Lee's P.O.V1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1oalvPekI5
I was so tired as I sat 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAzEjosffV8B
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAESr3xON4C8
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAygfX1447E3
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA499GYLQ4Hf
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQj6OejAakd
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAzF8plreRwT
The past two days have 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAnPhZSo2qcp
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 1021Please respect copyright.PENANACogkPek95H
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAra0EYtwR2L
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxo01k5TIgE
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 1021Please respect copyright.PENANABImOnI4Rm5
complain.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA7mMyAKRq4E
Why should I complain? 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAYIoUfKtrGp
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when1021Please respect copyright.PENANABSVcCfUU9J
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1gtCtELoiI
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA4FqRlu8RDr
I really love my job. 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9JdsA5RMJ
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAmiBYa7kVaZ
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAnNRAuD7lk5
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAqshE8tWcQL
Collins is strict and 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAlEIH0ZfeWX
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAbhj4D3t6xg
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1VIcSdxgPr
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only1021Please respect copyright.PENANA4sOeTP39wU
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set1021Please respect copyright.PENANACs5Y1fx4UE
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 1021Please respect copyright.PENANANN3pu77paV
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends1021Please respect copyright.PENANAabCqjWBZ8U
over the years.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxeUgtdVewG
And another reason I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAi28WMK8CXA
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected1021Please respect copyright.PENANAkjszlXt991
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 1021Please respect copyright.PENANADwABtQl9Gn
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAhUMSmX0eUC
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAeRWTSR0gKZ
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAYN5BquNO4g
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3xOdnViglc
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAd1uB24sI9e
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's1021Please respect copyright.PENANAl6fBh3Bs0j
how they have managed to make it this far.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAaWxW1LtIh8
As I remained seated and1021Please respect copyright.PENANALrc5n8xs4a
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3pXCVpLezi
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAq1eVQxRz19
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAfgrtpKZETC
like that at all.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAOxu9rYp5Im
Not that I'm acting like1021Please respect copyright.PENANAbq6YDt3Ige
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAz9Mw4805bR
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAYVdnliflxt
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxzk2eGyPYL
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to1021Please respect copyright.PENANAM2PSBbGJ93
help in any way I can.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAhguUDyxK1o
I looked at the time on 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA5UK65M2qfK
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAzwlwPcGV3g
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA86QZKpI4kb
I quickly grabbed my 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3yk12t6p1A
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAjsgD9I3jHj
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAvKTykeiPgf
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA4tvU5gXOYG
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAz0dfXZTDN5
"Ya, we're done with practise."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAHpooe130uy
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQwsUsJyz3U
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANARzrKiaU58e
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAShMQ4ygTCT
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANACANtV75FRH
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."1021Please respect copyright.PENANA6gGN9aXOii
Whatever ounce of 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxn5wZ3hW46
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3tgl4LDJu8
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously1021Please respect copyright.PENANAyyk455sdwh
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAz7iwSNeZR8
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAudltb63jFC
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAFZxDcLLK3X
I sighed as I leaned back on my chair again. "I guess if you're with TOP it's fine. But you should've informed me first."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAcUMwI6R3U0
"Is Collins with you?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAlCPCf69v1d
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxkLigoafdp
"Good. I've something else to tell you."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAr5M0cmJq2k
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAZV0OZQF6zu
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."1021Please respect copyright.PENANABDKqeMV5ac
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAR3HqaZeaNq
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxLW6aGoi5l
"Tell me then," I insisted.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAAcXBNE8uNB
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAGZpXIL5hOV
"Did you and TOP kiss?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAWnf1emCutG
"What! No! No way!"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAfCgJPF4wEK
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAuuJZcrW1f4
"What makes you think that?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAO9eB2ocJXj
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAZDkQYtaPrR
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAskWzMIAWrs
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANArrqbI1eCpw
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAo3kKujBxgD
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAKP65qrs6gp
"Try me, Sam. I've been 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAkKfg6lr88y
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAcrNCP451b7
on that I won't be surprised this time around."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAWEhhMuEF6d
"No, Lee, this time it's different."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAVDNSMxQQLh
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAOZRuR4pG0O
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAndAra1MdYi
Before Sam could say 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAfJtGMwbvDa
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 1021Please respect copyright.PENANATyOCWU6jLh
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAOTkvJE2sSE
quickly realised that it wasn't.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAB2OW1HuNSs
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA8MAUuN606p
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAXbUCexLWb7
"What the what! Sam! 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA9ED80yK839
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQpxekL5fS0
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAGnJBNPs5Uq
"Wait, hold on, give me a1021Please respect copyright.PENANAJVrH96WrfN
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA8Pd51mpGxF
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 1021Please respect copyright.PENANATEQNXzw0q9
tell you."1021Please respect copyright.PENANA9L3UOBgHGi
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxCyMONQr7u
"Seunghoon from WINNER."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAPpoIrckyaP
I thought the world 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAvIei2iyeaT
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt1021Please respect copyright.PENANAYlwfs7o3Vz
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA7TlNIiLIMH
"Sam, I'm going to faint1021Please respect copyright.PENANAmJVyGK7fmQ
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAi63kmFpaSx
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANA5sDiYs4dbo
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."1021Please respect copyright.PENANA5NzLnClawS
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAjhYSC65Hy6
"I know, but I've a plan."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAPmTAjj8lGV
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANATt0mhJITH4
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAjRmWLWPwN2
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAOOUvQ3gsWr
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."1021Please respect copyright.PENANANQ9rx3as9R
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8KayQcqQl
"Or you can just join in1021Please respect copyright.PENANA2VQPsF9T65
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA9c1L1iDUm6
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1gh06RT7eR
"Okay, I'll be there. 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAbUbey4xxmW
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAKzQ42w9gBk
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAtfKuQFNK4J
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAzzFZYKpPAm
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAWMg2ssxF0d
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAAMC52ELlk6
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAbA9a4rIsLN
"Alright, I'm on my way."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAiO2IKr3yv6
I quickly cut the call 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAnzHDJFRkgJ
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAgehpKUhfvz
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0ULpbuwMe
the trending list, I was a little confused.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAZXx7Os2q9O
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.1021Please respect copyright.PENANADdmc5uZs1n
***1021Please respect copyright.PENANACBW3GcPnhG
Sam's P.O.V1021Please respect copyright.PENANAjJAo3Cevnf
I1021Please respect copyright.PENANAIMZi6DBer6
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAS5N3jysorl
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAfWdjj2652W
the fans.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0EWGnJvbI
Since1021Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qk5CR9cTl
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQNShFHeL59
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAmcWMAaoK0W
massive Times Square complex.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA2UlCpAekip
So1021Please respect copyright.PENANAa3BEWAiJVH
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA5OrXAvwDJD
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAjn2hASdYdn
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAwxiXMrcVTS
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAbPqU4643bL
serious.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAHVgiOaQoQt
"It's1021Please respect copyright.PENANAtqck2pMXNm
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA4TGXv4kMs0
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3HPm26qOiC
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAj5eHJC5lMF
I1021Please respect copyright.PENANAoW17b2XwHt
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAzoVaPcs55t
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAgqQ7Uhludj
somewhat worrying.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA2ibG36IRRK
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."1021Please respect copyright.PENANA4i0pTkfkTE
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAqHD7D7lte4
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAEVocgKPATN
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAT6cJwxnnke
"You're right. I do."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAucuwUjnwgZ
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAyEl5FazmIf
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAXxM1J7Pht9
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAM53EZSsK67
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAji9De3kdtZ
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.1021Please respect copyright.PENANApPM5eqmMzt
"You're1021Please respect copyright.PENANACToCeQgi6O
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAkGbg0fiX1l
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAa6vXKnKHQk
around here."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2QAefIBtK
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAquc8OzvjUf
"Who said we need to 1021Please respect copyright.PENANASSfaCgwRsF
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA6FKYRDx0tk
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1SQPcAuqbC
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAENhs1mFSJt
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5ZbqIHthS
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA2701j6QdxA
"Where?" Zoey asked.1021Please respect copyright.PENANACMAJVrEQF9
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAKmTGuCl6ZA
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA8bGiLVPblL
"Wait, a minute!" I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAbpCiytJFTw
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA5o3J2H4gKS
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAnTFRNvFcfQ
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAcAwclNn4o0
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAAuELk5woOW
"Did someone just say 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAFY17hSVz7v
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAHE1DevCgS2
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANA89v59KUGn1
