Meeting WINNER the 983Please respect copyright.PENANAuZAE3PyLrY
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 983Please respect copyright.PENANA2jcM4nXQIZ
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 983Please respect copyright.PENANAdwROLUihNk
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 983Please respect copyright.PENANAzJwRZxWjoz
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 983Please respect copyright.PENANA1FiyH3HKqS
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.983Please respect copyright.PENANAI58yNT8Ucx
With the little time we 983Please respect copyright.PENANAIypktzu7g8
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again983Please respect copyright.PENANA8GdKxirfUi
as we all got to know each other.983Please respect copyright.PENANAuglw6UNCo5
Seungyoon, the leader 983Please respect copyright.PENANA7hWQSwiS93
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 983Please respect copyright.PENANAWn9TbIVdT9
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a983Please respect copyright.PENANAyOK3d4kZht
fun and nice person to be around with.983Please respect copyright.PENANAr9BOM7Kb2R
Then there is Mino, who 983Please respect copyright.PENANA0ARpwY1UlA
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for983Please respect copyright.PENANAzKmQjrMvfC
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 983Please respect copyright.PENANAgF2qiC06TL
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.983Please respect copyright.PENANA5WYPr8dpcp
As for Jinwoo and 983Please respect copyright.PENANAKYyCLFIAIB
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.983Please respect copyright.PENANAkHDuIHrl1M
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 983Please respect copyright.PENANAv6bHIyAhrF
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 983Please respect copyright.PENANAwZyVrYHaeG
in Korea.983Please respect copyright.PENANAFASD6BtRmu
As for Seunghoon, I 983Please respect copyright.PENANA8eGJ3pvSC5
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking983Please respect copyright.PENANAOfIESpFlSf
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 983Please respect copyright.PENANAi6bKNVrVjA
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.983Please respect copyright.PENANA1R0XHK0CK4
Before they left, we 983Please respect copyright.PENANAcfZu4lXp3z
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 983Please respect copyright.PENANACsGH6XtKOf
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 983Please respect copyright.PENANA8QSYS0W7Sk
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 983Please respect copyright.PENANAPXcq0aefJU
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done983Please respect copyright.PENANAD36nsbf3aj
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 983Please respect copyright.PENANAV32yvzXwOw
place?983Please respect copyright.PENANA8KOaJfMvjP
I already had that part 983Please respect copyright.PENANAlLz2poIwHI
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 983Please respect copyright.PENANAFygtMIHGTA
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 983Please respect copyright.PENANAiDDr8izwIh
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAf00gsg31W3
wouldn't have to break a sweat.983Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9cObLw9s4
Right now, this very 983Please respect copyright.PENANAheQv7V6Jak
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 983Please respect copyright.PENANA23OOerQrVS
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 983Please respect copyright.PENANAn3ClknW6jE
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee983Please respect copyright.PENANABDeN12dj0f
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 983Please respect copyright.PENANAj8xLs3xcUu
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 983Please respect copyright.PENANACRAjEAgcpV
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.983Please respect copyright.PENANAuyXs1KW6yv
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.983Please respect copyright.PENANAYwG8Yuj7vj
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAg45aUZ6rui
"I'm tired of sleeping,"983Please respect copyright.PENANAYEpZJxWItn
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 983Please respect copyright.PENANAmnMDr8nTcF
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 983Please respect copyright.PENANAnNCrQjZBeH
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.983Please respect copyright.PENANAyR4dtz6FYS
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.983Please respect copyright.PENANAci36IdDWic
"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."983Please respect copyright.PENANAziCgVVa3zi
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.983Please respect copyright.PENANA6pW94X7Al7
"You know, going for 983Please respect copyright.PENANANHEiBzjcg0
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAOer7BsOqga
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 983Please respect copyright.PENANArU52lPeIQR
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 983Please respect copyright.PENANArkGL4sRTDP
we try to do what we're familiar with."983Please respect copyright.PENANAL7nK9M9PdI
"Mmmm, I guess you're 983Please respect copyright.PENANAt7iWpYw1Z0
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 983Please respect copyright.PENANAiDfPuPkB59
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 983Please respect copyright.PENANAjzupR9BJU9
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."983Please respect copyright.PENANANGJKhFguVt
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.983Please respect copyright.PENANAQyORNgTDGI
"Yep," Collins nodded 983Please respect copyright.PENANAQeW2lRpqBB
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 983Please respect copyright.PENANAFPLKb5JdXe
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 983Please respect copyright.PENANANwNChk4cpr
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 983Please respect copyright.PENANAY3bgOVeOKx
good now, will it?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAW6xHfQMNK4
Wow. This was literally 983Please respect copyright.PENANA0dq447xaWs
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 983Please respect copyright.PENANAFX0K2WIhow
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.983Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7u6aLWpcZ
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.983Please respect copyright.PENANAvvThAfIhro
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.983Please respect copyright.PENANAiRZfoN4HrR
I left the lounge at a 983Please respect copyright.PENANA0ebYsN07k7
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 983Please respect copyright.PENANA850wtNbMP7
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door983Please respect copyright.PENANA0hj7wCCUOu
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.983Please respect copyright.PENANAfgnOQR3CQj
Zoey sat up with a start983Please respect copyright.PENANAwp9i8Q1Hqq
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 983Please respect copyright.PENANAgvceAC80Z0
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.983Please respect copyright.PENANAJxbHpL8AnD
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAmV445il9ni
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.983Please respect copyright.PENANATY7JR2L1Z2
At first she didn't say a983Please respect copyright.PENANAK2AsG846Uk
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 983Please respect copyright.PENANAa8kzmDHebb
looking at me with her eyes wide open.983Please respect copyright.PENANAITJzXVUtLZ
"What did you say?" she asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0rIjlC8vF
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.983Please respect copyright.PENANAh3OQHLBLNU
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"983Please respect copyright.PENANA4AI9LOQIVZ
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."983Please respect copyright.PENANAO4uakGJbxo
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"983Please respect copyright.PENANATk44NqtbEP
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."983Please respect copyright.PENANAT3sHTWWpXx
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."983Please respect copyright.PENANA54bVp7WsZz
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.983Please respect copyright.PENANA92o7JLUyaJ
I went to wake up 983Please respect copyright.PENANAjnGw9NlM6i
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I983Please respect copyright.PENANApKdyIEKlZH
