Hanging out at Times 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWCG84LRjn
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJCDk9pst6
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPvzIcKGVk
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHleI0EVEji
But that didn't matter. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCSNMPUufU
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ820e3TtK5s
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2TZjMrzBo
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBDzjwYic0
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX6JJ16cDM
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUmANBEtqh
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxjbjICnDz
actually played around with the adorable kids.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp0SM4FzDt
There were plenty of 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpMWsHW7Hw
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rJXe5R7Zk
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN3L3uLmaY
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33KlnENvDZ
fans too.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLbbzoi6RB
The time we were done 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZgBDDCZN2
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNTYnpCkTG
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNik74KbaD
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuIxwS0GuQ
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxsk7jpwne
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM3tMa6d7J
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YbCGzwU3j
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEDGjODcH9
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShQYPg06Ia
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgzSnf8x6C
previous day, of course.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBasPffL50E
As much as the managers 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdOQdGoJr7
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIjGEKPwz0
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMX2bgUm9i
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmxhs5RlRW
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnuS7xD8QH
Right now, this very 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvncrsXAItz
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q4RO050ER
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dyxMf6zNx
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzGtSyLD8c
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFjCHNYugV
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9v1Tk7SRp
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArcPACttkK
and I just couldn't take it.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfTT01YEi3
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63rL2NK29j
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ8KOAyBAl
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceGczSxFPe
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4tKrmeUE6
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tg25tLeKK
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0TrbyOGCi
"I thought you said your plan would work."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8eI5CqXUT
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXI0abLeAz
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb8L0e7a2o
I felt like slapping my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWju5wA0ssH
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtLYaKZXuJ
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMUHLBLK5f
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznsa5NQTpY
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzueSrFDf0X
off.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4JQwmexDL
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY251RplHG
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdttqxFnB8
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh99PHPBNdo
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzyqi0Hpgm
I shrugged. She read my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv4o3sudxd
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeAYe0eDnU
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Xzd4UNJc
me the whole time."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBZX2wgBMA
I sat down on my bed as 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jc3uDdzVv
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W28YiJ9oM
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dmXTi3DBb
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPGr5EeNrD
"Gosh, you really should1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3sPXngz31
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQQOwQpdkV
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IIIqLV0a1
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptA6w0DmOF
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yN8jVx82C
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pL1vZLEnk
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxiCfYT9W2
"Mike is annoying 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mL2KQYkv2
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMtT2HIOow
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenbKcd3iiE
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ3maKJB88
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQAjRBJvom
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVftD0caM9
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVicRx29EMs
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ628g8VwnAv
"Sorry, but just so you 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPe5273HqU
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l78Jdmb6j
that pic of you and him together."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1OZMmBjXK
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHubdjWjhu
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvhnrQ62Oa
I blushed and at the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJklXQIXniv
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqVikxDHmX
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjAym2HZUr
other hidden agenda.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqLPNQOFme
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwYd83jlHy
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU9QvrZx9X
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4iExgjTbA
I sighed in surrender. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrT3wu4sO3
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKZJamDN7U
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBzJuBAknF
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0cMD00lTr
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."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvmhUEREc1
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZurLORjsA2
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8beobAdb9i
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjMqQN7tFH
Zoey had an excited look1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUxQM8d9BF
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjjcJ2vmLx
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzxsVR8Wrk
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ChbRptxDk
clearly show all over her face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGY9D6NJed
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnSI6p6bfh
I shook my head. "And?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHbbTyFN6H
Zoey folded her arms, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg40Ippqn7A
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuatEpB2GH
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFE2baLt8U
"Hold that thought. This1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROMA0G2FQc
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmjf7HUksK
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuZiZuUJ2Y
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkemGN8E0kw
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V4kSfbfqN
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu0nmQtiWt
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzuHv8hWJE
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2axarLkkVu
"Well, he hid in our closet."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO07gQEfAfN
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ0eBSK676
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm65LEBJuz
"Ya, why?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLheVxHQOwz
"Looks like we just 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f4vOfj81Z
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzFesLSZI4
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLzWNkean9
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."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbr5ViOmWs
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQjcOa12uZ
"What do you mean? You 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4Aot0a7FQ
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRIAlz56qe
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT8O6YslBB
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP8kPxCuRP
