Hanging out at Times 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gv5WC93lB
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaD3Gxct9U
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMsVjEd3SL
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMmpV4DVFj
But that didn't matter. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHFi5CNiOd
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2ZJas7bh3
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWaroslI7b
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgengExNez
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoqVmxFrFz
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQEatR9YGO
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3cDbW2Dzl
actually played around with the adorable kids.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIFJy5jCan
There were plenty of 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvUPmHfqS1
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHLvTErrMa
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9VjjE0hUh
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTVd21a7HF
fans too.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScnz6psqiR
The time we were done 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LSrfuakWr
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1fO2XTEjw
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJiRXYgq7u
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIEqFEKc3x
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBnfHVYcSO
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFdnMmsob2
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8LQXDAJtG
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnEEm387pR
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kTY9hFKQb
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5uNHTFW8g
previous day, of course.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92v0oqpv5W
As much as the managers 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11300EdDGF
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJZ3GEnWmp
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML9xpYVW06
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsz4XkfAb4
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq0hPK9JLY
Right now, this very 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDmjK5WusU
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitdfQ7fUOH
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpLniysNZs
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGmtQ3GzLB
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11rqnxKD8N
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT5Unlwpzr
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCQGCJiDIO
and I just couldn't take it.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdDwi6uoQ8
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz2q4YDX09
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpI6AC06mL
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZCokVfcTI
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKvPLtUEJo
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7mp2PKlFO
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt40uMS2ruh
"I thought you said your plan would work."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEv6p1nBSF
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8VqmPf7e5
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57mPAo3ecn
I felt like slapping my 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIGyPIDqeO
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXyZIA7gwu
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5BdjhJrGS
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoSyVUZQqU
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtCP6Osy9D
off.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRNVFvRPgY
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QSi9iubJY
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7cq3l6WpN
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06xc8vUcAX
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMRbUbUoxb
I shrugged. She read my 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxxq30o1qS
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFhWo86B77
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETeT3n5kfe
me the whole time."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbnhAZNmjH
I sat down on my bed as 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SBR6ol9Kp
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi3oDLIpNS
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvYfNTZ3WL
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptOGqXPBEW
"Gosh, you really should994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEANVc1h0H
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu08BTFo3EO
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpU738aygY
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6mxHrEKuA
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfnv3N8DHB
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tgYEM3ocE
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJesjyt9MxX
"Mike is annoying 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQLQci8dS2
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uxgrV5du0
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPaMGT0iWA
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xuRrSQzOI
"You're right. I should burn him instead."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEc6C65kD4
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxxU0K5eBC
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOerYsKZia
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEeDJfb7JR
"Sorry, but just so you 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLq2DTJFKx
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRSwnV5l7V
that pic of you and him together."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88i9BxNIM5
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXrVBA6VMM
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPJH3MEFq0
I blushed and at the 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROdkfjTsmr
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCDuCvAtBL
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqSHS06KGU
other hidden agenda.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qTuOKD6hd
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACbjCsvqfl
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5ABJs5iSk
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHJ7bM2Lbg
I sighed in surrender. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOiWBVrA6n
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZMy95txkJ
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD21WPtETry
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCnibkDKFp
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."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo5O0MSal2
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYFWUDn2YM
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzCs0lxqGQ
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipiDDlNbiI
Zoey had an excited look994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpLDgZliSF
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgSEPYysjT
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Jd899aDZ
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC46tIWRm7u
clearly show all over her face.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFealmYYmqB
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI59OF6uSx
I shook my head. "And?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5MuzxXUd8
Zoey folded her arms, 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dzIYDo6nw
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWOVLW2fs0
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUa2XfWDvt
"Hold that thought. This994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfztmxTzHGj
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRi2QSMe6K
after Seunghoon posted that picture."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cUiyOipRN
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf280mYTJuy
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvhuYWemU3
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94t3vMtRvS
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPtooES2bu
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjEtFnCOuY
"Well, he hid in our closet."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxDm3sJidw
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DppQE4CGh
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aDavqrmZJ
"Ya, why?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4UusLycW3
"Looks like we just 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uQS1g4lVQ
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpRXnJ2aeH
whom we consider perfect as our bias."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxxAqmu76t
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."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutKQQNAeDM
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYmgQWvKXG
"What do you mean? You 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56wchNgHFh
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QbHxOac9E
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmKAjy3DGw
