Meeting WINNER the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAsM11pOfs5n
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 1059Please respect copyright.PENANARCC1eniJTo
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7HJPJ0zNql
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8wiR3qgjlJ
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5dPKiGC7Q9
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8C0mIQsuUA
With the little time we 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgkQBDDiWL0
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKbadvjwUrG
as we all got to know each other.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6t0RuG7xrK
Seungyoon, the leader 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMECBaJY9mC
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxpOWRSzdc1
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a1059Please respect copyright.PENANAmTLStV3CII
fun and nice person to be around with.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAIzYf8cKefR
Then there is Mino, who 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKFNPaM9jsB
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYj6Bp1UKxK
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAH9hfvtJ5q1
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA0ox5HV5f5o
As for Jinwoo and 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzL24Y4LDvC
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAGAIa79RreY
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAtjYanhBDeX
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMIZ5ff08t5
in Korea.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAX6K6dVm1C6
As for Seunghoon, I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZWD4DS4IJI
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking1059Please respect copyright.PENANACNaZa8UI19
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXXH9us04c7
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA0yGCsqMxCs
Before they left, we 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhWL9xp8pBG
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAfISwloiLWi
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAJShFGxeGHo
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAV9VfUUbVIV
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done1059Please respect copyright.PENANAbJm84pGMKS
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQkEU05c3tK
place?1059Please respect copyright.PENANAsj1JCKpiFo
I already had that part 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAeLSZwBW9mu
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 1059Please respect copyright.PENANADHmWoder72
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5BzKDLshyU
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAH5WRinTJyh
wouldn't have to break a sweat.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAkJwM33I401
Right now, this very 1059Please respect copyright.PENANABZhGXtcUgP
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAu33XRfcUXQ
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAf69TwuLyPd
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee1059Please respect copyright.PENANA9BJUHmJHln
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1j1HA0F1qQ
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAoGFzM9lshi
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.1059Please respect copyright.PENANACP96Bm7swG
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAniZvcKcKPM
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxMxqv8NXXT
"I'm tired of sleeping,"1059Please respect copyright.PENANArs8dze6q1C
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7LzuRTgZ3X
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvVAyj4znp5
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhqZAZCpJAO
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAOBchFpkVlO
"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."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAaT3PKhbWzb
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMvuZ3L07gp
"You know, going for 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAGbSYQ4GXFR
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAk1akReTAyq
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 1059Please respect copyright.PENANADwoey3qMkC
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAI0sCUent4X
we try to do what we're familiar with."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAieTRAbr4ac
"Mmmm, I guess you're 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAadrdiPhATM
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAnXMyUmwUQ2
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgz3vfmE65d
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAIWXebgBOKE
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAINZSAhtcwn
"Yep," Collins nodded 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA4CpIRSsrdc
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7BMgGzwAr1
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMWQcHlcI0q
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAmYKjS8EwCl
good now, will it?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANA79guetYrY7
Wow. This was literally 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAO3TH1Pv3y2
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAachuwRu89R
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKofY5AZTXk
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1FMVg3SFIx
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.1059Please respect copyright.PENANApLvPILYiHM
I left the lounge at a 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYR7vOMbDA8
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA3BXNuyg8ZB
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door1059Please respect copyright.PENANAyAWJKDbTRE
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAODnfgBvdwv
Zoey sat up with a start1059Please respect copyright.PENANAtxOObJC2Xv
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAyY5y61OlWR
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAac1xnSZUyd
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKcvj835zHE
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAoSRtB0z2sV
At first she didn't say a1059Please respect copyright.PENANAI4l7rv4izb
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAaDU2FFCZmc
looking at me with her eyes wide open.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAIsxKgmQxCK
"What did you say?" she asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAfUy49owOig
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXqvlrGm25I
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1Tcif1PDAH
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAubcKHPeaZF
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAdArrSVhR20
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxE6mnXDD82
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFjGMeiqKlm
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgDtxhIrqR6
I went to wake up 1059Please respect copyright.PENANATgxpiqsSYV
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZjMDBJkaT
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAp8RtG0NxK8
