“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.”392Please respect copyright.PENANAnluv2ckbXn

“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.”392Please respect copyright.PENANAjFWNWRpjs0
392Please respect copyright.PENANAgqPYqHxtbq
392Please respect copyright.PENANAOjnDxfP8ZN
“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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAWW8tBF9Kly
392Please respect copyright.PENANA2bBAa74wnc

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.392Please respect copyright.PENANASFUKbD7A13
392Please respect copyright.PENANAKvuOZFNM8S
392Please respect copyright.PENANAMgitB8Bkkn
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.

392Please respect copyright.PENANA90EpjPQTzs

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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAOW1j5RmozQ

“But if we keep on doing that, they will get even more upset,” I said. I turned to look at Christine. “How’s your foot? Do you need help standing up?”392Please respect copyright.PENANAesAZ2llIUH
392Please respect copyright.PENANAmufUxQjuvs
392Please respect copyright.PENANAVetNch2w7j
“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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA6AkZjjL8Cp

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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAvCBOK5fQhw

“Do you think Johnny will have a chance to get near us?” Daniel asked as he looked out the window, watching the people and the buildings as the car drove through town.392Please respect copyright.PENANAYzoYwfR20n
392Please respect copyright.PENANAPMkCFbDeSg

392Please respect copyright.PENANAmO1EOZpTmE
392Please respect copyright.PENANAVi5MG1mlH4

392Please respect copyright.PENANAXcGiCWnSyQ
392Please respect copyright.PENANAB4fHmop29R

392Please respect copyright.PENANAF5wfJdLb2X
392Please respect copyright.PENANA3uQmwmXfdw
“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?”392Please respect copyright.PENANA84jllRxszr
392Please respect copyright.PENANAZkCyMxyxRq
392Please respect copyright.PENANAIxCGROJ6hI
The five of us exchanged looks. Lee and Collins are really on to us now. They don’t have to worry, though. We already decided not to do anything about it.392Please respect copyright.PENANAURHfUqBFzA

392Please respect copyright.PENANAINtVMEOCHW
392Please respect copyright.PENANAzMbJQ9fQ1S

392Please respect copyright.PENANAWqJJsT9kT7
392Please respect copyright.PENANAxfgfYdNYmV

392Please respect copyright.PENANAr9f6jxrDMH
392Please respect copyright.PENANAzxJDDgL7BB
She sat on the couch and Jinwoo sat next to her, but not too close. I wanted to say something cute about the two of them, but I controlled myself as I remembered that I’m not supposed to.392Please respect copyright.PENANABc8GQagSv6

"I thought you would never ask," said Zoey as she excitedly turned to look at Mino who sat next to her.

392Please respect copyright.PENANAdbXGlYzIJz
392Please respect copyright.PENANAB5jHAWYLRd

392Please respect copyright.PENANAq51XXPJfNU
392Please respect copyright.PENANAGwPV4AL8qV
His phone on the other end started to ring. We all waited in silence for what felt like a minute when Zoey said:392Please respect copyright.PENANAhZNe3eMu1j

392Please respect copyright.PENANAMuJe5NaiWh
The five of us Toxins gave each other looks. He's obviously talking about Johnny.392Please respect copyright.PENANATiWinA1z3d

392Please respect copyright.PENANAkyUyDrO6rY
"I'm glad you aren't hurt," said Lisa. "You should be more careful when you go to such places."392Please respect copyright.PENANAtxWxVA3xQX
392Please respect copyright.PENANAfiLq6bVvn2
392Please respect copyright.PENANAaJPR5MY3kc
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?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAFxc7hCb4Iv
392Please respect copyright.PENANALAQCM7zpTl
392Please respect copyright.PENANAXwDtLsbq9D
"Yep. Just waiting on the managers and Bang Yong-guk to show up."392Please respect copyright.PENANAhwCjt7cyCG
392Please respect copyright.PENANAfGXQvd0FHD

