Hanging out at Times 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mqxhkowRc
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY62AALpbZN
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI6HItQxXX
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKjIhA4pk9
But that didn't matter. 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyzOUFRXci
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbNdP1ww2W
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxk1ncJupK
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzfFcY42VF
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gDcjNOPyy
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9keEMKfGVu
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvtFhuyOw9
actually played around with the adorable kids.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUJDZCHMZX
There were plenty of 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSScEfXueg
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIhsc5UTNI
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUCgQyvS8u
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7CXA7qiTK
fans too.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojs9D5uhAw
The time we were done 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM27yNW8hHM
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8jjUYhJB7
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXSLKtl2hP
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlv1yoNSLH
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjRTSXoXC2
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HjhLI9pq3
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSJkglS1nE
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpJ7zObSFq
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJeDaXpgU4
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6bfu49HXZ
previous day, of course.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3oF7oqr6q
As much as the managers 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu1CCZUOLd
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl7rhKzgpq
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr14lEhRrrz
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfpbXwFHhs
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVv1F3W8Lt
Right now, this very 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrPULPYLNj
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OyLeGWdXQ
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexrepzNnjd
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrVlAhMfNC
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI3Fzx4YTk
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ul2PpYWeM
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsWW95fggD
and I just couldn't take it.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Sx4VmkTD
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkWhZP2wy4
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yX4xUylUK
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CfkDoTHO1
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNQLZy9PmS
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZL87wsbvi
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdLXKzy3DL
"I thought you said your plan would work."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb9z4pUuNO
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz3cGq3tSv
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2pvrdFbl6
I felt like slapping my 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrmy8Din7X
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGjnOQeC0R
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPjvzHxSYV
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfALYfREZNA
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb7Uh2731b
off.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6LHLwdPqU
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlGtZXJ3ZE
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0E1YS9bnG
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehRsAEq37Q
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93bAHpvAzz
I shrugged. She read my 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK99Te3TG4e
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42cRJGEdDz
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnaipfBpDa
me the whole time."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2QEJ5pfsB
I sat down on my bed as 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbOrlw2Mh7
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6hNYV7bG1
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqVAsfr3al
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL3oMO7NHd
"Gosh, you really should963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNLbLcovnx
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d2vxDBWJ2
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfX4qxBbjx
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rFWZoqmjW
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2DrnXP6If
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKLzRxkPds
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp6J7iqPwB
"Mike is annoying 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcbXKPYjdp
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbd1WrkoPu
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEp1Ex3e5d
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfMqGkd1qQ
"You're right. I should burn him instead."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStBNP3ieva
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ153LDX7eHl
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLAhjogJVu
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfpRWiMf8k
"Sorry, but just so you 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxen5Zpt5pd
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OzPKcVB2G
that pic of you and him together."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MVIHkLG57
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cfSOkMMg6
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJoZcCsOT9
I blushed and at the 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFtNN3a9Da
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc1Lf9wVqX
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMH6rgl3qC
other hidden agenda.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiw6obImEW
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR5LW5FYJg
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUVQ3Uc7bs
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o5zY1Ql4F
I sighed in surrender. 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcfZSNQjAd
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKaht9cl2o
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs704lRrkxm
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJCzwym83J
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."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqNUfrCu1x
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFyB5YAbs0
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAmJgR3vd3
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Q4vrUA2t
Zoey had an excited look963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYEUXV91Am
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON8qjklsLY
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj66kouU5we
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZdhq7lrz3
clearly show all over her face.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM6E4wNEfH
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwDYhWv5xt
I shook my head. "And?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdzoTj5MIg
Zoey folded her arms, 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR2I1aXUuN
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AjoDg8PMo
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdat3yD0My
"Hold that thought. This963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9SyMxf8qb
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxJamwIhy1
after Seunghoon posted that picture."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeePsTcrYjU
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JZXojZ6XO
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyiFlAQBXp
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA5VYQ58Jn
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72TQTomCvA
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMOZtPN5Vj
"Well, he hid in our closet."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnubu52tI3R
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl1so843KP
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhn1hHUEg7
"Ya, why?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtKeaw7ZXh
"Looks like we just 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYwWXHqyVG
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M9gPO3S6Z
whom we consider perfect as our bias."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahEEPpoIga
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."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpomjxQ2Qkb
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrWmshwjNt
"What do you mean? You 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb2GPxi0fO
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TYkHRFtt2
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VzL7SP3xU
