Hanging out at Times 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xw6mE1Sm8
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaKASlRHAq
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh2cdv5Esd
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0PtTfxmPW
But that didn't matter. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQg75G2EoP
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2UYvbVn7c
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1o7BHUuEl
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj1uew7P7A
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ438AKY3PBQ
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s7s2JCSB0
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij5TPpaCFX
actually played around with the adorable kids.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9UyWjHT9Y
There were plenty of 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIfVZZN6Fk
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujuTbvZsPM
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMqtKNYOku
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs11ucIApS
fans too.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1ZCc5GiFj
The time we were done 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwASjJyGRcu
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjCJ8TGG9f
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF44n6YtnyR
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutS2585lMo
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOmmKxlHfW
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b2hnsRjRr
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUUIitfpDm
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpyce6vviJ
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmqGXI3Hex
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiZqRoT4Gc
previous day, of course.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiJgdcTVBA
As much as the managers 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7MFbSLjG2
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMunkJvNe2c
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qtdtsdxkd
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaREeU017P
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaabr2taEzt
Right now, this very 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEioVfH4xoX
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGbRJL6lwX
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pdFVDqFrd
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0hOK4uu0F
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6TyRmKoP0
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66Yl5fiQA1
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I4xPTfdpV
and I just couldn't take it.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw24KRBeWkv
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQeaACTraT
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75CDepfIPC
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ELHWYeZoC
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX6CFJYk3m
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6JELAeuNe
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphsrb4k4Vk
"I thought you said your plan would work."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZI8b2lwad
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7XPXyUzvT
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmvT0WVhZm
I felt like slapping my 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7yHa5cdpL
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y1uPG1gXA
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pMf0jz2f6
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p2S9uV4Uu
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07BnUsqy1t
off.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZbKXpqxAh
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSnHt1LVbU
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Svbcv1TQ
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA5QDsqb4x
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc6f0Uj4wK
I shrugged. She read my 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVijVC2rxn
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgCjZUIao1
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycBCJaaiqy
me the whole time."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ1mrgE1NZ
I sat down on my bed as 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHoTosKrFv
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny30VE7AfT
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfV3TweZiy
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtwkOAKHd5
"Gosh, you really should872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tkfe7RnR2
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJmylt6O7w
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36ALOty2mG
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH2Igd4CMW
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W1aOIySIZ
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbjP5vwAvh
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdzrryydpr
"Mike is annoying 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiAjl20zNm
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhTYyaEGzH
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4efLrswM8y
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfwdTdRt9f
"You're right. I should burn him instead."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXYGoBSUrx
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWCCbajZUP
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYkbePQzqS
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix3Ifd45tR
"Sorry, but just so you 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtMRiJ7ayf
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6twdJk0ntZ
that pic of you and him together."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnwljg8Xn3
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgdsph7FMw
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxLz2DEGtd
I blushed and at the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ioDcsXUv
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mbOH44wh2
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdxP49lykS
other hidden agenda.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgCBv0HQbq
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu85Vxqo9Bi
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9QOhyoEsk
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEVdXEhx0w
I sighed in surrender. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdmoIsHnFL
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptjlSLCVrn
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW81deGBqBz
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeU5PjgmWT
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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYljZEp1w6z
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmCnUBcXtm
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FGyXANKyv
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6smNhTesfR
Zoey had an excited look872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxBPWB2N55
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dsqLn230B
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPzFNLtz2k
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0RIrr3aU8
clearly show all over her face.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS19ssUBeB
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmlQeW0ZgD
I shook my head. "And?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1XDJJDvTY
Zoey folded her arms, 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyrWK2KznC
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxEpx8Av8H
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaMIrXvOya
"Hold that thought. This872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLuAZkWiUr
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetkcbouL4m
after Seunghoon posted that picture."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjqOQBgTX6
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WwbasgTvV
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzJiNGZSUo
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKwjqEE5WK
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7ib4XcsdF
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVJoIrPpji
"Well, he hid in our closet."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUi2uz1ReI
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9nf2FmMsJ
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx7j7aU9Zr
"Ya, why?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vXGxEN5G5
"Looks like we just 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvckpGJxXN
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLASTPEqEbC
whom we consider perfect as our bias."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuolJ8mFwM
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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcJJorIka7
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygyQrqnC6s
"What do you mean? You 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YlYRVpUEw
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV0E2zhoAz
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19sBKLbguh
