We left the hotel in a black SUV and drove around town to get doughnuts. I could only think of one place to get them: the store where Zoey, Christine and I met B.A.P.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIBZzh5bF7
"Wait, you're taking us to that store?" Daniel asked after I suggested we go there.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEjpPlI321
"I know there are many other doughnut places," I said as I sat in the front passenger seat, staring ahead, "but that's the only place I could think of."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GvsIVIyOb
"And besides, the doughnuts there are just delicious," said Zoey. I saw her through the rearview mirror lick her lips.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG7J1rTYu6
"I wish we were there when you met B.A.P," said Mike.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmKjVwN2DZ
"Ya, you guys had your boys night out," said Christine. "Maybe these coming days, you'll get to meet them."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDptTM9cm8
"I still don't get why you all want doughnuts," said Lee who sat with Zoey and Christine behind me.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKJuXmLWgl
"Because we want something sweet to lift our spirits," said Zoey, as she dramatically lifted her hands.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpbi9JgetH
"You should have just ordered candy instead."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPrtot4zJi
"You know all this is just an excuse to get out of the hotel," I said as I smiled to myself.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yRmnq8CIj
"I thought as much."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnu0t9HxfU
"We should hang around for a bit before going back," said Mike.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡvODwzpL7A6
"You sound just like Zoey," said Christine.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFSHZGTz0t
"Well, I'm glad someone gets me on this one," said Zoey as I saw her smile back at Mike.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsSezRsCBh
"Come on, guys," said Lee. "We can't stay out for too long. You've a song to work on."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnoXhrGWq1
"We know, Lee," said Daniel. "But it won't hurt just to have a little fun."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPHxXGYvsx
"That's why you're only going out to get doughnuts and that's it. Collins will be mad if he knows that you have been out doing nothing but having fun."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fCjtD8Aej
"Sadly, that's what we all plan on doing," said Zoey.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAqj8DcByA
"Sam, please, tell your crew that we can't stay out for more than an hour," said Lee as she looked at me.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQRIw1JyJF
As much as I didn't want to admit it, Lee was right. We had work to do. And now that most of the BTW members weren't going to show up, we had to work on the song ourselves. I understand the other's will to have a fun free time, but that would have to wait.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEihgNVfnO
"We have to listen to Lee, guys," I said. "We get the doughnuts and leave."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2Nw6bUIBA
"You're so not fun," said Zoey.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpejHcl98U
"Tell that to our managers," I turned to give Zoey a smirk.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQQSFgc1SJ
"Ooh, here we are," said Christine, looking out of the window.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmInMENk7Y
We were here, alright. And the little blue and pink store with a white coloured roof, shone brightly like a house you can only find in candy land. There was a free parking space right in front of the store and the driver took it. The five of us Toxins and Lee soon stepped out of the car.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSY0UH45Ea
The six of us all headed for the door. Mike was there first, so he stood there to keep it open while the rest of us went inside.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5ASuZ8YCz
There weren't many sitting booths inside and the place was almost empty except for a middle aged Korean couple who sat in the booth close to the counter. They didn't seem to notice us as they were engaged in some conversation only meant for the two of them. I noticed them smiling at each other as they had a plate of doughnuts in between them with cups of coffee. They looked so adorable that I also couldn't help but smile.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLmoRQDp0G
"Awww!" Zoey said admirably but again, almost too loud that I quickly had to hit her on the arm.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkVyk6P9sS
"Ouch," she looked at me angrily.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxrHIivWuv
"Don't make it so obvious that you're looking at them," I whispered. "It almost feels like you're invading their privacy."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i3rxduNCq
"Please, I don't think they would mind," said Zoey as she went to one of the booth on the other side of the room. I quickly joined her, rolling my eyes.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqT6lETuy7
"I'll go make the order," Christine offered and went to the counter. Lee joined her.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ689gsGkjqe