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdwlp3CPm3
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO2XGJ3fRd
"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."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfJXjNnl7y
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbsr91dVrg
"I wanted to but I kept 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDIyeERZ97
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja3Ex2JbfX
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdSjbze5Rj
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VxFuLes5G
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFOJpZTgp1
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuU4kBZw3a
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7Ap2xKqlA
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwXvK9V4JT
I quickly stood up and 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjJrwrOZme
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxSFja8crI
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg2Q1oSVe2
her back.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5FT3YEuYm
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJQUQ8MhBG
"Zoey, you're going to 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThd3Rr2uPQ
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWitdBoRb6L
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzE1UhpcJ0
own hair pink in the next ten years."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvdCP10asJ
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmiN4VQlcC
"You're lying."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8oFYdpPtA
"I'm telling the truth!"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ODW11IIZM
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A4PWIgRQK
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08SZigiWY0
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xptIw43QR
"I can't tell you that."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJkKz5xrUZ
"Why?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbh10eXPY2
"Because it's 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEqP8XS7r3
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83wdC12Ipy
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b02wJYUSD
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh7gz3smx7
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktym1R7a1d
"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."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSONJR5xZg
"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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg39RrZgxu0
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uRrLArFTv
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hfy9wfPm4
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk9ptFyQSF
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI5B243UKL
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzBNH9uQVk
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v4yOXuW8s
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNu81kxLKA
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD5rt7hHMV
I playfully rolled my 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw7tNLb1DY
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0rJ2egcC0
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdwETPusxt
also looked worried.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwU6gXghEk
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCmFZ3Cwwp
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKQkqoswqQ
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGtYDCmm7r
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoUNUe9h9m
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTel39cYG5
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYYv4g3syW
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjPyPCMKX7
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCIXUqDLEA
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CwJEImAdz
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ekBj2ajcx
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviSLU14HU3
"Okay, first of all," 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuISO6nxchp
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaptjUJs40
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3cBXSs4XZ
he wasn't mad at you."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPmLhSzTLi
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2BgG286uX
"That, he couldn't say."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDte9jZqFR4
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgxOsZv8YN
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPckq0UTA74
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCskshKR1Rt
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU76YH2FPRt
Christine pressed the 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpLzi3LaE3
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XU1WAVvtg
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4JYJx2VxF
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSUDNUlIYD
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8nFhtKHj2
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3Xwk5RdWK
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumK64R4dHi
We got to YG right on 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHNUXfyPqp
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6MLgulIgx
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v7llLJE8t
arrived a few seconds earlier.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMXn8XwJRD
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsecXj4o9d
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvQX8OB6vZ
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgITHndMStS
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h6Gj4Ts9F
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkX1MGSRLG
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwg3h6bh5j
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4azxASFEJ
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1s0TCyKoj
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY9ISuO0js
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6YRHBekFu
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI4Ice7U0z
"There will be no such 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiUhpBNDPd
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXjTNobo64
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml3bFyaBKG
"And you're making it 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzrPqooCeE
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3ZPd1yoos
pouted his lip and scratched his head.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIdzYnUoCc
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyz7sxO3SV
"Trust me, you don't 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCHES5TlbY
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovS8yQpgk4
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkhlATv3J7
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kiJo6jQ4c
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmLbXf5mPA
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9aRondGv5
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimUdeCMHof
"Look, whether they are 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeN7ftiUmH
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4m1hkX6ut
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXClCbPQYCM
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvQ0v18PaN
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwPRwilCe9
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKIASvfNqK
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQGYfhpS8E
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhNnQm0MzL
I gave Lee a sad smile 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtyKUeSYVh
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Hsqievwu
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaoslWdb2p
your life. Like suicide.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWZnwn7Z4W
We started our way 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICnVOf4q6V
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXXac3kIHS
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cs3beROp9
and my jean trousers. Nothing.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTCWLF1G5c
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUvIrktk6X
I quickly ran out of the963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1HRaYTKEo
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ5U7YUJvh
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GCxKxgdRV
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ngc1XN1yh
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGu0j6EBak
check for it inside.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OXTN59PbC
When I got to the 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx7xffGT36
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBt8CAOLnh
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnmYkatOSn
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd4CLNRydR
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cosohdAyP
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s9rR1OOMJ
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0G0mGjZb1
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pGgfMJytv
