Lee's P.O.V885Please respect copyright.PENANAkILNrUnodS
I was so tired as I sat 885Please respect copyright.PENANAbECDRpaIWy
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 885Please respect copyright.PENANAK7QUrPdZ87
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 885Please respect copyright.PENANATs8db6fplW
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 885Please respect copyright.PENANAp4rTANIXva
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 885Please respect copyright.PENANAaKQPEgBKt4
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.885Please respect copyright.PENANAHqGarrslXA
The past two days have 885Please respect copyright.PENANA4i5jGPD6UC
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 885Please respect copyright.PENANAe5WA1XGK01
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 885Please respect copyright.PENANAWjLUSRWJzZ
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being885Please respect copyright.PENANAjEu65YHXmu
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 885Please respect copyright.PENANAXWxeP4NeTr
complain.885Please respect copyright.PENANASRPzYOwybV
Why should I complain? 885Please respect copyright.PENANAWspjws7XN4
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when885Please respect copyright.PENANAztK6hJtBBV
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 885Please respect copyright.PENANAatqxJ4Wr6C
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.885Please respect copyright.PENANAf8CJQPh9Rc
I really love my job. 885Please respect copyright.PENANAGz4vjZF6rZ
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.885Please respect copyright.PENANAzOgKGIZsUX
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 885Please respect copyright.PENANAFaIRyMd9GG
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.885Please respect copyright.PENANApBQhbWtcGV
Collins is strict and 885Please respect copyright.PENANA8y9yK9rJBq
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 885Please respect copyright.PENANAoRMO5mEnn1
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 885Please respect copyright.PENANA3S66Nz6L9x
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only885Please respect copyright.PENANAWR8r9Lym7J
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set885Please respect copyright.PENANA3b8i3ij0Fm
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 885Please respect copyright.PENANAHFZPjDacx0
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends885Please respect copyright.PENANAohMml7Q26M
over the years.885Please respect copyright.PENANAaI8hZ544h4
And another reason I 885Please respect copyright.PENANAHnRI50XYNW
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected885Please respect copyright.PENANA9bKvXT2Owm
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 885Please respect copyright.PENANAsTyL78PdKx
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 885Please respect copyright.PENANAQED3EPyoAo
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 885Please respect copyright.PENANAEZCnp4c21m
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 885Please respect copyright.PENANA7tbZHe0jZA
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 885Please respect copyright.PENANAQbp8Pk1mAG
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 885Please respect copyright.PENANAfBBAeRWWGB
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's885Please respect copyright.PENANAMl2D1lMJEh
how they have managed to make it this far.885Please respect copyright.PENANAGDmBtFEUV5
As I remained seated and885Please respect copyright.PENANAaM4BPdpaE7
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much885Please respect copyright.PENANALiM7SF7mFH
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 885Please respect copyright.PENANANyEwzQPsfw
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 885Please respect copyright.PENANAMCFt3sum5D
like that at all.885Please respect copyright.PENANA6yQCuFXNtR
Not that I'm acting like885Please respect copyright.PENANAr5J58KVrpm
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 885Please respect copyright.PENANADgbESSKJWC
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 885Please respect copyright.PENANAzynGAWFkSP
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 885Please respect copyright.PENANAIdn43gePzm
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to885Please respect copyright.PENANAhfCmY0bmib
help in any way I can.885Please respect copyright.PENANAXhoryhySn7
I looked at the time on 885Please respect copyright.PENANAkM1OHSY99J
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 885Please respect copyright.PENANAIvSaLKkYaL
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.885Please respect copyright.PENANAFxC1NTyUyH
I quickly grabbed my 885Please respect copyright.PENANAjiscchyYom
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 885Please respect copyright.PENANAPpt9byqTgd
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.885Please respect copyright.PENANAqtKb2lrsUq
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.885Please respect copyright.PENANACXMTmSvsN1
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."885Please respect copyright.PENANAKmW6rTplTd
"Ya, we're done with practise."885Please respect copyright.PENANATTPPofNzUU
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.885Please respect copyright.PENANAa2TkaoNlLF
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"885Please respect copyright.PENANASjvJ7EP36I
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."885Please respect copyright.PENANAXEgbB5dVo8
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"885Please respect copyright.PENANArmcirxSEVE
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."885Please respect copyright.PENANAbUCnPL3MrT
Whatever ounce of 885Please respect copyright.PENANAsazD3Eh6U8
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 885Please respect copyright.PENANArlj1qsCt3O
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously885Please respect copyright.PENANApPdbRjrSVU
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.885Please respect copyright.PENANAlx8CSdCDgb
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.885Please respect copyright.PENANAssMlEqPl8L
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."885Please respect copyright.PENANA9ANppyLFRF
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."885Please respect copyright.PENANAQzXAAPJjoR
