Lee's P.O.V922Please respect copyright.PENANARprpJp7U0B
I was so tired as I sat 922Please respect copyright.PENANAaVrPg5hdNW
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 922Please respect copyright.PENANAhW97aNBbkU
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 922Please respect copyright.PENANA4JSQ6DSUOH
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 922Please respect copyright.PENANADhweYbkqZ6
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 922Please respect copyright.PENANAq7uIkhJfJf
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.922Please respect copyright.PENANA7q9lIB3O8P
The past two days have 922Please respect copyright.PENANAFWE5IfyI3D
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 922Please respect copyright.PENANAWy6g2FaaWX
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 922Please respect copyright.PENANAwzf7DvemNv
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being922Please respect copyright.PENANAZHZbN8PiTF
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 922Please respect copyright.PENANA7bPzPa96O1
complain.922Please respect copyright.PENANAH2TYxBdcFU
Why should I complain? 922Please respect copyright.PENANANgB9Snz6eM
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when922Please respect copyright.PENANATvxjnT5Txd
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 922Please respect copyright.PENANAheBiwbW4et
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.922Please respect copyright.PENANAgxrm2gKyu3
I really love my job. 922Please respect copyright.PENANAcpru7NGB28
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.922Please respect copyright.PENANA45FJD0IZjL
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 922Please respect copyright.PENANAX9thhjw2cF
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.922Please respect copyright.PENANAqPOuBjQ7cZ
Collins is strict and 922Please respect copyright.PENANAki87W5iYKh
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 922Please respect copyright.PENANAuGOSGiqGR5
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 922Please respect copyright.PENANA7mYKt7t3k6
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only922Please respect copyright.PENANAbwzHXqdLEk
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set922Please respect copyright.PENANAuBWbkKetSP
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 922Please respect copyright.PENANAerb9zV24rd
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends922Please respect copyright.PENANAc8P35ba3bp
over the years.922Please respect copyright.PENANAPaxhD6Vw9H
And another reason I 922Please respect copyright.PENANArV3qFBJTO6
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected922Please respect copyright.PENANA1YIiDmre2B
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 922Please respect copyright.PENANAtZcCvIVCKw
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 922Please respect copyright.PENANAnKBdZBWrmG
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 922Please respect copyright.PENANAUDTQAqKTOx
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 922Please respect copyright.PENANAJyONswbyaI
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 922Please respect copyright.PENANAXQfm7izQdg
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 922Please respect copyright.PENANADZwoIBNozT
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's922Please respect copyright.PENANABNHQBk9KA7
how they have managed to make it this far.922Please respect copyright.PENANA0rZB1nVj2U
As I remained seated and922Please respect copyright.PENANAM9EVs9GtfG
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much922Please respect copyright.PENANAes4k36aIOp
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 922Please respect copyright.PENANAWlO5F8Xh1g
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 922Please respect copyright.PENANAjb3ZZE7fp3
like that at all.922Please respect copyright.PENANAiKCXP207jx
Not that I'm acting like922Please respect copyright.PENANAWWAe5CqdBf
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 922Please respect copyright.PENANAYVH3jxqMjI
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 922Please respect copyright.PENANA5vJ600OZXy
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 922Please respect copyright.PENANAITWTTZgBMB
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to922Please respect copyright.PENANADIsYNSXROe
help in any way I can.922Please respect copyright.PENANA5olXndXFXQ
I looked at the time on 922Please respect copyright.PENANAn3MovAh7u4
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 922Please respect copyright.PENANAxXyLeYvL2Y
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.922Please respect copyright.PENANAAiba3SFwvT
I quickly grabbed my 922Please respect copyright.PENANAzsvDaVYFHX
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 922Please respect copyright.PENANAZnu7aXPGTR
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.922Please respect copyright.PENANAJHcaR9RpMg
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.922Please respect copyright.PENANAOZsJC3qagS
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."922Please respect copyright.PENANAHicdhGtw4A
"Ya, we're done with practise."922Please respect copyright.PENANAdBP8ZeL2m8
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.922Please respect copyright.PENANA2PxTqvsDIT
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAuviB6Ux3lJ
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."922Please respect copyright.PENANAxeaRR5BTyX
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAqdfPz0i5Zh
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."922Please respect copyright.PENANAh22BZKv1Sl
Whatever ounce of 922Please respect copyright.PENANAn0yAN7ukSv
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 922Please respect copyright.PENANAIVSToQQhDm
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously922Please respect copyright.PENANAKPAMpRQi6e
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.922Please respect copyright.PENANAOXzBhzoS4j
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.922Please respect copyright.PENANALTLYUqz9rT
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."922Please respect copyright.PENANAzMmPIsYjlX
I sighed as I leaned back on my chair again. "I guess if you're with TOP it's fine. But you should've informed me first."922Please respect copyright.PENANALwNk1JzIHh
"Is Collins with you?"922Please respect copyright.PENANANaTsBIJiE0
