“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.”174Please respect copyright.PENANAbRQeaIbZbJ

“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.”174Please respect copyright.PENANAxk7IIRjwwC
174Please respect copyright.PENANA6gOAR4tTp0
174Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vfmr1KY9G
“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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAFIQUMDpvIQ

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.174Please respect copyright.PENANARw1IE0ayMC
174Please respect copyright.PENANAqMMdbBcOtQ
174Please respect copyright.PENANAuD1EgXGxiD
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.

174Please respect copyright.PENANAfJVL4YdeM3

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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAKctl37COxS

174Please respect copyright.PENANAw7oPw5cfUI
174Please respect copyright.PENANApi7EWR3LH5
“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?”174Please respect copyright.PENANAGUsTEG3dBu
174Please respect copyright.PENANAyhNOF1chqa
174Please respect copyright.PENANAZJY1Ycoy5m
“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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAzLbQnHr1nl

174Please respect copyright.PENANA0pZKOO9c0X

174Please respect copyright.PENANAlP2SAVjSj2
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAMbQWwb6QxJ

“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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAjTWhGBWsP7
174Please respect copyright.PENANAo6xxcDeAfN
174Please respect copyright.PENANALab2JciRPM

174Please respect copyright.PENANAp4bsOAA0Ty
174Please respect copyright.PENANA1nwsHNrTro
“We just have to be careful with who we let in whenever we go,” said Collins who sat in the front passenger seat. “We also had to alert security at YG just to be safe.”174Please respect copyright.PENANAKPLQEkOIf5

174Please respect copyright.PENANAcKNPc6aDrT
174Please respect copyright.PENANAor7NCh47E2

174Please respect copyright.PENANASahS2wigfh
174Please respect copyright.PENANA7nTk7ha5SN
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAQLxF7wKDhh
174Please respect copyright.PENANAynxHTUQQWw
174Please respect copyright.PENANA6W9WK8pJeM
“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?”174Please respect copyright.PENANA48UQjBVUMH
174Please respect copyright.PENANAVo0hSa1sID
174Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ6nIFWlUB
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANA7UlcLbS7QK
174Please respect copyright.PENANAJSiLza2dsw

174Please respect copyright.PENANAjaoncpCI8h

174Please respect copyright.PENANA8dUtMmDIrR
174Please respect copyright.PENANA9QrE8T86OJ

“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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAWDh5K6HqBP
174Please respect copyright.PENANATYXMhzSVta
174Please respect copyright.PENANA71wxMwKoXo

174Please respect copyright.PENANAMRRSJqMlSi
174Please respect copyright.PENANAw8XY6rLJCb

174Please respect copyright.PENANAJTenL0WMDv

174Please respect copyright.PENANAXklTlmQpTO
174Please respect copyright.PENANAO7pKminq6F
“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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAiFLVWkYMwf
174Please respect copyright.PENANAzz9XQkNboS
174Please respect copyright.PENANANZAtgCwMWT
“Sure,” she started to make her way to the couch with Seunghoon and Mino stepping aside for her to pass.174Please respect copyright.PENANABd1lMF0M43
174Please respect copyright.PENANAqza45vqtIW
174Please respect copyright.PENANAeetj3gYM69

174Please respect copyright.PENANABQ9yhW88ma
174Please respect copyright.PENANA64VtIILUsj
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANA13nhiXyCIz

“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.”174Please respect copyright.PENANAX3c0J67OSO

174Please respect copyright.PENANAwhzf26BGhq
174Please respect copyright.PENANAiUZATIwqU7

174Please respect copyright.PENANA47kXSF8Swh

"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAmIyoF9CHN3

174Please respect copyright.PENANAL4cpg4l5BX
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAJu339IfcoX
174Please respect copyright.PENANAMFoI1lhyfC
174Please respect copyright.PENANAeBc1FMGViy
Mike went on to tell the others about it, and a few of us chirped in here and there. In what felt like an hour of chatting and goofing around, the door flew open and the BlackPink members came in.174Please respect copyright.PENANAsqB3JEMNQT

