“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.”496Please respect copyright.PENANAvHTyv5Qsn0

“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.”496Please respect copyright.PENANAD7LsqGsE9s
496Please respect copyright.PENANAsffapHW7Qf
496Please respect copyright.PENANAEhA64R9Zdr
“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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAh6ZJA8RyMA

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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAtIzCCll87p
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZdV9pL1FV6
496Please respect copyright.PENANAGQYJwenenl
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.

496Please respect copyright.PENANABJZWRwhU9S

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.496Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ii9C8sJEh

“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?”496Please respect copyright.PENANAjVZayzOrtI
496Please respect copyright.PENANA0BNMb8QagE
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPMXldq7bmB
“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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAuIw1HJVhF0

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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAecpZpOzCcb

“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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAGDgQxP6gjy
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOskhkIYghq

496Please respect copyright.PENANA1IXG5vqYaY
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQH8nhLuf1K

496Please respect copyright.PENANAOh1Jnxj3XU
496Please respect copyright.PENANAocm2eR6N8V
“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?”496Please respect copyright.PENANArNa0OT5Gq5
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUjjSCtWvqV
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQtrrxPeVmH
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.496Please respect copyright.PENANALH2g8KYO6r

496Please respect copyright.PENANAb3Skb5OqJP
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHZpfYiT0wV

496Please respect copyright.PENANA0H0IOM3ySH

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

496Please respect copyright.PENANA8dM55oOa3P
496Please respect copyright.PENANAFShCOAxFTF

496Please respect copyright.PENANAZpTjNjaDuO

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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAgQMpqmq4rE
496Please respect copyright.PENANAhvM53qAo0v
496Please respect copyright.PENANAfydrbYbr0o
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.496Please respect copyright.PENANAIPMeWZksQ2
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWSmZCkPTzf
496Please respect copyright.PENANActyfCPwLxk
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.496Please respect copyright.PENANAid1Chokrwp
496Please respect copyright.PENANATHv60oGtkL
496Please respect copyright.PENANA9l6BFFthLt
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.496Please respect copyright.PENANAtuEWoMQdOf
496Please respect copyright.PENANADRfBwyXLuu
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvGZFxBirzN

496Please respect copyright.PENANA3fud7BqLK7
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUSLJSW1mJc
"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."496Please respect copyright.PENANA75mJ6I1D3T
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqfXK8Zso1h
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWM7JnKCu1F

496Please respect copyright.PENANAF14ziLmU2b
496Please respect copyright.PENANAec2opb5YDh
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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAKgOa6DPEP8
496Please respect copyright.PENANA7knoAYZ9Nl
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPcPOHlQPEo
"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?496Please respect copyright.PENANAY0ZQByay5D
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjYlZOS12pL
496Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ilc6RlW81
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.496Please respect copyright.PENANALFtIq8F6Da
496Please respect copyright.PENANAnLxNlF2X4m
496Please respect copyright.PENANAP29H18zPhr
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.496Please respect copyright.PENANABs3yEJZ4ny
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5gqnKPeU0o
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqx5gjL0urr

496Please respect copyright.PENANAj2sbWAzvnB
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPX5qrA8XB0
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.496Please respect copyright.PENANAqaRcVfbb7b
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbeWFNtXq0h
496Please respect copyright.PENANAa3UFDOVqHi
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.496Please respect copyright.PENANALEl4wM9o2x
496Please respect copyright.PENANAAZNuhgktmE
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbRuJFdzTrr
"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."496Please respect copyright.PENANAqi7fgHwBRz
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVOWmXJyZyX
496Please respect copyright.PENANAavwO28ePa1

496Please respect copyright.PENANAgAaGTbd9yF
496Please respect copyright.PENANAm3H7HtoA6L
"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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAAWIzMkRqDk
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbBFzmQcAFc
496Please respect copyright.PENANAblXmsf3ASX
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.496Please respect copyright.PENANAoIiIFEm0vT
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwRALdxzf5I
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHfLrUstfy5
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."496Please respect copyright.PENANAgKfas3Ye5t
496Please respect copyright.PENANA2tw8K7KJCX
496Please respect copyright.PENANArT8zaZ9TkQ

496Please respect copyright.PENANAnzBZFmM3In
496Please respect copyright.PENANAIv3Gvd0Bzp
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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAJKt2bBA73d
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgUUlRNjC3e
496Please respect copyright.PENANArxMKU0j7gv
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.496Please respect copyright.PENANAYDKZ8E4Ie7
496Please respect copyright.PENANAK0Cu5UwN0k
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvXDTL7w3ur
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."496Please respect copyright.PENANAJkRiHKCPLI
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYTzP1OFYBi
496Please respect copyright.PENANATsgYHCMLFt
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."496Please respect copyright.PENANAKz4uUXeZJk
496Please respect copyright.PENANATCvrFQJhYa
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvg6dlCZmli
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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAF4pQ1hdz1R
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPU7l22KkQ8
496Please respect copyright.PENANAJsSBjqSoIu
"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."496Please respect copyright.PENANAMMOVn9gudh
496Please respect copyright.PENANAif6DI1YvQY
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxZAgRmo3tl
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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAk6xb87uUvo
496Please respect copyright.PENANAeT077W7BpK
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgKIppokrz4
"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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAzRVlYGi2B1
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZtoBOmNXki
496Please respect copyright.PENANAfnLZb7mp65
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.496Please respect copyright.PENANASlJBUayrf5
496Please respect copyright.PENANA4U10ux2Vnr
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ4SR6Hnd6
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.496Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jbym8cSnm
496Please respect copyright.PENANAa3YNkVF2qf
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZLtazjyiSg
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"496Please respect copyright.PENANAjKmt1Xy91f
496Please respect copyright.PENANAAehRCtXaT0
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbK4kEblzQw
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.496Please respect copyright.PENANAZTAdan8WtN
496Please respect copyright.PENANAB5FNWQ1kdu
496Please respect copyright.PENANApDl2atENIS
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.496Please respect copyright.PENANAEi7LG1l1Ll
496Please respect copyright.PENANA620s7QGYZz
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5N3Se3vvl7
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:496Please respect copyright.PENANAPankbDYPjh
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYMdUMGV2cm
496Please respect copyright.PENANAlHdRxRhoA6
"Yes, I do."496Please respect copyright.PENANAkqI1mFL8Y5
496Please respect copyright.PENANApba5bekkQp
496Please respect copyright.PENANAn9kc43PGBs
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.496Please respect copyright.PENANAzO8iTtPchG
496Please respect copyright.PENANA21JQ6fntLh
496Please respect copyright.PENANAS8ydWjwMmJ
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.496Please respect copyright.PENANAG3jAC2R512
496Please respect copyright.PENANAXHwRaUDN3m
496Please respect copyright.PENANA277YyVHeV6
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.496Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZOPkc1FS4
496Please respect copyright.PENANAa1gyLtX860
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWVsjPtm3dw
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
