“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.”196Please respect copyright.PENANAoo8nSDerOx

“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.”196Please respect copyright.PENANAaUerCL1vJo
196Please respect copyright.PENANAJVFKY2stx8
196Please respect copyright.PENANAPDCvVc5xNB
“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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAgggQDNiiJR

196Please respect copyright.PENANAZBmFwlXs3a

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.196Please respect copyright.PENANA4asSzx3gsR
196Please respect copyright.PENANAvfPnMJ00C4
196Please respect copyright.PENANATULc9NZ5b6
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAn3DTsr1v7I

196Please respect copyright.PENANA2Qxv1dEtQQ
196Please respect copyright.PENANAdQzERcQhur

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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAk3LwlNZsZg

196Please respect copyright.PENANA9tCgCYZJD2
“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?”196Please respect copyright.PENANAyIFdZxgEDF
196Please respect copyright.PENANA2f86Kafmjh
196Please respect copyright.PENANAhRdPw6V7oL
“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.196Please respect copyright.PENANA4DOSF2TScZ

196Please respect copyright.PENANA5eBJnuoQV4

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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAJPTbAIx8Z2

“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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAYHa9QKYsW6
196Please respect copyright.PENANAI7tvx9J7cD
196Please respect copyright.PENANA1vAo68BMpC
“He would,” Zoey answered, sitting in front of me. “It’s Johnny we’re talking about.”196Please respect copyright.PENANAxaJUAX6fsR
196Please respect copyright.PENANA3nDabNljfc
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7oQpP050zM
“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.”196Please respect copyright.PENANAHmWZc6Ngbh

196Please respect copyright.PENANAdJkpyShsBe
196Please respect copyright.PENANAq6MpS46xGA

196Please respect copyright.PENANAeIYHXiQ5j5
196Please respect copyright.PENANAWzWfoS10Yi

196Please respect copyright.PENANAqVolaiwFVH
196Please respect copyright.PENANATtO4kWXP0W
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAbi7dC5oudR
196Please respect copyright.PENANADBQVfrJeLn
196Please respect copyright.PENANAM2NY8riD66
“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?”196Please respect copyright.PENANASM014dDoqd
196Please respect copyright.PENANACG7P64ai7u
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVX22THUMBV
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANA3T1dDsvbbY
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVzGWJm7773

196Please respect copyright.PENANATNhR2LFnn5
196Please respect copyright.PENANArDRkCNVKVQ

196Please respect copyright.PENANAfH1o062tg3
196Please respect copyright.PENANAL3DB5jGLOQ

“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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAXq5KwdYJm1
196Please respect copyright.PENANAW2cwGCmvyk
196Please respect copyright.PENANABQW3U2dMvy
“Don’t even try and bail him out of this,” said Zoey as she wagged her index finger. “He’s been doing things like this whenever he gets near us.”196Please respect copyright.PENANA07EShjyEiW
196Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3RO63Utza
196Please respect copyright.PENANAtm7RMqILE7

196Please respect copyright.PENANAy8E9YnRKiq
196Please respect copyright.PENANA21kFw8VGly

196Please respect copyright.PENANA9sfgiBujlo
196Please respect copyright.PENANAoSqDOyaLrn
“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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAxHkqaGmYsB
196Please respect copyright.PENANAEGzm5IXMMq
196Please respect copyright.PENANAZMRPg4p5IP
“Sure,” she started to make her way to the couch with Seunghoon and Mino stepping aside for her to pass.196Please respect copyright.PENANAnPGN81OEH6
196Please respect copyright.PENANAh1hMnTemng
196Please respect copyright.PENANAK5KeMRZjGq

196Please respect copyright.PENANARJ4aTYoypz

196Please respect copyright.PENANAM85swwaUfg
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMqCt1lDExF
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAjF167oGLxX

“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.”196Please respect copyright.PENANAcpKxVWKWnB