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."922Please respect copyright.PENANAVmHjkNTwG0
"Good. I've something else to tell you."922Please respect copyright.PENANA934In36HZY
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAJyS3Pwqdl8
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."922Please respect copyright.PENANAkVu1c4fdpt
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."922Please respect copyright.PENANAVY2fUoqVR9
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."922Please respect copyright.PENANAjUKHYB7LnR
"Tell me then," I insisted.922Please respect copyright.PENANAkOIzwLvvPQ
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."922Please respect copyright.PENANAXjFHd0BJch
"Did you and TOP kiss?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAf7Q6LLJSUf
"What! No! No way!"922Please respect copyright.PENANAqbXMZO79Wa
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."922Please respect copyright.PENANA4UqUxPp1G8
"What makes you think that?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAM2mxNlB1lO
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."922Please respect copyright.PENANAtnqP27eR1l
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."922Please respect copyright.PENANA2Hf7TlU5Ht
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"922Please respect copyright.PENANA2ppkP3yha2
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.922Please respect copyright.PENANAf4Hw7bcbGr
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."922Please respect copyright.PENANAMLOYVC4TEO
"Try me, Sam. I've been 922Please respect copyright.PENANA841P2ifaHw
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 922Please respect copyright.PENANA3slOe7HMq0
on that I won't be surprised this time around."922Please respect copyright.PENANAape0HFcCBr
"No, Lee, this time it's different."922Please respect copyright.PENANA8xDctnIpYF
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."922Please respect copyright.PENANAoCR69YQTHw
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."922Please respect copyright.PENANAqQqU32eYYh
Before Sam could say 922Please respect copyright.PENANA7YSyRQu4rJ
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 922Please respect copyright.PENANAtMBlhSRNpE
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 922Please respect copyright.PENANAyowDvbQ9WP
quickly realised that it wasn't.922Please respect copyright.PENANAnEHuZd3gq7
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.922Please respect copyright.PENANAfeR0fXS2r4
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.922Please respect copyright.PENANAwxpjKyZJzD
"What the what! Sam! 922Please respect copyright.PENANAYiES0Twogk
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 922Please respect copyright.PENANAYnek9imbbs
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.922Please respect copyright.PENANAiwnn9wCGHP
"Wait, hold on, give me a922Please respect copyright.PENANAMs94tbVTCV
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 922Please respect copyright.PENANAPCBtO8qrgI
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 922Please respect copyright.PENANALCb3R24Agm
tell you."922Please respect copyright.PENANAC7myqPdkwi
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAxToU3rkyP4
"Seunghoon from WINNER."922Please respect copyright.PENANA3LRnSMGDqK
I thought the world 922Please respect copyright.PENANAVS2rWnAqtQ
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt922Please respect copyright.PENANATjvCJjWtC9
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.922Please respect copyright.PENANAjxxTBOJKKP
"Sam, I'm going to faint922Please respect copyright.PENANAfSJT7NJCuf
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 922Please respect copyright.PENANA0B8QeqfT2g
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAthYfoU4Oc6
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."922Please respect copyright.PENANACYFVY5NN8t
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."922Please respect copyright.PENANANoEjtcG5zk
"I know, but I've a plan."922Please respect copyright.PENANAWs0c1GFIto
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAPh6MvPaYJk
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."922Please respect copyright.PENANAkRmRLA9CO0
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAYbudeaxjUM
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."922Please respect copyright.PENANA6qdJNF1nhe
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."922Please respect copyright.PENANAIs5tVGIRzU
"Or you can just join in922Please respect copyright.PENANArBf95t89aY
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 922Please respect copyright.PENANAGQLUX2F0i4
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."922Please respect copyright.PENANAl2BBLaqi8N
"Okay, I'll be there. 922Please respect copyright.PENANA7GPW7k63bR
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 922Please respect copyright.PENANA6SAzuPGLmG
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 922Please respect copyright.PENANA3ofJ0NqIoQ
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAIFL2Nwwzyj
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."922Please respect copyright.PENANARfdoHexpYF
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."922Please respect copyright.PENANAP1OtFWdACC
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."922Please respect copyright.PENANAsCpmJC8LPj
"Alright, I'm on my way."922Please respect copyright.PENANAB3fJdHHI5u
I quickly cut the call 922Please respect copyright.PENANAd05bstnD3x
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 922Please respect copyright.PENANAgdbLxiO5xN
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 922Please respect copyright.PENANAPYPWJ8Iv8Q
the trending list, I was a little confused.922Please respect copyright.PENANA88UIDkF70e
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.922Please respect copyright.PENANAJolK6BlhIX
***922Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ29gvHyDW
Sam's P.O.V922Please respect copyright.PENANAGwtiVv410R
I922Please respect copyright.PENANAx4X2rFZZkv
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 922Please respect copyright.PENANAQgiepBWAVc
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 922Please respect copyright.PENANAhZT4Zagz8j
the fans.922Please respect copyright.PENANAjodlbudoeS
Since922Please respect copyright.PENANAHWhyIe1aOd
