"Let's do it in 5, 6, 7, 8,..."937Please respect copyright.PENANAjPJx79QOMb
937Please respect copyright.PENANAXT1R9mItRE
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAI6WQiwqzOR
937Please respect copyright.PENANArcykgoyZ39
"Okay, that's good. Shall we do it again?" I asked through heavy breaths.937Please respect copyright.PENANA9MMFIvgUvz
937Please respect copyright.PENANA5EiziSjQTi
"Yeah," Zoey replied as she wiped her sweaty forehead with the back of her hand.937Please respect copyright.PENANAqAHFJ4HwRw
937Please respect copyright.PENANA6HXdBYpcFt
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANATmuIyK2XPO
937Please respect copyright.PENANAwSQyjj5RyK
"Phew! I'm so tired," said Daniel as he grabbed a water bottle from his training bag.937Please respect copyright.PENANApeJ9nSMmo2
937Please respect copyright.PENANAWF2B1BIfLi
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANA6IxNUB2SJc
937Please respect copyright.PENANANQ88DA8T39
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAqaQzHm2sGK
937Please respect copyright.PENANA9mnjWamJtU
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANArrsrZ5kl5g
937Please respect copyright.PENANAtXZ5KMgarU
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANASCnFMXUTkk
937Please respect copyright.PENANA889pkqJ8Qq
"Oh, yes!" Christine exclaimed. "We finally get to go there."937Please respect copyright.PENANASWLc6iR7ON
937Please respect copyright.PENANASIAlIoRNcA
"Why are you so excited?" Mike asked her, looking surprised like the rest of us over her reaction.937Please respect copyright.PENANAOisfsd4LrF
937Please respect copyright.PENANAoYniQ53O9p
"Guys, don't you get it?" Christine asked. "We're going to the YG studios."937Please respect copyright.PENANAXikdRUv2nu
937Please respect copyright.PENANAZUWQsR3lVg
"So?" Daniel asked, shrugging his shoulders.937Please respect copyright.PENANAUYzjoDyNZx
937Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9VsM5yAnd
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANA4FWWwwyo3T
937Please respect copyright.PENANAw3jy8rfLLH
"Oh, yeah, that never crossed my mind," said Zoey. "Why didn't you remind me, Christine?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAA1EVBsT84T
937Please respect copyright.PENANA1xYQNvsIVn
"Don't blame me," Christine defended herself. "You, Zoey, have the knack for these kinds of things. I thought you already knew."937Please respect copyright.PENANA2dlwhyqS4o
937Please respect copyright.PENANA9wGim1BndL
"This will be awesome," said Daniel. "I can't wait to meet PSY in person and do the Gangnam Style with him."937Please respect copyright.PENANAh55pDj0DmY
937Please respect copyright.PENANAwvJVRUGqA2
"Well, to be honest, we all want to meet PSY," I said, "so let's hit the showers and get ready."937Please respect copyright.PENANAXYODdvjW4n
937Please respect copyright.PENANAelv5a9Qf2T
"I thought you would never say that," said Collins. "You've got twenty minutes. Lee and I will be waiting outside."937Please respect copyright.PENANAljFcGLMkbZ
937Please respect copyright.PENANArHUHsVf3ir
"Twenty minutes!" Zoey whined. "We're going to the YG studios; at least give some of us time to look good."937Please respect copyright.PENANAiwyT7bmaQb
937Please respect copyright.PENANA9xsBLTgWhD
"Okay, twenty-five," said Collins, giving her a cocky smile. Zoey's jaw dropped. "You better hurry. You don't want to be late."937Please respect copyright.PENANAwqtXy9khPE
937Please respect copyright.PENANAVZT08fICoz
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANARDxy1FTAe1
937Please respect copyright.PENANA6SvPNKtWbN
"No fair!" said Zoey as she stomped her foot hard onto the floor.937Please respect copyright.PENANAStTKUwpypX
937Please respect copyright.PENANALXkhgWxxSh
