
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAsUF7vEYTvm
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAVBrIEIHYgr
I went to wake up 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAP8ZFyIastu
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I1142Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ4XxBkh11
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8LVbdgtWS
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAUAkkUpCeIJ
"I gave a reasonable 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAbPOTzIrFu5
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA1zQAMneGrY
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAMNVNxUvvrc
I noticed Christine 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAu1E68aoUCS
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly1142Please respect copyright.PENANA6LByxg8D6a
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAS3E7vAZMyh
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAFDoEe8Z6RR
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlfpSUdHLrc
When we all had our bags1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZnkJUZnnU4
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAcRVjCfYM7z
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAwAtLWJLCfG
looked at us.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAzp25NWRHx9
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA6XbyJ4ygEb
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAYI0FtKk5Eg
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdeDV6IjYJX
"I hate when you use my 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAFMkDsAadxl
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA3vMAu1KKCt
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAoLksRnrOmh
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAAD5hlCGpVu
Collins rolled his eyes 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAl1HbhDRsCY
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 1142Please respect copyright.PENANArOZYeynay8
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAgAmzSg3tpj
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlkdbxx6BE5
"I would really love to,1142Please respect copyright.PENANACZ7MRu7dh5
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEgstpasriQ
by at lunchtime to check on you."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJW1D0LvbjS
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAF0lk9vdL39
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAVJLc0fMYVk
"Nothing," said Christine.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAASqMoDebdr
I noticed Mike give 1142Please respect copyright.PENANARl4iY8CXRE
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut1142Please respect copyright.PENANANi3H2FNgxK
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 1142Please respect copyright.PENANATtj1CNLxKr
going on.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAOLjjM1YLhs
"It's just about the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxWNA077L5Q
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAgz2gNSxgCq
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAmsVMsjaAMf
happened."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAsTMiWeHJOP
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdJSwwlVHlk
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAXdd507e6Vz
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAA3k1iakET2
When we arrived at YG, 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4QKPphmWlg
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAM37zFz0zdT
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA14EEBBdnMa
"I already informed the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8BgItYf7J3
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA55Qd2BiTYj
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAggdA0tpRi4
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAs06eMVtB3S
"I know you will. See you later."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAp62nn5Rd3G
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAeA3aV2qjds
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAcNU86ZmQzZ
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.1142Please respect copyright.PENANABMgRuRxlnB
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.1142Please respect copyright.PENANARTkGGkWLVl
"Careful, Zoey," I said 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAmXQtVJxbyn
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAniEeLTVsGw
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAx1vtIRkLWZ
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAMBkuUAFODM
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA5UB6T6vbSj
"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.1142Please respect copyright.PENANATLaBP3SAgv
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ4sAYLvyp
"No," I said as the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAx42Ylvqhkq
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZhsMZ9zhyN
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 1142Please respect copyright.PENANATwQZRqsmnF
studios.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA0sorkv0mtf
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAI9Vo3WQeSX
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAx2MUKpUhCL
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4c1lxEBVtH
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAw7HPgpK18m
"That's different."1142Please respect copyright.PENANABAxshgfDjU
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4JXq19gN2W
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAkM45f6y5x3
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAojmOlfc6VZ
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlCYWwMQ648
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWGaJgzy3H6
It was so much fun 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAsL6EYhQj28
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA5lrs3bczzc
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7NvpRkEnc
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAKQmKILBc5u
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA0lcTFxv1yw
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEWGH0zLaRh
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAnLAbx5afH2
"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."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4mH7Iohuel
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAgN4VFLKrVm
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxD3vSK36c8
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAhNE44cApQL
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAAiY4mogedZ
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAljK8YWRF0j
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAKGiYft7ZIt
"Come on, Zoey," I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAyKbvph1L5s
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 1142Please respect copyright.PENANARUtRHgxN5H
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAR0DGYgYNtl
"What song?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAarpPRQg5cU
I didn't answer when I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZdZOEQk8Yn
