Meeting WINNER the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANACDpzM1BjsI
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 1017Please respect copyright.PENANABT44kFbIMQ
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA9PbE4S1v9i
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxqPFTYNRRR
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAXrWF3FZZWu
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8H7TqSxy2j
With the little time we 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAK72t1HVPDD
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again1017Please respect copyright.PENANAvWoEciKBI3
as we all got to know each other.1017Please respect copyright.PENANArICtozFWWZ
Seungyoon, the leader 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA74L1IA8Csi
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAiJaWkaKb7t
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a1017Please respect copyright.PENANAnLCOlUjdh9
fun and nice person to be around with.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAzom3ECQ3yA
Then there is Mino, who 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAaUaQ7l9z9u
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for1017Please respect copyright.PENANAXKnmZcRYfI
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAgU5hWCxPcw
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAwBPT52Aodp
As for Jinwoo and 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAyfx76tKrvq
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAprEpwyaUmq
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAnp7x9kGnPE
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAoP85IrpIPF
in Korea.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAJZA8Mvrzos
As for Seunghoon, I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAGIayO8cE0x
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6f4wBOvMFF
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAJhBVEcac3f
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA31FT2yNgQ1
Before they left, we 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAdMxL2xA3YM
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAj7EGafzE7a
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAkWOFe2eJ1K
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAAejXxB8V8r
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done1017Please respect copyright.PENANATBnl9P3YCe
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cyl8F6i0h
place?1017Please respect copyright.PENANAfrFSbvGAE9
I already had that part 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAqGKoUI1KDd
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAqu0eCEbGcR
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAzGNXFPRRvg
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANArubG67fV7l
wouldn't have to break a sweat.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAtV54JZDoHg
Right now, this very 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1JHUE5SsIs
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 1017Please respect copyright.PENANArolLE39ixZ
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q4p8trwYj
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee1017Please respect copyright.PENANArh3UJdgvbk
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAFL6pOemGwo
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxSD1EU08YQ
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAcgOjIQfpYv
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.1017Please respect copyright.PENANANTrmaPDNxH
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6vrrGNKgr4
"I'm tired of sleeping,"1017Please respect copyright.PENANArLCKP6SBpJ
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQDJK6jYwIK
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2epuLMjgXk
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.1017Please respect copyright.PENANASSYxSAKALR
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAcFnAuyFHAr
"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."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAuf5IeJP6Tp
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAr72D5PWgKn
"You know, going for 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAP8uIiXPIDb
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAkUAU1o1KkX
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAFaoVG4IVHA
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAkzRNrJOZrC
we try to do what we're familiar with."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA0GUlGk3X0X
"Mmmm, I guess you're 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZeRD22Eluc
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 1017Please respect copyright.PENANANUjTmXN7c3
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAP9P55I3MBt
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA5GojJTXqEr
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAkhgZHX54Th
"Yep," Collins nodded 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAPiBhILSaD9
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA0bwqWqciJg
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAJLD7sZyBWz
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 1017Please respect copyright.PENANALIqiJkP71b
good now, will it?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANA0S9sYTrNrg
Wow. This was literally 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhxe2VhzOZQ
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAcFLOCabEQD
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA4devpjcL3C
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZTO7NY7S0L
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAVIaVv7uGSa
I left the lounge at a 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZJCJWid6mK
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAUoQR8XZQPi
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door1017Please respect copyright.PENANA5i9iYYtrfT
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6orGpKPgGq
Zoey sat up with a start1017Please respect copyright.PENANAIj99HJgZKd
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA16zNtsNlmF
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAt1frpjTqwH
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAYX4g922BIe
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6PiPWrE4X
At first she didn't say a1017Please respect copyright.PENANA7Pw4e5f6wy
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZVuCoIPaQl
looking at me with her eyes wide open.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAPn0wit7fCh
"What did you say?" she asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAXLvxapFFXg
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAkj7WsR1k5U
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAIb4aE9x7yF
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA4oZfoztm9n
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANANWY93H6g0L
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."1017Please respect copyright.PENANARXh59PpSDj
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAs7G6R4RIfh
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.1017Please respect copyright.PENANARIPxLVfFxs
I went to wake up 1017Please respect copyright.PENANATynvRu5E3G
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I1017Please respect copyright.PENANAM8N44YqqQC
