Meeting WINNER the 984Please respect copyright.PENANAfQyCpC5z4G
previous day was one of the most memorable days of my life. We had so 984Please respect copyright.PENANAHv0VDGWwsv
fun when they came, though they were just with us for a short while 984Please respect copyright.PENANAKUqYKApLqE
because we had to be pretty cautious with when Collins and Lee were 984Please respect copyright.PENANABNWcwSFjF1
going to come back to the hotel. They weren't supposed to know that 984Please respect copyright.PENANABE20ayHpfB
WINNER had come to the hotel to visit. Most especially, Collins.984Please respect copyright.PENANAaQTH8StGJi
With the little time we 984Please respect copyright.PENANAFJSFelsfz2
had with WINNER, I couldn't help but feel like a fan girl all over again984Please respect copyright.PENANAsvfyLA4dy8
as we all got to know each other.984Please respect copyright.PENANAxZKSoVW1ri
Seungyoon, the leader 984Please respect copyright.PENANA5iryMmN72Z
and maknae of the group is so cute. For me I really like him or maybe 984Please respect copyright.PENANA8FMZD3DdsQ
thats just the fan girl in me saying all that. I just felt he was such a984Please respect copyright.PENANAaW8sUvcGcQ
fun and nice person to be around with.984Please respect copyright.PENANAhw77uAYo7h
Then there is Mino, who 984Please respect copyright.PENANAHa9ADBbIA1
almost looks identical to G-Dragon, you could easily mistake the two for984Please respect copyright.PENANAPBgCt48gbD
father and son. I mocked G-Dragon about it with the others. And Zoey 984Please respect copyright.PENANApDvLD4fTpE
kind of grew attached to Mino. Which to me, wasn't much of a surprise.984Please respect copyright.PENANAK8MxF07Rwa
As for Jinwoo and 984Please respect copyright.PENANAzf6bdfIS1S
Christine, they seem to be hitting it off pretty well like good friends.984Please respect copyright.PENANAGoPH8ZNOwS
I for one thought they made a really cute couple. Though I had to keep 984Please respect copyright.PENANAT7BQ9bFnar
in mind Collins' golden rule about not dating anyone while we were here 984Please respect copyright.PENANAh7Q6tz57Ok
in Korea.984Please respect copyright.PENANApiDl41y44Z
As for Seunghoon, I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAXhCj1CEUPk
wasn't going to let go of him that easily. He and I had a lot of talking984Please respect copyright.PENANAVwJjE7GoCZ
to do concerning how he got in the closet in the first place. I guess 984Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jbi1mcvyj
he was the one who had secretly been stalking me the whole time.984Please respect copyright.PENANAkjqSCgdlCq
Before they left, we 984Please respect copyright.PENANAgNQPaJgwOO
agreed to meet tomorrow at YG, though the three BigBang members didn't 984Please respect copyright.PENANAA3MEWbsCDF
think it was a good idea because of their manager. Even if the two 984Please respect copyright.PENANA6qoie05De0
groups were to meet, how were we, The Toxins, going to agree with 984Please respect copyright.PENANAVNi81LdFW3
Collins to let us go to YG? As far as everyone's concerned, we were done984Please respect copyright.PENANA9iGt3VRwBn
with our collabo with BigBang. What else were we going to do at that 984Please respect copyright.PENANA2v7Euigosd
place?984Please respect copyright.PENANAatKwzSw88T
I already had that part 984Please respect copyright.PENANAioY9OVtG9I
all sorted out. G-Dragon declared that whatever I had planned wasn't 984Please respect copyright.PENANAf2JVgkl9Vu
going to work this time around. The other Toxins and WINNER had faith 984Please respect copyright.PENANAS9KqWYuM63
that it will. And I was pretty sure it would work because I knew I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAJOaSANlEYN
wouldn't have to break a sweat.984Please respect copyright.PENANACpFmSOHdzu
Right now, this very 984Please respect copyright.PENANAfjFOF6dNK1
morning, I'm in my purple pyjamas with a matching sleeping robe and 984Please respect copyright.PENANAnvhSt5zoKw
fluffy bed slippers, stretching and yawning as I stepped out of my room 984Please respect copyright.PENANAMSa7NKWB5G
into the hall. I made my way to the lounge where I found Collins and Lee984Please respect copyright.PENANArQRZyFa0Xa
by the dining table, working. The two had been so busy yesterday and 984Please respect copyright.PENANATZR6ru9Npr
still even today. I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee about WINNER 984Please respect copyright.PENANAnnOY5i0suL
because she came back so tired last night and went early to bed.984Please respect copyright.PENANAudaeNWtzNb
"Morning," I said as I approached the dining table.984Please respect copyright.PENANAAqNv4B3Zbc
"Morning," Collins replied first, then Lee. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANADJNTsOjOBD
"I'm tired of sleeping,"984Please respect copyright.PENANAADvbwX7UMD
I said as I drew out a chair and sat on the opposite end of the table 984Please respect copyright.PENANAoA48HzCfWq
from where Collins sat. I needed to look at him straight in the eye as 984Please respect copyright.PENANA7AtylUtN37
we talk. But as for now, he was looking down at some paper work.984Please respect copyright.PENANAHqshSihdf9
"Well, you can always do something, right?" he suggested.984Please respect copyright.PENANAcHWiUWUYAp
"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."984Please respect copyright.PENANANw2jBIY5dj
"What old routine?" Collins asked. He was still not looking at me.984Please respect copyright.PENANAr20RsSP2Lz
"You know, going for 984Please respect copyright.PENANAw3l4nIAvMT
practise every morning. We're done with what we came to do here, so I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAkM7MkTQBG8
was thinking it's best we try and keep ourselves busy while we wait to 984Please respect copyright.PENANA7t0lyfAOT2
go home. We can't always go shopping and sightseeing everyday. At least 984Please respect copyright.PENANAbbmX5rP1gS
we try to do what we're familiar with."984Please respect copyright.PENANAl4pQuyKT2P
"Mmmm, I guess you're 984Please respect copyright.PENANAf4OajjMmuP
right," said Collins as he looked up at me. "I was wondering what you 984Please respect copyright.PENANAKcur5pohOe
guys will be doing the whole time now that shooting the music video is 984Please respect copyright.PENANASYhpVCz0nc
done, and you came up with a pretty good idea."984Please respect copyright.PENANAbvqWbC5i5B
"I did?" I tried not to act surprised through my sleepiness.984Please respect copyright.PENANAdKXAYgA3AI
"Yep," Collins nodded 984Please respect copyright.PENANAOJfDBYwOGx
his head. "I think doing your usual routine to start the day will be 984Please respect copyright.PENANAjV8m2IeDRo
perfect. Why don't you wake up the others and head to YG? I don't want 984Please respect copyright.PENANAGohxwQOjBE
all of you to become lazy bums at the end of the day and that won't be 984Please respect copyright.PENANArHSQ94zku0
good now, will it?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAgLdKeO5G99
Wow. This was literally 984Please respect copyright.PENANAqJIp3h8U5C
not breaking a sweat. I didn't even have to look at him the entire time 984Please respect copyright.PENANA0vWu2xDXoq
and he even agreed for us to start today. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.984Please respect copyright.PENANAcg7HrbEXDU
I tried not to act all happy about it as I yawned and slowly stood up from the chair.984Please respect copyright.PENANAVLKL1nu20O
"Okay, I'll go wake them up," I said.984Please respect copyright.PENANA6kdchSt5Ja
I left the lounge at a 984Please respect copyright.PENANADzzeJZ3wJJ
slow and steady pace. When I turned around the corner, I quickly and 984Please respect copyright.PENANAY9mwB0KEeD
quietly ran back to my room with so much excitement and through the door984Please respect copyright.PENANAslKpz8Mg3V
I had left open. I ran in and jumped on Zoey's bed to wake her up.984Please respect copyright.PENANAqqTkwxjGs0
Zoey sat up with a start984Please respect copyright.PENANAf8MiJyQ48H
immediately I landed on her bed. She sucked her teeth in irritation 984Please respect copyright.PENANAVdG8yvDl40
when she noticed it was me and fell back into the bed covers.984Please respect copyright.PENANAr4vrhcsYL2
"What's your problem, Sam?" she whined. "Can't you see it's too early in the morning?"984Please respect copyright.PENANABm3F4i8MHZ
"Don't you want to go and see WINNER or what?" I asked as I looked down at her.984Please respect copyright.PENANA4IODHoGfw0
At first she didn't say a984Please respect copyright.PENANAxOkMbB5EKq
word until she scrambled to sit up, pushing the bed covers aside and 984Please respect copyright.PENANA8TMs1A0lTd
looking at me with her eyes wide open.984Please respect copyright.PENANAOgprY24rj5
"What did you say?" she asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAVt1YPhqWqp
"Get ready, we're going for practise," I said as I stood up from the bed.984Please respect copyright.PENANAtMxdqxa9mI
"We're going to YG for practise? And meet WINNER there?" Zoey couldn't believe it. "Collins agreed?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAtbhEaXCYks
"Ya. So get your lazy butt out of bed and let's go. I'll go wake up the others."984Please respect copyright.PENANAwpAyoGuoRS
"Sam, I love you," said Zoey with a smile. "You really had it all planned out, didn't you?"984Please respect copyright.PENANA6PbBNdA7nv
"I did say I had a plan, right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "And Collins agreed without an argument."984Please respect copyright.PENANAOXoCGKSOmN
"I can't wait for GD to see this. And he said your plan wouldn't work."984Please respect copyright.PENANAHRkdeSJ8vQ
"Sometimes it's nice to prove people wrong." I smiled and headed out of the room.984Please respect copyright.PENANAdnyw9e5X5S
I went to wake up 984Please respect copyright.PENANAFbFSmVu6fq
Christine who couldn't understand why we were going for practise until I984Please respect copyright.PENANAR2ubpSy41u
told her that we had to meet WINNER at YG.984Please respect copyright.PENANAwIAbV4HqdS
