Hanging out at Times 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdNwGohCd6
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfPn6T5g7Y
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPA1r9aaNc
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw912PJPOg
But that didn't matter. 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ76Pv6IfF
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEGfGJtj77
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbw5179iKA
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVfBr3O3cp
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSDks7f4j5
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MXgaNP4As
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV7oneyDfD
actually played around with the adorable kids.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgVVYfPkhf
There were plenty of 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAD4OGJhb9
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs6IZGwHQe
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnJdKRwnAV
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNGfLn4wNW
fans too.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnJGTgJtzs
The time we were done 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgTOaej4QI
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8aaZEO7mz
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG2T2rgMph
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5mZyXac3T
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOylPhgVZN
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkRtN5RqiY
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Mbz3Dwcy
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKXMWLky8i
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNl4wYMxz3
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2V8qTGx7S
previous day, of course.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmcP9Sbfff
As much as the managers 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAbh4AsTig
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZDzsmsl3K
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvcfW36tuW
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgUjWcyrpB
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXkMmb2fhG
Right now, this very 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemVTGWsAdH
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3USpRLdigk
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pg0N9G148
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ121qwAUmeV
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO7PfvCrot
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcEffWRdMF
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjCnK5IR72
and I just couldn't take it.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH0UuCNW07
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcM1B894HW
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA2muCQ8Z4
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfhY8Uyq6Q
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVGbxgtdwt
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGtoQjFYml
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIxSbwWLyx
"I thought you said your plan would work."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQh9JfGZFV
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwGJfFuUU3
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWcR0qlYsA
I felt like slapping my 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJEfFOjEUm
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pQUUt1EQB
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFwmZO3Nmz
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bemJTwZ5I
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnxv70HPPj
off.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSZ0loRWSK
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAMi7DvthO
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1ZUDI8eps
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzJhlQzU59
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX9NKdgNeU
I shrugged. She read my 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPehvNGcUxO
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rSyVnYAkM
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsceVCbwRk
me the whole time."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3QnTaaueA
I sat down on my bed as 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnnBXaJQzm
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YjLT5kS1m
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW1cBMokMR
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmoaCiWvxn
"Gosh, you really should1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkEdRcb5EL
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtuEEcAREu
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQAVGekmfD
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ01cnLltkW
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfflmwREcJP
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOlZfSA5WQ
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcHtYMqz4L
"Mike is annoying 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87qZWLdsDS
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcc5Adyetw
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxBdxNK9SN
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3OiSZR0hf
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnqL305sZj
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeGNFbO0q3
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXVEh00bep
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtScUD4jk6
"Sorry, but just so you 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas3dJefk3g
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQW35AOfZ9
that pic of you and him together."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse07JPR9Zv
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J3MuFuDrQ
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9cycdh9vL
I blushed and at the 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFWNiIp38S
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0BTPOpFNp
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaSKF1uC2x
other hidden agenda.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPsy7gVqw4
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC7CTJ3M0D
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IQdLkhNog
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZuGPbwcIK
I sighed in surrender. 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XCa4qLWcR
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53UFFykC7L
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgWTNYHRrI
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uJNiTXIxP
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."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynTYXKGPby
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfC1sdflgq
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKi9xsl0O2
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTvC1PORVr
Zoey had an excited look1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr844Fqh6no
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHWW6iWThD
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kulTof3U7
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O13LspoPx
clearly show all over her face.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7M1JAOz59
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEi8ch8lSk
I shook my head. "And?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5o3NBGx4P
Zoey folded her arms, 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoFUBqACZ7
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysZt7TuYCO
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbSWcx9TNY
"Hold that thought. This1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfX3XzsJ8R
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOppuNcnAAd
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUEfwqw2XK
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk878eHIVvN
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgFmXDBW8c
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvWTf4i4tK
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRHEIJkqNI
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kS6D6l0gp
"Well, he hid in our closet."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDtPjOh4re
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJhAosPGhn
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmRg1aXkO3
"Ya, why?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUdtpHHzUp
"Looks like we just 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPeq2lpGYk
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIZdagSnmA
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweBH9bZz1u
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."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtiJOfkuN2
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJcwTHNwVl
"What do you mean? You 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIaEJi7xxI
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7869aCZHWD
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpFlTthrWr
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIApyr4TYwI