"Is Collins with you?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAHwntnJrpgz
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."885Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8bGvZBrqz
"Good. I've something else to tell you."885Please respect copyright.PENANAhIDK2tktVo
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAermAXQyFA1
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."885Please respect copyright.PENANAbf7xQ3Bo4r
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."885Please respect copyright.PENANAm23rSK1ZLN
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."885Please respect copyright.PENANAWPsMLvxFeg
"Tell me then," I insisted.885Please respect copyright.PENANA8av3MDJHfc
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."885Please respect copyright.PENANAmouMbmdYwA
"Did you and TOP kiss?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAN8DVtTOSQs
"What! No! No way!"885Please respect copyright.PENANAD9G74iIv5C
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."885Please respect copyright.PENANA97NfBjFTgk
"What makes you think that?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAawDzm0wAT5
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."885Please respect copyright.PENANAjcfjCehI7k
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."885Please respect copyright.PENANAnOSs9EYIaH
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAJR0vsxbPl9
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.885Please respect copyright.PENANAe5fLK9oZXR
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."885Please respect copyright.PENANAFTFXviwdHi
"Try me, Sam. I've been 885Please respect copyright.PENANAEQu8SWS7sk
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 885Please respect copyright.PENANAE13VN9XmSF
on that I won't be surprised this time around."885Please respect copyright.PENANABAiU3WFUlC
"No, Lee, this time it's different."885Please respect copyright.PENANA2Obt4DV7Tb
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."885Please respect copyright.PENANAGHfnj5YxWv
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."885Please respect copyright.PENANAWt0W79cLvM
Before Sam could say 885Please respect copyright.PENANAtFWoWSXixp
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 885Please respect copyright.PENANAzLzA8Zg4gi
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 885Please respect copyright.PENANAmIGOj6FEk8
quickly realised that it wasn't.885Please respect copyright.PENANAg9enbIXivV
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.885Please respect copyright.PENANAlR6dXgsbok
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.885Please respect copyright.PENANAUIAkgyL9gX
"What the what! Sam! 885Please respect copyright.PENANAV0Jzv7EAtk
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 885Please respect copyright.PENANAY9wKJYc2Cv
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.885Please respect copyright.PENANAXcxGZuK5n3
"Wait, hold on, give me a885Please respect copyright.PENANAkqz0CdnXT4
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 885Please respect copyright.PENANAwTNbCUfqQ9
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 885Please respect copyright.PENANAR1s9TNGRmq
tell you."885Please respect copyright.PENANATW0zwjCV0B
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAW89bibZX6M
"Seunghoon from WINNER."885Please respect copyright.PENANAZfUt2wEqVM
I thought the world 885Please respect copyright.PENANAk5L9XUpkvh
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt885Please respect copyright.PENANAGF0acYPt4e
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.885Please respect copyright.PENANAwhF9sp396g
"Sam, I'm going to faint885Please respect copyright.PENANAR6TCXw8Y1U
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 885Please respect copyright.PENANAspxPMYJvmn
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAeg9MFc2gEL
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."885Please respect copyright.PENANA21hk05qb5t
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."885Please respect copyright.PENANANyPDz7losQ
"I know, but I've a plan."885Please respect copyright.PENANAXXExGkudPg
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAOFc5X7L0mT
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."885Please respect copyright.PENANA9epyKWbJNH
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAdeaGklgixf
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."885Please respect copyright.PENANA9ClKur0FGC
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."885Please respect copyright.PENANA0IIROQsh2n
"Or you can just join in885Please respect copyright.PENANAzuBYRRU9QV
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 885Please respect copyright.PENANAsfxgpfQqwC
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."885Please respect copyright.PENANAQlJqtbuutd
"Okay, I'll be there. 885Please respect copyright.PENANAzGlcp5JsKm
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 885Please respect copyright.PENANAZlCHq2SssW
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 885Please respect copyright.PENANAM3aRf0R3lQ
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAys07Z45uZt
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."885Please respect copyright.PENANADA3qMDdaZH
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."885Please respect copyright.PENANApcQuajmN5H
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."885Please respect copyright.PENANAWYXj8qTmLC
"Alright, I'm on my way."885Please respect copyright.PENANAc3LIQ0s7DG
I quickly cut the call 885Please respect copyright.PENANA7enZmIqhCo
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 885Please respect copyright.PENANAwaf7qvmuiE
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 885Please respect copyright.PENANAHSjV0r2McD
the trending list, I was a little confused.885Please respect copyright.PENANArdvCuLtaTP
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.885Please respect copyright.PENANAREiMxA2LW1
***885Please respect copyright.PENANAo4elQgdV8X
Sam's P.O.V885Please respect copyright.PENANALTpORaacg6
I885Please respect copyright.PENANAj4uWbpTIjm
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 885Please respect copyright.PENANAsXy7ZNyKrV
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 885Please respect copyright.PENANAzQSa6MMRL9
