Hanging out at Times 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOLiGxvuzA
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJV9r0OIjy
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi41mEIU5ky
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiZ7tt41v9
But that didn't matter. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3aokddtbp
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnewxxjHQ3
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lp02aNLKM
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm24ZLnsF46
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrsAAXDvoL
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjnTdR4m3V
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv81OQTgWyK
actually played around with the adorable kids.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgChaJ4ZkVJ
There were plenty of 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mSJHGLB7Y
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBSCpS68Dz
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUSkCKluHQ
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb6ikI4QDb
fans too.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWucGkGHJ2F
The time we were done 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G5zumOYse
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUCQ3Ac6Ue
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8MZ6b4HVt
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ziPPIcQzo
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXk8KpQXOd
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA8oHyBh9S
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt8HyHjHzT
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOijImhEfX
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexfbsp4w0Q
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbX4suuLi6
previous day, of course.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsfBGjeUyt
As much as the managers 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ457NGRdUET
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28q7K1KIYH
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaB5CqamBq
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RhFkAQFEs
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqTiiWj5nw
Right now, this very 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSftFxvTBaN
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4cYI1YAcx
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHhwbQwphc
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXtTkWKBiD
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nNTL1BJVY
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLMnQ1E2qA
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavL3fIXWlg
and I just couldn't take it.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVBEzQHeFG
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU48HknS9v8
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumGbrbhR1L
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKOyCYdrn9
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWhxUcPzPr
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxk3KdXOqB
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeT84gPdyI
"I thought you said your plan would work."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh23ddQ0qC8
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pArkHf8Ta
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbxVuMBdDO
I felt like slapping my 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIjeleJdtP
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFpsQgbGON
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1dQTZoSRL
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdvTtMOkeQ
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgRa9eHyiH
off.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5cxc314g3
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Eaj9AJAQK
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKt36gV3Q2
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFsCLZlNH5
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbKCEFSPrQ
I shrugged. She read my 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNUT7GdDep
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzKPPlQ092
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqBusHRAjH
me the whole time."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3qD3Uwn09
I sat down on my bed as 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsCf3eCEBs
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQQavqR2sY
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZYuwiEpwt
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYO0DamOce
"Gosh, you really should1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeVNdvvgdc
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnNGa8lrmU
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNrrx3N1C3
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdV6LarcAO
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzIrCGdgb6
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCogSnUqCA4
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKeARqSt7V
"Mike is annoying 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI7mNpEJA5
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAiEvdXk3Q
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF4nh5zcX3
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuquqNepKxA
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7T1QCCufF
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrWO19aPgb
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIjaP2KiMr
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs6HlIDZvv
"Sorry, but just so you 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3GsBSw4Tl
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb3Tr2Wu8H
that pic of you and him together."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil5Gi5FEO4
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFZIgA3Iz8
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJnE6YvgT9
I blushed and at the 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnZMqEgaPo
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3VaL0T2at
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWMmf1WFeQ
other hidden agenda.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IHVeFzQeM
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B00ZAMJBd
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEF4SmzSjV
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Y2BVPF6A
I sighed in surrender. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Q11HOJ6D
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm8Re8dm3Z
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvviVfbFuL
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCKLOwwVRx
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."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqg7QocqGM
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNZfsoMc9h
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvyZPNl5lw
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT3Et5Yx7l
Zoey had an excited look1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEflo6YuTnB
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbrdEnthFE
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQiOJivSZj
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPehefsKyfG
clearly show all over her face.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTxraGi6ld
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ofxuJvVUo
I shook my head. "And?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m9GGuCUGs
Zoey folded her arms, 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4WtZMmgFB
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI56nu4Iab
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQCV2wZMNd
"Hold that thought. This1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgD9CKm5xg
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ2lI02EGK
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdjSWzkzOk
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRqwV5hSBx
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaRTltKOei
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDoRr9IIml
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NIiUtkYcL
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi6ZCzhCMv
"Well, he hid in our closet."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwowY3PkQJ
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVfN8fUZ9x
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYj4pVRGgn
"Ya, why?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLa86J4BAs
"Looks like we just 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUxS7x2u9a
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHLwpytwSl
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmdqwNmaDG
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."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKeVHh9dHC
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRuUBZ6lgH
"What do you mean? You 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h7z5wa8zb
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WZ8IUnwVv
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNX9aKUIeY
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNwMvFwDpw
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNUA5YUfrP
"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."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1zrUwqoKm
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhILIf4aulS
"I wanted to but I kept 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYk0VmoCqm
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzoWUeR2mP
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT5CD1YhcJ
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgBWRwe4iw
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjKNLWRRYr
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzhX2BpI7Y
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzAkTyFPhL
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJfB3auTpu
I quickly stood up and 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn4aRPDEi7
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMy0tlDFs1
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx53nj7LOe
her back.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1LFfWtIDj
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhYbKRTen4
"Zoey, you're going to 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d7YolzOEd
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFEDPyF8tc
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8ssDl1FZM
own hair pink in the next ten years."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVaJIqGa1c
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaJtd8rqwE
"You're lying."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16oOSFy4Xx
"I'm telling the truth!"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQHQnYJ9Zz
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKmWEhxVOu
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv7gNJGhDb
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXaFCoyt9i
"I can't tell you that."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdUDe8hQs2
"Why?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5jXM8sP41
"Because it's 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRnpeqp1fB
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoeQeZW9cl
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXlzMkHb5q
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGKroaVbRy
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPiVu25Tfo
"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."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6CLj9cR6G
"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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAaTzifkam
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPYZ5WI8nC
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhOp5DPfrm
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9za47Z8QqB
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIQunMhFHA
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zG06Pe9hQ
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DoUQPRiic
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepEjbdPXGu
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg86o3mLLi3
I playfully rolled my 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrmsr3S6Qp
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnxhz93Ml0
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XpZzOMIyn
also looked worried.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJZKYh4d9G
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Lt3fclNP
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d8mX0rNyg
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQyqYhvOeB
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRh4B3Ef2V
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjESFwMbxml
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9YQAqdPy2
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7PCzZw2jp
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJaDXPFw8D
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAQuqNA7xL
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24ZNieUL3C
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GFYr73k5f
"Okay, first of all," 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuikMdrMvT
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKeko5M3s1
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ6LkM9j9O
he wasn't mad at you."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphnpxgtvRn
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLKTeNfkbT
"That, he couldn't say."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjGyUrRJXC
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwAlM4qHfr
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjjceAusSL
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnd8LjovQl
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8Q22tGOFk
Christine pressed the 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv713yi0NN
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQgnV5LioH
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg5ycL1GKe
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8nbh0WPr9
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVH0FTLkQB
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFPXRBX6uq
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqTYiFfqGk
We got to YG right on 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGoQ3EYbkL
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslGBksGmP7
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCOEq07kwT
arrived a few seconds earlier.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnsEaU7S1f
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx027OjHjMF
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCc3k1Aeqm
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyBvxnvBvJ
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p3cHZgIU2
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMcRjrWvzN
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMniyHbLnTW
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0lub54v8F
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUosOI0uCIl
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKPUCiOYF1
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8gCerS4sR
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhfQVDH9Kd
"There will be no such 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFydWXVcyT
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj9F1sVqQ9
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3BgUbR6d5
"And you're making it 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuBl2nJ62Z
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30pIzXYCc5
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2IxLKwd4b
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH51mjsMelk
"Trust me, you don't 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5tXLGdryO
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5DuJYmhPM
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWeh56ayDp
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ceuBPqD2L
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUCqT2Rlxl
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3B0Amua2l
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57AIGXifUn
"Look, whether they are 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexF872iYeJ
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVaDnrcevU
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cIrj72sqK
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkubJArQ0lE
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY4X8gDML7
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71saP2FjaP
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrDcGVEC1f
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoLxBYQ54S
I gave Lee a sad smile 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EnoSUTVka
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlapbOKaNIv
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxgvu132aC
your life. Like suicide.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjNksTLIpN
We started our way 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDTXPrlUdo
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0dH0RAPcJ
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbngfuSwke
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMctBJNMqST
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMOxiePYpG
I quickly ran out of the1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iJAOSAGsE
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIOC4PyW4h
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY41OVUIUr9
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3TMoZifsw
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgBWkHSrdj
check for it inside.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt23omVvxl
When I got to the 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI0TLCpLcF
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD6XzCMbyF
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIvgT7OCqj
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ731V0FgRw0
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZtas0dnZu
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAfkrkNi7o
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlF6YCVjXm
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi0wUXElao
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71fXnjAOjT
