Meeting WINNER the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAFZnGq1oQiG
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA3PkebaBsLt
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAPhe401ChMe
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAWNtrzdZCYD
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAgTf5UPUKxY
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAqodH8Jd4kT
With the little time we 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkoYkLF8xbw
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again1158Please respect copyright.PENANAPGl8MIkSuM
as we all got to know each other.1158Please respect copyright.PENANALXBxsIZEps
Seungyoon, the leader 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAH1A4jDLp1H
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxWZo2EL1Vh
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a1158Please respect copyright.PENANA41Dg4cAokn
fun and nice person to be around with.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAr8vryBJIsA
Then there is Mino, who 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAO3BlQ50uHr
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for1158Please respect copyright.PENANA968stzqGil
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAvOsQBMunoA
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8UyivmgHWm
As for Jinwoo and 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAXBQm7n2ZSO
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIgNSEMj7wR
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 1158Please respect copyright.PENANACIb6M6XkfJ
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 1158Please respect copyright.PENANADw0nEhGnSd
in Korea.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAcADe8RRs2m
As for Seunghoon, I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANADNYJVtN1bk
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking1158Please respect copyright.PENANAaVqsA6Rw0c
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAzkG3TLfoN8
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.1158Please respect copyright.PENANActoyTM9DHx
Before they left, we 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxPY9rjmgmH
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAzVICqiT6b1
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAFPu4y1HXow
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGMvB9EiHVA
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done1158Please respect copyright.PENANAh7vankPtRV
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAp6oCzHmIvH
place?1158Please respect copyright.PENANAv3igLVt5KS
I already had that part 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAUYKQMlxY01
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAa2RLPVDmBa
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjf1LOmONGW
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8CyckFgQaJ
wouldn't have to break a sweat.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAcNeFZLIarL
Right now, this very 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIGFlnybgry
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMumOTWy2iW
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjag6mEJQuS
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee1158Please respect copyright.PENANAvqRplSCuoF
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAC88qEXGs3S
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAE1MOm3BPEA
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwVfHPpzxav
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.1158Please respect copyright.PENANArTmzcEeEmi
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA12IFezrxN1
"I'm tired of sleeping,"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAYYrgtGALWP
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwihddxOqyf
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAg4ZLWyq0Hm
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAKp9Sy39JHP
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.1158Please respect copyright.PENANANAqM4g4yXU
"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."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwAbFhnHNft
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZZl8K5xpKt
"You know, going for 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAaf1deWxdFr
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwWFSBIq0s2
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAO0gTTZIPea
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAN9YNNwssTr
we try to do what we're familiar with."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAo2SyPCTTYe
"Mmmm, I guess you're 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAbJNWV821Zu
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIIYfCFyBHo
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAXirywo4vJk
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1UXbPPwoO9
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkBhRhPXIAk
"Yep," Collins nodded 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAWf5p1oppAF
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4qynmVBJE1
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 1158Please respect copyright.PENANApcdazmpre1
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjySrnExOya
good now, will it?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGeBWeIApgf
Wow. This was literally 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIc3hwbOqx4
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAfdMqhBtbSG
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAlKBQl6Y5q8
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkOQ1alJO2v
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.1158Please respect copyright.PENANABUrwr3Iijo
I left the lounge at a 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwvh6a0NZYG
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAyEhE9i43hZ
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGCHXgkjG4r
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4k85h2BYJx
Zoey sat up with a start1158Please respect copyright.PENANAcBOzOGlBj2
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAXoyQvUCd83
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAtGIiIguTH1
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMRwvFKI24M
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.1158Please respect copyright.PENANACVVrsFDrGm
At first she didn't say a1158Please respect copyright.PENANAP86hsbsK3j
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 1158Please respect copyright.PENANASRnAx2pgd4
looking at me with her eyes wide open.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAyiDjzinFo3
"What did you say?" she asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAlhPOghRDhA
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAXZj6ZiRZGe
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhPxMOHMmlM
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4WWvGKumsx
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANA3RRmpJrnzR
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAciCDxhj8sA
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAPnHWxCfXqq
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAar0ltJQ1aZ
