Hanging out at Times 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BMe6X1OCP
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4aOGcgjTZ
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MyIKeAYBW
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuzgCqcdZL
But that didn't matter. 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyZRwMLSH2
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQR81uF1A5
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy13wcKbYK
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2PjXCtrZY
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57p4X32GH1
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIXWwtCu10
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9b1xKm7k3
actually played around with the adorable kids.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET3qVmuHjI
There were plenty of 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gef6gu76M
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaX6FykVtY
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtypdamnD1F
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQuMDy5eSU
fans too.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tzNlpK140
The time we were done 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGZ2BLAb4h
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEiO4zkXlW
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqWUaIxUoI
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23HxJfQeQt
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLDgX3qF3L
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0B1THCf9B
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniZ2kIu1E9
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLWGUC1cRx
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWVPAc4kJQ
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkrxb5DfXk
previous day, of course.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMprOtjPUBN
As much as the managers 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5byuxHRqoi
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr3vt0GjBv
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lKezljcde
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBXZkvr1CR
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62cqdDQd0n
Right now, this very 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHajUEjXgGH
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xeDNRmZte
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse2qTtLUwI
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ2cGKQYmx
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyXKOYth6r
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ae3hdmHXx
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGepbsrswv
and I just couldn't take it.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzPjHMQFq0
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPaVijc8je
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1tqVn5EUX
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrjRtQHyiL
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMNBBFqaOf
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxkDIsEvAt
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zmKyDlenH
"I thought you said your plan would work."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ouEgJmhR
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUZv2LM8LX
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxLzlYEoPm
I felt like slapping my 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyf9qJcvnJ
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AOcjkouVx
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzB52OWzMn
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQFk40mNMZ
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ2io1LwWt
off.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ShqM3BFic
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhcgnC6RSm
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6AqBmwnJ1
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUaD1drvKQ
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2NXUdYKyV
I shrugged. She read my 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLZ0WCaM0g
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFc9HjoB8q
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJD5utp8N3
me the whole time."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1J1p0rfoL
I sat down on my bed as 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4DyAvVsHm
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcbtvOcKsY
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw2OR42JX6
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx8YXPmT9i
"Gosh, you really should1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohK1Lbnlsz
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkUCAF2dLo
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNcCGViydW
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZewvO2iMbJ
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1oGdSfZNn
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYIbgVAXyF
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOQK1Vg1FF
"Mike is annoying 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCMwmkDPOc
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e4UsW6j8Y
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJqj7NZ49g
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2MQpRPNIy
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7EYCrx5Gr
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo75W5xEIWn
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYTbwxOuoU
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhquiVjxWNP
"Sorry, but just so you 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ5CIfFvDC
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjowveU2g6P
that pic of you and him together."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiMtQmPyHV
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1YbPmiVZE
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi72ZIQc5c
I blushed and at the 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfJAwPP7tl
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGLZg0rioL
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGxEIi37nW
other hidden agenda.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPZMAo8C3W
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3H1rebhd2
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYRUU4gVpK
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxLKyVxxUx
I sighed in surrender. 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIcFLXCIja
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eUFFgEZg0
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpbw7PqNtK
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FsQiMidwj
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."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sZxAWVxPo
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsxfXBiyXC
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsbP77sfRV
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp6iCMRAAY
Zoey had an excited look1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW23jfzEIYZ
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L1QiDaGcY
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdLLYX31Z6
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqPoYNVDmY
clearly show all over her face.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfLw4T58Lv
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUZ8bOLxvo
I shook my head. "And?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAd96voqll
Zoey folded her arms, 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKgJ16ahhL
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUhBGVXv0w
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJypb8Wp0im
"Hold that thought. This1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDalisvmVii
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlduQknTodo
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF93Wevwd5
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU45lcq2Ce
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUQdn08Kxr
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fDJWdkVIB
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUWV8RWfNP
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWimt3YqlYO
"Well, he hid in our closet."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyyvVLz0wj
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE35FXiVmf2
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ldZVG0KYj
"Ya, why?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr12X3mZ9lL
"Looks like we just 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpKODnzyv5
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCXtnuTjdF
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN5NQWDyWc
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."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuO3Ak5UUX
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDeUAYkWcV
"What do you mean? You 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW9RqNbUV7
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziwojKag29
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaKVMK4z32
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRHvcysYf5
