Hanging out at Times 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1iLh1pCDF
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZIZQBFldP
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0XnelRoHc
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfzQcP2T3l
But that didn't matter. 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dmkhlwt0q
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZEUeExgow
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFWCn67cZ6
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bRI9r9GAc
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3zCDXXR8e
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXSvtyGALu
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGWp515IIq
actually played around with the adorable kids.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SaGhv3NBa
There were plenty of 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNemCK1Yzv
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFpcsHRYaM
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYnnLZGjEA
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxmq3Zd1so
fans too.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4cs6c50Yo
The time we were done 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AXj1wZknS
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVu3emU4Fw
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVy5QGA9U2
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRuU7rhCnP
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVQgIk89ES
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFKqlMtbrx
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N4OQ5y61y
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaigv5ZIIG
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBFUo2iWZA
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXVXejnKVE
previous day, of course.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OOTzxIM80
As much as the managers 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNph79gLIr
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HJpPslW6s
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelmPqZJaHN
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92X6Y8cROg
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAvhY0qzXD
Right now, this very 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y6xD4MaFx
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA07R3F3VD
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MFt7MnD8d
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAxgXzGfku
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmyXjNupxW
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWMHeZAP2Z
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CBYv17VVd
and I just couldn't take it.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1kvdGhHBb
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLexCQYJaV
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUBchUT6LR
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YDJTGZHm1
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFZoUbgjqz
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO1RAIEnn0
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14FguhOoqv
"I thought you said your plan would work."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP63qivVEQ
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjlL5Ko06d
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IulvAJL1R
I felt like slapping my 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSknjyThjND
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiF6QFloiV
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiRO0He3Ym
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflQ6mU9KX9
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yvqfSL9mL
off.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVeUDHIobe
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNELKSbo04M
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ENQDVJWB
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MDUTwQQuF
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWd9CfLKQu
I shrugged. She read my 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFv03HTcg1
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdqIaOLlns
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSibBbPGAuM
me the whole time."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZLVxuRlSQ
I sat down on my bed as 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJMCdhBy67
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn93DmtYVEi
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jfQcFCjy5
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWrcVBsT6O
"Gosh, you really should1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHRjvtntYK
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf92LgFyQY
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdwpQp30NC
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtrfbRKWc4
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2HcroxSS1
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Br1q0ytd0
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho1hv2zzle
"Mike is annoying 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdDCNBoSWD
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qD592YaC5
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JJY3UvCtS
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat5m3wJeZu
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCEiV3254B
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUtlWNTaxV
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf3djJE35U
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pw6FtLgye
"Sorry, but just so you 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZlZuMYyk5
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9OehVpWFD
that pic of you and him together."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOUZOuMlPq
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2nnb10DEb
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9GEUfN1YW
I blushed and at the 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuPYcNEAZ3
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiduuY1VXI
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdbltTBMYH
other hidden agenda.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mJYhtNGeb
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl4O3UIlLa
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhtFOLU17q
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYucwsMZUt
I sighed in surrender. 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9sLuFpMow
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqtcOWdORv
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxebWGYchKa
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkvZ9i9kw6
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."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz06K1JKjhO
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIfhigguZ3
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1vL3UrvqC
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpmfARpgdg
Zoey had an excited look1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xfT1Xxkcv
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlkx6OPjLY
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OvebFd8Ht
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sMBXl7fQs
clearly show all over her face.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr2HKi2RUh
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvwRaFJEtd
I shook my head. "And?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOioaYvUhj2
Zoey folded her arms, 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYceuvg9ok
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRK9Jol07l
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzapc1xMNYq
"Hold that thought. This1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohl022ROA7
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAofRsK4FiS
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9sMOORo4v
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpgbtvy75Q
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoXwgSKzeY
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA0bFHjh2L
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF3NV0LhH2
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfKabD144u
"Well, he hid in our closet."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZYxN3wvls
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWvbm3evNA
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q5lfWADiY
"Ya, why?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbiGRnRqQ2
"Looks like we just 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGkYhOg4pS
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtvVqbrNTV
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnHIaIRcou
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."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZxc6Buh8G
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIiGhzxvct
"What do you mean? You 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDkvUwB9Ft
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uB8Jxq3rn
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Jzq2JiJu
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ASpYnYxNv
