"OMG! It's The Toxins!" Rosé exclaimed as she approached us, still not believing whether she was seeing us for real.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlpE32hY9a
"Sam, hit me right now because I'm seeing Rosé and I feel like I'm dreaming," said Mike as he started to rub his eyes.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknEKGkr6an
I rubbed his shoulder gently and then hit him so hard that he yelled.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVjo8NmceA
"Ouch! What did you do that for?" Mike asked as he rubbed his shoulder and looked at me.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVQNi4vg2I
"Would you prefer I slapped you in the face instead?" I asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwObcukPuMc
Rosé with the rest of BlackPink giggled at what happened. I looked at my brother and I could clearly see him blushing.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEcpHd7VNz
"Is this really for real!" Zoey asked excitedly as she jumped. "It's really BlackPink!"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WYE1kGEy2
"Oh, gosh!" said Christine. "This is so cool!"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb0VYmXV1B
"Pretty awesome if you ask me," said Daniel. "I still can't believe it myself."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPw6IPZT5z
"We also feel the same," said Jisoo as she came up to us and she had a wide smile on her face.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PXzEN5y6I
"I am such a big fan of you guys!" said Jennie.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqslED8C35
"Same here," I said.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhECVTzOAyf
"Me too!" Lisa exclaimed excitedly.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsQDCtt5Op
"Mike has a crush on you, Jennie," Daniel blurted out all of the sudden.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJHnawKUxH
"What! No, I don't!" Mike turned to look at his brother angrily.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7GshAkRlg
"Yes, you do."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI0ynDoHfo
"No, I don't."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnvmRP1q0c
"Yes, he does," said Christine as she turned to address Jennie.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlkspOgIf8
"So cute," said Jennie as she smiled at Mike. "Just so you know, I also like you too."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYw1KUisHP
"Mike has finally got a girlfriend," said TOP.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvSDW7WY9p
"Ya, he does," said Zoey as she smiled with glee at Mike. "Hallelujah!"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO1LEi3HZD
"Stop mocking me, you guys," said Mike. "It's so not funny anymore."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuVPcJOFqr
The BlackPink members couldn't help but smile at Mike and I for one could clearly see how embarrassed and shy he was.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgWfZzmvfo
"Okay, guys, enough," I said. "I think Mike has had enough for one day, don't you think?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z91eN72DP
"It's not wrong being a fan boy, isn't it?" TOP asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtap9WDUkQO
"No, it's not." I turned to look at TOP. "But let's not forget that we have an agenda."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsoOYlWrkD
All eyes were on me and when I looked at each of The Toxins, I could clearly see they were confused.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa7SrXVacV
"What agenda?" Christine asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3WGdIzMJA
"You know," I said, 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMyBq2Rkz2
trying not to blurt out to BlackPink and the receptionist who was 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgFQcdls09
looking at us that WINNER were waiting for us outside. "The agenda we 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkitCZtMYl7
made some time ago upstairs."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVLXlayECn
It was then that 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemfmFS0ZDV
realisation hit The Toxins and they were all nodding their heads and 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM508STQTSF
saying things at the same time in agreement.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFLYUWUSoH
"I remember now," said Daniel. "Ya, we better get going."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIrsegu0Qv
"Where are you all heading?" Lisa asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLHuofHAnu
"Ummm, we were just 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5mM8BSC40
planning to go back to the hotel," I said. "Since we're done with 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwdGQnDIcg
practise. TOP is willing to drive us there."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rMywWI2Su
"Well, that's not nice,"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OqT5iSRFE
said Rosé as she pouted her lip and folded her arms. She looked like a 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL89BatjDT
cute angry little girl. "We get to meet you guys for the first time and 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN61j9hIcJ
we don't get to hang out? That's pretty unfair, don't you think?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ft1qvfVUk
"So true," said Jisoo. "Why don't we all hang out?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQPh6slTDY
This just got tough. On 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGsPktZvax
one hand, we are trying to hide the fact that we already made plans to 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET18ZQlw9G
hang out with WINNER and worse off, without Yang Hyun-suk's consent. And1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1torLGASO
now, BlackPink also want to hang out with us, and "still" without their1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUOnCc5mUV
manager's consent. I had to think of something.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFTjbb84hb
I scratched my head. 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlF423JU5F
"Mmm, to be honest, I'm not sure if your manager will like it that we 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJcdxPakAx
are all hanging out. He would freak out, don't you agree?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MguszjALj
"Why?" Jennie asked. "It's not like you're dangerous to be around with, are you?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzsnPVnZpZ
I rolled my eyes and muttered,"you've no idea."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtLLmwEYEF
"Our manager clearly classifies us as dangerous," said Zoey.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi39iq4ZWNM
"Like we are weapons of ultimate destruction," said Daniel.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL98XsBcGc
"He also calls us monkeys because we're too hard to handle," said Christine.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG2h2WIJK5
"But just because he 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0KIUzaoZr
calls us monkeys, doesn't mean we're weapons of destruction," said Mike.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7MHReYYxU
"We mess up, ya, but destruction is a different thing."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYZb821Eoi
