Hanging out at Times 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qekA3gV7d
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3roaNM0PN
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsQMtZAEMm
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1zcAgG6AN
But that didn't matter. 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1EfuCh6Q2
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWuTNH15bB
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEagHqcLe4
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVhMtjNni8
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizUlKyqWIm
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrjkYqFWtg
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3IS6CUr79
actually played around with the adorable kids.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopAxlUZP5A
There were plenty of 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ171v2w3fXB
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpffg5knnwO
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGswh6hdys
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrwblTkSi4
fans too.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROsdMbi5At
The time we were done 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB0O4ZID31
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebBJa4KLwO
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNImcV20MG
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0jKp1Hg6G
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlHrkuGykV
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6LUrLN1ie
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjjKB65GIZ
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQmpcy6MHK
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nxRacKhbD
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnQlOg4SaP
previous day, of course.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPj4E3jQcH
As much as the managers 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm86niSXDuj
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOccG5rwPw
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSgSIM7H40
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjAcVWaBYG
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXtLK6OSW1
Right now, this very 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW1a2idrG3
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqoFnWYYuq
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRGm1Hyu3l
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v69hEdLWD
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WY1EQpzgT
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYc0Toinvc
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XZXUWOi38
and I just couldn't take it.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUskfU4A7K
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nt4nzy8Nh
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3VRvfZYx9
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFnyM32bdc
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5hI2u0qNK
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZFBE7nRTG
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBHZicRrBc
"I thought you said your plan would work."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfvmVBJkGI
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY7FtpaAo2
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxEuDTsd64
I felt like slapping my 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBlHJaSZt2
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswCS9dAXXn
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTd9G3OevO
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKVIl7bIbH
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM23Ljf6iW
off.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht9fKYvquV
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4clDz2ddHi
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ443XHpBMBD
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdHFGLz1E9
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaUHrXmNmn
I shrugged. She read my 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZhgjOFP00
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIL0Cwn5Zx
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT4lbqb9DG
me the whole time."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhhiLHJCLN
I sat down on my bed as 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ihLLqDoq8
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGTfRfoSbB
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0xrWKLdVo
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjyTgW77pg
"Gosh, you really should1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4DJgLSpah
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6HsJc19XJ
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4icIyKptNy
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91O7AXOVXh
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gIWAqdNxG
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8hGuvddm5
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP18P3pc0b
"Mike is annoying 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw72dk6Hdh
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaUHtcry86
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjWbjaw6Dl
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwKBBXjpBs
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL3RmBZQb8
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkMpchHwCK
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfk8Jlfwkf
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfxjsOjaVf
"Sorry, but just so you 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebXaSUVjHZ
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdsI1n6bfj
that pic of you and him together."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC33RSMgCA
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzu33tI2Wp
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63GH8BKGhj
I blushed and at the 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFDCxP1cH1
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8i32pqwSY
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQkZiin0s6
other hidden agenda.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mf9Yetemz
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDF3k7I24z
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2M2LfNtpy
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNCVZD1YKi
I sighed in surrender. 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSP5nWhiMS
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyy6nLoc1M
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyDaMhv8TW
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMG28SZ0YH
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."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbAfF87RyX
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWCwe8eUwa
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH8TPjFDO8
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB3FdI6bO5
Zoey had an excited look1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQWu7ffdZW
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhmNwEaPoo
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRMbRifryf
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pnXouEzxX
clearly show all over her face.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhtnYmrGym
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUsZty8CMQ
I shook my head. "And?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3khTh90oiz
Zoey folded her arms, 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfyWIrY2Dg
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF22UNb9vqN
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4OCEY4WN9
"Hold that thought. This1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj512CvXI9j
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycjTAfrCKX
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvo8KFIPZF
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqvinRYELf
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpHgRFRtS8
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHnIpMR4u7
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XJtkYLKCy
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TEvsCujXj
"Well, he hid in our closet."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDPBXZhS8G
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCN71aVE4S
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgyYh51aHm
"Ya, why?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM53o3JHwV3
"Looks like we just 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBF1ygf5ij
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQjMvcIanF
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbLLq37IYj
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."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPcfxJ0DL7
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDV5QqJTLV
"What do you mean? You 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lg2z8gfnt
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GZ9hA3g4B
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYcX46UVGm
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dtdUCSPIX