392Please respect copyright.PENANANmWLY7ZEDl
"I'll pass on the message. Thanks, you take care. Bye."392Please respect copyright.PENANAvpOZPuqgLh
392Please respect copyright.PENANAkx0u9ybiS6
392Please respect copyright.PENANAZPrVFJ3jyy
Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:392Please respect copyright.PENANAzyJSTRpy5o
392Please respect copyright.PENANAXy8qC51ghr
392Please respect copyright.PENANAC3UyDXwt6k
"Wow, that's so typical of him. He even went to have fun with Johnny after the stunt he pulled?!"392Please respect copyright.PENANASLx1PTPLoS
392Please respect copyright.PENANANMZ7XuogKF
392Please respect copyright.PENANAFl1XLpt5hL
"I'm glad you didn't burst out like that when Lisa was talking to him," said Mino as he nervously chuckled.392Please respect copyright.PENANAtDv6ytQV6y
392Please respect copyright.PENANAy5xXniLMge
392Please respect copyright.PENANAonweUycd1g
"Like she said, she wasn't going to do anything stupid," said Mike. "Until now."392Please respect copyright.PENANAJhC1tWae5y
392Please respect copyright.PENANAunugF3LFnN
392Please respect copyright.PENANArZBXzbt3Uj
"Hey!" Zoey gave Mike a look.392Please respect copyright.PENANAfJwrfD3Obh
392Please respect copyright.PENANAvsrfQMtqlw
392Please respect copyright.PENANAstps4NlamB
"Oh, no, not here," I said. "Can we've your wrestling match later?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAhZokBZqQcg
392Please respect copyright.PENANAboiAWdqsL8
392Please respect copyright.PENANA9ffO0cnGr5
"I would like to see them fight," said Mino.392Please respect copyright.PENANANaqfWn1bVF
392Please respect copyright.PENANAWFuk0zyeWe
392Please respect copyright.PENANAtBVzUpNW1i
"Trust me, you don't want to," said Daniel.392Please respect copyright.PENANA4OusNaN2n3
392Please respect copyright.PENANAG2mEjQcTCG
392Please respect copyright.PENANAT2dJNbkLe8
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANADJVI7tkfIv
392Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0L0SAfptH
392Please respect copyright.PENANA2OtOP5nyHj
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.392Please respect copyright.PENANAjpnnpYvgMO
392Please respect copyright.PENANAuA5YkwdijC
392Please respect copyright.PENANAdduCEgSUxN
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.392Please respect copyright.PENANAnPRsXOg71x
392Please respect copyright.PENANAV15eCDQ1J3
392Please respect copyright.PENANA871s9U3AyA
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.392Please respect copyright.PENANAQAkC9foXaT
392Please respect copyright.PENANAUaxPoPtwAq
392Please respect copyright.PENANAdh5Qv6TAdU
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."392Please respect copyright.PENANABK1Tb8vPkT
392Please respect copyright.PENANARjdCjMqegR
392Please respect copyright.PENANAmEhkrj8vDF
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAuINqqDpdya
392Please respect copyright.PENANAwe8C86ATOH
392Please respect copyright.PENANA3GEh3KyXb5
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.392Please respect copyright.PENANA72cPFXbmxd
392Please respect copyright.PENANA7Kr5H7LWCA
392Please respect copyright.PENANA7NdIVVAUUR
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAAl2x8ZL1yT
392Please respect copyright.PENANAaxY1s16ODN
392Please respect copyright.PENANAxOk2OG4zcK
"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?392Please respect copyright.PENANA1FugTpvM8D
392Please respect copyright.PENANAdAv1ko6Hc7
392Please respect copyright.PENANAkv6WHW6gXz
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.392Please respect copyright.PENANAmjjpWKsJzc
392Please respect copyright.PENANAcXWnaoUAjj
392Please respect copyright.PENANAcaXXJ7ZDNV
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA1JPkft5PpS
392Please respect copyright.PENANAvbocgwegh9
392Please respect copyright.PENANAksqDBh0bVA
"The song is going to be great, right?" Jisoo asked.392Please respect copyright.PENANAA0yRt3925r
392Please respect copyright.PENANAuefUdWVYV5
392Please respect copyright.PENANAKMkCD8rUzx
"I just want to ask how you were able to come up with your amazing songs," said Mino.392Please respect copyright.PENANAAXjbdhvIac
392Please respect copyright.PENANAFTZw2QeWgH
392Please respect copyright.PENANAS4K9t44XFS
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.392Please respect copyright.PENANA7yUwopb92v
392Please respect copyright.PENANAMWg5iZSO8K
392Please respect copyright.PENANAcW53hodwHj
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.392Please respect copyright.PENANAGoElpMaD9Q
392Please respect copyright.PENANAEpqInWk9Zq
