Hanging out at Times 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkilAbqwQ16
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i4IROFZ1f
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9FjakwGxD
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqXe0vTL5G
But that didn't matter. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeStABxvwZR
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeCAu3Xi1E
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzcuMboCQL
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gAYxC1aad
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDn9X8D2wu
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bLjjewKxe
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4btlUlurH
actually played around with the adorable kids.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgCEHIQy5c
There were plenty of 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXptLnwTZ8k
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO42eYCNi5A
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryUflArQB7
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc3oVqVhKe
fans too.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ8XV0DVyA
The time we were done 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUn5CuhLlA
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo82XWXVCMJ
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQfFeNvTjd
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhsxUD22e9
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUmJqolQmD
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivXiD8amqa
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6jI1NiP63
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46PiNsvJO2
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kuWvWjYro
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgjObhtuTs
previous day, of course.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5cCbepVm7
As much as the managers 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLpJziFL8C
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1OfGPaUjM
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgzz2MiZmv
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5t0qCJFFt
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMIEWxMZiO
Right now, this very 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI2G7C93Ko
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETgFmB8UY3
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxOQBaypMI
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaEIIy0nG1
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22EmlDmRzy
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgyC0hKlTT
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws99JUU9NS
and I just couldn't take it.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviIOnotOa6
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g5sHdvfQj
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEoWgfBeT1
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJs22x6LCg
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xeoqwO5Ij
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6CjaJBo8s
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QxSGmvtn8
"I thought you said your plan would work."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgtp1CRGnB
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMgl6D4vMs
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIdP57yO6i
I felt like slapping my 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiibpblW2ZK
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NAqQWPuQa
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpiGtm8CP7
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HcO3cX0Kp
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7XRTCm9wP
off.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vcztqOmm8
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaaPQ4hMYj
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumJg3p0v9d
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE32Kfh0Pr
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOU6iwrrPN
I shrugged. She read my 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5soK4dox7
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeyB0izYPe
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XTlTdPg0R
me the whole time."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJVDckCEZy
I sat down on my bed as 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UfXUjJdBR
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1tPnzpiF2
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhDmGVVvtT
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0fxnRvqTQ
"Gosh, you really should892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHBpkAMrNn
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiv2VXRZr8
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1K1OlRPeE
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQZ9V1Bd6W
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnFv7fPSTI
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZQhu2eu7Q
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6zeV9p8PR
"Mike is annoying 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo4LSd0EST
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2HTHz2eiS
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsFKRcom1m
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfZueISPpH
"You're right. I should burn him instead."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dBL1HTmyz
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd2vNy00Ha
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvGzqalUMr
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTRH91yyZf
"Sorry, but just so you 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvEMNAA9EZ
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFainNBHPbY
that pic of you and him together."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltCZKLQlzK
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOly7g3aWYV
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY48ISziT4y
I blushed and at the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM6Xlmobq6
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjWG86XHeG
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E7qGfUzdX
other hidden agenda.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gey85QKpa
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMzzqIyTEb
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnzQCi6N8i
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9udzPv2zqV
I sighed in surrender. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TOWmuFzyK
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3HqVwiqGX
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZgFYjfRGd
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhgT63GaoJ
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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25P8CMEtjU
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeogZ94Uc9s
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIahtxi8UF
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70HJ2Wk4m9
Zoey had an excited look892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnRDkU434i
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPouWqfix9G
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMinMkxE7S
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1RZrVET5b
clearly show all over her face.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtjnt0sbEL
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiprLz5iSh
I shook my head. "And?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliJscBqBSF
Zoey folded her arms, 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SZjxkZLoQ
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpFi92i0QT
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu883TbL7y
"Hold that thought. This892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cv3x3bWGx
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1PBIK0Onh
after Seunghoon posted that picture."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHkPxknR5j
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiWWoc2GeE
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hNiOBZfsv
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXPbO8SXZ4
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDQ8IS6wnT
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBEP8qx5d6
"Well, he hid in our closet."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZIT6FmNKe
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6WV3iSvv2
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPAA4mn0mL
"Ya, why?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8LeEXuwpt
"Looks like we just 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tsDDGboH7
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilcWuz7286
whom we consider perfect as our bias."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3klBUGqky
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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRRHKFvkOx
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJIV7fR02v
"What do you mean? You 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtKShwS6Hn
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqoTxt6yCs
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkRLZmg1Ky
