Hanging out at Times 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcPQfDKaVl
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0RRT1mXNz
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY972eHyoAd
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymz4WnR2ih
But that didn't matter. 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6MIAVE4EU
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGclsuyk88u
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvN1VB245j
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwnplrfI20
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4LUsXjTiX
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7lu1eE0Ny
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC1FUyJdPq
actually played around with the adorable kids.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaSNfhGKVt
There were plenty of 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGprHRzw68f
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXEMb4awJS
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB3XrfOWzx
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMR7vuQ6OU
fans too.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt3hkl9ZPw
The time we were done 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ei6KLIa8e
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87ANCmbAbq
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNWXZoyNtJ
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGJv2Lx2Ke
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnECE4Upqg
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfldbf71xP
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB5VKQ1J82
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3SGDSlD3s
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE49GuoLcjH
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5KUlStKS2
previous day, of course.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzSiLowMEt
As much as the managers 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqpm4Ex1tY
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExs3QFjdx2
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ysdJ7IDOP
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PM1L6Tz8k
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0DaBrHP8x
Right now, this very 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg99thPJ9Rt
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcCNjhxrps
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf8xUZEEgD
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Ronz9Yl3
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KdmJN6Zif
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrtbRu8FCs
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pVXqbrKje
and I just couldn't take it.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb0nIeFLKq
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmb9Wj40tj
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfLnQhAzJi
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEbQjbpQyf
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMOH0lBLlr
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl6ikpreGb
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7b3eCurns
"I thought you said your plan would work."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4qflJNv2R
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ULQIZJf54
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimj2yakhic
I felt like slapping my 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxubw9ccmX
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeghWGzdN5
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKdLnQuzp1
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEhOrRZVth
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1gI5tjTP4
off.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8h0XtXdtY
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebCAQ5Vx5Q
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0PSflrAlJ
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkZtjLETRI
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGMXKmHJPV
I shrugged. She read my 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWBnYgOYKJ
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qWpSFjdE4
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuwbaMjh2j
me the whole time."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uNdZMZrkZ
I sat down on my bed as 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBLwIOZXor
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYieCoc7U1
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJEvybkR7D
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzvQsJSyXm
"Gosh, you really should921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIjWGVUH68
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58uGRx0Td8
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxcdzaQtnZ
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUWmKedaPu
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeJqNwV64Q
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykC6XYUdVj
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6FFvbfJSc
"Mike is annoying 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhMLyX624g
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yCgXZEF1q
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhol609YHSY
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eHYSNd46Z
"You're right. I should burn him instead."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbZT2ywOcx
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eEuM9KUZb
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBhwCvUW6d
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF3o3MVN1k
"Sorry, but just so you 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAFzlRWNlX
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIRPpAmI0W
that pic of you and him together."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzi3GKokJr
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkvyLaJSLw
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoITQ06Rede
I blushed and at the 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTKzTKebhb
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXQnvVnq6O
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzUPCCNZnk
other hidden agenda.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLSFLLqobh
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJrOVop6zv
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYSOhWtC0S
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul4HqON5eh
I sighed in surrender. 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC35xRPTXk
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpZneNOFzr
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNakmxbj9d
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDlWEn89FT
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."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ET7xeeZw1
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDQKfjrflA
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr6dKYQAuK
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fup0VOiFO
Zoey had an excited look921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaMOowgFoq
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXYPK8n9Vn
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N5nJQp1iP
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jkqW47Rre
clearly show all over her face.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfRuPXFpDT
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzumjq44xO
I shook my head. "And?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVbTuSpHsA
Zoey folded her arms, 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHv1YHAFU7
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJo3QCvTNE
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4icrRkNw5
"Hold that thought. This921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWSJS7ztAN
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlGsbRKKRJ
after Seunghoon posted that picture."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx4gTffbMz
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkRivHWNhF
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJQtnFHkd9
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzGIjxYBPs
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKQ0Pkc0dW
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vCXqoKinE
"Well, he hid in our closet."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNgoj1rpYA
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V1QfN97LG
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePRaGnHRrU
"Ya, why?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgXpFXFv43
"Looks like we just 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP86jB9HyZ
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWD2bKxAOS
whom we consider perfect as our bias."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5XK5O4kMR
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."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRt1xeKRaW
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMbaLdis8g
"What do you mean? You 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDNkDp42OD
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepFnCiNzlC
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8s38qlKkp
