Meeting WINNER the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAraeowgnwKs
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 775Please respect copyright.PENANAudahk3hF9L
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 775Please respect copyright.PENANAHK4NnNVxrL
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 775Please respect copyright.PENANAUxqc3DkMXX
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 775Please respect copyright.PENANAoQuB3y0eBr
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.775Please respect copyright.PENANAdWLinulcFf
With the little time we 775Please respect copyright.PENANAwgwajn31AO
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again775Please respect copyright.PENANAPrtvwiXrdI
as we all got to know each other.775Please respect copyright.PENANAR6OrkXvNAy
Seungyoon, the leader 775Please respect copyright.PENANA0DlH6plIBD
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 775Please respect copyright.PENANA2wiTUprVPU
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a775Please respect copyright.PENANAqUAhaov215
fun and nice person to be around with.775Please respect copyright.PENANA8zuagQItuq
Then there is Mino, who 775Please respect copyright.PENANA6YovTn3GBD
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for775Please respect copyright.PENANAMIerei61iL
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 775Please respect copyright.PENANAVdzU5k39Xk
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.775Please respect copyright.PENANAcVjubm8ghh
As for Jinwoo and 775Please respect copyright.PENANA4HeMXWC2Uf
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.775Please respect copyright.PENANAtzbyV27xIq
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 775Please respect copyright.PENANAvfiDG3wI4s
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 775Please respect copyright.PENANAlTRXUsUNum
in Korea.775Please respect copyright.PENANAeqsBqJPjan
As for Seunghoon, I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAseN1kpKDhE
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking775Please respect copyright.PENANArwwwwKgUmS
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 775Please respect copyright.PENANAr3mqYh1etX
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.775Please respect copyright.PENANAqdS4mnI7Qa
Before they left, we 775Please respect copyright.PENANAXxvjsVr31E
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 775Please respect copyright.PENANAGCtF7Dmho1
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 775Please respect copyright.PENANAjixb0gih8y
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 775Please respect copyright.PENANAIyaVCZ8H5b
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done775Please respect copyright.PENANA8QplrgIU9G
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 775Please respect copyright.PENANAyZh8BZV7KO
place?775Please respect copyright.PENANAMXMKRoh5W1
I already had that part 775Please respect copyright.PENANAADOw4ZTUtB
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 775Please respect copyright.PENANAgrE0stru8O
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 775Please respect copyright.PENANAgbZQ8lH0KO
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 775Please respect copyright.PENANADRmeA3ptsF
wouldn't have to break a sweat.775Please respect copyright.PENANA9j3wh7XKSS
Right now, this very 775Please respect copyright.PENANATaBrZEIzNK
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 775Please respect copyright.PENANA89eahIRkv0
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 775Please respect copyright.PENANAwUcH9i999L
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee775Please respect copyright.PENANAbx1sE5vTJD
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 775Please respect copyright.PENANA9r0erhGNPa
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 775Please respect copyright.PENANAnrOG2lJuWm
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.775Please respect copyright.PENANAFfRvNrxYBV
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.775Please respect copyright.PENANAH7nLk3xKwN
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAXJE6lYvmIz
"I'm tired of sleeping,"775Please respect copyright.PENANARRHnrdXE8J
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 775Please respect copyright.PENANA8R0aDLuAd9
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 775Please respect copyright.PENANAzGsP7lT2Lo
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.775Please respect copyright.PENANA7FqEaRhUoQ
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.775Please respect copyright.PENANAgL5ew29YVA
"Ya, I guess," I replied as I leaned back on my chair and rubbed my eyes. "I was thinking we get back to the old routine."775Please respect copyright.PENANAT8PbwtYTBI
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.775Please respect copyright.PENANA8MBdB02KMS
"You know, going for 775Please respect copyright.PENANAJAXQwBbBI0
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 775Please respect copyright.PENANA9A3Cc7Tzug
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 775Please respect copyright.PENANAuGZUDi4NU5
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 775Please respect copyright.PENANA9lECiksVTh
we try to do what we're familiar with."775Please respect copyright.PENANAWYyTjMM86E
"Mmmm, I guess you're 775Please respect copyright.PENANAK0gPIw1CUZ
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 775Please respect copyright.PENANAOF3VjXJAUe
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 775Please respect copyright.PENANAzUdpJc6u9l
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."775Please respect copyright.PENANAWm3rlHXnUm
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.775Please respect copyright.PENANAKdMfvbSKvJ
"Yep," Collins nodded 775Please respect copyright.PENANAxhwgouKwze
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 775Please respect copyright.PENANAgAgdxrrSMi
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 775Please respect copyright.PENANAMJU64QC2fR
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 775Please respect copyright.PENANA7r3yE5To0j
good now, will it?"775Please respect copyright.PENANALXiRHeEEb4
Wow. This was literally 775Please respect copyright.PENANAX5deMvKSB5
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 775Please respect copyright.PENANAxGIzXRwWAD
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.775Please respect copyright.PENANAAkvw6JtrK5
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.775Please respect copyright.PENANAZzScaZQvN8
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.775Please respect copyright.PENANAYSSSHrSPIP
I left the lounge at a 775Please respect copyright.PENANABMbkdXCKbb
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 775Please respect copyright.PENANACD5BYduO36
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door775Please respect copyright.PENANAqmLLhmIhyk
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.775Please respect copyright.PENANA4HbEvbzA02
Zoey sat up with a start775Please respect copyright.PENANAdSxgujpvh4
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 775Please respect copyright.PENANASY1xQQZmth
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.775Please respect copyright.PENANAV4teUdNX0k
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"775Please respect copyright.PENANA5jrcRiIucd
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.775Please respect copyright.PENANAvPUMw0FuD3
At first she didn't say a775Please respect copyright.PENANABlvltk9J4P
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 775Please respect copyright.PENANAjgtUP11Eeh
looking at me with her eyes wide open.775Please respect copyright.PENANA4frTo86zMV
"What did you say?" she asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAsVUl8SxTRs
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.775Please respect copyright.PENANAtshSKQdEnU
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"775Please respect copyright.PENANA5YYi58K5el
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."775Please respect copyright.PENANAemcAGbNb6e
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"775Please respect copyright.PENANA2LlkfOzVTj
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."775Please respect copyright.PENANAy6ZrPv7SdC
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."775Please respect copyright.PENANAzGEaRnSQWj
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.775Please respect copyright.PENANATMkjICFaOc
I went to wake up 775Please respect copyright.PENANAlRP0pUMLqG
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I775Please respect copyright.PENANAxHEZRCQYa0