Mike and Daniel came to sit with us in the booth. Daniel sat next to Zoey and Mike next to me.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJD86xaeBi
"So when we get back to the hotel," said Zoey, "won't we be bored to death?"copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RSlRsVJwG
"Depends," I said. "To be honest, I feel like I can't continue working on the song."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa4hwDQ30v
"Well, we just have to," said Daniel. "Disappointing as it is that the others couldn't make it - for we know what reasons - we still have to do our best."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOUSFOGC1b
"Let's just hope the doughnuts could be the inspiration Sam needs," said Mike as he smiled at me, mockingly.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUDxiaWF6w
"I just can't stop looking at that couple over there. They are so adorable," said Zoey with her elbow on the table and her fist under her chin as she stared at the couple with a smile.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1W1Ax3LJG
I snapped my fingers in front of her. "If they see you, they will get scared and think you're a freak," I said.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvj9c4eEzH
"Well, isn't she?" Mike asked.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwsrJ1Ap9x
Zoey slowly turned her head towards Mike and she quickly went from all smiles to killer mode.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPJiNYAXak
"I should have your head on a pike," she said, through clenched teeth.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqEjRO6FNa
Mike leaned back in his seat and folded his arms. "I would like to see you try. But you do know I would hunt you in your dreams, right?"copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdO7ZOOGgI
Zoey scoffed as she dropped her arm onto the table. "It seems I will never ever get rid of you, huh?"copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x4p2c0zUv
Mike surprisingly gave her a bright smile, but we all knew it wasn't genuine. "I'm glad you know," he said.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKY7VesOTb
Lee and Christine came back to the booth. Christine joined Mike and me.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMzFtQFOsk
"Where are the doughnuts?" I asked.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQUcFd2rTA
"Well, I know how someone likes chocolate dip doughnuts," said Lee, "so we will have to wait a little longer to have our assorted set complete."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvhA66g9yR
Mike, Daniel and I turned to look at Zoey. She shrugged her shoulders as she knew that she was the one who liked chocolate dip the most.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8YL5DxHGe
"I don't think it will take long," said Lee as she sat joining Zoey and Daniel.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83WrJFT0Is
I had a clear view of the counter and I saw the same man we met last time in a white apron, packing the doughnuts in pink and blue paper boxes. There was movement in the kitchen behind the counter. Looks like we weren't going to wait long for those chocolate dip doughnuts after all.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eG2FIQREE
The man at the counter looked towards our booth and waved at me with a smile. I smiled and waved back. He still recognised me.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJiavtouBG
"Hey, Lee," said Zoey, "don't you think that couple over there is just super adorable?"copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVfNxhdyYM
Lee turned to look at the booth on the other side. "I believe so," she replied as she turned back to face Zoey. "Why do you ask?"copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvzRmpl5Ez
"Oh.., no reason," said Zoey. "I just think they are."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYQ1c0r3sM
"Zoey's lovesick," said Mike.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvAC2ZB4ti
"What the-can you just sssh!" Zoey said as she looked at Mike with a vengeance.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMvRL2Zk6k
"Ya, she must miss Mino so much," Christine said, joining in on the tease.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡB08GA83dAE
"What are you talking about?!"copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJPvro0d7
"Oh, please, Zoey," said Daniel as he gave her a look. "We all know you and Mino kind of have a....," he lifted his index and middle fingers of both his hands and flexed them to show him making quotation marks. "...thing going on."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnQyWenD4i
"That's not true," she said as she looked out the window, obviously trying to hide her face.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡz26u1RZ50z
"Maybe that's why she's been admiring that couple over there," I said, joining in on the fun. "You must miss Mino that much, huh?"copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3rSMkYCB2
"Not you too, Sam," said Zoey as she looked at me and shook her head.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83EUpsoYuB
I shrugged my shoulders as I smiled at her. Mike started it and it wouldn't hurt to tease her a little.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgGG9NaQUn
"Maybe we should give him a call," said Lee as she pulled out her phone. "See if he misses her too."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pnepdFZEe
"You can't be serious," said Zoey as she turned to look at Lee with her eyes bulging out of her sockets.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxBK2OOhQR