the fans.885Please respect copyright.PENANAdhEowx1REp
Since885Please respect copyright.PENANANASseC1mBO
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 885Please respect copyright.PENANAPZNBUkwrtM
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 885Please respect copyright.PENANANz0JEGxsvS
massive Times Square complex.885Please respect copyright.PENANAAXsgpkUPHG
So885Please respect copyright.PENANArxZ2X0Nnv2
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 885Please respect copyright.PENANAP2gM2oVTfP
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 885Please respect copyright.PENANAJhtU0DUOmF
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 885Please respect copyright.PENANAGVCTiQQjiw
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 885Please respect copyright.PENANAsbrXsJdmaq
serious.885Please respect copyright.PENANAwnGDlEuted
"It's885Please respect copyright.PENANAuqiK2QktCQ
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 885Please respect copyright.PENANAmkEVQMIIz7
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 885Please respect copyright.PENANAgow79g1BmY
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."885Please respect copyright.PENANAMLP49kDl6K
I885Please respect copyright.PENANA4FTzGONeMk
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 885Please respect copyright.PENANAXgQ3smupEl
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 885Please respect copyright.PENANAO2YGzj5s0S
somewhat worrying.885Please respect copyright.PENANAyXHc1SmJ54
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."885Please respect copyright.PENANAlo1TZKwQ9I
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.885Please respect copyright.PENANAW0mDVGtQ9p
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."885Please respect copyright.PENANAcSSq2y3ulY
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.885Please respect copyright.PENANAZAJSDdUUEp
"You're right. I do."885Please respect copyright.PENANAsF0vPxfQiT
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.885Please respect copyright.PENANA4Kqsn9I1tB
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."885Please respect copyright.PENANATRUzUn3RvU
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.885Please respect copyright.PENANAs9mNSK6ZGo
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.885Please respect copyright.PENANAd8hSuVW0FC
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.885Please respect copyright.PENANAqYdxJ0RGaE
"You're885Please respect copyright.PENANAUuJupC7E2h
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 885Please respect copyright.PENANAt82RfU6efL
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 885Please respect copyright.PENANAJSsBEAipAx
around here."885Please respect copyright.PENANAdYgoDxkjIF
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.885Please respect copyright.PENANAdtda7BrKkd
"Who said we need to 885Please respect copyright.PENANA3beVnd31VV
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 885Please respect copyright.PENANA1vvrUxKfTz
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."885Please respect copyright.PENANAq5zswokxUt
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."885Please respect copyright.PENANAWn5FmpiQFn
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.885Please respect copyright.PENANAHtgGLd0HkA
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.885Please respect copyright.PENANAZMuBqtbCmm
"Where?" Zoey asked.885Please respect copyright.PENANAxGgLyhSheg
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAxpN1XIpGah
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.885Please respect copyright.PENANAgk1VMm9MMy
"Wait, a minute!" I 885Please respect copyright.PENANAWJe4qKHJsn
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 885Please respect copyright.PENANAdLeE0Hj5UO
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."885Please respect copyright.PENANAeXMAPjPr8s
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.885Please respect copyright.PENANAa10cjOu1Oc
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"885Please respect copyright.PENANAYqsT2tNQWx
"Did someone just say 885Please respect copyright.PENANAFzTSUwKuAQ
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 885Please respect copyright.PENANAj9zbxZaoO6
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"885Please respect copyright.PENANARgF1KUYyhY
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.885Please respect copyright.PENANAqSGmgIJlwE
"You're doing that thing885Please respect copyright.PENANAz0qRC1JRjg
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 885Please respect copyright.PENANAz862MF3rE1
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."885Please respect copyright.PENANAwIwmwTvr3D
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."885Please respect copyright.PENANAw7FvhrGcF4
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."885Please respect copyright.PENANANZ9cjau52C
"Ya, true," said Mike.885Please respect copyright.PENANAdEWAbsvGhJ
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAjnLv1QcUAb
"I'm not going to 885Please respect copyright.PENANAuMZu1KQMx3
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and885Please respect copyright.PENANAOtTbnulRWj
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."885Please respect copyright.PENANAedUQvMdImt
"No, I'm scared that 885Please respect copyright.PENANAsOXTNY2T15
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 885Please respect copyright.PENANAukg47ieWe8
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.885Please respect copyright.PENANANXsXb9gWKv
I looked at Zoey, then 885Please respect copyright.PENANAZoGarzh0QT
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 885Please respect copyright.PENANAzDoHPstdDY
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 885Please respect copyright.PENANAC66ZRNqf2G
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready885Please respect copyright.PENANADRpZ1skOFX
for that bumpy ride again.885Please respect copyright.PENANASaQ6zqjE88
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.885Please respect copyright.PENANAAunoU8AlTW
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.885Please respect copyright.PENANAWOuU5cuj6y
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.885Please respect copyright.PENANAQVIWKf74jJ
Daniel's mouth gaped 885Please respect copyright.PENANAQFtTVPFQkT