"Wow, seriously?" Christine asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Collins agreed to go back to the old routine?"984Please respect copyright.PENANADrL8IPxuqe
"I gave a reasonable 984Please respect copyright.PENANAi679PqyZEh
explanation so, he agreed. Now, get your gym bag all packed up. You 984Please respect copyright.PENANAtLxthWncgU
don't want to miss meeting Jinwoo now, do you?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAmxdwMYNOT0
I noticed Christine 984Please respect copyright.PENANA0PCCcHOuyG
blush out of no where and I decided not to taunt her about it. I quickly984Please respect copyright.PENANA5dojn4REBx
walked out of the room to go and wake my brothers up. And as much as 984Please respect copyright.PENANAw99MhCjcjQ
they were excited that we were back to doing the old routine, they were 984Please respect copyright.PENANAjisM5o6Oy3
happy that they would be meeting WINNER again.984Please respect copyright.PENANAbaAbiaDitu
When we all had our bags984Please respect copyright.PENANA5C68CQ0RIx
packed and we were all dressed ready to go for practise, we found 984Please respect copyright.PENANAIbZdMsTyqt
ourselves in the lounge. Collins and Lee had stopped discussing and 984Please respect copyright.PENANAyx77RFDoAn
looked at us.984Please respect copyright.PENANAp6kLyt5nWv
"Well, that was quick," said Collins.984Please respect copyright.PENANANEf6m4OPWX
"We don't need to do so much when going for practise, do we?" Zoey asked. "You told us that."984Please respect copyright.PENANAy5QDTHObmj
"She's right," said Lee as she looked at Collins.984Please respect copyright.PENANAUmGsV9WJjd
"I hate when you use my 984Please respect copyright.PENANA3XowLvT3Ea
words against me," said Collins. "Let's go before you start to say 984Please respect copyright.PENANAfmu9Z00J8N
something I'm not looking forward to hearing."984Please respect copyright.PENANAcd0npN8ztM
"You know I can't do that, Collins," said Zoey. "I care too much."984Please respect copyright.PENANAlrRRgdcfsU
Collins rolled his eyes 984Please respect copyright.PENANAcekAdAK5lS
and that almost made me laugh. "I'll keep that in mind," he said as he 984Please respect copyright.PENANACByfDKc3Pe
stood up from his chair. "Let's go."984Please respect copyright.PENANAlmcFIs5oTE
"Isn't Lee coming with us?" Daniel asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0ripz0P6F
"I would really love to,984Please respect copyright.PENANAp8qKL3qgXD
guys, but we've a lot of work to do," said Lee. "I'll make sure to pass984Please respect copyright.PENANA9bWO2EQicN
by at lunchtime to check on you."984Please respect copyright.PENANAvtfow7eIY0
"You should, we have a lot to tell you," said Christine.984Please respect copyright.PENANAxLcgYLOSUR
"And what would you possibly want to tell Lee that you wouldn't tell me?" Collins asked with his arms folded.984Please respect copyright.PENANAfiFlRoUOph
"Nothing," said Christine.984Please respect copyright.PENANAXpoTbc3OlO
I noticed Mike give 984Please respect copyright.PENANAeJKZzt8dAn
Christine a little shove on the shoulder and he whispered to her to shut984Please respect copyright.PENANAWqNXTEtv20
up. I quickly intervened before Collins could notice and ask what was 984Please respect copyright.PENANA0MIQv0EBRo
going on.984Please respect copyright.PENANAdGNd6isacr
"It's just about the 984Please respect copyright.PENANAc9yswf4XrG
k-drama series we watched last night," I said. "Lee was so tired that 984Please respect copyright.PENANARb6yyZfdew
she missed the episode that we were all planning on telling her what 984Please respect copyright.PENANAAzC9QtoveO
happened."984Please respect copyright.PENANA8bcfNl1r9r
"You girls will tell her," said Mike. "I don't watch your k-dramas."984Please respect copyright.PENANA43uymXnE3L
Collins sighed. "I don't watch k-dramas either but we all love something, right? Let's go."984Please respect copyright.PENANAwZMqX9u6qr
We all said bye to Lee and we headed to the elevator and found the SUV waiting for us as usual outside.984Please respect copyright.PENANAt1NH5nYB5R
When we arrived at YG, 984Please respect copyright.PENANAz783RlO90h
we disembarked out of the car at the entrance of the building. Collins 984Please respect copyright.PENANApjpqqtbOND
wasn't coming in with us because he said he had to rush back to work.984Please respect copyright.PENANAjl7cPg3lLh
"I already informed the 984Please respect copyright.PENANAuN4vufDk0H
working staff that you guys will be around," said Collins as he talked 984Please respect copyright.PENANAzAbyj2OI7w
to us through the car window. "You guys behave yourselves, okay?"984Please respect copyright.PENANA1yzTCfJ6eU
"Don't worry about a thing, Collins," I said. "I can handle it when things get out of hand."984Please respect copyright.PENANArGIR2cAZB3
"I know you will. See you later."984Please respect copyright.PENANATO651D6GmE
"Bye, Collins," said Zoey and Christine at the same time as they waved at Collins who waved back.984Please respect copyright.PENANA2rtVdnjWRf
Immediately the car drove out of the YG premises, we all turned around and found ourselves in the lobby.984Please respect copyright.PENANA3MV5aNBeHZ
"I can't believe this is happening," said Christine so excitedly as we walked towards the elevator.984Please respect copyright.PENANAz9Ls3sJ0ye
"I know. Sam is a genius!" Zoey said as she wrapped her arm around my neck and brought me closer to her.984Please respect copyright.PENANA7g1Kmvtrkz
"Careful, Zoey," I said 984Please respect copyright.PENANAbHRqbA4kzo
as I waved at the receptionist at the desk, who happily waved back at 984Please respect copyright.PENANAr8ecMGn3Hd
us. "And you're squeezing me to death."984Please respect copyright.PENANAyiknFKpU4Z
"My sis has always been a genius," said Daniel.984Please respect copyright.PENANAFDlEQWypyE
"Did you text them that we're already here?" Mike asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAVOMzLd0BZr
"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.984Please respect copyright.PENANAGSnm459inz
"Good, so we wait," said Zoey as she pressed the up button of the elevator.984Please respect copyright.PENANAqKmdAZFkOu
"No," I said as the 984Please respect copyright.PENANAa4UJX9PMgF
doors flew open and we all went in. "We practise." The doors closed 984Please respect copyright.PENANAR8Lp7yGWzm
before us and I pressed the button to the floor leading to the dance 984Please respect copyright.PENANA99cSsErFs7
studios.984Please respect copyright.PENANA24cfJbs9EA
"Are you kidding me?" Zoey moaned as she leaned on the walls.984Please respect copyright.PENANA6XwgZLsliX
"We did say we come here for exactly that, didn't we? It would look weird if we were just snooping around doing nothing."984Please respect copyright.PENANALP8XzBra6N
"And besides, I don't think we've gone for practise in the morning for a while now," said Mike. "I really missed dance."984Please respect copyright.PENANAmbCqoAi3If
"We just danced three days ago," said Zoey, with her eyebrow raised.984Please respect copyright.PENANAwhePKVeiNT
"That's different."984Please respect copyright.PENANAQKWubkAkVL
"Ya, I still get what you mean. So, we practise and while we do that we wait for WINNER."984Please respect copyright.PENANA6NnK7NHIwj
"Exactly," I said as I smiled at Zoey. "Not so hard to do, isn't it?"984Please respect copyright.PENANA9OeD8g2Jpu
"Don't mind, Zoey," said Christine. "We all know her too much already."984Please respect copyright.PENANAI10bPxGS5r
"I'm not a lazy bum if that's what you mean," said Zoey.984Please respect copyright.PENANAhGidWdB7SI
We soon got to the dance studios and when we occupied one of themy which was empty, we began to practise right away.984Please respect copyright.PENANAZySgqKu78C
It was so much fun 984Please respect copyright.PENANAF4aZC7wU2k
getting back to our old routine. I soon had that sense of relief after 984Please respect copyright.PENANAa8bd9p51JV
we practised even though I was tired after our first few rounds. I was 984Please respect copyright.PENANAJpOeuL4zPS
born to dance and I realised that I had missed doing it.984Please respect copyright.PENANAtgOOQzBs0T
"What time are these guys coming?" Zoey asked as she was seated on the floor.984Please respect copyright.PENANAXaV1xOQ7KE
"It isn't even close to two hours, Zoey," I said with my hands on my hips.984Please respect copyright.PENANA4YcaXEMyem
"I know, I'm just impatient and I'm already tired of practise."984Please respect copyright.PENANAZdOaLiqDYJ
"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."984Please respect copyright.PENANAfmUIgTQYKv
"Another round!" Zoey complained. "Can't we at least wait for the boys and Christine to come back?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAUyaiD9cAsf
Christine, Mike and Daniel had gone out to fetch water bottles for all of us downstairs a good five minutes ago.984Please respect copyright.PENANAWIcpbFiQj3
"Come on, let's go one on one, just you and me," I challenged.984Please respect copyright.PENANA3WkM989KNx
"No way," said Zoey, still on the floor and shaking her head. "You know that you're a way better dancer than I am."984Please respect copyright.PENANAclmzQrjVNB
"Mike's like 'the' best in our group."984Please respect copyright.PENANAVfGeJ0NgxH
"And you're second. There's not much of a difference."984Please respect copyright.PENANATaFulvjJiS
"Come on, Zoey," I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAJI5WhY8zac
pleaded as I went over to the Beats by Dre pill, lying a few feet away 984Please respect copyright.PENANAoe55k8sHLn
from us. "I promise I'll play that song you really like."984Please respect copyright.PENANAKeU0mWLMmD
"What song?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAg2pOyr5hOT
I didn't answer when I 984Please respect copyright.PENANA6TgFz1agtJ
got my phone that was lying close to the pill and went through my music 984Please respect copyright.PENANA2JbC4Dqqn3
list. I tapped on the track, "The Greatest" by Sia and the music on the 984Please respect copyright.PENANA96VearL3MS
pill soon started to play.984Please respect copyright.PENANAJLhKJNBmBb
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.984Please respect copyright.PENANAuyEWBuzi8v
