Lee's P.O.V964Please respect copyright.PENANADwzyXntpGI
I was so tired as I sat 964Please respect copyright.PENANAN2PYKPtcU6
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 964Please respect copyright.PENANA9zyg4gG68q
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 964Please respect copyright.PENANA3B38HUbzAt
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 964Please respect copyright.PENANAIV5TShpGR9
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 964Please respect copyright.PENANA36vnHpFb29
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.964Please respect copyright.PENANAN29YUH0qMI
The past two days have 964Please respect copyright.PENANAhD31SXoT79
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 964Please respect copyright.PENANA9qdiiKTuF2
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 964Please respect copyright.PENANAPuWCnHq9uN
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being964Please respect copyright.PENANAStzn47zlYp
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 964Please respect copyright.PENANA6T4xJkTJ1I
complain.964Please respect copyright.PENANALY59qubXUo
Why should I complain? 964Please respect copyright.PENANAvilqWvH61l
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when964Please respect copyright.PENANAz3UkjCnORk
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 964Please respect copyright.PENANAEDYcNqx78p
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.964Please respect copyright.PENANA4pfPeLkl4L
I really love my job. 964Please respect copyright.PENANA1aMuII3l3y
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.964Please respect copyright.PENANABjnApm1KtJ
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 964Please respect copyright.PENANAPhjWf0OiRv
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.964Please respect copyright.PENANAyjn2XzmINH
Collins is strict and 964Please respect copyright.PENANALLVvz8hFAX
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 964Please respect copyright.PENANAAnzHupu7Sz
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 964Please respect copyright.PENANAqmKwCn2b9y
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only964Please respect copyright.PENANAHXCQemB64x
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set964Please respect copyright.PENANAmOsdx2LTgl
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 964Please respect copyright.PENANAhNJuRvKWVw
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends964Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ3d1OHqdm
over the years.964Please respect copyright.PENANAiMQIBkhqC2
And another reason I 964Please respect copyright.PENANAnli8Vd6KPM
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected964Please respect copyright.PENANAaTlDnFegUV
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 964Please respect copyright.PENANAnlXYSlfwyT
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 964Please respect copyright.PENANAaBnYnDiSa2
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 964Please respect copyright.PENANArvRgCqzk8d
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 964Please respect copyright.PENANAaKQFsR2ae2
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 964Please respect copyright.PENANAJSRwURz3rh
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 964Please respect copyright.PENANAXBb751CTtD
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's964Please respect copyright.PENANAoq7CIGC9cI
how they have managed to make it this far.964Please respect copyright.PENANA4igdW6X2R5
As I remained seated and964Please respect copyright.PENANAVECurzNfUo
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much964Please respect copyright.PENANAavOXIx6933
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 964Please respect copyright.PENANAiTCwjzw4Es
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 964Please respect copyright.PENANADMusVw34TC
like that at all.964Please respect copyright.PENANAeGWAZXOkxT
Not that I'm acting like964Please respect copyright.PENANAUnPvWAWhtX
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 964Please respect copyright.PENANA5TBPePQkgm
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 964Please respect copyright.PENANAaZP9eE8YRC
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 964Please respect copyright.PENANADBo7r4tgGh
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to964Please respect copyright.PENANAxNrRlZN6dd
help in any way I can.964Please respect copyright.PENANAsuB6KbABDL
I looked at the time on 964Please respect copyright.PENANAOGL5YHGmyA
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 964Please respect copyright.PENANAwzRr7e3sAj
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.964Please respect copyright.PENANAAOiSAdzuIz
I quickly grabbed my 964Please respect copyright.PENANA6fSLPO3eVR
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 964Please respect copyright.PENANAWAk3r0Wb0C
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.964Please respect copyright.PENANAjiIAsqwKAK
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.964Please respect copyright.PENANA5j6M0PfoYo
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."964Please respect copyright.PENANAyoMWEOUVna
"Ya, we're done with practise."964Please respect copyright.PENANAvluD9aPILE
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.964Please respect copyright.PENANAkXGpotteJP
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"964Please respect copyright.PENANA7OGr8fYUEa
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."964Please respect copyright.PENANA7nSWGXw6Ev
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAimBGAHEHTv
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."964Please respect copyright.PENANA0Phj7hUF8j
Whatever ounce of 964Please respect copyright.PENANAidvH3kHNmZ
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 964Please respect copyright.PENANAYQozSRW9EF
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously964Please respect copyright.PENANAOlEQckajdC
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.964Please respect copyright.PENANALdUbnbnkz9
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.964Please respect copyright.PENANAnkSwp6Wgjh
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."964Please respect copyright.PENANAiA5PuwEE5H
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."964Please respect copyright.PENANA1bakgMlT9G