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 922Please respect copyright.PENANAurphl0SRqg
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 922Please respect copyright.PENANAwzkwlcd1DV
massive Times Square complex.922Please respect copyright.PENANAfBB5TXees6
So922Please respect copyright.PENANAExbqc7iFB5
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 922Please respect copyright.PENANA4urK80GQLv
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 922Please respect copyright.PENANASNum5Wa7MR
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 922Please respect copyright.PENANAT4N86SKpMH
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 922Please respect copyright.PENANArFpgA5N3VC
serious.922Please respect copyright.PENANAEivJ4vdyrE
"It's922Please respect copyright.PENANABvzmfh19zp
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 922Please respect copyright.PENANAbCk53iDs3x
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 922Please respect copyright.PENANAZL00sEQ42a
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."922Please respect copyright.PENANAHhOuc6hAmo
I922Please respect copyright.PENANAsmPVRaR3PJ
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 922Please respect copyright.PENANAnL64PKg3TR
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 922Please respect copyright.PENANAGtXyGBVPTa
somewhat worrying.922Please respect copyright.PENANAn4Lad3vUKH
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."922Please respect copyright.PENANAYHXBKMvG4V
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.922Please respect copyright.PENANA1lRl6RlnKe
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."922Please respect copyright.PENANAboQ61oBuqR
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.922Please respect copyright.PENANAsneEHj745M
"You're right. I do."922Please respect copyright.PENANAOim12n7zmc
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.922Please respect copyright.PENANAbbZAZiiPQL
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."922Please respect copyright.PENANAMiXfLjmiYq
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.922Please respect copyright.PENANAJy5Ek3YpAB
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.922Please respect copyright.PENANADTDSEOaTx5
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.922Please respect copyright.PENANAYNU8bKQvWS
"You're922Please respect copyright.PENANAs5mXpmP5H4
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 922Please respect copyright.PENANAMl8CjWESqf
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 922Please respect copyright.PENANAL0oL6ZlWua
around here."922Please respect copyright.PENANAIqJiFnOauU
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.922Please respect copyright.PENANAY6whZYNtM9
"Who said we need to 922Please respect copyright.PENANAXM07RjJFml
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 922Please respect copyright.PENANAIWtf9SUrTz
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."922Please respect copyright.PENANAsf5yokzmdJ
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."922Please respect copyright.PENANAOpgDzBr1rF
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.922Please respect copyright.PENANAyYAOMauafX
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.922Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZzUy302Di
"Where?" Zoey asked.922Please respect copyright.PENANA4cz7ELngFf
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAQCCNXtL7Hi
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.922Please respect copyright.PENANARRPTWUHaT8
"Wait, a minute!" I 922Please respect copyright.PENANAhMv5rA1Wha
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 922Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZGdcvlfKE
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."922Please respect copyright.PENANAFGpApzNXNp
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.922Please respect copyright.PENANA5wATrw61Z7
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"922Please respect copyright.PENANA56vJ9oZSWz
"Did someone just say 922Please respect copyright.PENANAY4ORZnxQQO
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 922Please respect copyright.PENANA9UDTGNlxL9
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"922Please respect copyright.PENANASeicjQMeN2
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.922Please respect copyright.PENANAHgvEtQRJMW
"You're doing that thing922Please respect copyright.PENANABCEHKpvvSA
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 922Please respect copyright.PENANAbQJ9rglYhS
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."922Please respect copyright.PENANAvZx32FwTPa
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."922Please respect copyright.PENANAaLQMN98UWV
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."922Please respect copyright.PENANAUWhPWacMro
"Ya, true," said Mike.922Please respect copyright.PENANAhsbzAZuIwA
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAffbpKjbMOa
"I'm not going to 922Please respect copyright.PENANAYZV29780u6
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and922Please respect copyright.PENANA22hnNAnbuN
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."922Please respect copyright.PENANAvmHNeqHW25
"No, I'm scared that 922Please respect copyright.PENANAxBbom4rUdG
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 922Please respect copyright.PENANAWkIQsQDHjY
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.922Please respect copyright.PENANAapAniJIBMQ
I looked at Zoey, then 922Please respect copyright.PENANAPirgZMZ0jC
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 922Please respect copyright.PENANAUoaYXHX6lF
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 922Please respect copyright.PENANA7c7OWmAudg
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready922Please respect copyright.PENANAmyrzzsalAO
for that bumpy ride again.922Please respect copyright.PENANACCoV0cV9dU
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.922Please respect copyright.PENANAGGmOZzbMCP
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.922Please respect copyright.PENANAwBHyZokEyw
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.922Please respect copyright.PENANABDLYDAl2Ja
Daniel's mouth gaped 922Please respect copyright.PENANAJoZwpUDfoL
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 922Please respect copyright.PENANABVu0UKQFiv
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"922Please respect copyright.PENANAWkOIVuggFJ
