"Let's do it in 5, 6, 7, 8,..."975Please respect copyright.PENANA1IpxfY4QfD
975Please respect copyright.PENANAsJfzX5inUC
Together, we moved our feet to the rhythm of the beat. We moved our bodies from side to side, clapped our hands, and turned around. In a coordinated manner, we switched positions, still in rhythm with the beat. We continued to dance until the music stopped.975Please respect copyright.PENANAScLEEQvbMB
975Please respect copyright.PENANA67gBugNm94
"Okay, that's good. Shall we do it again?" I asked through heavy breaths.975Please respect copyright.PENANAI2XqZCTBW8
975Please respect copyright.PENANArVZI5izYPe
"Yeah," Zoey replied as she wiped her sweaty forehead with the back of her hand.975Please respect copyright.PENANAM8Uk4TYZsF
975Please respect copyright.PENANA4QqLR0ck1v
The others nodded in agreement. I went over to the stereo, which lay a few feet away from us, and hit the play button. I quickly joined the others, and we continued with dance practise. After a few rounds, we took a break.975Please respect copyright.PENANA2iVbawZL7Y
975Please respect copyright.PENANAfh07fcENnU
"Phew! I'm so tired," said Daniel as he grabbed a water bottle from his training bag.975Please respect copyright.PENANAcZmBhF2sZ2
975Please respect copyright.PENANArnUX7GoZau
"I know, but we've got to get back to our usual routine," I said as I grabbed my towel, "or else we would all get lazy."975Please respect copyright.PENANAOEogQX8zpK
975Please respect copyright.PENANAkSvdwKWEMy
Back home, we would wake up early in the morning on specific days and go to our dance studio for practise. It's a way of keeping ourselves in shape and also coming up with new dance moves. Collins always came to check up on us to see if we were doing so. He had booked the gym for us to practise in yesterday, so we woke up early and came before opening time to avoid unwanted attention from the fans.975Please respect copyright.PENANAUR4JTfWmu8
975Please respect copyright.PENANAmvbnu4fyoX
"It's good we're doing this again," said Zoey, after taking in water from her bottle. "We had been so busy last week that I missed dance practise."975Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ2uYRtQhK
975Please respect copyright.PENANA2hEeInvRkI
"Okay, guys," came Collins' voice. We turned to see him approach us. "You can wrap up now. We've got to go to YG Entertainment Studios."975Please respect copyright.PENANARVCfn629Br
975Please respect copyright.PENANASzcZPrIFYM
"Oh, yes!" Christine exclaimed. "We finally get to go there."975Please respect copyright.PENANAuPoPGe99hT
975Please respect copyright.PENANA0QB1k9l8jh
"Why are you so excited?" Mike asked her, looking surprised like the rest of us over her reaction.975Please respect copyright.PENANAYWB5vvQrmr
975Please respect copyright.PENANAguQs3UduxR
"Guys, don't you get it?" Christine asked. "We're going to the YG studios."975Please respect copyright.PENANAqIn9g1mOY2
975Please respect copyright.PENANATwA62kxiNH
"So?" Daniel asked, shrugging his shoulders.975Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ9AAHwrCo
975Please respect copyright.PENANAbrac3zCngL
"Oh, my goodness," Christine said, slapping her forehead with her hand. "Do I really need to explain everything? Since we're going to the studios, we get to meet the YG family, like PSY and many others."975Please respect copyright.PENANA3afMhchRxL
975Please respect copyright.PENANAjxXLvZQdwI
"Oh, yeah, that never crossed my mind," said Zoey. "Why didn't you remind me, Christine?"975Please respect copyright.PENANA2AwP1GDY5B
975Please respect copyright.PENANAmgjUm8PT9f
"Don't blame me," Christine defended herself. "You, Zoey, have the knack for these kinds of things. I thought you already knew."975Please respect copyright.PENANAv2sDj0TET0
975Please respect copyright.PENANApX1UQTfK2r
"This will be awesome," said Daniel. "I can't wait to meet PSY in person and do the Gangnam Style with him."975Please respect copyright.PENANAiEKFvdkI0T
975Please respect copyright.PENANAR1D8voIxy3
"Well, to be honest, we all want to meet PSY," I said, "so let's hit the showers and get ready."975Please respect copyright.PENANA0wZsPbh4LH
975Please respect copyright.PENANAEdJKgqlfEv
"I thought you would never say that," said Collins. "You've got twenty minutes. Lee and I will be waiting outside."975Please respect copyright.PENANAoxlCXHKH0P
975Please respect copyright.PENANAm46ZH4bPdB
"Twenty minutes!" Zoey whined. "We're going to the YG studios; at least give some of us time to look good."975Please respect copyright.PENANAgv8yNtwtlJ
975Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0fg94UORY
"Okay, twenty-five," said Collins, giving her a cocky smile. Zoey's jaw dropped. "You better hurry. You don't want to be late."975Please respect copyright.PENANAyyQ5CgoIBY
975Please respect copyright.PENANA2PjazjrmQT
Before Zoey could object, Collins started to walk away. I looked at her and prayed that she wasn't going to throw a tantrum. Collins always knew how to get to her, something that I found very difficult to do.975Please respect copyright.PENANA7OUSzHtHXX
975Please respect copyright.PENANAosIs19hgrU