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhK6IRbJBU
"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."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt2TSrbDC9
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOApDMqv8V
"I wanted to but I kept 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zRxGNhjAj
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tg29KdMwl
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqscCZ5TArj
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhHKEBgN9a
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQM7lq7pBi
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVoLrHE6aZ
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IdZfUB10w
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0EEHaGhW7
I quickly stood up and 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZXCFBzSkW
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvCZ6MybWt
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm1H473GJk
her back.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI3nuJ8s2n
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFiz39V2y0
"Zoey, you're going to 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExFacvyjKZ
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM96tVKOPg6
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBASu1JaAZP
own hair pink in the next ten years."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDURHUV1faf
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RIF1y9e97
"You're lying."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT3ZinJjHk
"I'm telling the truth!"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjywoMduLOY
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVrKNrOx1F
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30e6c5A5Pj
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxo5NfpHrZ
"I can't tell you that."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrMK71AGZS
"Why?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSEUceGQsD
"Because it's 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Bz8wn0Ns
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvWNCHZXE3
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOnglLJLVF
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TXBotOKPB
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2rylziqAN
"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."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd9K8ABdO4
"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.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUkdxk3JAU
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb8pnMQPVh
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfOgI4atrF
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoUkbYfxhn
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRz2tcf5OA
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdKTyl7hIQ
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa62Kbsa7TQ
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrIkBE3XDK
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRGm1SqdQV
I playfully rolled my 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW12dOwXgSv
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TYklI4wYl
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSShrd8XDSB
also looked worried.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VFLBe0LrK
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb4lwuocHl
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV0duQJfFj
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc3WIJh4JQ
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEliOIiGyN
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr3IYrBrcr
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwejcPWxs0
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcsDUXechQ
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQfjd6el16
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO5SvXCEa9
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6K138Bont
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJeUKeOwDD
"Okay, first of all," 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZFlQs9y5l
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnvzTKCs0p
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx704h2Mehd
he wasn't mad at you."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L4mkAGpwr
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QfpG7p4Pj
"That, he couldn't say."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1siACkP1X
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXELMSeKel
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdRfXGOK7K
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfs2bMkKD2
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3Ne10xgaZ
Christine pressed the 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6tSU5OApE
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56wlrDpmom
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIF7O8egDY
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLfAgTy478
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb9xfInpy6
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8iJ3symAN
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrfqA8Fl6G
We got to YG right on 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWpt76Gr2j
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzShikTbN3c
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E4qp2uZNZ
arrived a few seconds earlier.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00OkkvHuJb
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwJKZ3gWgL
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvaEiY6Rd8
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt2WcdLOJc
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxCgLJAVlC
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9P9j1UKmK
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFIw9jcUkJ
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFLhGT2kwf
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz1RsG3XvI
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fs2FaNIEq
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3M0eJtq7z
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BQL4dfCGd
"There will be no such 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12oAMGkNFw
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjSz7qmreG
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbA2PolhkG
"And you're making it 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZkXJwR3Rr
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQAspNOsPA
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIEsZoGe2p
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGbMQk622q
"Trust me, you don't 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp6804I8KZ
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcCmPsaRZq
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxrwsqHl6S
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp6W9p9TZg
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjFx4iMycd
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTNriTOgCb
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlcl9PyrB2
"Look, whether they are 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5BmaTDjrX
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7jsDPuwtf
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUETf8tX7uq
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB1wXUtx3B
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7tnk7sGpV
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNyVkZZKTy
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD7rlBExrB
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvTzG6Ljzn
I gave Lee a sad smile 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv25IcYjc37
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQWemouExB
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0goMq5GXE
your life. Like suicide.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1z7jwBUV1
We started our way 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuJGYLxZu9
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3RTHp1jw8
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNMqwBvI8O
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt68Bh0viDn
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxvQYAs6Cy
I quickly ran out of the1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUfsHk2eQl
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7y8VtQKU9
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2llVBQQvi4
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIfw98BE5D
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt4d9MYnw7
check for it inside.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZKH37xlZ4
When I got to the 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P60FfcOfy
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROIjkdd8xy
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzyTrPi1ZE
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlgVw2lQLc
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpz0St9HHn
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yoEzsRUfv
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpuatyxHr4
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjPmDA6a7O
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsXed5rkbZ
