Meeting WINNER the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAWCUmOHC7wQ
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 757Please respect copyright.PENANAvUvQQNlTmt
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 757Please respect copyright.PENANARTYEvoscCv
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 757Please respect copyright.PENANAZCQEfA50SD
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 757Please respect copyright.PENANA3ybjLEcL83
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.757Please respect copyright.PENANAnmIrh19Akw
With the little time we 757Please respect copyright.PENANA9ytNeK8OhF
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again757Please respect copyright.PENANA4J1bhDOIAw
as we all got to know each other.757Please respect copyright.PENANAeyzBonDG7m
Seungyoon, the leader 757Please respect copyright.PENANAiP4MzOn0Oq
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 757Please respect copyright.PENANApVZ6epG6Fq
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a757Please respect copyright.PENANAVDm75vYmyH
fun and nice person to be around with.757Please respect copyright.PENANAgBj7IHp1KN
Then there is Mino, who 757Please respect copyright.PENANAgMhvXTvVyz
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for757Please respect copyright.PENANAZlbxqhgYH5
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 757Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4Y1kePpZY
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.757Please respect copyright.PENANAQYh0RzgGj3
As for Jinwoo and 757Please respect copyright.PENANA8gNiVYHA3e
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.757Please respect copyright.PENANAs9PXA577UV
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 757Please respect copyright.PENANA7lHrRwXwbB
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 757Please respect copyright.PENANAGsEstI0qbI
in Korea.757Please respect copyright.PENANAURzs2gUx0Z
As for Seunghoon, I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ8zbzMXWM
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking757Please respect copyright.PENANA6sI5l4jDkv
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 757Please respect copyright.PENANAUmK46k6RhJ
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.757Please respect copyright.PENANAhdM8nJc01m
Before they left, we 757Please respect copyright.PENANALpGi9uwqJT
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 757Please respect copyright.PENANAuoGqkWaAC8
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 757Please respect copyright.PENANAcetwvzssvr
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 757Please respect copyright.PENANACWxHJO7x6i
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done757Please respect copyright.PENANAtfC9I8OKDA
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 757Please respect copyright.PENANACjgxU24LLf
place?757Please respect copyright.PENANAoBCgkAyOMW
I already had that part 757Please respect copyright.PENANAMJEvTuUDn3
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 757Please respect copyright.PENANAZJKfmKQf8w
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 757Please respect copyright.PENANACz9X8Xe0XZ
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 757Please respect copyright.PENANA3uGGyW6aTZ
wouldn't have to break a sweat.757Please respect copyright.PENANAvJGQhyECuQ
Right now, this very 757Please respect copyright.PENANAP5YW9ZkYyy
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 757Please respect copyright.PENANA9hVBsTqpWc
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 757Please respect copyright.PENANAjwHKhYQ2tA
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee757Please respect copyright.PENANAqudsR8ZYck
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 757Please respect copyright.PENANAjYQ6f650NC
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 757Please respect copyright.PENANA65hPQj8inN
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.757Please respect copyright.PENANAQIUKitZH2N
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.757Please respect copyright.PENANANXTL2D5wS7
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANA28EJr3ji5Y
"I'm tired of sleeping,"757Please respect copyright.PENANA9bJxFcmoGG
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 757Please respect copyright.PENANArEGuEMSRBQ
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 757Please respect copyright.PENANAFKJzW1UEUH
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.757Please respect copyright.PENANAjikUMSSITo
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.757Please respect copyright.PENANAh0PuLI6q9J
"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."757Please respect copyright.PENANAiuUCkNIW9s
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.757Please respect copyright.PENANAtKXgBu1Lr9
"You know, going for 757Please respect copyright.PENANANeuOx1aPWG
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 757Please respect copyright.PENANA3eATFDbTbG
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 757Please respect copyright.PENANAo36fxXBbrQ
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 757Please respect copyright.PENANA9yoEMLoQXX
we try to do what we're familiar with."757Please respect copyright.PENANApSay4ccJH1
"Mmmm, I guess you're 757Please respect copyright.PENANAIiNWKMKhpR
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 757Please respect copyright.PENANAxKddDRVMoT
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 757Please respect copyright.PENANAIpjCEuwd0X
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."757Please respect copyright.PENANAZM2lrF9Lta
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.757Please respect copyright.PENANAf8SrH2njnC
"Yep," Collins nodded 757Please respect copyright.PENANAx7KTMK8VLv
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 757Please respect copyright.PENANA1mWmf5i70i
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 757Please respect copyright.PENANA7tWMfuwmC2
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 757Please respect copyright.PENANAfVe8uotBex
good now, will it?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAu0LfXDgPPe
Wow. This was literally 757Please respect copyright.PENANAskJkvUfhNj
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 757Please respect copyright.PENANAODPanCgVus
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.757Please respect copyright.PENANA1alMyqy5Si
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.757Please respect copyright.PENANAQgWEeIrvdb
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.757Please respect copyright.PENANAbt9YiZwTAr
I left the lounge at a 757Please respect copyright.PENANAfAIEDKg3ik
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 757Please respect copyright.PENANAZbtnVXMg3h
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door757Please respect copyright.PENANAUae64lGQ52
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.757Please respect copyright.PENANANc9rpQEKKS
Zoey sat up with a start757Please respect copyright.PENANAQoVSCfcHBV
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 757Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xss2Xr7rd
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.757Please respect copyright.PENANAsX1soC7Rk2
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"757Please respect copyright.PENANABsDQ9o4AnN
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.757Please respect copyright.PENANAP8aGs6Pz5s
At first she didn't say a757Please respect copyright.PENANAqYQIda4LUs
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 757Please respect copyright.PENANAqjjiBS7OMg
looking at me with her eyes wide open.757Please respect copyright.PENANAGV2OCsm9PS
"What did you say?" she asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAeltMzRYB6e
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.757Please respect copyright.PENANAfUyGkgYhk5
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAki062yqAzs
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."757Please respect copyright.PENANA01vfJZUYvO
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAAy4PYrNeIZ
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."757Please respect copyright.PENANAL5MYCjoV5B
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."757Please respect copyright.PENANAScRmhat3KF
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.757Please respect copyright.PENANApObxXoHJWV
I went to wake up 757Please respect copyright.PENANAKIjrXyPn94
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I757Please respect copyright.PENANAb4sR7ApaLE