"No fair!" said Zoey as she stomped her foot hard onto the floor.975Please respect copyright.PENANAbUJoBEsgbi
975Please respect copyright.PENANA1Gr33zNTon
Ah-oh. Here we go.975Please respect copyright.PENANAznUwsZCNgX
975Please respect copyright.PENANAXOJdRgZELA
"Zoey, relax," said Christine. "We've got twenty-five minutes. You rush to the showers. Sam and I will get your stuff."975Please respect copyright.PENANAuqKQeWvaK9
975Please respect copyright.PENANACnEXwgvTOt
"Fine." Zoey rolled her eyes and dashed out of the room.975Please respect copyright.PENANAEMCdKCLPfS
975Please respect copyright.PENANAwMZXtISApe
"Girls are so complicated when it comes to getting ready," said Mike as he swung his training bag over his shoulder and started heading for the showers with Daniel tailing behind him.975Please respect copyright.PENANA1pU0o5TOrQ
975Please respect copyright.PENANAI9njQpI2pR
"Trust me, you've no idea," I said.975Please respect copyright.PENANAGpUjddZQUX
975Please respect copyright.PENANA5fQ9g76di8
As I grabbed my things to put them away in my training bag. I felt my phone vibrate inside my bag. I took it in my hands and unlocked it to check. There are a bunch of unanswered messages. I had so much fun yesterday that I didn't have time to read them. Likewise, I made a mental note to make time to do so today.975Please respect copyright.PENANAxoQELUxD7L
975Please respect copyright.PENANANRvIMNWmwK
I went to the message that I received seconds before. It's from Taeyang. Taeyang? I never gave Taeyang my number. Either Daniel or Mike must have given it to him. I read his message, which said:975Please respect copyright.PENANATmdzzEdnGi
975Please respect copyright.PENANAygMCwXQJzs
"Morning, Sam, it's Tae here. I hope you had a lovely night. I was wondering if you saw something online on social media that might surprise you. Here's a link to check it out: http://..........."975Please respect copyright.PENANAGhmiB0CtQS
975Please respect copyright.PENANA6X9eIMnN8D
This made me furrow my eyebrows a little. I know I've been the talk of the town lately, but Taeyang's message gave me goosebumps. The link belonged to a famous entertainment magazine. Hopefully, they didn't say anything bad about me. If it was something serious, Collins would've known by now and told me about it. I decided to check it out.975Please respect copyright.PENANASkT2Er8qKS
975Please respect copyright.PENANAiQhyI1dKif
"Hey, Sam? Are you coming?" Christine called as she stood by the door, waiting for me with both her bag and Zoey's. "We better go; we don't have much time."975Please respect copyright.PENANAAq8jqNRBWi
975Please respect copyright.PENANAXiTPtSS4pT
I sighed in frustration. On one hand, I had to get ready, and on the other, there's this link I wanted to press to see what Taeyang's talking about. I dropped my phone in the bag and quickly followed Christine to the showers.975Please respect copyright.PENANA4ralETgU0r
975Please respect copyright.PENANA7XLAeGsvRg
Within our given twenty-five minutes, we were all dressed up and ready to go. Even Zoey was on time. As we were heading out, a few people had arrived since it was time for the gym to open. When they saw us, they ran after us with excitement. We quickly ran out of the building. Luckily, our bodyguards, who stood by the doors, blocked the way when we got out to prevent the fans from reaching us. We found Collins and Lee waiting in the car. The driver started the engine and sped away before the fans could even get close.975Please respect copyright.PENANASigr0toQ9c
975Please respect copyright.PENANAwKa2KdiI8U
"Looks like you guys made it out in time," said Lee. "For a moment there, I thought they were going to get you."975Please respect copyright.PENANArgtjzPL5pQ
975Please respect copyright.PENANAlMjX8XeQJr
"We go through these things almost all the time," said Mike. "It's no big deal when you know the fans love you."975Please respect copyright.PENANAE0IWQiMvo8
975Please respect copyright.PENANA97ZReoVwgw
While everyone was engaged in the conversation, I took the chance to check my phone to read Taeyang's message again, staring at the link that came along with it. I don't want to know what the media has been saying about me. Likewise, I've been trying to avoid reading any online newspaper, magazine, or media posts since we got here. For Taeyang to send me this, something's up.975Please respect copyright.PENANAOaV9rZ6Wi2
975Please respect copyright.PENANAS97843H6iT
My thumb automatically pressed the link, and the internet page started to load. I looked around to see if anyone was looking, then went back to my phone again. The page had finished loading, and the online front cover of Elle Korean Magazine is the first thing I see. It had my smiling face on it, and what I read on the cover almost made me faint. It read:975Please respect copyright.PENANAESudgUt58K
975Please respect copyright.PENANAgCOXyMIk7S
"The Astonishing Samantha Glasson: The One Who Stole The Hearts of Many Koreans."975Please respect copyright.PENANAI7VHvcy1JY
975Please respect copyright.PENANAsPCUGMzgWF
"Huh!?"975Please respect copyright.PENANAYpkO5mEsOk
975Please respect copyright.PENANAEXyZls9ydN
