“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.”372Please respect copyright.PENANAdv725et32s

372Please respect copyright.PENANAdKzlBnvbgs
“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.”372Please respect copyright.PENANAIYbKPcJMmp
372Please respect copyright.PENANA2XHQScXl3L
372Please respect copyright.PENANA3hmMcu8SGL
“I told you I’m fine,” said Christine. Collins gave her a look that told her to be quiet. Christine read it and quickly looked up at the ceiling like she hadn’t said anything.372Please respect copyright.PENANAbmuECY7Ct1
372Please respect copyright.PENANANgNyfknJ05
372Please respect copyright.PENANAzbElPV0vk6

372Please respect copyright.PENANAmkpV7py6UC
372Please respect copyright.PENANA9vkOf0GsHl

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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAnyT5w2FRFh
372Please respect copyright.PENANAn4boo8MghZ
372Please respect copyright.PENANAEuUfcm6AKt
Lee and the doctor soon appeared in the hall, heading for the elevator and bypassing Zoey and Mike who said goodbye as Lee and the doctor entered the elevator. As soon as the doors closed, Daniel and I quietly ran out of the room, while Mike and Zoey also made their way back to the lounge.372Please respect copyright.PENANAvZVFm3YcXV

372Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Xf0aPETG
372Please respect copyright.PENANA2iuKceAK4b

372Please respect copyright.PENANAS16sK8KXSB

372Please respect copyright.PENANAzTzY3AdJKk

For those of us who stood at the door of lounge, we moved aside for Collins to pass as he went down the hall to his room. In turn, we entered the lounge. Zoey and I went to sit on either side of Christine, while the boys went to sit on the other couch.372Please respect copyright.PENANAtNgZneZqlf

372Please respect copyright.PENANAQfWLtd5ahQ
“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?”372Please respect copyright.PENANA6jM30ikiQX
372Please respect copyright.PENANASys2GdM8Ef
372Please respect copyright.PENANAgVESVDm92k
“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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAB974NX4IHr

372Please respect copyright.PENANAooLgCYERlm

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.372Please respect copyright.PENANA7H8DbCJLIY

“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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAnB5FGBBWzr
372Please respect copyright.PENANAQD90BiVwgH
372Please respect copyright.PENANAUw3xQPilIE

372Please respect copyright.PENANA6tOIwmGEO9
372Please respect copyright.PENANACOMarFXXaK

372Please respect copyright.PENANA8Uu9SYy2vQ
372Please respect copyright.PENANA18Jydbmwaw
The five of us didn’t say a thing. It’s exactly what we had been talking about a few minutes ago back at the hotel.372Please respect copyright.PENANA3W9HovK6mr
372Please respect copyright.PENANAd1JLb4WHg9
372Please respect copyright.PENANAOEhxN19qhE
“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?”372Please respect copyright.PENANAYPvcMliXIU
372Please respect copyright.PENANAqmvgCFchVN
372Please respect copyright.PENANAsI3yZ7B5kg
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAOk5Ud1Ye7q
372Please respect copyright.PENANANUXMWWQxCi

372Please respect copyright.PENANAdRAWoQJUXV

372Please respect copyright.PENANA7pgrsamsTJ
372Please respect copyright.PENANA7pHS9cy1aN

372Please respect copyright.PENANA5rmw0Jn25a

372Please respect copyright.PENANA94zmJY7kB3
372Please respect copyright.PENANASTkTnqSG55
“No, but she can’t risk herself with strenuous activity,” I answered. “That being said, you better go take a seat, Christine.” I came to stand next to her.372Please respect copyright.PENANAhWtSXCCkUk
372Please respect copyright.PENANAUm9FX3dAK7
372Please respect copyright.PENANA9oNMcnCLxG

372Please respect copyright.PENANAOSapDj9pGq
372Please respect copyright.PENANAqLNlCSqx9j
She sat on the couch and Jinwoo sat next to her, but not too close. I wanted to say something cute about the two of them, but I controlled myself as I remembered that I’m not supposed to.372Please respect copyright.PENANAXDsj8oaaBJ

372Please respect copyright.PENANAIEp5IJQdFu
"I thought you would never ask," said Zoey as she excitedly turned to look at Mino who sat next to her. Before she could utter a word, she noticed that a lot of us were looking at her with perplexed looks. Just a minute ago, she looked like she was about to punch the wall. Now she looked cheerful.372Please respect copyright.PENANAqYzpc7sJRv

