Hanging out at Times 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vWnYH38Jh
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVXIodFYaI
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynRKeSdzft
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAlysMXp8I
But that didn't matter. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqrsE6vluN
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFD65UuJGi
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9XwmAbLCG
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfqC8Pdsk8
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4K4l62zLC
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky8UyHdTJo
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCZW2hNp3b
actually played around with the adorable kids.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7jPTSVM0Z
There were plenty of 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9HWtO2kXN
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXIjUXU7XB
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ctlkrZHgJ
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv0oTqfFVa
fans too.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO0WCfQDNH
The time we were done 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabjKtBa4GI
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LNHcDVVF8
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nWFQkzgb7
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMBQUsGAGu
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWqqy3hZK6
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdRWHsywMH
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34BdrXcHW2
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jvVSYAulP
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnrj3eIpFs
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65P0zJOJbo
previous day, of course.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoShuUwjkSp
As much as the managers 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqxMDXhrvy
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDzqXI21eN
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4s1pjT1RA
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV8sArqLlT
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq2ULqs4mo
Right now, this very 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqDC4Px5NZ
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuhQcrXoV4
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR77TmblNo
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDsLNRbAW7
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhPfXwn5R0
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRg0WivSMg
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAJT97DODe
and I just couldn't take it.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EtdxxcmOf
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3avQ37J7DB
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDdtjIrzmu
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrwfw5EhfU
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4IGctlJHP
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcBDuCobbA
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HrnaDf2ZO
"I thought you said your plan would work."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsIBNiekAK
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt8bXVVUtU
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfJki7LHK8
I felt like slapping my 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZqpXqGlZb
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrdDrngre2
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d3PVBKmhX
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkt3SRclc5
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjVNDnwo9U
off.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisgLUYuc8H
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfJq1sdRKK
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxmFdVtCEh
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh1sjhmFBo
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4elCffJJv
I shrugged. She read my 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCY60R8csK
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzki8s5OtJ
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBhFZoe188
me the whole time."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8vYdmCGdP
I sat down on my bed as 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rh4YdDETr
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYFWVd0k4m
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseg8u3GA6u
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjpS3v09XB
"Gosh, you really should1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kZucYRUwS
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV9LSwlXrn
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTPVZEMwsU
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0pbLq8MId
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIagnhAibAj
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SVZSwfoHc
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH37qHN2yVw
"Mike is annoying 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHn4LujngE
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmZEBEBRO6
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SKUPxLQvx
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhMaSwzSr3
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEKAvt3HCi
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAocuH3qSYl
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86AObzL4Pv
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXyIG1Cupz
"Sorry, but just so you 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLzWmzy0yd
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgx2T4Abiz
that pic of you and him together."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzILbkuAWoy
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw0iZ0Sinw
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0j8tYCxax
I blushed and at the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl3si2DfUW
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMxZR9NL75
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FAzRqb2hL
other hidden agenda.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew8bIWqyrY
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKUFRtIz2U
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznQOkWoXI3
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81kcTvgdbN
I sighed in surrender. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27xxmgqdv0
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhn2bDZOY4
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3FX8L2vbY
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGqqdZYdyl
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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTu2h0UpFe
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRPYPSaFKM
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ6V7hi3HE
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuJ07zQ869
Zoey had an excited look1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDwyOYe4Vk
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMwbMexqTK
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbtkMmZfqp
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kso4MgXbs
clearly show all over her face.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOOOtoqtbT
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhaO2b89Yn
I shook my head. "And?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZORdQRvS1
Zoey folded her arms, 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAutAsVRjNv
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWUBAJ0tC8
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFfSv4r05G
"Hold that thought. This1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32QNVFR8lI
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwvkB8DKPJ
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXS9cqpKrG
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51G3vuy2wx
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XT8k27wBL
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fgcFzOIix
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerb64KL49Y
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oV4E4vMhe
"Well, he hid in our closet."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6BJkY0MVJ
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLN7bZoJTl
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4RZVRhVSG
"Ya, why?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBnLEgqAIR
"Looks like we just 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJGJL00RLQ
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SRueGIHcR
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tWN9uEXwM
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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs6fBHv9E6
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpMIkfc6Qj
"What do you mean? You 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLECwgcow3i
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5UPJ1EGHl
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKMblgqHOG
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3KmQJMRQL
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDXfDmSlY2
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAOyIfFf2I
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SXBRrF0Th
"I wanted to but I kept 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCUNqa3d8P
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABCj0o1EvV
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iBOQDUzox
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI9k8pJV1c
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcoK3NRJ3b
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K74e3UIaB
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7GAFwQ6z7
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcjHEWz3y6
I quickly stood up and 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuUOzz0vXU
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l5gIdFB6q
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF87DehgL0
her back.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLILHXTcFn
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lrOMc82Y5
"Zoey, you're going to 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsrqX54jB1
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYRsHCLOFz
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WhgFufevn
own hair pink in the next ten years."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvr8jaJ8we
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Yy71AIbA
"You're lying."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jhscc6JbR
"I'm telling the truth!"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroOinI3uE2
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVeRcjx1FE
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIdJYtbecn
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBsmQ7rzBh
"I can't tell you that."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGdwrFbUbJ
"Why?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQhur6tPaX
"Because it's 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXaLaHQFJu
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcxrz1DqeW
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa8sNbx2hv
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbfaZUBVN5
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlPpYBKtkQ
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX6ipMXNWk
"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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CGKMnx3Lm
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF07IqvVQW
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpHC6R4Jvg
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEtPoSf581
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWVR7BxeWv
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafblmFKnNS
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNXrO8eeCD
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFWS5fasH8
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rS04rIOid
I playfully rolled my 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxgRd45nT5
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrmOFbMX0n
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0hbhR8Ql6
also looked worried.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ271usn07i9
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rj1zGL9Oa
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHUqrt5kgP
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7m3YhS42k
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUOr87EO0r
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGeXbfL3tF
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPjtDwG9HH
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08ekeNrQa0
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPLdj9Mgr6
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYmehPl1zp
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr53ntoqRl
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB8yMdd1DJ
"Okay, first of all," 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW04JEsSJ8C
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwFlBlgr3i
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnA7m007Zu
he wasn't mad at you."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRQqUtYvyi
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc75KgbDXEd
"That, he couldn't say."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeIe6YDVek
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAPDKRxjUE
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnuMfFZeYB
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbgFFLLrj9
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GCQajE8cO
Christine pressed the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVKV3oTRNN
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPRuEEWpP8
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV7gme32cp
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWHvh2ZRm2
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbB0XH3GVS
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRd0ib6Xyk
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXOtVVdS4B
We got to YG right on 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm7kVfZZxj
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWgH5HLI9k
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aGiCe8dob
arrived a few seconds earlier.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBywy6O0uLO
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pIe8FcMGF
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF7tzKMAvW
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVluXbNzzSG
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnhscGeZNv
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7eUUsz3wY
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZgN1VX1Bg
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYNxHUdaZt
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYvhOM4y0j
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFfZDBpB1j
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGip4GL3Vh
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKVLdkVMwT
"There will be no such 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hjnXHJwwL
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNhw2xKfGu
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizuRwFiGvw
"And you're making it 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ZDqgRt7i
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLg2FHTnS6
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRsViDjyDi
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEnCpDhBhA
"Trust me, you don't 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNGQm3Vc6y
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ759ggcu5Ct
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4LCLqD9rg
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGXIdyivwq
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX6T7R32IQ
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrAHcCD9uH
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwqLC4izWj
"Look, whether they are 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYV0diBZuw
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFus0AlxSj
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZGQOpgpYo
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI23ppEJnV
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBSlQjZ60J
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczkuEOrdiI
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwvYCn4KEp
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2iCFwxkQW
I gave Lee a sad smile 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4IXAXR7hb
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl87OFDfX2N
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnWUaapbWR
your life. Like suicide.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XYEio2M66
We started our way 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ7eSgqFxA
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj5GjabAPz
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxNetvgZMX
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nGUcYtvEz
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK2xAPSaSQ
I quickly ran out of the1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvqcO4yoU7
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSf64lnHWi
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X9nSXST4s
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBRUmdzMTS
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nVAorY9KV
check for it inside.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5VBXGWfLc
When I got to the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTxC0sSFgP
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxnyfjytXa
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph1z2Tip0Y
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZB7Uqe6r6
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrqHD41HXj
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfEYMvDJj9
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqq3ySRjIk
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVgv9rJ1Er