Everyone turned to look at me, and I quickly covered my mouth. It just slipped out; I couldn't hold it.975Please respect copyright.PENANA3T7sAKWQpD
975Please respect copyright.PENANACPWbzg6Bhz
"Hey, are you okay?" Zoey asked. "Did someone send you one of those messages or something?"975Please respect copyright.PENANAbDaH5Ej0A4
975Please respect copyright.PENANAAtZxHcPuTl
"Um... did anyone get the chance to see the cover of the Korean Elle magazine today?" I asked.975Please respect copyright.PENANAvDFoJJ1d4l
975Please respect copyright.PENANAtbeBzUWIuv
"What? Elle? No, I didn't," said Zoey. "Let me see."975Please respect copyright.PENANAHXVtReuWgI
975Please respect copyright.PENANABp4rjAUm30
I gave Zoey my phone, and she looked just as shocked. Everyone got a turn to look, except Collins and Lee.975Please respect copyright.PENANAlz6b5vG9wm
975Please respect copyright.PENANAIx46KKMZHq
"We already knew about it this morning," said Lee. "We wanted it to be a surprise."975Please respect copyright.PENANAa8iSDfxC7G
975Please respect copyright.PENANAJ75JRNPAtR
"Wait... did you tell Taeyang to send this to me?" I asked.975Please respect copyright.PENANAokZ2KpU0fl
975Please respect copyright.PENANARND5ECqHqu
"No, we didn't," said Collins. "If we wanted it to look like a surprise, we would've planned something else. We wanted you to see it for yourself."975Please respect copyright.PENANAV3TCPEh0s1
975Please respect copyright.PENANAeRYn2bcNzY
"You're so lucky, Sam," said Christine. "To be honest, everyone has been talking about you from the time we got here and also when we went out on tour."975Please respect copyright.PENANAKmI45IzJgY
975Please respect copyright.PENANAwMmFubqCZo
"You've been keeping tabs on that?" I asked.975Please respect copyright.PENANATbTwcMuKo4
975Please respect copyright.PENANALIJZ8PtXkq
"Well, yeah, some of us have," answered Mike.975Please respect copyright.PENANAJc4pNOAGpz
975Please respect copyright.PENANAzcPq3uXhzX
"It looks like you guys are better off than I am. I sometimes don't go online and see what's going on."975Please respect copyright.PENANAcMAljuJ7A7
975Please respect copyright.PENANA7lQvy9Q8Ii
"That's because you don't like all the attention," said Zoey. "If I were you, I would feel like a queen."975Please respect copyright.PENANApgtOasxEhi
975Please respect copyright.PENANA7W2y2g44t3
"Well, thank goodness Sam isn't like you," said Daniel. "If she were... who knows?"975Please respect copyright.PENANABjC47G5rur
975Please respect copyright.PENANA5VAIUmMqpx
"Do you mean to say I wouldn't make a good leader?" Zoey asked, looking furious. "That pretty much sounds like it."975Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ9fFYfsit
975Please respect copyright.PENANA9PwNp9Rrmq
"Everyone here can all be leaders. Sam's just better at it."975Please respect copyright.PENANA6TFO5nGCGE
975Please respect copyright.PENANAZhXqLJzAl2
"I agree with Daniel," said Collins.975Please respect copyright.PENANAg0FyxkaH2d
975Please respect copyright.PENANA7MvHZ1ztnl
"Ahh!" Zoey exclaimed as though she were in pain. She placed her hand on her chest. "My heart is broken!"975Please respect copyright.PENANAbTGQIA6XaU
975Please respect copyright.PENANAwIVfZZyUyr
"You're such a drama queen," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "You make everything seem melodramatic."975Please respect copyright.PENANAb3sCV0ZE3L
975Please respect copyright.PENANAwR1GA8Vlbv
"Yeah, that's why you need me around," said Zoey.975Please respect copyright.PENANAXXiiw6F4vR
975Please respect copyright.PENANAxQiUoRH0g2
"We all need each other, no matter what."975Please respect copyright.PENANASiTitbZaDX
975Please respect copyright.PENANA1cpCMenvxU
"Guys, you won't believe what I'm seeing right now," said Lee.975Please respect copyright.PENANA4IjzxIwSlS
975Please respect copyright.PENANAQjdn8zdzTy
We all looked in front of us as the car pulled up at the front gates of a building. The YG Entertainment building; we were finally here!975Please respect copyright.PENANAJGo0lLPn5h
975Please respect copyright.PENANARKcGZsPlGs
"OMG, this building looks huge," said Christine. "Well, kind of. For an entertainment company, that is."975Please respect copyright.PENANAY9fnujNr9l
975Please respect copyright.PENANATHm0vyFlt0
"Guys, do I look great?" Zoey asked, sounding nervous and running her hands through her hair. "I want to make a good impression when we go in."975Please respect copyright.PENANAaIb2zcCQOX
975Please respect copyright.PENANAa3DmglSodZ
"You look fine," I said. "You worry about looks for no reason."975Please respect copyright.PENANA8jxrGbfcrD
975Please respect copyright.PENANA9SZJi69R1J
"Easy for you to say. You don't have to worry because you naturally look good."975Please respect copyright.PENANArTe4MHVuIm
975Please respect copyright.PENANAv5GGJJY1rG
"Wait... for real?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow.975Please respect copyright.PENANAo104vZgJ30
975Please respect copyright.PENANAeRCHyJtln7
"You really should read what people say about you online," said Zoey, rolling her eyes at me.975Please respect copyright.PENANAsENjXo0JDF