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbQxVxdmoc
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5upxssQIL
"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."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmcdUkQNxX
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU0NmcqILQ
"I wanted to but I kept 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMdGyp15wY
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkHN8t265q
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH8bxcA0Nn
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxDDpEQNxu
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt7Uw7vQi9
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL0hHUUdBO
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLLM3vPQiK
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FlBcXS7W1
I quickly stood up and 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jdXzhak4j
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKF9jIjTRE
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo9P18fdKe
her back.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDQPiUk7an
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyteHzniUI9
"Zoey, you're going to 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNfvbRfMeH
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGq0JetJZD
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREamMXji7b
own hair pink in the next ten years."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj8aSyunwI
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyTcHZoEbQ
"You're lying."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe7M71IuSK
"I'm telling the truth!"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80evS8xSrI
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE62TgGmfEa
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TRdVjKTs6
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIaZNbxpfP
"I can't tell you that."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG8f1EHnk2
"Why?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55LPkrOGvF
"Because it's 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdPQBAbGhJ
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGjmcHii0P
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Dsclb1C7U
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9oyH0HyCM
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDh4u5zv1M
"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."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0yk9i5uIK
"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.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEGLy3iens
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV9vcGtkCX
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhkx5xWsB5
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8uxooqoKg
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTInbA0npm
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfL1OZamGx
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdoAOPjehZ
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjxOJNiSKP
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0E0R5N5B2
I playfully rolled my 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYBt6KHTRw
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xPuyhgTZC
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBsizjzdgf
also looked worried.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRzrAIhb6q
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd26f1KAqvm
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRZjUEoCkI
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOWdoj1ZsL
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTzQkiSDq6
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8zwccWCF5
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOULW1eYqTw
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXgV3yUDZU
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr907zb3Sp
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezTN6tvSbq
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2F5NViHPF
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UalXWaJ87
"Okay, first of all," 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlR7ihMfE0
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNYq6eKFXr
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanxyjnYzy5
he wasn't mad at you."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejTUn9OpcN
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTucmyE2Qb1
"That, he couldn't say."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfci1gG8jUq
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTavdC6S7SV
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmVUQLNt44
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGvzrKCi4h
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB485n1P46W
Christine pressed the 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDhD68fAGp
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFnbENYrHi
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7L0vU3C10
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ZjGJc96H
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3LXTfYtQ4
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzDUgWLDgh
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zwm5LkP2K
We got to YG right on 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYFECxUHPP
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeJ4nNAByP
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzBKNwhKZQ
arrived a few seconds earlier.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas1qeuwVRN
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQvWq8YMGt
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCVf9oZlSL
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4LduZ7HWe
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZq8nsUMI6
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Jyx79GIe
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXkitT37TP
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfs7qDQkwV
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMZS7o3fEh
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU7xudpaCe
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbsfimhhdO
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTkXfMaRxB
"There will be no such 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OlqwfcAYp
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0na85GoPRg
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yu2VQAsMy
"And you're making it 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1r5McVKfz
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3XyOYCYAY
pouted his lip and scratched his head.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeboMnHZxr
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqttIVaN75s
"Trust me, you don't 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4vCSznEeJ
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c5tKEgtdD
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z5f1rThvJ
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyTTRAVbru
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyBkteMMmJ
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6kP67qK0G
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZM3vKznUs
"Look, whether they are 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoCpeDkAPw
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2F87n0fMx
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CFRsNd5Xa
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ236BENz7CH
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7g5IXMcpA
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD17ejw5l1
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggsnCC70bP
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZyy96vulj
I gave Lee a sad smile 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVC7jHuMMK
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWADq85kHAm
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrxBy6AGoR
your life. Like suicide.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ObpvHXRuP
We started our way 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkD24kaKub
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgsFpijEpQ
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHvFXBsng0
and my jean trousers. Nothing.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LyjqW1an4
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7O9oEpXxs
I quickly ran out of the921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBfvi0wg7K
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLcK7qCOyX
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZShT50fo7
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUfqwgYfGO
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnMbYol05c
check for it inside.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNV8hfpyIJ
When I got to the 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3cSajVEXM
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuixn1GZKU
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLMydpWEiV
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrmA0mBkQV
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeodhJLtys
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOp0FWNhOh
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVMbEU0j5p
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWg7dGDwgf