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 1142Please respect copyright.PENANApryskW85GT
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAUWenvx6wSi
pill soon started to play.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlrxc4lhajY
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.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAbpzUarAcEb
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAboXBpCpU3O
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA3rWu0e3BqY
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.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZclg3u2Py0
It's been a while since I1142Please respect copyright.PENANASUEW5gRcbI
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAcFojXApvll
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAGp66joelZ7
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAFxfqj8iuhs
At the end of it, the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAfxBzME9CJp
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAnuMg2o6oMH
our moves synchronising with one another.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAp2BeOoKu7r
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAm5QLcnCxRn
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9vgw77THbx
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAiyLfOIOzfn
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAhIGPeh5VBL
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQW6mzIdJYH
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAPO8wW4Plwv
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEs5ixUhxEV
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.1142Please respect copyright.PENANACErGSeAmkV
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAVmHCUWJhxz
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAsWH002Ap3D
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1RXh2AgSn
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAH8bjlqtnt0
Mino and Seunghoon both 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEjGmpoc5Bk
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAhPUaHpsGau
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAd85QzF7A1p
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAHWC4gp56nv
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA2wC3UeGTTf
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAsgkQGGc9ZT
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9aWtq8v7JU
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdhXdvDaDHj
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9q6iKzfKp
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxjqjHgboI6
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.1142Please respect copyright.PENANATRhrldLuGq
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAUAq5Hh52Ot
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAPS79FQcN7U
I nudged my head to the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQME3RihtTw
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJyeaBJJsYM
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the1142Please respect copyright.PENANAavGZzIN9IX
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAuZZfB3kOGg
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4Z3ANhmX2U
Seunghoon lips were 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA96sO0FatAn
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxLnAgL6LV7
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose1142Please respect copyright.PENANAXUlqBEEKZm
focus.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWAmtQ4YrZ1
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAnUV9P8WswH
"The others might, but I1142Please respect copyright.PENANAhGjIrndjJ2
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going1142Please respect copyright.PENANAoKRXUCNgBI
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7l28ELnRhq
when TOP came to pick me up?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANA5Cw69Vuu3U
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAAC3bSFd64l
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAIjopSJ4HOM
He again took a step closer. "Yes."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA09osNHqu9i
Well, that made sense 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3hcdSGc6M
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdZH44pdzCc
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAnIkFxD7GLm
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEpV3SSL6Im
seen.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA40gMmXUbCk
I hadn't realised it 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAtxbtL5PGt5
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking1142Please respect copyright.PENANApuyTC4a4fw
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9mJ1AGDhdN
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAHvoKX0G8Wn
uncomfortable.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8GeHbBmw32
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJxVJCXqhi2
"Well, yes," he 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAhXhPwIBkBj
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAbW1oEYJVL5
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAH1guatGcB6
"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."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEBxXHTzhrm
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAqEDawyaXAp
I blushed and I was a 1142Please respect copyright.PENANASt8W1yOvE9
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAXp4sNbfWMY
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAUZY7e6KwTy
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAsF9R5tjJSh
celebrities.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8FxvA1WKj0
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAI1kEvaTQE1
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJdXI8gow9x
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8GlhMoldAa
"No, they don't," I lied1142Please respect copyright.PENANASY9qTXYZE2
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJdJL1Zkxdf
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8SEr7R4Lgv
others had arrived.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAS3PCAXVlp4
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAuDvAPQf3RK
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAmXohfIUB8a
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAIsP3BV5D3V
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAXLhqYaJMB8
"Awesome," I replied.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAvF9LcKREad
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.1142Please respect copyright.PENANArxhzz0Wyy5
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.1142Please respect copyright.PENANASeh7YCPKNH
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAc89jcboLMA
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAjhWx4bWT7D
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAuN646sZKRB
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA20UBim4apR
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nxmkbcl04
"And besides, you and I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAhNLFgUBeAo
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxP1I7uIyQh
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAjQQ0IRlh1m