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.757Please respect copyright.PENANAL8S4mKusO0
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAoeV5F6sIR8
"I gave a reasonable 757Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xan8g7omL
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 757Please respect copyright.PENANAXD3LLJ3U9b
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAfcYki7DfAO
I noticed Christine 757Please respect copyright.PENANA9LEuj5gwuI
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly757Please respect copyright.PENANAQU360L2Yql
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 757Please respect copyright.PENANA4rQ8AR1lxJ
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 757Please respect copyright.PENANAcRqyGSYeO7
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.757Please respect copyright.PENANAlcVP2UYTD6
When we all had our bags757Please respect copyright.PENANAw05yviPezb
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 757Please respect copyright.PENANAxO5QpIiYo7
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 757Please respect copyright.PENANABBdqcKOTcK
looked at us.757Please respect copyright.PENANA1iqOkXll6t
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.757Please respect copyright.PENANAgT0KJ5lqdd
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."757Please respect copyright.PENANAHxNutmWi51
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.757Please respect copyright.PENANAQFXU2pbf4N
"I hate when you use my 757Please respect copyright.PENANAopbca443cQ
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 757Please respect copyright.PENANAIPtKYLBJV6
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."757Please respect copyright.PENANAc1t7G6QPOc
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."757Please respect copyright.PENANALLDQod1OIH
Collins rolled his eyes 757Please respect copyright.PENANAtCjJqluiJp
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 757Please respect copyright.PENANAcLdTxOV0zz
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."757Please respect copyright.PENANAEndIhlE6lk
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAnlmRBKt797
"I would really love to,757Please respect copyright.PENANAmFsx4E8bYk
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass757Please respect copyright.PENANA7V8qzh5lFz
by at lunchtime to check on you."757Please respect copyright.PENANAV2zdZzqWps
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.757Please respect copyright.PENANAOnbpqRfJM0
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.757Please respect copyright.PENANACNbvchzDCi
"Nothing," said Christine.757Please respect copyright.PENANA8PIzolBoNy
I noticed Mike give 757Please respect copyright.PENANAwBzwP73uPp
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut757Please respect copyright.PENANASAoNEsOEFP
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 757Please respect copyright.PENANAy1odaNRASt
going on.757Please respect copyright.PENANAcSBSmuMY3t
"It's just about the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAm1w8etE0qi
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 757Please respect copyright.PENANAXpX7G94APT
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 757Please respect copyright.PENANAoxIF4GNDfX
happened."757Please respect copyright.PENANAx5eVIpZx6w
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."757Please respect copyright.PENANAymUDSmyuch
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."757Please respect copyright.PENANASV0HZYsbBP
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.757Please respect copyright.PENANANdUFHka5q2
When we arrived at YG, 757Please respect copyright.PENANA7z6TqIb10l
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 757Please respect copyright.PENANAu9VmSQoUe7
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.757Please respect copyright.PENANA1jrbcWntXD
"I already informed the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAxaXoTGROCc
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 757Please respect copyright.PENANAkK5EiFDZW4
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAUME6TGu6k6
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."757Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ71puN1Nh
"I know you will. See you later."757Please respect copyright.PENANA2SOobU12Bs
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.757Please respect copyright.PENANAnQN13zUnqS
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.757Please respect copyright.PENANAGpIqY6pH4U
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.757Please respect copyright.PENANAMS4mYqHak4
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.757Please respect copyright.PENANAP4EHyglGQr
"Careful, Zoey," I said 757Please respect copyright.PENANAJju3rTvN4p
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 757Please respect copyright.PENANA3tXoE6WHbI
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."757Please respect copyright.PENANA6llmn33WfF
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.757Please respect copyright.PENANAhgbfXyVoXn
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAxNTkHbdYmZ
"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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAitSaXvrdTy
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.757Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5zwEaqesJ
"No," I said as the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAdxOoRG7Coa
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 757Please respect copyright.PENANAW7jC91bPVm
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 757Please respect copyright.PENANAWvxhXgLKtz
studios.757Please respect copyright.PENANArRSOB4DXSo
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.757Please respect copyright.PENANApMt0TWkpVU
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."757Please respect copyright.PENANAnluI5sHjtY
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."757Please respect copyright.PENANAr5IYokUHHg
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.757Please respect copyright.PENANABxyv666Ca0
"That's different."757Please respect copyright.PENANAwYzPpWmlB9
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."757Please respect copyright.PENANAxAd6dq8cTf
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAzjTMACxSun
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."757Please respect copyright.PENANA1YxsRZLEdi
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.757Please respect copyright.PENANABcCFqaC6jM
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.757Please respect copyright.PENANAc8u23asMlc
It was so much fun 757Please respect copyright.PENANAwSfYZqI1fV
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 757Please respect copyright.PENANAbP6LQA5S9E
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 757Please respect copyright.PENANAkXSj5FKCzm
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.757Please respect copyright.PENANAAjIAmKqT7E
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.757Please respect copyright.PENANAC3QfKaOkQI
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.757Please respect copyright.PENANAJClE1Z13ON
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."757Please respect copyright.PENANAYEV8wfg1s0
"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."757Please respect copyright.PENANAjFNQ1bqjwJ
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAWfqE6BJX1M
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.757Please respect copyright.PENANARLQyM7EPdA
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.757Please respect copyright.PENANAuAnAQyDBQS
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."757Please respect copyright.PENANAWY1h35AXpT
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."757Please respect copyright.PENANAdenMEfbTJG
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."757Please respect copyright.PENANAkYrsX0gkUp
"Come on, Zoey," I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAaG8VmJsN5u
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 757Please respect copyright.PENANA5qZuxXVsHr
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."757Please respect copyright.PENANA3xX1R0x5Oy
"What song?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAwBD0A3n5Wb
I didn't answer when I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAtRGXahStyC
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 757Please respect copyright.PENANAZAj32f8rc3
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAIF2W0aX7DQ