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3sa7GBgrH
"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."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru3jhdX74u
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH66xbkQuMi
"I wanted to but I kept 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UGfbxROH5
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjjkhNkNZe
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJGvA7TTXm
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETr2EmQpHb
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivFdcb4Rcz
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53k1HBkkRc
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLtL36vk2Y
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4EsodAitV
I quickly stood up and 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEtshgVE40
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk6oE7WKrM
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5olYiMtN4o
her back.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr1PpU6r0u
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yEX7HktJw
"Zoey, you're going to 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl0nCoL54N
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv113Q2ZGd1
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrredkXjD13
own hair pink in the next ten years."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn34r5BOrQ
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIMkQXiaQx
"You're lying."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoXoEro8ni
"I'm telling the truth!"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlRGhegRKV
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOOFmgpj7y
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFzu4UIe58
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXiPNynIff
"I can't tell you that."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSc25gN5Pm
"Why?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTL8gErV6c
"Because it's 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eDbtVUAEJ
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VV6ZCqZFI
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVzl1yVBHp
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DMhiVExPl
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIMpl4TqEv
"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."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVSUx0uYax
"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.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FM2ZNeoVh
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreSuMUCxhC
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhncyRp6QSI
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFqchRsiae
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblG6SQ4rBn
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGe6fyycaZ
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8Bc2jXapp
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7bYb27WbE
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSM6pV9waM
I playfully rolled my 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbJXwbmKsC
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmfa0l5FtF
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf1GRGPxHb
also looked worried.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TDvqh2auF
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYfksygCsh
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zEYPDP3pl
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jbMuoIwKt
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoo1SqKskG
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo6VmAWi3b
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0Q6AXOj2r
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeRusNY3RK
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8R3qor1SE
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuhMnp9R4R
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArjP1vp7rn
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjOdemIgUa
"Okay, first of all," 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlnHBWa9FI
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqQz9ETfO6
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqpMTdJYTn
he wasn't mad at you."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadcgJQZ4wD
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbie9z9RDo7
"That, he couldn't say."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRFmmURREm
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPKOZJMynl
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsD9lpYHIq
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnPWWnuP3C
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteADCBL09D
Christine pressed the 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKHjIB2sq0
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvJYuLb3L8
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FUJMKGiHw
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPS2HFZdLD
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz6XAnw5wA
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu866Vtrp6
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUEwran9NW
We got to YG right on 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnpteimbMV
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV4TTzEsIh
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WOQWLODPA
arrived a few seconds earlier.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMkbnnMDhl
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8KiklM5EL
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rjfk06u6U
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOivJLx6jQ
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJVVgYU52W
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj22e2FFdXD
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4T0U2R9ZF
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ5UlOti2T
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOtn0qOkCE
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOulHQXIgz
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwhfXrOgwc
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ilc0duRkG
"There will be no such 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe6LNnqYsw
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx0MN5Wj8Z
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zekiB7T8O
"And you're making it 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWtxtW34Vy
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJehfFw1WXE
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr6URK5I4b
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HVziygVoJ
"Trust me, you don't 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiR3lTHZW2
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAUSDWrVBl
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLtgfyzjZo
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvEgtadFts
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUzEiUgY9s
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32LFixVIsR
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLYBgyonJN
"Look, whether they are 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqJYsfbEYg
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkCPGyG9nn
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQfkG3dYHk
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCnPicFJe2
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB9yp5unrH
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ846vwKU7G5
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtka0XrpQz
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwL0hGgh0l
I gave Lee a sad smile 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mEx49Tlev
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQQ3fzNGGq
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0soTHNiWq
your life. Like suicide.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEh7esJg1Z
We started our way 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUvPQZNphd
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Wg114LFN
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDjgNYl172
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8MeCevOS8
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMexGqHg7o
I quickly ran out of the1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WK1mq6STP
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDSHos4wVY
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMsXzBDRCG
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFZQTMBcD5
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy5TrVE3t0
check for it inside.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgddJFbTE3N
When I got to the 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUmjigetV8
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL05UPu0Ei
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qJ575PTF8
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1wNn91qAg
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfjgxO012X
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku6Jhfa0ZP
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt3r61hz40
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtiqp51SgH
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfS6y9H9kV