372Please respect copyright.PENANAIEWefXoyno

372Please respect copyright.PENANAvd5YLsHYAr

372Please respect copyright.PENANAe0HJNCG3NW
372Please respect copyright.PENANAzzJCiFFdWl
"I guess," I turned to look at Zoey who already had her head turned to look elsewhere. "Zoey is way more upset than we are, though."372Please respect copyright.PENANAP9YWj6GWBA
372Please respect copyright.PENANAZb85zF8jW9

372Please respect copyright.PENANAeFghIJ2b8g
372Please respect copyright.PENANAaa7oNkOYNe
Lisa pulled out her phone from her fancy blue purse and called G-Dragon. She even made sure to put the phone on loud speaker for everyone to hear.372Please respect copyright.PENANAbEZCDYtnMO
372Please respect copyright.PENANAOs06i9nBrY
372Please respect copyright.PENANA1MnYCO7ifg
His phone on the other end started to ring. We all waited in silence for what felt like a minute when Zoey said:372Please respect copyright.PENANAQcoB1ySVeu
372Please respect copyright.PENANAtz2ZD0d3k2
372Please respect copyright.PENANAG4pZufctKR

372Please respect copyright.PENANAI3AGWreDaQ

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:372Please respect copyright.PENANAFW9UZgqhkW
372Please respect copyright.PENANAYezA3Uuero
372Please respect copyright.PENANAWyqzNdZiuo
"Wow, that's so typical of him. He even went to have fun with Johnny after the stunt he pulled?!"372Please respect copyright.PENANAyIzYqZyqML
372Please respect copyright.PENANA91pLMnxlq2
372Please respect copyright.PENANApHiiFiVse0

