Hanging out at Times 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡingxJBsJxU
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPGUsYD444
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe52PqjjUq1
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLDYfa0dT2
But that didn't matter. 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCTD5cnCYb
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzbZq96UxD
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8jUXAmKUh
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUdGFyxlCX
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z54T8iitt
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLNnMRYZfO
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMjClRVl4c
actually played around with the adorable kids.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpPfzZQBjn
There were plenty of 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9bcUwJCb8
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2An8ToL1vx
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QTqxeIa42
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6sk7gS0Qb
fans too.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBpaY6jihY
The time we were done 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd9oKF2Ve5
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKy9WQ9NZL
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QEFXofSJy
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0GnXbP36Q
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGUby207mq
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnGSbDhWm2
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY8RsQhujw
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DA19CZYjp
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAWb9F2lDT
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BvmTBz3bp
previous day, of course.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfSuV4keMG
As much as the managers 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJaxjgjZTv
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCredGk7ZRJ
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApaefmMe0Z
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilhLhayXyJ
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPCLllwvVs
Right now, this very 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFjSJFHUhj
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WEd0Jym3U
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8GGakXYYi
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4KD6TwQmF
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdyq6nQoYV
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47AEqGOBLG
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPQUaGKrMM
and I just couldn't take it.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjM7Ma68WU
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYXw2vczUU
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj9NOC6drx
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeybetSlErb
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg53wBe5Yl
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDttP2rZjqU
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGKLFtT9sn
"I thought you said your plan would work."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyvC1DpD9I
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJcrivnOyA
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoId1GSDiXa
I felt like slapping my 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu520rkpua
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYQLiwYgrl
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uyisEfRGc
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5l49PNKGP
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLcgP86qLJ
off.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOti8aMH1aU
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCvAmHRQTN
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7pmoQ6nrU
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUkPPDgVcV
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAkXi06x1a
I shrugged. She read my 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPXJlxVFVA
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmX7Rv0QKq
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW7AqBYJVt
me the whole time."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSlKTW34WS
I sat down on my bed as 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWW28o2Tbz
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdFP1G3CNt
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqAF9OQs7w
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZL66qO4wZ
"Gosh, you really should1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSeFOpo8b3
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoq3pQTIUD
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPg16UJmyi
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyadIY9X8eC
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL7MDmXgVi
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmcJhE8XS4
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkXzadPMj5
"Mike is annoying 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkB1m7MsNK
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetLOp9Lkxr
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPtXlcrh1R
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamTijbzxP6
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8PScNOr07
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjfu362Rgx
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lHSmfXWhh
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9D5xWo0HY
"Sorry, but just so you 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZBl2EewHV
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsrksdA5AJ
that pic of you and him together."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9cLKVbSMN
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqnEywnMhm
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjCCYqva37
I blushed and at the 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAHzP3JU7K
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgj9oYulO2
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPiwqGtVL3
other hidden agenda.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yzn82s1wi
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJVp2Zdlt5
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9k0UDWfGy
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG5LOXHibi
I sighed in surrender. 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfduv68qUS
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyYPSJykGd
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4bpO9U71W
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR4FQCcDcS
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."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFVVPKXbPr
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa8Is9oQP5
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ToJRlBNFa
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT52Su1rp7I
Zoey had an excited look1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgTbutJ8v1
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeImWnV6qUX
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfVAe4vH7d
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GlfmdRchR
clearly show all over her face.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcShGGMK2r8
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkGLA49Wzz
I shook my head. "And?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIlCovEPnH
Zoey folded her arms, 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfKBbDx5E6
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHZGBmq1ae
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S6pktRpaF
"Hold that thought. This1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyUPsZEaQt
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKYFRTo9m0
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98BD765HBw
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhtlRlbb51
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRuLSWzOOa
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLckUJS88P
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv9siGSDBf
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MazGkB9Zr
"Well, he hid in our closet."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHWU7QD98M
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMzMVa7eTI
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeAscLneLn
"Ya, why?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMEoIBiy3b
"Looks like we just 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuNB3S0HKl
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLboSQECZkk
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsGDHJtOTd
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."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRL6J1T7UC
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzJSFs0WP7
"What do you mean? You 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pya1eyBXv
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsHy5Hp3Yo
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46ebHDDywT
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u4E68CsFg