Ah-oh. Here we go.937Please respect copyright.PENANAAP4vNqwPeW
937Please respect copyright.PENANAdHGhSw9f0b
"Zoey, relax," said Christine. "We've got twenty-five minutes. You rush to the showers. Sam and I will get your stuff."937Please respect copyright.PENANA9rd6JBzLKu
937Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ2Fuhpb5x
"Fine." Zoey rolled her eyes and dashed out of the room.937Please respect copyright.PENANAPhFpkg7bTz
937Please respect copyright.PENANAR9ASo3wdpp
"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.937Please respect copyright.PENANA7VkUhs9kTw
937Please respect copyright.PENANAq9Yq9HpKqy
"Trust me, you've no idea," I said.937Please respect copyright.PENANAXMnHViSOI4
937Please respect copyright.PENANAdLR4zmxPha
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAZTnIRbKjdo
937Please respect copyright.PENANAwvK8GufwXz
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:937Please respect copyright.PENANAiWWET3GPX5
937Please respect copyright.PENANAdAnJ756cXF
"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://..........."937Please respect copyright.PENANAMiWQ9XfI1C
937Please respect copyright.PENANA2ga3uKW1Z7
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAinom8QOyae
937Please respect copyright.PENANABsBuNCErgE
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAb61qmdb4fT
937Please respect copyright.PENANAaOSvRuqzX8
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAcooi3yc2I6
937Please respect copyright.PENANA5RCzxIRZUr
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAyFUNsiHdLY
937Please respect copyright.PENANAvpVD6qlmgr
"Looks like you guys made it out in time," said Lee. "For a moment there, I thought they were going to get you."937Please respect copyright.PENANAye1dUJEjCv
937Please respect copyright.PENANAAU4nL2RzyS
"We go through these things almost all the time," said Mike. "It's no big deal when you know the fans love you."937Please respect copyright.PENANAy3E3nbmr5E
937Please respect copyright.PENANAXwdyPKfDyU
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAfNVwk3pgRs
937Please respect copyright.PENANADuXPF7y7KP
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:937Please respect copyright.PENANA6CVm0cNEib
937Please respect copyright.PENANAL5PkgE5aP9
"The Astonishing Samantha Glasson: The One Who Stole The Hearts of Many Koreans."937Please respect copyright.PENANAGW83UojAeH
937Please respect copyright.PENANAHznD9fZBlF
"Huh!?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAaHigSqxhAq
937Please respect copyright.PENANASwobYLHzma
Everyone turned to look at me, and I quickly covered my mouth. It just slipped out; I couldn't hold it.937Please respect copyright.PENANANURnR6hDSn
937Please respect copyright.PENANAyR9K6vyxug
"Hey, are you okay?" Zoey asked. "Did someone send you one of those messages or something?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAHLuB4fpJ3C
937Please respect copyright.PENANATNnQOVLYre
"Um... did anyone get the chance to see the cover of the Korean Elle magazine today?" I asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANABgOpVrBrA9
937Please respect copyright.PENANAmnSsOZD2yB
"What? Elle? No, I didn't," said Zoey. "Let me see."937Please respect copyright.PENANAlEzrOZxRGT
937Please respect copyright.PENANA7ikvHJiOyI
I gave Zoey my phone, and she looked just as shocked. Everyone got a turn to look, except Collins and Lee.937Please respect copyright.PENANAWydqoVxTOq
937Please respect copyright.PENANA5qKKHDe1lg
"We already knew about it this morning," said Lee. "We wanted it to be a surprise."937Please respect copyright.PENANAR0I2AKBPNM
937Please respect copyright.PENANA8lpoeo8fPG
"Wait... did you tell Taeyang to send this to me?" I asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAzXaQ6pMT0C
