Meeting WINNER the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAlJKDdq1UQ7
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 754Please respect copyright.PENANAKPmYxxLBmj
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 754Please respect copyright.PENANA5kLiC14eUP
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 754Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7YlzWfuKR
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 754Please respect copyright.PENANAxfRIIhYQHV
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.754Please respect copyright.PENANALcwThes7DG
With the little time we 754Please respect copyright.PENANA8eyZQQSH0f
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again754Please respect copyright.PENANA2jSQTlZa7k
as we all got to know each other.754Please respect copyright.PENANAC7KlJrN3HJ
Seungyoon, the leader 754Please respect copyright.PENANAelm9HvFh1J
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 754Please respect copyright.PENANAh1m1r7QXMi
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a754Please respect copyright.PENANA5dVHPPhZjy
fun and nice person to be around with.754Please respect copyright.PENANAM8YRmhktQ5
Then there is Mino, who 754Please respect copyright.PENANAjcLBIL1Old
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for754Please respect copyright.PENANA5xPHV6QgD8
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 754Please respect copyright.PENANA4aQI7R2lwn
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.754Please respect copyright.PENANAv72TsBuuw7
As for Jinwoo and 754Please respect copyright.PENANAifKb1L3BCn
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.754Please respect copyright.PENANAPgDdj3JiPu
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 754Please respect copyright.PENANAzMcxof3cU0
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 754Please respect copyright.PENANArTdZClnjpQ
in Korea.754Please respect copyright.PENANAmgndX8SQYE
As for Seunghoon, I 754Please respect copyright.PENANA55V4YTfVtq
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking754Please respect copyright.PENANAv2pXK2DbYT
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 754Please respect copyright.PENANA3AZkr3SUAP
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.754Please respect copyright.PENANACZ8Gb0AOF1
Before they left, we 754Please respect copyright.PENANAcSyybNWa8h
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 754Please respect copyright.PENANA08QQjUIP70
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 754Please respect copyright.PENANALi6XPeAM3s
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 754Please respect copyright.PENANAlY1rJGugHb
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done754Please respect copyright.PENANAGqywpnB4h1
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 754Please respect copyright.PENANA8O1eBEn59s
place?754Please respect copyright.PENANAFJbeh2y7pJ
I already had that part 754Please respect copyright.PENANAJtoP3c4dKr
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 754Please respect copyright.PENANATP8118JEpo
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 754Please respect copyright.PENANAZiYBlb5JAr
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 754Please respect copyright.PENANAUIgnXor9tW
wouldn't have to break a sweat.754Please respect copyright.PENANA8NFy7SXEA0
Right now, this very 754Please respect copyright.PENANAs0U8CFOIt5
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 754Please respect copyright.PENANAShy0YnGPOH
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 754Please respect copyright.PENANAq3apGnSBZJ
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee754Please respect copyright.PENANAxO1EKhJZix
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 754Please respect copyright.PENANA0J1HP2Zp03
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 754Please respect copyright.PENANAFslb2URk8r
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.754Please respect copyright.PENANA7aY1MxGIxK
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.754Please respect copyright.PENANAMjVr9FoNjP
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANANdBnjgtrOB
"I'm tired of sleeping,"754Please respect copyright.PENANAzxoqs7QHhe
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 754Please respect copyright.PENANAlhAOTlTf5j
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 754Please respect copyright.PENANAAn25WCbhc2
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.754Please respect copyright.PENANA9R7j9Rg1S2
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.754Please respect copyright.PENANAKCP8hY1jF2
"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."754Please respect copyright.PENANAtDhi0aJ4Jq
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.754Please respect copyright.PENANAwLW7DbdpGN
"You know, going for 754Please respect copyright.PENANA5MsMabNjuj
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 754Please respect copyright.PENANAEwXbO0tmn5
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 754Please respect copyright.PENANAyoZtvyOYIy
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 754Please respect copyright.PENANACoiIaqXOzH
we try to do what we're familiar with."754Please respect copyright.PENANATClpl2Dovh
"Mmmm, I guess you're 754Please respect copyright.PENANARBhh4QjCrz
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 754Please respect copyright.PENANAGjqwUuM0iV
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 754Please respect copyright.PENANAOFrZaSSb88
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."754Please respect copyright.PENANAKSfCynoVu3
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.754Please respect copyright.PENANAuRuWY6mr5c
"Yep," Collins nodded 754Please respect copyright.PENANA0JspzXCR6E
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 754Please respect copyright.PENANAat0n0STraJ
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 754Please respect copyright.PENANA4QUCt8Cg39
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 754Please respect copyright.PENANAd4tvFSVZmc
good now, will it?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAuXFJttQJUR
Wow. This was literally 754Please respect copyright.PENANAMmjAPCjDbI
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 754Please respect copyright.PENANApyEKHYsD1n
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.754Please respect copyright.PENANAgnmJvuyuNu
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.754Please respect copyright.PENANA5L9kQPNt1a
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.754Please respect copyright.PENANAqwhiXqCstW
I left the lounge at a 754Please respect copyright.PENANAZFuvaSFO2V
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 754Please respect copyright.PENANA98CiqyLUqG
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door754Please respect copyright.PENANAd7mG8ysXFi
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.754Please respect copyright.PENANAAXCMR1rZoD
Zoey sat up with a start754Please respect copyright.PENANAaBdom6eEbt
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 754Please respect copyright.PENANAiddpXkOeWV
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.754Please respect copyright.PENANAzhX7Fv7kPf
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"754Please respect copyright.PENANA30kVfLyJGG
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.754Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8bRl9gumI
At first she didn't say a754Please respect copyright.PENANA5gvgRytp35
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 754Please respect copyright.PENANAdN3VVaY4jv
looking at me with her eyes wide open.754Please respect copyright.PENANA96iv4QecT9
"What did you say?" she asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAJASmTyYYIF
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.754Please respect copyright.PENANAd3xFMMCLBx
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"754Please respect copyright.PENANA6lgzNerDZ8
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."754Please respect copyright.PENANA9J23uc2sTQ
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAaJf7zIihCH
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."754Please respect copyright.PENANAxoDuNWUGn6
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."754Please respect copyright.PENANASwpl6Kc6E5
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.754Please respect copyright.PENANAfnIrjG55pM
I went to wake up 754Please respect copyright.PENANAtYhDxwweFZ