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelBjxCk0OA
"Seriously, I can sue 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jNS6HwWh6
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JMduXAWrx
fast. I never even heard him coming.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW3LdyvmRt
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gdIobyo1z
"You're not my bodyguard963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAzgEghTy6
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6xcjXUrrp
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Y2ohYoip
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3fWunjZuy
I blushed. "You know about that?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbfD3oQRBl
"Everyone knows you have963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQjjZbnVbH
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhg7xBHXeZ
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO0OdOqskI
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KOlNh7eCL
"Looks like I did the 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOskyXPLQxO
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8saM2e2Bx
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0coY8IBTh
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsj9sTc4yx
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONpTNe18Ab
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvGQsyL5rU
"And because you're a 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKp2htlfJ8
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI9Z0jhs7c
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzZazUkpOu
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zedmQOKGf
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6B7cKpzLW
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtIOYPSRku
"Can you at least tell 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsvzmBkdSV
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci5yJuoztK
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDoAYtk8N2
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4oLSDQHcV
"What dramatic effect?" 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRDyOSsmuH
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR975vWMpj
came closer. I took a warning step back.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7rDXsURWX
"If you hadn't followed 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9XlS1Gm9b
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGdtInL8KH
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGXCMS8xyT
room."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJC32j8ryR
"What surprise?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvQ0C2lrcg
The elevator stopped and963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNpKRRR1tF
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6ylWI3Qxr
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOmNfklSX0
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl343ToqyR
Seunghoon and I stepped out.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iuJPPZVcF
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCEkFGG3KW
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFprw21Uno
"I already have a guess," I said.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2Lm2y8lQ3
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z6ODyUzy2
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftIc6o4RDl
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRnGFX2g1i
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj182tvXli
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dhuyMZOVJ
When we reached the 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWK7FHofq2
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl07yMGM96u
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiVYpOfjxC
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJe4OqOVEE
In the conference room 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdcF1kwcgt
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBidIUG9Nt
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9lmBnsUdF
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PfxzRa7Yp
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9juQibCBOY
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ybCag6Xx8
though I did my best not to show it.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjho6eXZyC
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg9642W9i1
I looked to the opposite963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiWVRhnZYb
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccvIddwwAo
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1JHanwLYP
turned their backs to us facing the wall.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgosp5ZTeXU
"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."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBeKxL00K0
G-Dragon quickly turned 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPS8EPupZ4
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoCna8kaXE
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6bv3dMao1
"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?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3Y5xC22k5
"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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU83BVrjcQr
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGjwLc4Uav
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBDY2TLDGl
"Wait," said Lisa who 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7PLKvskx0
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN8YZsTSF0
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkjaoVTlTK
"It felt simple and 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFMnkoW9jC
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVKPsUhnbb
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHgz5JNLKg
with G-Dragon today."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45EBwLEA59
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qHDPQu1Ot
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa1mUcSnFE
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv99qfUNRb
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPC2eoOUF5
"Ya, I know I'm a 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp6KXc12P7
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ITQF9Obu2
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKjgUejAPa
"If you mean us getting 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM2qlaAL6L
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBlcXl3sC1
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoTQDVzfLZ
by coincidence."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmllXdOpRpm
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmmErqaK4j
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJxJ4CFMQN
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TDp55ko66
The rest of the BTW crew963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhkmBpis67
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZVkdoX1Ds
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUhJhSNCW2
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv9RJ9nd1d
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJrMDpXGXT
"Hold up," said Zoey who963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhNG0jkctX
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDov1eC9vA
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTV7m2uPjA
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPWUvT4jaK
"Told you we'll 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmEne0CqOh
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS96AOTuLcj
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFppE7tqO0
"But is he going to do 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy0dFmZibP
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKhZb5eFDA
didn't really meet by coincidence."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR42LN1PQi
There was silence in the963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6us8NxAqvg
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5KSROVrGx
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1P6Abk2QN
planning to do.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW0u7H0hDH
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2woyym9bAo
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloJOffLv21
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlklbeLleyH
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQREBtJxyTH
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY7ALxoT16
"And also because he's 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvPcXvsOzR
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1VGuBXd8u
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Pf8ymFla
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T1eIpdml3
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iZfhWyqJZ
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsWUuQcrnB
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkxdVslg0L
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBtXR5yihC
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmg7e96drc
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHBLX0K5S8
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOT7JA1LyY
G-Dragon smiled. He had 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XmZQgY1kQ