"Is Collins with you?"964Please respect copyright.PENANA9Bth97jznQ
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."964Please respect copyright.PENANAnDWT6qXi3r
"Good. I've something else to tell you."964Please respect copyright.PENANAWRpgNhS6oE
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAuoOtMY0x9y
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."964Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ69bPV1q3
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."964Please respect copyright.PENANAiyEjpfC70j
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."964Please respect copyright.PENANA8F9PIoPkj0
"Tell me then," I insisted.964Please respect copyright.PENANAwkvTIXE3pd
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."964Please respect copyright.PENANA4R769mgCxn
"Did you and TOP kiss?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAhIKTb52jdZ
"What! No! No way!"964Please respect copyright.PENANAszKe7JwG3P
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."964Please respect copyright.PENANAR2VaDekKUK
"What makes you think that?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAdQriHhNTZh
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."964Please respect copyright.PENANANeVud9aEJk
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."964Please respect copyright.PENANAx70b2AKrk6
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAl7WpRxUcaN
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.964Please respect copyright.PENANAVHnpZ3PI8v
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."964Please respect copyright.PENANASRky625cW4
"Try me, Sam. I've been 964Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ4WwSbLRF
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 964Please respect copyright.PENANA9DJ2104SIc
on that I won't be surprised this time around."964Please respect copyright.PENANAMcrOoImnd3
"No, Lee, this time it's different."964Please respect copyright.PENANAcxDxIbx6A8
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."964Please respect copyright.PENANAFxh94lfkxc
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."964Please respect copyright.PENANAps5ML23dlx
Before Sam could say 964Please respect copyright.PENANABLimx7h18s
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 964Please respect copyright.PENANAANIGEvXV00
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 964Please respect copyright.PENANA8VtKfs6pjL
quickly realised that it wasn't.964Please respect copyright.PENANAHFbMaAPKUI
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.964Please respect copyright.PENANAvUx1Oubln4
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.964Please respect copyright.PENANAIt1zfGiqEu
"What the what! Sam! 964Please respect copyright.PENANAuOkU2Bvu2r
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 964Please respect copyright.PENANALBmqhZRn5f
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.964Please respect copyright.PENANArAIvy8HmYA
"Wait, hold on, give me a964Please respect copyright.PENANAalQb602msU
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 964Please respect copyright.PENANA83a88vJGk6
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 964Please respect copyright.PENANACdokFRyNkR
tell you."964Please respect copyright.PENANAuQFamsDtMK
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAsZn0U9e7v8
"Seunghoon from WINNER."964Please respect copyright.PENANA8VE2HFYGCM
I thought the world 964Please respect copyright.PENANA0s9GL4p55K
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt964Please respect copyright.PENANACh5XNgko9O
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.964Please respect copyright.PENANAsp06Oy1pgP
"Sam, I'm going to faint964Please respect copyright.PENANApFk7nMdhzU
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 964Please respect copyright.PENANAFMN6swYcQi
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAx7nXleaJD3
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."964Please respect copyright.PENANAMuUOwicv6F
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."964Please respect copyright.PENANAP2jX5cnEEa
"I know, but I've a plan."964Please respect copyright.PENANA5VVucu96iN
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"964Please respect copyright.PENANADZjuSkMmGh
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."964Please respect copyright.PENANAHgUSoa3EXr
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAEdAGyqiszR
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."964Please respect copyright.PENANA00sXwsoPas
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."964Please respect copyright.PENANA1tMO3lmBhp
"Or you can just join in964Please respect copyright.PENANAQgqmdo48FV
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 964Please respect copyright.PENANA5lP3BhxITV
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."964Please respect copyright.PENANAe0slAUiDqZ
"Okay, I'll be there. 964Please respect copyright.PENANAtOqBzePmtq
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 964Please respect copyright.PENANAaxnqrkqKN2
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 964Please respect copyright.PENANAfflRB10Xf1
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAqEpDZXoOjZ
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."964Please respect copyright.PENANA5FGLZL4bHm
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."964Please respect copyright.PENANAEE7IHO94oF
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."964Please respect copyright.PENANA3mvmGJ0Adk
"Alright, I'm on my way."964Please respect copyright.PENANAwuMMSB0baf
I quickly cut the call 964Please respect copyright.PENANA1VxBOA2E0t
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 964Please respect copyright.PENANAsLjyPq73LC
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 964Please respect copyright.PENANAXB3EOdrDqS
the trending list, I was a little confused.964Please respect copyright.PENANAvVilKVl0iL
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.964Please respect copyright.PENANAe5uJ1rJPEX
***964Please respect copyright.PENANA89nP5c8C0J
Sam's P.O.V964Please respect copyright.PENANAEOol4i2gPE
I964Please respect copyright.PENANAQDONcISXTg
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 964Please respect copyright.PENANAfLnu8t8sUC
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 964Please respect copyright.PENANAHQYyYkD4eW
the fans.964Please respect copyright.PENANASjrK1P5pu6