"Do it," Mike insisted.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡexWDZNAulr
"Yes, call him," Daniel joined.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d6tZ99EYj
"Instead of calling, we should be checking on those doughnuts," said Zoey.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j9V9EH0C5
Lee turned back to look at the counter. The owner of the store had probably gone to the kitchen. She turned back to look at Zoey with a mocking smile.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S3aRuxTpy
"He isn't there," she said and she went back to tapping on her phone. "We better make that call before he comes back."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1seuIrvgQ
"This is getting ridiculous," said Zoey. "I don't miss Mino. Why can't you just drop it?"copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jEBKMa7KS
"We know how close you two are," said Daniel. "And now that he didn't come today, you must have seen the both of you in that couple over there."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6FgXNUJNw
"And here I thought you were more sensible than your brother," Zoey looked at Daniel with a dangerous glow in her eyes. I thought she would pounce on him like a wild cat.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0QYlfd7iR
"I am. I'm just saying the truth."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvzm37oWXL
"Okay....," said Lee as her thumb made scrolling movements on her phone, muttering, "Mino, Mino, where is he? I've so many people here whose names start with M."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdjQZULeUP
"Lee, put that phone down, please," Zoey begged. This time she really meant it.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwd5XfMDyX
"Ah! Here it is," Lee had so much glee in her eyes like some child who had just spotted candy under their pillow.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy1asJKNCO
"Lee, come on." Zoey looked like she was about to lose her mind. "Why are you guys bothering me about this? If there's anyone you should be bothering, it's Christine. She likes Jinwoo."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXe6EF38z0
"Wait, what?" Christine chuckled as she almost couldn't believe what Zoey was saying. "That's ridiculous."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡyniKXnlHyy
"Oh, don't deny it. I see the way you look at him when he isn't looking."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvsd5jo2WE
"I wish I had popcorn. This just got interesting," said Daniel.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiA7ya5SJ3
"Tell me about it," said Mike.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqohHQOTTH
"Ah, his phone is ringing," said Lee with her phone to her ear.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpoJox6rUQ
Zoey turned back to Lee. "What!" This time, her voice was loud.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLRyVwAVfP
"Your order is ready," called the man at the counter.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡerBHE6Rws4
"Saved by the doughnuts," said Lee as she stood up and put her phone away in her white leather coat. She went to get the doughnuts and Christine followed to help her out.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVcfNZE4vV
"This isn't over, you know?" Mike said as he smirked at Zoey.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡweL6WuZcHv
"Oh, shut up," she snapped at him. "You guys weren't even interested with what I had to say about Christine and Jinwoo."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLngGNRdOk
"That's because it's not true," said Christine as she stood near the table with two paperboxes in her hands.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnQseREnB8
"Oh, really?" Mike asked as he gave Christine a funny smile.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡws8H4Q1w10
"Come on, Toxins," Lee announced as she was almost at the door. "Let's go before some of you end up making a scene."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyb52ZISlk
"She's talking about you," said Mike as he gave Zoey a smirk and stood up from his seat.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡsotp4G5UcU
"Why, I'm gonna-" Zoey stood up, ready to grab Mike, but Daniel stood too and held her shoulder to stop her.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwqVr5DIMu
"Look over there, Zoey," I heard him whisper to her, gesturing with his head to the couple on the other side. "You don't want them thinking you're psycho, do you?"copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX8PN9new8
Just like Zoey, I also turned towards the couple and I noticed them staring a little at our table, but trying their best not to. Daniel was right. It wasn't good for Zoey to go psycho right now. She had plenty of time to do that when we got back to the hotel.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡztzoi9EQS2
"Fine," she said as she looked at the table's surface, looking humiliated. But when she looked back at Mike, she gave him the "this-isn't-over" look. Mike happily replied with a smile.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX56NMYq0O
"Come on, let's go," said Lee as she stood by the door, waiting with her free hand holding the door handle. "Sorry for this," she said to the man at the counter.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡupGhyYaE2n
"Oh, it's no problem at all," he replied with a smile.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡBugPNsAnYM
Lee smiled and walked out. Christine did so seconds later. I stood up and joined Mike, Daniel and Zoey. The other three went out of the door before I did because I soon got distracted by the beeping of my phone in my pocket.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvS8eL014g
I stopped walking and took my phone out. I had a message from Jennie, apologising for not making it and I replied to her message. The door to the store flew open and someone walked in. I had just pressed the send button when all of the sudden, my phone dropped to the floor.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8dLiAU3cc
"Darn it," I said as I bent down to pick it up. "I really have butter fingers sometimes."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv6nxZKgxv
While I was still bent over, the person who had just come in went round me, heading for the counter. I picked up the phone, straightened up and checked to see if there was any crack on the screen. Luckily, there was none.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCZtRCld58
I placed the phone back in my pocket and I looked behind me towards the couple, still at their table. The person who had walked past me was taking his order by the counter. I continued to look at his back. He had a black denim jacket on with black jeans and wore black and white canvas shoes. Looking at his stature and the shape of his head, I couldn't help but feel like I knew him.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3d8srPq8H
At the moment, I was transfixed as the shop owner started packing doughnuts in a small paper box. The customer started to tap his fingers on the counter as he waited. He turned his head to the side, but it wasn't enough for me to fully see his face. If only he could turn his head a little more...copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ctIohm5y4
My phone beeped again. I had another message? Who could it be? I took my phone out and this time it was a message from Daesung. Well, this was a surprise.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhsxo7gPaT
I looked back at the man on the counter and figured I wouldn't get to see who it is. I turned to the door and walked out.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mITl3QM90
"What took you so long?" Lee asked when I finally got in the car. Zoey was already eating a doughnut and just finished up the last bit of it.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡRizbUpwokb
"I had to reply to a message," I answered. I put my seatbelt on. "We can start off now," I said to the driver.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhtyFpfBgt
Just when the driver started the car engine, the door to the doughnut shop flew open. My eyes at first were on the phone wanting to read Daesung's message, then I looked up at the door to the store. The person who walked out was Bang Yong-guk.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKqYDg937h
"Isn't that Bang Yong-guk?" I asked as he turned to walk down the street.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzaTgl8OiY
For a moment, everyone was silent as we watched him go. The driver didn't put the car in reverse as if he knew we might not want to leave at the moment.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Av5eYY52
"It is him," said Zoey.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡptqyEsSVxJ
"I want to go and say hi," said Daniel as he hurriedly tried to get out of the SUV.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb93bDMP2a
"What the-?" Lee looked over at Daniel as he drew the car door open, jumped over Lee's seat and went out hurriedly.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpco04gECt
"Daniel, get back here, we have to get back to the hotel!" Lee called out to him, but it was already too late.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00dwXGuROZ
"I'm going too," said Mike and he also made his way out.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mr0ZbLX3n
"Me too," said Zoey, "excuse me, Lee."copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTqYFN12wr
Zoey went past Lee and Christine also followed suit. I looked at Lee and she had a surprised look on her face. She turned to look at me. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yWrF0ReaZ
"Should I follow them?" I asked. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FPIqgcClI
"I know you want to go too," said Lee. "Just say your hi and goodbyes and get back here." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48WWDC16Uu
"Sure," I said as I quickly unbuckled the seat belt, opened the door and followed the others. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPJ2gdpZA2
"Hey, wait up," I called out to Christine and Zoey. They stood for a minute and I caught up with them. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSprTA96X5
"This is ridiculous," I said as we tried to catch up with Mike by walking as fast as we can. Daniel had gone further ahead and it looked like he was catching up to Yong-guk. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB9JJSu81N
"Because we all just want to greet Yong-guk when we could have done that at a later time?" Christine asked. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEw3y2awFa
"Ya, I mean, we do have a song to work on, so Lee really wants us to get this over with quickly." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡisCA4Ah8wk