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtxRZiFLU1
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8k6oNh3pa
deal with G-Dragon instead.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrlANifcit
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOVV8RF56M
"What do you want?" I asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbintxlZ9Q
G-Dragon looked at me as963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7B7BuKVHm
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2SW2YEeyA
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8JaFEOvh2
came to any conclusions.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6jyHDMaK6
"To make things clear 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGAXXaZSPY
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLsHU9SLgL
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgviEhnOqk
thinking about doing the same thing."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmpSHoGeIB
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpVRoPidkf
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr4mdIVUup
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0MOBODSxW
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QPDGu4LMW
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduYVdTPwsa
"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."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4awzwYFDah
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h0gl1pKbX
"All's fair in love and 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQEI4N1HI8
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwbTY4dGWd
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnhdBI4hsB
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYhg55Savx
"Come on," Christine 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPvoqmxbv2
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieoEMi9SQy
won't be here for long and you know it."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9KqmE83em
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XJhyKSrCL
"BTW is nothing but a 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46gGMDr2CS
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbJI5pRkk4
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUEmbeF6KB
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRGewJC4G7
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rJAfV9GAk
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoIwa4ZnJw
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK9BwH2ctm
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhAj7vw6WE
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSFbsZeFcb
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF19MZvgq4c
"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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaQKSYfjrQ
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHdQz5qMwL
Upon saying that, the 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mJhQdhmeT
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7adeKj3ZeW
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRi6R5jeKd
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBTnp5QLFO
seated stood up.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEBWnfDy9b
I gulped. I hope the 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpmAzwmG4F
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BjHVqco5O
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oRzUtwJB7
The two managers had 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPALoEATdVU
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSykiLR1XI
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl3D3R1JyO
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMnTXLlp7V
is wrong.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld4xouw0FW
"Good that you're all 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOIbnzzf0X
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FWGwADTdt
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WKz7cKX39
I have always hated it 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8g8231NBI
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGDlDe8jaC
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8oUwHhoml
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAHsFwKARp
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zUvFwyDS5
their seats.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c8sjo5bvj
The two managers and Lee963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMIU98wOy3
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniStbpDYCL
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxjrwJJY5k
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbSPqtw6pE
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtzc7pmHFJ
was.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0mVlu7Sml
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa368ceFnJ
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuaDqw5EcG
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDC1X9EaTN
Zoey sighed loudly in 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBGObo3BXN
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChwSxtfNjw
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16rzR4ajF7
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtaUTFSC3V
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes63J4elwq
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjBuLdckuP
The two managers 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OBFdJoom6
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdf88vHCcz
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY1MLKrRzb
That was so not cool.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnam4e2Oxeo
"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."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCAvmMD4TG
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk45DDSjhD
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhvsJrff4P
My ears perked up when 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUdzUFUX5R
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNXoPymsEd
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg7xsqvJ3d
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaQSoLhW6Z
"We heard you outside 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sbynnYocb
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10a6OqMJus
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqprGToJOkr
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7WHeYwyfs
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKzeItGOWd
"Yes, Sam. For real," 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepQTj1O3I2
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfj1WQvWdd
through further scrutiny about this decision."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJoJcXsCEk
I smiled. Even if they 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0aOoSVD9O
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeeXF6EAxW
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhBHnXZvUl
There was an exciting 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt1YQgyDeq
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iyEkx2RMt
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OcsHFg55p
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKYYsRZDTm
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0LDjnFoCW
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5nja6Bvvb
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrCf37yy7D
I turned to my other 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ9wi12Lx7
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmEMisJhpF
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9vYUBYqOx
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw2P5lmV8I
now, didn't matter.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLn1iZRa6N
"You heard them when 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP0ueD3ToH
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBAKhIVsyN
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOBIPwXR42
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBmbrVNLnj
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCCynG7MgJ
"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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ud9flb9Ko
This time it was me, or I963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFSNb9qvQw
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yVQo4scQR
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrafos53hV
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6tYRITqRe
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJMJbRyF2i
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YyXmMcjb1
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTehLhh3aQB
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNz48x1O6u
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxYTOXj4kC
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuT3O0HKcM
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxpYdT698I
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP33Cglo9uq
"We all agree," said Daniel.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa225a5Vt1
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sxUWZT5J4
"But just because it 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mRFaIFQ5m
