Meeting WINNER the 743Please respect copyright.PENANADfrOaL6cLz
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 743Please respect copyright.PENANAOTLLZ6oOmm
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 743Please respect copyright.PENANAVYwTNGHqQn
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 743Please respect copyright.PENANAK40rFPzj9K
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 743Please respect copyright.PENANAXKGCvtTvVU
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.743Please respect copyright.PENANAbiRnMnV78Y
With the little time we 743Please respect copyright.PENANAZKHGUw7eB0
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again743Please respect copyright.PENANAQFcImt8Lpv
as we all got to know each other.743Please respect copyright.PENANAwqRp12wqCd
Seungyoon, the leader 743Please respect copyright.PENANALFc4pT9S89
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 743Please respect copyright.PENANAd5cDp6zotP
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a743Please respect copyright.PENANAmpKK1wmvVA
fun and nice person to be around with.743Please respect copyright.PENANAFFQCplFBg3
Then there is Mino, who 743Please respect copyright.PENANAk0E6td8Uvo
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for743Please respect copyright.PENANAfU78HoTt4M
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 743Please respect copyright.PENANAvxW1mgyL4M
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.743Please respect copyright.PENANATI4WkoIXX6
As for Jinwoo and 743Please respect copyright.PENANA5MpsjNTlKQ
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.743Please respect copyright.PENANATPoCCnXRKa
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 743Please respect copyright.PENANAejfcW8tYX1
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 743Please respect copyright.PENANAFxelP7Rztq
in Korea.743Please respect copyright.PENANAy17Q6a8W5Z
As for Seunghoon, I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAkVzkEhhw0S
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking743Please respect copyright.PENANA3EIXdeBJ1I
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 743Please respect copyright.PENANA3RkDlmaWLi
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.743Please respect copyright.PENANADfcD4qAOSv
Before they left, we 743Please respect copyright.PENANAiTNgfsg48e
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 743Please respect copyright.PENANAsn2j2hay9r
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 743Please respect copyright.PENANAS8IgR31Dfi
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 743Please respect copyright.PENANAe5lsOvhUNz
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done743Please respect copyright.PENANAR9xI1zT8LL
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 743Please respect copyright.PENANA1YIeyuM0kM
place?743Please respect copyright.PENANAYEZNp83CKG
I already had that part 743Please respect copyright.PENANAsBJF7N9hEe
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 743Please respect copyright.PENANA8tiha76Lbv
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 743Please respect copyright.PENANA6f6o0TPyGL
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 743Please respect copyright.PENANA3BBssy4c26
wouldn't have to break a sweat.743Please respect copyright.PENANAfItM2kzGpT
Right now, this very 743Please respect copyright.PENANAeab9fdWTs8
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 743Please respect copyright.PENANAsFiBTzfiFG
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 743Please respect copyright.PENANAGxal1XF2A5
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee743Please respect copyright.PENANAc7RMxWrKPW
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 743Please respect copyright.PENANAs1h0qjOcyC
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 743Please respect copyright.PENANAWNNs6Jf18Z
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.743Please respect copyright.PENANAYIOLypNFe8
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.743Please respect copyright.PENANAiCjM9k9LFm
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANAK9B5JkeZGs
"I'm tired of sleeping,"743Please respect copyright.PENANACPwXkz2woO
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 743Please respect copyright.PENANACJplkFSx5b
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 743Please respect copyright.PENANAMrsKQlyyIg
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.743Please respect copyright.PENANAy1wbrKVjy4
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.743Please respect copyright.PENANAWuVvu3ZGTK
"Ya, I guess," I replied as I leaned back on my chair and rubbed my eyes. "I was thinking we get back to the old routine."743Please respect copyright.PENANAmoBMyErg1U
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.743Please respect copyright.PENANASlGZiY8hs7
"You know, going for 743Please respect copyright.PENANAUHcON5Re22
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAc9fmFRqDBN
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 743Please respect copyright.PENANAuIUMCeIUfv
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 743Please respect copyright.PENANAfQdMTIEUXy
we try to do what we're familiar with."743Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jx6KqZlqG
"Mmmm, I guess you're 743Please respect copyright.PENANAg0BP0U9HAH
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 743Please respect copyright.PENANAcgvGTMHwxr
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 743Please respect copyright.PENANA69NedMfu5t
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."743Please respect copyright.PENANAGn2opv6evt
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.743Please respect copyright.PENANABXfWPJ9vnK
"Yep," Collins nodded 743Please respect copyright.PENANA0M8yh98Kbo
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 743Please respect copyright.PENANArg0fmp1aWL
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 743Please respect copyright.PENANAQTBkJsYnbT
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 743Please respect copyright.PENANAJKzhl0uku9
good now, will it?"743Please respect copyright.PENANA6ctTEahvYq
Wow. This was literally 743Please respect copyright.PENANAPpctKtHJ8G
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 743Please respect copyright.PENANA7eylfX729F
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.743Please respect copyright.PENANAcZxATlfn91
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.743Please respect copyright.PENANAdGk9fpcZft
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.743Please respect copyright.PENANAobnfENV9hH
I left the lounge at a 743Please respect copyright.PENANA02HJm8DXr0
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 743Please respect copyright.PENANAijlERvdNbu
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door743Please respect copyright.PENANAMywwMbFgzH
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.743Please respect copyright.PENANAG08RveSrDi
Zoey sat up with a start743Please respect copyright.PENANA6F2UGBfqu5
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 743Please respect copyright.PENANAynXeR3eCdV
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.743Please respect copyright.PENANAys4lJz24XN
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"743Please respect copyright.PENANA6ud5TlmMB2
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.743Please respect copyright.PENANAONl6PPOobB
At first she didn't say a743Please respect copyright.PENANAVZIkCHZfy2
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 743Please respect copyright.PENANA32YI53Vcbw
looking at me with her eyes wide open.743Please respect copyright.PENANAFlZ9iwdoAk
"What did you say?" she asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANA4YQlD4EOR5
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.743Please respect copyright.PENANAwyvwqdX0uy
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAMdaiOjFba9
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."743Please respect copyright.PENANAJPCC9lrmUe
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAvyJayEuoZR
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."743Please respect copyright.PENANA5mBaf4JSgi
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."743Please respect copyright.PENANAIoVKAczwKX
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.743Please respect copyright.PENANABGKAX6bnWw
I went to wake up 743Please respect copyright.PENANAQfpVu4vheW
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I743Please respect copyright.PENANAvvCbLXNABp
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.743Please respect copyright.PENANARqTxo97Dsz