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I754Please respect copyright.PENANAE0grGaAPJL
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.754Please respect copyright.PENANAJkueJfovR1
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAIACDL5w1iM
"I gave a reasonable 754Please respect copyright.PENANAfDeHXTyEgq
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 754Please respect copyright.PENANAACzfJ7pwvu
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAVuG8CjXZK4
I noticed Christine 754Please respect copyright.PENANA3zIrB9VOwb
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly754Please respect copyright.PENANAkJM5jJXItI
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 754Please respect copyright.PENANAF37vFnED28
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 754Please respect copyright.PENANAHhIibR4pUf
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.754Please respect copyright.PENANALIebauBRql
When we all had our bags754Please respect copyright.PENANADqQGFylqeM
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 754Please respect copyright.PENANA8GTCvGUrVu
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 754Please respect copyright.PENANAXdHDhfruim
looked at us.754Please respect copyright.PENANAiMCDoXC439
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.754Please respect copyright.PENANArlbENzWUoL
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."754Please respect copyright.PENANAZSPIlYRNLi
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.754Please respect copyright.PENANAU2mhtCyZ68
"I hate when you use my 754Please respect copyright.PENANAxOJUOkVarv
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 754Please respect copyright.PENANAbeZWpxj7NH
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."754Please respect copyright.PENANAHOXL3iMZSO
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."754Please respect copyright.PENANAp5J9eY3vCi
Collins rolled his eyes 754Please respect copyright.PENANArhZ75APTRW
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 754Please respect copyright.PENANA7UkfuGMUkD
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."754Please respect copyright.PENANABlLIQx5zi4
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAxHk08TzF3W
"I would really love to,754Please respect copyright.PENANARITXaQ1ipK
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass754Please respect copyright.PENANAjiqAtTBrzx
by at lunchtime to check on you."754Please respect copyright.PENANAjhsJpYFiZJ
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.754Please respect copyright.PENANAdrac5cw7tS
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.754Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8LlVsL6Io
"Nothing," said Christine.754Please respect copyright.PENANAAtOQuyf9XV
I noticed Mike give 754Please respect copyright.PENANArxPqufTQNT
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut754Please respect copyright.PENANAdrXIONlGFR
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 754Please respect copyright.PENANAAwjewhlsvt
going on.754Please respect copyright.PENANAWu9mJtAbc1
"It's just about the 754Please respect copyright.PENANA60oApQU32e
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 754Please respect copyright.PENANAiAg0MXlXuI
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 754Please respect copyright.PENANAja1luLx5XG
happened."754Please respect copyright.PENANAlWocuu8yuJ
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."754Please respect copyright.PENANAv8XrX1qdD8
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."754Please respect copyright.PENANAPHcE0nT8Yq
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.754Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4XTyMJmAt
When we arrived at YG, 754Please respect copyright.PENANADQgLVjlR3l
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 754Please respect copyright.PENANAd8eQXhzE8y
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.754Please respect copyright.PENANAJB7KKTUOBz
"I already informed the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAjbUkieVUVw
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 754Please respect copyright.PENANAIMDDa0E4c1
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"754Please respect copyright.PENANASKVKw8lW6e
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."754Please respect copyright.PENANAx4HcRdKJpx
"I know you will. See you later."754Please respect copyright.PENANAj18jNx0tTB
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.754Please respect copyright.PENANAd6drwzVhUf
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.754Please respect copyright.PENANALBecWKYnxQ
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.754Please respect copyright.PENANApzzW2sfAPO
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.754Please respect copyright.PENANAgMmiXFgD2E
"Careful, Zoey," I said 754Please respect copyright.PENANAnH8ZqRlGr5
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 754Please respect copyright.PENANA1kgNFo0yaE
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."754Please respect copyright.PENANA0apASvzdbK
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.754Please respect copyright.PENANAyjVAW4bMpO
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAdElCbB2IS8
"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.754Please respect copyright.PENANAXBIhdkt3ja
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.754Please respect copyright.PENANARTKNb29Sts
"No," I said as the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAFtnyJVXmQI
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 754Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6F8Ttql98
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 754Please respect copyright.PENANAsSIZPY1l95
studios.754Please respect copyright.PENANAY6wazd0MaN
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.754Please respect copyright.PENANAE1dCSa3Ibb
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."754Please respect copyright.PENANAGyQfaGLi3p
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."754Please respect copyright.PENANA09axP1NFH3
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.754Please respect copyright.PENANAlHJuvtfHHb
"That's different."754Please respect copyright.PENANAdIyzxuHBAW
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."754Please respect copyright.PENANARyUPXMvLmM
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"754Please respect copyright.PENANA1CkaFhDuFp
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."754Please respect copyright.PENANAIRwb6szB5O
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.754Please respect copyright.PENANA6SEkvsQR5v
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.754Please respect copyright.PENANArhbglNaTmD
It was so much fun 754Please respect copyright.PENANAPp4nXkbL9D
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 754Please respect copyright.PENANAVVLxHq5pkC
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 754Please respect copyright.PENANAcyKDbS1ItT
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.754Please respect copyright.PENANA8LdHLwMrEz
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.754Please respect copyright.PENANAvT2IE9gfzZ
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.754Please respect copyright.PENANA1bUgmIBw8Z
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."754Please respect copyright.PENANAJcPqzrS0o2
"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."754Please respect copyright.PENANAXfYFsZY8xR
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAKLda9qeYcg
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.754Please respect copyright.PENANAmyNxcqg9dV
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.754Please respect copyright.PENANAQ77Vz7FEZN
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."754Please respect copyright.PENANAPDpIJuroFk
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."754Please respect copyright.PENANAXeNx22vOFO
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."754Please respect copyright.PENANA4FL1RPBdgJ
"Come on, Zoey," I 754Please respect copyright.PENANARQBMdwMFQo
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 754Please respect copyright.PENANAHCWY3vf51n
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."754Please respect copyright.PENANAamD7k4Blch
"What song?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAbBeMJhT78q
I didn't answer when I 754Please respect copyright.PENANAIlmZUYHmyV
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 754Please respect copyright.PENANAqs3claI4Ou