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.983Please respect copyright.PENANAgwjEpEZTmv
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAvyBnBpAEws
"I gave a reasonable 983Please respect copyright.PENANAofi1sWIkWT
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 983Please respect copyright.PENANAVdeLyK0HWL
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAv8DhqO9hok
I noticed Christine 983Please respect copyright.PENANAuiyGkvPyhm
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly983Please respect copyright.PENANAPKHLXCsIY5
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 983Please respect copyright.PENANA81m4gArycp
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 983Please respect copyright.PENANADG7UhjlMul
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.983Please respect copyright.PENANAzNsYTCcH6k
When we all had our bags983Please respect copyright.PENANASDLFIUwBqK
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 983Please respect copyright.PENANAjAfEcWYd0S
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 983Please respect copyright.PENANACLY8JBvfDM
looked at us.983Please respect copyright.PENANA8cVtYVULkf
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.983Please respect copyright.PENANA190aKfa1Rq
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."983Please respect copyright.PENANAp4fRUnz1Jz
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.983Please respect copyright.PENANAehz78YICAu
"I hate when you use my 983Please respect copyright.PENANAr0qz2yTgsm
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 983Please respect copyright.PENANAC08PJqPwk8
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."983Please respect copyright.PENANAlxHuwq9y7L
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."983Please respect copyright.PENANA5Mr31CKCmI
Collins rolled his eyes 983Please respect copyright.PENANA1FfQMvykjA
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 983Please respect copyright.PENANAX3d0IL1OCK
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."983Please respect copyright.PENANACZA17Ad5YL
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAxYaJYCxGIy
"I would really love to,983Please respect copyright.PENANAds2wpLGByf
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass983Please respect copyright.PENANAMSNHH2BU6u
by at lunchtime to check on you."983Please respect copyright.PENANAtKA4qROrx3
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.983Please respect copyright.PENANAQHb9XNllG0
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.983Please respect copyright.PENANAXwNSmGS5a8
"Nothing," said Christine.983Please respect copyright.PENANAJzdGsWdggY
I noticed Mike give 983Please respect copyright.PENANAp4CcW52SNH
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut983Please respect copyright.PENANAqjwy98SnMB
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 983Please respect copyright.PENANA8IZvYnCS0s
going on.983Please respect copyright.PENANATuYbaH65EI
"It's just about the 983Please respect copyright.PENANArGVWLdCCDT
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 983Please respect copyright.PENANAZWtPB2ymMB
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 983Please respect copyright.PENANA54CzlCNWfp
happened."983Please respect copyright.PENANA592lMfKFmj
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."983Please respect copyright.PENANALYSQvlhK1C
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."983Please respect copyright.PENANAoK5zMO59hR
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.983Please respect copyright.PENANAKrCXrR2c9T
When we arrived at YG, 983Please respect copyright.PENANAsSu0ABhxo2
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 983Please respect copyright.PENANAU75aQlZTHD
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.983Please respect copyright.PENANAGeKqqw24rI
"I already informed the 983Please respect copyright.PENANA0zkE7BNMEF
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 983Please respect copyright.PENANAaaFjtipb0m
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAJPoYmCMEKm
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."983Please respect copyright.PENANADGCMtB1v6J
"I know you will. See you later."983Please respect copyright.PENANAAXOEKDqwoc
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.983Please respect copyright.PENANAnhmHLVIvo5
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.983Please respect copyright.PENANAy49cIis9vW
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.983Please respect copyright.PENANAkx0UFvmUAE
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.983Please respect copyright.PENANApX3Olo6saV
"Careful, Zoey," I said 983Please respect copyright.PENANAYQDbkjBY7I
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 983Please respect copyright.PENANA4RRj6CwrMi
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."983Please respect copyright.PENANAoDjZezBbAz
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.983Please respect copyright.PENANAo9LTt0hepJ
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAyhttbGrEol
"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.983Please respect copyright.PENANAiCC6Wb1ZFO
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.983Please respect copyright.PENANARHEidCT9du
"No," I said as the 983Please respect copyright.PENANAM5ADMVQLTz
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 983Please respect copyright.PENANA7wtEzMTnmS
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 983Please respect copyright.PENANAg9AgwbVxY9
studios.983Please respect copyright.PENANAKuC94NaaNH
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.983Please respect copyright.PENANAucrEg4m2rH
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."983Please respect copyright.PENANA7lFDXFUZEl
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."983Please respect copyright.PENANA3DWXrYaWXq
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.983Please respect copyright.PENANA4piD9EgUlE
"That's different."983Please respect copyright.PENANAb40pemhft6
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."983Please respect copyright.PENANA4WdgfgmwMC
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAdEPiewqpVS
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."983Please respect copyright.PENANAQwTM5LsEft
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.983Please respect copyright.PENANAXtIxVaCyxb
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.983Please respect copyright.PENANAFHEDpRuPLO
It was so much fun 983Please respect copyright.PENANAJRJRtC66nJ
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 983Please respect copyright.PENANABEEK2oGpmE
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 983Please respect copyright.PENANALrVFeHiP3v
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.983Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1Dnv2nuu3
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.983Please respect copyright.PENANAC0l4ZOs6OU
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.983Please respect copyright.PENANAKtdLCbGfuc
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."983Please respect copyright.PENANAyv6EsyQnqs
"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."983Please respect copyright.PENANAIEogKk3kYp
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAxWRPHkW6pn
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.983Please respect copyright.PENANAFsO8XkDdsj
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.983Please respect copyright.PENANALqiieBktsV
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."983Please respect copyright.PENANAIuixxvzapk
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."983Please respect copyright.PENANAkaxjQpFCmB
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."983Please respect copyright.PENANAuwNrZaU86m
"Come on, Zoey," I 983Please respect copyright.PENANA8cdZUT7Lyd
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 983Please respect copyright.PENANAprXEFtyfKl
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."983Please respect copyright.PENANAhNyacx2YPo
"What song?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAdXNNTWRf1o
I didn't answer when I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAFGQFe4OmIe
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 983Please respect copyright.PENANAPIgwJbCL59
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 983Please respect copyright.PENANA9gLMsfmxDd
pill soon started to play.983Please respect copyright.PENANAlbTZGSiaAi