937Please respect copyright.PENANAgcB4ovD7ha
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAQYrQr3tvrY
937Please respect copyright.PENANALE6sdpD3E3
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANA2K9i8Bo1LJ
937Please respect copyright.PENANAVZhcopoAPp
"You've been keeping tabs on that?" I asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAwQLwG3ljLd
937Please respect copyright.PENANAOTK2daF7mC
"Well, yeah, some of us have," answered Mike.937Please respect copyright.PENANACI5JZUHJW9
937Please respect copyright.PENANAplg6JRN0vf
"It looks like you guys are better off than I am. I sometimes don't go online and see what's going on."937Please respect copyright.PENANARw6LGJllea
937Please respect copyright.PENANAclvxQb8uKV
"That's because you don't like all the attention," said Zoey. "If I were you, I would feel like a queen."937Please respect copyright.PENANAdq3TH4s6n9
937Please respect copyright.PENANAAUbDO7pC9I
"Well, thank goodness Sam isn't like you," said Daniel. "If she were... who knows?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAM1mYskBbdL
937Please respect copyright.PENANATRf5ktW6OU
"Do you mean to say I wouldn't make a good leader?" Zoey asked, looking furious. "That pretty much sounds like it."937Please respect copyright.PENANAiZpx2V14TV
937Please respect copyright.PENANAoQZ2eP9syd
"Everyone here can all be leaders. Sam's just better at it."937Please respect copyright.PENANAJjsHVmH6Zl
937Please respect copyright.PENANAP53WrPhQgu
"I agree with Daniel," said Collins.937Please respect copyright.PENANAPPXGTLtrkb
937Please respect copyright.PENANAQY0sGJEtBo
"Ahh!" Zoey exclaimed as though she were in pain. She placed her hand on her chest. "My heart is broken!"937Please respect copyright.PENANAWzMxU5GRBR
937Please respect copyright.PENANAyPY58Pv5lH
"You're such a drama queen," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "You make everything seem melodramatic."937Please respect copyright.PENANAvdOWjjvE9c
937Please respect copyright.PENANA9AHRXuwRLV
"Yeah, that's why you need me around," said Zoey.937Please respect copyright.PENANAPQ84zRutLB
937Please respect copyright.PENANAYFZDQgrb0M
"We all need each other, no matter what."937Please respect copyright.PENANAmJLymVMyYP
937Please respect copyright.PENANACKTAQrwXjY
"Guys, you won't believe what I'm seeing right now," said Lee.937Please respect copyright.PENANAGKJFReciuv
937Please respect copyright.PENANAdmElNz1w5O
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!937Please respect copyright.PENANAKK81jHwYC4
937Please respect copyright.PENANArr8DLIsLe0
"OMG, this building looks huge," said Christine. "Well, kind of. For an entertainment company, that is."937Please respect copyright.PENANAMH3q8CF8tv
937Please respect copyright.PENANA5AHGIJhRLy
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAZYkkBmIsz4
937Please respect copyright.PENANAW2q3OAO103
"You look fine," I said. "You worry about looks for no reason."937Please respect copyright.PENANApjyoWb99Hu
937Please respect copyright.PENANAAhSQHARYK2
"Easy for you to say. You don't have to worry because you naturally look good."937Please respect copyright.PENANA1w8Mi1qpNx
937Please respect copyright.PENANAfOsAyyZULu
"Wait... for real?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow.937Please respect copyright.PENANA0DxJnZwoq4
937Please respect copyright.PENANAfpbGpJ9Oc5
"You really should read what people say about you online," said Zoey, rolling her eyes at me.937Please respect copyright.PENANAP3gOEs0OuV
937Please respect copyright.PENANActCNXUoOrJ
"I'll try to do so."937Please respect copyright.PENANAvYyJZS9rag
937Please respect copyright.PENANAL8JWLRiSh0
"Yeah, and I'll make sure that you do."937Please respect copyright.PENANAie58XvtD0L