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlGSBSR4sn
"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."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gj6womDla
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFhGDJAjfv
"I wanted to but I kept 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx5PnfmPSQ
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTOiU7wMHC
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbwTm0eyY7
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI1M784SAo
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkdh18hMPy
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSR3HP9Mef
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn3iMLrm9E
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4gSczH3pZ
I quickly stood up and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ4KIf45zK
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bTDhlV46J
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHflBN8qfXW
her back.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFu7zdTy05
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlxG2kSAgX
"Zoey, you're going to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXnbHHKI8e
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeo7fNlZhK
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVJytvmkj1
own hair pink in the next ten years."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeaSPdeKHP
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol3iqfTxzX
"You're lying."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x3qnzzlHI
"I'm telling the truth!"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ842K9y7f5W
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiUjMAQzvZ
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyXva2TbuH
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49zTZLcK7N
"I can't tell you that."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC7t0kEeWm
"Why?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoDXQb2Nbd
"Because it's 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsxSg7J4qx
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggjkU7bxkH
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoo4jqowY9
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr9077Gk5C
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EZBG06kKy
"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."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LBiIarMOz
"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.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUPYchyfpM
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFv4WzHW5A
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7mgexxb1u
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYjc68OTN9
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eszfagEXC
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ACGUbyxN7
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtGmF01jYE
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0QP2f71jW
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIeEc8EBd8
I playfully rolled my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6XSwxJNaA
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qGZqVM7bC
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7GlbrQdgQ
also looked worried.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlshawig5D
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYH4f2Uq13
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uN0q70z0o
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M0BcPtt5F
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsPqptO1rZ
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmhRC6H0L2
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTma2O7ZoLl
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuGtCEPd8K
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsY2m6MUSf
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeVpV3t0z4
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7L3eVL0GZ
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xFzeIW3H4
"Okay, first of all," 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANvvA4J8BH
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTOhP8Bzod
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKoaJP5ULf
he wasn't mad at you."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeZwHvH2W4
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhYG4Dnyqr
"That, he couldn't say."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzEKBQZNhO
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fnv7295Yx
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQcz0Vqb5J
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS8SqDrXNA
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKDn6iqMgD
Christine pressed the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcTEFP2EAn
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXXnli0gnX
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieQeu5Eiz2
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSG0IANjbE
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVOA10UysF
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq50SWzPNhs
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOyD3FjANm
We got to YG right on 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK1qppcZUg
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJyGZuL1rQ
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUuczzxeXf
arrived a few seconds earlier.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjWR8xr7mB
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1uKM19Jsn
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ7JpBwask
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n9vRMF2aS
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJiZ7jry05
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbt7w30kls
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkZZAj0U7O
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9QDzrlHY2
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tgce54Yvf
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizhiee1B3h
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1wrGQqnZB
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6AqvWwlFR
"There will be no such 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwAvZNsg8i
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ5chuOyie
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9RtqYESOD
"And you're making it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNFWxM7aNK
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngXRhI5q6L
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5ocYRZvIR
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksf32Bwny1
"Trust me, you don't 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxiPISTH4A
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ319YXBrfre
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc4tBGKyFr
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgzJY4bkmh
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PyvryYeKj
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaljj53hFc
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKe5y3yZhs
"Look, whether they are 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0MLpCp5ov
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICSfkkvPkX
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jeqjwextX
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvtMbroEAH
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcScrFjKkqR
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ6hvIBRIF
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwtWULxKbr
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbBWfMyu1P
I gave Lee a sad smile 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hiZWu8uzZ
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Yot305vu
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaU0EZIpVT
your life. Like suicide.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDGD4LYn6Z
We started our way 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mdnjW1e38
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMKWCPvlrb
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXdwAC8ocC
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDIBdkUqD9
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7rMNwekWJ
I quickly ran out of the1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jhY2LCmnd
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOX5yJhomi
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0jVsRWiae
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2HBGqiPkf
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO726yJgzml
check for it inside.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNJPkf06XI
When I got to the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNh2Hy1xCu
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCyRY04yAg
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1VoLzTfbS
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOASWBECqHU
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpYv4or4sT
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErbm4iDeJV
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEfcZXPpuE
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlc7gpX7xY
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7eTItylC7