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAiuw6ap5NYy
pill soon started to play.754Please respect copyright.PENANASGeTtEAf99
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.754Please respect copyright.PENANAp7fzljyFaz
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.754Please respect copyright.PENANAb7jsXkQkI7
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.754Please respect copyright.PENANAGFupb1YWNW
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.754Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ls43160Ly
It's been a while since I754Please respect copyright.PENANACxps4e64a9
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 754Please respect copyright.PENANAsK8LglmXpa
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 754Please respect copyright.PENANAyshMa2HCp5
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.754Please respect copyright.PENANAZB494XRrkM
At the end of it, the 754Please respect copyright.PENANADjsZRF43xv
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 754Please respect copyright.PENANAJAXij2IZT6
our moves synchronising with one another.754Please respect copyright.PENANAC2LAZ4mf6R
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.754Please respect copyright.PENANAOp6i1eDcHB
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."754Please respect copyright.PENANAmCgLsFYSWI
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.754Please respect copyright.PENANANZqfovKloG
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.754Please respect copyright.PENANAH54A3Fs1J4
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAQfVKxVRn9C
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."754Please respect copyright.PENANAWjyeze0vVa
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."754Please respect copyright.PENANAmAgOtilxsF
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.754Please respect copyright.PENANASdy5eYAqsr
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.754Please respect copyright.PENANAMUkqVyViOi
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANA0YVHTQY5gh
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.754Please respect copyright.PENANAStJT5gXHFU
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAXUEgV1yKR5
Mino and Seunghoon both 754Please respect copyright.PENANAsObRaOU7lM
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 754Please respect copyright.PENANAVEXZ12JqSQ
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.754Please respect copyright.PENANAGQoDD4XDR3
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.754Please respect copyright.PENANA2IUR4BOAnw
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.754Please respect copyright.PENANAvkund2kFU3
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."754Please respect copyright.PENANA5IQ3r7uwDk
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.754Please respect copyright.PENANA9mt6fx8hLu
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAxTHv1aQoZv
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 754Please respect copyright.PENANAPV1Qugwpgp
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."754Please respect copyright.PENANAkOAulBr0TE
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.754Please respect copyright.PENANA13qutuWAWT
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.754Please respect copyright.PENANAqoZuegu6Kp
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ0sNUm41n
I nudged my head to the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAZzssOiEJqP
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 754Please respect copyright.PENANAEFxE4I4tO5
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the754Please respect copyright.PENANA3BW2MpJ0Z9
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.754Please respect copyright.PENANACUhw4MdWtF
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.754Please respect copyright.PENANAvzZxVUQdEz
Seunghoon lips were 754Please respect copyright.PENANAA278PrhoC2
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was754Please respect copyright.PENANARJM9v02xuU
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose754Please respect copyright.PENANANAWyW8RiXK
focus.754Please respect copyright.PENANAP3WQnbmx2J
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.754Please respect copyright.PENANADCG3K5tYrB
"The others might, but I754Please respect copyright.PENANAw9Rwpy1fJJ
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going754Please respect copyright.PENANAImTwyGeH1Q
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 754Please respect copyright.PENANABRFssWyRb6
when TOP came to pick me up?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAWlPcduE63V
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."754Please respect copyright.PENANA3OhvyhoGiI
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"754Please respect copyright.PENANATf4IKQbnD8
He again took a step closer. "Yes."754Please respect copyright.PENANAQOqjbgeSvd
Well, that made sense 754Please respect copyright.PENANApP5T2rsAK6
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 754Please respect copyright.PENANAWXYUh4QL8F
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 754Please respect copyright.PENANAQldr93lROT
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 754Please respect copyright.PENANAvWEUa4vnLc
seen.754Please respect copyright.PENANAO8jEykzGPI
I hadn't realised it 754Please respect copyright.PENANAZAnI06H3ET
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking754Please respect copyright.PENANAK6Ta6fLkrO
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 754Please respect copyright.PENANAXuThDy8U6o
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 754Please respect copyright.PENANAfmZGFjTPbp
uncomfortable.754Please respect copyright.PENANAGsClabRVJ1
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.754Please respect copyright.PENANAPoACYsswuy
"Well, yes," he 754Please respect copyright.PENANA0CEkWFA0Tq
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 754Please respect copyright.PENANAkzJswYf8vi
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."754Please respect copyright.PENANA0UTZcjukTM
"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."754Please respect copyright.PENANAiVWreD3dFI
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.754Please respect copyright.PENANACaimovfkJ4
I blushed and I was a 754Please respect copyright.PENANAgoOpnEKH4I
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 754Please respect copyright.PENANAHhvVE7tFqQ
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 754Please respect copyright.PENANA336WVbT9an
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 754Please respect copyright.PENANASmICeZRXZr
celebrities.754Please respect copyright.PENANAB7xlKiN4Tp
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAvpycalK9UQ
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.754Please respect copyright.PENANAxYTXmr2AMB
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."754Please respect copyright.PENANA3l2wUm1Ktf
"No, they don't," I lied754Please respect copyright.PENANAmAD3atFklX
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 754Please respect copyright.PENANA1PltkFFpVp
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 754Please respect copyright.PENANA7TTHbpRvhT
others had arrived.754Please respect copyright.PENANAw3OyJ2LSn4
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.754Please respect copyright.PENANA3JmbHAqbFf
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.754Please respect copyright.PENANAjts5fEcCeW
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.754Please respect copyright.PENANAndaqccQAaF
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAUUPPcxgiQV
"Awesome," I replied.754Please respect copyright.PENANA5XFakN4X0J
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.754Please respect copyright.PENANAqQbLUaevEN
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.754Please respect copyright.PENANA3HYbSMi263
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.754Please respect copyright.PENANA2e1uNWNGB2
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.754Please respect copyright.PENANAYKJ2AnZjKJ
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.754Please respect copyright.PENANAGjLMkxgt3D
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.754Please respect copyright.PENANAU7Dkq9kHma
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."754Please respect copyright.PENANAtcT9dXNQzQ
"And besides, you and I 754Please respect copyright.PENANAJsXj96UN0D
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 754Please respect copyright.PENANASC78gvYUck