937Please respect copyright.PENANA2wilKB9z5m
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:937Please respect copyright.PENANAxjFnlcmQHF
937Please respect copyright.PENANA20aETEJVU1
"Can you two save your little chitchat for later? It's time to go."937Please respect copyright.PENANAE0JWNO3Tov
937Please respect copyright.PENANAm5i53kmByA
"Oh," said Zoey as she looked out of the window.937Please respect copyright.PENANAzc25kbSZqE
937Please respect copyright.PENANArwIZjWB8XB
When we all got out of the car, we found Yang Hyun-suk waiting for us at the entrance.937Please respect copyright.PENANAusIqjiQzDP
937Please respect copyright.PENANAypRWNJjk1P
"Hello, everyone. I'm glad you could make it," said Yang Hyun-suk as he shook Collins' hand.937Please respect copyright.PENANAXtbvtGqTiy
937Please respect copyright.PENANAXnTEJisapz
"Thank you for having us," said Collins.937Please respect copyright.PENANAo05BHVrNFW
937Please respect copyright.PENANAxPFkKNvwwh
"Follow me, please. I'll show you around."937Please respect copyright.PENANA3UeJll9jSl
937Please respect copyright.PENANADFo6WR5ekg
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAiKSnnAUFYL
937Please respect copyright.PENANALMtU52Y7Nf
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAt7qVt2Zbie
937Please respect copyright.PENANA7hJK9XGBAE
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANALpWRdT9vzK
937Please respect copyright.PENANAE2JZ2Er9ox
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAIuxFbbuf39
937Please respect copyright.PENANAk6cdprJ7jy
The screaming caught so much attention that many other trainees walked out of their studios and came over to meet us.937Please respect copyright.PENANAFBlOSAjGY6
937Please respect copyright.PENANAXzC8z36Rhq
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?937Please respect copyright.PENANAxmPmSIvhe2
937Please respect copyright.PENANA2nKdZySVk1
"These guys are well-disciplined," I heard Lee whisper to Collins behind me.937Please respect copyright.PENANA7AxYJnMbQ0
937Please respect copyright.PENANA9TUBbG57ZA
"Sorry for the inconvenience," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned to address us. "They could be a little out of control sometimes."937Please respect copyright.PENANARwQsVLHtfF
937Please respect copyright.PENANAXm9eDmW9wi
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAM7H64SIbpU
937Please respect copyright.PENANAvvhRScIzXJ
"Hey!" The five of us all looked at him with annoyed looks on our faces.937Please respect copyright.PENANAOjwfCn3dUM
937Please respect copyright.PENANAOOACz8fmym
Yang Hyun-suk laughed. Collins rolled his eyes at us. "You see what I mean? No respect for me at all."937Please respect copyright.PENANAjnoMUghNEO
937Please respect copyright.PENANAQviZd2ZRey
"We do respect you, Collins," said Zoey with a sweet voice and a smile. "And we love you too."937Please respect copyright.PENANAtCiqt3ETAQ
937Please respect copyright.PENANAF25pTZDyZ3
"The only person who respects me is Sam," said Collins. "The rest of you are just crazy."937Please respect copyright.PENANAzIXFEcQFa0
937Please respect copyright.PENANAVMAhB5IUHz
"Crazy?" Zoey's voice went a little high there. "Come on, Collins. You can at least find a better word than that."937Please respect copyright.PENANA1UqzXn9nQP
937Please respect copyright.PENANADX8ErnyoDi
"We do have a lot of respect for you," said Daniel. "We just trouble you because we love you."937Please respect copyright.PENANA1QZfl11qRQ
937Please respect copyright.PENANAYe8686qK0A
"That's cute," said Yang Hyun-suk, with a smile on his face.937Please respect copyright.PENANAPxH4xVjnwl
937Please respect copyright.PENANAqYDb5OPJt5
"Don't mind them. These little arguments happen all the time," said Lee to Yang Hyun-suk.937Please respect copyright.PENANA7SHi8H4WXr