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0fXVMeyBx
"Seriously, I can sue 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirPYEAxymy
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxEWLVr66s
fast. I never even heard him coming.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BgjpuGJAF
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6wUdCCBEF
"You're not my bodyguard1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZarwKvako
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWg48uOkD3
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85gowaPI6k
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zBPb6kxHN
I blushed. "You know about that?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDV9RzkT00
"Everyone knows you have1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD4Cof5AyY
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt9tNao82v
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBKQBwHGPB
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5TKFqghOe
"Looks like I did the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHS2VkGv6Q
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiEu8i8YhJ
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuanryNteeq
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4fzAPveWo
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72EeFH0GJ9
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPnPfLBxSL
"And because you're a 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OTBgKKxiH
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Fio2XRSQ
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdP2PrSvg8
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMfUGVWmV5
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkuKRJTdqk
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yFDe0KyMc
"Can you at least tell 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5hm2geShX
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lPQf2wyn3
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq5tghnZ6G
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82H9dzOUeT
"What dramatic effect?" 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSHS4Js1sI
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYQfFyuicv
came closer. I took a warning step back.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vdIrNzrdN
"If you hadn't followed 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWFA85k4lS
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkFQwrh6V8
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1S3pNCpee
room."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviEVf6CMyg
"What surprise?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1h6S4qQ2K
The elevator stopped and1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfoPfEqqDk
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZkGd15FgN
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Ep3DXOTO
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa0j0LpPmF
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM3KwvU8fe
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB8GnykHKG
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiL3e58JBp
"I already have a guess," I said.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8IYTwOtSs
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizQZleUlGY
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnuQAoop6J
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6U7Css95Y
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzvLlxA1mI
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDBwMCtMLJ
When we reached the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FppZViywB
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ4BOHbXMP
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykCYh6KWRT
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZNJrUPbqj
In the conference room 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuT87yOh80
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M85FMkfzp
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCFKWIjS2q
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0tnb5R6MO
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSs3cjdGPz
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCmUEXJy7x
though I did my best not to show it.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3PKD4Du4E
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx16PQsjyTc
I looked to the opposite1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x0HE5PNRo
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0GmKkgtWM
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9GOlu2itk
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgqwEkSdRe
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMfcyCkoCk
G-Dragon quickly turned 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoDckYbPio
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOJCR2Jk7O
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V4caBUcWr
"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?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOoWNXPAwE
"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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFU778vckM
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy8iJrs7Jf
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxkQaVzSQl
"Wait," said Lisa who 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR9iiskQrN
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmarnmsyGdq
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaPr1QZfcc
"It felt simple and 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7aqBk6IvU
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YtpzsG0Wn
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBgGgotjCh
with G-Dragon today."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9FQqLwYwg
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8L5toXRy4
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcMdC7HVnY
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0y9sivZne
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSi7aL4NhX
"Ya, I know I'm a 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBEb6nQ1En
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx7j3nM9r2
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYNJVi2rh5
"If you mean us getting 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhyfP0rfgB
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP7nberxuc
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UUj9QeByA
by coincidence."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVRXBWB09i
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYoeQT09LW
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zxrz7RnSg
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6SifkSpnS
The rest of the BTW crew1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVHzn9P1FE
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH5YLZaQ09
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvN5LA9LTz
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9f6ldupq0
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTehccp78uL
"Hold up," said Zoey who1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirRIznXwzt
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezwS0jW0ot
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33MPVIhzi6
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY4J0JnK4n
"Told you we'll 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCOejEO8TN
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXHGX30EXi
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUDVYrBxs4
"But is he going to do 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmUo66cPLv
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasifrOeJkK
didn't really meet by coincidence."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70BbkKAPHg
There was silence in the1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnmZ68Z9pK
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV5ItjzNrg
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdjKE6Cevu
planning to do.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTgs1dwxYU
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK53tN14Ln
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMee9MIOhNG
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDjbKpYnfO
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1i3nXdLA7
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFCY5f4DMF
"And also because he's 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKj1G4LWYY
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8g4f8kOVY
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoSIhKRUB0
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH3nqsHiVF
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGcTuuTpt0
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4DHrlWiJE
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBhsCkvw6t
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOByRpvfk3J
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DHvpszWtH
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyTVvmfXum
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo3KN2jUPA
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw00vok4V75
