Hanging out at Times 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKwYVX6mQs
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuEQpLYF1V
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKPe5HFSyD
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44JxYMbpvN
But that didn't matter. 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhgnzNFw9N
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l6kIARpJH
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X8UERLC2G
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFODWOzd8KK
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbQbhZ97WD
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQYG4OzWO8
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjKiT01cUA
actually played around with the adorable kids.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDBvjpsIiE
There were plenty of 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBIlOevCaX
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakFCQ6XUYr
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcfYDgMkRp
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswrAX3Ap53
fans too.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZUenhahg9
The time we were done 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGTl16alDt
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mONsGD2ZT
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTG5lV5YLQ
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I54VHLoHp
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0M4q1BYLb
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVGxJRKjik
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBhMmtp0hY
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDd56N2v0R
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzRVqQH1ZC
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBUoQh9qFe
previous day, of course.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe7Cu2rFNo
As much as the managers 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFrz2TBrdV
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp8y5dOlX4
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPjnPIEY4v
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpljfG9djWA
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLvl9GEAA0
Right now, this very 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluc3biHtMR
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNGKH8FN2D
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHTVQlG6ay
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj7L9AWE7C
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuSx3chnOR
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUQn1xqt9f
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf5kvPvlkO
and I just couldn't take it.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT90cQLmN5w
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EoirlOc2a
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO21g085AV
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EwIuW0ijZ
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBzktymB3K
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEkv3SkOfW
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPk2Z25ebt
"I thought you said your plan would work."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFO99QSTkm
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS3agephwG
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOppn7E0Wtx
I felt like slapping my 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVjnfAPzMI
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W324A3F0N
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80004q4er4
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX6zgvi1WZ
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzPlcfxuNG
off.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhuH5mCnp9
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjVwfkZ2kW
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJGwF9uft3
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjjJu1jAef
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6uIrS9eW0
I shrugged. She read my 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxfqrLlteB
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6wCqZ3xiS
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRLmDUkmmS
me the whole time."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw3iviqGbQ
I sat down on my bed as 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0uBZCRpJK
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BCJzUngQ8
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdwEvwBDr9
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr69A9lrLr
"Gosh, you really should1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgjr5jZW3n
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeacaPhVW6N
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFfK0O5w4i
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaS2InyzIN
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwJ8gBoPEG
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMED6WPZo91
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3mAmZxijG
"Mike is annoying 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVQHrX0sMi
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J9MPOyhfO
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuINl5gQzY
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhcCSp4wF8
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMFIbd88cv
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT4oM7ivda
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6VPNdZuIn
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPYfINRpx6
"Sorry, but just so you 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO6okDLKk8
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYAxoFyy4Q
that pic of you and him together."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6ojPXwlrE
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsW38KTTtQ
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCakkHKSYA2
I blushed and at the 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODxLcCBXaS
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WcsAADhFD
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9eyTQvTBj
other hidden agenda.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Ku85gAft
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmW4NM45br
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE544svm2YW
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflBswSgkCa
I sighed in surrender. 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaLNiaar8C
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqu6ocV17u
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJlVO2CVin
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDxyIBlpBC
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."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLYOnicjZj
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnTn8vAXY5
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qgQUL8iI1
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF7uj4G35Y
Zoey had an excited look1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIZT7RlfKb
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOLA6Votjc
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJfcy5h7IH
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CTLvfKJZp
clearly show all over her face.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmhJsbAccb
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz4BUeZdCR
I shook my head. "And?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQt5Aq9TI8
Zoey folded her arms, 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV1lUbLZHL
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkstlyhFFi
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AjmpF1UA2
"Hold that thought. This1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTb4MboCb5
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5HgrRexjq
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasDSFSIb7W
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL0bwIJOCx
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRSMRjD3e3
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwAB0www1t
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDnJFUAXxT
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjCfmqIUZ6
"Well, he hid in our closet."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1tdpxZumD
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Y65FwwAG
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIgfhQOfCc
"Ya, why?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY6r7Zrfnc
"Looks like we just 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkHgW9dvdo
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhllnUaDaFi
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO2YkM4vLN
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."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOblTNU8lr
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXVapDesjl
"What do you mean? You 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZuL6mtN3D
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85gft6MRPZ
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT76cWtHsAu
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYgxpCz0WL