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAaa1qT0QzJn
"I gave a reasonable 743Please respect copyright.PENANAoDRa0xztrW
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 743Please respect copyright.PENANAFuPFPX4uvu
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAOCbRTgEMKV
I noticed Christine 743Please respect copyright.PENANAVISMIBLykY
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly743Please respect copyright.PENANAioi7EG8vPI
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 743Please respect copyright.PENANAGIqFQ1HTsY
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 743Please respect copyright.PENANAEi9OvQZF5l
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.743Please respect copyright.PENANAQqRwqWe6rR
When we all had our bags743Please respect copyright.PENANAUHxzffapQP
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 743Please respect copyright.PENANAmsJolUgO0b
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 743Please respect copyright.PENANAdYQAxtVehD
looked at us.743Please respect copyright.PENANAHofP1mXKDO
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.743Please respect copyright.PENANApqzH9TlI2k
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."743Please respect copyright.PENANAKwgkVh60j5
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.743Please respect copyright.PENANAahZUI8xmmB
"I hate when you use my 743Please respect copyright.PENANAd3AQgUnTVm
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 743Please respect copyright.PENANARQY3R2VlBa
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."743Please respect copyright.PENANAAXDgLWy5jo
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."743Please respect copyright.PENANAryzKCDBf4t
Collins rolled his eyes 743Please respect copyright.PENANAa6RMhwW34N
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 743Please respect copyright.PENANAv2bnHVidjw
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."743Please respect copyright.PENANABYkbkegoHc
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANAsci3eoohCc
"I would really love to,743Please respect copyright.PENANAq9pQe9n5jC
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass743Please respect copyright.PENANAuIWhOGhb0o
by at lunchtime to check on you."743Please respect copyright.PENANAW373bMTQ8z
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.743Please respect copyright.PENANAXnfNTbldIj
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.743Please respect copyright.PENANAijE3jYhTXh
"Nothing," said Christine.743Please respect copyright.PENANA81rHvlyvF4
I noticed Mike give 743Please respect copyright.PENANAxtPIER4fzj
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut743Please respect copyright.PENANAkUwf7Q2N9a
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 743Please respect copyright.PENANAutr4uYrq0v
going on.743Please respect copyright.PENANA7BXt6lbgRu
"It's just about the 743Please respect copyright.PENANA16wMuLobgW
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 743Please respect copyright.PENANAL0vBMAbWsQ
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 743Please respect copyright.PENANAi9CSRczEf4
happened."743Please respect copyright.PENANAqMrCJ3xLt7
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."743Please respect copyright.PENANA1czBkBqdA7
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."743Please respect copyright.PENANA2yPgiC5iAZ
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.743Please respect copyright.PENANAMWKs8ph1AJ
When we arrived at YG, 743Please respect copyright.PENANAB8Eb0Z34A1
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 743Please respect copyright.PENANAMy0Pj4unvK
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.743Please respect copyright.PENANAnlnVJmxLdi
"I already informed the 743Please respect copyright.PENANAjuUOX5VfRq
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 743Please respect copyright.PENANAfZdRNxnMjF
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAeVTlaxmgVh
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."743Please respect copyright.PENANAFKQfF2jB2w
"I know you will. See you later."743Please respect copyright.PENANAnTlixbT5Zb
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.743Please respect copyright.PENANAApotozpxGY
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.743Please respect copyright.PENANAh52JBD15IX
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.743Please respect copyright.PENANAM9LwuQ2stW
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.743Please respect copyright.PENANAnCMhyOH5Wo
"Careful, Zoey," I said 743Please respect copyright.PENANAv6ZWQAzQx5
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 743Please respect copyright.PENANAuoMw0Dv2FX
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."743Please respect copyright.PENANApDIocNVhzP
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.743Please respect copyright.PENANApmQQ9SQFQH
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANA1Iqz3gtYKn
"I did that when we were in the car," I said when Zoey had finally let go of my neck and we had reached the elevator.743Please respect copyright.PENANA5wt7Kk8IXB
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.743Please respect copyright.PENANAjYgK6uxheO
"No," I said as the 743Please respect copyright.PENANAc2KFEtzDPr
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 743Please respect copyright.PENANA3J2Cndo3lj
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 743Please respect copyright.PENANAQUWl70Wh1D
studios.743Please respect copyright.PENANAMMQ3JTknrm
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.743Please respect copyright.PENANAZCWjyvrkdj
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."743Please respect copyright.PENANAgaxzblrFiV
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."743Please respect copyright.PENANAS6BYEaF1aZ
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.743Please respect copyright.PENANAReYYUKLcJs
"That's different."743Please respect copyright.PENANAtpbbAktmC9
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."743Please respect copyright.PENANADAG6TN6LWs
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAepLQag9cGi
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."743Please respect copyright.PENANATbJRPbZ4RS
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.743Please respect copyright.PENANAAGjtxTNmmH
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.743Please respect copyright.PENANAivy0T9lFJN
It was so much fun 743Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ8TydIUkE
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 743Please respect copyright.PENANAKBXKMx496q
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 743Please respect copyright.PENANAp35cUrzlD9
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.743Please respect copyright.PENANAsGOX9LRxrG
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.743Please respect copyright.PENANAKaaBaPzCI2
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.743Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5rSLAYcmO
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."743Please respect copyright.PENANAriwG4uBhQm
"I'm so glad I told Collins that we should do this again. You've become so lazy. Stand up. Let's go for another round."743Please respect copyright.PENANAYb5WCFazS8
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAI36DJ3EUVT
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.743Please respect copyright.PENANAjA5GpRCH9P
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.743Please respect copyright.PENANAuNEkMES9cR
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."743Please respect copyright.PENANAKovpykLKrt
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."743Please respect copyright.PENANAtWF3Hy7FJp
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."743Please respect copyright.PENANAgslLSxGJFE
"Come on, Zoey," I 743Please respect copyright.PENANA89Tzfgy0dR
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 743Please respect copyright.PENANAf875osoDdX
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."743Please respect copyright.PENANAta53lB0yGg
"What song?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAejZrVPgGEo
I didn't answer when I 743Please respect copyright.PENANA4mFy7mq8kB
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 743Please respect copyright.PENANA0o8Hl3aP4M
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 743Please respect copyright.PENANA1bojYSI2Vg
pill soon started to play.743Please respect copyright.PENANA5EGFLY8AIy
I turned around and I found Zoey already up from the floor and looking at me. I smiled. I knew she would get up to this song.743Please respect copyright.PENANAgoM1cMmQBb