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."922Please respect copyright.PENANA5ozflZneIs
"Well, I think we can 922Please respect copyright.PENANAYAIVSm2rSX
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so922Please respect copyright.PENANAlQGyfjTS9A
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."922Please respect copyright.PENANABzhDSnI4be
"Same here," said Mino.922Please respect copyright.PENANADFrp3WOkmH
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAhEJS39a92c
Everyone including me 922Please respect copyright.PENANA3eKnZjcXrK
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 922Please respect copyright.PENANA9VUgv5FbSZ
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 922Please respect copyright.PENANAB1XyLFfNyv
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in922Please respect copyright.PENANAen9pMQMD7e
Times Square.922Please respect copyright.PENANAdbyPVC2epS
"There's an open food 922Please respect copyright.PENANA91N1m1UEWF
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 922Please respect copyright.PENANAwogWwlzP0O
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.922Please respect copyright.PENANAmtpiJS6oGo
"Gosh, I've now realised922Please respect copyright.PENANAj9sND1BxAw
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 922Please respect copyright.PENANAQpZG7O31v1
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.922Please respect copyright.PENANA99VONqpzgj
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.922Please respect copyright.PENANA5BkFukIOdt
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."922Please respect copyright.PENANACxPbYM16RG
"No wonder you Toxins 922Please respect copyright.PENANAI36fM1fPRw
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 922Please respect copyright.PENANAAQQxf5mKuQ
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."922Please respect copyright.PENANAd9m0jqktGG
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.922Please respect copyright.PENANAkjVDDbyHLN
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."922Please respect copyright.PENANAr4jPArGDqd
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."922Please respect copyright.PENANAt3LlDobyqd
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.922Please respect copyright.PENANAArldRWusXG
Zoey, Christine and the 922Please respect copyright.PENANAIC0kR3p2ND
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 922Please respect copyright.PENANAuEv4rCIEIa
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 922Please respect copyright.PENANAHq6K5DJEr0
going.922Please respect copyright.PENANAUvOVqQazwk
"That's insulting," said Jennie.922Please respect copyright.PENANATZcCvi65sO
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.922Please respect copyright.PENANAD00ZEGj2ug
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."922Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7HOpUYmVJ
I burst out laughing 922Please respect copyright.PENANAYZZgvejGTq
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 922Please respect copyright.PENANA4239eTJLlx
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 922Please respect copyright.PENANAvTSIDm3sBj
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 922Please respect copyright.PENANAISVVeNf1G2
other floors because that would surly be something.922Please respect copyright.PENANAzHd509KGYM
"Good one, TOP," said 922Please respect copyright.PENANAUPhsS1YzC1
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 922Please respect copyright.PENANAdV80HjlAJu
have thought of that in a million years."922Please respect copyright.PENANAwNuoW4lEyQ
Everyone continued to 922Please respect copyright.PENANArN303zblKF
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 922Please respect copyright.PENANAYgZ8nYWqFp
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 922Please respect copyright.PENANALGhlsf0fNq
how annoyed she was.922Please respect copyright.PENANAAjmxSmVoun
"I can't believe you 922Please respect copyright.PENANAag5csnO6Pg
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 922Please respect copyright.PENANA0tVnoHpWs6
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."922Please respect copyright.PENANA3ylwdQ3Fzl
"Don't worry, Zoey," 922Please respect copyright.PENANAKOfszG4ffw
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a922Please respect copyright.PENANAizWg62MEtd
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."922Please respect copyright.PENANAQcHKFw4UwR
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."922Please respect copyright.PENANA2HTYPSatOv
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."922Please respect copyright.PENANAruDzQijcqt
"I'll sting him so bad, 922Please respect copyright.PENANAR5gay8w1Fm
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at922Please respect copyright.PENANAo49FxTP5Pj
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.922Please respect copyright.PENANAoWAtWD099O
"Oh, look, a stage," 922Please respect copyright.PENANAWmSMAxZIMB
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from922Please respect copyright.PENANAQAViLhjHmI
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.922Please respect copyright.PENANAUlQQsuiiuU
In the direction Daniel 922Please respect copyright.PENANAcNG2iyX9FO
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 922Please respect copyright.PENANADJWirS5KdE
there and get up on it. We all followed him.922Please respect copyright.PENANAxeknokdLwX
"I've missed being on 922Please respect copyright.PENANAUKBw6ropgf
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 922Please respect copyright.PENANAG42TVuUFaS
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.922Please respect copyright.PENANAlqZBYQCsgu
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.922Please respect copyright.PENANA6EvOL6v7Kl
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.922Please respect copyright.PENANAKW1Y9b7wvN
"We're just having fun,"922Please respect copyright.PENANAn0Pt9d6THE
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.922Please respect copyright.PENANAOICVxmz8eo
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 922Please respect copyright.PENANAYiDNWDZctx
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 922Please respect copyright.PENANA1kJTIVIehb
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 922Please respect copyright.PENANAUlmO2M2DcP
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.922Please respect copyright.PENANAEsdXExYkF3
