Lee's P.O.V1005Please respect copyright.PENANAArZICHX9x8
I was so tired as I sat 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6GOq6Q6q5N
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 1005Please respect copyright.PENANABhFI51HoUV
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAkygCWjpZej
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA98X4qe62Ag
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANARvfUvMR7wc
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaWa5VXsDlG
The past two days have 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAndpHRBTEJN
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA60h77VlAMX
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAvCwzhKJZtk
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being1005Please respect copyright.PENANAAyZ3xIGBGj
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA7rhbODjDpi
complain.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAapKH2DcbKS
Why should I complain? 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbnzG5EXgOY
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when1005Please respect copyright.PENANAnRu0zxNXpW
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlZAg5aYL3l
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAP5wgE8RsWm
I really love my job. 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAD07Bb1paXe
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAROWgFvapOM
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAdnty6U4e29
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAv6pO8NPGya
Collins is strict and 1005Please respect copyright.PENANASG7IpfFzkn
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbNJ61O8VrW
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaG3X4wBOTb
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only1005Please respect copyright.PENANAkyNwAD1oSr
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0eKfVRz6j5
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaBfIS0Twp2
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends1005Please respect copyright.PENANAMRXVtk5pok
over the years.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAo9k7I329qK
And another reason I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQpOmIva2zB
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected1005Please respect copyright.PENANA68nMYkx327
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z1PyXkrwS
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEGWgsi4gGL
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAODEKagGyua
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAarAO8cBzeu
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 1005Please respect copyright.PENANABfPg7sugpP
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAr6ozU7aZT9
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's1005Please respect copyright.PENANAiClZ5QqaMh
how they have managed to make it this far.1005Please respect copyright.PENANADrC6AcM0EO
As I remained seated and1005Please respect copyright.PENANAktB47idop1
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much1005Please respect copyright.PENANArODWouovxK
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVovLGwnmaw
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAMnTKDWDfpc
like that at all.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAD0gVuQzjPs
Not that I'm acting like1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhpmkYe3nC7
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAuwRHztZhxr
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAnenKtzSo8S
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 1005Please respect copyright.PENANApytvMHDqsJ
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVKRvKnJxdp
help in any way I can.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAYmxtwIqKfk
I looked at the time on 1005Please respect copyright.PENANABrj5Oqok9h
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPVrNmBZV10
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA87BzuJklEa
I quickly grabbed my 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOFSsXeS3km
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAMUUZsquvHg
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6pAkmmm29R
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOoaQpGRraJ
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWqTjewfmm7
"Ya, we're done with practise."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOgywSBUy2I
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUbZBrgpYVN
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwxpnbjBJgq
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."1005Please respect copyright.PENANASZMkIHBI6F
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAxY0BsaGizH
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhANPyDoFqA
Whatever ounce of 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAT1NPg6VDkU
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAvJe3EO4Xq5
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously1005Please respect copyright.PENANAv9YUKtQiT4
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAd1VuYiMVGi
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.1005Please respect copyright.PENANANrt7Clt5Tl
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0npKj0PIwX
I sighed as I leaned back on my chair again. "I guess if you're with TOP it's fine. But you should've informed me first."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqcd4DVoRHQ
"Is Collins with you?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0ph5Vx3OnS
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4V5LhLYM1w
"Good. I've something else to tell you."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAYY00WgGN0l
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAL7kjxcEVPG
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAdlwr2w4QcQ
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9B3ik1aIO
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAYdKnQZ3Pnf
"Tell me then," I insisted.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAoHMYK8Hui7
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHOUC1O0yOS
"Did you and TOP kiss?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANArwH5aEDbh6
"What! No! No way!"1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0GHhaxoYGa
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0ckRWPu36M
"What makes you think that?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAvXCIh91bsc
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAa4iDhSZ9YH
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPGetVmbP9N
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPVlNA52JSK
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA5VnYtgTyAY
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAtQp6LQ0iz1
"Try me, Sam. I've been 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAIV80N0Xnsv
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6GxC21rpEY
on that I won't be surprised this time around."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOgk9UPdCFm
"No, Lee, this time it's different."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfu9ktMch80