pill soon started to play.757Please respect copyright.PENANAcT5KMneQ66
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.757Please respect copyright.PENANA1mUFHxaubR
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.757Please respect copyright.PENANAEK5MZoURD8
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.757Please respect copyright.PENANACdnvrEITZJ
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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAywdanvsvaD
It's been a while since I757Please respect copyright.PENANAvnmKqHKtfl
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 757Please respect copyright.PENANAdHptMVTrHl
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 757Please respect copyright.PENANAKzHbxZZ689
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.757Please respect copyright.PENANAact4ydtGny
At the end of it, the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAmNXNQ8BFUH
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 757Please respect copyright.PENANAWa6ZmBtl4E
our moves synchronising with one another.757Please respect copyright.PENANAb8Rp6QaUOv
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.757Please respect copyright.PENANAsB2aVugxoe
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."757Please respect copyright.PENANAfWZOEo5l1S
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.757Please respect copyright.PENANAk4HbC6eJpo
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.757Please respect copyright.PENANAN6EhntCb0P
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAbt45v2qwrJ
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."757Please respect copyright.PENANAyYYc4kpAXY
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."757Please respect copyright.PENANATtGvLvjOj4
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.757Please respect copyright.PENANA5XAZcV5lig
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.757Please respect copyright.PENANArLQuBVFP8q
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAKsiMxw9xVQ
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.757Please respect copyright.PENANAc1EjpZO48a
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAANetyqeIju
Mino and Seunghoon both 757Please respect copyright.PENANAdSAh5C8JVk
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 757Please respect copyright.PENANAwqx8R4W7eb
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.757Please respect copyright.PENANAQjFbMc79VR
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.757Please respect copyright.PENANA2CAbhPIEJN
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.757Please respect copyright.PENANAsS3ZEo7uUM
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."757Please respect copyright.PENANA1sI2uJHIDp
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.757Please respect copyright.PENANA9cM7uBiPkb
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAXIMcXqkVRW
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 757Please respect copyright.PENANAObKjVvk1jL
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."757Please respect copyright.PENANAwqxWjdg9Pl
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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAAQI9zBlhKk
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.757Please respect copyright.PENANA5KexC33Z36
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAKT8ALm3R45
I nudged my head to the 757Please respect copyright.PENANA9UKzdZhapJ
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 757Please respect copyright.PENANAyaFN4YjwQL
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the757Please respect copyright.PENANAQtutQ5JMKD
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.757Please respect copyright.PENANABxkXW8Bois
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.757Please respect copyright.PENANAY0mU6wsp9l
Seunghoon lips were 757Please respect copyright.PENANAeRfzIHGUUe
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was757Please respect copyright.PENANAXe4ScdTE31
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose757Please respect copyright.PENANAnqbxK2KGUP
focus.757Please respect copyright.PENANAUCdJTooZbk
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.757Please respect copyright.PENANAe30Cuh1yXG
"The others might, but I757Please respect copyright.PENANA910vP9o7VY
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going757Please respect copyright.PENANAePSOXgrJh8
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 757Please respect copyright.PENANAj7PRT6KOZA
when TOP came to pick me up?"757Please respect copyright.PENANArd04Uz8Ln3
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."757Please respect copyright.PENANAe2rjEd3jPf
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAIxo2O3Lgyv
He again took a step closer. "Yes."757Please respect copyright.PENANAl5VmbdB5d5
Well, that made sense 757Please respect copyright.PENANAvLE17W7mUI
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 757Please respect copyright.PENANAZPWjYgNzYs
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 757Please respect copyright.PENANAFutncSOdu7
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 757Please respect copyright.PENANAJLI5fco2RK
seen.757Please respect copyright.PENANA5MD3iXC7iU
I hadn't realised it 757Please respect copyright.PENANABRG89qGZiN
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking757Please respect copyright.PENANAFt3dQak9SA
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 757Please respect copyright.PENANAdAgZrpRIP9
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 757Please respect copyright.PENANAWTUtYlICKb
uncomfortable.757Please respect copyright.PENANAj9Gi7ZLYXa
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.757Please respect copyright.PENANApnkTJU6aAk
"Well, yes," he 757Please respect copyright.PENANAIZCbfu41PS
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 757Please respect copyright.PENANAF2ei26KPlC
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."757Please respect copyright.PENANAiCJwAvJiFc
"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."757Please respect copyright.PENANA3muypNnEP8
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.757Please respect copyright.PENANAlz0hQ6oEfF
I blushed and I was a 757Please respect copyright.PENANA3iLqvkt6kx
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 757Please respect copyright.PENANA70fD58gmhT
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 757Please respect copyright.PENANAVRQ6Xm663V
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 757Please respect copyright.PENANA6qoD7toP8f
celebrities.757Please respect copyright.PENANAI4ezkikNgP
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAZNxM6EpuaD
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.757Please respect copyright.PENANAXfzb5DbkfZ
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."757Please respect copyright.PENANAuqLRgPt3N9
"No, they don't," I lied757Please respect copyright.PENANA06ydEW7ipG
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 757Please respect copyright.PENANAhmHTHeHSeP
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 757Please respect copyright.PENANARE0Orz8sfH
others had arrived.757Please respect copyright.PENANAFcx3Yul7G0
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.757Please respect copyright.PENANATAuXoJ76Nc
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.757Please respect copyright.PENANAMncfmlNHKD
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.757Please respect copyright.PENANA3TS1tnPgWa
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"757Please respect copyright.PENANADon9u3qaph
"Awesome," I replied.757Please respect copyright.PENANAQJcPYMpJ9U
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.757Please respect copyright.PENANA8jvkbo7lsn
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.757Please respect copyright.PENANASiFnARmGMl
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.757Please respect copyright.PENANAMfcFYKa5Ox
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.757Please respect copyright.PENANAZpg0b0ew2Z
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.757Please respect copyright.PENANAUhZ7ZnKIqu
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.757Please respect copyright.PENANA4AYMb3NIc3
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."757Please respect copyright.PENANAfkjSUZhFpt
"And besides, you and I 757Please respect copyright.PENANABW64BNIYg0
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 757Please respect copyright.PENANAI0RIJ9mNH8