I went to wake up 1158Please respect copyright.PENANActai7yjyL2
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhYfuu7vfNP
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.1158Please respect copyright.PENANALDtXbsQfH6
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZtcJW7YMXK
"I gave a reasonable 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAate43DzVPP
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGoc2xX3GLC
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANA2XTHH6dYQH
I noticed Christine 1158Please respect copyright.PENANASOMGu3VTeh
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly1158Please respect copyright.PENANAiFnqYrybwF
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAenjFb1hebu
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjwItOxRmCe
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMin7l3gF9y
When we all had our bags1158Please respect copyright.PENANAiptxlIUS3s
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAynqJM7oDf0
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAAz2tu1Ph9L
looked at us.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAlOJlGfQRGP
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAepj7gyGwMB
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAqCVR0nTgDa
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjgkHTRLC4L
"I hate when you use my 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA543PxO204r
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAJQFJgOn5PX
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAtfRVJULCjF
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8BVfEKmp22
Collins rolled his eyes 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAg9JluxfeBj
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAsRisiUCVc9
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGQInCUTOtg
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZEiPdUAVb
"I would really love to,1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhU55BgheYW
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkKTD286j7p
by at lunchtime to check on you."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAEDWciQIib1
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA3hjJh7Sdba
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAztpYza6fFY
"Nothing," said Christine.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAyXjb5DC2Ah
I noticed Mike give 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAECR9JDdO9g
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut1158Please respect copyright.PENANA5lSLJ7xMOn
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA0KZt8QSjIN
going on.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA10UzEqEQvB
"It's just about the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIbs5NpwmFm
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAp2KY4qr9Cn
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA0XvcpkUdru
happened."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAbZLgs7vmAe
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkyS8H3OZll
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAYAYTiyZpZs
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAaXsrtqcPjZ
When we arrived at YG, 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAHBcWJyeG0b
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIYMCT81IiG
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAq2TdTnaWs3
"I already informed the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANARbXcqEXB3F
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA03wDBZAF7B
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAgKiKnxLFRk
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAaxjnosvbJP
"I know you will. See you later."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAuxzp1BPnmB
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4vjdyt5IfN
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.1158Please respect copyright.PENANACL1l8fnRex
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAvTYJXs4y32
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6hHUfEPmp5
"Careful, Zoey," I said 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAe2u4sV5MkQ
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8qovk4SCOf
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxAv2WiqcSy
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAQCSCGFNYj5
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANArVZrtdbrsT
"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.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMMn3yybU4l
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAy1U4XAUZz3
"No," I said as the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8c9qvTSmmw
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAEHDsC5WzMG
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8T4G3zNMDM
studios.1158Please respect copyright.PENANATR6YkFengt
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA5czr61L6Jv
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAieLiO5RRWz
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."1158Please respect copyright.PENANApYxfzNrypx
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZUAC8jiwcD
"That's different."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAuSFuJv9FJ9
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6UowEHSUNU
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAPbocmZZaMl
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAyrfJk8QWIk
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAdYWlo82H4H
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1Md3aBg3oa
It was so much fun 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA2r9e4jKLJZ
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAOg3eWjsIZ5
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAVaNJO2XMtS
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.1158Please respect copyright.PENANASnJMml624Y
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA9HTYhfwRfK
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAcvCQnRcLvK
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAgNqpDJRJZF
"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."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1tYVIe0pjp
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANA7WDoCKGGle
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8YHZp57PFL
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAobeF2dYaQv
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."1158Please respect copyright.PENANARhAgYkwV7Z
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA3P9Ygt69le
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAEkDELwtRBK
"Come on, Zoey," I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAVICUo70SCB
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIQkYIaMOXW
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAWnoJ9obvlv
"What song?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAQB6uNRBDKe
I didn't answer when I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8gp1OuBUeJ
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAmD9qGRDX7v
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAJK49HKsrP3
pill soon started to play.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAa1SmFtCVRx