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6H9QSCSPU
"Seriously, I can sue 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdyrS1Oqdo
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vIBNKrR5P
fast. I never even heard him coming.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHtZnG9azN
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvamoAW5hFU
"You're not my bodyguard921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBmIcFy2x4
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqXOaJ7LsI
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKAZCx99aB
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kZpIGsQo7
I blushed. "You know about that?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAXod9nn6s
"Everyone knows you have921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOyQD0e1ZA
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjJq0nFyP1
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlGJFciHQT
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTWfWQudj0
"Looks like I did the 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtfyTru7N3
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt0HCYJY7g
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqst1fg7XVV
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHSPUWALJJ
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QQnJeRwqN
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxFGRded5R
"And because you're a 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBK7zyo5WN
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls5PyEQfXQ
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKncexX6Mhc
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsGc4DLoPn
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2rXYpZqTY
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUSAq46UWA
"Can you at least tell 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3fPTOwcJY
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYhEORUjj8
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzifkfxVvu
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf86g13ba3h
"What dramatic effect?" 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vq5w4EPzH
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa3jZV8Z8x
came closer. I took a warning step back.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMg6SR5XdA
"If you hadn't followed 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlazuW0t9b1
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUUpC8KFqa
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYyzRyFsIp
room."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j9Ji71iH9
"What surprise?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHiQN8f5MT
The elevator stopped and921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJMJl91uQr
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UUh4jPykV
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrwjHTAYQt
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJQ9qFR64W
Seunghoon and I stepped out.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8M9dmcwrB
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6P0f1t3dy
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuau0dDmlIu
"I already have a guess," I said.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbl1Gk3bYa
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx38td1GKC
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVC8ixvXyU
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgW4ZZmPaI
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxMnl5Jjge
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipP7JF4U4d
When we reached the 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaxSmz8ykG
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXOxsvKVDy
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPgjmyvCZq
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPEM6uwVGR
In the conference room 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzEdsCpq45
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13qRrOEXcb
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8uj4h4iRr
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqpWMUWZ45
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67KohcSuqI
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YZxEVxypG
though I did my best not to show it.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBmyiBCroM
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICf6P5VkZN
I looked to the opposite921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzMwgH1dVW
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5HQFinK5q
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg26hU5SrxE
turned their backs to us facing the wall.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnDAVtVFV0
"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."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDxeKMIZsV
G-Dragon quickly turned 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuObLwNmiV
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4ArkhXzr9
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yoZcv8gm1
"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?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ05exEi3lw
"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.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxGU1PcNeX
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh0h6tB14O
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiURU4u6Zm4
"Wait," said Lisa who 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nmOvP3AcI
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcHMNcDoMn
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5XopIBORS
"It felt simple and 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrdJPFwsej
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyc70dMgQ1
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3XecAvpvV
with G-Dragon today."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQspTvid3yt
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlONT8HMVU
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKrzrXyXI7
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzy8oqe5YF
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsflgHH2sQ9
"Ya, I know I'm a 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkFvRbHxjA
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf8MbowWfm
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmvsZSC3hr
"If you mean us getting 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBliGgFk40
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwvTMHYQQ7
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4OR7AjYyt
by coincidence."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdQ6eYdbJU
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyUdTQjMsP
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj7tnsy3fY
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3ufDLdTNf
The rest of the BTW crew921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSQDu7VKND
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEGGfiMgco
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lfKRJqoky
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLn7fou21Z
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QiZVT9hIV
"Hold up," said Zoey who921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ535NSkIh0O
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03GVuTnvUa
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjIt0OFbxA
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFICxhKJywD
"Told you we'll 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPfwla6cPN
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY33otq9VQD
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHHaUq8P3D
"But is he going to do 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwZx4LfAjH
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYNb6SeBxR
didn't really meet by coincidence."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dv4t6ZaLx
There was silence in the921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8HFXAhrnT
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9FQ2LZdeL
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fDbhVLdps
planning to do.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5vO6BSgdT
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN80fXXO6v
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBXhfu0QSB
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGeLvqPhh0
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQqP2ozlkC
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNZbGzp8jQ
"And also because he's 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7YtjMWJ5S
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH5ZlpPy3t
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd5dbOCqdy
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf8QTcYv9d
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoTuhyizN8
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna9T8OQAuX
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNvqgZ5ZsO
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgURq4w5WAF
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfy1v41HnE
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNZWRSOR0W
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0HNBbrwfm
G-Dragon smiled. He had 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI9DBsesYZ