392Please respect copyright.PENANAD0Adwh1cl2
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAR597ZqbRWR
392Please respect copyright.PENANA6GSn8dR0Eg
392Please respect copyright.PENANAarAsYFiLIm
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.392Please respect copyright.PENANAvB17XIEbHn
392Please respect copyright.PENANAfUNXtNwc8K
392Please respect copyright.PENANAotyguMlGm7
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."392Please respect copyright.PENANA91F9MrbNEc
392Please respect copyright.PENANAmk4q8jE3UF
392Please respect copyright.PENANArUdg006kH2
"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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAWS5FAVWNAH
392Please respect copyright.PENANAdbabdjnxA6
392Please respect copyright.PENANAOz9tItofmG
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.392Please respect copyright.PENANAFHHhkwoEkO
392Please respect copyright.PENANAMe40VWPrQl
392Please respect copyright.PENANAB9antvGtzy
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."392Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0Nfa0IJfQ
392Please respect copyright.PENANAWyk2qE3acg
392Please respect copyright.PENANAHhM5QBrfZN
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.392Please respect copyright.PENANAEgT2K3LUCl
392Please respect copyright.PENANAK2cjebVPVw
392Please respect copyright.PENANAP5ScyPt4UD
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAoxfFVrOqok
392Please respect copyright.PENANAFANEcKfSFd
392Please respect copyright.PENANAN7EVxUySRQ
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.392Please respect copyright.PENANAAHmT6RzRN1
392Please respect copyright.PENANAiX9roBdjQP
392Please respect copyright.PENANAZuiSsYbRrO
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."392Please respect copyright.PENANADQ4LCAJJEF
392Please respect copyright.PENANAH29Kc07f6b
392Please respect copyright.PENANA8svVqdVNlF
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."392Please respect copyright.PENANA4oGmkcM2AC
392Please respect copyright.PENANALAHJAPGCYn
392Please respect copyright.PENANAvp47IPxpiv
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAfMyGcNDRje
392Please respect copyright.PENANA86D8ZZ58zg
392Please respect copyright.PENANARE7kcpcK0S
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAKNhs4LEQQk
392Please respect copyright.PENANALhi4Yqhs4d
392Please respect copyright.PENANAqadLsok8jF
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANADucE11tytV
392Please respect copyright.PENANAoqQtG4tYfA
392Please respect copyright.PENANAGfUPoiOI8m
"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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAjYnArGVCA1
392Please respect copyright.PENANASXISFotjLV
392Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0yaSwqMdF
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA3ha1LXm63Q
392Please respect copyright.PENANAVbqOV0ffNi
392Please respect copyright.PENANAeTHCnevTPS
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.392Please respect copyright.PENANAFju4gi1muN
392Please respect copyright.PENANAbb7OAjO5LQ
392Please respect copyright.PENANAnMFGK9L9XM
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAwUGxiUDZ9L
392Please respect copyright.PENANASgTP9Omx3d
392Please respect copyright.PENANA0C7Kx5ejWD
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAs8otjWhoP6
392Please respect copyright.PENANAjpHa2InHcw
392Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZrDj6b8eC
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.392Please respect copyright.PENANAAiy81Jsj4L
392Please respect copyright.PENANARReuq49kFY
392Please respect copyright.PENANAJzDk8NxMe3
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:392Please respect copyright.PENANATypus5jOsr
392Please respect copyright.PENANA9YXvHAIn7V
392Please respect copyright.PENANALcT1u1NHmp
"Yes, I do."392Please respect copyright.PENANA5GNbUtO80l
392Please respect copyright.PENANAKjDe8OjbqZ
392Please respect copyright.PENANAbpzVXC8wgF
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.392Please respect copyright.PENANAUADZxOuPYS
392Please respect copyright.PENANAMeBtj4anS1
392Please respect copyright.PENANAm2eEPQ6Zba
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.392Please respect copyright.PENANA9dTi0CBn7p
392Please respect copyright.PENANAeOHGvJvfUa
392Please respect copyright.PENANA2kO3fc6ruI
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAIopcocwaTd
392Please respect copyright.PENANAFpCgik0acZ
392Please respect copyright.PENANA6J2aZYbVPt
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