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdNSIxqrc1
"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."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhejd2N7KmV
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxJaA5OCRM
"I wanted to but I kept 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK40zT55RsG
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfVuCVv1We
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Abl7ywiTh
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgomvg2Prfs
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek3DNsrx8l
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTvWIMamfA
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fSrZba7i2
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM25cldjKv
I quickly stood up and 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERBkgDHiL6
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9PtMua8he
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXEl4CnrII
her back.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbYlLYcfUk
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gh7L30hch
"Zoey, you're going to 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsNuFCwE0O
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG863ww7gjr
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9PJsmFpFK
own hair pink in the next ten years."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0pDotD1Xf
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNc1D40Js0
"You're lying."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xkvmgmx6h
"I'm telling the truth!"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuiM7Prjwd
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGUmJypHcC
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWjIx0W3IZ
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8eL4R6P1J
"I can't tell you that."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeScQylGfAM
"Why?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGetX3Fj9p
"Because it's 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1xn4UbL7N
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue2QyAanRn
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z0cfpDf5u
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtaeziuqSe
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IdcZuh5Nw
"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."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYIapOmalW
"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.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGXNHpMPJy
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgqZsLtthx
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrGry5dfDN
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHJ3ZYiyaH
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesIhGvjtjT
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡant9lk7gPQ
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsRaxz8xZq
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyAItfWAw4
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFszgzP7EXz
I playfully rolled my 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wUMQ5KrIJ
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrftOZDNdPx
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvtBmtiWod
also looked worried.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKaMxyTGI1
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KHERwwBgm
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx26sp4Zt0
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0uy2WX6Zp
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2UmcAaSbU
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghum6akYOL
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJkWBEXGsU
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKYEmkBa9E
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiKIFOZflR
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywzvlGbf3N
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV0m0m8Eee
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg3GSY4zss
"Okay, first of all," 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYKYaCHz2Y
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2PJ9wfpYv
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT7t4c8SAJ
he wasn't mad at you."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiLuTYTpdm
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YeoDGGvqa
"That, he couldn't say."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlYg3oitCm
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNQDyJOBfy
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2WKsOReZc
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMVh0aFblW
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl135CsllZf
Christine pressed the 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUpis8kazV
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1UODtq3Vu
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96bWFAdevo
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsGxArxtQb
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y1T7uByX3
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlPbHHVHgI
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DkIlhs9c9
We got to YG right on 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiC8iTmFwz
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRL1QvebKT
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc59SiqCpc
arrived a few seconds earlier.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK4XtMrt46
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJaUQffefb
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6erOHar0ST
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2thFhmKNoJ
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4uvrlTaCi
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvNQhodlQB
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0btoEKGzi
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPrdMq0bEC
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86hdJiEISo
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW7fv5hGP4
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39ZwSBzWq5
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1XdAr8SW9
"There will be no such 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuxV2jGjjg
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGQZ95YzjU
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuolP8Tedo
"And you're making it 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSAFE7y8x2
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCtI5ruA0k
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN8knZ3XFl
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA85PDKnV5l
"Trust me, you don't 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkniF5xoDk0
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyovaYDStI
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrylFnbOvaU
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8uQPYK8Px
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgk8A4QAiC
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoPGAI43CO
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA86VqXcUD
"Look, whether they are 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbsvNUkj8k
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9poeqABv9a
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa5J8D8IAH
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk2ZPKNE7u
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoYohzVB6u
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rX2HrEQ98
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQUx5Vgw58
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG5dojsKqO
I gave Lee a sad smile 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpBrmEB2gt
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EGj3nlhZb
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqE8pnLhJc
your life. Like suicide.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI269MbeFzJ
We started our way 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaS53uFikC
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxHXij8sta
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz18MKjlFFx
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbgGNZysFd
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYRxfbYrir
I quickly ran out of the1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90hjtZKQRL
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ITS0PjuVW
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg2FFYEEQe
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV02CvbaZ9m
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINAHtu1fWT
check for it inside.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYvUmPmQIp
When I got to the 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGMsSJRBC2
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG7m5n0YAJ
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhgzbxKhEP
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiqjtsfqVs
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLEyKq53wS
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKBO3eAEek
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Zt8dV9ZT
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H18OnHnB9
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj27bNBTMWZ
