"OMG! It's The Toxins!" Rosé exclaimed as she approached us, still not believing whether she was seeing us for real.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Oo0mLwmka
"Sam, hit me right now because I'm seeing Rosé and I feel like I'm dreaming," said Mike as he started to rub his eyes.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiubM7C3WCy
I rubbed his shoulder gently and then hit him so hard that he yelled.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGq2FJAK3U
"Ouch! What did you do that for?" Mike asked as he rubbed his shoulder and looked at me.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM0GTSBudb
"Would you prefer I slapped you in the face instead?" I asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxDo4LQwCt
Rosé with the rest of BlackPink giggled at what happened. I looked at my brother and I could clearly see him blushing.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHuJdLnlqi
"Is this really for real!" Zoey asked excitedly as she jumped. "It's really BlackPink!"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3NbUtjZ7J
"Oh, gosh!" said Christine. "This is so cool!"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSqMSFZzzH
"Pretty awesome if you ask me," said Daniel. "I still can't believe it myself."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTIULZvoUf
"We also feel the same," said Jisoo as she came up to us and she had a wide smile on her face.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZouupMNcv
"I am such a big fan of you guys!" said Jennie.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0an7CpXEz
"Same here," I said.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sABPRC4jJ
"Me too!" Lisa exclaimed excitedly.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaqJ4pT1TG
"Mike has a crush on you, Jennie," Daniel blurted out all of the sudden.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptiip2fiMX
"What! No, I don't!" Mike turned to look at his brother angrily.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHy7TK0t1g
"Yes, you do."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjiWZtMbPi
"No, I don't."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsRMJDyleO
"Yes, he does," said Christine as she turned to address Jennie.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNzlzeslsf
"So cute," said Jennie as she smiled at Mike. "Just so you know, I also like you too."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJrc5DBdjU
"Mike has finally got a girlfriend," said TOP.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM2WfuMMyZ
"Ya, he does," said Zoey as she smiled with glee at Mike. "Hallelujah!"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhhUTcZ2Oz
"Stop mocking me, you guys," said Mike. "It's so not funny anymore."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKqoJFvYzv
The BlackPink members couldn't help but smile at Mike and I for one could clearly see how embarrassed and shy he was.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplR8NoXb2w
"Okay, guys, enough," I said. "I think Mike has had enough for one day, don't you think?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGDELwvmlL
"It's not wrong being a fan boy, isn't it?" TOP asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMeOzK2lAp
"No, it's not." I turned to look at TOP. "But let's not forget that we have an agenda."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTDCZHLjUG
All eyes were on me and when I looked at each of The Toxins, I could clearly see they were confused.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs2re0k3uh
"What agenda?" Christine asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvqDW3jTuJ
"You know," I said, 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh8M9HS6ga
trying not to blurt out to BlackPink and the receptionist who was 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROcooUqBUZ
looking at us that WINNER were waiting for us outside. "The agenda we 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr5N7P9XN4
made some time ago upstairs."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O6Otb0mWx
It was then that 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO9TMoC1QA
realisation hit The Toxins and they were all nodding their heads and 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCJYP5zTUL
saying things at the same time in agreement.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIHYBAsV9K
"I remember now," said Daniel. "Ya, we better get going."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl41MPXQvp
"Where are you all heading?" Lisa asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvU20BLG92
"Ummm, we were just 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpk6dYYJgr
planning to go back to the hotel," I said. "Since we're done with 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX3c16XLqG
practise. TOP is willing to drive us there."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvx6EMLsjo
"Well, that's not nice,"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYeZewnJnR
said Rosé as she pouted her lip and folded her arms. She looked like a 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20smM9L3Ho
cute angry little girl. "We get to meet you guys for the first time and 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1k325gqpu
we don't get to hang out? That's pretty unfair, don't you think?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasUPr2hZfH
"So true," said Jisoo. "Why don't we all hang out?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJMZuBuOgH
This just got tough. On 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZDYe5kIzV
one hand, we are trying to hide the fact that we already made plans to 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa82dLTDcfN
hang out with WINNER and worse off, without Yang Hyun-suk's consent. And1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl5kiZD8c3
now, BlackPink also want to hang out with us, and "still" without their1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKHfb0UTx9
manager's consent. I had to think of something.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvS9wjN35E
I scratched my head. 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB8WFHcJMA
"Mmm, to be honest, I'm not sure if your manager will like it that we 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ6fyZJgXJ
are all hanging out. He would freak out, don't you agree?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ93MRGQsE
"Why?" Jennie asked. "It's not like you're dangerous to be around with, are you?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fvq5M5k3L
I rolled my eyes and muttered,"you've no idea."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mBJQQI8l1
"Our manager clearly classifies us as dangerous," said Zoey.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUhXnu3IZ0
"Like we are weapons of ultimate destruction," said Daniel.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F6Nb7acBJ
"He also calls us monkeys because we're too hard to handle," said Christine.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTsQFA8PID
"But just because he 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkJqxTTUVG
calls us monkeys, doesn't mean we're weapons of destruction," said Mike.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjpRL3dfzb
"We mess up, ya, but destruction is a different thing."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVIVNLXDmF
"Wow, Mike, really smart," said Jennie as she giggled.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFB9KxXmQq
"Thank you." Mike smiled confidently.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfB3chJqaP
"Well, I would advise that you don't hang out with them," said TOP. "They are bad to be around with."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eK2jm39i3
"That's not what Seungri1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLP6TXikB4
oppa said some days ago," said Rosé. "He said they are fun to hang out 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BVIRFYA68
with. So, we want to hang out with them too."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkLw1fzU3a
I wanted to slap my face1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuWmow01b4
in annoyance but I ended up looking at TOP, giving him the eye. TOP 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQXSAElN8c
shrugged his shoulders knowing that I was blaming him for Seungri's 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLdBVxHKfV
mess. Seungri had a big mouth, that's for sure.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5nhtWsQZt
"I think it will be a good idea to hang out," said Zoey. I looked at her.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aODrQd3ME
"But, Zoey.....," she interrupted me before I could finish.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuM2HclBuj
"Come on, Sam, think 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3g9QrDe1A
about it," she said. "We don't know how long until we finally decide to 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnmltLo6yy
go back home and this might be the only time to hang out with BlackPink.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiP1haHMOZ
We finally get to hang out with girls for once instead of guys all the 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDfRoBf9RC
time."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpRBIQA7cQ
"I agree," said Daniel.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3RltmHZwg
"Me too," said Christine.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSVy0paYBT
I looked at Mike and he was looking back at me. He finally cleared his throat.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFyOHIjvek
"I also agree," he said finally.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH5ivkAE7m
It looked like I had no 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4JKHZRxKQ
choice. WINNER were waiting for us outside and would probably be 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreX8HjTC14
wondering what's taking us so long. And also, Zoey did have a point. We 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqODV3Kc4th
might never know when we will ever hang out with BlackPink.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyfAKKJ0s0
"Fine, let's go," I said.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx2XphKmyy
"Yes!" everyone 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQQtGIlNiF
exclaimed so happily and I was soon huddled up with hugs from my group 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCeL56FfYY
and surprisingly from BlackPink too. TOP stood there, looking on.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AkWlnlDD2
"You're so going to get into trouble," said TOP as he shook his head.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9yRaY2ArH
"I know," I said after 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjW0UwNNR7
everyone stopped hugging me. "Remember the question you asked me before I1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNvD32eDsr
walked into the lobby, the one I never answered?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzydzvC6wZ
"Ya. What about it?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlUAJd3UcG
I smiled at TOP. "Follow me and we will talk."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG574UynEQY
I started to walk out of1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKZLvPhyBf
the lobby and the others followed. We found ourselves walking across 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2KnPGjclN
the car park and we stopped right next to TOP's car. I looked at TOP, 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQB0fb1jkh
then at his car, telling him with my eyes to open the door.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZJVryerc1
"What are you up to?" TOP asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jd38cHl2H
"We're going to pack our gym bags in your car and go hang out with BlackPink," I answered.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxarAVkSr2
"But that doesn't answer my question."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZRwimQiwi
"What question?" Jisoo asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ8is4RtpG
"Just like we want to hang out with you guys, we also planned to hang out with WINNER," I said, as I looked at Jisoo.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuKZUze3xN
The four BlackPink members suddenly looked confused.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJV3JBgIi5
"Wait, WINNER are here too?" Jennie asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xMlnmdHIY
"Ya. That was the agenda Sam was talking about," said Christine.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VZxxijCNl
"Oh," said Lisa as she slowly nodded her head. "Won't that get us into even bigger trouble?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7PELVeCvk
"That's what I told 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJoZiAWouH
Sam," said TOP as he looked at me. "When the fans see you guys hanging 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW71igPDGl
out, they will take pictures and post them all over social media."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz48sQJtXuF
"I already know that and1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvUAfNGCOe
that's why we will just let it be," I said. "Now open the door to your 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFWwZqIoOZ
car so that we can leave our gym bags in there."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMcnTE2fs6
"Are you hearing 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydPwmWD2qZ
yourself right now?" TOP asked. He looked really surprised. "You agree 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxVSlcyDuE
that you would rather get in trouble with our managers or what?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxKD8MwMdN
I tried to put a smile on my face. "If you've a little faith in me, you'll see what I mean."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD1KV3ZjJ4
"I don't know if I 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakg4QDCRB7
should trust you on this one, Sam. Remember what happened that day at 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVYYbm2wNQ
the Arts Centre because of your plan? You would have gotten hurt."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujlVCxNMQd
"What plan?" Jennie asked as she looked at TOP and then at me.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAUCDHJY8G
"Don't ask," said Zoey as she rubbed the back of her neck. "It's a long story."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pnS09AUwt
"Don't bring that up 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUftKWpvBSL
again, will you?" I asked as I looked sternly at TOP. "What I mean is 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFhQ9pR1zG
that we don't have to hide from our managers that we have already met. 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBlH5z1Pr5
We'll make it look like we all met by coincidence."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWNCkDk9Iw
"And how are you going to do that?" TOP asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78JBjo1YqN
"We already have our 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVfDJjhE07
fans to do that, don't we?" I asked with my eyebrow raised. "Pictures 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRvbmexmdd
will be posted all over social media and once our managers see that we 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBUSsModDJ
have already met, there's simply nothing they can do about it."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1yZ1LMqHA
"Sounds like a swell 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VL2gKPpoG
idea to me," said Mike. "With the photos that will be circulating, it 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDJ7KC7sKZ
will all seem like we met by coincidence and just decided to hang out. 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUQ9ldCLJz
Brilliant, Sam."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdxgitTDsk
"I also love the idea," said Jennie.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIffJL3AEI9
And everyone else seemed1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ci2wJwPX
to agree. I smiled at the positive response I got and I turned to look 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLU8aiMSvp
at TOP who looked at me with amazement. He shook his head and smiled.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2oPmkMjyl
"You never seize to amaze me," said TOP. "Looks like you win on this one. Again."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl72bTx0U1f
"Sam is just so smart," said Jisoo. "All this looks like it's going to work out just fine."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhVI4ZsKvy
"We better get going, shall we?" I asked. "These guys have been waiting too long outside the gate."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOMnOYQm5W
After the four Toxins 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHySjsC01f
and I had packed our bags in TOP's car, we soon headed for the gate and 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRLeiiVzgX
the guard standing by, opened it for us. When we all walked out of the 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvivRx9gVXA
premises, standing close by were WINNER. And by the looks on their 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusH1BwQ93f
faces, they must have grown quiet impatient with all the waiting.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg9JPRiD8w
"What took you guys 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl3OIMDGIU
so......?" Seunghoon was about to ask but immediately he saw BlackPink, 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE0U1Sf8vG
he stopped his sentence short. "What are they doing here?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eO442PpHt
"They are the ones who took us so long to get here," said Christine.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV0YdCvesA
"For a moment, I thought it was our manager," said Seungyoon looking surprised.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3czfAu0R1z
"No, they will be hanging out with us too," I said.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFS2pcd4jh
"Huh? No, they won't," said Mino, as he shook his head.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB3VZFcCkp
Lisa had her hands on her hips. "Yes, we will."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡledsjQ6ftQ
"The Toxins already made1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU0jLDwhqn
plans to hand out with us first," said Seunghoon. "So I don't get why 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsALjKpW27H
you would want to join us. We're already way too many, don't you agree?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKoCcDVAqU
"I agree," said Seungyoon.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm5tzwZhMw
"Me too," said Jinwoo.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBK0fo2O9n
"It's not fair that you get to hang out them just because you want to," said Jennie.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fcteppk9t
"We met them first," said Mino mockingly. "You snooze, you lose."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAHM3zJCuR
Jisoo stomped her foot angrily on the ground. "Well, that's not very nice!"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8O7YlQrfi
"Guys, stop!" I said as I decided to intervene. "Fighting isn't going to get us anywhere."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJThBBEPjN
"Well, they are fighting over us," said Daniel as he smirked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFvfpXCIqF
"You're not helping, Daniel." I turned to look at my brother.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmzR4sR1LS
"Sorry." He shrugged his shoulders. "I couldn't help it."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2zfe8MLAR
"Look, guys," I turned to face them. "I know we planned to hang out with WINNER first....."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJTBe2ovHs
The four WINNER members were smiling thinking they might have won this round, but they were in for a surprise.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dq3KauGLi
"....but now that BlackPink are here and want to hang out, we have no choice but to let them join us."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwwI3hemWx
"YES!" The four BlackPink members exclaimed together with the other Toxins. WINNER murmured in disapproval.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1lZTG7gPp
"But why, Sam?" Seunghoon asked. "It was supposed to be WINNER and The Toxins. Not WINNER, The Toxins and BlackPink."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyjkFm5aCP
"But what can we do?" I 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm5sbrGa6o
asked. "They caught us right before we could leave and they wanted to 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkxz73RCtU
hang out too. Don't forget, our managers don't even know that we're all 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq6XXNAYn5
here together."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0TPS7mUGq
"Ya, but we're too much of a crowd, don't you think?" Jinwoo asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOUi7BQdG7
"Come on, guys," said 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYR5xWddEs
Zoey as she came to stand next to me to address WINNER. "It's going to 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyitW8P443
be so much fun. One day it will be just WINNER and The Toxins. Don't 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KE2KTxK4b
worry."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvqyaC7bO9
"Whatever," said Seungyoon as he folded his arms and looked upwards at the sky.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y8B5XJf2Z
I smiled at his cute reaction. "Cheer up," I said. "You'll see that we're going to have a blast."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h9io1k1u6
"That's so true," said 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkZxfBmO0d
