“It’s just a sprain that will heal in a day or two,” said the handsome, male Korean doctor who wore a causal blue golf shirt with white chinos and matching white canvas. Anyone who would see him now wouldn’t think twice that he is a medical doctor. “If she doesn’t strain herself too much, she’ll be fine.”168Please respect copyright.PENANAnF1HyQtnZq

“That’s good news,” said Collins feeling relieved as he turned to look at Christine who sat on the couch, with a foot on a foot supporter in front of her. She looked at him with a stoic look on her face. “Luckily, it’s nothing serious.”168Please respect copyright.PENANAYaDb79cfVh
168Please respect copyright.PENANAygFOAkSepS
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4FcBI5SsoH
“I told you I’m fine,” said Christine. Collins gave her a look that told her to be quiet. Christine read it and quickly looked up at the ceiling like she hadn’t said anything.168Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ5LFCZCVP

Before the doctor and Lee could turn around to leave the lounge, Daniel and I quickly left our spot at the entrance of the lounge and silently ran down the hall, and entered one of the rooms with the door slightly open to peak in the hall. Mike and Zoey who hid on the other side pretended as if they were approaching the elevator, looking occupied with phones in their hands.168Please respect copyright.PENANAm4v9MamgtO
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHi2giE5f5w
168Please respect copyright.PENANAI7uBSob4df
Lee and the doctor soon appeared in the hall, heading for the elevator and bypassing Zoey and Mike who said goodbye as Lee and the doctor entered the elevator.

For those of us who stood at the door of lounge, we moved aside for Collins to pass as he went down the hall to his room. In turn, we entered the lounge. Zoey and I went to sit on either side of Christine, while the boys went to sit on the other couch.168Please respect copyright.PENANAVfA8eAG5Tj

“But if we keep on doing that, they will get even more upset,” I said. I turned to look at Christine. “How’s your foot? Do you need help standing up?”168Please respect copyright.PENANAuYuhDUMpgN
168Please respect copyright.PENANAp7iSGyNd22
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHPnZgaHmWL
“No, I'm good,” said Christine. She put her foot on the foot stand on to the floor, then she slowly tried to stand on her own. She did so with little effort. “I’ll manage.” She smiled brightly.168Please respect copyright.PENANA9xebPD07OV

In ten minutes, we were already downstairs in the cars arranged for us. The five of us Toxins, Lee and Collins were in one car while the security detail were in two other cars behind us. Collins wasn’t joking when he said they will work on security. Hopefully, it won’t be too obvious to the fans or the paparazzi, especially the paparazzi.168Please respect copyright.PENANAgvLForY4N5

“Do you think Johnny will have a chance to get near us?” Daniel asked as he looked out the window, watching the people and the buildings as the car drove through town.168Please respect copyright.PENANAqednnOh1l8
168Please respect copyright.PENANArE0QzeYlzc

168Please respect copyright.PENANAYL8svWgRJW
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtONGeLga0v

168Please respect copyright.PENANA95mqDGgZSB
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYb1h5TbKgn
The five of us didn’t say a thing. It’s exactly what we had been talking about a few minutes ago back at the hotel.168Please respect copyright.PENANAPknfNtmMkN
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4uYdLiD8UH
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjVBDqfOKp3
“Lee’s right,” said Collins. “The issue with Jehan wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did because we didn’t take a whiff of what’s going on. We let it slide, but this time around, I don’t want any of your silly plans taking course. Is that clear?”168Please respect copyright.PENANA9oSpPrsXwM
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjKBB08PEew
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUcozquqVOf
The five of us exchanged looks. Lee and Collins are really on to us now. They don’t have to worry, though. We already decided not to do anything about it.168Please respect copyright.PENANA40ymEugIIj

168Please respect copyright.PENANA4yTip6g8vm
168Please respect copyright.PENANAH4iWBc0K1T
“No, but she can’t risk herself with strenuous activity,” I answered. “That being said, you better go take a seat, Christine.” I came to stand next to her.168Please respect copyright.PENANAHzpOCWG9vr
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbTc864yBaf
168Please respect copyright.PENANAc5YzQXM2WZ

168Please respect copyright.PENANAUWWs8t9f8t
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzfeFNr2B5O
She sat on the couch and Jinwoo sat next to her, but not too close. I wanted to say something cute about the two of them, but I controlled myself as I remembered that I’m not supposed to.168Please respect copyright.PENANAcqDaXBF62U

"I thought you would never ask," said Zoey as she excitedly turned to look at Mino who sat next to her.

