Meeting WINNER the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAUbC4T8Wdnw
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 783Please respect copyright.PENANAPRNpzUev2N
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 783Please respect copyright.PENANAZbIogVqgRr
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 783Please respect copyright.PENANAHbbB12UZjF
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 783Please respect copyright.PENANAcyZsjryVTp
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.783Please respect copyright.PENANARtPYIaR7JM
With the little time we 783Please respect copyright.PENANAqm0TVmPHIi
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again783Please respect copyright.PENANAoDXG21tgrd
as we all got to know each other.783Please respect copyright.PENANAPkreg5phFm
Seungyoon, the leader 783Please respect copyright.PENANAmtiO5GN4Y7
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 783Please respect copyright.PENANAtmrJw4aWIG
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a783Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ90Z61TTP
fun and nice person to be around with.783Please respect copyright.PENANAasMnY0oxhq
Then there is Mino, who 783Please respect copyright.PENANARbalVWS9ya
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for783Please respect copyright.PENANA0p7gKkaiJW
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 783Please respect copyright.PENANAwyvriUXRNu
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.783Please respect copyright.PENANAWbWuBb6Oyk
As for Jinwoo and 783Please respect copyright.PENANADtFVM5rhks
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.783Please respect copyright.PENANAj7B4EADcEC
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 783Please respect copyright.PENANATdQGUk1aKO
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 783Please respect copyright.PENANAAnf1zRuTA8
in Korea.783Please respect copyright.PENANAHJwJNHhhzB
As for Seunghoon, I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAeAONwM5IwT
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking783Please respect copyright.PENANAxBO9FvcU20
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 783Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6ObyALIFd
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.783Please respect copyright.PENANAuvKJQIEQk7
Before they left, we 783Please respect copyright.PENANAqMrEOXYafQ
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 783Please respect copyright.PENANAx2AwYgt8UV
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 783Please respect copyright.PENANA11u1mN5N6T
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 783Please respect copyright.PENANA1wCyHZwN9k
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done783Please respect copyright.PENANAQLg3UZJcUK
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 783Please respect copyright.PENANA2UbzmhOtLa
place?783Please respect copyright.PENANAJyj1eSE3PQ
I already had that part 783Please respect copyright.PENANAizhPEdUiMw
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 783Please respect copyright.PENANA5CvJgPmb7o
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 783Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hiy8jpkUD
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 783Please respect copyright.PENANASUe5LyWJfY
wouldn't have to break a sweat.783Please respect copyright.PENANAR4mYllrH2T
Right now, this very 783Please respect copyright.PENANAJrVfKP4Dpf
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 783Please respect copyright.PENANAhH91Nd3LH2
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 783Please respect copyright.PENANA4ysjYunJdk
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee783Please respect copyright.PENANATlCZnggI2k
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 783Please respect copyright.PENANAf0l2VP2eEb
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 783Please respect copyright.PENANAG4hmVpSrHt
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.783Please respect copyright.PENANAke1drNzkIS
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.783Please respect copyright.PENANAhjfjCppFVu
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAqQxqnxcN9A
"I'm tired of sleeping,"783Please respect copyright.PENANARVaBEy7aRC
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 783Please respect copyright.PENANA7CLYQyBFuj
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 783Please respect copyright.PENANANzSsmrLjBF
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.783Please respect copyright.PENANAbZTK5kWgmH
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.783Please respect copyright.PENANABaAtC9ycDZ
"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."783Please respect copyright.PENANAq16kiF9MR9
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.783Please respect copyright.PENANAaKCljD81Al
"You know, going for 783Please respect copyright.PENANAXvuk6rPmFy
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAtKhnMsRrR6
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 783Please respect copyright.PENANAYbkljAsoXF
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 783Please respect copyright.PENANAhDv3luUGVk
we try to do what we're familiar with."783Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5Eqe2FI35
"Mmmm, I guess you're 783Please respect copyright.PENANAz9PIY8wyL4
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 783Please respect copyright.PENANAUIULxb3M0T
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 783Please respect copyright.PENANADrjpmhzCBf
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."783Please respect copyright.PENANA9nVwsKJSsD
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.783Please respect copyright.PENANASaTYWjpJNx
"Yep," Collins nodded 783Please respect copyright.PENANANnVybL6gHM
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 783Please respect copyright.PENANAsTS1rdhARd
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 783Please respect copyright.PENANAqOsmBwNZD3
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 783Please respect copyright.PENANA4jVTD1DuqG
good now, will it?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAIhk9EqnEUb
Wow. This was literally 783Please respect copyright.PENANABUuL7Rzz8v
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 783Please respect copyright.PENANAYD66nLHb5t
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.783Please respect copyright.PENANAKEowHNtHnY
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.783Please respect copyright.PENANAw0UakydN3q
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.783Please respect copyright.PENANAigOuj5d4Uo
I left the lounge at a 783Please respect copyright.PENANA9lRRA02Qn1
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 783Please respect copyright.PENANAaFpPPM4gC5
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door783Please respect copyright.PENANAnJlHPqfzqD
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.783Please respect copyright.PENANAFkWzfFiVPR
Zoey sat up with a start783Please respect copyright.PENANATMJYmXc343
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 783Please respect copyright.PENANApmZ0HKnv9d
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.783Please respect copyright.PENANAnBVXhRMZZs
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"783Please respect copyright.PENANA0Uqf1daHIm
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.783Please respect copyright.PENANAhvh5br7AFf
At first she didn't say a783Please respect copyright.PENANA2iRGje4ODB
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 783Please respect copyright.PENANAEXHbzSQaNz
looking at me with her eyes wide open.783Please respect copyright.PENANAOLa9QRAe4t
"What did you say?" she asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAHusJVsWOqv
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.783Please respect copyright.PENANAXoWjSc4gNg
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAh1MKgFmIRH
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."783Please respect copyright.PENANA7hP4vS8rkH
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAR26NPPiHWy
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."783Please respect copyright.PENANAWJXPGKKqZo
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."783Please respect copyright.PENANA4MJv9ngirm
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.783Please respect copyright.PENANAHLEnNEFeBX
I went to wake up 783Please respect copyright.PENANAsoZZQWan80
