Hanging out at Times 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJzczpeQKM
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmtI9ZFFM6
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ2278YuJk
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHNQ5hwbhm
But that didn't matter. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXVZXov9db
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknJ7dFf1EB
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupVeaCytYy
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiR80L7iFj
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhth2avhIdw
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFbDJXQCtt
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvU5r265GA
actually played around with the adorable kids.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkZkCuGKWb
There were plenty of 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s12sdPLhX
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnFyWOf8r4
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TanTzimNc
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbBXV3gqxs
fans too.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHly84vkVmV
The time we were done 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrUn7sNZz7
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSQcvVG7WV
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif3bMq4gn7
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ5yK0qOON
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonf66cgjiR
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS4CqnWSQk
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡammZiqEn5h
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhPHFGfyvV
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcDRGEm65Q
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3Z7CKnXTw
previous day, of course.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKicZGdMPsD
As much as the managers 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF7pAXQjPr
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs0RwfzHFg
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9vZazUg2S
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCPsCxgnY8
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7KjwBGZtP
Right now, this very 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFnEb8zxMm
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGkUCTrdfi
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ViAsMQFNe
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwsjV0Bn9k
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8MYVYClSm
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ238aYti5We
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqNWq6J2qP
and I just couldn't take it.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV9PpyzJ91
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqjaBM61AZ
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVCVywtczq
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1BtDsT93k
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9CMU5UcC1
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIug9Xnbfk
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQQyaUc0Iy
"I thought you said your plan would work."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2FPBrxjdM
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhKgphFv9w
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBNsTCVcBh
I felt like slapping my 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEsBQeCyO9
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KI1fb9uhe
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvfznCfCEt
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1w8VTaro6
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhnuDiQJWP
off.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MutVWGPgC
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhvFds8YxU
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbq4yrGzpG
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3KlGRMbLS
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDbyFmcX17
I shrugged. She read my 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cQ5jCcrzb
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAvbyFFSzA
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC6GiAbyrq
me the whole time."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSO2QFSLqy
I sat down on my bed as 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wpJlJi3C7
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUXxxz8Tty
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjfPDlUrPI
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLPsqEuJsn
"Gosh, you really should959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIjm77XqQZ
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0QmkL5uCl
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PKZXIp5hV
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B4WVCaAHe
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8sH9CaAxr
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z04NhpkRB
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTljyXDxmtY
"Mike is annoying 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUaFk9KY37
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs3WXAppel
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxPt6L2eep
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5CduPr2xY
"You're right. I should burn him instead."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMYBJN5qh1
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6Z81pfBem
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwxO14iJe2
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmOa3doFn6
"Sorry, but just so you 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcdSoalN8Q
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGRAUagoc6
that pic of you and him together."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhprQ3srXN
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkjZvftMjN
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ3R1Z3Zbb
I blushed and at the 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWYPJQkTar
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLBhGO8TNu
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLKHARDKAC
other hidden agenda.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUXMTm5uuM
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfZDQygH1Z
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr88wyOw23A
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKJKhar4Ao
I sighed in surrender. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95LKcUoKOR
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl1DpnW8ZC
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2wFPqAvo4
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOJp1XtQCb
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXg88ssnMi
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdhyMtk4mg
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8JHNCpKj6
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNU9XIRrNJ
Zoey had an excited look959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW64A89HO56
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqfuyoJ7NJ
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33hJDhbbRL
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkp5WbeXIz
clearly show all over her face.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkvTk9Xdve
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXGNS5TxNX
I shook my head. "And?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmsf5PZUwR
Zoey folded her arms, 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcQGfuoE5q
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShDcrrewf9
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72j0ijLrdn
"Hold that thought. This959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsUpZTbLHv
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCxrhbhfBW
after Seunghoon posted that picture."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KnbfE4odN
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7u6hzOPMy
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuKx6hw2RL
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9ZhIapgU6
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmklEKudlR
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIxIA0K5Wf
"Well, he hid in our closet."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0722JVvgsi
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJzklCEQKb
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0kUqXXAXt
"Ya, why?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8IUUgdy2c
"Looks like we just 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCMJS4xhrF
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPkQrUaWDm
whom we consider perfect as our bias."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hJAOUiLeL
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMv0as5O0D
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j5hOSnlKu
"What do you mean? You 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uzADevDTK
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtBMMwljOp
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCECQcUce1
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOohpIbC0QR
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R8ek026xi