975Please respect copyright.PENANAy0dvNCWbxw
"I'll try to do so."975Please respect copyright.PENANAG5d6NU9lRv
975Please respect copyright.PENANAA6Jt3lRrrJ
"Yeah, and I'll make sure that you do."975Please respect copyright.PENANALixk5yoA0c
975Please respect copyright.PENANAx2y1p2kDqG
While Zoey and I continued our conversation, the car entered the YG premises and stopped in front of the building. We hadn't even noticed until Collins looked at us and said:975Please respect copyright.PENANAXKVg8hYXkc
975Please respect copyright.PENANA7jKicgwKUe
"Can you two save your little chitchat for later? It's time to go."975Please respect copyright.PENANA8RMmMe7hzO
975Please respect copyright.PENANAmGnB6jTJ9i
"Oh," said Zoey as she looked out of the window.975Please respect copyright.PENANAAE8UrX5Z8i
975Please respect copyright.PENANAaHFyJGwoPb
When we all got out of the car, we found Yang Hyun-suk waiting for us at the entrance.975Please respect copyright.PENANAhZUsLSNeEi
975Please respect copyright.PENANAtylfruxEO1
"Hello, everyone. I'm glad you could make it," said Yang Hyun-suk as he shook Collins' hand.975Please respect copyright.PENANA67z9cJYH32
975Please respect copyright.PENANAKB5dASKPcs
"Thank you for having us," said Collins.975Please respect copyright.PENANAjAUJRC5qWY
975Please respect copyright.PENANA5WhIzvxu0H
"Follow me, please. I'll show you around."975Please respect copyright.PENANAhhzkUUpa87
975Please respect copyright.PENANA0X12gR6BwG
We followed Yang Hyun-suk into the building. The lobby looked formal yet exquisite. We even met a few young male trainees who were making their way out of the building. Many entertainment agencies take them in because they might make a name for themselves in the music industry someday.975Please respect copyright.PENANAzaN1Jsk91F
975Please respect copyright.PENANAiXRNQsQhUy
When the trainees saw us, they bowed their heads as a sign of respect. I could tell they were excited to see us, but they had to keep it under wraps in front of Yang Hyun-suk. Was he that strict, or is that how things are around here? I am aware of their culture, so bowing to their elders is a sign of respect. Maybe I shouldn't dwell on it so much.975Please respect copyright.PENANApGq6XO8eYq
975Please respect copyright.PENANAGJjL4QOytv
We soon went upstairs, where we found a number of recording rooms. We even met a few music producers who were so kind and welcoming. Likewise, we soon found ourselves walking down the hall to the dance studios that were on the other side of the building.975Please respect copyright.PENANAjNMw1Y5l6m
975Please respect copyright.PENANAVcWpGhUm1E
We found many trainees with their choreographers in almost every room, practising. There was an all-girls' group that noticed us pass by first. They stopped what they were doing as they came out of the room they were practising in and shrieked in excitement. They came over to us and bowed their heads, greeting us as they giggled. Furthermore, they were dying to hug us, so Zoey and I went along and hugged one of them. Likewise, they screamed like crazy.975Please respect copyright.PENANAcoVSxvSSyP
975Please respect copyright.PENANArB1EORsben
The screaming caught so much attention that many other trainees walked out of their studios and came over to meet us.975Please respect copyright.PENANALvckEMqSBI
975Please respect copyright.PENANAIacM18OuXS
The next thing we knew, Yang Hyun-suk told the trainees to quiet down and get back to training. All the trainees quickly obeyed and slowly went back into their respective dance studios. Wow, these guys were well-disciplined, or was my previous hunch about Yang Hyun-suk true?975Please respect copyright.PENANAKcYiHtku5y
975Please respect copyright.PENANAYQT25apMnR
"These guys are well-disciplined," I heard Lee whisper to Collins behind me.975Please respect copyright.PENANAxiMzyNXxZ1
975Please respect copyright.PENANAirfxLD8pdN
"Sorry for the inconvenience," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned to address us. "They could be a little out of control sometimes."975Please respect copyright.PENANA99D862YTGJ
975Please respect copyright.PENANAhEEzHfKGBE
"Out of control?" Collins asked and raised an eyebrow. "Your trainees are well-behaved. If it comes to The Toxins, they are the ones out of control."975Please respect copyright.PENANAhjVIjh8EyU
975Please respect copyright.PENANAxX7l1XLrKM
"Hey!" The five of us all looked at him with annoyed looks on our faces.975Please respect copyright.PENANAphm7gWcGZD
975Please respect copyright.PENANATajj7kyi6e
Yang Hyun-suk laughed. Collins rolled his eyes at us. "You see what I mean? No respect for me at all."975Please respect copyright.PENANAW81nszEu6q
975Please respect copyright.PENANA0pNNrJyPba
"We do respect you, Collins," said Zoey with a sweet voice and a smile. "And we love you too."975Please respect copyright.PENANAqBf89LyHBp
975Please respect copyright.PENANALKONBdgGGr
"The only person who respects me is Sam," said Collins. "The rest of you are just crazy."975Please respect copyright.PENANAeFewVo9cqG
975Please respect copyright.PENANAlkpZJRGFjD