Since964Please respect copyright.PENANASwKz6rdgIn
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 964Please respect copyright.PENANAXNwYHTPyzI
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 964Please respect copyright.PENANAsasPDc352h
massive Times Square complex.964Please respect copyright.PENANAU2pYxOJeDC
So964Please respect copyright.PENANAGj1FqYFiWS
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 964Please respect copyright.PENANAuKdFga8RD9
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 964Please respect copyright.PENANAuefibsuOLa
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 964Please respect copyright.PENANApQ5J2y1btw
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 964Please respect copyright.PENANAeCWTYsYp2g
serious.964Please respect copyright.PENANA8X6psn4vU2
"It's964Please respect copyright.PENANAMJgR6ezbFg
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 964Please respect copyright.PENANAe7IfOHId0T
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 964Please respect copyright.PENANAS0cIXdkQeE
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."964Please respect copyright.PENANA9mtxLkW9G8
I964Please respect copyright.PENANA3oBBbvMHxv
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 964Please respect copyright.PENANAs8leJOEeNd
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 964Please respect copyright.PENANAvzjtzx8Sji
somewhat worrying.964Please respect copyright.PENANAjSDpExSUTI
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."964Please respect copyright.PENANAGMqlUrn1bd
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.964Please respect copyright.PENANA3RZPw2fwQF
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."964Please respect copyright.PENANArHjYNO2IpU
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.964Please respect copyright.PENANAjsQnAE1hLR
"You're right. I do."964Please respect copyright.PENANAYpmZC5rmv5
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.964Please respect copyright.PENANAwNJhgtxWKz
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."964Please respect copyright.PENANAHDlJQIWDR2
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.964Please respect copyright.PENANAhh9aC2lEWv
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.964Please respect copyright.PENANAb2OvaRpbJR
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.964Please respect copyright.PENANA0Cz0pxKP73
"You're964Please respect copyright.PENANA70ug5e7Trm
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 964Please respect copyright.PENANAkhx1UFRLge
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 964Please respect copyright.PENANAjC2QFOwmCi
around here."964Please respect copyright.PENANAIOMXhpWaji
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.964Please respect copyright.PENANAqQyDbdlkGE
"Who said we need to 964Please respect copyright.PENANApdd7kA5zrZ
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 964Please respect copyright.PENANAhiLMKObbeF
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."964Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0al3O9Qle
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."964Please respect copyright.PENANAqSyWFDsCa4
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.964Please respect copyright.PENANAmBIMHzJ1Qt
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.964Please respect copyright.PENANAFTNAGvlnAZ
"Where?" Zoey asked.964Please respect copyright.PENANAMsb1RpyG8H
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"964Please respect copyright.PENANA8zSn1g7JEj
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.964Please respect copyright.PENANADREB9UpMr2
"Wait, a minute!" I 964Please respect copyright.PENANAxImToMiH9t
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 964Please respect copyright.PENANACjZdsy7rSE
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."964Please respect copyright.PENANA5hCdm4H6Kh
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.964Please respect copyright.PENANA1i1XtpOhgB
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"964Please respect copyright.PENANAkNFnjSEyRd
"Did someone just say 964Please respect copyright.PENANARj0x5WvWU9
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 964Please respect copyright.PENANAREjfVMciRK
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAqMVSJk2rvk
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.964Please respect copyright.PENANAhpj8TC0Q6p
"You're doing that thing964Please respect copyright.PENANAFHlxp22ul5
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 964Please respect copyright.PENANAJa9KvuW2Re
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."964Please respect copyright.PENANAHJTP2kilGE
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."964Please respect copyright.PENANAjGeLAxBvrF
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."964Please respect copyright.PENANAl1AeRFJNWY
"Ya, true," said Mike.964Please respect copyright.PENANAj8M4aQLwXO
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAiI6zOpq0gh
"I'm not going to 964Please respect copyright.PENANAgSMbl2qQkG
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and964Please respect copyright.PENANAHTJKywBG5D
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."964Please respect copyright.PENANA2o3O0yN0mT
"No, I'm scared that 964Please respect copyright.PENANAFSV68S1Qtn
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 964Please respect copyright.PENANA7vp2le8RpN
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.964Please respect copyright.PENANAH5piIIe8uK
I looked at Zoey, then 964Please respect copyright.PENANA2qHZiBNTq1
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 964Please respect copyright.PENANAaPq9EFQoXv
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 964Please respect copyright.PENANAngPvkZvbGx
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready964Please respect copyright.PENANAEvd27Ztz6G
for that bumpy ride again.964Please respect copyright.PENANAXjAFE1h0CO
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.964Please respect copyright.PENANAMQE0iJLQMs
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.964Please respect copyright.PENANA5q1i9B0UkZ
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.964Please respect copyright.PENANA3PNc6PRmxW
Daniel's mouth gaped 964Please respect copyright.PENANA5jteGCCVYT