"Wow, Mike, really smart," said Jennie as she giggled.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGncAHr0pyW
"Thank you." Mike smiled confidently.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHhxvRBDpm
"Well, I would advise that you don't hang out with them," said TOP. "They are bad to be around with."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0QF2e9rLS
"That's not what Seungri1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuMaINoKMi
oppa said some days ago," said Rosé. "He said they are fun to hang out 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk1jUyr2FA
with. So, we want to hang out with them too."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rj1Rx51JK
I wanted to slap my face1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdRwZrAtwV
in annoyance but I ended up looking at TOP, giving him the eye. TOP 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXaIkLRdFJ
shrugged his shoulders knowing that I was blaming him for Seungri's 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnzzjduu91
mess. Seungri had a big mouth, that's for sure.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlU8bw3toE
"I think it will be a good idea to hang out," said Zoey. I looked at her.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO61Gt1r4q6
"But, Zoey.....," she interrupted me before I could finish.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s3hyHFzB4
"Come on, Sam, think 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLEBtEFZQo
about it," she said. "We don't know how long until we finally decide to 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WR24L6Oef
go back home and this might be the only time to hang out with BlackPink.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYVx6gXiKw
We finally get to hang out with girls for once instead of guys all the 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3xAygtSTE
time."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCiB580fnU
"I agree," said Daniel.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCmxCPY33u
"Me too," said Christine.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ECwWV4ot
I looked at Mike and he was looking back at me. He finally cleared his throat.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwiMlwqB5M
"I also agree," he said finally.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagSVFWXMtV
It looked like I had no 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGziPfvQiwu
choice. WINNER were waiting for us outside and would probably be 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzRYJKzudU
wondering what's taking us so long. And also, Zoey did have a point. We 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLniY7EOlNP
might never know when we will ever hang out with BlackPink.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0HFoQyeYr
"Fine, let's go," I said.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYRQFYYAbM
"Yes!" everyone 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXN4A903j6
exclaimed so happily and I was soon huddled up with hugs from my group 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONdXkNC1zD
and surprisingly from BlackPink too. TOP stood there, looking on.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhUMntazoB
"You're so going to get into trouble," said TOP as he shook his head.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgJvRn7tWl
"I know," I said after 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBPKBTLF7t
everyone stopped hugging me. "Remember the question you asked me before I1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFOf0JgyJA
walked into the lobby, the one I never answered?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DcHcxBiBk
"Ya. What about it?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaLKwzIXnY
I smiled at TOP. "Follow me and we will talk."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXS0x2njPt
I started to walk out of1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPubblEAkhH
the lobby and the others followed. We found ourselves walking across 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2z7qIfkRy
the car park and we stopped right next to TOP's car. I looked at TOP, 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwo52uYFGh
then at his car, telling him with my eyes to open the door.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdaCLVxWXo
"What are you up to?" TOP asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4yXrgEVx1
"We're going to pack our gym bags in your car and go hang out with BlackPink," I answered.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvyeXtKLBb
"But that doesn't answer my question."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8R5yHMNcO
"What question?" Jisoo asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEADOdGrCx
"Just like we want to hang out with you guys, we also planned to hang out with WINNER," I said, as I looked at Jisoo.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW08SCqifC
The four BlackPink members suddenly looked confused.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDVdAq6Jye
"Wait, WINNER are here too?" Jennie asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPWiwTPnsA
"Ya. That was the agenda Sam was talking about," said Christine.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9qMpPRcuS
"Oh," said Lisa as she slowly nodded her head. "Won't that get us into even bigger trouble?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoDddUTIiw
"That's what I told 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyiBhTCsaK
Sam," said TOP as he looked at me. "When the fans see you guys hanging 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5GH9P0QHt
out, they will take pictures and post them all over social media."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefhKC2E57d
"I already know that and1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvM8mz7bhc
that's why we will just let it be," I said. "Now open the door to your 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jxTeLLiWN
car so that we can leave our gym bags in there."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vdWiF2x4L
"Are you hearing 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgeaUO0vyY
yourself right now?" TOP asked. He looked really surprised. "You agree 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I0LZqg3b0
that you would rather get in trouble with our managers or what?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKPUA2iOmR
I tried to put a smile on my face. "If you've a little faith in me, you'll see what I mean."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkU9Ah8vQL
"I don't know if I 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dKMeZxooD
should trust you on this one, Sam. Remember what happened that day at 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDJGdt6AW8
the Arts Centre because of your plan? You would have gotten hurt."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9CMC7S8HY
"What plan?" Jennie asked as she looked at TOP and then at me.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALV7HNXH05
"Don't ask," said Zoey as she rubbed the back of her neck. "It's a long story."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9wu7uZeFs
"Don't bring that up 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoGNqHsoHU
