Hanging out at Times 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k4yD36x0T
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmIRoN1Ofo
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDPw3XxQcz
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6bOKwzu6g
But that didn't matter. 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcMMlqHSsz
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCtoIyWCLB
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDSvKJkBt2
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYZykDU4Cr
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVp464jOQW
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTevF1Wf40n
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcDTPpeaWG
actually played around with the adorable kids.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznzK7dgqGc
There were plenty of 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rySdksHQl
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y65XwTHJX
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ615YHKyQGU
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC8lKrJ78I
fans too.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxbe8WvwlC
The time we were done 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16AbpZ7sd9
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch5pyHgluy
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TwPD0Skh2
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ398Dl2HQ5s
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn5UuHTqav
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YVywKHAD5
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM66H5SSPyY
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFpYgu0lTY
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHFgz5SzSS
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6U1agKaEM
previous day, of course.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2BfNfb75U
As much as the managers 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvdugC28tm
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2sW27ZYgT
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7uffhG7bq
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMcpGFFNNe
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnmqNpRmbC
Right now, this very 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B2Mq5ulep
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkvfbjHeaN
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSj9JIdGbp
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInAGGMhTXs
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0hSMKq5Zb
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWndol3NbBf
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPvz0OfIC4
and I just couldn't take it.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkskX4G8oC
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90RnqWgFmY
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nXt0E99kg
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZccQq6eS3W
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7xVnQodtv
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bp3pTvlTB
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Q3cByc4n
"I thought you said your plan would work."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfsIAmnAhT
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwh55tKwku
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VZ0Z3Xwvr
I felt like slapping my 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EUxq40eWJ
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa23OkWNYGD
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28jNZlEFaM
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9VuyxMPcQ
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzFY7bOwZY
off.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj12tMzsbr
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKgCNypeUq
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZXfH5nWJX
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOz67x8eUJ
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2Dqp3LAiy
I shrugged. She read my 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAvwjXmwN0
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCeEiE3GOb
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRjldcvPBK
me the whole time."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pSDNeDs0T
I sat down on my bed as 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6afxTAdpZh
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvheaypBudc
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR78Q2rcznM
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrXzyiEJB1
"Gosh, you really should954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU5V5dTfpV
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBps85t2A6
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUpUzgjFML
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR853sOy4y3
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp88sY5iLjm
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeRbRNyveY
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqOIPIKWXg
"Mike is annoying 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsU3GCATJn
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobTb2EhHL9
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv152WsKcQo
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgHJLdkF5D
"You're right. I should burn him instead."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlhmEd1O3T
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBK25F5W4i
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURRRlWinay
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU4MBZDIa4
"Sorry, but just so you 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX2rKgWhds
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIzlV9qZQI
that pic of you and him together."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1EFzIYG4I
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOfW6gT8aU
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8KcywBFv6
I blushed and at the 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHe4SXAs3i
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxOZtDzOF7
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBmGZ7RHCH
other hidden agenda.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnapPURL7rh
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WNnsim60f
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRzW519Mhu
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg690dmOHr
I sighed in surrender. 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6loaBrua1z
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMsMd4QfTf
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqo4RmVzKv
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLymExbOAW
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."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosOjR8iKXV
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDypELtSAr4
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsuUYG3sBN
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3pd3DLKbW
Zoey had an excited look954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HiA15ewFf
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD2Ky9uOIL
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6aJePPIWK
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMjla7GQ8Q
clearly show all over her face.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhTPwEF8pV
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIJ60d9aby
I shook my head. "And?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDuJWC2MKI
Zoey folded her arms, 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeftvcXHkc
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPjy4ZSbkV
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2jMDunbsN
"Hold that thought. This954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXggGjir7m
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ613EfAVVAw
after Seunghoon posted that picture."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVB7WigQTB
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3HLh60ZFB
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQu1uFrhXX
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLxoI4CxDi
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3VI2KhdSK
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq6063OHBE
"Well, he hid in our closet."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIGtTcznyn
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9aErmOkCv
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi2fNZk18R
"Ya, why?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiW58dJMeT
"Looks like we just 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzpRTiiZSc
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgU68FsvYv
whom we consider perfect as our bias."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsajP5N1e60
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."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuYHJcw6xx
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN58AQs1qh
"What do you mean? You 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29z92uRDys
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54v6u1mv97
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjbhx19b4B
