“It’s just a sprain that will heal in a day or two,” said the handsome, male Korean doctor who wore a causal blue golf shirt with white chinos and matching white canvas.

“That’s good news,” said Collins feeling relieved as he turned to look at Christine who sat on the couch, with a foot on a foot supporter in front of her. She looked at him with a stoic look on her face. “Luckily, it’s nothing serious.”208Please respect copyright.PENANAaT3ScW1PqW

Before the doctor and Lee could turn around to leave the lounge, Daniel and I quickly left our spot at the entrance of the lounge and silently ran down the hall, and entered one of the rooms with the door slightly open to peak in the hall. Mike and Zoey who hid on the other side pretended as if they were approaching the elevator, looking occupied with phones in their hands.208Please respect copyright.PENANAktZIFZWrTb

“But if we keep on doing that, they will get even more upset,” I said. I turned to look at Christine. “How’s your foot? Do you need help standing up?”208Please respect copyright.PENANAIIe5q7nc0Q
208Please respect copyright.PENANA0fFv2rwCDU
208Please respect copyright.PENANAO2Tg04uTie
“No, I'm good,” said Christine. She put her foot on the foot stand on to the floor, then she slowly tried to stand on her own. She did so with little effort. “I’ll manage.” She smiled brightly.208Please respect copyright.PENANA66mdiw9iGn

In ten minutes, we were already downstairs in the cars arranged for us. The five of us Toxins, Lee and Collins were in one car while the security detail were in two other cars behind us. Collins wasn’t joking when he said they will work on security. Hopefully, it won’t be too obvious to the fans or the paparazzi, especially the paparazzi.208Please respect copyright.PENANAR2XZXMv9FQ

“Do you think Johnny will have a chance to get near us?” Daniel asked as he looked out the window, watching the people and the buildings as the car drove through town.208Please respect copyright.PENANA1nzqjzasiB
208Please respect copyright.PENANAkXR31dw1ES

208Please respect copyright.PENANAlXosta4omT

208Please respect copyright.PENANAQrzoJxHSu7
208Please respect copyright.PENANAunTDKCC7C9
“Lee’s right,” said Collins. “The issue with Jehan wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did because we didn’t take a whiff of what’s going on. We let it slide, but this time around, I don’t want any of your silly plans taking course. Is that clear?”208Please respect copyright.PENANAU8yxf37zfi
208Please respect copyright.PENANA7cprpu4zZx
208Please respect copyright.PENANAG8FODix9SR
The five of us exchanged looks. Lee and Collins are really on to us now. They don’t have to worry, though. We already decided not to do anything about it.208Please respect copyright.PENANA9UYvieGnOv

208Please respect copyright.PENANAKF1NIHhksd

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

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:208Please respect copyright.PENANAq0pwishYVJ
208Please respect copyright.PENANAu3KBKbzrbh
208Please respect copyright.PENANA6pY2e9oI6P

208Please respect copyright.PENANArdUNX4YaKX

There came a knock at the door. We told the person to come in. It's Lee, and she came in with someone: Bang Yong-guk.208Please respect copyright.PENANAhEkJ4znbko
208Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1KiQOQU8I
208Please respect copyright.PENANAtxl6gmTZcr
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.208Please respect copyright.PENANAoGXnVM06sk
208Please respect copyright.PENANApImyXwVuuR
208Please respect copyright.PENANAPU1CslPqUg
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.208Please respect copyright.PENANAnBjH0ElwE3
208Please respect copyright.PENANAsq0URaT2cx
208Please respect copyright.PENANAgrQYqoUltb
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.208Please respect copyright.PENANALv8w5o9MZV
208Please respect copyright.PENANAXb0bCLsy64
208Please respect copyright.PENANAQFt3dTwm9j