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQu4S9wnmR3
"I gave a reasonable 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAGSfSX3RPOu
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhHTfDUef0h
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAK0YeRycf4G
I noticed Christine 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAID5vgxLuiT
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly1059Please respect copyright.PENANAbjI73wmXTa
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 1059Please respect copyright.PENANASFyc9Lvnqq
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAoAGEg6J9WJ
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAUG6fsp1OSW
When we all had our bags1059Please respect copyright.PENANAF5iGKo9nQP
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVAbYnwjfF3
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAuJbPAShTIG
looked at us.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAv1eWb6Wb09
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAM6EdBXB2ve
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAfVwQ4QpYxe
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAnxzuuPDjOg
"I hate when you use my 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAnlmwFZFTpd
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA9re0nO5suw
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."1059Please respect copyright.PENANATEAQvzQUzG
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgCEX9XOr4Y
Collins rolled his eyes 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAyleVl3n0tZ
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ap6tlx5AD
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA582pvKv0TQ
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAqw7idKKyfU
"I would really love to,1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFDYgdwdxrX
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXmTMNNSuwP
by at lunchtime to check on you."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAjzJnRZRvCY
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzIsToMV3Gx
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA9FCvAy9B1S
"Nothing," said Christine.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAGsnU8F98oa
I noticed Mike give 1059Please respect copyright.PENANALpuTmnwHKz
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut1059Please respect copyright.PENANALhE6tUFXkR
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAnXSrj5tXAM
going on.1059Please respect copyright.PENANALfgHT2VwPS
"It's just about the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAqwUf5yMjJR
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAuCB4wVqlc7
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAPx3oHWQgJ6
happened."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAcc4WL4O7Hv
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."1059Please respect copyright.PENANASZaE7xmuhX
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVUJW2iiUy6
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA79YMoxWnW0
When we arrived at YG, 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAWf8HCGhFwm
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYJu6ClpLSC
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAtvEtCY0i8L
"I already informed the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAHLIWCdX25H
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5E1TvfHTlN
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANA3VQe9mV6hL
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAj7GBDX8UQ2
"I know you will. See you later."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA2VZz2jyIXQ
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2aBEdDQuU
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxx42ddKfNJ
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAnj9dPKZJ2S
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.1059Please respect copyright.PENANARbQgqEslK1
"Careful, Zoey," I said 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZznTTno8KJ
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAyAgarDvlQk
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZqKy4eMRIn
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAGSdYdlw29R
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvlVfOknSJN
"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.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAre53KkVorf
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMV3zezQ0Vw
"No," I said as the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANArvdxbxkTVh
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAcTXx6xQciB
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAkPuHXe26YD
studios.1059Please respect copyright.PENANANoyy7k6wy0
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5KEqpNNFpO
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAEw3w0NGvdU
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAdNFbmY4mCD
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ct4eOzgdN
"That's different."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKLW4lmqrNd
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVwbfF3J7XK
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxpccKcWVPK
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZFGy2G9Jhm
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAe29P2WuvCT
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxZftvXr40u
It was so much fun 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA05JJpyWOAf
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAakkalkmwyw
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 1059Please respect copyright.PENANANWNMQ7aghE
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.1059Please respect copyright.PENANApJt4aPh2Xo
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.1059Please respect copyright.PENANATnTyVR5lJm
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzspeWgEOMF
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6vMuPY0YQI
"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."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxHaOo7eThX
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMIhxJgg6bv
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAw42SsYflqP
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.1059Please respect copyright.PENANABck4Jj1il1
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAa3hHj8DpSS
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAC6hbXMYG3s
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAI6MVHgX48o
"Come on, Zoey," I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAW26m6YmdlP
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAsUE0Lyj25e
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYefJVIJ0zT
"What song?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhmrQPhSBzC
I didn't answer when I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAp0mXf2mluM
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 1059Please respect copyright.PENANABx4zU4plMK
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAIXisQoHmLz
pill soon started to play.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzFrCoVc4RZ
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.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8awzhPqogQ