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 964Please respect copyright.PENANAPyOYTk0dYh
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"964Please respect copyright.PENANA48lwBZZGWu
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."964Please respect copyright.PENANAwPugXjOq92
"Well, I think we can 964Please respect copyright.PENANAyb3vYf2435
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so964Please respect copyright.PENANAT1TEqj3WU2
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."964Please respect copyright.PENANACfIvSqLYrD
"Same here," said Mino.964Please respect copyright.PENANAii7DHsqkMC
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAGPNhoV4FR8
Everyone including me 964Please respect copyright.PENANAqSOfqBiYj7
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 964Please respect copyright.PENANAcJly0eN0Ab
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 964Please respect copyright.PENANAU4CmFwGZSz
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in964Please respect copyright.PENANAbMudEZbJtM
Times Square.964Please respect copyright.PENANAbeJF936nBR
"There's an open food 964Please respect copyright.PENANApRoJ3thV42
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 964Please respect copyright.PENANAAekpQ2G33W
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.964Please respect copyright.PENANAYHhw2R3Z1n
"Gosh, I've now realised964Please respect copyright.PENANAwZwDHqy6gF
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 964Please respect copyright.PENANAYCmgjFX7ts
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.964Please respect copyright.PENANAYgBafYMnT9
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.964Please respect copyright.PENANAEXnwiz6Tg3
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."964Please respect copyright.PENANAgQPFisJkER
"No wonder you Toxins 964Please respect copyright.PENANAO4tq2IZm13
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 964Please respect copyright.PENANAFmkeZpZc5g
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."964Please respect copyright.PENANAZaJfLJCysY
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.964Please respect copyright.PENANAw11VZvgntN
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."964Please respect copyright.PENANAdBVYhKkrp5
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."964Please respect copyright.PENANAQot0HiTOV5
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.964Please respect copyright.PENANAPGJkZ4lMwM
Zoey, Christine and the 964Please respect copyright.PENANA7kadBDrRo2
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 964Please respect copyright.PENANAAIsE3q9bTj
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 964Please respect copyright.PENANAzAqlH0AUdg
going.964Please respect copyright.PENANAqlDPhrBZTg
"That's insulting," said Jennie.964Please respect copyright.PENANAJcM6rHtBaO
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.964Please respect copyright.PENANAA2eZzv1LkP
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."964Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7ycSAt6kX
I burst out laughing 964Please respect copyright.PENANAMqdun8WwzS
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 964Please respect copyright.PENANA92quXJy3eB
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 964Please respect copyright.PENANAiErY3Vnb1w
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 964Please respect copyright.PENANAu8K6dGKZ9B
other floors because that would surly be something.964Please respect copyright.PENANAkGzLr1K21M
"Good one, TOP," said 964Please respect copyright.PENANAD8efIcDldE
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 964Please respect copyright.PENANAOmSISAAJ1f
have thought of that in a million years."964Please respect copyright.PENANALJCsyjtBcG
Everyone continued to 964Please respect copyright.PENANA5oczieVEHX
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 964Please respect copyright.PENANAU86FzuaO06
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 964Please respect copyright.PENANATxsK8EKgTg
how annoyed she was.964Please respect copyright.PENANAVpVwAYOfP5
"I can't believe you 964Please respect copyright.PENANAEOqcmp0VSd
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 964Please respect copyright.PENANA8BdSliYSud
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."964Please respect copyright.PENANAKlGDW3NI1P
"Don't worry, Zoey," 964Please respect copyright.PENANAOKulxfZ4Gm
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a964Please respect copyright.PENANAqhaIyfOX6D
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."964Please respect copyright.PENANANTxpX7LoHT
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."964Please respect copyright.PENANAHPvchqLvmZ
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."964Please respect copyright.PENANAJh5Ih5UvHl
"I'll sting him so bad, 964Please respect copyright.PENANAq4wHXhFsdH
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at964Please respect copyright.PENANA0iGwbphlYz
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.964Please respect copyright.PENANAL6YnQWgBwr
"Oh, look, a stage," 964Please respect copyright.PENANAfyPtsmW5XQ
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from964Please respect copyright.PENANA8EX8CIrSgQ
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.964Please respect copyright.PENANAyuB9KYIw00
In the direction Daniel 964Please respect copyright.PENANAAa8ClAOlnb
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 964Please respect copyright.PENANANy8SJoXGdh
there and get up on it. We all followed him.964Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZZ4MnjPL1
"I've missed being on 964Please respect copyright.PENANAQui4iZBrHg
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 964Please respect copyright.PENANAEbnG5fFsdW
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.964Please respect copyright.PENANA8Spp5VB6oa
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.964Please respect copyright.PENANAOz0ZKHi7NX
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.964Please respect copyright.PENANAsO7cSGJTNl
"We're just having fun,"964Please respect copyright.PENANAgdXRkATtbm
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.964Please respect copyright.PENANAt1c009vo6z
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 964Please respect copyright.PENANAGkI8nIahxk
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 964Please respect copyright.PENANADQ3frBvG11