"Seriously, I can sue 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqFMrkgtIw
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqYXUVHMoe
fast. I never even heard him coming.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16JUuvstIo
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hn0VKXqkI
"You're not my bodyguard1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Dszp1AQD
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53PKBy2NNA
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxHkA203Y4
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciRfm13DqG
I blushed. "You know about that?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKEwPr4GpH
"Everyone knows you have1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScyKRBaSbP
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EcvyL50iV
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iIasIyJWC
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWGc2YsRiW
"Looks like I did the 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu4AVa8LqH
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ126kxk1YhV
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEmzIq7TLW
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4NAISdweu
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq304lnHyY
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1WSC9LPoA
"And because you're a 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXOvxA0XAq
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1lNya1nSk
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwjNvtMUXI
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnEpDeF01r
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOGaCQn5gq
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx2qitt7Qi
"Can you at least tell 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg59ajgcMPP
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡappxGgRaTQ
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzEvZhiGum
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6wuufzIrf
"What dramatic effect?" 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6LJenMsFW
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC9NbdOREw
came closer. I took a warning step back.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5ztl49Z0U
"If you hadn't followed 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gWgE3Ssyc
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUXnS8jIBr
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiHSt5nW6W
room."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI60s3ueQy
"What surprise?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuaHbTiUD4
The elevator stopped and1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVFQu6c1nl
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrT6MabqWT
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRDM0t0NBC
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIZXMVWdly
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPpuZHbsh9
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrKD9IUzTt
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx8encDIPk
"I already have a guess," I said.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUYA3Ka1N3
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfcCoxQ1GA
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTMWSrxfbY
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U1X5iugz3
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ2SXkTs6L
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGXrEuUFnx
When we reached the 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjpcXlxmes
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhahyu9QxD
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqGhIaIoZz
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbk8wYaejJ
In the conference room 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXlA4CZukK
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4ylYVLh81
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIVmoZDBxy
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk0GltfY1R
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUlAGTBGYS
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX8yoOsgvs
though I did my best not to show it.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDNOMnONll
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF9rze5sc0
I looked to the opposite1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFjLVFmxza
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRqoFAzvki
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4kdtiIz6l
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxzZoGum1p
"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."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM0INpRf4W
G-Dragon quickly turned 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZlQZ8PebP
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoqo733FHa
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLbCuFDw69
"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?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqrNlj45pp
"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.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W1VQP8lZG
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjp542fGI5
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOrcPpdsgj
"Wait," said Lisa who 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxTPGsToGa
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc844hMUH34
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtYqIWqlRJ
"It felt simple and 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBMpNSBIZE
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG1WvTfvb8
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkpXX4WUpp
with G-Dragon today."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApY32qyqMq
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXDVGm6Qi5
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrosSj8h6xq
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWo8hOGhzq
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeugWLUWkUN
"Ya, I know I'm a 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVNKS8BDyI
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQdlatjyBN
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bc8NQ5HqD
"If you mean us getting 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakxFmOFIYQ
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX2YS2rKz7
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wg07dP8Tm
by coincidence."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCDhtKZj7h
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NbP4JSFOO
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdDAfKiXm8
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmxyUOnAsu
The rest of the BTW crew1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeHsVa3tLk
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00ECWoG6Cv
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0X1g042mB
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTLb7wDb7q
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewQHSr5fU4
"Hold up," said Zoey who1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAaO4kCWuS
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5hbvr89xx
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvtmJyZE23
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtKRTfbIXt
"Told you we'll 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGAlP7DaCy
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmvA36D6AN
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDohfN89hH4
"But is he going to do 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89lUArYItY
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcseRAfUao
didn't really meet by coincidence."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPC3uCNfCM
There was silence in the1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc8aHjiVuz
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIZnDFj1Ux
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLvjVjO2rr
planning to do.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCWsDEcJOp
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EdWmS7Q9i
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapnQw0insz
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJiLcq6NmJ
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Yp8FJbTy
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlr0gzTaM2
"And also because he's 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE0lCWslCZ
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbCp660XpJ
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgoglgVvEh
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazFQg3w6Cq
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTExursM2T
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQEantDYDw
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsBa8Y0SkD
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGKfOMWoB5
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd28qlqYpY
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhWfgQ1RnZ
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGL7htHR5o
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4sVjqziOB
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKnyTxPj1M
