Hanging out at Times 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYyTsoTmoY
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGh2V8LhWt
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9GgBMXxU1
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvoHAdSYmo
But that didn't matter. 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Rqph3kzq
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCaiQ8yMIh
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj6GLxSlFA
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFjZnJkkmw
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMw71GUtDH
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7LlHSbi6P
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOxo1C1ZXn
actually played around with the adorable kids.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ndyOf524
There were plenty of 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23GkR1IxbF
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEmHeMItfq
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V8mTAu7Sr
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtncMz8MSvC
fans too.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkhgnRamBF
The time we were done 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAOaDgiFl7
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNw54HFqME
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdL5JF08Hn
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2AxALMtxp
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwma2MuyxQ
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKA3453FAe
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7os63udxO
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzYuSwTaDB
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQikoQ2cWY
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkemOq9s6iH
previous day, of course.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39OENFs6e9
As much as the managers 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVQy7VmCNh
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONk9S9he1Y
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFp26mM88S
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWVcf5NEth
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXuYtg4x1s
Right now, this very 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kLFtGVJzk
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tKLEtcWxW
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCqNoe6hw5
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ310gcWf4yk
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYraxlpLA7
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHeRfrzVQe
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic4Ej9zSSn
and I just couldn't take it.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXoHmqQeYs
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4u0D48lTf
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXRa5Ec6yz
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauM3nXGVDI
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FZG5IRYJZ
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfNm6obER1
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBNgdW5s7D
"I thought you said your plan would work."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUj8LGrt94
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr87sicxcaB
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOLxaDOdmb
I felt like slapping my 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw4dLGqNeH
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dh9W7r1W6
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNs518vOmT
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfN6ehoLJN
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRbkvqa25X
off.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bOazwLRO8
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo9vUnmtUF
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjnXimZ89s
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzbvly1Pvv
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBkgYa4eja
I shrugged. She read my 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWkyuJcpkO
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx0KqOK7GD
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxphjNWF8Lr
me the whole time."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXO25GDPSV
I sat down on my bed as 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvMVdLTTB4
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALTJq4bVen
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVitvhCuz8a
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9JOr05Hsh
"Gosh, you really should1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjgQcbK8st
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60XthRmdJh
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7WbYKql8H
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf90Xyfuxu
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kgVz2rJKS
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6vUZTzOl0
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0163ofdmR
"Mike is annoying 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXizdHNaSx1
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iUO0LSTNa
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjbN5O3bhZ
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAP6hP3lIJ
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KihnQYko8
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSLYlyyWYu
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgemLfbA77V
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ML10uFhBn
"Sorry, but just so you 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc4jJzrC12
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0NBnoX8zi
that pic of you and him together."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7PeUKAgtA
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaUR5cVoZC
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WHZB3S1Mu
I blushed and at the 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FDfzYZ6xg
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKFgnUvFBE
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YYOjZIfuc
other hidden agenda.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDaPdtf0kW
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgBZUdsBPZ
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8obBu0pXCk
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDaivsHROi
I sighed in surrender. 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyHvJBkM02
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUw90iG8AS
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Z7by4aWQ
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNsgQIuuRH
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."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSfUqXpBhj
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc8roSgwQw
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P8JokJT7A
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6X2fXYdN3
Zoey had an excited look1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XujtVqwsX
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRfrn9iUz8
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhURG083egW
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfLue2gRyj
clearly show all over her face.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISQj5vUkUI
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IP8HjvRtu
I shook my head. "And?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmoKiI5zpW
Zoey folded her arms, 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eR9FtpLq3
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkOeC79wCM
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡintQv97LnP
"Hold that thought. This1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLnUgk5E1j
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoimfxrqoCY
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuLUhaQzpN
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTpVCUHEEB
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNluDJlv5TC
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSkMU0giZZ
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJQTBGkSI0
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aira5ayzx
"Well, he hid in our closet."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WfqPAaa1e
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17iELtRyYv
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkiaq518v8
"Ya, why?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ906GnFYKwd
"Looks like we just 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR2IczEZuh
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhRYvtZore
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzWVsmRMgw
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."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQJWCc4Hhw
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TyYpq8tbD
"What do you mean? You 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnfmXZ1PBn
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqF9bPhFJ5
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fcCYFJLqv
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYny5iKMFbd
