“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.”371Please respect copyright.PENANArDXYZ4Nnkp

“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.”371Please respect copyright.PENANAkcYzJR0nJX
371Please respect copyright.PENANAwwryxTkpjb
371Please respect copyright.PENANABCaKtqp0ny
“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.371Please respect copyright.PENANA0uWVTfSm6Y
371Please respect copyright.PENANAUh0dlCHPfo
371Please respect copyright.PENANA0bThlyryRU

371Please respect copyright.PENANASHOJC06Wfm
371Please respect copyright.PENANA9TictxkVLJ
“Thank you, doctor,” said Lee as she stood up from the other couch she had been sitting on. “The other Toxins are fine. If you ask me, most of them are as tough as nails.”371Please respect copyright.PENANArMDY7opNHw

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.371Please respect copyright.PENANAVUjK8VY8Pp
371Please respect copyright.PENANAhgcvyZUh1V
371Please respect copyright.PENANA3GrACbJD6p
Lee and the doctor soon appeared in the hall, heading for the elevator and bypassing Zoey and Mike who said goodbye as Lee and the doctor entered the elevator. As soon as the doors closed, Daniel and I quietly ran out of the room, while Mike and Zoey also made their way back to the lounge.371Please respect copyright.PENANA8f0FhVIySF

371Please respect copyright.PENANA0hnGSRdzSX
371Please respect copyright.PENANAdZCwwpKzfr
“I know, you don’t have to explain yourselves. Johnny is going to be a problem for you now that he’s here. How did he find you guys, anyway? You didn’t post anything on social media about you going out for a movie, did you?”371Please respect copyright.PENANA6U0GPe6dqj
371Please respect copyright.PENANAI4UqwuNklK
371Please respect copyright.PENANAUmTvsIS8oT

371Please respect copyright.PENANAacWVz0pBzR
371Please respect copyright.PENANAi1hi70K4wV
“Tighten up security wherever you go,” Collins replied. “We don’t want people knowing much about Johnny at such a time, so we’ll have to keep this hidden from the fans as much as possible.”371Please respect copyright.PENANA9NkfngbgcX

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.371Please respect copyright.PENANA48cd6VXCyi

“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?”371Please respect copyright.PENANA2LtM7AnsGO
371Please respect copyright.PENANAfqh9DRplet
371Please respect copyright.PENANA44mVFSky6s
“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.371Please respect copyright.PENANAFKYQ0LBRj0

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.371Please respect copyright.PENANAuEfjIykvlH

“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.371Please respect copyright.PENANA6fSLW9vRet
371Please respect copyright.PENANAOGC8dDYRGC

371Please respect copyright.PENANAsyMU3DBKZK
371Please respect copyright.PENANAwgJ6ogHYDD

371Please respect copyright.PENANAYLEn6zttlv
371Please respect copyright.PENANAJlbgeiMGQ7

371Please respect copyright.PENANAZewjYjWSSA
371Please respect copyright.PENANAnTp38KFr3n
“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?”371Please respect copyright.PENANAdITLLcClJ6
371Please respect copyright.PENANAfqMSr6lc0L
371Please respect copyright.PENANA5AadUWsAJs
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.371Please respect copyright.PENANAqEnbXdogs1

371Please respect copyright.PENANAzBlotpnumz
371Please respect copyright.PENANAC0aEAB3XZJ

371Please respect copyright.PENANAsBrqTLYgEn
371Please respect copyright.PENANAMGPoKajOq0

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

371Please respect copyright.PENANAxXGjLNMENt
371Please respect copyright.PENANA6hzYmfpI4M

371Please respect copyright.PENANA8QGoDbJlm6

371Please respect copyright.PENANAHmIUqJKyJc
Lisa pulled out her phone from her fancy blue purse and called G-Dragon. She even made sure to put the phone on loud speaker for everyone to hear.371Please respect copyright.PENANAi9RY2udP7Y
371Please respect copyright.PENANAzj0cmf5RDV
371Please respect copyright.PENANA6J1jzEPf4V
His phone on the other end started to ring. We all waited in silence for what felt like a minute when Zoey said:371Please respect copyright.PENANAlH1VSqkv7F
371Please respect copyright.PENANAb1LjobBeAq
371Please respect copyright.PENANAriGV5y4i9i