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.743Please respect copyright.PENANAoy6NHTq1wa
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.743Please respect copyright.PENANA03mWPTFAvc
When the lyrics were sang out, Zoey started to dance and I watched her, then it was my turn to step in and dance too.743Please respect copyright.PENANAdImMK8SfQ1
It's been a while since I743Please respect copyright.PENANAvSOq6sC0t0
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 743Please respect copyright.PENANAduzUf7iJEK
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 743Please respect copyright.PENANAOejNbjP34j
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.743Please respect copyright.PENANA9Kq8PDBkk5
At the end of it, the 743Please respect copyright.PENANA5qZjt1mUM7
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 743Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1A110qpZ7
our moves synchronising with one another.743Please respect copyright.PENANA4kKqpw8aa5
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.743Please respect copyright.PENANAxbeaidJQlG
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."743Please respect copyright.PENANAbqKDKTHXbl
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.743Please respect copyright.PENANAiMluxGvERM
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.743Please respect copyright.PENANAykCH1vfkRo
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.743Please respect copyright.PENANA3IQ3BJ0UpW
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."743Please respect copyright.PENANAUcxN1nniuR
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."743Please respect copyright.PENANAcI8U2zIoWM
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.743Please respect copyright.PENANA6h2OBhkbVV
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.743Please respect copyright.PENANAC6mmaxPqWG
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANAfn2D7cSHJN
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.743Please respect copyright.PENANAW5SbZgxyqs
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAbplrJJSrUz
Mino and Seunghoon both 743Please respect copyright.PENANAMYJPnPvBJW
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 743Please respect copyright.PENANAKi0KL60t1I
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.743Please respect copyright.PENANAgvfD1TgW9X
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.743Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ0Z8tBwwF
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.743Please respect copyright.PENANAL5foao8eII
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."743Please respect copyright.PENANA542vAhaY6v
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.743Please respect copyright.PENANAPwQqjK3azL
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAbmHRfaODpk
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 743Please respect copyright.PENANAKP3Uomh2Wl
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."743Please respect copyright.PENANAnMGYBbJ5KR
I shook my head at Zoey and said nothing. She could be so persistent at times and right now, I couldn't do anything to stop her.743Please respect copyright.PENANAMyOq6XrM9I
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.743Please respect copyright.PENANAJtBd8RjDnT
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANApbXl0D227V
I nudged my head to the 743Please respect copyright.PENANATVseO0875e
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 743Please respect copyright.PENANA7yAjbMUV3Y
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the743Please respect copyright.PENANARzANWdH0cq
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.743Please respect copyright.PENANAw0mVQCQImA
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.743Please respect copyright.PENANAjocd1Fz2Te
Seunghoon lips were 743Please respect copyright.PENANA1fPiMl2FlL
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was743Please respect copyright.PENANAvw7sDerMeU
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose743Please respect copyright.PENANAYj3RSL8Kiq
focus.743Please respect copyright.PENANA51cq8CD93y
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.743Please respect copyright.PENANATnsSYULUbR
"The others might, but I743Please respect copyright.PENANAEIcb0TICsC
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going743Please respect copyright.PENANA50DDAlxhk9
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 743Please respect copyright.PENANAkwAHoP4K3c
when TOP came to pick me up?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAAKAIw7C8J1
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."743Please respect copyright.PENANASMiTw8dsHZ
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAOqJnKPdQkB
He again took a step closer. "Yes."743Please respect copyright.PENANA06VoQUQha9
Well, that made sense 743Please respect copyright.PENANA9e5gARzsaU
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 743Please respect copyright.PENANAwsnBMnekoF
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 743Please respect copyright.PENANAZxx5yFYTAm
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 743Please respect copyright.PENANAeZdoqKeRzD
seen.743Please respect copyright.PENANAVKoHJzkccr
I hadn't realised it 743Please respect copyright.PENANAbG2p4it2qk
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking743Please respect copyright.PENANAhinr21GRGU
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 743Please respect copyright.PENANAfh37JxFHzW
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 743Please respect copyright.PENANA4DCwe1rEcj
uncomfortable.743Please respect copyright.PENANAKNEdiBqukz
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.743Please respect copyright.PENANAMRnslH3bZ9
"Well, yes," he 743Please respect copyright.PENANAtL0EVmhveV
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 743Please respect copyright.PENANATSccS8iT9w
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."743Please respect copyright.PENANALZXgxMDEJg
"If you're such a fan why didn't you stalk the others as well?" I asked as I looked at him. "I'm not the only Toxin."743Please respect copyright.PENANAsndpZ1vvNf
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.743Please respect copyright.PENANAAJe0SwUQrF
I blushed and I was a 743Please respect copyright.PENANA4cWFaXaN70
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 743Please respect copyright.PENANA1844IIGLbg
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 743Please respect copyright.PENANAkvJljUTOhr
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 743Please respect copyright.PENANA8prqTWghvJ
celebrities.743Please respect copyright.PENANAlNZwIu0kbs
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"743Please respect copyright.PENANALfdo6cOrRi
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.743Please respect copyright.PENANA7LR9gxnl6O
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."743Please respect copyright.PENANAE8P4b29Px8
"No, they don't," I lied743Please respect copyright.PENANAlCLiLmJnC3
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 743Please respect copyright.PENANAlWf8p4dm0i
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 743Please respect copyright.PENANApBv8hffRDZ
others had arrived.743Please respect copyright.PENANAGd3df2QTiY
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.743Please respect copyright.PENANAtDa8NkAKBX
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.743Please respect copyright.PENANAeYzSlqDvnP
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.743Please respect copyright.PENANAfMRCfTBe2Q
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAdjzXOPS5qJ
"Awesome," I replied.743Please respect copyright.PENANA1DCzKIHRSE
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.743Please respect copyright.PENANA9YD1PehOBq
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.743Please respect copyright.PENANAEePTwU5BvJ
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.743Please respect copyright.PENANAjEKe9ZlYP9
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.743Please respect copyright.PENANAqwFFqWcQ0e
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.743Please respect copyright.PENANAvd9VhTw0xD
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.743Please respect copyright.PENANAXGzyybRddL
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."743Please respect copyright.PENANAmzIbCUjZj2
"And besides, you and I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAgXMYuupsIP
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 743Please respect copyright.PENANAWCG9zMan6g