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeJgAcfHUL
"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."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvH10D9n2N
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrowcYmzINz
"I wanted to but I kept 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSggffhfJ1
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAdMC9zKyg
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z89s1KitL
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6HmzHGF7h
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7d6yVkfgX
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss2zvmJpdj
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaQ3vOusfM
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicaHWcmlg9
I quickly stood up and 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bsvRWGtYl
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPceT0JvNv
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK90oSl6hk8
her back.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDSUixbaPn
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CdZyFlqE3
"Zoey, you're going to 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYfmY74QxA
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwg9z4BvGF
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlB1UElcHe
own hair pink in the next ten years."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWViZm9nKK
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHCpOABTYK
"You're lying."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzO2Gws03R
"I'm telling the truth!"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTl2wmCqXG
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7IdiNBxn2
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD30gp6PXMg
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt452AAXsS
"I can't tell you that."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl2tT5DcgZ
"Why?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc1MMtmmCj
"Because it's 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL1GligXBU
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb71cmncEXX
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N40r5hYJv
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgklJj8qfKx
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNitjsox7t
"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."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw9UQe7rfM
"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.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO7CMDrA2r
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlr4nyorPr
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHshIcsNcv
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQY25CCgCF
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyj14sy9Av
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OrBzxwg1w
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OERMB4XmT
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBczUzzBgB8
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlTZpy3ex2
I playfully rolled my 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLmfLnpKXG
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rdS3vpwlz
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpiwkoj5ne
also looked worried.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsgUiEeUzs
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRTlaCMB0z
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYmdRdzH6X
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ7cYcgOdF
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgYtxCelL5
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaObCgp1C6v
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW5L1W1hf5
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeL1avF4HE
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI1mgOlnDP
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggeMGrgQtZ
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafnGgPjqGe
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrb1XYmdyJ
"Okay, first of all," 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuRK6hdEr6
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJS2qYj8Fr
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQoX1ZIqqQ
he wasn't mad at you."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJoKLllVoi
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFLfNDqWp6
"That, he couldn't say."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP2SMYur3C
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMoM16duzH
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKTM2FGsm5
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQSzvt5mLs
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx9ZmKZHNu
Christine pressed the 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijxftZTcrE
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEXf25GTkY
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwJG1ovNzc
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11sKQ0HBnP
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lRUPR8xcZ
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM5MKAUkCK
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XGE7NI8Nm
We got to YG right on 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIifIZzdxRT
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0T7gc4py2
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2mIKWd5Mw
arrived a few seconds earlier.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eByveiWun
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXV69RdjMT
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOU4CWWfoz
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfErNjCuh3i
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcEwioVdQg
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj0SzxNR8j
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNGl8DJatr
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsluLsBxe1V
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDsmkpofr2
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj27illBbTo
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbuUNTh3Sm
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi7yNQdSYS
"There will be no such 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRroSCKT6A
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviATBuoWPS
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaizjfADCb
"And you're making it 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrgt0pGYVg
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYvbgTblHa
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j35ZU8VJl
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeToGu6jUT
"Trust me, you don't 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUDTpjvSru
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AeuW3hsUP
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yTB0fRQTs
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDTr9TrGZT
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtrxAXh9td
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelmQj2SaRN
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHXR7kXETK
"Look, whether they are 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXejPGg4x5T
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2om8rqN1Gc
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBHJQdSOac
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TMFgqCuor
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRRqZpwdYS
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdvL2QcWjq
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI86iQvl0td
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmyiQcTVUZ
I gave Lee a sad smile 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiNMu21nL9
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xRfL07Q7c
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxexHpEJGjV
your life. Like suicide.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ALbOr6Uc
We started our way 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC8qBgpPKc
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp0erIh41n
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1nwghbpTK
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2QpvMq0hC
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC52K8MY62s
I quickly ran out of the1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpZp0U2VqG
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5WcXNxQJg
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSEeFgVNAg
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d8WSoXYbw
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5iwvRvdGw
check for it inside.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8iv4ljbdy
When I got to the 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaBOP3yOmB
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTSs6Sm8l3
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC0GTHxuyu
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f775W6uqo
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBfsz8Of5K
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA0nQ5lpm5
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6PWZTCkZT
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT9kuWqaPR
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7jA9O40QS