The rest of us down the 922Please respect copyright.PENANAfm9n0dWQTk
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 922Please respect copyright.PENANAwri99iAD6w
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 922Please respect copyright.PENANA3m0g1IzRba
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 922Please respect copyright.PENANA3xk60xyIC8
side of him was a shocker.922Please respect copyright.PENANAJejuiDp5oX
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."922Please respect copyright.PENANAoo5QUPAZMF
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.922Please respect copyright.PENANA0YzOUkWKVu
"Mum would be so proud,"922Please respect copyright.PENANAkQlzTdfvye
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 922Please respect copyright.PENANAYSnIswo8Kv
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."922Please respect copyright.PENANApReFJ5N3ZP
"Haha, very funny," said922Please respect copyright.PENANA4okHsJqvI6
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 922Please respect copyright.PENANA9CpYZtjhK9
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAJfZUGTRXVR
I looked at Mike and he 922Please respect copyright.PENANAczGuXN1KI8
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 922Please respect copyright.PENANAeqfUWb9Zg8
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 922Please respect copyright.PENANASAZ1y7GZZU
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."922Please respect copyright.PENANAO80BDiUg4i
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."922Please respect copyright.PENANAn9ZAunoptr
"I'm still not going to 922Please respect copyright.PENANASD6ItYj0bs
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 922Please respect copyright.PENANAkh12w1Ap39
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."922Please respect copyright.PENANAZ22sMGDQuv
"I'll join you then," said Mino as he walked up on stage and then turned around to look at Zoey offering his hand to led her up.922Please respect copyright.PENANAfVjWGVd20F
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.922Please respect copyright.PENANAf6eg8xb4iG
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.922Please respect copyright.PENANAkHPvRyoDeJ
"No," she said still not922Please respect copyright.PENANAy3Tff4myUm
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 922Please respect copyright.PENANAX3P1649jg4
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."922Please respect copyright.PENANAMSCtigUcye
Everyone turned to look 922Please respect copyright.PENANA8UawKQC04m
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 922Please respect copyright.PENANArPiqjrKjKW
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 922Please respect copyright.PENANAF9loa1HEIb
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 922Please respect copyright.PENANA25426ki3LW
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger922Please respect copyright.PENANAsNh2tyvTcJ
was to sweet talk her somehow.922Please respect copyright.PENANAGo5qHGTobA
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."922Please respect copyright.PENANAJmW3QhVf26
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.922Please respect copyright.PENANA2adOOxBfpE
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.922Please respect copyright.PENANAedgLUttzws
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"922Please respect copyright.PENANArQ2lVUJJQd
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.922Please respect copyright.PENANA9mOuLncmsW
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."922Please respect copyright.PENANAMxXzFLrQpo
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.922Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ3mdnhi3U
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.922Please respect copyright.PENANApK5f5zab6G
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.922Please respect copyright.PENANAGPnW1u5Hxz
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.922Please respect copyright.PENANAjFc41woBjF
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.922Please respect copyright.PENANAS8QgwUN6bF
I snapped my fingers 922Please respect copyright.PENANAWbCXOig2l9
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 922Please respect copyright.PENANA911eB8gyTh
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.922Please respect copyright.PENANAbhq7HTF2WO
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 922Please respect copyright.PENANAVW2f1o446F
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.922Please respect copyright.PENANAHMFGBmqVRk
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 922Please respect copyright.PENANAMcuBQeINvc
Lisa: You're sweet like 922Please respect copyright.PENANAZo1cTa2ANd
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]922Please respect copyright.PENANAdmk18pFdNJ
Jennie: You're sweet like 922Please respect copyright.PENANATWm6suETX2
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 922Please respect copyright.PENANALJASktKN6Q
We all ended up giving a922Please respect copyright.PENANAdPgk2PzLjM
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 922Please respect copyright.PENANANbVqWkh4Af
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 922Please respect copyright.PENANAcTmhlVvkaq
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 922Please respect copyright.PENANAIDWg89Ta9g
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 922Please respect copyright.PENANATTtpn29R5I
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.922Please respect copyright.PENANAHdU6COMwDu
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.922Please respect copyright.PENANAfOTyKy5Yhu
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.922Please respect copyright.PENANAyGoSLkDJ4B
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.922Please respect copyright.PENANAy0PcAlWA2S
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.922Please respect copyright.PENANAKulBzXMx3b
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.922Please respect copyright.PENANAKcWl6pgBm3
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.922Please respect copyright.PENANAVzKn1fBJ3M
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.922Please respect copyright.PENANAAOzJDu1JxQ
Im a fan all day.922Please respect copyright.PENANAEJlyhIb1r0
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.922Please respect copyright.PENANAkjcxnGNfFz