937Please respect copyright.PENANA7VnNbMUub2
"Yep, all the time," I said with a nod.937Please respect copyright.PENANAKWKxpjrYJE
937Please respect copyright.PENANAS0XCZR2vbr
Daniel looked down the hall and said, "Hey, look, here comes Taeyang."937Please respect copyright.PENANAGeuiK9RxKJ
937Please respect copyright.PENANA7EmYk5f311
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAXzVfee4ZhM
937Please respect copyright.PENANAqIhXVre9wF
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?937Please respect copyright.PENANAlfAOV1kh0W
937Please respect copyright.PENANALExKjPp6jw
"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!"937Please respect copyright.PENANANtRkYn4UYS
937Please respect copyright.PENANARNUl4RvEop
"I know, right?" Christine whispered back. "Not only is he hot, he is so cute."937Please respect copyright.PENANARr04BjYu1b
937Please respect copyright.PENANAV2eEFsuTPf
"I was wondering what the racket was all about," said Taeyang when he finally got close. "The Toxins are in the building."937Please respect copyright.PENANAQcnIj4ikQ3
937Please respect copyright.PENANAOGVE8Xrpvl
"Yeah," said Zoey, giving Taeyang a weird giggle. I looked at her and raised my eyebrow. Zoey noticed and lowered her head.937Please respect copyright.PENANA3Mv6bMctFW
937Please respect copyright.PENANABp9zPDQBYQ
"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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAbGubKRZ6Bl
937Please respect copyright.PENANAbng7696F2B
"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?"937Please respect copyright.PENANA6eXb9vqk5v
937Please respect copyright.PENANApdeR9XyyxV
"Um... yeah, I did, thanks," I said with a smile, trying to hide my blushing cheeks.937Please respect copyright.PENANAiG1f8dvmvp
937Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rd1VA3wTN
"I'm coordinating dance practise with some trainees," said Taeyang. "Would you mind joining us? They would be thrilled to have you."937Please respect copyright.PENANALRER0NiD06
937Please respect copyright.PENANAwUOAhgxyKn
"I wouldn't mind, right guys?" I asked the others.937Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZSrLpTPkC
937Please respect copyright.PENANAw7jS0eyo3T
"Sure," they responded.937Please respect copyright.PENANAVhUptMiRmw
937Please respect copyright.PENANACPnJ7o9yCe
"And if it's okay with Collins and Yang Hyun-suk," I said as I looked over at both managers, waiting for their response.937Please respect copyright.PENANAlcNe95TyDg
937Please respect copyright.PENANAZo5XroFWxh
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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAsXLJy8nuft
937Please respect copyright.PENANAneAQ4zIFSw
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAfgVF0xmIba
937Please respect copyright.PENANA4e73A2GYCW
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAoTYQXzm5ho
937Please respect copyright.PENANAh4udPw9GI1
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAGAdTnQMXej
937Please respect copyright.PENANAlCaPapdutK
"You're on," Taeyang said with a smirk.937Please respect copyright.PENANAO9VJxmUI9o
937Please respect copyright.PENANAHKjHOz0gBX
"This will not end well," said Christine, shaking her head.937Please respect copyright.PENANA46tt3kUczv

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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAhtJ6hCMSGe
937Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ8z5TBveQ
"Sorry, you had to go through that with our manager," said Taeyang as I walked beside him. "He could be a little difficult sometimes."937Please respect copyright.PENANAJZjdpt0MD9
937Please respect copyright.PENANAE5Jj3AAuUJ