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA2wQ0IOObWD
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAkhqwdgb4LZ
Before Sam could say 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfhMVJPduOj
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAvoebm5pTbb
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANABJPyJLchIR
quickly realised that it wasn't.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA2wUszbXtXb
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAgG4sQJkF8j
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.1005Please respect copyright.PENANABYQtgaUwVE
"What the what! Sam! 1005Please respect copyright.PENANACcJ3clJBHj
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 1005Please respect copyright.PENANARgatm7G9Lc
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWTXDnktdri
"Wait, hold on, give me a1005Please respect copyright.PENANAjcrFLHXYG0
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAvMJadreowf
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQsicNnkeZU
tell you."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAJZG7iUnFBl
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqmTfcGtBtq
"Seunghoon from WINNER."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAo12uePK4jf
I thought the world 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAK8ItwRjzFZ
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUvaGxfEgad
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWc8YHxYFvH
"Sam, I'm going to faint1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPk0ChR9oER
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAH9Zj3vXdXk
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANATaoTue3mHg
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAJGyL7FuEUz
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."1005Please respect copyright.PENANATfHzybXtHU
"I know, but I've a plan."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAr7IdtFrVGU
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAKfcTVJx09j
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6iVNIRik41
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAa2weneMYuv
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAo5FyJMeBE2
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAtc3zW1jArG
"Or you can just join in1005Please respect copyright.PENANAc7mEKqNICR
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqORjfIuqNJ
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6FtlMWkVIc
"Okay, I'll be there. 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA5M9AeNEE2R
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 1005Please respect copyright.PENANArAoX6LlgSw
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOdwtcrAhNl
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6tpTllNJxl
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAKT0IKS2AeK
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA5bisoGzu3F
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOX14J9ne6m
"Alright, I'm on my way."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbemIryYqHX
I quickly cut the call 1005Please respect copyright.PENANATgtgL8r1TB
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAehkKporVxV
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAv9zACtoi46
the trending list, I was a little confused.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEq6pZA5z8y
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEAVbCqMln6
***1005Please respect copyright.PENANAJ49qa9zygw
Sam's P.O.V1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQGB6tdiwtM
I1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6P7gFYX06B
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZMjIfGKW4w
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAgpydcg00RE
the fans.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAh5pRfIi1rc
Since1005Please respect copyright.PENANAg03UzgK5vr
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAi7m6K4oARH
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAJe8efAyKB6
massive Times Square complex.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAJvavOwSY9d
So1005Please respect copyright.PENANAstr5eW2CVP
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAYcqjHa9Z6l
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAigTl45kSfR
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 1005Please respect copyright.PENANANUreInOFEM
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAnSLjqZ6NYP
serious.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA9pT8UM1y1j
"It's1005Please respect copyright.PENANALw3ErXnAuV
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA26AJAOUQ9T
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA2asrlOkWJ3
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwKc4PyHKsV
I1005Please respect copyright.PENANAavvAJv3OZB
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUHzljBTB5A
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 1005Please respect copyright.PENANATkAEfc1U0Y
somewhat worrying.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAKlsdAlwPIV
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAtZKTpndeGw
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0jclnGSFT7
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAj8ueIHFH3A
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVuZBLsR3sa
"You're right. I do."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAnbNCEi2aRP
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAdS3UruGasI
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6GvD73esmo
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPeeEPwhpJi
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA5hb2DNPQR2
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAeKwzSXZQ0O
"You're1005Please respect copyright.PENANANVEpDrWY0k
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAO435hFQ4K3
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA3Fucm4arNC
around here."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA90w6Oogera
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbwdb23scgb
"Who said we need to 1005Please respect copyright.PENANABpG13Jqz5W
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAAcTNhETLQ3
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4yYVSR5vo2
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAxHbGWTHzM1
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwOrqcWx5SP
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwMeI5njeCI
"Where?" Zoey asked.1005Please respect copyright.PENANApA0O0sYV85
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAw91b59EL98
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA3NP0OYnNDq
"Wait, a minute!" I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPztUprwJsI
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPLT7QqN9FH
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAmszmu06fMg
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAf6CkU43MLb
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwezlMtb87A
"Did someone just say 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAl9f25u3lT9
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAenNFViIov9
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0oDCff3WH4