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.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA2q6zjaBZEY
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhYw9xwNr0A
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.1158Please respect copyright.PENANASuEeQWxhKA
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.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAciysJ75ehT
It's been a while since I1158Please respect copyright.PENANAqUQNdWzhAm
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjAcD9FBZ5s
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnjldr10g6C
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAU10Npm1fhl
At the end of it, the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAz5dZBjqHNn
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAqGDHuBCich
our moves synchronising with one another.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAH8XAX5chWw
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnYc4L4USuv
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAdfTqrHITDU
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAQaHH4YYBbN
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAcOhCbKqLKY
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA44zZ8zGXZB
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxBsrLbPmZV
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAb8xb4vZWI3
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAAN1RBVBtgr
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.1158Please respect copyright.PENANALsLgmmqnzD
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4LiXOZiT9d
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA31IdXmG0Om
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANARymPcNeLOU
Mino and Seunghoon both 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAFRhF53X9tQ
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAUNMRLLz4dX
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIRmv441yG7
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAuHFBHz6y6T
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA2UTY5ZJq6k
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAEwnvpV6o6u
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAuzpJhztrxg
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIsg1cpE7PH
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIk4qup7Glh
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."1158Please respect copyright.PENANABeDTpZvWYn
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.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA0l0Mq8WyP2
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.1158Please respect copyright.PENANArslCUFyAwF
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4dpxRLlxl5
I nudged my head to the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAk56kxnpkuP
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAzglzmeROYN
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the1158Please respect copyright.PENANA0WowEwdmNB
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.1158Please respect copyright.PENANABB154OmOFX
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA7DetVDA3IG
Seunghoon lips were 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAS9MVrsvRVQ
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was1158Please respect copyright.PENANAH35bfiwkzn
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose1158Please respect copyright.PENANAWK8JIYSUkT
focus.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAmlwTdcshz2
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.1158Please respect copyright.PENANADObiEeWjrY
"The others might, but I1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwfLNkWANTu
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going1158Please respect copyright.PENANAgPpNvUFcP0
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8wpdE3iufp
when TOP came to pick me up?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANATzk6dWENLy
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAbzr0o84a9A
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1Gqml9Auwd
He again took a step closer. "Yes."1158Please respect copyright.PENANADzt3lXYcXC
Well, that made sense 1158Please respect copyright.PENANALfY74FRXly
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA7NJBgJpIcY
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwz30sdg9fa
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAfafmwt0h6z
seen.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAHqLvWJr4r2
I hadn't realised it 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8tdRuB4usF
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1jL88w5Etd
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAuBHqC2HSsf
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAEw8GQxUwbB
uncomfortable.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6ytgs0PqUZ
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.1158Please respect copyright.PENANATaOEQv1AvB
"Well, yes," he 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAcwG4xy9tgG
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhkzFnHydXj
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."1158Please respect copyright.PENANANSooCboUXz
"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."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAUMvR8NEzaw
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAak3E54Maia
I blushed and I was a 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA5VNA206nXD
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAYon5S6daIn
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA7Efid6T5Eo
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMmc5okJtVB
celebrities.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAtABAbAD8D0
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANApCm4J3HOxb
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAEQBnnnsrX1
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAYVM46kYs0i
"No, they don't," I lied1158Please respect copyright.PENANArBrhpcQKQC
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAg0mRFnoSHo
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAaOKhoCDIDU
others had arrived.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAO74wuWcPcY
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAl2Ap93Yqdp
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAqtRSepSCuV
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAFr2rFxxHKt
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAdg4oJRvKox
"Awesome," I replied.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAmbdjMltkUe
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.1158Please respect copyright.PENANASiOyuCj23d
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ3siMdrUt
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAszKdXYxIcy
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAAoqXQq7sPv
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAcT3ndAMEH6
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxJgQ4Ab0Mh
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."1158Please respect copyright.PENANANoyGEp1voh
"And besides, you and I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAatJ9BdRvBZ
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 1158Please respect copyright.PENANALOSgwIdrfl