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:371Please respect copyright.PENANAMFwu40mVgk
371Please respect copyright.PENANAdsYIgjtpoi
371Please respect copyright.PENANAG4DQhzyax9
"Wow, that's so typical of him. He even went to have fun with Johnny after the stunt he pulled?!"371Please respect copyright.PENANACqxuR9IscH
371Please respect copyright.PENANAAsRutRVkYR
371Please respect copyright.PENANAr1BdtJWO0N

371Please respect copyright.PENANARmHeSkZ8qJ
371Please respect copyright.PENANAnSVfSA0G9c

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.371Please respect copyright.PENANAEWyAeF9glb
371Please respect copyright.PENANAAHJAnu4H7r
371Please respect copyright.PENANAq5FVebQfJe
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.371Please respect copyright.PENANAgWJDI7VWkA
371Please respect copyright.PENANAqiewsq21Gi
371Please respect copyright.PENANAKKJ0zOantD
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.371Please respect copyright.PENANAGF6p5wQFRC
371Please respect copyright.PENANAepJGTCFkjB
371Please respect copyright.PENANASGNbIRQdwv
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.371Please respect copyright.PENANAnn4ROlAWH9
371Please respect copyright.PENANA7ltt2Qjm4B
371Please respect copyright.PENANAAzaMiGggrv
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."371Please respect copyright.PENANAVqBh1FqPlz
371Please respect copyright.PENANAzzk74l4FWc
371Please respect copyright.PENANAIfVt6lee1o
"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."371Please respect copyright.PENANAUmbHtZAMBM
371Please respect copyright.PENANAH2alkY3bZh
371Please respect copyright.PENANAFuzOihNXGn
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.371Please respect copyright.PENANA80ACoUq83h
371Please respect copyright.PENANAgpSRrr6gqJ
371Please respect copyright.PENANAgTnIeoEfH0
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.371Please respect copyright.PENANAuI73fpbxhD
371Please respect copyright.PENANAvRwxOPt6fN
371Please respect copyright.PENANAE2jtKW8KA1
"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?371Please respect copyright.PENANAY94b8Zref5
371Please respect copyright.PENANAvlZqtTYzZX
371Please respect copyright.PENANAYxusN9gxgf
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.371Please respect copyright.PENANA0i9Fva831U
371Please respect copyright.PENANAYst6ukzZKH
371Please respect copyright.PENANA7QFcIXegoF
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.371Please respect copyright.PENANAjIKYDpbjS8
371Please respect copyright.PENANAIu4LPw2nUb
371Please respect copyright.PENANAYmbnOrY0xI
"The song is going to be great, right?" Jisoo asked.371Please respect copyright.PENANAPOLnvgOmQE
371Please respect copyright.PENANA2QgT5u5SXW
371Please respect copyright.PENANATzeVIFsSut
"I just want to ask how you were able to come up with your amazing songs," said Mino.371Please respect copyright.PENANAdkUollArgc
371Please respect copyright.PENANAWo5pxTWkC3
371Please respect copyright.PENANAvsdeyXSPcF
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.371Please respect copyright.PENANAWwcDATJ6CS
371Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1H8yrGnzv
371Please respect copyright.PENANA5zrLdJpdEx
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.371Please respect copyright.PENANAe8xEjfXUJV
371Please respect copyright.PENANA9qDidtAocF
371Please respect copyright.PENANApWu4gKvqET
"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."371Please respect copyright.PENANAvQhYNMP0lP
371Please respect copyright.PENANADIcwDsSsSO
371Please respect copyright.PENANAu4W9lRYIw4
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.371Please respect copyright.PENANAkQRXOciBpy
371Please respect copyright.PENANA4UAsak0fhb
371Please respect copyright.PENANATf1vw7lQIb
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."371Please respect copyright.PENANAW4KIRCIOFm
371Please respect copyright.PENANAqk996XvJD0
371Please respect copyright.PENANAOKBkAO7Jj4
"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.371Please respect copyright.PENANA5H4pdemiCu
