Hanging out at Times 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsNv9PzcKN
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CyX4cBs5N
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymwdbFc5hR
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt11gPJDo3
But that didn't matter. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryKh0wCDxq
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsw3L265gN
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwl0mbTNEt
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFBUXE7Osu
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ipCCHVCI
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4uCUPkZEr
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt54OkZEszB
actually played around with the adorable kids.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBv0PsmTJG
There were plenty of 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDB634bnOk
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3ZHlJRLtq
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweZdODU5lH
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCHT80eT9F
fans too.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITSen7Sgdg
The time we were done 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzUs33U7gH
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgIsaPryXn
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3E0KTcYyY
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTKxPcUthH
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIX1nOxZqA
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdLneEIdjV
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBKth27I8u
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48qUWI5hEX
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddzxRuDRaF
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPbT5FTzbD
previous day, of course.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyIZdEx0Ny
As much as the managers 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNmGwk0Wlj
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyrrsdNzsQ
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgATsLkE8i9
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiviadXQW2v
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4QL6qeHW3
Right now, this very 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxBtgTMrQw
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4po3tRqdR
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgyTSLkUl0
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfkd2g0xRt
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaX8CHXmp9
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMr0lIiR8C
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nSyvRoWR1
and I just couldn't take it.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ03ITalCiZ
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIw1YwFE52
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEQIULksSF
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JNLSsFTaa
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat800wH0My
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKRgi6qomh
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIDd7T0nv0
"I thought you said your plan would work."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS6nepzA2c
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfs7lNYZH9
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwuE42TPzw
I felt like slapping my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzErZpcx1UA
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5gjr19gIL
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWj0LeFDvR
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgGDhsjEHO
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWk1qdVqZ8
off.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4JySaEx6M
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDHrfCc64z
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQDjuObfuU
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGvNx3BV2v
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcPVOCFoZA
I shrugged. She read my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWNmFy5MqZ
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyUzNjk4Xg
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh2rDvj9ce
me the whole time."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRBoqp9MrT
I sat down on my bed as 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarBNiiUAWj
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzeXhuCDYM
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpw1c2hhGJ
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMofFbeh3oS
"Gosh, you really should1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyFnPVTpSL
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdTLnZKytC
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfmH6Sh1VH
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxbOcYRTVG
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr2ICTDBrc
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7tstjN3n7
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHHbs6KCs6
"Mike is annoying 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNMsX7dtNE
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DUxYAjI8p
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuDpxxRCC6
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa3QlIPg6q
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCABUybbNwx
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6oc30Oobt
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW8RGqqqE3
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9agHhHVTT
"Sorry, but just so you 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TVgTWcwi6
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi5ucN3C3Y
that pic of you and him together."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAssTOCe0QL
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUqLYcxWHD
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxnpof6ljW
I blushed and at the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZEtFxTHrx
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPYAueq3GE
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6nbTeYG3D
other hidden agenda.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSGLDFMwsv
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOaoAJtrnb
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpth1uCN4y9
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpXF8ZepsY
I sighed in surrender. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqwSNRRFLo
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc8tR0MTxP
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Tz3VhJ94
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMliZrbVKA5
Zoey shook her head. "You really surprise me how much you aren't really a fan of social media when most of our peers are."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeWssZPDOU
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYfuA6dPfE
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVzudtrt6Q
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39lRRplm24
Zoey had an excited look1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKw5bquJ6d
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlICtbB63n9
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovm1SSz65L
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBBURWILa2
clearly show all over her face.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd7rrw3HwZ
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdFB4ZlaFA
I shook my head. "And?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflrLAzlPey
Zoey folded her arms, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz11GRLByU
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAqnEI9VAN
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFmk7X0FPV
"Hold that thought. This1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIqG52taQQ
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATHOiv1Xjo
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihqoP0htvO
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQAxPigWcH
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7vqmG7ant
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwdL4FGF0Y
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiS9IXqKNM
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNRivww1Uj
"Well, he hid in our closet."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07GIxfl4uZ
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwHdLXTBZP
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWVJBeqszE
"Ya, why?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n86QIKt5A
"Looks like we just 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2weUc1N6C
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7UuxKBvH8
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7fc2geJZR
Zoey thought for a moment over what I said as she looked at the floor and then back at me. "Mmmm, I guess you're right."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosSkzBSWAs
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWZkieqWpK
"What do you mean? You 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWRX0jcbUk
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjbOolcLPB
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SLoQXQbFh
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjtr5N4Nol
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx3UzKermw