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.983Please respect copyright.PENANA0hcBIiBevS
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.983Please respect copyright.PENANAw6srLhDPqz
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.983Please respect copyright.PENANAyVVcNIw2sP
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.983Please respect copyright.PENANASFMEk20JdM
It's been a while since I983Please respect copyright.PENANA04PrN0JmzJ
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 983Please respect copyright.PENANA7xUaWnsdoH
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 983Please respect copyright.PENANARkq1fLdCLy
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.983Please respect copyright.PENANAWj4Z3F4UEo
At the end of it, the 983Please respect copyright.PENANAjUGSosKYWi
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 983Please respect copyright.PENANA6UX0FaNUbo
our moves synchronising with one another.983Please respect copyright.PENANACITS99sFmu
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.983Please respect copyright.PENANAWCmxvsTIYl
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."983Please respect copyright.PENANAne3Y82gHJi
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.983Please respect copyright.PENANAmvXNL2UwF7
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.983Please respect copyright.PENANAlj3NiKORq9
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.983Please respect copyright.PENANA1g5AuILxtt
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."983Please respect copyright.PENANAwR7hnRTaHI
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."983Please respect copyright.PENANAymRXmyCwsP
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.983Please respect copyright.PENANAO9mO008hC1
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.983Please respect copyright.PENANAvjuUfLtNFS
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9ymEdGSTP
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.983Please respect copyright.PENANAEnL5cN2JQ8
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAvx1QwJLydw
Mino and Seunghoon both 983Please respect copyright.PENANAiTWqL4Xwa5
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 983Please respect copyright.PENANAwali2Mb1To
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.983Please respect copyright.PENANADEAHvWIqg4
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.983Please respect copyright.PENANAJLNKd2S7Nv
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.983Please respect copyright.PENANArEWbBeI8wI
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."983Please respect copyright.PENANAAq04AXzC9j
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.983Please respect copyright.PENANAGviC6vWI5Z
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"983Please respect copyright.PENANA9A3SoKPHWN
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 983Please respect copyright.PENANAG4gnv9GrxF
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."983Please respect copyright.PENANAlTd7VdoLNN
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.983Please respect copyright.PENANA5hFg6GGNE1
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.983Please respect copyright.PENANASEWrpUOE9T
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANACaplq79Ycu
I nudged my head to the 983Please respect copyright.PENANA6G4BRv78b7
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 983Please respect copyright.PENANApM1KkHQNMW
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the983Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZHWAgCrBt
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.983Please respect copyright.PENANArsyxEIK6lZ
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.983Please respect copyright.PENANA7ueaDf0TdW
Seunghoon lips were 983Please respect copyright.PENANAV9MvWP74Bw
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was983Please respect copyright.PENANAREl2oPkH5C
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose983Please respect copyright.PENANAQqG1jMG7di
focus.983Please respect copyright.PENANAqGCPB7516o
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.983Please respect copyright.PENANA766nb7XgXk
"The others might, but I983Please respect copyright.PENANAbRej1H0WOy
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going983Please respect copyright.PENANATrS6qZ63Jp
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 983Please respect copyright.PENANAGfhuMbO3F1
when TOP came to pick me up?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAd8Dt72AcJg
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."983Please respect copyright.PENANAsobAyWgr82
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"983Please respect copyright.PENANADPLnjKzH0A
He again took a step closer. "Yes."983Please respect copyright.PENANA2eov9BdaS5
Well, that made sense 983Please respect copyright.PENANAMRa3nxYNIW
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 983Please respect copyright.PENANAoEJR6yV3Gb
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 983Please respect copyright.PENANAprJEvmFB7c
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 983Please respect copyright.PENANAdwojL4T62F
seen.983Please respect copyright.PENANA3kNaA190it
I hadn't realised it 983Please respect copyright.PENANA21pkBVmd3s
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking983Please respect copyright.PENANAFxUOgiZ18m
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 983Please respect copyright.PENANANwRwnqnmmc
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 983Please respect copyright.PENANAcQG87B3Yi6
uncomfortable.983Please respect copyright.PENANA23MZ3dV1eu
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.983Please respect copyright.PENANAE6ugFxv27y
"Well, yes," he 983Please respect copyright.PENANA7fe9bT2wnd
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 983Please respect copyright.PENANANtEHuZHKBw
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."983Please respect copyright.PENANAWrGq1ojcPn
"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."983Please respect copyright.PENANAN9giPsk3XB
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.983Please respect copyright.PENANAKrKJSsO11V
I blushed and I was a 983Please respect copyright.PENANAMDDVk0Amtr
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 983Please respect copyright.PENANAhfrNra3lyt
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 983Please respect copyright.PENANAPwOp0DfVEG
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 983Please respect copyright.PENANAHhRkTMHkE2
celebrities.983Please respect copyright.PENANAq5w9agCLZN
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAlKo9On7y8q
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.983Please respect copyright.PENANAIqHUzdrm8b
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."983Please respect copyright.PENANAPUZBxBOcWB
"No, they don't," I lied983Please respect copyright.PENANAl5xpz745rU
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 983Please respect copyright.PENANAIORkUrKt5m
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 983Please respect copyright.PENANA8OFh0PShGw
others had arrived.983Please respect copyright.PENANA4NSskJO8vv
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.983Please respect copyright.PENANAaFj2XdyLG6
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.983Please respect copyright.PENANALCcwZdyzDT
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.983Please respect copyright.PENANAzZXXBOyMvr
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAPZkMBlXGLD
"Awesome," I replied.983Please respect copyright.PENANAmF1fbD0ySB
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.983Please respect copyright.PENANA1aqcutvqnf
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.983Please respect copyright.PENANAvtRGqDvc0e
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.983Please respect copyright.PENANAhDnUb4b5cn
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.983Please respect copyright.PENANAVzRejLmNpq
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.983Please respect copyright.PENANAiXeF9Mfj91
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.983Please respect copyright.PENANAbWPwXAxDRW
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."983Please respect copyright.PENANAfSxO4QYOG5
"And besides, you and I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAYSQka9AybO
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 983Please respect copyright.PENANAqUpXt0Bp32