and Seunghoon showed up."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAClG6Gu67tG
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAKcGPYiO3GM
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAT3cqe8UCT2
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAG9FEY15NMt
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAFmdewlV4uU
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAvYSSbcEvzz
Apparently, he wasn't 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9xVvYcWfKX
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all1142Please respect copyright.PENANAwhcudfDIwF
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxJJwy3DGkI
just made him look even more adorable.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAiCNNAg74rr
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAwrugnoBW8y
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAKP2GLbw8ev
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.1142Please respect copyright.PENANATMx6wyaRyb
"Yes!" I heard the four 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAppAxY5xcfB
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWrTukFQoLJ
at the track list. Then, something came to me.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAphjO9c7vSb
"Change of plans, Zoey,"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAusVccaTSyG
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want1142Please respect copyright.PENANAw3WBNQYCgn
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWUTkKT0N1N
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAS8A0KpjfDg
"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."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA6SZ89SBeuh
"This just got interesting," said Mino.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAhvLaAXwOn0
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAty4TgZBmoq
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAbOu1f6BLGQ
"Taeyang is going to 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAjKz9Pm2hh3
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 1142Please respect copyright.PENANABNVhBaLl4k
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAGSe6uLMdyl
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA1MQNhfTBKp
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAvbziPAfJ3W
I tapped the track on my1142Please respect copyright.PENANAKBaUE7lhOU
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAUh9itoLCeK
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAF1AXKXd73o
When the song started, I1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdOmSvKaMqe
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWzEgmUyqyF
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAauIeJslrZc
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAkEKqyd49DO
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWZFX46Dx3u
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 1142Please respect copyright.PENANALhJgVlzqQR
doing a pretty good with the moves too.1142Please respect copyright.PENANApDx45mxt04
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9VEELzoxSm
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7brVausPB
"Whenever it came to the1142Please respect copyright.PENANAsgBnWIVCFT
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAUMEpOkMMci
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAz0I11rvfbO
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."1142Please respect copyright.PENANARrd0YvRuQB
"Thanks, guys," I said.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7tLBsPkFp0
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA5ioC3eqDHj
"Now, coming to my 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7w2xb9q2Qm
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAoVj4CwdUCz
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gt7bTl1uO
think is a better dancer?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAqQEXM3Jqi5
"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."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1EpN10Ldo
"Why?" Zoey asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANASWCe6jew7J
"I think you and I both 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxS05nRVog8
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA3qmktk5YPs
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAXvg9Dgt8DR
That counts for something, right?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAMedhPpMsLO
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA2mEioYfCMU
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAgfNfoWn2RK
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAVhpfcyCBm8
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAkR8bjzPLhX
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAyDu2mhqf1m
"Well, ya." Mike 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAMdSW3m7rAc
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAyIDv65aDjB
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 1142Please respect copyright.PENANArEezIGvZG3
sentence as he looked at Zoey.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEnIkpB8DvA
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAwt8zYaAi8u
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAGmY2HAFMiX
"I also think it will be1142Please respect copyright.PENANA97deaURJo4
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxz4G7FBzyY
obviously bring out a better opinion."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlAsN1LAqAF
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAT6uO7jwwuY
"Count me out of it," I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlqUYtblazI
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAt8KAanLjR5
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAwE3Vi0ge5O
"Fine, I'll create a 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAkXJLfLjP9B
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how1142Please respect copyright.PENANAsrdd0BjQyo
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though1142Please respect copyright.PENANAiXbPvC7spE
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAR0wwibTjVy
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAfOjNGdmDu4
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAi5V7mwSJR7
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA0GFKpVJM8l
Zoey and Mike soon got 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAABVhu9L6cn
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAAQB51Qx9RC
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 1142Please respect copyright.PENANArrTs5skcju
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance1142Please respect copyright.PENANAppHYGsG9Sb
battle.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlRyAAlaNna
I got my phone and the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAqxw9w7SQrP
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA2bbaRCtsJ4
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA1IEPd8GnTf
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAbh5I1AonS1
I turned to look at him 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA0qbQYTWJGy
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 1142Please respect copyright.PENANALZ2LvUTiq5
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4RCD9sQ4mM