Rosé as she came to stand on my other side. "So, what are we waiting 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp1tUsJXGI
for? We better get going before our manager ever gets to look out of his1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE9knxLNvq
window and sees us all standing outside the gate."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTVVIcuWEA
"Oh, boys," I said to WINNER. "There has been a change of plans."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C8z3nNzgo
"What plans?" Jinwoo asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIhjBh45MV
I told them what I had 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGIV8ufpxP
discussed with the others earlier in the car park about us being 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGid2GwhNw
discovered by fans so that our managers will think we all met by 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPOjx5T5hZ
coincidence. They didn't seem to object to it and said it was a pretty 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9byuvk3iB
good idea.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPsarf3BZb
"You guys go ahead and 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNAWRbWHLv
have fun," said TOP as he looked like he was about to turn around and 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnw9rImK2S
head back through the gate. "I'll be heading home since you don't need 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnHzUeVsMc
me around anymore."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsbde5Uzf3
"Oh, no, you don't," I said as I quickly turned around and held his hand. "I still need you around."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttQVCXsdFP
"Need or want?" he asked as he smiled at me. I rolled my eyes at him.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXCk7XrU7G
"You never asked about that last time," I said with a hint of annoyance in my voice.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1YkkuQAhp
"I like to be wanted, Sam," he said. "You of all the ladies in the world know that."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTisKvuk8Z
Zoey, Christine and the 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1jZZP0ddb
rest of BlackPink giggled behind me obviously enjoying the little scene 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWPKEjYin6
in front of them. I heard Seunghoon mutter "oh brother." Oh brother, 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFviJ329AUx
indeed.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqgK8SvhDy
"Fine," I looked down at1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jbQaT4UZX
my feet, took a deep breath and went back to look at him, changing my 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscZYCq7qMt
facial expression. "Don't go, Choi. I want you around. Don't go, 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwgJ1TSZua
please."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwY5M5ExQ8
The girls yelled with glee and I could hear the boys mutter in disapproval. TOP's lips were raised into a wide smile.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJYtuRgeIA
"You'll make a perfect 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURXlYXvNa8
actress someday. You had me very convinced since you called me by my 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcto4YdLmq5
real name," he said as he leaned in closer and held my chin. "And I 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05aUckLshf
would never hesitate when it comes to the kissing scenes."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tg5Gt8pwp
"Okay, enough," said 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpgB9IeBYr
Seunghoon as I felt him come from behind. I felt him wrap his arms 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszILVhDr31
around me and lift me off the ground, turning me away from TOP.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNUlgEJO5F
"Hoony! Put me down!" I kicked my legs in mid-air as he took a few steps down the street away from the others.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kjROnWbrv
"Oh, now you're calling 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfiKwsARmC
me Hoony," said Seunghoon as he continued on his way and I continued to 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5zGyuOka8
struggle in his arms. "That's interesting."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHCGaJurF8
"Don't be so flattered," I said as I frowned. "Now put me down! Guys, help!"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFE20UsTD9
"Come on, Seunghoon," called out Jennie. "You can put her down now!"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvlEQ6UnJY
"No," he said as he continued walking. I could hear quick footsteps behind us as I kicked the air again.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKiAfctrAr
"This is ridiculous! Please, put me down!" I exclaimed. "This is embarrassing!"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK6TBvTlLj
"I like it when you call me Hoony," said Seunghoon. "Call me that again, will you?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3AGJVffwN
"Heck no! Put me down!"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6BwvgBY65
"You're such a fighter, aren't you?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K6lPSqlgL
"She's a feisty one, I can tell you that," said TOP behind us.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Y2nEeYBC
"She's always been a fighter," said Zoey. "Though she looks pretty innocent on the outside."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZISuFqQ4M
"Oh, really?" Rosé asked as she now sounded interested. "Tell me more."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvMp2QEaTK
I rolled my eyes when I 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfonHCBecW
realised that the others weren't going to help me out at all. I looked 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNRNwcrlt2
in front of me and realised most civilians walking down on either side 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xn2CGxMON
of the street were looking our way, most especially at Seunghoon and I 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H9mAPyXnf
since I was being carried in his arms. I felt so embarrassed as I tried 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhHe9xepVR
to break away from him again.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBptYT5lboy
"Oh, we'll tell you," 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlJqP3Xmz3
said Mike. "Hey, Zoey, do you remember that time when Sam punched that 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoaMYkvGqa
guy in the face on your second day of high school?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl573azulN
"Oh, I remember that day," said Zoey. "You wouldn't believe it but all of that happened so suddenly."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWKv1ePiV7
"Tell us what happened," said Mino.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkzEimmKp9
"Gosh, guys, my life story isn't some movie," I said as I rolled my eyes and kicked my feet in the air again.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkEEcfW4H6
"It's is now," said Seunghoon. "Now hold still so that I can also listen."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jYGq4t3Jh
I rolled my eyes and 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBbm8VXc3e
