Lee's P.O.V1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWqamo86lfh
I was so tired as I sat 1002Please respect copyright.PENANApdxtJCnD8g
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAa6kGqODkEP
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 1002Please respect copyright.PENANALQgdQdRYcQ
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAq3JdDzEqVA
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6TOXIoGrD4
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYy5NhZerHN
The past two days have 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmW2ZtsIQ73
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAArR77VJGIS
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANALrWApRO04G
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being1002Please respect copyright.PENANA11N4ysGgRI
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3xTbiRiOda
complain.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1m16PGaplh
Why should I complain? 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6bL88gx0up
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1M6Bo667hb
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 1002Please respect copyright.PENANApbOoLg0m98
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3QvXAHmj45
I really love my job. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z8SLP9A1n
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsTd008TFxg
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5X8Nn1UzEM
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.1002Please respect copyright.PENANANoSAbL3Qre
Collins is strict and 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuoYi7LaO3y
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAH3p3wVzt49
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 1002Please respect copyright.PENANACkc96BpsM5
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJjDfHgIwXK
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlGmnxdSKq8
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGVgil1qYdA
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvKQ6OjPfum
over the years.1002Please respect copyright.PENANATjcQNd5PEt
And another reason I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuP6bk6CZHm
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected1002Please respect copyright.PENANAslRw38LsSg
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfwQ06O60ue
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwP1a6msa7F
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdnj5IcSEgz
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIGsGAE9GSB
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcz79BC7fDw
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbJxcl4CnFy
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqmiby1iPTE
how they have managed to make it this far.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiVGQq3aGym
As I remained seated and1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUQpZACFzE2
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much1002Please respect copyright.PENANAD6X8xWWMeK
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEefM8mMPr6
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAs7GRFcw27d
like that at all.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAncMDMH7XNC
Not that I'm acting like1002Please respect copyright.PENANAstehn4bZQX
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 1002Please respect copyright.PENANARHpy6MYM5n
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXqzZZ9hCdS
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOBoBBm9VpW
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXz8UGc03za
help in any way I can.1002Please respect copyright.PENANACeLh0zSEPp
I looked at the time on 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlUvZDbSnSc
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANABzmNu7Kk4I
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnp0kOknRln
I quickly grabbed my 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfCZQzPzPF5
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAO9oO7fswXL
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJEZvO95lbt
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0fnVo8NSXD
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAb7WDk4tLoZ
"Ya, we're done with practise."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAW9kcVxLtLR
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.1002Please respect copyright.PENANALyvUIzAHbH
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAf2S6k8kJSb
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuc3akejFeA
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFQz9yUNSdK
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5hi5faw2WR
Whatever ounce of 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAP5BZ02Oq1A
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyvc1T1Cdyb
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxAYs7NwUMq
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAPhxz1SXq8S
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAy6Sj8CJRhc
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4ugVdUIJFm
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."1002Please respect copyright.PENANALIiqYs6TxM
"Is Collins with you?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANARfARiivxmL
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."1002Please respect copyright.PENANANXQ6G8DUdP
"Good. I've something else to tell you."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJTedWO69pV
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhxv93tyU51
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEIRoQnw1FO
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAId2Jw6TXlx
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaCr3oR4n6J
"Tell me then," I insisted.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtIvrEMIkt7
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZeRWZiRcH
"Did you and TOP kiss?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAPx97aYIoGG
"What! No! No way!"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAx9qAG8brzi
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtTOZ5ahApc
"What makes you think that?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZKHTwAoPQ6
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7yJWdAwpQE
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."1002Please respect copyright.PENANApk8vjwv9QE
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiVykply9Ch
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0GuiGM8Lwo
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."1002Please respect copyright.PENANADMasTr630a
"Try me, Sam. I've been 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgwIBVkcrlb
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXrEjl4AI99
on that I won't be surprised this time around."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIHNrQcwiaa
"No, Lee, this time it's different."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAu8gUcQICwH
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxSPypZxUfE
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."1002Please respect copyright.PENANApLbmGevftx
Before Sam could say 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtBCO1qMmsO
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAettn8i1jtP
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAI9ehxMxjIN
quickly realised that it wasn't.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsLm5jIWtAq
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.1002Please respect copyright.PENANADZN44TALqr
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmH6czRlbEX
"What the what! Sam! 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOx2zVRgBYJ
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyF6sMalIi7
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEnwE0U9EI7
"Wait, hold on, give me a1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAwojCoprxp
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5uiDbIq6de
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nqu8gYnSq
tell you."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAloPyX0BS34
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAk2SwHWtdJx
"Seunghoon from WINNER."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMViXDYLQ6I
I thought the world 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaISPB2fVdo
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9piSniBCrf
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4qLHwQmkWQ
"Sam, I'm going to faint1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y7mjscvjr
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAD5GaZNr3Gb
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8RbgugMrs8
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXqJWHIxFtY
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAN0HkaLSULc
"I know, but I've a plan."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9KRHkSUNu1
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMioK22rsz5
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlfcwqHjMaR
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9nCMVT7E02
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAh5oKC8IWay
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzFlxXHnvcF
"Or you can just join in1002Please respect copyright.PENANAjJtzGO3rJF
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAP1Gt4i4LCi
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuCerKNkLkp
"Okay, I'll be there. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeShGz7EJUU
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAU4DXQq5KyF
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3T0nYBfBU9
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6v1V3GWJJn
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcsxwUVp5dz
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAR2sLP7fTlp
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAY5xVWH6KNB
"Alright, I'm on my way."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvDlMQzxcOo
I quickly cut the call 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAx68lhMDWie
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8nNeBFcAsp
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFsNCTLXO85
the trending list, I was a little confused.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzOBUdbpoTV
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5FEkjkOqUJ
***1002Please respect copyright.PENANAv8IyyWYnSt
Sam's P.O.V1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaXWH51bfV3
I1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4HORubScMF
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWxOGcggcoX
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAf2oDUTsfuK
the fans.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaKBY3pt6YN
Since1002Please respect copyright.PENANADOGSVn6AFs
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYZUxQgqeBj
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwBJ8VvyV64
massive Times Square complex.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0HW1xxrUAU
So1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXn2tNP82qf
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzEr4g2oHZz
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA33VnFjqtjq
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 1002Please respect copyright.PENANATkroa92rih
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAD5b2cZMXAH
serious.1002Please respect copyright.PENANANkNsoN89uo
"It's1002Please respect copyright.PENANADZNUHJkZXw
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnhgj7Crlcz
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 1002Please respect copyright.PENANATijcOOviA2
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsZOnCcSiJj
I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAynEWtxuDKR
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdxOGsZ2g2z
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGvBLUd2kEC
somewhat worrying.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAPsUn9QqKqS
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuWwtceLZik
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZGlFM1tNY
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOEKkZbPRhU
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnKRlHr1r02
"You're right. I do."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdrv1psUEWK
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYK8fqDkLWK
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWrkttmgS9a
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7CmLQKhlG8
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAU8WEMzMB4v
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANActjvxIVBBN
"You're1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqkT7dv2QPf
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFVODiAjbbB
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGehwoQwkkq
around here."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFIP1PEpQH6
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.1002Please respect copyright.PENANABVExORLcCa
"Who said we need to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnaKJ1u51qN
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlcNNycj2j3
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAbJoc2A5SV
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiZNK8goPLC
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAI3YvpVXMgb
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYafX32UpPf
"Where?" Zoey asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZigHxrLoQI
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqhg65qJJ41
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQOzoE0J2do
"Wait, a minute!" I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxXGfeeQmXI
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkgnxLBFGmG
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1AHDRZfvRw
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6dZelSUVtJ
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlDc7QJc3uU
"Did someone just say 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVVAYxREFKt
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAxh0VY1h5J
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAX8Gi4oG7EZ