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yrbits2uA
"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."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJmvtj52qB
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzdwlnuZqb
"I wanted to but I kept 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVesZLi6VgY
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjicIoap6V
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUjrILnO9H
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpK8djY5QB
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewzn1VYmbP
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAADiE9iva
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8761D2GHr
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5qXTEMEI6
I quickly stood up and 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHy4G9scwZ
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkgZmSGJM8
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbkes09oRM
her back.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmoDvOba9U
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4PQ6J9L58
"Zoey, you're going to 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVWLyQR1Tv
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbioznqurR
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq7wrGmhHU
own hair pink in the next ten years."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4nH1dIlZC
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkOEXVNEI9
"You're lying."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcE1hyQzqN
"I'm telling the truth!"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSSLLt2FoM
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnQ84YOLn7
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2gGPjNxVH
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWDU4LeuSJ
"I can't tell you that."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jVCMNjS2T
"Why?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw5AscA3Jb
"Because it's 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJVv72RYGv
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIDl8Otm8z
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgzbNPddvC
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv24OOBhom
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMbaAE6sQF
"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."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmXLLIMFjK
"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.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iwpgt8ztK
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyKInXDVg2
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUCpvgPQOL
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZItPLOmaa
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bZGj2pkVK
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0mcoHdgvW
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolKiC7tV9b
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT948kGRpN0
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJzpVuQ8ox
I playfully rolled my 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz37CjMVgq
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFWVQcSVHf
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsshZynMa5A
also looked worried.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpga3hl8Cyt
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw3WYtFovs
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotYQw2TqT9
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyixltSPbQ
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KMCzvy8lZ
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTMWpKQErE
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUCp1ELckc
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTxmw8Q4cZ
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqybKl04gk
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGlR6eHHk9
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3zoT3V4Ro
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5QZEN56y2
"Okay, first of all," 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6rUXDr2Ot
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxk9QwIAtg
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wDH6UZHAt
he wasn't mad at you."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tDqXgv4dp
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7tjpb4CWj
"That, he couldn't say."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfaus72MJH
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSd218lkhq
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhtA2yq8WH
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjzndISkc3
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnsvTCdfl8
Christine pressed the 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZKxCoD78c
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTkHha23qk
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD8YYti5rj
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeWsDtF6Mr
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn2IfoTSI4
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2hbUnHlms
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfrULH3qiz
We got to YG right on 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88mAUGCVSN
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V61QwoXBs
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuUOevG977
arrived a few seconds earlier.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH88GyeyxQ
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ769QU2wPE5
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk6T9bm9Jj
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorw1uA7gtE
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡillmomP2zs
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsVHZuV8Ld
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PGRQ94LAa
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wDTj4zEhR
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGud9CUUsE
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfdPwAra5p
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbx2m8VoeY
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDqbMifr55
"There will be no such 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhZ0M1RdyQ
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP2A87vpRe
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjubPNtRykW
"And you're making it 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpmta6pYNg
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHpmWbCbXk
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeledRRHHX8
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeZJKCiKe6
"Trust me, you don't 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojEtVJRa1P
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPlKVnEK1l
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ichxhuqDT
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CYYd7qfrH
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbldv4m9G3
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHSlomEufJ
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkr5kvJXej
"Look, whether they are 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt5e4YqxOO
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgX7WfjleY
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFJd3agf6B
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe2peZwonI
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ES7kdGfUj
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzrbe20aCx
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsvhiB7uwa
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ32kFaKGF
I gave Lee a sad smile 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqIvW8bHRQ
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX3gtwzjp7
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcecuyzs1VC
your life. Like suicide.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiJFuWvw23
We started our way 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IEVEYjPG2
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrsuqWXRTV
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy8qZtMLkl
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYRBosHo5L
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkfxzaEbqW
I quickly ran out of the1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb4QxGFODe
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBhlpTnKyB
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxPqngnEmD
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p0ZbbAaLF
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl7ZFYaw70
check for it inside.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVPIM0uLuC
When I got to the 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q7FmHQjV0
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A9bhbyt9W
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlNPeKb1b5
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSII5a7ucCS
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup9RgtcjpO
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZTf1zqWYu
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVoaPPIZn2
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOzkCDxQDI
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7is1nnt9xw