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 754Please respect copyright.PENANA2uEJX2hk4o
and Seunghoon showed up."754Please respect copyright.PENANAtUW6rqSMu6
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.754Please respect copyright.PENANAcSw3M0Jr2M
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.754Please respect copyright.PENANAVVISDcWCoU
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."754Please respect copyright.PENANAmYeOR6KmOT
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.754Please respect copyright.PENANAsGU7eIItyn
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.754Please respect copyright.PENANAv44kdI07Ua
Apparently, he wasn't 754Please respect copyright.PENANAwz85QW20eS
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all754Please respect copyright.PENANAeGqzvlD71s
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that754Please respect copyright.PENANA3Sr3a6cp4Y
just made him look even more adorable.754Please respect copyright.PENANAq5VghbIiHl
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.754Please respect copyright.PENANA71FDQ8BSes
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."754Please respect copyright.PENANAA1gYwx3J9W
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.754Please respect copyright.PENANAYYrmZLLm6U
"Yes!" I heard the four 754Please respect copyright.PENANAdxMWQFbTS9
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 754Please respect copyright.PENANAPgUsC8mpr7
at the track list. Then, something came to me.754Please respect copyright.PENANADaqr1bulBM
"Change of plans, Zoey,"754Please respect copyright.PENANAog1sga41nu
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want754Please respect copyright.PENANAaDO9ITpwyC
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."754Please respect copyright.PENANAQcSxo2aZDy
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."754Please respect copyright.PENANA0iXYvwz91u
"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."754Please respect copyright.PENANA3CVB5BaccV
"This just got interesting," said Mino.754Please respect copyright.PENANAsN6PtWYtk5
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAcOC8bYU4se
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."754Please respect copyright.PENANAJAL4CqCFXC
"Taeyang is going to 754Please respect copyright.PENANAS8M9ZiJP81
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 754Please respect copyright.PENANA8r8n1v75Py
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."754Please respect copyright.PENANALP2u4Rc8Sr
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."754Please respect copyright.PENANA7ueKXOTzAy
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.754Please respect copyright.PENANASjKWsCdae9
I tapped the track on my754Please respect copyright.PENANAhyRc7qpaSA
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 754Please respect copyright.PENANAYLmiQ6UGLW
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.754Please respect copyright.PENANAFbfoOaimVz
When the song started, I754Please respect copyright.PENANAkYyjDJY8Xb
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 754Please respect copyright.PENANAWztuSwzsBm
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 754Please respect copyright.PENANARbvJPDDzvB
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 754Please respect copyright.PENANA46huf22iG5
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to754Please respect copyright.PENANAGAcUCeF33T
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 754Please respect copyright.PENANAmoBW85GP47
doing a pretty good with the moves too.754Please respect copyright.PENANAqffNf08tJB
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.754Please respect copyright.PENANAfD66XRGy3O
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.754Please respect copyright.PENANAk0K8hvw6oT
"Whenever it came to the754Please respect copyright.PENANAP9QFORQxle
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 754Please respect copyright.PENANA26ttR9zwP7
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."754Please respect copyright.PENANAoHcRzlqhsq
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."754Please respect copyright.PENANArJ3sVzeICb
"Thanks, guys," I said.754Please respect copyright.PENANAJrOCVXm5mB
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.754Please respect copyright.PENANA7xktYNEyD4
"Now, coming to my 754Please respect copyright.PENANAbK7sYU7Gyj
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 754Please respect copyright.PENANAf6mf3sfXlM
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 754Please respect copyright.PENANAwF2mtE1CpJ
think is a better dancer?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAo8UGP6mLEu
"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."754Please respect copyright.PENANAC2jmDeVaFA
"Why?" Zoey asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANA4shQmu2Nre
"I think you and I both 754Please respect copyright.PENANAW6ZC8JDnTV
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 754Please respect copyright.PENANAd2PkXTd3QN
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 754Please respect copyright.PENANAx7q7vhfCvr
That counts for something, right?"754Please respect copyright.PENANA9tN4Fx4AE0
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."754Please respect copyright.PENANAH7iCrfMk9w
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."754Please respect copyright.PENANAOU7Ao4kyJZ
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.754Please respect copyright.PENANAAwwX5mzgJT
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAVfjNKDF69T
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAOiVHEPQ7MA
"Well, ya." Mike 754Please respect copyright.PENANAs01s2naQEl
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 754Please respect copyright.PENANAcxDNEiGlTN
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 754Please respect copyright.PENANAAAHR2JoqS6
sentence as he looked at Zoey.754Please respect copyright.PENANADqXH8IFDL0
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."754Please respect copyright.PENANAeKOv7CnUVq
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.754Please respect copyright.PENANAYTaCtLjVZw
"I also think it will be754Please respect copyright.PENANAL1LNMAgAVI
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 754Please respect copyright.PENANAlpRdX9VB65
obviously bring out a better opinion."754Please respect copyright.PENANA961CZw9TDp
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.754Please respect copyright.PENANAMvHpBclfeV
"Count me out of it," I 754Please respect copyright.PENANAArQNjC4KN2
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 754Please respect copyright.PENANAMewnCszeHh
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."754Please respect copyright.PENANAAXSOlDVLwW
"Fine, I'll create a 754Please respect copyright.PENANAIu0GD5TyN6
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how754Please respect copyright.PENANACoYQA8KTgr
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though754Please respect copyright.PENANAQt1SULCTfF
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."754Please respect copyright.PENANAvup0lfPZbP
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."754Please respect copyright.PENANAHmS2oRthdo
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."754Please respect copyright.PENANA8H5y2An5ob
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.754Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ7C1pLXew
Zoey and Mike soon got 754Please respect copyright.PENANAVGOlKzBqkL
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 754Please respect copyright.PENANA6g7Vkon05h
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 754Please respect copyright.PENANAJlcJTaMyW3
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance754Please respect copyright.PENANAMfoqB635mu
battle.754Please respect copyright.PENANAAxXWdUPgaX
I got my phone and the 754Please respect copyright.PENANA6aj2yxQbEm
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 754Please respect copyright.PENANAFrZtlYOp6Z
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.754Please respect copyright.PENANAOlOQ1ljNRt
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.754Please respect copyright.PENANA4URycVqtxK
I turned to look at him 754Please respect copyright.PENANAIhbxbxoqbl
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 754Please respect copyright.PENANAsBE2kpsqfL
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 754Please respect copyright.PENANAZU6noXWlFb