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAckmpOhfurs
"You're doing that thing1005Please respect copyright.PENANABkMsUgw4Nl
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUX73kI8Tal
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOlp3Lj16VJ
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."1005Please respect copyright.PENANArxGCdXHXLk
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ0CVAzxeS
"Ya, true," said Mike.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAK4ce5Q5iit
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFHCotNwZv2
"I'm not going to 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbb1rzkgJnK
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9fxhRzcb5
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6apcFwOOiv
"No, I'm scared that 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfFDpXSJb76
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAXQuz2vfLLa
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaagx22XUpx
I looked at Zoey, then 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4B4153PCmT
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFlgBddIoP3
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAp4ia1Htv5m
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready1005Please respect copyright.PENANAkaOa1v9g01
for that bumpy ride again.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZUbXA3o6XW
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlGEBXhxwPs
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwgpioLEyp0
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwjBxDKCpsd
Daniel's mouth gaped 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAuxEHN0k8L0
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA9srtfkWFrw
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfIsvwEkMtL
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAzXxTJHkuwb
"Well, I think we can 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA3BhiINhNG1
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUQxA6qWON6
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAzWFGCAiyXX
"Same here," said Mino.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFOP4mGbcKG
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAdJjzvLiKmG
Everyone including me 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlG0gUwepJC
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0QidGKmopx
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaYzePO8mGI
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in1005Please respect copyright.PENANAygOO0jDpNt
Times Square.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAE6fU5veXBb
"There's an open food 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAGLgSFhXbWw
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAAl7Y11OrSO
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAcazvJnkmao
"Gosh, I've now realised1005Please respect copyright.PENANACxat7s8gQj
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAnvh5vcRVt6
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbjp2eBzQlS
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbjAweQf6MS
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhvJJNJ3MVb
"No wonder you Toxins 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAXUd5jBjD6s
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOZgtB6eY5I
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAsZBIJL3rM3
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAxf6Mhuv9j0
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4AOvEYRgnB
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA3dGqAIXEdj
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.1005Please respect copyright.PENANALWqs08Erxy
Zoey, Christine and the 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA9Eo7LDkmrE
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 1005Please respect copyright.PENANATbMWYclsfg
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4UXWqB8CLF
going.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAtpyjbb8YqS
"That's insulting," said Jennie.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPYuOeOqjrG
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAV3CVNXSgwL
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPR26IeUTdq
I burst out laughing 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAGwhfNCSEeU
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAcGNEdrfr0O
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 1005Please respect copyright.PENANATeSefa22CC
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5mMcb6Fs6
other floors because that would surly be something.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAa3DkUg0i40
"Good one, TOP," said 1005Please respect copyright.PENANADsQ5djJk4f
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAmvZO0NRswX
have thought of that in a million years."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPzEGH1RH1g
Everyone continued to 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZEIRNEbfl
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAIW1oLD7emh
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 1005Please respect copyright.PENANALHmrKmCyn9
how annoyed she was.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVWT0P26Psr
"I can't believe you 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZAUUkVL049
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA8VeEdzKLJZ
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwF7WfuNzbV
"Don't worry, Zoey," 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAd25D8dRYJG
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a1005Please respect copyright.PENANANCz3puuwnn
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhrNgfctSg8
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6k6wo0dBGH
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAceNvwY8mHN
"I'll sting him so bad, 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHYEsRAAye5
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqcKlZuE6mM
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA26E8Z8NHeK
"Oh, look, a stage," 1005Please respect copyright.PENANACvT5EulT7n
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqz5aEgLD4c
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAy5KFbUgCkm
In the direction Daniel 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAXF2y5qzefH
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAMLXwTWA1Id
there and get up on it. We all followed him.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAB7HnAwYfnL
"I've missed being on 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwLUt1Q6yKA
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVlmsmeTZrx
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA2esYG8Eoo8
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAstV4l532c5
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAzargpiYC62
"We're just having fun,"1005Please respect copyright.PENANA97zeB4XvyH
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfzZBvcSvGR
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlYK58GBEiK
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 1005Please respect copyright.PENANASq352aBZGV