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 885Please respect copyright.PENANA0pNo3wl1Ch
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"885Please respect copyright.PENANAYCDSVXsQfn
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."885Please respect copyright.PENANA46xwrCShwr
"Well, I think we can 885Please respect copyright.PENANAm1JYi9rNXB
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so885Please respect copyright.PENANAD7zZloMBvq
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."885Please respect copyright.PENANA7iQrCGP6wk
"Same here," said Mino.885Please respect copyright.PENANAFj3NSzOU36
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAdMKkQjANv2
Everyone including me 885Please respect copyright.PENANAUasfvXhi8X
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 885Please respect copyright.PENANAaQSB105goF
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 885Please respect copyright.PENANAOH3WA1KpX7
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in885Please respect copyright.PENANAre8XADZtvh
Times Square.885Please respect copyright.PENANA34JZENXu6Z
"There's an open food 885Please respect copyright.PENANAprwMmVJFKx
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 885Please respect copyright.PENANA146QfOHl49
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.885Please respect copyright.PENANA6ptbH5iGMp
"Gosh, I've now realised885Please respect copyright.PENANAjpH9E4gbIj
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 885Please respect copyright.PENANAb92hXpudu3
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.885Please respect copyright.PENANA8WlSChe2Ab
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.885Please respect copyright.PENANAJVDC8XDtE5
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."885Please respect copyright.PENANApgRVx8GqmY
"No wonder you Toxins 885Please respect copyright.PENANAMrmSNVJ648
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 885Please respect copyright.PENANAokPyr8Ed66
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."885Please respect copyright.PENANA6Yn3rxbl6t
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.885Please respect copyright.PENANA6xH35lbOX1
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."885Please respect copyright.PENANAyPaQ0HBFXO
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."885Please respect copyright.PENANAxcD3IjGg2h
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.885Please respect copyright.PENANAWecOYvJT8Q
Zoey, Christine and the 885Please respect copyright.PENANAkZqONnUh7J
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 885Please respect copyright.PENANAKSNSoCkLlf
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 885Please respect copyright.PENANAL32bRpZPhr
going.885Please respect copyright.PENANAbMbyjCnQQV
"That's insulting," said Jennie.885Please respect copyright.PENANAyO65nP174m
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.885Please respect copyright.PENANANjmavXpyGG
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."885Please respect copyright.PENANAlyoV1kIjGO
I burst out laughing 885Please respect copyright.PENANA1LZlKIihug
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 885Please respect copyright.PENANACCvkDIh6ZM
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 885Please respect copyright.PENANAinZjfBjsIG
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 885Please respect copyright.PENANAx6Hs11EuXL
other floors because that would surly be something.885Please respect copyright.PENANAkTTicHt55B
"Good one, TOP," said 885Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6tq5gz11q
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 885Please respect copyright.PENANAyNAQZzfFVw
have thought of that in a million years."885Please respect copyright.PENANAaz1mxwmv4E
Everyone continued to 885Please respect copyright.PENANAH6AhKqXVI1
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 885Please respect copyright.PENANAX5HQTB1Shu
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 885Please respect copyright.PENANAili3Q3RmTW
how annoyed she was.885Please respect copyright.PENANACVPxWE4QnN
"I can't believe you 885Please respect copyright.PENANA9BDYGu9db2
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 885Please respect copyright.PENANAJHJpLefXPJ
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."885Please respect copyright.PENANARJ4GdITiG4
"Don't worry, Zoey," 885Please respect copyright.PENANAdPkzw697T1
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a885Please respect copyright.PENANAcrejdEdGWJ
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."885Please respect copyright.PENANAgbzF3KUzia
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."885Please respect copyright.PENANAm5KPDxiFWj
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."885Please respect copyright.PENANAvsy1mA0wQz
"I'll sting him so bad, 885Please respect copyright.PENANA7te7UqRnvh
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at885Please respect copyright.PENANAgbyWl2zG7Y
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.885Please respect copyright.PENANAA9QcoxaZiA
"Oh, look, a stage," 885Please respect copyright.PENANA8plt1jldad
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from885Please respect copyright.PENANAdyanBWF2TJ
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.885Please respect copyright.PENANA47hkMD85Xd
In the direction Daniel 885Please respect copyright.PENANAc6zKBKZEbj
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 885Please respect copyright.PENANApiWjakH6og
there and get up on it. We all followed him.885Please respect copyright.PENANAxEhTx3dUJs
"I've missed being on 885Please respect copyright.PENANAsLyF2GBIqW
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 885Please respect copyright.PENANA2zH194AAjc
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.885Please respect copyright.PENANAqb3ykvERMt
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.885Please respect copyright.PENANAuD2PEIOd2Q
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.885Please respect copyright.PENANAUVcPyDcgA8
"We're just having fun,"885Please respect copyright.PENANAKqLxJP6Kex
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.885Please respect copyright.PENANA1KL5YgjiX3
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 885Please respect copyright.PENANAoCJbmNcjr9
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 885Please respect copyright.PENANAfNJU5zVr63