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 757Please respect copyright.PENANA7Rw7CkyGbx
and Seunghoon showed up."757Please respect copyright.PENANAxrPMothNkA
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.757Please respect copyright.PENANAiPJJheYlK1
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.757Please respect copyright.PENANAmIZZOlVAZ1
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."757Please respect copyright.PENANAEi5lXU9nan
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.757Please respect copyright.PENANAfdAZAMoHu4
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.757Please respect copyright.PENANACUuDWYQpxh
Apparently, he wasn't 757Please respect copyright.PENANADeZvxx0iAg
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all757Please respect copyright.PENANAwpKReaHu1X
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that757Please respect copyright.PENANAAq8uXfdHKP
just made him look even more adorable.757Please respect copyright.PENANAHpXDHRvtlB
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.757Please respect copyright.PENANAFofJWzNfOE
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."757Please respect copyright.PENANAIfXZwlQbUn
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.757Please respect copyright.PENANADAGvy0AWfD
"Yes!" I heard the four 757Please respect copyright.PENANAiUGmj3otp4
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 757Please respect copyright.PENANArYycfXYUA5
at the track list. Then, something came to me.757Please respect copyright.PENANAphS5n5UiUQ
"Change of plans, Zoey,"757Please respect copyright.PENANArNyJHgxib6
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want757Please respect copyright.PENANA24D32tD0Qu
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."757Please respect copyright.PENANA5boAQU1hji
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."757Please respect copyright.PENANAvoCNKEuyU1
"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."757Please respect copyright.PENANAYVKCovLxB0
"This just got interesting," said Mino.757Please respect copyright.PENANA1nQhNLZ8pE
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"757Please respect copyright.PENANA34FFB0PmJm
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."757Please respect copyright.PENANAnRgECaKhey
"Taeyang is going to 757Please respect copyright.PENANAFK7boVx4vI
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 757Please respect copyright.PENANA6vEaTxxp0f
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."757Please respect copyright.PENANAoS3WxJjB1P
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."757Please respect copyright.PENANAJH6qqfdFBV
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.757Please respect copyright.PENANANbGCeTJO2c
I tapped the track on my757Please respect copyright.PENANAEdBIauFTN7
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 757Please respect copyright.PENANA1lpiWony7e
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.757Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2o8gJkkSo
When the song started, I757Please respect copyright.PENANAM5QxVIslj5
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 757Please respect copyright.PENANAtTK0exluTs
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 757Please respect copyright.PENANASfYO3XxrAB
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAyuptb7PYOz
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to757Please respect copyright.PENANAHLG5ZSlFol
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 757Please respect copyright.PENANAHh5nxuMC5m
doing a pretty good with the moves too.757Please respect copyright.PENANARFrcb3ECJO
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.757Please respect copyright.PENANA769ZIH31tM
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.757Please respect copyright.PENANAvzyHjoFqB2
"Whenever it came to the757Please respect copyright.PENANAdiYDWCNmli
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 757Please respect copyright.PENANAR84GLa7zfJ
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."757Please respect copyright.PENANACbPrbV8x7X
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."757Please respect copyright.PENANA4TLdPEDszH
"Thanks, guys," I said.757Please respect copyright.PENANA15VViWSC75
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.757Please respect copyright.PENANAPVtpSqxLf8
"Now, coming to my 757Please respect copyright.PENANAmfTdWhpUD8
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 757Please respect copyright.PENANAXm39FduNT2
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 757Please respect copyright.PENANAfc3iWHSA4r
think is a better dancer?"757Please respect copyright.PENANASkwequJXdE
"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."757Please respect copyright.PENANAI1HsjrxGeV
"Why?" Zoey asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANALnU4q6PJRO
"I think you and I both 757Please respect copyright.PENANAEOAsifsPWM
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 757Please respect copyright.PENANAH5ysnqUDQ8
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 757Please respect copyright.PENANAxrQBVKLATC
That counts for something, right?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAVUCefLcUue
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."757Please respect copyright.PENANAi1i6VtPDJS
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."757Please respect copyright.PENANADvoZyFa5Wz
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.757Please respect copyright.PENANANVUEe9QUMD
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"757Please respect copyright.PENANApRpeNTBPmV
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANARGwaTb5mDk
"Well, ya." Mike 757Please respect copyright.PENANAQtpfayshkJ
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 757Please respect copyright.PENANARHwEVMXslt
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 757Please respect copyright.PENANAL4RqLGs93v
sentence as he looked at Zoey.757Please respect copyright.PENANA95lwyeli0R
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."757Please respect copyright.PENANA1d9QDekyTx
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.757Please respect copyright.PENANAhEm8yMJD4m
"I also think it will be757Please respect copyright.PENANAoiFblpmBZo
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 757Please respect copyright.PENANAPXVTDoIjlT
obviously bring out a better opinion."757Please respect copyright.PENANAk4wEn2cG7G
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.757Please respect copyright.PENANAzUXwu1tTJZ
"Count me out of it," I 757Please respect copyright.PENANA5XmUWuKxqa
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAh3ONF7WeoO
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."757Please respect copyright.PENANAoVB4QApi7F
"Fine, I'll create a 757Please respect copyright.PENANAgLrq4c70jd
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how757Please respect copyright.PENANAR5jDbm5DVa
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though757Please respect copyright.PENANAlnVt2i4tUX
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."757Please respect copyright.PENANA5csEO9jF8e
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."757Please respect copyright.PENANAr3pKtbRfhp
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."757Please respect copyright.PENANArOGuxLb7dD
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.757Please respect copyright.PENANAogjJM4OOpd
Zoey and Mike soon got 757Please respect copyright.PENANA5bCz5OYwTP
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 757Please respect copyright.PENANAzU2vJKqL6Y
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 757Please respect copyright.PENANA1BKiYz4iSs
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance757Please respect copyright.PENANAaF6dg7oghb
battle.757Please respect copyright.PENANACIbU0ZqOh2
I got my phone and the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAaI33Pbge1T
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAKsEsChNWnI
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.757Please respect copyright.PENANAPJfi9QaBWY
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.757Please respect copyright.PENANAtkQGmpeOVM
I turned to look at him 757Please respect copyright.PENANAXhQfT0d8dM
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 757Please respect copyright.PENANAiWjaDSCaPz
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 757Please respect copyright.PENANAH91QqEM2HC
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 757Please respect copyright.PENANAWmTVnlHMBB