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8URj68ikv0
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA89GydB0XDb
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.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAu5cb04d5bW
It's been a while since I1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXUeMVOiqUx
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMYLpfzgUwQ
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAviHHlSu7VW
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA4OTzJFUnTQ
At the end of it, the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAjbgcIjXAch
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAwuHTmOs1fV
our moves synchronising with one another.1059Please respect copyright.PENANASOSwDe2NjP
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1VppgEI1K4
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6jxoNF2s3I
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1hBhBTB6nx
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAP6JTj0hABm
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAw1mYrV1Bpx
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."1059Please respect copyright.PENANACrKzP868l5
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAacyoRvhZK0
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAolt9fdkPeE
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAqjZQSY2dfv
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANALwXONikGrc
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAh9yD25OS92
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxBlFKrb9Gf
Mino and Seunghoon both 1059Please respect copyright.PENANASwlFxmAhaT
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6onqPmMdpc
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA05kBxihfa7
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.1059Please respect copyright.PENANABgIXANxNGo
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAthYvUS0O0A
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."1059Please respect copyright.PENANABytIMZlN5X
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.1059Please respect copyright.PENANADQU3G0qUVU
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAGQrlrgXtWt
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5BvrK8VsYI
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFhITfvXOcd
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.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAlNX0sXxtNt
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAtq5SCReKEw
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANACs2vofMpJc
I nudged my head to the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvLOh0KRxOA
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAOb0hkYn8yy
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the1059Please respect copyright.PENANAF22et6ap3n
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA88n4IIlsgg
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQm3eABdkzJ
Seunghoon lips were 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA4CAm1XZSXg
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was1059Please respect copyright.PENANAEGGitW6Gvh
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose1059Please respect copyright.PENANADJgmi6bvgq
focus.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA0RcrkJNeAB
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ4QAUm38l
"The others might, but I1059Please respect copyright.PENANAsNtHtbManT
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8sJqZMchsU
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAOM7vW6oZat
when TOP came to pick me up?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAJMAiSoD96Q
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzYHKA25HX6
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAJysxG0nJXp
He again took a step closer. "Yes."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8XmgbdnWI0
Well, that made sense 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAA8E4PIomOw
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAp60lF10nHi
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAwukvGeYYx7
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAOflUuhaSui
seen.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXoQPHbTdyf
I hadn't realised it 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAqB3uf2uKzY
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking1059Please respect copyright.PENANAc7Xe0GCCY3
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAF3MnVMGtqD
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAf7F8mRq1Ks
uncomfortable.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA3L8elHYPVq
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAEwp1FwMSwx
"Well, yes," he 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6NC0zo02O7
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFFKSfqzpdf
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."1059Please respect copyright.PENANADm4GIqOZHW
"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."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAUPdUijWPHb
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAjYhC8bATr2
I blushed and I was a 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1jlX8DIVb1
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYTUcxQUtWp
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 1059Please respect copyright.PENANACos3eef6DH
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYvw7gV6oTp
celebrities.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYES06Q52NR
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAnsn6g7FdV9
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvmN5L3sj7u
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA98whSZeKJ1
"No, they don't," I lied1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVA1YDp3CiB
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 1059Please respect copyright.PENANASgLPTDphB9
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8YRFVqkHNL
others had arrived.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgUflgpna3X
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.1059Please respect copyright.PENANArWnoKBTLAq
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA99DxLW47rM
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAoj7kt55ggz
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANA4YCxc4Ckw8
"Awesome," I replied.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAPmMxANchos
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAERPAdGyQF3
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAEHWkyDs9CC
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAkLI0dizm6S
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAWu9Cw06u9z
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAUUDLTUt9VC
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAD1uPb0Gjqn
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXr6ALeveNx
"And besides, you and I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAO5gMKKfKNP
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzVh1pEOsWA
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAjawacDNeqd
and Seunghoon showed up."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1ju98eUyPj
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5nQEj2RUHI
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhBWervBo0C
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAmqLFaAHN7K
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7BI27bI4ze
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXSHDtFampN
Apparently, he wasn't 1059Please respect copyright.PENANASwTjj46GbM
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFClQOAp1L7
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that1059Please respect copyright.PENANA0W9IDPsuZO
just made him look even more adorable.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAfzPCE93G1q
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAEhAtn7LVU1
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA25idND1C7y
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAiYnPgTFSNx
"Yes!" I heard the four 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAjw8AAVuyk1
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXBnovk6JYg
at the track list. Then, something came to me.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAoBiKsEe4E9
"Change of plans, Zoey,"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAkZDp5sk65G
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want1059Please respect copyright.PENANAf8KKmm6vBe
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6jYouQiAsI
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA536RKIysYG
"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."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAK5smKqsj03
"This just got interesting," said Mino.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKbXTavxtoc
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAATb4hLSFmN
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvJwSOg53lB
"Taeyang is going to 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAkbLDySgKXr
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgiFwuaEv00
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAUCtSaO0Rtk
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAa1CoPzaB5A
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAcunKlme9GZ
I tapped the track on my1059Please respect copyright.PENANAO7vcbmloUJ
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAfa00s6nziT
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6B7Q95MVds
When the song started, I1059Please respect copyright.PENANAe5NgCBZt3E
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 1059Please respect copyright.PENANALfCRvDJAk5
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzZDoj6PMy1
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANASJwuVZQyG9
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to1059Please respect copyright.PENANAeYnkpI7t3n
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzttK7SVaAp
doing a pretty good with the moves too.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6xPzcBc9Ra
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAW5CVlvWK0M
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAIwp19g7cJX
"Whenever it came to the1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgOQ93TR9Nx
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAu8W13xWnoT
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAoLvw4u6PZe
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAetoyDwSL6A
"Thanks, guys," I said.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA3fqkWYBIRX
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAoL982SyVWf
"Now, coming to my 1059Please respect copyright.PENANACvsKoGOHnU
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAjCYPkiepqi
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAw58O8gyxpN
think is a better dancer?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6fqcPbbiYh
"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."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMSXzZ44Ykt
"Why?" Zoey asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxH1YPVIm9I
"I think you and I both 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA9Bmks8kG0F
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA0UHrAHJYpf
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAc1OQHzGlPG
That counts for something, right?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAuRyazamVpu
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvctbVsvziJ
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAuO28Wr0Gyn
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAEB0J98e8Vm
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANA123aKLz1Pr
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAEjxw6U3kwS
"Well, ya." Mike 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFLUv5N8rMd
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAno1hsblFXw
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6MhIKFZ21B
sentence as he looked at Zoey.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAwgPJeJpq60
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAcKnL5wbeCC
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA48Z73joolX
"I also think it will be1059Please respect copyright.PENANAlWyAF2smbS
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6upgNSfgBy
obviously bring out a better opinion."1059Please respect copyright.PENANATev3WgPYZy
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAPRlQSnWpgw
"Count me out of it," I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAdJHYEQYMl0
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVE32mPLmWZ
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvLzCM9PQCd
"Fine, I'll create a 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAoHVcpYO63F
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how1059Please respect copyright.PENANApp0AAcYyw6
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though1059Please respect copyright.PENANAcS1ts1LRJp
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAOVqTNWj0fX
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAcSoAuGzxPc
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAqGWwvVo8x3
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAtZxDHDsUUx
Zoey and Mike soon got 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKydykGhrei
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAnAI8rJhYQ8
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAybsh8COskI
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance1059Please respect copyright.PENANAAVTgmhQnEc
battle.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7sEU2lUQyD
I got my phone and the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAef8h8ljSiZ
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA3w36nj870x
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA0ybJQxm1yr
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAcunavhXptq
I turned to look at him 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXSbspN4Qdl
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXx1I8g4dSx
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAu6Qp2Xv0cu
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAa0cFOBLUtF
smile if they were to look at him.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVsu1sIXqR7