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJPofySPun
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88WyRUxpRb
"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."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUbnKjdpNI
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe3mPV83N4
"I wanted to but I kept 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh4O7ct0qY
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCev0OlZqKi
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmFV8RROg8
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MNoWDSKmc
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3FU8NaYl3
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxYZuVjkmZ
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe3M9TOUeG
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXECOQBfCP
I quickly stood up and 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO4Ozuhq7d
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2SEF72YsW
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcoNmqdBmh
her back.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCexHn1AUv
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1SqsV7NrA
"Zoey, you're going to 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvco7PP3vFT
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G6bZTnhzY
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuGH35fAv9
own hair pink in the next ten years."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OHvq1FKEZ
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLTYY70F60
"You're lying."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB0QK0Xszu
"I'm telling the truth!"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQRyzxPEWw
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h0aSzwboL
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6r0aufrOI
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThgtnXaaaR
"I can't tell you that."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITszfGOI8A
"Why?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBViPsBf89S
"Because it's 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqAfejuhWj
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX94lrtJRUi
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkUkbkxntm
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RAWHvTePP
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwvaOgMmK2
"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."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5hOtZXTsO
"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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ammT4ixVE
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraURL1hyGa
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLOCsoKgmi
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN7UfIJEiL
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9JoJKkC5w
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVBUAsJsOl
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO1syXpfPF
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbLJyMfBab
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QhSguowrW
I playfully rolled my 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzXwRVxnyC
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn1J7AXpiT
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOuzxiHm0I
also looked worried.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpJ8R5cwpB
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaTiROsYyS
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW066bdhx0A
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbyjPvH5OW
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDonSZlWxWe
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfC0ELLlti
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNvEH757jb
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm10HhpiyNv
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWaTYkvSMv
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q6oGx92lN
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oGCMMcDxg
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYoDv3cRtk
"Okay, first of all," 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GGPnB4rzg
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwSOiTPDbs
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMA1Dnhfn8
he wasn't mad at you."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa6AYhrcpv
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfYwSEiYaY
"That, he couldn't say."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfl0o7e3O9
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyMKvGdCAg
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tEa5NTEoh
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMuu00G3mU
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrov8WSjx15
Christine pressed the 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LtZ7DTPax
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj7NSrxfd7
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3kZJ5cBJt
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuD9425aoj
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclPAfBoIGX
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GKvvIakL4
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm5705A08A
We got to YG right on 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLSdlThQ76
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIdBtvDCwM
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dGJ15AzBK
arrived a few seconds earlier.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp7E0PFdMB
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lbBi07y6I
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll1e2nf5NS
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pmJfa8hnT
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdqDYIMwcm
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S08cO3fvq
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Jt22L0mw
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCT1tyTaam
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWXjBHYX3U
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte2aGv6f05
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyQCcs2T3m
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPUV6eAM7n
"There will be no such 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73CQWbOER1
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30h98dA9oj
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWOohmtC4w
"And you're making it 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ8XUrp1Hd
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOLDVOXQ6H
pouted his lip and scratched his head.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ5cjDkSJd
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheCs33xzsy
"Trust me, you don't 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmklmkCgskj
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvuXi2bIiz
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcxHX2GEz7
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gsIEio2Fb
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfUzdZNh61
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq1qSc4PSF
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZzgB60nsg
"Look, whether they are 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZJWNYChNR
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR14p9wvQuD
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmmB2z3PcV
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsIAncVOyP
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WlQeJHGOY
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqT1doz7wY
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa56U2Zo4QK
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nyIU8u4Zb
I gave Lee a sad smile 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WEoCASCPq
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVXLYLrzhB
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXys9heHGG7
your life. Like suicide.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXPGuPZDWX
We started our way 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBCpW18QfT
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplpkLNTpYF
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ip5GzJJov
and my jean trousers. Nothing.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojLGEGgWvS
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYve1OPAiq
I quickly ran out of the994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITijqgwc4e
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7YPhDE1Td
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmwQBnRh5C
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Vmz84Orl
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzFEi4DL2V
check for it inside.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a3m9mJt9j
When I got to the 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS2DRmqH0k
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZvZbzcheY
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2hyBUBkog
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIsGrm8zO9
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzNWxWd0Oy
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b4lYJ6wYu
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbfaTTRm5x
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWttgD1t27o