"Seriously, I can sue 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJKXo9B8gt
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9RU8l8uJz
fast. I never even heard him coming.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0IIcsVnua
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGDiEcDbxw
"You're not my bodyguard1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWzKMNZik9
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnUZd2S82M
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtvX9uhlAu
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaJiOOxztg
I blushed. "You know about that?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZszlpG0QnJ
"Everyone knows you have1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMejl0lmil
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG73sCblzJ2
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlZ2srZ8zV
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfPpCWzbFO
"Looks like I did the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcj9jJzYLL
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoatcxAxmkr
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPkQUEdYlN
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhtZ9s5YH1
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyLcFDy1vj
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT3uZO6Fae
"And because you're a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5YSsq726m
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoybZfHh9e
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2KEZtUDED
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu45A62laJk
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C4RVH0sV5
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5JfVnkbQG
"Can you at least tell 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5S9C6ePqC
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyfgEFi2e5
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRcyOFIIKl
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraNeLpecLF
"What dramatic effect?" 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sCjj6D0Qh
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJptUyJOwL
came closer. I took a warning step back.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OVRoQtISX
"If you hadn't followed 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3wfqUxvkR
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpVubtGgJb
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsLkCs7hZ1
room."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnKIEld8ge
"What surprise?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qYc3qtZKI
The elevator stopped and1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnOimOl0u8
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHtutIU7yY
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAYC1FIEBF
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtqoZYh27I
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu9iU6479D
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N0vbOJGj8
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXfh8Ohtwj
"I already have a guess," I said.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvTumOKWb0
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZirE6M4Pu
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgtdzCK9Zh
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeaxV5iC4J
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInfonXxISz
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLXivX1Hfy
When we reached the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jyrvpNjr7
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7QP1HYYFj
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZko46K6Ag
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bfxq2BVrs
In the conference room 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG16We7SbU
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN72f2kttJ9
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSBgRbmwxq
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwiw9v5Kld
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviVroF7JCp
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdmEUHQ6dL
though I did my best not to show it.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKJXVpURu0
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyO8p5rbA3
I looked to the opposite1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCit3nMlE9
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DAHNjEPIL
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSkO8Pt3Au
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnWrncsQGH
"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."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7GWPWjty0
G-Dragon quickly turned 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIlWx8HJ1q
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk987FwylPV
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhxUjMAEss
"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?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7d48nqEUh
"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.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwIj0GXguu
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegKbKlv1UV
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFPR6C4WTn
"Wait," said Lisa who 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHiR7FINea
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6a0VrSoE0
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mhj2EncQx
"It felt simple and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdO2eI7jgL
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflvnCzjvcY
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxJN0xeo3Z
with G-Dragon today."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUFLx72gPw
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheCNffecWm
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOj3DnjcU4
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYGyDfHOAO
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68tHXlSqmV
"Ya, I know I'm a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmzBsFb6gN
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokpNKKro9I
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvimk90p1RC
"If you mean us getting 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAaMFrdBvc
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTySEsNkKK
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RymrPPs5L
by coincidence."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR54N37D8Xl
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGYE9amJ7e
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWDGeiqdtg
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZHKidO1Hw
The rest of the BTW crew1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U23n1d5hC
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD8Vwxbj5U
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7IVcpqE61
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJbO47nyk4
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgStchHNah
"Hold up," said Zoey who1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbn2EdTX9w
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYokyrJXZNF
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjgQ6IER0j
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzfRKH6S62
"Told you we'll 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtxmn9hZrS
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaWiYRiGFs
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloe9k7I2QZ
"But is he going to do 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9vdn5jCe9
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUsMtEvqyF
didn't really meet by coincidence."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeG5RNCwhS
There was silence in the1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5fQQtGbFA
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEcQ2m1Xcc
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5yqjkj8Jf
planning to do.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV2tZp4UBk
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRGeUw2JUt
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ypUziEmT
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAs6rndDW5
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxcHcDKsPi
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcQNDJn77Z
"And also because he's 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uioJBWYf7
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqMvEHaexl
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM8EsvTYwm
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpKd7xTcSc
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xiwfKhHc6
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GqbuhiDRL
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA84P15k1o
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFdkPv8ky5
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKTx5XJZja
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCjZigH96E
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtIUXTBUm6
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJleQdC6zUI
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGZCLI6Hik