started to think that if I could turn around and punch Hoony in the 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt0JA6Q4oX
face, I would gladly do it without regret.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoM1rlIerF
Zoey continued the 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC7JBdpnq9
story, "it so happened that we were walking out of the school bus on 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZkLH1PXtg
Tuesday, right after we opened school. For Sam and I, it was our second 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtRgodnK66
day in high school just as Mike put it. As we walked out of the bus, a 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIvvoXXtDP
classmate of ours, I believe his name was Johnny....?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPiLkv0xND
"Ya, it was Johnny," said Christine.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK1Qf7SLao
"You even remember his name?" I asked. To be honest, I was a little surprised.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAOSgBBGAq
"Of course I remember his name," said Zoey. "It's hard not to forget."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHeCp1RNM2
"So what did Johnny do?" Rosé asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemFUwUpfq2
"He was the like the 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIuEoymOWH
most popular guy in school, since he was in the school football team and1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCR59PzQyb
everything," continued Zoey. "The thing is, he always used to make fun 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKcyljEKqj
of Sam since we were little kids. I always thought he liked her."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVxrvyQqAF
"No, he didn't!" I yelled. I quickly closed my mouth when my voice echoed down the street and people looked my way.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQXvjkXifQ
"Of course he did. Any 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCquJjoWqV2
who, when we got out of the bus, I was talking with Sam until he pulled 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp22aWySKW
her hair from behind. He always used to do that even in class since he 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCAm9OCmfV
also used to sit behind her. And the next thing I know, Sam had quickly 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98mrR8BC5Z
turned around and all I heard was a bone crunching sound. When I turned 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eb0ZQlb1I
around, Johnny was on one knee holding his bloody nose."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBM2mVQT93
Everyone around Zoey listening to the story were like, "oooh!" Even Seunghoon.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHosmpUspd7
"It wasn't that painful," I said. "He didn't even cry."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNGTufbdAU
"A kid would have cried, Sam," said Daniel. "Johnny wasn't one."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxVW6r6H9T
"Did you get into trouble, Sam?" Lisa asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJN2nQm9NT
"Apparently, she 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbImb3IGOM
didn't," Christine answered. "It all happened when they were still in 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzznnavJA9H
the school parking lot and there were no teachers around."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQxXmtKdTw
"And besides, Johnny 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIqjQBPBaY
couldn't report her either," said Mike. "Not because he liked her, but 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMpIBxkirD
because Sam was too sweet and innocent to ever get into trouble."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEfbMsIUTQ
"That's not true," I 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8zdPMVkXJ
said as I tried to turn around to look at the others but I couldn't. "He1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV3Khfqbox
had the chance to report me to the school nurse."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDbi4aHmt8
"Ya, who didn't believe 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP88qkysWuY
him because Samantha Glasson was the angel of the school who wouldn't 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWtGZUZzGB
even hurt a fly," said Daniel. "I was there in that school ward, you 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfEwmjmqeQ
know? She didn't believe a thing."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFXiqBTfxV
"Sam was always a 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTrmcJ4pd2
teacher's favourite and that's why she never got into any trouble," said1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoaBRYiODa
Zoey. "Johnny even had to lie to his coach that he broke his nose while1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38788z5yQd
riding a bike and hit the pavement because it was pointless telling him1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6HolvLUYW
the truth."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJGM1BzxKp
"Well, at least he never lost his good looks or else I would have done much worse," I said.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZWjOzULyn
"Ya, I know. Since then, he's always been so nice to you and not bullying you all the time."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqGTzLsWJg
"Now I see how she never gets into trouble with Collins," said TOP. "She has that perfect angel face."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyDOwBKGx3
"You got that right," said Jinwoo. I could almost imagine Christine frowning.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5mREyVGfN
"I don't have an angel 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHiJ1GH2R2
face," I said. "All that happened in high school was simply because of 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pWhBgv8Wf
pure luck. And besides, I had already built a reputation among the 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAjXivDNzg
teachers so they always took my side."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJC9hfjvgO
Seungyoon laughed behind me. "Spoken like one who knows how to work on her charm."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MsSZocCk0
"No, I don't!"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hn9j1aPnJ
"Yes, you do," said 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfCLE0UTSG
Seunghoon as he finally let my feet touch the ground when we stopped 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6RW3155vK
right next to a bus stop. I felt relieved.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWci0j2Dkf
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Seunghoon. "It was about time you put me down."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWN98zbhhI
"You were getting really heavy," said Seunghoon. "Besides, I was afraid that you might just punch me."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBpPCFWHj5
"Don't kid yourself," 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQJAE3Kexj
said Zoey. "Sam would never punch anyone unless it's necessary. And you 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdw0deULem
also have a cute face so she wouldn't like to ruin it."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKFxYuxbMa
"Ha, don't tempt me," I said as I cracked my knuckles.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZGqPRQJPs
"So what are we even doing here?" Jinwoo asked as he looked up and down the street.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8RZ2O7dZf
"We're supposed to hang 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg10T5nlKT2
out, aren't we?" I suggested. "I just don't know where, to be honest." I1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcfHOT3zBK
ended up scratching my head and leaning my back on the pole of the bus 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO0MXUGPTR
stop sign.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGYXQAPMTU
"Or we can just wait for the bus since Seunghoon brought us here in the first place," said Seungyoon.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvNr6MnbfU
"Well, we have to think of something or else we might just go in the bus and end up going nowhere," said Jisoo.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokevCcaDpH
"Why don't we do that?" 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcNnAHCndx
Zoey suggested. "Just let the bus drive us wherever it goes. I bet we 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dIKVRCIBW
will figure out where to go from there."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWSWYa0ADS
"That sounds crazy, but it might just work," said TOP.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJZ8LROg7u
"Oh, look!" Christine pointed down the street. "Here comes the bus now."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39UMf0iQQL
"I can't believe I'm 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrzefnGtj7
about to enter a bus with no clue as to where I am going," I said. 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJLS48sSqt
"Anyway, I think it's a good thing since we have never used public 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoall9gLaP
transport before during our stay here."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgEep4vLBL
"That sounds like an adventure on its own, doesn't it?" Seunghoon asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIzJN63msg
I stared up at the clear1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcBKgvrV4T
blue sky as I thought of what to say next. "I guess you're right on 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTHapS0VHA
that one." I turned to smile at him.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJMzB6wkrE
The bus got closer and 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hzscokfo8
stopped right in front of us. The doors automatically flew open. At 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A0Q48oxtD
first we hesitated, looking at each other and wondering who was going to1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQYXkGZSBw
go in first.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsLGqijDZH
"If you're worried about the bus fare, don't worry," said TOP. "We can all go in and I'll pay."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAkZDh3qyv
"I was waiting for you to say that," I said as I smiled at TOP. "That's why I needed and not wanted you around."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHySlNMDd5J
"Ladies, first," said Mino.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz0D1blMA7
"Thank you, Mino," said Zoey as she got into the bus first, then the rest of us ladies followed.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQKMQSlWyU
"Collins is going to freak if he were ever to find out that we're in a bus," said Christine as she took a seat.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWITWyCzl2
"So will our manager," said Rosé as she took the next set of seats behind Christine.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYim4Ka96UV
"This going to be so fun," said Zoey as she sat next to Rosé.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SEIMH7PLm
"Wanna take a selfie?" Rosé asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmu5GmgQW3
"Sure!"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZWBqomSlq
I sat behind Rosé and 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUtMBeZGnT
Zoey who were busy taking pictures with Rosé's phone. Jisoo and Lisa sat1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdg2Ju85zb
behind me. I looked around the bus and noticed that there were only 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnX3HjKJIF
three people in the bus apart from us. They were all older looking who 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibhaPWuA7S
seemed to be minding their own business. They occupied the last three 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNOMoalHnP
rows in the bus. The bus wasn't full like I thought it would be.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyZ0RpyDKg
"Weird," I said when Jennie came to sit next to me. "I thought it was full."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VElpUTchA
"Must be because it's a Sunday in the morning," said Jennie.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iadK2X32w
"It's almost close to noon," said Jinwoo as he sat on the opposite side of the bus. "Doesn't look like it's a busy hour."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt51M6GSloG
"Won't Collins be calling us soon?" Mike asked as he sat in front of Jinwoo.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9dlqympxe
"Don't scare me, Mike," 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE4yhWseBv
said Zoey as she immediately stood up from her seat. Rosé quickly pulled1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ438n1tIVo4
her back down with her hand on Zoey's arm.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng4F1CXCbV
"You're making her nervous again," said Daniel as he came in the bus and sat next to Jinwoo.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWjL1SxHxn
"Well, he is supposed to1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pHFq3gNnh
call to check up on us," I said. "We'll just say that we went out with 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUiTQaOC9g
TOP. And in that way, we will supposedly meet with WINNER."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun2XpFJHYW
"And what about us?" Jisoo asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCwwK8RNvU
"Well, the receptionist 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa5yRPqCVR
is obviously going to tell our managers that we've already met 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzygIvtpv41
BlackPink," I answered. "So, I'm not that worried."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsHxigzpZm
"Smart," said Seungyoon who also sat on the opposite side with TOP in front of Jinwoo and Daniel.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNSyb8tUnL
"That's why I think 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6HjN99erP
girls with brains are hot," said Seunghoon who sat in the same row as I 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW76Mbxu3S
was with Jennie on the opposite side. He was looking at me deeply with 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf45gMuhENM
his hand under his cheek and his elbow leaning on the top of the seat.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUONqgCI44
"Remind me to slap him if he acts funny, will you, Mino?" I said to Mino who sat next to Seungyoon close to the window.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLWflQEFR3
