“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.

“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.”198Please respect copyright.PENANAEB2ZF43S2E

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.198Please respect copyright.PENANAB8xwig7AHU

“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?”198Please respect copyright.PENANAmtlA9XKFhr
198Please respect copyright.PENANAgm2vOYr3U5
198Please respect copyright.PENANAVsFS8pBHpk
“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.198Please respect copyright.PENANAi9agclZPIV

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.198Please respect copyright.PENANAZEubcaqck9

“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.198Please respect copyright.PENANAA9ICYO0vcH

198Please respect copyright.PENANAUgy1MvgI3n
“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?”198Please respect copyright.PENANAwtZBsSFbOd
198Please respect copyright.PENANAdPmug86dHO
198Please respect copyright.PENANAEAsAsgjk8V

198Please respect copyright.PENANAy8oVpP7ZjC

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?"198Please respect copyright.PENANA3RApV4F5Wj
198Please respect copyright.PENANArVODyqDJUl
198Please respect copyright.PENANAzWhPkFNPJ5

Lisa quickly cut the call. Zoey suddenly burst out saying:198Please respect copyright.PENANAupl46WX9YQ
198Please respect copyright.PENANAMsgcgofMwQ
198Please respect copyright.PENANAJme0fhTZCZ
"Wow, that's so typical of him. He even went to have fun with Johnny after the stunt he pulled?!"198Please respect copyright.PENANAQS3R5A8h4y
198Please respect copyright.PENANAnxWlgC4KIb
198Please respect copyright.PENANAOUF6BfZSyH
"I'm glad you didn't burst out like that when Lisa was talking to him," said Mino as he nervously chuckled.198Please respect copyright.PENANAf8BAytwrp7
198Please respect copyright.PENANAGn9ViRRCFM
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHFI1ak4Luc
"Like she said, she wasn't going to do anything stupid," said Mike. "Until now."198Please respect copyright.PENANA0wfnxT6eUQ
198Please respect copyright.PENANAR5TwHnQdl7
198Please respect copyright.PENANAMYCejSIrgl
"Hey!" Zoey gave Mike a look.198Please respect copyright.PENANAgLaGvabqND
198Please respect copyright.PENANAk3Eqr3mE7t
198Please respect copyright.PENANAVhPRVLiSoP
"Oh, no, not here," I said. "Can we've your wrestling match later?"198Please respect copyright.PENANAZTJwnisXSW
198Please respect copyright.PENANA2pXr9iV5NB
198Please respect copyright.PENANAYlp7mB2F26
"I would like to see them fight," said Mino.198Please respect copyright.PENANAULZt8k3FRr