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6WblebBYC
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooWtWhyiDe
"Okay, so that's settled963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CE75P5l8B
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfdi1GIKxR
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4d56f5x2M
BTW official."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vWMv9Wf9n
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpfV2QuM6m
I noticed that most of 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2qt3zbSET
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSSgJZI1OH
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILXhZhuEka
when she looked at me and I grinned.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2OZQsq90z
"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."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUbUzqSABW
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV2Lb22ToJ
"Before we make BTW 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQPilJdSE0
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY181q5drk
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6hR3B6ccR
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T0I1mlYu6
low for a while. Is that good?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qAoZrRbWY
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmn6asOUAj
"That's fair enough," 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xJhmHTpwN
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qEBIvhKpo
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2zrRN7wZB
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2phbpLvrk3
so."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49yEpMN0dB
"So you want to crush 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsIZK8SOPO
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMNe49SLU1
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqN8vBWRst
strategy."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjUMx9J9dO
"Then if all is well and963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lXmHWVw5y
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVCGNu62US
updated and not a word on social media."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL3QMqqvZv
I stood up from my seat 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5GYbeyzly
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qseIckJyA
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCNUihRYpT
walk out, I stopped them.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfR7v6kPoU
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKE7YTiZe5
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouDECAC8of
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqdFNqQH03
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoroH5zP87P
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUatj96i46
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbvSOREUEv
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvsAloqOjd
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVDO7G5wjR
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgYJaqciH5
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9xCiqxTQq
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fufwLHQl7
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiW5dy7StE
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWps26hASG
"This is like the best 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfYsibA1dp
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOoYLXcMip
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIi9h1OsSX
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIeiuAd0KN
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ9Maut3gd
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NhKOr5uu2
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xjQU6747F
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsy5QZ5peo
"I knew there was a 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI48FytPUYr
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mz5Pt3BNQ
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAr68xK3wJ
G-Dragon.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpixSK9s2N
"You knew?" Christine asked.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNcjce2AHg
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePyYdEujaY
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TY9biSUNj
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqV4o0HkPu
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkuUBd6DsU
"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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQr3mM8Nz5
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsOmzeaBUi
"Well, you guys can tell963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF2nL5Wofy
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJkyEfr3ua
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr54eTV7yUS
aren't going to go into the same car."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡethuaD9pqE
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgOZTrUUy2
Everyone else started to963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZVJr07mH0
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sAKMKyPH5
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2YYQPMTIv
only G-Dragon and I.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMY7yOitW4
"I'm mad at you," I started.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4mk0umBCD
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRDc1BWjS4
"Save it." I held my 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTVt5DDXeJ
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rAmNdexXN
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOR3ULpt4B
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM7jzbGXX8
a war again."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2C6kIaHo7
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUvld3qEOh
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8lSCgE5MN
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCIelId74i
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nLS10vErg
G-Dragon looked at me 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDpUIAtztI
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFdkhlj7Zh
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijszeb1uKe
stab in the heart.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp1HWYSUly
"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."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqLIZvWYe1
"You know, the others 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUFMgrdNq7
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT72bFCS7Ra
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UI6eZDrct
with WINNER yesterday."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv3PakeDyY
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqs7dyp5yi
I nodded my head. What I963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcfu9b3oOt
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY6OQTOJOs
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuktxtfi1ly
of Seunghoon and I.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfbTRv8PwI
"You know you and I can 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Va47F91M
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCsOD3FRxH
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vvF9h2ssF
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImV74Y0FhH
down the rocks."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY7c2jk7rd
I headed for the door 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nXFIOjH0h
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8RgOa0EuD
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrdQBkrQKp
Zoey, waiting.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h2I0j1rdH
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM6YW7tyTi
"I sure hope so," I said963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi5u6Po4mB
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9xlchDTEB
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8d3rnHRqg
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2LRhqzXw0
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQXWGLzNfr
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dCt4ROWS3
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6riRT9eS9
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkvVmCR7ve
"You know computers are 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmQ3wNn6ZO
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPDb6w4uYk
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w7LwAlhkL
supposed to."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvz39zms4z
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjf4Z4TAZc
I smiled. "You always call me that."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFm0P424rP
"Ya, because you're smart too."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zsJOy7MEX
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGGuAJ2xZO
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujzZIqbNkG
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse7JkYCaYW
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowHARRTdXj
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KR9sEtTEL
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