again, will you?" I asked as I looked sternly at TOP. "What I mean is 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mo8hpcqbr
that we don't have to hide from our managers that we have already met. 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMhydpj8Qr
We'll make it look like we all met by coincidence."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k3S1f1NmU
"And how are you going to do that?" TOP asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduWYeYQk6Z
"We already have our 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK792EZReE
fans to do that, don't we?" I asked with my eyebrow raised. "Pictures 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfscezgz4Sf
will be posted all over social media and once our managers see that we 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08o5x20Gmk
have already met, there's simply nothing they can do about it."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0xdETyLL2
"Sounds like a swell 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BCqoanqIE
idea to me," said Mike. "With the photos that will be circulating, it 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3iCUCkt3G
will all seem like we met by coincidence and just decided to hang out. 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5PIeLCyAb
Brilliant, Sam."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdySWWNRM5
"I also love the idea," said Jennie.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs0EuBtEJr
And everyone else seemed1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Z2VTF1mT
to agree. I smiled at the positive response I got and I turned to look 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPffiWsZhXd
at TOP who looked at me with amazement. He shook his head and smiled.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vaOOjy4dG
"You never seize to amaze me," said TOP. "Looks like you win on this one. Again."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJato2LXfD
"Sam is just so smart," said Jisoo. "All this looks like it's going to work out just fine."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuaUOjcbc7
"We better get going, shall we?" I asked. "These guys have been waiting too long outside the gate."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj27leOR8a
After the four Toxins 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx4vq9eCDE
and I had packed our bags in TOP's car, we soon headed for the gate and 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdfPu9bOJU
the guard standing by, opened it for us. When we all walked out of the 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJOC2qDgde
premises, standing close by were WINNER. And by the looks on their 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R8JHbqpdO
faces, they must have grown quiet impatient with all the waiting.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTdoXX4OA8
"What took you guys 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRBeF5YvhP
so......?" Seunghoon was about to ask but immediately he saw BlackPink, 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNY1nCskU4
he stopped his sentence short. "What are they doing here?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bAF9ygfuI
"They are the ones who took us so long to get here," said Christine.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnYxRTd1wT
"For a moment, I thought it was our manager," said Seungyoon looking surprised.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFywWR9w7Vg
"No, they will be hanging out with us too," I said.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF4nVXKp8O
"Huh? No, they won't," said Mino, as he shook his head.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7FjUjDrMU
Lisa had her hands on her hips. "Yes, we will."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll8TpX7vX7
"The Toxins already made1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikYRegzIPX
plans to hand out with us first," said Seunghoon. "So I don't get why 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QbNyQhYlX
you would want to join us. We're already way too many, don't you agree?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TNCaOaE1O
"I agree," said Seungyoon.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVbC6J8YRn
"Me too," said Jinwoo.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGO2Utju9I
"It's not fair that you get to hang out them just because you want to," said Jennie.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAUqIgEQRA
"We met them first," said Mino mockingly. "You snooze, you lose."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBIKJCWFH1
Jisoo stomped her foot angrily on the ground. "Well, that's not very nice!"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyAx3RsBls
"Guys, stop!" I said as I decided to intervene. "Fighting isn't going to get us anywhere."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsvuwlUPUb
"Well, they are fighting over us," said Daniel as he smirked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYYDCTpwPj
"You're not helping, Daniel." I turned to look at my brother.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQpc7Vh6Hl
"Sorry." He shrugged his shoulders. "I couldn't help it."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ277ptoum7R
"Look, guys," I turned to face them. "I know we planned to hang out with WINNER first....."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSnsTkTx7H
The four WINNER members were smiling thinking they might have won this round, but they were in for a surprise.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0caqzeUdc
"....but now that BlackPink are here and want to hang out, we have no choice but to let them join us."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tgUIVeId1
"YES!" The four BlackPink members exclaimed together with the other Toxins. WINNER murmured in disapproval.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMJMMcmXfp
"But why, Sam?" Seunghoon asked. "It was supposed to be WINNER and The Toxins. Not WINNER, The Toxins and BlackPink."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyljbY8sQyY
"But what can we do?" I 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsHKw7KWeC
asked. "They caught us right before we could leave and they wanted to 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbOP1Vk1Oc
hang out too. Don't forget, our managers don't even know that we're all 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn5XyvW5KT
here together."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1KJLoRFQI
"Ya, but we're too much of a crowd, don't you think?" Jinwoo asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2vHSE3nev
"Come on, guys," said 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGBCD70zMp
Zoey as she came to stand next to me to address WINNER. "It's going to 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL5rS6Rkib
be so much fun. One day it will be just WINNER and The Toxins. Don't 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3XVOsJhSg
worry."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbxZk76VV5
"Whatever," said Seungyoon as he folded his arms and looked upwards at the sky.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7KzZwOXI0
I smiled at his cute reaction. "Cheer up," I said. "You'll see that we're going to have a blast."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb3gOqdOnt
"That's so true," said 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAvAJkywZ2