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAwxgRxzafaM
"You're doing that thing1021Please respect copyright.PENANARkx0Zb93lg
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA2J33VNMXWf
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAYiR0ouWPAE
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAzHqjXXeKwt
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAoXd3dwB7TT
"Ya, true," said Mike.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAdVnYNQsgaa
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAEWgehBgIqi
"I'm not going to 1021Please respect copyright.PENANANn8TapuOm7
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQPgbPbNqaC
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAXfLpqsgF5n
"No, I'm scared that 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAEW8F0IULkE
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAuZrLt9Afgr
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAcwX1aTS68Q
I looked at Zoey, then 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAtGn9wqHfvT
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA5r4q1ahuHp
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAvqzoYMrQbB
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready1021Please respect copyright.PENANA6xUdJEV8QX
for that bumpy ride again.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAUlpYc4Sv3F
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA7kdS75Jl6J
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAqUashiPIhg
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAGCIW6bO15K
Daniel's mouth gaped 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA5HDOzQSX0q
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAgraW20Se9o
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAPkQNFpYb0w
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAqvX0geawyD
"Well, I think we can 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAz1kG8OkkJn
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so1021Please respect copyright.PENANAGnOQpLPuh1
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAgflTcUOva3
"Same here," said Mino.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAriYh6AB6MD
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANARo2f2QWKxM
Everyone including me 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAqJa6soKpfw
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 1021Please respect copyright.PENANATc9uMCjPYQ
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAzx0CxbtvpX
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in1021Please respect copyright.PENANAf03UT3suGP
Times Square.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAP1L67WNCn0
"There's an open food 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3caXBQBVbp
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAjqyK8i4f1X
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAvdHLMhgqut
"Gosh, I've now realised1021Please respect copyright.PENANAok4gWdOW0r
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAELr2m56QKQ
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA8HMptokHHl
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA8hMO0ItWIi
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAUUWiwhKo76
"No wonder you Toxins 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAtey7x6AAu6
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAdEBdgp5jqe
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAn1twixaGXh
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA8O7B01zlOI
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAR331Z7xCeb
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAoaI47dovR4
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.1021Please respect copyright.PENANArvWe2O93op
Zoey, Christine and the 1021Please respect copyright.PENANANjlBvOvcql
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAVxf9Lc2TPu
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAHmoxNCdqdt
going.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAtW5qcARBb0
"That's insulting," said Jennie.1021Please respect copyright.PENANALgzEPzm0yO
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAYsu1N3UcNy
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAvinJRmceo1
I burst out laughing 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA4hkcG2CTMj
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAlNo4WnBCFH
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1zYkh5UB37
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAh1zYrTQfoA
other floors because that would surly be something.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAq2MxOyP2g8
"Good one, TOP," said 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAub5d7V1uhd
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 1021Please respect copyright.PENANACDD9HogLe2
have thought of that in a million years."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAbJZgvY3s93
Everyone continued to 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAUGIR4zFADa
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAic8TUYBQlv
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAND38oWvEKs
how annoyed she was.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3ELnprYQb7
"I can't believe you 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAi1VbzpCcW8
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4jx2b2hQA
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAU8xV3CgpMB
"Don't worry, Zoey," 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAV19isQHbUb
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a1021Please respect copyright.PENANAgMWlCzgu0X
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAj3KfrQGTyp
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAjBfIGSzAqj
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAoh0HHEPaZu
"I'll sting him so bad, 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAVPHIbscc7U
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at1021Please respect copyright.PENANA4JDgwiBeJL
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxU8kpHcGHa
"Oh, look, a stage," 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAqQnwvfxHVH
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ot7wGkM2P
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAU5vyookPl9
In the direction Daniel 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAKXIJmHtV0j
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAio5ym4AbCn
there and get up on it. We all followed him.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAl3YafpuCDh
"I've missed being on 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAfw3GBtmvpC
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAebPh1KPHQD
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAhKI1sa7siS
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAB9xYdn2qLB
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAnfIHBgVVAG
"We're just having fun,"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAUbM312elFC
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAn6PV0NXAOv
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAzGuXGrpHMS
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAZc5qPh4UnS
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAsGJ7IOwAHu