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQefbza9c1
"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."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqc39TCDXu
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12K1EGMSf1
"I wanted to but I kept 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCrKYsCJ9l
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uVdDAfnyE
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnfaZjTzvl
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD0l8ji2fQ
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZvHGvI0qg
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB8s6kMczv
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpGsrmKHDL
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILZyXZNeHG
I quickly stood up and 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sbdb4c938
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdkMf59EO9
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerGyjtTIrF
her back.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFej83FMje
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7zzbtl4uB
"Zoey, you're going to 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeFckk7se9
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UZNRlYK1T
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfccnpvk4GG
own hair pink in the next ten years."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiyMBjmXKT
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakS7S9eXoS
"You're lying."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzyQtM7d6K
"I'm telling the truth!"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiWMt3lVSd
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mtG6mRN1m
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5rcnAw5Hg
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxIvNCgotE
"I can't tell you that."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTseOErqP3H
"Why?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SwX4Zznpv
"Because it's 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHABK5KKvd
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9pYRXUy2F
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJabs6NJ8J
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCdeYfToY5
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0rVxJ9zea
"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."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwffGsj5B1U
"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.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAREc83e9wQ
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpQp4IoHX5
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfQeDio4AG
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyM6Bth9nJ
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvXw1jEQkv
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSEsdMwOOv
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV04Rq9BkKa
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqtB0BDOcR
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX3KEMbYQD
I playfully rolled my 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ969DgmQm6c
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXskgtbyHJ
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO8HaOcnus
also looked worried.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgBTr7v72t
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2ctyWcGdq
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCfSYVhuzc
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24TDF7VJCw
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiMkcUee4k
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgPYmj2nSf
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhb6wvNUlN
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EWZEcDHqa
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvcIlcqSR1
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr1W8oenHg
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QPClpgvaG
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5lxaBrZbC
"Okay, first of all," 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS31jexApm
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVfEwmEZP6
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgSAx4ooSy
he wasn't mad at you."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZrwWvHd5V
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gBHqTty5C
"That, he couldn't say."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7aBQYdzkW
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYuN7PT3Xh
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNubxT5TyU
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPRQTNhiiA
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceQuMfx1m9
Christine pressed the 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM11PCXp2y
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUpSD5DzZR
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCezKS9uXe
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WJvZiFTLY
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53xK5EOm2v
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbamAKzVZq
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsA1bWnj0n
We got to YG right on 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwNFq9JI2F
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyVaEMhDwu
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TaWTgR6fN
arrived a few seconds earlier.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzvf2WY2MA
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVem32Ti2bq
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI07bLG7kIw
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPMNuk7UP7
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPxh4Lsnth
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHN9voA5bP
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsqeT5F0LS
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEVcxJevKW
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKSddlWFtw
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPiDw5bfVc
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMuyEycia6
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5mf1WtUdP
"There will be no such 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtjeesV47V
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDTMPqRMQ0
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L1aPH9uG2
"And you're making it 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gxu4WIry8
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9YLISvj65
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz5NcBoOZU
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl4F4fSvjO
"Trust me, you don't 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPMOvMys5J
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOpItCGxus
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZYkjxRWyr
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSsD8uKmKE
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9g5ekSCtl
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBwvNjLEtk
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjiPX7288f
"Look, whether they are 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvop4A7r7vy
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ewK1lHX9l
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vxwYwbsbH
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckSXkubDO7
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufTp6bqnGf
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt5D4f8ML8
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZXW49Csam
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIVTOOUVXG
I gave Lee a sad smile 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TsfcQRlQ3
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLlCwbXEqI
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnGSj4Y5yU
your life. Like suicide.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnDaPP5LdO
We started our way 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfFUGkUx9v
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK0W4vWnzF
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk1ugiFVOp
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pZZxAHRVx
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5jOlNVgHt
I quickly ran out of the1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZAcHkv7KG
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKixxjf9CEx
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1DHIkFEPn
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuPQz5wSKB
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLQNtQIwzZ
check for it inside.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaywRIYOpY
When I got to the 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhd6pkWasI
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUGTE28cZ2
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH70zTE0NI
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXH7NraLNK
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnbUs9ZvRl
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9V6KTqh6z
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxloDTugTFD
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPJnJfIgvY
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgHkCDLAgu
"Seriously, I can sue 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu7ceDuRlO
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwEHUp63zj
fast. I never even heard him coming.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71tWswBOz9
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oHI2rQYBl
"You're not my bodyguard1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISWqnL2EVt
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGeJRckcI3
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpoqFtA8GO
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5esCn2nW4
I blushed. "You know about that?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ouKVFcA1b
"Everyone knows you have1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI8VWM20uk
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL8tPAOk71
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nRVdJhQCb
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3nuBEC0Ho
"Looks like I did the 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5MWfylThw
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh9azD6Kj2
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNWn7uYGgm
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbhCCPiwSS
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOmgnJOuGJ
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoD9n5w3Lx
"And because you're a 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkXy1z03SZ
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsU6XOCHiU
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ga1EnIyJJ
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmBcLvdGTw
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z8BAStrBL
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P1K1cSdsa
"Can you at least tell 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC1cDDobMD
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbPw5iD3S3
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5MXLfH0sB
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuZTK7eb05
"What dramatic effect?" 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQtUg5BISS
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa0cf2PNaM
came closer. I took a warning step back.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RVRJGe5Zp
"If you hadn't followed 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFpP9nR44Q
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cW2dL2hSB
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPSBN24FLi
room."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdXywpjgGT
"What surprise?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrReosZf81
The elevator stopped and1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEAKFXuFSV
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoctEjC4Xp
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94qD6UqfQg
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ3xcggn7a
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSpk0w8bpX
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIeDZ1ZVCI
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcTinB2KB5
"I already have a guess," I said.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkHliY3vCb
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTXRxfocuz
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7jtaP2r9e
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q5ooMav9H
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6DfpuKAeH
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrq31SHnvD
When we reached the 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMgkFTcRtm
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw4kgNRa9B
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFhXBbi3F6
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynSXaYUZY6
In the conference room 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVfnx1DyR8
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCm1r27f4d
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ2LgUu1Nk
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nf2pKboXB
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDLQBImKKV
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCA2cc2crN
though I did my best not to show it.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHVl9VNutz
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrKZsaRzKp
I looked to the opposite1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghCQkL2jyb
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPtm4hKEae
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY2EFswCDC
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGrEKg1y4t
"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."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dPyXX4WJy
G-Dragon quickly turned 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUqKaKL11X
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIOhsa2ksw
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKkbyDsB0b
"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?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNIrrqbNSM
"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.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjHPAMWT4B
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcmYOdje7L
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VdIa4erq3
"Wait," said Lisa who 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFlSpGQNea
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8BlKrz9o0
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz5tg2edll
"It felt simple and 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc70wpKphSd
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcISHc8E2JB
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hJHVplZYk
with G-Dragon today."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iKMaiDsUJ
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ2q5Saq9u
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC1fDg0MNe
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T9Z9YDwth
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbluJnYd56L
"Ya, I know I'm a 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohRzdF4RUc
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdVtfn0OKR
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlirvfzyhyi
"If you mean us getting 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpnfNX53sp
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WxtxRRGcZ
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM36NKsfq3O
by coincidence."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ZMwTfth9
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP27bXupw9
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq3ATMAPFp
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTKgNX0zYX
The rest of the BTW crew1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGixdjH7s7P
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDcFQFquts
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAT3FDBtRZ
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmFc6FeE7V
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYCI6SJ1xy
"Hold up," said Zoey who1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk25lJ1TaYa
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER6sMGeq0a
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSOe9ygzUr
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpMPpXf3Or
"Told you we'll 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUAT9V1OHh
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkdR4Ze4cQ
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNxab4HGsb
"But is he going to do 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSqxqkzqBu
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGXrXD4N9t
didn't really meet by coincidence."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiUXLTzLmU
There was silence in the1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHI9hJkeOX
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUcZpuvkYD
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSjYD3VlXy
planning to do.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1g2amMVug
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2wI5ZGdaH
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtQsArBpx3
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw9uPAy2l1
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyQalvGsJ1
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9h1ip4d81
"And also because he's 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAlrYzX84U
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52Fl1QIrgb
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZhaxQGPiD
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkAVa4w16d
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWw5xNQVi3
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rjPFD2mbF
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemuUaUiwDM
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mAAQLi36n
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEOV29tlSg
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAVWfxbe4k
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSJ7qu1Np5
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEca0Ax5eAQ
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwfJe3kcp9
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX7KDHGUrf