174Please respect copyright.PENANAWKwa0FJo95
174Please respect copyright.PENANA1eF5Iyydfp
"I guess," I turned to look at Zoey who already had her head turned to look elsewhere. "Zoey is way more upset than we are, though."174Please respect copyright.PENANAcP3vbJIB3J
174Please respect copyright.PENANAkUkR8eHFRL

174Please respect copyright.PENANAs9mR2fVhjN
174Please respect copyright.PENANAFf8lODQliG
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAx6UAxdG9Cz
174Please respect copyright.PENANAeZLI8emXRH
174Please respect copyright.PENANAWrLySG8gXW
His phone on the other end started to ring. We all waited in silence for what felt like a minute when Zoey said:174Please respect copyright.PENANALO2MFtVguU
174Please respect copyright.PENANA8gaXK4qZsH
174Please respect copyright.PENANA0Kr7lDEjUW

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:174Please respect copyright.PENANAs5tJZrZeFn
174Please respect copyright.PENANAHbiq50uZg5
174Please respect copyright.PENANAQ42ROjNtEg

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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAnuhaF4FKGJ
174Please respect copyright.PENANApTqMfZFkOF
174Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9fmMPzNwp
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.174Please respect copyright.PENANA622g7ss4JU
174Please respect copyright.PENANAVgg353T6Kw
174Please respect copyright.PENANATtrTYEySzr
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.174Please respect copyright.PENANAEKiKO6gbG3
174Please respect copyright.PENANASuywntxciR
174Please respect copyright.PENANAhPQqdmqhQY
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.174Please respect copyright.PENANAja2SlZLqsz
174Please respect copyright.PENANAkVTJwzDwAj
174Please respect copyright.PENANAgXMz9a8Bd5
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."174Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q7blzPaD2
174Please respect copyright.PENANA7uZ4qB4Len
174Please respect copyright.PENANAVF0A4bsisL
"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."174Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0CDAEwhq8
174Please respect copyright.PENANAF6srisID98
174Please respect copyright.PENANAgMHTU43WTG
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.174Please respect copyright.PENANArbRtQ5oDXL
174Please respect copyright.PENANA9XIjlJQzaY
174Please respect copyright.PENANATYRd9pSzGj
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANA9MxO3Tv98H
174Please respect copyright.PENANAEExfoiJAWI
174Please respect copyright.PENANAJHQxAR8bEq
"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?174Please respect copyright.PENANAez4fZJpDch
174Please respect copyright.PENANA7avp8qcQnc
174Please respect copyright.PENANA4mov4nzJeY
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.174Please respect copyright.PENANAjPmOqLQudJ
174Please respect copyright.PENANACYzdEHeZ4w
174Please respect copyright.PENANAocY69TY4nS
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAumoWdYV3dZ
174Please respect copyright.PENANA3XC29YRnPx
174Please respect copyright.PENANAU3142niCRz

"I just want to ask how you were able to come up with your amazing songs," said Mino.174Please respect copyright.PENANAMDIk9mUB7f
174Please respect copyright.PENANAwW0aJGS0RB
174Please respect copyright.PENANAjUlcOPbp5E
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.174Please respect copyright.PENANAuIeE91OuhW
174Please respect copyright.PENANAAoDnklyDdY
174Please respect copyright.PENANABpLHVuMl4q
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.174Please respect copyright.PENANAJaWWStyqPb
174Please respect copyright.PENANAaiHFafvdbk
174Please respect copyright.PENANAeCIXWR5CvC
"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."174Please respect copyright.PENANAX1wz71XKVR
174Please respect copyright.PENANAaCNcGPVTNE
174Please respect copyright.PENANALpuNUr2M7c
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.174Please respect copyright.PENANAzS8DzW3yid