196Please respect copyright.PENANA7NQR6CM8aG
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7MyabseNjw

196Please respect copyright.PENANAwW18dxRC6u
"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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAokhPrrc6WG

196Please respect copyright.PENANAQnlGKIlElI
"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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAPBqAjbi8c8
196Please respect copyright.PENANA24xGGxw6cC
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVifoRArf9O

196Please respect copyright.PENANAMRxoD3Kxi5
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9wAFDXTw0N

196Please respect copyright.PENANA4w8tL78cjm
196Please respect copyright.PENANAHkxCi2fGoz
"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."196Please respect copyright.PENANA6N2FzcQPY7
196Please respect copyright.PENANA80uHVFMAqH

196Please respect copyright.PENANAPyiW4zdEDp
196Please respect copyright.PENANAlfbAIzqtj8
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAoKpjNsAI51
196Please respect copyright.PENANAQmbEAcjafn
196Please respect copyright.PENANAYV26dkJyKv
His phone on the other end started to ring. We all waited in silence for what felt like a minute when Zoey said:196Please respect copyright.PENANAT3l5PcEBKk
196Please respect copyright.PENANAHFlMWvDtjO
196Please respect copyright.PENANAtZkQtWQVJO

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:196Please respect copyright.PENANAPxkdJUOfJr
196Please respect copyright.PENANA2ltq4pNAx4

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.196Please respect copyright.PENANABa7EoHnFH4
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfwlNNHssjY
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaWGBYzlxGE
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.196Please respect copyright.PENANAy9ljjR78kA
196Please respect copyright.PENANAyH6FDmJDlH
196Please respect copyright.PENANAnhyI3cx4Z5
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.196Please respect copyright.PENANAwsggQywD5A
196Please respect copyright.PENANACPWmsB4fa0
196Please respect copyright.PENANAD0SvtRR3Bp
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.196Please respect copyright.PENANAKlJr23rv1W
196Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ83aqYXTi
196Please respect copyright.PENANACBvQNY6PE4
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."196Please respect copyright.PENANArngOgg2xjO
196Please respect copyright.PENANAvVqQgf7FP0
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7mCN3g9xe8
"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."196Please respect copyright.PENANA5C3uwMi0y6
196Please respect copyright.PENANAzhnvkYqRbj
196Please respect copyright.PENANAnCh6QuhqEt
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.196Please respect copyright.PENANA3HZLJQJ7MS
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFBg43yYNfW
196Please respect copyright.PENANA8pMvEdyW3f
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAq2xBc9UZ0f
196Please respect copyright.PENANAruqIYBpf7P
196Please respect copyright.PENANA4E4OLxm5KJ
"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?196Please respect copyright.PENANALusvNejAqE
196Please respect copyright.PENANADafJda9eSq
196Please respect copyright.PENANALpmO6bRMhQ
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.196Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ5obl1SPV
196Please respect copyright.PENANAW7iVJS0FaS
196Please respect copyright.PENANAc4mdkDzHJH
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAj8qJbgsPrT
196Please respect copyright.PENANA3y5oKXRk3S
196Please respect copyright.PENANAR4mb887tN9

