Lee's P.O.V700Please respect copyright.PENANACbstyHajI3
I was so tired as I sat 700Please respect copyright.PENANAV8Rr63urK6
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHyE3vx108V
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7lbYSeHJZO
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2Dp2dILDOV
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAxXNmKGlkVl
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.700Please respect copyright.PENANAOA5VTxi0Oz
The past two days have 700Please respect copyright.PENANAinK1IzwBPg
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 700Please respect copyright.PENANAn9FS9C9mZL
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFfNs3eUefO
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being700Please respect copyright.PENANABLlNdYfMFb
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJeoBJDjnmH
complain.700Please respect copyright.PENANA11VGGcNyms
Why should I complain? 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1X4mWcOoi
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when700Please respect copyright.PENANAvIkLpmk0mO
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5kuW54VM7u
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.700Please respect copyright.PENANASIkqjJGpLS
I really love my job. 700Please respect copyright.PENANA59TSMQpkV6
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.700Please respect copyright.PENANA4wSnx88AzK
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 700Please respect copyright.PENANAwzz63ERzHd
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.700Please respect copyright.PENANAPKwZCGNbcF
Collins is strict and 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPMSIunySIw
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAldrJne0kGe
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 700Please respect copyright.PENANA2FafbG2lCf
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only700Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ2Px2Bint
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set700Please respect copyright.PENANADm0Bv18eSL
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 700Please respect copyright.PENANAUMSczKnVQa
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends700Please respect copyright.PENANAdZoXRP8y2D
over the years.700Please respect copyright.PENANAvTyCtfTvjU
And another reason I 700Please respect copyright.PENANApb4OuFmhKP
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected700Please respect copyright.PENANAC4hSTeGvfq
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 700Please respect copyright.PENANA72MauAm46q
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 700Please respect copyright.PENANAMzvOPKmwLT
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 700Please respect copyright.PENANAArMIMigDd6
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 700Please respect copyright.PENANAE6Y36smW3w
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4bkD6UaY5m
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAB0sNkfjTb0
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's700Please respect copyright.PENANAdjbVjLo1yd
how they have managed to make it this far.700Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ2sovCrEG
As I remained seated and700Please respect copyright.PENANAQjhbUjkjsh
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much700Please respect copyright.PENANAKlmKthkxL1
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 700Please respect copyright.PENANA3e6gcBKZNA
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANAgqgBamgBI4
like that at all.700Please respect copyright.PENANAv9KL9ltHHY
Not that I'm acting like700Please respect copyright.PENANAI9U6JI2kZw
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQCCLKpUrDe
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 700Please respect copyright.PENANA6OsiImwIZf
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbZqTaMAO0S
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to700Please respect copyright.PENANAavk6BvQO0U
help in any way I can.700Please respect copyright.PENANAGHx0HSZGCD
I looked at the time on 700Please respect copyright.PENANAWAbAKveY4u
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmgjJxdiiu9
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.700Please respect copyright.PENANAJcgJJHshKH
I quickly grabbed my 700Please respect copyright.PENANAyHibpfnzIU
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 700Please respect copyright.PENANAky82TgY9tC
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.700Please respect copyright.PENANAXBWUOjVnRs
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.700Please respect copyright.PENANATPiLWQJRVv
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."700Please respect copyright.PENANA2u4PCNmrAU
"Ya, we're done with practise."700Please respect copyright.PENANA7gmvATAlxl
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.700Please respect copyright.PENANATcRKDmcqPk
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAA82zZWBGrM
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."700Please respect copyright.PENANAtqCW3i2lKz
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAYWQF3q2LHR
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."700Please respect copyright.PENANApNDwIA4kup
Whatever ounce of 700Please respect copyright.PENANAtfOsmKED9f
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 700Please respect copyright.PENANA8jHN6DOfBH
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously700Please respect copyright.PENANAtT2Sw8mXdw
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.700Please respect copyright.PENANAqm8UDh8PM9
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmb2QkUx7jY
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."700Please respect copyright.PENANABRNovLl2WQ
I sighed as I leaned back on my chair again. "I guess if you're with TOP it's fine. But you should've informed me first."700Please respect copyright.PENANAf6lSzfj3I7
"Is Collins with you?"700Please respect copyright.PENANACInGZKVAHo
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."700Please respect copyright.PENANAfMtmtvWFOD