"Crazy?" Zoey's voice went a little high there. "Come on, Collins. You can at least find a better word than that."975Please respect copyright.PENANAtEi7GXGVrN
975Please respect copyright.PENANARHKVV3xKv3
"We do have a lot of respect for you," said Daniel. "We just trouble you because we love you."975Please respect copyright.PENANAo46TobgQTy
975Please respect copyright.PENANAXxkJ93Bz4c
"That's cute," said Yang Hyun-suk, with a smile on his face.975Please respect copyright.PENANATEeNOplzz1
975Please respect copyright.PENANAktpDhxYxMz
"Don't mind them. These little arguments happen all the time," said Lee to Yang Hyun-suk.975Please respect copyright.PENANA6KRAwPBibQ
975Please respect copyright.PENANAelscRQOFQb
"Yep, all the time," I said with a nod.975Please respect copyright.PENANAqFumik6eqQ
975Please respect copyright.PENANAYzBFLVcaTz
Daniel looked down the hall and said, "Hey, look, here comes Taeyang."975Please respect copyright.PENANAg6sHwulGf6
975Please respect copyright.PENANAlMwhxtjdNK
Everyone turned to see Taeyang come down the hall. Judging by the way he's dressed, he looks like he came straight out of dance practise. He had a black vest on with a matching black tracksuit. He also had a towel around his neck. Likewise, he looked worn out and sweaty.975Please respect copyright.PENANAJhQw3aitO5
975Please respect copyright.PENANAkpmfgpqYHo
As he approached us, I couldn't help but stare. He has such an awesome physique, and I could clearly see his abs through his vest. I couldn't help but blush. I wanted to look away, but I couldn't. Darn it! Why can't I look away?975Please respect copyright.PENANApvczgxAzaK
975Please respect copyright.PENANAlhVVeJZTKh
"Wow, if I had known sooner, I would've been drooling over Taeyang," said Zoey as she whispered in my ear. "He's so hot!"975Please respect copyright.PENANAFoPOzCBI3I
975Please respect copyright.PENANAlGtRsUGZ8R
"I know, right?" Christine whispered back. "Not only is he hot, he is so cute."975Please respect copyright.PENANAes21pL9FTf
975Please respect copyright.PENANABIyAuZNeJp
"I was wondering what the racket was all about," said Taeyang when he finally got close. "The Toxins are in the building."975Please respect copyright.PENANABtYxtdO9mu
975Please respect copyright.PENANAeENmj2Pm7y
"Yeah," said Zoey, giving Taeyang a weird giggle. I looked at her and raised my eyebrow. Zoey noticed and lowered her head.975Please respect copyright.PENANAXY950lSX8G
975Please respect copyright.PENANAa1S7PgisMZ
"Hello, everyone," he greeted, and to Yang Hyun-suk, he bowed his head. The bowing head thing is going to take some getting used to.975Please respect copyright.PENANAW3obV93p0g
975Please respect copyright.PENANAz58vFYb5sy
"Oh, Sam, I almost forgot," said Taeyang as he turned to look at me, giving me his cute eye smile. "Congratulations on making it in Elle magazine. You did check it out, right?"975Please respect copyright.PENANAI5GiEKmBX7
975Please respect copyright.PENANAXFIg6PZeEJ
"Um... yeah, I did, thanks," I said with a smile, trying to hide my blushing cheeks.975Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gqu9rtEog
975Please respect copyright.PENANAJLf8uftvlm
"I'm coordinating dance practise with some trainees," said Taeyang. "Would you mind joining us? They would be thrilled to have you."975Please respect copyright.PENANAe7rB96AFnD
975Please respect copyright.PENANAcXCIWZqLJ2
"I wouldn't mind, right guys?" I asked the others.975Please respect copyright.PENANAbAdjgCl880
975Please respect copyright.PENANAoXJrxd9oF4
"Sure," they responded.975Please respect copyright.PENANA55PbhSrr4C
975Please respect copyright.PENANAmKLYnzwpjI
"And if it's okay with Collins and Yang Hyun-suk," I said as I looked over at both managers, waiting for their response.975Please respect copyright.PENANAWUZkhkc6Pi
975Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ2cEJFG3r
Yang Hyun-suk smiled at me and said, "Well, I'm impressed with your respectful gesture, Sam. You've got my permission. You should call me 'Yang Sajangnim' from now on."975Please respect copyright.PENANA3thMooWoLD
975Please respect copyright.PENANAexEHeaZ6Zb
I've no words. Is he trying to discipline us too? I know he wants us to bow our heads, but I wasn't going to give him that kind of satisfaction just yet. We might not be Korean, so basic courtesy is all we can do for now. I just smiled at him and nodded.975Please respect copyright.PENANAGRhDOwnruc
975Please respect copyright.PENANA3CRHIDBxLy
My eyes flew towards Collins, and I could tell he felt the same way. I gave him an assuring look, saying that I was fine with it.975Please respect copyright.PENANAYuADRiFCeQ
975Please respect copyright.PENANAO8EAqPW9xB
"What are we waiting for?" Mike asked. "Let's go. I'm going to show the trainees that I'm a much better dancer than you, Taeyang."975Please respect copyright.PENANAgnOBuP3a21
975Please respect copyright.PENANA0bnYgyUt8s
"You're on," Taeyang said with a smirk.975Please respect copyright.PENANAZeVB2Gtjxm
975Please respect copyright.PENANAgTnds1NMyD
"This will not end well," said Christine, shaking her head.975Please respect copyright.PENANAlQsvzVysdQ
975Please respect copyright.PENANA8VFtnNTq4c