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 964Please respect copyright.PENANADotvFuAkeJ
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.964Please respect copyright.PENANAxhrrO0wH9d
The rest of us down the 964Please respect copyright.PENANATSHXXXOdHH
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 964Please respect copyright.PENANATwlgJHBFEj
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 964Please respect copyright.PENANAdizom8pgY8
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 964Please respect copyright.PENANApJJQgYgi40
side of him was a shocker.964Please respect copyright.PENANA3bHUjSkW7g
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."964Please respect copyright.PENANAlRfvLfqp83
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.964Please respect copyright.PENANArCfIfDAcFZ
"Mum would be so proud,"964Please respect copyright.PENANAiDx7QoCL1F
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 964Please respect copyright.PENANAhn8kWKfnk3
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."964Please respect copyright.PENANAOJLgdtGeJv
"Haha, very funny," said964Please respect copyright.PENANAvHP3LwyS0A
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 964Please respect copyright.PENANAsm4as2cP7a
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAf21gOIU7a0
I looked at Mike and he 964Please respect copyright.PENANAByMMVxjeHS
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 964Please respect copyright.PENANAAOc5UZ2Ky4
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 964Please respect copyright.PENANAGx2KyK3m03
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."964Please respect copyright.PENANALFxum2ajcw
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."964Please respect copyright.PENANAd3gPSMX0tp
"I'm still not going to 964Please respect copyright.PENANAtYYsn8kVFI
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 964Please respect copyright.PENANAzpg81ZEW7i
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."964Please respect copyright.PENANA36HQVrKbwE
"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.964Please respect copyright.PENANA38hyi5y9wO
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.964Please respect copyright.PENANAH2vTVEqO8v
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.964Please respect copyright.PENANAAVxldqsXLi
"No," she said still not964Please respect copyright.PENANA6cI3scc459
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 964Please respect copyright.PENANAI2F1oj7WDI
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."964Please respect copyright.PENANADtEVEHofzz
Everyone turned to look 964Please respect copyright.PENANAhYQSPzbMkE
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 964Please respect copyright.PENANAixFLIVNWqL
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 964Please respect copyright.PENANAE5B0WYt7pf
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 964Please respect copyright.PENANAQONOe4cWjB
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger964Please respect copyright.PENANAFA5nZNuaSC
was to sweet talk her somehow.964Please respect copyright.PENANAidElZdgkI6
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."964Please respect copyright.PENANA7g5ED6XyOE
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.964Please respect copyright.PENANANx713usZYh
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.964Please respect copyright.PENANAQGuYAqnYrO
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAvaARqDc29K
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.964Please respect copyright.PENANAaQs8ULg1JR
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."964Please respect copyright.PENANAAukYBzgRHv
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.964Please respect copyright.PENANAU48zSMe8Oh
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.964Please respect copyright.PENANA7L672hBA8W
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.964Please respect copyright.PENANAbv17ipibEe
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.964Please respect copyright.PENANAsZy33aD814
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.964Please respect copyright.PENANAA8Q0z5UJHS
I snapped my fingers 964Please respect copyright.PENANA2mvjyAbOOy
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 964Please respect copyright.PENANAHcLeL4yUQw
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.964Please respect copyright.PENANANi9ReaNe2f
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 964Please respect copyright.PENANA4r3cyOXhRS
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.964Please respect copyright.PENANAGhk36BKwUI
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 964Please respect copyright.PENANAaloqQhaXLM
Lisa: You're sweet like 964Please respect copyright.PENANAhCJQy80Klz
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]964Please respect copyright.PENANA83EBoBWzzx
Jennie: You're sweet like 964Please respect copyright.PENANAkHJ6jbY6DN
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 964Please respect copyright.PENANAdw4U9Z8Nm9
We all ended up giving a964Please respect copyright.PENANAo7o4NYIKO5
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 964Please respect copyright.PENANAt7WdqW0Wuk
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 964Please respect copyright.PENANA0xLWELcbRT
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 964Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3XiFlXUcF
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 964Please respect copyright.PENANAclfJmFngnt
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.964Please respect copyright.PENANAZ77N6DImpP
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.964Please respect copyright.PENANAdoXuRbsUOw
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.964Please respect copyright.PENANA2RGul5sUH9
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.964Please respect copyright.PENANAiDPpywyUAd
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.964Please respect copyright.PENANAqBtmYc883g
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.964Please respect copyright.PENANAWPWXWwL2Ta
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.964Please respect copyright.PENANAuBGVrEbGCA
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.964Please respect copyright.PENANAlNZNoSudTx