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 754Please respect copyright.PENANAIPSbQPCsFi
smile if they were to look at him.754Please respect copyright.PENANAdUsZLinE4S
"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."754Please respect copyright.PENANAE2O3i1tlRy
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.754Please respect copyright.PENANAiBgwlvQPa7
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."754Please respect copyright.PENANAl1tV8qG1mt
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."754Please respect copyright.PENANArwsjkaMyEv
"You're right about that."754Please respect copyright.PENANA63ExVrEbO4
I looked behind me with a754Please respect copyright.PENANAEmhXzp3dQE
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 754Please respect copyright.PENANAgtQRAEju6G
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 754Please respect copyright.PENANAW8OWZjXT64
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 754Please respect copyright.PENANAaZFCXSOYeh
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.754Please respect copyright.PENANAsDpIyakOYG
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 754Please respect copyright.PENANAm9ZciYP44I
"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."754Please respect copyright.PENANABRKEHAxOF6
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAwM7GL3CBVY
"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."754Please respect copyright.PENANABmlVpM4bFE
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."754Please respect copyright.PENANAZjMes15pwl
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."754Please respect copyright.PENANAZlY65nf9tN
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.754Please respect copyright.PENANApChdLiQEkM
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.754Please respect copyright.PENANAQjvHZ9W6Eh
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAzuKy0HHHqK
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."754Please respect copyright.PENANAlz1GmHKx5A
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAZvWq8Jum4u
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."754Please respect copyright.PENANAvrQs4d3dnY
"I sure hope so," I 754Please respect copyright.PENANAmudLW65bcw
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAzm9njyW9WU
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."754Please respect copyright.PENANAzM64bebMHS
"What about those two?" 754Please respect copyright.PENANAWFJTkQ7Aw7
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 754Please respect copyright.PENANAzg8Lc7LnX0
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 754Please respect copyright.PENANADtAiMd4NQd
soon.754Please respect copyright.PENANAdWnsrKVof8
"They will notice when 754Please respect copyright.PENANAloAvSL7C4B
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 754Please respect copyright.PENANAu7RavvECaI
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAZR2hAjuYR7
"Sure," he said with a smile.754Please respect copyright.PENANA74BAxyHVmS
Christine, Daniel and I 754Please respect copyright.PENANAeOwM8F1vOg
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 754Please respect copyright.PENANAHb44Kc5POF
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.754Please respect copyright.PENANAiYasFqGTsE
Twenty minutes later, I 754Please respect copyright.PENANAu0BVd8vUpF
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 754Please respect copyright.PENANAIgUqiYafwt
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 754Please respect copyright.PENANAdrR8E5kKcP
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 754Please respect copyright.PENANAT0Yn09Lq6l
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 754Please respect copyright.PENANAD8X5F45t0s
in the shower room, still patching herself up.754Please respect copyright.PENANAjxvukgty57
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.754Please respect copyright.PENANAOnlZRrtF09
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."754Please respect copyright.PENANAsRmGyZv0qY
"Why? Anything special?"754Please respect copyright.PENANABXS8LUXxre
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.754Please respect copyright.PENANACmWE2FiquJ
"Oh, nothing," I stared 754Please respect copyright.PENANAInE7EdKbyr
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 754Please respect copyright.PENANAm8AoBk3D8C
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 754Please respect copyright.PENANAiR0BcNgSqX
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."754Please respect copyright.PENANAz15Wo0XOwI
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.754Please respect copyright.PENANAhaWxqbarT1
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.754Please respect copyright.PENANA5cKREK7GE9
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.754Please respect copyright.PENANAfy0YgQX5NY
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.754Please respect copyright.PENANAGz1ENTitVw
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."754Please respect copyright.PENANAzhpKO5s7Gu
"What are you talking about?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAfBQxq1ypvz
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"754Please respect copyright.PENANA24if4Jqq5J
Christine's mouth fell 754Please respect copyright.PENANA47PdlNV9wi
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 754Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ2MrBR3cu
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.754Please respect copyright.PENANAahiNzd4VIy
"No, I don't," she said.754Please respect copyright.PENANAIMsyEH6IL4
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 754Please respect copyright.PENANA4cF7QUnnkL
do like him but only as a fan girl."754Please respect copyright.PENANA7dmc2KxHXn
"Please, I saw the way 754Please respect copyright.PENANAgqY6Xactp8
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that754Please respect copyright.PENANAOddVPCKeGe
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."754Please respect copyright.PENANAClysavPARA
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 754Please respect copyright.PENANAw8vrIl6Wor
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of754Please respect copyright.PENANApCjS7mpMjn
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 754Please respect copyright.PENANAr43R4l2Mkc
more."754Please respect copyright.PENANAk1wrHCaE35
"Ya, right," I said as I754Please respect copyright.PENANATJ1Ce4bulW
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 754Please respect copyright.PENANAFcuFHvi7Ga
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 754Please respect copyright.PENANAkhCSgUwAdm
weird look on your face."754Please respect copyright.PENANAswTgKKwjvn
"What weird look?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAU5exwdUuEb
"The jealous one."754Please respect copyright.PENANAE0lq0IKmuC
"Spare me the drama, Sam."754Please respect copyright.PENANAXDt9Nqijr9
"If Zoey was the one 754Please respect copyright.PENANA8hbcfQGKiD
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 754Please respect copyright.PENANAdt8RRV1boQ
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 754Please respect copyright.PENANAjvxsq47iQc
Jinwoo."754Please respect copyright.PENANAUbkCKU6umT
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.754Please respect copyright.PENANA64YaSwE67p
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"754Please respect copyright.PENANA0nBP2jynHU
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."754Please respect copyright.PENANAzU26qub3te
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.754Please respect copyright.PENANAGHKCMZLM3n
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.754Please respect copyright.PENANA7BlmIvaLY8
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.754Please respect copyright.PENANAmb0562SF3s
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.754Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4xiOaCTP3
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.754Please respect copyright.PENANAB2JBLWWTbf
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAWYpHd8Xp4b
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.754Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y9KZrt0AV
Mike gave Christine a 754Please respect copyright.PENANA7bgooPbHRY
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 754Please respect copyright.PENANASr3qgDh37S
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't754Please respect copyright.PENANA8I7gNhMTAV
wrong about that.754Please respect copyright.PENANA2oQ6oEd21l
