"Let's do it in 5, 6, 7, 8,..."949Please respect copyright.PENANA5ljISHh6AT
949Please respect copyright.PENANAOpMsBlKkTD
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAm4MHobG6Ss
949Please respect copyright.PENANAv3ABMHRFi1
"Okay, that's good. Shall we do it again?" I asked through heavy breaths.949Please respect copyright.PENANAQFRsKGL1oB
949Please respect copyright.PENANAtXChFIcl5P
"Yeah," Zoey replied as she wiped her sweaty forehead with the back of her hand.949Please respect copyright.PENANA6zw8IoLkYt
949Please respect copyright.PENANAMr2nlDghVj
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAR5pi3StzO8
949Please respect copyright.PENANAbk6QURvwTv
"Phew! I'm so tired," said Daniel as he grabbed a water bottle from his training bag.949Please respect copyright.PENANABsFA6noEFq
949Please respect copyright.PENANAurFSSZ6AWz
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANAssPKClISjV
949Please respect copyright.PENANA8MjiWjeqy7
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAYXTZkEadvY
949Please respect copyright.PENANAALn4Vuu2Kb
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANACWXdhKESVt
949Please respect copyright.PENANA5aiiZc33zC
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANAEFxL2uNP0C
949Please respect copyright.PENANAsaIxy9eF2m
"Oh, yes!" Christine exclaimed. "We finally get to go there."949Please respect copyright.PENANABV2EcM2EwB
949Please respect copyright.PENANAEbzatSpCT4
"Why are you so excited?" Mike asked her, looking surprised like the rest of us over her reaction.949Please respect copyright.PENANAXdLAgYN3ZD
949Please respect copyright.PENANADnZvF7Cgzj
"Guys, don't you get it?" Christine asked. "We're going to the YG studios."949Please respect copyright.PENANA6mtKJAqYBc
949Please respect copyright.PENANAdXiu0EsPL1
"So?" Daniel asked, shrugging his shoulders.949Please respect copyright.PENANAKTNwzWWAMv
949Please respect copyright.PENANA8hFKbWWXvR
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANA3NCkhBaJH0
949Please respect copyright.PENANAZiK1rRA8FX
"Oh, yeah, that never crossed my mind," said Zoey. "Why didn't you remind me, Christine?"949Please respect copyright.PENANAWm7I7ad8Co
949Please respect copyright.PENANAVEPwXwHXov
"Don't blame me," Christine defended herself. "You, Zoey, have the knack for these kinds of things. I thought you already knew."949Please respect copyright.PENANA8jsT3nMppl
949Please respect copyright.PENANALUclY0fZmq
"This will be awesome," said Daniel. "I can't wait to meet PSY in person and do the Gangnam Style with him."949Please respect copyright.PENANAeYeYvMYTGK
949Please respect copyright.PENANA7debZVOn8L
"Well, to be honest, we all want to meet PSY," I said, "so let's hit the showers and get ready."949Please respect copyright.PENANAbG2Gs55cd8
949Please respect copyright.PENANA7F36rfdWfO
"I thought you would never say that," said Collins. "You've got twenty minutes. Lee and I will be waiting outside."949Please respect copyright.PENANAqs2n3mvrIh
949Please respect copyright.PENANA4GspIo7VMo
"Twenty minutes!" Zoey whined. "We're going to the YG studios; at least give some of us time to look good."949Please respect copyright.PENANAl3zOcfMiNc
949Please respect copyright.PENANAU4HHrADlkw
"Okay, twenty-five," said Collins, giving her a cocky smile. Zoey's jaw dropped. "You better hurry. You don't want to be late."949Please respect copyright.PENANAj2CQG8xahW
949Please respect copyright.PENANARBBpGZJFqN
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAWOhr7RnHRy
949Please respect copyright.PENANAZAAS9fUSEC
"No fair!" said Zoey as she stomped her foot hard onto the floor.949Please respect copyright.PENANAaTICSrD9jE
949Please respect copyright.PENANA9QdKpvRx2X