"To be honest, I don't want to go back to the hotel," said Zoey as we passed a little boutique. She briefly glanced at the display window. "Yong-guk couldn't have come at a more better time than this to let us have time away from the hotel." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmbo2P82QG
Mike was just a few feet in front of us when he looked behind him. "Ah, sis," he said as he looked back in front of him. "I see you joined us on our walking spree." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TuN5lIqFa
"You know why," I answered, "Lee wants us to go back." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCKyxw3L1t
"What? And you're our time keeper?" Mike chuckled. These are the times when I realise why Zoey always wants to hit him. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6b5xGKUTy
I looked ahead and I saw Daniel and Yong-guk nearing a corner. We had gone too far from the doughnut shop. Daniel would have stopped him judging by the way he was so close to him. Why didn't he? copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡY24ccz4MVp
The two were turning round the corner. At that point, I saw Daniel stretch out his hand to tap Yong-guk on the shoulder. I guess he had finally caught his attention. The four of us had to hurry. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMTQEqu5rh
"Looks like Daniel finally caught up to him," said Christine. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPPHwTZPq3
We soon turned round the corner and we saw Daniel and Yong-guk standing in front of a post office, looking at each other. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ1SbVDMEU
"Yong-guk, hi!" Zoey greeted him as she went to join them. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVSImUePzJ
Daniel and Yong-guk both looked at her, surprised by her sudden appearance. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡakhSQJvnkN
"How are you?" Zoey asked when she got close. "Sam noticed you at the doughnut shop so we all wanted to come and say hi." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTKYTvHq8l
"Uhhh....," Yong-guk looked at Zoey like he didn't know what to say. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNjOSFfM1q
"Ummm...., Zoey-" Daniel said to her. I noticed his expression. He looked disappointed-kind of embarrassed, to be exact. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhjAtuxBcb
"It's good you caught up with him, Daniel," said Zoey, not giving Daniel a chance to talk. "So what have you been up to, Yong-guk?" copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡncXcfellVV
Something told me I didn't want to take part in this conversation. Daniel's face sent mixed signals. Not only did I notice, Mike and Christine did as well. We kept our distance, waiting to see what we were actually missing here. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbm1FrVJuP
"Zoey, right?" Yong-guk asked as he nervously looked at Zoey. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPk6B9HvDE
"Huh?" Zoey looked perplexed. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5Oyg1UIyy
The three of us that kept our distance were shocked. This is a surprise. He asked for her name as if he had never met her before or as if he wasn't sure. What's going on? copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZy2ceK0W1
"Zoey, listen to me-" Daniel said, but Zoey cut him off. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXnho85teP
"Have you forgotten me so easily, Yong-guk?" Zoey asked, not quiet believing what was happening. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU6ZbXYDlO
"It's not that Zoey," said Yong-guk. "It's just that I'm not who you think I am." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ5FNokp3j
"What!" Zoey looked like her head was about to explode. "What are you saying!" copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxWejZPMVx
"What does he mean?" Mike whispered to me. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yl2Eyg7PL
I didn't answer right away as I continued to look at Yong-guk in front of me. I felt like I was missing something, but what? Zoey on the other hand continued saying random things that she disturbed my thoughts. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj0K7KNttM
"Zoey, we aren't going to figure out anything if you keep reacting like this," I said. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JPyUls5Ed
"Oh, Sam, what do you want me to say?" Zoey asked as she looked at me. "I can't believe that Yong-guk has forgotten me so soon." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡA58DlNqO6d
"Would you listen to me for once, you drama queen!" Daniel said out loud. He sounded irritated and whatever he wanted to say, he wanted to say it quick. We all know how restless Zoey could get sometimes that it's difficult to calm her down. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJP7RsVATa
Zoey grew silent as she looked at Daniel with a scared look on her face. Daniel might be sweet and innocent, but when you push his buttons too far, he would explode in a way you wouldn't think possible. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡdodQTWK72W
"This isn't Bang Yong-guk," Daniel continued, this time, his tone was firm but gentle. "It's actually his twin brother, Bang Yong-nam." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrhIhG0jhw
"Huh?" Christine and I muttered as we looked at Yong-guk's twin. So that was what I was missing. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb029Cz1nY
"Twin?" Zoey couldn't believe it either. "I'm really going to faint." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgvQWv56hY