"Good. I've something else to tell you."700Please respect copyright.PENANAP1tQyfXm9T
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAWpxo1opI33
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."700Please respect copyright.PENANAoBd0ot32CF
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."700Please respect copyright.PENANAUeLF9d76TU
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."700Please respect copyright.PENANA0nKcHciPuH
"Tell me then," I insisted.700Please respect copyright.PENANAE0I1eOfGE9
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."700Please respect copyright.PENANAdRuFGI2vID
"Did you and TOP kiss?"700Please respect copyright.PENANA8y6jzEDVcW
"What! No! No way!"700Please respect copyright.PENANA3o2Mo8IgoE
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."700Please respect copyright.PENANAkko3kIYu9i
"What makes you think that?"700Please respect copyright.PENANACvo7lhfWhn
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."700Please respect copyright.PENANAbTI7oozPGb
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."700Please respect copyright.PENANARXSlvAC7LB
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"700Please respect copyright.PENANARyYnEKJS0E
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.700Please respect copyright.PENANAXwkj2C1xiE
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."700Please respect copyright.PENANACMZfYVZ6MQ
"Try me, Sam. I've been 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4tAEwEXyoH
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ3KkFXIPV
on that I won't be surprised this time around."700Please respect copyright.PENANARkyXePZgAn
"No, Lee, this time it's different."700Please respect copyright.PENANAE9ntjWEYPa
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."700Please respect copyright.PENANA0CI7pJUB2J
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."700Please respect copyright.PENANAbrK1F1CWvk
Before Sam could say 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZYw07kv0p4
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 700Please respect copyright.PENANAVyTtYL3Qag
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 700Please respect copyright.PENANADQoqBFjNJf
quickly realised that it wasn't.700Please respect copyright.PENANA6R8UZtfKjo
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.700Please respect copyright.PENANACi3Q4aKqlF
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.700Please respect copyright.PENANAHZixTkPPsu
"What the what! Sam! 700Please respect copyright.PENANAk5AHME60IJ
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeazjF30ZGf
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVFKteJpTYm
"Wait, hold on, give me a700Please respect copyright.PENANAkPrPYMdYa1
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeZxtHprAqP
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAYPWsUncepg
tell you."700Please respect copyright.PENANAi12ZoWB7y4
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAG4E9X8xYyN
"Seunghoon from WINNER."700Please respect copyright.PENANAufAuhkSCT7
I thought the world 700Please respect copyright.PENANAxfzzkpYTvE
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt700Please respect copyright.PENANA65qcUpsswG
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.700Please respect copyright.PENANAaplLgIF4KK
"Sam, I'm going to faint700Please respect copyright.PENANA99owrfcPa8
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPsuQavRRRr
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3XZo126ks
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."700Please respect copyright.PENANAa88wBg9BZZ
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."700Please respect copyright.PENANAdGwXVAKwhT
"I know, but I've a plan."700Please respect copyright.PENANAEVNTVoGbE1
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAiafk9wMT4Y
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."700Please respect copyright.PENANAGH3H6aUE3V
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ1EhGxini
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."700Please respect copyright.PENANAJZsIJE5bVx
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."700Please respect copyright.PENANADKAT9UU6FP
"Or you can just join in700Please respect copyright.PENANAeBBgqfEs7G
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 700Please respect copyright.PENANAXIpKZSTqZR
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."700Please respect copyright.PENANAvYa3ComPKQ
"Okay, I'll be there. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAIxBPwi9QPd
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 700Please respect copyright.PENANAff7agePGnz
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 700Please respect copyright.PENANASHjEhgeOAF
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAx9Zv49Bo6C
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."700Please respect copyright.PENANArZi64vH3Fr
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."700Please respect copyright.PENANAXsr7W64cn8
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."700Please respect copyright.PENANAkASV2pirZZ
"Alright, I'm on my way."700Please respect copyright.PENANAsv9yOljoSX
I quickly cut the call 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKW0mp7cw8h
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 700Please respect copyright.PENANAqGKC5pKz4a
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 700Please respect copyright.PENANAfu3zNi9jCm
the trending list, I was a little confused.700Please respect copyright.PENANAPZTKiEyqoc
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.700Please respect copyright.PENANAj3quvEuFEK
***700Please respect copyright.PENANAyaAmLnuqxH
Sam's P.O.V700Please respect copyright.PENANAPzC0nVLk4B
I700Please respect copyright.PENANAg60FdvbinU
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 700Please respect copyright.PENANAzB1bPeSoo9
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbmakyRfsya
the fans.700Please respect copyright.PENANASlbzGN2VbA
Since700Please respect copyright.PENANAhqLDwBlGk9
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 700Please respect copyright.PENANAc4dd4i3y8v