Ah-oh. Here we go.949Please respect copyright.PENANAtqmM8nsRrY
949Please respect copyright.PENANA3y0L2wsj3a
"Zoey, relax," said Christine. "We've got twenty-five minutes. You rush to the showers. Sam and I will get your stuff."949Please respect copyright.PENANAFdmV8shTp1
949Please respect copyright.PENANA2A5Wm8PyZZ
"Fine." Zoey rolled her eyes and dashed out of the room.949Please respect copyright.PENANAWtqXfzUiYt
949Please respect copyright.PENANAulA63uiM76
"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.949Please respect copyright.PENANANQWMp8IRXx
949Please respect copyright.PENANABcF2BTkrzT
"Trust me, you've no idea," I said.949Please respect copyright.PENANA4OXWQM26xP
949Please respect copyright.PENANAQY2A6LSr36
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAmmnPCaigat
949Please respect copyright.PENANA5nQ7e6Y3yn
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:949Please respect copyright.PENANA23And2dwt6
949Please respect copyright.PENANAjHs7WdtvHF
"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://..........."949Please respect copyright.PENANAxzMANkOvqr
949Please respect copyright.PENANAmpUWPs7N9j
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAyNqBNsGPDK
949Please respect copyright.PENANADqRkSWvlbz
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANAFhdB3o0v15
949Please respect copyright.PENANAwp9m36mA9V
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANA9lVjPA7pIu
949Please respect copyright.PENANA0XHSpJ1TEE
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANABbwvBUoEUo
949Please respect copyright.PENANAusaWs7Jlec
"Looks like you guys made it out in time," said Lee. "For a moment there, I thought they were going to get you."949Please respect copyright.PENANArvXeed1Ttt
949Please respect copyright.PENANAsXHcOaVETD
"We go through these things almost all the time," said Mike. "It's no big deal when you know the fans love you."949Please respect copyright.PENANAczzbQFuL4s
949Please respect copyright.PENANAECj6uDJ8jB
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAL8aVn7ZuaT
949Please respect copyright.PENANAmi0MPSHV7W
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:949Please respect copyright.PENANAxEXycJnqqJ
949Please respect copyright.PENANA7kdqj24ULd
"The Astonishing Samantha Glasson: The One Who Stole The Hearts of Many Koreans."949Please respect copyright.PENANAMzrMdcNgKl
949Please respect copyright.PENANAoRyprC7s14
"Huh!?"949Please respect copyright.PENANAj9cdUy1WvM
949Please respect copyright.PENANAPx4yjuWm3f
Everyone turned to look at me, and I quickly covered my mouth. It just slipped out; I couldn't hold it.949Please respect copyright.PENANApwlDwqWrqE
949Please respect copyright.PENANAOHOVZKH3By
"Hey, are you okay?" Zoey asked. "Did someone send you one of those messages or something?"949Please respect copyright.PENANArH6rUrbyYF
949Please respect copyright.PENANAx1ZDiuImp2
"Um... did anyone get the chance to see the cover of the Korean Elle magazine today?" I asked.949Please respect copyright.PENANAJCnNcXgrZD
949Please respect copyright.PENANA9KrAUKFBfr
"What? Elle? No, I didn't," said Zoey. "Let me see."949Please respect copyright.PENANA2IT3mvbXbC
949Please respect copyright.PENANAY3oVSvrDHv
I gave Zoey my phone, and she looked just as shocked. Everyone got a turn to look, except Collins and Lee.949Please respect copyright.PENANAMhhiF0MxiY
949Please respect copyright.PENANAP7canyeG7M
"We already knew about it this morning," said Lee. "We wanted it to be a surprise."949Please respect copyright.PENANAczBjMBix9O
949Please respect copyright.PENANAihUYKGgX4P
"Wait... did you tell Taeyang to send this to me?" I asked.949Please respect copyright.PENANAk9mDYfEarX
949Please respect copyright.PENANAM4gVzNhF1W
