Meeting WINNER the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAiaj3EaDKu4
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 989Please respect copyright.PENANAMOURAnK8F4
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 989Please respect copyright.PENANAXGF0kfHkwG
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 989Please respect copyright.PENANAjtMr2stpvu
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 989Please respect copyright.PENANAMhibbHhTLz
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.989Please respect copyright.PENANAwwPngqmlmG
With the little time we 989Please respect copyright.PENANArY4eIdUKWZ
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again989Please respect copyright.PENANAAvYn6BsfCO
as we all got to know each other.989Please respect copyright.PENANAo2qsd63UVk
Seungyoon, the leader 989Please respect copyright.PENANAVzHZ6fiMZp
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 989Please respect copyright.PENANAodxashtVlb
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a989Please respect copyright.PENANAWBWb2DM53h
fun and nice person to be around with.989Please respect copyright.PENANAqp8I3mMobP
Then there is Mino, who 989Please respect copyright.PENANAz3xHNCb4gG
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for989Please respect copyright.PENANARnkp0nmAsA
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 989Please respect copyright.PENANA1bweLAnDLo
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.989Please respect copyright.PENANAJmw4qCaCPM
As for Jinwoo and 989Please respect copyright.PENANAO6DkudIv3U
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.989Please respect copyright.PENANAkOKWEIcamk
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 989Please respect copyright.PENANATzZycqoad5
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 989Please respect copyright.PENANABMBNKFvWCY
in Korea.989Please respect copyright.PENANAapHUYIQQJp
As for Seunghoon, I 989Please respect copyright.PENANA260W1b9Ude
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking989Please respect copyright.PENANAblNbx2qXZi
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 989Please respect copyright.PENANAUJeLdkJ1xj
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.989Please respect copyright.PENANA6qPYHwgxLE
Before they left, we 989Please respect copyright.PENANAqy8doRnMFx
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 989Please respect copyright.PENANARbGnjMb4Wt
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 989Please respect copyright.PENANAb0f1iv5DOX
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 989Please respect copyright.PENANApWYgRc82r4
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done989Please respect copyright.PENANAfNWxrW8H4k
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 989Please respect copyright.PENANAKftSup8tOp
place?989Please respect copyright.PENANAJgQO8EcCGS
I already had that part 989Please respect copyright.PENANAFTXAbcuKzt
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 989Please respect copyright.PENANAzNUwEy6PoT
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 989Please respect copyright.PENANAewmR3C4lRF
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ1IWYYNVS
wouldn't have to break a sweat.989Please respect copyright.PENANAM612SVaMZl
Right now, this very 989Please respect copyright.PENANA99AIP2P5i8
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 989Please respect copyright.PENANA9rxjNfYIIV
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 989Please respect copyright.PENANAZYgMb7siXy
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee989Please respect copyright.PENANAsM1NAkKMc4
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 989Please respect copyright.PENANAEAkiU7LYdA
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 989Please respect copyright.PENANAbNwTjSKydo
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.989Please respect copyright.PENANAnWIGHOkbcN
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.989Please respect copyright.PENANAdcEyBgQ6ye
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAQEn6XjMB8b
"I'm tired of sleeping,"989Please respect copyright.PENANAhTNsVeVsN8
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 989Please respect copyright.PENANAiFbl6gvYfx
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 989Please respect copyright.PENANAIfRc1QZMU0
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.989Please respect copyright.PENANAN2hJkjcwPu
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.989Please respect copyright.PENANANO0YHaUbxN
"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."989Please respect copyright.PENANAOESDuDDUtZ
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.989Please respect copyright.PENANA2jVoxw40B4
"You know, going for 989Please respect copyright.PENANAmdDFh9S2Tv
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAFnGY7Dn1Un
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 989Please respect copyright.PENANAVr56E4eZuA
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 989Please respect copyright.PENANAY9wwdCWt91
we try to do what we're familiar with."989Please respect copyright.PENANAqPW8zNtQGO
"Mmmm, I guess you're 989Please respect copyright.PENANAPRoIpEaKbl
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 989Please respect copyright.PENANAiFDPSpjBe0
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 989Please respect copyright.PENANAFJiC2JVGBC
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."989Please respect copyright.PENANAOXqLsMSlEc
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.989Please respect copyright.PENANAeCE70aczpM
"Yep," Collins nodded 989Please respect copyright.PENANAt0ZmLuEA1w
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 989Please respect copyright.PENANAyywLEsYLp9
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 989Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ot3PhPuaF
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 989Please respect copyright.PENANAdfQ31ulx1v
good now, will it?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAWjs6dOA7bW
Wow. This was literally 989Please respect copyright.PENANAAo6IiSCmPl
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 989Please respect copyright.PENANAtSWZtKFDcu
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.989Please respect copyright.PENANAy97VX9X5Kt
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.989Please respect copyright.PENANAs3lzVDShLX
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.989Please respect copyright.PENANA48cZ4o9iui
I left the lounge at a 989Please respect copyright.PENANAPpm8NffyS5
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 989Please respect copyright.PENANAZMcuiKgrj3
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door989Please respect copyright.PENANAW9YvJ2eFk8
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.989Please respect copyright.PENANAQmJCzW7GML
Zoey sat up with a start989Please respect copyright.PENANAn7dqg7pBGN
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 989Please respect copyright.PENANAsa8IVn2Q5U
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.989Please respect copyright.PENANAkIfHlmiMn5
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAXQniPr6Krb
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.989Please respect copyright.PENANAPP91WjNpCh
At first she didn't say a989Please respect copyright.PENANAxwYEIVIWza
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 989Please respect copyright.PENANATAZDaXctfh
looking at me with her eyes wide open.989Please respect copyright.PENANALQ6agJsUGK
"What did you say?" she asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANABemNp4qslO
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.989Please respect copyright.PENANA5WHWhuqXkV
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAHgReGrHcpY
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."989Please respect copyright.PENANAteo96oCRye
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAueHBJdr26w
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."989Please respect copyright.PENANAIrNZOuXYsk
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."989Please respect copyright.PENANAbPJZOh2Igr
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.989Please respect copyright.PENANAId3SYx229D
I went to wake up 989Please respect copyright.PENANAJPE7OUQufZ
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I989Please respect copyright.PENANAuRqh9fcOa3