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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAAeom2BE37e
372Please respect copyright.PENANAFlvQbzAgyD
372Please respect copyright.PENANAGttbpjZybT
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.372Please respect copyright.PENANAADQ6o15mNV
372Please respect copyright.PENANAkYQPNH7tHP
372Please respect copyright.PENANArPI7147tW4
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.372Please respect copyright.PENANAsNXhk2pEjg
372Please respect copyright.PENANAf2KijkI3mJ
372Please respect copyright.PENANAwGaNEyJ32a
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.372Please respect copyright.PENANAsK0lmTWISR
372Please respect copyright.PENANA97Fb8g5DT2
372Please respect copyright.PENANAsQpZ7BXtTw
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."372Please respect copyright.PENANAnT90ZmsdPr
372Please respect copyright.PENANAZVg9OU6Jl1
372Please respect copyright.PENANALJ8TNxAVaH
"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."372Please respect copyright.PENANAeO96V0rIG9
372Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1fA1B6Rv8
372Please respect copyright.PENANARK3WPNWG7r
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.372Please respect copyright.PENANAda7zptbVBo
372Please respect copyright.PENANALosfvwVadX
372Please respect copyright.PENANAPutnLlrRSg
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANA9qZeEBnzpZ
372Please respect copyright.PENANAzSqACr9iMr
372Please respect copyright.PENANAZ29LyfGgp4
"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?372Please respect copyright.PENANANI8FxFDDQv
372Please respect copyright.PENANAYG8Bxtg9th
372Please respect copyright.PENANAfxLBSh8mcq
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.372Please respect copyright.PENANA0OnaGMhTmr
372Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ4UR90RCS
372Please respect copyright.PENANAnzEfZ2Pk0c
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAnimihhgTQ5
372Please respect copyright.PENANAhdmDvh6Qg4
372Please respect copyright.PENANAFnwfckc96l
"The song is going to be great, right?" Jisoo asked.372Please respect copyright.PENANAxgZUFHBrYc
372Please respect copyright.PENANAgtLHBuz857
372Please respect copyright.PENANAVIZgJQd8DT
"I just want to ask how you were able to come up with your amazing songs," said Mino.372Please respect copyright.PENANAcTonFewYdK
372Please respect copyright.PENANAvG1KljjJZf
372Please respect copyright.PENANAqEmkAEY5xS
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.372Please respect copyright.PENANAzupN6o08MS
372Please respect copyright.PENANABQjxMt4qZN
372Please respect copyright.PENANAsY1TAqogdt
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.372Please respect copyright.PENANAriEa8As5yw
372Please respect copyright.PENANAIivryAnSDR
372Please respect copyright.PENANABB3iJhdWhv
"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."372Please respect copyright.PENANAK4ZkAuWCOx
372Please respect copyright.PENANAkN4NY97ptA
372Please respect copyright.PENANABhGmLXkKcl
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.372Please respect copyright.PENANARlJS0s3f7U
372Please respect copyright.PENANAKUQLi5oIdM
372Please respect copyright.PENANAXv1cMKHHiN
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."372Please respect copyright.PENANAJaHGHHsmxZ
372Please respect copyright.PENANAiCXBx6nxTC
372Please respect copyright.PENANAA9E7xGMpwK
"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.372Please respect copyright.PENANATeu9XzV2fg
372Please respect copyright.PENANAbFycYGFv6t
372Please respect copyright.PENANAwGNnEnNUIp
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.372Please respect copyright.PENANAJNeX1JEeJo
372Please respect copyright.PENANAOw49PPCcBL
372Please respect copyright.PENANAI2XvGUguh0
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."372Please respect copyright.PENANAWko5ez1PKs
372Please respect copyright.PENANARxi2xqxTNs
372Please respect copyright.PENANA3bHED6TOw9
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.372Please respect copyright.PENANAjIKtJ1w0ga
372Please respect copyright.PENANAQBB1dLVr8B
372Please respect copyright.PENANAMtRgk25LGD
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANALYyrJXLKxz
372Please respect copyright.PENANA7IaRaqVEvu
372Please respect copyright.PENANAGVj8iAruhY
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.372Please respect copyright.PENANAnjWl4aFbAw
372Please respect copyright.PENANAMXBxC2LJxe
372Please respect copyright.PENANA3TTQDYbLOw
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."372Please respect copyright.PENANAEVyvplHsS6
372Please respect copyright.PENANAddDOWq1v3q
372Please respect copyright.PENANAXbsyM8WeBC
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."372Please respect copyright.PENANAAGLVL41HNE
372Please respect copyright.PENANArTOvhnwkCZ
372Please respect copyright.PENANAyFxmatwWzm
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAPowVGQulZn
372Please respect copyright.PENANAAGNKruY0BZ
372Please respect copyright.PENANAxqDofxwL9k
"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."372Please respect copyright.PENANAghWmwrTJWt
372Please respect copyright.PENANAAwOVAyvSa3
372Please respect copyright.PENANAchiqSbB86I
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAzj2uyeaTxo
372Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ6GCaxNN0
372Please respect copyright.PENANAqKZDKaBrYY
"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.372Please respect copyright.PENANArLMhly1zWS
372Please respect copyright.PENANAGinYt3qHOS
372Please respect copyright.PENANAMkbEjZ2Uvb
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAYwWQxOBLAr
372Please respect copyright.PENANACk5qqwfFuC
372Please respect copyright.PENANAEFu2zKp1Av
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.372Please respect copyright.PENANAZl0YKxgdNA
372Please respect copyright.PENANAtcusMMbvAm
372Please respect copyright.PENANAak2YQSVoEz
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"372Please respect copyright.PENANAUTZacmJU3S
372Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0bukcowdH
372Please respect copyright.PENANA4gtZP56TvV
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAM6hqxwpa8m
372Please respect copyright.PENANArRYCjoTGTq
372Please respect copyright.PENANA99Nge0YKws
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.372Please respect copyright.PENANAwi55X3fEcL
372Please respect copyright.PENANAikXAxvSiyG
372Please respect copyright.PENANAiz6x4StZs0
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:372Please respect copyright.PENANAnDhDzvPker
372Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zaw07Cz8F
372Please respect copyright.PENANANZt3GtShIa
"Yes, I do."372Please respect copyright.PENANAFx3m96QuYG
372Please respect copyright.PENANAUoGI1gEXgo
372Please respect copyright.PENANAfqn2dFky5b
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.372Please respect copyright.PENANAPg41HdjjQW
372Please respect copyright.PENANAnQzww9ySg0
372Please respect copyright.PENANAwqGN2jDGuj
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.372Please respect copyright.PENANAbCWGdtkmuK
372Please respect copyright.PENANAvOmfDEWNqP
372Please respect copyright.PENANA5jGxw5Y3Zj
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAVthofZ1AI4
372Please respect copyright.PENANAmo1tN9FTeJ
372Please respect copyright.PENANAZcH78FQxq6
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
