Hanging out at Times 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQXTCuBgHi
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jeJwmz2Jt
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7zWbE9BrX
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ9iJZvOyc
But that didn't matter. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzho9xcorG
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7cvfpib9V
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI2a9Se6RH
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ351Rift2YS
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlQTqA2Uaf
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWk6eV3pc0
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtnOaYWU8c
actually played around with the adorable kids.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HinaE8ouN
There were plenty of 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Yarj2NbW
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAI9q0V6Fm
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZayxCQOIcS
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrZJLI70QU
fans too.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qXfg1q3cd
The time we were done 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kcjcTSsKl
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfbL0m4LLp
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXiQ2ptBov
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7DqPmSbYQ
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapvrfOKeTX
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgijIbis48C
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue6UAS46cQ
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDDxsQovt3
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEBH0fcpjM
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hi4Qsvw8n
previous day, of course.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBAHNGxFp6
As much as the managers 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo1SH7ZQGJ
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe8j11aLa6
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrqgs7RGux
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDkSms1RbG
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuWQFN8YBO
Right now, this very 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakWQQIPJRZ
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgADd0L3BcF
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCVSPXQTuz
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsR3CEZBe1
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhv7KbB3MT
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdivEcWQjYM
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaabXSlXqVr
and I just couldn't take it.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYnBe8a2Cc
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAAgMac6YY
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfXhtmU726
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW4odT6QoX
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5v3QEsTFf
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVzxmhmGKV
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTORMEY4J8
"I thought you said your plan would work."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbM4Svyh9a
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5peHYiykeA
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1qfiY8KIr
I felt like slapping my 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7twQ68LA7t
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsYoicALnA
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF19vFzE7C
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvelEwTqkII
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjjOzALKV4
off.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCqVsyS14r
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1neSGMXbOl
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Q3fQNE9W
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYgtzMwtM1
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIj6h5XQwi
I shrugged. She read my 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltUEEZtaoe
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiTSx9FQae
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSnZU7oGSL
me the whole time."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8PmIyzPlh
I sat down on my bed as 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe3BfeOhc5
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFuT6WbNEx
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBydYcXzEt9
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF600cSiMy
"Gosh, you really should841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFPTa8YwNs
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3So2mK14w2
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZF4n70IGC
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOrbHg6dMf
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6oWGydKxl
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAkjXYaHve
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ulbx0bUTb
"Mike is annoying 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xT1wk4u5H
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC5yyCJjBg
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BXBoeFkz6
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj8dKt2JSZ
"You're right. I should burn him instead."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntA6x8D5cR
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHXEM8KtDV
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q3jAi5j4n
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVi9nVn85G
"Sorry, but just so you 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqBCEdML4q
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK69prFdDh
that pic of you and him together."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Xu9A2wgk
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8TfCQiT4o
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXQ7HkIbVQ
I blushed and at the 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFpOKijMvT
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR5MCLLmsR
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1lOz0NZLY
other hidden agenda.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgMTU1pwKt
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKsAbb30Si
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgpcFHol7i
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKoeyRH8bv
I sighed in surrender. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSZFa90uu3
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xM1q4q3Fm
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHIvsxisxu
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOUxC3g3CL
Zoey shook her head. "You really surprise me how much you aren't really a fan of social media when most of our peers are."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCG3XVG673
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNcZYHwsb0
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNayXNx3wkL
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRw0H203pi
Zoey had an excited look841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmWRlTvWHW
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTqxZQpMZB
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx59k2rJEOG
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgn1nEaQ5V
clearly show all over her face.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIYg6LzHa4
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXMhz1BW0s
I shook my head. "And?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ7GpwG4Gi
Zoey folded her arms, 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0CUSYOYgZ
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr6UbyjI1E
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfg7lfEAab
"Hold that thought. This841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQEIhfXGE0