"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."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAv4Q9N1b9Jv
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1G8D9a3LrN
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."1059Please respect copyright.PENANASayZYAh5Si
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAHfo0zZGhwA
"You're right about that."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAsF4HZLhv7a
I looked behind me with a1059Please respect copyright.PENANAuDxsteKZuS
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhQlYdDpNsI
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMs9BFbNZzo
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 1059Please respect copyright.PENANABk43HizZ1D
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgbsaZypbBI
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA4DVptMmVEJ
"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."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAR51xswUZzZ
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvnLmMLQONQ
"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."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1lIHQ8CmnT
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."1059Please respect copyright.PENANABuxqqXBVfb
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAyq7S7vslHx
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA3Umg3byQDF
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKfWxKt6FWR
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAdTbWY4FEFE
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA65XAPrAouN
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAl294n8m75F
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5rM6eTzMVu
"I sure hope so," I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA33OllREBfu
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAGa3eywaTDB
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAISL3rwbb9T
"What about those two?" 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6o1CVmdO1x
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAGL6TAfQF63
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA87umVuOd7O
soon.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAa6kySpc9hK
"They will notice when 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAL7HWXHxz9P
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 1059Please respect copyright.PENANApaC13DVoe3
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ0nokdbd7
"Sure," he said with a smile.1059Please respect copyright.PENANApTkccoJhmh
Christine, Daniel and I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAHW9G8EMEn3
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6dFUqV3DO
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.1059Please respect copyright.PENANArEgN8j0Esx
Twenty minutes later, I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAAt8HwBM01C
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhKZX3CLhOt
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFuttIkohIS
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAjfLGrsrOZl
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzo62hNvz8D
in the shower room, still patching herself up.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAITaHZ22Irh
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMJLYFelFe5
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAuyZUY9YDOR
"Why? Anything special?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKNlCfdYbGa
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1059Please respect copyright.PENANABabB98N2Xh
"Oh, nothing," I stared 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAWTBzOThhWV
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhrNDlFQ68s
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYdJB8BGyIM
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA9dAKIEZskM
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAt953hgVPPW
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZPotwEeJaS
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAtK13ohno8g
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAyCriit7UyO
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvboaYIdyDE
"What are you talking about?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXvTZ7gFn4W
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAUPycxbQnDH
Christine's mouth fell 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAwD5RRLQVLs
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAywztZHXOOO
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXnJ0mvrUWa
"No, I don't," she said.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAqOJghrLSp5
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANASe8ruZFKaj
do like him but only as a fan girl."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6SVPGkYEj
"Please, I saw the way 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAiVMILagcoM
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhhktOPbaM8
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQh5APvg8T5
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA42qcSGUkZY
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8OrVSD6SUN
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAP69hT279wQ
more."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAPlFeAGL2tt
"Ya, right," I said as I1059Please respect copyright.PENANACjb6SbW9Ba
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAnDWr7pMmsi
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAmoCB5Wtb7r
weird look on your face."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAswEiZFcwPT
"What weird look?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQmqjvnp7Ih
"The jealous one."1059Please respect copyright.PENANApNwdvyBxxJ
"Spare me the drama, Sam."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzNQEKjFFwX
"If Zoey was the one 1059Please respect copyright.PENANARlqp1hovlR
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ3BsDeaO3
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAMAR8HO24D9
Jinwoo."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAg3M4hdqHMo
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzbya7ym8GE
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQOwzNrul5o
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAlBItlANxk9
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA4MBFxNhHpF
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAsIYZYBQVOO
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAIGl14n5XdH
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAcqvvFkSLYQ
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA2YjzAn8nqb
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKs5UL9B75K
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA37eDLRUGxp
Mike gave Christine a 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKRQXS7T2HP
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 1059Please respect copyright.PENANADKIAlkWlJB
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't1059Please respect copyright.PENANAC4vxeiQmzr
wrong about that.1059Please respect copyright.PENANATaNUw7pDgL
We decided to go back to1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzq85w5aR8f
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAHE8vw7WKMn