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhncCRLspBy
massive Times Square complex.700Please respect copyright.PENANAh7FdB3mKRk
So700Please respect copyright.PENANAMJq0MvfOlh
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAN8sakdihj0
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 700Please respect copyright.PENANAYaMDPhfNvY
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 700Please respect copyright.PENANAksrApydynV
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 700Please respect copyright.PENANAlWaWFUKGz0
serious.700Please respect copyright.PENANAUaoye2g56e
"It's700Please respect copyright.PENANAbayTXb7w9c
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 700Please respect copyright.PENANAr1VLwYobtO
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 700Please respect copyright.PENANAYlyIbh4V0Y
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."700Please respect copyright.PENANAFumTl8QfGN
I700Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5wdO353i2
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 700Please respect copyright.PENANAlvVNexOlb8
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 700Please respect copyright.PENANANzYEWFLY2Q
somewhat worrying.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdWs5aGimhK
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."700Please respect copyright.PENANAKUkmMxEQPN
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzZohLml3tU
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."700Please respect copyright.PENANAeCOVBMAdHb
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.700Please respect copyright.PENANA2wKKFHDYMI
"You're right. I do."700Please respect copyright.PENANABQnYByrerB
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.700Please respect copyright.PENANAsofr13jKOv
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."700Please respect copyright.PENANAO3THCXG1Ku
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.700Please respect copyright.PENANAOHTZ94l5o2
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.700Please respect copyright.PENANAu3Ia0bp0C9
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANA3sIfr7i8o5
"You're700Please respect copyright.PENANAy70T7XxNOO
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5ye2JVAgQ1
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 700Please respect copyright.PENANAP3y4OYf8qc
around here."700Please respect copyright.PENANAONQGns0tG5
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.700Please respect copyright.PENANAceo27BNWqB
"Who said we need to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJTzst8GAyJ
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAxnZCS5qFIo
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."700Please respect copyright.PENANADL9CPmdHdn
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."700Please respect copyright.PENANAbtyxOEfyxj
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmcbBvJYdZ0
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.700Please respect copyright.PENANAWAMayFbCUM
"Where?" Zoey asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANAGFDSTNtoNf
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAsgjkQeVevq
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.700Please respect copyright.PENANAAiKKAN0Xl9
"Wait, a minute!" I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQoPgxgPqPY
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhN61S5T8oq
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."700Please respect copyright.PENANA6URf1lFLeM
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.700Please respect copyright.PENANAbv7da6tuyZ
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"700Please respect copyright.PENANABBsiEJMVKM
"Did someone just say 700Please respect copyright.PENANAf0rbV7GYWS
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbvyz1pIGIc
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAcB9jzCd6uH
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAFHu6FmdruZ
"You're doing that thing700Please respect copyright.PENANAuHwQiVWQQv
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 700Please respect copyright.PENANASc8nsw2yfZ
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."700Please respect copyright.PENANAp0g8Ctsmwh
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."700Please respect copyright.PENANAwBJhAtmYFr
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."700Please respect copyright.PENANAlSSg7JVtud
"Ya, true," said Mike.700Please respect copyright.PENANAsMgLlDVBNU
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"700Please respect copyright.PENANACYe7q9k389
"I'm not going to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAO8InIYzwvB
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and700Please respect copyright.PENANA3c2kCoqv3g
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."700Please respect copyright.PENANA58oAHHp3rm
"No, I'm scared that 700Please respect copyright.PENANALS8mXqOMdb
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 700Please respect copyright.PENANAK6k8ezdJF6
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.700Please respect copyright.PENANATrhWjflp4y
I looked at Zoey, then 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeX4J9TlvA4
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAYxBIMBfXdi
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6gkOAH8tk
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready700Please respect copyright.PENANAwGPgQB2Y2s
for that bumpy ride again.700Please respect copyright.PENANApUz3xuISyw
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.700Please respect copyright.PENANAUODMuhuXMJ
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.700Please respect copyright.PENANATiI2dT9YaB
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.700Please respect copyright.PENANAjBTLL45Si1
Daniel's mouth gaped 700Please respect copyright.PENANATXAGtaArGL
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 700Please respect copyright.PENANAzv867oOrPw
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"700Please respect copyright.PENANApg8Iw314gk
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."700Please respect copyright.PENANA8n23cjdj7U