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhpy0CKI3N
after Seunghoon posted that picture."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMGzuFsHIJ
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWU7u4plzJ
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1W3oWiPZY
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza9NmkFYRm
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreVMkXndwi
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdMdf10lrE
"Well, he hid in our closet."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstvOdU2wbA
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ylIoCsg0V
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPrPjZuKfG
"Ya, why?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMEzywPifu
"Looks like we just 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXvZOfbEoX
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bgNm8PFOp
whom we consider perfect as our bias."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijc6Td2BQi
Zoey thought for a moment over what I said as she looked at the floor and then back at me. "Mmmm, I guess you're right."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQlPl9oydS
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0D5o40sqS
"What do you mean? You 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ltV00ohuR
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTaw4sNwbO
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHJa6EUfbi
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrCYsEKwfZ
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmJiFrLnd4
"Not really. But I can say he was. Just a little. If he was a full time stalker, he would've been doing so everyday."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEakdV5oFCX
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9SQJdirl0
"I wanted to but I kept 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuTEOHcNyq
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGt3SXAvKT
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTkjhbIXQ6
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcvdCvxldX
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrw0FkQ45s
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIFLTtFbXD
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHcytBgaMS
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM3kj99Arr
I quickly stood up and 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVxjESRssU
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2AY50RTmX
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZRlV5Fp7p
her back.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohviJ9RcCH
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzSg8RHziY
"Zoey, you're going to 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBPPDQReV2
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Enmovu0w
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjYkfM8qOD
own hair pink in the next ten years."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jyJgSU4Ar
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCz37vEYVo
"You're lying."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdIBxkNSA3
"I'm telling the truth!"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAojnpftnHR
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUmw72vsto
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvf0taMEep
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL1XRLQxdl
"I can't tell you that."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbgbdtAdZ8
"Why?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwQx0DAU90
"Because it's 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9to4P1wIu
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzgSWOOILt
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVaCs0LFAa
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEBDbuXu3G
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxGXgTFapV
"Yes, I was," I said as I let go of Zoey's hair and Zoey blew out a sigh of relief. "Turns out, I'm not that good at it at all."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRwohtl4hW
"No, you aren't," said Zoey as she massaged her scalp from where I had pulled her hair and she looked at me with a frown.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DdMmIOJCQ
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfeEILz1cQ
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsceYg2XPo
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6t5JC2E1U
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOXxowmNU0
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BDMgZZ9su
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJk0nMi0Az
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAXNc19xoS
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTltAgBLc9G
I playfully rolled my 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPASIzPMbxf
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzZhSYzCcc
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKgceQ1cDs
also looked worried.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSUHyE82vA
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4Bs9Z4Kr6
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSt39gKbS0
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb51nqUIin
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76BYC8jUo3
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kQfYUOu1v
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9KpiCmCqa
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcKWJXiCAi
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtor4iaNJX8
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnFznNZcoG
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlNM9nKxTe
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9YOeNceE6
"Okay, first of all," 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvtvyzF09P
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7lmwNpDma
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHJiq9i3Q6
he wasn't mad at you."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmGzGGsN9k
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV7RXcI2aE
"That, he couldn't say."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr42yXH4BXM
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtSeNO12Vo
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwhQrVP0mt
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0da8ZW1Zc
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6n4ocVCiF
Christine pressed the 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEVXmVW6Kq
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0370TthHz
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqffCE2gNZ7
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRpic9XABq
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoBfGSZbs1
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L65zt3wdb
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4dCU5AiQA
We got to YG right on 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f1eAC0DBi
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH279PN4ip
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGugBfrGdOA
arrived a few seconds earlier.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKMsBMW1b8
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwLMrVIiN0
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vEAExohB0
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EjJ5rGpjY
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WQY7WvNXC
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAUCz168f0
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xCwLECWtP
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6U0CRzJ6W
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uJYZuQH4J
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaBzvVfsZj
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWVsY8mx0P
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj848npH6RN