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaexatUp4hM
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wLZUe4IC7
"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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpwtJH6PxL
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKD52RS7Yr
"I wanted to but I kept 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QXzsoeLOM
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8gnNt83XK
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHgBG5O8QA
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhPluQ0aIJ
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5E8vXRVF2
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQZPvNnf9R
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrNNWijvGy
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vN5lJ9SOe
I quickly stood up and 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9VdCigvHs
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4mAbtwR17
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EDBQLAZxI
her back.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04TKEwb7A
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOktuQAjlj5
"Zoey, you're going to 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XvPQjpn2w
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHRrkCvr11
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvjaXk3X0y
own hair pink in the next ten years."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzu06xsflS
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGGsd6uldU
"You're lying."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs0PIgADmW
"I'm telling the truth!"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplSIamaS4s
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVE3eHdMJ3
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKla6XNgFQ
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HZhi6xsoS
"I can't tell you that."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiGx2CPeaW
"Why?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5no83zzZoT
"Because it's 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboToW8nTPA
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfED790Qudl
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmcdZa0dLG
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ8R21Z4Mc
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8jJIprS5N
"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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmVsDg8oqv
"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.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubhVZ8icW4
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18bS42a8y4
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6b2zlDBIh
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWWSk4MdYC
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAfbnlA7Ah
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHns76rnJK
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3q0GntlVl
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntLQLTdBpi
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWF5YXbDsE
I playfully rolled my 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfnw9YSP4a
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dNpIvU2Wf
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVybrxCXOey
also looked worried.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyXAZ0vejR
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cgaAeoNc9
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAaNBPSXsk
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb41SSvrs4T
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTEZZ8LITX
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePeSdN49gK
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAsEJt1C7w
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mo2E7Baw5
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX4wPymrI1
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwIKhe9Ia0
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U6gbqRCZb
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxt8sYBGcL
"Okay, first of all," 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBildLAZoy
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlSMtTDnkY
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZNpXnu4Eu
he wasn't mad at you."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVYTRKG5bi
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAwqc01Q9G
"That, he couldn't say."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QJzhFx5S2
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIBQr56DxK
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6McIu17D2
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWzP3L7mxb
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzkQQMFR4k
Christine pressed the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPG8ZsHWki
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEZz0PD5vL
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDu9Tec2tk
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1liXQ04tQ
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIODclsSGN
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlIQfHLYey
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfeOG5Rmwp
We got to YG right on 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FNXhHllPf
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyamcPlIglT
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96O9VRxGZ2
arrived a few seconds earlier.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZOfbsD4Zf
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6MwM1ABHB
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXstrxX2kEW
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL63uuFJ51j
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLCAh74MHi
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB6IsCGIWF
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mZHldj7tH
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFFwP4TGzP
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EMaShGvOE
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJMQsfBHvx
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0aw7VT6g1
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s0UEXEK1k
"There will be no such 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24WDrwCDmC
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lQGkXiR9m
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDhHo0vGNf
"And you're making it 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zyERgu4oX
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuSwmvpGou
pouted his lip and scratched his head.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSMXDuWYzC
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURyujnShDT
"Trust me, you don't 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyqQ7OASs1
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNcKN4jsNx
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWz82gwB2G
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBQywl5mZ9
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2pIZOfN2N
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7rTO0MycR
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwsSIA13dH
"Look, whether they are 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGykqV9ANY
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp8YUcOaE3
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX7l06rjUM
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EBNvwUtsv
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoiTuvSA58
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc4PEZksfs
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGLF19iTrw
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW7X72OZ9N
I gave Lee a sad smile 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gu4nPn3PR
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWVkf7dTaq
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYnA3ebDmn
your life. Like suicide.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VoYN7JBkW
We started our way 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFjSRa8qC3
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig2wijyibN
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi47GVzHUjt
and my jean trousers. Nothing.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhiPEfgyNS
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxnmDxQPCM
I quickly ran out of the872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUBBfOkeuq
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfjk8MgTx5
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVur2qNa4oa
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJyJ0zOfO7
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr6pTaKadd
check for it inside.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOIK2ZOGz6
When I got to the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoDFPU2qVI
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTKztvL2Qi
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqqmF9cFAV
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuoQCoV76B
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0K7f1hfQq
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMDVXbn21J
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUJV7eIGYJ
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm5UCh2k7P