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANA7qYrpT1IIy
949Please respect copyright.PENANAdke1RAd0AA
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANAqtlqQjlyQO
949Please respect copyright.PENANAptsomDAwQB
"You've been keeping tabs on that?" I asked.949Please respect copyright.PENANAP2hVwkzj3p
949Please respect copyright.PENANAYZUTj7ZDvn
"Well, yeah, some of us have," answered Mike.949Please respect copyright.PENANASNPQwDHZhe
949Please respect copyright.PENANAjGHMQOq8DN
"It looks like you guys are better off than I am. I sometimes don't go online and see what's going on."949Please respect copyright.PENANANHdwzxkQrj
949Please respect copyright.PENANAKu89ZBwkk8
"That's because you don't like all the attention," said Zoey. "If I were you, I would feel like a queen."949Please respect copyright.PENANAXCs09bNWvQ
949Please respect copyright.PENANAcAhGDikjpx
"Well, thank goodness Sam isn't like you," said Daniel. "If she were... who knows?"949Please respect copyright.PENANAbFSyImCKMU
949Please respect copyright.PENANAI81GigRtEO
"Do you mean to say I wouldn't make a good leader?" Zoey asked, looking furious. "That pretty much sounds like it."949Please respect copyright.PENANAz7b2FVUGiL
949Please respect copyright.PENANAbb0E7qsfQS
"Everyone here can all be leaders. Sam's just better at it."949Please respect copyright.PENANAWUhEvcsRz6
949Please respect copyright.PENANAkisWQK2QQy
"I agree with Daniel," said Collins.949Please respect copyright.PENANAj3kKVZJUP3
949Please respect copyright.PENANA2F0v9ipyYZ
"Ahh!" Zoey exclaimed as though she were in pain. She placed her hand on her chest. "My heart is broken!"949Please respect copyright.PENANACygOiREw1w
949Please respect copyright.PENANAU9h2EKQvWc
"You're such a drama queen," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "You make everything seem melodramatic."949Please respect copyright.PENANA71yGP1xByy
949Please respect copyright.PENANAQircmGwGpl
"Yeah, that's why you need me around," said Zoey.949Please respect copyright.PENANAH0pdIwf4QY
949Please respect copyright.PENANANujsTYIquD
"We all need each other, no matter what."949Please respect copyright.PENANAzkWpRlNZa7
949Please respect copyright.PENANAFkh3PP7v2q
"Guys, you won't believe what I'm seeing right now," said Lee.949Please respect copyright.PENANAdvqousg658
949Please respect copyright.PENANAO6Qj1oyC5g
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!949Please respect copyright.PENANAvO10iPbElu
949Please respect copyright.PENANAvFaqVEW8YP
"OMG, this building looks huge," said Christine. "Well, kind of. For an entertainment company, that is."949Please respect copyright.PENANAaCYXaopsUK
949Please respect copyright.PENANAD0gKubA6Zb
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANA1y7qqRs7Od
949Please respect copyright.PENANACxnwRHO2yf
"You look fine," I said. "You worry about looks for no reason."949Please respect copyright.PENANA2iFtI8OMQg
949Please respect copyright.PENANAjaTDqpmBrM
"Easy for you to say. You don't have to worry because you naturally look good."949Please respect copyright.PENANAwnfGMmgZLf
949Please respect copyright.PENANAzhe8lJQsGC
"Wait... for real?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow.949Please respect copyright.PENANAbYeUDAzyTM
949Please respect copyright.PENANAduYiJ1KYQ4
"You really should read what people say about you online," said Zoey, rolling her eyes at me.949Please respect copyright.PENANAOAtBqw1ggB
949Please respect copyright.PENANAJswnreJDId
"I'll try to do so."949Please respect copyright.PENANAFmJuH8dF6c
949Please respect copyright.PENANAs4UVQxI5Yc
"Yeah, and I'll make sure that you do."949Please respect copyright.PENANAwKgQ5isuV9
949Please respect copyright.PENANAh6YWUxCDe7