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJmOpZzYbA
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYaxJkbkDN
"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."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQCVjudI91
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU1nOhQn2Q
"I wanted to but I kept 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8rD2iLAn8
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWiZOCkPjB
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb24O0dvkg
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ0vRJhisO
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4XVnd8zWy
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIxEQljoOA
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos2mGnf8mi
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPYis57JZV
I quickly stood up and 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eGzAXek6q
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSudUn7x99u
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqpNCdccDR
her back.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8WPk3eMLl
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKCMyvX0vo
"Zoey, you're going to 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZBQBOiw8V
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhS5HeU1t4
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iEQO41P0T
own hair pink in the next ten years."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBbxvgYL7x
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLaC3UW4tJ
"You're lying."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFnYTvfBOj
"I'm telling the truth!"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2jjY7iCOP
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj02ePDvwg
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0jjWf9wjK
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkhx43OUVL
"I can't tell you that."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eQk5me3LF
"Why?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgY8SW3GGn
"Because it's 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHus0UMgLV2
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTgptxMHfr
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEme5o6mPF
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGsVfp8yWu
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCktG8DRb9v
"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."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI9HxsRQkY
"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.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcgUPf83IG
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6TvBHriBT
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihJsLiNOAQ
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj0DDBrRTP
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ePK2Ix4ow
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVWxPPSgZM
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rZmnpWEoW
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHzEXEW6dd
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGtgbTvckf
I playfully rolled my 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsgSszdHED
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP7Boetn0m
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf9Z0BUdUW
also looked worried.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ru0OFfCqM
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuAF20tDvJ
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjwIUzKbU2
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ9Mm3yCZs
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv1hyYY8IN
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMumGlBRzEM
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV27EPyCZXK
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sUzbSslVv
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6prY378339
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB79Te4uz04
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrDJkPIjK2
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9NpxpjKzc
"Okay, first of all," 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01jOw57DgF
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MU6d0RDrT
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYoKsI7mEV
he wasn't mad at you."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJqXatvEEy
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3iBhZPHsF
"That, he couldn't say."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngUUarK38l
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1uwlcXcag
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAdqMkUUKw
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAUhrYbd7n
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi3CZbpj1N
Christine pressed the 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LFDe5XCXP
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGioCzlk6H
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzfDNuDr02
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVgvsZlaY2
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Ngqo5Sot
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0RZZUbYxy
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKksdC8vb0f
We got to YG right on 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdEWN1RVzU
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G7NMUCbAT
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLXrud7CJR
arrived a few seconds earlier.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9tGlVSaUx
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi9vihvF3r
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp5U9KDMqe
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPACJF5RFQ3
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc1H6VOA1c
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZeZ67MF2v
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5a1UIIaNn
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohJtRSBNRz
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSvGEuJwXk
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSkLkY52Mt
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRBBheLArU
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagIFkfu96B
"There will be no such 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMRtMnBtS2
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2dRiSyBHJ
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo9WJ7SDyi
"And you're making it 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBYevuObB4
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPNWFQTpJy
pouted his lip and scratched his head.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwN820Co0p
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI4U3V67YN
"Trust me, you don't 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdZgf1sXds
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OMnsNqwnl
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Z7wD1Ubn
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0wQ80q11S
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlGNFL0iYt
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VyILk60UH
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjn4yZr53l
"Look, whether they are 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTGONRmGgC
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aZ2xzb8KC
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ332OYblA2H
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cvb5C2JVI
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKA3UGeR7S
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIdIhBZr9e
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUGoClUMd1
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfMjIfwc2G
I gave Lee a sad smile 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m6SJos7ew
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAirSlzYxIx
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLdKqc0pZL
your life. Like suicide.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpWDUvWSov
We started our way 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOCuMiITWw
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMchdmrGad
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu9KJtohxM
and my jean trousers. Nothing.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfrWK3cXu4
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3obFoY9eJ
I quickly ran out of the954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf0mJJ0EtR
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHobWNxLgg0
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEKK7XSF5x
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs5nkQffzd
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP2M5GXVTZ
check for it inside.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKrzlbLq2J
When I got to the 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gXREfLwqu
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYpK9mZXEJ
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Aa4ThpJ6
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7YsThlHi0
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdEk00Z3Mq
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0jNpoGFLo
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSuVROFAP6
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RNyHffV2d