"Seriously, I can sue 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Kydm7tKR
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUqWa8KAYf
fast. I never even heard him coming.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra12dOaPrE
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuMLQd25Yt
"You're not my bodyguard1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLiOAjiOgI
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pFIw7bvSe
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExP6zRdzz1
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQupqG1dawv
I blushed. "You know about that?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMByuOQptTW
"Everyone knows you have1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmqKsoDG43
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE0T5tzmtA
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxkpjBuPJv
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSggy0z5Yv
"Looks like I did the 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4K9dq7h1T
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGde3ceBaO1
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sr64sKCFS
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXGV5jKL8v
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCzlDRt28a
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xc41wBAVk
"And because you're a 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3v8ODKdNZ
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu3nJ0RKp7
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj5uQsbavv
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VjcxKSWyo
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm6yUX1Dgv
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT5eEw7eqU
"Can you at least tell 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnmVb6Zxpt
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4bvVyVwsK
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LrCoExCXH
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ox33HH4JR
"What dramatic effect?" 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauO402cMyL
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUdHE1ezeP
came closer. I took a warning step back.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgrtacXRuj
"If you hadn't followed 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0kEl2bAMC
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaug5LmdAf
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkzeiYL4eq
room."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXgWKH2HJL
"What surprise?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvjjUZkfRn
The elevator stopped and1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnz6Q35WLH
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwbnNM2FGR
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJKn9B0jzu
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlIdPHauDC
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBVS1tfJ3x
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2sl2Vg5Sj
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowRGyMv7fY
"I already have a guess," I said.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP23ZzZI4L
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHFvL0unYO
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8HKpeYoCp
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFpmnkbJoC
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2u3bIo99q
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODKyO82J38
When we reached the 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDUnP3UxZL
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtkTh9l8r2
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKve83QLRlg
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV78zdG2Rq
In the conference room 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlQIkaL1V2
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUumP2llP3
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEwWQAHLf5
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWy7IYF9Vt
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYqereFJG2
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhvMU5xllQ
though I did my best not to show it.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFE841S2bb
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpkhLyApQM
I looked to the opposite1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sW191PcBW
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKjeTqHXT9
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOOEBSgxN7
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBGE30ViJX
"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."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis32aLl22u
G-Dragon quickly turned 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NLUwGyzGX
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGtZvdP2Xs
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU1epv1atm
"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?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF35KM4HjB
"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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq8xSTlzEc
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4qNzscaPf
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydcarVy19A
"Wait," said Lisa who 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvOtqKZjGs
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjIcjHtfAx
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOPFvRJMCX
"It felt simple and 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUKchK9obR
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4VT8fjo5r
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtSC36wQJ3
with G-Dragon today."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtwKJEnBrt
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapm1aKM18z
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jI9HDc6ag
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2vw3BUury
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia4k57oIuo
"Ya, I know I'm a 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjTzXbCSHJ
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkDPjEjWMr
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRN2JcXR8o
"If you mean us getting 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqVlAZQvAE
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIqBSfxKXj
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMTj9zk9fO
by coincidence."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNRMkzt33T
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYgZIlsYHn
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLGgl1Qal9
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEEAyUKnf3
The rest of the BTW crew1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKhAMLu5lP
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEayd46M0r
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26rKWPbzSM
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyRFawyToE
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB580A5TER
"Hold up," said Zoey who1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpOqA5d2oq
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ADaPTILBE
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqIK2JUyte
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNW1e0IB0g
"Told you we'll 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN3RVBKbFF
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJK3ZQM256
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxH6xBhuQi
"But is he going to do 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16R516L89m
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWwudPjCRa
didn't really meet by coincidence."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaeU9pX6PZ
There was silence in the1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa0i768Lnq
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eaIKrKrtr
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYMLSWRwVv
planning to do.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGzcbVbNur
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH803Q8rIH
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoHdpnpRF4
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid0QhklaJ9
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfpuDgd9vx
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOEovoxk7e
"And also because he's 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NXU9VgMZU
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JJuRTLWOB
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29TfevrnTS
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCFXfSHB4h
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyGHBQcyA3
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNKVJ6tNLK
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXeWmA9NEC
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciqkjcBoqH
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zYUZrfl8M
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkInNFZ3fOd
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GksXPs7je
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEtcA2gvZT
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIynDZyLsJy
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssQ8uPwjZS
deal with G-Dragon instead.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt4RX6IEbu
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PSNEXziWV
"What do you want?" I asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQM97hSdQ1
G-Dragon looked at me as1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkWMYSQiAq
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfea4xLDFx
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eBB7GqpVO
came to any conclusions.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV2w7PLG2t
"To make things clear 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ241y1HxLb0
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEass1snAv
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQivYkE148
thinking about doing the same thing."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwPHz2wMrk
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86GIa06S5H
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxx5pCOfoa
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEXWlXkyQa
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGa4xSMMgA
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadG4yCG2gH
"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."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZMQWWCHBI
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHD0zBmRXy
"All's fair in love and 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE3r9EYZ1M
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP5LZ0ammj
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzQADSEfLM
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx77jmC7vWa
"Come on," Christine 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafpG5f5KMM
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjUQKFIuAk
won't be here for long and you know it."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfAqu24Fis
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwazgDHCNQ
"BTW is nothing but a 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBarJd3fZHy
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEHZcXNfCs
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfgEecws5j
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1VkMu4WhN
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s9Igf5LJX
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa59MxI5osJ
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95rJt6OCEw
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WyndYklLu
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRUxFPZahx
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifR5PYMMHF
"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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxrBAXFuqB
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKywTxjglia
Upon saying that, the 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9kMeqpcmE
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4Su6oF6FG
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdhrlZ1m8V
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2SxPzFoPc
seated stood up.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJRf2XcUl8
I gulped. I hope the 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVzi2ShpIl
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FsjHTl8AA
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGywv4WkvH
The two managers had 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8IyM0Qlwd
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq3G6lK6S7
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4VEre9P3r
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtajPTTH2oD
is wrong.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T0TTwPk1S
"Good that you're all 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMzZEtlMvu
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsgCgikTPs
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhI1MAGvQl
I have always hated it 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav9QRNxRr0
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn3YHuEjKU
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA1Z8DFFIa
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhlYeXuGN3
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ3gnQt38b
their seats.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk89dxeJoa
The two managers and Lee1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPluX4vSGBb
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCJzugNrS9
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNm7j3iB18
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFucCS8cVm
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u53p87Pbu
was.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcuUxwgPES
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe1wOfG69y
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInr1WlsrIu
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24EgcLNg7O
Zoey sighed loudly in 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnDVazcSQu
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSY3hQlOxk
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGmshsMCGy
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjWeMBAyhj
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2hJSS0Gwt
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfHDRslSj9
The two managers 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgXPylhQCl
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdWz8tL1OI
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYmI5rCmn9
That was so not cool.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynKvGeI5Ro
"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."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sXLeHk9qA
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSEMAcM6R1
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmMDecKJ1h
My ears perked up when 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a7wdZUsOT
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4kwSTcmCP
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68pqTpFRff
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMFNb9X8IO
"We heard you outside 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMay0vxnmu
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScW38CirHB
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDusUeTL0e
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy1WKQxS9j
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc4psVfmNC
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYTi7ySQ0R
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYS9nYH7c0
through further scrutiny about this decision."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8iVYB7upR
I smiled. Even if they 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRrYy73Azb
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBvl3h2WlE
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoEhraKKsd
There was an exciting 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisxABI2Pr8
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKKaEJtn1N
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNwY1duVYT
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo4jp95j3v
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMZHI0t3d8
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOmEWP3ZYp
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdLjsK6NJ0
I turned to my other 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYJecD6i6C
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6jPkppWgS
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHQZIiKdJB
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HZ3MDr21N
now, didn't matter.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIDfSw5fWK
"You heard them when 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpwGNK8ixW
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3nIwutnfM
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6gQS2j1tx
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrsPUF2xZA
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xj0ofjNoV
"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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qQiOPbCy1
This time it was me, or I1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDeeFTbtaY
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4NEXmlZzi
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7b9o5GR3v
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOBHTGpJDZ
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xvYcEnllj
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJrKYfXGYV
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6UYA6mXzL
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ohn06UX4
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWLfcF7vwR
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl7wbabQLW
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQc2H6FFFj
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9hNUFlWRu
"We all agree," said Daniel.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b5L47GAYe
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75svyyO1ay
"But just because it 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbxVQKYMA6
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcLLLxDJ8B