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:949Please respect copyright.PENANAreWwsHkkJU
949Please respect copyright.PENANAuxu37eQ1m7
"Can you two save your little chitchat for later? It's time to go."949Please respect copyright.PENANAr3bniDD0Hh
949Please respect copyright.PENANA6GFxBA2Su5
"Oh," said Zoey as she looked out of the window.949Please respect copyright.PENANAPwHc4jIbM3
949Please respect copyright.PENANArurvBTNZVr
When we all got out of the car, we found Yang Hyun-suk waiting for us at the entrance.949Please respect copyright.PENANAx42e06NE1w
949Please respect copyright.PENANA4OqDJXSSSS
"Hello, everyone. I'm glad you could make it," said Yang Hyun-suk as he shook Collins' hand.949Please respect copyright.PENANAD4E0EVQqgY
949Please respect copyright.PENANABrxRMwYzE8
"Thank you for having us," said Collins.949Please respect copyright.PENANAysdfveNCI8
949Please respect copyright.PENANA7KV6yFMvVk
"Follow me, please. I'll show you around."949Please respect copyright.PENANAj1cJTNA2fG
949Please respect copyright.PENANAmIFOgF2W3A
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAjWB8GvjpIN
949Please respect copyright.PENANAKKdT6fH5ft
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAS9WMNkWyVt
949Please respect copyright.PENANAyYx2JLiUGy
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAxtBvBLsOhf
949Please respect copyright.PENANAlAdYgZ6Wll
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAQfOy1lLfjI
949Please respect copyright.PENANAl9uomveEAl
The screaming caught so much attention that many other trainees walked out of their studios and came over to meet us.949Please respect copyright.PENANA4w5MePtyXQ
949Please respect copyright.PENANA7HWPfPSk45
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?949Please respect copyright.PENANAPac8FFIgHZ
949Please respect copyright.PENANA5nUxQSgryp
"These guys are well-disciplined," I heard Lee whisper to Collins behind me.949Please respect copyright.PENANAlK3DqT3sr8
949Please respect copyright.PENANA89r4jsGCFK
"Sorry for the inconvenience," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned to address us. "They could be a little out of control sometimes."949Please respect copyright.PENANAlgPlc3MSty
949Please respect copyright.PENANAErnDHAMb7u
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANAcTvSZBdwkS
949Please respect copyright.PENANAiTx8rSkzb2
"Hey!" The five of us all looked at him with annoyed looks on our faces.949Please respect copyright.PENANA5u731rJ1Pw
949Please respect copyright.PENANA8USqjjWOCp
Yang Hyun-suk laughed. Collins rolled his eyes at us. "You see what I mean? No respect for me at all."949Please respect copyright.PENANAafsIsrbqKe
949Please respect copyright.PENANAylzRPfkHFU
"We do respect you, Collins," said Zoey with a sweet voice and a smile. "And we love you too."949Please respect copyright.PENANAF6dHLptMDw
949Please respect copyright.PENANAg6ylSaIMlh
"The only person who respects me is Sam," said Collins. "The rest of you are just crazy."949Please respect copyright.PENANAnRcweegB7u
949Please respect copyright.PENANAzrKnxte9Xh
"Crazy?" Zoey's voice went a little high there. "Come on, Collins. You can at least find a better word than that."949Please respect copyright.PENANARqEc89pxFA
949Please respect copyright.PENANA6N1zNmdi8a
"We do have a lot of respect for you," said Daniel. "We just trouble you because we love you."949Please respect copyright.PENANAbdnxG5LMpE
949Please respect copyright.PENANAEOfgAdwuw2
"That's cute," said Yang Hyun-suk, with a smile on his face.949Please respect copyright.PENANA0h15cuULR7
949Please respect copyright.PENANAsK2AIiA3G0
"Don't mind them. These little arguments happen all the time," said Lee to Yang Hyun-suk.949Please respect copyright.PENANAGLhpMBt3Pl