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ3sHLENkU
"Seriously, I can sue 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFxtGneQZu
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKrzNuDZ5Y
fast. I never even heard him coming.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiHsIEQNZC
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIfgTcPIWq
"You're not my bodyguard872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3KmhWD1eC
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCe4db6ewQ
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSRYSUR6of
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZD3fzDuOb
I blushed. "You know about that?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeX939A6qI
"Everyone knows you have872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKCIx1Y90u
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNLPc8lquu
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uar0HdrKZ
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW774NC1EM9
"Looks like I did the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhgnPumZNw
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRArPIQlJ9
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU2XKCQ5EN
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX3APQ0ft0
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xja1kizvl
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVC0Xw540X
"And because you're a 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNRZVwTaHi
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStuulFJlUK
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IxuB9e9ei
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NWNcmJp88
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMapeMn2WZX
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjwidzMsZn
"Can you at least tell 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95wQCi30nl
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiWvswecnA
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeQCZ92TMl
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGrykMbuNf
"What dramatic effect?" 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLgTOYlcTs
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRXsyoHlo3
came closer. I took a warning step back.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07pJmC333S
"If you hadn't followed 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWND831XSJO
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmJlceV4vs
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJORzG915PP
room."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6BIvd5T64
"What surprise?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEDuS3wMym
The elevator stopped and872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9RFZbOYca
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9HhpZansk
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AHi4DWzDM
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWevcHqbkm
Seunghoon and I stepped out.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDwzPBZB0S
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zltWyoICJ
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEG5gJRcBI
"I already have a guess," I said.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK1RIY0Qmk
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXyM3vsHwT
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCytRF6vfvQ
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2gz8iTrcN
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tAPajiBUi
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqtRKm5DlE
When we reached the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOEeX5r7Aq
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWHyBxfg2o
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9PQ3i1nf4
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCvvT3RV6O
In the conference room 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCq3jJrMTD
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwAaEikRgl
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h5sCEMEP0
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj2MNNumhr
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiDSJ0YVFz
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG1AyTtRkV
though I did my best not to show it.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ajLSGYvcV
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51SndKUbuv
I looked to the opposite872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdMLp5xPAC
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfCixMcUrC
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1hb3Kaqub
turned their backs to us facing the wall.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTUHODBLna
"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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0X8boesAD
G-Dragon quickly turned 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0obFDqJnf3
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcE8eMozHV
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nfN3pQ8ra
"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?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJKIlmoTZX
"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.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK9lghXfKg
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3xhzHs8sG
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuYLM0oQYw
"Wait," said Lisa who 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzd63IplGT
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bDIRJtw08
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri2z4SVEVG
"It felt simple and 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeKpHkCVF3
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuSSiHZWir
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUKk3ro5J0
with G-Dragon today."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdk0YPRKbZ
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n47ujfCSM
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9v2hJGexR
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkaw0HdOvp
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYpAjwuPKP
"Ya, I know I'm a 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn54fYU4DL0
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4t1Rn9W29
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmPt8kDnx4
"If you mean us getting 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLm4B3FlbJ
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJpMdyJZOH
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBOqBbH4lz
by coincidence."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6JYjNsB4d
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWbY9hZMwj
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOjJeVIiwv
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqUZI4H6lF
The rest of the BTW crew872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDujzJLTN0
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvyBz69bep
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OaGxjnSGy
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ooVtNngv4
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzon67916cG
"Hold up," said Zoey who872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEM6Xeu8Il
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx8MBB7xDy
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL32ZjeEMET
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlZSfSfoFp
"Told you we'll 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVqbhyVmow
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFCB9XHRu8
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmqoFkIwe2
"But is he going to do 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp8ECBKLZS
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKiQhr61g0
didn't really meet by coincidence."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmclPsu4VpD
There was silence in the872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilDfvw0DFa
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0KNW9Gnyk
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocBCdK3EcL
planning to do.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq1FlrsPpa
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3XimFid0c
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSQtUClBFi
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYJ6A2R0pT
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR3jf5X8H0
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj94GVz7ho5
"And also because he's 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrVdPU4T6D
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9akHcg5sWL
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhcfdIosl6
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ixZPmOYpk
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYDMOUlkBQ
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VMo0CtBmM
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHf0yuxA6M
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuLWQlqws7
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2hRPbfAGp
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtdNafJwAn
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksFL8y45vz
G-Dragon smiled. He had 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkhTcCo26t