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 743Please respect copyright.PENANALnvWaViZqU
and Seunghoon showed up."743Please respect copyright.PENANAryXjbqxgY0
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.743Please respect copyright.PENANABFd3RR1LGr
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.743Please respect copyright.PENANAhCgbqD8cLv
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."743Please respect copyright.PENANAQzdIshso8O
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.743Please respect copyright.PENANABiQFSYiSW9
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.743Please respect copyright.PENANAm0W2GSJrXQ
Apparently, he wasn't 743Please respect copyright.PENANAh1sVNFYc2V
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all743Please respect copyright.PENANAEa7EMIVcOv
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that743Please respect copyright.PENANAE77ucL0RLh
just made him look even more adorable.743Please respect copyright.PENANAaV1JvDUCwf
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.743Please respect copyright.PENANAcbJupLe09H
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."743Please respect copyright.PENANAeobhNIX4qG
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.743Please respect copyright.PENANAFxut8U9RQW
"Yes!" I heard the four 743Please respect copyright.PENANAAZxSFctypF
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 743Please respect copyright.PENANAy44v8h4PdM
at the track list. Then, something came to me.743Please respect copyright.PENANANafNzmDpxV
"Change of plans, Zoey,"743Please respect copyright.PENANAnikBjIjksX
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want743Please respect copyright.PENANAymUKt8OkkY
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."743Please respect copyright.PENANATgYyuxuAxM
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."743Please respect copyright.PENANA9NDnY8vOLh
"Since we danced to one of your favourite songs, I'll pick my own." I gave her a smirk. "And it's a k-pop song."743Please respect copyright.PENANAnwPEHy4pd6
"This just got interesting," said Mino.743Please respect copyright.PENANAmCSFBwhpQ0
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAEd7ETwULuL
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."743Please respect copyright.PENANA9leAEJ8IxD
"Taeyang is going to 743Please respect copyright.PENANAJn1t96YeqM
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 743Please respect copyright.PENANALn9nyzOwN3
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."743Please respect copyright.PENANAIeK3Ff1Erh
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."743Please respect copyright.PENANAqt70QszQzd
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.743Please respect copyright.PENANAp25f6qPLmN
I tapped the track on my743Please respect copyright.PENANAdWFmZuzpRW
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 743Please respect copyright.PENANA9QpcIcYhX9
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.743Please respect copyright.PENANAJxMQBwSSF0
When the song started, I743Please respect copyright.PENANAE0YzbxKukX
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 743Please respect copyright.PENANAMDi5aC2UQ7
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 743Please respect copyright.PENANArEUX3jZkWQ
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAufAxCknaww
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to743Please respect copyright.PENANANVaR1VsJUm
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 743Please respect copyright.PENANACMg1GAo4Ad
doing a pretty good with the moves too.743Please respect copyright.PENANAzuxUPmDsTN
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.743Please respect copyright.PENANAPkH8zpTi6b
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.743Please respect copyright.PENANA53mfYymBku
"Whenever it came to the743Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0ii0nJaj5
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 743Please respect copyright.PENANA3iqwH9mxmX
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."743Please respect copyright.PENANAgJwIEIzrDM
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."743Please respect copyright.PENANARScQS9puoV
"Thanks, guys," I said.743Please respect copyright.PENANAJnXxQ0l8nS
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.743Please respect copyright.PENANAP3l4L6w8SI
"Now, coming to my 743Please respect copyright.PENANA6cFnHU3gHM
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 743Please respect copyright.PENANAOtbkuefpPB
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 743Please respect copyright.PENANAD9sFcW30ka
think is a better dancer?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAcwx5xw0ZEC
"Wait," I said before anyone could say anything. I put the bottle of water to my lips and drank some water. "Don't answer that."743Please respect copyright.PENANAN636n0oYfO
"Why?" Zoey asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANApzNA5tDHno
"I think you and I both 743Please respect copyright.PENANAD6piuNcRYS
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 743Please respect copyright.PENANA2n7Hmp9ugA
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 743Please respect copyright.PENANA39PUPobDNr
That counts for something, right?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAdA9W3iBRVV
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."743Please respect copyright.PENANAgtWkPM4lMF
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."743Please respect copyright.PENANAADIQ3s7SwS
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.743Please respect copyright.PENANAJfF4pZ6OdH
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"743Please respect copyright.PENANADMkV6mYKkB
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANA20yJC62vHM
"Well, ya." Mike 743Please respect copyright.PENANABwwkBgvak9
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 743Please respect copyright.PENANAJe4SofwT1Z
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 743Please respect copyright.PENANA25yTsGtVaz
sentence as he looked at Zoey.743Please respect copyright.PENANAoBjcaZpE4Q
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."743Please respect copyright.PENANAOeaqbbbt36
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.743Please respect copyright.PENANAd0CC2Mtsfs
"I also think it will be743Please respect copyright.PENANAPOEaTf9WwM
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 743Please respect copyright.PENANATL8nc5LZ4q
obviously bring out a better opinion."743Please respect copyright.PENANAT99DzkIUgt
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.743Please respect copyright.PENANAxcOopFguc1
"Count me out of it," I 743Please respect copyright.PENANA3dyPxXpc5R
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAP570d1IpcH
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."743Please respect copyright.PENANAgkm8gzxyyp
"Fine, I'll create a 743Please respect copyright.PENANA1xYtkf1633
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how743Please respect copyright.PENANAOWPno4Eeq2
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though743Please respect copyright.PENANAve1yTnQcUv
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."743Please respect copyright.PENANAvy6l22TDLe
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."743Please respect copyright.PENANAbIHoCdlOFo
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."743Please respect copyright.PENANAnIGofU6Agh
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.743Please respect copyright.PENANAzkCaj5TDU3
Zoey and Mike soon got 743Please respect copyright.PENANAYKqsGworxl
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 743Please respect copyright.PENANA5NUugBWyru
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 743Please respect copyright.PENANASFcA2zseVm
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance743Please respect copyright.PENANAi3YjcGcRX5
battle.743Please respect copyright.PENANAwci6N5R82Y
I got my phone and the 743Please respect copyright.PENANAn2ff4y58OR
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAm8vELpXsAe
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.743Please respect copyright.PENANAntHbZYxmof
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.743Please respect copyright.PENANACIyAXRA2I9
I turned to look at him 743Please respect copyright.PENANA9IjYCoYldu
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 743Please respect copyright.PENANAs06McnsD10
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 743Please respect copyright.PENANAOyl8KfwVaw