The five of us followed Taeyang to one of the dance studios, while Collins, Lee, and Yang Hyun-suk continued their way around the building.975Please respect copyright.PENANAmei0MtafbJ
975Please respect copyright.PENANA5DTv3jb0Kv
"Sorry, you had to go through that with our manager," said Taeyang as I walked beside him. "He could be a little difficult sometimes."975Please respect copyright.PENANA6gI2kOoPqP
975Please respect copyright.PENANAE7CuzUtaaA
"Yeah, I figured," I said, trying to put up a smile.975Please respect copyright.PENANA1kY6SQ1Ywm
975Please respect copyright.PENANA5FUUVMnaeo
"I know it's bad to talk about older people behind their backs," started Zoey, "but what's his problem? Does he want to turn us into Koreans or what?"975Please respect copyright.PENANAWImdVMOLX8
975Please respect copyright.PENANA0ps9lS2vuM
"Let's not talk about that," said Taeyang. "The walls have ears, you know?"975Please respect copyright.PENANA877Hd4SAdM
975Please respect copyright.PENANAAEaXMEux5b
"Great," said Daniel. "It's like we just found ourselves under the radar of Big Brother."975Please respect copyright.PENANADpiRpLySjO
975Please respect copyright.PENANAyhnectEtKR
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it," said Taeyang.975Please respect copyright.PENANAB4jHCtLhqj
975Please respect copyright.PENANAvq53tkBvqZ
When we got to one of the studio rooms, Taeyang opened the door for us, and we went in. We found a few young trainees practising. When they noticed us enter the room, they stopped what they were doing as they became excited.975Please respect copyright.PENANAQZntTC3qTt
975Please respect copyright.PENANAZmSG5XoP6e
"We've got important people here with us today," Taeyang told them. "You all know The Toxins, I presume. They would like to join us for our choreography session. Is that okay?"975Please respect copyright.PENANAa7gMHeu0ql
975Please respect copyright.PENANAh3Tk9XEG5E
The trainees responded in agreement with such enthusiasm.975Please respect copyright.PENANAvBDKjmyr8m
975Please respect copyright.PENANAnlJGPtmv9Y
"Okay, then," I said, stepping forward and standing next to Taeyang. "I guess you all know that I'm Samantha Glasson, better known as Black Kitty. I'm so excited to be amongst you guys, and I hope we'll have fun together." I went on to introduce the other Toxins. The trainees clapped while the rest of us smiled back at them.975Please respect copyright.PENANAOj937m90wt
975Please respect copyright.PENANAxGzSMYOdC9
"So, Sam, would you and your team kindly do the honours of taking the dance floor first?" Taeyang asked.975Please respect copyright.PENANAMTWjyRqywG
975Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ex2ZLSWbI
"With pleasure," I answered.975Please respect copyright.PENANA5RkOvzll6K
975Please respect copyright.PENANAR6Orrs9OHI
The trainees created space as they stood on one side of the room with Taeyang. We, The Toxins, came up and danced to one of our songs that played on the stereo. After the song had played, the trainees, including Taeyang, gave us a round of applause.975Please respect copyright.PENANAL0LkvfvOxf
975Please respect copyright.PENANAFQktGTl4aR
"Oh, thank you, thank you," said Zoey as she did a curtsy. "You're too kind."975Please respect copyright.PENANAH1hrh7u3A1
975Please respect copyright.PENANAG2XuTEn2FL
"You guys are awesome," said Taeyang as he walked up to me.975Please respect copyright.PENANA5zfLW5bacW
975Please respect copyright.PENANAgDb3RQ6l9e
"Thanks," I said in between breaths.975Please respect copyright.PENANAOKlqTPpZUx
975Please respect copyright.PENANAEG363xLGB7
Mike walked up to us and challenged Taeyang. "Come on, Taeyang. Let's go one-on-one. You and me."975Please respect copyright.PENANATjJN9YuTma
975Please respect copyright.PENANATSo8lBafrm
Taeyang smiled and nodded his head. "Sure. Let's see who is a better dancer and put this behind us once and for all."975Please respect copyright.PENANAveRULPqOcL
975Please respect copyright.PENANA5pgufj6NPT
"Are you sure you want to do this, Mike?" I asked my brother after Taeyang had walked away. "I don't think it's a good idea."975Please respect copyright.PENANAel6a2jva47
975Please respect copyright.PENANAVMVoG6zXAl
"Don't worry, sis," said Mike. "You know I'm a good dancer. I can handle him."975Please respect copyright.PENANAYstDgN819s
975Please respect copyright.PENANA7qku5npscU
Mike smiled at me and joined Taeyang. The Toxins and I went to stand with the trainees. Taeyang and Mike took the floor, and the music soon started to play. Taeyang went first to the centre and started to dance. I had to admit, he looked like a natural, and his moves were awesome. He moved aside, and Mike took over. Mike has always been considered the best dancer amongst The Toxins, and for the moment, he's doing pretty well.975Please respect copyright.PENANAl7imh1V2dE
975Please respect copyright.PENANAEUsFbGc6Tn
Some trainees were cheering for Taeyang, while we Toxins and other trainees were on Mike's side. When the song was about to end, Taeyang took to the floor and did his killer move. Damn, he's good. There's nothing Mike can do about that. The song's already over, and Taeyang stole the show.975Please respect copyright.PENANAqvw0NLH6oR