"Seriously, I can sue 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AjBDRkRcU
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IilUaz5zU
fast. I never even heard him coming.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrVWGOR5Tr
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzaiqDqrmm
"You're not my bodyguard1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0l87DpOk0
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTEshsoVv1
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TwTWYPavM
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfLsP4D2mQ
I blushed. "You know about that?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcfRcFn2VF
"Everyone knows you have1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuZNct0hYs
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtJVKpVTGU
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy1DYfRvrK
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1hNbMwNP9
"Looks like I did the 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G0ukJcLx1
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3YbsQssya
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt3BB2u6Sq
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuvkiwNJAV
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI8BkDZxPi
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll1k85TqCV
"And because you're a 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQU2vS3kU1
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk0j0XDbE0
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ga8jSdhjI
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOIleZAlF0
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYI75zve1S
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dsMMDdBaT
"Can you at least tell 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGW6YaT7ni
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB1uIJKyXE
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0c4OggYeO
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXbwmkNntB
"What dramatic effect?" 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtdK3xaxFA
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnxEDD109O
came closer. I took a warning step back.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl0bOtfBIK
"If you hadn't followed 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CLS75AGhQ
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYsUxTlaTA
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk81zWwzfzo
room."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn5TZ2goWk
"What surprise?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BYh6tS3VO
The elevator stopped and1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WXOOBHSBq
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLlRgVdjWo
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ivL1BcXQz
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk4WhiV3gw
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qhNCPB6tj
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtQUxFQiRd
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmQoiOX6U2
"I already have a guess," I said.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWIe39BwIu
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQskv9bHfaz
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVCBlT94TS
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IWyOJsW4c
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQczYDx1dN
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NZSOgzUiB
When we reached the 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQo4PmgzCG
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt4Av2URMe
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmgV3rLiVg
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7zHsdQOgU
In the conference room 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy4qYluAgL
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSQQKFt66z
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVk2FQkyMT
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cJADMnn8S
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7AhXLLQ6v
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrkB8vZ2ku
though I did my best not to show it.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHwDKS0DoG
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzlJsY1jwE
I looked to the opposite1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzLgaIEsg8
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMp2iEMgcW
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvX8hS9eAv
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEMdRiq9Ed
"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."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAB8QIP1QI
G-Dragon quickly turned 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8DcdPWNe7
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2qhOpICAG
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUveZ87ZnB
"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?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY3q869b7w
"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.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P4LeDvet3
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc74y4ZBcbd
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhIU2UMxjg
"Wait," said Lisa who 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgOw4iUnX2
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxpy2i6DGW
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLBWikaBB3
"It felt simple and 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB9fvsBBe8
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsINfW0HH9A
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvB1ugyzhL
with G-Dragon today."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL9DdF0jqx
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSrd8sDoZr
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuSS5I1IjC
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrSH6GMQx8
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6584pRPDS
"Ya, I know I'm a 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULrH2Yyjjt
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K9ZRQUVvo
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvow3SB3GX1
"If you mean us getting 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1juVj7MTW
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSWR73XoRu
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgdYxlgzGY
by coincidence."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49988n37Kd
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd987uoa4cQ
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2pMbNcT76
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrfTj30uKC
The rest of the BTW crew1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMwzrlIlic
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrioV79sdA
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlluiT7ARb
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezsr5bVTMS
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16bxs3Dq6C
"Hold up," said Zoey who1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bEkfqeEh1
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyww2BRZut
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnP9yvvc1M
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE1HiwobEQ
"Told you we'll 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWoyPpam9K
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJI0A1ZdxQ
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioX9PJKQmJ
"But is he going to do 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcinhXuUISA
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeyvHajDx4
didn't really meet by coincidence."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5FqUV2qG0
There was silence in the1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGGm4yytey
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7EkuPdf89
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBOy45WI6q
planning to do.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjuOxn9wYg
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmugpKxCLw
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMTLessbNU
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcSRpJ2dQo
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD5EerojHq
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlwvJLvwkj
"And also because he's 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP8StNeMi2
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgRtK15Rir
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBkfglJuyb
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0XWcEh5jE
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3WK3mbMMb
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtripIkBpiC
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKcBlaLF27
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuOVRgkT2V
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU0om3DupN
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzpDusJNnV
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fuLtjQ8Xn
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Toe4U7PQO
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfBEiIMjZs
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc36XrGt2H
deal with G-Dragon instead.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9PPG4qYP2
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49Br4BQZ08
"What do you want?" I asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x6NmVVE90
G-Dragon looked at me as1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHUNYVaYXi
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBqt9gxZ2g
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKdtxc2uu7
came to any conclusions.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BNMyBmamF
"To make things clear 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsesVGVxetO
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXjc2QG0XT
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKdpk6bBx6
thinking about doing the same thing."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzSMSYAlVY
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtfhuoLIbl
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlhc4CWByJ
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9dGztDzwq
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrShfonqDf
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdbuRvRWuo
"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."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClF13p1R2S
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RPIxnfzEI
"All's fair in love and 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFHSuMSS66
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdGm9bnv21
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb4FTXt4pb
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHUBP1dsrb
"Come on," Christine 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmDBk19GIb
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNataHtlZFu
won't be here for long and you know it."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yJ7Y6iv9M
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwN7fpL8YI
"BTW is nothing but a 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC0euuY4wK
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6d2WPZqxn
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBkTYV8Kmh
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFy1wrRWsU
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0wALeljlc
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST0KTahLpf
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTByxe6J63B
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfpEwxmJt0
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0excvaxv6s
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmfixKXzrr
"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.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWcvApFwwE
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYPwMiwJjB
Upon saying that, the 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48ov7Rfk7O
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz9PbqhTCl
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTLdUtcDQt
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZrLoo3vis
seated stood up.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN3RIZFKC3
I gulped. I hope the 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhi3U0JUXz
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJCVOm7mOU
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka7adPK0Hy
The two managers had 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ8LMBMuIi
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi7eoiMxRs
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvDoYW2Xha
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGThqZloHw2
is wrong.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgsRvevHAO
"Good that you're all 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvdawvBv8q
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkXIb60XhQ
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ68oBEdxbq
I have always hated it 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUdkWVJSg5
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65xk23A49M
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS4e4TpGli
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8FAWlNTbW
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaezVhLUFY
their seats.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPZnnYM7Ia
The two managers and Lee1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmvTYCHNsm
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzlskvV5S3
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoOO8aUKHD
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwydNzXouzK
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPGkYhH9gj
was.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGI3ov7LDB
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyUu6tp0dj
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3iH8cnrfi
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Oy6MHyE3
Zoey sighed loudly in 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPgn57tqc5
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAwAnY5TTT
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0wE9TcLMz
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFRhLpvJOa
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJKh81Tjlc
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz6FLOmyrO
The two managers 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTX4O7zB4h
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWuCb1cqvm
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOeEaF47El
That was so not cool.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgujjfvHChi
"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."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw9ETs7tP9
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwx8XspzM7
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDhHRVNQo3
My ears perked up when 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmcZjrGbxN
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6voHsGiJM
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHVeLGEUpY
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2IAs2yZ9o
"We heard you outside 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMJeoD9MWo
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCKKh0pe8Z
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5hvjcg8q2
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cWSx9bCcq
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Apr5eQTLf
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ascUhdNUn
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Me5eR6K90
through further scrutiny about this decision."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDY7NtFFPQ
I smiled. Even if they 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4mguNXUrN
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv4TnJbk7Q
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k97SAsFNh
There was an exciting 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPanccrNmVu
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgW53UVDwm
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahVrHbM35k
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElo5RlZgYU
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8O0nQ9lG4
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7biuimty1
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u1pesqOEm
I turned to my other 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6u4qAMc3R
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk6NFLY0qb
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AEaq10B9k
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsnfAFc1R3
now, didn't matter.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCgayYoxWl
"You heard them when 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gKlUk1ZxD
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAfLXPDnbj
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HbA9iLsRX
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPGyS9TtWK
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIqIae6Ap6
"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.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4EJpX8E3o
This time it was me, or I1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgetz9OvOX
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FEVDGugI3
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd5OKqEZFx
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M4zmf61KW
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMlGyXz10p
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlrRtx1xNx
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c7qyXtfX5
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ITVn30lOR
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2DhOYCQuu
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7YILdVfsk
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJu8umEvO9
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wQLdSDJZE
"We all agree," said Daniel.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnFDwUMWMB
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGIDbE0bZ0
"But just because it 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x0ymLaLl9
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSft1yShmj
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinzF2N6GoD