Im a fan all day.964Please respect copyright.PENANAnCrqAvb45R
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.964Please respect copyright.PENANAfHZBjp9GFF
My manage behavior; Im into your major.964Please respect copyright.PENANA0IXCasvnlP
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.964Please respect copyright.PENANAnK5SchQEft
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:964Please respect copyright.PENANAg36vkaiTC2
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.964Please respect copyright.PENANAOgX0L6XyrV
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.964Please respect copyright.PENANAuLhMxuGtDh
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.964Please respect copyright.PENANAr8innnjyAf
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 964Please respect copyright.PENANAdjNLWWiIQl
The three couples on 964Please respect copyright.PENANATzaaEi1PTY
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And964Please respect copyright.PENANARDH4X77mr9
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 964Please respect copyright.PENANAKoMZSfE3Sd
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 964Please respect copyright.PENANAzndURJXEyf
three couples surrounding me in a circle.964Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zxv7HBUAV
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]964Please respect copyright.PENANA7SQqtLG8pP
This candy got you sprung [x2]964Please respect copyright.PENANAL6J8Nydc4m
So call me your sugar [x2]964Please respect copyright.PENANAHpcYlGPp8X
You love you some [x2]964Please respect copyright.PENANAOhEOxycEm5
I'm sweet like 964Please respect copyright.PENANAResYsOThzE
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 964Please respect copyright.PENANAPpNKkZjzj2
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]964Please respect copyright.PENANAtFZ0EUgv6l
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di964Please respect copyright.PENANA1LkDDiqMqU
Sugar964Please respect copyright.PENANA9odysjjZW0
Seunghoon came up on 964Please respect copyright.PENANAnxKVNOjCc2
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 964Please respect copyright.PENANA8WENojvPpv
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.964Please respect copyright.PENANAxvvuEPCw1O
Down stage, Seungyoon 964Please respect copyright.PENANA6UnShYG9jm
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a964Please respect copyright.PENANARlIcjdlGA1
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 964Please respect copyright.PENANAoe6jsnIfl7
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 964Please respect copyright.PENANAiElBjoL5qZ
all did that simultaneously was awesome.964Please respect copyright.PENANANfWEj0OhpE
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.964Please respect copyright.PENANAYWawva0Ks5
All: My lips like sugar (x2)964Please respect copyright.PENANAuQpVKwoGGb
This candy got you sprung (x2)964Please respect copyright.PENANAzFt4uBdZvp
So call me your sugar (x2)964Please respect copyright.PENANAzCEHqyNjd9
You love you some (x2)964Please respect copyright.PENANA9NuB998xkp
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)964Please respect copyright.PENANAg1MQWLHpgS
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 964Please respect copyright.PENANAMvb3nLXjUW
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di964Please respect copyright.PENANAbUnCOyBbUb
Sugar 964Please respect copyright.PENANAb9hWWhrauY
I964Please respect copyright.PENANAboJZPDH2Sg
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 964Please respect copyright.PENANArkSHIX50fY
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 964Please respect copyright.PENANAm3cIU7o0EO
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 964Please respect copyright.PENANAzeJB5yQGag
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 964Please respect copyright.PENANAOR54tVHv89
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.964Please respect copyright.PENANArnsa8jVRfb
Onlookers964Please respect copyright.PENANAffLjuvfOPB
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 964Please respect copyright.PENANAMHj215mR16
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 964Please respect copyright.PENANA9dct5DP35m
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.964Please respect copyright.PENANACqrHB4frd3
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.964Please respect copyright.PENANAT0m5IgMck0
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.964Please respect copyright.PENANA9uZAESK2AF
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.964Please respect copyright.PENANAg5vZCgL5wQ
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.964Please respect copyright.PENANAQj580cILE0
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.964Please respect copyright.PENANA0F7NhW08Z6
"Ya, we really should," I answered.964Please respect copyright.PENANA2RYcg0F4h5
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.964Please respect copyright.PENANAJjxVHuP9jy
"Take a bow," I said.964Please respect copyright.PENANAVgySXkh97x
Zoey who stood next to 964Please respect copyright.PENANAcn5klgINYl
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 964Please respect copyright.PENANAunwoKhQ7rS
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took964Please respect copyright.PENANAKSC5I5AymF
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down964Please respect copyright.PENANA9xw1aEbCEf
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 964Please respect copyright.PENANAkym0od2LAA
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.964Please respect copyright.PENANAYfHljzxRBk
"Well, this just got 964Please respect copyright.PENANADGWs6gwz6C
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 964Please respect copyright.PENANAVKUh0bnBol
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.964Please respect copyright.PENANAb0KbLblITr
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."964Please respect copyright.PENANANkJGIZVoru
The way Mike said it 964Please respect copyright.PENANAgv0Yg6dXvu
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 964Please respect copyright.PENANA9sC1GX9B5r
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 964Please respect copyright.PENANAvY6PNAOlVg
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.964Please respect copyright.PENANA763OJyo51s
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.964Please respect copyright.PENANAtaz5qApm8V