949Please respect copyright.PENANA8Xwv26T8By
"Yep, all the time," I said with a nod.949Please respect copyright.PENANA185IZ54XnP
949Please respect copyright.PENANAbBsjHpqCIm
Daniel looked down the hall and said, "Hey, look, here comes Taeyang."949Please respect copyright.PENANAh2fHhXjxdX
949Please respect copyright.PENANAjPbvv9t38B
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANA8DdlmZ9Kou
949Please respect copyright.PENANAGn1xm3C4iu
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?949Please respect copyright.PENANAC7U9rRF5GJ
949Please respect copyright.PENANAGhaPyb87pI
"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!"949Please respect copyright.PENANAfjcvgX8Y2t
949Please respect copyright.PENANAw6UylKUyU8
"I know, right?" Christine whispered back. "Not only is he hot, he is so cute."949Please respect copyright.PENANAywam3Im4sJ
949Please respect copyright.PENANAR3h11ACcTD
"I was wondering what the racket was all about," said Taeyang when he finally got close. "The Toxins are in the building."949Please respect copyright.PENANAuABhnuBX42
949Please respect copyright.PENANA8lHXKIgPeq
"Yeah," said Zoey, giving Taeyang a weird giggle. I looked at her and raised my eyebrow. Zoey noticed and lowered her head.949Please respect copyright.PENANAmQsv7CVUAz
949Please respect copyright.PENANA6LbCLSwozF
"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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAn0fo0N4Acv
949Please respect copyright.PENANA8wz78PQu7t
"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?"949Please respect copyright.PENANAEL5CK2L9rq
949Please respect copyright.PENANAGYmXt1npyI
"Um... yeah, I did, thanks," I said with a smile, trying to hide my blushing cheeks.949Please respect copyright.PENANA8q2KCKXmBw
949Please respect copyright.PENANART3bmRLcxS
"I'm coordinating dance practise with some trainees," said Taeyang. "Would you mind joining us? They would be thrilled to have you."949Please respect copyright.PENANAwrlvjrtgDX
949Please respect copyright.PENANADcLzq6NatT
"I wouldn't mind, right guys?" I asked the others.949Please respect copyright.PENANAn9sMpdj0O8
949Please respect copyright.PENANAoqtebIVt1K
"Sure," they responded.949Please respect copyright.PENANAxWxPntUDB3
949Please respect copyright.PENANAhLvnZBUogK
"And if it's okay with Collins and Yang Hyun-suk," I said as I looked over at both managers, waiting for their response.949Please respect copyright.PENANAxiwkKHoUAC
949Please respect copyright.PENANAKJDRm529dX
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."949Please respect copyright.PENANA9TJrpzawel
949Please respect copyright.PENANAIQqrlg0eC7
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAHX8nIhwEKj
949Please respect copyright.PENANACURM977ZST
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANASP97KDOGbj
949Please respect copyright.PENANAhXo3VN9vpS
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANAG4K1GRQVXH
949Please respect copyright.PENANAAKjCOFwJ58
"You're on," Taeyang said with a smirk.949Please respect copyright.PENANAkSQcQO4qsg
949Please respect copyright.PENANAf0szyPUULk
"This will not end well," said Christine, shaking her head.949Please respect copyright.PENANALOjQ7A9gDW
949Please respect copyright.PENANApc8xCNcoFb
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAxvynddS5RM
949Please respect copyright.PENANAw7XoMMqi2a
"Sorry, you had to go through that with our manager," said Taeyang as I walked beside him. "He could be a little difficult sometimes."949Please respect copyright.PENANA5KgagIFNhw
949Please respect copyright.PENANAwmDCBRfqaq
"Yeah, I figured," I said, trying to put up a smile.949Please respect copyright.PENANA0KqcKvljC6