"Wow, you two look so much alike," said Mike. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDqI5BooqS
Yong-nam smiled at us and said, "I get that comment a lot. Don't worry, you aren't the first." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WjwbXqKQb
"Phew! Thank goodness," said Zoey, looking relieved and scratching the back of her head. "I'm sorry if I took it too far there." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL5dC8l5aw
"She's one who doesn't take things little by little," said Daniel as he looked at Yong-nam. Zoey threw him a look. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYM41u8qHX
"Oh, it's cool," said Yong-nam. "Like I said, I get into these incidents all the time." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUOJtCYzmy
"It's really nice meeting you," I said. "We thought you were your brother and we wanted to say hi." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pX8xx4gGn
"Oh, you were the one at the doughnut shop picking up your phone on the floor, weren't you?" he asked as he looked at me. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡf23cMsjuMe
"Yes, I was. When I saw you at the counter, I felt like I knew you. Turns out I was half right." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEXHA4eLQS
He chuckled and I couldn't help but feel like I was actually looking at Bang Yong-guk when it's actually his twin brother. It's going to take time for me to get used to this. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ9xQ81mvt
"It's really nice meeting you all," he said, "though it's under weird circumstances." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡZePZLRiLkL
"Ya, super weird," said Daniel as he gave Yong-nam a huge grin. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaEG05M04K
"Well, we better be going back," I said. "The pleasure is ours, Yong-nam. Tell your brother that we, Toxins said hi." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgIZ1ChMiI
"Wait, he's right nearby," Yong-nam said quickly. "I went out to get doughnuts for him and his friends." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQYO7yWF97
"He's around?" Zoey asked. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zf5xnyDlN
"Ya, you can come along with me. That's if you aren't so busy." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡefFzuCeSKn
I felt all eyes fall on me, including Bang Yong-nam's. Goodness, I never really liked it when I was the one who had to call the shots. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZbANjr6Af
"We'll have to ask Lee first," I said as I pulled out my phone. "She wants us to go back to the hotel because we have stuff to do." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNwTYmavaG
"If you're busy, then I shouldn't bother you," said Yong-nam as he smiled at me. "I'll just pass on your greetings to him and B.A.P." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp1rdQYwH7
"The whole group is together?" Daniel asked. Yong-nam nodded. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rIwJTR1Ix
"Bummer," said Mike. "I was really looking forward to meeting them since we didn't get to last time." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡBydwGgUMy3
"Sam, call Lee," said Zoey. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡit04iAe0eX
"Yes, Sam, please do," said Christine. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TdIIJ1kyh
"Alright, don't rush me," I said as I tapped away on my phone. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeUgHo3SUX
But just before I could even call, I saw the black SUV slowly come up right behind me, making a turn down the street and finally parking across. The other Toxins followed my eyes and they knew right away it was Lee. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCb0JSNRTl
"No need of calling her now," I said. I looked back at my phone, remembering that I had an unread message from Daesung. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡelk9a8o9bH
I looked across the street and I saw Lee quickly cross the road. I went back to looking at my phone and read the message quickly. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQlefmElTH
"There you are, you troublemakers," said Lee when she reached us. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY4OVlrxms
"Uh-oh," said Mike. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiXyZWHtue
Uh-oh, indeed. When Lee calls us troublemakers, it was a sign that she was not happy. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVoHlK1J2s
"What's going on here?" Lee asked as she put her hands on her hips. "You were supposed to be back at the doughnut shop." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsvmpchTRA
"Yes, we know," said Christine. "But there was a bit of a mix up." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkc6M6raIS
"What mix up?" copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4sydJabnS
Daniel told her what happened. Yong-nam greeted Lee like it was nothing. And just like us, Lee couldn't believe that Yong-nam was really Yong-guk's twin. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK3J2WulPk
"Wow, it's not everyday that you get to run into someone's twin," said Lee. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvEJyuQudW
"And a celebrity's for that matter," added Mike. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSGyWfEds1
"Lee, we wanted to ask a favour," Zoey said as she turned to look at Lee. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdo4gGsGia