"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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcQdur9Yp4
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQiKXszz8B
"I wanted to but I kept 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QcIJwJZH9
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9noBvGxtX8
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8EyQZ98Jk
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ot4YWeF3
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTPZuNQCsu
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhvZTw92NC
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPGeyLus5I
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL9jnXBVsv
I quickly stood up and 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBycOMmSrj3
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdJmeWYaps
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpWHMpft6B
her back.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX283yAvINX
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwtfVtXW7W
"Zoey, you're going to 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeGf9D20Zj
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7rjIb1Gwc
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iGNekJQmi
own hair pink in the next ten years."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINa0Eqmq62
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcr9VrKaGC
"You're lying."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ocnpPBugA
"I'm telling the truth!"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAX4W7dikJ
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlesTBZIly1
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1NXyKlXLy
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7xsssi8hq
"I can't tell you that."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT2fuCKigJ
"Why?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVOBYrj1uu
"Because it's 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArwIr6w66k
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMk6RBjWpf
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFGimW7qRC
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfry9ml468E
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUtCx5qc4f
"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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8sHnapye8
"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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDht7fFi00r
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58sqST7KOS
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7VWWNgdoQ
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2FLq3VvEy
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCV9GhlmoY
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMhnvaexXI
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnaVMHMiI6
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCa67Bwu2N
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwDze8nWUb
I playfully rolled my 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLZsgPBsDQ
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sM8OI9eQN
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG36i5pb378
also looked worried.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFtkEsCPf7
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgQIS8qqu5
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbW9uCFsxC
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK9HXPJppM
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkDL6EImIp
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27fDFF0tX5
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qVXjvJyu5
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQV7wGGSij
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQiWFuTT1v
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxnvhp6Wio
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgnKE1NrCn
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFLfdmB2pH
"Okay, first of all," 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKjBSYDKb1
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1W9crErdg
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeApeHKpzX9
he wasn't mad at you."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jzbWpJxAN
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5POA7KEAK
"That, he couldn't say."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCEoa0VBpm
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwb6EB7qZD
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AiZJ6VKWM
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf1RGeGOY4
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHgnYYaFA7
Christine pressed the 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V9tsoVhnS
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9JsZrVBQl
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsFBop14GW
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9oEgJFV8Y
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo9xeHjVSx
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ik3o2XQpB
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHmYkKbCdi
We got to YG right on 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeml6SxK7M
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeigfX2dkp
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSG0E6pliC
arrived a few seconds earlier.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bi7G7xw2S
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsiDL7OEGm
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9MowRIylj
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDQUwRmQ5R
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk985vMyxxQ
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByLR4cR0Rl
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrpRt4LNUe
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouSzuTf6jE
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeaapdwAvt
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbquv4P7Kjl
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzgBirot0z
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6lWyQsaXn
"There will be no such 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtUugm0lHh
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPKNvtAlbI
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRE4iBaQUc
"And you're making it 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5u8oSpDPG
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF9vV5igO4
pouted his lip and scratched his head.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur0E28yZ4J
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQf51Y2otm
"Trust me, you don't 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUggIbb8jxK
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWfkThW6Vo
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfUoRkVwtT
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjArXBzWgZu
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRDX0CL71U
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfkgmattBV
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh4SLpRP1m
"Look, whether they are 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCsUuWAso0
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIFEIDl9k5
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHhbfNziRN
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RRF1Gfhq2
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xyZ5vm8nq
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXUgobhUEW
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPyJHd9zZp
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd08GWP9Wl6
I gave Lee a sad smile 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDzwX8JfoS
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAVGFT755H
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj4PPxab2Y
your life. Like suicide.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Wk9BOoa3
We started our way 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRMIVnrSDy
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntjyWmHAGJ
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4z8lYyQOW
and my jean trousers. Nothing.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoJM0IbvlR
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfefHT7IezU
I quickly ran out of the959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V065CswEM
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWVd2p8UVo
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDJL69Vzqe
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPUASyuZXM
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQt1JZX2Wc
check for it inside.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vT2ipsHti
When I got to the 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcPZrSAgji
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0BBYJgBgY
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINwJU32oLO
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP38ybJhlKD
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGi3jfIds5
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hv4szF6yv
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAPfhxnWej
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAGS1DDGHC
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ide87XYCt