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnXIbRLulaN
and Seunghoon showed up."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1iOMd2RpaN
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAizUzVytqbZ
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxaodWpUfPu
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1k0dppHKpN
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA38MrHhT4NH
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAB8qaK8hxmL
Apparently, he wasn't 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAFJMxT4pVkS
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all1158Please respect copyright.PENANAWCrRr5IV6J
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that1158Please respect copyright.PENANAqrYKyHZTPJ
just made him look even more adorable.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAVpzPBHoRb8
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAKPDAQ41Gep
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAm8U5Ick0An
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAPz7np3F74N
"Yes!" I heard the four 1158Please respect copyright.PENANArwubNdl4lh
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAEKXnZYEvjx
at the track list. Then, something came to me.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAqfYTHr9vqq
"Change of plans, Zoey,"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAuzPH6K6h0m
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want1158Please respect copyright.PENANAUA8OzxpcQ9
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."1158Please respect copyright.PENANACrQQV6qUyC
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8C6kNyz4Ce
"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."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAbrZXzOPPf2
"This just got interesting," said Mino.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6gWWrB4y5c
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAW46q3WlelI
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIfNafTTb95
"Taeyang is going to 1158Please respect copyright.PENANATHGZDfQbam
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjREFKB1hGH
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnVjPjCylvo
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAWWsVvhEVwl
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAQSvn1vm8nq
I tapped the track on my1158Please respect copyright.PENANACcfcgunlFy
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAPWSkTl7D6v
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.1158Please respect copyright.PENANARiZR6rj1qB
When the song started, I1158Please respect copyright.PENANAs4r7mDN9Az
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 1158Please respect copyright.PENANANPeTR9xDIM
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwySspjQRs0
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAdPbvkvN9Xa
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6RoOz3HqBk
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAfEuraFVcUw
doing a pretty good with the moves too.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkV2rtTtCAf
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAk5N8Hw7zM1
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAOQt7iAjGiN
"Whenever it came to the1158Please respect copyright.PENANAC2ok64oToz
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4zAZJRxMNz
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAOwzpV122FA
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."1158Please respect copyright.PENANADBSaZUrgfU
"Thanks, guys," I said.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAKhsZiTO7ON
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA86Y86Frv8s
"Now, coming to my 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qh9xduxJC
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA3W3VgELtWH
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAc41IITPIEH
think is a better dancer?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8cw2z1M1g2
"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."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4f8yEyprGj
"Why?" Zoey asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAeWLY60md1R
"I think you and I both 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZmRXouA9GP
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAqYvGIwOcZh
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 1158Please respect copyright.PENANASsRelgiQuO
That counts for something, right?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANALpWqrQNPZ9
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMC7TWOZ2D8
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAG5BjNhwZoi
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAAKHm4IR4mC
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6MHjbiBwrr
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAa5TkbwZuZD
"Well, ya." Mike 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAYzrs55u50S
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkCwuFCacyE
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA43bRt0kIYH
sentence as he looked at Zoey.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIbIW6fHAGW
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAJbwHyXrJPk
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAS5L2vgWNsQ
"I also think it will be1158Please respect copyright.PENANAJo0Jt8VaUA
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAbhqINwlIyl
obviously bring out a better opinion."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8o5TPEKaQE
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAWJWtgu5uiu
"Count me out of it," I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwS2Cj5tldG
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANARQ58FRoYAK
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."1158Please respect copyright.PENANASJUvKpKnTf
"Fine, I'll create a 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAAkValqxzos
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how1158Please respect copyright.PENANAgI0s76buvA
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8FtiEVlnmO
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAPgqGJLVtvY
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhiPIAYeVRD
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."1158Please respect copyright.PENANArELFTURujY
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAk8gCPrZg7b
Zoey and Mike soon got 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA9f59QjUBFf
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAoDLNnUAdtk
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAK7ySZA54IQ
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance1158Please respect copyright.PENANAY3QUzldeGJ
battle.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIy0NPk5tsR
I got my phone and the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6ioITeWJrR
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAlNQKDILsTo
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA0l89KxHxmd
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxVI2SqTYLu
I turned to look at him 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAXePyR8Ug0g
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAQCCSpJxD1g