"I hate you, Sam," she said as I approached her.984Please respect copyright.PENANAvpB2wLUH6a
"Just dance, Zoey," I said as we stood a few feet away from her, facing her.984Please respect copyright.PENANAQcbT58xoAS
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.984Please respect copyright.PENANA2UACoyEfxC
It's been a while since I984Please respect copyright.PENANAfcUGOLJ5wS
had a real dance battle with Zoey and I had to admit, I was enjoying 984Please respect copyright.PENANAzCv44LRfgm
myself. Though we were dancing to one of Zoey's favourite songs and she 984Please respect copyright.PENANAOoHgPSlvxJ
was so good at dancing to it, I felt I was up to her level.984Please respect copyright.PENANASclLNYfO2n
At the end of it, the 984Please respect copyright.PENANAQJPFflJDgb
whole thing didn't finish like a dance battle. We danced together both 984Please respect copyright.PENANAVwqETwePYv
our moves synchronising with one another.984Please respect copyright.PENANAiS2OjiWsMH
When the song was done, the two of us were facing each other and panting like crazy.984Please respect copyright.PENANA9o3lcPu6hN
"That was so cool," said Zoey. "Let's do that again."984Please respect copyright.PENANAEQUjvywm6c
"Wow! You two were awesome," came Mino's voice behind us.984Please respect copyright.PENANAlMULwaULwE
Zoey and I turned around and there stood, Mino and Seunghoon, both smiling at us.984Please respect copyright.PENANAgJYtVfO5k2
"Aaah! You're here!" Zoey exclaimed excitedly and ran over to them. I was too exhausted to run, so I walked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAERdOdoDBqw
"Morning guys, how are you doing?" Zoey greeted them. "I wish I could hug you but I'm all drenched in sweat."984Please respect copyright.PENANArbL6V3BtRJ
"We're great," said Mino. "Can we watch you two dance battle again? It was awesome."984Please respect copyright.PENANAfW6gGwsrpi
"You watched the whole thing?" I asked as I finally got closer.984Please respect copyright.PENANAYZSi7m0sYd
"Pretty much," said Seunghoon.984Please respect copyright.PENANAZjREYWf5xh
"Okay, so who do you think is a better dancer?" Zoey asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANArgaag8o5DZ
"Zoey," I gave her that look telling her that it wasn't necessary.984Please respect copyright.PENANAkwmOuNOsIP
"No, like, seriously," Zoey went on completely ignoring me. "Whose the best?"984Please respect copyright.PENANA72xR2f1rRl
Mino and Seunghoon both 984Please respect copyright.PENANAsgNRdtJ0OU
looked at each other and I didn't want to know what was running through 984Please respect copyright.PENANAQkygLrwy8w
their minds. They smiled and went on to look at Zoey and I.984Please respect copyright.PENANAWcVRPtSwD3
"I think Sam is a better dancer," said Seunghoon.984Please respect copyright.PENANAbolpPWWewn
"Well, I think Zoey is," said Mino.984Please respect copyright.PENANAXljJMpiaEj
Zoey smiled to herself. "And it's a tie. We need more votes."984Please respect copyright.PENANAAiyWPh46WX
"Zoey can you just drop the whole thing? It's not really necessary," I said.984Please respect copyright.PENANAeg8NU3F3vr
"Where is Seungyoon and Jinwoo?" Zoey asked, ignoring me again. "Didn't you all come together?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAadw6ta7Ak6
"We met the other Toxins downstairs and they decided to stick with them," Mino answered. 984Please respect copyright.PENANAckIQf8Pj2G
"We will wait for them and then Sam and I can dance again and see who is the best."984Please respect copyright.PENANAGt3k6SonJF
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.984Please respect copyright.PENANAfytXC6JShS
"Seunghoon, you I need to talk," I said as I looked at him.984Please respect copyright.PENANAVhmgUrtTXw
"Ya, sure. What is it?" Seunghoon asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANALXodqjNHDA
I nudged my head to the 984Please respect copyright.PENANAJqgt3p9yxR
side telling him to follow me. I went over to the wall and leaned my 984Please respect copyright.PENANAQXk5Gi1GdL
back on to it. I had the back heel of my right foot pressing against the984Please respect copyright.PENANAztSfuBcfoT
wall as I was staring at Seunghoon as he came closer.984Please respect copyright.PENANAzvNEsQzcRp
"I want to know everything," I said with my arms folded.984Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ3eaP4r0h
Seunghoon lips were 984Please respect copyright.PENANAqtcZzCoEdV
raised to a smile. And it was a corky one. That meant he knew what I was984Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9BFfeB7TS
talking about. I wished he could stop doing that. He was making me lose984Please respect copyright.PENANAXYHxaBLlGr
focus.984Please respect copyright.PENANAEoEtpI7Un3
"You aren't letting this go, are you?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.984Please respect copyright.PENANA5yTTseQnu2
"The others might, but I984Please respect copyright.PENANAFN3yIs6JQw
haven't," I said. "And I can also bet, the BigBang members aren't going984Please respect copyright.PENANAzBrwZFCChz
to either. So, were you the one at the park hiding behind the trees 984Please respect copyright.PENANAkFbMRathpR
when TOP came to pick me up?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAe4QjUPCAGo
Seunghoon took a step closer and answered, "yes."984Please respect copyright.PENANARrK53weZoZ
"And the one who was standing behind the door when I was alone in the recording studio and I chased you down the hall?"984Please respect copyright.PENANA2zyLA6uOxi
He again took a step closer. "Yes."984Please respect copyright.PENANA99n4Z8v9jO
Well, that made sense 984Please respect copyright.PENANAeAIRIXXToH
since the time I was chasing him down the hall, I never caught him 984Please respect copyright.PENANAEPIyJkeS1h
because he had disappeared when I reached the lobby and no one had seen 984Please respect copyright.PENANAvw59Qq53FH
him. Only a person who knew YG could know where to go without being 984Please respect copyright.PENANAUAGTq7Cxss
seen.984Please respect copyright.PENANAUy1gxbPsOB
I hadn't realised it 984Please respect copyright.PENANAc5gGDmb1qc
till now that I was looking up at him. He was so tall and he was looking984Please respect copyright.PENANAxdwcpvNqPM
down at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I gulped at how close he was 984Please respect copyright.PENANA0mtR6f2Iu5
that I could feel his body warmth. And that made me pretty 984Please respect copyright.PENANAEBjinCu0gQ
uncomfortable.984Please respect copyright.PENANAZh2zOJWSaU
"So, its been you the whole time?" I asked as I looked away, trying to ignore him and how close he was.984Please respect copyright.PENANAVA5rERFkCY
"Well, yes," he 984Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5WQ4ZsKEj
answered. "The others knew about it and they didn't like the idea of me 984Please respect copyright.PENANAaZure3gPb2
stalking you. But I couldn't because I'm such a big fan of The Toxins."984Please respect copyright.PENANAIH4zgKmNzd
"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."984Please respect copyright.PENANADwmBWeOfjo
"Apparently you happen to be my bias," said Seunghoon as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.984Please respect copyright.PENANAzC2nczPgkG
I blushed and I was a 984Please respect copyright.PENANAmmL4wa9rW7
little surprised that he used the word "bias." In Korea, most people 984Please respect copyright.PENANAq3JyoSJZ5i
refer to that word when it was comes to the person who tends to be a 984Please respect copyright.PENANAHGGvKFdagw
personal favourite or most liked especially in relation to k-pop 984Please respect copyright.PENANAY6A9YbU1Ed
celebrities.984Please respect copyright.PENANABnwLkZYB5h
Seunghoon playfully tapped the tip of my nose and he laughed. "You look so cute when you blush. Has anyone ever told you that?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAWI6i5aod57
"Well, yes," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.984Please respect copyright.PENANATUfZPFEJ0q
"I bet most of the BigBang members say that about you."984Please respect copyright.PENANA7AET7blzf1
"No, they don't," I lied984Please respect copyright.PENANAyveE0hj76u
and Seunghoon laughed. He could clearly see through me because I was 984Please respect copyright.PENANA2KIAGD3Bzp
blushing too much. I shoved him aside and walked away. Luckily, the 984Please respect copyright.PENANApXXN7fHy68
others had arrived.984Please respect copyright.PENANAwi9Co0Q4oJ
"Good, the two groups are complete," said Zoey as she clapped her hands together.984Please respect copyright.PENANAsodFVVSlFH
"A 'hi' would be nice, don't you think?" Jinwoo suggested as he walked alongside Christine.984Please respect copyright.PENANAd12lTBTHPA
"That's Zoey," I said. "How are you two doing today?" I asked Seungyoon and Jinwoo.984Please respect copyright.PENANAg1idCvd0tL
"We're great," Seungyoon answered. "And you?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAX4S1uIBseb
"Awesome," I replied.984Please respect copyright.PENANAmgBC3iSSMl
"Okay, Sam get over here," said Zoey as she took hold of my hand and dragged me with her.984Please respect copyright.PENANAXaQXVuvuGZ
"What the....Zoey!" I tried to pull my arm away from her grip but I was still being dragged along either way.984Please respect copyright.PENANAcu6kycQi6J
"What's going on?" Mike asked. I bet he had a confused look on his face.984Please respect copyright.PENANAlBGrBlHTUe
Zoey stopped when she and I stood a few feet from the others. She turned to look at them.984Please respect copyright.PENANAKDr0lmxImf
"Sam and I are going to have a dance battle," she said.984Please respect copyright.PENANALaH2qg88JL
"Huh?" Christine looked confused.984Please respect copyright.PENANAxSX5F743ei
"Is that really necessary?" Daniel asked. "You should be having a dance battle with Mike not Sam."984Please respect copyright.PENANAGyYVORvNSf
"And besides, you and I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8E8EGKiWp
have countless dance battles back home," I said after I pulled my hand 984Please respect copyright.PENANAQkeQQr194l