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.989Please respect copyright.PENANAAzPUnb4ZVR
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAWYUKUna8qa
"I gave a reasonable 989Please respect copyright.PENANAh65hnxJTiF
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 989Please respect copyright.PENANAP74cQJyJZV
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"989Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZlkxnqZVH
I noticed Christine 989Please respect copyright.PENANAufXsFVcqVA
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly989Please respect copyright.PENANAmfOCQcS4yL
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 989Please respect copyright.PENANAyP5WjkhTmZ
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 989Please respect copyright.PENANA8iSaOZ4ONQ
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.989Please respect copyright.PENANA7x714dpUnI
When we all had our bags989Please respect copyright.PENANADeU3Yvhpjm
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 989Please respect copyright.PENANApy7iZCYvsW
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 989Please respect copyright.PENANAFt6zI2E6bN
looked at us.989Please respect copyright.PENANAEvyd7OkLui
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.989Please respect copyright.PENANAmSYDQXast2
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."989Please respect copyright.PENANA0tEk2mLk2R
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.989Please respect copyright.PENANAomuSkTWsMf
"I hate when you use my 989Please respect copyright.PENANAQE9Yu7QB5p
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 989Please respect copyright.PENANAyvnP2MtCwK
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."989Please respect copyright.PENANAQkS2qrT157
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."989Please respect copyright.PENANAAD8UV4sKoK
Collins rolled his eyes 989Please respect copyright.PENANAOEvMYVXeqq
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 989Please respect copyright.PENANAjvpwfCowhN
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."989Please respect copyright.PENANAMttAGkr2QR
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAAI6Xx43csY
"I would really love to,989Please respect copyright.PENANAgvoKOifLK7
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass989Please respect copyright.PENANAqq6rqLJRHq
by at lunchtime to check on you."989Please respect copyright.PENANASGSAF1U7MF
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.989Please respect copyright.PENANA0ergUiTX8b
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.989Please respect copyright.PENANACRuZD9jVyO
"Nothing," said Christine.989Please respect copyright.PENANAhOSpDKGDQq
I noticed Mike give 989Please respect copyright.PENANAyoOn9G9RNP
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut989Please respect copyright.PENANAbirsmVwSUv
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 989Please respect copyright.PENANA46FMwwWCWJ
going on.989Please respect copyright.PENANAFm5JBdPHgL
"It's just about the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAq9ip8yZFFS
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 989Please respect copyright.PENANAt68QP6xFfh
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 989Please respect copyright.PENANA8UUo6VgTHC
happened."989Please respect copyright.PENANAnSQ4cRDwZb
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."989Please respect copyright.PENANAkFV7uZCl5O
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."989Please respect copyright.PENANARHOjWVRCKx
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.989Please respect copyright.PENANAN17i37x0Ge
When we arrived at YG, 989Please respect copyright.PENANAtED4dBYP7U
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 989Please respect copyright.PENANAp1MePwNoHP
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.989Please respect copyright.PENANAe1rItKqDPj
"I already informed the 989Please respect copyright.PENANANX2am57b8b
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 989Please respect copyright.PENANAe9IGABJLSg
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAUuZ6WVrgtD
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."989Please respect copyright.PENANARBgqdWTFb8
"I know you will. See you later."989Please respect copyright.PENANAGUvm5YJL4D
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.989Please respect copyright.PENANANCQfmeLz0I
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.989Please respect copyright.PENANAdk7j2fpdLC
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.989Please respect copyright.PENANAtsK8Z02I03
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.989Please respect copyright.PENANAUggVdUzTHb
"Careful, Zoey," I said 989Please respect copyright.PENANAi0W50v3WB7
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 989Please respect copyright.PENANAqJwpaQFoeg
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."989Please respect copyright.PENANA9mMSi9utGT
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.989Please respect copyright.PENANAQisJ2rzhFZ
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAx11srbKivb
"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.989Please respect copyright.PENANAwJOFJigioJ
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.989Please respect copyright.PENANANS5yiGXVVt
"No," I said as the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAvhMCnDXMlZ
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 989Please respect copyright.PENANAUcxSxubP2G
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 989Please respect copyright.PENANAlS0WpuPNFc
studios.989Please respect copyright.PENANA06pftyq9gy
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.989Please respect copyright.PENANADzMcxn5YFg
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."989Please respect copyright.PENANAu68dwZz8ZP
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."989Please respect copyright.PENANAN9uqyevht4
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.989Please respect copyright.PENANAaSORdonmpp
"That's different."989Please respect copyright.PENANAPfyM1mRgwg
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."989Please respect copyright.PENANAJRspPgklJy
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAJa057EeC1t
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."989Please respect copyright.PENANA8pljCPwC46
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.989Please respect copyright.PENANAzk13J4mCWV
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.989Please respect copyright.PENANA5QRlI9advy
It was so much fun 989Please respect copyright.PENANAhR4hxYLxXo
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 989Please respect copyright.PENANANgH5VwH46P
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 989Please respect copyright.PENANAc1HSgqfksw
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.989Please respect copyright.PENANAn7Nw8WE1r6
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.989Please respect copyright.PENANA1i46jeDHgI
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.989Please respect copyright.PENANABsQHDO8HCj
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."989Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9Tq5GHF6I
"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."989Please respect copyright.PENANAqsjLzXEbP0
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAIyA0JEAf9k
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.989Please respect copyright.PENANA1NGjO1jOc3
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.989Please respect copyright.PENANAKLtyyEbpRB
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."989Please respect copyright.PENANApHUN8y9vs1
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."989Please respect copyright.PENANAOHdNN14w7H
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."989Please respect copyright.PENANA1mPNMcSwSE
"Come on, Zoey," I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAfNQOysdo3B
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 989Please respect copyright.PENANAaa1NfgsHp9
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."989Please respect copyright.PENANAuitjQMqre1
"What song?"989Please respect copyright.PENANABB2pKqwLZm
I didn't answer when I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAIXHR8ovz2y
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 989Please respect copyright.PENANA74C45usi5J
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAz0iBMrjBE5
pill soon started to play.989Please respect copyright.PENANAV7aWLibDA7