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAFUc35dbxMg
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAklxLXUv4hd
"I gave a reasonable 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6vjIugEHzj
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAyRvFPBN7Pu
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAEPqAqIFT2h
I noticed Christine 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAiYkofpWj3T
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly1017Please respect copyright.PENANANg022NfRLC
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAofN8J0jYlP
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 1017Please respect copyright.PENANALMx9qGQn95
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAtHg8L19AM5
When we all had our bags1017Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ9u4uN1GR
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAbocilUoCte
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 1017Please respect copyright.PENANACXIFZlKGlI
looked at us.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAlSeNvtelT8
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAKKJeuD7MLZ
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAa7avzudovz
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhRQN67Zfu3
"I hate when you use my 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQnodWsAPnU
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 1017Please respect copyright.PENANALUO5bh4fDQ
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAj3IFauUwAp
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAIRdI2g2J1A
Collins rolled his eyes 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAqaVq7fYjfK
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAqhwrJ9CROt
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQxkf2m5BWj
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAadkHHdWHR6
"I would really love to,1017Please respect copyright.PENANA7LHVcpAsR9
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass1017Please respect copyright.PENANAvWZnPLT4Gi
by at lunchtime to check on you."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAHwwDmwTVJd
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAcEtnynvqj9
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA7IHi7waSYj
"Nothing," said Christine.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA4vUoOOr4I8
I noticed Mike give 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAyAcZTpFCm0
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut1017Please respect copyright.PENANAmCpnNPwv4x
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAbEYssUP3h4
going on.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAtwTtgpK8lC
"It's just about the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1ny8DMDm38
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAgTAQPyPqgr
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gwzr16bkh
happened."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWhfk1QsKTe
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAsEeaaHlgxx
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAw64JSEJ5f9
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAC58jIEXeoT
When we arrived at YG, 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZz45cRf1Iy
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAr1Uv0OCMTh
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAqv06jtXv0J
"I already informed the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAAJVab3xTsw
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAjfPlJL0rq5
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANApEnm4xxPUN
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1MvMubChux
"I know you will. See you later."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWFynD8d02C
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhfr7JJxfER
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAp7E2HL56XY
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1MfBzb4POe
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxZKlT3DYjP
"Careful, Zoey," I said 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWwVG7zaFan
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8WjVHMUYsk
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAlNqN3sm1LC
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAsh1hn1FdY9
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1MWiel17BF
"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.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAKm0pDH431H
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.1017Please respect copyright.PENANACsC6z9QVxA
"No," I said as the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6RTBBbEtMz
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAiykXciQpLL
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 1017Please respect copyright.PENANARyCw8IcZZx
studios.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAzIzoanlqzB
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8KjopFpo0q
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAgMux7idSnj
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."1017Please respect copyright.PENANASTQlACKqDk
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.1017Please respect copyright.PENANArMWRzrEiav
"That's different."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6kHx3vB4xn
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6l2g3AFbu4
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANA7Klx5QTQAw
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAuhikb0XjFD
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAoqKTbC9Vnb
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAIgHBor2JIh
It was so much fun 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAOmp6fZeRwb
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 1017Please respect copyright.PENANANoANkIgEll
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAd9cTFsruKk
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAAAOK4OV4Ct
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAPMWAZEb9mU
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6pCZDBJRe1
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA478KeKZIug
"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."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAvXQBkHudGS
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAsodv5CFYmk
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAcezeiAsRBe
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAJn1Xy0M2an
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA96F2aXCmrZ
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAJtabEXXWZP
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAoCg8i3ts3d
"Come on, Zoey," I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAtD1ujDLzVl
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAOU4fdkrGMm
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAex7Z4A50xw
"What song?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANA67QKTPnLEf
I didn't answer when I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAXCFSxFJ6JQ
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 1017Please respect copyright.PENANADXEVKYNKi9
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANACZXAavMJQp
pill soon started to play.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAN4gpPnC4Wn