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.775Please respect copyright.PENANAQSZQ7RRnbP
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAZboWf1RhGo
"I gave a reasonable 775Please respect copyright.PENANAw6rE93Fyiu
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 775Please respect copyright.PENANAcqEkpynCim
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAdMfaqUhb80
I noticed Christine 775Please respect copyright.PENANAmgXdKhveOn
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly775Please respect copyright.PENANA7E33aDuJi6
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 775Please respect copyright.PENANAyl2paj4wWi
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 775Please respect copyright.PENANAlGeUO5fMzw
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.775Please respect copyright.PENANA1YdWeknTHj
When we all had our bags775Please respect copyright.PENANAUezDqmYQoB
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 775Please respect copyright.PENANASJBMXbzIai
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 775Please respect copyright.PENANA2F9K8qK8d3
looked at us.775Please respect copyright.PENANAbfhXahjnRC
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.775Please respect copyright.PENANA27ru8eJKpQ
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."775Please respect copyright.PENANA6YbqiwRsJZ
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.775Please respect copyright.PENANAbnSQ0eLkmu
"I hate when you use my 775Please respect copyright.PENANAeHjUOVFvUe
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 775Please respect copyright.PENANAdW0qYoGCav
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."775Please respect copyright.PENANAHp0LcmFu2Y
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."775Please respect copyright.PENANAtGiA5sLfuX
Collins rolled his eyes 775Please respect copyright.PENANAfFokAP3dzw
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 775Please respect copyright.PENANAe0QLOPPSLe
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."775Please respect copyright.PENANAUg2JTRSzNj
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANA3HaZqn86ly
"I would really love to,775Please respect copyright.PENANAjyxtz6AdSh
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass775Please respect copyright.PENANAbOPaJP2XBs
by at lunchtime to check on you."775Please respect copyright.PENANA1iD1OVWLWj
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.775Please respect copyright.PENANALZUMFzHKqY
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.775Please respect copyright.PENANABOHacPlqsl
"Nothing," said Christine.775Please respect copyright.PENANARNi7mzBAMT
I noticed Mike give 775Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3UBogwReB
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut775Please respect copyright.PENANAoKQAG3VGbv
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 775Please respect copyright.PENANAmwnXEx8cdf
going on.775Please respect copyright.PENANAuzWwBXnitj
"It's just about the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAFQnFC82Csj
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 775Please respect copyright.PENANA0hrrFeQPBo
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 775Please respect copyright.PENANAgSe1uESiPu
happened."775Please respect copyright.PENANA3crDmk1o9N
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."775Please respect copyright.PENANAoAPIaLtFJb
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."775Please respect copyright.PENANAXo33sp0PLZ
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.775Please respect copyright.PENANAvz69iG1PZF
When we arrived at YG, 775Please respect copyright.PENANACAcguUe4RT
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 775Please respect copyright.PENANAkd8hQEfi8L
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.775Please respect copyright.PENANAtHKu0SOyCx
"I already informed the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAfoRcXEfgkQ
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 775Please respect copyright.PENANA9s8BgUHtnD
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAn4g7qavAco
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."775Please respect copyright.PENANAKBr8YwkIBB
"I know you will. See you later."775Please respect copyright.PENANAw16rtnzn3i
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.775Please respect copyright.PENANAPWxHnlSCG4
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.775Please respect copyright.PENANATfhWB2hNFE
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.775Please respect copyright.PENANAdY0roUGaSa
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.775Please respect copyright.PENANADtlOACQAvO
"Careful, Zoey," I said 775Please respect copyright.PENANASO6MEilrh2
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 775Please respect copyright.PENANABlJxH64KMJ
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."775Please respect copyright.PENANATcOeozR3NV
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.775Please respect copyright.PENANAXXr5bd9idF
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAxU5fLbDgeS
"I did that when we were in the car," I said when Zoey had finally let go of my neck and we had reached the elevator.775Please respect copyright.PENANAPfZRHEEoZ7
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.775Please respect copyright.PENANAgwdPVvvERa
"No," I said as the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAqEcKtjInAX
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 775Please respect copyright.PENANASVxVYtMsnY
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 775Please respect copyright.PENANAkXv3yzPTKh
studios.775Please respect copyright.PENANA8UlABaTyVT
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.775Please respect copyright.PENANA3j2xQQFpdc
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."775Please respect copyright.PENANAigBB4nzWn6
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."775Please respect copyright.PENANAKa0d3eBIW2
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.775Please respect copyright.PENANAidwmDtCC0O
"That's different."775Please respect copyright.PENANAOSUeYDHjRm
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."775Please respect copyright.PENANALBalDGyw68
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAUxErH4DfQJ
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."775Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0j6aucmc1
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.775Please respect copyright.PENANAQmslx3eKCp
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.775Please respect copyright.PENANARYusXQQZ6H
It was so much fun 775Please respect copyright.PENANAyVV4GmHJJB
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 775Please respect copyright.PENANAEStz2KCanG
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 775Please respect copyright.PENANALhuvxDYYu9
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.775Please respect copyright.PENANAnYzwPT6gro
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.775Please respect copyright.PENANAsWsubcphfq
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.775Please respect copyright.PENANAfqr5XhYex3
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."775Please respect copyright.PENANAqWcLB83R57
"I'm so glad I told Collins that we should do this again. You've become so lazy. Stand up. Let's go for another round."775Please respect copyright.PENANATEcljwnnWx
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAeTeuMKE0Tb
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.775Please respect copyright.PENANAT6SL4RVuE3
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.775Please respect copyright.PENANA76PdfuDB8x
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."775Please respect copyright.PENANA62IlwMCbve
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."775Please respect copyright.PENANAUPELCGRhHE
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."775Please respect copyright.PENANArK5mtDgJZX
"Come on, Zoey," I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAktj1wzt44a
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 775Please respect copyright.PENANAuRHFks4J43
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."775Please respect copyright.PENANAO5BsPXESwK
"What song?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAxQq6guUneM
I didn't answer when I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAngtgHIg60F
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 775Please respect copyright.PENANAEPMn9hQmiM
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAF8u1ZKQR9P
pill soon started to play.775Please respect copyright.PENANAgDCj3K4ZyD