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.989Please respect copyright.PENANAI8VlpFnBhZ
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.989Please respect copyright.PENANAronqUkSjNU
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.989Please respect copyright.PENANA9FurYQHiDH
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.989Please respect copyright.PENANALH1vmHDxjG
It's been a while since I989Please respect copyright.PENANAh397mNLBmD
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 989Please respect copyright.PENANApIDrufIzpe
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 989Please respect copyright.PENANAlBdowDQjFK
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.989Please respect copyright.PENANAlnKsblVIv1
At the end of it, the 989Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bo0KYhsQo
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 989Please respect copyright.PENANABjruPJzJ5E
our moves synchronising with one another.989Please respect copyright.PENANA0uUFnKYwPK
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.989Please respect copyright.PENANAWGKEx8mpkq
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."989Please respect copyright.PENANA9IDNMfN0gm
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.989Please respect copyright.PENANAjZgeaUSA9S
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.989Please respect copyright.PENANAXfoweUMKI5
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAYeJEkR7LUv
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."989Please respect copyright.PENANADUDRypRTmY
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."989Please respect copyright.PENANAUdzoACqkps
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.989Please respect copyright.PENANAI04oDdbtdV
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.989Please respect copyright.PENANAn1jC6xxu4I
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAQY5MbGCqzF
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.989Please respect copyright.PENANAfzHkF6rIE1
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAZwe1Y7Ye69
Mino and Seunghoon both 989Please respect copyright.PENANAOpOfZZ1AfH
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 989Please respect copyright.PENANA7Qqc4xLVG8
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.989Please respect copyright.PENANAGnfjM6zzJy
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.989Please respect copyright.PENANAn73x7Ykj8G
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.989Please respect copyright.PENANA2qHtNO5v4Q
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."989Please respect copyright.PENANAjNGnXCEiob
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.989Please respect copyright.PENANAL1hRoAH0F4
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAW1AtQD8cVE
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 989Please respect copyright.PENANAPZARerhkWh
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."989Please respect copyright.PENANAUJZG2RJDjV
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.989Please respect copyright.PENANAGOnJ8CjFWP
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.989Please respect copyright.PENANADmh3PuozAQ
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAcCmm74gAR9
I nudged my head to the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAit3eYPBwkz
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 989Please respect copyright.PENANAvd34TydTQT
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the989Please respect copyright.PENANAeePl4coY0J
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.989Please respect copyright.PENANASf34ubPnRN
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.989Please respect copyright.PENANA7FX399Zc5p
Seunghoon lips were 989Please respect copyright.PENANA2OI19jHtwU
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was989Please respect copyright.PENANAkm06tKSvu3
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose989Please respect copyright.PENANAtRa1wOVOhY
focus.989Please respect copyright.PENANAozMIjXBJny
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.989Please respect copyright.PENANAxz7y9ewdEb
"The others might, but I989Please respect copyright.PENANAh3429qgLZo
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going989Please respect copyright.PENANAfkYELdH4W2
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 989Please respect copyright.PENANAh5Dejz8ICb
when TOP came to pick me up?"989Please respect copyright.PENANArIk3IoVBhx
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."989Please respect copyright.PENANAUEYdP00ICp
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAKoSO3lAC9m
He again took a step closer. "Yes."989Please respect copyright.PENANAMYlH2XL6Cr
Well, that made sense 989Please respect copyright.PENANArgrJ0knDbU
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 989Please respect copyright.PENANAu0bW0SiQUO
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 989Please respect copyright.PENANAvZaculotuX
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 989Please respect copyright.PENANAsnC631Y8c1
seen.989Please respect copyright.PENANAGNcKGGTAhj
I hadn't realised it 989Please respect copyright.PENANAJUg44JZhnp
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking989Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZlXJRdb7A
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 989Please respect copyright.PENANAJDSpT76Ew7
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 989Please respect copyright.PENANAoWi4X8ZMc3
uncomfortable.989Please respect copyright.PENANAPiRd5YqoeI
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.989Please respect copyright.PENANA9xwSInjIFg
"Well, yes," he 989Please respect copyright.PENANAfAEz9yrqdm
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 989Please respect copyright.PENANAlfXmOPCQOk
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."989Please respect copyright.PENANACsWU97XFOY
"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."989Please respect copyright.PENANAT3gZUsTwi3
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.989Please respect copyright.PENANAlmjfnQKCUn
I blushed and I was a 989Please respect copyright.PENANAXcYG8FZRAF
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 989Please respect copyright.PENANAXeqx88k12M
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 989Please respect copyright.PENANASMufO1Ifhv
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 989Please respect copyright.PENANAcb4zr1Qmyd
celebrities.989Please respect copyright.PENANAIKq9mGxRZE
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"989Please respect copyright.PENANA0RSkvxxTSK
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.989Please respect copyright.PENANAyYZupgZLXS
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."989Please respect copyright.PENANAlM0ft5kTNX
"No, they don't," I lied989Please respect copyright.PENANAX8DMbCi1AB
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 989Please respect copyright.PENANAtBnFFS6eUw
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAXEIXoZQfv1
others had arrived.989Please respect copyright.PENANAsy9bh60nQ0
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.989Please respect copyright.PENANA08rUVsZUQr
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.989Please respect copyright.PENANA9iTGRmdCCl
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.989Please respect copyright.PENANAcBZJjHy6Ts
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAcZfRpzvh66
"Awesome," I replied.989Please respect copyright.PENANAR058TAjNI5
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.989Please respect copyright.PENANAY7GuiuOO5O
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.989Please respect copyright.PENANAetMyAziBOX
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.989Please respect copyright.PENANA2584eV96in
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.989Please respect copyright.PENANAlcI29TrpVW
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.989Please respect copyright.PENANAfEyQGjUYfC
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.989Please respect copyright.PENANAEWhBTrOiQW
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."989Please respect copyright.PENANA7YovqK7cLA
"And besides, you and I 989Please respect copyright.PENANACwDFue1QM1
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 989Please respect copyright.PENANArVXAohY3u9
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 989Please respect copyright.PENANAu12Hp5FUz4