deal with G-Dragon instead.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6iZFdV1SX
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN92nOEgOuR
"What do you want?" I asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRH1PISRLZ
G-Dragon looked at me as1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyzXChAFjL
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfMcxmez7Y
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHr6WiOZmC
came to any conclusions.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjlStR9xmw
"To make things clear 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAwgOON19C
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalriRX22rZ
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB30VHpQKcB
thinking about doing the same thing."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBjvI3URJM
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDktg3fjeNX
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTqI13DAtm
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLj2DQgIit
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGvENqWBCO
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7tg0VVuc9
"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."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso8PF800M0
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJp3tcR75M
"All's fair in love and 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlHjLnBm5e
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB4u8or0O4
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m3kEA16Bw
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSMymVYZW8
"Come on," Christine 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm9IxegXXy
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZnMD9WKhk
won't be here for long and you know it."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHlMX6TO1N
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf8Wsc0iSk
"BTW is nothing but a 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDx8IB0gPo
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuXF8iNeRC
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAUsXDT16r
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmF8umJc3G
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtEL6xVEsr
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaK2wnvyZC
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpLAC0Tadg
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ueI2eCSFT
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARyx6FeKZC
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4nIP6YjPv
"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.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGpeUEiFR2
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoApWRb3p0
Upon saying that, the 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUGdigq0H7
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmXuigMGAN
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUgwxfmoQm
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm8KiIqrRb
seated stood up.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3MjAC8Pov
I gulped. I hope the 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXbBiKXz1t
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ9DSIal9k
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSd68PH0eq
The two managers had 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pu9AzMARn
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63H3QrUgsJ
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjem3Koq1M9
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ3nGGdJ0z
is wrong.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRsggL32BG
"Good that you're all 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT6aff1cET
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF1zWbI1G5
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJilh0JbD18
I have always hated it 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF3TrgoC8l
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3osRt3OD3O
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeD3Qf6KsR
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kdvT56Evq
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIZaqqoLc9
their seats.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Yak9wmHo
The two managers and Lee1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wzsW0DCtj
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdb1xIkMxB
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAy3nkusUq
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgk0HVuOf2
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAarFYXNIG
was.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC15jUUVlf
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxh0uY7ssm
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI9Q2Flryc
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxCmT4iLTM
Zoey sighed loudly in 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucx9XoDYms
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv3jU8L4f4
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkxiarfk4X
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3i42juVbC
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNEEP6bzp2
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9f0k3dv57
The two managers 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YKi9PZ7uc
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLLgTnSrnb
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tZY2PVbS5
That was so not cool.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Lt56LmAw
"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."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJzLQgs1g5
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9aeyNbQ12
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk5wUorRYA
My ears perked up when 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjSKrb5GSL
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMiJxg4Xy0
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD8pMxbRci
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzgnCppyRz
"We heard you outside 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2ryCibmJt
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPb2dUGnV5
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58PsifaQ61
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyeoq2QF7y
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWvOMX0qg5
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm8nNTYJ6u
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w9kLjK6aC
through further scrutiny about this decision."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vy817sx0D
I smiled. Even if they 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wcOg7isz0
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAVbxlo4be
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BIiOuXPsq
There was an exciting 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt84TdJFOl
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZfqftqwoo
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuxYXZ7Ltq
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TW20oFRy0
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHEMbpGa3x
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3ugNAn74L
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheQ71xetBW
I turned to my other 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz8Pmhn33s
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqejTeW5x7q
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYcbbFbBfi
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI7GCXEMGe
now, didn't matter.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpohmeMNQ8X
"You heard them when 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZoSFYQrFa
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEPK9QSEKG
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosgRl0StjQ
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXj3bI5KqE
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwKMGywmlZ
"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.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanWqOgYpFL
This time it was me, or I1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbtFRSKUjt
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlCYcTiv13
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uq4CAbV6v
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarSlzZYfu6
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFIC9dgEE1
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusyL7qho4G
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnAYTikwXa
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5LDcO4ydM
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd54X3FcRl
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WK2VPe9V8
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekLfDAPIg2
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWgeQTcKDD
"We all agree," said Daniel.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwn3qO5AQw
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhjy9P6t2Z
"But just because it 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrLe3nuGer
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSmfSTJDEC
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39GD0m4BIH
