“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.”197Please respect copyright.PENANALh37Xn1HHh

“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.”197Please respect copyright.PENANAb33GoVAB8J
197Please respect copyright.PENANAgFaIx5PT2Q
197Please respect copyright.PENANARn42oi6xBn
“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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAp0qUGlH7ca

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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAFxOZMeoRQM
197Please respect copyright.PENANAOh185k4lbj
197Please respect copyright.PENANAYi4Bm10m75
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAZDhf5AfXH3

“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?”197Please respect copyright.PENANAUCbVFAT6GW
197Please respect copyright.PENANAEC7Lxtfwak
197Please respect copyright.PENANAotigs4skwg
“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.197Please respect copyright.PENANABz4K26aSkG

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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAaygcLpuF0q

“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.197Please respect copyright.PENANA5lj1pUMbwk

197Please respect copyright.PENANA9rFrQC4CTI
“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?”197Please respect copyright.PENANAJ91WW454jE
197Please respect copyright.PENANASbvfN1vuGJ
197Please respect copyright.PENANA1ArFVMmQ5x
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANA9fdAxiVtxn

197Please respect copyright.PENANAZSz1aNiKqm

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

197Please respect copyright.PENANAlItqdVjM8u
197Please respect copyright.PENANALYsk6HHxRI

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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAom86jGeahm
197Please respect copyright.PENANAesKU2G4QrB
197Please respect copyright.PENANA7S94OAIWgK
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.197Please respect copyright.PENANA6geXd2fMRj
197Please respect copyright.PENANAA86H6e3ERl
197Please respect copyright.PENANAIX5cpqRX27
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.197Please respect copyright.PENANAg6juNHfKqh
197Please respect copyright.PENANA9xpcuFnNq3
197Please respect copyright.PENANAXbSDiEM2uW
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.197Please respect copyright.PENANAB8kbZWvU1H
197Please respect copyright.PENANAbNm9cITusK
197Please respect copyright.PENANAY2J8q1ewlC

197Please respect copyright.PENANAuqapOv3QWh
197Please respect copyright.PENANAUPC4XX02AH
"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."197Please respect copyright.PENANAdPhrWeufU4
197Please respect copyright.PENANAL4l2noy5sx
197Please respect copyright.PENANAXiITg1Dw51
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.197Please respect copyright.PENANANgYNTw7cSF
197Please respect copyright.PENANAsnlduVqOqv
197Please respect copyright.PENANAy35ZYubXTn
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANA81AUvOIxXd
197Please respect copyright.PENANAG2eR5rWVzq
197Please respect copyright.PENANA5BYe30xZjb
"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?197Please respect copyright.PENANAk3osSgmAu1
197Please respect copyright.PENANAttpCUrKfv9
197Please respect copyright.PENANAXjo0wsRYjH
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.197Please respect copyright.PENANAb36wyqDLV0
197Please respect copyright.PENANArqt1FUDXB1
197Please respect copyright.PENANALCsPYVdWQJ
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANALfu88me6Qa
197Please respect copyright.PENANAuW980pdmDa
197Please respect copyright.PENANAZPxdIpFHoG

197Please respect copyright.PENANAbFSRoQlCvm
197Please respect copyright.PENANApUjDXWKGsq
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.197Please respect copyright.PENANAwzcYlmXPKS
197Please respect copyright.PENANA4V9mE0wUbU
197Please respect copyright.PENANANLOLoZQtO8
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.197Please respect copyright.PENANAs2jpx4nJw8
197Please respect copyright.PENANApi8hXEYkHg
197Please respect copyright.PENANAzN5d3hKoeM
"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."197Please respect copyright.PENANAk7iLOAxKno
197Please respect copyright.PENANAYBiyrQHvOu
197Please respect copyright.PENANANBPM1yNqwH
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.197Please respect copyright.PENANABG3Ld7GlRq