198Please respect copyright.PENANAiK8UMr3LgS
198Please respect copyright.PENANAq6GGJdnrKW
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.198Please respect copyright.PENANAvBAAfP2B1B
198Please respect copyright.PENANAk4Cc3GQwld
198Please respect copyright.PENANAziviPColBj
"Yong-guk, you're here!" Zoey exclaimed as she shot up from her seat and went straight for him.198Please respect copyright.PENANAI06MLkxOfh
198Please respect copyright.PENANAZu64fi317x
198Please respect copyright.PENANAMV2qYhi0Uf
"Hey, Zoey," Yong-guk nervously greeted her, stepping back a little so that he wouldn't bump into her.198Please respect copyright.PENANAe4dqwJzbvh
198Please respect copyright.PENANAnY0Uee2yD9
198Please respect copyright.PENANApaDlCe2iT2
"Well, you're rather jumpy today," said Lee as she looked at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.198Please respect copyright.PENANAQoDNtnN9OZ
198Please respect copyright.PENANAWFvtPKHHw9
198Please respect copyright.PENANAxsAmzVwERs
"You should've seen her when we were talking about G-Dragon just now," said Seungyoon. "She looked like she would punch someone."198Please respect copyright.PENANA4cVr4uRZjs
198Please respect copyright.PENANAxVvmNWWLwT
198Please respect copyright.PENANAGZQnkNntBs
"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."198Please respect copyright.PENANAcEymRIcEpC
198Please respect copyright.PENANAZFc9MszARg
198Please respect copyright.PENANA986N4oR8iD
"I wouldn't want to miss this day for the world," he said with a smile.198Please respect copyright.PENANAHRP0ByPqht
198Please respect copyright.PENANAMHuHtW6N7J
198Please respect copyright.PENANAjqQsspoTlr
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.198Please respect copyright.PENANADYbT3Xfg0B
198Please respect copyright.PENANAZxzRGUbGrh
198Please respect copyright.PENANAgRJ273xO0b
"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?198Please respect copyright.PENANAb5lxgRzxcK
198Please respect copyright.PENANA2hE2RZADGv
198Please respect copyright.PENANAuozyAG7ZRG
Yong-guk greeted him back and by the look on his face, he didn’t seem intimidated by Seunghoon at all.198Please respect copyright.PENANAJIhITa1jd5
198Please respect copyright.PENANAfpnqL6ErcT
198Please respect copyright.PENANAtA8qPcMHSE
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.198Please respect copyright.PENANAiezmckNSxu
198Please respect copyright.PENANAz5BEP4kSJ0
198Please respect copyright.PENANAC5dkMOeFb3
"The song is going to be great, right?" Jisoo asked.198Please respect copyright.PENANA8Uppiq3u5s
198Please respect copyright.PENANAFN48gVEp7k
198Please respect copyright.PENANA4Il75cV90g
"I just want to ask how you were able to come up with your amazing songs," said Mino.198Please respect copyright.PENANA9aHKxeXou3
198Please respect copyright.PENANAMO8rbuM9cL
198Please respect copyright.PENANABW9FH1ZYu6
"One at a time, people," I told them. I sat in between Yong-guk and Seunghoon, and boy did it feel uncomfortable.198Please respect copyright.PENANABjTwxPEz6M
198Please respect copyright.PENANAL79KZcRCd1
198Please respect copyright.PENANAWTCJws9AKr
Yong-guk chuckled. "I don’t mind at all," he said.198Please respect copyright.PENANAzuhko82GQ7
198Please respect copyright.PENANABpBpWvDCbm
198Please respect copyright.PENANAmPg1L6hWt5
"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."198Please respect copyright.PENANAINnmBSiB5R
198Please respect copyright.PENANAlYojaV4dRK
198Please respect copyright.PENANA7l37u4j8xU
I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me that cute boyish smile. I couldn’t hold my laugh.198Please respect copyright.PENANAXgtC76jxe9
198Please respect copyright.PENANAz7NSJlb3c1
198Please respect copyright.PENANAXsgNz6s6fk
"Do you've the track with you?" Lisa asked. "Maybe we can listen to it a little before the managers get here."198Please respect copyright.PENANAJtKWmDLpYt
198Please respect copyright.PENANA20mvvHcWUJ
198Please respect copyright.PENANAFNXbJJ7Sb9
"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.198Please respect copyright.PENANAy1m70DEE4g
198Please respect copyright.PENANAGUvSi2XDmB
198Please respect copyright.PENANA5NfNrb8kAB
"Oh, we didn’t know you were still around," said Rosé as she nervously chuckled.198Please respect copyright.PENANAr2tsk91v9H
