“It’s just a sprain that will heal in a day or two,” said the handsome, male Korean doctor who wore a causal blue golf shirt with white chinos and matching white canvas. Anyone who would see him now wouldn’t think twice that he is a medical doctor. “If she doesn’t strain herself too much, she’ll be fine.”404Please respect copyright.PENANAJj2Te2Ws8m

“That’s good news,” said Collins feeling relieved as he turned to look at Christine who sat on the couch, with a foot on a foot supporter in front of her. She looked at him with a stoic look on her face. “Luckily, it’s nothing serious.”404Please respect copyright.PENANApZKirgWbWG
404Please respect copyright.PENANALUGsnFQpf8
404Please respect copyright.PENANAVz45UNIYbI

Before the doctor and Lee could turn around to leave the lounge, Daniel and I quickly left our spot at the entrance of the lounge and silently ran down the hall, and entered one of the rooms with the door slightly open to peak in the hall. Mike and Zoey who hid on the other side pretended as if they were approaching the elevator, looking occupied with phones in their hands.404Please respect copyright.PENANAycmcNEzZCL
404Please respect copyright.PENANACoVzCTLfzA
404Please respect copyright.PENANAPlOF4kvpty
Lee and the doctor soon appeared in the hall, heading for the elevator and bypassing Zoey and Mike who said goodbye as Lee and the doctor entered the elevator.

404Please respect copyright.PENANAYG2m31H8D1
“No, I'm good,” said Christine. She put her foot on the foot stand on to the floor, then she slowly tried to stand on her own. She did so with little effort. “I’ll manage.” She smiled brightly.404Please respect copyright.PENANARvGWq8aZZc

In ten minutes, we were already downstairs in the cars arranged for us. The five of us Toxins, Lee and Collins were in one car while the security detail were in two other cars behind us. Collins wasn’t joking when he said they will work on security. Hopefully, it won’t be too obvious to the fans or the paparazzi, especially the paparazzi.404Please respect copyright.PENANAyLbSCkiJi4

404Please respect copyright.PENANAop7zbTj2XV
404Please respect copyright.PENANAeIkyzEsMkU
“Lee’s right,” said Collins. “The issue with Jehan wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did because we didn’t take a whiff of what’s going on. We let it slide, but this time around, I don’t want any of your silly plans taking course. Is that clear?”404Please respect copyright.PENANAX2RnDBjcJV
404Please respect copyright.PENANAQdYc80Qgia
404Please respect copyright.PENANAO5Yqvm9CXF

The five of us Toxins gave each other looks. He's obviously talking about Johnny.404Please respect copyright.PENANAMwZw9GD3sO

GD chuckled. "Thanks, I will. You take care. Oh, wait, aren't you supposed to meet with the others for the album and listen to the new song right now?"404Please respect copyright.PENANAhyreCOELVr
404Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gb8NrWKTV
404Please respect copyright.PENANAIcYl9FLIMP

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:404Please respect copyright.PENANAGpcqHWJMf1
404Please respect copyright.PENANACvVcO07kRj
404Please respect copyright.PENANAuCUndRHL5I
"Wow, that's so typical of him. He even went to have fun with Johnny after the stunt he pulled?!"404Please respect copyright.PENANAlNkqqgT7Qt
404Please respect copyright.PENANA0OcgffCJIT
404Please respect copyright.PENANAZautSWh2pt
"I'm glad you didn't burst out like that when Lisa was talking to him," said Mino as he nervously chuckled.404Please respect copyright.PENANAoj1Gx2BrNA
404Please respect copyright.PENANAMuTkyvsjEQ
404Please respect copyright.PENANATbNkzCh6QT
"Like she said, she wasn't going to do anything stupid," said Mike. "Until now."404Please respect copyright.PENANAZUk1QCq9mo
404Please respect copyright.PENANAnRiGoO8c4F
404Please respect copyright.PENANALBPJdbZwKs
"Hey!" Zoey gave Mike a look.404Please respect copyright.PENANAVfdY1PZslz
404Please respect copyright.PENANAULiEBHSjZ0
404Please respect copyright.PENANAQUmOwPvr0H
"Oh, no, not here," I said. "Can we've your wrestling match later?"404Please respect copyright.PENANAzWqmxskAuW
404Please respect copyright.PENANAIS8t2SqHJk
404Please respect copyright.PENANAKd0ZMWP5dZ
"I would like to see them fight," said Mino.404Please respect copyright.PENANA8jln7SQkWW