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1NNm32HG7
"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."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIXKNYnHQI
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5987M778V
"I wanted to but I kept 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXztkHZh0AX
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp9WR2mqFx
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFGKLkdgMZ
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaIOyiOxWS
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhReNJO9SH
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk3f5CR4Oj
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVirwqytcTb
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6PQo6p2mi
I quickly stood up and 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiwH225HHP
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGYMnHILD4
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j5eEnrjMA
her back.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnIpJV7Od4
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSVbsLJ7Li
"Zoey, you're going to 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxUKkPt2zF
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLyYcPQpVL
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHPMghvxD7
own hair pink in the next ten years."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrfiBtFWA7
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6OPIlgqil
"You're lying."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6ZmBtL8Dz
"I'm telling the truth!"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgyYpo6Xk6
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYluDGVyOd9
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgJTshZhrD
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvsUQIFBVB
"I can't tell you that."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRHT1La8ee
"Why?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNithkrGC5
"Because it's 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHd7lWQZEs
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIPqYglIib
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2roXlMfgU
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75aSpSDz2W
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX8Z3M0e9N
"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."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49WDYFz3gX
"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.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFnc5eK0nH
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOck14kSxWS
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGMTZxwzBJ
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgVRVMShrC
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPPnrb8Y1V
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GnYeWMqiq
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1NQ70sjAu
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYbnhvjs8l
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0nXrup8a0
I playfully rolled my 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXAffjBp17
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDyKWYD6Fa
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZD5kGhTZ0
also looked worried.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmm1ZHsxkb
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6ScK6YHex
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBi9c8rgCN
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fs3rXnBML
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3hJzPXClX
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyLc8E8xK6
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9urDnNgpL
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ad0fYGRSB
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bBoPDLfc6
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgLaMaVIBu
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd3CGh2xYv
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJA8lRdv6L
"Okay, first of all," 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63yU7UVVf5
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmTyGt9BGW
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba0SeIn2xb
he wasn't mad at you."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDHwjp87FR
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwXz4MngeD
"That, he couldn't say."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAIZdeiE5i
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzPPW2otlc
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1ghGyEc5I
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiNa0CUxlt
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3koKgaoml
Christine pressed the 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4frymkKsr
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVWjHTshrf
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVetI8fqsD
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EElR8Ttb5
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB22muk1PM
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK81RO4GKX4
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVilRKYLbv3
We got to YG right on 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmD2nb18xm
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIobsMvtI3
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNzxZRMOlV
arrived a few seconds earlier.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSIuTTC7bV
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsRn1Zclmt
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH49UIjIi9M
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ7C9YfIqS
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTatzUxaHw9
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljfDMqmx5Y
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCh08RXd2P
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4xMpxgLXI
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3jVv5KED1
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGcVGxAXgO
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ82zvM11U
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtHY6CuJ0G
"There will be no such 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQnRQJwu3K
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWmDAJ3xVO
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OLaOkcGFd
"And you're making it 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LuKIIz62g
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QCaBSIE3a
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOVef79Qre
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdr6UvZBw4
"Trust me, you don't 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kRh0ySkik
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJauBYsXIP
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyjAAg7HOU
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt0VEYb0Dm
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9TYCKNRG2
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQNT7gGgIU
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7cwvQPaHc
"Look, whether they are 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJa3UvHorK
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGTB9MWqRV
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGldHGMDFXD
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaraHNC1YU
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKhBAt6ES6
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRWrvvFuIJ
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeDdFKUTpr
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3agbyx0G7N
I gave Lee a sad smile 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziNKt4pXyj
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPY1VJ0bt9
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTBuMeGHKH
your life. Like suicide.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzKAFtStAH
We started our way 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ233GVb2utO
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rWIfZOmKm
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv7TrQweLn
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN36MqUtIe
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59we8Fmsgv
I quickly ran out of the1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3QdJV7GrP
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEK3c3RbKT
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98S90tZSQq
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaiZia8LTu
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX08zbAMtNg
check for it inside.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eU7DxRaJm
When I got to the 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAKXR6wnVK
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAsALXgvgq
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBQzH2MBkp
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXH7ZDeMAV
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8cra62Gkf
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzHIEcPGsW
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyp2IRPhPB
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLbWMVVrwV
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHmlNdTGlC
"Seriously, I can sue 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVyieIgcvQ
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut3chsPIkZ
fast. I never even heard him coming.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PT21MLhMX
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW5ygGGtV8
"You're not my bodyguard1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ1qXkSNaQ
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c6Vzi1LXX
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY60Xn0aBru
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48FwyVUJog
I blushed. "You know about that?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IlytqUtWi
"Everyone knows you have1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRatlJAIiAH
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHFYyQzKY4
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzoQhK5ThQ
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOlOyFJR98
"Looks like I did the 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uXJXC8FNf
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dkMX73Xxg
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhtdWA4E9E
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9XszJo8xy
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAp5uy0qsB
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKxLYHgVdr
"And because you're a 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kG6S446jx
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjCt8Nwt8D
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAJoFkopP6
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk5WzwS7It
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttjoxKlYLa
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1ob9cYh8z
"Can you at least tell 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDkm1oP2s3
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3t4geY065
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN7EvwLD0q
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnpiTxnetl
"What dramatic effect?" 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkv8WGW5cy
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW3dQfQ6wJ
came closer. I took a warning step back.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVsj7bcssE
"If you hadn't followed 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAaSVYwYxk
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYrZeLhFO2
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqlnqrdG8M
room."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ12alrO5yB
"What surprise?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9swMuOalRo
The elevator stopped and1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcLmSvbJAD
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaYeAeaW3v
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmuqRUt1j5
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnArniFbZ9
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzGPdNn3rv
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISXBZysHeL
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw0pkb0jff
"I already have a guess," I said.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF3ZVEO6bM
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn93VEdQzl
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgsHaJNajK
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5icYtzOio
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPX0TP9CEa
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7lhiOQV5A
When we reached the 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAhV2T69Id
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYHkYe2RDE
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFo4tM9hVO
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CtglGp9Cb
In the conference room 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHfrebs6Zw
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKq21yXb9G
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVIzoHRvHi
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ToNuxDQ3k
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ0jDzdiPO
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOKyfrFQGk
though I did my best not to show it.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82bLNPFhoQ
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3pk0BR4mo
I looked to the opposite1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr088uui2x
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPsXkny9wC
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ABPxiwWxV
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqagH1y0DVP
"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."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN0CTznXpD
G-Dragon quickly turned 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqYzm3on7v
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8louYGlKr
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd3apTmlxX
"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?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4AVcn4krB
"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.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvud8YT5AK4
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwjktEATeP
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVmCVXm6X3
"Wait," said Lisa who 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecvWKK9UI3
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny8XAQepyv
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5c9fLs2X2
"It felt simple and 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgNrgNbs4f
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xfdE1QVpM
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnMzTbFtsR
with G-Dragon today."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjMLIg2dug
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0nOwe79Bn
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KwkvxtlIA
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jDMNbbe3t
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVi1jLQoTI
"Ya, I know I'm a 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6345atlnG
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOVmDIdLmB
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJSJyDvTVl
"If you mean us getting 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAtqKJ6eb8
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmxVzMlqnj
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE1LTYWNsZ
by coincidence."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7PlbaIay6
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTlCqz74Y8
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIMuPeFNs7
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BXoKtFRgZ
The rest of the BTW crew1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlMJvYV4p7
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bafEcuN83
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMPiguoz0n
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKbMm2IKlb
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAVLeVhSrF
"Hold up," said Zoey who1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EXvDJgK0o
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBBXiHp54f
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD7XkKVfAe
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8JkQ5hh8L
"Told you we'll 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TwfjVuqjc
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLIz5R3pzt
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbA1EKma4d
"But is he going to do 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR0cCqSPGr
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46CjRNN6zn
didn't really meet by coincidence."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4nxtEKsUj
There was silence in the1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgyYEq9r6S
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOtdEoeh07
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJeTTTzT86
planning to do.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ycTzQa1xf
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF47GTopTJV
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnFImiTTe3
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ8HfbRXUP
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHp6ZT4mOB
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLClEALEujG
"And also because he's 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfUhcMmZjw
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekynCWRCbg
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWM6TDfTym
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlKXNWUqxG
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORk9PxlGMi
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfr2LW52MU
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmmGi3RMDf
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTqwjfpYtF
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatNhCYc567
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKHTYDGxlA
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNIPm48WvI
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMLVT39kzh
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5KhCyC2nt