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5taHYRi4t1
deal with G-Dragon instead.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h3zmWhiYb
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwD15EbUVI
"What do you want?" I asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbypGuEJkA
G-Dragon looked at me as1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMEOW02Qqd
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3FR4XZ78A
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3ozq0sdsi
came to any conclusions.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt7NscfDH4
"To make things clear 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb53XH0MUe4
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgytMO0oIu
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7a4Ju9mXm
thinking about doing the same thing."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1mwpETF0f
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDImVuAIge0
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB1yZnaFzJ
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEnTK0RWFK
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OIVSUrUKk
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFISyYKasUA
"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."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIMoLZ8VsE
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrtKTH6KZs
"All's fair in love and 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Es651nl2Y
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53mY168f5L
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcFIILoVFq
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRC95BPwjt
"Come on," Christine 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBofMMXOlN
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZy8YKvhgx
won't be here for long and you know it."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRmORb88cs
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOBOMXyLc6
"BTW is nothing but a 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckpl0e6usA
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm0wLMfCiy
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuF1i9ejHc
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXD1ZmfKv9
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgco8F43rX7
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX89elFqRnJ
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaEB5KJS13
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdUALnnwly
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsfuchE5JQ
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxSfstk3Xu
"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.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9isvAUUjOP
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqotdjLx7At
Upon saying that, the 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkvRGzGBM6
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xkFbQGxo5
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3SiUOIwdw
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVCHfzNoOp
seated stood up.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbcwpXfPIo
I gulped. I hope the 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmu03XHn7x
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkTKDZCYKR
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpoyDD7TRb
The two managers had 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfqh6oWEyM
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDIDKIxAtH
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWxLZQQopw
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ9Ld1i2vZ
is wrong.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbmTj2uu4K
"Good that you're all 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJxqGScpCu
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWd7vj54LM
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBfjJAMeFp
I have always hated it 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0Utax5FDm
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24G4heXgUJ
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6JOIELHHk
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn24OeinlW
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHs9whX0ye
their seats.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFapzLJLum
The two managers and Lee1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrYCEMf0Lg
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPSyzS4rBD
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N8PftXX2U
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRQLx9huMl
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aQaMAtYpZ
was.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC2mWNA3Ud
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTI67jmRZu
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3fPx3VXjZ
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3UqbQ0up8
Zoey sighed loudly in 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQU6i5jTjs
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqRGPsQ8YS
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PKheczhOL
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDVXfYWv4W
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjLR6FN57I
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJH2CypzXb
The two managers 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ026B0IZ6bh
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNOwXfPNCu
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnDDHTMVdh
That was so not cool.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9vwQOnwNT
"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."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw7lLbDrup
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkBQZKD1e3
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8FHCIM4lj
My ears perked up when 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtkq8v789n
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMvp5GhFly
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgMs6lbEqw
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQfodFHZIU
"We heard you outside 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v8hrPVwHG
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b7LMEV8Pd
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHbAlB76ys
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwdC4wN7Fw
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHGq8CwRHD
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmNwQtt28c
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQynxIFpD3w
through further scrutiny about this decision."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OCKLCxdpe
I smiled. Even if they 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4SSZ2DoIr
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGvamCKb4Z
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruejPLJw1s
There was an exciting 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiqd1YKu5p
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9wJJoxub2
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxwmxDozzA
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SbAJOSGaB
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKssVk83vxc
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmf8AnHEgg
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoMyDYXWvJ
I turned to my other 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyAOuf26Ms
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25vfdV6HIn
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWezDZMaX5X
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcfPR6KbJG
now, didn't matter.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwl53biMmG
"You heard them when 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRc35pm1bc
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XCVzN8Gsv
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iCgyduR35
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdilGGLxsP
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZoK1xSlte
"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.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mfnqIBBQo
This time it was me, or I1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpor0T13hfW
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhlSwQr4mK
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3BITdLKlY
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r94Y5eNXc
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ96B57Pe7b
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWEJXn1Hxp
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7mONnqtmB
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGf701AwNO
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqMBIoymnK
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTMMW7mURk
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGGZGT7oQt
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS5z4e4snE
"We all agree," said Daniel.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8u350FxHg
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZLLgD66a4
"But just because it 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Ez7MlfQF
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYvNnaq5zM