949Please respect copyright.PENANAn5n6DpqtlZ
"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?"949Please respect copyright.PENANA21Q7UIfXCO
949Please respect copyright.PENANAzaCRqLOnnd
"Let's not talk about that," said Taeyang. "The walls have ears, you know?"949Please respect copyright.PENANAoyPI2NOuyx
949Please respect copyright.PENANAeYxnxRSjdz
"Great," said Daniel. "It's like we just found ourselves under the radar of Big Brother."949Please respect copyright.PENANAsD1sXmshy0
949Please respect copyright.PENANAU6tdDVugI8
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it," said Taeyang.949Please respect copyright.PENANAaqRR5qJRmv
949Please respect copyright.PENANAidEgahO4N6
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAOry2MHgjPK
949Please respect copyright.PENANAAnX0NJ4ReE
"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?"949Please respect copyright.PENANAwYAtLRl7A6
949Please respect copyright.PENANAEI8t6BPCLs
The trainees responded in agreement with such enthusiasm.949Please respect copyright.PENANApoIvtME4KF
949Please respect copyright.PENANAWQNhACNd3D
"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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAgM0SlW69zT
949Please respect copyright.PENANADArWPOUi86
"So, Sam, would you and your team kindly do the honours of taking the dance floor first?" Taeyang asked.949Please respect copyright.PENANAA8PqGiPUBj
949Please respect copyright.PENANAPpyHjdoMW8
"With pleasure," I answered.949Please respect copyright.PENANAIzerPgEmWk
949Please respect copyright.PENANA7CrfjELbtR
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAzakzmuaVyU
949Please respect copyright.PENANAnARGXGPEdS
"Oh, thank you, thank you," said Zoey as she did a curtsy. "You're too kind."949Please respect copyright.PENANACVP81PMovi
949Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ht0viybaf
"You guys are awesome," said Taeyang as he walked up to me.949Please respect copyright.PENANAgP8TDw7YCB
949Please respect copyright.PENANAfvWtn6SWhD
"Thanks," I said in between breaths.949Please respect copyright.PENANAcSOJAfk3KZ
949Please respect copyright.PENANAjoBc2tbx1W
Mike walked up to us and challenged Taeyang. "Come on, Taeyang. Let's go one-on-one. You and me."949Please respect copyright.PENANA5bnRp8aV5j
949Please respect copyright.PENANAF1BZJpUPLT
Taeyang smiled and nodded his head. "Sure. Let's see who is a better dancer and put this behind us once and for all."949Please respect copyright.PENANAizHc9HYHOT
949Please respect copyright.PENANAurw2rGBhbz
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANArOwfpk8lY2
949Please respect copyright.PENANAIfh8tc1999
"Don't worry, sis," said Mike. "You know I'm a good dancer. I can handle him."949Please respect copyright.PENANABM0wrRaxDw
949Please respect copyright.PENANATGlX7woVyH
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAELn9BVHC8O
949Please respect copyright.PENANA7vZBSt23zW
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAyRqp6v7jEz
949Please respect copyright.PENANAPf1Q61v32A
The trainees cheered for Taeyang while he and Mike gave each other a casual handshake.949Please respect copyright.PENANAUDccfoaoPT
949Please respect copyright.PENANAI9dGFAUO2X
"I'm still going to get you for this, Tae," said Mike.949Please respect copyright.PENANAFNpujKprJz
949Please respect copyright.PENANAiZEMdmJDSK
"Anytime, Mike," said Taeyang with a smile.949Please respect copyright.PENANAvTHk8sOlWe
949Please respect copyright.PENANAMffylenlbN
"I told you going up against him was a bad idea," I said as I walked up to them.949Please respect copyright.PENANAn37QEulDS9
949Please respect copyright.PENANAE5YntKEuSo