I turned around and I found Zoey already up from the floor and looking at me. I smiled. I knew she would get up to this song.775Please respect copyright.PENANAIyPrRhUhE9
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.775Please respect copyright.PENANA37ShnNrdqn
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.775Please respect copyright.PENANA5il6nZDm2L
When the lyrics were sang out, Zoey started to dance and I watched her, then it was my turn to step in and dance too.775Please respect copyright.PENANA3UHP93e93y
It's been a while since I775Please respect copyright.PENANA91ufUdjZ3f
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 775Please respect copyright.PENANA98XFeDl3NJ
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 775Please respect copyright.PENANAOwZ7YxvgdR
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.775Please respect copyright.PENANALewyDkziZa
At the end of it, the 775Please respect copyright.PENANARcs8ok0E9r
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 775Please respect copyright.PENANAvbmxC6zD20
our moves synchronising with one another.775Please respect copyright.PENANA0uSoFkixK9
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.775Please respect copyright.PENANAeNE2XpmiFF
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."775Please respect copyright.PENANAasWRGrLrn5
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.775Please respect copyright.PENANAxa3dQuUDmQ
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.775Please respect copyright.PENANAY1rgxdYLSA
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.775Please respect copyright.PENANA4PgQGud5PT
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."775Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6r5NGB4DC
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."775Please respect copyright.PENANAm1BH7pYXMa
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.775Please respect copyright.PENANAY2MLkTRz9N
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.775Please respect copyright.PENANA85Hm9B3Wke
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANATPNby5qhlX
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.775Please respect copyright.PENANA8Rf1CQvh4o
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAqj66Gmzmjf
Mino and Seunghoon both 775Please respect copyright.PENANAPRi6ORHJ51
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 775Please respect copyright.PENANAQZReGtsP3Q
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.775Please respect copyright.PENANAQxsovDBTfi
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.775Please respect copyright.PENANAWPEpLIRxbl
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.775Please respect copyright.PENANAbcakrr0clO
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."775Please respect copyright.PENANAFwba2u2skR
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.775Please respect copyright.PENANAgSKRSCQ9qO
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAHR63PgDZxo
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 775Please respect copyright.PENANA21bxKbFZxw
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."775Please respect copyright.PENANA6HL3Uk47Kp
I shook my head at Zoey and said nothing. She could be so persistent at times and right now, I couldn't do anything to stop her.775Please respect copyright.PENANAPgw4RHOx3t
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.775Please respect copyright.PENANAeN1c10Cq0u
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAzhteTND9Q3
I nudged my head to the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAaKArBN6IgQ
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 775Please respect copyright.PENANADcsNaK2TiM
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the775Please respect copyright.PENANAywii33wpWg
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.775Please respect copyright.PENANA9Llxe0KPxr
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.775Please respect copyright.PENANAJkwRqBWbmP
Seunghoon lips were 775Please respect copyright.PENANA5jNCZN9VH4
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was775Please respect copyright.PENANAxMQLgcyBQF
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose775Please respect copyright.PENANA0GJtE6NSjo
focus.775Please respect copyright.PENANAB7r9NkHh1l
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.775Please respect copyright.PENANAsuSrQ55zbo
"The others might, but I775Please respect copyright.PENANAIxjAoll85I
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going775Please respect copyright.PENANAhnJVouRnOB
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 775Please respect copyright.PENANAtslUOudVsC
when TOP came to pick me up?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAakz28VBsPB
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."775Please respect copyright.PENANAWDi384ggWs
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAOAwixhkuTF
He again took a step closer. "Yes."775Please respect copyright.PENANA2DnjVsOvH5
Well, that made sense 775Please respect copyright.PENANASrq0d6lZiG
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 775Please respect copyright.PENANAO5e9uk30wD
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 775Please respect copyright.PENANAx5jZsIs3Xm
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 775Please respect copyright.PENANAMLdeusfW08
seen.775Please respect copyright.PENANAOPpKFCErpY
I hadn't realised it 775Please respect copyright.PENANAgUfXS3svgo
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking775Please respect copyright.PENANAf5sabFiqhK
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 775Please respect copyright.PENANA045shMHAgq
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 775Please respect copyright.PENANARxaF9Pzmk1
uncomfortable.775Please respect copyright.PENANAPArFT4Q3q3
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.775Please respect copyright.PENANASnodwB3Y3F
"Well, yes," he 775Please respect copyright.PENANAucriz7cZM3
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 775Please respect copyright.PENANAnLXUkXavit
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."775Please respect copyright.PENANAq7z3siPJX7
"If you're such a fan why didn't you stalk the others as well?" I asked as I looked at him. "I'm not the only Toxin."775Please respect copyright.PENANANW3tOUd5bI
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.775Please respect copyright.PENANAaW5ep7YrXw
I blushed and I was a 775Please respect copyright.PENANAn2FL7W77Zz
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 775Please respect copyright.PENANABYDlc9MXlR
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 775Please respect copyright.PENANApmwL9T1Y5b
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 775Please respect copyright.PENANAzpKdACI1GS
celebrities.775Please respect copyright.PENANA3HqUgjJ68h
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"775Please respect copyright.PENANA1vtRMBAqY8
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.775Please respect copyright.PENANASLheFj9wRo
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."775Please respect copyright.PENANAge3VxQ8hjg
"No, they don't," I lied775Please respect copyright.PENANALYK3zovpVJ
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 775Please respect copyright.PENANAc7Uboixjds
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 775Please respect copyright.PENANA2CwZbBVcUN
others had arrived.775Please respect copyright.PENANAyryjjRAmLf
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.775Please respect copyright.PENANAPdW2BBesRQ
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.775Please respect copyright.PENANAtloZNMiDUe
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.775Please respect copyright.PENANAg7DwKOQrLc
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAlrGLqnDod3
"Awesome," I replied.775Please respect copyright.PENANAVLp08SeGxU
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.775Please respect copyright.PENANAmQTlV7d0wd
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.775Please respect copyright.PENANAMVshJx7Xre
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.775Please respect copyright.PENANA1JPJGyBPEu
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.775Please respect copyright.PENANA3HvHPLpaYj
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.775Please respect copyright.PENANAnoqwZ99kXM
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.775Please respect copyright.PENANAmZqSaCes30
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."775Please respect copyright.PENANAdqZG7HXkKT
"And besides, you and I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAbM4eCgOKrj