"Seriously, I can sue 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRYZuTLlGu
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNGxFwUChl
fast. I never even heard him coming.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuC9ZmgGe6
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cy8BnmUf5
"You're not my bodyguard959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAKczOEpmv
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV69uIKjon0
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JHZgrUzjm
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX1JhkkkRG
I blushed. "You know about that?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHJWMSVWKZ
"Everyone knows you have959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZyMl1nJdn
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0P7msDgmg
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7StBuXDlG
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IMoIfFgOr
"Looks like I did the 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CwDYHJRnm
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lEDNrzSMN
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3FRVAjUTD
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqSdpep52B
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb2a1tz3lp
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMNI6XisMa
"And because you're a 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3AXTBZhdT
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDEz1guALV
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR7c7DRkhH
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFdK2jeulh
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx6M6EsjwX
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHcw4mIjdy
"Can you at least tell 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93Ori4DC3C
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf2dM6bBzi
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OBA2cJI5Q
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v5KvaSIWp
"What dramatic effect?" 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgQ1fBu99R
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUjoeDjVmo
came closer. I took a warning step back.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehYmNislxy
"If you hadn't followed 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPjhHGl0id
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkgSpAALuT
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD42GPdtzdj
room."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9DGawi4HI
"What surprise?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNgJb1l6Mz
The elevator stopped and959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JweApPbYl
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Qf7vi9sA
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIIvTIfun3
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8An347P6O
Seunghoon and I stepped out.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qJvcGhoKm
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0AP9Wao9Y
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBBnUHZGuB
"I already have a guess," I said.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3tzdQrNPW
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhZtwCQHZ7
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2JbPC4arx
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTcA3FJg69
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2sxT3C0gF
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJy3TJ4GtM
When we reached the 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHWm4Eikzb
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfewDFFwONo
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW1t58CIVM
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOkBqqSMgg
In the conference room 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkjMHX6WPl
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BXBJ9zejQ
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa1Ih7ydan
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB31qPSinE
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AcZflVuhr
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMtlWH9zU2
though I did my best not to show it.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUSXnmfco7
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGIEKtubT6
I looked to the opposite959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gQPOVyX3X
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoXVMh3voQ
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc1nNF6j8o
turned their backs to us facing the wall.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgYpngaByt
"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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZNyB96nrC
G-Dragon quickly turned 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIh0K2BZJ9
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpWKAyyv0O
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfHKBtCLsO
"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?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc45VEmr5G
"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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmaSaShKrH
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4IkY3lCI0
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPFDmixUa1
"Wait," said Lisa who 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfzMGhnDfh
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2qHO2oBoC
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ch2nlgmgE
"It felt simple and 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6ZnDqFzuF
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOrN2q40XY
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cXxAUi48t
with G-Dragon today."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12af52Z7Dc
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5cjei2cY8
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWCQNzxU2s
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF4pG55nuq
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0AaFKf9nw
"Ya, I know I'm a 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK47vuJ4xGz
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DHENoxcXO
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXII5GzEy6o
"If you mean us getting 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OTRmk2wjy
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Y8MYVRtM
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nid6ggCKD
by coincidence."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo34KKS3Vi
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOl3Slvhbx
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUDpESlDs7
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK2TC4Nk7j
The rest of the BTW crew959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpuqFHdUo8
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg6bzmJnoO
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAowZHqMZZ
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95DpUZKvz8
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrQZqGJqNb
"Hold up," said Zoey who959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmiLURvn6M
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHFZCHpGYK
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjoE0JhQdE
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcbn6hb0JU
"Told you we'll 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwspnndYI9
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvWCOrpmw9
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNqe2x9da9
"But is he going to do 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqCajnZFRp
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrpNS7MMPQ
didn't really meet by coincidence."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmXsJlw6P1
There was silence in the959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDbwNzSUeS
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q16lZB6M2
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K0Yeo797P
planning to do.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a4w7cbzcR
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP1BcU0yD5
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9l27mpzRX
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NIbkmresf
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F7kpV5kb0
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXu3lbCQxf
"And also because he's 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRVA0WGZMe
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6lbaIVlMn
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjniDzZYnvs
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NDOPlkG2x
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dc65TFfEn
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8QM4ubZ2E
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6ZRSn0FGS
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWXh5VGaH0
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiEEjFlWj5
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCgb1TPufG
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOnhxFAmaq
G-Dragon smiled. He had 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7yq3x1buI