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 983Please respect copyright.PENANAtzzhygxdc0
and Seunghoon showed up."983Please respect copyright.PENANA6TVFYKR2IW
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.983Please respect copyright.PENANAafqA8FlOCX
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.983Please respect copyright.PENANALxycQ4AzUI
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."983Please respect copyright.PENANAs3fgIrOg36
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.983Please respect copyright.PENANAqCLKp9hvYr
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.983Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ0ZbEShEi
Apparently, he wasn't 983Please respect copyright.PENANAkOvCiBToVb
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all983Please respect copyright.PENANAK7HfGMX2Ms
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that983Please respect copyright.PENANA7TugNuAB7v
just made him look even more adorable.983Please respect copyright.PENANAMxJBKyX8xD
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.983Please respect copyright.PENANA2g8T7yvh8d
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."983Please respect copyright.PENANAcNZc3mx31I
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.983Please respect copyright.PENANAv7AsigkpN4
"Yes!" I heard the four 983Please respect copyright.PENANAQlSzsSdjlB
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 983Please respect copyright.PENANARhKaW9cwnF
at the track list. Then, something came to me.983Please respect copyright.PENANAYatRcZTMtP
"Change of plans, Zoey,"983Please respect copyright.PENANA1G9KXbq62Z
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want983Please respect copyright.PENANAq3V9E5ILzJ
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."983Please respect copyright.PENANASL1QNN3NbE
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."983Please respect copyright.PENANAjG6prUMmcb
"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."983Please respect copyright.PENANAYEU0z2PKCZ
"This just got interesting," said Mino.983Please respect copyright.PENANAGb9ihbIwLD
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAW8MfpZSFMN
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."983Please respect copyright.PENANAQZyZ7KTpBO
"Taeyang is going to 983Please respect copyright.PENANAlwWsRNjAn4
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 983Please respect copyright.PENANAnlKq4yX43s
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."983Please respect copyright.PENANAQeMvv0OHN6
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."983Please respect copyright.PENANAljfCvs7ZuF
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.983Please respect copyright.PENANAhs9uE1WPv9
I tapped the track on my983Please respect copyright.PENANArXgwXGtuDi
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 983Please respect copyright.PENANAEfcmycLYhQ
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.983Please respect copyright.PENANACqv3IWzmnC
When the song started, I983Please respect copyright.PENANA80waDTBP8Y
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 983Please respect copyright.PENANARFavR5xCo1
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 983Please respect copyright.PENANACtf2LvS1rR
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 983Please respect copyright.PENANA2ss4fszML7
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to983Please respect copyright.PENANA0GIXm12Ku7
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 983Please respect copyright.PENANAqYBWxeLufo
doing a pretty good with the moves too.983Please respect copyright.PENANAJOUYosHA8y
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.983Please respect copyright.PENANACzLaJd8wil
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.983Please respect copyright.PENANADMUejjcc30
"Whenever it came to the983Please respect copyright.PENANAGZx3SWkw1o
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 983Please respect copyright.PENANAxUzRG3sHfV
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."983Please respect copyright.PENANAJZeKCG5dSE
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."983Please respect copyright.PENANA4NQrscJNQW
"Thanks, guys," I said.983Please respect copyright.PENANA7A59amTzfr
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.983Please respect copyright.PENANAmeFQ1jlMzH
"Now, coming to my 983Please respect copyright.PENANABwAwtKETIo
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 983Please respect copyright.PENANAAQvoVTIFFN
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 983Please respect copyright.PENANAEfCSf6hbsi
think is a better dancer?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAMhycXCHUw2
"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."983Please respect copyright.PENANAif2TJvt0AH
"Why?" Zoey asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAxgrNYQMfoF
"I think you and I both 983Please respect copyright.PENANAGozurXU7zg
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 983Please respect copyright.PENANAfqJphf2o1Y
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 983Please respect copyright.PENANA2azw3LOWVP
That counts for something, right?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAOpUAy0LrxG
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."983Please respect copyright.PENANAQri2x9eibY
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."983Please respect copyright.PENANAno1cCtaU6q
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.983Please respect copyright.PENANAkpxfmWgdQ0
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAKpKr0YIUOA
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANALK8BvDPUhq
"Well, ya." Mike 983Please respect copyright.PENANAEQIl3uOsYa
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 983Please respect copyright.PENANA4DaugPUAeE
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 983Please respect copyright.PENANAsYcHMod14c
sentence as he looked at Zoey.983Please respect copyright.PENANAMYQTRxttdX
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."983Please respect copyright.PENANAssYXDdIYKX
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.983Please respect copyright.PENANANAPxIveKp9
"I also think it will be983Please respect copyright.PENANAq6eRWv6gYn
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 983Please respect copyright.PENANAWorIv0w1GX
obviously bring out a better opinion."983Please respect copyright.PENANA5tXV1iJwSj
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.983Please respect copyright.PENANAwILXlcSe18
"Count me out of it," I 983Please respect copyright.PENANA3kSmlsFpbT
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAc5bHhBnryh
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."983Please respect copyright.PENANAeP5o0bmwL2
"Fine, I'll create a 983Please respect copyright.PENANAkEAFfj61tn
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how983Please respect copyright.PENANAMmTtxsURDC
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though983Please respect copyright.PENANAgudWKYTwko
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."983Please respect copyright.PENANATVKqHAZoPi
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."983Please respect copyright.PENANAYKXhgFur45
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."983Please respect copyright.PENANAULC8wG8UHk
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.983Please respect copyright.PENANAxtZxyQThsr
Zoey and Mike soon got 983Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jj8baILxf
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 983Please respect copyright.PENANADl9acWHAO9
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 983Please respect copyright.PENANAoSEAcj2gUg
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance983Please respect copyright.PENANAvo4gkngHDx
battle.983Please respect copyright.PENANALzLrOzOiDW
I got my phone and the 983Please respect copyright.PENANADLLzbMMVGA
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAfdEYr6tB84
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.983Please respect copyright.PENANABuik5Grf5E
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.983Please respect copyright.PENANAO6zd1MStRo
I turned to look at him 983Please respect copyright.PENANAQgamsa7p9p
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 983Please respect copyright.PENANAF6Zjq8YO5H
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 983Please respect copyright.PENANAAjCwREnxod
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 983Please respect copyright.PENANAuR6hyXfq7J