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I783Please respect copyright.PENANAGqCyYQU8xM
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.783Please respect copyright.PENANACvrVXLAExi
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAeOCIyHQp7C
"I gave a reasonable 783Please respect copyright.PENANAQfiVG8nV6j
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 783Please respect copyright.PENANAcQF9mlkV9R
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAlV9FsTGLEy
I noticed Christine 783Please respect copyright.PENANAVQngCeemXe
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly783Please respect copyright.PENANAcbFQQhu3mk
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 783Please respect copyright.PENANAm89TdYjy0r
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 783Please respect copyright.PENANAXsdpJ1QVkA
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.783Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ0mtpsAKx
When we all had our bags783Please respect copyright.PENANA3yOiwRbexX
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 783Please respect copyright.PENANAvVTplLdJ8A
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 783Please respect copyright.PENANAEwKIUdiz1y
looked at us.783Please respect copyright.PENANAQkD98Mq8go
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.783Please respect copyright.PENANAfb22Rk9HkM
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."783Please respect copyright.PENANAfu5gXQbZHs
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.783Please respect copyright.PENANA3IpY5u5Xt7
"I hate when you use my 783Please respect copyright.PENANAeq7FA7IOjx
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 783Please respect copyright.PENANAjRLbSMa5oU
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."783Please respect copyright.PENANA9uHvHI8jHZ
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."783Please respect copyright.PENANAKxBGVzu6g4
Collins rolled his eyes 783Please respect copyright.PENANAfMQdKITTey
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 783Please respect copyright.PENANAB1t9bWR3T4
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."783Please respect copyright.PENANAhkq4awsG9O
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANA0VlHbq2v4m
"I would really love to,783Please respect copyright.PENANAaCIsv1teKp
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass783Please respect copyright.PENANAyepovizLJb
by at lunchtime to check on you."783Please respect copyright.PENANAv9QLkK2Bej
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.783Please respect copyright.PENANAkz7PuFCH25
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.783Please respect copyright.PENANArrKQW9w9M6
"Nothing," said Christine.783Please respect copyright.PENANAaeGeX4vkJ4
I noticed Mike give 783Please respect copyright.PENANAsSmBffzwdM
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut783Please respect copyright.PENANAXUiNTboVGj
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 783Please respect copyright.PENANA7YusBhJ9d5
going on.783Please respect copyright.PENANAINGCt7aVNW
"It's just about the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAwnVtxkNQi8
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 783Please respect copyright.PENANAmOLAfCrj5H
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 783Please respect copyright.PENANAfHC7iCg4ZS
happened."783Please respect copyright.PENANA1sAJ6BNPuO
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."783Please respect copyright.PENANAgTU5efoPTR
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."783Please respect copyright.PENANA1hJljLp3Qj
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.783Please respect copyright.PENANArrjo5fwn7r
When we arrived at YG, 783Please respect copyright.PENANAEBwd1ERWZE
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 783Please respect copyright.PENANAUXgNPh1fnB
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.783Please respect copyright.PENANAKqq1cUxf3T
"I already informed the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAvukeTp72kH
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 783Please respect copyright.PENANAZG1ZgkKPNa
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"783Please respect copyright.PENANATvk48Dkf7A
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."783Please respect copyright.PENANAkueHfzBiBT
"I know you will. See you later."783Please respect copyright.PENANA6ImiOSnze2
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.783Please respect copyright.PENANA7nFKKsJTEH
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.783Please respect copyright.PENANANelffQXc2h
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.783Please respect copyright.PENANAvQiNNM2nsa
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.783Please respect copyright.PENANAyUQcwk4zAO
"Careful, Zoey," I said 783Please respect copyright.PENANAr57jTQ81dk
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 783Please respect copyright.PENANA58oOrAeiey
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."783Please respect copyright.PENANAEfpiKhrNIj
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.783Please respect copyright.PENANAIi4QKd3z7R
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAN9QeHAx2PR
"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.783Please respect copyright.PENANAjtbPMdfPhl
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.783Please respect copyright.PENANAY1kmwd5PPB
"No," I said as the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAkaS0AxsEbt
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 783Please respect copyright.PENANA0IjoT7JC2M
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 783Please respect copyright.PENANAVcKCgMuXiZ
studios.783Please respect copyright.PENANAgOW8uT2Php
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.783Please respect copyright.PENANA7lW5eC8oMI
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."783Please respect copyright.PENANAjf2Eoczpnd
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."783Please respect copyright.PENANAbBT3wTGK9c
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.783Please respect copyright.PENANABdCwM00UEw
"That's different."783Please respect copyright.PENANAmlCMbHflem
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."783Please respect copyright.PENANAwWv2nuOciZ
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAMhODXdacBt
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."783Please respect copyright.PENANAp52Td5jayt
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.783Please respect copyright.PENANAuf6dOOCz7t
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.783Please respect copyright.PENANAwWElKKlSJv
It was so much fun 783Please respect copyright.PENANApSAoCTDwyR
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 783Please respect copyright.PENANAETjb7krH7Y
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 783Please respect copyright.PENANAUFhQbPDann
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.783Please respect copyright.PENANA4dUO5TUskr
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.783Please respect copyright.PENANAib74e3vECv
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.783Please respect copyright.PENANAEkY0JAN9qK
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."783Please respect copyright.PENANAuuQcthpv4m
"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."783Please respect copyright.PENANAnndjlZCvBq
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAhAq2cHTrn2
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.783Please respect copyright.PENANACn9J8fC3cE
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.783Please respect copyright.PENANABqB0KVSfBa
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."783Please respect copyright.PENANAZyJ7QHohfD
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."783Please respect copyright.PENANAh3AEfb89Zn
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."783Please respect copyright.PENANAxPkCpmQuNp
"Come on, Zoey," I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAjjWSrp2GaI
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 783Please respect copyright.PENANAuOwdRWrlRe
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."783Please respect copyright.PENANAhVGRLp3Jj7
"What song?"783Please respect copyright.PENANA7XXd6zYZcl
I didn't answer when I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAbxgg70Hnbx
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 783Please respect copyright.PENANAhsIStZwLCb
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAqxkQAJiJHR
pill soon started to play.783Please respect copyright.PENANA0JosweprB1
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.783Please respect copyright.PENANAMYmnoK5Bt0
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.783Please respect copyright.PENANAfvCiiX8sOU
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.783Please respect copyright.PENANAEnjsSRapbf
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.783Please respect copyright.PENANAn91TgLHJC6
It's been a while since I783Please respect copyright.PENANAYMsJ2ez8SM
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 783Please respect copyright.PENANANKtXcYkOqp
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 783Please respect copyright.PENANAECHdj38Kru
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.783Please respect copyright.PENANAxFfjFbGXxk
At the end of it, the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAhKX2osnzOQ
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 783Please respect copyright.PENANAB4SD9Kuthp
our moves synchronising with one another.783Please respect copyright.PENANA7XL8bDEMuu
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.783Please respect copyright.PENANAzt75vhCaCP
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."783Please respect copyright.PENANAUfz5VyZbC7
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.783Please respect copyright.PENANAnUZK13rT6S
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.783Please respect copyright.PENANA8Dqk4sseGm
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAK8KHo99wJ5
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."783Please respect copyright.PENANAqfRb4ZDoi9
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."783Please respect copyright.PENANAVBFWisNvkc
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.783Please respect copyright.PENANAD7eZMBIzcd
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.783Please respect copyright.PENANANQxjS6ka5X
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAhGBA5mVtPE
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.783Please respect copyright.PENANAstEXj3YvdZ
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"783Please respect copyright.PENANA4r86SZIT6k
Mino and Seunghoon both 783Please respect copyright.PENANAyLYyex96Md
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 783Please respect copyright.PENANANYnztC9Ntx
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.783Please respect copyright.PENANAFOHJAtij9m
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.783Please respect copyright.PENANATzMHEEXIDs
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.783Please respect copyright.PENANATk1yOrdGfI
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."783Please respect copyright.PENANA3JRahypLFJ
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.783Please respect copyright.PENANAGirdAHyf1x
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAk2lMHW7HJa
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 783Please respect copyright.PENANA4C0iKwkDcE
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."783Please respect copyright.PENANASgZzeisjkX
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.783Please respect copyright.PENANA39wnFH8AkZ
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.783Please respect copyright.PENANALMZJsSJR8k
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAiG5OpFIYXZ
I nudged my head to the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAqabN2OB9eM
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 783Please respect copyright.PENANAo9tf79qhPP
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the783Please respect copyright.PENANAQj9aHJpn5j
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.783Please respect copyright.PENANAQIv4gvG6gX
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.783Please respect copyright.PENANAxjRNCdiWcJ
Seunghoon lips were 783Please respect copyright.PENANAL1Q1z5YyrV
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was783Please respect copyright.PENANAvl5z5rVxCQ
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose783Please respect copyright.PENANAum5RxYNQvz
focus.783Please respect copyright.PENANAoM5gkWrUDE
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.783Please respect copyright.PENANAv867kGstri
"The others might, but I783Please respect copyright.PENANAX5i6vV7Raq
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going783Please respect copyright.PENANAeaHEgZCUYB
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 783Please respect copyright.PENANAMddYXdYSoX
when TOP came to pick me up?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAZIbxDx0ZBp
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."783Please respect copyright.PENANAk9VbUZ5dgC
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAOsWxqenRwh
He again took a step closer. "Yes."783Please respect copyright.PENANARClGx0oC23
Well, that made sense 783Please respect copyright.PENANAW5bDtG9Egb
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 783Please respect copyright.PENANASOrOasLSGU
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 783Please respect copyright.PENANA46sHG76Lwh
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 783Please respect copyright.PENANA29kxNng45i
seen.783Please respect copyright.PENANAxfsDQZ2hfs
I hadn't realised it 783Please respect copyright.PENANALOOXG1Wr79
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking783Please respect copyright.PENANACEQ4pYCNzn
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 783Please respect copyright.PENANAWKetw2txFr
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 783Please respect copyright.PENANAVmQQs5tUec
uncomfortable.783Please respect copyright.PENANAPiGhkmgUBm
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.783Please respect copyright.PENANA3B8AkUuNWp
"Well, yes," he 783Please respect copyright.PENANAxkwQB3WqnJ
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 783Please respect copyright.PENANAKdk0TpTS0D
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."783Please respect copyright.PENANA2cO3MmmKva
"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."783Please respect copyright.PENANAx2pHsze54W
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.783Please respect copyright.PENANA19zz7FIbwf
I blushed and I was a 783Please respect copyright.PENANAtIQEsNSOr1
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 783Please respect copyright.PENANAoLmNY1khx0
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 783Please respect copyright.PENANAisN7YNq5RL
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 783Please respect copyright.PENANAmMxo5zYhRd
celebrities.783Please respect copyright.PENANAEhNbHr7ETK
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAbL91DGyP0k
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.783Please respect copyright.PENANAfcL6KSGqRn
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."783Please respect copyright.PENANADDgOp1GnIq
"No, they don't," I lied783Please respect copyright.PENANAhBV8TrUyn4
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 783Please respect copyright.PENANA7CyYlMJQul
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 783Please respect copyright.PENANA50ZllJOpYI
others had arrived.783Please respect copyright.PENANARsKOpdqNJA
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.783Please respect copyright.PENANAfVJGhGDAap
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.783Please respect copyright.PENANAqUL6pVDJMe
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.783Please respect copyright.PENANAuhFf7iCaCC
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"783Please respect copyright.PENANARRPuyY2FPn
"Awesome," I replied.783Please respect copyright.PENANAibUzHnnJfK
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.783Please respect copyright.PENANAUgn3pYK47s
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.783Please respect copyright.PENANAMDlltMlAFd
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.783Please respect copyright.PENANAFJVxORSk8C
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.783Please respect copyright.PENANANJ7OZOMbFD
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.783Please respect copyright.PENANASotFFMxXSj
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.783Please respect copyright.PENANAMRC6s67yQ0
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."783Please respect copyright.PENANAcOgCTS51CJ
"And besides, you and I 783Please respect copyright.PENANA4AEzEuIsJg
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 783Please respect copyright.PENANATfulXaOWf7