168Please respect copyright.PENANAtek2IdxYzG

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:168Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZKXZygP3r

There came a knock at the door. We told the person to come in. It's Lee, and she came in with someone: Bang Yong-guk.168Please respect copyright.PENANAquN0Iq06mP
168Please respect copyright.PENANAY6LyzaeTvZ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkJnyfImOre
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.168Please respect copyright.PENANAooweyxgEmY
168Please respect copyright.PENANASNMaj8WpPg
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEy9yuuX2fN
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.168Please respect copyright.PENANAhXjgeG3wFe
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfRtm7JqT7r
168Please respect copyright.PENANAF4OiBtjuNB
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.168Please respect copyright.PENANA3nGpIthjad
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVSpGD1JzzI
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvlBZrOF9DA
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."168Please respect copyright.PENANALHQajQiUwt
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJGCPjqTDPs
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQ69VWpWaWM
"Hi, Yong-guk," I said as I stood up from my seat and also approached. "For a second there I thought you weren't coming."168Please respect copyright.PENANA0oww2W4ZGe
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxfx1GFI8Lv
168Please respect copyright.PENANADWraUvaka0
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.168Please respect copyright.PENANA5TEeCYKVSN
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxh2PBUj7lZ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVONFu2Mnq2
I felt someone quickly rush up to me standing by my side. And in the process, pushing me a little. I held my ground so that I wouldn't find myself falling over.168Please respect copyright.PENANAOYpcpnHIMk
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoV7rS7WxsQ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlo5ksMx5E8
"Hello," Seunghoon greeted Yong-guk in Korean. I raised an eyebrow as I realised that he had his arm around my neck. I didn't want to admit what I'm seeing, but it couldn't be helped. Was he trying to mark his territory when he didn't have one?168Please respect copyright.PENANAfMzUTGc7CD
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGRgPpqBY2V
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsom4BRWyJ9
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.168Please respect copyright.PENANAQn2tfZm53R
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKAeiefKYUp
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyL0pG9J2ku
Everyone else came over to greet Yong-guk. Lee told us to settle down for the managers and the music producer assigned to help with our album will be arriving any time soon. We did likewise. And members from both Blackpink and WINNER couldn’t help but ask Bang Yong-guk some questions about the song.168Please respect copyright.PENANAvesmHxjd1d
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeOlul2qdKL
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbQClo8dQFY

168Please respect copyright.PENANA7jbaOqcvHw
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXPkizbTM2q
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.168Please respect copyright.PENANAE4uHWfb2ix
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQ800UAa5iD
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsdBL7IyJza
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.168Please respect copyright.PENANATuUVR1KIG1
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIUluCzcxqm
168Please respect copyright.PENANANP58kPn2CQ
"You don’t have to worry about him," said Seunghoon as he leaned in a little closer on my shoulder. "He can take care of himself."168Please respect copyright.PENANAJHzV99cfIL
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPcisKAZPGG
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6K5qrtgz9O
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.168Please respect copyright.PENANAUg4IFnXwAH