"Well, I think we can 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHs8SZCJBeA
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so700Please respect copyright.PENANAijRCTmazox
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."700Please respect copyright.PENANAV3KO0KPPhX
"Same here," said Mino.700Please respect copyright.PENANAlSHbo6dMRh
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAC8ORUKhUVq
Everyone including me 700Please respect copyright.PENANAMvi2GiufuK
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7LHRQyp93E
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 700Please respect copyright.PENANAZXJrL4mpzX
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in700Please respect copyright.PENANAfQiHwS5iLE
Times Square.700Please respect copyright.PENANAh9Z7QTiqec
"There's an open food 700Please respect copyright.PENANADU2qGGpvnO
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 700Please respect copyright.PENANAEgTAPSDr7Q
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.700Please respect copyright.PENANAg9Ib5EnRKo
"Gosh, I've now realised700Please respect copyright.PENANAuOYgw347ZX
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 700Please respect copyright.PENANAm8aYpuUAEn
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.700Please respect copyright.PENANAapy9sruDri
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdlanPqGvRh
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."700Please respect copyright.PENANAyunzZ1N04O
"No wonder you Toxins 700Please respect copyright.PENANAtDlJtPsOvL
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 700Please respect copyright.PENANAOHJ4vdgUSN
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."700Please respect copyright.PENANAO3oO7cXGzX
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmTiuu6q8v7
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."700Please respect copyright.PENANAIxSN7K4PMm
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."700Please respect copyright.PENANABMNTsjlaAp
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.700Please respect copyright.PENANAdsYGZH0CYQ
Zoey, Christine and the 700Please respect copyright.PENANA9rojK96VEP
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 700Please respect copyright.PENANAcW5yRD6Sly
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 700Please respect copyright.PENANApgoFyOcw1p
going.700Please respect copyright.PENANAQdXr9eRWiU
"That's insulting," said Jennie.700Please respect copyright.PENANAeVaA6dAZM9
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.700Please respect copyright.PENANAoGPMdeIhKx
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."700Please respect copyright.PENANACENntx6dHz
I burst out laughing 700Please respect copyright.PENANAyc2PusRADt
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmgqXPD3aSV
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAm3cguwvQg4
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAEis9ufFGKO
other floors because that would surly be something.700Please respect copyright.PENANAQJwgyIUDV3
"Good one, TOP," said 700Please respect copyright.PENANAhyew6UOmZu
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 700Please respect copyright.PENANAcs1Tr0koYL
have thought of that in a million years."700Please respect copyright.PENANAtAi09qsQY6
Everyone continued to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHD8n7p64dl
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 700Please respect copyright.PENANAiNHhucQ5X4
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 700Please respect copyright.PENANAsGnQ8yMJ4o
how annoyed she was.700Please respect copyright.PENANAu3Lbjb9m1k
"I can't believe you 700Please respect copyright.PENANAUaoOzFmQXu
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAcZLJEUWBGj
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."700Please respect copyright.PENANAdvbRMtb6Xk
"Don't worry, Zoey," 700Please respect copyright.PENANAW97vWwl0Do
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a700Please respect copyright.PENANA3IZziSAeXw
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."700Please respect copyright.PENANAlO1zg1kf7c
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."700Please respect copyright.PENANATR43d8l7e0
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."700Please respect copyright.PENANA57J8qlU2gx
"I'll sting him so bad, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAM0ZCWvt6QO
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at700Please respect copyright.PENANAWtkRVq4ZV9
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.700Please respect copyright.PENANAjCu8nrUMBi
"Oh, look, a stage," 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1uesJJOqm8
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from700Please respect copyright.PENANAJHpgG15O34
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.700Please respect copyright.PENANAXLMXtb5elO
In the direction Daniel 700Please respect copyright.PENANA0XjWojHje1
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 700Please respect copyright.PENANAIgkBrM204c
there and get up on it. We all followed him.700Please respect copyright.PENANAXclf07VkM4
"I've missed being on 700Please respect copyright.PENANAtVKA3EpC90
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 700Please respect copyright.PENANA0l2jTceCZa
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.700Please respect copyright.PENANAUbUMreLSuP
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.700Please respect copyright.PENANAUm9Nff7hz3
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.700Please respect copyright.PENANAG6IYgjntpp
"We're just having fun,"700Please respect copyright.PENANAhd2OCRZsd3
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.700Please respect copyright.PENANAKLYievMXwE
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 700Please respect copyright.PENANA9XfkZPPABv
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHn8M2STXZJ
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5D0IY6Hgu8
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.700Please respect copyright.PENANACRPAy6dh9b
The rest of us down the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAgiMN5DsTsQ