We decided to go back to754Please respect copyright.PENANAsTpmv6fNWS
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 754Please respect copyright.PENANA82lqEtBLVh
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,754Please respect copyright.PENANAdUTc72sCSb
this happened:754Please respect copyright.PENANAOem7mcnPyl
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.754Please respect copyright.PENANAYFeuzNqPDu
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.754Please respect copyright.PENANAG1dzKDJ6t2
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.754Please respect copyright.PENANA2xTje29rPA
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."754Please respect copyright.PENANAePNSimDzMc
I wanted to frown at him754Please respect copyright.PENANAZv87ZfSrZv
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 754Please respect copyright.PENANA62NLDYmyMH
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.754Please respect copyright.PENANAYBUWqc055h
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.754Please respect copyright.PENANAx6taI71VcN
I looked at Jinwoo and I754Please respect copyright.PENANAWqkuAHKFX2
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 754Please respect copyright.PENANA76l6IDQKAM
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 754Please respect copyright.PENANAAFbeV2Kk18
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.754Please respect copyright.PENANA4lIxACGVPt
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.754Please respect copyright.PENANAAxvOZvmG7P
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAERFDVjdzYG
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.754Please respect copyright.PENANAYg2jkOZz5H
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."754Please respect copyright.PENANAcsMC3aApoI
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAZSQUHfTjMF
"Good idea. Let's go."754Please respect copyright.PENANAiIYfuOXCbx
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAs0FSWfqib4
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.754Please respect copyright.PENANAEns6Kln2YQ
Before he could say 754Please respect copyright.PENANAMGAtmmoVYe
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I754Please respect copyright.PENANAoxkrHyIJQs
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped754Please respect copyright.PENANAESEgPhVNIb
out of the room, he was snickering.754Please respect copyright.PENANAT9EHdwfxEY
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.754Please respect copyright.PENANAvno62FoZiy
"Just because I'm his 754Please respect copyright.PENANAGCFKKGjMbS
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being754Please respect copyright.PENANAPbaJRtlyih
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAQtDI8HSvas
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."754Please respect copyright.PENANAdP2HlZWW9F
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAInKmRLB0zl
"Actually, it was only 754Please respect copyright.PENANANX9IJofGP3
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 754Please respect copyright.PENANAnJXFHu1S41
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."754Please respect copyright.PENANAkzvp8WeK8k
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.754Please respect copyright.PENANALF7XEULKXR
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.754Please respect copyright.PENANADTewSHimG3
When we got to the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAikRfNOngu2
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 754Please respect copyright.PENANATqKKiGJp5j
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 754Please respect copyright.PENANAuqrTWY7SUw
inside the elevator.754Please respect copyright.PENANALvnbG9I3nb
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.754Please respect copyright.PENANAor4Aed0OM9
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."754Please respect copyright.PENANAw0jaxlZOvP
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.754Please respect copyright.PENANAxwj0OGe3C5
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.754Please respect copyright.PENANArTUGqBccXS
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."754Please respect copyright.PENANAr3uV2tt6zX
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.754Please respect copyright.PENANA4I0AXiy4wi
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAWgvD4yY1xg
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."754Please respect copyright.PENANAqFxggfprOM
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."754Please respect copyright.PENANAgJBwQBjHgt
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."754Please respect copyright.PENANA8tDXckVGjV
"Well, if you're 754Please respect copyright.PENANAHrpptnWGGX
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 754Please respect copyright.PENANALTajXDfGAG
his face and I could tell something was up.754Please respect copyright.PENANAYufxEpfYx9
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAXymZPLxTEU
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."754Please respect copyright.PENANAMnPFdKhnra
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"754Please respect copyright.PENANApVKYzcFPWp
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."754Please respect copyright.PENANAMjkg4thiMy
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.754Please respect copyright.PENANA25PDVo3Cc8
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."754Please respect copyright.PENANApwTqtJiW8E
"I came to see you guys 754Please respect copyright.PENANAFWjaDxyqzY
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 754Please respect copyright.PENANAEhP7zhEKFv
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."754Please respect copyright.PENANAfdf1dFHh6w
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."754Please respect copyright.PENANAsGmXuRhQba
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."754Please respect copyright.PENANApIrpzvSJYv
"Okay, then you go and 754Please respect copyright.PENANA3O7niBKtGJ
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino754Please respect copyright.PENANAdkmsNXsCd2
to get Zoey as fast as we could."754Please respect copyright.PENANAzJu0fEKh9s
"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.754Please respect copyright.PENANARoVHC7SMo8
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.754Please respect copyright.PENANAK2gg9nWG40
We headed downstairs to 754Please respect copyright.PENANA3jeohpNOvo
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 754Please respect copyright.PENANAdpVpsHAt9u
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.754Please respect copyright.PENANA5XAXoxvXQ4
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"754Please respect copyright.PENANANRGwRC76LN
"Trying to look good," 754Please respect copyright.PENANADOI46dSVEH
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 754Please respect copyright.PENANAAQKlyNyakv
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 754Please respect copyright.PENANAxMlmLLxBud
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."754Please respect copyright.PENANA2a2RLrvYid
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.754Please respect copyright.PENANAyIMS6Jj40E
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.754Please respect copyright.PENANACknwgqntS6
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."754Please respect copyright.PENANAZwbtBQYIu3
"You're kidding, right?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAlNyNHXK1nK
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."754Please respect copyright.PENANA3txZ5TS9Ex
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAMHrMEtVkWr
"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."754Please respect copyright.PENANAjUnpgzxOuV
Just as I turned around 754Please respect copyright.PENANANTB3ZJPoE3
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 754Please respect copyright.PENANAj3carDz5XF
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 754Please respect copyright.PENANA8XayiIV4Ti
the the floor we were on.754Please respect copyright.PENANAewgmaax640
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.754Please respect copyright.PENANAmqESNJgvpQ
Just as we turned round a754Please respect copyright.PENANAekkZZuQFeO
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 754Please respect copyright.PENANASutr3Ojkci
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 754Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ly9XQN2rL
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 754Please respect copyright.PENANASYq5J3Of8z