away from her grip. "If you ask me, we were just having fun until Mino 984Please respect copyright.PENANAcvK9tLz6ZC
and Seunghoon showed up."984Please respect copyright.PENANAZVIlFDoxK1
"Zoey, Sam is a better dancer than you. Period," said Mike as he unscrewed a bottle of water and drank some.984Please respect copyright.PENANAP8onqsrzg6
"That's not what Mino said," said Zoey with her hands on her hips.984Please respect copyright.PENANAdvPQM07slC
"You should have seen the dance battle these two had," said Mino. "It was pretty awesome."984Please respect copyright.PENANA832kQKSRES
"I would also love to see it," said Jinwoo.984Please respect copyright.PENANASKT1Sl4OLu
"Pretty, please?" Seungyoon pleaded with his hands clapped together and looking at me with those cute adorable eyes of his.984Please respect copyright.PENANAft2cbM7V8t
Apparently, he wasn't 984Please respect copyright.PENANA8WOJaYb0Ex
the only one doing the puppy eye thing. The four WINNER members were all984Please respect copyright.PENANA9vKrsrYAIp
doing but as they looked at me. Mino even had to pout his lips and that984Please respect copyright.PENANAK57DKxMHgc
just made him look even more adorable.984Please respect copyright.PENANA0qvX7IALYx
I wanted to look away but I couldn't. They were really making me do something I didn't want to do.984Please respect copyright.PENANAwBrLBH8U5X
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "Look, they are even doing the puppy eyes. So cute."984Please respect copyright.PENANAMd5Ubqcq98
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine. Let's battle," I said as I walked over to the audio Beats by Dre pill.984Please respect copyright.PENANAt1zJywZUrY
"Yes!" I heard the four 984Please respect copyright.PENANAMIoI4QBPrX
of them cheer. I smiled at their reaction as I got my phone and looked 984Please respect copyright.PENANAkCMHOfbHTV
at the track list. Then, something came to me.984Please respect copyright.PENANAqmlZHotfIl
"Change of plans, Zoey,"984Please respect copyright.PENANALKTL2Fyph8
I said as I turned around. Everyone's eyes were now on me. "If you want984Please respect copyright.PENANAgWHzDlcrui
this dance battle, I suggest we pick another song."984Please respect copyright.PENANA6VhYicuLVc
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I'm up for it."984Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ50ZXsAE5
"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."984Please respect copyright.PENANAC5RqqPXbb2
"This just got interesting," said Mino.984Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z5GfPLvMx
"Fine, whatever." Zoey rolled her eyes. "What song are we dancing to?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAsBzCKEi4cc
"Ringa Linga (링가 링가) by Taeyang," I beamed. "One of my personal favourites."984Please respect copyright.PENANANhj6gZCfJv
"Taeyang is going to 984Please respect copyright.PENANA2jElen0FsZ
love this," said Mike as he went over to his gym bag to get his phone. 984Please respect copyright.PENANApPBCnWcYIH
"Good song choice by the way, Sam. It's also one of my favourites."984Please respect copyright.PENANAMlsTjGKZby
"Thanks," I smiled at my brother who had his phone ready to capture a video. I turned to look at Zoey. "Ready for this."984Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ggho8Iadk
"Totally," said Zoey, as she looked back at me.984Please respect copyright.PENANAXENDPPbZOG
I tapped the track on my984Please respect copyright.PENANA2N2z2ffFzp
phone and quickly put the phone next to the audio pill and quickly 984Please respect copyright.PENANAkw2kJ9MC5A
rushed to stand face to face with Zoey.984Please respect copyright.PENANABHJbj8VGmc
When the song started, I984Please respect copyright.PENANA6tectqpDaN
took the dance floor and danced. Then Zoey stepped in. We kept taking 984Please respect copyright.PENANAHSGAMuYZJ3
turns, but whenever it came to the chorus, she and I would dance 984Please respect copyright.PENANAS3JZVhcIeb
together, dancing to the actual moves done in the actual music video. I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAl2WNGnOKgi
was a little surprised dancing to the moves because I had never tried to984Please respect copyright.PENANAo3KsfgwanK
practice on them before. All I ever did was watch. And Zoey was also 984Please respect copyright.PENANAC5YCBthBmU
doing a pretty good with the moves too.984Please respect copyright.PENANA9DyhR7CsuS
When the song was done and Zoey and I stood there in our stance, there was a loud cheer coming from the others.984Please respect copyright.PENANApfVrgl3vOj
"Wow, totally mind blowing," said Jinwoo.984Please respect copyright.PENANA79VgmTM847
"Whenever it came to the984Please respect copyright.PENANAkkEUuDkaog
chorus, it didn't look like you were having a dance battle at all," 984Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Yv3gMc31
sais Seungyoon. "I've to say, that was pretty sweet to watch."984Please respect copyright.PENANAnDL5Vj9RYH
"I loved everything about this dance battle," said Mino. "I could watch you two all day long."984Please respect copyright.PENANArzBpXv7yzZ
"Thanks, guys," I said.984Please respect copyright.PENANAcXSgVbbu8z
"I loved that you danced to that song," said Christine.984Please respect copyright.PENANAOprpAizeAu
"Now, coming to my 984Please respect copyright.PENANA4nReQ80gPk
question," started Zoey, trying to gather her breath. I rolled my eyes 984Please respect copyright.PENANAJxAVg7xZeJ
as I walked away and got a water bottle from Christine. "Who do you 984Please respect copyright.PENANA83gM3SuK2r
think is a better dancer?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAlE9mre6JLt
"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."984Please respect copyright.PENANAHbbQENX5Gj
"Why?" Zoey asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAZsAaAXm2A8
"I think you and I both 984Please respect copyright.PENANAA8QpLhmpiN
danced really well and there is no need to ask. Besides, you and I have 984Please respect copyright.PENANAxE8vL1SVXk
never practised on those moves in our lives, especially on the chorus. 984Please respect copyright.PENANAyKXALZm5Aw
That counts for something, right?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAerv60IQ7fF
"I agree with Sam," said Daniel. "You two were great."984Please respect copyright.PENANAxSyMwVYODv
"Sam is right," said Seungyoon. "I wouldn't also fuss about it if I were you."984Please respect copyright.PENANAAYdCdYaLzE
"I still want to know though," said Zoey.984Please respect copyright.PENANAhIsOxBDmlx
"Fine, I've a better idea," said Mike. "Why don't we ask the whole world to vote?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAzXihpnz4iD
"Wait, you want to ask our fans?" Daniel asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAMNaMq49nHO
"Well, ya." Mike 984Please respect copyright.PENANAX9dAhh01w3
shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to vote because I think it's 984Please respect copyright.PENANAxxajsLSlLD
pretty obvious who is the best." He put so much emphasis on that last 984Please respect copyright.PENANAXsPVr4Lifo
sentence as he looked at Zoey.984Please respect copyright.PENANAPyBtMOFoAS
"Mike's right," said Zoey as she approached him. "Let our fans choose who won the dance battle."984Please respect copyright.PENANAfb1EDTngQk
"This is pathetic," I muttered to myself as I drank some more water.984Please respect copyright.PENANAAQHdGWZGW4
"I also think it will be984Please respect copyright.PENANAYm3sfLIUL1
great if the fans see this," said Jinwoo. "They will love it and will 984Please respect copyright.PENANAgiirx1Fs2x
obviously bring out a better opinion."984Please respect copyright.PENANAF2dre82PvS
"See, even Jinwoo agrees," said Zoey as she looked at me.984Please respect copyright.PENANAC3AvVj54Ku
"Count me out of it," I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAH4jSqX8AdE
said as I raised my hands midway in the air and took a step back. "I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAHBnY7KitmX
don't care what you people do at the end of the day."984Please respect copyright.PENANAvEkGo3CS7o
"Fine, I'll create a 984Please respect copyright.PENANA4CPiX8or6I
voting poll and upload the video. At the end of the day, we will see how984Please respect copyright.PENANAPO9fPyFyQX
all this comes out," said Mike, as he tapped away on his phone. "Though984Please respect copyright.PENANAOq2dcWYejf
I'm pretty sure Sam will win."984Please respect copyright.PENANAnvX36Ak3u5
"You're just saying that because she's your sister," said Zoey. "I know I'm going to win."984Please respect copyright.PENANAuv8AswW5aH
"No, it's because I'm speaking the truth. Daniel, back me up on this one."984Please respect copyright.PENANAR1mBxPbPiA
"Don't look at me, I would rather see what the fans think," said Daniel.984Please respect copyright.PENANAr5l62EUl5m
Zoey and Mike soon got 984Please respect copyright.PENANA5yglU4aJXB
into their little debate while the others listened. I decided to ignore 984Please respect copyright.PENANAcxaVNNhMhR
them and went over to get my phone and the audio pill. Looked like 984Please respect copyright.PENANAUQF6q9Ge5f
practise was already over since everyone was now talking about the dance984Please respect copyright.PENANAOAAiLWVcd6
battle.984Please respect copyright.PENANABsITi5Y92r
I got my phone and the 984Please respect copyright.PENANAq6kZmRvfEV
pill in my other hand. I was checking my phone for any messages until I 984Please respect copyright.PENANApbJ8gJrvy7
soon felt a sudden presence of someone standing next to me.984Please respect copyright.PENANA23oKL64WwJ
"Well, you don't seem so enthusiastic about the whole thing," came Jinwoo.984Please respect copyright.PENANAZLZMmSWhmC
I turned to look at him 984Please respect copyright.PENANADYR9qIjS2p
and he had that friendly smile on his face. I smiled back at him in an 984Please respect copyright.PENANAwuley8WoAH
instant. Felt more like an impulse. His smile was so warm, you couldn't 984Please respect copyright.PENANAzv9VHeCp4f
easily ignore it. Even a person who had been grumpy the whole day would 984Please respect copyright.PENANAz158aLUSmP