Rosé as she came to stand on my other side. "So, what are we waiting 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxihM3pKaz
for? We better get going before our manager ever gets to look out of his1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XCcZme2zV
window and sees us all standing outside the gate."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzZ2326P8n
"Oh, boys," I said to WINNER. "There has been a change of plans."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7MMY4fBb2
"What plans?" Jinwoo asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziQljTNCKP
I told them what I had 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvXNEU9AnR
discussed with the others earlier in the car park about us being 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvA3d6Xl75
discovered by fans so that our managers will think we all met by 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfcKuqP147
coincidence. They didn't seem to object to it and said it was a pretty 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx0n23iyb6
good idea.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUEBZJT0nc
"You guys go ahead and 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zHZLy3Muf
have fun," said TOP as he looked like he was about to turn around and 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL36QV7NlUp
head back through the gate. "I'll be heading home since you don't need 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK7E70l3An
me around anymore."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec1WoNlTJt
"Oh, no, you don't," I said as I quickly turned around and held his hand. "I still need you around."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXUSA4sBfL
"Need or want?" he asked as he smiled at me. I rolled my eyes at him.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YkYUvwOJG
"You never asked about that last time," I said with a hint of annoyance in my voice.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cRm2WbGUz
"I like to be wanted, Sam," he said. "You of all the ladies in the world know that."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6f376Lof2
Zoey, Christine and the 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPjbRlIarw
rest of BlackPink giggled behind me obviously enjoying the little scene 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouQ20NmJx5
in front of them. I heard Seunghoon mutter "oh brother." Oh brother, 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBdgQlUba7
indeed.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7hcngY4Kb
"Fine," I looked down at1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34IXUDNnvX
my feet, took a deep breath and went back to look at him, changing my 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD6gSDff4o
facial expression. "Don't go, Choi. I want you around. Don't go, 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwgKdB0e11
please."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQmKR1Xle3
The girls yelled with glee and I could hear the boys mutter in disapproval. TOP's lips were raised into a wide smile.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBImb6foTHD
"You'll make a perfect 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgp3oaR91D
actress someday. You had me very convinced since you called me by my 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmq64GrPdh
real name," he said as he leaned in closer and held my chin. "And I 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8O4EGb9I6
would never hesitate when it comes to the kissing scenes."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6g6iAAjGJ
"Okay, enough," said 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Siq8cTGfs
Seunghoon as I felt him come from behind. I felt him wrap his arms 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPxJOild2v
around me and lift me off the ground, turning me away from TOP.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLINnN82a5Q
"Hoony! Put me down!" I kicked my legs in mid-air as he took a few steps down the street away from the others.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgse2Jozl0m
"Oh, now you're calling 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjTu8Imqrm
me Hoony," said Seunghoon as he continued on his way and I continued to 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5eYl3wct1
struggle in his arms. "That's interesting."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAUgZZjYDQ
"Don't be so flattered," I said as I frowned. "Now put me down! Guys, help!"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCbpyIY6aX
"Come on, Seunghoon," called out Jennie. "You can put her down now!"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Db02nzTD
"No," he said as he continued walking. I could hear quick footsteps behind us as I kicked the air again.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T14lm3hJy
"This is ridiculous! Please, put me down!" I exclaimed. "This is embarrassing!"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCgQ3ELguw
"I like it when you call me Hoony," said Seunghoon. "Call me that again, will you?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVfk9aNPhV
"Heck no! Put me down!"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2pfl6LF6p
"You're such a fighter, aren't you?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgPcyOUh8Q
"She's a feisty one, I can tell you that," said TOP behind us.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljIdI3jXcc
"She's always been a fighter," said Zoey. "Though she looks pretty innocent on the outside."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc8Ct3VPQU
"Oh, really?" Rosé asked as she now sounded interested. "Tell me more."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJz7HbzIMq
I rolled my eyes when I 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsQU1NQ9rE
realised that the others weren't going to help me out at all. I looked 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLEJkopT47
in front of me and realised most civilians walking down on either side 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzTNR3GyFK
of the street were looking our way, most especially at Seunghoon and I 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnMwE4hYy3
since I was being carried in his arms. I felt so embarrassed as I tried 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tuUDQ6ZLN
to break away from him again.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCVJauYxCY
"Oh, we'll tell you," 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWBAo6h4BM
said Mike. "Hey, Zoey, do you remember that time when Sam punched that 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW3lrIHfX6
guy in the face on your second day of high school?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aRk8lk359
"Oh, I remember that day," said Zoey. "You wouldn't believe it but all of that happened so suddenly."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJjwsz20R0
"Tell us what happened," said Mino.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Zkl2WlYk
"Gosh, guys, my life story isn't some movie," I said as I rolled my eyes and kicked my feet in the air again.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR6k5eAku1
"It's is now," said Seunghoon. "Now hold still so that I can also listen."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeMjWXR4Vx