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.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAovz1ux8Phi
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.1017Please respect copyright.PENANApqCF6KX7RY
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA7PPizqaprb
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.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6wReHFd3IT
It's been a while since I1017Please respect copyright.PENANA0QUJIGtcsb
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8spcdoOaty
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAGRH4kf0T8b
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAfPYXliU0nk
At the end of it, the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAheTKJoVrE5
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAri9PTdWjhz
our moves synchronising with one another.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7ToTro2A4
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAwid7yCt6fu
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."1017Please respect copyright.PENANALjdIPrNWSt
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAyUDJknkJ0S
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAYkoxvKwduH
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZjINTOblwD
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA0KWh4CAgQ2
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."1017Please respect copyright.PENANARRFkkCV03t
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAjMw7Afx0n8
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA0MKAUdIxz8
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAl63xKz5pDV
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAliaWtL2jBo
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAo6oYUGQDJo
Mino and Seunghoon both 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAnKSPvLsx9J
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAHgO0RxkG3c
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAeb5YKFMOD4
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAbrgIf7OUEW
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.1017Please respect copyright.PENANATXZBsD0oNg
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA99ibNXqu6O
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAjIQViMARQb
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAmA1ZJPJVH1
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA26126c7Hji
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."1017Please respect copyright.PENANARjeThZpeEo
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.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAuPiJfCb2Yl
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA4srbM5R2lf
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAGEbjCYsfre
I nudged my head to the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAMHBpKKHGWt
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAyKqlYui2Av
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhKyEqk7wB4
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.1017Please respect copyright.PENANANwkHpBdRF7
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA032IvULhBp
Seunghoon lips were 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hq0PlKNlu
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was1017Please respect copyright.PENANAevIU4oloR0
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose1017Please respect copyright.PENANAKp6PRF6zuK
focus.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAbYdVZ1T0yi
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAJDBT0UVJfo
"The others might, but I1017Please respect copyright.PENANAwjSDzpeMnQ
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going1017Please respect copyright.PENANAg5gnerWlL2
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAmeameg70FU
when TOP came to pick me up?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAUsbEBd7a3D
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAFOoBCF2Hf0
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAwF0pDJ99QM
He again took a step closer. "Yes."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAPPiuV2cuq1
Well, that made sense 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA9QHScShg1Y
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 1017Please respect copyright.PENANABLdZOGdW5I
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxaNiN4RimX
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAR6oPNFoRMl
seen.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA9YIHyyb65V
I hadn't realised it 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2kR5hDj8tH
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking1017Please respect copyright.PENANAuZzTZxCFXK
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA7ooKPZAk57
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 1017Please respect copyright.PENANArN5QuKE5G5
uncomfortable.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAfSzfSCDbQr
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAju7UgXLkFz
"Well, yes," he 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAvt0NyxXm9l
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA9ndAtZIl3f
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWVqRt1uh36
"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."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAx18W5hfdl9
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.1017Please respect copyright.PENANABe7YDcOVv9
I blushed and I was a 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1vIJDcqLlc
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA3r1phVuScd
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAChMDtgbxXL
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAHDEYckYKRN
celebrities.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA4OdFAeIAzB
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1yJBG9Rjwv
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAmY7weklGcM
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAPK4QH5SZmC
"No, they don't," I lied1017Please respect copyright.PENANAlzEorHDchP
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAHlvwdYmtMV
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAsXV5rmNM7n
others had arrived.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAdvUI43rttF
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAFXSVjmDfqq
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAiUrVaOALG7
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAuAs1iTmbl8
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANABy9c9KcppF
"Awesome," I replied.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2RxEbsThZd
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAC7grHkMqxu
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAOkxX3E6Iny
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAUwXVCTd7NF
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA3AnOfmRdjV
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2L1PARekoz
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAsIrGGLUGi0
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhK6PFWDff7
"And besides, you and I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAKYa8YfGzC5
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAyLXFyAFpp9
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 1017Please respect copyright.PENANADJFKOxxKpP
and Seunghoon showed up."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAHCzbr1LsB0