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 743Please respect copyright.PENANAudQDsv2WjW
smile if they were to look at him.743Please respect copyright.PENANAGaPulqvH83
"No," I replied, still with a smile on my face. "I don't want to know what the fans think and I'm clearly not in a mood."743Please respect copyright.PENANARcl5lSAZHG
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.743Please respect copyright.PENANABU036V4CZP
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."743Please respect copyright.PENANAcIj9HNe4NS
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."743Please respect copyright.PENANA3U5AbCSI6H
"You're right about that."743Please respect copyright.PENANAzIRwDhpGRA
I looked behind me with a743Please respect copyright.PENANAYrSTBbbgIR
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 743Please respect copyright.PENANANrahTie7Wn
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 743Please respect copyright.PENANA0fbL3z5DsP
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 743Please respect copyright.PENANAY5WB9GIkKx
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.743Please respect copyright.PENANA133zELNhaR
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 743Please respect copyright.PENANA4OMHURtP9w
"Not anytime soon," I said as I looked at him. "What are we planning to do today, anyway? We all can't stay here at YG."743Please respect copyright.PENANAEVRuD7ZkVL
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAzOXsyP94t2
"No, not yet actually." I stared at my phone to look at the time. "It's almost ten. Collins expects us to be here till lunch."743Please respect copyright.PENANAUGYq5K59Tx
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."743Please respect copyright.PENANAtLP4tvmHIJ
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."743Please respect copyright.PENANAr8ffErPSml
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.743Please respect copyright.PENANAyw2cNugpa0
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.743Please respect copyright.PENANAkoiAT7e0m5
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANAInEPciSo7e
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."743Please respect copyright.PENANAXtfSnsThAT
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANAd1y8UTqazp
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."743Please respect copyright.PENANAKvSdtmgAy6
"I sure hope so," I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAzpGSmq15w8
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 743Please respect copyright.PENANAiXSgISp0XC
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."743Please respect copyright.PENANAPsoing0GeI
"What about those two?" 743Please respect copyright.PENANA3JVV6sOxja
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 743Please respect copyright.PENANAjelpEix1lz
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 743Please respect copyright.PENANAEAMKyn4WWK
soon.743Please respect copyright.PENANA29nP1ssZMS
"They will notice when 743Please respect copyright.PENANARWZYxR5adL
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 743Please respect copyright.PENANAcSVUwB86sc
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAl5Uv8M9fBc
"Sure," he said with a smile.743Please respect copyright.PENANAepOZ192pxc
Christine, Daniel and I 743Please respect copyright.PENANA7hh6xhoTJu
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 743Please respect copyright.PENANAHvQnovyaxW
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.743Please respect copyright.PENANAUijIBQ8teG
Twenty minutes later, I 743Please respect copyright.PENANArBE7OTwcoP
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 743Please respect copyright.PENANA9LHa72tMUM
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 743Please respect copyright.PENANAguVmX2vTjP
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 743Please respect copyright.PENANAznqlFMntC7
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 743Please respect copyright.PENANAXcHtvbJXUZ
in the shower room, still patching herself up.743Please respect copyright.PENANAyCwqFvyzEU
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.743Please respect copyright.PENANABpYqfI6QL4
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."743Please respect copyright.PENANAUQLC9rKSZL
"Why? Anything special?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAh2Kj0YCPI6
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.743Please respect copyright.PENANA2wA8ssJRGK
"Oh, nothing," I stared 743Please respect copyright.PENANAbe5YHh28a5
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAMtm4fAhTEc
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 743Please respect copyright.PENANAqyemxsUZHy
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."743Please respect copyright.PENANA5TSEokwe0g
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.743Please respect copyright.PENANA5AQA6TWIZi
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.743Please respect copyright.PENANAFxLOflkP18
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.743Please respect copyright.PENANAnhMahWBGjD
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.743Please respect copyright.PENANAkjuqLnsIvP
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."743Please respect copyright.PENANAz7j5CK2eRF
"What are you talking about?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7WCSYezGL
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAJfNK6VUsUr
Christine's mouth fell 743Please respect copyright.PENANAne3z1mmu5B
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 743Please respect copyright.PENANAG0CHZ68eVP
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.743Please respect copyright.PENANAKL6Zd0TRNl
"No, I don't," she said.743Please respect copyright.PENANAgJgTOdxHjG
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAafhWCkp4tM
do like him but only as a fan girl."743Please respect copyright.PENANAlUXKdZlduG
"Please, I saw the way 743Please respect copyright.PENANAy2tLn66ycQ
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that743Please respect copyright.PENANAmL77Uxk3Cm
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."743Please respect copyright.PENANA8CqHwIwTSK
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 743Please respect copyright.PENANAgqlACNOj7m
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of743Please respect copyright.PENANAAaFHouOiZH
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 743Please respect copyright.PENANAbbQwGC3wzs
more."743Please respect copyright.PENANAkmLkIZ9cg6
"Ya, right," I said as I743Please respect copyright.PENANAWwE2x0QSSj
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 743Please respect copyright.PENANA9qA7tQv1K3
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 743Please respect copyright.PENANAl924V9llVq
weird look on your face."743Please respect copyright.PENANAym36DA1HQL
"What weird look?"743Please respect copyright.PENANA50PKrwDncF
"The jealous one."743Please respect copyright.PENANASL7vDUrfg5
"Spare me the drama, Sam."743Please respect copyright.PENANAIQvVbvR9Ne
"If Zoey was the one 743Please respect copyright.PENANAlNjJc8ksFv
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 743Please respect copyright.PENANAfBckFPGByv
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 743Please respect copyright.PENANAzEisGAPXQ1
Jinwoo."743Please respect copyright.PENANAH0v6Wkv2Cn
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.743Please respect copyright.PENANApme3KJqWbr
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAPNwPCYCNVB
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."743Please respect copyright.PENANAmnj6fQkdiN
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.743Please respect copyright.PENANAxsnVifjWtv
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.743Please respect copyright.PENANAN2BGvwWnbo
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.743Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vi2dzlMMA
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.743Please respect copyright.PENANAaBA9G1PQeO
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.743Please respect copyright.PENANAU5ELtcfq4T
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAnPYyKp6YpR
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.743Please respect copyright.PENANA9OzzdLiq0U
Mike gave Christine a 743Please respect copyright.PENANA3aY3hYak1Q
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 743Please respect copyright.PENANAHHYDkIbHi6
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't743Please respect copyright.PENANAJKWaAIzHCS
wrong about that.743Please respect copyright.PENANAkmZ8gAeRV0
We decided to go back to743Please respect copyright.PENANAZC4h22vvR8