smile if they were to look at him.984Please respect copyright.PENANAdXIY5gyco1
"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."984Please respect copyright.PENANAtcHVlKhjb3
"If you ask me, I think you clearly won the dance battle," he said.984Please respect copyright.PENANAzWUYIgZHGP
"Thanks, but make sure Zoey doesn't hear that. I wouldn't like to see her yell at you."984Please respect copyright.PENANAzZRDiWPmiD
"Trust me, I wouldn't. Mike did say she is a drama queen for a reason."984Please respect copyright.PENANAau0YfudnCX
"You're right about that."984Please respect copyright.PENANAjnjo8jT3k8
I looked behind me with a984Please respect copyright.PENANACqpLek4c6m
smile and I could see the debate heating up a little. I wasn't too 984Please respect copyright.PENANAgl1KqrxUKD
worried about my brother and Zoey. They might have their differences, 984Please respect copyright.PENANAfdVrX8ZTHe
but they never got into a serious fight, better yet a physical one. The 984Please respect copyright.PENANA0gBXJziz3F
two of them arguing was an everyday drama I never got to stress over.984Please respect copyright.PENANA6CSY3dX3RY
"They aren't going to stop, are they?" Jinwoo asked. 984Please respect copyright.PENANAcfmy6N7RZ4
"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."984Please respect copyright.PENANARZuHIzRMxm
"Have no clue. Any bright ideas?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAWGEFYsCZLV
"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."984Please respect copyright.PENANAR1kMGdGZmE
"Maybe we can sneak out. And go some place to have fun."984Please respect copyright.PENANAuqBJA1U49c
"Ya, you're right. Though we all shouldn't be seen together or else it will raise questions."984Please respect copyright.PENANAbnsTHyMDop
"May I ask what you two are up to?" Christine asked as she approached us with Daniel.984Please respect copyright.PENANAGcOlV3WMLO
"We're planning a way to sneak out of the place without being seen together," I replied.984Please respect copyright.PENANAaIH6Andljl
"Sneak out? Why?" Daniel asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAek05Ef4jQl
"We made plans to hang out with WINNER, didn't we? And we can't do it here."984Please respect copyright.PENANAU9oqCOLdtU
"Then, how are we going to get out?" Christine asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAEwfNq0bcIJ
"It's a Sunday and there isn't a lot of people around," said Jinwoo. "It's not going to be that complicated."984Please respect copyright.PENANAUqfZW6PaYY
"I sure hope so," I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAwmuX5N7SuG
said. I turned to look at Christine and Daniel. "Let's all hit the 984Please respect copyright.PENANABxQxr8Afde
showers real quick and then we can leave this place."984Please respect copyright.PENANA4Pk9PaLPNB
"What about those two?" 984Please respect copyright.PENANAiDJaswN706
Daniel asked with his thumb pointing at Zoey and Mike behind him who 984Please respect copyright.PENANA0gyX8ejv0X
were still debating. It looked it would turn into an argument anytime 984Please respect copyright.PENANAK0MEKOTEeD
soon.984Please respect copyright.PENANAbkTooXaInh
"They will notice when 984Please respect copyright.PENANA58XlbbuGxN
we're gone," I said. "If the others ask where we are, tell them we've 984Please respect copyright.PENANAxVk2kFbc5d
gone to freshen up, will you, Jinwoo?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAkzfr5HYFNm
"Sure," he said with a smile.984Please respect copyright.PENANAhyHFUbq6Bj
Christine, Daniel and I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAmmlIlYiMlf
went over to get our gyms bags and we walked out of the studio without 984Please respect copyright.PENANADK817uDik6
the others even noticing, except for Jinwoo of course.984Please respect copyright.PENANAf6sBrp5uoO
Twenty minutes later, I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAggv4g9ww6R
was walking out of the girl's shower room all freshened and dressed up 984Please respect copyright.PENANANL22Ck9Yu1
in a white t-shirt with blue polkadots and matching black jeans with 984Please respect copyright.PENANA7oqAH5EiNs
flat black boots. I was carrying my gym bag and was walking alongside 984Please respect copyright.PENANAqbpzDtmjIx
Christine who wore a pretty apple green summer dress. We had left Zoey 984Please respect copyright.PENANAlMECOIB6Ly
in the shower room, still patching herself up.984Please respect copyright.PENANAgSJ7eREPJY
"Well, you look pretty today in that dress," I said as I looked at Christine.984Please respect copyright.PENANAA07esLs1RZ
"Oh, thanks," said Christine as she smiled. "I just thought of wearing it."984Please respect copyright.PENANA6dlkk4Zpvt
"Why? Anything special?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAsSVjWKWDyt
"No, why do you ask?" Christine looked at me with an eyebrow raised.984Please respect copyright.PENANA2K7E5oPLFv
"Oh, nothing," I stared 984Please respect copyright.PENANA5ExHnes52T
up at the ceiling as we were soon approaching the men's shower room. "I 984Please respect copyright.PENANArYwhryh89k
thought since that dress is so pretty and nice, you must have worn it 984Please respect copyright.PENANATE2pSGjjby
either for a special occasion or for a special someone."984Please respect copyright.PENANAbWpAEOdyxc
We stopped right at the open entrance of the men's shower room and Christine looked at me.984Please respect copyright.PENANARsmOgeCpH7
"There is no special occasion," said Christine.984Please respect copyright.PENANAJyOUW9pY6k
"Then it's for a special someone, right?" I looked her directly in the eye and I had a playful smile on my face.984Please respect copyright.PENANAa644DNvmJ4
"It's not that either." She rolled her eyes.984Please respect copyright.PENANABDlJcIA7ul
"Your eyes say it all, Christine. And I know it's one of the guys from WINNER."984Please respect copyright.PENANAwVdKf8TMpC
"What are you talking about?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAV2PTM0UrrE
"You like Jinwoo, don't you?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAr9nF2EuLBS
Christine's mouth fell 984Please respect copyright.PENANAaLy4OZ8Vmk
open and she closed it immediately. I could see that she was blushing 984Please respect copyright.PENANA6g4KaFDiVQ
and she managed to look away thinking that I wouldn't notice.984Please respect copyright.PENANAoWDdqeKghd
"No, I don't," she said.984Please respect copyright.PENANAg82zhE0zfr
"Jinwoo is a nice guy but that doesn't mean I 'like like' him. Maybe I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAh3OAQIUokD
do like him but only as a fan girl."984Please respect copyright.PENANAEk2GNUfuXW
"Please, I saw the way 984Please respect copyright.PENANAzIkoJmVRs0
you looked at him yesterday and today. There is no doubt in my mind that984Please respect copyright.PENANAi8prZVlB1U
you really like him. If you ask me, you two would make a great couple."984Please respect copyright.PENANA8gpUU7UnQU
"Stop dreaming, Sam," 984Please respect copyright.PENANAPvsRzJ7VgM
said Christine. "Don't forget Collins' golden rule. We can't date any of984Please respect copyright.PENANA6fDXXkVRJy
these guys. And besides, I only like Jinwoo as a friend and nothing 984Please respect copyright.PENANAFsrzfKQjrp
more."984Please respect copyright.PENANA3R3uIXbQeu
"Ya, right," I said as I984Please respect copyright.PENANAVWwuUnAizI
folded my arms. "I saw the way you looked at the both of us when we 984Please respect copyright.PENANAuAXJzykIpw
were discussing on how we were going to sneak out of here. You had that 984Please respect copyright.PENANALyHN0Xz9g8
weird look on your face."984Please respect copyright.PENANAWmIvAUujXV
"What weird look?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAghe7zbMZtj
"The jealous one."984Please respect copyright.PENANAIxd8nMoBxk
"Spare me the drama, Sam."984Please respect copyright.PENANAAiBeIkkWvP
"If Zoey was the one 984Please respect copyright.PENANAWTyGv0ZqlG
talking to you about this right now, you wouldn't have the chance to 984Please respect copyright.PENANAZOlyeX0Jsx
breathe. At least I'm not even pushing you to admit that you like 984Please respect copyright.PENANAQqiBfuDfzO
Jinwoo."984Please respect copyright.PENANAbiCTEQSvO6
"You do have a point," said Christine as she nodded her head and stared at the ceiling.984Please respect copyright.PENANA15ahGCERVG
"Which one? The part for Zoey or the fact that you like Jinwoo?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAXfmxstc2De
"Very smart, Sam." She frowned at me. "But I'm not falling for that one."984Please respect copyright.PENANAafv1qHOjfb
I winced. She caught me. Now I wouldn't know if she really liked him or not.984Please respect copyright.PENANAEseIGLHWdZ
The boys suddenly appeared coming out of the men's shower all dressed up and ready to go.984Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ0pSuPmGS
"Well, someone looks nice today," said Daniel as he looked at Christine.984Please respect copyright.PENANA1MlC6y4kdW
"Oh, thanks, Daniel," said Christine as she smiled.984Please respect copyright.PENANAgDaWccQa4E
"See, even Daniel has noticed that you're glowing," I said as I smiled at Christine.984Please respect copyright.PENANAoAYHgK2pcW
"She is," said Mike, as he looked at Christine. "Anything special going on?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAsIxkJG02eD
"No!" Christine answered quickly and shaking her head.984Please respect copyright.PENANAOlDP5Ti8O4
Mike gave Christine a 984Please respect copyright.PENANAz70H3Y0ORw
look and shrugged his shoulders afterwards, brushing it off. But I knew 984Please respect copyright.PENANA2BaNKDqWBQ
that look very well. He had a hunch that something was up. And he wasn't984Please respect copyright.PENANA6IsGxN0LEr
wrong about that.984Please respect copyright.PENANAVAJDrdUjWt
We decided to go back to984Please respect copyright.PENANA1k8k6NSIFS
the dance studio where WINNER were waiting for us, hoping that Zoey 984Please respect copyright.PENANAbqUFVEnaCE
would catch up with us sooner or later. And when we got into the studio,984Please respect copyright.PENANAMfoXkRv88a
this happened:984Please respect copyright.PENANAFfoQCotgHh