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 700Please respect copyright.PENANAER4b0bhn3s
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1SeacXkd3d
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 700Please respect copyright.PENANAUQRrZkURo7
side of him was a shocker.700Please respect copyright.PENANA529cu3xzbC
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."700Please respect copyright.PENANAXSbXB62H9k
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.700Please respect copyright.PENANAu2SCKGRtzI
"Mum would be so proud,"700Please respect copyright.PENANAKC9Y2LVdRl
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 700Please respect copyright.PENANAjcwJHM9W49
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."700Please respect copyright.PENANA5zUgqUrSJF
"Haha, very funny," said700Please respect copyright.PENANAwuDMwVeNA9
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5lyrYRoJ0p
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAwYuVm123wq
I looked at Mike and he 700Please respect copyright.PENANAcI84lJCf4j
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAGocMzGGjqw
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAo3UefVTLPP
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."700Please respect copyright.PENANAV8CVJESriH
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."700Please respect copyright.PENANAqyPH0nvRvB
"I'm still not going to 700Please respect copyright.PENANA6EgYMk4rJx
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHAlxVFFQKv
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."700Please respect copyright.PENANAKacRrmUESU
"I'll join you then," said Mino as he walked up on stage and then turned around to look at Zoey offering his hand to led her up.700Please respect copyright.PENANAQuQGbGU3SN
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANA0Uz5ZRDkm1
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.700Please respect copyright.PENANA1tg6x3s0pZ
"No," she said still not700Please respect copyright.PENANAZUWgXnZe5f
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKGRfWlhddM
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."700Please respect copyright.PENANAkzRh882n0E
Everyone turned to look 700Please respect copyright.PENANA3vVBgYmi5N
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 700Please respect copyright.PENANA8SX7PiUzF6
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 700Please respect copyright.PENANAGveWAFoleY
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 700Please respect copyright.PENANAiKtLpzxa4y
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger700Please respect copyright.PENANAEPFpY92Nrm
was to sweet talk her somehow.700Please respect copyright.PENANA5EZbHsTHAy
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."700Please respect copyright.PENANAEDo59k6vNV
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.700Please respect copyright.PENANAgSHhWOdW8U
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzg7l6wQEXC
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAJvX7g9ObSQ
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVgl7MeDEXI
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."700Please respect copyright.PENANAJHVG8RtMSm
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.700Please respect copyright.PENANAs9SpT1kLhq
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.700Please respect copyright.PENANAswuepQ47Bv
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.700Please respect copyright.PENANAtELN21cu9x
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.700Please respect copyright.PENANAlWoi4psGj9
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.700Please respect copyright.PENANAEHQ0hE90pi
I snapped my fingers 700Please respect copyright.PENANATX13XemhtQ
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 700Please respect copyright.PENANAp9f0avvVcn
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.700Please respect copyright.PENANATn7eDUmBnP
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAsE3rIcArmM
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.700Please respect copyright.PENANAaaZrz6GZFz
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 700Please respect copyright.PENANAnyVwoo1tPx
Lisa: You're sweet like 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmYeEPEGDpN
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]700Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ks3YRQmOY
Jennie: You're sweet like 700Please respect copyright.PENANAM7eEQVqrMD
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4X7MshcbBO
We all ended up giving a700Please respect copyright.PENANAqLVtwifP34
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 700Please respect copyright.PENANA6zIlJXtv3y
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 700Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZUmR9ZU8v
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 700Please respect copyright.PENANAXVLnnHkG09
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1cjptFFNBB
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.700Please respect copyright.PENANAIvfMDoUxHc
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.700Please respect copyright.PENANAkzFbWn2vQp
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.700Please respect copyright.PENANA7A41oWgH6I
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.700Please respect copyright.PENANAWXrwiEJbTr
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.700Please respect copyright.PENANAl7Y5kgoNdP
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVclfF8IHj2
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.700Please respect copyright.PENANA05vRyeSv7F
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.700Please respect copyright.PENANAAiuuNdyM7F
Im a fan all day.700Please respect copyright.PENANAfJstHHYk0w
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.700Please respect copyright.PENANAKSAQzH0WAf
My manage behavior; Im into your major.700Please respect copyright.PENANA8aBJD9fkyg
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.700Please respect copyright.PENANAEv3Vc8ttLW