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAbwHXsARRl6
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAeI7qNuB8g7
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAKD6LlOWyYF
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAFaprNAoHF1
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAjPjgH0XAh7
Apparently, he wasn't 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAsj9tOF6DxO
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all1017Please respect copyright.PENANANCny2UYezR
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that1017Please respect copyright.PENANAVZM87HXYVf
just made him look even more adorable.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAwn2lD0rh8Q
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAiPOeyy4kPD
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAzVCcAAsBH8
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxjByH2MnWt
"Yes!" I heard the four 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6ysDvHCNHF
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAa2ltMPbrFr
at the track list. Then, something came to me.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAwU9wGBEbva
"Change of plans, Zoey,"1017Please respect copyright.PENANA42ZNUe4mk4
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want1017Please respect copyright.PENANAOVCSwf0Lv0
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAmMGnDygfK2
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA04drjiiOKv
"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."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAKnP8m9D4S8
"This just got interesting," said Mino.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAGYotpLn7cR
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANA9Mt5S3r5MU
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."1017Please respect copyright.PENANANRcRkV3fhd
"Taeyang is going to 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAuGB4BPEoZU
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWvgqyCmnPG
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA3paoVlErwx
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAIFh76zGjfY
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.1017Please respect copyright.PENANArNQUt2kzOi
I tapped the track on my1017Please respect copyright.PENANA0uWRTyDUG9
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2FBVyE3pIe
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAIpYuvmYEg8
When the song started, I1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWfUTOQE47z
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 1017Please respect copyright.PENANABUko65mKxJ
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAHDPIH5yy9s
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAGZZMorPuCQ
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to1017Please respect copyright.PENANAiiZ2X316cj
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAT0lqw72TdZ
doing a pretty good with the moves too.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAcQSiymW18Y
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAi3xlGmVtA6
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA68SHrAfWUF
"Whenever it came to the1017Please respect copyright.PENANAOVHvMSsvMW
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAh3c4eLV8zN
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAW22GR0uhPa
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8nPbTJXamA
"Thanks, guys," I said.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8hLiWawMbI
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAn3wVigJtBR
"Now, coming to my 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAzLiS5zgfnE
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 1017Please respect copyright.PENANANhXvyAQWhE
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAYWp2T7XdsA
think is a better dancer?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAihlSdZDljv
"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."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxrSzQuEuLy
"Why?" Zoey asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAYOs9vkaHBd
"I think you and I both 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA3zL4FUCesf
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAfTLk0pFVuz
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAuamqlGRIo0
That counts for something, right?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAUMousmENJb
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."1017Please respect copyright.PENANADEjZqR0Piq
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAdS9xSnvrx7
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2LBOy458Op
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAryctKwyczp
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAvAtiQThFMw
"Well, ya." Mike 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAmvZUU4n9kq
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAdCIj90HVfc
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAnDBdN7L6nn
sentence as he looked at Zoey.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAlGYRaq4d1f
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAqtVLnEAlpd
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAfdpL5Syeyk
"I also think it will be1017Please respect copyright.PENANASViD8bboBQ
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAx4z5T6UDJV
obviously bring out a better opinion."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAB7nFUp6jwH
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.1017Please respect copyright.PENANANM3mn1EXll
"Count me out of it," I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAUEmzrqPdND
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAIh4ZNllCIc
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAHGFQxIQfs2
"Fine, I'll create a 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA3q30MxN8rn
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWZFuorMfYX
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though1017Please respect copyright.PENANAdTDPeAoGIg
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxVrECQXPpz
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAcUMoZEOyzf
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAq2RUQzMJOh
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAMOI73jFq5g
Zoey and Mike soon got 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAEf5aCrc4tO
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAmQrBP2jS1Z
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAC9OfCbxpno
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance1017Please respect copyright.PENANAfGXEpmLKVA
battle.1017Please respect copyright.PENANALezAMGmVaQ
I got my phone and the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA9v0jvIlDng
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAANbcOjxLgq
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAegajBrhxGH
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6jyHYYnXO3
I turned to look at him 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAIzDW3y4Tpu
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAqpCDPg0fQ2
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 1017Please respect copyright.PENANALH0JGofTZK
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAq9uf2s3neH