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAtydxcQI9Jz
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAFoG4vus981
smile if they were to look at him.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA3tzcUv1mvH
"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."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxA7UGf1uAc
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.1158Please respect copyright.PENANABlfJTCyyJQ
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4ts6u4Wmve
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZYPqYDsPMr
"You're right about that."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnRFzanY8hs
I looked behind me with a1158Please respect copyright.PENANAXXZbiF4Pw0
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAJ82efuzJDf
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA0fXBZAa15w
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAv1TiBnyiTB
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZiW9kKVdVR
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhN3C2sSW2G
"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."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA72xNahuUi6
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANA5IWiuLAdOP
"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."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA0x52hPEsCp
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."1158Please respect copyright.PENANALo9IzJPIY5
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhuDcpR6kTZ
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA76wwfyRUN5
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAPyV6RKqZQ2
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAokt9xbOC0s
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."1158Please respect copyright.PENANANEZUnUE44d
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAfBidJHv6Xq
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAn2qlxxoZ8K
"I sure hope so," I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA9qxnBzZwxH
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAWe7wQeMczc
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAoiwbkLcJ2J
"What about those two?" 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAyTDmv0A9zX
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAUOxCKcqqxB
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkFf1m5jfdy
soon.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIYY8Jhd775
"They will notice when 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA7AlnAgJK43
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwRlmrS93Wm
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAdNKPB6HsTc
"Sure," he said with a smile.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwMDaBsKVpJ
Christine, Daniel and I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAVKGQHIXtWc
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAztmQ248EUe
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjn1XBI7iAl
Twenty minutes later, I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAl38wqUJTYy
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGIBksS22UZ
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAbyc7bBy2mt
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAfFL4LUia5k
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAFcsym6EjdC
in the shower room, still patching herself up.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAPS7vTM52J4
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2r279b27Q
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6x7NnEyvc8
"Why? Anything special?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGmqCdvCDth
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAbYPK736k50
"Oh, nothing," I stared 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAmKtno3dt2f
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAJndSt104Pl
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAyuvnacVssn
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwo9VLyg0LH
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGTXZWk4Z2Z
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAcxy30SxJi2
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA2vlk2PQll7
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8RK8loM5b9
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAp6NxSBIocC
"What are you talking about?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhScsSlLgdc
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAVtUcKstdvU
Christine's mouth fell 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAuutoRlaI9e
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bjl5b6eJG
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA33M7lvcdBl
"No, I don't," she said.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAOEwDezC2tY
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAgpfgseYh0T
do like him but only as a fan girl."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9RwGDw9o5
"Please, I saw the way 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAcyrk4HK9XM
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that1158Please respect copyright.PENANAL5VonSSOQa
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZza8zbGnij
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxTuPbNpVIi
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of1158Please respect copyright.PENANA2KqlORr9qu
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAAKyzBrdOmR
more."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGIqQ4mMeXB
"Ya, right," I said as I1158Please respect copyright.PENANA3oueKOiC9e
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAroS4qTtidY
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAlTjhfOIKdm
weird look on your face."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAfnVivtUzOH
"What weird look?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAaNIDnDnPMV
"The jealous one."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1kxn8lmMWo
"Spare me the drama, Sam."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA5NlzNbmPVn
"If Zoey was the one 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAN428XINBoL
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwSHVpDBjxm
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 1158Please respect copyright.PENANANuN8oevKMV
Jinwoo."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA742mtzSIE2
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAR23OVLNUie
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAHBa5Mbd1hF
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."1158Please respect copyright.PENANATy4p3ssFPD
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.1158Please respect copyright.PENANApnI2QpWlRO
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMyxE0MG20X
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.1158Please respect copyright.PENANALWf2zJJlXD
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA5OVJ1e5Gr2
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA5zh1BySxdD
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAK2k87VW0AF
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZmuRQceglL
Mike gave Christine a 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAOnoodmWzHc
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxnKeUAHOAb
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't1158Please respect copyright.PENANA7BzsJb6Iig
wrong about that.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwr7E0hFIYb
We decided to go back to1158Please respect copyright.PENANAFFMlzVIRNV
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAQibEXpzG4Q
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6h8WO8h1FA
this happened:1158Please respect copyright.PENANA9ofLhWfmRQ
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.1158Please respect copyright.PENANARM9KaEMHp2
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4XPqX3VWgF
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkMjE5O7DEf
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8YxXxO2GH9
I wanted to frown at him1158Please respect copyright.PENANA0en7m68oiO
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 1158Please respect copyright.PENANALuEf31mztz
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAPnewEPDUf4
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAsNZDQHcLED
I looked at Jinwoo and I1158Please respect copyright.PENANAFAJ9DdfZ4g
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAtPe8UXTUsw
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnkPX7yZFMo
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAa1Ir2FnMxt
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.1158Please respect copyright.PENANArWK7MrOSNg
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1kvwPAaklW
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAzuvHfMst8p
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAyhR3hiMzbN
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhHFstdSGmu
"Good idea. Let's go."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAeNWNY4Hfx3
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAYr3v4IbMeb
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxpwx9aUrLt
Before he could say 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA3KNvuCfPmi
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGSdSN6F4n9
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped1158Please respect copyright.PENANAvqwibhTerk
out of the room, he was snickering.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAgluW9qS52M
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMm6wUI9Ih7
"Just because I'm his 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAo86K2WBDgR
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxtN10oL2co
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkitwVNq9QS
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAst8uGGKVMF
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAVbhrEzLxYP
"Actually, it was only 1158Please respect copyright.PENANARjJRug9WLw
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAPFKZxIBAz6
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAVanicuDIws
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIn25gS3coD
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAppDdivUtH6
When we got to the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjv0P6DGxxS
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnSGrCyMFo1
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAgzPA8Ip9s5
inside the elevator.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAyFVw3DzqW9
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAybBqNPr1Re
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAH3CoyUp2hy
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAOEKWHrLv3I
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA11G4egr8nV
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkD1QrYvtBN
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMwmsewPQh6
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAJxccogpMN3
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxrhB0dVqIM
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6vDrKS3tVE
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAOyABa1EtnV
"Well, if you're 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAzq9HyggXLy
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAVuMqv2Hk7H
his face and I could tell something was up.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAPOuD4xyMQV
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8PYLQDE8DM
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAk8QLKGoqE3
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7D4zIyNcv
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."1158Please respect copyright.PENANABI7UGlpZkr
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA0SpDVWUEPv
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnbhKA6L7rG
"I came to see you guys 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAeNelTw3sEa
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 1158Please respect copyright.PENANANiGzTKQ7vO
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA2PvO7nDhJn
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAvPnNdMEFNM
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAu9aH6VYwQK
"Okay, then you go and 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6Y7um2HEZ
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino1158Please respect copyright.PENANAoxAgsC4b0b
to get Zoey as fast as we could."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAigATE1queq
"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.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAfxJRv8nHwj
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7063VL5qF
We headed downstairs to 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAg149MN8B0v
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhIfST7Hql1
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMQSbOuOVD3
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnoMGUNyDOI
"Trying to look good," 1158Please respect copyright.PENANALoSoqTHKEt
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAmyuuHalOzh
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjqd9kdvtNO
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxHiX6BduwO
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAdWxuqraHRw
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAin98DJT6f5
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAWQHCXDrKeS
"You're kidding, right?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAJD2pnN49H1
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAQCEhk5ergm
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAG6b5Zi65OJ
"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."1158Please respect copyright.PENANApiRwfLA7e7
Just as I turned around 1158Please respect copyright.PENANABJKuSceEvE
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1rwO8rMjoF
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAW6r8Subl0n
the the floor we were on.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIxu4MA3F5d
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.1158Please respect copyright.PENANADllT4eKS2S
Just as we turned round a1158Please respect copyright.PENANAipNr50ayhQ
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 1158Please respect copyright.PENANACyDbx3bs1F
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAlKRCYVmon0
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAIDpbDYUMjX
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAO6YAQ46In2