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZwTW4N1vCy
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jn5qRzYur
The rest of us down the 1005Please respect copyright.PENANADLQYdoTbiO
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwFzObT6TQf
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA7CcF3gh8t6
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA9RRXU6lwdK
side of him was a shocker.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAkthR4ghFDa
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAS9LqkSYy4g
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAO9UOlVyRWf
"Mum would be so proud,"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAjx2IBqRV44
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOFP3XkUaZS
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."1005Please respect copyright.PENANADoX3roG2Ve
"Haha, very funny," said1005Please respect copyright.PENANAM4DqWplIqk
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAAsHkAhARuP
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANABM1ywhR64f
I looked at Mike and he 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOwuy3it47T
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAunT0a7WLbq
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWbRAvxkEUZ
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFoPbpuJvdw
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlrAcIQR5D7
"I'm still not going to 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6n07rGpPnS
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAXSvmKsQlWS
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA8m7izqEjW9
"I'll join you then," said Mino as he walked up on stage and then turned around to look at Zoey offering his hand to led her up.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAvn8pfbHgM6
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAxsBkXuafOG
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAMnsxMA6xFW
"No," she said still not1005Please respect copyright.PENANAeUJHK4QDp1
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAC06qXcA3zZ
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFl0yUmA5Bp
Everyone turned to look 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAjWqXCjhje2
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfCfVsSutfj
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFYCKagrHTV
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA06iIZsBThk
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUxPdFva5ai
was to sweet talk her somehow.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAzomIEUZyvM
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhsZIrWPKOa
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAeTGAYLd5se
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA3ysDEyvFTN
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUBxXlzqE36
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAF8zb9MiK5M
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAoAvMvTUdD2
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAjFW54hCgax
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.1005Please respect copyright.PENANALg4LJm3Qpj
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAenhd7uPFFJ
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.1005Please respect copyright.PENANACSK9p9B72z
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbyk6o5v5Eo
I snapped my fingers 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA00mTTUIisg
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAMr17EarNMT
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAsDQFEkJkfb
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhMlVS33GG7
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAw4F7GXnovI
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6vXpGhJzQV
Lisa: You're sweet like 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAw6NtvueSY4
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOt94z5OZH7
Jennie: You're sweet like 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6UeOCvBkyq
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 1005Please respect copyright.PENANALfaUtDhx2x
We all ended up giving a1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHtK5oUH8Dk
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 1005Please respect copyright.PENANACMEhhegN9Z
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAeGIRINu4ur
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaoPQLJAhpd
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAh28ZyxWr6G
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAyjvugeCEK0
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ9FZvLy6Y
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.1005Please respect copyright.PENANANXkfLJzOXv
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA5XAIg24SvV
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAw7UKR0usO8
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.1005Please respect copyright.PENANADXsfWyZhav
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbsLaHBl4aU
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPA4aS2ZQqg
Im a fan all day.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAA5YA2DdLWB
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAguVXm0jyKD
My manage behavior; Im into your major.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFymAr4MPhV
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFag0L8fFKU
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:1005Please respect copyright.PENANAsyZZD8yQwN
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.1005Please respect copyright.PENANApHtjG2WH3P
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.1005Please respect copyright.PENANANUhxRbyfm5
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVd3LCaBNt3
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlabR3zEQNh
The three couples on 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAIyqsZVLsq7
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And1005Please respect copyright.PENANAmxzT6oSTWe
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4yluz5yg5a
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhcLvXTZWs8
three couples surrounding me in a circle.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jjxa7dQIE
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]1005Please respect copyright.PENANATyKLET7t1f
This candy got you sprung [x2]1005Please respect copyright.PENANAg0LbzQ9KdZ
So call me your sugar [x2]1005Please respect copyright.PENANA5WpC6Co3n0
You love you some [x2]1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwFkWFAokgt
I'm sweet like 1005Please respect copyright.PENANADy6l5lveiY
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZwwob3KBGK
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6yOhsZ8JZA
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWOxOnzX3oX
Sugar1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUush0uKWXZ
Seunghoon came up on 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4CTqllhNHZ
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA9XDHTO0IIs
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAcQIWbfL4MW
Down stage, Seungyoon 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAyxKKSbHyOZ
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a1005Please respect copyright.PENANAYxarNaoqj8
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfdDNafc40r
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0DADHasYci
all did that simultaneously was awesome.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWCgtyQDhJj
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAL19OnUzMJS
All: My lips like sugar (x2)1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaHUZPZ3RDD
This candy got you sprung (x2)1005Please respect copyright.PENANA9Hm0g6IYY3
So call me your sugar (x2)1005Please respect copyright.PENANA7Bvg4v8Uox
You love you some (x2)1005Please respect copyright.PENANAjlqHTjtzEG
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)1005Please respect copyright.PENANAzI8FvbxZz7
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqJqyoqXXOa
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1005Please respect copyright.PENANA8GgEerLJe1
Sugar 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWv8EpJ7wtg
I1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhDlOj5ZImt
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAv5hIgIZtde
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWhPLzdrxdD
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAx5dgs5cjsj
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAy0s1qIckiF
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAzZI5awKcWl
Onlookers1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4O6fLZH2zY
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAXpv9KmIaU4
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlsLuPsnNCC
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAjafkJzwjRO
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAskqz8aeZOO
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhJuIBQxtWo
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAz9bxeAcOUg
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4mps3kzJfm
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA07mN9IGeTg
"Ya, we really should," I answered.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQkkh9a73G1
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA8u2Xl2faCm
"Take a bow," I said.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0i7LmPrAmI
Zoey who stood next to 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlXjIb8K2lk
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAtOgGVXjG4k
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took1005Please respect copyright.PENANADpr67wSIu5
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down1005Please respect copyright.PENANAnhls7isCMb
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAjapFehtpCN
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZRwcvAZBR8
"Well, this just got 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA3HWanBjbJf
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAL2tgsc5obD
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfKowCKfTut
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAXXnpFy5djs
The way Mike said it 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwsViLgcR5Y
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA48urcqQdPS
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA52YoCaMF9a
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.1005Please respect copyright.PENANADkWHp12tU9
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlxn0SomYsB
When I got down from the1005Please respect copyright.PENANAKCyOfGwgXx
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA3jPsqC5t6U
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in1005Please respect copyright.PENANA8k95K4C89C
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWNcTki68Yd
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAzhSVIwJCou
"Well, you guys sure 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAH2RlEgWFo3
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAYHCRIg2uxT
had to warn the security before I could even get here."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFAD24j5i13
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAMvVGDe3trV
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaAGxuXaTBt
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 1005Please respect copyright.PENANADUo8lSDWXf
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhLeOjwNmUx
"We just missed you, 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2YRee2lzE
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually1005Please respect copyright.PENANAljFeyCEZ4x
with us but these past days you haven't."1005Please respect copyright.PENANACxL8LPAG8O
"You're right and I miss all of you too. Been caught up with work. And now, you have all given me a much bigger mess to clean."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA5RXyCz4lCz
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAseh2k1HSsm
"He would've called by 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOWKlUeD9DQ
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA2yWwUUuSeD
no calls from the grim reapers yet."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA5KYaMFb6Ul
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAxq5bvRKOGY
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAt134XR0awz
Immediately Lee focused 1005Please respect copyright.PENANARpl9hsXuNr
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone1005Please respect copyright.PENANACZ7f1Xw1UY
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhtfNRbrfQn
couldn't blame them.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHG5UnNOTu3
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAW57kULemzD
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.1005Please respect copyright.PENANATi7yaKoyFW
"How1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEphPfzGno3
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked1005Please respect copyright.PENANAXRh45AReum
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVUu4XaUZpg
your own dance hall."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA3AWXjcdkMp
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAMRPhKweGdo
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOjDi7jcVb7
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAL8ClkRaDNR
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....1005Please respect copyright.PENANAO7r4epQUWF
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.1005Please respect copyright.PENANABWYpN7fIXa
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3XfFedCC1
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAmyYhVeuHQ2
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAIkVTlioJWc
"No,1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhfmQbuWj5o
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAa2bbSc1Bxd
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell1005Please respect copyright.PENANA40fd9AbIYG
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAncJ99rQcUB
"That would have been nice," said Mike with a stupid grin on his face. I threw him a look and the smile fell right away.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlR8RVGbS19