smile if they were to look at him.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAYPUvSFMVwu
"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."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA3ADpYbIa2w
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAXAuMX8Sh4m
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAcITwpxfLRB
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."1017Please respect copyright.PENANANxZCJib0Cg
"You're right about that."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAFmgZW6DmoI
I looked behind me with a1017Please respect copyright.PENANA9YENlU6Z59
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAe82KyCFHU7
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAa7chuuXuTg
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA33aVs0wcXm
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAoiABVDMq8J
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4qPxp1EKc
"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."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAK7GKotTQ92
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAMz45yR89Nx
"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."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAH1dkDqL7kS
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."1017Please respect copyright.PENANATZkM1DChta
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAcVmSRDECxQ
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAA2HN1nT0WL
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA9L75KrbqOQ
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAjaWDL6E0Es
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAFxrC0W4IUa
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAT9Bqf5Cz1H
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1qWWb4Ajdd
"I sure hope so," I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAq0vfP5tQqW
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAvsWYdABeCU
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."1017Please respect copyright.PENANACTnyTyhiQ5
"What about those two?" 1017Please respect copyright.PENANASue0OdSsjr
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAnJge8NP3lM
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZuIcFdf6M4
soon.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAJLsqAio0Hm
"They will notice when 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAD6CLzR47uJ
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ0vunjOsr
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhAXJieRENt
"Sure," he said with a smile.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAmBEbLyszJn
Christine, Daniel and I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQKhNEaDRLe
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 1017Please respect copyright.PENANABuBBla5wvT
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAnMNsraB2Mq
Twenty minutes later, I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANARNrMfoWEZU
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAqKIIaGxAW4
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAu0c4IlvL2Y
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAtIVgtlcNAM
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAssaN2aYYh5
in the shower room, still patching herself up.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAtJoei9XwDp
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAaEDxLgb0e6
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAEFRDWwhqXa
"Why? Anything special?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1uCKECZzxC
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWD8A7BHOLF
"Oh, nothing," I stared 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8PgmbtW3N9
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAd1L2rn7KDe
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA5FhjrUZyMN
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."1017Please respect copyright.PENANADIpjwElvVh
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQZQb602XkV
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA01RqkwyyEX
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAB1eB5zqxMP
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAkHkt9mFQAk
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."1017Please respect copyright.PENANADg36YjWlkI
"What are you talking about?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANApK09BzJwPj
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8jOrl9Rms7
Christine's mouth fell 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAqVZ858MWmi
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA0WDQoi5mla
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxb62hdun1f
"No, I don't," she said.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA4c83PZJnMy
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8qJjh43ddx
do like him but only as a fan girl."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAJh1A2Sce5x
"Please, I saw the way 1017Please respect copyright.PENANALNNMEh7RhF
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZRx8yHw9P0
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAeFfl6je96w
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAzmu01NqD9u
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of1017Please respect copyright.PENANAaupeQUJE7e
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAHmau9G3OEn
more."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAOcVDoUNx4Q
"Ya, right," I said as I1017Please respect copyright.PENANAchP0wHqMm1
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAvfczPdMcV4
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAegKwYzdZzP
weird look on your face."1017Please respect copyright.PENANADE0dlv1awS
"What weird look?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAcbEEb19woj
"The jealous one."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8IrsgfvwVS
"Spare me the drama, Sam."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8mOAqJRQyg
"If Zoey was the one 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAEgBPSYwovY
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAfsBfc2l6BE
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAKo91x0AhOp
Jinwoo."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAe6gL2CByTk
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.1017Please respect copyright.PENANARROTUY2VmQ
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ1wvEHUNo
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAEIutc3uqUm
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.1017Please respect copyright.PENANABRRVx6SePP
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9GcgrETRm
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAVB1YNZAev0
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.1017Please respect copyright.PENANALsT8uS5njb
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAAae9q8jEAQ
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAR9gWRBMlyE
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8rVM0spBxT
Mike gave Christine a 1017Please respect copyright.PENANABQXf7iCtLp
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA9oJXqD1LQ6
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't1017Please respect copyright.PENANABE7m2EWT0M
wrong about that.1017Please respect copyright.PENANADpNC6uX5GH
We decided to go back to1017Please respect copyright.PENANAHuvGIncBJl