"There will be no such 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4CxU1lFG7
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI3li4tYqI
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lS8DzK4R8
"And you're making it 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfQ1zwrzll
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhxO50R6Q3
pouted his lip and scratched his head.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLzY8dKDHf
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yni1mUcVp
"Trust me, you don't 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8kQR1LOlF
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSvEbTeeO3
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs5Xx83v4z
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bKpU6WIGE
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB785zQNDP5
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEiGFhi9Ie
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDq9Rw5ZtM
"Look, whether they are 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKGvwXjCQk
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dGOpXWkZB
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xhpya8BaZ
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3hFovyOkf
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBHnCsqSq6
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ChYJFF4Z
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRa4uxc0dp
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZoUMBwWvi
I gave Lee a sad smile 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVLL2u0aVY
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2bygBZ0Db
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREK2QDfTwy
your life. Like suicide.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pK1bx210j
We started our way 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY1IUku52n
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeI5OBtRUx
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5T0DW8S69
and my jean trousers. Nothing.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYYNIGHIX4
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsk9YqEMnu
I quickly ran out of the841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe0CgEBPi7
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0AKexY9hR
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5MFg5ULQG
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDgdJ9YIwG
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxiHpoIe1w
check for it inside.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAvWgvZdWl
When I got to the 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIZjBAdxzT
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesjI1X47z9
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquWI2MGFQ7
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgMvVU6Zr3
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl0SkFt7VQ
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV5kqEu9oA
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbTyYJbcnZ
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPwDxwFOec
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06IT8wsHcF
"Seriously, I can sue 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdjeAIOnmK
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrMoFy5F51
fast. I never even heard him coming.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PTYtWApSz
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2G3RevnhR
"You're not my bodyguard841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ8jFcuQv0
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg3orSGGVH
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8PEvX8zFA
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZVqMJL6VV
I blushed. "You know about that?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9gm0CsRdS
"Everyone knows you have841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyE0fehC7w
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QOrtSLj9D
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAk1sVXWOm
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN65yvVMPMj
"Looks like I did the 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kzRydwA3a
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpylftlgGL
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOGLCLKLJc
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1qmEhHZud
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoVqcfrVho
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoRLQiJEVM
"And because you're a 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbujIB0r9jY
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCPpG4xTQb
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZdInr0YID
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjolYz4EMys
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYtsCCk54c
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePiNkjWfHt
"Can you at least tell 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8rdakUBaO
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDovQkWlWC
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxmUbhSLsV
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvFkbCn6Th
"What dramatic effect?" 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsz3aGAUbn
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVPOwAzpvf
came closer. I took a warning step back.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuovjcCM228
"If you hadn't followed 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw8IQm01pb
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUtxAx5fyG
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVDfuQsxSs
room."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO8eYDdtj2
"What surprise?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6VGcKQ3C7
The elevator stopped and841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIK8gs7BAu
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzQlzf3mIz
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtfWWffleP
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurDPBx9WZ8
Seunghoon and I stepped out.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAv310Ooc5
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcIQoIvlkl
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2hdQzbbLF
"I already have a guess," I said.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3sTbLGfvG
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIj0bVmDT5
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3DUClJdrr
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xPXAn3CaW
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdLRbDFKnM
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53M8QFD59O
When we reached the 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr5QE2aqod
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4shWDJ3i7
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEZFzJTZlv
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gwn6Ifp6q
In the conference room 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBhJ35pbBe
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ2Q1qgcgW
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHU7OlFdCD
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs3l3TNzib
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3iAQIXy5o
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurS3OFLpVX
though I did my best not to show it.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG5Lz8uxSe
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFCysMffoh
I looked to the opposite841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupc08tYhQJ
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYoxAeEZ8z
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDP0rvHMwl
turned their backs to us facing the wall.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEMgJDzMxN
"You don't have to act all high and mighty, you know?" I said to the person facing the wall. "I know it's you, GD."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQuxVHTPQh
G-Dragon quickly turned 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHfEBIr5zx
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OZ1G5TKO9
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbrU26KMQB
"Hi, Sam," said G-Dragon as he leaned his elbows on the table and his hands under his chin. "How did you know it was me?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJblx4hZAA
"The message you sent me wasn't too hard to figure out that you would be here," I answered as I held up my phone.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyMW4I23Fc
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsC4L8H1nV
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhsq5EUn5n
"Wait," said Lisa who 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24xmfTO1rM
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Htr1yOJW
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uDndTbOxp
"It felt simple and 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzGTCL49rW
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWdbnipZz4
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsj8q4p2Gh
with G-Dragon today."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60WfLAxn4m
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb7j6Sew0W
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqciZpcsbTu
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvaWOgWRCN
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAdqdjKpew
"Ya, I know I'm a 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPOkYTHLbd
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UciSPtgFm
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbGGDWDSD6
"If you mean us getting 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHi2PZmB2g
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9ifSm4sQI
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxHvJGcbWj
by coincidence."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRakmAM3oa
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfRKHId2ff
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsngiUvlf9A
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimfBoKrPN4
The rest of the BTW crew841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW1v90bfid
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TCIRuhQe8
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sI3fHtBWx
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovIjUJ9LmZ
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5bhE0q8v5
"Hold up," said Zoey who841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46CRhmbfbF
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCnqIJeNAs
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCF8TxTHNf
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlv4aAfk5B
"Told you we'll 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3JI31YZ0Y
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1yDOHc9Pp
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHBcUZrQMC
"But is he going to do 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡualqlbILcx
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLWzBPPTTV
didn't really meet by coincidence."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G46dhFTkT
There was silence in the841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUBcisDiwN
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasH8RlD3xb
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3vHn90Lir
planning to do.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYnP2FXDfD
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePKTREGWeF
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1N4X7yBY6
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdatvovX07
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILw2YGlzqF
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1mRFVxEVh
"And also because he's 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ9eRKSkWN
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b9a49cOEP
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuZg4v3EV1
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gdznPKeAW
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iCdHnm3Yj
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgq6GNpnzD
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHnEG2RcU4
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmGc8W43sh
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5deINVEzXs
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7mqBIBf7d
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsFt2v0mG7
G-Dragon smiled. He had 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX1OuylyKI
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZWo3bZEtd
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EhQAZS1A2
deal with G-Dragon instead.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD67RKfMQK
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWd1p7TB8O
"What do you want?" I asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFGeS0ijVJ
G-Dragon looked at me as841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaPYVo4k3W
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YZ6N9Dx3j
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1vnwNfXKu
came to any conclusions.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqGW5EidZx
"To make things clear 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr0SNeocAV
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXPH76es9N
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikYtMpDmNs
thinking about doing the same thing."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6OHSIUBoQ
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvjYFIcmAp
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt11ScGIpWG
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFSFekzu3E
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSkRfwu2nR
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8AY0w1hmI
"That's the problem," said G-Dragon. "You guys aren't going to let it slide and this why I came here with a deal."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtsCUIXlAc
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyQIWkyqw4
"All's fair in love and 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXly9naWgc
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrGPb3EGTb
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuKVJF7fBS
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81BsQmYLAC
"Come on," Christine 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkyhrueuPM
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqPzjEuFEK
won't be here for long and you know it."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g5vuNyM4g
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UALGksT2O
"BTW is nothing but a 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHqQiv80uf
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mTTCmS8uF
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKyNwQSZj0
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IeoHC3DPd
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzaGm0M4JV
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27XgQofPno
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MKrZXA1Iy
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOFZuyTNBB
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH2h315T8z
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDppmdlvj4X
"See, there's a lots of things BTW can do though it might only be for a short while," I said as I smirked looking at G-Dragon.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevVW1uDIfi
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46d0QfMNPj
Upon saying that, the 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OLBP7t0f1
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8elMZs3LB
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTnalYqiEj
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuE0eYzrVY
seated stood up.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhTz0n5BZn
I gulped. I hope the 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLngn4TeiG
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSYKsn83xT
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2ctzaLLOD
The two managers had 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2zPAMG8Gv
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX1kwzhq4q
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ87AjuSZo
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe1M3cnh7q
is wrong.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiBO1DdM0w
"Good that you're all 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1UnNghreq
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgMIAuDPno
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrPiEUUJiO
I have always hated it 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh8c1snNnG
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHm7jlWDOe
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhanQltWD6x
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfR4xwJBxj
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmB2IEOGgT
their seats.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgF992laOF
The two managers and Lee841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1YUgyyz5P
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM3JCxMZn1
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCRA87xbO6
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWq27wKkFy
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShwq8jgoAk
was.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaCbBMyPvL
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtewDBreZHj
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbzotBdBr6
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJguZofgZMs
Zoey sighed loudly in 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeES8e7Ljr
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrcuYJu8VR
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWByH3CSesw
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2hqb4d6AB
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4jHhVwdbY
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgs4jHEB7V
The two managers 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlbQTKZFYV
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v2FwcmltK
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAkErWoHDv
That was so not cool.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAIUfDyzXV
"You never cease to amaze me, Zoey," said Yang Hyun-suk. "And you're right. This BTW thing was nothing but a one time thing."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU7aZbhHGN
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X9hNIrRFB
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy6ec9OegQ
My ears perked up when 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz9kCVPUks
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZOp4JVJe0
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZcl2EGWvm
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI3ypxFzAu
"We heard you outside 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vAaHy2jJb
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfg2hb8DX9
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP2twTv05e
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9s76QlZ0y
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbhHdDC97q
"Yes, Sam. For real," 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR9SHgdRpb
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yzgCAgGLw
through further scrutiny about this decision."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKecErVpzwI
I smiled. Even if they 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75hoURXvP0
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibazphEC8H
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13FjIEABKg
There was an exciting 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZsEafBRmN
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ2Yu6ur08
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfJXOi9z9X
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxAAmrO9cW
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGTuwernew
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF4CVIzcbZ
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMIgARUADm
I turned to my other 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXFlCJbVFM
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJYgfOScED
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvJlmGy004
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2jQEbosFJ
now, didn't matter.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JKQTtEzPo
"You heard them when 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmCZC4OR77
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVCMXBCUTW
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOELeNQ7Uwv
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CuIfUSFXG
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXnyrIWZkN
"And so even if we tried to object to it you would refuse us to do so because the decision came from you, right?" I asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWv5yTG7fE
This time it was me, or I841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjGHcuS6LP
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdeSFku9em
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu9bnnmCjH
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaubaRWq0D
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzoM3JisdX
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SzOdXrfDk
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF4qazpvVV
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5uVeIgHwE
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuWJzRFlSh
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6tbIOZpTd
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXkUAEPnPf
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQcYdEt9IR
"We all agree," said Daniel.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBRt2InZ1F
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb5TybEdRR
"But just because it 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7EWROZ2Zv
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs0F3QJL5u
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjgBFRAMSl
"Okay, so that's settled841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW2Nm1pLBf
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NF6lYg8zH
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xceq815vQ
BTW official."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHqXyYgTJq
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx1LdKqcPT
I noticed that most of 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDJ9y66LqW
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeD3Axkaog
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeL4cXmObp
when she looked at me and I grinned.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahPdMpqUtj
"Okay, then," said Yang Hyun-suk as he rubbed his hands. "Now that's been taken care of, you may go but, with one condition."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsk6JAb65p
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAroiHhay57
"Before we make BTW 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfhAWqgK1j
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi82IHyNSO
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc1YFMiI1F
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB3IRp6Kcg
low for a while. Is that good?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWQ9cBnhU9
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8pBNPQhZb
"That's fair enough," 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYKRQKkGFD
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1e2Y5ST08