smile if they were to look at him.757Please respect copyright.PENANA6m0UssiAF5
"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."757Please respect copyright.PENANAXIUCR4Duc0
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.757Please respect copyright.PENANAeno4m9qull
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."757Please respect copyright.PENANA5VtwDkPjc4
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."757Please respect copyright.PENANA7hEfSxqFzA
"You're right about that."757Please respect copyright.PENANA7srdt1wq5S
I looked behind me with a757Please respect copyright.PENANAjYErIAgZMp
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 757Please respect copyright.PENANAFT3lRm5XSk
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 757Please respect copyright.PENANAPyJyqHlSTT
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 757Please respect copyright.PENANA1slneKV1CJ
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.757Please respect copyright.PENANAXdsKjAxek2
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 757Please respect copyright.PENANAcSeLzpmeWZ
"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."757Please respect copyright.PENANA8qikLyjMw2
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAj4vX18hkEA
"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."757Please respect copyright.PENANAmmx8Wpu4Pl
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."757Please respect copyright.PENANAjNXnf47Stn
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."757Please respect copyright.PENANApFbOLyiHjn
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.757Please respect copyright.PENANAfKIitTkchf
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.757Please respect copyright.PENANAfZqox8Cz8U
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAlz1seK9CpV
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."757Please respect copyright.PENANABlVITCUUFT
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAWoncyh9pfk
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."757Please respect copyright.PENANAoeTchlHlYM
"I sure hope so," I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAMybr388A79
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAuEv86gK45N
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."757Please respect copyright.PENANALbuvPCuz9r
"What about those two?" 757Please respect copyright.PENANA8OewEveaF2
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 757Please respect copyright.PENANAWZKPqkAkwW
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 757Please respect copyright.PENANAcC9Rgwxxw3
soon.757Please respect copyright.PENANA0Crb5tNlEm
"They will notice when 757Please respect copyright.PENANAPWCJHfBQ2Q
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 757Please respect copyright.PENANAXT6pKKYGko
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAhOZPWEzB5e
"Sure," he said with a smile.757Please respect copyright.PENANAxL6BvTy9fO
Christine, Daniel and I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAopP5lDULxw
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 757Please respect copyright.PENANAokC5iHWCJU
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.757Please respect copyright.PENANA7KPLLjUmjV
Twenty minutes later, I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAuI9ov4kE3v
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 757Please respect copyright.PENANAjVnZLLkCec
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 757Please respect copyright.PENANA7FpSWdhIQ0
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 757Please respect copyright.PENANA4gnIl15ble
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 757Please respect copyright.PENANANAnMXf0xIO
in the shower room, still patching herself up.757Please respect copyright.PENANALsrWtxQR85
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.757Please respect copyright.PENANAIlhmlnyI1j
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."757Please respect copyright.PENANAShwJEmarDI
"Why? Anything special?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAHKi3MXtWub
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.757Please respect copyright.PENANAyoWIvvcZ55
"Oh, nothing," I stared 757Please respect copyright.PENANANQ0xCauQAx
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAR5LlLZJZPT
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 757Please respect copyright.PENANAh6fvyNlrKq
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."757Please respect copyright.PENANA6b0tXW1G0k
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.757Please respect copyright.PENANAytfjBp5hjb
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.757Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ur8FmKEo0
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.757Please respect copyright.PENANAMe0NDdwnv6
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.757Please respect copyright.PENANAplcYngjPti
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."757Please respect copyright.PENANAfvKo1uO1S3
"What are you talking about?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAhb5Xm2IlxO
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAxE6CmJxDKF
Christine's mouth fell 757Please respect copyright.PENANA6FH8NqzUvZ
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 757Please respect copyright.PENANAQyaemN0fah
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.757Please respect copyright.PENANAEOkpcwsii2
"No, I don't," she said.757Please respect copyright.PENANAo5s6s48byM
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 757Please respect copyright.PENANASSn3DFxjaX
do like him but only as a fan girl."757Please respect copyright.PENANANscsuggW2T
"Please, I saw the way 757Please respect copyright.PENANAxyO7BQyzPw
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that757Please respect copyright.PENANADX8V4Y8svi
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."757Please respect copyright.PENANAZQDav87VUh
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 757Please respect copyright.PENANAkdYm5lNLio
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of757Please respect copyright.PENANARPmjXauvJR
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 757Please respect copyright.PENANA2LIrI4jypq
more."757Please respect copyright.PENANAxfYXTxkdlQ
"Ya, right," I said as I757Please respect copyright.PENANAhmPjya2dmf
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 757Please respect copyright.PENANAUZWuuDaRAP
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 757Please respect copyright.PENANAbKGPEFV7Op
weird look on your face."757Please respect copyright.PENANA5IyzvRkeYM
"What weird look?"757Please respect copyright.PENANA4CvZovxhE7
"The jealous one."757Please respect copyright.PENANAXulZUqmabf
"Spare me the drama, Sam."757Please respect copyright.PENANAtUFpOz9GOe
"If Zoey was the one 757Please respect copyright.PENANAwjVyqHff8D
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 757Please respect copyright.PENANAMjN817sPPe
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 757Please respect copyright.PENANAVfN7RBVr2x
Jinwoo."757Please respect copyright.PENANAC7qa11ppGF
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.757Please respect copyright.PENANAGOpJRk8xS2
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ134L1GWo
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."757Please respect copyright.PENANAK31ZCtY7no
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.757Please respect copyright.PENANAzCxJkDvV0e
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.757Please respect copyright.PENANAWU8p1HKEkR
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.757Please respect copyright.PENANAepo0MQaSac
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.757Please respect copyright.PENANAubqsppGcCy
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.757Please respect copyright.PENANAKJXYiarNrb
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"757Please respect copyright.PENANA86Gl24KbBs
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.757Please respect copyright.PENANAMVD8jZ8Jpq
Mike gave Christine a 757Please respect copyright.PENANANdKg1z0giM
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 757Please respect copyright.PENANAnKPby3Zm0s
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't757Please respect copyright.PENANAnYXghBFqjl
wrong about that.757Please respect copyright.PENANA3CoMsnne2V
We decided to go back to757Please respect copyright.PENANALNa60dKTQw
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 757Please respect copyright.PENANAMut8DekKsf