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 775Please respect copyright.PENANAFib5DGcqxS
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 775Please respect copyright.PENANAhF03sLNrCR
and Seunghoon showed up."775Please respect copyright.PENANASQK3Bh0Mdt
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.775Please respect copyright.PENANAEXFsMUdPvj
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.775Please respect copyright.PENANAj0pw9EFSgU
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."775Please respect copyright.PENANA1aRrPNQfTB
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.775Please respect copyright.PENANAcKzBFxKmmp
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.775Please respect copyright.PENANAD3WKtGTwxH
Apparently, he wasn't 775Please respect copyright.PENANAi7TYiWEnJW
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all775Please respect copyright.PENANAOdeDs4nPBc
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that775Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ie5RCgFNG
just made him look even more adorable.775Please respect copyright.PENANAwuRq5J2imQ
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.775Please respect copyright.PENANAoPLBxFOaos
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."775Please respect copyright.PENANAw67XKRAUY6
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.775Please respect copyright.PENANA8JmnbT87aJ
"Yes!" I heard the four 775Please respect copyright.PENANA30MC4eoymp
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 775Please respect copyright.PENANAzVQ2H7HAIp
at the track list. Then, something came to me.775Please respect copyright.PENANAWAbWQB45Fg
"Change of plans, Zoey,"775Please respect copyright.PENANA1ca9VQnAe8
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want775Please respect copyright.PENANA2zsDHETjEf
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."775Please respect copyright.PENANAjqbWyJAcW0
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."775Please respect copyright.PENANAJhTnZUBiNt
"Since we danced to one of your favourite songs, I'll pick my own." I gave her a smirk. "And it's a k-pop song."775Please respect copyright.PENANA55Te9yyId5
"This just got interesting," said Mino.775Please respect copyright.PENANAy8wBNEn7k2
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAf4hFKE7nG9
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."775Please respect copyright.PENANAP66HzoXGUT
"Taeyang is going to 775Please respect copyright.PENANARLyIKbbf26
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 775Please respect copyright.PENANAJishnenP94
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."775Please respect copyright.PENANAAtolcWBhPT
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."775Please respect copyright.PENANAaBh9IuxY9E
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.775Please respect copyright.PENANAs49gdpRfEM
I tapped the track on my775Please respect copyright.PENANAKAutSh2Y0V
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 775Please respect copyright.PENANANnSeTWwfUk
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.775Please respect copyright.PENANAPR49OpIImf
When the song started, I775Please respect copyright.PENANAvy6P0X3Dhv
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 775Please respect copyright.PENANApiTHNLsHVa
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 775Please respect copyright.PENANAwzS3t6E85U
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAI6VID3Vqp8
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to775Please respect copyright.PENANAeIcdyfFNXa
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 775Please respect copyright.PENANA5gpQQDlQ3L
doing a pretty good with the moves too.775Please respect copyright.PENANAG2rX23IBhf
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.775Please respect copyright.PENANAdscJcroej7
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.775Please respect copyright.PENANAVmZZtcuzsi
"Whenever it came to the775Please respect copyright.PENANAN1DPfHRtSO
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 775Please respect copyright.PENANA3zAc5tvojM
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."775Please respect copyright.PENANAUqCyTUawJ9
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."775Please respect copyright.PENANAxCWK1NkPgH
"Thanks, guys," I said.775Please respect copyright.PENANACyK8DKinaK
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.775Please respect copyright.PENANAf5IfiLoP54
"Now, coming to my 775Please respect copyright.PENANA2QoFBpNewN
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 775Please respect copyright.PENANAiE9MDsz7cq
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 775Please respect copyright.PENANA0rgkl7rbs1
think is a better dancer?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAyZOhCEgFXD
"Wait," I said before anyone could say anything. I put the bottle of water to my lips and drank some water. "Don't answer that."775Please respect copyright.PENANA4j69yYzzgK
"Why?" Zoey asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANA2MB7F8L1WC
"I think you and I both 775Please respect copyright.PENANAQV3KDyYDUS
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 775Please respect copyright.PENANAKeL2gA3RFy
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 775Please respect copyright.PENANAuYlMnIPRlJ
That counts for something, right?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAzK3YQo2vH6
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."775Please respect copyright.PENANAE2uZR1WkBC
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."775Please respect copyright.PENANA1SstRRO2DV
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.775Please respect copyright.PENANAXPzUREkCTw
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAB9ZxVOlKsS
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAQkf6OpVtRd
"Well, ya." Mike 775Please respect copyright.PENANA24hJQ9eJdd
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 775Please respect copyright.PENANAshAuaJCOp5
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 775Please respect copyright.PENANAy02spVu66k
sentence as he looked at Zoey.775Please respect copyright.PENANAmQJeq9K68v
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."775Please respect copyright.PENANAP1vZ0r17bh
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.775Please respect copyright.PENANAM1G4l4EBKm
"I also think it will be775Please respect copyright.PENANAdSKDM9u0z1
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 775Please respect copyright.PENANA4L5nzEV2fY
obviously bring out a better opinion."775Please respect copyright.PENANAIcQprfdk9B
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.775Please respect copyright.PENANAEvoHIs7pNW
"Count me out of it," I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAxg9d7tLEDi
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 775Please respect copyright.PENANADVAiUK9UR7
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."775Please respect copyright.PENANAxfGaBCnzoH
"Fine, I'll create a 775Please respect copyright.PENANAa0AyCs7pCB
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how775Please respect copyright.PENANAnTd7cNkmCG
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though775Please respect copyright.PENANADuhEf2TuMA
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."775Please respect copyright.PENANAJYFu3oO38C
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."775Please respect copyright.PENANAiw2e0Tl0DN
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."775Please respect copyright.PENANA3kWSrD5Lct
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.775Please respect copyright.PENANA1pGLQJvCps
Zoey and Mike soon got 775Please respect copyright.PENANAn3l9TfMYfE
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 775Please respect copyright.PENANAbk9ZvT0G9f
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 775Please respect copyright.PENANAZH5wev4Q5q
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance775Please respect copyright.PENANAgdOr8cdD3R
battle.775Please respect copyright.PENANAgnkjSJg5CJ
I got my phone and the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAC7qoQT8Yp6
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAimCVD07trQ
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.775Please respect copyright.PENANAIfwywNu10Z
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.775Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2JQLAejTY
I turned to look at him 775Please respect copyright.PENANA7ooueI7wop
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 775Please respect copyright.PENANA8s8RJGm5GO
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 775Please respect copyright.PENANAgV7qgtepgn