"Not really. But I can say he was. Just a little. If he was a full time stalker, he would've been doing so everyday."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBjrVXmear
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ncP5k4G8B
"I wanted to but I kept 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFQh22VX4p
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L6Edk8PvK
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jyrfyQlQp
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82hrni5qTs
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUYdzD2TZu
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQrStp6784
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKLKhBOqC4
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMGRdw6PLq
I quickly stood up and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnoMHltPpY
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI9wHTI0d8
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tCeO5P4QA
her back.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHu1upRXoe
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmG5Jvzxb1
"Zoey, you're going to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YzzPDoUr1
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuxAQukMFJ
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApYKaIV4P1
own hair pink in the next ten years."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Za7jYRyb
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0333KQDOYZ
"You're lying."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgNlJCmCNZ
"I'm telling the truth!"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpsqEc74Eh
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79vmokGT33
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XA6sXLi7s
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrJnRyUY3m
"I can't tell you that."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosdJex97tl
"Why?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPpZVBoFIM
"Because it's 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPHr2zKXw1
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu287tDh906
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiFQeZ3Q4s
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRAU5cSWdN
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkxE1Nu03c
"Yes, I was," I said as I let go of Zoey's hair and Zoey blew out a sigh of relief. "Turns out, I'm not that good at it at all."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhgZCQhvDh
"No, you aren't," said Zoey as she massaged her scalp from where I had pulled her hair and she looked at me with a frown.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUFQZXRFMS
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPtO8e85Xe
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDS2xDNe1d
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V62aC7id7
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN5h9d8eMP
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1buzEhFoUH
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtCrwPV4Fs
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETHeecOvLv
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jT4ZJgsGm
I playfully rolled my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z7zq3ZAFH
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYBKocKC0U
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWybaHnQkt7
also looked worried.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5djaaY9wM
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsvH1kTSrS
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcopM1EMNlm
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dSPy0LxBh
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEu9YscnE9
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTmqIbQBoo
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAnPoZa1E3
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfc4POt814
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02wMA9xwjJ
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp9ds0IjDf
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQiVd8wy6r
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a7e3wZXJm
"Okay, first of all," 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom63hgrhQb
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyNlivpZzk
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe8TYpmgkX
he wasn't mad at you."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkthR51dcZ
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rc3XbEvot
"That, he couldn't say."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgU9E1NUg0
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEmjFDHVfY
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWahf4efbgn
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxbukBky22
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs95TOSiPNY
Christine pressed the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV8SK59Ca8
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7lCzvV1cC
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFa9C1tLRp
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx2OagNjGq
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabLvow5Uzq
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn66oNKYHQr
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk51KFFTAJ
We got to YG right on 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCspLqGzayQ
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirJT4crY2c
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv07kiIisLt
arrived a few seconds earlier.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkqYZ2d8Fm
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eDA8UuqzC
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdMrEIFyJb
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7AqqICtLG
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU0oPOCYeG
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny2BAIjzo3
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB7fNRskzR
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdgavXZUUb
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TsMJL2P27
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7humqJbPAg
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNsnWgKfRZ
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSKM280lKe
"There will be no such 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuF7Rsg7xe
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB29ZKNiEre
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7mTLILGt9
"And you're making it 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4rcSWsNCU
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJwUh4Rhqc
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0L4Tm84AL
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBemzOduvDF
"Trust me, you don't 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaMomI8Eu5
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uaXY5rBwK
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCBsU2lesC
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs97pGqibo
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsyPHnctUk
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IVDs33qYR
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjSbNfgZao
"Look, whether they are 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRw4kWOTXh
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCUWicjC29
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjqVXMfCeO
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc2MK0z6sQ
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWivNpoUlmd
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFasqLKu7A1
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1r7euAPrY
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVpvRhOZI8
I gave Lee a sad smile 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw55VRy1Evu
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAR5K2GFuf
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo6churKMj
your life. Like suicide.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW9Jnd4jPh
We started our way 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkGndocOu1
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHhc8S9Y8g
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdDlHvauVj
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJgRVAZcDM
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsuixpwrnd
I quickly ran out of the1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMvbwh4PrS
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wnAH5vDo5
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHVNji0CD4
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbivjoWPve
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrIJYDa4wA
check for it inside.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSGlcNJ24s
When I got to the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d60qG56Y8
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxywHJ5Z0e
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49HMIM00qC
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTPgsDI011
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDDAplQgzt
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AbbOp6tuI
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwWX6DSiIU
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaUdJP3JAa
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMCUSJqNYJ
"Seriously, I can sue 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9kj1oyulp
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Y0XCbn6f
fast. I never even heard him coming.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSvnDNBAhQ
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUo5kBRaBK
"You're not my bodyguard1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwGpokt9RL
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ6f7wkrKW
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkYq78sHPj
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYRT2wVwRV
I blushed. "You know about that?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKO8T31cPf
"Everyone knows you have1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGchErKXnCM
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTUi1KoGmZ
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4wQT0tQzF
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTmOp4g0jn
"Looks like I did the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3LwcC19Gk
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7UqndJ0qQ
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS37a2DEsT
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28jdTwFnU1
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBsqLqLZ9p
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L8hdK66Gt
"And because you're a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTpCwWnaki
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4GTgE0OqF
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzMaVcw6tj
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevRz10JLyB
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1nXff5Los
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZH4gMScAs
"Can you at least tell 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgpz2EvFBT
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HSFSicIZW
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVMskK6oAe
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjQJHJq49P
"What dramatic effect?" 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoDcAPorRc
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVx7RFtnIn
came closer. I took a warning step back.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AeuS9eBaa
"If you hadn't followed 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxmlkF4N8g
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpu4iEZUjD
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpoV09iyrU
room."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN09eWf2FXE
"What surprise?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXZHb0aEkk
The elevator stopped and1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUObhoDqLY
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdaWhGmKeB
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiNoE8T9wR
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEM3YHH8rZ
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrETqhrTkv5
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8ngYXHLrD
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpLX6VwwNg
"I already have a guess," I said.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIgEW9FTQZ
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTtAVMCYjI
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfMvYbqfkD
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPZ6Jn9kqv
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHU2PavASc
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiimuaq8hC4
When we reached the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GwZaz67UH
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7uaf4UxSU
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpEcICccK6
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOGh08Gouf
In the conference room 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYtVq3BB8J
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh9mYtmoW3
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1b2e2Cf3z
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjwuLTgZvo
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe1qBHL6l0
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N5QXcGObL
though I did my best not to show it.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MN3wUUZLP
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVcz8nqZ8e
I looked to the opposite1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtruu7L8ax
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3JNE2Gjgi
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACYaQGXmqS
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejfCtZoptj
"You don't have to act all high and mighty, you know?" I said to the person facing the wall. "I know it's you, GD."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdXrZuRdQB
G-Dragon quickly turned 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIwdyLVann
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO8vXYJDB9
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi20kc9lY7H
"Hi, Sam," said G-Dragon as he leaned his elbows on the table and his hands under his chin. "How did you know it was me?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdnmtsyJJl
"The message you sent me wasn't too hard to figure out that you would be here," I answered as I held up my phone.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVv1df5adc
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWzNvsXSvZ
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFkgYrCgeU
"Wait," said Lisa who 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbYSV5K1vg
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5mya7Q5Nc
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFodL4bFmf
"It felt simple and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZDlJDDlK2
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtsyULbNhG
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4U5S8qkoW
with G-Dragon today."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXBvOY9u2q
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClDdQou39h
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAkL4D8qNP
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1OGEInMX3
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbWVvhAY6a
"Ya, I know I'm a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXOjiSx4pe
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GnLwPDbPd
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64CwUrNONE
"If you mean us getting 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9DagaRs2A
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJfWf0AGUi
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdy0yIrf7B
by coincidence."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtw681pBkI
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSwfSU8nBe
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCQp0TFmgW
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJg4OrJC4D
The rest of the BTW crew1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGW1AS4eV5
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKunszdbP3
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy7C7UUlPS
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1ZxM8jFJG
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QQhxfUgk3
"Hold up," said Zoey who1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDLFdbirGA
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfEqvw3B2y
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtam6UUo2oH
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaSMF5Jlr6
"Told you we'll 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvIxy4wucT
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCFC7Tgv1b
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnYwLltgsk
"But is he going to do 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaJIjdH5Ia
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3XexTkwp0
didn't really meet by coincidence."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9NQc4dedu
There was silence in the1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rr74IOHQy
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCjmEz4vXu
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlwduxqWMu
planning to do.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvNSzS0mMR
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpduYldOWv
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb5nyxMPEr
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluiF9URMh0
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmXHndCqXl
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD3qLMUD85
"And also because he's 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZwFE7BwiP
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0lSvkgCQt
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXepz9MEAR9
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr65fUk3cx
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZB3QiNH97
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcYaHHJ48p
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FSHXGBFVZ
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1y1GEF1vI
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKlEGxvPCb
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOT4RO966l
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzaQ9fOr5n
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rPkdk3TDP
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8pWK9AZb8
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0O2RlQ3dS