"Seriously, I can sue 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyYoWlG0vM
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCN9FDnmKq
fast. I never even heard him coming.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisTOS0qTqq
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKux2PonG9
"You're not my bodyguard1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk7oI68tdi
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIQJ5GkfHv
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYzTuyQod5
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXcYtD14uu
I blushed. "You know about that?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrWO9IL2Jw
"Everyone knows you have1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGEw6WygPb
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlHhwS9elF
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeveuT1FuKa
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj7Jv5yshj
"Looks like I did the 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0jDOh0SmU
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzLacgo1Jr
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Lw3QoYeZ
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzdAym0JWX
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D6R0LEI3o
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDmjaZlFTH
"And because you're a 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhilWvZXkJZ
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidvZVoBCcg
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtOtztdrIM
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaehaK4ykNl
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfOtZLfuIT
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1s7z8YPF3
"Can you at least tell 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46WVvC0gDG
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xx6GJsFZo
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmuns9BNKE
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioWmy0XPYn
"What dramatic effect?" 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOkqbd58Yv
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzVyv2uO3e
came closer. I took a warning step back.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAfeNwpQy8
"If you hadn't followed 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd69lsrRJj
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiy0UIZDVI
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzqNWgYCrG
room."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOIPqTVszf
"What surprise?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLx2VuOu2p
The elevator stopped and1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3JpCwKlpH
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmyA37vkqE
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos0BMnltPB
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98i7zrq89g
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHinNqzoDyL
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8IkGrtjuI
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1drre9vzi
"I already have a guess," I said.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHoEl8vdOb
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx1O5h2ElM
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IvT8UbRd9
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGllo6VdaO
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFzKbJ4Xvs
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYYprFyjzP
When we reached the 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2cCP0dWqQ
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxodUEByJbW
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOs21jkcPf
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM1kTaBlmH
In the conference room 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2VMYJVH0H
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U5El3jFNi
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxmpW8B2cY
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWTHkWMloO
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZqzh6xMFw
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9lHp0ALRi
though I did my best not to show it.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9TqSYAd9V
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLIMrRALEK
I looked to the opposite1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRU7VpnbLE
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hMQZDa9YV
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3s8reM2a7
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNxby4Dbxc
"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."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KwQe1TMQ7
G-Dragon quickly turned 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlu8HKDTPc
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUopB2Vyl8x
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYRnV0Z8gX
"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?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2W2JmRlKi
"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.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OU0tBV99S
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3DaoKrlKM
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqMrRNEu7S
"Wait," said Lisa who 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHIUW8vA1z
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRC6dDOa14
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE3bhGBdRJ
"It felt simple and 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TJc9oN1NW
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXtt2CMRIQ
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MQMyzUvA6
with G-Dragon today."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSYvmqjRlt
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ5tMe1ffG
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvhixQS7rM
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMssoObgKC
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9pg0d7CXe
"Ya, I know I'm a 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWHQGPFqf7
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOcS8h6j9B
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtf52PSetL
"If you mean us getting 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FArtlAZIx
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeAQIcEMqh
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKN32Apk1N
by coincidence."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjl051QOk4
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcqE4lgbJ7
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiT6QqPkhC
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5IZwK552u
The rest of the BTW crew1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg7Uudsj3r
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07TziC6sac
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Hf9bIfWv
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNChlcCF0oR
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM9GbwLXaC
"Hold up," said Zoey who1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKzSjUDcvb
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUpLF6Y1Z0
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoKeoaQMp6
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXTJyiNbfc
"Told you we'll 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgMQ4kbtgh
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYQ7Tqzg5K
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVaQg4dFjy
"But is he going to do 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwc8euyXP9
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa4P6EzczP
didn't really meet by coincidence."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWY9TqJrqD
There was silence in the1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7A3VB7CmV
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF5N7lmUzb
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEE7o25VgU
planning to do.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDwsc7UFjC
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDFIHCfolN
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zj3y2ZrqR
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1g4zJccx7
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgLQnrGYyI
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lRbgfXMQU
"And also because he's 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgjmP4Fbgj
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99dpLqQqKd
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSodQQV309c
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Z67FTbb2
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLdifD0z20
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKk2XCTPHd
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMjriJKfzb
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG8uiM2btZ
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZBmKGNB8B
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ415BEws2ys
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf3MoxVIA7
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUN1kOI6zY
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvyIHWMo22