and Seunghoon showed up."989Please respect copyright.PENANANWGaXFEs9M
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.989Please respect copyright.PENANAnQSp9o1tFq
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.989Please respect copyright.PENANAA0A2OlvBQy
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."989Please respect copyright.PENANA05On48XmKm
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.989Please respect copyright.PENANAuki20mw50d
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.989Please respect copyright.PENANAluigldf6D3
Apparently, he wasn't 989Please respect copyright.PENANA132AblYAhx
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all989Please respect copyright.PENANAa1PYgkbthZ
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that989Please respect copyright.PENANAJOSzLyPkvi
just made him look even more adorable.989Please respect copyright.PENANAA5MaE262ZA
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.989Please respect copyright.PENANAxnWzJqdFjD
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."989Please respect copyright.PENANAyDjIuqrhc4
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.989Please respect copyright.PENANANeWapSWusv
"Yes!" I heard the four 989Please respect copyright.PENANAgOzaJfocn3
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 989Please respect copyright.PENANAU13gXJO4gq
at the track list. Then, something came to me.989Please respect copyright.PENANAkBsMWvO1qr
"Change of plans, Zoey,"989Please respect copyright.PENANAdBDydTnLj0
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want989Please respect copyright.PENANAYozQwYF4U3
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."989Please respect copyright.PENANA1WhIcOqUBf
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."989Please respect copyright.PENANAoFEn7SpFjz
"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."989Please respect copyright.PENANA23WGlWaBz4
"This just got interesting," said Mino.989Please respect copyright.PENANABmB4LlBd01
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAoWYrNusSLU
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."989Please respect copyright.PENANAowlQTXQ1w8
"Taeyang is going to 989Please respect copyright.PENANAdn4pjhYFgU
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 989Please respect copyright.PENANA025y6Zf5yr
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."989Please respect copyright.PENANAxLHY3yevnh
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."989Please respect copyright.PENANAFtHJhhbifS
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.989Please respect copyright.PENANAAKpH2MdNhR
I tapped the track on my989Please respect copyright.PENANAHfQ8wLL551
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 989Please respect copyright.PENANAk1XXwHuQv8
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.989Please respect copyright.PENANATe6gLF5cPD
When the song started, I989Please respect copyright.PENANAxi1oEOMaDK
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 989Please respect copyright.PENANANoSbhjSBXq
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 989Please respect copyright.PENANAtlO8cjiYDt
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAfZB2MWpegO
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to989Please respect copyright.PENANA4MQs1jBOUx
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 989Please respect copyright.PENANAoyuyJid6tx
doing a pretty good with the moves too.989Please respect copyright.PENANAbNLj0GEFHO
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.989Please respect copyright.PENANA3csk1YhvCs
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.989Please respect copyright.PENANA62kIi6E0gv
"Whenever it came to the989Please respect copyright.PENANAHY5MpCx3z8
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 989Please respect copyright.PENANADjD8YHlo2l
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."989Please respect copyright.PENANA2Sj3NFFLum
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."989Please respect copyright.PENANA7hOBMVBvhc
"Thanks, guys," I said.989Please respect copyright.PENANAjjSJBZpKA4
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.989Please respect copyright.PENANAMI5tYuE1GN
"Now, coming to my 989Please respect copyright.PENANAM08EwuUGj8
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 989Please respect copyright.PENANABjNggrOgYf
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 989Please respect copyright.PENANA30ZQafaZpi
think is a better dancer?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAc65BpSEY3Q
"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."989Please respect copyright.PENANAeZe4X1C9Bx
"Why?" Zoey asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAxvSDGo0BoB
"I think you and I both 989Please respect copyright.PENANAPR5cCrZ2XE
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 989Please respect copyright.PENANAcIZeWjVJZW
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 989Please respect copyright.PENANAhLXqw38ytW
That counts for something, right?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAg8SF0qmSUv
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."989Please respect copyright.PENANAb1Z2P2mdNd
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."989Please respect copyright.PENANAiYgrzbZbMQ
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.989Please respect copyright.PENANAbDNDE5s9Kp
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAyvpkouRJoX
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAI7lLBoEmSm
"Well, ya." Mike 989Please respect copyright.PENANAMMoENUbEaK
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 989Please respect copyright.PENANAAoCaKQT2ae
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 989Please respect copyright.PENANA7WepfbqPf3
sentence as he looked at Zoey.989Please respect copyright.PENANA8KMOufaS9V
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."989Please respect copyright.PENANAbp4Hw1pWE5
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.989Please respect copyright.PENANANg3Tlud0mt
"I also think it will be989Please respect copyright.PENANAfZ5LnlzB1O
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 989Please respect copyright.PENANAgvxcYVYJqq
obviously bring out a better opinion."989Please respect copyright.PENANAIkJabUeXij
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.989Please respect copyright.PENANAhsTpNlQMKz
"Count me out of it," I 989Please respect copyright.PENANADgLPDhIzaR
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAvTcYFu8fhY
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."989Please respect copyright.PENANA9wqiTmeuAr
"Fine, I'll create a 989Please respect copyright.PENANAHtzjHqkyHN
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how989Please respect copyright.PENANAgBr9BkNlC2
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though989Please respect copyright.PENANAEHQjM9W3xP
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."989Please respect copyright.PENANA7HRL70RImI
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."989Please respect copyright.PENANA5ofzLp2Lga
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."989Please respect copyright.PENANAtsF7GWRI3X
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.989Please respect copyright.PENANAcksOnLgzDM
Zoey and Mike soon got 989Please respect copyright.PENANAYzMIfgwBLi
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 989Please respect copyright.PENANAPmUkgLIShU
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 989Please respect copyright.PENANAdvkWXJGXsl
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance989Please respect copyright.PENANARirQRhGUFQ
battle.989Please respect copyright.PENANASELUPTDRhU
I got my phone and the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAHXsnVmHuge
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 989Please respect copyright.PENANA2B3oz6J5l9
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.989Please respect copyright.PENANAlnmjsQNCHO
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.989Please respect copyright.PENANAaeaCV6XTpZ
I turned to look at him 989Please respect copyright.PENANA49rXpJ9HXt
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 989Please respect copyright.PENANA16cfx5tgFZ
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 989Please respect copyright.PENANAJfz444wJJe
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 989Please respect copyright.PENANA21F1bdScnF