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,757Please respect copyright.PENANAMtHMrwaI0d
this happened:757Please respect copyright.PENANAgQAyWKA7xg
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.757Please respect copyright.PENANACyZdeZSdGL
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.757Please respect copyright.PENANAzRXxxoxVkQ
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.757Please respect copyright.PENANA0bcWuEQRwW
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."757Please respect copyright.PENANAr4rcRsZwfD
I wanted to frown at him757Please respect copyright.PENANAW8ZrzXg2ZK
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 757Please respect copyright.PENANAuFta3BtuNf
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.757Please respect copyright.PENANAZKFtxllROE
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.757Please respect copyright.PENANAoQmCn0oxCs
I looked at Jinwoo and I757Please respect copyright.PENANA6gP44202wt
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 757Please respect copyright.PENANAjHc76waI6B
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 757Please respect copyright.PENANA24g4gTayyv
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.757Please respect copyright.PENANAeHRPzmg6Ka
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.757Please respect copyright.PENANALmTfGw4rtP
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAHyqPnFI41R
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.757Please respect copyright.PENANAu9T5dV064v
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."757Please respect copyright.PENANAA5ezH3Ltjx
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANABLxX3mq4bG
"Good idea. Let's go."757Please respect copyright.PENANAWwiM08JRZ1
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAcJg0AEubKn
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.757Please respect copyright.PENANAm1AETydDqs
Before he could say 757Please respect copyright.PENANAkXCD0zHdim
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I757Please respect copyright.PENANAQoifwaAZxW
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped757Please respect copyright.PENANAYvxmjka1rd
out of the room, he was snickering.757Please respect copyright.PENANAjbnDFcJctn
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.757Please respect copyright.PENANAejs7ZCysGo
"Just because I'm his 757Please respect copyright.PENANA34Q95ROwUE
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being757Please respect copyright.PENANAw3zvEqmdTb
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"757Please respect copyright.PENANARwq0BRTD1R
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."757Please respect copyright.PENANA2HiqgsJkHR
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"757Please respect copyright.PENANANugIkFAjWC
"Actually, it was only 757Please respect copyright.PENANAsim4eDLMlZ
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 757Please respect copyright.PENANA20KypC1X6Z
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."757Please respect copyright.PENANAB1FMMeERzc
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.757Please respect copyright.PENANA0uyNQhdxSt
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.757Please respect copyright.PENANAbdau6UHMx5
When we got to the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAWRsQHf9nQd
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 757Please respect copyright.PENANA6ubGhCKGiK
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 757Please respect copyright.PENANATpUh8zWjud
inside the elevator.757Please respect copyright.PENANAkOj8GkS5ZJ
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.757Please respect copyright.PENANAXpkufpMZBi
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."757Please respect copyright.PENANAWucBUaYhM2
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.757Please respect copyright.PENANAcztf3nOSwr
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.757Please respect copyright.PENANAlBsvL5FDDw
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."757Please respect copyright.PENANAUwPssJZnAb
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.757Please respect copyright.PENANAMXQKhvdnc2
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANArLlpCNFqCh
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."757Please respect copyright.PENANAQoSigWQE41
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."757Please respect copyright.PENANAjCL3nxGdgZ
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."757Please respect copyright.PENANA2wpXBhYB8s
"Well, if you're 757Please respect copyright.PENANArPOLJxOjk4
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 757Please respect copyright.PENANAiwQd5dUu1t
his face and I could tell something was up.757Please respect copyright.PENANAJdUoMbhRjY
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAcMFt4YlOpH
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."757Please respect copyright.PENANADqbY9pdEnJ
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAph1dhsL5QF
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."757Please respect copyright.PENANAGz6N0qV2mW
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.757Please respect copyright.PENANAcBvlB3Jf6b
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."757Please respect copyright.PENANATpxlPjX49T
"I came to see you guys 757Please respect copyright.PENANA1fibMLOzIG
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 757Please respect copyright.PENANAWYq3T2oUu4
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."757Please respect copyright.PENANA8B9YOH3E5H
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."757Please respect copyright.PENANA8Xot03ELXC
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."757Please respect copyright.PENANAufTugYgYzz
"Okay, then you go and 757Please respect copyright.PENANAaHZwgDRBZJ
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino757Please respect copyright.PENANA4APWyZaERx
to get Zoey as fast as we could."757Please respect copyright.PENANA12ioLhxihj
"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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAdT7Qg8ztNT
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.757Please respect copyright.PENANAgg0aAdZcaM
We headed downstairs to 757Please respect copyright.PENANAWRosdkjAub
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 757Please respect copyright.PENANA51EeJlbZjA
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.757Please respect copyright.PENANAR14pNlFPUv
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAKj7UflyVKV
"Trying to look good," 757Please respect copyright.PENANAwDkjtlVIuo
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 757Please respect copyright.PENANANp9fzZfdsx
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 757Please respect copyright.PENANAYQX2PHmeYp
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."757Please respect copyright.PENANAxUKg3bCofk
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.757Please respect copyright.PENANALCyCi3MJS1
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.757Please respect copyright.PENANAetvND5RmuW
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."757Please respect copyright.PENANATlHTEVvInT
"You're kidding, right?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAqFDXHpOcqw
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."757Please respect copyright.PENANAol9Nt7M02I
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAhiYCkXVXyb
"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."757Please respect copyright.PENANAm3oN0oKjfx
Just as I turned around 757Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ib1QJPOMv
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 757Please respect copyright.PENANASwXY783ENW
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 757Please respect copyright.PENANAnhuDSlB2jo
the the floor we were on.757Please respect copyright.PENANAbgeSBg8TnL
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.757Please respect copyright.PENANAdxehse2UI2
Just as we turned round a757Please respect copyright.PENANAhIjRD5uNFY
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 757Please respect copyright.PENANA80i9PQ0EpL
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAJnWTbbLRnv
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 757Please respect copyright.PENANAB5VBqKbsgY
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.757Please respect copyright.PENANAGysez5ferF
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAeXxQeFpI3J
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.757Please respect copyright.PENANAxXlGfqMxzY