My manage behavior; Im into your major.922Please respect copyright.PENANANHk3wQVogO
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.922Please respect copyright.PENANARv35AODqnH
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:922Please respect copyright.PENANAYpKri2lMOJ
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.922Please respect copyright.PENANAVnc03bNlBK
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.922Please respect copyright.PENANAjJeAXjUtfd
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.922Please respect copyright.PENANALT4lIO2nJJ
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 922Please respect copyright.PENANA2ATIcGoRQA
The three couples on 922Please respect copyright.PENANAc4Qelwknpr
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And922Please respect copyright.PENANAULAbmtoV7i
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 922Please respect copyright.PENANAGjuto0XxH3
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 922Please respect copyright.PENANAzeJDJTBz7h
three couples surrounding me in a circle.922Please respect copyright.PENANA7tSDxkQ0rM
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]922Please respect copyright.PENANAyQCqgai0wl
This candy got you sprung [x2]922Please respect copyright.PENANAuUPnB1KGTL
So call me your sugar [x2]922Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pvybcpapx
You love you some [x2]922Please respect copyright.PENANAk33tjY2jYJ
I'm sweet like 922Please respect copyright.PENANAfkENnhgVhA
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 922Please respect copyright.PENANAe69vWawnFr
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]922Please respect copyright.PENANANRRuvGlI8A
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di922Please respect copyright.PENANAfPxqmjT6gS
Sugar922Please respect copyright.PENANAaBfWoyWJCs
Seunghoon came up on 922Please respect copyright.PENANADQt8mPPxkx
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 922Please respect copyright.PENANAlSYNayL5u9
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.922Please respect copyright.PENANAPrlIITVqPu
Down stage, Seungyoon 922Please respect copyright.PENANAp2KvWLwMbU
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a922Please respect copyright.PENANA6WvGD00TBo
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 922Please respect copyright.PENANA14F30prffy
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 922Please respect copyright.PENANAKx1KtboUWa
all did that simultaneously was awesome.922Please respect copyright.PENANAPZKR6gDSYw
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.922Please respect copyright.PENANAhsp1GJ3nU3
All: My lips like sugar (x2)922Please respect copyright.PENANAtBkErJD5Z9
This candy got you sprung (x2)922Please respect copyright.PENANAe4SAslSSIs
So call me your sugar (x2)922Please respect copyright.PENANARYh7fr0gIS
You love you some (x2)922Please respect copyright.PENANA8rrDmMc7gB
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)922Please respect copyright.PENANARUsIly2UzY
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 922Please respect copyright.PENANAlDHj7n6QyV
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di922Please respect copyright.PENANAhqbxRcSVtY
Sugar 922Please respect copyright.PENANAigrpipymOu
I922Please respect copyright.PENANAjd91HD3fCj
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 922Please respect copyright.PENANAjk3FwYdIJm
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 922Please respect copyright.PENANAkAr2yNeU9J
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 922Please respect copyright.PENANAiHBsHlBLav
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 922Please respect copyright.PENANAmTXTHvaFi1
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.922Please respect copyright.PENANAldZH7P3ss7
Onlookers922Please respect copyright.PENANAGyDgyF8FQu
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 922Please respect copyright.PENANAzZSinhSAfq
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 922Please respect copyright.PENANA3vMvcHjflk
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.922Please respect copyright.PENANA5LZDpf3tpo
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.922Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8IxTLrZbi
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.922Please respect copyright.PENANATAXxTZwxJq
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.922Please respect copyright.PENANAdQeKxYoItw
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.922Please respect copyright.PENANANGLxs4s55c
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.922Please respect copyright.PENANA0RBu6YGGwa
"Ya, we really should," I answered.922Please respect copyright.PENANAL4jTwuyT3o
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.922Please respect copyright.PENANA0n7pLvtcRB
"Take a bow," I said.922Please respect copyright.PENANAXfU7dd1TsU
Zoey who stood next to 922Please respect copyright.PENANAAYsqG2hGqp
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 922Please respect copyright.PENANAEswZR24OF8
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took922Please respect copyright.PENANAGVpgrP1Em7
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down922Please respect copyright.PENANAwUkF0l3GoS
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 922Please respect copyright.PENANA2XLoHZtjEY
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.922Please respect copyright.PENANAj0M1luLj8X
"Well, this just got 922Please respect copyright.PENANAxbTbTv3gai
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 922Please respect copyright.PENANAl9Ed7HZjAe
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.922Please respect copyright.PENANA3VoggPSyeH
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."922Please respect copyright.PENANAqaA9F5iI1y
The way Mike said it 922Please respect copyright.PENANAI2G1tPrqyj
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 922Please respect copyright.PENANAxEylyhd3tN
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 922Please respect copyright.PENANAOZkBXScl6L
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.922Please respect copyright.PENANA1m8he7CeNd
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.922Please respect copyright.PENANAy4pRLVqJwy
When I got down from the922Please respect copyright.PENANAsrdC2V6IUy
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 922Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3AlBzO0Ve