"Wow, you two ladies are looking fine," said Mino, his eyes fixed on Christine and I.984Please respect copyright.PENANAlOkkIjxLKh
"Just magnificent," said Seungyoon.984Please respect copyright.PENANAq52EP0Nll5
"Thanks," Christine and I replied at the same time.984Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cwc4udLVf
"You're all just smoking hot," said Seunghoon. His eyes then fully rested on me. "Especially you, Sam."984Please respect copyright.PENANAiDHuCwlLAH
I wanted to frown at him984Please respect copyright.PENANAw9dyAJ5vZ5
but I ended up blushing instead. He smiled at me and winked. At that 984Please respect copyright.PENANAV3dPVk1PIM
moment, I felt like my heart was about to explode.984Please respect copyright.PENANAgAiarOoEv9
"I think Christine also looks really nice," said Jinwoo with a smile.984Please respect copyright.PENANAgzrGeB3jQv
I looked at Jinwoo and I984Please respect copyright.PENANAHp0hXbuxyr
couldn't help but notice that smile on his face. I accidentally smiled 984Please respect copyright.PENANAYszuoSWTIE
at him and then at Christine. Mike who stood beside her looked at me 984Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ27dPRDq9
with an eyebrow raised. I quickly looked away.984Please respect copyright.PENANAROntvFuUHo
"Thanks," said Christine, as she blushed.984Please respect copyright.PENANAcnEqRX6O4r
"Where is Zoey?" Seungyoon asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANA6u2RJDSoD6
"Making herself look like a barbie doll," said Daniel.984Please respect copyright.PENANAVpzH4yCov5
"Ya, that's how I would put it," I said with a smirk. "And she's taking forever. She should be here by now."984Please respect copyright.PENANAz2B3SS8rSn
"Want to go and check up on her?" Mino asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAy2quyZQ0BC
"Good idea. Let's go."984Please respect copyright.PENANAAJovL2UYp1
"You're going with Mino?" Seunghoon asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAI0rfYKH9bJ
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked as I dropped my gym bag to the floor and folded my arms.984Please respect copyright.PENANAAXD76wUSPe
Before he could say 984Please respect copyright.PENANA0p9LgBlafe
anything, I quickly turned around and started to walk out of the room. I984Please respect copyright.PENANAxEZ3VucpDr
heard footsteps behind me and I could tell it was Mino. When we stepped984Please respect copyright.PENANAUNAh2SbY0d
out of the room, he was snickering.984Please respect copyright.PENANApDgcxIqe6e
"You really put him in his place, didn't you?" Mino asked as we walked down the hall.984Please respect copyright.PENANABog7Q7zNBw
"Just because I'm his 984Please respect copyright.PENANANdJcLZtdrB
bias doesn't mean he could follow me around," I said. "I mean, him being984Please respect copyright.PENANAWax0hrlB0B
in my closet last night was more than enough, don't you think?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAV7GwCa8njl
"Ya, trying to hide in your closet was a pretty big surprise."984Please respect copyright.PENANAtgNM7kg3Pv
"And you all helped him with it. How did you manage to get on our floor and trip the hotel lights anyway?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAkmlsLpESMb
"Actually, it was only 984Please respect copyright.PENANAwVNjBnoeDk
just your floor that we tripped the lights on. And if it came to coming 984Please respect copyright.PENANACZCiCetjn4
to your floor, we pulled a few strings."984Please respect copyright.PENANAKOaSu3W9In
"How can I forget. You're WINNER." I rolled my eyes.984Please respect copyright.PENANAKHe3aFoCoH
Mino laughed and I heard him mutter, "cute." I pretended I never heard that and raised the corner of my lips to a smile.984Please respect copyright.PENANAGyWa8LX2W8
When we got to the 984Please respect copyright.PENANAlXa1i4Iafm
elevator, I was just about to push the elevator button when the doors 984Please respect copyright.PENANACE0PR3x9ya
suddenly flew open. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing right 984Please respect copyright.PENANA5Mk3PMxUcx
inside the elevator.984Please respect copyright.PENANAz1fzwMusK0
"You look really surprised to see me," said TOP, as he stepped out.984Please respect copyright.PENANA5i5YXw48LL
"I....." I cleared my throat. "I haven't seen you in a while now."984Please respect copyright.PENANANHvXNzGqSe
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he gave me that bad boy smile of his and stepped closer, giving me a hug.984Please respect copyright.PENANAcZarkAopK2
"I did actually. I thought you might be busy with something these past days," I said as we broke away from each other.984Please respect copyright.PENANAjDRd8WG78T
"I was. And I see G-Dragon wasn't lying about what happened yesterday."984Please respect copyright.PENANAEw2qMH6SUB
TOP turned to look at Mino who gave him a salute. TOP smiled as his eyes flew back to me.984Please respect copyright.PENANAQDJWw7pHcQ
"You know you're going get in so much trouble, right?" TOP asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAGMNROCuOxZ
"We know," I said. "I managed to try and convince Collins for us to come here. We will be sneaking out very soon."984Please respect copyright.PENANA8kEKCkmdLy
"Sneaking out together? Don't you think that's too risky. No one should even know that you've already met."984Please respect copyright.PENANAz3dwkzVlaG
"We came up with something," said Mino. "Don't you worry."984Please respect copyright.PENANAhFpZEFVlnW
"Well, if you're 984Please respect copyright.PENANAcMFh9aCpE1
planning to sneak out, then you better do it fast." TOP had a smirk on 984Please respect copyright.PENANA2gJy2Mc55Q
his face and I could tell something was up.984Please respect copyright.PENANAH2IzEXF69k
"Wait a minute," I stopped TOP before he could say anything else. "Your manager is here, isn't he?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAtqobSVZ5nm
"Did you just read my mind?" TOP asked. "I like that."984Please respect copyright.PENANAMmXRzqXWwm
"No, I read your body language." I put my palm over my forehead. "This is bad. Where is he?"984Please respect copyright.PENANA8wsfpsra6U
"He's downstairs with some visitors," said TOP. "He plans on showing them around the place."984Please respect copyright.PENANATQwr6IuHuR
"And if he sees us together he is going to freak out," said Mino.984Please respect copyright.PENANAsP7zpYbMlY
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked TOP. "It's a Sunday."984Please respect copyright.PENANAW5GA9mRBVO
"I came to see you guys 984Please respect copyright.PENANA53rHh37Ss5
at the hotel and Lee told me you were here practising," TOP answered. 984Please respect copyright.PENANAGzWV6VkW7A
"Which you aren't doing at the moment."984Please respect copyright.PENANABBY2AkQGzI
"We were done minutes ago. Right now, we have to figure out how we are going to dodge your dear manager."984Please respect copyright.PENANA3TVxRQ5sqd
"Ya, while you figure that out, they will be coming up any moment now."984Please respect copyright.PENANANwGxDiQnCA
"Okay, then you go and 984Please respect copyright.PENANAFIzPSgGhPP
tell the others not to leave," I instructed him. "I'll go down with Mino984Please respect copyright.PENANA9bkB73nkzW
to get Zoey as fast as we could."984Please respect copyright.PENANANTLJUuiYfO
"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.984Please respect copyright.PENANA8OMgTf3hv2
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Mino and he and I both went in the elevator.984Please respect copyright.PENANAErIfaptufc
We headed downstairs to 984Please respect copyright.PENANAfOTVol5AtN
the shower room and just as we stepped out of the elevator, there was 984Please respect copyright.PENANAbbHfRQ5dCI
Zoey in the hall, taking selfies with her phone.984Please respect copyright.PENANAqxyfro4YAw
"There you are," I said as we walked up to her. "What took you so long?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAWApvuT6sdB
"Trying to look good," 984Please respect copyright.PENANAhkbJOBg8xw
said Zoey as she put her phone away in her gym bag. "Besides, I had to 984Please respect copyright.PENANAdYv8v60HKs
take a few photos for my fans. They complain they haven't seen me in a 984Please respect copyright.PENANA23VvhNDD6O
while. What are you two doing here? I was just about to come up."984Please respect copyright.PENANAgwF8qJvXlK
"Well, the worst is happening," said Mino.984Please respect copyright.PENANAq19kM0oa1F
"Don't tell me Collins is here," said Zoey with a horrified look on her face.984Please respect copyright.PENANAaaRLz8Ggk5
"That's even a better guess," I said. "It's Yang Hyun-suk."984Please respect copyright.PENANA3DfXbk66h5
"You're kidding, right?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAj0ZADPo3rG
"No," said Mino. "TOP just told us he's here and he's not alone."984Please respect copyright.PENANAwNNNVEgIgG
"This isn't good," said Zoey. "What are we going to do?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAy0TidDSFkB
"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."984Please respect copyright.PENANAov9UnJrT7i
Just as I turned around 984Please respect copyright.PENANA1BCkUtaibi
to head back to the elevator, I saw the elevator monitor show that 984Please respect copyright.PENANAa6n0jmfSxB
someone or some people were coming up the elevator and had stopped on 984Please respect copyright.PENANAei9Q4bW5rb
the the floor we were on.984Please respect copyright.PENANAdOKzFCbpmA
"Quick, let's go the other way," I said, quickly turning around and rushing down the hall before the elevator doors could open.984Please respect copyright.PENANAyTyG1Lpnae
Just as we turned round a984Please respect copyright.PENANA0893Mfv6P9
corner, near the women's shower room was a door. I quickly opened it. 984Please respect copyright.PENANAHcQ3sYFqqC
It was a janitor's closet. I let the other two go in before I did. I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAIj490QBpZ8
heard voices coming down the hall from the elevator and I silently 984Please respect copyright.PENANA86kS1qgOrq
closed the door. The room was soon covered in darkness.984Please respect copyright.PENANAzCrdrZjR1S