smile if they were to look at him.989Please respect copyright.PENANAkIX7FHom7i
"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."989Please respect copyright.PENANAD6OqAbHhg6
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.989Please respect copyright.PENANAtvZqSv7sjJ
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."989Please respect copyright.PENANAK1z5m6CC5T
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."989Please respect copyright.PENANAvScqADwJB1
"You're right about that."989Please respect copyright.PENANA8nneawTB1G
I looked behind me with a989Please respect copyright.PENANACrhpZ9FNzh
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 989Please respect copyright.PENANApgQwKif60C
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 989Please respect copyright.PENANABFdisoiVhc
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 989Please respect copyright.PENANA2GmRqljoxB
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.989Please respect copyright.PENANAlsQgVfAlHX
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 989Please respect copyright.PENANAlTuzz4vZwJ
"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."989Please respect copyright.PENANA2W6YdvDUXN
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAsFiqqeGtHk
"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."989Please respect copyright.PENANAppiShI6MPX
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."989Please respect copyright.PENANAC4IeedSUvF
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."989Please respect copyright.PENANAMMW5Z36LLJ
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.989Please respect copyright.PENANAl2XpyJ6hvr
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.989Please respect copyright.PENANAj7GUAdyH9H
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAtwYKO2T7Hu
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."989Please respect copyright.PENANAN0yR704rhu
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAYIToCtrdMq
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."989Please respect copyright.PENANAk8Ust58pXz
"I sure hope so," I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAlIO5SJZtid
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAm6DrYGzHJF
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."989Please respect copyright.PENANA97xirP8QyN
"What about those two?" 989Please respect copyright.PENANAoW6Nhc7dR2
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 989Please respect copyright.PENANALTFxyTNuNL
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 989Please respect copyright.PENANAEt9eHAlCGq
soon.989Please respect copyright.PENANALkYfmc2l8Q
"They will notice when 989Please respect copyright.PENANANfhgQd7LQd
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 989Please respect copyright.PENANANYoQm90xI8
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAemDvsk1CaI
"Sure," he said with a smile.989Please respect copyright.PENANAxGHPJJPIrl
Christine, Daniel and I 989Please respect copyright.PENANA3dCgZdtIPg
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 989Please respect copyright.PENANAC84n4Mdl7s
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.989Please respect copyright.PENANAqnhT0ex484
Twenty minutes later, I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAyTCAFEyXWa
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 989Please respect copyright.PENANADrQiQvHRsh
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 989Please respect copyright.PENANAfTv2coWkZD
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 989Please respect copyright.PENANAhdumjM3IwY
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 989Please respect copyright.PENANAW1mWX7Q2jm
in the shower room, still patching herself up.989Please respect copyright.PENANAKrcx2w7v95
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.989Please respect copyright.PENANAxAyUJTN2Mn
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."989Please respect copyright.PENANAaszJoISToj
"Why? Anything special?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ9su0f6FA
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.989Please respect copyright.PENANA2H0tOXzfjk
"Oh, nothing," I stared 989Please respect copyright.PENANASsX9z8A1x5
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAbjv3icRHqs
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 989Please respect copyright.PENANAyDsyoLesiL
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."989Please respect copyright.PENANASc5M7MPJau
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.989Please respect copyright.PENANA0v4vW6dL8x
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.989Please respect copyright.PENANAEnvB7ktviN
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.989Please respect copyright.PENANAsWm8I1CB10
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.989Please respect copyright.PENANA9TkLFgYezF
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."989Please respect copyright.PENANApQ3jkdI2hu
"What are you talking about?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAuAS2dPc6s2
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAUAoQo9R9FW
Christine's mouth fell 989Please respect copyright.PENANAfS6jmZM3UD
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 989Please respect copyright.PENANAxN0biAxPYP
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.989Please respect copyright.PENANASERhZ8DgCX
"No, I don't," she said.989Please respect copyright.PENANAuQLgxkOnfn
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAzCnMPbWtam
do like him but only as a fan girl."989Please respect copyright.PENANAqN1aSiRTeC
"Please, I saw the way 989Please respect copyright.PENANAiUMc3hrmU3
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that989Please respect copyright.PENANAUd0YJsUyRQ
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."989Please respect copyright.PENANArUQ8ZJthlr
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 989Please respect copyright.PENANAinFsbMVLkK
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of989Please respect copyright.PENANA9ASRwqs64M
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 989Please respect copyright.PENANAyzqwPkFFCk
more."989Please respect copyright.PENANASc2rTW9kBS
"Ya, right," I said as I989Please respect copyright.PENANAXVY1Bj7otA
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 989Please respect copyright.PENANADmmpbaUT7R
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 989Please respect copyright.PENANAdBG4TaywR5
weird look on your face."989Please respect copyright.PENANAnPRPPEfQsL
"What weird look?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAFbBil6FdFI
"The jealous one."989Please respect copyright.PENANAGCl8HbWh9N
"Spare me the drama, Sam."989Please respect copyright.PENANAWniW0OlL2m
"If Zoey was the one 989Please respect copyright.PENANAKzZQY2hlBC
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 989Please respect copyright.PENANAzYn0kzZDXX
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 989Please respect copyright.PENANAMn6gZzH7PS
Jinwoo."989Please respect copyright.PENANAvikeQzz8ax
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.989Please respect copyright.PENANA8iZW2vCqse
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAG8N3ubrlpL
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."989Please respect copyright.PENANAdfsSihVKFS
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.989Please respect copyright.PENANAyYwNKnHhhB
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.989Please respect copyright.PENANAa8EKITlcgf
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.989Please respect copyright.PENANAWFYNfPExwS
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.989Please respect copyright.PENANAfkR0aD8IfO
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.989Please respect copyright.PENANA28DTXziN4K
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAuqRpkl8qLc
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.989Please respect copyright.PENANA5A9auXU5yy
Mike gave Christine a 989Please respect copyright.PENANA13juL4VmE1
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 989Please respect copyright.PENANAUaZ4zDKZX1
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't989Please respect copyright.PENANAXkCB1SHd9U
wrong about that.989Please respect copyright.PENANARa7AQ6IHeJ
We decided to go back to989Please respect copyright.PENANAQIx6S8RyCk
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 989Please respect copyright.PENANATOUEhwssV5
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,989Please respect copyright.PENANAAlqtUlkYcH