When I got down from the964Please respect copyright.PENANAeZYDN3M75P
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 964Please respect copyright.PENANADaBTpmvzUO
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in964Please respect copyright.PENANAzOMFoQApwV
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I964Please respect copyright.PENANAXSFICO8gyC
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.964Please respect copyright.PENANA1uzinfPyHj
"Well, you guys sure 964Please respect copyright.PENANA1CTITLd3WX
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 964Please respect copyright.PENANAYwT4NTLbJ6
had to warn the security before I could even get here."964Please respect copyright.PENANALjDUIvH0eD
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.964Please respect copyright.PENANAbbb6mNl1VB
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't964Please respect copyright.PENANAYV1bNd421G
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 964Please respect copyright.PENANAvdCRkjmt2T
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"964Please respect copyright.PENANARKG31QwCvO
"We just missed you, 964Please respect copyright.PENANABdRJ0TIh6r
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually964Please respect copyright.PENANAMuPk9Bl3Bu
with us but these past days you haven't."964Please respect copyright.PENANAuPvrnr415e
"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."964Please respect copyright.PENANA8xYsev9E88
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.964Please respect copyright.PENANAQavZs5lXty
"He would've called by 964Please respect copyright.PENANArdBFMii6Z4
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 964Please respect copyright.PENANAUNzFNmho0H
no calls from the grim reapers yet."964Please respect copyright.PENANAl6asTwOKy7
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.964Please respect copyright.PENANAefehnVf67S
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAW5essY06w5
Immediately Lee focused 964Please respect copyright.PENANA5DHThcDBgY
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone964Please respect copyright.PENANAj3piUqkdJ4
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 964Please respect copyright.PENANArk7sPBKdMk
couldn't blame them.964Please respect copyright.PENANA4oqFZnSK8o
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.964Please respect copyright.PENANAP2dOKjICjB
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.964Please respect copyright.PENANAeUAFzdANyA
"How964Please respect copyright.PENANAdopvqnuts3
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked964Please respect copyright.PENANAPVnfWpMav1
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into964Please respect copyright.PENANAv9dfQTy7uE
your own dance hall."964Please respect copyright.PENANAWETyw3NE3q
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."964Please respect copyright.PENANAM6g4KrnOYk
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAJflikLs2YY
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.964Please respect copyright.PENANAKlhsEwxAQr
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....964Please respect copyright.PENANAIDnBFXxNRb
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.964Please respect copyright.PENANAUmb6lkqYl9
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.964Please respect copyright.PENANAdnqYczj4K8
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.964Please respect copyright.PENANAyAABkd8UuS
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."964Please respect copyright.PENANALwR7uSHkSC
"No,964Please respect copyright.PENANAPplB58hFq7
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 964Please respect copyright.PENANAp9vLWiNWG2
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell964Please respect copyright.PENANAmrejYoLH1m
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"964Please respect copyright.PENANAjIYNnHGaH1
"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.964Please respect copyright.PENANAEXcnEGt0nn
"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?"964Please respect copyright.PENANA2y4lXylkzK
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.964Please respect copyright.PENANAIotuxgEXgT
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.964Please respect copyright.PENANANY7RaE9nYE
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.964Please respect copyright.PENANAg8TWicbgiy
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.964Please respect copyright.PENANA2eJ3Yf6pOh
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.964Please respect copyright.PENANAmvuQ6I5oiy
I964Please respect copyright.PENANAa603bb6EUf
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 964Please respect copyright.PENANAUuTHfHC1Kw
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 964Please respect copyright.PENANAyzLuGjg61r
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it964Please respect copyright.PENANAII3BGbioT0
was a lot to take in.964Please respect copyright.PENANAl4OvbEZNIV
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."964Please respect copyright.PENANAYUZiM8dYG5
"That's964Please respect copyright.PENANAC5r71TzV9l
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 964Please respect copyright.PENANAuAKgqb4SCB
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 964Please respect copyright.PENANAGbXBWasbqv
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 964Please respect copyright.PENANAb4waOZ6kel
still find out anyway."964Please respect copyright.PENANAWx6tV3jcY7
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."964Please respect copyright.PENANAP7xR0lzFbS
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.964Please respect copyright.PENANASgTNz2xV7I
Everyone964Please respect copyright.PENANAmiCU39Vgu5
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 964Please respect copyright.PENANAMtzORT5mJq
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 964Please respect copyright.PENANAemrqac7jnR
somehow the anxiety was killing me.964Please respect copyright.PENANAsyJhGZX3zb
After964Please respect copyright.PENANA1litzOi3Cc
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan964Please respect copyright.PENANAtb1FSMv17q
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the964Please respect copyright.PENANA3NhEmHCCkn
food court when Lee asked:964Please respect copyright.PENANAdJyypL6eGY