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAGP7S2UB0
"Seriously, I can sue 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF59zfnqYRb
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4kHNpPbca
fast. I never even heard him coming.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wROQRgmtG
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7iXZKwHry
"You're not my bodyguard994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc3XKSz6Uc
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnavLJOMq4
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWILOLWj5Q
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsiRVXBhsW
I blushed. "You know about that?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRpiBsaETq
"Everyone knows you have994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Shb10I9z
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUFLRtjOc6
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOpii2l7pu
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3XIY770Bl
"Looks like I did the 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqglDglKY6q
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlne3L3yLtW
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEMmnUG4pG
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH4ZVWZk6g
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFoHqbGWEp
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqi1T6wyYn
"And because you're a 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb2uLb644j
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XM1bUhJF1
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pb2T4wvxU
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxS9jsRPRl
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQw9qREcyj
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjoTM8HAe0
"Can you at least tell 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDKU8EQHRh
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDrsECljN6
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWn01Rd0kM
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBn4zneN60
"What dramatic effect?" 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz1pPJaeOp
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYF2IlGWXK
came closer. I took a warning step back.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkVFbIAZHU
"If you hadn't followed 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFV77bfqlo
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlycDHExp5j
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoUuO9n3w3
room."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNwSDzIuhw
"What surprise?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC1b9fC1XJ
The elevator stopped and994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux9c4bQL0D
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcxTVPKByb
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWYoyUYkRp
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLLt81SnNN
Seunghoon and I stepped out.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtKUGJ9iUH
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R7W5lyE5b
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt84ewXKlvF
"I already have a guess," I said.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfiwV7iSsI
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGvhOKYmQZ
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuSipTzsKV
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG3GFOrqY3
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltqojKSL3p
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2xqgTDxOs
When we reached the 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkowFWq2oxe
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXlDSKI7dp
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2BKoObD38
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDCCUNAbyD
In the conference room 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuOmyfOQEM
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSfQJiba1T
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnhgSq8rbq
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkX7AJ5sdL
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD9StskIit
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4qcmQcSPB
though I did my best not to show it.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEJbIjilIy
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj5b9nJji6
I looked to the opposite994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPHw3QSSNC
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIQc0F7J1N
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQWxQaTW7h
turned their backs to us facing the wall.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqSHQzuUb5
"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."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSJ9G9Aa7r
G-Dragon quickly turned 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogcj8j82uF
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUhdLyZb7V
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7VWUlRCuD
"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?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcWfjx7lu7
"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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRoFlxfP2C
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR4qU6LZYu
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAvji01knb
"Wait," said Lisa who 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwdgIrhAyB
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CN7KLqK8w
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOegZj0TR5
"It felt simple and 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiqeMej3zW
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFHOtCONt2
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAJlDjv6gL
with G-Dragon today."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXn7v45SQi
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB9MdBFdT6
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlHSC7mDXI
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfjbZMTS8Z
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhibanye6Iv
"Ya, I know I'm a 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SDejnqDBd
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qvusNFqhA
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcFoiFspAA
"If you mean us getting 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6RIcsTlK7
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyvPDeNMvq
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqHSenbvoE
by coincidence."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJhqA17FlP
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXq2XD6pug
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uucoeTqaF
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AFqDZfOsH
The rest of the BTW crew994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RZr2P2YdH
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3xm668OGZ
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucJOXJYOBi
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yq4CnNubS
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjseV2VV0k
"Hold up," said Zoey who994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVdkSnUA2a
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlwnNHfxmW
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMqFRT8ino
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicSYOfIaNx
"Told you we'll 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUkEM5oFTA
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtUN63QsAo
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXHN90ToSb
"But is he going to do 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld05ILvY4j
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbNxuoD4j4
didn't really meet by coincidence."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyunWUn0Ju
There was silence in the994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzBYQTbdJp
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38C2Rzz450
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ4wmdd9Xc
planning to do.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELOzpacBKG
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeGblwvZgk
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs1EcoKDW0
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn0qiZotCn
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeXY4LEvAZ
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZfXMHNfQ
"And also because he's 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd7iwYiY9J
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU0LVQZChf
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uo5A4sKED
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi3qqbQ7tK
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hN7AuUeAI
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ112ExQHdeU
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5URux4KZet
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5MkmqRHDS
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRInuXa92QG
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ6otmmc2b
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBLz6x3Flw
G-Dragon smiled. He had 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46GVJJbLl5