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAlhM5WESU8l
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."757Please respect copyright.PENANAbH3wkWb72K
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAfXvg6qpfna
I didn't say anything as757Please respect copyright.PENANA0NhloBGLtd
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 757Please respect copyright.PENANA7LT1meLTQu
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 757Please respect copyright.PENANATG7m4l56Hk
Hyun-suk's voice.757Please respect copyright.PENANA1bH0vLKibc
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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAZos0B1Ynv4
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.757Please respect copyright.PENANA3nqNLZwYQV
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.757Please respect copyright.PENANAlrgSTuzgjw
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.757Please respect copyright.PENANAOtR3rr2gvZ
I checked around with my757Please respect copyright.PENANANkdh8l5eMg
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 757Please respect copyright.PENANATMe6z0JEg1
the light went on in the tiny room.757Please respect copyright.PENANAzRe3SYc0F8
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAnovLsuL46X
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.757Please respect copyright.PENANApRVRhhdPSj
I shook my head. "They are still there."757Please respect copyright.PENANAxFRLcuDtPL
Mino and Zoey both 757Please respect copyright.PENANApGFFPsrHm5
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 757Please respect copyright.PENANAPVLDE5bp1k
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 757Please respect copyright.PENANARkYxmeEVDX
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 757Please respect copyright.PENANAiEX7MfzvpZ
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 757Please respect copyright.PENANA2txcUefIq7
behind me.757Please respect copyright.PENANAqF9MxKHkLK
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.757Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ9n8qB37r
"I think they are gone," I whispered.757Please respect copyright.PENANAd6fh4JY0O4
"Try and check," Mino whispered.757Please respect copyright.PENANANOtEGJ3ZuM
I took hold of the door 757Please respect copyright.PENANAAG658k185H
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 757Please respect copyright.PENANAPxZm1qD4mG
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of757Please respect copyright.PENANALYORrm8nan
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.757Please respect copyright.PENANASFGObQ6UmT
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.757Please respect copyright.PENANA6YpWxI5GtG
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.757Please respect copyright.PENANAkVIMnPB27p
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.757Please respect copyright.PENANAePsC3frTdv
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.757Please respect copyright.PENANAlCtHxZ7gV2
The three of us were 757Please respect copyright.PENANAC5HvC0imBd
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 757Please respect copyright.PENANAVtSZNu3hpl
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was757Please respect copyright.PENANAUnF9sfpFRC
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 757Please respect copyright.PENANAz7JzVqHIO1
heard the phone ring.757Please respect copyright.PENANAu7T3gkAOOH
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.757Please respect copyright.PENANAiCu3ygXVTq
I quickly took the bag 757Please respect copyright.PENANAKQcMdIbIf1
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 757Please respect copyright.PENANApTKrhpaqWz
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 757Please respect copyright.PENANAzRvBL2qfQC
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 757Please respect copyright.PENANAJkK0jKWdbn
anything strange."757Please respect copyright.PENANAsQH3sTmVdd
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAl3SBCBk0FF
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."757Please respect copyright.PENANAwRPCPQKbKf
Mino and Zoey quickly 757Please respect copyright.PENANA6gyUfBzz1x
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 757Please respect copyright.PENANAj5E4JRlcku
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 757Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ7m4baiI4
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 757Please respect copyright.PENANAXg4RpGfFj5
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 757Please respect copyright.PENANAOIt3RFjRqP
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.757Please respect copyright.PENANAKSmum9m9bC
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."757Please respect copyright.PENANAWd17Azd2hs
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.757Please respect copyright.PENANAPQiskiyukl
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."757Please respect copyright.PENANAXE7ALMgk3Z
I gave them a little 757Please respect copyright.PENANAf0BVML6TwO
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 757Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6mvZYDBOe
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 757Please respect copyright.PENANADFR8H5D7Nc
the place.757Please respect copyright.PENANAEm4QYbbujO
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAbaiBIiCTCb
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.757Please respect copyright.PENANAeIfHJSdHAs
"I must say, I watched 757Please respect copyright.PENANASpHuiDp1Dm
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 757Please respect copyright.PENANAeRSYTPYa3n
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 757Please respect copyright.PENANAcAXR27lOw1
black suit.757Please respect copyright.PENANA8oR3HgVQlj
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.757Please respect copyright.PENANAIzRFHe55OF
"You really do have good manners," said other man.757Please respect copyright.PENANAZpN9RELGzT
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.757Please respect copyright.PENANAEAF4OvUJrn
"I always do my best," I said politely.757Please respect copyright.PENANAQCy7hsb4zF
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.757Please respect copyright.PENANA9XHr09IDR5
I felt my eyes were 757Please respect copyright.PENANA5ku4GYIc59
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 757Please respect copyright.PENANA8GQT0xXl53
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 757Please respect copyright.PENANAY2bm8j83Xd
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 757Please respect copyright.PENANAZvjmaTUnwP
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.757Please respect copyright.PENANAlfez8ye4Y3
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"757Please respect copyright.PENANAYnrHBFxLF4
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me757Please respect copyright.PENANAZ03EzLZF7F
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 757Please respect copyright.PENANApr3BJZMBeh
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAN5et0erpbc
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.757Please respect copyright.PENANARdNheRLNan
"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."757Please respect copyright.PENANARMggpqW8HR
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.757Please respect copyright.PENANAhTcuZpPdid
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.757Please respect copyright.PENANAH5aTDZUeIu
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."757Please respect copyright.PENANAnFssHi8VJI
I smiled as I bowed my 757Please respect copyright.PENANA4A4YqXwimk
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 757Please respect copyright.PENANAuwFbDp33cY
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 757Please respect copyright.PENANAWRai64CdNR
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I757Please respect copyright.PENANAr5QEzxlAvH
was until now.757Please respect copyright.PENANAjuKbjnaWJx
I quickly ran to the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAsSAggpkLuq
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 757Please respect copyright.PENANAREUoPzI3Gq
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 757Please respect copyright.PENANALn7YXNXuRY
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 757Please respect copyright.PENANA5RqHgLvUpl
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 757Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0YUbmsUrs
see.757Please respect copyright.PENANABxyCk3VRr7