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs6hwgofrC
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC78FYMq6l7
deal with G-Dragon instead.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmJ4DtFfBR
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfM1A4rmGM
"What do you want?" I asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkopETsvJZ4
G-Dragon looked at me as921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BQzpFxD8k
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSsvc3J0cj
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO5WNPHT3h
came to any conclusions.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqFvRSpJip
"To make things clear 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzgi8TXYkg
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJcPAH5xLH
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagR9dUOh0B
thinking about doing the same thing."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qPxSCdTpG
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMeDKy8Gww
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL6bHLz8D8
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfU1JueC6E
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojmiWbbLFx
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07dD5b04Fq
"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."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w5MUvtkz4
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTU1DrVeJn
"All's fair in love and 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnanIBxkta
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77rjlyY1Ve
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoxZlxhLwI
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG25X9pb1IO
"Come on," Christine 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTdKkiB0I4
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8KksqF2jP
won't be here for long and you know it."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5svyTfsi4z
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rhe4w7odY
"BTW is nothing but a 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhyGGWxnBx
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS71tDBHSDl
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r6e7Ll0NL
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMevwLhcAf
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocR2CHssN3
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy6rBHY6ZL
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEQBKkSvu0
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tNg1R2ass
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxRCkjGvs1
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorJRYlAY5r
"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.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OjRqGCaGG
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gpSF5Ugs0
Upon saying that, the 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTG4Tvc7mk
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7mgb4fcMf
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCBsOuA7Ew
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGGViKZqrR
seated stood up.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKOTRkAByN
I gulped. I hope the 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv6FSXn2Jc
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAHZ7xOAJs
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwMfWYPd5Q
The two managers had 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt4yz3pQsA
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbNHKxF3sU
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hwrvjeQlY
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYkfAwh4FH
is wrong.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqjbeMc1hz
"Good that you're all 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdHKNFtccA
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHEe8mbDdO
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3cjdxTPJ3
I have always hated it 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zJB1VKMRT
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlGEV7vUDo
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRhkVTnTz4
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sr2SR93of
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmkTVIdS9I
their seats.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wek9GJt8A
The two managers and Lee921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiirnnVfYv
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIgvi18Ryy
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW2NPlk5LX
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcEg6SzjKn
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhMTLvQawu
was.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2in5N1xvl
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8LIX5t2ss
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkc2nr7UCj
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dY1Qq4Pjl
Zoey sighed loudly in 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygA5c1YiQw
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDxc2WLUqB
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hDuxeKbuA
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBwSfMFj22
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05kcmZVyqs
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkkDgm9PXA
The two managers 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tzTuLf8Fu
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsVoklfadR
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QWzlNOjhS
That was so not cool.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtO3MaQSCQ
"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."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnv4oIL9qR
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHQIZnWbu8
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYbyzmylSc
My ears perked up when 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPw2OifVg9
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8ddNS0lk4
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaQGdj6Y21
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQBKtc1os0
"We heard you outside 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0gC3MMa50
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpURm3DVhfz
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2rgxF71Up
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vFrmOpZib
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbXBoHQ8sV
"Yes, Sam. For real," 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJQ5PQD10T
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOG9GrWlM3
through further scrutiny about this decision."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6voHaRq2b
I smiled. Even if they 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQfPFf62Gl
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vZdzie5kQ
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznZavVcTPD
There was an exciting 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60mBvFN2TL
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHzsuyuoLW
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zCaAYKxbV
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkV6edD671
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEeZdDm2sE
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNaVyKZrDQ
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI1stKQ7yG
I turned to my other 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1PCGgPWl1
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFYoy6Hi6i
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IAdOeqAii
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuCSeMebZV
now, didn't matter.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyoyejiajD
"You heard them when 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp1ldelEu1
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy4IN7VkQs
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rnsfEBVi8
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRK4jugRl0
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMJXaWASMY
"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.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNXp9UbFj1
This time it was me, or I921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a3vPB3ijL
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsBM6CSlt2
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARZ29clqWL
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvnsAgMOI9
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaA5VX0Nfd
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmdk1NazF7
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGhB5PNogX
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx2bpbnJ2f
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUPB9EJjC1
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ7jCudFcd
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uft4iucwU
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnS9rR7UDb
"We all agree," said Daniel.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmId0E4106
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh0SgWPIeb
"But just because it 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxwfyTlb92