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnm0b95YfW
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6irLME7plc
deal with G-Dragon instead.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pd5mvaK9G
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd7cDUHbKL
"What do you want?" I asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3taVD5N3ub
G-Dragon looked at me as872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XMjP67uun
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn9ZXXuO6c
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzZeZzqrB6
came to any conclusions.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRVak7akvl
"To make things clear 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2z6Ee6kqw
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Cyr9aR0m
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNHyzr6nEc
thinking about doing the same thing."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFg0RJWujN
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfwQYdbZ8J
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto8OEMi1bt
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0arHDBk8Z
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7MORXLkfK
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnh8tRx1KN
"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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtMLvYiBW7
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkTrKcwd9F
"All's fair in love and 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wjkgmYeqB
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fJZQ3iOuy
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSIWXXLPUz
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDTW4CDmbG
"Come on," Christine 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8ul2gpipw
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyXuBD49zC
won't be here for long and you know it."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28c3iFCKHw
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZW7HV9QVg
"BTW is nothing but a 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrat00ekTGf
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWcsywQOsQ
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqleigifiF
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUrfBAVB1j
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlODonb4zGQ
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZJACTfME2
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYBSSP7Z9l
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UX0BBXNZB
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv3fDeLWAT
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkke1Rnaaij
"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.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2CYnyTz3O
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaJpfenJ9G
Upon saying that, the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdB5E6DHDc
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGYdVaOaYs
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBvrk0Mc2c
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnQrHALgGR
seated stood up.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXUuxqIJxH
I gulped. I hope the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYjU7m3Aof
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxiLZYemr6
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXeaH1RYTS
The two managers had 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzaJkZLJbn
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CYDz78CrQ
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR27nae0vi
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0JKsmHSi0
is wrong.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd6DmIwVGj
"Good that you're all 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifKWxt0MrB
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4vpVIRTjD
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG7YFpe9qP
I have always hated it 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EBROHmzkf
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRwO7V0wvs
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXHK74FRo0
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwnQMjedsa
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMeVjDAHyK
their seats.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ0qsJZnbx
The two managers and Lee872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAOHFon6KZ
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPGiie0MSO
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzA7hygAlE
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY16LmvPNN
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPyMrhRt57
was.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34oyOgnDPR
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6AYdTavLv
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTgZIefnY9
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD2YTtGXCX
Zoey sighed loudly in 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgbUB7WjdY
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrWn3ifho9
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjxk5CRZFx
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwfKa8bEtq
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUkVM5qYZi
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpN7MIaD24
The two managers 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeaK0zNmmI
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ50nENDRRg
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghdVuGtYW6
That was so not cool.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO1G5GuALP
"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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o8pqjuxqH
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBggU3mVFu
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeHD98UcHa
My ears perked up when 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6BnfaMEdQ
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66fswu6V73
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv2YgEk45L
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0ASziYW1e
"We heard you outside 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyf5IAcAI0
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplnu1NDQnc
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWOhkiW1Fm
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9fcvb2fUr
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ592uP5wMcw
"Yes, Sam. For real," 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzy2DHK65V
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDSYGQmn5w
through further scrutiny about this decision."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCShGWIKtL5
I smiled. Even if they 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl5ul31kOy
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG3AUlK0TB
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDziHIqqZ2
There was an exciting 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiL1RAdfZq
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacUSBNrSYY
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28SDWCMuSY
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqVhyYzhR8
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGOKgBQViX
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PrUAFI3fv
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3od061QWE
I turned to my other 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JgZPreRZz
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lRsh3coAl
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ56pbhFfcO
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI6BRUa1bS
now, didn't matter.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPFLpo62vn
"You heard them when 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAOtJ6KV6D
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOtiCQ9QWb
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1KHNg8EBU
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdNgDUv5ii
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxtCUKYx3K
"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.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SmaRjiNIu
This time it was me, or I872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYhAxkUQEq
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvpaJmJUY1
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISovcDaSSG
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETYT5bVC0m
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IXpq2e0Ft
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZKoVsw76O
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Tz4W9qgV
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF3ioEl2Hk
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtOiEsHf8P
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCyVoEj3Tx
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomB8UUqSIn
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuOwr9n3LV
"We all agree," said Daniel.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluCYwzluBH
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr2CDhfpED
"But just because it 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zyFhcNS1E