smile if they were to look at him.983Please respect copyright.PENANA0vLIp0S3LW
"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."983Please respect copyright.PENANAvRkIzlKRez
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.983Please respect copyright.PENANAhAXU36yzlO
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."983Please respect copyright.PENANAsFBrSAn2Fj
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."983Please respect copyright.PENANANqsuWF3bER
"You're right about that."983Please respect copyright.PENANAgWx9mHYpGG
I looked behind me with a983Please respect copyright.PENANA9GaIL3F3NV
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 983Please respect copyright.PENANA0GYoFtDQed
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 983Please respect copyright.PENANAYOC7bLTZoG
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 983Please respect copyright.PENANA26jnlu9b4j
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.983Please respect copyright.PENANAqMmnkIfTi6
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 983Please respect copyright.PENANAxf4366aZLt
"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."983Please respect copyright.PENANAGMe1qCJZDD
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAQVZ8IbDmJg
"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."983Please respect copyright.PENANACvIQryahbM
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."983Please respect copyright.PENANA73gr8Ze5zl
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."983Please respect copyright.PENANAXyIMj8nQuz
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.983Please respect copyright.PENANAIAqBgAbQMm
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.983Please respect copyright.PENANA8WqG6A6eFU
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAFw0yG66saH
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."983Please respect copyright.PENANADzAgWWt4JM
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAgvVEqmDFBK
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."983Please respect copyright.PENANAMLPI5zUL9T
"I sure hope so," I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAvLIziOM27r
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 983Please respect copyright.PENANAxD9no4rv6b
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."983Please respect copyright.PENANAvlR3NTTZbV
"What about those two?" 983Please respect copyright.PENANAEJgMHt3Vf7
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 983Please respect copyright.PENANA4R3qKYJvRf
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 983Please respect copyright.PENANArkalFE5xgh
soon.983Please respect copyright.PENANAd6sCXmfklJ
"They will notice when 983Please respect copyright.PENANAFeNsFV47vI
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 983Please respect copyright.PENANAUq0e3YJzk5
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAITWsRLyl4r
"Sure," he said with a smile.983Please respect copyright.PENANA2THwUc7P55
Christine, Daniel and I 983Please respect copyright.PENANACSO0W4D8no
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 983Please respect copyright.PENANA9dBRO3dWRL
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.983Please respect copyright.PENANAMK8eh4uADx
Twenty minutes later, I 983Please respect copyright.PENANARx017xd21E
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 983Please respect copyright.PENANAvTNRlxFBEt
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 983Please respect copyright.PENANAp6e7tJqXKH
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 983Please respect copyright.PENANAiOSO2P0RVW
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 983Please respect copyright.PENANAOhdJITOIdX
in the shower room, still patching herself up.983Please respect copyright.PENANAUApQzPC42m
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.983Please respect copyright.PENANAiOIBI6M3Gm
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."983Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3rzdnSt92
"Why? Anything special?"983Please respect copyright.PENANA3fQsR42HJt
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.983Please respect copyright.PENANAqXLEiWWS0b
"Oh, nothing," I stared 983Please respect copyright.PENANA9j9ett7IKf
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAKoAT1PgiA4
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 983Please respect copyright.PENANAkucrcYjFM4
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."983Please respect copyright.PENANAoMzTQMomRe
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.983Please respect copyright.PENANAWyZsv2vNWz
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.983Please respect copyright.PENANAmSBYgUVcdL
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.983Please respect copyright.PENANATwqp3JRix9
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.983Please respect copyright.PENANAOHwxWzsDnZ
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."983Please respect copyright.PENANAnjNSkbu6r7
"What are you talking about?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAGiVo7Qko1E
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAhhTO48NwWE
Christine's mouth fell 983Please respect copyright.PENANAghtTrjO1b8
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 983Please respect copyright.PENANAzbbCCfCS2N
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.983Please respect copyright.PENANA6hmOXrmJNj
"No, I don't," she said.983Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZhB3vZguj
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAfS45zKpi3W
do like him but only as a fan girl."983Please respect copyright.PENANAEWpj4M4xAP
"Please, I saw the way 983Please respect copyright.PENANAOfq4V2a1CA
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that983Please respect copyright.PENANACV1sLJoft9
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."983Please respect copyright.PENANAyuhWy53bD5
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 983Please respect copyright.PENANAHYedlKC0s1
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of983Please respect copyright.PENANAlF9ZDb1BYC
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 983Please respect copyright.PENANAvmX2jQh1OO
more."983Please respect copyright.PENANAeykQeg5azl
"Ya, right," I said as I983Please respect copyright.PENANA5nXJBfGToV
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 983Please respect copyright.PENANAICN4t99q7z
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 983Please respect copyright.PENANApcwUMRurNp
weird look on your face."983Please respect copyright.PENANAtGZghPI4KX
"What weird look?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAig1HzoM1Jk
"The jealous one."983Please respect copyright.PENANAlxaGEtXQC4
"Spare me the drama, Sam."983Please respect copyright.PENANAJhsh8BaEea
"If Zoey was the one 983Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZClKse5gi
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 983Please respect copyright.PENANA4R534KW3yA
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 983Please respect copyright.PENANAd3a5OrzdH7
Jinwoo."983Please respect copyright.PENANAyZQViJT4eb
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.983Please respect copyright.PENANA0Bls0pvBGr
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAqWhaCYq2Xt
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."983Please respect copyright.PENANAjq6KZ4WVsE
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.983Please respect copyright.PENANAxVmUMS2og7
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.983Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6Oy8Xd9lY
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.983Please respect copyright.PENANACyx9iUHNuN
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.983Please respect copyright.PENANADDpvWwUKoQ
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.983Please respect copyright.PENANA7lWUWaUuXE
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAV3RSvL2Qkw
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.983Please respect copyright.PENANAPGLIWfHaXx
Mike gave Christine a 983Please respect copyright.PENANACQX7m9wHvE
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 983Please respect copyright.PENANArlmEbLGZTP
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't983Please respect copyright.PENANAaH7B0SBK58
wrong about that.983Please respect copyright.PENANAK6l7kVDnnV
We decided to go back to983Please respect copyright.PENANAaprDetFCoN