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAChrubLu1Hn
smile if they were to look at him.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAcVBjNkfxBS
"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."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAYO8HHc4gF2
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAFdo0Vd9BEX
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAKsi2kAzI4C
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQXAibYUqRi
"You're right about that."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAc5JQhxJDdS
I looked behind me with a1142Please respect copyright.PENANATG05GvGgV2
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAbrGPxp5aw7
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAKjgucRMLR3
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZxpOLAArSt
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9zl4TtRMxN
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA77QnR445N4
"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."1142Please respect copyright.PENANARHVsJUpmWE
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAhmiZnXx9Bp
"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."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAoiL1swD1Zg
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."1142Please respect copyright.PENANACAcBu6AMlS
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."1142Please respect copyright.PENANATgioqy8kDL
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA6W1RPkOSAB
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAMdTN3wP240
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAq9LCkaTYLL
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."1142Please respect copyright.PENANALu4t4ettAB
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAXmI8nyqDRg
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAr1N9A9YTTJ
"I sure hope so," I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAHeXWj8TXue
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQomIfo8bOT
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA2ROTtkvTRI
"What about those two?" 1142Please respect copyright.PENANArlC59aZhDw
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQpyYiGcAJJ
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAb3LaciSpbN
soon.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA2OCrRnUT4s
"They will notice when 1142Please respect copyright.PENANADnzUWoRDSs
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAz3A5Regths
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANANxD2EBQwng
"Sure," he said with a smile.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAGjPgSiwvP8
Christine, Daniel and I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANABXUteJvBa4
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAIyyXP0BrBD
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAd1jaYMQNZI
Twenty minutes later, I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWUhv70ao04
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAE2p3uyDXmp
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA29JmL0c0Do
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWsdd90s2Fw
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAHzyJsEcVeF
in the shower room, still patching herself up.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAGXUQloiKB9
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAhrEB7G0sqW
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA2REQccXXZ1
"Why? Anything special?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAu8cMpivVOk
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAGR3TM2txPy
"Oh, nothing," I stared 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAsyPfHpQluN
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7nbnBw7BAV
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA1PNAlA5lxd
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAVDJnt5HNHZ
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA74BrMntcuO
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.1142Please respect copyright.PENANADDssFy160F
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAVRwytNXnx8
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlihKjEV0OE
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAKIEKhS9qSW
"What are you talking about?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAysi66K4ckL
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANANJ6NkszjHf
Christine's mouth fell 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdOD8ifiiUq
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAV4yyqLAS0d
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA6ngRcB6iDF
"No, I don't," she said.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAKF6wpjYirD
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANARRlcoyVIWd
do like him but only as a fan girl."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWcPKPJ1WJr
"Please, I saw the way 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA864KHBpaSQ
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that1142Please respect copyright.PENANALGj0lbIIoR
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA6jzOZQV1y0
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdEKQG3YDSr
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of1142Please respect copyright.PENANApIFaDqRUyO
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWRAF1oYrk7
more."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8e0iTPRPpA
"Ya, right," I said as I1142Please respect copyright.PENANAh5BMmb43Kg
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 1142Please respect copyright.PENANATclUJNOgs4
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAtYinqqtuER
weird look on your face."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAbcVk5RuLct
"What weird look?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAnnZ6GCloKa
"The jealous one."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9TiFhXwGuT
"Spare me the drama, Sam."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAX0gAy8TGyP
"If Zoey was the one 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAhWSnw0BpUw
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4p95I6XsP
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAHVU83MgbiG
Jinwoo."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA0e3kyhQpfH
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAREnCGtCHdJ
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEM7DXpbJc3
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQHUZIaSwtj
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxYzV27rWhr
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4lSGWHBCt
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAcfQPebI5Du
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJs0BUJYJCC
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAO5BjNzdLwO
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAE0wAbsQRQB
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA2xJLCsjDoT
Mike gave Christine a 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAsdQeJYklEe
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZNHOZzdW7e
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't1142Please respect copyright.PENANAs1njiUu275
wrong about that.1142Please respect copyright.PENANApaXyBt3xDw