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:700Please respect copyright.PENANA7a39IClBfD
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.700Please respect copyright.PENANAxEGRaXATPD
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.700Please respect copyright.PENANA4HeYMJdy1q
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.700Please respect copyright.PENANAQdmyIiWvbq
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 700Please respect copyright.PENANADQBP1Pam5v
The three couples on 700Please respect copyright.PENANADzQ1r90IJZ
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And700Please respect copyright.PENANAHr80WhO5U3
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 700Please respect copyright.PENANABC3QIhfmqt
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAWr9CZ4ymVY
three couples surrounding me in a circle.700Please respect copyright.PENANAnx17zPKt9r
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]700Please respect copyright.PENANAF4vxXM00Ls
This candy got you sprung [x2]700Please respect copyright.PENANA233Zt7dToI
So call me your sugar [x2]700Please respect copyright.PENANAFc3u0TO8k2
You love you some [x2]700Please respect copyright.PENANAqC9ZsnzJSg

All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 700Please respect copyright.PENANANnIuyXFjfh
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]700Please respect copyright.PENANAUqqFHbCY9n
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di700Please respect copyright.PENANAyxSKtcTnIl
Sugar700Please respect copyright.PENANAFesYKLIreK
Seunghoon came up on 700Please respect copyright.PENANAn4ooGrOdBD
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 700Please respect copyright.PENANAkq6RjuJK26
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.700Please respect copyright.PENANAPc7FnUqnlA
Down stage, Seungyoon 700Please respect copyright.PENANAPDwTtPAReW
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a700Please respect copyright.PENANAf5BRLYNs2F
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 700Please respect copyright.PENANAjG6kP9ErCN
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 700Please respect copyright.PENANAK68DwChDxB
all did that simultaneously was awesome.700Please respect copyright.PENANAvGD8pyLH8f
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.700Please respect copyright.PENANAY3XMr8iJ3N
All: My lips like sugar (x2)700Please respect copyright.PENANAiGmRyisbqW
This candy got you sprung (x2)700Please respect copyright.PENANAyytlctxeNl
So call me your sugar (x2)700Please respect copyright.PENANAihMQMDCysJ

I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 700Please respect copyright.PENANA83GuDMeUlh
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di700Please respect copyright.PENANAbGsOmeYXEU
Sugar 700Please respect copyright.PENANArjRXgpp3Bq
I700Please respect copyright.PENANA8mYaPtIn2H
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 700Please respect copyright.PENANAWKCemFgR8h
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 700Please respect copyright.PENANAq7p6DjWC2f
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 700Please respect copyright.PENANAiUqBVcYp27
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAWbsRdLXkaz
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzPPZ8he5xq
Onlookers700Please respect copyright.PENANAMYxqMKRQVE
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 700Please respect copyright.PENANA1uVERo4dVY
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 700Please respect copyright.PENANAWZbEofSSWW
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.700Please respect copyright.PENANAolSka4133U
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.700Please respect copyright.PENANADtf5pJGfXz
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.700Please respect copyright.PENANApfv9V0Y32v
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.700Please respect copyright.PENANADypTZ09snU
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.700Please respect copyright.PENANAHFq8WpWYTE
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.700Please respect copyright.PENANAga3gjOmsqY
"Ya, we really should," I answered.700Please respect copyright.PENANANsUa3FxQNy
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.700Please respect copyright.PENANAzoIUYg3Ooy
"Take a bow," I said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAidqUWgUZto
Zoey who stood next to 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHAOAcP1Yjq
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 700Please respect copyright.PENANAmXYAiMGHCr
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took700Please respect copyright.PENANA9kcKaWfiDD
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down700Please respect copyright.PENANANEPYTWRckN
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 700Please respect copyright.PENANAp9sBTYxRwO
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.700Please respect copyright.PENANAqBqS8CVEUA
"Well, this just got 700Please respect copyright.PENANArQrCXhGfWL
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 700Please respect copyright.PENANALtaD7qP9up
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.700Please respect copyright.PENANAyhnxrHSNQP
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."700Please respect copyright.PENANAXZqiDvycvc
The way Mike said it 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHGkxffCjWA
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAvSzeTQbrr5
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHYZgkxWZi7
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.700Please respect copyright.PENANA1M3N85sX37
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.700Please respect copyright.PENANAuujsoWE50I
When I got down from the700Please respect copyright.PENANAc6Y2Gk51el
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAeN2qsy87y0
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in700Please respect copyright.PENANAofUff1uXNP
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I700Please respect copyright.PENANA8PHyMABa5Z
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.700Please respect copyright.PENANAStNIRzmfU7