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 885Please respect copyright.PENANA7jZSpoBI6o
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.885Please respect copyright.PENANAa82iExQhcH
The rest of us down the 885Please respect copyright.PENANAoRfWQhz8B4
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 885Please respect copyright.PENANAScAjtj8zfZ
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 885Please respect copyright.PENANAu68AJ26dfK
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 885Please respect copyright.PENANAaJP5J1qv0V
side of him was a shocker.885Please respect copyright.PENANARc7Iq0WFmX
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."885Please respect copyright.PENANAEgXJo1jYVa
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.885Please respect copyright.PENANAxz3Pnqz3QV
"Mum would be so proud,"885Please respect copyright.PENANAcZcoobnOgJ
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 885Please respect copyright.PENANAaEBKMTZ7Rv
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."885Please respect copyright.PENANAWA6MOzkFwT
"Haha, very funny," said885Please respect copyright.PENANApr67FIIbS3
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 885Please respect copyright.PENANAJxZuljsFmj
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAIxzrDDOffV
I looked at Mike and he 885Please respect copyright.PENANA42WC17ei4J
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 885Please respect copyright.PENANAW9QVy7VFpt
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 885Please respect copyright.PENANAraEa9vyHvd
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."885Please respect copyright.PENANApBrwk8maMp
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."885Please respect copyright.PENANAkCyWx9e5ac
"I'm still not going to 885Please respect copyright.PENANAS6Vr6M6sMQ
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 885Please respect copyright.PENANA474d8bBIMr
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."885Please respect copyright.PENANAhueCtsaC3D
"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.885Please respect copyright.PENANAwmpvzU4CsC
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.885Please respect copyright.PENANAaBFiyEUkju
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.885Please respect copyright.PENANARzRiAFCtZ3
"No," she said still not885Please respect copyright.PENANAiUQLGKe3bx
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 885Please respect copyright.PENANAPsYAbD24V2
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."885Please respect copyright.PENANA7XAWtnX58d
Everyone turned to look 885Please respect copyright.PENANA8Cv3zpS2JN
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 885Please respect copyright.PENANAuBAZ8zcVPT
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 885Please respect copyright.PENANAIVTajKIYfV
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 885Please respect copyright.PENANAtmGH3X9wH8
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger885Please respect copyright.PENANAVRvvt9dRUM
was to sweet talk her somehow.885Please respect copyright.PENANAinVOqYtdPi
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."885Please respect copyright.PENANAhyMxRY7XOr
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.885Please respect copyright.PENANAEHicRmSX42
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.885Please respect copyright.PENANAuL1yzX7fpM
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAFxOStzg17t
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.885Please respect copyright.PENANAF1LZZX9zMP
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."885Please respect copyright.PENANA03xflfg2gb
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.885Please respect copyright.PENANAXy3ru1ACtH
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.885Please respect copyright.PENANAMIZiDy0UwS
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.885Please respect copyright.PENANA6RFCggaveW
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.885Please respect copyright.PENANAdLXG1qbl6s
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.885Please respect copyright.PENANA2lT2PMvW38
I snapped my fingers 885Please respect copyright.PENANAMXPI9LtWyd
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 885Please respect copyright.PENANASJpKABdKyL
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.885Please respect copyright.PENANA6gsLqEcWtU
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 885Please respect copyright.PENANAttUVIB22YO
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.885Please respect copyright.PENANAZy0HYKAPOT
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 885Please respect copyright.PENANAj9BiSq2WIp
Lisa: You're sweet like 885Please respect copyright.PENANAAPkrmlN5Sg
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]885Please respect copyright.PENANA8ApMQ1XsZk
Jennie: You're sweet like 885Please respect copyright.PENANAWI1XssTsyt
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 885Please respect copyright.PENANAFEtuEpt2EC
We all ended up giving a885Please respect copyright.PENANAN7Dp7e9rhq
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 885Please respect copyright.PENANAd1YpkFDjvY
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 885Please respect copyright.PENANAac84JQLaLc
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 885Please respect copyright.PENANAvaBbPyS9SV
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 885Please respect copyright.PENANAnaRrXCjPfa
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.885Please respect copyright.PENANAOgUn0WNJ55
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.885Please respect copyright.PENANAUqjKCf5bdn
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.885Please respect copyright.PENANAO0ChEZ4keb
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.885Please respect copyright.PENANAuWlJNJTfMX
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.885Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8j0dmiok8
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.885Please respect copyright.PENANA6t819mouFf
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.885Please respect copyright.PENANAIfsCWX4VsK
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.885Please respect copyright.PENANAxWXhyWylay