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 1017Please respect copyright.PENANApxOGlqGq7C
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,1017Please respect copyright.PENANAqJKvfL8d6U
this happened:1017Please respect copyright.PENANArUrjepIpKz
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAfwc2qML8LK
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAjhiPpzrzEk
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAMMpZymzIkO
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAqpXvTCYkQt
I wanted to frown at him1017Please respect copyright.PENANAlQbbTlOBfC
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAivWJSnHmjN
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA7EvfKmaOJl
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAEoOUR3oiHZ
I looked at Jinwoo and I1017Please respect copyright.PENANA4P4Ttyury4
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAgs11fKSE5g
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA44z3iBXP93
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA7fxCccw722
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA0V8R6f2JzQ
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAD1H3DODdtE
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAJNYFxIYaRT
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2p1NiZa2Uy
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAwdnx70gZiH
"Good idea. Let's go."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAMBUk308HQm
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANANCn8qX2JSr
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA5tXVSUgEeX
Before he could say 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA9acjb4xRXa
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I1017Please respect copyright.PENANAMlQhZyu7rZ
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxqbBLMt5I3
out of the room, he was snickering.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAShso5wI6F7
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAIWG9gt779l
"Just because I'm his 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAnLA5ernjQT
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being1017Please respect copyright.PENANAonPGRnT1Zp
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAXnClxKlCis
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."1017Please respect copyright.PENANABJu0iM8tLT
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAe6xlkj51Tu
"Actually, it was only 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxKUhhNZZ8y
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAFkPz7Z8fTB
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."1017Please respect copyright.PENANASHOHWzNkPH
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQdnSeE3Hyc
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.1017Please respect copyright.PENANATw6DhBJ2N9
When we got to the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAyRToVxnt1e
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAkX9FtRe7HI
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 1017Please respect copyright.PENANARp4xMS6jMe
inside the elevator.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAzfUdt13lQ6
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAjyz6Pjs6xm
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."1017Please respect copyright.PENANALKNot3O5L8
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAiSwg3R00Vp
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAUAfb4zlbZO
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAfX0JC0SF6o
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2MVQreRg8s
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAARX4fl5Qoy
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhPd1FWAV6r
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAKumH6Vr5vi
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."1017Please respect copyright.PENANADPp1aWYbjE
"Well, if you're 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAujHcd9REXD
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAE22divBsv7
his face and I could tell something was up.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZf3VyRRjfC
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAsyyd5BBRfP
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAS04yO2N9kF
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANACSLWiZoWEr
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAshMEIJWlEx
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAtEgvvBFg3b
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA0IxM3dqqWq
"I came to see you guys 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAgLCvEOBuo8
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1roabCK6SP
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAYG2C5tItG7
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAOuPoZpL2ay
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAzJV6D8IJvc
"Okay, then you go and 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxbyiXSPbwG
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino1017Please respect copyright.PENANAFw4VZrgKIf
to get Zoey as fast as we could."1017Please respect copyright.PENANArd79nrOBw1
"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.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAuA3fu08rBd
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.1017Please respect copyright.PENANARppYezHZ8s
We headed downstairs to 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAi0dgnwDGet
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAb9daPHwqdW
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAFWVPSramKS
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1SUaOdb2u6
"Trying to look good," 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAiT7D30SSQD
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAXWOoABa87Q
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAkJJCSlBGUd
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2GNIg790Lk
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAX7YYN18NSh
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAdXfkrAfteQ
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."1017Please respect copyright.PENANATOglFX1Thr
"You're kidding, right?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAsbFL5ycesl
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAzeat3qTzy2
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANA4suGU88bPL
"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."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAB6HDwdKULZ
Just as I turned around 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1BINw1fTPQ
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAHDSOMOkiUW
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZSNj492YXL
the the floor we were on.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAXCXTQsNX0v
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.1017Please respect copyright.PENANASnfIU2CT8k
Just as we turned round a1017Please respect copyright.PENANANBEpGJcVUG
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAo4glICnB6O
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAKccTzIgIOg
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 1017Please respect copyright.PENANANOsdUih5wK
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWWfBCRWOTz
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAvEqPPG2PlK