"No, we met them today," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Seunghoon and looked at him. "You hid in the girl's closet?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANADpIHjPKrwV
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwlWbYv7DDQ
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAu7uDH5n7Xr
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhjz9XlYvS0
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWaqLsH5WXP
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ866XfOjc
I1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVLmhXCZDTg
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAsgaiNFguKe
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQppKu4adSR
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it1005Please respect copyright.PENANAgddiTfxCU5
was a lot to take in.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA2RA4kAgg4Y
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZQuzJWx3Z4
"That's1005Please respect copyright.PENANAB8YbjKAzsC
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAgfgYhRnDMb
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 1005Please respect copyright.PENANACPAwLXl5sJ
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOH4xUFxm3G
still find out anyway."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA5xyhF8sgFE
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA2MjH1xxr6z
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaQnqpWSLcO
Everyone1005Please respect copyright.PENANAIhBNr6ngoG
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4NbKEiVWXf
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6lK9CUXFy5
somehow the anxiety was killing me.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAYdIc6I7sHd
After1005Please respect copyright.PENANA7zo9scjXTA
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQoRXRdkenx
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4pLD7dnISp
food court when Lee asked:1005Please respect copyright.PENANA25tsrnfTKR
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUqFwA2EKfw
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4XccQTyzyB
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwWtd2qTNAO
"You1005Please respect copyright.PENANAP3fX5SHnjD
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAkLaPeIZdNF
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAas5s4Eg7Qu
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAiu4CUGAdL3
"I1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlZzTd61NcW
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEfiD98jbR0
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAj6baFbnmSs
okay."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPO242CSkKT
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAdMmI2T1Wt5
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHKe9rSw6i9
"You1005Please respect copyright.PENANA8kci9t0MId
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 1005Please respect copyright.PENANADNffILn4tp
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAAbHXycVZlC
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAd4ylp0jNcz
don't know up to now."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA1VdvrlRkyx
"BTW1005Please respect copyright.PENANAxA0kFQwTnG
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWMg8qwk8o6
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA7nI8NuEkz4
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA2Bgqq6FPdD
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFo0n69idc2
"I1005Please respect copyright.PENANA1KDdIYhYi8
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAf6X9S1sOuK
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbCwp2NVZX0
normal human perspective."1005Please respect copyright.PENANArWNgnahrL3
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."1005Please respect copyright.PENANATTIbGZjc9p
"I think she is," said TOP.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA8PzkdV2D0b
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlG5u1p4jRW
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAI4pFYSxrHt
Zoey1005Please respect copyright.PENANAH8bjCet5I4
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA23oNkmQWpY
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAMuL2DsZca7
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAoe9S9cl1Er
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAJJU2YI2Nfw
Before1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOAJUDXQEld
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOAEJ1MLXe0
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 1005Please respect copyright.PENANARAJzUc7EII
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAl3jNDwoLjt
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.1005Please respect copyright.PENANARhLiLEA3Or
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAV30CCY9uwn
The1005Please respect copyright.PENANAefO1tOx5Ri
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA3WmVlGwXrP
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAuxCNBbSpyt
would never stop fighting no matter what.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6OFCRVoIU8
"I1005Please respect copyright.PENANAdhCUElKdg1
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a1005Please respect copyright.PENANAAckOwUTw4V
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAScwEISh5qn
it's full of drama too."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAGKKaQUqhQy
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPnIVf3ysqC
"Do1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwuBmxb6dev
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbrw9PcqfP0
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 1005Please respect copyright.PENANApw2zkgkEZR
court.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAYWci6EM2G7
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0DRgbpz1my
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAtfczA8rNlK
"I hope so too," said Christine.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbtGtnM01XQ
"Come1005Please respect copyright.PENANAoLY29vSAZg
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVKitMg2EmZ
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA1QahNbH6dC
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA1jq3KbGbsM
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA3BCUbsqmw8
As1005Please respect copyright.PENANABwo2A0gdTL
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning1005Please respect copyright.PENANAcUoChZrNrh
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 1005Please respect copyright.PENANA5qLg78krg7
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAtf7YdwEskS
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAq5uWVrBEIh
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAnVAHind8cm
I1005Please respect copyright.PENANAC57OOIYdZE
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAXK0Xzuuwjv
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might1005Please respect copyright.PENANA75gIUnEWhq
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 1005Please respect copyright.PENANASA2BQFXedf
of the blue may arise.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAYiZo3Ycsri
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