We decided to go back to1142Please respect copyright.PENANAwIcpZ4Wu8M
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQJsr1WuIYl
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,1142Please respect copyright.PENANAnWfyFjix0X
this happened:1142Please respect copyright.PENANASyHNDIBcTG
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAU9beFsVlbS
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAealRs62yFY
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA45ZqS1uAoj
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWcWYGsksQe
I wanted to frown at him1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdCfAqab96S
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAGq405pP1Ii
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAUMjlaLh5QG
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAnktsCsJQVh
I looked at Jinwoo and I1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEWFkLsc8oB
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 1142Please respect copyright.PENANACbMURCjiZZ
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWKn77XNS4Q
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWCQqcbNEK1
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdHVKvdLIsS
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAnITO5QtiEm
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4ogkm5mJPl
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlDxDBPwBr4
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANATYJHinlN0g
"Good idea. Let's go."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA5dzHa4IDh3
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAF6pkzCKOA9
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA3o1NJNA1UB
Before he could say 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAtV9cRoXSp0
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7D9LkiLzt7
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQGofrnMYdp
out of the room, he was snickering.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAckuJj2O2TB
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAr3zIbMEtxG
"Just because I'm his 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAb2muTLpPUw
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being1142Please respect copyright.PENANASCXEWLLaEx
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAkacHmNR8OF
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAUxWSyWvg09
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAus997seoCF
"Actually, it was only 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdlckYbAksS
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAr5954uhae9
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAuelLdUuaV4
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAwHZCkqIoOr
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA5AW5GQIV70
When we got to the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdWmhOBVm5Z
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAyPZJezMDwP
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAPQba0xaGJg
inside the elevator.1142Please respect copyright.PENANARGcbPzZEKN
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAM6q1lriWrG
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdpD5SQv0z3
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdmJ37aX1GG
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.1142Please respect copyright.PENANANvoMg7S695
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."1142Please respect copyright.PENANARgwURWkW78
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA0UGh2zh47Y
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA1FKKzLPp6R
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA6dTXARuP9q
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8GOchQfMRS
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQg2gW6Otwd
"Well, if you're 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAb5YY1oromJ
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 1142Please respect copyright.PENANATsTnQzioXz
his face and I could tell something was up.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAFUkeuGR5bI
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAB9gAXKNHpx
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAXNaxGb6Qn2
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANA6epxtniKg7
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."1142Please respect copyright.PENANArTGsbJOSiI
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxD8NjnPUL4
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAfuXcMNpfXb
"I came to see you guys 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA25QEx2hM2e
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAVHfCfFEUvH
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAUGNo7JMqy3
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAhFlrDFgdcZ
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAW81yWJ1i6g
"Okay, then you go and 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZrblfwUC8p
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4WDFmLY7G5
to get Zoey as fast as we could."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAXOtOJiE4To
"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.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAFmjnnIVJs4
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA3oy3pUtmMD
We headed downstairs to 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAFbC6JmeQn0
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9t5Yln2BZA
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAvJozpOHNc1
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAaUvNVGupih
"Trying to look good," 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA6ciXbxFYFq
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA2bGC8Nvtzc
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAtDExgpx3FB
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAzwtNLskfpW
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAPuZxBFveem
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAnkdZAIeviI
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAPxwOp98zyj
"You're kidding, right?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAfOlHBZlZ6r
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdWWmcbE3tC
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAyuMEndD9P9
"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."1142Please respect copyright.PENANANhmoCSO9De
Just as I turned around 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAzfV7RXeIUY
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7VcwCQC2jC
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAelW7INSAEP
the the floor we were on.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAc242jN9edX
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAiOrSTqFNSy
Just as we turned round a1142Please respect copyright.PENANAOXytPBjbIV
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAaT12Pf0BLb
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAMWxve2izcj
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAO3NTJD81rf
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.1142Please respect copyright.PENANARwkMugP1qC
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANATErFdPI8DB
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxrwrho2lyX