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr9nfum1lW
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTbu3QGu5n
deal with G-Dragon instead.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW0ipvMiZr
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6hEu0H5Fn
"What do you want?" I asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28jbEJ0KXv
G-Dragon looked at me as959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGpfsuqa4B
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgZUJjh7OJ
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5J98k03gr
came to any conclusions.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoGJQZtNHc
"To make things clear 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk6T2V3rLI
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡernPQSJM1F
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgp7gBCEnv
thinking about doing the same thing."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXu9d4jwyO
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlI5lb2uW5
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwwDVQE0kP
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOGv5Ry7dn
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXQ7vDYA24
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBegUiD9BN
"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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8f0Di1SrP
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKYzrETTVT
"All's fair in love and 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruc0M3MY4v
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7DmBPN26w
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqZiveni3N
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNU85TK3q5
"Come on," Christine 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfo2VY41hU
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMEpvE3nRs
won't be here for long and you know it."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6QxeCbldn
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZTVuaxL2Z
"BTW is nothing but a 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7abrkX9183
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63tx3V3Z5K
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPEWahTIds
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1twobBynd
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ueTY1GFPo
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdk2IMMmqC
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWirAgpxDe6
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcCKE0m2Yv
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGfy3sKw7Y
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR8k64RNsb
"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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5SNAXxrjk
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEUVXR4hcV
Upon saying that, the 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE7BAek1N6
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdBLtuBeVB
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6jUCYn8SZ
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIggIctdXF
seated stood up.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRofSwycxt
I gulped. I hope the 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo8vQvmXjg
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLT1sHxdq2
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPpInCzy0e
The two managers had 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YYbKdVBNF
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlso7Iz1TC
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy63ROGKan
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh29MRvJ9V
is wrong.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPILfgCgyw
"Good that you're all 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGpDJY0i5S
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoIhDJnO7K
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOEsHhFrcc
I have always hated it 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzJNSxTgJx
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk5Qal3BmX
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCW6iyMrDv
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kln9J3PZG
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgaHtRe7SU
their seats.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdwghGAIwD
The two managers and Lee959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXyXl9a837
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJBv14oDvE
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoHD92zf61
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXKZoKZ5VA
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVzwIFFwEL
was.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IpzOI5RnN
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLWJ3BVElh
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vn6ek70Gx
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghdz14HWrg
Zoey sighed loudly in 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj1hqZibDe
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqfN1CDlOk
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uh9QYhEOf
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhevqEHdJq3
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLVDM2xr9g
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vyxNnuxtU
The two managers 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UeZd8b4jN
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoK8cFuWkl
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FBdSpQwUg
That was so not cool.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QR8fubh7U
"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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ElCBFE367
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8GytJ6ste
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzASARUHkRG
My ears perked up when 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeeiwhjtTE
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08iUlUnmWM
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UwqjE4ijN
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CLhXdG4Zt
"We heard you outside 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8CHIa8cNQ
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv0F8xfFLk
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalJACcg7Va
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI4FUqb0gO
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5DYCIBZll
"Yes, Sam. For real," 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCoRYcBxbB
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P0EFsuMAs
through further scrutiny about this decision."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawRVAZBhbY
I smiled. Even if they 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKINCfNVg3
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx5Cprcf5O
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b3neSSxcY
There was an exciting 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7An9s3b8N
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu145o1UVy
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUxlBULZfT
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ubMQUYQ6
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJNZNe21kr
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zk4jd2gWT
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KrLvQqwSV
I turned to my other 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6Jz0tl3m
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NfDXhrasB
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj557EdNNGN
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fBjMCFpnt
now, didn't matter.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc89PVvfTHx
"You heard them when 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLdh3kDHvV
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyaGw8UrOz
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrEAx3gUlj
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu0iyb3A1R
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7pAvZ88RW
"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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JdcGkpQoz
This time it was me, or I959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupHRLF4QOh
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIARcQxTV2
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGIlt0NxBn
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNN43EomFw
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XpQN2ka2l
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sn7L9tfGw
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x0Jtuo2kt
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5AEbeHGVv
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpmJ1xFApk
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGBxMCiAex
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXiNSrTXKI
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcNEL4KRnp
"We all agree," said Daniel.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PxzLw5vET
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnys9Jq4LY
"But just because it 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshjRloaGkw
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvX7LGybdh
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTVN9MhAvn
"Okay, so that's settled959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQeobHoSlC
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdfgLZK6Tc
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnxHV8U208
BTW official."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TO5wFxWcB
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQtCCSyM8w
I noticed that most of 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmra8aqQEQ
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSmVsVnthC
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQxSaTQDBk
when she looked at me and I grinned.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh4EwGKosY
"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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu2NXKhfxm
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv2PXNUvLr
"Before we make BTW 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef5PMuhIP7
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqumDluvlo
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxwTnZBY5r
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFhtqPHzAm
low for a while. Is that good?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzJvpIHvvN
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAMy5WtAQq
"That's fair enough," 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DKJET4NdE
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcbwc3dN3W
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcV1Wb6VgB
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh6lOVJARz
so."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9riP2HmXOW
"So you want to crush 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraagJTYS3r
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ4i2xx0SM
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9hWXEg6XO
strategy."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1JvA1uUt5
"Then if all is well and959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa17yTPGU0
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rDAC8x9co
updated and not a word on social media."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRypakAvIuC
I stood up from my seat 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQJJrEQaOb
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSoOnaVogQ
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzYwwNli3i
walk out, I stopped them.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpxjQS3oZI
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3fWciNzKj
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvFKxIuRb9
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL4pRxbRt3
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKbanPdzH9
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP7VpwinDV
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv40uvfPVI
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni2NsSCBvW
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEnMkYZAyb
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvaalrpwqc
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt9RlTt6Hq
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMp7mJNEbd
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDZ8MPWyIK
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhd1QjZgaS
"This is like the best 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIcvZDcujV
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGAr3vrBhr
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjccq4ZIQjG
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuU4RbqKqO
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FAoxJjjUw
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoqHXWuE5V
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKHb0aKobe
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8prxb4ReR
"I knew there was a 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62K6IMlFSD
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDeUOEG40E
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79imG8XO59
G-Dragon.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nH930TcPI
"You knew?" Christine asked.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwftYLojCEg
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIpU3wbGz1
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbFmv6xV9A
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEe4L3I3O7
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPVflzzMHo
"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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEoVqIa4mf
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemr20k2Orr
"Well, you guys can tell959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDzd2qpAje
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUIRhL8IN0
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFqnR0MZMh
aren't going to go into the same car."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9upV3f1Nv1
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxhuyLbnyF
Everyone else started to959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9sz3jDfpE
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUeRlL9i7N
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFmFJ2XZvC
only G-Dragon and I.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6ngTCUgy8
"I'm mad at you," I started.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGugKQ5b24e
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2t4V53ghL
"Save it." I held my 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes1LSh4LNv
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bLd3fIMbc
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbZonc8zAK
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaIkHZq7Ld
a war again."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOUyGfcg8C
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6lReCPhmS
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoyy2wAtCe
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uAvhV9zGd
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj5HszZCbE
G-Dragon looked at me 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uvkrJIYEF
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlUFrpNhB6
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dhz8WBsRe
stab in the heart.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkaoAAQHSg
"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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9mqqZ5MrO
"You know, the others 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidUFJCzJuQ
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTKVyFQh0P
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpXwgYdoIX
with WINNER yesterday."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzot3J1E1F
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSQNXOlGXA
I nodded my head. What I959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNE160rJca
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaV7mHGMoq
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQTu6oeWml
of Seunghoon and I.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8zcMDM77p
"You know you and I can 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OYTgPLCL5
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d6P4FIyxK
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqpqErKCQV
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfO3nqtwKe
down the rocks."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ115nfKDq
I headed for the door 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK5DbBGbyA
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsyqAQr3Dq
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW7Hpz4PW8
Zoey, waiting.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP8A6YhbgZ
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL3as3OnQT
"I sure hope so," I said959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbrziKNc87
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnaUuceY20
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cLMRiu9oE
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSYJgftIDt
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPq5ZCCkkv
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5h63nB4xF
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZLGDxj18p
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QOhxwPpQV
"You know computers are 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYyrjLokHs
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNecLiVgyu
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYMnEeKa2D
supposed to."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6l2D5KyP6
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxYWj2ZNT5
I smiled. "You always call me that."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4euQKBOn9g
"Ya, because you're smart too."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaU19diGzK
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yNWFjpzAj
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMlhvuJTFH
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcQ7egNzDL
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqVD5MODS2
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexUhbe2VGO
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