"Okay, so that's settled1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4qTAVbPSA
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue0OQLe53c
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC1GTgsjuw
BTW official."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOFEoL3r6h
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqfxkQovtC
I noticed that most of 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qeytmvRiB
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdszf3aawwy
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNyii7G1sa
when she looked at me and I grinned.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7H4j7I7RS
"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."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ38etx95S
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsczlrjc5p
"Before we make BTW 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYrOZUhrCz
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISf8l60msd
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21K3fJe2Sq
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF2lqjJEHr
low for a while. Is that good?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsG38TE231
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWb3J2rhWk
"That's fair enough," 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kbtwwpttB
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSWdLZ8j7u
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHYyK5G8x9
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMUw7r68Is
so."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44UluV1xk1
"So you want to crush 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEyrj56miH
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp7OuSeHD6
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv2Q3axteS
strategy."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5SzIC2Zh7
"Then if all is well and1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe5FVQyX0Q
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QYaw0ueJO
updated and not a word on social media."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4x6LMhiSq
I stood up from my seat 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS48Ah3eQL
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoPKdEl4Lj
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLoTUCNVTn
walk out, I stopped them.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd71HZrflU
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT8rkHDpim
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3acfGZ8hl
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy82Xe9LhaR
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus9kK4DKOz
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkdMDw3MR5
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbAPxUCuZf
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo75FnlEUyG
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1j4x6xXXZ
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oV0aYqiu1
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpEWjeRCna
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXUqLM9nQ2
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dMDQvLNfh
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aAC9FEdgI
"This is like the best 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs3ffq1v9l
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJiPVb4qqX
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoy5JYKr8o
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKnQkYoDIy
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4U22UFH69
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBjMHrZYSn
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcguU6OwlUR
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UMByf1wNV
"I knew there was a 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHkNWN1rGD
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvLmXMWVWf
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHb46ia90A
G-Dragon.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyD9nCRt7p
"You knew?" Christine asked.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDiQdBzOw8
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMAovpslC5
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAE72wKct5
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqfGxgNB4q
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xYDicHm6D
"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.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQiNxlYryN
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGfORHsHkf
"Well, you guys can tell1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXGgFwF4Wm
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM6hQ5FMaT
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Zrvffk9d
aren't going to go into the same car."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uS7agF78l
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7ATyfQjd7
Everyone else started to1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ376tdN8CDQ
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuvl65rbGn
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmcTXWt6hR
only G-Dragon and I.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X30E70MQE
"I'm mad at you," I started.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWhdKtcMWz
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnlHfHrhfj
"Save it." I held my 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjguwHQOO2
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLjFTuee62
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA5CzznhvL
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hXpEt89Tb
a war again."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI80NWohJB
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsH3Zuuwp6
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7HZNkhPjC
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGNwhhoDuG
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT4VrhDVh5
G-Dragon looked at me 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr8pdWFirV
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtY9AtyyXb
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQmPJ9mxYJ
stab in the heart.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfLF61wyPT
"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."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKlYqBnQb6
"You know, the others 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzt14W5mdB
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgfdivvdFx
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifZMGsLiSh
with WINNER yesterday."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNIxfa2olP
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXScaxz9o1f
I nodded my head. What I1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MNrvBXdPa
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOZvMiPb5l
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAJvGASBem
of Seunghoon and I.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JXbgz6hac
"You know you and I can 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSLGVsVBFT
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzmrhZ8mek
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSMGObdkee
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IgRpdUPE5
down the rocks."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy1EclMNsc
I headed for the door 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqKd3relK3
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEGm758fEr
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwLqOC38ha
Zoey, waiting.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqqyihKHbW
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3iuRpzbDf
"I sure hope so," I said1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HL8kI4ffG
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3URlmZ86J
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt0BLmk4S3
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG70eRd0ca
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPdGMgQoMM
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvaV4gUlTo
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoOYP09WKO
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQtndD88mS
"You know computers are 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpsO2qi6Qa
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhAcAMVAti
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLbBG8bQ55
supposed to."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJYw27wTz1
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvicjvfSJ7m
I smiled. "You always call me that."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmjJmqvs2m
"Ya, because you're smart too."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9d6vuEHCD
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiAIwY9tZO
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85N1sEoTZI
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3jIN6mGpn
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99ZCj8ZMms
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1063Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNUjllnQob
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