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAs3q5oJaaaq
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANApM8jB7dMc4
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAsAxa4SrRLB
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANARrChLRDzXs
I didn't say anything as1017Please respect copyright.PENANAE3zOrOhnUZ
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA4JsnUMHBM2
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAnQSRoRBjPa
Hyun-suk's voice.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ii1VzcpmO
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.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAojS32FZcJZ
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAuYvRUBPtkZ
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAlSIHdiMmcQ
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.1017Please respect copyright.PENANACaIOtAMscp
I checked around with my1017Please respect copyright.PENANAGqt1GzVzl0
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWuYQZ1gjYD
the light went on in the tiny room.1017Please respect copyright.PENANACWZPWwmTuQ
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAyiZMU60Mhk
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2qSoHmJBLm
I shook my head. "They are still there."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxsrCd38oZh
Mino and Zoey both 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAjnPfuRSa2a
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA3VQ890Yg9O
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAdMBFY5z9ir
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWDljaO5CVV
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhzY6ZFFuF9
behind me.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAnvyQygzXFH
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAVl8dQDqDPO
"I think they are gone," I whispered.1017Please respect copyright.PENANApSr3dhVeCT
"Try and check," Mino whispered.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA0tmRVLxWfy
I took hold of the door 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAJKkybweI3J
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8br9fSCFmR
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of1017Please respect copyright.PENANAI49AfVk5WU
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAuc6wChU8Wp
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAdAq9wjDj3n
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAjRViycYpT3
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZHySPx8t1T
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAlblEQWUcVF
The three of us were 1017Please respect copyright.PENANARwgwJ3nnmH
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAoGE5xWhF73
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was1017Please respect copyright.PENANAOqd1VAs8u6
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 1017Please respect copyright.PENANArri626tLKD
heard the phone ring.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAXIRncItl7l
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAGsIlz73cck
I quickly took the bag 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAKiLxg0Jy18
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZBXJalMGa
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAlmDUqRExzF
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAPt2R0ke9zU
anything strange."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAiOVAthC46o
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhSTdI65mdA
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWRslHL3jjx
Mino and Zoey quickly 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAI5l7rfh03l
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA7Tbbko8rTZ
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2sFA3liiW2
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAGQprlVt71x
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAzj5d42JrvQ
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAaLYIwFSYrE
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAtbyx8hFW3n
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.1017Please respect copyright.PENANARnCxXNuKnz
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."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ9c1F0ioc
I gave them a little 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAzH7joidhjf
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAlOcYVzvmT5
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhpU9ZjgNZm
the place.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2RlgH2qISX
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANALjfZDUQ4KZ
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.1017Please respect copyright.PENANARimIYF2D2H
"I must say, I watched 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1ssFXq9ENt
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 1017Please respect copyright.PENANADQnm3QRcAa
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 1017Please respect copyright.PENANABTwpknjJ4S
black suit.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAIT6GZnuYKW
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAYjFDj76shz
"You really do have good manners," said other man.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAbmXulq9KxB
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAYJffXGYpDu
"I always do my best," I said politely.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAXfbOVd7Q9j
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.1017Please respect copyright.PENANACk4Ct5AdXB
I felt my eyes were 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAkh7G67f4Xi
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA3SiDodq595
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAclR70qmZIZ
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAGeXMvaxVQk
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAFbm9U2FyCz
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAvO7SZd932Q
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me1017Please respect copyright.PENANA1pRVEw3ViN
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAUFkVeod33g
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANArvRReluZjp
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAYyIZyqZ2zE
"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."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAE0mC9tX7vL
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZvLoxJ1wD7
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAmsoxoiHfTc
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAdZWnjoP3nu
I smiled as I bowed my 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAkJTZ57w1ww
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhXn52T2LKs
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAK4cKwJxv7T
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I1017Please respect copyright.PENANA6eoZmhA563
was until now.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAu3g980sRmw
I quickly ran to the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAODJGgEhaET
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 1017Please respect copyright.PENANANMcmcDulxQ
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhU1bLIQyAH
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAvO5myC2XfQ
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhLW2WiIr4T
see.1017Please respect copyright.PENANARCig7aCLaL