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 983Please respect copyright.PENANAiHOHCR3mjL
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,983Please respect copyright.PENANAayUeaVncNo
this happened:983Please respect copyright.PENANAUUXT9AXB2C
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.983Please respect copyright.PENANAFOdRJRF8bG
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.983Please respect copyright.PENANADLojGqJ4hW
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.983Please respect copyright.PENANA6RFwCDyESD
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."983Please respect copyright.PENANAUJwDeGQUOO
I wanted to frown at him983Please respect copyright.PENANA0DQstYw2HK
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 983Please respect copyright.PENANAug57OtR4qj
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.983Please respect copyright.PENANA0K7yeC2oQA
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.983Please respect copyright.PENANA45UIyjdMfP
I looked at Jinwoo and I983Please respect copyright.PENANAygrRlGmMzC
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 983Please respect copyright.PENANAdNcp1u3Ezs
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 983Please respect copyright.PENANAXrnsDFDwpx
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.983Please respect copyright.PENANAA5RNQwnjJP
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.983Please respect copyright.PENANAaF1C96VUmW
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAlUEet8AXhs
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.983Please respect copyright.PENANAndnUmyrezL
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."983Please respect copyright.PENANABhra3q0lup
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAUJtKoU7TcD
"Good idea. Let's go."983Please respect copyright.PENANAZNcsmCCXGL
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAiX5zZHUXg9
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.983Please respect copyright.PENANA1qPo50rQaT
Before he could say 983Please respect copyright.PENANAlB35UWJBwt
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I983Please respect copyright.PENANA1mczfH8trq
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped983Please respect copyright.PENANAV6j0nNU5z4
out of the room, he was snickering.983Please respect copyright.PENANAKHyd1R9dQN
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.983Please respect copyright.PENANAUKBEXQKxNy
"Just because I'm his 983Please respect copyright.PENANAPSOcri3N4f
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being983Please respect copyright.PENANAnwrsSGbG65
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"983Please respect copyright.PENANABk2brzwovn
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."983Please respect copyright.PENANAp7eyicF3dV
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAk5AVelaAkT
"Actually, it was only 983Please respect copyright.PENANABPS5foA6O9
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 983Please respect copyright.PENANAT2dAQU8JNQ
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."983Please respect copyright.PENANAIroPfbB0xk
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.983Please respect copyright.PENANAXsL0Z7lFd6
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.983Please respect copyright.PENANAzSmeq2pJru
When we got to the 983Please respect copyright.PENANAQELCbFR5t5
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 983Please respect copyright.PENANASrYARckVcA
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 983Please respect copyright.PENANAZX5NqsXWDF
inside the elevator.983Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9ZZr9kYuA
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.983Please respect copyright.PENANAhJa8xVfro2
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."983Please respect copyright.PENANAuijLiW0yMw
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.983Please respect copyright.PENANA5isY4k9Rrb
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.983Please respect copyright.PENANAQNcX0EEefr
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."983Please respect copyright.PENANAcD5sfTOlft
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.983Please respect copyright.PENANAEXPP1hbnIc
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAjNAW5ZadJq
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."983Please respect copyright.PENANAOtbe3ebX7o
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."983Please respect copyright.PENANAklqgIljbZ7
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."983Please respect copyright.PENANAfcM6nm4Xo4
"Well, if you're 983Please respect copyright.PENANA8RRqtY1hSe
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 983Please respect copyright.PENANAuizGKIlg2N
his face and I could tell something was up.983Please respect copyright.PENANAcrKv8SMFIt
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAM1WpCkdKsH
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."983Please respect copyright.PENANApZkVtfbiO4
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAK0C7rE7gug
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."983Please respect copyright.PENANAbBcJH95pYD
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.983Please respect copyright.PENANAgbYKFSCefq
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."983Please respect copyright.PENANAwCVb1f8aJR
"I came to see you guys 983Please respect copyright.PENANALCCoeojk8F
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 983Please respect copyright.PENANAQd4RPONM4i
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."983Please respect copyright.PENANAZooAyBRAcY
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."983Please respect copyright.PENANAtmtDelDwI6
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."983Please respect copyright.PENANAZjacj2DyPf
"Okay, then you go and 983Please respect copyright.PENANA5sEtBkt8M4
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino983Please respect copyright.PENANACYvi8DGIT8
to get Zoey as fast as we could."983Please respect copyright.PENANAKvN430rocX
"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.983Please respect copyright.PENANArJhV9uuvKh
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.983Please respect copyright.PENANAMZsmJGhLT8
We headed downstairs to 983Please respect copyright.PENANA9NFnkWyKSI
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 983Please respect copyright.PENANAmr0akoZIPS
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.983Please respect copyright.PENANALU3gD85g82
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"983Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ze38wbaRs
"Trying to look good," 983Please respect copyright.PENANANJjN4MQgPP
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 983Please respect copyright.PENANAcOipPOT2TZ
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 983Please respect copyright.PENANAJHTDL9XEu5
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."983Please respect copyright.PENANAsVyPFtSaO4
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.983Please respect copyright.PENANARqxCKUbxUY
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.983Please respect copyright.PENANAqFQFFALBrc
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."983Please respect copyright.PENANAyBXPa1Sa85
"You're kidding, right?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAodSk7Lj6Ke
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."983Please respect copyright.PENANADVCKA8Ve8r
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAxuvaDqAHTu
"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."983Please respect copyright.PENANAvUInenknV8
Just as I turned around 983Please respect copyright.PENANA82X7iTMTnv
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 983Please respect copyright.PENANAPrWFT6mYh5
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 983Please respect copyright.PENANAf3Rjd0RyBS
the the floor we were on.983Please respect copyright.PENANAuXtloKAGD5
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.983Please respect copyright.PENANABmvXkIohFr
Just as we turned round a983Please respect copyright.PENANARaJV9DShrm
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 983Please respect copyright.PENANAb9t9RY90pq
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAG2iSyvzKlr
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 983Please respect copyright.PENANAToJtBksEh8
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.983Please respect copyright.PENANAB9KT101D8b