"Seriously, I can sue 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qOruoEtAF
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNlTNWKB0m
fast. I never even heard him coming.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22EoDuJKs1
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQKg1geGnN
"You're not my bodyguard1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrdVen0HdG
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM40adKXOj
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb947Qab7G
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BQh34zLd4
I blushed. "You know about that?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENV72qMQuN
"Everyone knows you have1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2rhenhSYn
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFCPlMBgTX
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5yNhdWO5j
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI5pSOHmEH
"Looks like I did the 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRzZxKNMpw
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuWuPd8yrC
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rjALWYmf2
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUTlkGYMOx
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc6dkPA0er
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeOJEL2TdR
"And because you're a 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0GbKbHVoL
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS47Z7OkpQs
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUu2QGbb00
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXctSZ1DujX
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjfWYgeBe6
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8lSW2abCb
"Can you at least tell 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp72QFEvyd
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8W1CdKdNv
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7DytYeEFK
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5lfJGczDf
"What dramatic effect?" 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MMyulXhXa
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y9KWtNExI
came closer. I took a warning step back.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbHfHrTjJV
"If you hadn't followed 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhD1qg9ixz
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5BXL1NbNy
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMXiwnYQqH
room."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9DWpiQQF6
"What surprise?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbOWgz0Vim
The elevator stopped and1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrNGvarFOk
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7oXWrhHFa
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBOxL33All
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB58bPw1SI
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa3a8x3oaL
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KC1rLpe9T
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6ZhePjJjQ
"I already have a guess," I said.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm31ku5x1rb
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUtAvxCAUS
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljS5P6U1pw
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a3yovZTIo
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavBgl8Z07Y
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ4LADkLUN
When we reached the 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMsQru0VR7
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPidh4SV1Ac
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡianY8kpt1U
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRxLje1Plz
In the conference room 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OOD7y6Qa9
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oaW4PYTEh
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcGRGFYEDt
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMuEhlYHAN
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYGAPqmCEA
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhYOgXmRxo
though I did my best not to show it.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnXAPy7Z8E
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7C9INfOYA
I looked to the opposite1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreSTO9CTg9
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxEWJLWQ8x
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqLS5YcRip
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVspxjdApIh
"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."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfOLv3b7mf
G-Dragon quickly turned 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdmsQ6kw7P
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOyJa5RDZt
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KNmO7jnml
"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?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDxhLsBgfA
"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.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwC9gSOv9i
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HrYPV7zEC
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMndwhiomEf
"Wait," said Lisa who 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIvPyOQz0c
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRlsi76ibj
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5YWKVH3Ij
"It felt simple and 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2KSfzTb13
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDfHrcCuB8
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXPxtsoVfJ
with G-Dragon today."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAilJH8ktM1
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYbjtoO15s
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul3s1FoZG9
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrasWJaaVBS
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAnsaFJOne
"Ya, I know I'm a 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlizY2Vsl80
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU54yZRatW
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d0s93ywqG
"If you mean us getting 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFM5X3kcNc
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H5CXQXAAU
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ480CDPIHQo
by coincidence."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhYSvvHZGE
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ64z6swWvu
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnG5RecxSg
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAscPSKKw7
The rest of the BTW crew1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKERUFqOx7
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkCCA5nwNY
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbggTllMosl
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRobK5DY6Z8
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljwqSOUdu9
"Hold up," said Zoey who1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPC52LA2mA
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz66nN205a
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv51qhoyaX
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g3OiqMrQZ
"Told you we'll 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX8yPgjdO4
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCPr7rr2vH
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu3aPnOgAM
"But is he going to do 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsa7ncIqp4
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0HF0FTc3n
didn't really meet by coincidence."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJUfVgrQUv
There was silence in the1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx5abvHUiC
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLXUcsxmkj
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq0PMH7egL
planning to do.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwR9f411Kl
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDZvFoc5FQ
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfaLDEisyJ
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFEDKSthFw
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXric6GMfXC
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlsYfLJCZU
"And also because he's 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdrECuGg5J
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIabJoELFeL
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV8ucW1plJ
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGbfwSnmxb
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS3XnCxtvQ
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZMnnR4r5D
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyyYgbhTFe
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfcT1iRERE
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibYYZyQAEf
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahZlRWiTzL
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqfddsW7Z4
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91y6HHjxnR
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1Y8yjpFwb