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAI1fxXc5Goh
The rest of us down the 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxToeO2SLlH
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAetKlo9PsWU
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAXO33CFuTFD
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAYD0uFjHoVC
side of him was a shocker.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAXGkGRzAmxq
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAlx56HgMS7u
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA7vW1MWC9ji
"Mum would be so proud,"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQyFG4wzINE
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAk8r7wGGShc
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAlXak42wrsV
"Haha, very funny," said1021Please respect copyright.PENANAdo2dg497CJ
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAY5QXoaB8NE
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANA281A60BwUx
I looked at Mike and he 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAqp1xqsTDEy
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAvZ9jgvd3Qh
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAGu82daM6cy
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ6P2tAPS5
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."1021Please respect copyright.PENANA6mDiJgQQKq
"I'm still not going to 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA8LiU9a3ZNl
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA6mNs1FpqLM
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."1021Please respect copyright.PENANA4bLnCX38p7
"I'll join you then," said Mino as he walked up on stage and then turned around to look at Zoey offering his hand to led her up.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAW486XNBUFH
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAreLwMb0hPv
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAEEOAFi3jZr
"No," she said still not1021Please respect copyright.PENANACW0tUIZA3y
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA0y5A6qW1cD
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1KsSFfWCOT
Everyone turned to look 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAnsK8s5vo5a
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA4Umbpr5xKV
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 1021Please respect copyright.PENANABAaVcNZkgB
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA8VQCoPSsJy
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger1021Please respect copyright.PENANAfFaZDVg2Fk
was to sweet talk her somehow.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAA8UvelwvxG
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAIBXb1UAo0T
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAd8pCYUz7JL
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAprGHmZUC21
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAiqfbLXCFGf
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAbeB4wChDAv
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAJrPtuXdk8o
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.1021Please respect copyright.PENANARPbZ6pJ4RZ
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0xhIxHKdE
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1TpWikNw6c
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA8pBhgZ7X7x
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAhTsI8Cmiyk
I snapped my fingers 1021Please respect copyright.PENANArOsku6zglh
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAKqYhLpH7Qz
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.1021Please respect copyright.PENANADzourt2VF2
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAgeFfPdyfWX
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAkvEkmqelsI
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAejsN18i30q
Lisa: You're sweet like 1021Please respect copyright.PENANASly4veUvlL
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]1021Please respect copyright.PENANAISc4jnnA6e
Jennie: You're sweet like 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAdSWsOoe4jJ
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAYtbjrGlUCe
We all ended up giving a1021Please respect copyright.PENANAKCwf0DBJvZ
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAMNjzQhKqEA
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAhVdG48N89N
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 1021Please respect copyright.PENANArsouD25sOj
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAI1GHUeWgqV
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1tnuA5OJNn
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAV59gKrjHpM
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxy2W2i1nMx
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAzDAkmPAbzH
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAuzDUZmoWBC
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1gY7q4C7ED
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAAq40PUXI1g
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA7AqJAMVoiu
Im a fan all day.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAIpFfem5dAq
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA90OfLRdUAA
My manage behavior; Im into your major.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAixFZjVhwza
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA8BC7rZ2hB4
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:1021Please respect copyright.PENANAnzqitu1eGz
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAomDMwbmeCk
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAllHN8VbyAJ
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAsSgXKHnFwi
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAeb6CJ9R4Ov
The three couples on 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAXdontJEfl9
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And1021Please respect copyright.PENANAHzgeDYrdLO
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA6I4xhFMqSa
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA67hq2cNHaQ
three couples surrounding me in a circle.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAmfTWz7oQiW
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]1021Please respect copyright.PENANA7vZtVAOlOu
This candy got you sprung [x2]1021Please respect copyright.PENANADaf6YS2nJY
So call me your sugar [x2]1021Please respect copyright.PENANAAUGWVphPtQ
You love you some [x2]1021Please respect copyright.PENANAvLDcQLP03c
I'm sweet like 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAurZEzG4uhf
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1021Please respect copyright.PENANADgcTiguMVE
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]1021Please respect copyright.PENANA5llzW9ihQu
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1021Please respect copyright.PENANAGf0eFu45ze
Sugar1021Please respect copyright.PENANAiKGDK1e2bT
Seunghoon came up on 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAitLHsxbxgX
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAeOzT7tdq7v
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.1021Please respect copyright.PENANASh3PziSrhW
Down stage, Seungyoon 1021Please respect copyright.PENANATwRYpY1ECX
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3NWqarplqc
