“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.”127Please respect copyright.PENANAf12nlSPIaJ

“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.”127Please respect copyright.PENANAJGc2Dco0Ow
127Please respect copyright.PENANAK4fGbA57Jh
127Please respect copyright.PENANA56lgCrHZJA
“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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAaRTg9ZkuVI

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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAPh9wLeD5hM
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKAGMKd6JhV
127Please respect copyright.PENANApvLmDSWFre
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. As soon as the doors closed, Daniel and I quietly ran out of the room, while Mike and Zoey also made their way back to the lounge.127Please respect copyright.PENANAoSvcYeWwRR

127Please respect copyright.PENANAzftME0INFj

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.127Please respect copyright.PENANABqeV1tkesZ

“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?”127Please respect copyright.PENANAzv66mwKuGk
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYp9DBJeAps
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGV3C85WL06
“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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAvtCsnZmgEO

127Please respect copyright.PENANAdPrS9Dh3BV

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.127Please respect copyright.PENANASjCZ05ISWZ

“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.127Please respect copyright.PENANA0D5gCEkcXy
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiM8BZ0xuNi
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiCzskJNAbf

127Please respect copyright.PENANAxOVBepJ8k0
127Please respect copyright.PENANAT6iS7p5sGj

127Please respect copyright.PENANAfIrUPq5pGJ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKOEbiQ3X3S
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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAopeDcixtgI
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMd2enXSiv1
127Please respect copyright.PENANAf7RPBUdYsC
“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?”127Please respect copyright.PENANAYZOD9A1Pbt
127Please respect copyright.PENANAERg7S2fMcV
127Please respect copyright.PENANAOenSnazhwI
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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAaRrTAspoHj
127Please respect copyright.PENANANhnx97zPJD

“Could it be that he didn’t mean any harm?” Jinwoo who was seated on the couch at the other end of the room, asked.127Please respect copyright.PENANAsSzrQlEJ4C
127Please respect copyright.PENANArRHc5dZbFh

127Please respect copyright.PENANA68FkvWW9lP

127Please respect copyright.PENANA0PqcmK6dRC
127Please respect copyright.PENANAkHCNyCdTsk
“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.127Please respect copyright.PENANA7sajgZNfPw
127Please respect copyright.PENANAr7mmNnq0G3
127Please respect copyright.PENANAFQvrfeqezA

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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAULzNjt4kQm

“Don’t think about it, Sam,” said Seunghoon as he came to stand next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders, drawing me closer. He felt so warm, surprisingly. “Since you guys worked on it, I’m sure it will be great.”127Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ2ZfBWbLR

"I thought you would never ask," said Zoey as she excitedly turned to look at Mino who sat next to her. Before she could utter a word, she noticed that a lot of us were looking at her with perplexed looks. Just a minute ago, she looked like she was about to punch the wall. Now she looked cheerful.127Please respect copyright.PENANA4afWIpJfLZ

"Sam and Mike can tell you," she said, as she let out a funny laugh. It’s so unlike her. There could only be one reason for this, and some of us aren’t going to point it out just yet.127Please respect copyright.PENANAYmjuucerBX

127Please respect copyright.PENANA2Xq1xlDMc0
127Please respect copyright.PENANAyEypOKJCHa

127Please respect copyright.PENANAVyHRfHkMak
Lisa pulled out her phone from her fancy blue purse and called G-Dragon. She even made sure to put the phone on loud speaker for everyone to hear.127Please respect copyright.PENANA7W9lngYE1U
127Please respect copyright.PENANApvb2kOnkUs
127Please respect copyright.PENANAC9iWlqzqMF
His phone on the other end started to ring. We all waited in silence for what felt like a minute when Zoey said:127Please respect copyright.PENANALpdAZlrBU3

127Please respect copyright.PENANAgpUa8JvQRf

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:127Please respect copyright.PENANAl1nM6dQRyb
127Please respect copyright.PENANAPOyFB3LNvq
127Please respect copyright.PENANAPNgoBzVmu4
"Wow, that's so typical of him. He even went to have fun with Johnny after the stunt he pulled?!"127Please respect copyright.PENANAxCeCBGyPPQ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHIfDC4IxX8
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdhqzHUTuHw

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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAZaisJEzG5O
127Please respect copyright.PENANAUUyRUK7n8f
127Please respect copyright.PENANAcYnyk88Gbh
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.127Please respect copyright.PENANAxqPl1ulOVv
127Please respect copyright.PENANAyn9xK9L2iI
127Please respect copyright.PENANAPFISdqZB8w
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.127Please respect copyright.PENANAABKctT8qev
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgSD6kOGTGA
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYstMSp9Sgd
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.127Please respect copyright.PENANAQWXJ6QBs2K
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgP8aDOmS1i
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzY1Hz9gU7o
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."127Please respect copyright.PENANAdUloLfw0cU
127Please respect copyright.PENANAr1doFBlHbV
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHsqcLqju07
"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."127Please respect copyright.PENANA4OGbA84qbJ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAeIBF1mFGyj
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsKRtQXIEj6
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.127Please respect copyright.PENANA9UUsSOyUfk
127Please respect copyright.PENANADlAZdelqlt
127Please respect copyright.PENANA72TBeH489S
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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAGEqV1Q7ozt
127Please respect copyright.PENANAM9HPEdAUEv
127Please respect copyright.PENANAojk2l2QcEu
"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?127Please respect copyright.PENANAHVI901pSnI
127Please respect copyright.PENANArK4FyF5L0l
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8aOeS4Vcn0
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.127Please respect copyright.PENANAIBDZzjQfEz
127Please respect copyright.PENANA3eT0831doA
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGPNFNA6FJ8
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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAn6JTLZvDCK
127Please respect copyright.PENANAW41VgboBJL
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGtKnvP2cJO
"The song is going to be great, right?" Jisoo asked.127Please respect copyright.PENANArVIGhm5ocq
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMASPz7MamR
127Please respect copyright.PENANAidKILMxbfd
"I just want to ask how you were able to come up with your amazing songs," said Mino.127Please respect copyright.PENANAbnpIQ5o8gy
127Please respect copyright.PENANAkKxBtXcBGy
127Please respect copyright.PENANAwnqbzygqQ1
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.127Please respect copyright.PENANAmIy8z0xeQL
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8qOCpjm6j2
127Please respect copyright.PENANADNUVsXOSAp
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.127Please respect copyright.PENANAg6YWcPJ2wB
127Please respect copyright.PENANAt1G3KIGRJU
127Please respect copyright.PENANA9SixXBgnqI
"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."127Please respect copyright.PENANA0UCp8sdsb4
127Please respect copyright.PENANANIOIAyotyA
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8A7UVHftnR
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.127Please respect copyright.PENANAIXjV31Pv8j
127Please respect copyright.PENANAWYKzNUIuHf
127Please respect copyright.PENANAjWA9q8PCi5
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."127Please respect copyright.PENANACMQKkSbmDW
127Please respect copyright.PENANAEowxRb3UkU
127Please respect copyright.PENANAx0VW4mSsPy
"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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAeWj9cnZfbb
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJkQVSCYiJt
127Please respect copyright.PENANANjtvrccmEN
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.127Please respect copyright.PENANAyUGbbqzcK7
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvHJBZzVc18
127Please respect copyright.PENANAbWBr5xZvZO
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."127Please respect copyright.PENANA4pcL4qwkgV
127Please respect copyright.PENANAUTjjjos6I0
127Please respect copyright.PENANAupMJgf5T9Z
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.127Please respect copyright.PENANAox3OsT5gUk
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnVrJlXujmp
127Please respect copyright.PENANAOqfIpstche
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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAhHxsi9jmyo
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHdMPCUGAgV
127Please respect copyright.PENANA1JITu8nPzV
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.127Please respect copyright.PENANAmTrY4mXnkn
127Please respect copyright.PENANAVMdjNC0zfM
127Please respect copyright.PENANAmbe6WTTAyF
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."127Please respect copyright.PENANAvPnxKdpp5I
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQtwNu4xxHR
127Please respect copyright.PENANAmWbR5Qwvjq
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."127Please respect copyright.PENANAJrgcSeSDxi
127Please respect copyright.PENANAmSmxIjoUlk
127Please respect copyright.PENANAaeqPlisToh
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.127Please respect copyright.PENANA6kIZac2C7F
127Please respect copyright.PENANA42OBumHfgg
127Please respect copyright.PENANAcuwljNs8l9
"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."127Please respect copyright.PENANAUyfZSp6yXZ
127Please respect copyright.PENANACam5OnuDOk
127Please respect copyright.PENANA0pcO6V4CyX
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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAGaI0znlqMH
127Please respect copyright.PENANANkk3g7WslW
127Please respect copyright.PENANAwSr3itm5Dp
"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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAZdJJ9TGF1l
127Please respect copyright.PENANAwn907Mphe1
127Please respect copyright.PENANAc66ymlWJkP
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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAJc8YMR58kV
127Please respect copyright.PENANAooH83wfbbr
127Please respect copyright.PENANAl7jejdsuhe
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.127Please respect copyright.PENANA0TfuidNCyS
127Please respect copyright.PENANAhHKZJi89TD
127Please respect copyright.PENANABZ7DXKoIML
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"127Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xt4QQvtkD
127Please respect copyright.PENANApvu3wet3kW
127Please respect copyright.PENANACq1STExwfo
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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAhi9Y9EEffa
127Please respect copyright.PENANArbnesYHvJF
127Please respect copyright.PENANA9d0jXyvYbm
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.127Please respect copyright.PENANAXN45cIChj3
127Please respect copyright.PENANAX7sOOX8rDH
127Please respect copyright.PENANA1t1PeJ1aTO
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:127Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q81YXuHiq
127Please respect copyright.PENANATvjMdUHhlN
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7eZvkBvVuX
"Yes, I do."127Please respect copyright.PENANA5B6yDbgVQg
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXl9hg2pxb6
127Please respect copyright.PENANA9eQMTpJZmK
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.127Please respect copyright.PENANA9vyZ5hg2aA
127Please respect copyright.PENANAVlCtT0R1gb
127Please respect copyright.PENANAFYdUBOOmH5
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.127Please respect copyright.PENANA8PxvOZOjit
127Please respect copyright.PENANA84e2ujCkCX
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYsTDpwbeqQ
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.127Please respect copyright.PENANAJj2aV1xBS1
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnCLTapJpti
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIhGw7HR546
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