this happened:989Please respect copyright.PENANAdUt1akgTGK
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.989Please respect copyright.PENANAV7Be3s3AMf
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.989Please respect copyright.PENANADivFAkm8xH
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.989Please respect copyright.PENANAyu9ov7mLGf
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."989Please respect copyright.PENANA419fsC4SaT
I wanted to frown at him989Please respect copyright.PENANAJgrnJNVW1D
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 989Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ub2vTlOvN
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.989Please respect copyright.PENANAkJlxQuO6ft
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.989Please respect copyright.PENANAgy8HM5O5pW
I looked at Jinwoo and I989Please respect copyright.PENANAp6ldfU0nBM
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 989Please respect copyright.PENANA9ih5kPKodA
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 989Please respect copyright.PENANAokAYPsesJi
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.989Please respect copyright.PENANAx8npoKptU6
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.989Please respect copyright.PENANAmZrqsVKVzq
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAzDyyO11UPb
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.989Please respect copyright.PENANAm7WzlkzwqA
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."989Please respect copyright.PENANAML2AomSrGF
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAtkvSLzVWW2
"Good idea. Let's go."989Please respect copyright.PENANA13dsIgPsFA
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAtt0j0L27Td
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.989Please respect copyright.PENANAlyGZ2TIhER
Before he could say 989Please respect copyright.PENANAn0RBdvv8tv
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I989Please respect copyright.PENANAsjCuXipqd2
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped989Please respect copyright.PENANAYYe0soIxuD
out of the room, he was snickering.989Please respect copyright.PENANAXQf7buD3A5
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.989Please respect copyright.PENANAwfxL2cpHOx
"Just because I'm his 989Please respect copyright.PENANApLTBNGRXNd
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being989Please respect copyright.PENANA88alXVqhQY
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"989Please respect copyright.PENANARFeRm92zl6
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."989Please respect copyright.PENANAlKYnX0sZci
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAAj31kiC7oC
"Actually, it was only 989Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9M7CGXHqe
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 989Please respect copyright.PENANAVBgUsaNJIw
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."989Please respect copyright.PENANA0r3YyjpfUW
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.989Please respect copyright.PENANALbUG9PPjre
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.989Please respect copyright.PENANASB5Zp6ihZV
When we got to the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAZcY33cvw7s
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 989Please respect copyright.PENANAJWGV9ElYh2
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 989Please respect copyright.PENANA7JjKYdO4Je
inside the elevator.989Please respect copyright.PENANAZuZTzj40YM
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.989Please respect copyright.PENANAuG0ZJJudoo
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."989Please respect copyright.PENANAjp6u23qNvg
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.989Please respect copyright.PENANAVjEXe4sxTs
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.989Please respect copyright.PENANAHTpMiJgkny
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."989Please respect copyright.PENANAvzp8s7WVAS
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.989Please respect copyright.PENANAu1j1qhNrOp
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANA59elRR81di
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."989Please respect copyright.PENANA1pPFZcrJ2Y
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."989Please respect copyright.PENANAInGOXHNyr8
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."989Please respect copyright.PENANA9j3f4lK1GH
"Well, if you're 989Please respect copyright.PENANAS4gpP2SaQP
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 989Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y7oo7eTxW
his face and I could tell something was up.989Please respect copyright.PENANAPrl0Tk9ZoA
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAnkMJv7BNNr
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."989Please respect copyright.PENANASluW8l2nev
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"989Please respect copyright.PENANA0tssG34XOz
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."989Please respect copyright.PENANASIPqveeCqn
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.989Please respect copyright.PENANAm7qeEHlFC7
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."989Please respect copyright.PENANAVC8zMNtWQN
"I came to see you guys 989Please respect copyright.PENANA6CJPHOiejj
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 989Please respect copyright.PENANAyr44wbyjBd
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."989Please respect copyright.PENANAw1fEtykKT6
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."989Please respect copyright.PENANAiiV6iBNqMW
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."989Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ozhrw6vKT
"Okay, then you go and 989Please respect copyright.PENANAP4ZFVUZE3d
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino989Please respect copyright.PENANAeCJtUSTupv
to get Zoey as fast as we could."989Please respect copyright.PENANAbFamKOamze
"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.989Please respect copyright.PENANAAu4ceALdPm
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.989Please respect copyright.PENANA4PJxVuGrP3
We headed downstairs to 989Please respect copyright.PENANA9K1gCFGiaa
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 989Please respect copyright.PENANACSesqfS4dE
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.989Please respect copyright.PENANALZG2TXFGGh
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAxd05VRgFbm
"Trying to look good," 989Please respect copyright.PENANAkbcgWb7KUR
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 989Please respect copyright.PENANAiOMO5IRrDF
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 989Please respect copyright.PENANAT8kK8N4Dxs
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."989Please respect copyright.PENANATZzuiMSBdd
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.989Please respect copyright.PENANAIRakbvy38W
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.989Please respect copyright.PENANApw0eRi14Pg
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."989Please respect copyright.PENANAIjOKqbgVDJ
"You're kidding, right?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAp9xJrxR8c4
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."989Please respect copyright.PENANAGenFTrk9tS
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAtzaSsmGvfu
"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."989Please respect copyright.PENANAxbX7eAIjJi
Just as I turned around 989Please respect copyright.PENANASsL6Nq8Ie0
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 989Please respect copyright.PENANAzIJftHblDi
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 989Please respect copyright.PENANAzfuehHDgHD
the the floor we were on.989Please respect copyright.PENANAWCRF4nnesn
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.989Please respect copyright.PENANAMfhgwZXBbH
Just as we turned round a989Please respect copyright.PENANANsurOnbOMw
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 989Please respect copyright.PENANApIORJJ8HSo
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 989Please respect copyright.PENANA37KSvv8viW
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 989Please respect copyright.PENANA0WFfKj87AD
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.989Please respect copyright.PENANA6peTfY9qg6