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANA5fNnSxURor
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8xO24YgHEa
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAPmbZGbE1bb
I didn't say anything as1142Please respect copyright.PENANAcDmOBnWjRD
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdagzHjNuzE
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAeDRtSc2zcu
Hyun-suk's voice.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAB9cF7RjSRq
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.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAo8g9St8LRz
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.1142Please respect copyright.PENANANv6mweqb7K
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8OdIWBsugY
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAtOL15Cx9yd
I checked around with my1142Please respect copyright.PENANAYVe5iSLDI0
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZY8X96c1W3
the light went on in the tiny room.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdeyaXITf81
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA2EWdE5hKM7
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAscVz33HktZ
I shook my head. "They are still there."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQynVgVEJQu
Mino and Zoey both 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA1HZw07sauf
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAwwg6VK3b8Q
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAqFOJGVsGWX
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAznkkJoiZ8h
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 1142Please respect copyright.PENANArzjSKVLHe3
behind me.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ8agdUFuD
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAAOxwuntDUq
"I think they are gone," I whispered.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8MRsIiJ24B
"Try and check," Mino whispered.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWDzfEPdhRS
I took hold of the door 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAYHp9NhJkvD
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 1142Please respect copyright.PENANABpavaAMNnS
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of1142Please respect copyright.PENANAtwrRhywEgB
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQnL39dMQTs
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA0gg1NB4bEc
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAyyQ73VYl6w
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAIqtG7ckcgR
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA2XMbd7Xezz
The three of us were 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vn6lW8iuU
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAY4IQ1zizxZ
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was1142Please respect copyright.PENANAexSJLDB2dx
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAwrKqxxYXuk
heard the phone ring.1142Please respect copyright.PENANABu33qhowDx
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAsAW7Dqgkrc
I quickly took the bag 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAFI6GVRcaSi
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAUyaRAGN5bU
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA2LmTshXQsf
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8HrLChVEEJ
anything strange."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAGUDktbr7BC
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAvlamlSXYlu
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA3xKT7lTjQG
Mino and Zoey quickly 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAL7BUKBijYO
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 1142Please respect copyright.PENANArL4eG79SHU
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAbr6thlRNyI
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAqNQTcIzL78
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9jO3bguOlJ
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJOFZfwpiwR
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAiJkcGleL75
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAbrzjSrQEmx
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."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAyDhDMbbfs7
I gave them a little 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4RBU5C55k0
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8gPfjVk0DM
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAMRNEPyePEw
the place.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAmgyQfzkWnE
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4iqyCh8bV
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAL4UG5nXhLn
"I must say, I watched 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAB6nO5gVDUi
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ4d12PpPI
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 1142Please respect copyright.PENANApPI1BdnQXH
black suit.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAg1Jio4b8GT
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAqYkoBdjZNZ
"You really do have good manners," said other man.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAm831ToNcJQ
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAISrBKc17dG
"I always do my best," I said politely.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA5V2QYpI2mM
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAkJqJV2DuEt
I felt my eyes were 1142Please respect copyright.PENANArrauZwMW2G
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 1142Please respect copyright.PENANATgkYLV8UYB
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAXYpRe26ED1
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 1142Please respect copyright.PENANACzxMGtYKZm
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.1142Please respect copyright.PENANArAzESywCYG
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8fqGe3HRaK
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJN1sMKnini
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4EcHKBP7zH
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8SbwSIGZGo
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAu7S0pEMCur
"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."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZme5UiF5LB
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAC4lhRbjmDE
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAHN65oO1FSx
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAMbBmgnXlR6
I smiled as I bowed my 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAnDn2DlKkkn
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ5bGrl6N3
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAvNJzcRQlJG
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I1142Please respect copyright.PENANAYHR2gqLQ1y
was until now.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAp68W6S12v1
I quickly ran to the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANARXzFpgPwkm
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAXcSZqBBrit
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAYKTvmdnR7Z
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA35SB7YYMl0
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA3rQboTve9Y
see.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8MPL871x5w