I rolled my eyes and 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxOudbufNO
started to think that if I could turn around and punch Hoony in the 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHCwbLsnpT
face, I would gladly do it without regret.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Azka3BYx
Zoey continued the 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGnthSqwhG
story, "it so happened that we were walking out of the school bus on 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsc1e6VzIz
Tuesday, right after we opened school. For Sam and I, it was our second 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjlULxHa1H
day in high school just as Mike put it. As we walked out of the bus, a 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgjJCHAy0X
classmate of ours, I believe his name was Johnny....?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9koZ4F4x6
"Ya, it was Johnny," said Christine.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EYBkbao36
"You even remember his name?" I asked. To be honest, I was a little surprised.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iDxeAwk1z
"Of course I remember his name," said Zoey. "It's hard not to forget."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxh0tuXL1j
"So what did Johnny do?" Rosé asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ov61DMSzx
"He was the like the 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ2eIa1ZtH
most popular guy in school, since he was in the school football team and1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2YpLyIhKV
everything," continued Zoey. "The thing is, he always used to make fun 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPmA8GSCSI
of Sam since we were little kids. I always thought he liked her."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWcgsosCkJ
"No, he didn't!" I yelled. I quickly closed my mouth when my voice echoed down the street and people looked my way.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOKpt0ZhWv
"Of course he did. Any 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uj7mWo0Dv
who, when we got out of the bus, I was talking with Sam until he pulled 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVBIlZYqLy
her hair from behind. He always used to do that even in class since he 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsgwZkjuHq
also used to sit behind her. And the next thing I know, Sam had quickly 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl97BQJE0w
turned around and all I heard was a bone crunching sound. When I turned 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt6S9C8H8Z
around, Johnny was on one knee holding his bloody nose."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnjJR9EFLR
Everyone around Zoey listening to the story were like, "oooh!" Even Seunghoon.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n0gcDwvhF
"It wasn't that painful," I said. "He didn't even cry."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAzRqi6VPJ
"A kid would have cried, Sam," said Daniel. "Johnny wasn't one."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttujnZGcyl
"Did you get into trouble, Sam?" Lisa asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRssgdqXa6
"Apparently, she 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eYbKdly28
didn't," Christine answered. "It all happened when they were still in 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3xHX6TS6H
the school parking lot and there were no teachers around."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBoJVM5WBj
"And besides, Johnny 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfHt5Hkr7F
couldn't report her either," said Mike. "Not because he liked her, but 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG08s9pI1tY
because Sam was too sweet and innocent to ever get into trouble."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10gLzii0S4
"That's not true," I 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFmTlJT89b
said as I tried to turn around to look at the others but I couldn't. "He1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuMTMwkDpP
had the chance to report me to the school nurse."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRyXUs2B1v
"Ya, who didn't believe 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn88TBoeBu
him because Samantha Glasson was the angel of the school who wouldn't 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLIWLvnLh5
even hurt a fly," said Daniel. "I was there in that school ward, you 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmHriN1M8Y
know? She didn't believe a thing."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUf6qDNs74
"Sam was always a 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ01vmPQIEq
teacher's favourite and that's why she never got into any trouble," said1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHYF7kB8LN
Zoey. "Johnny even had to lie to his coach that he broke his nose while1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl1BrromwN
riding a bike and hit the pavement because it was pointless telling him1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOvP28rwrV
the truth."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFutiDUyo2
"Well, at least he never lost his good looks or else I would have done much worse," I said.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGaQiT6qmY
"Ya, I know. Since then, he's always been so nice to you and not bullying you all the time."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lrBSlSTPu
"Now I see how she never gets into trouble with Collins," said TOP. "She has that perfect angel face."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgsmZXbQPt
"You got that right," said Jinwoo. I could almost imagine Christine frowning.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfmyMr4eii
"I don't have an angel 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsOGA3pewz
face," I said. "All that happened in high school was simply because of 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IMr5cE5xi
pure luck. And besides, I had already built a reputation among the 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSxoNcLNgP
teachers so they always took my side."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tgh7I88x4
Seungyoon laughed behind me. "Spoken like one who knows how to work on her charm."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKANWJGjXOc
"No, I don't!"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41WNUcXIpV
"Yes, you do," said 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ978rPGxo5j
Seunghoon as he finally let my feet touch the ground when we stopped 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJpWmCqyFr
right next to a bus stop. I felt relieved.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0n22kALWi
"Thanks," I said as I looked at Seunghoon. "It was about time you put me down."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY57bfcYqfL
"You were getting really heavy," said Seunghoon. "Besides, I was afraid that you might just punch me."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIq7gc100w
"Don't kid yourself," 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2el3Sr9ib
said Zoey. "Sam would never punch anyone unless it's necessary. And you 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFDyJupMIG
also have a cute face so she wouldn't like to ruin it."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6UeidCrkK