"Yeah, I figured," I said, trying to put up a smile.937Please respect copyright.PENANAAOFxfMQ6NZ
937Please respect copyright.PENANA2nB5pAEXD5
"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?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAckYvJAIIJj
937Please respect copyright.PENANAnN16Ao7byT
"Let's not talk about that," said Taeyang. "The walls have ears, you know?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAGxFz55OxeO
937Please respect copyright.PENANAEYwZQPASCK
"Great," said Daniel. "It's like we just found ourselves under the radar of Big Brother."937Please respect copyright.PENANADuPQOZq8ON
937Please respect copyright.PENANAf1TeHB2WWL
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it," said Taeyang.937Please respect copyright.PENANAkqZgIZRbmi
937Please respect copyright.PENANAqL1eQRDkbx
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAABzqsBlUqu
937Please respect copyright.PENANAjkP8zS2e51
"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?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAXbAgx6ILxH
937Please respect copyright.PENANA8EY0vrQKJL
The trainees responded in agreement with such enthusiasm.937Please respect copyright.PENANAaH33YZZwgB
937Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fp0g0wL38
"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.937Please respect copyright.PENANA1YXn1MIKq2
937Please respect copyright.PENANAQRK3Go4Hlj
"So, Sam, would you and your team kindly do the honours of taking the dance floor first?" Taeyang asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAJPratQOD87
937Please respect copyright.PENANA5tAMbBGedF
"With pleasure," I answered.937Please respect copyright.PENANACbxAvaabNG
937Please respect copyright.PENANA2xrrnLIWj6
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAio2J6B3EHz
937Please respect copyright.PENANAoETe2svY3G
"Oh, thank you, thank you," said Zoey as she did a curtsy. "You're too kind."937Please respect copyright.PENANAtxCf5x3Vga
937Please respect copyright.PENANA3MiBTPSCOl
"You guys are awesome," said Taeyang as he walked up to me.937Please respect copyright.PENANAhOsmkGYf7n
937Please respect copyright.PENANAD6yBZ5Dq6R
"Thanks," I said in between breaths.937Please respect copyright.PENANANdD6qqSWUt
937Please respect copyright.PENANAfB67UqRQsQ
Mike walked up to us and challenged Taeyang. "Come on, Taeyang. Let's go one-on-one. You and me."937Please respect copyright.PENANAsrTtykiH6k
937Please respect copyright.PENANAkCoDDy8uH9
Taeyang smiled and nodded his head. "Sure. Let's see who is a better dancer and put this behind us once and for all."937Please respect copyright.PENANAerrVbiphno
937Please respect copyright.PENANAH5H77Fpceq
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAb7YHOqXJRj
937Please respect copyright.PENANAUTHLVUJ5VF
"Don't worry, sis," said Mike. "You know I'm a good dancer. I can handle him."937Please respect copyright.PENANAXwdfhljHBM
937Please respect copyright.PENANAM6cWbB3pj8
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANA6Tj495KoiT
937Please respect copyright.PENANAzhDbqAmABE
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAhUj6LQMHbc
937Please respect copyright.PENANAp8aKzmrrX0
The trainees cheered for Taeyang while he and Mike gave each other a casual handshake.937Please respect copyright.PENANAzvVAtwlbgL
937Please respect copyright.PENANACGNUdiiNcb
"I'm still going to get you for this, Tae," said Mike.937Please respect copyright.PENANABIRetbqx41
937Please respect copyright.PENANAvd2kwYdccD
"Anytime, Mike," said Taeyang with a smile.937Please respect copyright.PENANATdUi2DPh70
937Please respect copyright.PENANA98cIfim3no
"I told you going up against him was a bad idea," I said as I walked up to them.937Please respect copyright.PENANAVg1Px5J4Xq
937Please respect copyright.PENANA5paMH66SWR