"Seriously, I can sue 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsWooFqimZ
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdGjLu9h7P
fast. I never even heard him coming.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXvNGEIBKy
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6X8kzEL0P
"You're not my bodyguard1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjICcyyCKS
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEqgY4S9Y7
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOYZlasmKv
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIpRjgdSIj
I blushed. "You know about that?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPktkp5vFKf
"Everyone knows you have1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKKLqItium
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmttYxK5AcF
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6l9qkbfQZ
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYZMl2kz1v
"Looks like I did the 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ4cmVjV1F
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLKthKjmxR
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DxPhQJXXI
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3cdCe0EDG
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnGWxJXXke
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKKeNzDWaI
"And because you're a 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkemLqr3Vve
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L1LyEic6T
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJK26p58tZ
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdUFEX9Ulc
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFiCHX4oK7
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISTGLSa0Nu
"Can you at least tell 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6HCGlK5FW
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9J6nHODRU
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpOPSNSUgF
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3efM1W0az
"What dramatic effect?" 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybq0FIED5W
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf54bt364e
came closer. I took a warning step back.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFXqn0DD4v
"If you hadn't followed 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqTI83Grup
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrxAWb3R2q
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHNIJHnD6e
room."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOcNYdY9lm
"What surprise?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRef9zsWRof
The elevator stopped and1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHI0AgqWr8
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDUSDEqe4Z
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKoYwiU6Pu
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtjmLgJWYV
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dOdcyHnsN
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzXZ303g7O
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd8OauZFL3
"I already have a guess," I said.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJfMPnRLgQ
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5N7xmoUpF
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC1beOVXYY
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0YYxUeR2j
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9RWFH2sc4
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBBm5R1B4n
When we reached the 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTj4I0Gk9A
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ALAQP13cp
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQl3KSoSkQ
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL1FUN8IKm
In the conference room 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvnsDUo7KH
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48GA05O4dp
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Vx6C8FZ8
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzCm1mrpK6
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdkOT31Dm3
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO8SvYDPz9
though I did my best not to show it.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyATCpBTlW5
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNg6EIYBLF
I looked to the opposite1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP6NcL1IQU
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHwdxWtO1z
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALdxRk6GxB
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPPZL3B3S5
"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."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrKOEbgcWG
G-Dragon quickly turned 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLVodKewXi
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kBnrlHZjg
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AMIxdp0Zr
"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?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK9CyToPY0
"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.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcUDN2u869
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKBpvhJmNe
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknUn06dHP4
"Wait," said Lisa who 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl6ep4n3pW
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw3dwiNEAw
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fUW3RGmIT
"It felt simple and 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqANzw6ylC
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fItBn5aZn
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv00LpllA6t
with G-Dragon today."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhtVZBzBGJ
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoEaiP51RB
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyRt4UKeSV
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPfjHHS3cn
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGwjNTFQrH
"Ya, I know I'm a 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHPTiPcFj6
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcfkiSdWRG
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lsdq2BXI5
"If you mean us getting 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzPbH53YcJ
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh5exvGHGb
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bQpsdrbuS
by coincidence."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR6WxlOwQb
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBgHz5R0Rk
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12kviwthh0
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXjyVAoWe7
The rest of the BTW crew1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsb1JHHEx3
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQTsAHnA9D
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeERJKQ9Qa
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIYuN6ZKim
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF8TDPt5r7
"Hold up," said Zoey who1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY0BLBJm9I
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuYUBvO6i7
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk9hmrFSfr
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlk3Pb0k4c
"Told you we'll 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbtBdjlH7w
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fc1XcpOM7
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhCeuIwtNZ
"But is he going to do 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi9RqpQYru
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxu6Rds5b0
didn't really meet by coincidence."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rb3AYPsBg
There was silence in the1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsjqZSSiBJ
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbn7FUDJXq
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCJx2erW47
planning to do.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p4r7mhn4B
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxULiA4Xpy
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFX6kHKB9P
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIsZ8RSmmD
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76PWS0jrmE
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyCyjnumAI
"And also because he's 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkljJ15Y31E
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2nblvggAd
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhlSKq4t1J
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej23PcbL6Q
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1t2gYvXOY
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGJr5TnxVr
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuRg779USU
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIhzX5LGU3
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDjU7w62CW
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrfxyrSoF3
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiw8jGCwYv
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3thvpEYV2A
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupHHASeJC6
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV52pefbeP1