208Please respect copyright.PENANAPZPUxTMOju
208Please respect copyright.PENANAjP6tkebsF8
"Hi, Yong-guk," I said as I stood up from my seat and also approached. "For a second there I thought you weren't coming."208Please respect copyright.PENANAoqUbVscCrq
208Please respect copyright.PENANAhcThf42AhW
208Please respect copyright.PENANAdGluGiGBY6
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.208Please respect copyright.PENANABtLQDtjCwd
208Please respect copyright.PENANAGThLVdvIIn
208Please respect copyright.PENANAc34QkrJvYb
I felt someone quickly rush up to me standing by my side. And in the process, pushing me a little. I held my ground so that I wouldn't find myself falling over.208Please respect copyright.PENANAiGTS1UjEHB
208Please respect copyright.PENANAFT8brsFG5v
208Please respect copyright.PENANA7rj4lVXCcs
"Hello," Seunghoon greeted Yong-guk in Korean. I raised an eyebrow as I realised that he had his arm around my neck. I didn't want to admit what I'm seeing, but it couldn't be helped. Was he trying to mark his territory when he didn't have one?208Please respect copyright.PENANAMCtquUGIqU
208Please respect copyright.PENANAu0DQT50yUE
208Please respect copyright.PENANAzFdWJ4Af8w
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.208Please respect copyright.PENANAk88keAIFKY
208Please respect copyright.PENANA41VzjJye9O
208Please respect copyright.PENANAiOwakMRFSY
Everyone else came over to greet Yong-guk. Lee told us to settle down for the managers and the music producer assigned to help with our album will be arriving any time soon. We did likewise. And members from both Blackpink and WINNER couldn’t help but ask Bang Yong-guk some questions about the song.208Please respect copyright.PENANAbr4j6hRKGG
208Please respect copyright.PENANAkSt86cwgfE
208Please respect copyright.PENANABObdaJOFbX