Im a fan all day.885Please respect copyright.PENANAgUkJZbAph7
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.885Please respect copyright.PENANAmVGjMXqulD
My manage behavior; Im into your major.885Please respect copyright.PENANAwrIfHZIJWJ
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.885Please respect copyright.PENANAFL8inmmOyT
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:885Please respect copyright.PENANAUWL1GYKVb2
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.885Please respect copyright.PENANA2trQ9QlSsU
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.885Please respect copyright.PENANA8mHoySbOAJ
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.885Please respect copyright.PENANA35sTaQt0tL
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 885Please respect copyright.PENANAyh0WThzfax
The three couples on 885Please respect copyright.PENANAZqRahBFjUU
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And885Please respect copyright.PENANAmVhwGjpj8X
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 885Please respect copyright.PENANAMaM78JFXin
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 885Please respect copyright.PENANAhDIveVuqLM
three couples surrounding me in a circle.885Please respect copyright.PENANALAA51JaTVU
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]885Please respect copyright.PENANA2bItxmmk9i
This candy got you sprung [x2]885Please respect copyright.PENANAZjmZdM5P8e
So call me your sugar [x2]885Please respect copyright.PENANAgrQ8FXgbb3
You love you some [x2]885Please respect copyright.PENANAw0hEfcATMg
I'm sweet like 885Please respect copyright.PENANA5nYL7LMhQI
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 885Please respect copyright.PENANA7oU9NkvBuF
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]885Please respect copyright.PENANAxk1Psh0wfA
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di885Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1073Q4x8K
Sugar885Please respect copyright.PENANAMeUPJRQqYT
Seunghoon came up on 885Please respect copyright.PENANAoHflQ6KziJ
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 885Please respect copyright.PENANAnibTb4R0Cy
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.885Please respect copyright.PENANAVvZrv4Ko4q
Down stage, Seungyoon 885Please respect copyright.PENANA62yR66oCqx
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a885Please respect copyright.PENANAuxSmKwkEa8
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 885Please respect copyright.PENANA6Yt22ixuKJ
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 885Please respect copyright.PENANAW78k1mNZ9S
all did that simultaneously was awesome.885Please respect copyright.PENANAGELytcDDlU
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.885Please respect copyright.PENANA8zbgmaQyhZ
All: My lips like sugar (x2)885Please respect copyright.PENANAqueoyNETof
This candy got you sprung (x2)885Please respect copyright.PENANAjkiq56WeYx
So call me your sugar (x2)885Please respect copyright.PENANAykEh6V7laE
You love you some (x2)885Please respect copyright.PENANAATlubWNd4G
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)885Please respect copyright.PENANApBVW04TECy
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 885Please respect copyright.PENANAdgUzfW8mFH
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di885Please respect copyright.PENANAtVD4I25l1m
Sugar 885Please respect copyright.PENANApmQLykxsH9
I885Please respect copyright.PENANAFUXqt5u79c
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 885Please respect copyright.PENANA0qWJgHcdYt
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 885Please respect copyright.PENANAHH3JdsreQm
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 885Please respect copyright.PENANAT0AKedpXoy
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 885Please respect copyright.PENANAOaSUlc2ize
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.885Please respect copyright.PENANAakOyxtnJUY
Onlookers885Please respect copyright.PENANA5cod6VYyjA
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 885Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7LOGJsfJL
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 885Please respect copyright.PENANA4S6MnmYXsX
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.885Please respect copyright.PENANAeQBoDHq0Ll
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.885Please respect copyright.PENANAXsxggvjxKL
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.885Please respect copyright.PENANAnT6wP8X2II
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.885Please respect copyright.PENANASxYcmCEjQ2
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.885Please respect copyright.PENANAzJygi7hSP9
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.885Please respect copyright.PENANAqjeMbDrxGN
"Ya, we really should," I answered.885Please respect copyright.PENANAPmu6gUWphK
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.885Please respect copyright.PENANAuheGWK8z8F
"Take a bow," I said.885Please respect copyright.PENANAw5Vxnud4nS
Zoey who stood next to 885Please respect copyright.PENANAoufPSsVfnH
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 885Please respect copyright.PENANAQaB9XPG1ob
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took885Please respect copyright.PENANAI4erxlfjaS
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down885Please respect copyright.PENANAOuZvxYag87
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 885Please respect copyright.PENANAuQyf1LkHvy
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.885Please respect copyright.PENANABzqs9l6ARc
"Well, this just got 885Please respect copyright.PENANAbyF6auhdlp
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 885Please respect copyright.PENANASIOF80tcwa
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.885Please respect copyright.PENANAZCrT0wwVN6
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."885Please respect copyright.PENANALjdvN9L742
The way Mike said it 885Please respect copyright.PENANAzwCde6yhBj
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 885Please respect copyright.PENANAZwpdkMmGt7
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 885Please respect copyright.PENANAeOoPWnrWo8
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.885Please respect copyright.PENANAblovB6vHH1