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.754Please respect copyright.PENANARCyPVp99kD
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8LVIBPPgT
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.754Please respect copyright.PENANAPDUIqOsVCR
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAyloq4ibsOJ
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."754Please respect copyright.PENANAkmQQWmsFFj
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAqJg6g77lgu
I didn't say anything as754Please respect copyright.PENANA9sMYmLyWgQ
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAs5RRVDYqJT
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 754Please respect copyright.PENANAmHvBUlUZiO
Hyun-suk's voice.754Please respect copyright.PENANA2c6Y7th2lS
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.754Please respect copyright.PENANAvp16C6cQmR
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.754Please respect copyright.PENANAuYR9yUtPBp
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.754Please respect copyright.PENANAWBBBrIOhxK
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.754Please respect copyright.PENANAyrNvKxE2Cl
I checked around with my754Please respect copyright.PENANA30uV0SIhm1
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 754Please respect copyright.PENANA2HVA9XREOq
the light went on in the tiny room.754Please respect copyright.PENANAqDHMztf18P
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANApK6kFAPjpp
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.754Please respect copyright.PENANAnR64WtMaG5
I shook my head. "They are still there."754Please respect copyright.PENANA6zf8m0gaVN
Mino and Zoey both 754Please respect copyright.PENANA7KKUlIBrQn
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 754Please respect copyright.PENANAqvvq451SnA
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 754Please respect copyright.PENANA5KXdoFaVuL
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 754Please respect copyright.PENANAIjsGZnWhqh
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 754Please respect copyright.PENANATkoLLJaqmT
behind me.754Please respect copyright.PENANA2rQVnN6kUK
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.754Please respect copyright.PENANAMJPfIBYobI
"I think they are gone," I whispered.754Please respect copyright.PENANALdJJmGqe7g
"Try and check," Mino whispered.754Please respect copyright.PENANABslOb0y6Qk
I took hold of the door 754Please respect copyright.PENANALFUKPF5z94
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 754Please respect copyright.PENANA9MzroJUw8G
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of754Please respect copyright.PENANAoOqEJE1GBt
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.754Please respect copyright.PENANAV4l127I5VN
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.754Please respect copyright.PENANAP2YpCfsG90
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.754Please respect copyright.PENANAl3OGNIz7a8
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.754Please respect copyright.PENANAtuWyhG6Zom
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.754Please respect copyright.PENANApLQQOCCmd7
The three of us were 754Please respect copyright.PENANAZfSQOLYdrM
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 754Please respect copyright.PENANAPJz1TfVs7Y
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was754Please respect copyright.PENANA3K75q4MgIT
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 754Please respect copyright.PENANAnhrsk7EKEs
heard the phone ring.754Please respect copyright.PENANA2xVwgbNMzR
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.754Please respect copyright.PENANAJgr6wDzpNC
I quickly took the bag 754Please respect copyright.PENANAjKmOYQiEQ7
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 754Please respect copyright.PENANABgOUtt0VUK
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 754Please respect copyright.PENANAs6kidNsp5f
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 754Please respect copyright.PENANASDir1EJ86v
anything strange."754Please respect copyright.PENANAiQqXDVKPLQ
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANACusFZEqxD1
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."754Please respect copyright.PENANAX5bCNEsrwN
Mino and Zoey quickly 754Please respect copyright.PENANAvA00dlTNqV
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 754Please respect copyright.PENANAY1Ks2GHye0
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 754Please respect copyright.PENANAShQ2GKTQhQ
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 754Please respect copyright.PENANAC6sf6ABia5
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 754Please respect copyright.PENANAEUCJ71to32
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.754Please respect copyright.PENANAkvQIWmkYlb
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."754Please respect copyright.PENANA0vKQFPhXS0
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.754Please respect copyright.PENANAiz6BOZ6fpa
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."754Please respect copyright.PENANAGuM7FloQ42
I gave them a little 754Please respect copyright.PENANAsHjZ6HDstm
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 754Please respect copyright.PENANAghREGv1jP3
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 754Please respect copyright.PENANA7IthPTSvhs
the place.754Please respect copyright.PENANAo0THymv884
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAJihlf5Gwd4
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.754Please respect copyright.PENANAXGcBGhsFel
"I must say, I watched 754Please respect copyright.PENANAdKxQ6CmF1R
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 754Please respect copyright.PENANABYd4aFVJ2L
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 754Please respect copyright.PENANAUAVJ2Li4fd
black suit.754Please respect copyright.PENANAGWd32I4YEA
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.754Please respect copyright.PENANArZGK0adci4
"You really do have good manners," said other man.754Please respect copyright.PENANAy2VTOcxyhZ
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.754Please respect copyright.PENANA0LU5tqf7OL
"I always do my best," I said politely.754Please respect copyright.PENANAUPF1hFBB7K
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.754Please respect copyright.PENANARxWXaS0B91
I felt my eyes were 754Please respect copyright.PENANANskmwenhhO
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 754Please respect copyright.PENANAFyXShtg7Sf
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 754Please respect copyright.PENANA3qH9k1sVz7
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 754Please respect copyright.PENANAkc59YmT1X7
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.754Please respect copyright.PENANAaDAVCMQGJM
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"754Please respect copyright.PENANAMyKRSFwtVA
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me754Please respect copyright.PENANA0KQdIynflp
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 754Please respect copyright.PENANABNBYvjOQNo
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAOqAETNzoMD
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.754Please respect copyright.PENANA8yRoDwsurF
"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."754Please respect copyright.PENANAJihjolqmR7
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.754Please respect copyright.PENANADaIMBAxyuX
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.754Please respect copyright.PENANALrFqLYD4F6
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."754Please respect copyright.PENANAm780JG06qD
I smiled as I bowed my 754Please respect copyright.PENANAzPgLsYGExa
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 754Please respect copyright.PENANAo8AJC6eroQ
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 754Please respect copyright.PENANAba8n7wAEhu
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I754Please respect copyright.PENANAukGlpmpBZx
was until now.754Please respect copyright.PENANA0pktm0xBV6
I quickly ran to the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAi0pghttbEs
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 754Please respect copyright.PENANAH9fiiSedra
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 754Please respect copyright.PENANA5iekjgujew
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 754Please respect copyright.PENANA6cDunBHUuA