"What are we doing in here?" Zoey asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAyoQmLXnkml
"Ssh, keep your voice down," I whispered.984Please respect copyright.PENANATEQo1gf3a5
"Fine," she whispered. "What are we doing in here?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAF65cjKFvNY
"What do you think we're doing? Hiding from Yang Hyun-suk."984Please respect copyright.PENANAZH1ovM541G
"Are you sure it's him coming out of that elevator?"984Please respect copyright.PENANA2mRDuwyuqN
I didn't say anything as984Please respect copyright.PENANAsfoS5kQgag
we all listened quietly and heard voices and footsteps coming down the 984Please respect copyright.PENANASI81OUnd2Q
hall. The people bypassed the door and I could clearly hear Yang 984Please respect copyright.PENANASbodmkQQIk
Hyun-suk's voice.984Please respect copyright.PENANAP4IyZFdXl2
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.984Please respect copyright.PENANA6esgIjTq9x
We heard the footsteps and voices start to fade as they went further down the hall.984Please respect copyright.PENANAIpb2ttdOV4
"What are we going to do now?" Mino whispered.984Please respect copyright.PENANAhIvf102f1r
"And it's so dark in here," whispered Zoey.984Please respect copyright.PENANARCGEHdpZtc
I checked around with my984Please respect copyright.PENANAo5UXo1mMyW
hand on the wall for a switch. And when I found it, I flipped it and 984Please respect copyright.PENANAynGDUDg68m
the light went on in the tiny room.984Please respect copyright.PENANAh0Zxc5y3jK
"Have they left?" Zoey asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANANbm7eprvwa
I put my ear to the door and listened. I could still hear the faint murmuring of voices down the hall.984Please respect copyright.PENANAh8b8kXUaWr
I shook my head. "They are still there."984Please respect copyright.PENANAdKiFctUiEY
Mino and Zoey both 984Please respect copyright.PENANAYUbTAw8QrO
muttered in frustration. They were so impatient to get out of this tiny 984Please respect copyright.PENANApSt82YYG0P
closet which was soon starting to get a bit uncomfortable. One thing I 984Please respect copyright.PENANA90cipJQCHB
don't like is closed spaces, not that I was claustrophobic. Right now, 984Please respect copyright.PENANAY9pkEA7WwR
we were so squeezed I was afraid I was going to drop in the bucket 984Please respect copyright.PENANAasjozcXTNB
behind me.984Please respect copyright.PENANAZcqalEglKQ
I leaned on the door to hear if they were still in the hall. I couldn't hear anything.984Please respect copyright.PENANAIvkte6HusG
"I think they are gone," I whispered.984Please respect copyright.PENANAtbTwsM9bw5
"Try and check," Mino whispered.984Please respect copyright.PENANAsGXj5R2sAL
I took hold of the door 984Please respect copyright.PENANAKWIMQuO6Ij
knob and slowly turned it. When it opened, I slowly and carefully swung 984Please respect copyright.PENANACO490kShAs
the door open so that it wouldn't make any noise. I poked my head out of984Please respect copyright.PENANAapSkeU9hRC
the room and looked left and right. The hall was clear.984Please respect copyright.PENANAITRHKABG5u
"Come on," I said to the others as I swung the door wide open.984Please respect copyright.PENANACgikYk24er
I stepped out of the janitor's room and Mino and Zoey followed. I slowly closed the door.984Please respect copyright.PENANAKaFbg8Nu31
"It looks like they went towards the men's shower room," said Mino as he looked down the hall.984Please respect copyright.PENANAfUbXAGG2Zs
"That gives us enough time to use the elevator and head upstairs," I said.984Please respect copyright.PENANAo12f5GGNFD
The three of us were 984Please respect copyright.PENANAcBzBERLib5
quickly running down the hall towards the elevator when Zoey's phone 984Please respect copyright.PENANA8WHqi63ukR
rang in her gym bag. And as if by coincidence, Yang Hyun-suk's voice was984Please respect copyright.PENANA8CTkgfgbvD
heard down the hall. They were coming back our way and had probably 984Please respect copyright.PENANAoVGrH5J9b0
heard the phone ring.984Please respect copyright.PENANATL72gLjMYc
"What are we going to do?" Zoey asked as she panicked looking for her phone in her bag.984Please respect copyright.PENANAUhFqJgqbnE
I quickly took the bag 984Please respect copyright.PENANAB5gLHIUfZm
strap from her shoulder and said, "he's heard us now, you two go back 984Please respect copyright.PENANAGTu2H9C9cx
upstairs and get the others out while I distract him for a while. And 984Please respect copyright.PENANAUeK5n3zLrO
you should figure a way to get out of the building before he notices 984Please respect copyright.PENANAc7h5YxiS0F
anything strange."984Please respect copyright.PENANAQJLOmZYaNs
"You want us to leave you here?" Mino asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANALPeLyfTS5G
"Just go, I'll buy you time. And don't use the elevator when you come down, take the stairs."984Please respect copyright.PENANA63NNcf1Edl
Mino and Zoey quickly 984Please respect copyright.PENANAfHCS8uLL6j
ran for the elevator and got in just in time before Yang Hyun-suk 984Please respect copyright.PENANAwzT2rf1Go2
appeared round the corner with other people behind him. Two men and a 984Please respect copyright.PENANA59ruRDLqN9
lady. Zoey's phone was still ringing in her bag and I was looking for 984Please respect copyright.PENANAsshzdg4nUD
it. When I finally retrieved it, I quickly looked at the caller ID. It 984Please respect copyright.PENANAfu9fwaPzzQ
was Christine. I cut the line immediately.984Please respect copyright.PENANAcTyNVSAMh7
"I was wondering who was down here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he with his visitors approached me. "Nice to see you, Sam."984Please respect copyright.PENANAEqAxHRRt5b
I quickly bowed to Yang Hyun-suk and to the visitors.984Please respect copyright.PENANA78yK8V4dzJ
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."984Please respect copyright.PENANA0hDbnk2iCR
I gave them a little 984Please respect copyright.PENANA2pojtKK25j
smile while the other two men happily agreed. Yang Hyun-suk soon 984Please respect copyright.PENANAOCAuGA1AER
introduced them to me as the Chinese Internationals who had come to see 984Please respect copyright.PENANAjRVHfASo1V
the place.984Please respect copyright.PENANATW7k8EXbqV
"I see that you're done practising," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Where are the others?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAyC0P0DO3yw
"Yes, they are waiting for me downstairs," I replied.984Please respect copyright.PENANAgoldseNQdr
"I must say, I watched 984Please respect copyright.PENANALdWSFHmAD7
your stunning performance you did with BigBang at the Arts Centre a few 984Please respect copyright.PENANAzAQetD5S2m
days ago," said the slim looking Chinese man, who wore glasses and a 984Please respect copyright.PENANAuMV96nLRcw
black suit.984Please respect copyright.PENANAcPH3lJVk0V
"Gomawoyo (고마워요) (Thank you)," I said as I bowed my head.984Please respect copyright.PENANAGlfKn1yY6X
"You really do have good manners," said other man.984Please respect copyright.PENANAMdl5b5pQZw
"Yang Hyun-suk wasn't joking when he said that you're fast learner," said the lady giving me a smile.984Please respect copyright.PENANAidztAl1g4P
"I always do my best," I said politely.984Please respect copyright.PENANAj26GLtPIwg
"I would really have liked it if you and your grou could perform for us," said the man in glasses.984Please respect copyright.PENANAN4dG7aoo0I
I felt my eyes were 984Please respect copyright.PENANAytGBAk7qWB
about to fall out of their sockets but I tried my best not to act 984Please respect copyright.PENANAoHyZslO8JQ
surprised. All this just got a whole lot worse. What was I going to do 984Please respect copyright.PENANAqnsEIPrBpe
now? I couldn't call the others to head back to the dance studio. I bet 984Please respect copyright.PENANAq6sbSmFj1Y
as I'm thinking right now, they are probably heading down the stairs.984Please respect copyright.PENANAL0Qtgcazm4
"That will be great," I said with enthusiasm. "I'll just call the others to head back to the......"984Please respect copyright.PENANAEYOqu2neDX
Yang Hyun-suk stopped me984Please respect copyright.PENANAxGWBam2Iux
before I could say anything more. "No, I bet you guys are tired. 984Please respect copyright.PENANAaTvkL1nGfU
Collins told me you were going back to the old routine, are you not?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAo3wqCM3LGH
I didn't know where this was going but I was feeling relieved at the moment. "Yes," I replied as I nodded my head.984Please respect copyright.PENANAQCoQ7rDWwJ
"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."984Please respect copyright.PENANAwK3BToPaEk
Phew! That was close. He has no idea how he just saved my life from his very own wrath. I was eternally grateful.984Please respect copyright.PENANArp5MwFwGAC
"Yes, maybe next time," said the man in glasses.984Please respect copyright.PENANA71t7GLvlRB
"Well, if you will excuse us, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have places to be."984Please respect copyright.PENANAKjK9U3u4Ap
I smiled as I bowed my 984Please respect copyright.PENANAp1Uo8Y8erd
head and I made way for the manager and his visitors to pass to head to 984Please respect copyright.PENANAmRJE37p3FV
the elevator. I was so relieved after they got in and the doors closed 984Please respect copyright.PENANABJPnlP09yF
shut before them. I held my beating heart. I hadn't realised how scared I984Please respect copyright.PENANAf9xSY3JARD
was until now.984Please respect copyright.PENANACiNRS8dNzs
I quickly ran to the 984Please respect copyright.PENANAHOOm7TGZP6
other end of the hall by passing the girl's shower room, turning a 984Please respect copyright.PENANAc5CR6UzIOk
corner and heading to the flight of stairs right after the men's shower 984Please respect copyright.PENANAQIxQIwu7jP
room. Just as I was about to descend the stairs, I heard voices and 984Please respect copyright.PENANAZy5l7IPMZH
footsteps above me. I looked up and I saw the people I was expecting to 984Please respect copyright.PENANA1eTqkdqkYo