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkv1Ors6Ba
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrZBl0raPJ
"Okay, so that's settled872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyGjrqiGhP
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgULEOrvNwh
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7h3boBopt
BTW official."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2R0XR6wZo
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9bQUjCl1O
I noticed that most of 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtwcnOwboM
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBawGGaglQF
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHf7Di9XsS
when she looked at me and I grinned.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pGoYm8HLB
"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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdlisD4yi0
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ZFFlMl8b
"Before we make BTW 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtWnaq6WGZ
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tNlwtI2YQ
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARf1StAHHX
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxuY5i0Iqq
low for a while. Is that good?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNhKpGfYmq
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRdegd44FB
"That's fair enough," 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdpU1EDHmE
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3c81XFRTV
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmamKbhxOLs
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uSZmENf0A
so."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vxZWaLmvP
"So you want to crush 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1NqXCGUcy
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLLIR6IFa6
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVWHy6p20M
strategy."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgggINUlRrM
"Then if all is well and872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RDOMW3GAx
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMDOv01oVb
updated and not a word on social media."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPBGOwcJ38
I stood up from my seat 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QafuPylke
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByuVtyBoZN
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkCelWnArX
walk out, I stopped them.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNL0fyGlFx
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOre515FZQz
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTbj6ckqex
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39FUN5yfa1
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EoBdplx1S
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO03xJMBt5h
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmjMGhLuWD
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimeJjSh26S
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FvarcvVBd
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysaLJegtG9
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD8mjMbREe
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLnYNRPgyy
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zx9D0YTLc
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhe8a4mycu
"This is like the best 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINYUBVuzby
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB7QEKatn0
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPmv7hKgVF
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuTTpFIErI
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVjMGGtvTm
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZybTwgEZQh
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOISRKCU0Qo
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ891FNNqPot
"I knew there was a 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWo8MCiqtz
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYuKhH5I2h
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbeyeEcDnC
G-Dragon.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYyV9l0iL5
"You knew?" Christine asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyQrJjL1Ra
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgmTdWgl5b
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasQQ7C2eqG
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtREMmfZ2an
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5BpITSIaz
"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.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddE8DqAhVE
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvduyWu6XR3
"Well, you guys can tell872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7to7wzinU
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKCuvyM3kS
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTWMoLBN87
aren't going to go into the same car."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4WocSblMO
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6PHZYksyi
Everyone else started to872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiwICgjnwL
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATtToT4VPO
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6vZrAoK6n
only G-Dragon and I.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE6dxazeXS
"I'm mad at you," I started.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JfggrIkRZ
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hCMnTJfSL
"Save it." I held my 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76IpPCdCJ9
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvOlYxRtQh
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqq5vtp10f
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NXICVbB8r
a war again."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrtSiUrjnw
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh63FE2WrtM
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuyAfJXhjQ
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGPwvlmC3W
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGATdA1DAU
G-Dragon looked at me 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPInA63i6q
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66OFf4FybS
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaezkF4NEQ
stab in the heart.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD9OM0qC7S
"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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxMItUc4pf
"You know, the others 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4MfgAfQ1C
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf4R7KzIQy
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzotBI5OC5
with WINNER yesterday."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGZ1DaaeKE
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3LorYofjX
I nodded my head. What I872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBb9kTHSPg
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPhKrmOOrf
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cdamKPR4m
of Seunghoon and I.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C2tHlOUcG
"You know you and I can 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4vAUaMEFC
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBev3azl70m
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY1Q31f7cd
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjNBTtzDr6
down the rocks."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsYHDwWGzK
I headed for the door 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4StwjBQd4
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz9MtSTD3J
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCjPBphvnz
Zoey, waiting.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDrRHMfUbE
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gva19RFjE
"I sure hope so," I said872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8EtSzSu9V
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJobZKvLEW
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4InvBaxI4
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvl5XgcKYP
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QYEwIojPl
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk38efWiJG
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzwHQYSS2w
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3MlY9egQR
"You know computers are 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxhqgcWRAC
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqdEKkKwMO
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6dndKVW5P
supposed to."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyar0DkNnp
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S8ISmbuty
I smiled. "You always call me that."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR04uqFKtb
"Ya, because you're smart too."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxqyPWuwXE
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAaashd5E7
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjtQTbljya
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pAHfrI46s
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHcUt63uGz
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ8OL1q3UB
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