"Ha, don't tempt me," I said as I cracked my knuckles.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh42ekRush
"So what are we even doing here?" Jinwoo asked as he looked up and down the street.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsV0tngaOk
"We're supposed to hang 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ814FTgGbH4
out, aren't we?" I suggested. "I just don't know where, to be honest." I1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY4VYowhJc
ended up scratching my head and leaning my back on the pole of the bus 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ6Oj1lr0f
stop sign.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadMFx7jDD0
"Or we can just wait for the bus since Seunghoon brought us here in the first place," said Seungyoon.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMWRvXobMv
"Well, we have to think of something or else we might just go in the bus and end up going nowhere," said Jisoo.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLIMVBD0RW
"Why don't we do that?" 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCxgI6CHRZ
Zoey suggested. "Just let the bus drive us wherever it goes. I bet we 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdaEwdxCaT
will figure out where to go from there."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFEWprl4Wl
"That sounds crazy, but it might just work," said TOP.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZynyuVlCn
"Oh, look!" Christine pointed down the street. "Here comes the bus now."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qTtU8XKVT
"I can't believe I'm 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2qxKWhuMR
about to enter a bus with no clue as to where I am going," I said. 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82FG2NpIQA
"Anyway, I think it's a good thing since we have never used public 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfri7NfZePq
transport before during our stay here."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRqEsYXe3C
"That sounds like an adventure on its own, doesn't it?" Seunghoon asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5MVGzIJCT
I stared up at the clear1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTAt1wZF0V
blue sky as I thought of what to say next. "I guess you're right on 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfLgvEhdcr
that one." I turned to smile at him.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGnRwwcJZv
The bus got closer and 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLyZoAAFdF
stopped right in front of us. The doors automatically flew open. At 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe6KgEeb0N
first we hesitated, looking at each other and wondering who was going to1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0qaUoKAdU
go in first.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXTSFYiVCk
"If you're worried about the bus fare, don't worry," said TOP. "We can all go in and I'll pay."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO1SjOTvV8
"I was waiting for you to say that," I said as I smiled at TOP. "That's why I needed and not wanted you around."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngDIMDOPZi
"Ladies, first," said Mino.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dOSazsDg0
"Thank you, Mino," said Zoey as she got into the bus first, then the rest of us ladies followed.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkPxgVNY6Y
"Collins is going to freak if he were ever to find out that we're in a bus," said Christine as she took a seat.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6523Fq7qQv
"So will our manager," said Rosé as she took the next set of seats behind Christine.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGB3SirMNv
"This going to be so fun," said Zoey as she sat next to Rosé.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6KuvKHl6H
"Wanna take a selfie?" Rosé asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVAFit3EgJ
"Sure!"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwrObCyKpa
I sat behind Rosé and 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3WfmTVJM5
Zoey who were busy taking pictures with Rosé's phone. Jisoo and Lisa sat1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4SlY8tZJz
behind me. I looked around the bus and noticed that there were only 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbUMTGzN2o
three people in the bus apart from us. They were all older looking who 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBCa5QoBEV
seemed to be minding their own business. They occupied the last three 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTpqUI2p5g
rows in the bus. The bus wasn't full like I thought it would be.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7dkOQhvwg
"Weird," I said when Jennie came to sit next to me. "I thought it was full."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlsy8NoNRH
"Must be because it's a Sunday in the morning," said Jennie.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DSaXLmCJY
"It's almost close to noon," said Jinwoo as he sat on the opposite side of the bus. "Doesn't look like it's a busy hour."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f3O1RCwf1
"Won't Collins be calling us soon?" Mike asked as he sat in front of Jinwoo.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjxYiGPiOi
"Don't scare me, Mike," 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7wUEcAN7R
said Zoey as she immediately stood up from her seat. Rosé quickly pulled1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH96ob81RT
her back down with her hand on Zoey's arm.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMAnGYXmuZ
"You're making her nervous again," said Daniel as he came in the bus and sat next to Jinwoo.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzEdZC0GRM
"Well, he is supposed to1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ONL5xHvrx
call to check up on us," I said. "We'll just say that we went out with 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc1BmyPCXK
TOP. And in that way, we will supposedly meet with WINNER."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0F1GcrkRE
"And what about us?" Jisoo asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55NWbvU2lk
"Well, the receptionist 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbn0mHv84l
is obviously going to tell our managers that we've already met 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14T9bW1wUg
BlackPink," I answered. "So, I'm not that worried."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs5z7hzb39
"Smart," said Seungyoon who also sat on the opposite side with TOP in front of Jinwoo and Daniel.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0uEwcebAX
"That's why I think 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXwBci5j2A
girls with brains are hot," said Seunghoon who sat in the same row as I 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD1U02eI5D
was with Jennie on the opposite side. He was looking at me deeply with 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF1EBl4EqZ
his hand under his cheek and his elbow leaning on the top of the seat.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN4g3p4ale
"Remind me to slap him if he acts funny, will you, Mino?" I said to Mino who sat next to Seungyoon close to the window.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFrfREVKrz
"Whatever you say, BK," said Mino as he gave me a thumbs up.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19rhZZGAdQ
I hadn't noticed that 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH2nqwwmbw
the bus was already moving until I looked out of the window and down the1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wm0AxwXzv
streets of Seoul. It's been a while since I ever got to use public 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCzXTPejYh
transport and it reminded me of the old days back home when I would use 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3dHRuBdBI
the bus to move around town.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYLvgJfkZr
"Hey, guys," said Mike. I turned to look at him and he had his phone in his hand. "Someone's calling."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hEGFJQrTU
"Please, don't tell me it's Collins!" Zoey squealed as she covered her ears and skidded down on her seat, hiding herself.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6lTw7B10Q
"Don't be such a whim," said Mike. "It's Taeyang."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8RtFs5Jgc
"Taeyang!" I exclaimed excitedly with the rest of the other ladies. Zoey excitedly sat up on her seat.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i2lCZCxbr
"Why do the ladies love him?" Seungyoon asked with a confused look on his face. "I fail to understand."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4z2mitlo8
"He's amazing," I said.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUXcgeG1Bm
"He's so likeable," said Lisa.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5noY2mcND
"He's handsome," said Christine.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyvAfsViTP
"He's a gentleman," said Jisoo.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM67DMOxlV
"He's hot," said Jennie.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPQQks4EcY
"Freakin' hot," Zoey added.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf28cI8UHbe
"And kindhearted," said Rosé.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzcLzbJjPR
"Okay, why don't you 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyZeKnV6wX
tell him that since its a video call," said Mike as he got up from his 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSvo9xJp3B
seat and stood in the aisle as he answered the call holding the phone 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNpaD7SdCg
up.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjo0azFC0W
"Hey, Taeyang," said Mike as he waved at the screen.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZycvS67Oj
"Mike, hey," came Taeyang. "I saw the video you sent me of Sam and Zoey. That was one awesome dance battle."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRUv5wULAa
"Awww! Thank you!" Zoey magically appeared beside Mike so that she could talk to Taeyang.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Us4PajcXb
"Hey, Zoey," said Taeyang. "You two were great."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaINzccrw0
"Who do you think won? I mean, it was a dance battle and we danced to your song, so you should probably announce the winner."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRJcSQFXXC
"Don't answer that!" I yelled as I stood over the chair, jumped over the seat and Jennie, joining Mike and Zoey on the aisle.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujKhZQYPpY
"Why don't you want me to answer that, Sam?" Taeyang asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdSWZTbNYn
"Well, I think we danced very well," I said as I smiled at him. "So there is no need."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe87moxFg3
"And besides, I put up a voting poll online and by the end of the day, we'll be able to see what the fans think," said Mike.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJNWFHCSSd
"Wait! What dance battle?" Lisa asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdIgDHffEz
"Who is that?" Taeyang asked. "Sounds familiar."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPg9dRHRTu
"Tae!" Lisa exclaimed gleefully as she came and stood right behind me waving at Taeyang on the screen.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFDJ2lPu0V
"Aaaah!" Taeyang looked 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFe97P3wyQ
like he had just seen a ghost and almost dropped his phone. He edged 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF2BHaLiYb
closer to the camera, clearly not believing his eyes. "Lisa? What are 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWQ2JvdIUA
you doing with these guys?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2BtO2B3rw
"Hanging out," Lisa answered.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhczWos25P
"Isn't that risky? Our manager doesn't know, does he?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8nnKEZu3S
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she shook her head. "You shouldn't even tell him, yet alone Collins."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AHb5r4cuJ
"Of course I wouldn't," said Taeyang. "I just hope the whole BlackPink isn't there with you."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQepS5tVNV
"Surprise!" came Jisoo, Jennie and Rosé as they also came to join us on the aisle.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdU4YTkUHA
"Aish!" Taeyang hit his forehead and looked like he was about to faint. "Now you're really in trouble."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwudKzTPI3K
"Don't worry about a thing, Tae," said Mike. "It's not like we're doing anything wrong."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW53xF45Wn
"When The Toxins are around, there is bound to be trouble."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D7BuVyo5s
"Hey!" Daniel came and squeezed in right next to Zoey. "You know, you sound just like our managers."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxdU6ksGeD
"Well, we have been around you a lot haven't we?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXFUPBjF6c
The three Toxins and I nodded our heads, murmuring in agreement.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosgfcAOh5q
"But we're not that bad," said Mike.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwb7NGpCiw
"No, you aren't," said Taeyang. "But you know how our managers think."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15rIatwkGU
"I tried to warn them," said TOP. "But they never listen to me."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm6Oj38vTH
"Is that Choi with you?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X24V17K9z
Mike turned the phone 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiFVTvKzaO
camera around so that Taeyang could be able to see TOP. What Taeyang was1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcqVc6320V
about to see next wasn't going to be good at all.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbpanKCVBn
"What the.....!" Taeyang sounded surprised when he not only saw TOP but WINNER as well.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrDA2ejIs3
TOP with the rest of WINNER waved at Taeyang over the phone.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsZ1dCVStk
"You're in super mega trouble now," said Taeyang.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hwgwo17bY