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBODZ1CoX8d
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl3ixA3miG
deal with G-Dragon instead.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDOztOaxqn
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw80f1Qcxv
"What do you want?" I asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7muwsoo8U
G-Dragon looked at me as1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMGDJYNta6
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uu28CzhvP
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcS9Oc8tA5
came to any conclusions.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRXbF9cnbc
"To make things clear 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XO0cVENC8
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJpiqO9pEs
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfrdDBmckE
thinking about doing the same thing."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAQiMGGGhZ
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF4dtZxMKm
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Mi7Y2DbP
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo6XZmPQ51
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0cpyN9YOm
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29G8t2S7dp
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwg9bpxLJc
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Pia4VGHx
"All's fair in love and 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ulaPxC3r
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9ln1zY96j
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun5NK8O6Xq
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLbszy1T6c
"Come on," Christine 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTzbPnnfU7
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1ULpveNF7
won't be here for long and you know it."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyAECmHXnm
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboOtlOA5Aq
"BTW is nothing but a 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jgALw5kGi
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP3Ppd69aW
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQM9QPplMJ
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxLRGG1iX6
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFRP17DI2L
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZzpfavGjd
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGgo28i8mg
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP2AIOMBBa
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesAyxK3Tyb
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ4eQmKCAT
"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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4WzI1HJJl
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7MqswNclF
Upon saying that, the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzh3qbHW0S
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0DQDjtSNM
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VPGxa6TeZ
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAMWUj9kcE
seated stood up.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASQ41V5SfX
I gulped. I hope the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jcXfDuXVb
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ62ZJlwAW
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGzfyzTgki
The two managers had 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mJ73D0yl9
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACcrGKXt8E
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zWp3ymZVe
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Vwxg748U
is wrong.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZqkds7o5j
"Good that you're all 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdrjmLR6mg
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwAgsGIhGy
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKcwyDuLUw
I have always hated it 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB0PjiPgfK
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqktVZm3Lv
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKPpryVPg0
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Th9ezvJOk
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFbbHpxpoF
their seats.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDOeAjwvUM
The two managers and Lee1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJPHQvSXGN
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKXpP1MvNz
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNkdswKaM6
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtThLEs8jN
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoVNdeNKDi
was.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03x94GLOSC
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPelfAjEj1
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TQCeGKKjt
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WKMPT4YHB
Zoey sighed loudly in 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJVAGCoRf3
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoCLSIge05
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HD2CbK45P
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXAUteNV7y
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUeMLdWDTE
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZH7EVlI8H
The two managers 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbdO7GPkp3
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4XUWJcGkm
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb29ZiXI4Gf
That was so not cool.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImY3UESDPW
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OUjMXyQ0H
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM2wQ3sL6e
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcfWyLnXHH
My ears perked up when 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zMrNSuWCZ
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArq4vw52i8
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEczt5EZAQ
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucWNTecBMx
"We heard you outside 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKre7LT48WD
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxnZ75VIEW
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tacze08DT
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKchDa4wyU
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL3dfhW7kt
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORViB3YbU8
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvyTFe8eXl
through further scrutiny about this decision."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf7AKB9BRh
I smiled. Even if they 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCjCLKMV95
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC4hKIxO0n
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MhxdTwBwH
There was an exciting 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnb1rM3cm6
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yzuefYhRi
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzitQIBhm5k
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkYEYIz3Aw
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCgHwrM4NA
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sDDw1ZG08
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJpk0Oc1zU
I turned to my other 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1VVNMYSda
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex2RLCgD7t
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf71BCz3xSj
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPIvAIIwPI
now, didn't matter.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTMnzYtVYJ
"You heard them when 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlgG30NXY8
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRxjehJ3O3
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAyw2R6ov9
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrK0l8jbrw
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuTYYZrIdX
"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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQTE0MJM2G
This time it was me, or I1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXC10CMMK4
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDteqe5qIE1
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXix8rr0C6P
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl8iSS1Tcb
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ515QmuexEb
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OodQp6nd5
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWua8rSisnS
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq1AjM175D
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl7Lxk9Fxu
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3DpvtZVUf
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugiktkR0NU
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqTUmj27Zn
"We all agree," said Daniel.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrg9l3D1ur
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvZ1f5ErUF
"But just because it 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX61WsOQw3