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in922Please respect copyright.PENANANV3o4Fsr7j
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I922Please respect copyright.PENANAMzneXBYYBs
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.922Please respect copyright.PENANAmbrd6hDJ4x
"Well, you guys sure 922Please respect copyright.PENANAe3PegUxhDF
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 922Please respect copyright.PENANAMXxjCMXK3k
had to warn the security before I could even get here."922Please respect copyright.PENANAtgHKtTzM09
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.922Please respect copyright.PENANARiEbA2Y4t2
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't922Please respect copyright.PENANAsCt3P1ywbY
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 922Please respect copyright.PENANALJOfnxPIVd
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAV3UI28kCaS
"We just missed you, 922Please respect copyright.PENANAgtZan1VdkR
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually922Please respect copyright.PENANAxPPL9bAzAz
with us but these past days you haven't."922Please respect copyright.PENANAXV9J8kyWSu
"You're right and I miss all of you too. Been caught up with work. And now, you have all given me a much bigger mess to clean."922Please respect copyright.PENANAOvuQoIITqR
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.922Please respect copyright.PENANAyD38fhxa0v
"He would've called by 922Please respect copyright.PENANAwd2WM6Bj0F
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 922Please respect copyright.PENANA01vHrWBr4O
no calls from the grim reapers yet."922Please respect copyright.PENANAaTs9mY72WW
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.922Please respect copyright.PENANAlCY0YTP6cY
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAlMyv8vOoBb
Immediately Lee focused 922Please respect copyright.PENANA341sSSlj0U
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone922Please respect copyright.PENANAbV0PJk1G7g
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 922Please respect copyright.PENANAMThD6VRGHt
couldn't blame them.922Please respect copyright.PENANAp4f6l8j11d
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.922Please respect copyright.PENANAao7bGp7h7G
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.922Please respect copyright.PENANAwIrotZTG0S
"How922Please respect copyright.PENANAQmswPuMUvl
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked922Please respect copyright.PENANAnUvsVzwt5V
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into922Please respect copyright.PENANAhTqpFHuW6f
your own dance hall."922Please respect copyright.PENANA74A8aLLSwu
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."922Please respect copyright.PENANAjJgu0OQfb0
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAFhkG6qfN0t
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.922Please respect copyright.PENANA05g9ZgzFOB
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....922Please respect copyright.PENANAQIljsDWopE
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.922Please respect copyright.PENANAX8F03W2sWC
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.922Please respect copyright.PENANAFGfAb5Dzkx
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.922Please respect copyright.PENANARKmuGxzKOq
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."922Please respect copyright.PENANAa4HrYLA9Nw
"No,922Please respect copyright.PENANAgECd9omEpK
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 922Please respect copyright.PENANAkAgxflaf7n
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell922Please respect copyright.PENANAokSytubqVP
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"922Please respect copyright.PENANAfUiYpzwpsu
"That would have been nice," said Mike with a stupid grin on his face. I threw him a look and the smile fell right away.922Please respect copyright.PENANA900OBmEPAH
"No, we met them today," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Seunghoon and looked at him. "You hid in the girl's closet?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAHpAscSiKQ4
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.922Please respect copyright.PENANAJ47bCH42Pr
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.922Please respect copyright.PENANAsgU02eDOXs
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.922Please respect copyright.PENANAGHa2jq1Bl8
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.922Please respect copyright.PENANARNIyqs3OET
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.922Please respect copyright.PENANAxfymiuESHh
I922Please respect copyright.PENANA9ON3g3kwbU
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 922Please respect copyright.PENANAnFckBONQRx
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 922Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y02ZPYq8K
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it922Please respect copyright.PENANA1Xx74TsdMr
was a lot to take in.922Please respect copyright.PENANAtpqifQNDaM
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."922Please respect copyright.PENANAZGGrXAxpps
"That's922Please respect copyright.PENANAE3rNmGZ4mP
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 922Please respect copyright.PENANA4cXClkfHBG
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 922Please respect copyright.PENANA9y11Sivbth
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 922Please respect copyright.PENANALhWgtGaR5S
still find out anyway."922Please respect copyright.PENANAtx1vRYgfLT
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."922Please respect copyright.PENANAWoITneoi0y
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.922Please respect copyright.PENANAVKzAOhIYg0
Everyone922Please respect copyright.PENANADkQj0Qdgc4
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 922Please respect copyright.PENANASeAx380ya8
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 922Please respect copyright.PENANAgmTSf3CVJt
somehow the anxiety was killing me.922Please respect copyright.PENANAbEial7QcZR
After922Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3qGNIjyWX
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan922Please respect copyright.PENANAvmcS74NO2T
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the922Please respect copyright.PENANA8EDyrW04GR
