“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.”187Please respect copyright.PENANA8iDuw5XrDd

“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.”187Please respect copyright.PENANAxPnYAtah6w
187Please respect copyright.PENANAmYIiHtN0EV
187Please respect copyright.PENANAh8RP0QN9Lf

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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAlB0Gvm0sVC
187Please respect copyright.PENANAj3gDY6PHzl
187Please respect copyright.PENANAU1WdyHjYRH
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.

“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?”187Please respect copyright.PENANAcCIUYDimBf
187Please respect copyright.PENANAf8eXQstJIB
187Please respect copyright.PENANA0EeLv3U06R
“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.187Please respect copyright.PENANA10UsLvncxu

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.187Please respect copyright.PENANACs7JXdf0I2

“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.187Please respect copyright.PENANA0PQrtG9rqB
187Please respect copyright.PENANAjXDjUwbGNX

187Please respect copyright.PENANA14Ibv9tIVF
187Please respect copyright.PENANAkIorV0qMTs

187Please respect copyright.PENANASQx3DRZt3R
187Please respect copyright.PENANAU7ocaNiLVo

187Please respect copyright.PENANAwPUQARuw6H
“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?”187Please respect copyright.PENANAm02gDmAd46
187Please respect copyright.PENANADNN6f0FGxm
187Please respect copyright.PENANAO75acz0IC5
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.187Please respect copyright.PENANARcpO8dfOc6

187Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2yVHH7BIR

187Please respect copyright.PENANAcxcrfC4xka
187Please respect copyright.PENANAheAtl8LLl8

187Please respect copyright.PENANAAECOp7WkYk

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

187Please respect copyright.PENANABxk5RsgHKd
187Please respect copyright.PENANAfUwkWsmSP4

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:187Please respect copyright.PENANA7el1LzQ8wP
187Please respect copyright.PENANAWm42vaHZ92
187Please respect copyright.PENANAjmkyQFODUN
"Wow, that's so typical of him. He even went to have fun with Johnny after the stunt he pulled?!"187Please respect copyright.PENANAjw4SLvSNUL
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5mLhI4jNmf
187Please respect copyright.PENANAWEYJlESi4P

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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAwb2pOFh2Br
187Please respect copyright.PENANAt6u2rsAU2V
187Please respect copyright.PENANAPVzbQgTE0k
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.187Please respect copyright.PENANAV1JfkqulJp
187Please respect copyright.PENANAolVMoLSTHk
187Please respect copyright.PENANAZBet7dzba3
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.187Please respect copyright.PENANApL3BrbCbbB
187Please respect copyright.PENANAdFhLQKZmqs
187Please respect copyright.PENANAo2RdNmphjU
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.187Please respect copyright.PENANA118PUgmy8c
187Please respect copyright.PENANAHuq7NAt0vF
187Please respect copyright.PENANAQKEedu7c9H
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."187Please respect copyright.PENANAbMUP351Bxq
187Please respect copyright.PENANA1Mwi6mEVmH
187Please respect copyright.PENANAA2jPqxwOSX
"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."187Please respect copyright.PENANAMKPerIR1Wv
187Please respect copyright.PENANAWBDkAFxITR
187Please respect copyright.PENANAbvFOm3tGCV
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.187Please respect copyright.PENANApAVT3kgeAd
187Please respect copyright.PENANAsjbjw2CwSu
187Please respect copyright.PENANAscJxoDbBvv
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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAXvQYNGBj3Y
187Please respect copyright.PENANAlzINFcW1wb
187Please respect copyright.PENANAkWDMWkxwQh
"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?187Please respect copyright.PENANAhgZA8zmVtn
187Please respect copyright.PENANATuS3tfraZS
187Please respect copyright.PENANAcsLnVtEO5s
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.187Please respect copyright.PENANAODMbpmJV6N
187Please respect copyright.PENANAFM1WYjnUGQ
187Please respect copyright.PENANAejZq106mkk
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.187Please respect copyright.PENANASazWEbWB3S
187Please respect copyright.PENANArKX28hFnXf
187Please respect copyright.PENANATJE6Mp2dWL