"Well, you guys sure 700Please respect copyright.PENANAO1IYBxzlVz
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 700Please respect copyright.PENANAthy9kv9E8t
had to warn the security before I could even get here."700Please respect copyright.PENANA80QGlMNLdV
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.700Please respect copyright.PENANAANGVoUo39i
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't700Please respect copyright.PENANAJB8Pb5C1Aw
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 700Please respect copyright.PENANA7UjNVW9hD6
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAZSclwsNCG5
"We just missed you, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAJv4QpDTJyQ
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually700Please respect copyright.PENANASm8jgYSu4W
with us but these past days you haven't."700Please respect copyright.PENANA437ahyG5pu
"You're right and I miss all of you too. Been caught up with work. And now, you have all given me a much bigger mess to clean."700Please respect copyright.PENANAuiLCMewUde
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.700Please respect copyright.PENANAsazxNMJBn6
"He would've called by 700Please respect copyright.PENANAvcZwg9ZMeU
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHCfViOLb7V
no calls from the grim reapers yet."700Please respect copyright.PENANAcqWXExJBtk
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.700Please respect copyright.PENANADjlAshuDyP
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"700Please respect copyright.PENANANhjq6eAZ4R
Immediately Lee focused 700Please respect copyright.PENANAC1vuhAqSJK
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone700Please respect copyright.PENANAfOW1J1BdTJ
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 700Please respect copyright.PENANAHRFHFmXKnx
couldn't blame them.700Please respect copyright.PENANAfsSx9mN1jH
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.700Please respect copyright.PENANAc2jFX3mh8q
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAb5wJBHhqxp
"How700Please respect copyright.PENANAXK70FlpHbU
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked700Please respect copyright.PENANA1MylsjT7fX
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into700Please respect copyright.PENANAr4A9MA4BZo
your own dance hall."700Please respect copyright.PENANApaLfgnyBdx
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."700Please respect copyright.PENANAwiU1BeMTTY
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"700Please respect copyright.PENANACS5ONvd0yG
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.700Please respect copyright.PENANAIIZG1wLDio
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....700Please respect copyright.PENANArrhtriQtQP
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.700Please respect copyright.PENANAsK9ykhDrZ7
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYkbp6iNGhZ
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.700Please respect copyright.PENANAs7rpfeQrWo
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."700Please respect copyright.PENANAaSGMSnkD6M
"No,700Please respect copyright.PENANAbBosuN5RuB
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 700Please respect copyright.PENANALHY5JPqkyp
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell700Please respect copyright.PENANAHaxFZwVfRB
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"700Please respect copyright.PENANA99CcB8abOK
"That would have been nice," said Mike with a stupid grin on his face. I threw him a look and the smile fell right away.700Please respect copyright.PENANAwbYramOcMx
"No, we met them today," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Seunghoon and looked at him. "You hid in the girl's closet?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAObAX6EeHxK
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.700Please respect copyright.PENANAPlVZy2c2OP
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.700Please respect copyright.PENANAGnxr63yWPs
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.700Please respect copyright.PENANAbQW6IU0nZs
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.700Please respect copyright.PENANAwnSXdWXdyc
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.700Please respect copyright.PENANAfZCGQPdi57
I700Please respect copyright.PENANAoKX4nzkYhX
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFUuGMfZQjy
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 700Please respect copyright.PENANAVId10bgYgy
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it700Please respect copyright.PENANAUKBliEKIfE
was a lot to take in.700Please respect copyright.PENANAhMxVjLEUEb
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."700Please respect copyright.PENANA4aUgQxH7Z9
"That's700Please respect copyright.PENANA7FfFJOsYcE
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 700Please respect copyright.PENANAELJgM0KPvh
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 700Please respect copyright.PENANAvNUfTUhi5B
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 700Please respect copyright.PENANAn6XdlsxkM8
still find out anyway."700Please respect copyright.PENANAlMup58i04g
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."700Please respect copyright.PENANAFFlxhFmpst
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.700Please respect copyright.PENANATnaD3RkwzW
Everyone700Please respect copyright.PENANAFUPyM3bDUI
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 700Please respect copyright.PENANAYung4jRTPq
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 700Please respect copyright.PENANAW9yoQNgJkx
somehow the anxiety was killing me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAWEXk8CKcVN
After700Please respect copyright.PENANAzNklxIINlv
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan700Please respect copyright.PENANAWRPT4XbfO4
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the700Please respect copyright.PENANAtdbWhhjzEQ
food court when Lee asked:700Please respect copyright.PENANAEByiYHBkwx
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"700Please respect copyright.PENANAMqkcna6WzH