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAL9To8FRuZK
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAFRaUP3Yb7U
all did that simultaneously was awesome.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAmxFOciuAo3
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.1021Please respect copyright.PENANABzcTl0LSXW
All: My lips like sugar (x2)1021Please respect copyright.PENANATj0NrnfQSG
This candy got you sprung (x2)1021Please respect copyright.PENANAynwjA6tKnH
So call me your sugar (x2)1021Please respect copyright.PENANADZW9bq1cUc
You love you some (x2)1021Please respect copyright.PENANAMiCiEfpp1W
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)1021Please respect copyright.PENANAumB9yln5rw
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 1021Please respect copyright.PENANADZHrxQuW3x
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1021Please respect copyright.PENANAShDpv59aeS
Sugar 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAIxd08TQErz
I1021Please respect copyright.PENANASiRogNzZDk
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA6fAFEHAApg
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAy3FKyykquo
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAoTBedHeGNY
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1JVLFgiDR8
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAB9vsn6BsVL
Onlookers1021Please respect copyright.PENANAUKtVAulll4
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAnbJ4c5ARx5
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3EyDLy1DEO
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxjyFX1OQSJ
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAYB3zqohcG5
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAPA9pXl2G84
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAO9tU8Pyv0p
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAoCOb2HHSjt
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAXF4rQrhud4
"Ya, we really should," I answered.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAiuNWkIyigf
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAnMFCzjIbSR
"Take a bow," I said.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8illb7Ohz
Zoey who stood next to 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAIC5ZacH8jN
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAEqaJrVp0bO
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took1021Please respect copyright.PENANAdA4c4TvtC5
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down1021Please respect copyright.PENANA4U4H3HgXN9
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAp1TlJ5l45Z
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAm05YPJbY7O
"Well, this just got 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA7SM4sJADtw
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAMz9tGTmlC0
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1EOOZxuY4w
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAInDFjyRIv6
The way Mike said it 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAhjgPBgsKtR
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAHaofqJEOLA
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAlIUM2Q23jF
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1sKnFG77r
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3VVBK8jqZw
When I got down from the1021Please respect copyright.PENANAzssBhKot93
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAw864k4yXrb
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1iTpRdIl9k
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I1021Please respect copyright.PENANASKNjiBBbwp
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.1021Please respect copyright.PENANACd5dbMVWHM
"Well, you guys sure 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAEXeXsbOic6
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAj649T2ROdN
had to warn the security before I could even get here."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAOn7HI8CwnO
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAt1iaXWO0h4
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't1021Please respect copyright.PENANAIlqj9CEbdG
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAFgMp0NKZ7O
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAy086RdbPpT
"We just missed you, 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAZPGhAxj58F
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQVpxBsVonM
with us but these past days you haven't."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAr9GSfQ2mMg
"You're right and I miss all of you too. Been caught up with work. And now, you have all given me a much bigger mess to clean."1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3ShjS0xMp2
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAkYuChW04li
"He would've called by 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAe0ySSgfALF
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAVk8TXHAdJP
no calls from the grim reapers yet."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAl6dZuuyu7X
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAlmjJt0RHLh
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAUxlwVHLf5m
Immediately Lee focused 1021Please respect copyright.PENANApq8so4jqRk
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone1021Please respect copyright.PENANAlCyXqqOhNJ
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3nJ30ETpeW
couldn't blame them.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAJsR1mjL6rf
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAiS4l6KFwgn
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAW2Y4QewWG7
"How1021Please respect copyright.PENANAC8nxgWyDSA
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxUR4JLpVxx
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into1021Please respect copyright.PENANAIy3hDseao7
your own dance hall."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAnjiHAb97Sq
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1IR9qPtSM8
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAP5WnImibyc
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAqkxJ0nNAxF
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....1021Please respect copyright.PENANAqw4nvZXPZn
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAtCh6maweFH
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA2dOngK0xwP
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQIlkbZuejI
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."1021Please respect copyright.PENANADXbxYQFxc3
"No,1021Please respect copyright.PENANAMkSbttFAoX
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAScazQw40de
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell1021Please respect copyright.PENANAFcgi7WuOyt
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAg6kPXMEKV7
"That would have been nice," said Mike with a stupid grin on his face. I threw him a look and the smile fell right away.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ2zFSwwGI
"No, we met them today," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Seunghoon and looked at him. "You hid in the girl's closet?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANABYLizJSJeF
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAJFCJPJ6QXz