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuFULAyk8uA
"You're doing that thing1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhB34kZOgV2
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuygyINlxjg
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4izi2eVGWa
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1m1mqFAzyw
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGkHF9KZjMf
"Ya, true," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAryRp2EcUmu
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMynSzE21aq
"I'm not going to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvCYsVh8WoA
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYlymRven0i
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."1002Please respect copyright.PENANATaezzbCZuC
"No, I'm scared that 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOpRLxfj3Nc
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 1002Please respect copyright.PENANADH9o7G5O8G
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.1002Please respect copyright.PENANApX4hGxFq6I
I looked at Zoey, then 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxUvJQLCEzo
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQtBUsXcHyM
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9hqsbb2Fg5
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQb8i29FB7l
for that bumpy ride again.1002Please respect copyright.PENANALsA5LDNptz
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.1002Please respect copyright.PENANARXcZhti9zb
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8RQ7NLHd40
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.1002Please respect copyright.PENANALpjzbGHcRg
Daniel's mouth gaped 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9ufZaHufRX
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0R5sDA09Rj
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXiReDYQTqc
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."1002Please respect copyright.PENANALqtBrhD3kw
"Well, I think we can 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6dKTL0riZU
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so1002Please respect copyright.PENANA616cT1N62v
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."1002Please respect copyright.PENANACapSsVA5iI
"Same here," said Mino.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMV2cj2AKej
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvRJuFBg9fp
Everyone including me 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9L9BsPxGOZ
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHGW2miW4PQ
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 1002Please respect copyright.PENANARom53AZ8dY
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmcnqkpZagB
Times Square.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA9aas17SuKg
"There's an open food 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAoWQuCnbrQZ
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfwrqY5lkqd
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAC9iIjZhci3
"Gosh, I've now realised1002Please respect copyright.PENANASR1Z7HQhnZ
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqnpzlm20OM
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4QcEwlmnth
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAos0cTjz0h
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAh2yFDTcJjI
"No wonder you Toxins 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZKUvbNVPTW
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKxeMrdh69b
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA86X9xwYeyM
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOTfN4UjNW3
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJiRugXrN9g
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6g4ThmpErV
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAoB6LMEun0v
Zoey, Christine and the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6TeiWaamW
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIDyycDAMVu
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4gpa7Fuktf
going.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZL3H8bQNTt
"That's insulting," said Jennie.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAi9JFP367y3
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGBuAoes2J4
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAEoxKvu154
I burst out laughing 1002Please respect copyright.PENANARKCpDj84FX
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAI7qD4tdVhm
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKuTPhg0Jsc
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAy7RNnAid2S
other floors because that would surly be something.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzJEFZamkVc
"Good one, TOP," said 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAt5XddM3oSL
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAF6CPU9G1fe
have thought of that in a million years."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxDYFtA9nk3
Everyone continued to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgS9p98wG5k
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAur7gPhKTJ
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8FvPEJZDS0
how annoyed she was.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAH5fgcnq3jX
"I can't believe you 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcIYhMLeBL7
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiLQfRQPgvQ
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgtgqfnoNvo
"Don't worry, Zoey," 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1V8Yb81Bth
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVN9Tglg3yy
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."1002Please respect copyright.PENANALD0JKs3nUJ
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGLHnxIJ4kz
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5WLVhqz6GF
"I'll sting him so bad, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAPcJbu1kq3
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVrDeRX0yel
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA727F4qRFcg
"Oh, look, a stage," 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaw5yVKLclU
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQFw5Y1Mo4I
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXm37J0t85Q
In the direction Daniel 1002Please respect copyright.PENANArMiAMTBtEr
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6MLY6JQU2h
there and get up on it. We all followed him.1002Please respect copyright.PENANArKnHOUvNWm
"I've missed being on 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkd7R3JtxyE
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxzdYuy9k0e
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4YjihNA5XZ
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAE4RjWDGxmI
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAu4ReOlNLPC
"We're just having fun,"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxjcIf7mwrs
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuAH386ZqoV
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkGb9zzVfRE