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 775Please respect copyright.PENANAu9MZicxQnI
smile if they were to look at him.775Please respect copyright.PENANAJBytbDSHSD
"No," I replied, still with a smile on my face. "I don't want to know what the fans think and I'm clearly not in a mood."775Please respect copyright.PENANA6doVRcj4Rh
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.775Please respect copyright.PENANAzj0KTYv4xY
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."775Please respect copyright.PENANAGgwS53epHT
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."775Please respect copyright.PENANAKgHiCdvegU
"You're right about that."775Please respect copyright.PENANA3BxAnduIO7
I looked behind me with a775Please respect copyright.PENANAr8DgEp4wZR
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 775Please respect copyright.PENANAKusFyXGWJG
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 775Please respect copyright.PENANAeLddZdJ0bI
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 775Please respect copyright.PENANAGOqfAqUxFj
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.775Please respect copyright.PENANAs07g9dngcl
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 775Please respect copyright.PENANAbXHrc0mV4l
"Not anytime soon," I said as I looked at him. "What are we planning to do today, anyway? We all can't stay here at YG."775Please respect copyright.PENANAUKi0C8gYHN
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAFOuYOdU9Tz
"No, not yet actually." I stared at my phone to look at the time. "It's almost ten. Collins expects us to be here till lunch."775Please respect copyright.PENANASsJ5oJOsyb
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."775Please respect copyright.PENANAA4tyDXENVJ
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."775Please respect copyright.PENANAMHyEHHSeht
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.775Please respect copyright.PENANAjDRhrNBhSJ
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.775Please respect copyright.PENANAKDxJ3dEdkV
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAvobay6Hq2g
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."775Please respect copyright.PENANAUWVVoiv0Xs
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANANyFwK2jYSO
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."775Please respect copyright.PENANA8NhPlxpO4h
"I sure hope so," I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAcfNh2wM0Ir
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 775Please respect copyright.PENANA7oUf0UouPb
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."775Please respect copyright.PENANAnuYubJDeEy
"What about those two?" 775Please respect copyright.PENANAuq4m0BKL0h
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 775Please respect copyright.PENANARWmwAAfd73
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 775Please respect copyright.PENANAnsRcK6Odi8
soon.775Please respect copyright.PENANAV8nF0jhFZG
"They will notice when 775Please respect copyright.PENANAk2jyLZMrkj
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 775Please respect copyright.PENANAWhwUsBcxyG
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAjOQpJ0TLia
"Sure," he said with a smile.775Please respect copyright.PENANA6rtC5O1e4s
Christine, Daniel and I 775Please respect copyright.PENANA4oiCmMDold
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 775Please respect copyright.PENANA4AI5YqnELW
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.775Please respect copyright.PENANAFYpJg6pRQp
Twenty minutes later, I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAPMEBTIwnqX
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 775Please respect copyright.PENANAKjLg0ivU55
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 775Please respect copyright.PENANAqoj8dZunHQ
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 775Please respect copyright.PENANA8DRTGwELZi
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 775Please respect copyright.PENANAML3Wf9gZAt
in the shower room, still patching herself up.775Please respect copyright.PENANAei4pQnfx0E
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.775Please respect copyright.PENANA5c8MhKLxPH
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."775Please respect copyright.PENANArWULVhjMYi
"Why? Anything special?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAhVNol4erdI
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.775Please respect copyright.PENANAFEh9SUI7hg
"Oh, nothing," I stared 775Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ6DOybhEg
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAOqa1al39W6
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 775Please respect copyright.PENANAGa83Idl0pD
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."775Please respect copyright.PENANAzmvIGw29tk
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.775Please respect copyright.PENANAgTTsfy51jg
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.775Please respect copyright.PENANAi4S3pgBLJ1
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.775Please respect copyright.PENANA05UOkKiDFA
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.775Please respect copyright.PENANAvSKvnblDDX
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."775Please respect copyright.PENANA58vErlcWCO
"What are you talking about?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAchhFX7gpMW
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"775Please respect copyright.PENANArrhRctDFrU
Christine's mouth fell 775Please respect copyright.PENANAa9xMDLAIpF
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 775Please respect copyright.PENANA4snsxobdvW
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.775Please respect copyright.PENANAawhsAzWRZG
"No, I don't," she said.775Please respect copyright.PENANAyyk9Gi1pum
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAPN5uNEvqMO
do like him but only as a fan girl."775Please respect copyright.PENANAmBLA1lNw6h
"Please, I saw the way 775Please respect copyright.PENANAyxTk5aIIvN
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that775Please respect copyright.PENANAPbSveT8uKT
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."775Please respect copyright.PENANA2VBkqZedF6
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 775Please respect copyright.PENANAGburKvsA0M
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of775Please respect copyright.PENANADQpAECJpWL
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 775Please respect copyright.PENANAUfwSRuZudw
more."775Please respect copyright.PENANA6wKIDH4Cj2
"Ya, right," I said as I775Please respect copyright.PENANALNjeK41TCE
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 775Please respect copyright.PENANApOADfN91AZ
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 775Please respect copyright.PENANA7iMz9045cQ
weird look on your face."775Please respect copyright.PENANAyyn2Imv88b
"What weird look?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAjUCwGbN2Yc
"The jealous one."775Please respect copyright.PENANAAyT3bKOKvh
"Spare me the drama, Sam."775Please respect copyright.PENANAHGM34Gl883
"If Zoey was the one 775Please respect copyright.PENANA563Ef0dwJq
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 775Please respect copyright.PENANATkQJg7XNEu
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 775Please respect copyright.PENANA9i3wLflVws
Jinwoo."775Please respect copyright.PENANAgw9x28vKGI
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.775Please respect copyright.PENANAs0ovFy0ElL
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAUaxd5XvQ96
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."775Please respect copyright.PENANAgrZeSWyW7Q
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.775Please respect copyright.PENANAM33Juzu2Ml
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.775Please respect copyright.PENANAh49LajIWwb
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.775Please respect copyright.PENANAi8FaUmmrih
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.775Please respect copyright.PENANAsTwCr65cFu
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.775Please respect copyright.PENANAHgm3UNyGkf
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAZ65fDFtSxr
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.775Please respect copyright.PENANAFeAJinreDj
Mike gave Christine a 775Please respect copyright.PENANAwhc0etOJxB
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 775Please respect copyright.PENANABBa62vSj0p
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't775Please respect copyright.PENANA7yy9hVhgWh
wrong about that.775Please respect copyright.PENANANeiJmjfpL1