Lee put up a face and was right to do so. She wasn't going to like what's next. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjFA6CuwVw
"What favour?" she asked as if she knew what it was. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W1BuvU23D
"Well..," Zoey played around with her fingers, "Yong-nam here is bringing in doughnuts for his brother and the rest of B.A.P, so we were wondering if we could go over there and say hi." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiFe8Ehyrn
The nerve on Lee's head looked like it was about to pop. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL9DDu6wgM
"You know you have work to do, right?" Lee asked. I could tell that she didn't want to raise her voice, especially not in front of Yong-nam. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l65BsIqX0
"Of course, we do. We just want to say hi, that's all." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOp1reujxd
Lee would have let out a growl if she wanted to. But instead, she sighed and said, "fine." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡRESPugYQNd
Zoey jumped for joy, not hiding her excitement. The rest of us just smiled. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66LkQRmByb
"But I'll be going with you," she added as she folded her arms. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpmVB4yutG
"It's cool," said Mike. "We need someone to keep track of us anyway." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4McOZhbUaz
"Alright, then," said Yong-nam, he also couldn't hide the smile on his face. "The others would be really happy to see you." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hloB4EEbp
"I think we better get those extra doughnuts in the car so that there's plenty for everyone," said Lee. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡepoe0q5VBR
"That would be great." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiG4Lh5PQq
"I'll help you," I said. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtGVWuytAx
Lee and I crossed the road to where the car was packed while the others stayed where they were. I could already hear Zoey ask Yong-nam a dumb question: copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBohNpwZZR
"So, how does it feel to have a twin?" copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU2AcNddK4
"Geez, Zoey can drive you nuts," I said. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI9Rktdp3z
"Tell me about it," said Lee as we reached the car. "It's a miracle that I still have my head intact for so long." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GvLGzMhBA
As soon as we reached the car, I looked at my phone to reply to Daesung's message. Lee had already opened the car door to the passengers' side to remove the doughnut boxes as she told the driver about the latest developments. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD7mtRXH7b
"Hey, are you going to help me out here?" Lee called out to me. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLWt31Rshi
"Oh, sorry," I said as I quickly put away my phone into my pocket to get one of the boxes Lee was holding in her hands. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPw4nbm0st
"What were you looking at on your phone?" Lee asked as she closed the car door with her free hand. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKpCxBTHYw
"I had a message from Daesung. How free is our evening schedule?" copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15fds8NT7W
"Well...," Lee looked left and right down the road before we crossed. "If you all manage to make progress with the song, you might just be free. Why do you ask?" copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxjZ4mkLHs
"Oh, no, reason," I said as we crossed the road. "Daesung asked if we can all go watch an outdoor movie with him and Seungri." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡN185LfS1bS
We were almost so close to the others when Lee looked at me strictly. "Not a word to anyone about this until we get back to the hotel, okay?" she ordered. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ1mz3C8Kx
"Ummm, ok," I answered. I would have opposed, but it didn't seem appropriate at the moment. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9a771wm3j
"We're all here," Lee announced with a smile as though she didn't look strict earlier. "We can go now." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOdL6FWcEZ
"Alright, follow me," said Yong-nam as he led the way down the street with Zoey walking right beside him. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5Pb3w7lPl
"So where are they anyway?" Zoey asked. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTwh7Vjmyf
"They are at the agency," Yong-nam answered. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡmez0NGrsQ1
"Oh, it's TS Entertainment, isn't it?" Lee asked. copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCMfsY9E87
Yong-nam nodded. "Yep." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTHrDB2sAD
"I can't believe we are going there," said Christine. "I am so excited." copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbbHwQEBYU
We all were. We, Toxins, at least got what we wanted: more free time away from the hotel. But now, Lee had laid an ultimatum for us that the others weren't even aware of yet. I hope we get done with this fast, because if the others get to know tonight's program, they would probably want to go. And that's if we make a tremendous amount of progress on the song.copyright protection17ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpymDrz6K8