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAILDGWJTxwS
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.989Please respect copyright.PENANAeWM3mgpdYo
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAUARzOVD93j
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."989Please respect copyright.PENANAXfnR8bPjhC
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAEhQHGncIi4
I didn't say anything as989Please respect copyright.PENANAILIVyEBp1G
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAs3qaGbio44
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 989Please respect copyright.PENANAYdSJV8dQfP
Hyun-suk's voice.989Please respect copyright.PENANAdL2Qdno511
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.989Please respect copyright.PENANAAbwmeQmEt0
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.989Please respect copyright.PENANAF8AGwYwNWV
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.989Please respect copyright.PENANA2xDwbiQ4mj
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.989Please respect copyright.PENANAWdFxg6Yc44
I checked around with my989Please respect copyright.PENANAGfuNvpJomS
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 989Please respect copyright.PENANAy7Rs4PyZH2
the light went on in the tiny room.989Please respect copyright.PENANAvFDQ7zZI1u
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAwlZ8MVuCzQ
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.989Please respect copyright.PENANAxcNni4gXz4
I shook my head. "They are still there."989Please respect copyright.PENANAk1xSBXTpxZ
Mino and Zoey both 989Please respect copyright.PENANAPCVBrr0Pcg
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 989Please respect copyright.PENANAIBCER8k2g3
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAWdj7rUrpez
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 989Please respect copyright.PENANAVBjKIRITsr
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 989Please respect copyright.PENANAbE9kUu7Bum
behind me.989Please respect copyright.PENANAHYO1cDRBc3
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.989Please respect copyright.PENANAft9Y1FUFjT
"I think they are gone," I whispered.989Please respect copyright.PENANAr3kReqOYyW
"Try and check," Mino whispered.989Please respect copyright.PENANAm3pFYTi7OR
I took hold of the door 989Please respect copyright.PENANAjUbdU4t4i9
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 989Please respect copyright.PENANA5VcZmWUDuq
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of989Please respect copyright.PENANATMABMjRiri
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.989Please respect copyright.PENANAiGTiJ5Oa0O
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.989Please respect copyright.PENANAaj9mLJwAB4
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.989Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZHYAk2QKh
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.989Please respect copyright.PENANAinIbyrOESi
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.989Please respect copyright.PENANAUiztmeZ4QM
The three of us were 989Please respect copyright.PENANActY8yTvipc
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 989Please respect copyright.PENANApchquHG0H8
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was989Please respect copyright.PENANABxzd5rIDZs
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 989Please respect copyright.PENANAGeMn1pFnIi
heard the phone ring.989Please respect copyright.PENANA5RqV0M28pp
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.989Please respect copyright.PENANA0CKPLAVtow
I quickly took the bag 989Please respect copyright.PENANAwHvc7D92Jz
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 989Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7qqvGPTOC
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 989Please respect copyright.PENANAXeZMGj5WvB
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 989Please respect copyright.PENANAHifu3MitUZ
anything strange."989Please respect copyright.PENANAaS5dSozUUs
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANA1JU6gL9DvH
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."989Please respect copyright.PENANAHJStsmJmLd
Mino and Zoey quickly 989Please respect copyright.PENANAQudTlEAJIf
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 989Please respect copyright.PENANARTzfSswXMe
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 989Please respect copyright.PENANAWlas90QkDo
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 989Please respect copyright.PENANAZiYnmC7zgA
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 989Please respect copyright.PENANATme1tXkCZV
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.989Please respect copyright.PENANAh4SaCuZkeY
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."989Please respect copyright.PENANAcnFj9nYveg
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.989Please respect copyright.PENANAXefV16z0Je
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."989Please respect copyright.PENANAhdJBnQMEvK
I gave them a little 989Please respect copyright.PENANAhjWKe1jo6o
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 989Please respect copyright.PENANABb3VG8crEb
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 989Please respect copyright.PENANA3N1detJ5Mh
the place.989Please respect copyright.PENANAnrIbc38eNq
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAvmIjm53YzJ
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.989Please respect copyright.PENANAEge0eWr7R4
"I must say, I watched 989Please respect copyright.PENANAvoWZww2ZDl
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 989Please respect copyright.PENANAEZvOIjyGZX
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 989Please respect copyright.PENANApnqc0chVTK
black suit.989Please respect copyright.PENANAfLvlbcNAww
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.989Please respect copyright.PENANASJUkgTQK0U
"You really do have good manners," said other man.989Please respect copyright.PENANAjRHQe8wlZg
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.989Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ079JGglM
"I always do my best," I said politely.989Please respect copyright.PENANAUA2nztm2KW
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.989Please respect copyright.PENANA5q0ZrrapD0
I felt my eyes were 989Please respect copyright.PENANA0q4A76RThH
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 989Please respect copyright.PENANAoqkoSY2ihk
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 989Please respect copyright.PENANAZrjUdMEwQh
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 989Please respect copyright.PENANAy1jHy31mYF
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.989Please respect copyright.PENANAQXKXOchaW5
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"989Please respect copyright.PENANApfssmItCcw
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me989Please respect copyright.PENANAfqY7joysNc
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 989Please respect copyright.PENANAZH3EQFye0Q
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAq1GQkG8jSz
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.989Please respect copyright.PENANAtrzSE2b4Vd
"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."989Please respect copyright.PENANAJP5Tcl3xas
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.989Please respect copyright.PENANA7d0nLRO34q
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.989Please respect copyright.PENANAIJP5xmmCky
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."989Please respect copyright.PENANAwYx6quv3oR
I smiled as I bowed my 989Please respect copyright.PENANAaFHHSjfaW1
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 989Please respect copyright.PENANAZj83vP7KzY
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 989Please respect copyright.PENANA6GQFnpUlLh
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I989Please respect copyright.PENANAYEDDsGPtJo
was until now.989Please respect copyright.PENANA4KTDBwFId6
I quickly ran to the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAPXwviRky1s
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 989Please respect copyright.PENANAjIQ8l2DwWi
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 989Please respect copyright.PENANAUJtBtzHa0s
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 989Please respect copyright.PENANAjWXPU7Gfn2
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 989Please respect copyright.PENANAtH3GsG6BfN
