“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.”178Please respect copyright.PENANAEOH5J3G5li

“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.”178Please respect copyright.PENANAjmEEtuB5es
178Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5344jAuAP
178Please respect copyright.PENANAHojIRok0GQ
“I told you I’m fine,” said Christine. Collins gave her a look that told her to be quiet. Christine read it and quickly looked up at the ceiling like she hadn’t said anything.178Please respect copyright.PENANAF1JhsLVChG

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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAJpyS8dtbaT
178Please respect copyright.PENANAbYpu38sYnd
178Please respect copyright.PENANA6KPgKZJZj5
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.

For those of us who stood at the door of lounge, we moved aside for Collins to pass as he went down the hall to his room. In turn, we entered the lounge. Zoey and I went to sit on either side of Christine, while the boys went to sit on the other couch.178Please respect copyright.PENANA4krqAyHpKn

178Please respect copyright.PENANAkBeI4sZAyH
“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.178Please respect copyright.PENANARMBeYjmgys

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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAMgfuoJphxD

178Please respect copyright.PENANAQM9suY6OnB
“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?”178Please respect copyright.PENANAM0HXbWjIBp
178Please respect copyright.PENANAUFYubvlc6Z
178Please respect copyright.PENANAUcTF8WJBwh

"I'm glad you aren't hurt," said Lisa. "You should be more careful when you go to such places."178Please respect copyright.PENANAs4GjWdP07B
178Please respect copyright.PENANAmDdTK0vGlI
178Please respect copyright.PENANASiqJpuazZs
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?"178Please respect copyright.PENANA0HE5PjMW4C
178Please respect copyright.PENANAc4huB9fmbK
178Please respect copyright.PENANAIPXlM2h4b4
"Yep. Just waiting on the managers and Bang Yong-guk to show up."178Please respect copyright.PENANAoFiP6ZAimW
178Please respect copyright.PENANARSazkHvmGV
178Please respect copyright.PENANAq5VO7yogsE

178Please respect copyright.PENANAqwsmYAPFWC

178Please respect copyright.PENANAUzowNfyLFH
178Please respect copyright.PENANADHIfvQaz8J
Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:178Please respect copyright.PENANAyjrpuWANfQ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAGEhPr6RUvz
178Please respect copyright.PENANAGY4tgevTW5
"Wow, that's so typical of him. He even went to have fun with Johnny after the stunt he pulled?!"178Please respect copyright.PENANAtIImA4QY8z
178Please respect copyright.PENANAarDNRFwTJ7
178Please respect copyright.PENANAAisLsTZar0
"I'm glad you didn't burst out like that when Lisa was talking to him," said Mino as he nervously chuckled.178Please respect copyright.PENANAByJgqeJSvq
178Please respect copyright.PENANAmBNbwZbeiE
178Please respect copyright.PENANARSmOTUJfL1
"Like she said, she wasn't going to do anything stupid," said Mike. "Until now."178Please respect copyright.PENANAzXvxPK5GF5
178Please respect copyright.PENANAL3W66lxUF1
178Please respect copyright.PENANA7zUYm1wzv8
"Hey!" Zoey gave Mike a look.178Please respect copyright.PENANAAcpvzxT3lm
178Please respect copyright.PENANAYZIDGStgKq
178Please respect copyright.PENANAHkeN0LLLvH
"Oh, no, not here," I said. "Can we've your wrestling match later?"178Please respect copyright.PENANAPOYVTlIaXN
178Please respect copyright.PENANAJ49IAmscM1
178Please respect copyright.PENANA5OPpzTILQD
"I would like to see them fight," said Mino.178Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zs5AbTIJI