"I know, I know," said Mike as he rolled his eyes. "I'll try listening to you in the future."937Please respect copyright.PENANAPxH5iMU1fb
937Please respect copyright.PENANAgFShFzKAxz
"You never do," I said as I raised my eyebrow at him, shaking my head.937Please respect copyright.PENANAS7pPhavzDy
937Please respect copyright.PENANARMsADkNSgg
"Never mind. I'll leave you two." Mike left us and joined the trainees and the other Toxins as they gathered around.937Please respect copyright.PENANAVKLLaUU7XV
937Please respect copyright.PENANAgFY9Erumew
"So, how did I do?" Taeyang asked when Mike was out of earshot.937Please respect copyright.PENANAxHKZ8wsEiR
937Please respect copyright.PENANAoP0b0CPTTq
"You don't have to ask," I said. "You already know how much of a great dancer you are."937Please respect copyright.PENANAyE6crQLRVy
937Please respect copyright.PENANA5M7GcY5DKP
"Just hearing that will do," Taeyang told me with an eye roll. My heartbeat quickened.937Please respect copyright.PENANAfJVJrCzmxa
937Please respect copyright.PENANA3MgAOH4Fl3
"You're awesome. You look like a natural when you dance."937Please respect copyright.PENANAS6g7zjJKNz
937Please respect copyright.PENANAAvW9wiQHjX
"Thanks. You also dance well. It looks like we were both born for this."937Please respect copyright.PENANAz7Vg8QIlxt
937Please respect copyright.PENANAtYFaTc1Epf
"Yeah, we were."937Please respect copyright.PENANAYek8EZjHQr
937Please respect copyright.PENANA74vKeWhdxm
"We should dance together sometime. What do you think?"937Please respect copyright.PENANA1MBlwtaEK8
937Please respect copyright.PENANA1RKei9vTAU
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANABAOBLDqqeH
937Please respect copyright.PENANAElDY3LVLEc
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAwehdpNoCS4
937Please respect copyright.PENANAdb4JtnSzKe
"Seungri, what's wrong with you?" I asked after he stopped spinning me around. I couldn't keep myself from laughing.937Please respect copyright.PENANA34T7NSddjr
937Please respect copyright.PENANAlkUAmzQRNM
"I heard that you made it to the front cover of Elle magazine," said Seungri. "Congratulations, my panda."937Please respect copyright.PENANAxXLYTFHYCG
937Please respect copyright.PENANA4hQi66YlF4
"Aww, thanks, Seungri," I said. "I wasn't expecting this from you."937Please respect copyright.PENANAjMuXALPLt8
937Please respect copyright.PENANA2jh1ySDdyx
"You deserve it, my cutie," he said with a wide smile.937Please respect copyright.PENANAawMbDNKb5q
937Please respect copyright.PENANAQAUpylBhXV
"Congratulations, Sam," said T.O.P. as he approached us. "Just like Seungri said, you truly deserve it."937Please respect copyright.PENANAgE4fQkCPm9
937Please respect copyright.PENANABQtIriXMzd
"Thanks, T.O.P." I said with a smile.937Please respect copyright.PENANAMOKqCxIBfB
937Please respect copyright.PENANAudDGFhU9PU
"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?"937Please respect copyright.PENANApL2PMS2I1A
937Please respect copyright.PENANA6lqqjzVOJ4
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANA7iyEeXKbnB
937Please respect copyright.PENANACi500i4SN0
"What about a party?" Zoey suggested it, completely ignoring me. "Come on, it will be fun!"937Please respect copyright.PENANAKQQwcroGsk
937Please respect copyright.PENANAgPQccPtjUq
"I agree with Zoey," said Seungri. "We need to celebrate."937Please respect copyright.PENANAIt2SGnPyhu
937Please respect copyright.PENANAMA2QnKCJcF
"I don't think it's a good idea," I said. "Don't you think we can just go out and have lunch instead?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAZsb60k56be
937Please respect copyright.PENANA8OuPOZ6qeq
"Bo-ring!" Zoey said it in a loud sing-song voice. "You're so not fun nowadays, Sam. A party will be awesome!"937Please respect copyright.PENANAk5f2R075wg