198Please respect copyright.PENANAE1XBtvZPqH
198Please respect copyright.PENANA6s1fafgVhm
"Well, I’ve been told to watch over you," said Lee. "You might do something funny like you were about to just now."198Please respect copyright.PENANAVdvRSudzOF
198Please respect copyright.PENANAQvnNu3mXo4
198Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7z509lSYL
"No we weren’t," said Zoey and Christine at the same time.198Please respect copyright.PENANAklz1ydcNe9
198Please respect copyright.PENANAVNOIc9jMrA
198Please respect copyright.PENANAvzbuEaNVDx
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.198Please respect copyright.PENANAI6dZ6mAwX1
198Please respect copyright.PENANABfJ1Aq00mh
198Please respect copyright.PENANA5du26EAajt
"They will be here soon, so I don’t understand why you’re impatient," said Lee.198Please respect copyright.PENANAP1Fo3CAX53
198Please respect copyright.PENANAqDpT2JNZ0Z
198Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ndz1TXOh1
"I agree," said Yong-guk. "Let’s all just wait."198Please respect copyright.PENANAJII9T6nJXa
198Please respect copyright.PENANAtzA2d1p4CO
198Please respect copyright.PENANAaruBzPhFLl
"They better be," said Jinwoo. "My ears are just itching to listen."198Please respect copyright.PENANA1ybAyuE1o4
198Please respect copyright.PENANAb46os6h92p
198Please respect copyright.PENANA8z7MBqPe09
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.198Please respect copyright.PENANAUQFSbOY2Gp
198Please respect copyright.PENANA7BT147erv4
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHLBoGoGhLo
"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."198Please respect copyright.PENANAqEQyvaWR5q
198Please respect copyright.PENANAyp3LkHeBtK
198Please respect copyright.PENANAc0FYbiZ9Dq
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.198Please respect copyright.PENANAaL6SE4lv1V
198Please respect copyright.PENANAxDws9N1Hb6
198Please respect copyright.PENANAMGpRQa4J2h
"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.198Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZZvV96DUA
198Please respect copyright.PENANAQNBDE9715N
198Please respect copyright.PENANA8E5aH9ZhP4
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.198Please respect copyright.PENANA1zx8JWvddA
198Please respect copyright.PENANAp90p4aXkyZ
198Please respect copyright.PENANAx9xbFoEsbr
"Hey, you’re nervous?" he asked.198Please respect copyright.PENANAGnwMrcwyzz
198Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8bbI3hjGc
198Please respect copyright.PENANAPD0Fd1X4mZ
I turned to look at him, surprised that he’s beside me. "Kind of," I said. "What if its not-?"198Please respect copyright.PENANAHpoPZ6WXoT
198Please respect copyright.PENANAQEKTiRLS5x
198Please respect copyright.PENANAgQtWKoVgwm
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.198Please respect copyright.PENANAt2mY4BGfVd
198Please respect copyright.PENANAmnxVnsD9ui
198Please respect copyright.PENANA0fpD5IiOYE
"Don't you trust me, Sam?" he asked.198Please respect copyright.PENANAFsxsx4OyQ4
198Please respect copyright.PENANApIxeZ3xdIR
198Please respect copyright.PENANAvP3yEdkFjJ
I didn’t expect him to ask such a question and I am left speechless. I cleared my throat to say:198Please respect copyright.PENANAvUOeRhftam
198Please respect copyright.PENANAQbu4P8kB0e
198Please respect copyright.PENANA86Mcyu7SML
"Yes, I do."198Please respect copyright.PENANAYOKDwFZeEv
198Please respect copyright.PENANAQyGbHfNPbt
198Please respect copyright.PENANATl173aplL6
He smiled at me and dropped his hands from my shoulders. He quickly held my hand.198Please respect copyright.PENANAtzrCGEt7yE
198Please respect copyright.PENANANhhrjfuAje
198Please respect copyright.PENANAtCeBPNN83z
"Come on, let's go," he said as he dragged me along to join the others.198Please respect copyright.PENANAXnY4QGF7IZ
198Please respect copyright.PENANA0RysUZoWIc
198Please respect copyright.PENANA16LpZkfjAC
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.198Please respect copyright.PENANA7NinCbbX4D
198Please respect copyright.PENANARte0Wp1kPv
198Please respect copyright.PENANAz6TM4BM08r
I found myself smiling at him. I couldn't have found any better way to calm my thoughts.