"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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAXAW74HnivJ
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."757Please respect copyright.PENANAsMPTPDf3c6
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.757Please respect copyright.PENANA8SX9n0cLSU
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.757Please respect copyright.PENANAzdNN6DbKh6
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.757Please respect copyright.PENANAdmZHjqJeLR
"Because I missed you."757Please respect copyright.PENANArW2QuEWhM6
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.757Please respect copyright.PENANAVSzIa26WNx
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.757Please respect copyright.PENANAM2KVxB48Zg
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.757Please respect copyright.PENANAL6VRBUrlvl
When we reached the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAlJDQbqFn5h
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 757Please respect copyright.PENANAervtYHJtLX
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 757Please respect copyright.PENANALKu9csbDrp
lobby.757Please respect copyright.PENANAll4MScPWmk
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.757Please respect copyright.PENANAu6Y8TmIUq3
"I think I've an idea," I757Please respect copyright.PENANA9qIA1TUtaT
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going757Please respect copyright.PENANApeCnwgtQeK
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAZRw2eVBkDQ
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."757Please respect copyright.PENANA81IJGt3RXi
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.757Please respect copyright.PENANASznNaTyQD2
I rolled my eyes. I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAEUwtbs4ggE
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself757Please respect copyright.PENANAnVyL0E6yST
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 757Please respect copyright.PENANA0mIod6Vjjm
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.757Please respect copyright.PENANA5PVHNDaGiP
"Because I'm smart 757Please respect copyright.PENANAmFWiYT977a
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such757Please respect copyright.PENANAUJn3sYWCIx
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"757Please respect copyright.PENANACw3Z8v3c1a
Mino and TOP smiled at 757Please respect copyright.PENANAWEZOH6Rqad
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 757Please respect copyright.PENANAdmfcg80WBR
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 757Please respect copyright.PENANAkwoC0eKZeR
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.757Please respect copyright.PENANAPoiezY84o0
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."757Please respect copyright.PENANAqsTORjtRku
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAF2kdUkqyMx
"If we don't take the 757Please respect copyright.PENANA2n2KbRJ9lk
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 757Please respect copyright.PENANAMKcScyVFDl
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."757Please respect copyright.PENANA5VNOGvlCDp
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.757Please respect copyright.PENANA323VqMjqZx
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.757Please respect copyright.PENANAYCpAkHzvnC
"You guys go right now 757Please respect copyright.PENANAt2lvvw5jb0
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 757Please respect copyright.PENANA5djQHtZrqy
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."757Please respect copyright.PENANAqd07bbjfAy
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.757Please respect copyright.PENANAYVM7P360zz
"Because I need you around."757Please respect copyright.PENANAG5VFRvIirN
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.757Please respect copyright.PENANAp5xnrF9MNW
Seungyoon and his group 757Please respect copyright.PENANAUDHeuUCkVB
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 757Please respect copyright.PENANASO2xt3i9i0
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 757Please respect copyright.PENANAsY5SbZdIVj
for ten minutes.757Please respect copyright.PENANAS5UfmnEwLA
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAbjUysnN3eQ
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.757Please respect copyright.PENANAVsiBv9ejcr
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.757Please respect copyright.PENANAvShlA0dWaA
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.757Please respect copyright.PENANA1xJVYEQJzx
"So if you guys are 757Please respect copyright.PENANAe6jI2i8BBc
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 757Please respect copyright.PENANADQk5QJ5isn
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAyT2M14ERL9
"Why do you ask?" I asked.757Please respect copyright.PENANAJFaD5ZsrgB
"You guys can't just 757Please respect copyright.PENANASGQAmKuy8X
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 757Please respect copyright.PENANA1b3HbSnW92
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 757Please respect copyright.PENANAUqVYjPdBYG
managers will find out what's going on."757Please respect copyright.PENANA6DEHFnq1Xt
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.757Please respect copyright.PENANASTn6zdSDob
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.757Please respect copyright.PENANANIzyGzCcmq
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.757Please respect copyright.PENANACAmysCf1DY
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."757Please respect copyright.PENANAawD1vZbm6B
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."757Please respect copyright.PENANA1RZzyRdlIx
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.757Please respect copyright.PENANAIj9y4C5sgV
The others quickly 757Please respect copyright.PENANA88KRBnoIwU
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 757Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1x6aJWxIr
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 757Please respect copyright.PENANAZUsonj2XfM
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 757Please respect copyright.PENANAuNiJzMCQNT
worried that they might have hit their heads.757Please respect copyright.PENANAg03rDpP83F
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.757Please respect copyright.PENANA9HSLip2p3v
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."757Please respect copyright.PENANAly5Zu7AZtt
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.757Please respect copyright.PENANARirOEybY4N
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.757Please respect copyright.PENANAe2qkfvocLn
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.757Please respect copyright.PENANAKngpObUzVr
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"757Please respect copyright.PENANA4VrZCwDkXu
As soon as I turned 757Please respect copyright.PENANAfbCQHsaa6O
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the757Please respect copyright.PENANA0i19ousTeU
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 757Please respect copyright.PENANAdLh8uW9Mhs
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 757Please respect copyright.PENANAnaNKJ9miaZ
behind me paused ready for the worst.757Please respect copyright.PENANA6HulqHsbab
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.757Please respect copyright.PENANAUWFIF6S5yr
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."757Please respect copyright.PENANA6OGs7g1GAN
"Well, this day just got757Please respect copyright.PENANA7Bybol3rle
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about757Please respect copyright.PENANAFdkGJtnFIM
it. I couldn't blame him for that.757Please respect copyright.PENANAb83hGHTphS
Coming out of the 757Please respect copyright.PENANAUym85Rzibv
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 757Please respect copyright.PENANAFFJmtzna4n
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 757Please respect copyright.PENANAn1PI6axMuG
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.757Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZzEK7BjKb
I felt like I had stood 757Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0ZjYYvJgR
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged757Please respect copyright.PENANAdfgilSPJwO
me on the shoulder to get my attention.757Please respect copyright.PENANACnRazS6ayD
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.757Please respect copyright.PENANAZzkLltflUQ
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.757Please respect copyright.PENANAGlbMaSp4dc