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKthuRdS57
deal with G-Dragon instead.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIk0S5d61I
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnRzwgg8as
"What do you want?" I asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnnbURG7aS
G-Dragon looked at me as1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RcoMbdynF
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS2XuZyL7c
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR8eqLmoc0
came to any conclusions.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8D8YHKtUb
"To make things clear 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr7BkDEpca
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4qgjdrvyo
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzlK6ito7A
thinking about doing the same thing."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5luuJTGvAM
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZyesdxuUx
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdxaYnmf26
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhcOSiIqYg
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3riakEwlba
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxFfwSXsma
"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."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhzZSBMFKq
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB92JVYpOLj
"All's fair in love and 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzx62d3N4E
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXaR7dmSbR
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AiUm5e2D5
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb95fauwf4q
"Come on," Christine 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpig5nl5NOC
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NjuCm8NUT
won't be here for long and you know it."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAt98ldBAd
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfI1J9pDlC
"BTW is nothing but a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq6c6oOHHw
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSBUSGS0uS
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PFQZ4dM3p
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFG5BEBXun
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxCjP0hI0j
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWSRv0L1J5
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD3icZWDQK
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ygmUD8wnG
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP65JqMRu4b
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXARBbLWyr
"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.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjsGYSlDYq
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRYy2Dh9wr
Upon saying that, the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHSBokLOMC
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PzkbvB1qa
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i8fntgOVc
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAalZn3KNdL
seated stood up.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT0ANSLrNJ
I gulped. I hope the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E7QGUwVx9
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiiBkJjjOU
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSVC3cDV5w
The two managers had 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C059MpabU
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kzHha2x5W
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dFdzl77j0
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFRHd7RDTK
is wrong.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvCgaZ4Ltl
"Good that you're all 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAiCfnutRB
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUZyDC2S0Y
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR194nTGONA
I have always hated it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGreRpjAea6
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydU6yzHfzo
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkazV0fY7aj
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DhW4fKEkz
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvPdLZBtuY
their seats.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0jyFDqyoQ
The two managers and Lee1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzOnPShdhf
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPwSsSrB8o
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaEAb7TWZ6
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBSEb6H8zR
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYvoE4JwuM
was.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMvdGrkqYg
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa17ABTapa
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbdqmvDfz1
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBd4LR23mX
Zoey sighed loudly in 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lHouUgZ2X
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3tVuOE0F4
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXBCOUaT6O
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i6Pd4xDTZ
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd4ofWmBIf
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdFzuYMWRT
The two managers 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lq56CZLq7
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjnUv36vNu
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI2zKvIm5F
That was so not cool.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4eUcLZjqJ
"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."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LzKHvLzz4
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRMCrPneUI
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjQHYad7Eu
My ears perked up when 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXLkbDJAy2
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I0cjieXkb
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR14XRin8v
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN4ATzO4pr
"We heard you outside 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJfznmUBPh
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pfUWCvouf
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtcLO4DeEj
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwJ8LUx3fz
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r10EAOy0b
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObanYYzNB1
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uBIm3cSNO
through further scrutiny about this decision."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXVHYbdY0K
I smiled. Even if they 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3zG44N1ob
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXrn6DXOJe
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2icJL7ZSNZ
There was an exciting 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi47emjBCEc
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHISvtH4sby
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7Cn9hVjkp
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bo2vdtEbZ
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvRW2QXz6U
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ3LaTiZp1
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjbIHRNYod
I turned to my other 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaiUguNEQ0
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDprl4vKr5
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Ec4Z2Oea
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzqU1sPdKI
now, didn't matter.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJBABw3ig3
"You heard them when 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfnT2H6TCd
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZxuC3tTBs
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQFSVLzbuY
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXTaHYj3ek
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3vLeSyMId
"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.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChhzcQccuH
This time it was me, or I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHKg0hTcJq
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA4ZURZEbl
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkGEgKYggy
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh04z6bDxI
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXSouNmLvI
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOcYKC0Uq6
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzTjQqmTKh
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5jhMeQSRg
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEwL2oC2Y7
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFZyEGYJ3u
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX4NnIGKWe
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDYtsRW6zV
"We all agree," said Daniel.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WtmXBrTIp
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN08nt06Pro
"But just because it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlnjb83cwQ
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTAGUENkEy
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX1VOClTOT
"Okay, so that's settled1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxNFDj9mjc
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl51ahW1cgC
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHpxSY2IRL
BTW official."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSYH781nXK
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Eda0D9oXr
I noticed that most of 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh6NNQlQF1
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlzD09nTWC
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNcqXuQiba
when she looked at me and I grinned.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4AbGhfvi2
"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."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qg49qwyfR
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KfEBrdw1Z
"Before we make BTW 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA7CunlhMD
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg0aHTlOni
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGphezcW9N
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsnHuwMbyX
low for a while. Is that good?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUJpPXbHGQ
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoDDoTujwF
"That's fair enough," 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9L1tI1ILL
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zvuFpWUcI
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB71nhj03C
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt1MfN1FvH
so."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3gwSWD2wD
"So you want to crush 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1nShu5Qp8
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaIZD5lSot
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR9qzUGjJi
strategy."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiLuyAiRAN
"Then if all is well and1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrFRcmrg39
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXpxj7BsSf
updated and not a word on social media."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DiCtk3lUQ
I stood up from my seat 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34AG1Sq8gc
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41NSf54AWQ
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhw5UzIrIB
walk out, I stopped them.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgfwVQBQwH
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjSjIJtS0l
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QdjmCNCtH
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm5y2qFSPm
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CrfIX6wb1
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLswKEpzhBP
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWAPUbVaUl
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SGoLTs0At
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE2lK58lQ6
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQG1b12pdf
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJeZPiLDHH
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrf105Py1A
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBMu9HliSU
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rt2V0zdka
"This is like the best 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2bpQ4HmGP
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuND8DyOIb
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLcgObw5em
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23PkjvrP8i
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb62U93HraV
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25DW2feBU8
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXtEqL4lVH
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOSwJ29CyG
"I knew there was a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtGdXVEkAS
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczTu3SvqKE
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2YLH4xeWg
G-Dragon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0dcYWleuB
"You knew?" Christine asked.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAZ3Mw3D4e
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vfd11RLS6
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRhFaBxQAj
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb6ftXnLej
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuayt0kzJIX
"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.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdyhZo3kzS
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZp8mEM2q1
"Well, you guys can tell1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMxDhN82ug
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmxZPFruk6
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MACyTbSPh
aren't going to go into the same car."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPexMio4g1
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIofy7PhCKS
Everyone else started to1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YUpDrD861
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f9APoUb9m
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa8mIfVn7p
only G-Dragon and I.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRrrv8gZRa
"I'm mad at you," I started.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnjgXF7wnK
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZaYbsh53M
"Save it." I held my 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4pvSew268
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3DrH1TXgP
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMgF0NkuVv
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzmdC1u4h4
a war again."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YElE3vy2Q
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQnVNUbhEc
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEOILmf23R
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHn8HPppG8
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrddVYIdEWx
G-Dragon looked at me 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvEK3O8dPe
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqTshaMFCk
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ5PBLuQ4C
stab in the heart.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ufOwF1S11
"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."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadZtYjqseq
"You know, the others 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjPX7snRe8
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB7P0fbEwQ
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGMHIgS8Oi
with WINNER yesterday."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0FSUf7JEF
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MWAfr94iH
I nodded my head. What I1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG0jw3ll8p
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU7zWAcLyS
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEPOg2XmC0
of Seunghoon and I.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG9mv7hpzB
"You know you and I can 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ8PFAlvIy
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsFfGlWhdx
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OtmgvxqEx
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGG8lSATLq
down the rocks."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDZIa1jD65
I headed for the door 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBv4vt81JP
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglttTBXQDM
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk94F0vZnn
Zoey, waiting.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFVHWbyl7H
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yeLQ7RoRg
"I sure hope so," I said1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi0HSriqPe
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl1zp4dmm4
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxUlRR3DZr
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR0n5g3F9U
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iV6HqibLB
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLNiOXjKFn
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyADHVDCee
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebv2ycUyG0
"You know computers are 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFqbJHtNY9
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHI5nmGsou
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajzjV7dHjG
supposed to."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4SQLY2OLl
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEtGccbwpT
I smiled. "You always call me that."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgeWw97bbH
"Ya, because you're smart too."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAEG2Hxpst
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvx7q5Y1Wl
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3prWCQH8l
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tZuzZDcKr
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHYjGR6Wmv
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy4qZjBKaY
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