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAnYOT3NADg3
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.700Please respect copyright.PENANA2s6xo4OA31
"You700Please respect copyright.PENANAu7lwclOMxn
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 700Please respect copyright.PENANAQ488Hs4cBR
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 700Please respect copyright.PENANAAmDLZjXUgb
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."700Please respect copyright.PENANA1gGXcwE7aM
"I700Please respect copyright.PENANAt3b36rwGSW
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 700Please respect copyright.PENANAMQGxmwMWJo
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 700Please respect copyright.PENANAMUVRGlUKOW
okay."700Please respect copyright.PENANAmkSt6tSskH
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.700Please respect copyright.PENANAumdOn3qd9l
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."700Please respect copyright.PENANAvJBmIIAvSD
"You700Please respect copyright.PENANAvwlXHokVu7
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 700Please respect copyright.PENANAG0QzQavyD1
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 700Please respect copyright.PENANAe7KuIujjBf
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 700Please respect copyright.PENANAO5qFpJipIp
don't know up to now."700Please respect copyright.PENANAYq0Zafsq83
"BTW700Please respect copyright.PENANARFEwiKlRmv
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I700Please respect copyright.PENANAI3wio4xdku
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 700Please respect copyright.PENANArQXmP3qAQF
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 700Please respect copyright.PENANAbW34KHTkQL
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."700Please respect copyright.PENANAjDC4a6mos3
"I700Please respect copyright.PENANA7hr9TyLlwx
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 700Please respect copyright.PENANAM3ALFWCADB
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAteZFoJmdcd
normal human perspective."700Please respect copyright.PENANAnb7Ze96LTB
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."700Please respect copyright.PENANArgClUDOHFr
"I think she is," said TOP.700Please respect copyright.PENANAFdX6Djxv9F
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.700Please respect copyright.PENANAxiWLPhBx0a
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.700Please respect copyright.PENANAM6meLhNEB5
Zoey700Please respect copyright.PENANAXvOVuP8if4
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 700Please respect copyright.PENANAd4ZNgJx71v
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVe6IPfCJHF
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"700Please respect copyright.PENANASRGuibLTrY
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.700Please respect copyright.PENANAtnG0roFI2B
Before700Please respect copyright.PENANAN0m6jhhNwG
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she700Please respect copyright.PENANANCKRAvjt32
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 700Please respect copyright.PENANAvA5kO4BC2M
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.700Please respect copyright.PENANAscxm66I7P6
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.700Please respect copyright.PENANAYT2jPzvCzp
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.700Please respect copyright.PENANAJp1kE0Pkxd
The700Please respect copyright.PENANAz3IpjJjUWQ
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 700Please respect copyright.PENANAj6lkRHHIWG
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFe98YicX8r
would never stop fighting no matter what.700Please respect copyright.PENANAMCvNdPM4Gg
"I700Please respect copyright.PENANAHRvxPCrhF3
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a700Please respect copyright.PENANAPZTMK5OuOa
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 700Please respect copyright.PENANAubwfXdcphh
it's full of drama too."700Please respect copyright.PENANApJy7waSKpw
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.700Please respect copyright.PENANAv752TBnpCS
"Do700Please respect copyright.PENANA6XlUUuuo1u
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 700Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vtk88gydG
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 700Please respect copyright.PENANAjZdMOoi1MH
court.700Please respect copyright.PENANAUa1wJ3zRjJ
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."700Please respect copyright.PENANA8leYBDHM4t
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."700Please respect copyright.PENANAvCkhRPowb6
"I hope so too," said Christine.700Please respect copyright.PENANAq5cPqFcDHZ
"Come700Please respect copyright.PENANArF9p5DxaiE
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 700Please respect copyright.PENANA9bU89DvdhS
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."700Please respect copyright.PENANAAGyIQZ0Xdz
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.700Please respect copyright.PENANAFMRaFi7InU
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.700Please respect copyright.PENANA5XtS201o93
As700Please respect copyright.PENANAIWhgsz30Xm
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning700Please respect copyright.PENANADkcjO3pKjm
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 700Please respect copyright.PENANAejFvgprl8i
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 700Please respect copyright.PENANAFNjnxLdJAl
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 700Please respect copyright.PENANAKzO4LNyeAO
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.700Please respect copyright.PENANAf6RJPwWBoF
I700Please respect copyright.PENANA0MVobNkhuN
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 700Please respect copyright.PENANAw2vL46z32m
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might700Please respect copyright.PENANAL6Uk1r7Flx
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 700Please respect copyright.PENANAfgu67NSF0U
of the blue may arise.700Please respect copyright.PENANA12EwlIp09U
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