197Please respect copyright.PENANAbFOqJEIWcX
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."197Please respect copyright.PENANAhYj0ES0G8D
197Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q3e0As4Ye
197Please respect copyright.PENANArMI9YWN5L5
"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAB7riZg26iY
197Please respect copyright.PENANAfmAZnCGCF7
197Please respect copyright.PENANAvakGlR9GUE
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.197Please respect copyright.PENANA7fREdxrU2M
197Please respect copyright.PENANAvUFE4Rl3oQ
197Please respect copyright.PENANAjLW8J3piC9
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."197Please respect copyright.PENANAbXcgjtEqOl
197Please respect copyright.PENANAc8G5Qro82W
197Please respect copyright.PENANAlj27s9qw6U

197Please respect copyright.PENANAkrUtyHivZd
197Please respect copyright.PENANA3QplLou9HE
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAhPkkmBsl7O
197Please respect copyright.PENANAqqDu7S6nUO
197Please respect copyright.PENANA7PJ8MQPwSt
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.197Please respect copyright.PENANACeQUtieZMz
197Please respect copyright.PENANADMO8DACIuy
197Please respect copyright.PENANAkTYBUSGRKe
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."197Please respect copyright.PENANAZlSqzo3Rk6
197Please respect copyright.PENANAUpCjBBSDuS
197Please respect copyright.PENANAgCPGsAe534
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."197Please respect copyright.PENANALVeDfdnw8t
197Please respect copyright.PENANA0AQHuI1mju
197Please respect copyright.PENANAaktei4aXFm
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAcy4DUxLuyB
197Please respect copyright.PENANAhRpfo31tb6
197Please respect copyright.PENANAwGnc6OazkI
"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."197Please respect copyright.PENANAfv1Yx2tUs4
197Please respect copyright.PENANAE3ezHb84Pb
197Please respect copyright.PENANAUXOO473WZY
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANATOOJaZ8L7T
197Please respect copyright.PENANA7GdDoNPIKZ
197Please respect copyright.PENANAFI43HMGnpE
"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANARiAaJuoobX
197Please respect copyright.PENANAO49nXvNp5i
197Please respect copyright.PENANAZo6g6PymRT
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAyDQLUkpgZm
197Please respect copyright.PENANA4a9t6MZNP9
197Please respect copyright.PENANAYtjSBMSCDl
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.197Please respect copyright.PENANAWPr6ljesem
197Please respect copyright.PENANAryLHTJIHwJ
197Please respect copyright.PENANAqB13wdibFm
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"197Please respect copyright.PENANAdixQ1Me66i
197Please respect copyright.PENANAk1dg35EPpD
197Please respect copyright.PENANAFLg9mqbOkF
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAEc0HofFPN2
197Please respect copyright.PENANAW3D9zmotkZ
197Please respect copyright.PENANAaZcVXHQ7bv
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.197Please respect copyright.PENANASKMwzNNmc6
197Please respect copyright.PENANATh1Ty8Ueux
197Please respect copyright.PENANAT2Drn8yixO
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:197Please respect copyright.PENANAP35HBoFHRs
197Please respect copyright.PENANArUaosUYjZL
197Please respect copyright.PENANAfdYHSIHDAG
"Yes, I do."197Please respect copyright.PENANAw84zdjsm8r
197Please respect copyright.PENANA63ukhrNwX4
197Please respect copyright.PENANA3UbhYWGXH8
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.197Please respect copyright.PENANAXkKRCCG0Cs
197Please respect copyright.PENANA6FjiXsrloF
197Please respect copyright.PENANAvfUpEgFkyw
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.197Please respect copyright.PENANAyQQl2L2Mmx
197Please respect copyright.PENANAf6faZR6IIk
197Please respect copyright.PENANALHT5V3bsTn
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAJUQpkwrm1Z
197Please respect copyright.PENANAnXd5wOLFvk
197Please respect copyright.PENANASG7MfEKlC7
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