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkgQ5Gmdq8
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO9AZofp87
so."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN7ktSNctu
"So you want to crush 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXRAxMCFpb
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2olB5pPIV4
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAGgI5rGMJ
strategy."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zojea14CX
"Then if all is well and841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRyfbeNsgx
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Iu4UTjLkr
updated and not a word on social media."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZtyrxFon7
I stood up from my seat 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRLqnRJCJo
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1lRXTBDo1
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqVeNl8xM3
walk out, I stopped them.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYr6Z98Kzz
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEQaT5lfXq
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NVdpWHLZD
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4w26DhqrX
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiPRswSzFz
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixQUxQl0HB
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d1f3ILLG4
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKyaDXRwRp
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelz3qFhgO4
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVD28FcZQo
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmATbzca3TB
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgtXB9vCc6
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq7dMVJ2vq
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW1uhdrM8S
"This is like the best 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjbJqX5jt6
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQyPoKGz9T
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRSl5rmlQa
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NNRtmWA83
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHyaIoWmLT
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaOVVTXpPw
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqure7NMZxK
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstbs4CV9Qt
"I knew there was a 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4WRyRk7HL
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX4imPBS4l
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HAyZ8vV5y
G-Dragon.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm3C5u91iz
"You knew?" Christine asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5O1ZhalLj
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk59j07YX8e
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1uh4y1o44
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTmtLsHgTb
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx0A6ZJx2O
"I'll just say, I'm mad at you, GD. But since you did us this huge favour, I forgive you," said Zoey as she smiled.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMNNJc43tq
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH92hGa32PW
"Well, you guys can tell841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeCouZkD3g
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaraEBVlkJE
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCojSQzsbu
aren't going to go into the same car."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA4nESe85f
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1L18cgKno
Everyone else started to841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN463f8qcGK
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoDvxiYmb0
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0Y05PDFxI
only G-Dragon and I.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlAP3LIx6T
"I'm mad at you," I started.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTPQ33kPAF
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MXX6n1Tdw
"Save it." I held my 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXp4OdhP8K
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfJoH8jRQR
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxMCppfVus
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ40C3deC4s
a war again."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dZQUTm5Cx
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDBrW7O7U4
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuebNSX5MbR
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJT7qtdOqh
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViDcLafW4d
G-Dragon looked at me 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrao6h6pgP
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbpHABYLDY
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjuV6VycUY
stab in the heart.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQucq6fwJ5
"You're right. I realise it now because I didn't get what I want. But I want us to forget that all this ever happened."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgMeEOfsNz
"You know, the others 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YZu2I7sFL
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzsEY3NqMN
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKemyfKNZ1u
with WINNER yesterday."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaQL65701y
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFJ2kMGIh5
I nodded my head. What I841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaGDeclQO0
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1bi91nDZJ
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv4X0VsSnO
of Seunghoon and I.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZzfivmUgN
"You know you and I can 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhiXsp9llr
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JmF3ejlMX
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL2Zvt3Va9
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kPqquN0pK
down the rocks."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0FOcv5Aad
I headed for the door 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjuCL55oFh
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9iITtA5Ze
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIQKE7OjGI
Zoey, waiting.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl3HCVeiXq
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVG67rMPtR
"I sure hope so," I said841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWedQBa8IH
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflCfKsrfkN
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpQx8ZTaIy
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrfWBATFAC
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Nv0bKecn
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUsw2vZIBl
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYPQbvFUCk
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdM6vMbbqg
"You know computers are 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DbI2RQNOJ
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLLpSOpKoT
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSQugKNiCP
supposed to."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB0bxcGG9g
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeweDU7KDy1
I smiled. "You always call me that."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW57nPSLRw
"Ya, because you're smart too."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSELhg1GxuO
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEcToeVQFs
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpp19zjpYA
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK0RecfTr9
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifRu7ZBDGK
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMsmWd2oe7
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