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 783Please respect copyright.PENANAmp9guWU7Dw
and Seunghoon showed up."783Please respect copyright.PENANATmcwDSgGat
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.783Please respect copyright.PENANASBZbDbJq6k
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.783Please respect copyright.PENANAJlv4LnTB6W
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."783Please respect copyright.PENANAVSWS4Va0kp
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.783Please respect copyright.PENANAQHuuzhjc7Z
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.783Please respect copyright.PENANAAECKpsD6RQ
Apparently, he wasn't 783Please respect copyright.PENANAY1sQaSLnmA
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all783Please respect copyright.PENANAmextmZCuzD
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that783Please respect copyright.PENANAAq49LM1f7O
just made him look even more adorable.783Please respect copyright.PENANAztd83X9nzA
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.783Please respect copyright.PENANAByrd9XC3xo
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."783Please respect copyright.PENANAgX6TNuLxLJ
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.783Please respect copyright.PENANA301L8Euzyv
"Yes!" I heard the four 783Please respect copyright.PENANACkCjCXlJ6h
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 783Please respect copyright.PENANA1xynVTSlKv
at the track list. Then, something came to me.783Please respect copyright.PENANAquVoLQAgDR
"Change of plans, Zoey,"783Please respect copyright.PENANAakgD6bf70Y
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want783Please respect copyright.PENANA5yyscJdW1F
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."783Please respect copyright.PENANAoBCGq6TrY3
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."783Please respect copyright.PENANA128OQXefV1
"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."783Please respect copyright.PENANAxjoe9s6odM
"This just got interesting," said Mino.783Please respect copyright.PENANAo7Uu0iAwAB
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAzdFkdI0hgx
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."783Please respect copyright.PENANAeHiU1KJnFC
"Taeyang is going to 783Please respect copyright.PENANA40W8FjQIjZ
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 783Please respect copyright.PENANAR7qqhtAGdh
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."783Please respect copyright.PENANADMyJrN05UR
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."783Please respect copyright.PENANAVvY9iO1vn0
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.783Please respect copyright.PENANAjtzQ1CzFOs
I tapped the track on my783Please respect copyright.PENANA0TjrvOmQIj
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 783Please respect copyright.PENANA5rpKWzf1Wk
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.783Please respect copyright.PENANA8jlW37o0oK
When the song started, I783Please respect copyright.PENANAxFgHmYRhnk
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 783Please respect copyright.PENANArYdkWlGoa9
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 783Please respect copyright.PENANAV601Pa53oo
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAcxKZToBQuN
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to783Please respect copyright.PENANABwZxQfKj10
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 783Please respect copyright.PENANA3fmcf31ILY
doing a pretty good with the moves too.783Please respect copyright.PENANAIee4lcneJ9
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.783Please respect copyright.PENANASlIuHCyxCH
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.783Please respect copyright.PENANAA7cOTbeas3
"Whenever it came to the783Please respect copyright.PENANAGzjCbCCdEB
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 783Please respect copyright.PENANAX4is0EHWbL
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."783Please respect copyright.PENANAflwAyxcW8t
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."783Please respect copyright.PENANABYr7IX9W2o
"Thanks, guys," I said.783Please respect copyright.PENANA2z5PAQovNZ
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.783Please respect copyright.PENANAlrjGGFI2Q1
"Now, coming to my 783Please respect copyright.PENANAfFRKLPg7pp
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 783Please respect copyright.PENANA9GwZ4Hlbed
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 783Please respect copyright.PENANAdUu8c7tV1j
think is a better dancer?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAXIeJefK8Cj
"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."783Please respect copyright.PENANA2NORsB8v7k
"Why?" Zoey asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANA4NTRoZ9pEs
"I think you and I both 783Please respect copyright.PENANARQTWEMHE9G
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 783Please respect copyright.PENANAMxZd6V356l
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 783Please respect copyright.PENANAmfZmp8a8HB
That counts for something, right?"783Please respect copyright.PENANALZ8YhwReOH
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."783Please respect copyright.PENANAfemrmYMkmd
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."783Please respect copyright.PENANAhCw6NOxTYt
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.783Please respect copyright.PENANADi8RWmg2O6
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAH5jNpMtzYD
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANANI44p6Oriw
"Well, ya." Mike 783Please respect copyright.PENANA6KNpgH3j6N
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 783Please respect copyright.PENANArqqvuvDR8y
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 783Please respect copyright.PENANAzGddpCcBCE
sentence as he looked at Zoey.783Please respect copyright.PENANA4MgA9v2v9X
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."783Please respect copyright.PENANAloWRMlpO38
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.783Please respect copyright.PENANAxN2KUxcazM
"I also think it will be783Please respect copyright.PENANA8oydfNMqPM
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 783Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ1oUwH7r8
obviously bring out a better opinion."783Please respect copyright.PENANAmIG2XPiAVm
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.783Please respect copyright.PENANAFkj2ulCDmD
"Count me out of it," I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAO2n56RiCH9
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAH0hYBEPehC
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."783Please respect copyright.PENANAPCOvyplBeY
"Fine, I'll create a 783Please respect copyright.PENANAPJMvqlNgZX
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how783Please respect copyright.PENANAcMDZl02Oj7
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though783Please respect copyright.PENANAZc1cEhOw0m
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."783Please respect copyright.PENANA8qIWoSDx6M
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."783Please respect copyright.PENANAbpeE86gHhM
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."783Please respect copyright.PENANAjNxPq1HLII
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.783Please respect copyright.PENANA0fJxoRSjBP
Zoey and Mike soon got 783Please respect copyright.PENANAhxz2fPAfIL
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 783Please respect copyright.PENANAkGYwIsCoLq
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 783Please respect copyright.PENANASv2OpNJ6Ef
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance783Please respect copyright.PENANA9SQmx1jfUD
battle.783Please respect copyright.PENANAqtYv7ZWNP2
I got my phone and the 783Please respect copyright.PENANASbenlJ6SDR
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAkXRNeI28EG
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.783Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ0jVzJ6p4
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.783Please respect copyright.PENANAivw2eXuJBS
I turned to look at him 783Please respect copyright.PENANAHQatahNOz1
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 783Please respect copyright.PENANAjt7D9uoUJV
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 783Please respect copyright.PENANAGNLfuKq0iO
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 783Please respect copyright.PENANAFwMCepEvBS