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFiWaRf2w6
deal with G-Dragon instead.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgAhCe4wF6
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS6p7hjIhv
"What do you want?" I asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUUOUSlKQF
G-Dragon looked at me as1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQxK9kYDHK
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKwDkqdRlb
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjUPBByaWV
came to any conclusions.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtejFETRxAa
"To make things clear 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpFeOsGKIq
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAApkhD98ev
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQTbbvoLNI
thinking about doing the same thing."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVQ9j6jjiB
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO7Hly33uz
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfdn7L798e
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSPfBU5Yck
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3wagFFY2P
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NKllermsG
"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."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvm8qGSIPC
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeljHfAojS
"All's fair in love and 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfOJgrEpBu
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4026un0Ap
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2GwnbZID0
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqr4pfGim8
"Come on," Christine 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3pYYjo9Uw
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdp9ULqIPW
won't be here for long and you know it."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GFqNlzSgh
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwlJrcBDUX
"BTW is nothing but a 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7nDQC4G7S
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYQnygvQ4K
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB3gMwdHmn
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyxJQAYA9A
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnRRFZpBCY
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLQmoAz2xw
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG8Shz1uSU
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3rLRTW7gI
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfTSruPsTl
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qOK9O0lBR
"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.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC55lrZPMea
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO4WiGUt1G
Upon saying that, the 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEOrHhEGLj
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDhamqPw6W
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhVOWVBncE
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2B4AociWJ
seated stood up.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw1iQKogX6
I gulped. I hope the 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7pjp0ADi0
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fsdgWmr5i
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc4lt2bin4
The two managers had 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcFAiZqBxa
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ348ADf21WH
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibu4YkqC0U
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuyB5hCl4G
is wrong.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDBMcTW7im
"Good that you're all 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8jnH8vHWx
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiImGLQl610
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wtLdleWUA
I have always hated it 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pP0v4Y7j9
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGXUPGPCOY
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IxciEMnDh
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN1is6uX5o
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuivC7UJfoU
their seats.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYTqMBtF1m
The two managers and Lee1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8GZPkyLA0
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXKDxGpMuj
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeckLRw4ND
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iNMBHUZ3M
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87e54qop09
was.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7bLIAOYya
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdZj2GMK8x
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XVVqv0wCS
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lMyqvqUYz
Zoey sighed loudly in 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomRKeexjnE
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT8l6dXeWV
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8cHkbXGgD
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUSm7e6FXG
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mJp8pW6ms
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54aC8yNHwq
The two managers 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjVmjh2uU7
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKe2i8XKTn
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGohUdFFnfj
That was so not cool.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnjMJqt8sr
"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."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImfarYYwHo
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9agSIWa0X
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCLg10FNML
My ears perked up when 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvcodeaXz6
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQwT83YLs9
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCu9usmNs8
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MizwziQGj
"We heard you outside 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1QltFtxEj
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbAnpp5aLM
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiJli1ksa7
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6i6daHRdm
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yVMcec9u5
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI314TQKoIf
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgbxrrdXcT
through further scrutiny about this decision."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHG1bVYJKF
I smiled. Even if they 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrewBwVHqxx
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7a0ooPE1i
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalGOx9FwZ7
There was an exciting 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPLEoLHKfQ
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0fqQA8vX8
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGGTCEsJmu
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcfEh0qhZI
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLBXP3wNAa
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpe2swjS4l
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCPwSYRg3z
I turned to my other 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetUmo3zPsi
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxkxfkkjgk
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN10YYBffX1
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbFuupqoev
now, didn't matter.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8ZCBA1Y1r
"You heard them when 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kRUcjtsCy
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeLMW55lqp
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf2UkLas1l
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboCaOogjiR
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkoaZ2dw8Q
"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.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y7VOCAbmX
This time it was me, or I1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdjnpeZY9R
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEyfyNX9pX
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SDi3S1Qkm
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl1Onws9We
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguV1Gda5O6
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKIluoyOPq
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa99iXkWQf3
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl9gcviBFv
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDt6W4mIOq
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQup1DsHY1
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ziPPy4og4
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjIGQswpch
"We all agree," said Daniel.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcri5MzNzm
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtIXtlqv1w
"But just because it 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39vuu3nCwz
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG7tb03lEB