"Whatever you say, BK," said Mino as he gave me a thumbs up.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQE8ykf2vK
I hadn't noticed that 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4fqet77bY
the bus was already moving until I looked out of the window and down the1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqsIxiInOX
streets of Seoul. It's been a while since I ever got to use public 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUD9GYPPjj
transport and it reminded me of the old days back home when I would use 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGpQ7SJKhT
the bus to move around town.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc38FrWNOc
"Hey, guys," said Mike. I turned to look at him and he had his phone in his hand. "Someone's calling."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1clarIyrf
"Please, don't tell me it's Collins!" Zoey squealed as she covered her ears and skidded down on her seat, hiding herself.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfVbg8QFRR
"Don't be such a whim," said Mike. "It's Taeyang."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gk9CVOkzx
"Taeyang!" I exclaimed excitedly with the rest of the other ladies. Zoey excitedly sat up on her seat.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8njKQI2Yd
"Why do the ladies love him?" Seungyoon asked with a confused look on his face. "I fail to understand."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLekVIdznMy
"He's amazing," I said.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNFWGafVW1
"He's so likeable," said Lisa.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7sv9cUOZG
"He's handsome," said Christine.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPzoG8xI3a
"He's a gentleman," said Jisoo.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS71DPuNKy
"He's hot," said Jennie.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUc8eQUUJt
"Freakin' hot," Zoey added.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6JBSzWnyf
"And kindhearted," said Rosé.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5e9pweqPf
"Okay, why don't you 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98zFAM41bb
tell him that since its a video call," said Mike as he got up from his 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqWkKg6ZgI
seat and stood in the aisle as he answered the call holding the phone 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nFqKsIMiJ
up.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoj6rMmvNj
"Hey, Taeyang," said Mike as he waved at the screen.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oSgEAnBx9
"Mike, hey," came Taeyang. "I saw the video you sent me of Sam and Zoey. That was one awesome dance battle."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAXA54ZtBi
"Awww! Thank you!" Zoey magically appeared beside Mike so that she could talk to Taeyang.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwO8EJ3WFW
"Hey, Zoey," said Taeyang. "You two were great."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEkBDFsmDS
"Who do you think won? I mean, it was a dance battle and we danced to your song, so you should probably announce the winner."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyauln9rpIg
"Don't answer that!" I yelled as I stood over the chair, jumped over the seat and Jennie, joining Mike and Zoey on the aisle.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNibFI6JI9s
"Why don't you want me to answer that, Sam?" Taeyang asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYOJa1WEoY
"Well, I think we danced very well," I said as I smiled at him. "So there is no need."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8SFdpex2s
"And besides, I put up a voting poll online and by the end of the day, we'll be able to see what the fans think," said Mike.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVt5I5yg1b
"Wait! What dance battle?" Lisa asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMrv4tb0ip
"Who is that?" Taeyang asked. "Sounds familiar."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuCJC9EP6f
"Tae!" Lisa exclaimed gleefully as she came and stood right behind me waving at Taeyang on the screen.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0igKOXtn7t
"Aaaah!" Taeyang looked 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RPcrdehZ5
like he had just seen a ghost and almost dropped his phone. He edged 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAKHqzJIZB
closer to the camera, clearly not believing his eyes. "Lisa? What are 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rzZEJSiWt
you doing with these guys?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xlIWhpauB
"Hanging out," Lisa answered.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMc2ykQ4VV
"Isn't that risky? Our manager doesn't know, does he?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdzWwAGhyh
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she shook her head. "You shouldn't even tell him, yet alone Collins."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S2CT4q2w3
"Of course I wouldn't," said Taeyang. "I just hope the whole BlackPink isn't there with you."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BzsWSKLvy
"Surprise!" came Jisoo, Jennie and Rosé as they also came to join us on the aisle.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkGNE4u9NX
"Aish!" Taeyang hit his forehead and looked like he was about to faint. "Now you're really in trouble."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9wHS3IGQs
"Don't worry about a thing, Tae," said Mike. "It's not like we're doing anything wrong."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEQUYRmDSY
"When The Toxins are around, there is bound to be trouble."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7NSp2EbUT
"Hey!" Daniel came and squeezed in right next to Zoey. "You know, you sound just like our managers."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvEqi0Pvah
"Well, we have been around you a lot haven't we?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLygzXEoai
The three Toxins and I nodded our heads, murmuring in agreement.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnTdk6EOvV
"But we're not that bad," said Mike.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oSAJRaoXr
"No, you aren't," said Taeyang. "But you know how our managers think."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0NfwMmJM4
"I tried to warn them," said TOP. "But they never listen to me."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyyLZS1r9v
"Is that Choi with you?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Zs08FmNF
Mike turned the phone 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bYcE7PQ4p
camera around so that Taeyang could be able to see TOP. What Taeyang was1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAcS6zyU1w
about to see next wasn't going to be good at all.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWt8kA64yT
"What the.....!" Taeyang sounded surprised when he not only saw TOP but WINNER as well.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN1TgvSTyB
TOP with the rest of WINNER waved at Taeyang over the phone.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCa1aH3es8
"You're in super mega trouble now," said Taeyang.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW85VDNE87H