smile if they were to look at him.783Please respect copyright.PENANAp3Trui4bOD
"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."783Please respect copyright.PENANAYM4IMH3HVu
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.783Please respect copyright.PENANAX0wmrWwZjV
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."783Please respect copyright.PENANAOWSpsMDEDe
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."783Please respect copyright.PENANAW5HVddmLLZ
"You're right about that."783Please respect copyright.PENANALRSWfc3yd0
I looked behind me with a783Please respect copyright.PENANADIQWMV0JRm
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 783Please respect copyright.PENANA7bukuGG3oH
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 783Please respect copyright.PENANALrqdRFsGIm
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 783Please respect copyright.PENANAnWcjeDtrYz
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.783Please respect copyright.PENANAC5X97861GY
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 783Please respect copyright.PENANAfy0PvnoMCd
"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."783Please respect copyright.PENANAfxQafcSpAV
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"783Please respect copyright.PENANArCxrSIYySF
"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."783Please respect copyright.PENANADaqu2g9ePD
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."783Please respect copyright.PENANAuqbUG3f2ed
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."783Please respect copyright.PENANAKmIF9IYqIV
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.783Please respect copyright.PENANA94TqWH3bio
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.783Please respect copyright.PENANAGvrtZkfXEa
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAgSOYXrRdpH
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."783Please respect copyright.PENANAaRr7QGTkF9
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANA5HtnaWoyJ9
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."783Please respect copyright.PENANAk9TdHv00ov
"I sure hope so," I 783Please respect copyright.PENANA9WJxcN9Qxh
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAMAjYOxyxs5
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."783Please respect copyright.PENANAj4PrjXvL4B
"What about those two?" 783Please respect copyright.PENANAn3ZGX6YwG5
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 783Please respect copyright.PENANA7F5a20XDI0
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 783Please respect copyright.PENANA45rHWgF4cd
soon.783Please respect copyright.PENANAwrgqqCsynY
"They will notice when 783Please respect copyright.PENANAw8s4TTQQwP
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 783Please respect copyright.PENANA7GLORQF1m3
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"783Please respect copyright.PENANABdwKHBv8TS
"Sure," he said with a smile.783Please respect copyright.PENANAiHqOZAcEoq
Christine, Daniel and I 783Please respect copyright.PENANA8FcnpBaEhr
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 783Please respect copyright.PENANAP3udCQavIs
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.783Please respect copyright.PENANAuXgWtBbW6u
Twenty minutes later, I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAPa1GXa5h2O
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 783Please respect copyright.PENANAkvkZb5D8B3
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 783Please respect copyright.PENANAXugBG5rbO5
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 783Please respect copyright.PENANAaRtVizIKh6
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 783Please respect copyright.PENANARQxVQopu3t
in the shower room, still patching herself up.783Please respect copyright.PENANAzo2sXpF4Rn
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.783Please respect copyright.PENANApUxnK0Y4h0
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."783Please respect copyright.PENANAHx67N0SJvR
"Why? Anything special?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAo43MbUpOnu
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.783Please respect copyright.PENANA7LMqpbhJtj
"Oh, nothing," I stared 783Please respect copyright.PENANAFP6bAxKcNN
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAOKHtBMT3bg
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 783Please respect copyright.PENANAHtqi6WF1nZ
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."783Please respect copyright.PENANAGGChh0jX5L
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.783Please respect copyright.PENANAtQwHtoR3ZX
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.783Please respect copyright.PENANAU58MCAbXUn
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.783Please respect copyright.PENANAovNsY5NsHs
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.783Please respect copyright.PENANAiND1VGFbGa
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."783Please respect copyright.PENANA7g21x6cNO6
"What are you talking about?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAuECHrOKZ6A
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"783Please respect copyright.PENANApIEQbSxs6M
Christine's mouth fell 783Please respect copyright.PENANAESJ3SrfhV7
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 783Please respect copyright.PENANAhPNgMFNgZF
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.783Please respect copyright.PENANAsywJMR2OKD
"No, I don't," she said.783Please respect copyright.PENANAHA4mnF3UUs
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 783Please respect copyright.PENANA1GRc4opyZG
do like him but only as a fan girl."783Please respect copyright.PENANAcfdLoxgrfY
"Please, I saw the way 783Please respect copyright.PENANArNV81fMmuI
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that783Please respect copyright.PENANAhAfQf1px40
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."783Please respect copyright.PENANA8A1hsIpKmR
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 783Please respect copyright.PENANARIraotEH6o
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of783Please respect copyright.PENANARFFtaocKOo
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 783Please respect copyright.PENANAPVPoi23Imz
more."783Please respect copyright.PENANATuNwNwCFj8
"Ya, right," I said as I783Please respect copyright.PENANADa8Nam7NUW
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 783Please respect copyright.PENANAkEm9xjAtIc
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 783Please respect copyright.PENANA6FAnqO311R
weird look on your face."783Please respect copyright.PENANANnU8dxVi3H
"What weird look?"783Please respect copyright.PENANA2fDAMpJgqZ
"The jealous one."783Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5XZMNpVUx
"Spare me the drama, Sam."783Please respect copyright.PENANAtCgFORZTPE
"If Zoey was the one 783Please respect copyright.PENANAwuPyeennDL
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 783Please respect copyright.PENANA2OWbNKG5yR
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 783Please respect copyright.PENANAfYJxaYQBw5
Jinwoo."783Please respect copyright.PENANAg1zpXI4WLU
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.783Please respect copyright.PENANAOVsfHpar6c
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAqjteQBgKnK
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."783Please respect copyright.PENANAyD8ZsHELOp
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.783Please respect copyright.PENANAccuiSWrMTF
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.783Please respect copyright.PENANAUElI9IoBHX
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.783Please respect copyright.PENANALdX2FKRgON
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.783Please respect copyright.PENANAGQzI5yLT8S
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.783Please respect copyright.PENANARl76mNqot2
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAx4w5gST7jJ
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.783Please respect copyright.PENANAaDC69mbj5f
Mike gave Christine a 783Please respect copyright.PENANAjoGgkTzDar
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 783Please respect copyright.PENANApWdAFEoODS
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't783Please respect copyright.PENANAQAraUAWmL4
wrong about that.783Please respect copyright.PENANAHc5U3XZaS6
We decided to go back to783Please respect copyright.PENANAjJElqzPshl
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 783Please respect copyright.PENANAB6r6RXzWhZ