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 743Please respect copyright.PENANA4ffA8PphyF
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,743Please respect copyright.PENANA9McxZCSEGN
this happened:743Please respect copyright.PENANApURh36QhGq
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.743Please respect copyright.PENANAXx3ZPY7f3A
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.743Please respect copyright.PENANAtckIgFkjjh
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.743Please respect copyright.PENANADx7ehntz3M
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."743Please respect copyright.PENANA1pjo9QaPO8
I wanted to frown at him743Please respect copyright.PENANApDapGbIEnu
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 743Please respect copyright.PENANAw1BTMvirsq
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.743Please respect copyright.PENANAVAj6eWkm97
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.743Please respect copyright.PENANANj67kjsVTG
I looked at Jinwoo and I743Please respect copyright.PENANAvp5MLUg0MJ
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 743Please respect copyright.PENANAjyAgwKO2wD
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 743Please respect copyright.PENANAmIIP0ANs8i
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.743Please respect copyright.PENANAB5TOn3uPQ6
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.743Please respect copyright.PENANAzAmWDjhHdd
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANAPqVgZnOJGR
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.743Please respect copyright.PENANAXLUU6xsBdA
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."743Please respect copyright.PENANAJNUxbOxWQi
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANAikFQLm4VA4
"Good idea. Let's go."743Please respect copyright.PENANA9vpwqFxAjP
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANAjAp1j8PCny
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.743Please respect copyright.PENANA4525Tcaxjg
Before he could say 743Please respect copyright.PENANAqpQMtgFYaY
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I743Please respect copyright.PENANA5gAMEW5b0v
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped743Please respect copyright.PENANAJMozz26CAa
out of the room, he was snickering.743Please respect copyright.PENANAJZyGX45QR3
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.743Please respect copyright.PENANAWXDknvkUpu
"Just because I'm his 743Please respect copyright.PENANA5LdVmylGC0
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being743Please respect copyright.PENANAdyb9IDvuhD
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAKwBbUcAi4B
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."743Please respect copyright.PENANASUqaIIUeaC
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"743Please respect copyright.PENANARbctYKhN6j
"Actually, it was only 743Please respect copyright.PENANAwzH4liWM6M
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 743Please respect copyright.PENANAB7Q5r5F1zs
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."743Please respect copyright.PENANArgxe9dK1jI
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.743Please respect copyright.PENANATOUggYszlO
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.743Please respect copyright.PENANA3DKH1G4Wfn
When we got to the 743Please respect copyright.PENANAQfrwLET2BZ
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 743Please respect copyright.PENANAXd4z1SvPVJ
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 743Please respect copyright.PENANAHOFrDQW6BH
inside the elevator.743Please respect copyright.PENANAlukBE6fy2t
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.743Please respect copyright.PENANATB3lgpLclo
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."743Please respect copyright.PENANAqrAURDn9XN
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.743Please respect copyright.PENANAVDBvMqOVcf
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.743Please respect copyright.PENANAiatRHDU1XY
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."743Please respect copyright.PENANASfkfP7s9O6
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.743Please respect copyright.PENANAWhGoyD9MPJ
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANArZSxEQppeN
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."743Please respect copyright.PENANAap5kVkjmP8
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."743Please respect copyright.PENANAEpwpnbNoC9
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."743Please respect copyright.PENANAHrKjhD1dGk
"Well, if you're 743Please respect copyright.PENANApdf37ofSWs
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 743Please respect copyright.PENANAmvpc8ZABDH
his face and I could tell something was up.743Please respect copyright.PENANAEPI69CyJwk
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAoJjY0mcWiu
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."743Please respect copyright.PENANA04sBKsgGIx
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAAPjywVsKe9
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."743Please respect copyright.PENANA5ORMmrtA4d
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.743Please respect copyright.PENANAjwRbL9G1yM
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."743Please respect copyright.PENANA3AirBFYhB2
"I came to see you guys 743Please respect copyright.PENANAb1qUHqpI8u
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 743Please respect copyright.PENANAW1uzNdfkRP
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."743Please respect copyright.PENANAiICsHciYs6
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."743Please respect copyright.PENANAOzFNj0r4g9
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."743Please respect copyright.PENANAoZZcYUXC6d
"Okay, then you go and 743Please respect copyright.PENANAXeKwHsmOOQ
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino743Please respect copyright.PENANAXsd6awcHTH
to get Zoey as fast as we could."743Please respect copyright.PENANAc5BmPI3e0k
"I hate it when someone orders me around but I'll do it for you anyway," said TOP as he held my chin for a brief moment.743Please respect copyright.PENANADWn4E8ZAWf
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.743Please respect copyright.PENANABAsuudIHn3
We headed downstairs to 743Please respect copyright.PENANAUMyQaBXMfe
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 743Please respect copyright.PENANASt3PFFHZft
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.743Please respect copyright.PENANAL7cLvJ4vtu
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAIGMDw2Kcfq
"Trying to look good," 743Please respect copyright.PENANAfYAiiMV4uT
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 743Please respect copyright.PENANADtzeKwxxGL
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 743Please respect copyright.PENANAH0YkGIhXMT
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."743Please respect copyright.PENANAplh4WIN4VC
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.743Please respect copyright.PENANAYBr0bGZ2ct
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.743Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2cSoMYgyy
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."743Please respect copyright.PENANAssHGeJlYSH
"You're kidding, right?"743Please respect copyright.PENANA5VYn9c7DvI
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."743Please respect copyright.PENANABiJMRap529
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAhepmeWaNiN
"He shouldn't see The Toxins with WINNER," I said. "That's what we have to do. Come on, let's go before he gets here."743Please respect copyright.PENANAbdULRKVkbu
Just as I turned around 743Please respect copyright.PENANAh0OAQUQ8Ch
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 743Please respect copyright.PENANAAW2gtAbVLP
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 743Please respect copyright.PENANAsLrCLBjVES
the the floor we were on.743Please respect copyright.PENANAqoD6u9Mrgs
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.743Please respect copyright.PENANAzKSSN62jFG
Just as we turned round a743Please respect copyright.PENANACrwppFe1At
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 743Please respect copyright.PENANATTcqwNFx51
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAr7YZ4bKdKk
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 743Please respect copyright.PENANAfhIcGyoFTV
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.743Please respect copyright.PENANACgcQPGVBlF
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANANj0avyfI4K