178Please respect copyright.PENANA0HaAJVMwQg
178Please respect copyright.PENANAG4osuqhxmr
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANANGxff8XHjw
178Please respect copyright.PENANAo1tfFJGYwX
178Please respect copyright.PENANAzolD3aCwE8
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.178Please respect copyright.PENANANeNiO30bAL
178Please respect copyright.PENANAlXQSPr6gcn
178Please respect copyright.PENANAzb7iTIrSBb
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.178Please respect copyright.PENANAcz1YnT8uDP
178Please respect copyright.PENANANXt8VTdYQ6
178Please respect copyright.PENANAu2ApHNQWW3
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.178Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZugjdYD8Q
178Please respect copyright.PENANApCMzV755BC
178Please respect copyright.PENANAJq8IrYgWu1
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."178Please respect copyright.PENANAe00eTBa4rb
178Please respect copyright.PENANAhn5OjpjKvi
178Please respect copyright.PENANAXjTdZgiYKC
"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."178Please respect copyright.PENANAnMbHZUjZxK
178Please respect copyright.PENANAu7tvj89n2J
178Please respect copyright.PENANAXZxf81qACj
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.178Please respect copyright.PENANABeLwLCtrwP
178Please respect copyright.PENANAXM24AusRtl
178Please respect copyright.PENANAgEMjYAJjxT
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAynxocA0115
178Please respect copyright.PENANA7gJC3BSDYS
178Please respect copyright.PENANAkk4dveeuTX
"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?178Please respect copyright.PENANAQBsxUkdOtI
178Please respect copyright.PENANAOmNRFKFe1B
178Please respect copyright.PENANAfWWe6bVWLN
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.178Please respect copyright.PENANAqFX63ADzxB
178Please respect copyright.PENANAwqR9lPHaAz
178Please respect copyright.PENANAA6ftSrspmM
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAecN9HpwgzW
178Please respect copyright.PENANAklOVBLi9UQ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAeN3Z6Z39zQ
"The song is going to be great, right?" Jisoo asked.178Please respect copyright.PENANA0vvas2KKQz
178Please respect copyright.PENANAlW1dqNoO4n
178Please respect copyright.PENANApflu9Ti1Pm
"I just want to ask how you were able to come up with your amazing songs," said Mino.178Please respect copyright.PENANAzjah1uWsAA
178Please respect copyright.PENANApOuvyrGoF9
178Please respect copyright.PENANAZn8xUziyTe
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.178Please respect copyright.PENANAQzLPFeCAup
178Please respect copyright.PENANAdF4fdrWBnQ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAbV7vPPVluq
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.178Please respect copyright.PENANAVfdcCUnepy
178Please respect copyright.PENANAoXgPRE7cPs
178Please respect copyright.PENANAALJMQNGK0d
"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."178Please respect copyright.PENANANRk1WeaR81
178Please respect copyright.PENANAFpSVNXeiAO
178Please respect copyright.PENANANt1H70P5q1
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.178Please respect copyright.PENANAkfiFPwcK4g
178Please respect copyright.PENANAxcpk1Dl0qi
178Please respect copyright.PENANAM9R8YCtFdo
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."178Please respect copyright.PENANALixARshZ0b
178Please respect copyright.PENANABhOt4xL4jU
178Please respect copyright.PENANA45O2AFX0Rf
"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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAoxAF41Xlz3
178Please respect copyright.PENANAv4SoYVTY3R
178Please respect copyright.PENANAHe5tdf8FPn
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.178Please respect copyright.PENANAO1In6uoyeF
178Please respect copyright.PENANAipqbelnMWd
178Please respect copyright.PENANAihY6cq2V97
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."178Please respect copyright.PENANAovGl4i1cXy
178Please respect copyright.PENANAUEsafzMd6u
178Please respect copyright.PENANAXWkqKYVVSm
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.178Please respect copyright.PENANAclr67W8pJH
178Please respect copyright.PENANARpEgbbOSNR
178Please respect copyright.PENANAo8UKq0iVvz
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAl0JEuiadTc
178Please respect copyright.PENANApll5NrxYpm
178Please respect copyright.PENANAZWgrR1Qg8m
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.178Please respect copyright.PENANAkb0JqCz9FM
178Please respect copyright.PENANADfuTuTcide
178Please respect copyright.PENANArX2SdZycFh
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."178Please respect copyright.PENANAeyTNyebOc2
178Please respect copyright.PENANAaRYYfSv0Mf
178Please respect copyright.PENANAO9lTlymIoH
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."178Please respect copyright.PENANAOvyrp9g8IE
178Please respect copyright.PENANAkrR4t3a8Rp
178Please respect copyright.PENANAkoxTDkD8KP
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAfjED27P5KM
178Please respect copyright.PENANAnphXSrrpOe
178Please respect copyright.PENANA0GhDGHMQWG
"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."178Please respect copyright.PENANAasxmNDTPF7
178Please respect copyright.PENANAF54KriIAgp
178Please respect copyright.PENANAsT2j3ugSRN
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAoz7Bpga3zO
178Please respect copyright.PENANA63rgQZXGuZ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAIhqaecd7P8
"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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAN8sSAndZAJ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAPhhCTvrh1t
178Please respect copyright.PENANAINlQVzAqAc
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAMemzhLBRK9
178Please respect copyright.PENANApAiaYG8qy9
178Please respect copyright.PENANAM7ETkvnWr0
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.178Please respect copyright.PENANACDSDydRQUe
178Please respect copyright.PENANAdsz1RvK6J9
178Please respect copyright.PENANA2DJ3LUIPdw
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"178Please respect copyright.PENANAG3HaeT5Lzn
178Please respect copyright.PENANAolNtvNgMCc
178Please respect copyright.PENANAP9O004MuMG
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANA9JSyzWrrCW
178Please respect copyright.PENANAfMpWI5E9ld
178Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3ge6ALdm0
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.178Please respect copyright.PENANAveAnNVajyS
178Please respect copyright.PENANA4QLlvVbyDD
178Please respect copyright.PENANAEGbIx7obb4
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:178Please respect copyright.PENANASEgR0zzDQT
178Please respect copyright.PENANAl8v4YgUo3I
178Please respect copyright.PENANANbSFpD6pYA
"Yes, I do."178Please respect copyright.PENANArr45m7kemZ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAk0qo7IorRk
178Please respect copyright.PENANAFDpTT5ledW
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.178Please respect copyright.PENANAIygZPNm4eT
178Please respect copyright.PENANA0WkXiJNZYa
178Please respect copyright.PENANANgp28eBvIa
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.178Please respect copyright.PENANAQnvvpK7A1i
178Please respect copyright.PENANASar645ZkYN
178Please respect copyright.PENANAUNF7hbhF37
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.178Please respect copyright.PENANAaz91g1NPU1
178Please respect copyright.PENANAMIG4xtWsCy
178Please respect copyright.PENANAqIWYVPcSmx
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