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicz5Gq1aHs
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU41aqDAEF
"Okay, so that's settled921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNR6rMTEkp
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhrcHIS32P
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymfkyowE98
BTW official."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wuHANAuXT
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShh6RjfkPD
I noticed that most of 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI2RQgMEMt
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt4P7Ud9xL
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoDuyHJqBa
when she looked at me and I grinned.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExseLfnlBz
"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."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZODAbIds7
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aVelZOBgi
"Before we make BTW 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MfDgDBnyF
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YkCrE8rkM
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpefdrZCxZ
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppGt7DV47b
low for a while. Is that good?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1zdiQ0xgD
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzGooChlZ1
"That's fair enough," 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSDyfqJYiZ
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsCtBx8LRI
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAFJW6dQCY
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCyWYt8lpR
so."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5gZoNVDxe
"So you want to crush 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWkJyChCr4
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf6nFH0JdT
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0hUgjkee5
strategy."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpTqLA2bTh
"Then if all is well and921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Qc0GVREv
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq2FJV882E
updated and not a word on social media."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZNZ5MoYNs
I stood up from my seat 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkHXD4JfCB
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxH1ALNDch
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPD9AmmFnT
walk out, I stopped them.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwuZ7g45TM
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJef1KpAVX
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDFPU6AkPD
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhnMwjviar
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUrNyS6OmC
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwpmwolE8f
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4SKDVpK4L
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NY5faUPUE
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdY9faP7W6
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp50oL69pGW
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnXwq0nfCN
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAgiln6PaW
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULWWOq4P9H
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36aToK2eZM
"This is like the best 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqgdTOZEYz
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y3zzwE1JK
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULoGBy54J8
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDdDYUpg89
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIRP6uAahK
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD4vS8o6jK
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsd3rUynQm
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnltqxIaJ4t
"I knew there was a 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbKiHklcq3
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAKUOM3o1H
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDfKJ6A7XC
G-Dragon.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4618drRA2b
"You knew?" Christine asked.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkItzDZBKY
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwktKSnmsP
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI8UV2KiGC
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ0qOQK3Ed
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkRIqCfTdw
"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.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOUkk3T47m
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JuucZpYaC
"Well, you guys can tell921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZPhrzotnC
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8dUomFL8Z
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbWPXa81vI
aren't going to go into the same car."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB36asQT9x
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucWlIjxWpe
Everyone else started to921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerAVJaATUm
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbXU0QsLOG
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KE3beoHI7
only G-Dragon and I.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSRLQoJ5Kw
"I'm mad at you," I started.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV5xBtnZEU
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJanrWc4s6
"Save it." I held my 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsEYyL45Hk
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzVZWmTsew
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C4V5il6zE
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGti0rSVWuB
a war again."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o6sVDJpIh
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QoN8B0jM5
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pFHBdy6WY
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bpVg64F0C
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbReEwTooqH
G-Dragon looked at me 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1DNiGfSHm
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9Ro6SBkCB
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkTAazQFJv
stab in the heart.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF28Io3KHo
"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."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlsAqS28wR
"You know, the others 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ivo7Butht
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSfobBfwBE
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K9ocMucP4
with WINNER yesterday."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyKPaHKEek
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAl0JWvo9i
I nodded my head. What I921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgl4yM5zN1
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTK0kk8uNj
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzXXIQrapN
of Seunghoon and I.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7e9v6EonX
"You know you and I can 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cBVmBPfFS
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdEXUs5hYT
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7vmd7A560
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYHlRwR5Mp
down the rocks."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU9S34zHMd
I headed for the door 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgbgJvab2c
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGPxRJi8lZ
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecM2vPAQZL
Zoey, waiting.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MBVGOFTEu
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLlKEmR7AY
"I sure hope so," I said921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItJnLy5ZaW
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGfez51zcq
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemTcJhkazz
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoiglJUd8i
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKzWrFhECN
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bPHTfadWJ
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT25r36NeY
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgfVxeNncM
"You know computers are 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZTYA8f3NF
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrr0ztAy2A
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpBkp1SGT3
supposed to."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnJsU1jOgQ
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEjkCmnX1d
I smiled. "You always call me that."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFzeGW959G
"Ya, because you're smart too."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMjS9l0yrQ
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJnkt5Xajg
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d9Oa2dNX4
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlYNHU7pyh
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbddIDitvEw
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBBkeJyR5M
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