Mike turned the phone back to his direction. "We know," he said.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyk4W86U8m
"Wait, a minute. Are you guys in a bus right now?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC24xdNvHi
"Yep," I answered.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7FKGn9fj5
"Where are you all going?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprBpsC59uE
"To have fun, of course," said Jennie.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBAqGGsK0V
"Why did I even bother to ask? Just try not to attract any attention among yourselves out there."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXCoy5RHe8
"That will be 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfbSei32es
impossible, Tae," said Jisoo. "I mean, three of the famous pop music 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlL0kiVtqr
groups walking down the street? That's certainly going to raise 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooR0hqo4nM
everyone's attention."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSy0kKfs1O
"Whatever. You just have fun and try not to do any funny business."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtY50Si0Qh
"Don't worry about a thing," said Lisa. "We're with The Toxins. What could possibly go wrong?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6iepHkBGm
"Ummmm, guys," came Christine. "You might want to sit down."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRya0dlIDH
"Huh? Why?" Rosé asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGyqN4NeA3
Before Christine could 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquLzPxOy8a
say anything else, the bus skidded to a stop and the next thing I know, I1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8gDyT19cf
was tumbling to the bus floor on the aisle since I lost balance with 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3i0m44oay
Zoey and the rest of the BlackPink. I fell back first onto the floor. 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBraE0jxPsF
Mike and Daniel remained standing as they were holding on to the bus 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ83LgxYWah
pole.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2EgSnjNcf
"The bus was planning to stop," said Christine as she got up from her seat and looked at us on the floor. "Are you guys okay?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nq9cf6iUN
"Never better," said Zoey as she held her head and got up. She hit her face real hard on the floor.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3p1o6LWrt
Jennie who fell beside 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzTHlUyoP7
me soon got up and before I could fully get up myself, someone from 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwWf2Ym1hq
behind already had their hands under my arms pulling me up.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU1kZenKX9
"Are you okay?" 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB4D96ZFqS
Seunghoon asked straight in my ear as I stood up from the floor. His 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dbw51eptF
voice almost felt like a whisper. I quickly turned around to look at 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5asj6lkLg
him.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc3Ybs2IOi
"I'm fine," I said.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEN6gETlon
"I hope no one has broken bones or anything," said Mino.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87ekZEhxVZ
"We're fine," said Rosé, as she and Lisa slowly got up. "You should have helped some of us get up."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hgI5idr9k
"My head hurts real bad!" Zoey complained as she still held her forehead. "Hopefully, I'm not swollen."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyBsM3NHe9
"No, you're not," said Christine as she came to check up on Zoey. "You'll be fine."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WTA4BfBWO
"This is what I didn't want to happen," said Taeyang over Mike's phone. "Hope everyone is okay."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT7gKK37gG
"We're excellent," said Jennie. "To be honest that felt kind of fun. We should be falling more often."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj9GVGcPVJ
"No!" The four Toxins and I exclaimed at the same time, looking at Jennie.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4JINixTO2
I heard the bus driver chuckle behind me and when I turned to look at him, he quickly smiled and looked away.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSIrdF1wLC
"Where are we anyway?" Daniel asked he looked out of the window.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxeshK9UIT
"Times Square," the bus driver answered, as he turned to look at us.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwgYeI3Cy9
"Should we go?" Jinwoo asked. "Doesn't seem like a bad place to hang out."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNq2LwZMn5
"Well, you seem like you all didn't know where to go," said the driver. "So, I thought this place will be just right."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqKklx6pAI
"Seems okay to me," I said. "What does everyone else think?"1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWtUKRTfsD
"We haven't really been at Times Square ourselves," said Christine. "So I say we go for it."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKRwQVtZWc
"If Sam says we go, we go," said Seunghoon.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaSCgADElA
"This is what I call trusting blindly," said TOP.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLa1XqjGWk
"Tell me about it," I said as I rolled my eyes. I almost laughed in the end.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1iq80jE5h
"Okay, since we're all leaving," said Mino. "Let's go."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZCnH3R1uM
"Alright, Tae," said Mike as he went back to looking at his phone. "If you want to join us, you know where to find us."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSeq5ThB8z
"I'll consider that," said Taeyang. "Bye, guys."1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1tkks6dlj
We all said bye to 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWn2sv3LFr
Taeyang and the doors to the bus flew open. We all started to file out 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDwS7hLZFq
of the bus, one by one. I gave the bus driver a smile and waved at him 1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcQP7wlZ0w
as I walked out of the bus and he happily waved back.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgSzXzJgyq
When we all disembarked and the bus had finally drove away, we all looked at the massive tall buildings before us.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSD3bj2NPU
"So, what do you think we should do first?" Zoey asked.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3JFjtHj1F
"I simply have no clue," said Seungyoon.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyQuuvdgwg
"I think we do what we do best," said Daniel.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYMHDSARO8
"And what's that?" Lisa asked as she looked at Daniel.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4cr7H2qVN
"Have fun," I answered.1064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBt64tQMRG