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,1059Please respect copyright.PENANAPcL3oaruF0
this happened:1059Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ6hvn2wFM
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAWO3BQOS1bd
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAEkToKYqJ7o
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAdgYuY6wlZj
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAv9sAYFdTRV
I wanted to frown at him1059Please respect copyright.PENANAqM9LKrchES
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1xGXeG0Lay
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.1059Please respect copyright.PENANADSsvbQuNMD
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAojPHv8kiuN
I looked at Jinwoo and I1059Please respect copyright.PENANAIkQQbVNoMh
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAnaQOODkgKr
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZACbnzrIFY
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAacZGIukIop
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAHti8fcw7DP
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAPzlQIMMmbQ
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAy49QeAtQCa
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."1059Please respect copyright.PENANATewOdVrnRA
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAOLWqhFuSTQ
"Good idea. Let's go."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQErAboz1jt
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAm2zPP1qGdr
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZU6J7BSO7
Before he could say 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAStjeDh1IaV
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I1059Please respect copyright.PENANALWcFNcSSjJ
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5u9m1VYbkX
out of the room, he was snickering.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQRtTDQYMv7
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAGuxLWi9s3S
"Just because I'm his 1059Please respect copyright.PENANArRa0as9Cgv
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being1059Please respect copyright.PENANAutqAaV2s3k
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAr4r5sHFplQ
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA84ezy16XHM
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7p47wC2xPd
"Actually, it was only 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAwIyXuDqz4w
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAbzENCHJcRP
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvEx1pIVDVC
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6zYJOB9BKB
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAyuGxugROzI
When we got to the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1pQj9gwBXi
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ8unnAdqN
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAW9ALrlOKLF
inside the elevator.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA9B2sqA6Uo2
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.1059Please respect copyright.PENANALqmSALMuoB
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYkCCI5qqA4
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1HdlP2mZKV
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.1059Please respect copyright.PENANATdn4uGHgey
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8zOsQSFYhs
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA4dQ9q49OGk
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAOidXwPzKt4
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAUawphYroBA
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5Nf6sHGIh1
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAJZC1bzgxLh
"Well, if you're 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA542NzdNy2M
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAou3a3SR5YE
his face and I could tell something was up.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYu972bkEYk
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANA093unCwLLR
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAIWW6HY3DkS
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANATFB3gg6Xcj
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhhgHjXDhOh
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1can1LE4iy
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYFBjV04Jz5
"I came to see you guys 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKwY9e8jbmR
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAOvXv99BFAN
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."1059Please respect copyright.PENANApjWK5YLdb1
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZr2LPOTCz9
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7mkgBeSHRA
"Okay, then you go and 1059Please respect copyright.PENANACy5pSBbznA
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxQK5MC5phX
to get Zoey as fast as we could."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvxlvGijJc3
"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.1059Please respect copyright.PENANADykZDaDqSC
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAwiHFG6H2J2
We headed downstairs to 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAnLMCj5mUXR
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAykqL1Es9iT
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6WgWKz7XPb
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1Dil4Ed407
"Trying to look good," 1059Please respect copyright.PENANACjvck5laE9
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAM2ZzBGHZpG
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAGmw0XVRA23
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhV6KHEQvco
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAt7JHiFspXW
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA9Eqdu0Cazc
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAum7sMsBBg2
"You're kidding, right?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAI0MZXxYzRQ
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAeoSezb58yZ
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAcn8GyOPNzi
"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."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAe4V4Wnb5wA
Just as I turned around 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAWtu01DVIQQ
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA3gSMeHV1CO
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAWZBaJPOFc2
the the floor we were on.1059Please respect copyright.PENANARITMkbNKie
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAuasdjxhx0K
Just as we turned round a1059Please respect copyright.PENANAilliz31GeL
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAHcgnMY8Th4
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAamhvITKSOQ
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA24AhM7Rmot
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAuwUxN0n0Y5
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXvmFxAx3KN
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAE3IW4qncgf
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAsdqh804N6z
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAlvwdgfntaM
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAuMFvfUFaY4