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCCzoW8A9h
deal with G-Dragon instead.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkRnsqMVpj
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2t1auJJNx
"What do you want?" I asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgwHlRMLpv
G-Dragon looked at me as1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYpfH9DvFl
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpqyscceXy
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9oeIj0Aqy
came to any conclusions.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr8ytLlEnk
"To make things clear 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZUi1rF61n
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHAMSPmvhr
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJinUEWfl2
thinking about doing the same thing."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI3xSahjDZ
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZHMLX0SV6
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOhib5xuDC
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrViBAniaet
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ8aVoRgcn
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQE1sX3XAj
"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."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8zkAMo5MO
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJziecy9ir
"All's fair in love and 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0THqWhWmbk
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLiXBqOKhk
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFqVEpiiC4
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV10tzwJrVU
"Come on," Christine 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaNsh38115
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSzGxDdcKo
won't be here for long and you know it."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfLAId5NWE
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJjRIZrhu4
"BTW is nothing but a 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjKka9Ah5d
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIkbUFGeds
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecrix8ClWc
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU37Myi9Lg
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSrO7ZF5Gy
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIauRqNm0t
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61CbxBZfAt
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupk3jP9ipR
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPkKjM8JYl
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW9hCrN4Aj
"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.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAoMywUKor
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPxUjbTDJW
Upon saying that, the 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmg3X4RN6Y
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwSfqJQv6z
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUn3YCRJkJ
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nvjfs4vdq
seated stood up.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ldsHeyJlD
I gulped. I hope the 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXTVp7UOnX
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH0b35drRl
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWcMzXaHOm
The two managers had 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxa8qZHAcQ
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfcAMrLDlw
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTta4AoL7w
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgny7FixTgI
is wrong.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ477hq08Gx0
"Good that you're all 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j2rcQYwmg
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9MpbvlZ9I
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRiKVEhKKp
I have always hated it 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ4NhHYBD5
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3isLnL67H
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIf2Mjlaj0
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjue9Jt3tFq
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgf7khm04A
their seats.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWlKJcVc2V
The two managers and Lee1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhadaGLw41r
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsajixrbXVF
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ9R7w9Z0o
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6WCNw3isL
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUdQI20lVu
was.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbJ4B4Jf4D
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKEALnGhSW
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXLdlybo8H
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSKXhmn4kX
Zoey sighed loudly in 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKDHO2aRaE
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC08KJoXAt
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHhaRtj9L0
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlaAWfTnMI
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYtLVaIdJw
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78IbKRt2ZN
The two managers 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMunVG1YxpL
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJzokmNb0z
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGfQRvrLd8
That was so not cool.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ4ickWXyr
"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."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRWZsyebMD
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhVR1uR2q6
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfJkAlgXcB
My ears perked up when 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPnuOzEBJM
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC0hk0PBK7
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XG7f5ZOGC
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KRm4UA7cf
"We heard you outside 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ZCE13MZh
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR9X8YG7bu
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A4b57zVuK
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUywZU6xKuy
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRpnflO5OT
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbuWyW165q
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutdYbD2IzU
through further scrutiny about this decision."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu95vC7Qoj
I smiled. Even if they 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqIJlLXPAM
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWR2uRReVV
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32geqmV5nv
There was an exciting 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrMvENpyeK
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsFCvZeDmd
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h0QOfFNFl
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACjXdYIAOU
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1iLLf35M1
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IeR42oqd6
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixEXnafnST
I turned to my other 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqcm4cEwiV
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYZEuoRCsh
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1UtNZltX4
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ha2fGH2Rk
now, didn't matter.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9nvOChBcS
"You heard them when 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwLMAbatCW
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAhRGLX5x4
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lduOfpnF0
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCPXsNOBIR
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlNnLPBhh5
"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.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG82IhsDQ5Z
This time it was me, or I1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CxXdGHO9H
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGaWyRZmoD
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY6yhscOS6
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZoSwKTg8k
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjTupiGE1b
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5y2CPCxuu
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rGOaJ4jJl
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hHF04f4Sa
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMu5lq43lZ
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsLbNOOeQF
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zb1VhwniV
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn6okqpqMq
"We all agree," said Daniel.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIkNGJQn9h
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBERGWwoOMc
"But just because it 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDhWsoUbVW
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoihAUsA22