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2tnbHUqixS
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhUUP4ha3sr
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAycE9dZaMmo
The rest of us down the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8cLg0puqpb
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAl9ExBzBNCL
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXjsahkITk2
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmhvz1j1gXC
side of him was a shocker.1002Please respect copyright.PENANASZe5EfUpW2
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqTyemb36DH
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.1002Please respect copyright.PENANArOhgGvCkOr
"Mum would be so proud,"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAs79hk8mp0S
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA63tzP72BZC
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOyg62BntnA
"Haha, very funny," said1002Please respect copyright.PENANAh0qsxGiAco
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 1002Please respect copyright.PENANArq7GR4xEMy
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFoU6Zw0zA2
I looked at Mike and he 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1assT26S3d
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOWjkfkvO1o
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHhSBUqZCHt
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYXZWe9oECb
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIlDKd1Hg01
"I'm still not going to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFiYQVsRNS0
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIBFE98Hv3Q
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeIZHkpr9eF
"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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmTKJXmYrCD
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMQbnG5ucnm
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUcpzCWjEJw
"No," she said still not1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWmYMclP0Ub
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiRkUN9oLOT
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7bDbFzR6T
Everyone turned to look 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIHl6Jt6y04
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJYpRUJc8Bc
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuApPh8IegC
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUaEmiVoI5L
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8ND35RmVr
was to sweet talk her somehow.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZemOJ69INt
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgCyv0iKb4K
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8yzSW6mgGk
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcOCgB3Xbes
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAv6B3Tj6xHj
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQui4orcnuw
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxdHonViURu
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfFgGvloL6C
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmIdZsySlPt
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiocydeVzrc
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOdR0ps5sw9
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAAZGKJPOEUA
I snapped my fingers 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaU4hLjsd1J
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGZtli3VnyS
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZI7g9e8w4p
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKviLCUtbXJ
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVXQ69a80kN
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAn29ajs7mJ9
Lisa: You're sweet like 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeLGXn04LJ2
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1kVc8xoozj
Jennie: You're sweet like 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtKX2pK0a9f
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAR8B17DxsfX
We all ended up giving a1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVHjUKlBA9i
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAk9oCQwwVoe
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwWbx0HX5Zf
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAl9068rCucf
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdjrTjw2UoW
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKONzy5f1I3
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAa8VCxEHKOA
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuJYorEaOaw
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.1002Please respect copyright.PENANASdDEUbe0Xx
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUqbnjJAiHr
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwVUxLfj6C2
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAcPkJleRaxA
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeHP37TgiEg
Im a fan all day.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAILd0ym0YBz
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5gYblk1h5O
My manage behavior; Im into your major.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAtW9AdhGHem
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.1002Please respect copyright.PENANANFUa3HQrMS
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:1002Please respect copyright.PENANARt81tpHQbm
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAypwvx8h6nP
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAY42lgYnkYm
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAPsVXlBXUr2
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1hMZv3BKlh
The three couples on 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWSrTFGspbJ
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And1002Please respect copyright.PENANAjkC5tPC55e
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlv22CLkM6L
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkjZBEePRlx
three couples surrounding me in a circle.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiX2LocnSvx
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]1002Please respect copyright.PENANALqcWrwsAWe
This candy got you sprung [x2]1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUvsxrS3qbT
So call me your sugar [x2]1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkTXrMq8cjh
You love you some [x2]1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqwm7NYOaRL
I'm sweet like 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfs8CLgBw7c
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1002Please respect copyright.PENANArJSP3gaxB2
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]1002Please respect copyright.PENANAh6pPwKRlX3
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxwjSDtyxBx
Sugar1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFNUtKU0KYN
Seunghoon came up on 1002Please respect copyright.PENANABMhDs6Kcj2
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAV5y5qqp2xg
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0GemagI6FV
Down stage, Seungyoon 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFJZUkZ5ENs