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKO14zHRgG
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqwjvNYwEc
deal with G-Dragon instead.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJR9FFoKeJ
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF5YLqKq3C
"What do you want?" I asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0seouWEPOn
G-Dragon looked at me as994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHztVlKRD2y
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCLwcOChzq
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0I3U1BZI8
came to any conclusions.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRHEfIqqV5
"To make things clear 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXval8jKEI
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JZmmbgHsp
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzIQoHdSGx
thinking about doing the same thing."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrhSMENKgr
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuTO1TQvwy
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oCEYJVxiN
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi40Rv2Jq3
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVY3WhxFKk
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwoyiONOCg
"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."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5UHihq2IL
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy774k6pxn
"All's fair in love and 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQkDVZVfoV
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpKBbvWQ0V
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wtyamTCur
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfYuv9oJMK
"Come on," Christine 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HhP6TJjLf
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrBJBlYsmD
won't be here for long and you know it."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGAJmirqdR
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JcMHTG5ht
"BTW is nothing but a 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyatRih3e4Q
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFL0fABEHL
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvJeulKiLz
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1w6A9gqq1
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7TPwcGEyc
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGKwvgAwOI
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoykKygakF
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kBgHxQzkQ
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHphSLw54SB
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0qetMzoAx
"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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab2hPqfm54
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve3I9KYtuj
Upon saying that, the 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D8aM9BfMc
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AmJQV2l06
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8vGX1RDVd
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBZ9AvEez3
seated stood up.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSeRDlt6a4
I gulped. I hope the 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe21gMaP6j
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJtWPnvWqs
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W3YM1IR1e
The two managers had 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorW9XArnL9
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxk0Xy57KL
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ0lNZn6G8
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSChxlWSK1
is wrong.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1HRcd3gHw
"Good that you're all 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5922E6ZJU
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZbtiWfjxk
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0TEaTfFHS
I have always hated it 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMctoZbqF0O
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xfgYbB6pP
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XtkXOiz53
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUK1iJijDz
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9nNi9JIXz
their seats.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl42h86JiM
The two managers and Lee994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCuRt7NIRp
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUotIDmqpvR
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdp2G5a5yt
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9uElX5nE4
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5SrxCM8HK
was.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVYZ61Ir9t
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHyoWOYkU8
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe3cGUUFtH
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKqBjTZVKB
Zoey sighed loudly in 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfVmh1trxH
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM81agKUZb
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIAYiwUbA5
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XNWzplUNs
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyO8J9PSdz
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnle92WCwqN
The two managers 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5DBAVN8N5
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNheBRJapkz
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVgJSSxBc5
That was so not cool.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqU47waffr
"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."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0tomrW3EL
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZGup0mfUJ
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8s48pw59G
My ears perked up when 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhvMwMrQmd
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoCtKZAi8E
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXUHJMvtdf
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnPMBsfzVm
"We heard you outside 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseMrC3ERC1
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4RNaPBw1K
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5VGcTGTMc
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2ss5DUZlf
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGM440317h
"Yes, Sam. For real," 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTbgRE24kU
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ2VMiazxu
through further scrutiny about this decision."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNOwrg25BB
I smiled. Even if they 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QbD1dbUSU
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirRsm9ZcOx
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC9suGRGkF
There was an exciting 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWReTiLSYn
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPofvRFG9x
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyV4pfuYZM
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4PFscgFAt
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJp55RbpPr
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZmKdoXMj3
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduJeGeVHAm
I turned to my other 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoGDwacRsU
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlm4j2Lt26
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPp7xYOEW2
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4zHvttdQJ
now, didn't matter.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFUXbmFIsn
"You heard them when 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TZvTk39ZH
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtGpumShRs
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwF42O8iPF
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhngL55ZX1L
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGlsH6s00D
"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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVJuxfj5SZ
This time it was me, or I994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3NgV2rOx3
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUaCYLjKSm
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DLFBLFPFa
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9DqcyELIl
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9vhZpoRhN
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJmLujst8D
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkn9crExn8
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG52JOFSz5
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlidIS1fITL
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xeD7MJgnE
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmhdnCUOdE
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzTBR1rUjg
"We all agree," said Daniel.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡompfaUgS2b
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMymxKriAXf
"But just because it 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlEXlH4kso