deal with G-Dragon instead.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0WsLuUAcj
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCE6hmtHbD
"What do you want?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x72WcomfH
G-Dragon looked at me as1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmrmdUl8lq
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCyeG7US0N
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEB6ZukA3d
came to any conclusions.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejaBblQP7n
"To make things clear 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFBzxaex8Z
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB1ajuJxys
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmLCGdcFcu
thinking about doing the same thing."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VAACrIgYl
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNNdfGZwV6
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAifezaiYe
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLoqyxKcYB
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21w9r7HQJH
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYP19WdnaQ
"That's the problem," said G-Dragon. "You guys aren't going to let it slide and this why I came here with a deal."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJWjfBfaSA
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxnNKgBPYa
"All's fair in love and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbcac98FfD
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf23BVy0XVZ
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRFs8snmOp
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6drKLGsKa
"Come on," Christine 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7EFd8F2cB
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwjDvH3PJJ
won't be here for long and you know it."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGb4A5WSbQ
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh7zfyVALK
"BTW is nothing but a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38ywKtrhnx
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHnfiwX4Z2
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF3cy04pPI
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF1yktVScK
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1UEv3B27c
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4icZ2K5fXp
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KbFWV2TvZ
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyoXAHEhYx
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oS4eLGbiZ
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tTkevooU9
"See, there's a lots of things BTW can do though it might only be for a short while," I said as I smirked looking at G-Dragon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDscA6TKvR2
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdqqXt78DZ
Upon saying that, the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaFT1p3I3H
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMV2FtHhcs
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1HENllkpV
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRYipa4UOB
seated stood up.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnfSGoOeTN
I gulped. I hope the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iQmx90ixS
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN2C6ZZJPi
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlzymMmjhx
The two managers had 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eKKjjVYKn
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzTgesz7gG
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEAaONVPdi
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKsGcT4HIm
is wrong.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsGnVOzW7F
"Good that you're all 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcMrsN43Xf
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD7Sw462gy
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdoNE7LZbm
I have always hated it 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpfsjSl3IP
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHoNG1tLaa
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlOhPnouW7
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRtvoUmMnL
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxRYBOI8ky
their seats.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6O4LxBtnD
The two managers and Lee1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V3OkmSR8U
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gs8bujrKk
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCpIW8OC9Z
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgExhKhG1u
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Ej9GKjia
was.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt15QuzqnO
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpukScca7y
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga5WxjLVIn
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEJ7uRrdWw
Zoey sighed loudly in 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NiORv2QVp
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIsYR32CS5
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOe0poncXr
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIWyTQMKnT
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxs0BKXMPf
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLAcXZKNK8
The two managers 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ERIkpNkB0
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4QARAElyI
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbFXKTkNBO
That was so not cool.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeHYLCMC7E
"You never cease to amaze me, Zoey," said Yang Hyun-suk. "And you're right. This BTW thing was nothing but a one time thing."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B8IaPCwT4
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBLvaDjiS5
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3gycSoTeV
My ears perked up when 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgIeQ2kQFA
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL0tc7I6Eb
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOZdj4n3zv
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVSM6ks5vT
"We heard you outside 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz4ul9YLkc
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp7sYn5c7e
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhfRYeOR65
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxxPs62obS
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EStm9j3fB
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TwPxZRvKj
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgBNSR9tWO
through further scrutiny about this decision."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmKkOiliEV
I smiled. Even if they 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0slzviDK1L
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz31cK2gGMX
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UnWhk4ZJT
There was an exciting 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwAM8IC8je
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRwKJhv5Be
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErrA8kLXnx
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerDduUNwre
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe37d1pfCf
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH6IBZo57J
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7yDkbCVvI
I turned to my other 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMycAaMEMoD
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz5AtdMiPK
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGCv2IaBSy
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXubeumNzW1
now, didn't matter.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2VD5yV9dV
"You heard them when 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVFb8FenBD
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGCdc5h4TZ
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01GV2cguym
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd6NfAvITV
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFdFjGMv23
"And so even if we tried to object to it you would refuse us to do so because the decision came from you, right?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfjp4Gqh8j
This time it was me, or I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48tlNPHMuq
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tCrp55Jlo
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHKp0T17iB
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z9yD8QO94
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2O8uQscQV
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BOuRCVe1e
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpTN5XodDi
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60xY45MGXK
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2pzMIJbtG
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXC1ILX9r2
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBF4Avwx3E
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlvXcllQhV
"We all agree," said Daniel.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJlROz0n5i
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QMIHJ8oo6
"But just because it 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHP0w2qH73
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PXPM7FswA