"I know, I know," said Mike as he rolled his eyes. "I'll try listening to you in the future."949Please respect copyright.PENANAe4Bf1ZBxd3
949Please respect copyright.PENANAG5ewEYuxkT
"You never do," I said as I raised my eyebrow at him, shaking my head.949Please respect copyright.PENANAWZuv9sn8eu
949Please respect copyright.PENANAHPUr4heokw
"Never mind. I'll leave you two." Mike left us and joined the trainees and the other Toxins as they gathered around.949Please respect copyright.PENANArxOp0UBj0Z
949Please respect copyright.PENANA92Wsyy2yIs
"So, how did I do?" Taeyang asked when Mike was out of earshot.949Please respect copyright.PENANAhH3giXd4Sm
949Please respect copyright.PENANAqTYGI0Y0yg
"You don't have to ask," I said. "You already know how much of a great dancer you are."949Please respect copyright.PENANAVWXXuIW5t1
949Please respect copyright.PENANAVFumfsfknk
"Just hearing that will do," Taeyang told me with an eye roll. My heartbeat quickened.949Please respect copyright.PENANAGLausc0Xvt
949Please respect copyright.PENANAK9bC5LNC70
"You're awesome. You look like a natural when you dance."949Please respect copyright.PENANAo5im7R0pxp
949Please respect copyright.PENANArkpHKLnwjj
"Thanks. You also dance well. It looks like we were both born for this."949Please respect copyright.PENANA9jAjoKjJcM
949Please respect copyright.PENANA5w8bjKGEQs
"Yeah, we were."949Please respect copyright.PENANAzDmMkiYNRx
949Please respect copyright.PENANAxbufPiUREI
"We should dance together sometime. What do you think?"949Please respect copyright.PENANAZik7i3j3r5
949Please respect copyright.PENANAv7CCwQljr3
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANA1psKebD29Y
949Please respect copyright.PENANAugDWLk2dhV
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAejQG935pXI
949Please respect copyright.PENANAsf88VoHR2r
"Seungri, what's wrong with you?" I asked after he stopped spinning me around. I couldn't keep myself from laughing.949Please respect copyright.PENANA7AtVymwtm9
949Please respect copyright.PENANADo8gTpQAII
"I heard that you made it to the front cover of Elle magazine," said Seungri. "Congratulations, my panda."949Please respect copyright.PENANAXOa9sEisfU
949Please respect copyright.PENANA0reEuqLkcI
"Aww, thanks, Seungri," I said. "I wasn't expecting this from you."949Please respect copyright.PENANA3Cpf7ZE49c
949Please respect copyright.PENANAwcUdkVLdH1
"You deserve it, my cutie," he said with a wide smile.949Please respect copyright.PENANAChmleOxX1Y
949Please respect copyright.PENANArU8bdhMBOm
"Congratulations, Sam," said T.O.P. as he approached us. "Just like Seungri said, you truly deserve it."949Please respect copyright.PENANAHiWbt2zCQo
949Please respect copyright.PENANAZyuc4GokW7
"Thanks, T.O.P." I said with a smile.949Please respect copyright.PENANAnWqJvxSeEs
949Please respect copyright.PENANAQFO3sQTNPd
"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?"949Please respect copyright.PENANAXUEWdnVlNM
949Please respect copyright.PENANANc7bD5OvS9
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANAIoqTMYQ15A
949Please respect copyright.PENANAEnoN9f4Zxo
"What about a party?" Zoey suggested it, completely ignoring me. "Come on, it will be fun!"949Please respect copyright.PENANAqAMKoHbg0E
949Please respect copyright.PENANAtELoQ7ILC0
"I agree with Zoey," said Seungri. "We need to celebrate."949Please respect copyright.PENANASHvkxoYREn
949Please respect copyright.PENANArvruRHT9Ib
"I don't think it's a good idea," I said. "Don't you think we can just go out and have lunch instead?"949Please respect copyright.PENANAqZaSnIFMAm
949Please respect copyright.PENANAIwKIB05HNg
"Bo-ring!" Zoey said it in a loud sing-song voice. "You're so not fun nowadays, Sam. A party will be awesome!"949Please respect copyright.PENANAyOQwT1JjK4