"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.1017Please respect copyright.PENANASM56ihBxp2
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAROEkoPMHpp
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAie8DGvX484
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAsujXI9VU8P
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAE40ux4KsON
"Because I missed you."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2ICCVZipq
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAdHQ2VbGcH5
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAREE65TMq3f
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAoBsxdnfNkY
When we reached the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAhGpMGC57jP
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAUU0SeGW8IR
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWURILlw53K
lobby.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAHIxsb1ejuy
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAc2vH6U4AJ7
"I think I've an idea," I1017Please respect copyright.PENANAB3ZaFAseoh
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going1017Please respect copyright.PENANABAKjQoUV81
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANApe3495qZdz
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAlzPpdZ9Tqq
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAUGVuDBIAJm
I rolled my eyes. I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZaJdCiauf
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself1017Please respect copyright.PENANA5Szxwb8LkJ
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAusGqY0PgkU
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAlronLTDK1j
"Because I'm smart 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAvoXsMpS1tf
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such1017Please respect copyright.PENANApcwhL7uj51
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANA3v7q1Hvepm
Mino and TOP smiled at 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAaBMrUdxwdY
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAmzmJ9afgc2
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 1017Please respect copyright.PENANANdCOIq1Olj
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZZI0bBJPB0
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAjYeSFGcK7T
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANASpogiGb0Zg
"If we don't take the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAK4tT3lEZ8k

raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAT6f7uzZd4k
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAbmGHQG1Bz7
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAwjtZ64VxRS
"You guys go right now 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAL5yNVHPHFo
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAfjyAYBEh2g
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAm5ZEWOmBRp
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.1017Please respect copyright.PENANARMcbsDTGsN
"Because I need you around."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAl9a5b2C3ph
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAyoicB3sd7Z
Seungyoon and his group 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAdGUtme8TLS
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWITvRAyXjC
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAChObi4rdNp
for ten minutes.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA5DDlJNeXMC
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANARU8M5zsXue
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAZLX7qTQjjZ
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAOvWuG0X7ke
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAts1v6Ts0Vj
"So if you guys are 1017Please respect copyright.PENANARwZ11ZMlPU
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAo8nO4BQSEe
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAbxBGrofEpj
"Why do you ask?" I asked.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAMcixDOJX8n
"You guys can't just 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAkxOgKH7kSZ
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAKS8XileARW
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAG6xykMkIdm
managers will find out what's going on."1017Please respect copyright.PENANA10dYJKmRJx
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.1017Please respect copyright.PENANASxfMitQO4X
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8sVnMqon1V
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAbZVPve6kmb
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQEPuI3Cyrh
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."1017Please respect copyright.PENANANLsqlYXiTw
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAF4nMf2C4BY
The others quickly 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAVnqsfbeY6e
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 1017Please respect copyright.PENANADmoBewfDAX
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAfckZMrQpki
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAu6SlYPy7T8
worried that they might have hit their heads.1017Please respect copyright.PENANApMbEgxsDLk
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAD55HDlPkNj
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAQT1bDHK4se
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAXYt0WJQCks
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA3qkdvggyj4
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA57lZWmD4SH
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"1017Please respect copyright.PENANAYt83PtHHFu
As soon as I turned 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAHNH1v78IZB
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the1017Please respect copyright.PENANAfjUpfrJTX9
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAWYVMVQSYAf
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 1017Please respect copyright.PENANApHSIM4BfcR
behind me paused ready for the worst.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAYSaniB7QOL
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.1017Please respect copyright.PENANANgwAtCmXJP
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."1017Please respect copyright.PENANAxmAD5MZqRo
"Well, this day just got1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2qAsxWNGvF
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about1017Please respect copyright.PENANA2pLB1U34Jm
it. I couldn't blame him for that.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAV6pOBCq6dD
Coming out of the 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAaL5NAIKUzC
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAR3OB9WV4vP
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 1017Please respect copyright.PENANApB0cBG5v0f
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.1017Please respect copyright.PENANAywzTBA2VkA
I felt like I had stood 1017Please respect copyright.PENANAYcnCITZS5x
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged1017Please respect copyright.PENANA4qlYUEAjXA
me on the shoulder to get my attention.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA4dASdxtk0E
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.1017Please respect copyright.PENANArKQI3uxeuU
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.1017Please respect copyright.PENANA8SXgZwMq8i