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwRn7qYwUq
deal with G-Dragon instead.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBsOHsKLna
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGdm6OMIRx
"What do you want?" I asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqzrWwJRpO
G-Dragon looked at me as1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrBlyoExYo
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliNsqJbUlh
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP8zfBjJ3F
came to any conclusions.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRorWWcoEC
"To make things clear 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfREm9yDn6W
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnqgZWZAAq
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo8C5GQLbw
thinking about doing the same thing."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ1aP93D3d
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ns0EI7qcc
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuY6QhKx43
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOyw2A5NHG
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsizl0rYmH
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Em3ybbMIv
"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."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmijaTb8e4
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VCSQ5KMIp
"All's fair in love and 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd48utNKvM
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9kdX3YRlT
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO65B4UGr6
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw21Ru2cg6m
"Come on," Christine 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkwNOZeLK0
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2h8aHcPv8
won't be here for long and you know it."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IumhJukwT
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb0jDA0aU0
"BTW is nothing but a 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKnPar8uBb
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowzDPya05E
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTigxdP29n
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5MEBmBaY0
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKISmxXLSop
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTNwS2DEnO
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xz3qjNFTG
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gQJaqEwni
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrDLBiWp5R
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxe0ZtIgch
"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.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJVkfcBmEZ
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4FvPezUBA
Upon saying that, the 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXDHtdgwZ6
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD6eLToNNv
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjypRMD3ud
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23OSuXDYwS
seated stood up.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUknwW9nQW
I gulped. I hope the 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBfxCxXKJ4
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11gqwBpDTI
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTIHc7zvL2
The two managers had 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofkklL4HDq
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH1xWwfbNu
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfPkJ2Vtrn
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybAO6eeEts
is wrong.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbLEzR4rUO
"Good that you're all 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiah4KVVn4l
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcQ6HrMYfy
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNTQIf0YuU
I have always hated it 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c4PAUCBg9
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQc2H4eq9P
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLFAy4HUH5
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3ucwm8GmY
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tvnIYA7qx
their seats.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF6FJrbKoN
The two managers and Lee1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TB8VUEuN2
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiMr5Ug6iM
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbCklRkGxE
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrGR44jQp3
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv6tRUvrub
was.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaJ4qb2tuH
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOB3CfoGin
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT9Yywe37S
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdQCWtNmnx
Zoey sighed loudly in 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKiIBkKINc
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaTE310uqm
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDR1Ek97Gt
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVHqPFXlFO
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg51AWxGnW3
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqKdPFkKM2
The two managers 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAcqwIpFJp
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdpKMnsgmO
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQaiXtrXmP
That was so not cool.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFHhftVLdY
"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."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyyRq4oH8O
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMNUiJRnyr
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdlW3IdXCS
My ears perked up when 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBMNfjbS9K
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqex40KmbcP
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLLzxQLhbQ
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytU2Xioho2
"We heard you outside 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpt1REBlIy
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNaOiPP9aW
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q36tb6F1J
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6FEa1Oxkj
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ8zXQge9u
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAj1qEH5mt
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3gcEGjbRx
through further scrutiny about this decision."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvsOvNk5RD
I smiled. Even if they 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZNJo8cZzn
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbC3l1YO7m
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dreayJXB4
There was an exciting 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K1yf8PZPr
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXwRDa4ajl
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcRPsNTdZY
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKFvcbpJx8
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xZ93kJb63
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uRmodcxHh
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFlL7daGIx
I turned to my other 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0jybUXMED
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJqtp0YFNF
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHuuvS5v5d
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLKEvDzKcx
now, didn't matter.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7qNNQxHPR
"You heard them when 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkyuael4Uj
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6nosqShYG
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVbXxCe0pQ
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpikKZurZgP
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcxw9QL6fz
"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.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rrsrx5rsl
This time it was me, or I1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWQ78VrdPG
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0lNCy9c3A
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQL4qzKAG0
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG7wlPuogs
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaZH3L1FEv
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSrDf5t6JZ
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte60Nfua1O
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K7vsrvgBs
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSsXstW0SB
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGODqekg43
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9SZlcaMOn
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf18kcoZXzO
"We all agree," said Daniel.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BUmMemFVE
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx5jInOgpf
"But just because it 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw7o8FCRmI
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkIc24A0iP