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14NWNx8vv2
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadRi4C7dX1
"Okay, so that's settled1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvaCtOwNcV
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQMat6xVN3
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWTwTAC2co
BTW official."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QDaaLiOaQ
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn5AX2nbLh
I noticed that most of 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l82XXfBWb
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtg04NM1Lb
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsj7RK2rp3
when she looked at me and I grinned.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQS10517hG
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP5hfNGBwI
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ZMDAuoWR
"Before we make BTW 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDIMqwsrpZ
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzFC3cl2gw
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKZIgBGc5u
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCkoQun48g
low for a while. Is that good?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2iG5ArCEe
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn4KBdgi5A
"That's fair enough," 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ59dFuDCWp
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQHdyaeqss
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoDj1Q1hdB
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG9jJN1Gly
so."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEIaQ52TC2
"So you want to crush 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIGoqJ6heJ
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8GQXmF6CB
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEClILsbhbv
strategy."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp558xaig1
"Then if all is well and1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIvrYZEbHP
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M06tekkgL
updated and not a word on social media."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ0JfSHpyR
I stood up from my seat 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzpHflKVQB
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShC0SE2gVf
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a5Saus9iG
walk out, I stopped them.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs0urBkG08
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFTwliNOyi
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriztAp31s9
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4lhjE9CeC
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbUJCLVkDA
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzqJDZByaB
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5mrhZpBNJ
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJm8Ppsjcj
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8we0zZMsD
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOef4cFiWUt
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsLxc5mtHj
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXAk6Utr9m
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegkB1HaPtG
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCovqjUI9RK
"This is like the best 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eaM8kBRvF
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ikvkc5vy
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjGL9GDh6N
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDSPyjupKT
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPjO0lLyAM
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oPMGfUJlK
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD2QNnu4MU
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY5M6c5dPh
"I knew there was a 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ZuCRrVRU
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL1Qm1ssQ6
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtVQkulsFW
G-Dragon.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd82inUlh1c
"You knew?" Christine asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMi4OnfJtp
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdwm53Xq6I
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMC5lNortv
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsfbH125Kf
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhiXezfRfy
"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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiipftGAbe
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN2DSHD0eU
"Well, you guys can tell1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtSJIK6Cnw
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP3FZRX9Tn
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2TVoKGu5K
aren't going to go into the same car."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB2riMjnRj
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1AFqWZWEN
Everyone else started to1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhnlgPM3NF
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CbAd1TrC9
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJtLxTTuYJ
only G-Dragon and I.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz590cndLs
"I'm mad at you," I started.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh6OLpAElk
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLSxoKvmoo
"Save it." I held my 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLLGxryL9i
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AUamYhSqQ
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xoYNJb7d8
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdzOTAFxGG
a war again."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC7m4fRXQN
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjYNQCpr9I
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCj7Qwuq3a
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCCNNKfGGv
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr6Qzi5zUj
G-Dragon looked at me 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwtLiZhXHa
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoGTRD7UIO
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz1uK4j5rU
stab in the heart.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwNo5BlTOh
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePZTiyXGLm
"You know, the others 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQCRHmSPdA
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudme3aYg03
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm6raCi5Wx
with WINNER yesterday."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfaJNtaGT7
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJLZ0jCoKc
I nodded my head. What I1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpPJPqp5mX
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOh8HlMIxX
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hxrcXeL36
of Seunghoon and I.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoIh9f8ZZy
"You know you and I can 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWRLLD9Vwz
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHawid5ngW
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKOfcBfYrA
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuftDYwJO9
down the rocks."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wzDKL6CI0
I headed for the door 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmxxnu6wAa
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h1NSt1RBb
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4tmXLurfN
Zoey, waiting.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8IDgMZp6V
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFISChIqrD0
"I sure hope so," I said1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGmh38UQoj
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxG7z2HdSo
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar0x9kmKvo
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfEjq2HD9j
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrTPHgc0ON
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDbgYKZzBw
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQkqWtnMz2
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztZjAyNju3
"You know computers are 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZwbwRj4kg
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2ojVJvFu7
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LieyFAsc3
supposed to."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfnwxnRWvi
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhmYfde8ke
I smiled. "You always call me that."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WqC48vx5p
"Ya, because you're smart too."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LqHVtDAgg
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwTzSG14A9
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TCEmDybwl
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtaz1QINeW
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oAEkJ8vty
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ugPTMybn8
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