168Please respect copyright.PENANAywU5GcU2kB
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."168Please respect copyright.PENANAMy8KcSvzYk
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAHJL5vnfBT
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZQYHMwSEIa
"Not when I’m around," said Lee who stood in the corner of the room. For a minute there we forgot that she is still around.168Please respect copyright.PENANAN4dzqogvDw
168Please respect copyright.PENANAm8i8nP1dZP
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYEqwNFBf0R
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.168Please respect copyright.PENANAdzdGkcSxo0
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxoXEviqGHZ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAw2EXrCMlGt
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."168Please respect copyright.PENANAcJkOfixGSC
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqC2NOd1r6G
168Please respect copyright.PENANAirmMUMjmya
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.168Please respect copyright.PENANAu7L1k3bGDz
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3XPgPTTgl8
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcgRM3tVU5i
Lee gave them a look that made them stare at the floor. The managers better get here soon. I could tell just how anxious everyone is that they can’t wait to hear the song.168Please respect copyright.PENANAkgcAXRJqME
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6ttcDwCdsh
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZP6PnXnxy8
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.168Please respect copyright.PENANAQTw7R9mBTU
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWlF2HID3mj
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUvywFtKRIw
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."168Please respect copyright.PENANAaONPGOZJ7Z
168Please respect copyright.PENANAd72QwDwGYg
168Please respect copyright.PENANAp6HuTbPVA8
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."168Please respect copyright.PENANAkGbjv1Fr5f
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqOKRN2txDS
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5fB2plDHc5
We didn’t have to wait any further as there came a knock at the door and Lee told whoever was there to come in. The two managers and a man who I think is the producer, walked into the room. We all stood up and bowed our heads.168Please respect copyright.PENANAVt11ol7rk4
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQwPeuS6joW
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1AYl3glJRF
"Sit down everyone," Yang Hyun-suk instructed and we did likewise. "I see everyone is here. I’m also happy to welcome our visitor, Bang Yong-guk."168Please respect copyright.PENANAFu0PSsUETs
168Please respect copyright.PENANABWmIymd9tY
168Please respect copyright.PENANAceKAi6rSqU
Bang Yong-guk stood up from his seat and bowed to the managers and the producer. He also thanked them for inviting him to the studio. Yang Hyun-suk also introduced the man who stood beside Collins as the producer who will help out with the album.168Please respect copyright.PENANAwnRlBuKxFU
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvKXSbopeqX
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiDxL782Kb8
"Okay, without further ado, we can dive right to what we came here to do," said Yang Hyun-suk. He started to make his way to the console and the music booth.168Please respect copyright.PENANAkeqNgiU4z2
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXn6rfGtuCR
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmL3FVGwsPe
When we stood up to follow the manager and the producer, I couldn’t help but stay still while the rest went on ahead. I didn’t even realise that Bang Yong-guk still stood beside me until he spoke.168Please respect copyright.PENANAGTUv7jxTcC
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwUlPFmvLgP
168Please respect copyright.PENANAM5qVscSk6t
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.168Please respect copyright.PENANAomsNVZ29JZ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeZihbARMj9
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEQjkQ8Z0n6
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"168Please respect copyright.PENANAmqxW6HxRzc
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfiUv78DD7a
168Please respect copyright.PENANAH0lUGBsSKa
He held my shoulders to turn me so I could look at him. I didn't expect him to be so close, and looking at him, straight on like this made me blush.168Please respect copyright.PENANAR49OLIjBh1
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3T9IS9wDSU
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcV6tfsgQqv
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.168Please respect copyright.PENANAUlo7Mq9sHV
168Please respect copyright.PENANARSVaLQL1vS
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXsOgxjCmae
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:168Please respect copyright.PENANAzRitO0Hj3H
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7KTJBdh9Bc
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhBqyVqtadK
"Yes, I do."168Please respect copyright.PENANAAPQRPDFGNk
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqQZvNcVaXF
168Please respect copyright.PENANA38GFpOJIro
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.168Please respect copyright.PENANACyvI7LMyuf
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKuVCPorcVP
168Please respect copyright.PENANAesMjralAfz
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.168Please respect copyright.PENANAC0hrPiwOnT
168Please respect copyright.PENANAX8nNsXdJs7
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMHxIRsg76N
His warm hand around mine assured me that I shouldn't worry about what’s going to happen with the song. Even if the managers weren't going to like it, it's going to be okay.168Please respect copyright.PENANAC5v5fgb6oG
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUMnEwZrgcs
168Please respect copyright.PENANAf7NSc2xFXR
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