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.743Please respect copyright.PENANAZfx9nJxWN5
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"743Please respect copyright.PENANADOPvefMEGS
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."743Please respect copyright.PENANAijBZGrjG7B
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"743Please respect copyright.PENANALKeS1jYaRr
I didn't say anything as743Please respect copyright.PENANAjAaHUgJuiU
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 743Please respect copyright.PENANAGZUwv9L1Ly
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 743Please respect copyright.PENANAQbvraSMn3S
Hyun-suk's voice.743Please respect copyright.PENANA3oaUVrQSes
Gosh, I muttered in my head. If I hadn't thought of hiding when I saw the elevator monitor, we would have been in so much trouble.743Please respect copyright.PENANAmwUapj7tTg
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.743Please respect copyright.PENANAoeQBJGu77K
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.743Please respect copyright.PENANAZiVXHMZlEx
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.743Please respect copyright.PENANAjxS03n2KQ4
I checked around with my743Please respect copyright.PENANAcI2fBzZ10y
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 743Please respect copyright.PENANAkU1MoSjqtU
the light went on in the tiny room.743Please respect copyright.PENANAFxqGYmsbCf
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANAs901AnelYj
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.743Please respect copyright.PENANAkDXdvOTHwa
I shook my head. "They are still there."743Please respect copyright.PENANAPujyn5x1Kj
Mino and Zoey both 743Please respect copyright.PENANABqLfRbk0iL
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 743Please respect copyright.PENANA6cNekSZRes
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAWavjAP6KiC
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 743Please respect copyright.PENANAvRMtt43D9m
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 743Please respect copyright.PENANAjNOzo8Dmts
behind me.743Please respect copyright.PENANAVSOnLtjIwW
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.743Please respect copyright.PENANADxvkHc2EFQ
"I think they are gone," I whispered.743Please respect copyright.PENANAyWujFyJSrx
"Try and check," Mino whispered.743Please respect copyright.PENANATZNtIUc8PA
I took hold of the door 743Please respect copyright.PENANAyn1xw7Gjlj
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 743Please respect copyright.PENANA0TRrBf4Bo0
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of743Please respect copyright.PENANA6fix5PXDdf
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.743Please respect copyright.PENANA0q8A7n61uG
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.743Please respect copyright.PENANAUM95gewM78
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.743Please respect copyright.PENANAzi2SFV6thD
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.743Please respect copyright.PENANApYwsJQvhU4
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.743Please respect copyright.PENANAR9rbkGXkYM
The three of us were 743Please respect copyright.PENANAxdTsfi445p
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 743Please respect copyright.PENANA6cVJ7RYaiU
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was743Please respect copyright.PENANAkqJ9L8HQRR
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 743Please respect copyright.PENANA9oNEpox1Ey
heard the phone ring.743Please respect copyright.PENANAD7tRmwH1Lc
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.743Please respect copyright.PENANAzVoDXOBqTd
I quickly took the bag 743Please respect copyright.PENANAC9ckgTa4I8
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 743Please respect copyright.PENANA9FISAbrFgS
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 743Please respect copyright.PENANAd3QILSZL5I
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 743Please respect copyright.PENANAATdM5cA6JW
anything strange."743Please respect copyright.PENANAjF6YYGswvc
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANAdUJDjurHyY
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."743Please respect copyright.PENANA1PEvz3vzlj
Mino and Zoey quickly 743Please respect copyright.PENANALVgswP0F2b
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 743Please respect copyright.PENANA0oDeJ0Hb9q
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 743Please respect copyright.PENANAXHoHST0lAV
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 743Please respect copyright.PENANAUArEwJgwue
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 743Please respect copyright.PENANAJOLi1sWr18
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.743Please respect copyright.PENANAicLyji9suq
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."743Please respect copyright.PENANA9wdnDostbj
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.743Please respect copyright.PENANAPo1JWMzDaG
A woman who was with them said, "I see you've grown into the Korean culture pretty quickly. I've to say I'm really impressed."743Please respect copyright.PENANAgqE21gLMta
I gave them a little 743Please respect copyright.PENANAhEKmBk2iT9
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 743Please respect copyright.PENANA9oL8vHoCZO
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 743Please respect copyright.PENANAsb6eFTxvpG
the place.743Please respect copyright.PENANANVu3qckfRH
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAPKATnd0KWm
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.743Please respect copyright.PENANAVyVt9HkkzI
"I must say, I watched 743Please respect copyright.PENANAwmt9dS5fdD
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 743Please respect copyright.PENANAXimyFfVcOQ
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 743Please respect copyright.PENANAdEm1wk2tii
black suit.743Please respect copyright.PENANATsTZLmQ71p
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.743Please respect copyright.PENANAYthNzJv8Qb
"You really do have good manners," said other man.743Please respect copyright.PENANA9hutGbMS3f
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.743Please respect copyright.PENANAwXnPYtitca
"I always do my best," I said politely.743Please respect copyright.PENANASuMvFZpBQy
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.743Please respect copyright.PENANAjC0Y2zmb2B
I felt my eyes were 743Please respect copyright.PENANAOi9bWYT5Yz
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 743Please respect copyright.PENANAPsA22btt1q
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 743Please respect copyright.PENANArmqefXSkL5
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 743Please respect copyright.PENANAU9m23E49KZ
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.743Please respect copyright.PENANA2meQdQAXXo
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"743Please respect copyright.PENANAnFvdTK67dV
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me743Please respect copyright.PENANABx7B1JEAbz
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 743Please respect copyright.PENANAYRRpWrvnz4
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAi1ek6jZrRd
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.743Please respect copyright.PENANAVUNtrrppiJ
"Since you haven't done so in a while, I bet you're really tired or you would have practised even longer. Maybe next time."743Please respect copyright.PENANAQi8OZNTsU2
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.743Please respect copyright.PENANAbS2JJWwcUE
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.743Please respect copyright.PENANAo86yG4xBfb
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."743Please respect copyright.PENANAmPyScWNy6n
I smiled as I bowed my 743Please respect copyright.PENANAMAZLANr7rv
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 743Please respect copyright.PENANAqHQPoz6BMD
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 743Please respect copyright.PENANAveaL9dp7oH
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I743Please respect copyright.PENANABNUn3zd6Zm
was until now.743Please respect copyright.PENANAoCuy1XopXu
I quickly ran to the 743Please respect copyright.PENANAT4EMJL7qLN
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 743Please respect copyright.PENANAHyaGhM54PP
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 743Please respect copyright.PENANA4uyuc2FCFq
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 743Please respect copyright.PENANATeJKudiAcT
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 743Please respect copyright.PENANAt9YwdO8PfL