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"964Please respect copyright.PENANARYc0IpmOWu
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.964Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ63rvLDqy
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.964Please respect copyright.PENANAHh5WAj0ea9
"You964Please respect copyright.PENANAtues1iEELH
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 964Please respect copyright.PENANAKIPyeQSyjW
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 964Please respect copyright.PENANA80LSLS3HgM
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."964Please respect copyright.PENANAjehY1yB1ra
"I964Please respect copyright.PENANAebJyhslcZG
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 964Please respect copyright.PENANAmXiHv6tFsk
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 964Please respect copyright.PENANAtvnI2rawiO
okay."964Please respect copyright.PENANAJcVvbIslsd
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.964Please respect copyright.PENANANSb2zpDjUf
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."964Please respect copyright.PENANApw7QXP1dIJ
"You964Please respect copyright.PENANAPj35VBQQcE
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 964Please respect copyright.PENANAtmxZmVc0RG
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 964Please respect copyright.PENANAqXtvFsu1Ip
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 964Please respect copyright.PENANAj7qCjBtMGy
don't know up to now."964Please respect copyright.PENANAkeGl7fawEu
"BTW964Please respect copyright.PENANAQfsKFzt9rm
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I964Please respect copyright.PENANAF2LpSfXWkD
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 964Please respect copyright.PENANAEjvSsFfcjG
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 964Please respect copyright.PENANALoUWQCCm6l
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."964Please respect copyright.PENANAV1HQ0EWews
"I964Please respect copyright.PENANAOPaTXTz0aa
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 964Please respect copyright.PENANAOQFj81iZst
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 964Please respect copyright.PENANAlZXsqOFGDC
normal human perspective."964Please respect copyright.PENANAqQEun6xGXN
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."964Please respect copyright.PENANAVaDXQGzmAL
"I think she is," said TOP.964Please respect copyright.PENANAYls6EwkQP4
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.964Please respect copyright.PENANALpBnkwxVhc
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.964Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4jNpOQjQo
Zoey964Please respect copyright.PENANAEqwiKWP4YH
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 964Please respect copyright.PENANADrFUE9j6uD
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.964Please respect copyright.PENANAaQd3mmgtTp
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAvEZHALZn7n
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.964Please respect copyright.PENANARxCOUvIJzw
Before964Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ1ZmdqOQz
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she964Please respect copyright.PENANAKtrpYhhEtt
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 964Please respect copyright.PENANAlLuuTCzyjN
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.964Please respect copyright.PENANAFf8ZfkcMYY
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.964Please respect copyright.PENANAiS2m6GLFY7
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.964Please respect copyright.PENANAPVykRQZMh8
The964Please respect copyright.PENANAcv3dmGeTmO
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 964Please respect copyright.PENANARSZTW4Iv7K
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 964Please respect copyright.PENANACIkU4mX7kC
would never stop fighting no matter what.964Please respect copyright.PENANAbWPth6LuAX
"I964Please respect copyright.PENANAmmBgySGKXS
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a964Please respect copyright.PENANApmCWZMGYtl
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 964Please respect copyright.PENANANoXvNtERpC
it's full of drama too."964Please respect copyright.PENANAgB8o6GHnPj
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.964Please respect copyright.PENANAdmlOtucxiq
"Do964Please respect copyright.PENANAvwqFjlGl9z
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 964Please respect copyright.PENANArm0XgxIR1q
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 964Please respect copyright.PENANANysT29VsS1
court.964Please respect copyright.PENANADhXxCmTiak
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."964Please respect copyright.PENANAW90yqDUJhH
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."964Please respect copyright.PENANAfTjMBED4eW
"I hope so too," said Christine.964Please respect copyright.PENANANEYMU6kybC
"Come964Please respect copyright.PENANAOiNdPdMyUz
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 964Please respect copyright.PENANAvTi1Em9LN8
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."964Please respect copyright.PENANAF0DribycFW
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.964Please respect copyright.PENANAulrF7QRaQH
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.964Please respect copyright.PENANAkNhKbsKY14
As964Please respect copyright.PENANAgXnp7gWWTI
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning964Please respect copyright.PENANA7BvfmeYKSf
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 964Please respect copyright.PENANAyWDitj7qhB
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 964Please respect copyright.PENANAHEpZdtHBas
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 964Please respect copyright.PENANANm5UdwxdZJ
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.964Please respect copyright.PENANA5AJ5wzhgdz
I964Please respect copyright.PENANA29RwrD7kNp
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 964Please respect copyright.PENANAEypNiSwfpp
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might964Please respect copyright.PENANAFyOmquga2E
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 964Please respect copyright.PENANAdHsCJjgBr4
of the blue may arise.964Please respect copyright.PENANAXjIzNDqhPP
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