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DIktv825n
"Seriously, I can sue 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLez71z8DWZ
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnkFTZrSua
fast. I never even heard him coming.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNewQHalEx
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xGRxO80uC
"You're not my bodyguard954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bpKp9bZ4f
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUlwnuNiGQ
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNxixJ1mNO
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxDiIHcf2O
I blushed. "You know about that?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjCoEwEC4s
"Everyone knows you have954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNDr0qzqqt
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbap50prD8f
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPzlmDqQ2o
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlYiRtiKkr
"Looks like I did the 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyZhRVSjzz
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSTmA02BxO
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr45Ggtfsf
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r15NgwJS7
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y35PZcyiF
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w1bOHk2GP
"And because you're a 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9wvNqy1UU
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Btnrz2i2
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8vQ8ONceM
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4daELkGpE2
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1DC4vZt7j
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CQjG2QVJL
"Can you at least tell 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DCUc6kkR2
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7yoLK8iWA
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18W7wDz96K
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef3WWqqiLX
"What dramatic effect?" 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ253yxV4Dyn
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGpX2mwHEF
came closer. I took a warning step back.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgokiUp3W4
"If you hadn't followed 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC82YQTpJ0D
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQSwI25l1K
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtphvDbTxu
room."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpSGullJX2
"What surprise?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU330Lwq6a
The elevator stopped and954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IbZqFpGcw
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC6b3CfyJw
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsceQFKXrpo
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIlLrPE0LU
Seunghoon and I stepped out.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLwwyVhUIk
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnppYFHObv
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYza98Tpa0
"I already have a guess," I said.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2D8ivhaJK
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YXGliV9M7
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8ZrYFOfgH
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI967LMsFbK
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z4CCElIQe
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlPNsLRcN6
When we reached the 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMoMgEYcyf
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd1k3KXovs
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAluWLZ8Mp
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B68VyOeKA
In the conference room 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmo44oU918
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZhOW1CeuL
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTedDXAtkW
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpmmBYQqJN
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPcvrVm3xB
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0HXyA1LJC
though I did my best not to show it.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZFAeZA9hc
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnwZHafYp0
I looked to the opposite954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsALFjmZ6uX
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxohNqkyGFd
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6iG43qV1B
turned their backs to us facing the wall.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvo2vQQBJv
"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."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSNKG5N7AQ
G-Dragon quickly turned 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpBc8Q4RNE
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhclebDFil
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgAyuL8Yjs
"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?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8jY0yAjSJ
"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.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwEjX5ZzTT
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qh8ckGi7I
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrTse5p8mX
"Wait," said Lisa who 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRFinF9EgU
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikn9d6gp0i
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y0TILpYCq
"It felt simple and 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWrgF30EUk
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhh5Q8LoKq
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq9dfR8Hyn
with G-Dragon today."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRI7mBq6eL
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BgT5MD76H
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzed2RF2XF
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX8T70Lcn9
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cvjEvoa5H
"Ya, I know I'm a 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQISGbOHcD
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLNnKOKxhS
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl6LYB3gAb
"If you mean us getting 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7W6TPKbPY
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJqb9egp6j
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuIWWO4ClS
by coincidence."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4bAxpI05M
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTYhyFoJNi
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PjiQnklUA
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4t4665aOW
The rest of the BTW crew954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl6ucrnMKO
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza21nfiWgw
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNQq9h9HC6
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESnwSUOSpO
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgH6wKbKff
"Hold up," said Zoey who954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKsGGYE5ME
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBteMRM4YUs
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07QQ69txF6
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre3hsfLzkR
"Told you we'll 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODkmowLHEP
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQHUcffpyr
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JApyFPcvx
"But is he going to do 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBhe441fgg
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuiHKg6Yeb
didn't really meet by coincidence."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjclklB6DS
There was silence in the954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y8Dgnw5w4
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll0BKANS9H
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVTkEuzNWC
planning to do.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4NktvDMzP
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrUUb6Tpky
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFoZqNNkZb
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjr0n9t5BE
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrppArCnKn
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5bmd8SfDA
"And also because he's 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFHkqW2ij0
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthyWs0LXaR
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vd07VvIgm
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3qPxPg0Fl
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQcU7zWSEy
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRSYlUGksC
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70kwYMo0XA
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreSRc1OqX7
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayYWwcb72Q
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepRATlxiZf
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qo9I4tlbB
G-Dragon smiled. He had 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tYmfy954o