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYNpyaCqic
"Okay, so that's settled1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYvBZ9hNfr
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VBIBl3yV8
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSIifl77sb
BTW official."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aRtPdQgDM
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUaWByLowf
I noticed that most of 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4DeO8MpuJ
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E4Rh9IZc1
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtkQkNAkbD
when she looked at me and I grinned.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFQ0T1BpSc
"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."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcqykAuors
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1zb5zxUfi
"Before we make BTW 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8tDpPsxIk
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Q6l3RKgQ
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWyesZscXE
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gMBrDMc7S
low for a while. Is that good?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnRmlm8CM5
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAESg38hGR
"That's fair enough," 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7v6s7gyiV
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC40ebOXnhU
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPivBYb3A50
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmV6L8g8Z3
so."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPhLjhJy7p
"So you want to crush 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmnxUDiRtn
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4mkXmuP0h
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dwwuCLZ6c
strategy."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip2DmfVXWb
"Then if all is well and1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JjEszOsvb
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLQu6qYn6X
updated and not a word on social media."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYrkGogMw6
I stood up from my seat 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tLbtqB8Wu
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPMdJoq5x1
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdOEMSs1my
walk out, I stopped them.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAUvxa00mU
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXmWq8WdwR
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPvZzh48wB
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsBc7Hao95
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxgxwCSojr
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64euRwoSpN
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm39koNyvd1
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObxMBJXouY
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxqtzICWZH
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWMtzMPfDh
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyYBAgmNiG
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTqg9UkAtt
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQV1kZIGtm
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxxf281AkB
"This is like the best 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJOwGeXWBH
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q4wB3eVK6
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7J5Sjrs5D
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFzUblERPT
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkY1lZaT7E
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ839hRKu2mt
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh5u0e1d48
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ35sWF5TN
"I knew there was a 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwWbLV0QkQ
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpf5quhoEr
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJG5OJVqwf
G-Dragon.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5dLuz5ZSh
"You knew?" Christine asked.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNLNzdJsGh
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwANqt7lyS
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTrXLXRDEI
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtafP2j11X
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRUKGygEll
"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.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXsYFXFaM2
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbYMm9mBrJ
"Well, you guys can tell1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfRNyzyHRf
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk7aTrZtHs
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIn5dOgJIH
aren't going to go into the same car."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjWuPswwrI
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuxTJbTjWN
Everyone else started to1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoJ85Y1ETZ
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMqFxM9uPh
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ2nHjDFZs
only G-Dragon and I.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2iCRFoNCN
"I'm mad at you," I started.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVjgR54KcE
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyCk7Y6NuT
"Save it." I held my 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkFSyMMayH
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRbkQuAmlz
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxpSSY2yFT
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgnWsEZuUh
a war again."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCndSHcftv
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt00gsKTLV8
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX9SLAGcIf
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfjWiYcUEx
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPutM2gMLn
G-Dragon looked at me 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1opC49qRA
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25cvt4t0W0
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVHKgnesIv
stab in the heart.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeWLkWBz4L
"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."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmARGGNin9j
"You know, the others 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcaupi2wrx
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNemRj11owC
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDpNTtFS3Q
with WINNER yesterday."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4HMPWDzhT
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLw4djDkiY
I nodded my head. What I1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpTUs07E7b
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpFYTZldEN
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG1NOFL4FJ
of Seunghoon and I.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrdtJXsfIN
"You know you and I can 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19BpGLjZ5C
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEM48qUWW2
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNjdOAsuCw
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB3SFb74ji
down the rocks."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwyM1VgLRE
I headed for the door 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTsn76fPzV
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN2ds1oqsF
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AqEtwv2W6
Zoey, waiting.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ElMt1Jnh
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesw0gWY2jF
"I sure hope so," I said1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoMonsRabq
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz8EDEaQRn
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PrDloY0t8
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmOxM86TqA
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKOWgfsIud
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0B5buSR9w
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tWMPsTrYD
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5vuA4IHfB
"You know computers are 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9L6Zlg7MH
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVW201Gvgz
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkETssG4GvX
supposed to."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVAULmjayn
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtlArTK27F
I smiled. "You always call me that."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPUOfEi7PJ
"Ya, because you're smart too."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot4LUf4RTh
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjiggLiYrJ
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CyslQzYXm
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oqj49ftP9
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpokVZtAWbH
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahKLePTEEG
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