I didn't say anything as1059Please respect copyright.PENANAWHgax4u4Rd
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQJkZpNrYfx
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAAl6UKG3Tiy
Hyun-suk's voice.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAuzxAswwv5n
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.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAOMyOW4DQwx
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.1059Please respect copyright.PENANATSxRFcqqMM
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAaMooYtQfYH
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAk1E69rYiTA
I checked around with my1059Please respect copyright.PENANAH7lsPWNwhs
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7OevgYy5fg
the light went on in the tiny room.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA3aCbh33Xwy
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAjRCd7K7ncs
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAbImXmq96cM
I shook my head. "They are still there."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA2BK8I83qCD
Mino and Zoey both 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAmOgWeuXmJI
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAKObLQbau41
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAsn8KOam9fj
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2wFb8NUfj
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzR5VH7x4z8
behind me.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5w905Pk6zg
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAM1Fjx4SLlU
"I think they are gone," I whispered.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAX10iESCOpH
"Try and check," Mino whispered.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAr89TMjcGDX
I took hold of the door 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAL8ZxmDCfdV
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxySDDkAOMa
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQz8jlOwbbs
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA0mVWNXE2tc
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA3Msz6nX7XQ
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA11J86VyXpZ
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzW9aqFDDFP
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.1059Please respect copyright.PENANArU1tNvYxP2
The three of us were 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAAVcoIlT4HQ
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAPCm3aCPowE
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was1059Please respect copyright.PENANAE4ZlFVf7ri
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAoZdWZoUCSA
heard the phone ring.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZSG0iLie9H
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAnBA0AgIQoA
I quickly took the bag 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAbrEABz8veT
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZonZ7JTva9
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAttNnWrzOhU
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAa9fiDvvr8j
anything strange."1059Please respect copyright.PENANArO6Tbtntay
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAptmVIEOKfw
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAWuOQTIYB8P
Mino and Zoey quickly 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAetnnVAklKB
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAJqbuR4GC0J
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzeEOyGYJLm
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAoc3nPwRXbl
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA0iIv83m7Hf
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVLg12NH5Or
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."1059Please respect copyright.PENANABzM6pIcVne
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5nPCSSg8yK
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."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8I5O0QuG76
I gave them a little 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5ek663xECJ
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYv7PBwLkxR
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAshhGA0VsQs
the place.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVI9vJnGE2O
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgFgy31p3Ll
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAiHDD2kMVnw
"I must say, I watched 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5mw4odyj7D
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 1059Please respect copyright.PENANABhxgBbOalh
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAdgTvZsKssD
black suit.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAdcvk6grtyY
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAZGkLls5P1S
"You really do have good manners," said other man.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQIKYdQtrUl
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6UmGxgtGbJ
"I always do my best," I said politely.1059Please respect copyright.PENANADvzuDpYub4
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8VhlN36lMs
I felt my eyes were 1059Please respect copyright.PENANASVItq96Wc1
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 1059Please respect copyright.PENANARfQXAYzgyS
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQdSVu1YYFz
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAE9NmpdVSIs
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.1059Please respect copyright.PENANArB4yzR05it
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAHvikY1tYmi
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me1059Please respect copyright.PENANASBEvaCXIrK
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAAGvGOpD4GZ
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAeQfRjWVziN
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAm6ND6dIHmB
"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."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVfTTG5tWB3
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAmRWqtUcJU9
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.1059Please respect copyright.PENANApqnKDwcukS
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAjvQZsW34hv
I smiled as I bowed my 1059Please respect copyright.PENANArjzSsnwAMD
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAIB0P4xatAk
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 1059Please respect copyright.PENANApLq4s73Qx0
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I1059Please respect copyright.PENANAm82xAhcNOh
was until now.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAHrgKPpMTfO
I quickly ran to the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA9VNjSDWo6u
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAUKgCqftHAc
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 1059Please respect copyright.PENANApTL59HACKi
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAjwLZTcSbgr
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 1059Please respect copyright.PENANABYizqkSavL
see.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYqoYkLAxdv
"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.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAEctaQ3Le3K
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgl8po73Q9y
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1EvwyZ1NiL
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAGgsZS86vVm
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAwG2fgQRfwY
"Because I missed you."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQMteMdNbB7
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAc3vFTnjrpR
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAm5poypqmXp
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAlc9Mn3oj4J
When we reached the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAsDpHfCtEH3
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAo0AhUok64T
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANASPla45xdiJ
lobby.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6C2wLKBstw
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAI6uHgfxVwD
"I think I've an idea," I1059Please respect copyright.PENANASS4T0fDRtt
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQd25HtdS5w
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAeXWwrsNRmJ
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."1059Please respect copyright.PENANA6lodWfJLCy
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.1059Please respect copyright.PENANASQM9HOdQOV
I rolled my eyes. I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvD7bdsKU6V
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself1059Please respect copyright.PENANARmDdxPoGcb
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAmyWGcjo9nw
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA5zDlce4mnH
"Because I'm smart 1059Please respect copyright.PENANADFGwdONkGs
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7rcM8mmSE6
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANA87mc4DkbPH
Mino and TOP smiled at 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAD9U38YlZCb
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAr87FbfVCUT
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 1059Please respect copyright.PENANACbW7p14BlM
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1fsVS2M79
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYVXb3aoGyM
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAk6Do4jpMLj

raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAHLMpsSclpy
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAR1vvFP0eIO
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAb9Eo5h4ixR
"You guys go right now 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzyy1cc4HzQ
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA3TUAl9zsRv
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAYkmWAGW1Py
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAIAerCCH1Q8
"Because I need you around."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAiU1lafqrAR
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAOP2sIXo7p8
Seungyoon and his group 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA2eGDYvHYex
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7UuROkKw6Z
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 1059Please respect copyright.PENANACwZeOzLK6v
for ten minutes.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAafNc7dzXio
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzCXyf1bjB6
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAHWNb2GGVNL
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAlPaGCWTlxK
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.1059Please respect copyright.PENANApQbdESvofn
"So if you guys are 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7EmlfPQj17
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAclMUDLGc40
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAF7uvh5YLaO
"Why do you ask?" I asked.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA0kUp28Gowp
"You guys can't just 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAitWcAHhrAS
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAgAK0yrb8Uk
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 1059Please respect copyright.PENANABk4BaIxyq3
managers will find out what's going on."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAvAPGdhglLe
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA68XhWOLKzh
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.1059Please respect copyright.PENANARhv4AzohmU
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1IXyBlGfHT
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAXRfJatsJLD
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAUVKLzmztmU
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA852ojhJzsW
The others quickly 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAIIrq3XCiC5
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAcAy46rWNkW
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAzo4PSmeteo
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA1X6WjnOlkn
worried that they might have hit their heads.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAtJKnNBkQQe
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.1059Please respect copyright.PENANACuOtYyIErU
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAsYuYXGqQqw
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAw7NckjXMHN
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAjOa5RzAf0T
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAuVbErHUXnC
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"1059Please respect copyright.PENANAHtIYlZrEFo
As soon as I turned 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVil8vJ3fJD
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the1059Please respect copyright.PENANAxClqSX7Qaa
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 1059Please respect copyright.PENANAhDCd33pd0j
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7taexzsKdF
behind me paused ready for the worst.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAVqIGPpW8aq
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.1059Please respect copyright.PENANACNvegS0xUD
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."1059Please respect copyright.PENANAeoFCw19nZG
"Well, this day just got1059Please respect copyright.PENANADeZQv7cUfi
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about1059Please respect copyright.PENANAJJfV8JYnru
it. I couldn't blame him for that.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFQmZEeBUWc
Coming out of the 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA7n6FpYiPBR
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 1059Please respect copyright.PENANADpjGWORlS2
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 1059Please respect copyright.PENANABjMiMXC6cE
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAwroutrkSqW
I felt like I had stood 1059Please respect copyright.PENANA132FOgPp8q
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged1059Please respect copyright.PENANAFL8C1R2zg1
me on the shoulder to get my attention.1059Please respect copyright.PENANA8edDgNC2wN
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAx8ZYJR7fLT
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.1059Please respect copyright.PENANAQd3CuubmkG