975Please respect copyright.PENANA7ts9QoYTFc
The trainees cheered for Taeyang while he and Mike gave each other a casual handshake.975Please respect copyright.PENANAkc1erZjadP
975Please respect copyright.PENANAiVAnTKHEpP
"I'm still going to get you for this, Tae," said Mike.975Please respect copyright.PENANAyjqHFceGDm
975Please respect copyright.PENANAKChIl3tixA
"Anytime, Mike," said Taeyang with a smile.975Please respect copyright.PENANAbdmVWYjaXP
975Please respect copyright.PENANABEUoBlt4Nk
"I told you going up against him was a bad idea," I said as I walked up to them.975Please respect copyright.PENANAw6F0DCTfkv
975Please respect copyright.PENANADoJTMm8RcY
"I know, I know," said Mike as he rolled his eyes. "I'll try listening to you in the future."975Please respect copyright.PENANAigPpZ01aW4
975Please respect copyright.PENANAOrVa0YB1UC
"You never do," I said as I raised my eyebrow at him, shaking my head.975Please respect copyright.PENANAlASAL9z6Lg
975Please respect copyright.PENANAVl0P4HxVsX
"Never mind. I'll leave you two." Mike left us and joined the trainees and the other Toxins as they gathered around.975Please respect copyright.PENANA7MWzlOnVA7
975Please respect copyright.PENANAySXJl3WYJI
"So, how did I do?" Taeyang asked when Mike was out of earshot.975Please respect copyright.PENANA0OTkKXPOQn
975Please respect copyright.PENANAMHgeGRK0iv
"You don't have to ask," I said. "You already know how much of a great dancer you are."975Please respect copyright.PENANAoiFOWql2tS
975Please respect copyright.PENANAvv3mcLZC00
"Just hearing that will do," Taeyang told me with an eye roll. My heartbeat quickened.975Please respect copyright.PENANAkkcrlWSyzf
975Please respect copyright.PENANAwE0HQjhY9E
"You're awesome. You look like a natural when you dance."975Please respect copyright.PENANAkcErNImD5n
975Please respect copyright.PENANAYciAeLxP0i
"Thanks. You also dance well. It looks like we were both born for this."975Please respect copyright.PENANAgNd7BUH1Aa
975Please respect copyright.PENANAyj6ltDqxQw
"Yeah, we were."975Please respect copyright.PENANAPCgFHHftqM
975Please respect copyright.PENANAV035XYka9G
"We should dance together sometime. What do you think?"975Please respect copyright.PENANANBCmibq8Y6
975Please respect copyright.PENANAhjTc0vyusD
I nodded, and I couldn't help but blush. Dancing with Taeyang? That's nice, isn't it? That question got me even more confused.975Please respect copyright.PENANAWhw3zncIpV
975Please respect copyright.PENANAtbuMkjI9wF
The next thing we knew, the door to the studio flew open. Seungri and T.O.P. came in. When Seungri saw me, he ran towards me, took me in his arms, and lifted me up from the ground. He spun me around so much that I screamed out in delight like a little girl.975Please respect copyright.PENANAQeRyMylqbo
975Please respect copyright.PENANA0PfpSHHPep
"Seungri, what's wrong with you?" I asked after he stopped spinning me around. I couldn't keep myself from laughing.975Please respect copyright.PENANAIgqTksWX4s
975Please respect copyright.PENANAk9zEavvfnU
"I heard that you made it to the front cover of Elle magazine," said Seungri. "Congratulations, my panda."975Please respect copyright.PENANAeyufBubYFD
975Please respect copyright.PENANAjgGUqTn8HI
"Aww, thanks, Seungri," I said. "I wasn't expecting this from you."975Please respect copyright.PENANA77Cm0UJCk4
975Please respect copyright.PENANAzqXTMngYYA
"You deserve it, my cutie," he said with a wide smile.975Please respect copyright.PENANAUEyo63UtTj
975Please respect copyright.PENANAESzdk74J1L
"Congratulations, Sam," said T.O.P. as he approached us. "Just like Seungri said, you truly deserve it."975Please respect copyright.PENANAG2RwQtxQhI
975Please respect copyright.PENANAoWnTTI43tG
"Thanks, T.O.P." I said with a smile.975Please respect copyright.PENANARyPEMHkeew
975Please respect copyright.PENANACjdF2nkSB3
"Since everyone is congratulating Sam over this," said Zoey as she approached us, "don't you think she needs to be rewarded or spoiled a little?"975Please respect copyright.PENANAvD7NEitfW7
975Please respect copyright.PENANA7fCNqpOnWq
"Oh, no, Zoey," I said, shaking my head at her. She obviously wanted something out of this. "I think congratulating me is more than enough."975Please respect copyright.PENANABJyIQDtXoE
975Please respect copyright.PENANAP0mlfvd41z
"What about a party?" Zoey suggested it, completely ignoring me. "Come on, it will be fun!"975Please respect copyright.PENANAUclgopxGa0
975Please respect copyright.PENANAXZsGWHG9AS
"I agree with Zoey," said Seungri. "We need to celebrate."975Please respect copyright.PENANAMuaiJyWmW3
975Please respect copyright.PENANAwbPUNU4wWd
"I don't think it's a good idea," I said. "Don't you think we can just go out and have lunch instead?"975Please respect copyright.PENANA0GNigehfDU
975Please respect copyright.PENANAfNm56LAKEq
"Bo-ring!" Zoey said it in a loud sing-song voice. "You're so not fun nowadays, Sam. A party will be awesome!"975Please respect copyright.PENANAS2bl5Nn0IR
975Please respect copyright.PENANApCoQP6jsFW