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,783Please respect copyright.PENANAFpyUPIN5x2
this happened:783Please respect copyright.PENANA0FzLqBGKJT
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.783Please respect copyright.PENANASFAa2KqXqk
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.783Please respect copyright.PENANANL06lX0MLt
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.783Please respect copyright.PENANATZl8bBp4tq
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."783Please respect copyright.PENANAcLyBn3R65v
I wanted to frown at him783Please respect copyright.PENANA6ncUvtgu70
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 783Please respect copyright.PENANAPQIf5UcXzp
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.783Please respect copyright.PENANApM9j4uFVQg
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.783Please respect copyright.PENANA0hKVGijfQJ
I looked at Jinwoo and I783Please respect copyright.PENANAmp2ZG5pMe7
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 783Please respect copyright.PENANAILurrwSJGQ
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 783Please respect copyright.PENANAbkyGj1TQce
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.783Please respect copyright.PENANA27D3LglgfV
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.783Please respect copyright.PENANAOp6dHylgrG
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAnOsbm01BBH
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.783Please respect copyright.PENANAlGvVvUgzuv
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."783Please respect copyright.PENANAtSTBSaisqe
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAhRAgiejFB9
"Good idea. Let's go."783Please respect copyright.PENANADRfcyzfyKV
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAzc9iuDYMJf
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.783Please respect copyright.PENANAQXNAd8GYN2
Before he could say 783Please respect copyright.PENANAgtSDesrc0a
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I783Please respect copyright.PENANAHkBUCSk3St
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped783Please respect copyright.PENANASp0lM0Ukbf
out of the room, he was snickering.783Please respect copyright.PENANA8PGS12iD7a
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.783Please respect copyright.PENANA0IS8kVyfsa
"Just because I'm his 783Please respect copyright.PENANAV6U0P6Osxc
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being783Please respect copyright.PENANAa3KTY61agF
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAH72JsPUW2N
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."783Please respect copyright.PENANAipZSzHl4fh
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAw7ja9YpcqP
"Actually, it was only 783Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ierj0izQA
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 783Please respect copyright.PENANAJep4ZMyoMy
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."783Please respect copyright.PENANA7DhAZsciJb
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.783Please respect copyright.PENANA95bJGEbJaN
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.783Please respect copyright.PENANApIgrtvOEpk
When we got to the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAMAvlpzGT1Y
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 783Please respect copyright.PENANAv7D2Pwn3oZ
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 783Please respect copyright.PENANA67JVZwtnvp
inside the elevator.783Please respect copyright.PENANAFZjlbblv8U
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.783Please respect copyright.PENANANWVWsSDxZ8
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."783Please respect copyright.PENANABJT8tAcpM7
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.783Please respect copyright.PENANAveOQp72hee
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.783Please respect copyright.PENANAP3IpbTErFm
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."783Please respect copyright.PENANAYLRMD9Oo6Z
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.783Please respect copyright.PENANACmowgU9fyZ
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANA9DakMmHEu4
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."783Please respect copyright.PENANA2mkV09HcHs
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."783Please respect copyright.PENANA17AQiiXBSa
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."783Please respect copyright.PENANA3nuxTxPQEV
"Well, if you're 783Please respect copyright.PENANA3kQMhhCb9c
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 783Please respect copyright.PENANAjVE43Py8x4
his face and I could tell something was up.783Please respect copyright.PENANAhVOBwVSPlj
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAGnq7vuuUCp
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."783Please respect copyright.PENANAH65zJezbt4
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"783Please respect copyright.PENANA9X1hOGKWFB
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."783Please respect copyright.PENANASpnifYiUgY
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.783Please respect copyright.PENANA2qh6oem96U
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."783Please respect copyright.PENANAz3mRSndV6x
"I came to see you guys 783Please respect copyright.PENANAWoBxgPSfBJ
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 783Please respect copyright.PENANALX2u97gu8r
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."783Please respect copyright.PENANA9z9lZ9oLMM
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."783Please respect copyright.PENANAn0moFfb9os
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."783Please respect copyright.PENANAaBJbcMvrCs
"Okay, then you go and 783Please respect copyright.PENANAQUMEAgWPBP
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino783Please respect copyright.PENANA9bG5U36lf5
to get Zoey as fast as we could."783Please respect copyright.PENANAUXeUVZWtnD
"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.783Please respect copyright.PENANA2QT970rvlr
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.783Please respect copyright.PENANAq0LUOdLsO1
We headed downstairs to 783Please respect copyright.PENANAcXRrJ2oft3
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 783Please respect copyright.PENANAN1TnMjCxlv
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.783Please respect copyright.PENANAjTe4A018xO
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"783Please respect copyright.PENANA4Krd96AYIe
"Trying to look good," 783Please respect copyright.PENANASSLeYEeMAQ
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 783Please respect copyright.PENANA2jUBTyVi0L
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 783Please respect copyright.PENANAiabpSTNLCR
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."783Please respect copyright.PENANAdZYAga2GoP
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.783Please respect copyright.PENANAP7P6T1KofM
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.783Please respect copyright.PENANAkqC0RCah38
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."783Please respect copyright.PENANAsKcYEehI9L
"You're kidding, right?"783Please respect copyright.PENANA0JaoPe25V6
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."783Please respect copyright.PENANAOyAc7GyM3O
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"783Please respect copyright.PENANArekGRaf9a6
"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."783Please respect copyright.PENANA6njgz1Kmlx
Just as I turned around 783Please respect copyright.PENANAg87d8CEGvt
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 783Please respect copyright.PENANArLSGVoXL5v
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 783Please respect copyright.PENANAb0IJmhovir
the the floor we were on.783Please respect copyright.PENANAqrsjDVZNcr
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.783Please respect copyright.PENANAKqoICp30BD
Just as we turned round a783Please respect copyright.PENANA7AhiOBGuKQ
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 783Please respect copyright.PENANAo0uNOmtaPd
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAgQHBTnWAXI
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 783Please respect copyright.PENANAnNe0EK0lSn
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.783Please respect copyright.PENANAlJjcvI8k14
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAZZTyEkbtV4