We decided to go back to775Please respect copyright.PENANAT5Zzd79Nlj
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 775Please respect copyright.PENANAvwYqQZL97k
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,775Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mnh4kKXSC
this happened:775Please respect copyright.PENANA8us8ZV1PnI
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.775Please respect copyright.PENANAO2p8kFZOfm
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.775Please respect copyright.PENANA4s0rRrwvmC
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.775Please respect copyright.PENANA7xgo2ic6yR
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."775Please respect copyright.PENANACQE8e28jF8
I wanted to frown at him775Please respect copyright.PENANAkuQXkzppwL
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 775Please respect copyright.PENANAhGKAQuDtpy
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.775Please respect copyright.PENANAf7wqR5cZHv
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.775Please respect copyright.PENANA2GQ8zcEsBE
I looked at Jinwoo and I775Please respect copyright.PENANA50BhBh5xVQ
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 775Please respect copyright.PENANAW3yP1sQxYf
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 775Please respect copyright.PENANAJMVSK5vNWX
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.775Please respect copyright.PENANAf5SFOBHbPW
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.775Please respect copyright.PENANA4SsaGavTq3
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANA0PgdNOLFtV
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.775Please respect copyright.PENANANVRZ25TQAM
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."775Please respect copyright.PENANAq0G6kp4rWr
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAvjZ1wMpL6z
"Good idea. Let's go."775Please respect copyright.PENANAdLYjLozd0p
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAnG3e8s527o
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.775Please respect copyright.PENANAINobMDktQB
Before he could say 775Please respect copyright.PENANARlDofh9QSE
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I775Please respect copyright.PENANAUYJHENBzdY
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped775Please respect copyright.PENANADPHk9ztFji
out of the room, he was snickering.775Please respect copyright.PENANAZLU19xEFHC
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.775Please respect copyright.PENANAVqhGg7EoWv
"Just because I'm his 775Please respect copyright.PENANANRqHaj6cUN
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being775Please respect copyright.PENANA7KaNanPeSR
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAANkYU8n8km
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."775Please respect copyright.PENANAO95uPAVcHp
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"775Please respect copyright.PENANA9hNgyA6nGv
"Actually, it was only 775Please respect copyright.PENANAljRCx4xTQ8
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 775Please respect copyright.PENANAtpsZGsbRP5
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."775Please respect copyright.PENANA949Wgt8XJT
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.775Please respect copyright.PENANA74YiE6NIJq
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.775Please respect copyright.PENANAnjsHBtxEZm
When we got to the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAzaXaCXvRFm
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 775Please respect copyright.PENANA8Omd4r30tA
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 775Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rnl58hFcW
inside the elevator.775Please respect copyright.PENANAlpo69ZaMqM
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.775Please respect copyright.PENANAGgoTUYgDdA
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."775Please respect copyright.PENANAuG2a3Ndhqa
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.775Please respect copyright.PENANAVSPVDTH93n
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.775Please respect copyright.PENANAzr2fZ0Ik4L
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."775Please respect copyright.PENANAvVWzkB4Fbq
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.775Please respect copyright.PENANACEUoilZjzY
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAfGSTLrIOIW
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."775Please respect copyright.PENANAa1CxVUHBfB
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."775Please respect copyright.PENANARRSqcsW4Bx
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."775Please respect copyright.PENANAbwl2PsbzYq
"Well, if you're 775Please respect copyright.PENANAaT0SKH4a3d
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 775Please respect copyright.PENANAT3375mPk6V
his face and I could tell something was up.775Please respect copyright.PENANAn8m3J3gi0T
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"775Please respect copyright.PENANA9KhrsPwAIw
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."775Please respect copyright.PENANAI5JnOhmUyv
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAy9N4T1SnQK
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."775Please respect copyright.PENANAaofpKWq614
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.775Please respect copyright.PENANAiRBAGotG5w
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."775Please respect copyright.PENANAQKsOf0vw0E
"I came to see you guys 775Please respect copyright.PENANAjpJEM70Un5
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 775Please respect copyright.PENANAEDnchdmPuX
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."775Please respect copyright.PENANAGCv3QXwtDh
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."775Please respect copyright.PENANAIUy4ZMA6vx
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."775Please respect copyright.PENANAuZeX4S8Hml
"Okay, then you go and 775Please respect copyright.PENANA0875XGSABG
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino775Please respect copyright.PENANAFzQul7vvRK
to get Zoey as fast as we could."775Please respect copyright.PENANADBQh4DRd9y
"I hate it when someone orders me around but I'll do it for you anyway," said TOP as he held my chin for a brief moment.775Please respect copyright.PENANAgFMR73GU1R
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.775Please respect copyright.PENANAxTPqLy8boZ
We headed downstairs to 775Please respect copyright.PENANAn86W7YSTQh
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 775Please respect copyright.PENANAE1phSzMTcJ
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.775Please respect copyright.PENANAvNLSx2AsYj
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"775Please respect copyright.PENANA3QnzqkqTVy
"Trying to look good," 775Please respect copyright.PENANA3haXd0ElbW
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 775Please respect copyright.PENANAr7M0VaMrp5
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 775Please respect copyright.PENANAQovJSFwJP5
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."775Please respect copyright.PENANAi7H7JLNkqH
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.775Please respect copyright.PENANAONS3DATgpt
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.775Please respect copyright.PENANAbG7kcouC17
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."775Please respect copyright.PENANAj1uY6JNiwd
"You're kidding, right?"775Please respect copyright.PENANANGVtZX8Er9
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."775Please respect copyright.PENANAkPsaut1JKs
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAKhfqODQIsw
"He shouldn't see The Toxins with WINNER," I said. "That's what we have to do. Come on, let's go before he gets here."775Please respect copyright.PENANA86lLIil2s1
Just as I turned around 775Please respect copyright.PENANAXYfiE3K1Lx
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 775Please respect copyright.PENANA4HyES5s68P
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 775Please respect copyright.PENANAEnBp6u9RrA
the the floor we were on.775Please respect copyright.PENANA969qTtf21x
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.775Please respect copyright.PENANAHFw2T4Ydi9
Just as we turned round a775Please respect copyright.PENANAVhjW9jHLNj
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 775Please respect copyright.PENANAxjhL9zNCx4
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAXhkv1HoHR1
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 775Please respect copyright.PENANAB32xcpZaA9