"I just think it's too soon. We just got here, and you want to throw a party because I made the cover of some magazine? That won't look right at all."975Please respect copyright.PENANAeJepgQ7tVn
975Please respect copyright.PENANAAbPb3ltDjT
"Sam's right," said Taeyang. "You've just seen how difficult Yang Hyun-suk can be. Throwing a party will look wrong, and that will bring the Netizens to criticize you."975Please respect copyright.PENANA48vLG375zM
975Please respect copyright.PENANAEQMP1gjZLH
"Ah, I forgot we've got these 'Netizens' around," said Zoey, putting a lot of emphasis on the word 'Netizens.'975Please respect copyright.PENANAJcOhQk2GgI
975Please respect copyright.PENANAaXabKm4Iue
"I'm going with Sam on this one," said Christine. "Besides Yang Hyun-suk, don't forget there's Collins too."975Please respect copyright.PENANAehf4OLpirP
975Please respect copyright.PENANA0jywVLgx8B
"Okay, fine, we'll do as Sam says," said Zoey, pouting her lip. "But you should promise me that before we go back home, we're going to have a big party."975Please respect copyright.PENANAqWBi4I52he
975Please respect copyright.PENANAhQiwWcdutN
"I promise," I assured Zoey with my hand on my chest.975Please respect copyright.PENANAxWDbjoQREU
975Please respect copyright.PENANAlbkJDAoVtm
"Alright, that's settled then," said Taeyang. "I'll go get ready and tell our managers that we'll be leaving for lunch."975Please respect copyright.PENANA8JE3fBa9B9
975Please respect copyright.PENANAamK6OiUyxQ
"Okay, thanks," I said.975Please respect copyright.PENANAyHNgfIp6AI
975Please respect copyright.PENANAHhBVagjI4H
Taeyang left the dance studio while Seungri went out to call Daesung and G-Dragon to come over for lunch. I was stuck with T.O.P., The Toxins, and the rest of the trainees.975Please respect copyright.PENANA2hJlLMkdde
975Please respect copyright.PENANA6hC37sLIRM
After Seungri made his calls, he informed us that Daesung would join us, except for G-Dragon, who's busy and won't make it. A few minutes later, Taeyang was all showered and ready to go.975Please respect copyright.PENANAH8jrC0dNCC
975Please respect copyright.PENANA5JcGl5BoWU
We left the YG premises and went to a famous pizza parlour. Daesung met us at there. Afterwards, we went out to have fun.975Please respect copyright.PENANABK5bEDNry0
975Please respect copyright.PENANAE8s4BsXCY5
***975Please respect copyright.PENANAXTOkRL2Ti3
975Please respect copyright.PENANAH5CUHRtIC8
It was already evening by the time we dropped off at the hotel and said goodbye to the BIGBANG members. We went up to our floor and found Collins and Lee waiting for us as soon as we stepped out of the elevator.975Please respect copyright.PENANAZJXKcQWJf4
975Please respect copyright.PENANA6pBytzffd2
"Hey guys," said Collins. "How was your day?"975Please respect copyright.PENANAvMgt9dUJsp
975Please respect copyright.PENANAUikqpePGBO
"It was awesome!" said Zoey with a smile on her face. "After lunch, we went around the city."975Please respect copyright.PENANAvyCvonSiMN
975Please respect copyright.PENANAsBri7mqnRL
"Don't tell me you were stuck with Yang Hyun-suk the whole day yourselves," I said.975Please respect copyright.PENANA4LJ3oNzT8j
975Please respect copyright.PENANA9i4DY4XT9M
"Yeah, about that...," started Lee as she bit her lower lip.975Please respect copyright.PENANAmkR9gHiiHX
975Please respect copyright.PENANAGZDqooLCgC
"What's wrong? When you do that, then something's up," said Daniel.975Please respect copyright.PENANAkKIs0wS8Wj
975Please respect copyright.PENANAkLIaIDgirb
"Let's sit in the lounge, please," said Collins.975Please respect copyright.PENANAPk9oXziINh
975Please respect copyright.PENANAo5TollqRv7
He led the way while we followed. There's absolutely no one in the lounge since we booked the entire floor for ourselves. We took up the empty caramel seats while Collins and Lee remained standing.975Please respect copyright.PENANAmhh7752gWl
975Please respect copyright.PENANAYfdqanQuvf
"What's wrong, Collins?" I asked.975Please respect copyright.PENANAutDyfjm7rE
975Please respect copyright.PENANA5T7XMjJsCJ
"I'm sorry to spoil your evening with what I'm about to tell you," said Collins, "but this is important."975Please respect copyright.PENANA5cRx8WVV9J
975Please respect copyright.PENANAXTjTFeT8Jv
"Oh, boy," muttered Zoey.975Please respect copyright.PENANAxcjTmN0fHq
975Please respect copyright.PENANA8HX3gAjHLA
"What I'm about to tell you might seem a little weird, and you guys might not like it. But if we really want to make a successful collaboration with BIGBANG, we've got to get used to it."975Please respect copyright.PENANAuRB1KLD2wy
975Please respect copyright.PENANAkdBxEKJyps
My heart started to race. What are we supposed to get used to now? To be honest, I don't want to know. It's already tiring enough that we always have to follow whatever the board wants back home. But now it seems we've got to follow Yang Hyun-suk's wishes too. And if we want to collaborate with BIGBANG, we've got to do whatever he says.975Please respect copyright.PENANAuLuHyNy42E
975Please respect copyright.PENANAl6t2wknZAC
"What do we have to do now, Collins?" I asked with my eyes closed, expecting the worst.