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAABD7Vz5wTq
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6BccyWtkmk
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANA0d7oJVrYv2
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAXL2aGuQJvm
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZPrLUhlmLK
I didn't say anything as1158Please respect copyright.PENANACVJnRYeROf
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZSf1hOJaJp
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAh8B7nIhEic
Hyun-suk's voice.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAYITxqX874J
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.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkvfbrjBnHv
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZz8hHiUtAa
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAX99ky2USm1
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA9GXgr3Mcji
I checked around with my1158Please respect copyright.PENANAaxBlNRxJhT
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAj8qvEC6OTW
the light went on in the tiny room.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAj96ZfMUFoy
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAH3wly1A6a0
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAvZyIaQvd3h
I shook my head. "They are still there."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ub4orCy2O
Mino and Zoey both 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAq9unq3EeJ8
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAU8B23hslWw
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANADUkpXNeLXO
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAo6pPv27sNK
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZsKiGDrj0d
behind me.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAX88eqYi7iP
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAibzivYaCka
"I think they are gone," I whispered.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnSmKeYJJPy
"Try and check," Mino whispered.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkqDqKsekSe
I took hold of the door 1158Please respect copyright.PENANArDdxzzyBqh
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhDVW3FQKyL
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8gQvqK7aLV
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAEKElKFHDka
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.1158Please respect copyright.PENANANu8dEvBKDZ
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAW33MFb6loG
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.1158Please respect copyright.PENANADwxjk7aDLO
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAVnv87ipMCb
The three of us were 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAp3RQGo2bVx
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAXmciR5b8o4
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was1158Please respect copyright.PENANAdNXTPqQVR7
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1gEY9C13Fc
heard the phone ring.1158Please respect copyright.PENANABCy2wfgXDB
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMxYOr5u7FU
I quickly took the bag 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAmOHNf8fuhl
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAOyh7KaWxi0
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 1158Please respect copyright.PENANALDSuM4yFwC
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA2Pv56lLj3Y
anything strange."1158Please respect copyright.PENANATAXeH6Pep8
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAWCRPE3Bb5y
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA2Yz9Z9976S
Mino and Zoey quickly 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjByKrI3pDn
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4rDhvrCPW
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAx2zJWbe5oX
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGcYz2s8kwu
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxhkjDM6Cve
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.1158Please respect copyright.PENANABZ0cFapxBa
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAmiZlT6F9ZD
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAss2c6ojjGP
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."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAsCHNvCIR2y
I gave them a little 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAKjnIpA4e0h
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 1158Please respect copyright.PENANArmD57NRPPM
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAmVHWCt2dhE
the place.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAb4nHc95Vpc
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAqw9pnetoC4
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAavY09qGKrU
"I must say, I watched 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAohELwa7TvJ
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMH1qJULSDd
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAEgpgTg1VxI
black suit.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAx6VZ2NJlSU
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhsTq3Y8D4O
"You really do have good manners," said other man.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA8VcB0TU07O
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAYoZqj8qrew
"I always do my best," I said politely.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAqpmw1AGlMM
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAo2qFPXEMvG
I felt my eyes were 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAFapeoFUePt
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA0KZBvSczz6
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 1158Please respect copyright.PENANALEHG9mAUne
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAtUzfSn9Rs7
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAq2vBYGgVtU
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAaNn8LSnI0i
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me1158Please respect copyright.PENANA5mViFvZDjo
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAuTOwvyTmxX
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAp64NSL7nkg
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAHlGOuw5iGB
"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."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAr6xl9Ef5ya
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMG2RNAvHnz
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAlXvJyf3p2r
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."1158Please respect copyright.PENANALSG3LZ8d5j
I smiled as I bowed my 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAVSNvrrzHMK
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAiR9JOcfZ4c
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAcK3t0QkTL1
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I1158Please respect copyright.PENANAzIMMK64CH1
was until now.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAOGMAzjjTQA
I quickly ran to the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANATBXprUaXFZ
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2SyM0ILCU
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAvW6ZkEIZxV
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnNFr0KeR2l