208Please respect copyright.PENANAlB5myTI8Lk
"I just want to ask how you were able to come up with your amazing songs," said Mino.208Please respect copyright.PENANAEK9b9ahy26
208Please respect copyright.PENANAblAfpZFKaz
208Please respect copyright.PENANAPpQRFivuJu
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.208Please respect copyright.PENANAYZnHEEwcid
208Please respect copyright.PENANABWlAWXxiVF
208Please respect copyright.PENANAkSnzSNSBFV
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.208Please respect copyright.PENANAsi1eMXtQiB
208Please respect copyright.PENANAwLzLfhZwkx
208Please respect copyright.PENANAwi8l2lorMH
"You don’t have to worry about him," said Seunghoon as he leaned in a little closer on my shoulder. "He can take care of himself."208Please respect copyright.PENANAEsrYzLLj82
208Please respect copyright.PENANAaQZSQFivY8
208Please respect copyright.PENANAdxp3rZbj58
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.208Please respect copyright.PENANABzONTC49Vh
208Please respect copyright.PENANAmdmciSBdi7
208Please respect copyright.PENANAEWXj4fjGn3
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."208Please respect copyright.PENANAbYIo7kM0aq
208Please respect copyright.PENANAu3U2PrkkKp
208Please respect copyright.PENANAsYjvMKvjAZ
"Not when I’m around," said Lee who stood in the corner of the room. For a minute there we forgot that she is still around.208Please respect copyright.PENANAe3uBp0oInx
208Please respect copyright.PENANAhZrhr9pE1k
208Please respect copyright.PENANA9u0Lg6voER
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.208Please respect copyright.PENANAfeyKfdnwTo
208Please respect copyright.PENANA94pGGFzOoP
208Please respect copyright.PENANA4adYFhVRAi
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."208Please respect copyright.PENANAY5vNKzx8eZ
208Please respect copyright.PENANAJFU3Q9ni2R
208Please respect copyright.PENANAcRIp6jqIhM
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.208Please respect copyright.PENANAMbN0t16bW4
208Please respect copyright.PENANArLpgyFnPWX
208Please respect copyright.PENANAMRR0BD4Ugz
Lee gave them a look that made them stare at the floor. The managers better get here soon. I could tell just how anxious everyone is that they can’t wait to hear the song.208Please respect copyright.PENANA0789HNSjZV
208Please respect copyright.PENANAAAW5UZyERe
208Please respect copyright.PENANAKuyEybnmpD
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.208Please respect copyright.PENANAe2n2Ln3A3C
208Please respect copyright.PENANA3PxaD9WAHm
208Please respect copyright.PENANA2KjtmNzzRG
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."208Please respect copyright.PENANABg5Nt20Ffy
208Please respect copyright.PENANAk3XgheGeTO
208Please respect copyright.PENANAEstbATvEDl
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."208Please respect copyright.PENANAQHUfPKCIS2
208Please respect copyright.PENANA5y5eEusaES
208Please respect copyright.PENANAujHcGvCicq
We didn’t have to wait any further as there came a knock at the door and Lee told whoever was there to come in. The two managers and a man who I think is the producer, walked into the room. We all stood up and bowed our heads.208Please respect copyright.PENANAnPkXjm8OQN
208Please respect copyright.PENANARaVrvT5EMu
208Please respect copyright.PENANAMKTSaUAiuO
"Sit down everyone," Yang Hyun-suk instructed and we did likewise. "I see everyone is here. I’m also happy to welcome our visitor, Bang Yong-guk."208Please respect copyright.PENANAHrNDfsyvuw
208Please respect copyright.PENANAXyqLyDEa7Z
208Please respect copyright.PENANA3a62wwRHCA
Bang Yong-guk stood up from his seat and bowed to the managers and the producer. He also thanked them for inviting him to the studio. Yang Hyun-suk also introduced the man who stood beside Collins as the producer who will help out with the album.208Please respect copyright.PENANAAVq6WQWExK
208Please respect copyright.PENANA9u4SPmCWx5
208Please respect copyright.PENANAdhzqOHgd4t
"Okay, without further ado, we can dive right to what we came here to do," said Yang Hyun-suk. He started to make his way to the console and the music booth.208Please respect copyright.PENANAmY9DmbnKEl
208Please respect copyright.PENANA6SGn7Ot38F
208Please respect copyright.PENANAfvD0cV3U6R
When we stood up to follow the manager and the producer, I couldn’t help but stay still while the rest went on ahead. I didn’t even realise that Bang Yong-guk still stood beside me until he spoke.208Please respect copyright.PENANAewaixB6iZG
208Please respect copyright.PENANArW21MVixTT
208Please respect copyright.PENANA5jPMx2akG1
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.208Please respect copyright.PENANAkI4qmwvYjo
208Please respect copyright.PENANANowNzcRuAe
208Please respect copyright.PENANAnR1ynJRoeH
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"208Please respect copyright.PENANAzReFmCVYMu
208Please respect copyright.PENANAaBHahH3uDi
208Please respect copyright.PENANAJtFguQVamn
He held my shoulders to turn me so I could look at him. I didn't expect him to be so close, and looking at him, straight on like this made me blush.208Please respect copyright.PENANA06QllLa9NP
208Please respect copyright.PENANAhl6FuSElys
208Please respect copyright.PENANAom8dhL09da
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.208Please respect copyright.PENANAlTatfmAbtN
208Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ7V0zCjqq
208Please respect copyright.PENANAfKftYwVI15
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:208Please respect copyright.PENANAgED3LTbyUR
208Please respect copyright.PENANAP6SjP5O8tn
208Please respect copyright.PENANAaGRMj7zxlP
"Yes, I do."208Please respect copyright.PENANAuf4V1viW2G
208Please respect copyright.PENANAwQImTSuAW7
208Please respect copyright.PENANAHX7onWDMz3
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.208Please respect copyright.PENANAsh5RgBJMI7
208Please respect copyright.PENANATS0LQI1Ovl
208Please respect copyright.PENANANEqpIClZeM
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.208Please respect copyright.PENANA6EttjV48F2
208Please respect copyright.PENANArxOYM16J66
208Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ67w9gBiz
His warm hand around mine assured me that I shouldn't worry about what’s going to happen with the song. Even if the managers weren't going to like it, it's going to be okay.208Please respect copyright.PENANAW5y2gSxGxZ
208Please respect copyright.PENANAlj9B6L845E
208Please respect copyright.PENANAEJzzdLmPAO
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