"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.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7aeSwuiAnD
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAXSN5IinvJU
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4txSHZvwG9
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAeVdLL99wSa
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAA4aK4nCge9
"Because I missed you."1142Please respect copyright.PENANACToPrNnOrD
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAZalFRma4SR
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAkfxXDEQxZD
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAB0bjuwtcs5
When we reached the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA5a6z1VSlUt
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxdFKrSP1gj
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAGV9F7x5CTI
lobby.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAaBKyF3fpnX
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJtWFxt2jhc
"I think I've an idea," I1142Please respect copyright.PENANAec7zqpPXys
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going1142Please respect copyright.PENANABQhChTVGIS
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAmrsu2I68hz
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlvsF1zTuOO
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.1142Please respect copyright.PENANADTQahRuG4U
I rolled my eyes. I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAPJU4vB7J5O
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself1142Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ382zshrq
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAz0oLS6MdPK
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8CQtEtHofM
"Because I'm smart 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7odsiewkJ9
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such1142Please respect copyright.PENANAqbcjhYmJbQ
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAS96cm2NOrC
Mino and TOP smiled at 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAe5ZFQiJks8
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAmbywzLMIT8
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAcDsgoFwAYQ
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7JJw4cSGGP
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAG7JQnXsWg7
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJ59nok6JBl
"If we don't take the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANABs3TVesX3k

raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEkQS3fvRaB
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAmeVH89v3Kw
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAAB63mJ7Wqt
"You guys go right now 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAR8QNAd8xdV
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANASN4QFLEsUn
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAj8XEXieaZp
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAUYqNqTQWcb
"Because I need you around."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAboSprZ4MZB
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAYNSQTJgAtM
Seungyoon and his group 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA8PvJ5XGzJS
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAV5SjDr2fts
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA7MlDiALBTA
for ten minutes.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAJHxzPOfMC9
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANABgJOGOrSCo
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAzolxXiKXIe
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAyTgpKttiRx
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAi6hUbldopg
"So if you guys are 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAgKin2rjQ8k
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7OQCPbhWW
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAn65LRwfi5g
"Why do you ask?" I asked.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9b1rBX7qEj
"You guys can't just 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAuQo2FrJW9o
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAU1NEoMkXc5
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAdydxpDYmnQ
managers will find out what's going on."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAqdSayrk134
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.1142Please respect copyright.PENANA1qfYtLMF19
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.1142Please respect copyright.PENANALCAaimiZDV
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAyHTLB2Yx0L
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEobTdi6hbP
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAilPEQdyjfA
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAl27PMDLbhz
The others quickly 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAkvzEwZx5dO
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAPrutEr54ic
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAFYa67rQhZf
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAEWpDW78nn1
worried that they might have hit their heads.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlEjWOrkVvh
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxsMLma5Gmr
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."1142Please respect copyright.PENANA32ogho4rCz
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAhXLK7wVEnp
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAttA1aXG3lD
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAidqRKESRhU
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"1142Please respect copyright.PENANAVy71H6NA5T
As soon as I turned 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAXPecRouRJH
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the1142Please respect copyright.PENANAoUylHepaNx
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAbLQpaATX1g
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 1142Please respect copyright.PENANApW9KLS231P
behind me paused ready for the worst.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAx5GThpFZKi
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAxoGFH6V7tk
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."1142Please respect copyright.PENANAsDfwINxDmb
"Well, this day just got1142Please respect copyright.PENANAWvDeR9kYJz
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about1142Please respect copyright.PENANA9WNN5DhkhJ
it. I couldn't blame him for that.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAh2Uj2xZn5W
Coming out of the 1142Please respect copyright.PENANA4sNkl5x6IT
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAlwvzV5OvzT
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAgmDJ2fPDZv
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAqKiqA4A0fK
I felt like I had stood 1142Please respect copyright.PENANAv1tjWJLDmT
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged1142Please respect copyright.PENANArHhxWW4qAl
me on the shoulder to get my attention.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAbslZCjf6cl
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.1142Please respect copyright.PENANArpu8vtuouN
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.1142Please respect copyright.PENANAuBa7sDbYxG