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpNYxEcC6A
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKLBmSBipP
"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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKxhcK7Tcu
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGQTGIZthx
"I wanted to but I kept 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9600GUVuwI
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJLuNIVg5b
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6k6weHNng
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PnLYRMo1B
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaDW5ZHw6G
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACUtEZXQoD
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZAv1iqxaU
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiytybOfqO
I quickly stood up and 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTiGQkItU1
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr27fwQCiK9
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJwB5EAOF5
her back.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGOKAn6uNl
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UhgUoCbjt
"Zoey, you're going to 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4joCdDfszp
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYtSnH9EVd
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOE33LB84l
own hair pink in the next ten years."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlzgKlyBOX
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuKdkwUrC5
"You're lying."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q9qDZKwsC
"I'm telling the truth!"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j9pMLRqvw
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9tI4bcyFj
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoydNzRAIp
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wHpNi0U4Z
"I can't tell you that."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94cXgeuPkf
"Why?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCqYnSYiFs
"Because it's 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9uYtXmgoV
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydrTXlxPnI
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHWfxNFDDt
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbePVJZXyKg
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGPrWbKdok
"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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjW7zcZCWY
"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.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfZ6cdXSpY
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnovJtDQpO
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy2NYof7bH
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Yde1yMe8
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh01aSH3kG
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGJDCXCTW9
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzu21Cqbjg
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O0gz9B4Ir
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nHJZy658b
I playfully rolled my 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA1a95rem6
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GsFf2ugaA
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fiutd4bRk
also looked worried.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YTKNN6vVJ
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzDCjoDSN4
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8yw7AcEk2
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMpCHfvrh9
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZi50xfWJO
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLr9y7NspG
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizbvb4g9F3
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniWgRrqy02
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBwbjJbCJP
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTWTIgm7P5
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe1QkrEAte
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjKO1iCFHo
"Okay, first of all," 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinrvK7dGby
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1pnCuy8Qi
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXPPZI71tw
he wasn't mad at you."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RHZ1RNiHy
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr44bRWEDO
"That, he couldn't say."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZS4NbRH8T
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAfnxQG1PS
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkATAAlD6Qv
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKrT0yiL3A
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI8jARqI5z
Christine pressed the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX5m6aKGar
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLhDljoemA
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5VPxbIdMy
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4LlHid6FD
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb1NxB840v
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN62yFXGCij
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6c8C8G9wj
We got to YG right on 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA7VaKtzcp
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmduF54hTi
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLAHBrlnvY
arrived a few seconds earlier.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ByWdtZzn
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xsRrdsK8e
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg1n1SXB4Q
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRpEapDFDv
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRWSNPbsPp
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDUa5NcFh6
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF1IHCcHvk
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt4kbZ1GBr
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbTBruZkEt
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5LBBiDGZZ
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeliCzskjDC
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnfMrGYml0
"There will be no such 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tMI3SSh64
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3Fp8oSDko
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEnpgDfPTO
"And you're making it 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl9KmwGHMK
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAHgxDXjL9
pouted his lip and scratched his head.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4GSpLTb0h
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwUp04ZVoB
"Trust me, you don't 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUkeJbugDw
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHx2Pn15TT
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mFmMQn8d0
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ3aE3F4PZ
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG70xEc5w7B
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawgq6DL978
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NeYKPkbKA
"Look, whether they are 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzfVqkaIau
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5brmsdSNgK
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W4Az33Yyy
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo1plOQJgu
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSYI6CGO9c
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx1ejQ7uO6
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYcDceBnxI
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH5kX00Vf3
I gave Lee a sad smile 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZJqqTw4IN
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRqLISQ0Yq
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvKDRhVUBe
your life. Like suicide.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5U8mkxuMl
We started our way 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13eXq448dw
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqjexuemJn
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR0lXztEZC
and my jean trousers. Nothing.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2wgkBk37j
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40GP1JSMkV
I quickly ran out of the892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsJ127Px8Z
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjLX8zLMJj
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CwwIWjQsB
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iTmdvoMZy
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkINVmHau3
check for it inside.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0rpceucfv
When I got to the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMz7COPhJn
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2xEXHfAhn
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe40rurCr4m
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSqWn9G6OH
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb4quyDyr0
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXSMEq3dsJ
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBJadpIMJ1
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtdnGRmPWS
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3TO2dLI83
"Seriously, I can sue 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63afXn62Gb
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUidzylpLmx
fast. I never even heard him coming.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSmBs0MA8d
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0UlkNzKFY
"You're not my bodyguard892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j7dWxitke
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA6H5tx00B
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dQDErXeuo
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53NWpa5K3n
I blushed. "You know about that?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIphKmXHF9
"Everyone knows you have892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzCKDXoqRg
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TQFxbmS56
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkGRnXysVC
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9ttrxelwl
"Looks like I did the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiWqXsCCoQ
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGQlv6apLd
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwFTKdMoDj
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSfvthfrx0
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPB5owQDcl
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9FKIt5GI1
"And because you're a 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMhd2Njt4v
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2buhxxfS6G
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP1mThwa4F
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6HlDOI1lA
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYofO5EC0k
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8texC7nT6O
"Can you at least tell 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMvI4Gv9dX
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wvhiv79N4
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYfqZ8Af5O
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJgU73S57d
"What dramatic effect?" 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz0Do8AMDv
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSmKiMFQdi
came closer. I took a warning step back.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKfjSjs8BU
"If you hadn't followed 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz19fO8noy
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2f3Ml3u5F
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcnDUDLBDp
room."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KaMYKQDQn
"What surprise?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjCmuMy5mV
The elevator stopped and892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRUoEAJVN7
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0cLiLrXPw
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmvJGnfzEl
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPg6HMwKh4
Seunghoon and I stepped out.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVt4heN72r
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxHSzKA5kl
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMP0lF6Orh
"I already have a guess," I said.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Vy45D9u7
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pKuml4klB
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6skflvuWe
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOBVCStcfN
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQlCS5FVw4
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGem6GqzP7
When we reached the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEhjm9pO4h
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AFjM7A8px
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCouUTaNJq
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoIRc5iK0i
In the conference room 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCiYt7BV4p
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEBxVMIDSl
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IUjmpYkIP
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyeEMU7ExO
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RrPiTrEX7
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAJva8Po4z
though I did my best not to show it.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVqFld67jP
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnJ5pl0ror
I looked to the opposite892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTrG6jWVI9
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkKy3cOyuv
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbKVnjvtKP
turned their backs to us facing the wall.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bIbLiuWxt
"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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TdMo4hCDx
G-Dragon quickly turned 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldkeZEGk63
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlPRm9ynjU
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX66AHaVtK9
"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?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYMijPQBXM
"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.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0sLZMsoQV
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNhSK6658A
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUp5pOXQl7
"Wait," said Lisa who 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3avmj7uA4d
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQsBaa7Gfg
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkYq0JPHfi
"It felt simple and 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyD2IXckan
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KQmQpWH3z
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTlqONdym6
with G-Dragon today."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsu9NYIjza
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4k3mCLTwN
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggZqvQwZwY
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB9tKD3AQn
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXAEGwGsex
"Ya, I know I'm a 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ197P2y1I
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KDMd7Q1tD
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf7rrOYJEi
"If you mean us getting 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmwwSl1iso
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe7Xv6st5m
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pPT9kqiya
by coincidence."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ntlWKwa5
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMcQnclqp6
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xvvOwghO2
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCVu5ERDSO
The rest of the BTW crew892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcRAXlUuaa
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0Frxjb4nM
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPstfop6SO
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjOeXdrBfr
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKgZBf9TF2
"Hold up," said Zoey who892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsTnoYIft3
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkAF1owFV0
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXFoeiEHfs
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdoNwZPToY
"Told you we'll 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF8QuOmlwz
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmXd3LBRlH
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oB1AaWGTL
"But is he going to do 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCu1yL2DeQ
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIIWSok4DG
didn't really meet by coincidence."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmt0VGAmNE
There was silence in the892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r30o1NiBx
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrthp7bQSnh
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrw7Yl0YiT
planning to do.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA6qGa5TEX
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXoRnutEU3
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHA1NDVq9a
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm280yFZ4m
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjJGAUcmnZ
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMYbBSsNFe
"And also because he's 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIq77fx1pd
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLujQn1aHge
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9AoOHJA8A
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJJweuUO7y
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcqhIy4sKs
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCzQC6EII3
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavpiRROb75
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrayOMfqDs
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwXLzziKIq
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4ubbFZyWx
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfGWGoNocF
G-Dragon smiled. He had 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzq849pqjH