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡophXMlvKjU
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmZQFR7UBr
deal with G-Dragon instead.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL8jNJMThL
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeThIdvDL92
"What do you want?" I asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT9jW4OEsi
G-Dragon looked at me as954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ9cY1otUr
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSumfx60X7D
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKI4ARKk9J
came to any conclusions.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SDvrSUxIs
"To make things clear 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurEgeCvqyB
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWzzJlzuFV
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFgLE8Y4MG
thinking about doing the same thing."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx7b4JjRKE
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUYKdIPGSG
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoPYoFPmpR
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSozXQixhZp
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmEuN8YG39
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3LwM6lamE
"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."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfI5UsOJKV
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfKMQFVoMk
"All's fair in love and 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAUBXOAFob
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLCgtw7WbX
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsTMqFw0Ju
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1euIQiXkQ
"Come on," Christine 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YirsWbpO5
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANjSC8gGwO
won't be here for long and you know it."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQBIaTYDAw
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowIIM8ku2p
"BTW is nothing but a 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I1tSZiyBA
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriK2SHtSlh
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F4czivzLk
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYlk1GF5tk
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYGlivf0Re
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqVH4NI8bW
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQEUSmWzRM
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLWiO3F4p4
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8WTB2eJy3
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHhdexDyuL
"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.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWDEMH2pi3
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHEMrt94O4
Upon saying that, the 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo2DwWzA0P
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2CJjPR7o6
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKZNyQATE8
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nAGCe7U0y
seated stood up.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJu2Qx8aw4
I gulped. I hope the 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHfGKoZ4iQ
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SbySqVWMx
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdoffTy41a
The two managers had 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPma16HiWxO
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARKh67OGBO
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri4tbdVfal
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa33ylVHdu5
is wrong.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXEpmpOuJR
"Good that you're all 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DDrntZZlH
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVnZUc1iuT
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUothtsiGfF
I have always hated it 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbwVBswecG
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tvKlbIZUY
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FqKNcbjyI
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFzSWh2C7U
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWk7aBYXFC
their seats.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYeu2LCMdt
The two managers and Lee954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDyGlAe7Zw
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M0dGzFVKm
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnawmvTcUsZ
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwu0J3qoaC
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQjS9D7Fio
was.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWjSVaTvR1
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZZJqv6JLG
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif80jrPPTF
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPmpqrrVF9
Zoey sighed loudly in 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmzjkqxvYg
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWhXswBBH5
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz0K1ZP4dN
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWQU77Azu8
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b2YXuXeTh
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrATnGm2hK
The two managers 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcLYK1KmEJ
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1XMJQPQ43
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpj4Gvqivu
That was so not cool.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dp0DSnAhz
"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."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfabkso7unA
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rshYpFDQt
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdkn9vSXKq
My ears perked up when 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoxxH1ZpnD
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6KqkGzZKb
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogt1rW9ZQ1
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxc2QwxRGS
"We heard you outside 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxx9Gh14q3
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj6DG1PpeG
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRToR4oWq6
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVYG52REpC
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ul9YggphD
"Yes, Sam. For real," 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l6aYjgf3n
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeH89KQPa9
through further scrutiny about this decision."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxjYXwmtVc
I smiled. Even if they 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcBuVDnQTo
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibLwxiMcIc
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNfoKmhl4p
There was an exciting 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK6HW01v9s
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvieOvUSgm
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kjXZdAjUO
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLY2IYeMnE
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbkin2MWGj
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj68e7n9Vr
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZoymvUyxy
I turned to my other 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwbEThdiAh
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUyqWnqpne
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJhCbAvBta
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzIa3S670M
now, didn't matter.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhp0nb80T7
"You heard them when 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIux9wxDg3
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruklrXlBwB
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3He4WT0v8q
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSwzN13lrh
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuYoA60h4h
"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.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O3NUwtWPG
This time it was me, or I954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu1add6UpO
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIokaGIY85Q
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytBMyZ54ez
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSf7QcMose
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKat0epTpA
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQplIna7id2
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp8HutYIjW
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx1Ms774Z7
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteEKYaDWCQ
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhaxo4siDk
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfin3ea3U09
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fjLU1se0n
"We all agree," said Daniel.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC87flDlsG
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm3mWqp7jo
"But just because it 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHAnJdzMVC
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLESYYUbzJU
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zNowVtmfU
"Okay, so that's settled954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2BQYtGRes
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr43sKv9pc
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCD4jM0nSl
BTW official."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4JNJAOe9m
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iq6cNAmH3
I noticed that most of 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SlXbmCEYV
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWFsTuFWkC
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDXrlzH4xM
when she looked at me and I grinned.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZbFZf0v2r
"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."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmJyiAZxyx
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv0KDeKey2
"Before we make BTW 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstsj5C54oe
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIbmwCAME6
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgyiybb4Gj
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECSwDJlbu9
low for a while. Is that good?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHQiJWXbNB
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHDGWmOyMq
"That's fair enough," 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYaXF9YtvG
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyJsF1HOBa
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbGpP0bGws
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93gUCjP02A
so."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbPhvyyvor
"So you want to crush 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZZJeZlaWJ
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJOvyjRrWv
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeDWS332Ha
strategy."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9sp8AE2IN
"Then if all is well and954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kXVzx8cMC
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxEKbwwUcg
updated and not a word on social media."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0XbxV5YOP
I stood up from my seat 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ddfbpGgw0
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAgEiTLH7i
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6AKlSGgEV
walk out, I stopped them.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35NfP9YlNy
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAePpgMbBB
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaP4b5lB32
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCIUmAIysb
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2i8tY6dj3
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i9KYG114S
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D5kO0D7WH
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq3bwMcdas
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvP30RBElF
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTId2SJL38
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ00dAXZJ0
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMUae5d33v
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltj1kSDZTZ
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQXbktoaRJ
"This is like the best 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScp2sUHYWC
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03zXVJ6AaA
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtt9tSC5xy
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrbeENpJTv
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTPA3UGxJP
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVObTzkPEy
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHQQhd3lXQ
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlAP1N4t8u
"I knew there was a 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPD3gEPTTO
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCeHR5cllw
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoboxG9Zow
G-Dragon.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJa6Ttwsba
"You knew?" Christine asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS4sXcpdvw
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC69sUyDQGc
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ly1CFnJ8C
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjuuPXJu7r
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQSkWrF7nO
"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.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirJZdZQlYi
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYOw8LpieW
"Well, you guys can tell954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoR6y2U7w3
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPeRR19jVx
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP3E2zJTWr
aren't going to go into the same car."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTim6ak48EQ
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXDaCr7RyC
Everyone else started to954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoRO9i3JR9
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqB4LKpMZB
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVsgsZoldG
only G-Dragon and I.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6xOso4eCh
"I'm mad at you," I started.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fgTRHYMBZ
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHOCxVqDDf
"Save it." I held my 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k6g0QSUKn
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrDXiqyDyk
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP1VobBFKd
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxsQwGDXm0
a war again."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsBVq88nTq
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeZknqpcYx
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n2IJXPxLF
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yGxOGP4og
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhRzZEOvOH
G-Dragon looked at me 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXTmfolxPe
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaYeDmq4lx
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X4kubOL21
stab in the heart.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD9wBn2aFQ
"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."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zNUOqTcpr
"You know, the others 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9NQ2pm67p
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9gkC4panJ
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSJDyTuoam
with WINNER yesterday."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqsnB1FIZl
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4joRFhB9DV
I nodded my head. What I954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxSJfofMyX
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtg1Cn1cdR
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m0PJzIuBw
of Seunghoon and I.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76CWW3ALya
"You know you and I can 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9HJkosbKl
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10hI9syshQ
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9rFQgKoQU
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk8HSWYLvh
down the rocks."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b6VGZsXen
I headed for the door 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKyAX1xIDd
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktvrWhOSgH
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDvMwiwYai
Zoey, waiting.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ckf7iZqFd
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsonxt0fzLv
"I sure hope so," I said954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvitrc9S4K
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjnlFsJMss
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ47PwAUOD
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wBtyL9I2k
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGZwTsuEYP
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhWA7rOmtU
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI5t6nsXOL
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2lY1APsia
"You know computers are 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtYG7oHzPz
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5E0ABCdva
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3I5r9VVDb
supposed to."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIxGtNwaxV
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGysVe7tVpQ
I smiled. "You always call me that."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jVTx4BD59
"Ya, because you're smart too."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rIQNcGUf0
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwxv0oPpAV
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5ZtF0bI05
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jm3x7I9YG
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwzzd1otXM
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpMXzpUIw6
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