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM6SveMRrR
"Okay, so that's settled1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUEWsrM7FN
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeZz51Qq7y
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy9ifQDPY8
BTW official."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2czNvDAalm
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tBn5B5z6T
I noticed that most of 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ptfMXs2Xw
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR3EPKcLav
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLlDBi2VI8
when she looked at me and I grinned.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMqSYM8q3n
"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."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZuYI9crde
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZdILwE9ym
"Before we make BTW 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmYDABZDt9
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7VvfZqyOw
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB8zH9sXZY
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoTcJDo12P
low for a while. Is that good?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjLr8GOERS
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIZFIOwIcc
"That's fair enough," 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeowSo6Wr3R
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ej8SRA5F5
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhIBjz1bJe
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV6JEcY0E3
so."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn9tx2dSXz
"So you want to crush 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDixiy1saXj
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa25xom0tuj
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s6epS8DbC
strategy."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnxv2rEihi
"Then if all is well and1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4LuAQVARA
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFBM4RJFUD
updated and not a word on social media."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSpmFlUQGB
I stood up from my seat 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKTFpmdyas
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxdi39R988
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTamDpVmNhv
walk out, I stopped them.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTkqNYLHrG
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qpHxwMJtC
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9paN4pdcPR
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeITTsY6kIg
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBo0fcLGAj
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIjLo7s9TR
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY6cdKCeD6
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BiPIcVXU2
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxgzOx9lSR
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYKHFq1dBW
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8Ji5kCJwg
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBoDC9rFCQ
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyvxcajHPM
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2cI9ebhJT
"This is like the best 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEVMHKGCbM
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArZiCZrUCv
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm3phSzZRz
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYcmlPI3TW
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjwllXEIBQ
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEz7ETgpdX
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRQSnGF6xi
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvZK6P303b
"I knew there was a 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx5YHVf6Oq
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1vnXg9JsB
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJZQBMt7wp
G-Dragon.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayutPoW0vF
"You knew?" Christine asked.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrzEf708Ad
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfBeLUDM1E
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXNI1wLPQb
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrUBcF4Sqn
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEuL0E6kTn
"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.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO05SNLyQJ
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG9m4Ikuts
"Well, you guys can tell1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLT70Guzu3
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJV2HTHRLu
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XAOmX0rFv
aren't going to go into the same car."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPhtGCaG8C
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9EOnxVyhf
Everyone else started to1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhIzFTgc2l
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvmEBxBrEm
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j6Ik8Yp6P
only G-Dragon and I.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6F5fcowGu
"I'm mad at you," I started.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaX5prqZa3
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjQQwhsv1Z
"Save it." I held my 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfao31bcGDD
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEmzhOxb4l
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ntJ27O7DS
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3IyHg12e6
a war again."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoiTRCilpq
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXX1RzsTnU
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT6QwVRISj
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9uoTnN35a
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGwtiJXefc
G-Dragon looked at me 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkPnnlJzAw
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTFWh2cyPR
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOT7B7XA1c
stab in the heart.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk6OV1pOfr
"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."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBoIZ2S1sp
"You know, the others 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimsOAEkqkp
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEIQeWnCIP
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3URdIvDjEu
with WINNER yesterday."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKhOAAFB9K
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ81AljsutT
I nodded my head. What I1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1716yMvKO
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXUJbwMS6a
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMZzD6895T
of Seunghoon and I.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyLUQlq942
"You know you and I can 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCpPWbQ2C0
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xAgna9DDT
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnUCZZfNqK
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUzV7mP4Pv
down the rocks."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahoVSAlX2v
I headed for the door 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ivntBKRKv
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEdyalBGg7
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR0z9AmCIw
Zoey, waiting.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFMPBMPmTK
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBmgLVotSz
"I sure hope so," I said1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCrsmM1lEh
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcphhsvWfQ
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UMQIQSSui
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpEYvoJisZ
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSQ8sbrkQc
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VKduEECAR
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnKMRqwAMj
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxve4RKpu8
"You know computers are 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54cL5NbKQh
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jTUcoWwSA
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV8YMUySrc
supposed to."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyKsLMxQ7A
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqWe8nMOOi
I smiled. "You always call me that."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEgoGgO9KH
"Ya, because you're smart too."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Arwjkkg2n
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxUreUX3KO
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyiRUCHMZz
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K8XOjJyhj
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiRRPzZ5qY
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZkpyH7TIa
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