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 754Please respect copyright.PENANAkMZ5bClyFq
see.754Please respect copyright.PENANAR18N1tjvu6
"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.754Please respect copyright.PENANAuTLzb5DqX7
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."754Please respect copyright.PENANAgW6w7jrikY
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.754Please respect copyright.PENANAIPJhvuR8MF
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.754Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ7KNlizdh
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.754Please respect copyright.PENANAPwIlzmKcPE
"Because I missed you."754Please respect copyright.PENANAQUV6lGlvaH
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.754Please respect copyright.PENANAKYHZXhQS9d
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.754Please respect copyright.PENANAeFX1GdP9iI
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.754Please respect copyright.PENANAMm4oWl5w9S
When we reached the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAim55i7Awpr
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 754Please respect copyright.PENANAnxqtNI0U3g
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAxaed7pRGTa
lobby.754Please respect copyright.PENANA302FKOTvev
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.754Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Xm2yuLiW
"I think I've an idea," I754Please respect copyright.PENANA7C2AvovSTQ
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going754Please respect copyright.PENANAhdTUwV2Om8
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 754Please respect copyright.PENANA3MQlBfF999
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."754Please respect copyright.PENANADbBmpMprYR
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.754Please respect copyright.PENANA6rfvRnHFha
I rolled my eyes. I 754Please respect copyright.PENANASi8F1iktOR
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself754Please respect copyright.PENANAG2tVa88i50
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAuhJvNh7AG0
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.754Please respect copyright.PENANA6LL095ZBxJ
"Because I'm smart 754Please respect copyright.PENANAFXakPMtVbM
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such754Please respect copyright.PENANAkRlPrUKDZe
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAhNaDndGLqs
Mino and TOP smiled at 754Please respect copyright.PENANAUIzBi35rwo
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 754Please respect copyright.PENANAt3Ep8qlrwR
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 754Please respect copyright.PENANA7qmb4xTr5t
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.754Please respect copyright.PENANA4WJU8fCQCP
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."754Please respect copyright.PENANABMtrU5Vq74
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAA7j3A0OMM6
"If we don't take the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAUnGxNEWI7E
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 754Please respect copyright.PENANAyyMbdnzBiU
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."754Please respect copyright.PENANAZsk2MDWx9n
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.754Please respect copyright.PENANA4Wwve8qzde
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.754Please respect copyright.PENANAJJiRfSjtvq
"You guys go right now 754Please respect copyright.PENANAM2P4knRuSD
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 754Please respect copyright.PENANA00FGn8O3sp
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."754Please respect copyright.PENANAOqmKJorjHv
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.754Please respect copyright.PENANAYv1TX1fps7
"Because I need you around."754Please respect copyright.PENANAaFn0iI1vJL
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.754Please respect copyright.PENANA3uaujZJrZZ
Seungyoon and his group 754Please respect copyright.PENANA2TcCQN41lH
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 754Please respect copyright.PENANA2tfYvUbHRb
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 754Please respect copyright.PENANAeUhrVWG3Ft
for ten minutes.754Please respect copyright.PENANANeXhS7F8GL
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANABmXCcWeV1L
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.754Please respect copyright.PENANAHooDcB5U2A
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.754Please respect copyright.PENANAjBFFmMwXxO
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.754Please respect copyright.PENANAAmm8NYaI7I
"So if you guys are 754Please respect copyright.PENANA8fUKxnwp3j
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 754Please respect copyright.PENANAcXG453mbyp
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANASjHkJjKE7D
"Why do you ask?" I asked.754Please respect copyright.PENANAcORkc9YcO2
"You guys can't just 754Please respect copyright.PENANAqYyIbYkXib
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 754Please respect copyright.PENANARBhSX1knxb
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 754Please respect copyright.PENANASNoE2rRrbe
managers will find out what's going on."754Please respect copyright.PENANA5gw7CqbhGr
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.754Please respect copyright.PENANAgfvf02Rpuu
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.754Please respect copyright.PENANAoedO1sSjkP
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.754Please respect copyright.PENANAkkjBgDrjrG
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."754Please respect copyright.PENANAQzk5fST2DO
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."754Please respect copyright.PENANAJXflXEiUnP
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.754Please respect copyright.PENANAS8wulBjLRC
The others quickly 754Please respect copyright.PENANAT8u77SbGG5
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 754Please respect copyright.PENANAOBWCzSigUk
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 754Please respect copyright.PENANAuT3VGOm0Q9
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 754Please respect copyright.PENANAojgx3dkMSF
worried that they might have hit their heads.754Please respect copyright.PENANAqKx3mjYPTX
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.754Please respect copyright.PENANAgywbZ5HQ3d
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."754Please respect copyright.PENANA2V0VfGQaPi
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.754Please respect copyright.PENANAKclArQLgFx
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.754Please respect copyright.PENANAPUhrS3FM1n
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.754Please respect copyright.PENANAxVjMQwcyXc
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAu2D2Z6vckO
As soon as I turned 754Please respect copyright.PENANAAtpjv4zOif
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the754Please respect copyright.PENANAeIJPHvTEQc
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 754Please respect copyright.PENANAhuynwrf5uF
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 754Please respect copyright.PENANAyITEWV4iNI
behind me paused ready for the worst.754Please respect copyright.PENANAFaqxofDh1h
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.754Please respect copyright.PENANA708kPTMN0g
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."754Please respect copyright.PENANAkVjarxP6bZ
"Well, this day just got754Please respect copyright.PENANAL5ZG58MaNE
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about754Please respect copyright.PENANA0mt0nxROkz
it. I couldn't blame him for that.754Please respect copyright.PENANAQMOdWDLXnF
Coming out of the 754Please respect copyright.PENANAWmAt0jTmpJ
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 754Please respect copyright.PENANAxH4gv9xQr2
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 754Please respect copyright.PENANApdBmhI4epe
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.754Please respect copyright.PENANACP7qTjBWfz
I felt like I had stood 754Please respect copyright.PENANAqWIMfvac7x
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged754Please respect copyright.PENANAaidPWYf9Mn
me on the shoulder to get my attention.754Please respect copyright.PENANAHRPcUpnZa4
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.754Please respect copyright.PENANAyFllNEQzCx
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.754Please respect copyright.PENANAjBTZTYzvSN