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk0kFjQEgk
"Okay, so that's settled1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYnRq7Mgfo
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMvhsGAbIu
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT5xSR64ha
BTW official."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpimqG4jN3
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuZGW82HPb
I noticed that most of 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MMhiVoyfs
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RSlipgWRl
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIytaWvIVR
when she looked at me and I grinned.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qaw8CHzgq
"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."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF3yBnnxos
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVgTp64p8E
"Before we make BTW 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpofilMGfJ
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVLqbzWtFH
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbvmwjClf5
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkSGuxVmSc
low for a while. Is that good?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNl2S9aV8J
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTlBmTuYF6
"That's fair enough," 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKLWKffTBS
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfgBaQPPIA
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIyz125r4y
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzCCpPcLAO
so."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HpbyI3aZL
"So you want to crush 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0EzVDF07P
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5xdkc6U6t
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXCiWY2a6I
strategy."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kbh52vZ6e
"Then if all is well and1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yGdUgTHDz
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEjOXcdQCJ
updated and not a word on social media."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNwUf5yIrU
I stood up from my seat 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHoDxMqMri
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrhwoNT5h0
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡungfW6ewFE
walk out, I stopped them.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgXuT96giU
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLfWkIgxJv
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr58HRIrW4
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHlIaHVLrp
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwik4iezSVy
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4KcIOjiG9
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgXRmaF3Rr
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vVG3UHBJc
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jit7XHipi
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLN30OQQMh
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgLLJJ8qFO
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh3YDmzKbt
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJNM65jRIU
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rG1hCQuH8
"This is like the best 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxKc7JNo5a
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUksAxkOg5Q
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31pZHVxIHx
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3TvN8Pj7O
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxfnZNyKY4
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jjUAIpCmH
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1unROEKKL
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGDRU8MwQA
"I knew there was a 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN01AM4tWU
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo33tQ7Fbf
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HJZF4v5L4
G-Dragon.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSCXM4VsGf
"You knew?" Christine asked.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtnNq2hTCm
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqk63yTK9C
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGrkH3UJLr
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsPzXku1Us
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DtXh41ea4
"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.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhVqNdvFwH
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YDASnEnsY
"Well, you guys can tell1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepsnORaB1k
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbHnvd7x4m
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDst8PROUYS
aren't going to go into the same car."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNQg84pI6x
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1koib90bi
Everyone else started to1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vXEONnhas
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiSMbuxsXi
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhTaTYss8x
only G-Dragon and I.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yRRRRER6K
"I'm mad at you," I started.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KIB38BsK9
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMHvjjMr7G
"Save it." I held my 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWO6ne0oAi
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdcASxtNGO
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BXkSNAxTS
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJwfL67w5u
a war again."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHBjlRN7WH
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQXLkpfWnC
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRVLbhxtE5
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRniIZGDBV
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyV13pnUKR
G-Dragon looked at me 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6mxQVmz7Y
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdAGp5YWiO
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb9t2dEryE
stab in the heart.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk64BLAx0Fc
"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."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3SAbhGdA3
"You know, the others 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqfPbPltbG
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQIdWoq11X
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdtUKpZ6lP
with WINNER yesterday."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGRpmZtmRs
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn39KxmUCS
I nodded my head. What I1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWegePmYGn
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjCBkAqTHR
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR73Im4yI8
of Seunghoon and I.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ggsN2UQOy
"You know you and I can 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbVp032Ni5
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5OecD0ITZ
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZfy81GU0E
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMjzq3GRTj
down the rocks."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy0kxV0eSv
I headed for the door 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Of2dNtLB
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrTS7iLgCU
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDIDJ16nJo
Zoey, waiting.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUJ2ZjcFZS
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLQnS5NXKe
"I sure hope so," I said1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PVogVAf7E
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b2D3d0wra
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y8CfF3e73
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dTeEpnMLY
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKJ86QmI6X
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU7uG1OIo4
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76jEq5xb93
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW0lUjih8h
"You know computers are 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G0sDB5Cug
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAD0eEL12e
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMBFxweexU
supposed to."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXuQAHL9co
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCGmoLIRBn
I smiled. "You always call me that."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH3Nc9GIp2
"Ya, because you're smart too."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eI5NZEpZ6
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9mCeBlRoD
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6iwmVIOii
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1OdTDTEG7
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSarSyIRN98
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3EKKO5RK9
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