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.885Please respect copyright.PENANAQccufBQO31
When I got down from the885Please respect copyright.PENANASWIrzerOmc
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 885Please respect copyright.PENANApNHUlrlWba
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in885Please respect copyright.PENANAiKbzKVxQRN
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I885Please respect copyright.PENANAsY4Qz38skW
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.885Please respect copyright.PENANA6sKFrILxnA
"Well, you guys sure 885Please respect copyright.PENANAvovJ1aldtY
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 885Please respect copyright.PENANAFzZtC4N2T4
had to warn the security before I could even get here."885Please respect copyright.PENANA7WYtj4lgu6
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.885Please respect copyright.PENANAQBg5Jgtl0v
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't885Please respect copyright.PENANAQQyIn5L86I
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 885Please respect copyright.PENANA56vxATub7A
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAmX9JDdUZMa
"We just missed you, 885Please respect copyright.PENANATT263cxc7y
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually885Please respect copyright.PENANAB2O40sH3tR
with us but these past days you haven't."885Please respect copyright.PENANAEluztBLaYT
"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."885Please respect copyright.PENANAa4ac3wNQi9
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.885Please respect copyright.PENANAdZCJY0JBzH
"He would've called by 885Please respect copyright.PENANAGqVvxpCPDx
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 885Please respect copyright.PENANA6hSqsLuNHc
no calls from the grim reapers yet."885Please respect copyright.PENANAE9xfKjGw7j
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.885Please respect copyright.PENANAdXFJv3qqsB
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAwbw8LiRv9t
Immediately Lee focused 885Please respect copyright.PENANAkLN2CHkH6t
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone885Please respect copyright.PENANALJUTkcf7Wo
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 885Please respect copyright.PENANA8CbAs4OMMm
couldn't blame them.885Please respect copyright.PENANAZGR3aVKedJ
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.885Please respect copyright.PENANAeorIMkpIos
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.885Please respect copyright.PENANAiTreMPBewk
"How885Please respect copyright.PENANAtDghQ4aZqb
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked885Please respect copyright.PENANA9eMbRpGait
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into885Please respect copyright.PENANAQSizBJt5Ui
your own dance hall."885Please respect copyright.PENANAYBKvIJJiJk
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."885Please respect copyright.PENANAyqFUVenvmX
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAMI6eB1xGCM
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.885Please respect copyright.PENANAuNx4dZplpG
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....885Please respect copyright.PENANACTVkt0bCSq
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.885Please respect copyright.PENANAJBDjwF1meE
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.885Please respect copyright.PENANAbLPleprBLT
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.885Please respect copyright.PENANAdGc1NBFspB
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."885Please respect copyright.PENANAIg2ErimofA
"No,885Please respect copyright.PENANAVBuoN3tIrG
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 885Please respect copyright.PENANAWBBBEeqHCK
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell885Please respect copyright.PENANAW9QwlvbTfN
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"885Please respect copyright.PENANA65uhdrGAVX
"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.885Please respect copyright.PENANAaOdklOprOM
"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?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAIoQQTcSHjb
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.885Please respect copyright.PENANA5TFGS6PwA6
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.885Please respect copyright.PENANA7HtfEWSXGG
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.885Please respect copyright.PENANAKw7T3oJQzX
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.885Please respect copyright.PENANAfSlBPhcQQP
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.885Please respect copyright.PENANA3h3pbms3z2
I885Please respect copyright.PENANAf47cpkDDlj
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 885Please respect copyright.PENANAr7DfDj8BnI
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 885Please respect copyright.PENANATLhbSfkZP0
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it885Please respect copyright.PENANApQwvvAIA1R
was a lot to take in.885Please respect copyright.PENANAETE79i3DOi
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."885Please respect copyright.PENANAugjB9fxvfy
"That's885Please respect copyright.PENANAwul6qLvihf
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 885Please respect copyright.PENANA8zAJnrSu3t
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 885Please respect copyright.PENANA9zkXsY2uXl
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 885Please respect copyright.PENANAYir7ooJg7d
still find out anyway."885Please respect copyright.PENANAri1qG3Nkhz
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."885Please respect copyright.PENANAqMYE1bUgKd
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.885Please respect copyright.PENANAOaipJHG3SL
Everyone885Please respect copyright.PENANAbId7NxPawR
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 885Please respect copyright.PENANA9Pyhk0AT5R
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 885Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ31ZnIS4d
somehow the anxiety was killing me.885Please respect copyright.PENANAjRkDeHYaMA
After885Please respect copyright.PENANADtgy3hK5yU
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan885Please respect copyright.PENANAnVbaeCqhUn
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the885Please respect copyright.PENANAOcsdBdaDEf
food court when Lee asked:885Please respect copyright.PENANANrLqDq97WC