see.743Please respect copyright.PENANArJPLYkcoXB
"Sam! You're okay," said Seunghoon as he was the first one to quickly rush down and reach me. He pulled me into a hug.743Please respect copyright.PENANAaCNJfRJMvj
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."743Please respect copyright.PENANAk3ktniDVY5
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.743Please respect copyright.PENANADwLJ8E6bVu
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.743Please respect copyright.PENANA3zFeFkWZEs
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.743Please respect copyright.PENANAyCG6IbhK5H
"Because I missed you."743Please respect copyright.PENANAszazTjQTRU
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.743Please respect copyright.PENANAuN2xozNS8a
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.743Please respect copyright.PENANAc8FEShKBqZ
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.743Please respect copyright.PENANAqZxc8snKcJ
When we reached the 743Please respect copyright.PENANAbIEh2u9ZgG
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 743Please respect copyright.PENANAOLd18pdWLs
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 743Please respect copyright.PENANAOQpeioV84M
lobby.743Please respect copyright.PENANA92Vi2W27ZL
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.743Please respect copyright.PENANA3RuJDBrzZw
"I think I've an idea," I743Please respect copyright.PENANAbC6GsdL1Jg
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going743Please respect copyright.PENANAtWUkvNp5p5
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 743Please respect copyright.PENANAnV4ATmNPYH
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."743Please respect copyright.PENANAYenTPxm5of
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.743Please respect copyright.PENANAMZfT17IM8E
I rolled my eyes. I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAG2D6S2qn8g
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself743Please respect copyright.PENANAB2oBWleArr
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 743Please respect copyright.PENANA22fpOVvrPD
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.743Please respect copyright.PENANA1RmlhRK2du
"Because I'm smart 743Please respect copyright.PENANAZdttqXSz3o
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such743Please respect copyright.PENANAic7X9f08jr
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"743Please respect copyright.PENANA67M3pir77F
Mino and TOP smiled at 743Please respect copyright.PENANAMtR83nX1XR
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 743Please respect copyright.PENANAs9j5b4FtGc
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 743Please respect copyright.PENANAQkG7Q0yuKG
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.743Please respect copyright.PENANAtH7ZdyadKQ
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."743Please respect copyright.PENANATbIGhonr7C
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANAQRb7otX7st
"If we don't take the 743Please respect copyright.PENANA08Jj8ylDGs
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 743Please respect copyright.PENANAVEPjEZvbYV
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."743Please respect copyright.PENANA2cSYtJ2hEJ
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.743Please respect copyright.PENANAB24Q1CximN
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.743Please respect copyright.PENANAkE4vIEHUZF
"You guys go right now 743Please respect copyright.PENANA7GqTSs1xnN
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAO2qN9FvhjP
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."743Please respect copyright.PENANAj8wceWsBzr
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.743Please respect copyright.PENANA8UImjJUTzw
"Because I need you around."743Please respect copyright.PENANAoSVRVz39Ru
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.743Please respect copyright.PENANAkuawa5b4h7
Seungyoon and his group 743Please respect copyright.PENANAYnSBT65l3v
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 743Please respect copyright.PENANApeBLVKatFt
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 743Please respect copyright.PENANATyI1hCwx3d
for ten minutes.743Please respect copyright.PENANAobSWfFoIMd
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANA8TKr7CciCz
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.743Please respect copyright.PENANA6QOANKD5FJ
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.743Please respect copyright.PENANANIbj5Y2ehB
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.743Please respect copyright.PENANAjWZoGPtZt6
"So if you guys are 743Please respect copyright.PENANAIKJqjdUZBP
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 743Please respect copyright.PENANAF6Xx2wChLl
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANAHh0A5MOuj2
"Why do you ask?" I asked.743Please respect copyright.PENANA63GqjyMySk
"You guys can't just 743Please respect copyright.PENANAvcpEfwpJ7y
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 743Please respect copyright.PENANABw1ql6CmA5
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 743Please respect copyright.PENANAF1HykR4XmZ
managers will find out what's going on."743Please respect copyright.PENANA5CQhRyRYxC
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.743Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3yFsIKxiX
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.743Please respect copyright.PENANAUzZN4A7auS
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.743Please respect copyright.PENANA8sHk98NYCi
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."743Please respect copyright.PENANAbKpeUMwCrt
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."743Please respect copyright.PENANAKLVz4FiJzV
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.743Please respect copyright.PENANAfgsqQGOPaU
The others quickly 743Please respect copyright.PENANAMwCUrTkjHc
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 743Please respect copyright.PENANAnS5bEy9h0i
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 743Please respect copyright.PENANAzUMPy7bdd7
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 743Please respect copyright.PENANAaTuXGSde2j
worried that they might have hit their heads.743Please respect copyright.PENANAFRtoay4x7t
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.743Please respect copyright.PENANA2FTeD2RSzm
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."743Please respect copyright.PENANAkCxiKrXAG0
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.743Please respect copyright.PENANA5Khh3uvI0S
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.743Please respect copyright.PENANAQ74iY38ezA
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.743Please respect copyright.PENANARwiklIyULX
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"743Please respect copyright.PENANAJ10cBKvGk6
As soon as I turned 743Please respect copyright.PENANAcv15StF4n8
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the743Please respect copyright.PENANANV6g11Qjj6
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 743Please respect copyright.PENANAvLz4UYNZmM
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 743Please respect copyright.PENANAOe0oVasadB
behind me paused ready for the worst.743Please respect copyright.PENANA9k4rgCx0oX
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.743Please respect copyright.PENANADK7Rrm4jIc
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."743Please respect copyright.PENANATlMnljasm3
"Well, this day just got743Please respect copyright.PENANA6CRDepz1vC
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about743Please respect copyright.PENANALJUR4PMJUg
it. I couldn't blame him for that.743Please respect copyright.PENANArjfl6psle1
Coming out of the 743Please respect copyright.PENANASRdrGtHhOq
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 743Please respect copyright.PENANArYkSy6OTGM
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 743Please respect copyright.PENANAvSBQdb1IxW
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.743Please respect copyright.PENANAZ59ZKMBVQT
I felt like I had stood 743Please respect copyright.PENANAryhJvUG4hC
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged743Please respect copyright.PENANAqTbGRJkpV9
me on the shoulder to get my attention.743Please respect copyright.PENANAFOyGddtOOj
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.743Please respect copyright.PENANA8tgcr9Ptcs
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.743Please respect copyright.PENANAgoaPXhgVqE