404Please respect copyright.PENANA8OKgl7AoqI
"Trust me, you don't want to," said Daniel.404Please respect copyright.PENANAC3832AIkl6
404Please respect copyright.PENANAb6dXXFLpzJ
404Please respect copyright.PENANAlkzlKJ4B4f
There came a knock at the door. We told the person to come in. It's Lee, and she came in with someone: Bang Yong-guk.404Please respect copyright.PENANAfcDNta3NSd
404Please respect copyright.PENANAUKkBvzSea6
404Please respect copyright.PENANAjmexurALHz
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.404Please respect copyright.PENANAAmlm0ItNiG
404Please respect copyright.PENANAJNnx5Fk91l
404Please respect copyright.PENANAWUmrJBX2Lh
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.404Please respect copyright.PENANA1u9GMojWCl
404Please respect copyright.PENANAQdb8OiOiq9
404Please respect copyright.PENANACE6j0dfPAf
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.404Please respect copyright.PENANAzOAMzh9YpT
404Please respect copyright.PENANA3jTAOKxDD3
404Please respect copyright.PENANAMEoB63qJ0p
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."404Please respect copyright.PENANAC0h5G2Zcc5
404Please respect copyright.PENANA4IpT2WTqnN
404Please respect copyright.PENANAQyOghGsQEc
"Hi, Yong-guk," I said as I stood up from my seat and also approached. "For a second there I thought you weren't coming."404Please respect copyright.PENANAaBEgimUF5p
404Please respect copyright.PENANACi3UJB2f23
404Please respect copyright.PENANAaIn1rx0SRz
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.404Please respect copyright.PENANA9tRdFJ9Eeu
404Please respect copyright.PENANAgmGhFOi3x8
404Please respect copyright.PENANAsp6I18lzIE
I felt someone quickly rush up to me standing by my side. And in the process, pushing me a little. I held my ground so that I wouldn't find myself falling over.404Please respect copyright.PENANAcUqnSddGhA
404Please respect copyright.PENANAanlmNXwypx
404Please respect copyright.PENANAS3LblMk6d6
"Hello," Seunghoon greeted Yong-guk in Korean. I raised an eyebrow as I realised that he had his arm around my neck. I didn't want to admit what I'm seeing, but it couldn't be helped. Was he trying to mark his territory when he didn't have one?404Please respect copyright.PENANAOMzpQ3zGOA
404Please respect copyright.PENANAQIcx1t5u5N
404Please respect copyright.PENANAhG2QO2UbyP
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.404Please respect copyright.PENANAHP80RQ2BOL
404Please respect copyright.PENANAWpRLil0MH8
404Please respect copyright.PENANAioaHIDdLB6
Everyone else came over to greet Yong-guk. Lee told us to settle down for the managers and the music producer assigned to help with our album will be arriving any time soon. We did likewise. And members from both Blackpink and WINNER couldn’t help but ask Bang Yong-guk some questions about the song.404Please respect copyright.PENANACe6Az9VwDN
404Please respect copyright.PENANAMI28Xqklvp
404Please respect copyright.PENANAsXvNX62ZM6
"The song is going to be great, right?" Jisoo asked.404Please respect copyright.PENANAB0cZa6If6N
404Please respect copyright.PENANAp4ZwY7dJmM
404Please respect copyright.PENANAH54CxvkPJF
"I just want to ask how you were able to come up with your amazing songs," said Mino.404Please respect copyright.PENANAwzBketVh4o
404Please respect copyright.PENANAACw5O0bZWj
404Please respect copyright.PENANAyUmgzKwgIL
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.404Please respect copyright.PENANAqzuDKfANw0
404Please respect copyright.PENANAz1mTdD8Ntf
404Please respect copyright.PENANA4hbDUbVXGJ
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.404Please respect copyright.PENANASrFAlg82nt
404Please respect copyright.PENANAUIrWZsZ3CL
404Please respect copyright.PENANAZScbc5wh2F
"You don’t have to worry about him," said Seunghoon as he leaned in a little closer on my shoulder. "He can take care of himself."404Please respect copyright.PENANAs1xd7ER66l
404Please respect copyright.PENANA0vDPunHYTq
404Please respect copyright.PENANAT85KX2NSlm
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.404Please respect copyright.PENANAitA3hjqlYe
404Please respect copyright.PENANAvbV2VixDQr
404Please respect copyright.PENANABvGmrmyVTU
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."404Please respect copyright.PENANAwFo94jucwh
404Please respect copyright.PENANAxAu9p5jqWy
404Please respect copyright.PENANABVasldsdSc
"Not when I’m around," said Lee who stood in the corner of the room. For a minute there we forgot that she is still around.404Please respect copyright.PENANAOHMN599znC
404Please respect copyright.PENANAiUJT0zI09b
404Please respect copyright.PENANAMlsLtxEm5N
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.404Please respect copyright.PENANAz7xBx7WeEh
404Please respect copyright.PENANAnKs5AZOqe6
404Please respect copyright.PENANAI77MFFSmrl