949Please respect copyright.PENANALhLwEPgMR9
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANAartmiD59jG
949Please respect copyright.PENANANymIuywMAH
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANAO9IsZx8V9Y
949Please respect copyright.PENANAinUTRYPzro
"Ah, I forgot we've got these 'Netizens' around," said Zoey, putting a lot of emphasis on the word 'Netizens.'949Please respect copyright.PENANA5YRiBcuzPj
949Please respect copyright.PENANAsl5qBAMhHU
"I'm going with Sam on this one," said Christine. "Besides Yang Hyun-suk, don't forget there's Collins too."949Please respect copyright.PENANAu9udfPIfIM
949Please respect copyright.PENANAKTDpVDN8VF
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANAS2OhnvLTnd
949Please respect copyright.PENANAf9bODb1Zt9
"I promise," I assured Zoey with my hand on my chest.949Please respect copyright.PENANAYKdrHcjXu7
949Please respect copyright.PENANA95jdRKDCcI
"Alright, that's settled then," said Taeyang. "I'll go get ready and tell our managers that we'll be leaving for lunch."949Please respect copyright.PENANAsMj7rYmUHN
949Please respect copyright.PENANAoHGYIlp64q
"Okay, thanks," I said.949Please respect copyright.PENANAHFd0PWexhA
949Please respect copyright.PENANA85GhkZOQZm
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAB2ABxpcl9Q
949Please respect copyright.PENANAqpJewiRwnl
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANATOLGFdRxJw
949Please respect copyright.PENANAL40QbqWxhy
We left the YG premises and went to a famous pizza parlour. Daesung met us at there. Afterwards, we went out to have fun.949Please respect copyright.PENANASD8fGlkpNx

949Please respect copyright.PENANAWM7Y9iq5X9
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAAVn7gKzRD2
949Please respect copyright.PENANALA973PLKXs
"Hey guys," said Collins. "How was your day?"949Please respect copyright.PENANAi3naP3C2bk
949Please respect copyright.PENANAC0BNAcXo6O
"It was awesome!" said Zoey with a smile on her face. "After lunch, we went around the city."949Please respect copyright.PENANAaeDcU7VTGY
949Please respect copyright.PENANA1cK5KGRTwk
"Don't tell me you were stuck with Yang Hyun-suk the whole day yourselves," I said.949Please respect copyright.PENANAHuEpwQLK7o
949Please respect copyright.PENANAJyBNe0MHH5
"Yeah, about that...," started Lee as she bit her lower lip.949Please respect copyright.PENANAoTOvIu1hoF
949Please respect copyright.PENANAFSacyU4wj2
"What's wrong? When you do that, then something's up," said Daniel.949Please respect copyright.PENANAMEFxYT83Fr
949Please respect copyright.PENANANSmRo05KpQ
"Let's sit in the lounge, please," said Collins.949Please respect copyright.PENANARNK9c53i5y
949Please respect copyright.PENANAaXw9C414G3
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANA2CmBWpFJlR
949Please respect copyright.PENANAvCThS2nGtM
"What's wrong, Collins?" I asked.949Please respect copyright.PENANAHNKsEaixTA
949Please respect copyright.PENANANhULTANZdq
"I'm sorry to spoil your evening with what I'm about to tell you," said Collins, "but this is important."949Please respect copyright.PENANA85dwywRL1B
949Please respect copyright.PENANABckJlu8skO
"Oh, boy," muttered Zoey.949Please respect copyright.PENANAAh7kiV7mG8
949Please respect copyright.PENANAdhhSgNproF
"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."949Please respect copyright.PENANAd8IfSLcRpJ
949Please respect copyright.PENANAPD9U2j5OG3
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.949Please respect copyright.PENANAHivPArhAIb
949Please respect copyright.PENANAkQALY3VK8C
"What do we have to do now, Collins?" I asked with my eyes closed, expecting the worst.