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a1002Please respect copyright.PENANAv2dgedw93a
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZnqcUrVWiM
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3LOM5iDPL8
all did that simultaneously was awesome.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwsJzY1eHE8
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQhCV4HGsTB
All: My lips like sugar (x2)1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhej2WqTePC
This candy got you sprung (x2)1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUtJaJviVQp
So call me your sugar (x2)1002Please respect copyright.PENANAzYEUIUKO4m
You love you some (x2)1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXX3QzCz3l4
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMS7Nk91Ayq
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 1002Please respect copyright.PENANATl06w0frh7
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIe41UuB4F1
Sugar 1002Please respect copyright.PENANApuYAufso5H
I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhj7DsSAAOy
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2YMk74Bsq4
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAA2kEx4lamF
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAE8DEQWRzoU
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5TFESRZPl3
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmCdrfwCWPb
Onlookers1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgh4En37ZSH
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEvqbPJDmPS
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAxUHGdKqfGk
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8YuzYwIg2s
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA13RYYDTyzS
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAT8xkUlxWwv
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAioeasbXhli
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAt79AAiyqG5
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAjwgRTdzsar
"Ya, we really should," I answered.1002Please respect copyright.PENANASz3Jfg85Mg
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAT6tm2JV4DV
"Take a bow," I said.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIjJDg0vzGi
Zoey who stood next to 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA44LwLmgDqW
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAsEpuJnaBEC
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWvoJKXtZWB
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down1002Please respect copyright.PENANAD7o8ZMa4cJ
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFZCyBzIqyQ
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgmLCrIk4Vp
"Well, this just got 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbrDiecUBrV
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAR4uKRx3ykU
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGvTbp6vHHJ
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2rCkperRRR
The way Mike said it 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZXIIxG0kmz
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8UrkAL1u19
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANALqr9g8eNB2
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAywc4bcOyQO
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAiHSFt4iZ7V
When I got down from the1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1zxSs1dTZK
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlXGllZvGxC
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFTG8cgLZDx
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qtpf34mCA
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7WlXyRt3yo
"Well, you guys sure 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5g9C6yPCj6
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfGf19lpj7v
had to warn the security before I could even get here."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMIcbIZfHND
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAotnzUAXFRX
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWT5PSl0f2z
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEn5DFAbqwh
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAe0fsEvmZMj
"We just missed you, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANArgKv6dVJ6l
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7A6Fqca27j
with us but these past days you haven't."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAjPFci3QhRF
"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."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkurTzG264p
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUfHmz8k0on
"He would've called by 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAjhFXI9musm
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7KRVSAYdhB
no calls from the grim reapers yet."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOBBdWYWks2
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdqDfiJcJ9X
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAl64ormqVbz
Immediately Lee focused 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOFnsXAczWo
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone1002Please respect copyright.PENANAO01TAS2zKF
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7aRfzHOmFU
couldn't blame them.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAK9YUDpWyvu
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAWtUqEkSolp
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAPPxcy9mg3L
"How1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlTo8sgiXYd
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked1002Please respect copyright.PENANA18m8pJHirs
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into1002Please respect copyright.PENANALOLKHF3FEa
your own dance hall."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAhXnCq7vh9v
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4m7CCkoaP1
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAKYqFaIqcPt
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA91xOkisZA2
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....1002Please respect copyright.PENANARnsez0XWoo
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAFu8fSq8lL4
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMfqINrziEz
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbJQZrOAEWL
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAClbLEcP7nu
"No,1002Please respect copyright.PENANA2zjaaa3Xhw
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMYxgij8sKL
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeHoVqZfPnM
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAP4fOWiaJjv
"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.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAaYXfFKERfA
"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?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAz83GIYhXEq
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIarc8YfTm6
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAuCFD0MdyzT
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAvxXIHen1dv
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAIXvxW6Kvgk