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBUTBvSqRg
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FeO5xnyGM
"Okay, so that's settled994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwe3z1WYwD
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54XkXrBrTW
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjibIp3kWYO
BTW official."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFWC1B1RLd
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9nMvILpiy
I noticed that most of 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk8IN1qBa9
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrN5VaiQMj
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy43vLwK7kw
when she looked at me and I grinned.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjovZu6KSR
"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."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYkLtuwgsJ
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS3EUn8nlL
"Before we make BTW 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXdtB4sBhT
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZErxOzx0TR
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j0qriITn4
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREGDSR0K1o
low for a while. Is that good?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38S9PV6Gdc
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHgfglqRYA
"That's fair enough," 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUzEhXHBgj
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3OJAccXKi
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eJpFhzkBZ
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47DJz4hQTV
so."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRUlqaA5iI
"So you want to crush 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKeX333k77
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx1sum1TwN
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq9Pz4ehki
strategy."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HWGSKOxGG
"Then if all is well and994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAAgYO2GlS
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWZ4ZpAkyj
updated and not a word on social media."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9En20j5nLD
I stood up from my seat 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xp4byYMr9
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdmRw7OMR0
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxtpX1rW8m
walk out, I stopped them.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzaS0pOUev
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvE6T1ePfO
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWsALUxHQN
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh2frJM45q
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWN83zUS6U
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUceXfHNUM
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia9A7tG4Iy
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNamfHP6fHV
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmyLgMUHID
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveq8TEz0gA
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9UaLtfuPz
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX52pZHLu5U
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGESQ1dF10
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s18qlGPuF
"This is like the best 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFM3oyVkOi
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNRXtulFsF
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD7IUTm3jo
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AUKrvWWSy
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhndecyFA44
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCctnchthOX
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9QlipzPzx
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5oJgsLu5M
"I knew there was a 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5UelPEsrU
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTCqBG0I5v
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gMptI5W5o
G-Dragon.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzv6xDKT2X
"You knew?" Christine asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGJlDZyJX8
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCfev8Dzsx
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9F6y0fTPa
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhPzk8xEqn
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWBD7MnVf2
"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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWVd88Teck
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxS5Ve3QdF
"Well, you guys can tell994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4zXY8jKmm
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WjwaeRXQS
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy5scOPpkb
aren't going to go into the same car."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7qpo9Qkjn
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFAG1aBGWG
Everyone else started to994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPhxpOkR37
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOStdNrwCLN
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMWtdfnzO8
only G-Dragon and I.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFMMNmLfjs
"I'm mad at you," I started.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGoVRwqHFK
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLww3PN0Li
"Save it." I held my 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fNS6JjRmO
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g7sFSjvKG
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPIVKnOFTU
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC52DJrQNs
a war again."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKGZlt61UB
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjLXBjNCId
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p4jA1tfM5
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7OPz7pJHz
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWiYaXACa8
G-Dragon looked at me 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl2Jk37nzH
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8fKSNq6qg
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJERTtM1Du
stab in the heart.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkF1VYi33y
"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."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvaBIXehjT
"You know, the others 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVVO0Onr2A
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdXNYrHLEc
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyN1FSBQJp
with WINNER yesterday."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU3VMbVw9l
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuVPafJ7mZ
I nodded my head. What I994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5UQGP35ge
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8F4LG2hDm
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaczmhOXN8
of Seunghoon and I.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaHNveGVAA
"You know you and I can 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkolFoJnvr
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE8EskIqX4
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc8wacFJHJ
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9NICIKCy1
down the rocks."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHErLzcxLwG
I headed for the door 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegYMvLRdvA
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS9Hjvis0R
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwz2BYfSrK
Zoey, waiting.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxvr1Jozmu
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnN2hTDLG2
"I sure hope so," I said994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQH08P8uvu
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaytWf9DQZQ
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd6JbPpgmh
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wAf4Ssh59
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrgdbYiBCP
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETUNlKn1eY
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMscsYtQNZ
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qC8j6Y2gn
"You know computers are 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRFCzFFbv9
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvXqfg9ufP
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKSe5bGx2I
supposed to."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEviz6fqOl
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQs9bBXCIt
I smiled. "You always call me that."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2px8gWME2U
"Ya, because you're smart too."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9ZDiTAM17
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsN3pfwrlo
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKDcT0rBRs
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIwWXaWkgY
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYiw0denFl
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QBfwzIPz4
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