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnsVWA8N4P
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMFxmdSynJ
deal with G-Dragon instead.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMcXGTBzID
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRyfb8Zz1x
"What do you want?" I asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Edga86NO
G-Dragon looked at me as892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuknjjT2Vz1
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiDl8FcnME
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5ZWxDGTDS
came to any conclusions.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOEko0p1B7
"To make things clear 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5G76WT38K
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAOkZCJz2y
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yPv7SsjFk
thinking about doing the same thing."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFxCQPoBTp
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp9YuZjr9g
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcY07ExQtS
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmwyx3NBqc
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRSLgtUGLJ
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTSIbq4nTl
"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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHGOIQ7qLr
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwzENOzGYf
"All's fair in love and 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmxgh405s5
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYP2cAFWcN
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Poc6CwAUt
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC2MZ09CfO
"Come on," Christine 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFKxRYtnPu
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9mJf1B7Ca
won't be here for long and you know it."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolaLdzBakm
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrJZ8IPSb2
"BTW is nothing but a 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlYdOTQJGl
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAlRQjEIJX
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWI8XuqDxJ
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVanDAWDeBC
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XJ7Arzm3p
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIS2v93kkR
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi73WirKnPo
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArkLbCRto8
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2RRFXYYVT
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXFUdC7JMw
"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.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjfe547e55
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gL8B4NSWF
Upon saying that, the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbqSHeWEFl
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfjhXr1dAh
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS7bxAhoqw
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW4g1yt0dq
seated stood up.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTux11zrBLP
I gulped. I hope the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeW5WqOcGu
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNtoTNFBWh
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXu7hr8U45
The two managers had 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6VRT9TlM6
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaNkQxQ62A
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h7FhLix14
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlsE22Owva
is wrong.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ks8t8BxFF
"Good that you're all 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeQg2Q2ANd
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L2o31QNgN
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowcd70OhKp
I have always hated it 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0erR1taaT
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zHPtfYx6W
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd7eTGYm7O
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN8l7E352s
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYfZMEnpLe
their seats.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKaViTN1VR
The two managers and Lee892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDzfNwNFmK
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzBYKLHXPD
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQarl3sIR4
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ060LIUK9sc
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAsXkY4Xy4
was.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeJ2IJg1gm
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXxRkrYa58
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSPfYL4dc1
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVzjlEJPfm
Zoey sighed loudly in 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuytGx2au6
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnVaA0fkQq
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kvtnquANi
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1tA1vwSZ2
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNPXtrGYBi
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1vJLORBCi
The two managers 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQiEZKV2a5
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuWkEq1E2z
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx4ch83cZ7
That was so not cool.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyO1voE6yG
"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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeeSkx3B5y
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrUZyKVLx5
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHAmXkTpyT
My ears perked up when 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc8EQKXwCw
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7MVVBwbdD
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcbD7ajYAZ
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h6AHQQveB
"We heard you outside 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEud26g5h4
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR8JgrfohM
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69wPHFQDoj
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPygiWMCWI
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrxk9qu8GV
"Yes, Sam. For real," 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG0MvuMygC
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtPem0Ius1
through further scrutiny about this decision."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8zgxqbKnb
I smiled. Even if they 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8osVVQdlJ
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvlYzjVVpO
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86iYhxYzRk
There was an exciting 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sdJxrn5nN
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo44CnMtfR1
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LHZJXpz5S
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxuEBjTPpU
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrARQoDWZi4
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERfG7oqNKc
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqbbMJ5FtA
I turned to my other 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRGInA6Txk
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H2RFxIcpj
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb17ZrsIzjG
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqYm9mpUCq
now, didn't matter.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs683ZXK9xf
"You heard them when 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97FUODpvoy
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjeUpVinhO
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXZMGFQywo
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4VCoIUwq9
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJrSWoWvAN
"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.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoFD2djibT
This time it was me, or I892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacF3i2s8mr
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6sql4MHdH
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yr1gDwmc0
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCJHuADjPE
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInPIidb7Ti
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20IfOhFwyq
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RrLYDuZuZ
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYyG1auHjz
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTpqSfdd2D
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR4tmFiGMF
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqor38me9SI
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdqBK4jT9W
"We all agree," said Daniel.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLos9h5CxrW
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVXqPYP4bO
"But just because it 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrFUBoLhuW
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XiSsf7K3L
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0n8nj4oTA
"Okay, so that's settled892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzEmAkiQLF
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4JJDSmhbj
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUByPFOc5l
BTW official."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeChEzK6uUl
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nbbpmqb86
I noticed that most of 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqEDYNXBBi
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvI92RzEms
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSFIbh3lbA
when she looked at me and I grinned.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuQmDIeZFF
"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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUTkzMwwvq
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxOaF50E7k
"Before we make BTW 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXP57tNID8
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0vtV82hzK
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6P6eOqN3M
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIhWlzkQEh
low for a while. Is that good?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYq0FI9pQ7
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJrrQsgJTW
"That's fair enough," 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Aqx2MIewc
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkspaSCLXFJ
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgaAomTlV7
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq7lLYAfEz
so."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC8Vg4SJ0u
"So you want to crush 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYz3ueJuwP
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoGwUEbznO
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhV9Gv2dH0
strategy."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4EpEwLQFv
"Then if all is well and892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T7QCzpnGW
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhzioNXP2b
updated and not a word on social media."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal4oq2z2To
I stood up from my seat 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY6TdeEN87
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vgqlxQCCf
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKUOgrI4Tn
walk out, I stopped them.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVgp6W9ZsK
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUuU8frKPs
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sEPP6RbNE
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAXTyo4GIE
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6AdA13gUY
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmOeCde94M
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qsrE6bvfx
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNVv9MeHXN
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUAGntsig8
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF23723kSOO
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3DADCYfbi
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0SjsQALFA
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXIniLqYgv
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUnmWN6sp7
"This is like the best 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZx2Tja8Or
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaInyLaCgh
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Hokg0NJO
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFl4ioog2a
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zpBVxLgQw
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4SoMW9yJ5
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKMcQBvCtp
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepprspLhuz
"I knew there was a 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe15Y5BjJu
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSfWVOcCpl
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p3dx2dNEl
G-Dragon.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZB9hpu341
"You knew?" Christine asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN3iPUbFmI
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRBQ5PgRsB
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8xTPv8ZoP
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm5d6JW9lj
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDIV8H7fzg
"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.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxSbah3ajX
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx8RWPcmze
"Well, you guys can tell892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ADq0ZvhUq
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7ZynO0ncG
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFuffrtVXT
aren't going to go into the same car."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitM1QOpdSB
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbJVRGrhE3
Everyone else started to892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7ig3GyFbv
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByE89n7bPf
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCEpInNqVe
only G-Dragon and I.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCGQyLcJ4J
"I'm mad at you," I started.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GDKjbSYzB
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNFV9tGrBT
"Save it." I held my 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2bSqc6uUY
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KV0KJhJny
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCRPrhjYgj
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFNC0ZUdNP
a war again."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pKPhGLmiv
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm0MbN16mv
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kbHy1EW3u
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqYchl5XZW
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQhjwlBbFP
G-Dragon looked at me 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA5GGN2q4K
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLpw81WG3T
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWjy0Bkhfn
stab in the heart.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI8CFWCAed
"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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMo82OFMz1
"You know, the others 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66LLqlJcXA
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSKK59GE1j
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgcHe00yoS
with WINNER yesterday."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqvuL5XCv9
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduIStv3DlS
I nodded my head. What I892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOmgAZFvtM
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoxNqiuXJ8
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVidf85lJMv
of Seunghoon and I.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rxJhalbWD
"You know you and I can 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5o6bLhI9r
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWrg2escGt
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sY5YfHGWL
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hFZq7HbhE
down the rocks."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKghci4Wtfg
I headed for the door 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMPMWUkhsG
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KO1kQdaO9
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1ro1eleZV
Zoey, waiting.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSebNQEudlY
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17v3oGtsoR
"I sure hope so," I said892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR5KmQNkcE
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFufCLwmu1i
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4lcegq179
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS5f8cKhlK
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQyDpaPJnD
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM8yByrv5t
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tZfNaLDYO
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAKfy4Nnk8
"You know computers are 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGOcM7pQMv
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89irTRh6f7
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRMDSgxRJJ
supposed to."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhUT1X91po
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX5KnMJaX6
I smiled. "You always call me that."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ncCcptVF
"Ya, because you're smart too."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpbtSJWYpe
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2yPuRkyxQ
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbVAI5jQh0
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLDP6g0ypv
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMygmpRDPcK
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMk1xKJ13l
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