"I just want to ask how you were able to come up with your amazing songs," said Mino.196Please respect copyright.PENANARLcpmNsAtF
196Please respect copyright.PENANAKP7MiQuggS
196Please respect copyright.PENANADZQw7GDTIK
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.196Please respect copyright.PENANARX7UrJw9Oo
196Please respect copyright.PENANA0zdvaFk00Z
196Please respect copyright.PENANABUlxSIBLDB
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.196Please respect copyright.PENANAULws6XjpPH
196Please respect copyright.PENANArS5GTOjaxh
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMNWbnjsQPN
"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."196Please respect copyright.PENANAOfidQWGitk
196Please respect copyright.PENANAKVJFYFQZOO
196Please respect copyright.PENANAjoOmOKMumx
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.196Please respect copyright.PENANASWPFTGLtZQ
196Please respect copyright.PENANANcPzf6S1KL
196Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ6fb19lFT
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."196Please respect copyright.PENANAQffuThjgaM
196Please respect copyright.PENANAKT1J5lnEf5
196Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ56IxXAzg
"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.196Please respect copyright.PENANANgWdpzHXPD
196Please respect copyright.PENANAP0CSRDhYO1
196Please respect copyright.PENANAnrGGoGUcas
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.196Please respect copyright.PENANAwpfYSi3wbK
196Please respect copyright.PENANATHKa677BWQ
196Please respect copyright.PENANALKUNlIs0N4
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."196Please respect copyright.PENANAU97DDqsmkC
196Please respect copyright.PENANANOfqgI1BtP
196Please respect copyright.PENANAhEFTO3M5VJ
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.196Please respect copyright.PENANAxgknLVyPnf
196Please respect copyright.PENANARuudMeNTQJ
196Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ6evEhNJH
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAgcQhp3shC1
196Please respect copyright.PENANASDJBoupN1y
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGVOywHZB44
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.196Please respect copyright.PENANAhqBXRKsOcy
196Please respect copyright.PENANAqGJ4jFYYlw
196Please respect copyright.PENANA0BqEf3Awgd
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."196Please respect copyright.PENANAllVYJgZNUB
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVu45l8Ji9h
196Please respect copyright.PENANAr4CUWe34l2
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."196Please respect copyright.PENANAHGpmBT3M42
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7P5q5ZuLDz
196Please respect copyright.PENANAPiVrgvyGup
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAjxKK1gRRxl
196Please respect copyright.PENANAM19QwApNCG
196Please respect copyright.PENANASFIgg5pet7
"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."196Please respect copyright.PENANA6MXyrZmNhk
196Please respect copyright.PENANAItaQv08CHa
196Please respect copyright.PENANAc0lxX9VBMH
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAwBIPITOAEW
196Please respect copyright.PENANAL5G6K02Yjb
196Please respect copyright.PENANA1xeNwZiSl8
"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.196Please respect copyright.PENANA2DVbPqCiU7
196Please respect copyright.PENANAwJr1qrCU2A
196Please respect copyright.PENANAeuTxx0edt8
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAFiRPPttc3g
196Please respect copyright.PENANA6MjutpRnoE
196Please respect copyright.PENANA2dRNpRP01T
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.196Please respect copyright.PENANAwdU6dncxGW
196Please respect copyright.PENANA5hTKOaFMuq
196Please respect copyright.PENANAbk9spXEruO
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"196Please respect copyright.PENANAiS2aOf6QXu
196Please respect copyright.PENANAknrBEOFy85
196Please respect copyright.PENANAEC2LmQJw3K
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAcqMYBXON1A
196Please respect copyright.PENANANwTXKl7SJG
196Please respect copyright.PENANAHLpNR19oqw
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.196Please respect copyright.PENANAUGjVG955ua
196Please respect copyright.PENANA6twMmjeket
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAp0foKJl1T
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:196Please respect copyright.PENANAOodhAJEyfh
196Please respect copyright.PENANAqwbO2tya4C
196Please respect copyright.PENANARaUUj95UUP
"Yes, I do."196Please respect copyright.PENANA3RVG06l0TC
196Please respect copyright.PENANAK6lqtfQfUm
196Please respect copyright.PENANAlFC6KnmLaQ
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.196Please respect copyright.PENANAMKxBm99Kff
196Please respect copyright.PENANApOtQPEBCgc
196Please respect copyright.PENANAglUvGUXsqL
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.196Please respect copyright.PENANAJVNCiMLeBP
196Please respect copyright.PENANAJjQ8RdR2SO
196Please respect copyright.PENANAxDaAQ28K9q
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ18Skdb7v
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfub3X7NOlb
196Please respect copyright.PENANA3O9O7hIelv
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