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPebmxxGSi
"Okay, so that's settled1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z7MngleBi
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnjpyui5QG
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWyan8x6z4
BTW official."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj5e3Z4zeI
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0SMlMHjbb
I noticed that most of 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0GGlwPrPh
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm3twejOAL
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeg5ACeOXR
when she looked at me and I grinned.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOV9ZbIh7g
"Okay, then," said Yang Hyun-suk as he rubbed his hands. "Now that's been taken care of, you may go but, with one condition."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73RBFR5tX6
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJszrhNAG4
"Before we make BTW 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4og21EyRgK
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6wuTuByh4
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqrV9DQzas
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXaPz6RZVV
low for a while. Is that good?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuXBAIyHxZ
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbxU9xl5nI
"That's fair enough," 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk1Px5dJIX
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBj7VRGitZ
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYGlhTI4oI
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51h72i95XK
so."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEwngtQgtX
"So you want to crush 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51Ry2DaWfD
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoBMEkvf2X
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzd0hMbA3j
strategy."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuC8EGQNQA
"Then if all is well and1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ1nFcI5E0
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzFfgW5Vqd
updated and not a word on social media."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKCtZm0ip9
I stood up from my seat 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl67U6ylJ19
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewXBiCnzvq
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoalH6QCzc
walk out, I stopped them.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZF9SidOKF
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwmQDmKuo2
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXXwbXjOCe
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjXMgz5Duk
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wEpQhpzXd
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tLohJB6pU
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE08WDAfG2
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwjM74W1TK
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNgEiYVy76
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMuMFkdBfx
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvxgN3BiK8
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgJuZGQUXA
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl7QGFbxRi
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8EDHa4IOB
"This is like the best 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfmngNMNay
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ngaYPbfUM
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Ur3TubaW
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzOItsk1BZ
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpje91nEH4
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk7PjEv06R
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFigH7BYCyw
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM2sl3Y6wM
"I knew there was a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabUTJ8CcYk
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJJj9gCkq5
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo0aM70AK2
G-Dragon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR6lumLgX7
"You knew?" Christine asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBV4VTnbG2
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TkTlYeoFq
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwGukx7zmV
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa04ppkgHo
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3763i9Hrkk
"I'll just say, I'm mad at you, GD. But since you did us this huge favour, I forgive you," said Zoey as she smiled.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarjFHNwyGs
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy95DeFF7jv
"Well, you guys can tell1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrSjNYXD9W
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmrdXJQRIz
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgCAtr5P78
aren't going to go into the same car."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q9SViTofL
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVdUoNMR60
Everyone else started to1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3qkbF8YFS
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGIl1acClY
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAv11hDZvA
only G-Dragon and I.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zC1eDEWzs
"I'm mad at you," I started.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiK6yj4S0f
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzz5GYjKmw
"Save it." I held my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm6VryX6sv
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNZfFQgJKn
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2bjDeU5Bj
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJJXgF923B
a war again."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlZDlY5InF
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwKVRLChE1
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHwEpSkv9V
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzeF6qc6ms
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFNGw0KmRy
G-Dragon looked at me 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyGEFAg2Ps
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0a4diWWo3
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYjDzPTgkC
stab in the heart.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhuGr4CkRB
"You're right. I realise it now because I didn't get what I want. But I want us to forget that all this ever happened."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI0hR9uDKe
"You know, the others 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9qKnr6xx0
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5iWMjsuvJ
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R9mwlRHb9
with WINNER yesterday."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr2lMWXPUc
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWwV2SuQam
I nodded my head. What I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeiLFpoTiD
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR6NVKH5hq
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDqA6hbvOH
of Seunghoon and I.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j400liaQX
"You know you and I can 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUSx5uESLP
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UgRGAfrOY
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtqsRtiyhm
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm8HSHB2Ji
down the rocks."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0ZwhYM8d0
I headed for the door 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e14wYKa6i
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZub8QNGuh
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT3yDYEedM
Zoey, waiting.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunAdtODqBi
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxt1adL4PP
"I sure hope so," I said1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEvRqwgpLV
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXlBuBHwui
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNxoCv3kVT
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gybJbOXAs
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EmXeg7AXe
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IxOKaP1DO
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PYNcSiXAR
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iqhGpL6Jk
"You know computers are 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV6oe88ibc
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSp84TK3h4
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof54QbURX2
supposed to."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhU3VUQjmv
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxQ7YHimZa
I smiled. "You always call me that."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlK5SFpluM
"Ya, because you're smart too."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq51nsDUTjS
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYfezzREAn
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOrcS5nYMg
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2k9EXUUZr
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhQub81gBA
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5VfuTqlRS
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