Mike turned the phone back to his direction. "We know," he said.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinYFLPXDhb
"Wait, a minute. Are you guys in a bus right now?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruAEjaW7zR
"Yep," I answered.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rKCK8dYRr
"Where are you all going?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoeazwzsqY
"To have fun, of course," said Jennie.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VJVfFKKhP
"Why did I even bother to ask? Just try not to attract any attention among yourselves out there."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOhgNYD3NH
"That will be 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqidw6s7Zfx
impossible, Tae," said Jisoo. "I mean, three of the famous pop music 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJODyZD2uv
groups walking down the street? That's certainly going to raise 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm4bSm0ii8
everyone's attention."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzb1rJQPbX
"Whatever. You just have fun and try not to do any funny business."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjReGYmBYo
"Don't worry about a thing," said Lisa. "We're with The Toxins. What could possibly go wrong?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu4dXLone7
"Ummmm, guys," came Christine. "You might want to sit down."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cl79f1gyY
"Huh? Why?" Rosé asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxNtSma5RT
Before Christine could 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsVFHPGnjD
say anything else, the bus skidded to a stop and the next thing I know, I1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmonzCupaO
was tumbling to the bus floor on the aisle since I lost balance with 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACpXIn5ADn
Zoey and the rest of the BlackPink. I fell back first onto the floor. 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuLL6U27fa
Mike and Daniel remained standing as they were holding on to the bus 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBwaxqqIo2
pole.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vdjfqgffA
"The bus was planning to stop," said Christine as she got up from her seat and looked at us on the floor. "Are you guys okay?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqqlbtDsMN
"Never better," said Zoey as she held her head and got up. She hit her face real hard on the floor.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSf84qkbfv
Jennie who fell beside 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYaM5LPV41
me soon got up and before I could fully get up myself, someone from 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi9Gq3ZUxe
behind already had their hands under my arms pulling me up.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcekX00WAgh
"Are you okay?" 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsUTAIAs16
Seunghoon asked straight in my ear as I stood up from the floor. His 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0YNZ1F7UB
voice almost felt like a whisper. I quickly turned around to look at 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibuKVMwqMv
him.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY0KibTTGn
"I'm fine," I said.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxKVLLgLA5
"I hope no one has broken bones or anything," said Mino.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIZRcXE7mU
"We're fine," said Rosé, as she and Lisa slowly got up. "You should have helped some of us get up."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzTlfQ0Ifm
"My head hurts real bad!" Zoey complained as she still held her forehead. "Hopefully, I'm not swollen."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84GARxheqM
"No, you're not," said Christine as she came to check up on Zoey. "You'll be fine."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLbT3HSraL
"This is what I didn't want to happen," said Taeyang over Mike's phone. "Hope everyone is okay."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW71HIebk2
"We're excellent," said Jennie. "To be honest that felt kind of fun. We should be falling more often."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmGZ5nZJCw
"No!" The four Toxins and I exclaimed at the same time, looking at Jennie.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2newfGhzE
I heard the bus driver chuckle behind me and when I turned to look at him, he quickly smiled and looked away.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlJmA7jRht
"Where are we anyway?" Daniel asked he looked out of the window.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO7493q1Sy
"Times Square," the bus driver answered, as he turned to look at us.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbS3quXOq6
"Should we go?" Jinwoo asked. "Doesn't seem like a bad place to hang out."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhEsp74tc1
"Well, you seem like you all didn't know where to go," said the driver. "So, I thought this place will be just right."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql6PeO0rAo
"Seems okay to me," I said. "What does everyone else think?"1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVFZ46WOVy
"We haven't really been at Times Square ourselves," said Christine. "So I say we go for it."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W8thak5As
"If Sam says we go, we go," said Seunghoon.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnv2aYTAix
"This is what I call trusting blindly," said TOP.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5V5RL91Ig
"Tell me about it," I said as I rolled my eyes. I almost laughed in the end.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUXNfiHOCi
"Okay, since we're all leaving," said Mino. "Let's go."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPN4ETBhRj
"Alright, Tae," said Mike as he went back to looking at his phone. "If you want to join us, you know where to find us."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FPBeezm1Q
"I'll consider that," said Taeyang. "Bye, guys."1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtaQafQOfp
We all said bye to 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzWddsZ5oc
Taeyang and the doors to the bus flew open. We all started to file out 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3YYTGboLF
of the bus, one by one. I gave the bus driver a smile and waved at him 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS20nubSaIp
as I walked out of the bus and he happily waved back.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuUKH35VzE
When we all disembarked and the bus had finally drove away, we all looked at the massive tall buildings before us.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFJULVDyeD
"So, what do you think we should do first?" Zoey asked.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIu4YzLolu
"I simply have no clue," said Seungyoon.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYfsjYPsAf
"I think we do what we do best," said Daniel.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahqmUzA4B3
"And what's that?" Lisa asked as she looked at Daniel.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiAfTIAIRN
"Have fun," I answered.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUQPaQ2EL8