"Okay, so that's settled1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbicxvvKo4
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKwgEsIEnr
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz62ZGQzcBx
BTW official."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw0HlwOQcC
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaX3ogvhy3
I noticed that most of 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPx2mvVt7o
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqTfXvPIvJ
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L52CVOG6A
when she looked at me and I grinned.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStydAvsTpQ
"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."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv5x4kD4Vz
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmmGJjQaUN
"Before we make BTW 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0hcVA1BGH
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrppK2izV3
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE5WL6gBtz
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25yJXFkY96
low for a while. Is that good?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJrcslWDC9
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIivadOMjrK
"That's fair enough," 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1UUPt9Ydv
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrmHQ1zfjT
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTwM6jiFte
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5XzRNULTr
so."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeQddlJ93U
"So you want to crush 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh97zMNUkJw
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r7oTifeO2
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB3IOgw7Kz
strategy."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbZy36r8Cw
"Then if all is well and1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPoGxuZqbP
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA1csGHBjf
updated and not a word on social media."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtQd6tgBAz
I stood up from my seat 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzV9XYt4la
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZGLi5OatQ
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsdkdyBurc
walk out, I stopped them.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzZw5O6wHs
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkL4pcryRZ
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm0DsWMG2k
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf38UlHyIDH
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN7UVpUDiW
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID4kmLamSr
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymoaOl5w6B
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmicxFOFfW
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgavbaQCLk
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ytNfzuBhX
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmhGBA83R4
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTV3vGUMip
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxmLATvU0A
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY8knuuB4a
"This is like the best 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpkbARqm39
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHJq7RlHpD
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1ZEH8nufr
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QevomeDHD
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p0NUTJQ7q
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMnVrfVwpL
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3SqVBPyZv
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixDheEiK9A
"I knew there was a 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpihHiknTHC
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNEBZKo439
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafR5jOjqrQ
G-Dragon.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHbSKFXkwz
"You knew?" Christine asked.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNi5PfGo1y
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTQ7AcO4vQ
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8a6dNnhQx
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrViM4eVGo
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDkCpUOZ0l
"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.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp5Y3fEnmF
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWGO4Syo4A
"Well, you guys can tell1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m5FVyhYRD
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtCR87cbQu
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vSBYHKKZT
aren't going to go into the same car."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbipqJtDEl
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVitsfvF15Y
Everyone else started to1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTcux72M1M
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLzVymtMZ7
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYi8RtER99
only G-Dragon and I.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIDS72qTz8
"I'm mad at you," I started.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjEPEUxpKv
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA3YTovrx1
"Save it." I held my 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5XjL81mEb
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhik39hR1k9
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNdj705hmB
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfoVwYvlVB
a war again."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7koOvxclQ
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPnt1Jo7yQ
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxdmwi1ipe
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRLMzTZUg4
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxzSZmU0oy
G-Dragon looked at me 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHLUI73ly2
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkXuurWac4
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5oIE9IZrO
stab in the heart.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXhovqb7yv
"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."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCAomUaVR0
"You know, the others 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIyA1IZz1H
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS58Pv2fGo
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKCwbOLaBi
with WINNER yesterday."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxfOSWf6lF
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryJZ4mkShj
I nodded my head. What I1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN7eOm8BKs
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ455EthhB1c
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP9BG3Vc7N
of Seunghoon and I.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUPhXNbVzp
"You know you and I can 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2EtQk1iSi
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBGIPHfrgE
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb0EUQOsSu
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSreka6tmJZ
down the rocks."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nBZg79WzP
I headed for the door 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqYCwccvT0
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJbQUa50xM
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT0HcSCSIj
Zoey, waiting.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHRo8xC5Rj
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ytEmStBj
"I sure hope so," I said1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1CX6FhLi4
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQpXW59XB1
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo2zX33zab
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkZ8wdFoJq
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOPmgGYECF
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbK1P1QFnq
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDQ4lplbmV
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNq2sVZlqR
"You know computers are 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAyjqzRGzd
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfxBSM6sEl
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHopHd9aVs0
supposed to."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzNM7C0FjL
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RGoVUrppA
I smiled. "You always call me that."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0ftTAxWDY
"Ya, because you're smart too."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveG3wcwZNw
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWDU0uxvKZ
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaU8H3cXQy
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dvoeTAzNU
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nQHmheioS
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1019Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK4fY7KQSe
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