187Please respect copyright.PENANATnvvpYekve
"I just want to ask how you were able to come up with your amazing songs," said Mino.187Please respect copyright.PENANAEuRf2SWcB6
187Please respect copyright.PENANAfOgBeRFoxx
187Please respect copyright.PENANAzMp1oRgQen
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.187Please respect copyright.PENANAPJt110TQ0V
187Please respect copyright.PENANAdnZfQLh38D
187Please respect copyright.PENANArD1fVqSJVn
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.187Please respect copyright.PENANAfGjlPF0ofj
187Please respect copyright.PENANAlN3IE7KB3U
187Please respect copyright.PENANAasu8f4Uv8q
"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."187Please respect copyright.PENANAtKiMxw4y6U
187Please respect copyright.PENANArq8dDLFRnm
187Please respect copyright.PENANANkpOABtd0t
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.187Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ3HujB6IU
187Please respect copyright.PENANA1edLTEscjc
187Please respect copyright.PENANAP1fgztfPTT
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."187Please respect copyright.PENANAGE9LiK2SXW
187Please respect copyright.PENANABlypWDSVUR
187Please respect copyright.PENANAWcjXlc2Pnd
"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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAlHOOfvBJZX
187Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4pDi2XWqh
187Please respect copyright.PENANADTNwFjvEGR
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.187Please respect copyright.PENANAFcygIXNTyw
187Please respect copyright.PENANARVZPbelazK
187Please respect copyright.PENANAmISPC3jJeB
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."187Please respect copyright.PENANAbLvNQsmuhJ
187Please respect copyright.PENANAOS4IEkZUaD
187Please respect copyright.PENANAFEgKqPYG3n
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.187Please respect copyright.PENANABoURL2QCeD
187Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZuzrdCmlJ
187Please respect copyright.PENANAp5ZD8lxNfp
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.187Please respect copyright.PENANA0g2Kysr6jH
187Please respect copyright.PENANAV88PFEJfbW
187Please respect copyright.PENANAvEXXgD0grr
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.187Please respect copyright.PENANAWBZd9hCAKD
187Please respect copyright.PENANAA9xrIPW5aA
187Please respect copyright.PENANALA5pLpEhEu
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."187Please respect copyright.PENANA9U15VZq5ej
187Please respect copyright.PENANAAUHcgXa3nN
187Please respect copyright.PENANAauK6ojfwfN
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."187Please respect copyright.PENANAJX36WdH9XB
187Please respect copyright.PENANAUrjsRv6zmH
187Please respect copyright.PENANA7bGiYRloyK
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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAjanr9XhXGu
187Please respect copyright.PENANABuaicYOjcx
187Please respect copyright.PENANAq1p19XSo4U
"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."187Please respect copyright.PENANAUD9a8E6Je0
187Please respect copyright.PENANAn39T7uJW1Y
187Please respect copyright.PENANAbKDDodO6nO
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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAQTfijdAeO5
187Please respect copyright.PENANAiFxWmcuB6M
187Please respect copyright.PENANA0xFStthGqw
"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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAPwkbW0IEde
187Please respect copyright.PENANAVii1vnBSqK
187Please respect copyright.PENANAmqmMMswbCy
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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAelBd3ARkb3
187Please respect copyright.PENANA6h6J7SdtZf
187Please respect copyright.PENANAKUd8OBelfP
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.187Please respect copyright.PENANAIOROVMr3xc
187Please respect copyright.PENANAm4g5aR2ul0
187Please respect copyright.PENANAoGdioQYitS
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"187Please respect copyright.PENANAcRsnAba3s7
187Please respect copyright.PENANA424BFhkXxH
187Please respect copyright.PENANAfrTvrUaTUa
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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAKOg6debEJX
187Please respect copyright.PENANA9gJ4YtaJyY
187Please respect copyright.PENANADiWMir6zGk
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.187Please respect copyright.PENANAMy4KHLTUW3
187Please respect copyright.PENANAcUAchZ9vYY
187Please respect copyright.PENANAjzpbRFbXOx
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:187Please respect copyright.PENANAZbYaeZFFX4
187Please respect copyright.PENANAPNWUcm8o8Z
187Please respect copyright.PENANASUTo3SJI3T
"Yes, I do."187Please respect copyright.PENANAiLI80DaGPO
187Please respect copyright.PENANAx8NUBEwf8a
187Please respect copyright.PENANAljSVImDfmt
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.187Please respect copyright.PENANAaS3eYC3bMc
187Please respect copyright.PENANAYY7MKQQ87a
187Please respect copyright.PENANAu4hKwkFKQe
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.187Please respect copyright.PENANACza3n79dft
187Please respect copyright.PENANAteheKcmVgS
187Please respect copyright.PENANAiy7O8AmfNl
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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAswLBxef60u
187Please respect copyright.PENANAjBue4IzEpO
187Please respect copyright.PENANAPxaoXIyt40
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