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAkojqcVts1x
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAAEd8EDGLAP
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAhfqlYvfUkA
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAsOyZobJDg6
I1021Please respect copyright.PENANA0bBuvauMNh
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAN9lcmDUMkV
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAmkwTcPE9e6
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it1021Please respect copyright.PENANAFNkHdVU4SF
was a lot to take in.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAFTv1qHR9EZ
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAswXVikYHpZ
"That's1021Please respect copyright.PENANAUR2MW8Fpxi
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAL8F7R02IRa
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA4DDrNNIeio
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA8XNyVOSsDd
still find out anyway."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAZcf98vg5Op
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAt3yGSDEYB5
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAjHBYeSl0kG
Everyone1021Please respect copyright.PENANAgtiIVbCG71
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAiHxKYLJX62
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 1021Please respect copyright.PENANADJvqDrGmtT
somehow the anxiety was killing me.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAKkMHgzp9yu
After1021Please respect copyright.PENANAIxsg56NMMS
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan1021Please respect copyright.PENANAQZeIUfVLdZ
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the1021Please respect copyright.PENANALRKPtlT1CU
food court when Lee asked:1021Please respect copyright.PENANAxToRczUSUW
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAcsIXfBf765
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAhw8vHqSHSR
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAWv8D1efxLi
"You1021Please respect copyright.PENANAVqo9cakCfw
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAWzLYytY3KB
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA9oUgBbGfzQ
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAcf5FCjTfv9
"I1021Please respect copyright.PENANAcGMhlqL4Tv
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 1021Please respect copyright.PENANApCCrY1JNd6
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA0d0SdIdNxO
okay."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAiflKQ3zR0i
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3tpHoiyJUx
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAWHaDZBY9ta
"You1021Please respect copyright.PENANADXSvxwulTn
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAIwO0rB65Xw
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAunWUYOciXA
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAdoYcN4um4I
don't know up to now."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAplWw4VlYxi
"BTW1021Please respect copyright.PENANAGdDgNcEzde
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I1021Please respect copyright.PENANAM7rvIe5RsQ
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3MtGNI1btB
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA50G6RPfChS
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAbdRh5BsFqa
"I1021Please respect copyright.PENANATJTsaNMAkK
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAkXBM4MLNnM
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAK1ylzarPQP
normal human perspective."1021Please respect copyright.PENANA0vAd61CT35
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAgzzwMtLxT1
"I think she is," said TOP.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAOXWt1B3cmg
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.1021Please respect copyright.PENANABypyVmZDYK
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAnGM9CNtQyg
Zoey1021Please respect copyright.PENANAoe0znAe7Wj
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 1021Please respect copyright.PENANA2ehaSwjirI
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAgCvggcpQDO
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"1021Please respect copyright.PENANAYHsyjRsTyp
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAmrSHqY85AA
Before1021Please respect copyright.PENANAdAekgLkBSS
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she1021Please respect copyright.PENANAdCDdV0CnM6
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAgZa1S1Evf9
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAK3Anuslm59
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.1021Please respect copyright.PENANADzle44kEeI
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA3DTollsgtK
The1021Please respect copyright.PENANA5KzXHSDVjE
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAwnfP1Jle17
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAEbXDphlMsP
would never stop fighting no matter what.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAt41ODcJlMQ
"I1021Please respect copyright.PENANASSBIuFTohb
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a1021Please respect copyright.PENANA1BOeKFFE7X
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAb615sf81Bw
it's full of drama too."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAtY0gHDzOwH
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAlnQQqxrY4z
"Do1021Please respect copyright.PENANAOTQRykhcut
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAvhEQwUdnCi
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 1021Please respect copyright.PENANATLo3zVxmej
court.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAJfxbwdXvek
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAbWht4KB3DO
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAKFs2AszqmM
"I hope so too," said Christine.1021Please respect copyright.PENANAV0uy85qm13
"Come1021Please respect copyright.PENANAmpvKAt1LMW
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 1021Please respect copyright.PENANARiSUUVH4af
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."1021Please respect copyright.PENANAVDjIIK9hkJ
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.1021Please respect copyright.PENANATXNVKZK09V
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.1021Please respect copyright.PENANA01q1tcY9yg
As1021Please respect copyright.PENANAiH90RnJJLa
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning1021Please respect copyright.PENANAw0JbFiHLYa
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 1021Please respect copyright.PENANANxNf5BZnjq
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAMLGTROlbF1
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAvRx7eC62lk
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.1021Please respect copyright.PENANApdvkB4BZq4
I1021Please respect copyright.PENANAh4p2BGEpqN
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 1021Please respect copyright.PENANABAPsWR3d2L
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might1021Please respect copyright.PENANAdoSxaMwLm4
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 1021Please respect copyright.PENANAHmtxt3NM2h
of the blue may arise.1021Please respect copyright.PENANASbNJZ8rlrB
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