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."404Please respect copyright.PENANAuu4FuIWN7Z
404Please respect copyright.PENANASr9q2uoxnm
404Please respect copyright.PENANAbFIHzYgVZe
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.404Please respect copyright.PENANA3gZXOy6rlv
404Please respect copyright.PENANAxl4n20SieU
404Please respect copyright.PENANANNQr0RVfL8
Lee gave them a look that made them stare at the floor. The managers better get here soon. I could tell just how anxious everyone is that they can’t wait to hear the song.404Please respect copyright.PENANAHvues55L0D
404Please respect copyright.PENANAyRaH6D4Xp8
404Please respect copyright.PENANApHMoYNkNqQ
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.404Please respect copyright.PENANASCuc7I89Rq
404Please respect copyright.PENANApB3HrkQgCI
404Please respect copyright.PENANAVRtYZDccDi
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."404Please respect copyright.PENANAAh0oOBEk3e
404Please respect copyright.PENANA09Iq1yUIux
404Please respect copyright.PENANAl2Q0EON9B7
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."404Please respect copyright.PENANA4kSf6yBMo7
404Please respect copyright.PENANAwuEwjcRRjq
404Please respect copyright.PENANAXmAXdcbIcf
We didn’t have to wait any further as there came a knock at the door and Lee told whoever was there to come in. The two managers and a man who I think is the producer, walked into the room. We all stood up and bowed our heads.404Please respect copyright.PENANAUFonVp1ois
404Please respect copyright.PENANAduNrgKNpls
404Please respect copyright.PENANAI9zDRe8APb
"Sit down everyone," Yang Hyun-suk instructed and we did likewise. "I see everyone is here. I’m also happy to welcome our visitor, Bang Yong-guk."404Please respect copyright.PENANA4fz3jZqR5H
404Please respect copyright.PENANATYUphBiD9n
404Please respect copyright.PENANAngLVaoYO7I
Bang Yong-guk stood up from his seat and bowed to the managers and the producer. He also thanked them for inviting him to the studio. Yang Hyun-suk also introduced the man who stood beside Collins as the producer who will help out with the album.404Please respect copyright.PENANABwe8jZ6eEs
404Please respect copyright.PENANAvLzJUaVgfd
404Please respect copyright.PENANAoFW9AO1yzG
"Okay, without further ado, we can dive right to what we came here to do," said Yang Hyun-suk. He started to make his way to the console and the music booth.404Please respect copyright.PENANAogDsRFHpfK
404Please respect copyright.PENANA4JWygf16NU
404Please respect copyright.PENANAChn7Oajo3F
When we stood up to follow the manager and the producer, I couldn’t help but stay still while the rest went on ahead. I didn’t even realise that Bang Yong-guk still stood beside me until he spoke.404Please respect copyright.PENANA82h1q4vumP
404Please respect copyright.PENANA1CInTomDTW
404Please respect copyright.PENANA0o9DRhGxpD
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.404Please respect copyright.PENANA2o47z6NV4R
404Please respect copyright.PENANAgIu1zC636H
404Please respect copyright.PENANAO3U7v2KVmI
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"404Please respect copyright.PENANACkN5mLtqnM
404Please respect copyright.PENANADFjrtQBv8X
404Please respect copyright.PENANAcjNp24AF26
He held my shoulders to turn me so I could look at him. I didn't expect him to be so close, and looking at him, straight on like this made me blush.404Please respect copyright.PENANAjAz6g7F0kc
404Please respect copyright.PENANAf57zIMQCy7
404Please respect copyright.PENANAMW38KCkf2D
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.404Please respect copyright.PENANAvwdkJ0b20d
404Please respect copyright.PENANAhjTx6DjB7Y
404Please respect copyright.PENANAsVSHRE43I3
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:404Please respect copyright.PENANAhL9Mih5Hmh
404Please respect copyright.PENANAcEWgMCzJDY
404Please respect copyright.PENANAh8LOBhkhsm
"Yes, I do."404Please respect copyright.PENANAWkPQkLWklw
404Please respect copyright.PENANANrE8zswoyR
404Please respect copyright.PENANAva0SId2yjO
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.404Please respect copyright.PENANAcMcxRshKuD
404Please respect copyright.PENANAUi4rThdfdN
404Please respect copyright.PENANA1QcMsabY3T
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.404Please respect copyright.PENANA5TPeCWKd1G
404Please respect copyright.PENANAqF6PUEGfsW
404Please respect copyright.PENANA8AIkMEadhd
His warm hand around mine assured me that I shouldn't worry about what’s going to happen with the song. Even if the managers weren't going to like it, it's going to be okay.404Please respect copyright.PENANAyEJ0RwQNcN
404Please respect copyright.PENANAvBZHte8ndS
404Please respect copyright.PENANAaw0iHBJWcY
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