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAJf4q3YV9pY
see.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAHaELSdSZXo
"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.1158Please respect copyright.PENANARCoqrU3y58
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAadUqv43ehM
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxjzQaXamwI
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.1158Please respect copyright.PENANABEMKlJPS8I
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAatykxjMeY2
"Because I missed you."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAdZmnDOAJ2l
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAur7q0Xetub
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAtsjCK6iMB6
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1BgyDXK1ho
When we reached the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA9M44pdnamu
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAYX6uYZaWTO
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAlX1aix8IsN
lobby.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA2edfGY3Nxz
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.1158Please respect copyright.PENANATErwzOMAOd
"I think I've an idea," I1158Please respect copyright.PENANAv3sn1y0SJa
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going1158Please respect copyright.PENANAHLWsx0sqTd
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAODNTkTtJqf
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAe3E3ycei2F
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAtVeZMSrK9d
I rolled my eyes. I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAudhmmc2Sib
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself1158Please respect copyright.PENANAKkXJtPaSok
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAFZkzH5SXaL
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAt2mFLhc4nJ
"Because I'm smart 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAAO3iVcfqfX
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6DjoUsBjT2
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAU5ikwwxKkO
Mino and TOP smiled at 1158Please respect copyright.PENANADhPaI4oWUm
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4qftlxnpXe
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAEXkf8lgydD
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.1158Please respect copyright.PENANArkBlB4hyh7
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAQXyOsvIuv6
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAe8G3yswoZT

raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."1158Please respect copyright.PENANA01pS8LvwNC
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAuwkcO8Yw5e
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAmaUVyafPK2
"You guys go right now 1158Please respect copyright.PENANARy4XaD2znX
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAspatHZwrJg
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAKNDAzMXCYA
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAUHbIHut5kY
"Because I need you around."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAAxIQ7sSOAZ
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAKzboFVIgkf
Seungyoon and his group 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAHsJkMhjG3z
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1fq8HV1Xmv
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAh0SmBkvPB5
for ten minutes.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAuvQhCh8e3X
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAEamm0FYdFX
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnkyhofi8Ta
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAJZQLzaWqXH
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAP48klXhdiU
"So if you guys are 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAvhnl3ZkGbN
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 1158Please respect copyright.PENANARTJFmdqY55
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAsViRHJj5Lu
"Why do you ask?" I asked.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAihfWl94VgU
"You guys can't just 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAbav0vpMcOQ
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAq1ahLuJ2g5
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 1158Please respect copyright.PENANARRxmwOjzKO
managers will find out what's going on."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAf2tiTINaxo
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1D9ThEhidr
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjZhl4xdvJs
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vq6OXVCoY
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAmCCkfZUOzL
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAySCbRIW8nB
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAlVdfRXSTne
The others quickly 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA9c9JvIdj0O
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnCzQkualZb
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAhyoYIlkrLG
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAV1UmjQhf1d
worried that they might have hit their heads.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAqrhKZThUnL
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAiBTekIQlYI
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGrD5UFr00Z
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAwALs6ZErQr
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAXbVclJOFWz
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA6De3W6A0Fr
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"1158Please respect copyright.PENANAUiZVjGGvmK
As soon as I turned 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAYT0HUpIbRV
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the1158Please respect copyright.PENANAXJzCT8Zo7L
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAtTtXjCPYTx
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAMDRhCwlueY
behind me paused ready for the worst.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAWX1wMXQgb9
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.1158Please respect copyright.PENANA4NncihVaU4
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."1158Please respect copyright.PENANAxkvubGfHcY
"Well, this day just got1158Please respect copyright.PENANApyNGpCEPXD
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGettGjjfif
it. I couldn't blame him for that.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAZCEZNTNQXm
Coming out of the 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGO2NgPUIQn
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAtzDRVbxLaH
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 1158Please respect copyright.PENANAnP9yHiYwBh
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAmM4bMHHLlX
I felt like I had stood 1158Please respect copyright.PENANA1McyU7R36x
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged1158Please respect copyright.PENANAGcA0OJoeww
me on the shoulder to get my attention.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAjdFW4KP33g
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAkbvCGrzIYH
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.1158Please respect copyright.PENANAbBaDqj5O4G