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANASti7tVYm8A
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.983Please respect copyright.PENANA9GXCMqYbHD
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"983Please respect copyright.PENANA9YBvpyh9Mm
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."983Please respect copyright.PENANAdQMClqWjdz
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"983Please respect copyright.PENANATejsay28yX
I didn't say anything as983Please respect copyright.PENANAX2Qma7MB5N
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 983Please respect copyright.PENANA0IKMtOQWp0
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 983Please respect copyright.PENANAdWQ2SeaYRF
Hyun-suk's voice.983Please respect copyright.PENANARVVe6zwXSY
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.983Please respect copyright.PENANAzTkVOUhyR1
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.983Please respect copyright.PENANAS3zOi1TFVl
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.983Please respect copyright.PENANAAOcNKnAWp6
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.983Please respect copyright.PENANA3GDUlDRWIz
I checked around with my983Please respect copyright.PENANAsUSTBP3x1O
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 983Please respect copyright.PENANAEnjXWFsRHE
the light went on in the tiny room.983Please respect copyright.PENANAw4z7yNzZOr
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANALOX3vPY2oG
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.983Please respect copyright.PENANAc93sz777jL
I shook my head. "They are still there."983Please respect copyright.PENANAvOsuycGfr7
Mino and Zoey both 983Please respect copyright.PENANAzhZO5AYa4n
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 983Please respect copyright.PENANAFaoXXM5cGi
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAxqGuHPorpJ
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 983Please respect copyright.PENANAJtloT1hbpa
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 983Please respect copyright.PENANAeJeVoETejQ
behind me.983Please respect copyright.PENANAHmcF5X6NQ6
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.983Please respect copyright.PENANAiP9LCitMbR
"I think they are gone," I whispered.983Please respect copyright.PENANAmvqJ1EY22w
"Try and check," Mino whispered.983Please respect copyright.PENANA8hpEfcQnNV
I took hold of the door 983Please respect copyright.PENANAlllFHgMJba
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 983Please respect copyright.PENANAaECUc2eAx2
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of983Please respect copyright.PENANAEWuFLgLDmO
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.983Please respect copyright.PENANAY6A4hF5IjQ
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.983Please respect copyright.PENANA2GxWUXRQef
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.983Please respect copyright.PENANAn3BqKkGXEb
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.983Please respect copyright.PENANA9Nd9dKxVYb
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.983Please respect copyright.PENANAidBIWR6kGy
The three of us were 983Please respect copyright.PENANAenQRzdD4WZ
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 983Please respect copyright.PENANA27lcYnF2mE
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was983Please respect copyright.PENANAZyIH5Vi6ax
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 983Please respect copyright.PENANAiTylm3hdE8
heard the phone ring.983Please respect copyright.PENANAF07IqXYsZr
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.983Please respect copyright.PENANAINZrl5W6j9
I quickly took the bag 983Please respect copyright.PENANAMQc9ivNlmo
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 983Please respect copyright.PENANAsGJ7DvYaiQ
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 983Please respect copyright.PENANA0sQ4u7qJVA
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 983Please respect copyright.PENANAo67FhN0zMS
anything strange."983Please respect copyright.PENANAhEwBpDqacF
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANApucD1TeMHv
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."983Please respect copyright.PENANAzEdJaPZ9ye
Mino and Zoey quickly 983Please respect copyright.PENANAdnhAAptPrU
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 983Please respect copyright.PENANAbkNfbiZLYk
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 983Please respect copyright.PENANAAZRpBFBFyW
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 983Please respect copyright.PENANAffiGoHPJXx
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 983Please respect copyright.PENANAzUDSwiZhnv
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.983Please respect copyright.PENANA6TklXSk6No
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."983Please respect copyright.PENANAYECSpsS4au
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.983Please respect copyright.PENANAp5DMiyFN5C
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."983Please respect copyright.PENANACZgJcKGdim
I gave them a little 983Please respect copyright.PENANAA7o0aLXcct
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 983Please respect copyright.PENANAZYouu9f5g0
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 983Please respect copyright.PENANAmQCuReghHr
the place.983Please respect copyright.PENANATT8gZhAqB3
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAUzlbOXA7Oi
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.983Please respect copyright.PENANA9hoYU4LprA
"I must say, I watched 983Please respect copyright.PENANAK87cteVqKU
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 983Please respect copyright.PENANANCBBEhYbUE
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 983Please respect copyright.PENANA3HjDgICo3T
black suit.983Please respect copyright.PENANA6BqFzcuZos
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.983Please respect copyright.PENANAFYYciNn2Gg
"You really do have good manners," said other man.983Please respect copyright.PENANAUZHF7vC3Ui
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.983Please respect copyright.PENANAzS1A4nM0Fl
"I always do my best," I said politely.983Please respect copyright.PENANAkwAVyEKnBu
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.983Please respect copyright.PENANAw2BDwjg41p
I felt my eyes were 983Please respect copyright.PENANAscnmrRygwp
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 983Please respect copyright.PENANA4VXJ92V6MN
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 983Please respect copyright.PENANAMIX9NXZOvs
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 983Please respect copyright.PENANAPC259RQAmK
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.983Please respect copyright.PENANAd4HVnirLrL
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"983Please respect copyright.PENANAOtGq8E8hKV
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me983Please respect copyright.PENANAmhP08EI3oU
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 983Please respect copyright.PENANAtCjwcXliSt
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAyCtC2OrVYE
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.983Please respect copyright.PENANAcOEp7yyO1i
"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."983Please respect copyright.PENANAyH3KLHjJtU
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.983Please respect copyright.PENANAT9xKfUJ0lP
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.983Please respect copyright.PENANAhScAuXJBa0
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."983Please respect copyright.PENANANQMQdvDTwR
I smiled as I bowed my 983Please respect copyright.PENANAz6vWDFyUaB
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 983Please respect copyright.PENANAc1Vn6KJrhL
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 983Please respect copyright.PENANAGthZc6WsgB
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I983Please respect copyright.PENANA6B2oSCeLLe
was until now.983Please respect copyright.PENANAVgRKq8NHjL
I quickly ran to the 983Please respect copyright.PENANAhrCxEiV96j
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 983Please respect copyright.PENANA9C1NItvyrq
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 983Please respect copyright.PENANAWCwkyHNlFB
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 983Please respect copyright.PENANAKpOnLvHkIW
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 983Please respect copyright.PENANAYRDz1BkXa4