see.984Please respect copyright.PENANAXPPqK9wgWA
"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.984Please respect copyright.PENANAGpOx3rUvM9
"I wasn't being a chased by a lion, you know?" I said as I broke away from him. "I'm fine."984Please respect copyright.PENANAAusFX7wj0z
"I told you she can handle herself with your manager," said Zoey as she came down the downstairs with the rest.984Please respect copyright.PENANAWyXltaTOba
"I had no doubt about that in my mind," said Seunghoon.984Please respect copyright.PENANAKdhsoK3j2Q
"Then why did you hug me?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.984Please respect copyright.PENANA9FVYRMQswr
"Because I missed you."984Please respect copyright.PENANAQyx7PP1lAC
I rolled my eyes and said nothing.984Please respect copyright.PENANAuj8ZpA8GYX
"Well, we all better get going or else you might just meet them again," said TOP.984Please respect copyright.PENANAt4qY6YO3ZF
We all started to rush down the stairs, as if we were being chased by Yang Hyun-suk himself.984Please respect copyright.PENANANLH2LNSYjy
When we reached the 984Please respect copyright.PENANAWnrjt14Ues
bottom of the stairs, we were faced with a new problem. We all couldn't 984Please respect copyright.PENANA3KFczzbPij
walk out through the main door because the receptionist was in the 984Please respect copyright.PENANA9cIa4Q6uYj
lobby.984Please respect copyright.PENANALOz5OlLSuM
I was leaning on the wall of the entry way and taking a peak at the receptionist who was working on the computer.984Please respect copyright.PENANAzWjgjsTnTd
"I think I've an idea," I984Please respect copyright.PENANACYusG1HJ3D
said as I turned to the others waiting in the hall. "One group is going984Please respect copyright.PENANADc3usVjABK
to head out through the main entrance and the other will take the 984Please respect copyright.PENANAPMpMyez65c
emergency exit door right down at the end of the hall."984Please respect copyright.PENANAl0gSBa3oKE
"How do you know there is an emergency exit door back there?" Mino asked as he pointed down the hall.984Please respect copyright.PENANA44YUy1ILO5
I rolled my eyes. I 984Please respect copyright.PENANA6JAE3x7DDj
couldn't start explaining that I once used that door to sneak out myself984Please respect copyright.PENANAkCafTUEQJ9
due to some serious circumstances. When I mean that, I mean the 984Please respect copyright.PENANAmLloPkENyQ
situation that happened with Zoey and the diamond smuggler.984Please respect copyright.PENANALQ1KdnU5sy
"Because I'm smart 984Please respect copyright.PENANAdzl6sIT2rm
enough to know that there is one," I answered. "Don't all buildings such984Please respect copyright.PENANA5QPI8HLlw5
as this one supposed to have an emergency exit?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAQla45eMLtR
Mino and TOP smiled at 984Please respect copyright.PENANAxt0dwOu6iB
me, that I couldn't tell if they were impressed that I was smart enough 984Please respect copyright.PENANABnUfPnSygr
to guess or that I already knew about the door. I brushed that thought 984Please respect copyright.PENANANe0VHDxWjC
away and tried to focus on the mission of getting out of here.984Please respect copyright.PENANA60iqwOiFvD
"We will take the back door," said Seungyoon. "Sam and the others will take the front."984Please respect copyright.PENANArYwtluXOng
"Why do we get the back door?" Mino asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAdhPpos0vkZ
"If we don't take the 984Please respect copyright.PENANACq2OPFQcP2
front and Yang Hyun-suk asks the receptionist if we left, it's going to 984Please respect copyright.PENANAvI3AEaXl4q
raise suspicion," I said. "He knows The Toxins are here and not WINNER."984Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dia9rPIzw
"Well, you do make a good point," said Seunghoon.984Please respect copyright.PENANAwlvwlvK68u
"She always does," said Christine and Daniel at the same time.984Please respect copyright.PENANAk9xGuQHG4V
"You guys go right now 984Please respect copyright.PENANAigCGO80Pow
and then we will come soon afterwards and meet you outside the gate," I 984Please respect copyright.PENANA4gtIPexdwZ
said. "TOP, you're coming with me and the Toxins."984Please respect copyright.PENANAksmaFVRZ3y
"May I know why?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.984Please respect copyright.PENANAlw0Epc4oec
"Because I need you around."984Please respect copyright.PENANANVhFCC9xVf
He smiled and I turned away before he could say anything more.984Please respect copyright.PENANAiGqDdv0yIK
Seungyoon and his group 984Please respect copyright.PENANA2nlNZ3LipG
started their way down the hall and went out through the exit door. I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAemg7I5IWTu
checked Zoey's phone which I still had in my hand and decided to wait 984Please respect copyright.PENANAMzDPjMEOZC
for ten minutes.984Please respect copyright.PENANAI9rgXIOCVN
"How long do we have to stay here?" Mike asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAibAKwlFw4y
"A good ten minutes," I said as I checked the time on the phone again.984Please respect copyright.PENANAobOQ8NYs8R
"These ten minutes will feel like forever," said Zoey with an annoying look on her face.984Please respect copyright.PENANAXjT80PajZG
"That is why patience pays," said Christine.984Please respect copyright.PENANAI6O8tjXFWS
"So if you guys are 984Please respect copyright.PENANAABsrc0fXmV
going to hang out with WINNER, how are you going to do that without 984Please respect copyright.PENANAEVjjP1uKvA
drawing attention to yourselves?" TOP asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANA4QpXOJzbC0
"Why do you ask?" I asked.984Please respect copyright.PENANAhZRkbChNXV
"You guys can't just 984Please respect copyright.PENANAXtxae2WlwZ
walk around the streets and expect no one to notice that WINNER and The 984Please respect copyright.PENANAeR0EPWDeJF
Toxins are hanging out. Your fans will take pictures and that way, our 984Please respect copyright.PENANApNDzSoIro5
managers will find out what's going on."984Please respect copyright.PENANAgSohIVPFuT
I smiled and checked the time again. It was close to five minutes. I looked up at TOP.984Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Ix91DW97
"I'm not going to hide to the whole world that we are hanging out with WINNER," I answered.984Please respect copyright.PENANA8nrJLwzcOm
"Huh?" TOP and the rest of my team turned to look at me with confused looks on their faces.984Please respect copyright.PENANAR4NxekYSM4
"What the heck do you mean?" Mike asked. "We're going to get into so much trouble."984Please respect copyright.PENANAFyGHv9omsN
"I know," I looked at the time. "Let's go. And act natural."984Please respect copyright.PENANA6zz1MbTUUs
"Wait...Sam," TOP called out to me, but I had already turned around the corner, walking into the lobby.984Please respect copyright.PENANAbY870u74bD
The others quickly 984Please respect copyright.PENANAexqqHODdZM
followed behind me and their way of acting natural was so surreal, as 984Please respect copyright.PENANAz8Qaw3K0Uw
they entered the lobby laughing as if someone had just cracked a joke. 984Please respect copyright.PENANAkVFIHXEIyu
That caught the receptionist's attention that I had to look behind me 984Please respect copyright.PENANAU55AqsW5Cn
worried that they might have hit their heads.984Please respect copyright.PENANAv0xy5vD6YS
"Are you all okay?" I asked as I stopped and looked at them.984Please respect copyright.PENANAF5yfDGOU9O
"Of course we are," said Zoey a little too loud, it was annoying. "Mike just cracked a funny joke."984Please respect copyright.PENANATVIFWmulHu
"I cracked a funny joke?" Mike whispered, looking pretty confused.984Please respect copyright.PENANAzWYn10AKa5
"Zoey doesn't even consider you funny," said Daniel as he smiled.984Please respect copyright.PENANAhzQfJfAFrd
"Now that's funny," said Christine as she also smiled.984Please respect copyright.PENANATDaOJ3Gx1e
"Not to me," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Can we just go?"984Please respect copyright.PENANAI9StyfrpoI
As soon as I turned 984Please respect copyright.PENANAlN1Z6Pf4II
around to continue heading out the main doors, the elevator doors to the984Please respect copyright.PENANAecBVjV9la8
the side of the lobby soon flew open and for a moment, I paused as I 984Please respect copyright.PENANAwXoRRmnD48
thought it was Yang Hyun-suk with his Chinese visitors. Even the others 984Please respect copyright.PENANAjq0DGkxV9o
behind me paused ready for the worst.984Please respect copyright.PENANA8Raeaod6Ec
When the people in the elevator stepped out, the world before me stood still and I felt like dropping to the floor.984Please respect copyright.PENANA6H7k4XsCRZ
My brother Mike who stood beside me had his mouth wide open and said, "OMG, it's them."984Please respect copyright.PENANAxecB0mDSh3
"Well, this day just got984Please respect copyright.PENANAWa2Q4f5bTt
a whole lot worse," said TOP and he didn't sound too enthusiastic about984Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7dt5YxzDd
it. I couldn't blame him for that.984Please respect copyright.PENANACPnASgSzg8
Coming out of the 984Please respect copyright.PENANACaN7DEIiH9
elevator was none other than YG's own female k-pop group, Black Pink. 984Please respect copyright.PENANAzGBI9UagH7
And when they saw us standing there like statues, they also stopped on 984Please respect copyright.PENANAzW7rnhLIxT
their tracks and they were also as surprised as we were.984Please respect copyright.PENANABpt4UjmGuc
I felt like I had stood 984Please respect copyright.PENANAK32uu3vDS9
still forever that my feet hurt. Zoey who stood on my other side, nudged984Please respect copyright.PENANAKyGAGmFixH
me on the shoulder to get my attention.984Please respect copyright.PENANAx16PfxENHm
"Sam? Is it me or did our day just get a whole lot complicated?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Black Pink.984Please respect copyright.PENANAMHCVcYCWQ1
I gulped and nodded my head. "Yep," I replied.984Please respect copyright.PENANAjjkd74GfaV