174Please respect copyright.PENANA3EEuE397rd
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."174Please respect copyright.PENANAsLaabewyGN
174Please respect copyright.PENANAzryxvoNmIy
174Please respect copyright.PENANAetKIWlHxZY
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANA85W4nQdYVP
174Please respect copyright.PENANALjwP4zdtak
174Please respect copyright.PENANARUdpXpUnE7
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.174Please respect copyright.PENANAF76jrZDrkH
174Please respect copyright.PENANAXgdLWKCnXl
174Please respect copyright.PENANAbGPd7JKk8C
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."174Please respect copyright.PENANAjFqUYbwNYw
174Please respect copyright.PENANArZThScaVbQ
174Please respect copyright.PENANAz9QhlIJ9CU
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.174Please respect copyright.PENANAkNGysv35Bb
174Please respect copyright.PENANAw19hmleqD2
174Please respect copyright.PENANAMIUEOoMv7B
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAZm2CsiFTdv
174Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ0I49dE4S
174Please respect copyright.PENANA99gxDWzKCw
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.174Please respect copyright.PENANAQTwKgdiGpe
174Please respect copyright.PENANAioEQMKW314
174Please respect copyright.PENANAPvcYXVjUEF
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."174Please respect copyright.PENANA5bPbdodxHP
174Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y0U9ummo6
174Please respect copyright.PENANAAFD2fs7AF3
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."174Please respect copyright.PENANAioIlEBtPSg
174Please respect copyright.PENANARfjwUJ2R3U
174Please respect copyright.PENANAshzsGosVBa
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANADg87m2GZIS
174Please respect copyright.PENANADV7IJibS3Q
174Please respect copyright.PENANAMkpJEsK0MN
"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."174Please respect copyright.PENANA1OjAAgWAb5
174Please respect copyright.PENANAmwfsroMk2y
174Please respect copyright.PENANAnVOxhMt5P2
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAzIo1C42IPX
174Please respect copyright.PENANAddVDKTbQ4h
174Please respect copyright.PENANAqNvRgpb8qg
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAUMw3RIp7zr
174Please respect copyright.PENANAdzGnwSxjQj
174Please respect copyright.PENANAUbFsCF6j1B
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAxd3S5jaV7j
174Please respect copyright.PENANATGRy6VtXkf
174Please respect copyright.PENANAKfosKh5l3D
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.174Please respect copyright.PENANAP1m5E3Ylob
174Please respect copyright.PENANAB4HuJuvVYM
174Please respect copyright.PENANA5tS86PVsTf
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"174Please respect copyright.PENANA0rwiRIco7y
174Please respect copyright.PENANAXC4PvLK6fz
174Please respect copyright.PENANAJnpXbV52Po
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANA594uw1IBDy
174Please respect copyright.PENANANJPSwqzLo1
174Please respect copyright.PENANAfLmSyjs23f
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.174Please respect copyright.PENANAw0crtrrjat
174Please respect copyright.PENANADzxVMBcbVC
174Please respect copyright.PENANALyrmNOa2hm
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:174Please respect copyright.PENANAFazarZ7T4u
174Please respect copyright.PENANAaAAHZsOG9x
174Please respect copyright.PENANAP0p2hkyYty
"Yes, I do."174Please respect copyright.PENANAvJeOpNTxOD
174Please respect copyright.PENANAhPDlcDP8o7
174Please respect copyright.PENANAQcbKXykzGZ
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.174Please respect copyright.PENANAC5lfQG5Shg
174Please respect copyright.PENANAkHJRws7KnB
174Please respect copyright.PENANAdcTj3RXfMd
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.174Please respect copyright.PENANAaK2DdX8WCO
174Please respect copyright.PENANAqPsV3czZnG
174Please respect copyright.PENANAF9d7I8NwTa
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAIG71JlIMTO
174Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ez6kyfiQV
174Please respect copyright.PENANA4vCx24FMDR
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