see.983Please respect copyright.PENANASA2jlPJLzI
"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.983Please respect copyright.PENANAIAsx1mC6iQ
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."983Please respect copyright.PENANAoyxDRCHWyC
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.983Please respect copyright.PENANA2PEWiTxjk1
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.983Please respect copyright.PENANA9gHeKOku3H
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.983Please respect copyright.PENANAsiM2rZWfvW
"Because I missed you."983Please respect copyright.PENANAYXQuazVAgw
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.983Please respect copyright.PENANAGfcQLX5WzS
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.983Please respect copyright.PENANANEE2WB6eCw
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.983Please respect copyright.PENANAL2dSjo0c2G
When we reached the 983Please respect copyright.PENANAOVqpSLj0dQ
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 983Please respect copyright.PENANAkO8NUxLh3M
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 983Please respect copyright.PENANAhyE6MqeVDZ
lobby.983Please respect copyright.PENANAMO5ENp7kYC
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.983Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6THC0MFPj
"I think I've an idea," I983Please respect copyright.PENANAOjRcydxP0s
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going983Please respect copyright.PENANADZGjeNmWsw
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 983Please respect copyright.PENANA8xpIz214Xe
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."983Please respect copyright.PENANAkLzkkpkAR2
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.983Please respect copyright.PENANAlCWKHH2TyF
I rolled my eyes. I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAcaq1Pu2Iyt
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself983Please respect copyright.PENANAsGYNWmV4he
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 983Please respect copyright.PENANAnB9jUOC3oa
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.983Please respect copyright.PENANAoIPmPHBgiS
"Because I'm smart 983Please respect copyright.PENANA2FLAhdF8st
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such983Please respect copyright.PENANAfj6ouNLOPF
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAKOtFSPctmK
Mino and TOP smiled at 983Please respect copyright.PENANALtazmWOqog
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 983Please respect copyright.PENANA4gvh9ha5GA
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 983Please respect copyright.PENANA6qzg1rr3pL
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.983Please respect copyright.PENANAXu2mwmW50d
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."983Please respect copyright.PENANAR4RiQQk89L
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAg0kqLaRnft
"If we don't take the 983Please respect copyright.PENANACvNTHTAUDJ
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 983Please respect copyright.PENANAb1kqXKBDYd
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."983Please respect copyright.PENANAlpXaJ1jpZf
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.983Please respect copyright.PENANA9d9rci5kjy
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.983Please respect copyright.PENANASv5SRKX08i
"You guys go right now 983Please respect copyright.PENANAjTrOeaPfjQ
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAJwuuTt7NpR
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."983Please respect copyright.PENANAidBWweFvkZ
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.983Please respect copyright.PENANAtL062e1YKc
"Because I need you around."983Please respect copyright.PENANAVO7OwOg3NZ
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.983Please respect copyright.PENANAqylMWsc7p9
Seungyoon and his group 983Please respect copyright.PENANAybW2jvJvaW
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 983Please respect copyright.PENANA5Sp3MWlqe5
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 983Please respect copyright.PENANARY1XVCQun2
for ten minutes.983Please respect copyright.PENANAZxdMKH9wf0
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAZCEs4N7TtK
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.983Please respect copyright.PENANALRCSaHd3kW
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.983Please respect copyright.PENANAnsl1E17UKL
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.983Please respect copyright.PENANAutkbH7bssY
"So if you guys are 983Please respect copyright.PENANAwu5Ku6yKqa
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 983Please respect copyright.PENANABHyeSopmXN
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAnhQiPrdRM2
"Why do you ask?" I asked.983Please respect copyright.PENANAmxtW6SYxtJ
"You guys can't just 983Please respect copyright.PENANAC1BFUUFRQy
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 983Please respect copyright.PENANAIeatmz7vvS
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 983Please respect copyright.PENANAVeufyBfz5W
managers will find out what's going on."983Please respect copyright.PENANAeIFJgf8LSB
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.983Please respect copyright.PENANAo3S3qaB6G5
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.983Please respect copyright.PENANABQ8I20L1Iz
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.983Please respect copyright.PENANA9n0X0ufrzX
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."983Please respect copyright.PENANA2W6fccooGk
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."983Please respect copyright.PENANAGhlwUkPh5V
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.983Please respect copyright.PENANAPZogRcE4wn
The others quickly 983Please respect copyright.PENANAXiNgXZQk8g
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 983Please respect copyright.PENANAo57fokUfkR
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 983Please respect copyright.PENANAsLOjeklbeL
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 983Please respect copyright.PENANAf9QF2ILqPH
worried that they might have hit their heads.983Please respect copyright.PENANAr4rc9I9azN
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.983Please respect copyright.PENANAHIPWztNqcs
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."983Please respect copyright.PENANAAzBWVk0K8l
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.983Please respect copyright.PENANAs7wAUzlhsE
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.983Please respect copyright.PENANA95oNEgytAW
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.983Please respect copyright.PENANArwAGeDojro
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"983Please respect copyright.PENANAXDN1eLzl2T
As soon as I turned 983Please respect copyright.PENANAuJBHjPbBYE
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the983Please respect copyright.PENANAxHIgHDtX96
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 983Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0P5teEUTd
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 983Please respect copyright.PENANANIHuWcSSsY
behind me paused ready for the worst.983Please respect copyright.PENANAmjhDhWsytb
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.983Please respect copyright.PENANAzqNZP0b6hx
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."983Please respect copyright.PENANAP0Sh6Jf5jS
"Well, this day just got983Please respect copyright.PENANA1y0KfcM8ZB
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about983Please respect copyright.PENANAqwmCi9m74N
it. I couldn't blame him for that.983Please respect copyright.PENANA6k8XfNQNWD
Coming out of the 983Please respect copyright.PENANABw7N8TCQFi
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 983Please respect copyright.PENANAtF1xqZUd0o
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 983Please respect copyright.PENANACQ2D9Zpql7
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.983Please respect copyright.PENANA23MvrlWgaj
I felt like I had stood 983Please respect copyright.PENANAWVIBwhAMhC
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged983Please respect copyright.PENANAn79xL5XptD
me on the shoulder to get my attention.983Please respect copyright.PENANAvGdsK1Mw1m
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.983Please respect copyright.PENANAVq4MCcWAww
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.983Please respect copyright.PENANAa31HqMQSdP