deal with G-Dragon instead.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHOYxcJ5b0
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gQivCdMGl
"What do you want?" I asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXrR7bRFp0
G-Dragon looked at me as1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguwFpRKpXf
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3mRsXqkje
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLTdUWHOiS
came to any conclusions.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4A5bUukbE
"To make things clear 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vY4NGQAkC
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DMFmMMMGZ
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkidxeftnAW
thinking about doing the same thing."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvflfbKItm
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhXh8Ra0Vp
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2UmZXIa5O
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4aK33QbNL
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXjDLrnoCf
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE5Sc994c6
"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."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPgmIVVaWP
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJJdrSPCeC
"All's fair in love and 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnQVKYCpCW
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK7zgvjOKA
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK6zrnHLSn
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRzl2nhMiw
"Come on," Christine 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4p0Ej386D
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqePZYoxJT
won't be here for long and you know it."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk0c0Qeq4G
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNe9kD9AFt
"BTW is nothing but a 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iuhVOOwbw
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPhztDu78K
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcifbofZK00
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLewg9FMm4G
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBklliSHbPs
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuumUSV3sd
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKi5WayXGp
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYoiLPNq5C
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dn7ohMcBZ
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTOeO8M1IU
"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.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVjPVvSOML
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdVoHCZbyR
Upon saying that, the 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7xgXVdLkO
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8WG5a0sF3
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY69WIj2hZz
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGYzHoAMXs
seated stood up.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OKZN80NxE
I gulped. I hope the 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrFn1VaaHQ
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ySxz2iWWQ
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ulfI5zD0t
The two managers had 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsAzryXDGj
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHllUDPhCeJ
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPcNcZf1VZ
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lYQrbcUVP
is wrong.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafkRhfMWYA
"Good that you're all 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwyEZ9CYuZ
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUikjjGk8Cn
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyazFrOaOY
I have always hated it 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmtSkmpLln
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE1IvJ5XD1
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDuEVPuz6f
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo7Ukn7B84
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkRLt2G3kt
their seats.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1caliVoI6
The two managers and Lee1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SPUqXgCNM
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOF7AiO3FF
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL2A3a0QC0
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUELsmWFmn
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE95jas2Mn9
was.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFfT4HwIS0
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8He2y8JyR
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARc9xg0vNk
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsYRBc2R5k
Zoey sighed loudly in 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU8BjnEr9Z
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmOLXhmCV1
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOOAYxdyJB
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv1gx9fwKY
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaxqTYw9NL
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPW7UrdElf
The two managers 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ34gGy9YrY
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dl6Ii5eCe
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Hzm6OylZ
That was so not cool.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4Vhl2IcRx
"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."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb389OGHPy
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0wzm5sydr
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyYygoLA3Z
My ears perked up when 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG5cgVvN9f
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO6s1wPnhL
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLz7Jn8HyD
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfa6gyP7ym
"We heard you outside 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFyoNUAKTk
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13t8cNnGeg
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pLCLFNfAn
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswySACmTHp
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4ALwCUjCp
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8F3fnGzpt
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaVQ8FepaK
through further scrutiny about this decision."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtno8fWivQ
I smiled. Even if they 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2YidbZQGX
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjy88e84zO
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWOCnJKH8V
There was an exciting 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCeqTOBsrZ
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ye1DSW2N
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1F0oWLblP
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A26gulU64
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBX2Jj7zIW
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVxmUu4yOp
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU9OHACkri
I turned to my other 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Jw7aMdVb
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WudStuPRo
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH7sqsdNJO
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5OlLUH0W3
now, didn't matter.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cda2PX4dQ
"You heard them when 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHWIZqkOZL
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOEOJf8kmW
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosMCKXjiqF
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6iGxsuQwd
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5XHCWvcNv
"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.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrpk9B3Nks
This time it was me, or I1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW8mhYv6L2
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bpvvuiaeo
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF2eB5Odwn
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVHDuY2HLv
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0NbMVcwsk
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL2SYQXnBf
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIJpMhzP7x
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuGzLUDyW8
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN15YmCetEz
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0IyG9YGS9
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL7abWSSf6
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0FCV8xwVt
"We all agree," said Daniel.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTN2FasEwl
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCC7eUZujm
"But just because it 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPyMx7xAKy
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrKvimi0xV
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfxuN4Oxzq