371Please respect copyright.PENANAppXYIA7ieQ
371Please respect copyright.PENANA42IvSKZGIb
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.371Please respect copyright.PENANA6RmkzpFqhM
371Please respect copyright.PENANAMB09oSYEUW
371Please respect copyright.PENANACovSBoDR7F
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."371Please respect copyright.PENANAOvjvagN8my
371Please respect copyright.PENANA6zFZ4KzNtz
371Please respect copyright.PENANAWouPd7ETDN
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.371Please respect copyright.PENANAdYBfpEzwus
371Please respect copyright.PENANADrfeYDdzoA
371Please respect copyright.PENANAHH1pJmwYqD
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.371Please respect copyright.PENANAbDLb9T8vsf
371Please respect copyright.PENANAE3DWb9klLq
371Please respect copyright.PENANA8bvaw86wYr
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.371Please respect copyright.PENANAMwiU3m8zWs
371Please respect copyright.PENANAoq59Nf1Iri
371Please respect copyright.PENANAh0yk9PKGGU
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."371Please respect copyright.PENANAxaJRkYi5DM
371Please respect copyright.PENANA8fDflwVpv0
371Please respect copyright.PENANAROU81zUzkW
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."371Please respect copyright.PENANAXJu6HLfOi9
371Please respect copyright.PENANA3kMpmhncZz
371Please respect copyright.PENANArYNwrEEowE
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.371Please respect copyright.PENANA4En433wOp6
371Please respect copyright.PENANAd0gFjWy7BU
371Please respect copyright.PENANAdjIUWiPqpS
"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."371Please respect copyright.PENANAvaEzcghlEq
371Please respect copyright.PENANAE6lngKT5Wj
371Please respect copyright.PENANAnqvHOMZ1sF
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.371Please respect copyright.PENANAO08CAgXXDd
371Please respect copyright.PENANAd6bny57dUs
371Please respect copyright.PENANAvA5sgxQDpI
"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.371Please respect copyright.PENANA697qxRPMxK
371Please respect copyright.PENANALqF2VSB0aj
371Please respect copyright.PENANAI1wHYbiS7z
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.371Please respect copyright.PENANAmNrIlUpAVS
371Please respect copyright.PENANAMkIcCvurVA
371Please respect copyright.PENANAy0uIJaTf69
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.371Please respect copyright.PENANAftpgYtEJfa
371Please respect copyright.PENANAA45UbtJXRo
371Please respect copyright.PENANAnEubPGeTTx
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"371Please respect copyright.PENANA6JzgQ8mh3a
371Please respect copyright.PENANAZhdBbVHstq
371Please respect copyright.PENANAh102PECcqU
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.371Please respect copyright.PENANAUdu5kVZiNb
371Please respect copyright.PENANAryYZcPQOo6
371Please respect copyright.PENANAs629RC4IIC
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.371Please respect copyright.PENANAhYfvlVnPAR
371Please respect copyright.PENANAH4ISEouPAB
371Please respect copyright.PENANAFmkmOqcy1v
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:371Please respect copyright.PENANAX6b507cPoM
371Please respect copyright.PENANAtKW6AU0Nqz
371Please respect copyright.PENANAmVhMMZeuW0
"Yes, I do."371Please respect copyright.PENANAoivQ5jQFyU
371Please respect copyright.PENANAF7yLSyrFPl
371Please respect copyright.PENANA3qudykU2FI
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.371Please respect copyright.PENANAdxfkPZ91n6
371Please respect copyright.PENANAWltyfJ91dA
371Please respect copyright.PENANAMoPj2LqpHe
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.371Please respect copyright.PENANAvRLGMkWQpw
371Please respect copyright.PENANAShVIf4lAp7
371Please respect copyright.PENANAOSAHmknbG3
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.371Please respect copyright.PENANAzzojDNd3wb
371Please respect copyright.PENANAL15AhKJh35
371Please respect copyright.PENANA1u6vWctbJy
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