937Please respect copyright.PENANA0o3ceJQzsB
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAffZhfkyI0H
937Please respect copyright.PENANACcjSYGY1LH
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAcnYG3ZUQlo
937Please respect copyright.PENANAVNyKQQor60
"Ah, I forgot we've got these 'Netizens' around," said Zoey, putting a lot of emphasis on the word 'Netizens.'937Please respect copyright.PENANAp7rPDFX9Ph
937Please respect copyright.PENANAPLTRSt5Y3a
"I'm going with Sam on this one," said Christine. "Besides Yang Hyun-suk, don't forget there's Collins too."937Please respect copyright.PENANAqCpf31z5O1
937Please respect copyright.PENANA9B8KJsVOE2
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANA0sXxxTQI3M
937Please respect copyright.PENANA1ifzphKn7o
"I promise," I assured Zoey with my hand on my chest.937Please respect copyright.PENANAXy0PQONvG4
937Please respect copyright.PENANAKoWAuGtVqx
"Alright, that's settled then," said Taeyang. "I'll go get ready and tell our managers that we'll be leaving for lunch."937Please respect copyright.PENANA6fn4XWB8xW
937Please respect copyright.PENANAov9M75pbek
"Okay, thanks," I said.937Please respect copyright.PENANACw3zMKQMSK
937Please respect copyright.PENANABFVIBTHzSJ
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAvK0PT8amnp
937Please respect copyright.PENANA4JJQMWgrC2
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAkimFLCZMhP
937Please respect copyright.PENANA2KOluLgTvD
We left the YG premises and went to a famous pizza parlour. Daesung met us at there. Afterwards, we went out to have fun.937Please respect copyright.PENANAtcOpWfMHcX
937Please respect copyright.PENANAOoqrVJutvU
***937Please respect copyright.PENANAaffLhUf4ps
937Please respect copyright.PENANA2MbFephxN2
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAqY2hzLWpoN
937Please respect copyright.PENANAlBTex9oKox
"Hey guys," said Collins. "How was your day?"937Please respect copyright.PENANAQg3ePI3fG8
937Please respect copyright.PENANAd8Ulp9ibBM
"It was awesome!" said Zoey with a smile on her face. "After lunch, we went around the city."937Please respect copyright.PENANAFBefTiCdEr
937Please respect copyright.PENANAyrENHnp0nS
"Don't tell me you were stuck with Yang Hyun-suk the whole day yourselves," I said.937Please respect copyright.PENANAM0r5DWy66f
937Please respect copyright.PENANAyovfarllDg
"Yeah, about that...," started Lee as she bit her lower lip.937Please respect copyright.PENANAGhlEhNF7D4
937Please respect copyright.PENANAMFFnKby4iH
"What's wrong? When you do that, then something's up," said Daniel.937Please respect copyright.PENANAjaUQvG1zXu
937Please respect copyright.PENANAmsmXvotkB1
"Let's sit in the lounge, please," said Collins.937Please respect copyright.PENANAp3vHpUqLCY
937Please respect copyright.PENANAQr0b6oFbh9
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAjklETJEKX6
937Please respect copyright.PENANA31SxuLYJIE
"What's wrong, Collins?" I asked.937Please respect copyright.PENANAdiMRFXgkcH
937Please respect copyright.PENANAKUDOtJ4Rrf
"I'm sorry to spoil your evening with what I'm about to tell you," said Collins, "but this is important."937Please respect copyright.PENANACSOQM8yQ1n
937Please respect copyright.PENANAUutRQH2lRY
"Oh, boy," muttered Zoey.937Please respect copyright.PENANAxX5AEE1ti8
937Please respect copyright.PENANA42iXeYc9UX
"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."937Please respect copyright.PENANAYIMPSGFGyz
937Please respect copyright.PENANAK9XPdWIoM6
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAakaTSVsnSW
937Please respect copyright.PENANAzgI455Nfve
"What do we have to do now, Collins?" I asked with my eyes closed, expecting the worst.