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hTM4yOrKJ
"Okay, so that's settled1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EDrZ35f3A
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVFAuVeyRn
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpFWV3BYhG
BTW official."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lhjF2POzE
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcu9hnVJ1P
I noticed that most of 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Kwaf1htc
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcdwaSGH7O
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOXwjBCWaS
when she looked at me and I grinned.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtHKMdW6wA
"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."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWhtbEQA3e
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQqQB93Fxn
"Before we make BTW 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhNsmoujCG
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1kt6mPZ0Z
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAxlY9SUbh
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5SlM7TP3X
low for a while. Is that good?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdxrt3Slcl
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9deCIlFsg
"That's fair enough," 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQxIUCcbkk
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxrFojJcpc
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrGgFbhJUI
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitx5eEn8yk
so."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW8CiujXJz
"So you want to crush 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURn6G4giUM
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW8kSQ1B58
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQBpqut038
strategy."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUznFKGi6s8
"Then if all is well and1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGZUkw9D7K
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgsFIxoPp5
updated and not a word on social media."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPTc8dhI9s
I stood up from my seat 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4cuqOFKqB
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFgbUXI80R
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1HcYiM1jG
walk out, I stopped them.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUd31cwo7E
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv74JXgdZtl
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kwDJrnC5j
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli13j3sddx
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmBizS8XWu
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MNmptIKTX
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxAsaJg54t
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlR5t5Y0kW
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgAR9Y3ny7
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeShcpdy1pw
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RDsxIBjHN
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs88sBK1PWZ
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq5hak9VBP
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugHu8CzlAO
"This is like the best 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbF1nxTaxr
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRa5Hbl6KL
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeqDOE6ax6
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmADZcJjtWJ
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui8iqJOMd0
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSvaab9Nyt
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Erv6MqSt
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkijC60XbfZ
"I knew there was a 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcBqVKPqBR
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp08KEv5n9L
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7NdT9719n
G-Dragon.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIM2zVsZZY
"You knew?" Christine asked.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeoJEmkrxa
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvPY7F1bWN
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXM95GlrbK
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mOctU2IOg
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuRGc3GI88
"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.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvrWRYQh8c
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C6t9XTtah
"Well, you guys can tell1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsacK8nGTdk
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlSvzlXfrn
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb23z4VsuII
aren't going to go into the same car."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvFBadfu3Y
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd9I4X8X0e
Everyone else started to1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz8oKpOvAT
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGk5ODR8hG
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV0wjjAvZ7
only G-Dragon and I.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ59qQcAXR
"I'm mad at you," I started.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIWGZX29jC
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDFWiiN9Uh
"Save it." I held my 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tUHzdVY5M
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrm9vEWp6e
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR0i5bfv6f
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzeYjWh4fZ
a war again."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUTyIVhwMT
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB7AOSoD4G
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzttW0sYnQi
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoR4wKVCy6
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm97krr8t7P
G-Dragon looked at me 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9JG9vjP9f
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBy1TcQnhh
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFtqZWCAW5
stab in the heart.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxWhKFTAgL
"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."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhndXd9ZCwz
"You know, the others 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPlk815BM0
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIjsO2ld0d
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbybj2bTu6B
with WINNER yesterday."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKjNVPg62y
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF07raSnmeg
I nodded my head. What I1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywTAvw4UOE
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuc7SSbddp
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkzdMLRciO
of Seunghoon and I.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvo7LNku4Y
"You know you and I can 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqkcn52EOt
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2w5AYSIJN
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwPDfOEhSt
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfPwNxVnEy
down the rocks."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeyjNhPIeS
I headed for the door 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwZ7QEJx9C
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ab3CAigaO
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoKp0KYizG
Zoey, waiting.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHZClT8N9X
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg20lNtYfnh
"I sure hope so," I said1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgmw9N1Ee6
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwpYq3ps4S
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE70ml1zPUp
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2L5oWKnbt
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfdthXxeRF
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bZXaxYriq
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37BoGFdfa4
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESYJ3UAN0n
"You know computers are 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75ywYGxpkv
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksYFRYmPvT
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOKfP8xPVs
supposed to."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ58n6o3D9F
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcV5HGnjaK
I smiled. "You always call me that."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXxm8rYFHP
"Ya, because you're smart too."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEGb0Z31k6
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgytcl0Cos
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJQxyS8gJn
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOlSJEie2Q
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmusoF1AzxP
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyycUZGH8Sf
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