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.775Please respect copyright.PENANADBkadc4DWV
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAjvPnqxCHJR
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.775Please respect copyright.PENANAYGgPcVszRs
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"775Please respect copyright.PENANA7aUYnHReKG
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."775Please respect copyright.PENANAPbJsCZ9fI9
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAgzd9hJ5vp7
I didn't say anything as775Please respect copyright.PENANAzQU1LZspQg
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAdJJB2pHq4s
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 775Please respect copyright.PENANAVaQa6yJlxR
Hyun-suk's voice.775Please respect copyright.PENANAHaHfPlM2HZ
Gosh, I muttered in my head. If I hadn't thought of hiding when I saw the elevator monitor, we would have been in so much trouble.775Please respect copyright.PENANAEjQmsXR1F5
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.775Please respect copyright.PENANAGG4RuEWYAb
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.775Please respect copyright.PENANANElaKDn9jM
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.775Please respect copyright.PENANAyp6ZCqFG3S
I checked around with my775Please respect copyright.PENANALr5pOBW1Aa
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 775Please respect copyright.PENANAIjA0DxO624
the light went on in the tiny room.775Please respect copyright.PENANA7nI1xa91iX
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dk40tkyQV
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.775Please respect copyright.PENANAWRkFrPOk67
I shook my head. "They are still there."775Please respect copyright.PENANAAfHRNe3epT
Mino and Zoey both 775Please respect copyright.PENANAJYmUvBPlvC
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 775Please respect copyright.PENANA7GfXn4EANG
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 775Please respect copyright.PENANApaGs8CAUY0
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 775Please respect copyright.PENANAkwro3PlcaZ
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 775Please respect copyright.PENANA1dqJEd7iNw
behind me.775Please respect copyright.PENANA0YXTCrm7w0
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.775Please respect copyright.PENANAsSinxCN7jN
"I think they are gone," I whispered.775Please respect copyright.PENANAm2zJNLyzO9
"Try and check," Mino whispered.775Please respect copyright.PENANArPzGSVr7m9
I took hold of the door 775Please respect copyright.PENANA02hoKmk9Of
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 775Please respect copyright.PENANASeoy38Cy5Z
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of775Please respect copyright.PENANAbSFGJmozY6
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.775Please respect copyright.PENANAYNcbHFbtNX
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.775Please respect copyright.PENANARmztTkzj8p
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.775Please respect copyright.PENANAYSPyWiY9Py
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.775Please respect copyright.PENANAbGp056pnUg
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.775Please respect copyright.PENANAuu0Ljcz14E
The three of us were 775Please respect copyright.PENANAUSGpN8ZoPm
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 775Please respect copyright.PENANA3vC3CdxjNT
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was775Please respect copyright.PENANAXAldTjPxxh
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 775Please respect copyright.PENANAwf4zthiL0m
heard the phone ring.775Please respect copyright.PENANADawxAuHxKu
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.775Please respect copyright.PENANApyBcPNb9cI
I quickly took the bag 775Please respect copyright.PENANAeS3X5Dc8yX
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 775Please respect copyright.PENANAP47qZIgC6k
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 775Please respect copyright.PENANApwNKSQueOK
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 775Please respect copyright.PENANA2LiRfX9FcX
anything strange."775Please respect copyright.PENANAlCKxCsHAwU
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAE4XENOIOCd
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."775Please respect copyright.PENANAHfpGg8Vn90
Mino and Zoey quickly 775Please respect copyright.PENANAieFyHGBW3o
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 775Please respect copyright.PENANAx03xWcaLQg
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 775Please respect copyright.PENANACRijnamsvi
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 775Please respect copyright.PENANAhR9FghJNy8
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 775Please respect copyright.PENANAr4ct0DOKJE
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.775Please respect copyright.PENANA602gHFiQbY
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."775Please respect copyright.PENANAPJmy0HsVR3
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.775Please respect copyright.PENANA4KOOf2RJl8
A woman who was with them said, "I see you've grown into the Korean culture pretty quickly. I've to say I'm really impressed."775Please respect copyright.PENANABlqqZldOWf
I gave them a little 775Please respect copyright.PENANAwvAYLZrTow
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 775Please respect copyright.PENANAD837yhYR30
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 775Please respect copyright.PENANAbLQCskDLhm
the place.775Please respect copyright.PENANAyf8b3zJeps
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAjCbFCOH19L
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.775Please respect copyright.PENANAd8TWsqoh3z
"I must say, I watched 775Please respect copyright.PENANAEuxzCVL3er
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 775Please respect copyright.PENANAqEHjsP82Zb
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 775Please respect copyright.PENANAeNHU8QsKXI
black suit.775Please respect copyright.PENANA4NLNt1cutO
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.775Please respect copyright.PENANAEgkvIBLvNp
"You really do have good manners," said other man.775Please respect copyright.PENANAN3JKrYKqBR
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.775Please respect copyright.PENANAByjR20vf5Z
"I always do my best," I said politely.775Please respect copyright.PENANAEZNrOcMrIW
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.775Please respect copyright.PENANA7YyOEl8B5E
I felt my eyes were 775Please respect copyright.PENANARjq1bN23On
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 775Please respect copyright.PENANAtzarLJC5mG
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 775Please respect copyright.PENANAv7smUgHd1n
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 775Please respect copyright.PENANAA7xTzZD3ny
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.775Please respect copyright.PENANAI3atKLphmX
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"775Please respect copyright.PENANAiBqJkSmCUp
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me775Please respect copyright.PENANA7AhRG3PKL3
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 775Please respect copyright.PENANAAUtF3fbPSV
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAz8v3lKw1jF
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.775Please respect copyright.PENANASbrEy3h5I2
"Since you haven't done so in a while, I bet you're really tired or you would have practised even longer. Maybe next time."775Please respect copyright.PENANAvArRs5QNOB
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.775Please respect copyright.PENANAjmPAxgxryR
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.775Please respect copyright.PENANANuRKIRXjVi
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."775Please respect copyright.PENANAkLxb4zdzVt
I smiled as I bowed my 775Please respect copyright.PENANApRcFuA2rrA
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 775Please respect copyright.PENANAzCTEpF2gyN
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 775Please respect copyright.PENANAO6OylECwwN
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I775Please respect copyright.PENANAcIvE35ixBR
was until now.775Please respect copyright.PENANAwJsxvYLhLM
I quickly ran to the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAgSmtxEsadZ
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 775Please respect copyright.PENANACrIDO3gyji
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 775Please respect copyright.PENANAKwsaMAqezh
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 775Please respect copyright.PENANAVOI0J0Jseo