see.989Please respect copyright.PENANAlW9w5TQjjL
"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.989Please respect copyright.PENANAPoahp4B4nO
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."989Please respect copyright.PENANAYToSyvhruZ
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.989Please respect copyright.PENANABtcSVEmC4U
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.989Please respect copyright.PENANA46epS1Ufbd
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.989Please respect copyright.PENANAEx4Bbep55X
"Because I missed you."989Please respect copyright.PENANA6LJfo5YXth
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.989Please respect copyright.PENANABYDav11aLe
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.989Please respect copyright.PENANAEhWpieBhyP
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.989Please respect copyright.PENANA71oUqfiPkj
When we reached the 989Please respect copyright.PENANA153ifOY1EA
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 989Please respect copyright.PENANAUEwqMxRoVq
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAhoIelQsXds
lobby.989Please respect copyright.PENANAm4dh5fCn1K
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.989Please respect copyright.PENANAjfxDwElyoA
"I think I've an idea," I989Please respect copyright.PENANA3dxxie9ZAm
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going989Please respect copyright.PENANAD2dX03KYrO
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAZp2WVxKN4Q
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."989Please respect copyright.PENANACVfNScMesE
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.989Please respect copyright.PENANAVQImRu3QZg
I rolled my eyes. I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAeAX0b4SU0P
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself989Please respect copyright.PENANAhUanqiZMZR
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 989Please respect copyright.PENANATLv9h4jPZ6
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.989Please respect copyright.PENANAgDHxLki1dv
"Because I'm smart 989Please respect copyright.PENANAYypxFixHkL
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such989Please respect copyright.PENANAWXPYyxggTT
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAEVbptzsxTN
Mino and TOP smiled at 989Please respect copyright.PENANA7IpfcXlmy3
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 989Please respect copyright.PENANADJZslT6sGp
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 989Please respect copyright.PENANAVcdefbbZ55
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.989Please respect copyright.PENANAbgvd2KVOIG
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."989Please respect copyright.PENANAD7FQpL7f9p
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANASJi5auTUaG
"If we don't take the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAwuYusvrXrJ
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 989Please respect copyright.PENANA5Cbic49L7R
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."989Please respect copyright.PENANA8LbcpVqlkb
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.989Please respect copyright.PENANAjDghHCAESO
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.989Please respect copyright.PENANAU7eUbuVskZ
"You guys go right now 989Please respect copyright.PENANAxGDQFiJI1z
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 989Please respect copyright.PENANASQGnpukSmC
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."989Please respect copyright.PENANAKiF4U5mZXb
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.989Please respect copyright.PENANASJofsgJwVH
"Because I need you around."989Please respect copyright.PENANAUeSteqguTL
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.989Please respect copyright.PENANAhIeKSxadZb
Seungyoon and his group 989Please respect copyright.PENANAgBRpfC79XD
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAvzf78XFyHg
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 989Please respect copyright.PENANAkXUpgvGhdb
for ten minutes.989Please respect copyright.PENANAGNQLItVuii
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAksI71posj1
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.989Please respect copyright.PENANAPuCuAmR4w5
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.989Please respect copyright.PENANABNeeIIbFuZ
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.989Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7NgYtG65c
"So if you guys are 989Please respect copyright.PENANAParBdFWRK3
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 989Please respect copyright.PENANAoXJttFK7lf
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANAAOaJxHUoM4
"Why do you ask?" I asked.989Please respect copyright.PENANApMGZQ699Q7
"You guys can't just 989Please respect copyright.PENANADM0Uk9wiYB
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 989Please respect copyright.PENANABoPKS0OZVj
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 989Please respect copyright.PENANAs6UMD2RHPW
managers will find out what's going on."989Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZYBnxhigr
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.989Please respect copyright.PENANAY6o7nfzle4
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.989Please respect copyright.PENANA23EgYXlrky
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.989Please respect copyright.PENANAzh80dYQrXF
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."989Please respect copyright.PENANASQhEWf64Da
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."989Please respect copyright.PENANAMOlKW30M46
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.989Please respect copyright.PENANAXtTp4vn7Mj
The others quickly 989Please respect copyright.PENANA9KkvccPG2j
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 989Please respect copyright.PENANAKpIXT0JTYZ
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 989Please respect copyright.PENANAAPoe2cXwve
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 989Please respect copyright.PENANA7iBrymo9iy
worried that they might have hit their heads.989Please respect copyright.PENANA3KFTVsXrIF
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.989Please respect copyright.PENANAfwzXATMKUT
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."989Please respect copyright.PENANALjFJ7bukct
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.989Please respect copyright.PENANA6h12jbz4p9
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.989Please respect copyright.PENANAD4vrmAAPU4
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.989Please respect copyright.PENANA0IWewwJBlV
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"989Please respect copyright.PENANAHnNLYuRv7A
As soon as I turned 989Please respect copyright.PENANAZi6te2lZ7z
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the989Please respect copyright.PENANAhimOFId6zI
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 989Please respect copyright.PENANAYKfv4qfD1N
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 989Please respect copyright.PENANA0B49rqVEVs
behind me paused ready for the worst.989Please respect copyright.PENANAUVRwN0CnHc
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.989Please respect copyright.PENANABK80M7TJnz
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."989Please respect copyright.PENANAF3C2RsMgfw
"Well, this day just got989Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ac5Y9QIMU
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about989Please respect copyright.PENANAHYz3y4I2gL
it. I couldn't blame him for that.989Please respect copyright.PENANAeFPex0BeI3
Coming out of the 989Please respect copyright.PENANAVqEgpXGeFS
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 989Please respect copyright.PENANA0zk5YzDsYa
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 989Please respect copyright.PENANAkxwSXhumHH
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.989Please respect copyright.PENANAJWNVzO7PXX
I felt like I had stood 989Please respect copyright.PENANAnPosk1oNgK
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged989Please respect copyright.PENANAoHA5pwrt7t
me on the shoulder to get my attention.989Please respect copyright.PENANAl6IE02icLD
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.989Please respect copyright.PENANAkb6H5Y4w7c
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.989Please respect copyright.PENANASHf9UxcIpf