"Okay, so that's settled1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF46Zqg8CDu
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLd0f4o63M
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlldVyHNjs
BTW official."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz59K1fvYJR
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWRJrUYMqq
I noticed that most of 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDUhenSJzP
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToK8QEGorU
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsLGWKBWUb
when she looked at me and I grinned.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UqbVufWe9
"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."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PueVaaeuA
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqQi8I4ep4
"Before we make BTW 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgOizpm5EN
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgvHaDoc7C
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVykCMir04m
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmJrTxnzQN
low for a while. Is that good?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfxG9GpRY9
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzatLcrLTU
"That's fair enough," 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsIOUfftXv
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv4wfTWr0y
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38s9iFkcuX
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGqhsOl7XM
so."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatF1vsOmla
"So you want to crush 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGwoGpZywx
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84rV6LSnAC
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovhmVJM1WP
strategy."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wHENaUMuk
"Then if all is well and1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMroDi60WF
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv5HxsdoI9
updated and not a word on social media."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXogA9ZiFCF
I stood up from my seat 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV8RNhWjXn
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOX4wTbi4h
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iVpTty3sG
walk out, I stopped them.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U5pgfoFcB
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDSdsdRiwa
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a4uAYf2Hh
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRzp2sM6sI
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WfNDNptDs
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAVl5v5sTA
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ytiPgzryt
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxxkHew0Wx
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISOJ3vVsze
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLY24ReAkO
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdYoBreTeM
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaROJ29ITij
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZYtIHLjPq
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJKLVHFaXX
"This is like the best 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw9AOYIVN4
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnJv1S8YwU
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9STgu54XjG
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePKHefaHKB
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvduBc8mEht
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogX6A4NBr0
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ndBrN6fF
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fdq1GJKZR
"I knew there was a 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswwtP9fAGT
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG22BF5Hux
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0eTm22sBx
G-Dragon.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3vuwxHmxG
"You knew?" Christine asked.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRme3VHLmV
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPFOYlibX1
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubtDfpEJoJ
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH8OH7GmaV
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA74YYz2K6u
"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.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo8GCMsqnD
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoR6dEFuDP
"Well, you guys can tell1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Di5gc3xFT
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGwZxRkeSl
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTv724QByD
aren't going to go into the same car."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEJ09H7VZ4
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPdkze3bDB
Everyone else started to1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hLHhUjoba
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK8N12FD50
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbiXQLY0m8
only G-Dragon and I.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPB60Ng4O0
"I'm mad at you," I started.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrteRewojB
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ6YgBmHpz
"Save it." I held my 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOIvyZgV22
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lYQwbSZNN
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o5c7M99ZU
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2y2iWKaGO
a war again."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFGJf9CTG7
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HFjhjsYXB
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc9wfeB4lL
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqrqHxIfwT
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVLMBbW4Ly
G-Dragon looked at me 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCfIKGHXcN
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e3hn36TAG
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstTP8WvyLp
stab in the heart.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxcGLjyE7H
"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."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBgYpEKvnO
"You know, the others 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzrUVI3ivB
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoMcU151Hy
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmNCrq5Gp6
with WINNER yesterday."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIAhwjvphb
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPx3QYDuSC
I nodded my head. What I1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0ltwYXAGp
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdc9fa4by2
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uMD5qhAmn
of Seunghoon and I.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkHhHAjmTY
"You know you and I can 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidbjqaCOak
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZI0LsqUHa
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUiEtrDFsf
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv28fIeKo9K
down the rocks."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB4auYy0Nw
I headed for the door 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0MKhbL9YV
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8n5dLK9GH
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqurlCExfN
Zoey, waiting.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXDsZR1epk
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMSb8TiJFd
"I sure hope so," I said1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnkMx6DNOQ
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74onZ4bPx4
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSamKDNibZm
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qAtbErRFV
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3zC77V254
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNuM5LUWj4
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOOXu4VNVu
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwOyojHpJC
"You know computers are 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGZx1OvhJe
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyFw5kH6FE
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTgbORRmEW
supposed to."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiH1hDTvJz
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGpwyEcH9f
I smiled. "You always call me that."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGkGb6Glob
"Ya, because you're smart too."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylsKufkcOo
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWit4WCNmvB
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCtJBsdtDw
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ3MKYKcwV
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF467YOiHV
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1060Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsWaP8OGwi
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