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 775Please respect copyright.PENANAeWYefHwzWw
see.775Please respect copyright.PENANAJKvO62Ik0B
"Sam! You're okay," said Seunghoon as he was the first one to quickly rush down and reach me. He pulled me into a hug.775Please respect copyright.PENANAEyugr3Bj8T
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."775Please respect copyright.PENANAwYebHF4JMj
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.775Please respect copyright.PENANAM1JXzLncMx
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.775Please respect copyright.PENANA0JFl0D2qJo
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.775Please respect copyright.PENANAmxRifKHXfm
"Because I missed you."775Please respect copyright.PENANA7150xyvgNs
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.775Please respect copyright.PENANAzFtrswg6tk
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.775Please respect copyright.PENANAqGRt1e7dFd
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.775Please respect copyright.PENANAPhk45wfiDK
When we reached the 775Please respect copyright.PENANABuJmflIsCi
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 775Please respect copyright.PENANAKkmBy1XTRd
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 775Please respect copyright.PENANA0lpFqa9E6v
lobby.775Please respect copyright.PENANACSKK1BY48X
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.775Please respect copyright.PENANAYsMGdRgJJn
"I think I've an idea," I775Please respect copyright.PENANAck9rfvnINp
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going775Please respect copyright.PENANA8l26gA2nyh
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 775Please respect copyright.PENANADnFnXFQo9H
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."775Please respect copyright.PENANA6uIvpAfz0a
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.775Please respect copyright.PENANABnVfUx4nRs
I rolled my eyes. I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAxriMcuBpAi
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself775Please respect copyright.PENANAv3TrSFz4dx
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAYJKFaxR8FW
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.775Please respect copyright.PENANAXcV7nJxZYT
"Because I'm smart 775Please respect copyright.PENANA3iZa3wktO8
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such775Please respect copyright.PENANA0DwOTW3W6T
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"775Please respect copyright.PENANAKMRiflqyWz
Mino and TOP smiled at 775Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZqdO7TKmE
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 775Please respect copyright.PENANAT8YxHgmh8f
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 775Please respect copyright.PENANAsUZSb1lakC
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.775Please respect copyright.PENANAtnCaVlNshj
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."775Please respect copyright.PENANAZecU6F4iKB
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAxHEIiDEUJW
"If we don't take the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAEeaV6PcP5Q
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 775Please respect copyright.PENANADPvfThKEAB
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."775Please respect copyright.PENANAkKCPJ5UGXV
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.775Please respect copyright.PENANAC53NlMm9nh
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.775Please respect copyright.PENANAMKSBmEKMKO
"You guys go right now 775Please respect copyright.PENANA6pzEAyW8tp
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAGPrUqNYrqp
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."775Please respect copyright.PENANAWiycvJqiA1
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.775Please respect copyright.PENANAXkhB88Y3m2
"Because I need you around."775Please respect copyright.PENANAnyj4EUzWTC
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.775Please respect copyright.PENANAmkz9kvMb85
Seungyoon and his group 775Please respect copyright.PENANAwVDTdUsBuL
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 775Please respect copyright.PENANAHR84KcuXDx
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 775Please respect copyright.PENANATXv48p5Dai
for ten minutes.775Please respect copyright.PENANAYioExAUSSt
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANABIA08eq4De
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.775Please respect copyright.PENANAOpEwLghGqY
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.775Please respect copyright.PENANAh6kxY8VGh2
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.775Please respect copyright.PENANAG0Iikn8C7R
"So if you guys are 775Please respect copyright.PENANAGVv2sdMCrg
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 775Please respect copyright.PENANA1oA7s9KacB
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAAAp2oNtVig
"Why do you ask?" I asked.775Please respect copyright.PENANAFV8g12ZHuu
"You guys can't just 775Please respect copyright.PENANA3H3NKTs3p4
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 775Please respect copyright.PENANAiDmMk7jUkZ
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 775Please respect copyright.PENANApDzT03253o
managers will find out what's going on."775Please respect copyright.PENANAY7soT3KCEP
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.775Please respect copyright.PENANAUtUs6SDc6A
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.775Please respect copyright.PENANAsAQiRHn0p4
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.775Please respect copyright.PENANAHvNNozz4qs
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."775Please respect copyright.PENANAERqO0JDWYn
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."775Please respect copyright.PENANAlwuZeMsE65
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.775Please respect copyright.PENANAd3exP7yjVL
The others quickly 775Please respect copyright.PENANArqi9Wgrapt
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 775Please respect copyright.PENANAekGceHImTJ
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 775Please respect copyright.PENANAKF5vfHjw5Q
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 775Please respect copyright.PENANApPTV4cDra3
worried that they might have hit their heads.775Please respect copyright.PENANAdfv9SWcwsL
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.775Please respect copyright.PENANAs3JCKEOtRX
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."775Please respect copyright.PENANAVgA2AdIkMM
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.775Please respect copyright.PENANAUdg7uOy5j0
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.775Please respect copyright.PENANAa88caorg5C
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.775Please respect copyright.PENANATliT8c4bEU
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"775Please respect copyright.PENANABQHtsZcG5C
As soon as I turned 775Please respect copyright.PENANAxv6tgEjW5g
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the775Please respect copyright.PENANAW5GJdy0n55
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 775Please respect copyright.PENANANTrU4q857H
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 775Please respect copyright.PENANA4bX35fmaR2
behind me paused ready for the worst.775Please respect copyright.PENANAwYBo6iLILi
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.775Please respect copyright.PENANAQ68wi3AQi8
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."775Please respect copyright.PENANAZDrgc93pMO
"Well, this day just got775Please respect copyright.PENANAcNCq5EGNiG
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about775Please respect copyright.PENANAeQRBp3ON90
it. I couldn't blame him for that.775Please respect copyright.PENANAsiIlX5RkB1
Coming out of the 775Please respect copyright.PENANAmJCFQLwAuo
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 775Please respect copyright.PENANAtMEXYhez8w
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 775Please respect copyright.PENANAasdxgtipPe
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.775Please respect copyright.PENANApqA9icO6Er
I felt like I had stood 775Please respect copyright.PENANAgux6hE6ZKx
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged775Please respect copyright.PENANAucPAqcqhMB
me on the shoulder to get my attention.775Please respect copyright.PENANAtYV1xMqpXH
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.775Please respect copyright.PENANAk5L69IqYSF
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.775Please respect copyright.PENANATm8o0r3KZy