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.783Please respect copyright.PENANAx9DLE7qESo
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAFFAjtfMuy4
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."783Please respect copyright.PENANAvqZZcTi1DO
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAKuuJ8HdMmY
I didn't say anything as783Please respect copyright.PENANAHc2CiAkr3N
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAZcOnvcSGH3
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 783Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kbp6sR08M
Hyun-suk's voice.783Please respect copyright.PENANAsWPsVyZUOk
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.783Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gkty8KLLW
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.783Please respect copyright.PENANA591in6NXt9
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.783Please respect copyright.PENANAcMYFd7QMO7
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.783Please respect copyright.PENANAJJrnf76mgF
I checked around with my783Please respect copyright.PENANAtNCHsOysGD
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 783Please respect copyright.PENANAn5pCPWIlxR
the light went on in the tiny room.783Please respect copyright.PENANAPE5a0vGL7p
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANATy1CWBdXQL
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.783Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ7D67K7lG
I shook my head. "They are still there."783Please respect copyright.PENANAnhiSglQgSO
Mino and Zoey both 783Please respect copyright.PENANAEyqvDNtWs0
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 783Please respect copyright.PENANApuRO1jkgvr
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAz5daQIk0YS
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 783Please respect copyright.PENANAdvKiM3zvpn
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 783Please respect copyright.PENANA7f4Ie7hFyf
behind me.783Please respect copyright.PENANAkKni5ZDfBn
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.783Please respect copyright.PENANAjR02LLjpjd
"I think they are gone," I whispered.783Please respect copyright.PENANAhgJyp2UtHw
"Try and check," Mino whispered.783Please respect copyright.PENANAVsUIGwfE9m
I took hold of the door 783Please respect copyright.PENANAhKEK4r4a2y
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 783Please respect copyright.PENANAdETFeAth9X
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of783Please respect copyright.PENANAIIe2KoPrQl
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.783Please respect copyright.PENANAg6O6BRaiwc
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.783Please respect copyright.PENANAAO1hzGl5UQ
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.783Please respect copyright.PENANAYSJQXjXb3F
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.783Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mu06LkQg8
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.783Please respect copyright.PENANAzrnsqb6bys
The three of us were 783Please respect copyright.PENANAgU1gfi7r8M
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 783Please respect copyright.PENANAkrzzNv3NSa
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was783Please respect copyright.PENANAKWBAZUDbnd
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 783Please respect copyright.PENANAiANjFWVdNh
heard the phone ring.783Please respect copyright.PENANAtrp3kYffiI
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.783Please respect copyright.PENANAiWUnSqyuAN
I quickly took the bag 783Please respect copyright.PENANADYTmrmSsJs
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 783Please respect copyright.PENANAYqMzXhpqT5
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 783Please respect copyright.PENANAUUVdONw3v1
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 783Please respect copyright.PENANAcczvBLeVGV
anything strange."783Please respect copyright.PENANA6aSd0yYAUZ
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAHTjxUHQQ8J
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."783Please respect copyright.PENANAangrNvS4cj
Mino and Zoey quickly 783Please respect copyright.PENANAF6EUOW5uWq
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 783Please respect copyright.PENANA0Cr7HOjalf
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 783Please respect copyright.PENANA93TMVS7nJ9
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 783Please respect copyright.PENANAua9Ue9nloe
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 783Please respect copyright.PENANAFAVjMYSc5E
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.783Please respect copyright.PENANAIcXoH2t1zu
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."783Please respect copyright.PENANAFQZTeM2wIK
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.783Please respect copyright.PENANARLXCxVrski
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."783Please respect copyright.PENANA4xnnrblEuO
I gave them a little 783Please respect copyright.PENANAtqPxJWTILJ
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 783Please respect copyright.PENANARNOP5puVyj
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 783Please respect copyright.PENANAYHkPoSFD8D
the place.783Please respect copyright.PENANAmI4zSW5fsd
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"783Please respect copyright.PENANA4BCIt2JEnF
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.783Please respect copyright.PENANAghq3MpOkWo
"I must say, I watched 783Please respect copyright.PENANAhX3zff9WWh
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 783Please respect copyright.PENANAf27P3xdLe5
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 783Please respect copyright.PENANAEwiZ7DxUxH
black suit.783Please respect copyright.PENANAA80IF5HyVk
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.783Please respect copyright.PENANA1y4cVHlVpN
"You really do have good manners," said other man.783Please respect copyright.PENANACqLE3PDql8
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.783Please respect copyright.PENANAqzVDIneHFl
"I always do my best," I said politely.783Please respect copyright.PENANAK9X0sWWT7T
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.783Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZuMLc9Kdk
I felt my eyes were 783Please respect copyright.PENANAdCmtT8RbyF
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 783Please respect copyright.PENANAoG7e1IW2GZ
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 783Please respect copyright.PENANAf8ezJp9Sps
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 783Please respect copyright.PENANAf0wkgqOOuk
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.783Please respect copyright.PENANAx9lONAII8M
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"783Please respect copyright.PENANAormMjh2M9I
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me783Please respect copyright.PENANAJApwTHVxpy
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 783Please respect copyright.PENANAmm6m38xhHg
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"783Please respect copyright.PENANA1SECXye5Ib
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.783Please respect copyright.PENANAcQXpj2ASbz
"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."783Please respect copyright.PENANAISpcH4JJLz
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.783Please respect copyright.PENANAQiOYIfY6co
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.783Please respect copyright.PENANAG1zzEbKTYK
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."783Please respect copyright.PENANAqywmCCLjoR
I smiled as I bowed my 783Please respect copyright.PENANAuWZXdw0f5g
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 783Please respect copyright.PENANAqiZuBf1K7Y
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 783Please respect copyright.PENANA5VtzsSMMDr
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I783Please respect copyright.PENANATauOPrgTn3
was until now.783Please respect copyright.PENANACZl2pIsA1z
I quickly ran to the 783Please respect copyright.PENANATZQRZ4HMh7
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 783Please respect copyright.PENANACQxN2T85aS
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 783Please respect copyright.PENANAhuA4LAd3iE
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 783Please respect copyright.PENANApBvihyMB2w
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 783Please respect copyright.PENANAu56gTxaNW7