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAJjqO9MtS35
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.885Please respect copyright.PENANA49gGF9hHDH
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.885Please respect copyright.PENANAoru8mU0T9N
"You885Please respect copyright.PENANA0ylJ2HXkiU
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 885Please respect copyright.PENANASCnd5Iw0A5
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 885Please respect copyright.PENANAM2WcixDQRq
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."885Please respect copyright.PENANAcafPYetWoz
"I885Please respect copyright.PENANAyk25ql3fIi
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 885Please respect copyright.PENANAfWJjvqh776
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 885Please respect copyright.PENANAebWFX3LzYC
okay."885Please respect copyright.PENANAxG9drxJCnU
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.885Please respect copyright.PENANAOquFIuXlVF
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."885Please respect copyright.PENANASQfP5QFVHu
"You885Please respect copyright.PENANAV1FIHZjpTg
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 885Please respect copyright.PENANA1IJjsXnuHV
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 885Please respect copyright.PENANAn0XHk0LGvp
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 885Please respect copyright.PENANA9qW2nfANKb
don't know up to now."885Please respect copyright.PENANAJooCBaRoMN
"BTW885Please respect copyright.PENANAhc3bZ3CglQ
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I885Please respect copyright.PENANAfFpbLn9wqd
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 885Please respect copyright.PENANAS7vTBKfHK9
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 885Please respect copyright.PENANAN8Urd6Lr2W
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."885Please respect copyright.PENANAnEt1DZQa85
"I885Please respect copyright.PENANAtBmPM1TLr4
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 885Please respect copyright.PENANAbLDS3RluSS
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 885Please respect copyright.PENANASxh8auG3FK
normal human perspective."885Please respect copyright.PENANApGulrhYQep
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."885Please respect copyright.PENANAM6ZImFXZsZ
"I think she is," said TOP.885Please respect copyright.PENANAbwPvrn5DMZ
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.885Please respect copyright.PENANA4dX2gl5hfd
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.885Please respect copyright.PENANAOieBapteUO
Zoey885Please respect copyright.PENANAaVV5TJxCKw
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 885Please respect copyright.PENANABWBNY1Jqsj
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.885Please respect copyright.PENANAtbB9TnPtvu
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"885Please respect copyright.PENANAs9dEQ8GGQo
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.885Please respect copyright.PENANAWmGzEa4qrW
Before885Please respect copyright.PENANAhw2GmJDG8j
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she885Please respect copyright.PENANAKKSMVxUvYr
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 885Please respect copyright.PENANATMaJcpssfY
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.885Please respect copyright.PENANAXZlxgV1qVH
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.885Please respect copyright.PENANAiar0eKLxlu
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.885Please respect copyright.PENANArzyFiNMdbB
The885Please respect copyright.PENANAvj9XETBw70
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 885Please respect copyright.PENANAP3jGJ3t2yk
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 885Please respect copyright.PENANAzZUxvD66bL
would never stop fighting no matter what.885Please respect copyright.PENANACUPXWTSnRp
"I885Please respect copyright.PENANA8SZLRuysNV
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a885Please respect copyright.PENANAUdULrA7Q4i
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 885Please respect copyright.PENANA3S1PpkFYhv
it's full of drama too."885Please respect copyright.PENANAECvJmtbX8h
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.885Please respect copyright.PENANASxWYeaOWJa
"Do885Please respect copyright.PENANAUu8EnaVrRL
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 885Please respect copyright.PENANA9XrFwlpJAT
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 885Please respect copyright.PENANAY9D7bhG6xs
court.885Please respect copyright.PENANA1pSn0L75UQ
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."885Please respect copyright.PENANA7eWFx0BvvG
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."885Please respect copyright.PENANA4rklna4YiD
"I hope so too," said Christine.885Please respect copyright.PENANA97Uf3c5dwO
"Come885Please respect copyright.PENANAeNxH6yK7Hg
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 885Please respect copyright.PENANAEv9yp7IyBk
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."885Please respect copyright.PENANAlv1vCb4LX8
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.885Please respect copyright.PENANAjJPCsaRCWx
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.885Please respect copyright.PENANAkmmQ59wqbv
As885Please respect copyright.PENANAUct4NVqqz3
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning885Please respect copyright.PENANAUJSAkzd2BY
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 885Please respect copyright.PENANAzpo3li0ZF2
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 885Please respect copyright.PENANAsDhffmQ76v
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 885Please respect copyright.PENANAQMlKifgqPP
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.885Please respect copyright.PENANAVSZfta2v1U
I885Please respect copyright.PENANAc08SCu8bBh
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 885Please respect copyright.PENANAfNZE7tVH0O
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might885Please respect copyright.PENANAM4zwKwSqpY
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 885Please respect copyright.PENANAXCAGlbPPdn
of the blue may arise.885Please respect copyright.PENANAwEevhvGl7E
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