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEBJCfR10OK
I1002Please respect copyright.PENANA8Dr67NslHd
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 1002Please respect copyright.PENANACzmIQxBHWV
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAA5moNON48W
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it1002Please respect copyright.PENANAQjLNyKXWPF
was a lot to take in.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6PbXakgEKG
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAT6D6yUz5kA
"That's1002Please respect copyright.PENANAS8sA9Sacgr
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 1002Please respect copyright.PENANABhUz5e4DEr
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVfGtPU19st
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yf1vYukb8
still find out anyway."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeMHNEJ8HT2
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdDmo3ZTcAJ
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmrglvazs68
Everyone1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3KSA2ivjHi
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA1E3ScNasgI
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAVIIndY7d4e
somehow the anxiety was killing me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJra0aScjop
After1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnLTqqNBNma
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan1002Please respect copyright.PENANAc8uCE7PVhI
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmJNMEpPKRm
food court when Lee asked:1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3rDOxUjDa7
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHGVOhm7hiJ
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfIcma33oWX
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAOGnTUfmlIZ
"You1002Please respect copyright.PENANAs080ypOmVA
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 1002Please respect copyright.PENANALIIALoVE0w
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 1002Please respect copyright.PENANADjM2qoPzlc
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5V71dPkK75
"I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgsCsFKkC3a
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA97avaKyKYf
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAUOGR9OEjo2
okay."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7UhTPEZvX6
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHOMfHv2MF1
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAEiB94bjhvn
"You1002Please respect copyright.PENANA63qErql10A
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 1002Please respect copyright.PENANArhVUIN2g4V
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAb1qg5R06Dv
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA7nv7FP9Flv
don't know up to now."1002Please respect copyright.PENANApQNpXK1vH2
"BTW1002Please respect copyright.PENANAywG816z30u
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAS591KqfsCv
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 1002Please respect copyright.PENANACEOzbZT54U
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4OQHyVEt6d
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnOCyJGjAmJ
"I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGjPtr6oBaA
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMq0ZW1k8sa
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdbwKr55fSf
normal human perspective."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAkWUfgMkou4
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyhsOIGFtmz
"I think she is," said TOP.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA264nhWQji7
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMTEPKoj2Kv
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAnFtybaSNEJ
Zoey1002Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ3dr5OHB1
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAwA46txG7iQ
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAax1Wv7uoQY
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"1002Please respect copyright.PENANAz55GUt8zQ4
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA5441VZOBFH
Before1002Please respect copyright.PENANAci2yP8Dwj2
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she1002Please respect copyright.PENANASWvF6PgpaZ
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAbBHm1VRfJ0
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgpVsEuqXw3
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.1002Please respect copyright.PENANANBUBPpdn4Z
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.1002Please respect copyright.PENANASB1TnXM2et
The1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXvfqtEw7Ls
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAlfYPOyNOlO
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 1002Please respect copyright.PENANApYJ43XEHII
would never stop fighting no matter what.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA19WSOhTFe1
"I1002Please respect copyright.PENANA3Un9qbmv96
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a1002Please respect copyright.PENANAJDR3yF8iBO
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAGMKynSsOS9
it's full of drama too."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA0fzUkod5I2
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAqvbBbE9Q9K
"Do1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXqpvc8nEhU
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAYt4mDp6y6D
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAz8nbymM5NE
court.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAehGih3gf6A
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6zlPd25euY
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."1002Please respect copyright.PENANAfQScrOsdxQ
"I hope so too," said Christine.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAZA6qPEeed2
"Come1002Please respect copyright.PENANArSLCcy4Uf7
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAakltW9dgry
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."1002Please respect copyright.PENANARpsTZiPdZs
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAXBIyWWo8U3
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAmQWV8Cwtis
As1002Please respect copyright.PENANAdthc0lBnmz
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning1002Please respect copyright.PENANApvGexYppFv
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAeoTQUthPpC
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA4ATq15K9hq
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAyA1acWVa9y
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.1002Please respect copyright.PENANA77Kp787G54
I1002Please respect copyright.PENANAg18pBwhGZH
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 1002Please respect copyright.PENANAHYP4vU9LdY
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might1002Please respect copyright.PENANAgfKDmNTzl6
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 1002Please respect copyright.PENANA6bowkLtsfH
of the blue may arise.1002Please respect copyright.PENANAR7EfSbViFP
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