see.783Please respect copyright.PENANAOQMCun76VX
"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.783Please respect copyright.PENANA2rb5eWkuau
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."783Please respect copyright.PENANAiXZx4OS3pd
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.783Please respect copyright.PENANAZruCtQIRwo
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.783Please respect copyright.PENANAYvJxuDZaZB
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.783Please respect copyright.PENANA0rgCS7FHTp
"Because I missed you."783Please respect copyright.PENANA21xQ8j5bmO
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.783Please respect copyright.PENANAFiwBpHDRax
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.783Please respect copyright.PENANAzoA2BvlHoz
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.783Please respect copyright.PENANAF8UxlfNMt2
When we reached the 783Please respect copyright.PENANA97jPaKdkRq
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 783Please respect copyright.PENANAs6UU4Xc7HC
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 783Please respect copyright.PENANA4ManTBJPI2
lobby.783Please respect copyright.PENANAujF9UAzhZa
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.783Please respect copyright.PENANAltD5uyxq3G
"I think I've an idea," I783Please respect copyright.PENANAq31NkNXFcX
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going783Please respect copyright.PENANA4retjCSFdW
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAId3TzeySh4
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."783Please respect copyright.PENANAWeMm0zDKjR
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.783Please respect copyright.PENANA8sUvuopQmO
I rolled my eyes. I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAiOMqCVptHT
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself783Please respect copyright.PENANAymBNa1H15g
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAIKPuoNLIzn
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.783Please respect copyright.PENANAdFK9wTUk0H
"Because I'm smart 783Please respect copyright.PENANArsuPt8Absl
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such783Please respect copyright.PENANAw3erjrwVBA
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"783Please respect copyright.PENANApY0TgAp59m
Mino and TOP smiled at 783Please respect copyright.PENANA7XsyyTLMiA
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 783Please respect copyright.PENANATJbCwCaI43
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 783Please respect copyright.PENANA4YQBVl42k4
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.783Please respect copyright.PENANA1gO85lYnMF
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."783Please respect copyright.PENANAwjXInxcAiB
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANATbUp2XlAyi
"If we don't take the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAPOBXX9FzEB
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 783Please respect copyright.PENANAMxRZBrzIJB
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."783Please respect copyright.PENANAvu0Hs7NYig
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.783Please respect copyright.PENANA4dyPRpc9Tm
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.783Please respect copyright.PENANAQuleTRaGPe
"You guys go right now 783Please respect copyright.PENANAe9WaPVr6KV
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 783Please respect copyright.PENANA1rzbx8uOUj
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."783Please respect copyright.PENANAkQiDrDvtlZ
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.783Please respect copyright.PENANAI47DUCDYFd
"Because I need you around."783Please respect copyright.PENANAbHdR8zrpYD
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.783Please respect copyright.PENANAkwYdLYQG1y
Seungyoon and his group 783Please respect copyright.PENANAeWh2o7CneM
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 783Please respect copyright.PENANAFRsiaLGdUg
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 783Please respect copyright.PENANA40zAcyPDQx
for ten minutes.783Please respect copyright.PENANAUN2bfUIS2m
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAEBrklzcujw
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.783Please respect copyright.PENANA2UuS7vRbnt
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.783Please respect copyright.PENANAnqWRcRpawS
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.783Please respect copyright.PENANADlXh7wgDqP
"So if you guys are 783Please respect copyright.PENANADTzq8EV59G
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 783Please respect copyright.PENANAaPtgFD8r6H
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANALk3FIL9j7w
"Why do you ask?" I asked.783Please respect copyright.PENANAFyYZ1qGmXD
"You guys can't just 783Please respect copyright.PENANAJjukzJbgr4
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 783Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5AKs7crZw
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 783Please respect copyright.PENANAKg84W4C5sw
managers will find out what's going on."783Please respect copyright.PENANAtTAka1a33J
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.783Please respect copyright.PENANA4WNpXcdI9B
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.783Please respect copyright.PENANA6s7MFyuqws
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.783Please respect copyright.PENANAn506o1Rztf
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."783Please respect copyright.PENANALbNixoxN8d
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."783Please respect copyright.PENANAmOK5O7oQk1
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.783Please respect copyright.PENANA2K8YyXZXw5
The others quickly 783Please respect copyright.PENANAqnS04KAfKH
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 783Please respect copyright.PENANAvf523PtsTZ
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 783Please respect copyright.PENANAyIrYKA5o6X
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 783Please respect copyright.PENANAY2RUe1Z5ry
worried that they might have hit their heads.783Please respect copyright.PENANA44gLIlXtKs
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.783Please respect copyright.PENANAqqhymWuCs5
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."783Please respect copyright.PENANATRnhgkeizB
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.783Please respect copyright.PENANAZQdSxRQuHm
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.783Please respect copyright.PENANABBhXXWEirc
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.783Please respect copyright.PENANAPbBSFn3TeN
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"783Please respect copyright.PENANAPdMoyTu4Ua
As soon as I turned 783Please respect copyright.PENANAsAJroc1Lco
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the783Please respect copyright.PENANA02KIpTxkuV
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 783Please respect copyright.PENANA7HYn4qSgwY
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 783Please respect copyright.PENANA1p8z7trTpA
behind me paused ready for the worst.783Please respect copyright.PENANA8SqznrOVl0
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.783Please respect copyright.PENANAE9GAqKDTqo
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."783Please respect copyright.PENANAEgJUmgaOo2
"Well, this day just got783Please respect copyright.PENANAsiQrbG48uK
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about783Please respect copyright.PENANAKsVrKmnbjc
it. I couldn't blame him for that.783Please respect copyright.PENANAnP0ASKNYj5
Coming out of the 783Please respect copyright.PENANAQxGPgaFP8F
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 783Please respect copyright.PENANAHdEPNSwvFF
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 783Please respect copyright.PENANAhFFJjWTLym
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.783Please respect copyright.PENANAIlu5GAR18N
I felt like I had stood 783Please respect copyright.PENANAfKC9yT7oJq
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged783Please respect copyright.PENANAJa0QK4jLOr
me on the shoulder to get my attention.783Please respect copyright.PENANAEox6GGT6jX
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.783Please respect copyright.PENANAiMx3C47uEq
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.783Please respect copyright.PENANAsz0qokJujW