food court when Lee asked:922Please respect copyright.PENANA0xcuUM8YfV
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"922Please respect copyright.PENANAGuvfTCsNbj
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.922Please respect copyright.PENANAKSPZwJI4Fi
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.922Please respect copyright.PENANA1NiZ3Ktttj
"You922Please respect copyright.PENANAICRUr1ij4P
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 922Please respect copyright.PENANAcnjTzVPTPY
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 922Please respect copyright.PENANA7VwvPVO8vF
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."922Please respect copyright.PENANAQSc9XUBD7y
"I922Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZVAvUM4GC
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 922Please respect copyright.PENANAZdyksOUMYz
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 922Please respect copyright.PENANA8PcwptTnnZ
okay."922Please respect copyright.PENANA2AShGtoD9G
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.922Please respect copyright.PENANAxp3w0XDAv2
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."922Please respect copyright.PENANAn8EJUOrSwF
"You922Please respect copyright.PENANAoBamzCw7TK
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 922Please respect copyright.PENANACgnR4wrQW8
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 922Please respect copyright.PENANApZkB9wfNIN
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 922Please respect copyright.PENANA7VUdTO6oVC
don't know up to now."922Please respect copyright.PENANA3aRvdyX1de
"BTW922Please respect copyright.PENANA97bMulRiDO
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I922Please respect copyright.PENANAGfKZWZTU7D
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 922Please respect copyright.PENANAwO80wRw9Lm
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 922Please respect copyright.PENANAxq6CcaV7WN
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."922Please respect copyright.PENANAtY0CPjA6Pz
"I922Please respect copyright.PENANAYkZFEUPycx
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 922Please respect copyright.PENANA2YTqTYOmh0
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 922Please respect copyright.PENANAmcRmijOiVm
normal human perspective."922Please respect copyright.PENANAD2oIupNflO
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."922Please respect copyright.PENANATVLpcqe4qJ
"I think she is," said TOP.922Please respect copyright.PENANAXx8cEJNGCC
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.922Please respect copyright.PENANAsTniWmdfVP
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.922Please respect copyright.PENANA1vvot70MQa
Zoey922Please respect copyright.PENANAcpKMO5BvSQ
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 922Please respect copyright.PENANAqP54M0WS78
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.922Please respect copyright.PENANASqtBPiLD9s
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"922Please respect copyright.PENANABImBpsQ2we
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.922Please respect copyright.PENANAAkNuqDMeQH
Before922Please respect copyright.PENANAt2Aqxit96B
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she922Please respect copyright.PENANAGIMIFRVjEi
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 922Please respect copyright.PENANAOx2afOjJAN
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.922Please respect copyright.PENANA9LW7CPQNcQ
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.922Please respect copyright.PENANAdjf9Jqisxn
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.922Please respect copyright.PENANAi1v68VFtzI
The922Please respect copyright.PENANApeSXLMzxK9
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 922Please respect copyright.PENANAZYHQPoTsUz
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 922Please respect copyright.PENANA880C6jWoIL
would never stop fighting no matter what.922Please respect copyright.PENANAxLRaYluZLx
"I922Please respect copyright.PENANA2vPKcmlZja
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a922Please respect copyright.PENANAKSqtduiS6T
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 922Please respect copyright.PENANA9B9O01q3fI
it's full of drama too."922Please respect copyright.PENANAt54tyx732f
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.922Please respect copyright.PENANAVJi1IiQFks
"Do922Please respect copyright.PENANAJYuSbMSIk8
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 922Please respect copyright.PENANACtZMtvdAgv
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 922Please respect copyright.PENANAN5gPDWbCjA
court.922Please respect copyright.PENANA6YHHiwuo5m
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."922Please respect copyright.PENANArFYmNcVJHq
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."922Please respect copyright.PENANAEo6yRfHO16
"I hope so too," said Christine.922Please respect copyright.PENANAvnQxK5v6Q2
"Come922Please respect copyright.PENANAMaiCEgDbkH
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 922Please respect copyright.PENANA15Ckahw62r
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."922Please respect copyright.PENANALQNcT0esEC
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.922Please respect copyright.PENANA3KFfxDlg2p
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.922Please respect copyright.PENANAV9tNB2kxlw
As922Please respect copyright.PENANAiy4WhZL2s4
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning922Please respect copyright.PENANAPr6VhTcErT
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 922Please respect copyright.PENANAXJebvY6Oh8
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 922Please respect copyright.PENANAZMnu8meA2t
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 922Please respect copyright.PENANA2bRejgtopJ
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.922Please respect copyright.PENANAcTqiTVlw3m
I922Please respect copyright.PENANA4Z72t9YJs2
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 922Please respect copyright.PENANAS59CHvq2C4
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might922Please respect copyright.PENANAydpTdgPfEF
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 922Please respect copyright.PENANALW3LyLtH92
of the blue may arise.922Please respect copyright.PENANA2VxFyLPvTX
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