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7FC9AZvOm
"Okay, so that's settled1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTau9fhXQP0
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAjCm4G0ZD
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKdKRH31kE
BTW official."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXEX2MAQxa
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3ZA0TErA6
I noticed that most of 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm75K8zTZbZ
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmaUiJv3zB
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiUGvwHLI1
when she looked at me and I grinned.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz35nCMy2Tb
"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."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUWrWub8Kl
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jX8Hwoqp9
"Before we make BTW 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp4KdfVO2Q
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6W98Jmn5J
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmC7bmbhWb
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY53hJMYY1
low for a while. Is that good?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFpw4kP4JS
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nadG38I9Z
"That's fair enough," 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJntCyylC5g
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFrWjowk7D
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzssV0XX2CS
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVgxeaQqis
so."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhI7a2J6pZ
"So you want to crush 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcT6C7t98y
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2bEFE3lWq
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL6cJwELRN
strategy."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36awxXeBjh
"Then if all is well and1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnbUxNA2XP
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvYdVnm309
updated and not a word on social media."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCQ28WWT6A
I stood up from my seat 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKxHtLXTBY
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGoTBbVTLG
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lH47fMDx7
walk out, I stopped them.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm15AZECMl
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ANmD2O8H
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHWJZE7DlQ
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvKbNaJQaD
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe87otcauJH
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtksKaZyUct
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzBU5DbGBk
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhScyiv6Oho
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRHuTlGjnQ
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhquIdaV7fv
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI99THLREjG
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6IpROSiLR
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs531JbjRj
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsBhQQDVrp
"This is like the best 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrSso0PD9v
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFwMDvJ5ge
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdbnHsxYCH
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5nAkDwTSK
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yG7t51pbk
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu30qldZFa
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7xlu9iDg0
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtAdjjk6xP
"I knew there was a 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY7NOc1Gf6
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXVHkFPYU4
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvgguFD86V
G-Dragon.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI2mF5WlxJ
"You knew?" Christine asked.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CFG0Wsb3a
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXawJYTZvf
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQOTVcWlPi
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn2Z63xLRb
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK3f9F3ADh
"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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ425hb5VPHP
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB72zmqGw85
"Well, you guys can tell1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9kqS9Tsdn
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdZkmJ9elU
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ts3IYrg7q
aren't going to go into the same car."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nGuoZzB5R
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqzZJaPTT9
Everyone else started to1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJwq9mUCn8
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfVoKBiJ7r
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzcHYCBfSF
only G-Dragon and I.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26vGD54WV6
"I'm mad at you," I started.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxqCml5ZzM
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnQGN6JIpQ
"Save it." I held my 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDzjgX2QIp
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSlNk0y2eJ
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYN6aIXQRI
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfPqvXiedY
a war again."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUgZQ2FnLa
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFveimR7P7
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaZ9VTkM3t
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu8ZfaOhkm
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsZzXVZgRs
G-Dragon looked at me 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXqNjT9CzX
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHtaK5y5uv
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOVwq1FfjI
stab in the heart.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAj7jE6YtZ
"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."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNLG1SiFQG
"You know, the others 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeSIKruZwX
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftt08NqOfC
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3deighZCsJ
with WINNER yesterday."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9WPJutGXY
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEqxTrNVKf
I nodded my head. What I1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirlcGFODYs
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRHs2HcaSA
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMlwQq1L19
of Seunghoon and I.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR5w0FyPhx
"You know you and I can 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq5ABAvSuJ
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNw8cs5fsC
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUoKpgwJE8
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKJuVfUs1Z
down the rocks."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc2aBVPV2b
I headed for the door 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkrFrckvUO
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplOK6RZldx
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzBbloEg9Z
Zoey, waiting.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIaLOMmbIr
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuvwta4kMR
"I sure hope so," I said1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD1ptXaafI
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTL9YTRbeI
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nam3nGO7q
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HLE0OluBJ
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOyo0GVXYD
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZvQiiBgpC
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLavVrvj6k
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMESZ1aXtIh
"You know computers are 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCPZ2Oa4nK
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtnRVRGJId
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjWFJss1Xq
supposed to."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC60Zj2BLC
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8GKjLDBcv
I smiled. "You always call me that."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXznpHtKnsX
"Ya, because you're smart too."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fkYBvdWvl
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF2oTSYK2o
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZkks3qRk6
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgC7BH9zww
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbrRvess4O
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4HH9wKrqZ
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
