Hanging out at Times 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrduw1pTKd
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK6xlRS1vJ
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZwbO6C7W1
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq2vFrrWdY
But that didn't matter. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZd3n6Xx0z
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pFYhm8Pkc
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygMGeQhps0
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcm6mppiN2
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ8BbcTPOJ
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0hc9UMAYT
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpFHt28qQu
actually played around with the adorable kids.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mf5s14V6a
There were plenty of 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlz7KNaF4m
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprXX7olhuf
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDZdRbUYKd
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoBUKvKT23
fans too.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJOGw9olQW
The time we were done 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWDOiIBXiG
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsISYTIT1C
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatgjrVrCFG
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvX7Z3rS7z
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMPKw6j9vL
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16E4TaUlid
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOGR3FKLyo
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHk5Jb19mk
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpVCnU92T2
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNBAzuCt3W
previous day, of course.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiwy0xR1hA
As much as the managers 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNKMa3fmDf
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjTzkeaM2H
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTSUaXQVxc
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNPWw32IbE
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfv18H0pk9
Right now, this very 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zoMUjekJl
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA0sJjvWLt
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyV4mPwBtz
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZz35hc2Qq
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx6U0Ng30B
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHQAbwbnUq
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ugJjD6kM
and I just couldn't take it.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypl2w9mtnt
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt4GNvgQO7
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJLXL7EnvF
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHviWH7IAq4
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtiJ3Tn713
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Vr4MqHrM
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALo9XsUIRf
"I thought you said your plan would work."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x3l9pRphd
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztseFDILRk
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfnWW8mPWc
I felt like slapping my 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOags1quDK2
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLzYBRT7ph
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cA6gaEXdu
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4MHS7mKfg
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUOxN7CbXA
off.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC6cXkeEx0
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX4PVzLG0b
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MuEHT5P1W
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TF4SxZ3fx
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrpWO3ulj0
I shrugged. She read my 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oiZzt4eUT
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpvEe82fBj
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3gGysnjjG
me the whole time."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwcVUDPX75
I sat down on my bed as 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufZHNSM5Ea
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAcSTZI44d
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddPPVjiPk6
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN5ehkCWF8
"Gosh, you really should1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuba3iYmZ2
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER7JFX346U
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU02xaj7TRc
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ztuDAub4g
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs1P6NvHLA
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqOTy9k5F4
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oAk3Nk6St
"Mike is annoying 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jXIxmkXm2
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrqn4NTRZa
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSpi9okpjJ
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjbtArvNcf
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63lweoLWp7
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qzn6iyiX1
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELj05Dxz7Q
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGbqRwyYL9
"Sorry, but just so you 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2BvHuZeAE
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoIxD8kp0Q
that pic of you and him together."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ea3g3qEvp
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uymC7sGKt
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wh0IVCQUq
I blushed and at the 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxs6qsYmmZ
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHTOVldZUn
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WlMlDFkiN
other hidden agenda.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPDxBeEOlc
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5HDbIYvwF
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AoWJwO00e
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbXjjVgVZ6
I sighed in surrender. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOVzLNxluF
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxCm2C7dit
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFHIJyGO0N
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMQ7Jfs0sT
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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rYZjdVFOy
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MSy4eOsJC
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8edOsU95U
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4XotVxvh6
Zoey had an excited look1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4cq8glY0r
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2evNVfBxk
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxMDCRMMtf
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTctUnVyim
clearly show all over her face.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tyuZeYHuc
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiA2tRqXMz
I shook my head. "And?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qx9R06JW1
Zoey folded her arms, 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B9RCqRaQy
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrOCK0ROZ4
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVKMyPCSoT
"Hold that thought. This1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QpsHjvl8B
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw1Mwfbd8M
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AxCdakp7H
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF1omztAZW
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HYCgJL2Vd
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFbuI0G7Nx
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7tC8DctP8
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapL1pgoArK
"Well, he hid in our closet."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ICEmsjHtf
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszcYLOZho3
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0FuFve1Fy
"Ya, why?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxSBlNYOEs
"Looks like we just 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNThear8xBy
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWB3gEqbQ7
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSChHLzQOL
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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCuUaFinkn
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGFBZonh67
"What do you mean? You 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7qvwW2BZQ
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d6hhJTSHx
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvv7QuOc3i
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDvHlO85ly
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDySO9ULLDg
"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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoY1NVWxPy
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1XukK597u
"I wanted to but I kept 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaeOtD5eOa
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkdSmSGMJ6
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtt7q0rpnV
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zUSr9CLn0
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qAp3TU6aa
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7hnJP437m
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHRTPHfjhc
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDLy28qOiV
I quickly stood up and 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67xm1b9xAr
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX9Wge08uK
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhTDvqBNdf
her back.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHyIiIqTmv
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKb5A6KErA
"Zoey, you're going to 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrykAYa7Hc7
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2uhhfanzM
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBDORpmFh1
own hair pink in the next ten years."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO7CyeAXdV
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWWDu1MTDT
"You're lying."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkdhAaOTGu
"I'm telling the truth!"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO5lVR5paI
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcf579Hpne
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI4xmKVl1n
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpscPmlAdCL
"I can't tell you that."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLn7s3Cb9r
"Why?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAz7ewlWW6
"Because it's 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiAfBDPZN3
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZWlcH47LQ
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEitu9qEae
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx33HpttjO
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP4yZ0oz1x
"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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhOvEzWAWK
"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.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JXALRD2uo
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROSgWY2Ndq
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsj4G2rudP
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcWYoC68It
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6z4xv5XHU
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxfGQh8Kp7
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXXDEsHbiY
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk9ByPMhZ9
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCxYrxglVc
I playfully rolled my 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz3VLepBhU
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpt0zJcGjQ
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRipZYndOzH
also looked worried.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIysvhcUkuU
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygLvWNi2w4
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JJ5KAos8t
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKexoSZlEc2
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgcaTfUSXB
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtEVyd6EqX
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC6e3JgJJw
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqELZuxj7a
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI13hlonLb
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmWhiv718z
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TiXT8iMPU
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u2Kq4MKME
"Okay, first of all," 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxLnP43qZS
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhLCOcWQTD
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyEndNmbw0
he wasn't mad at you."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH35XFViHrh
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9B5AQufeB
"That, he couldn't say."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzgBf21Gda
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTO3qBPDJ2
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpZRXxLjBy
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1hfiro1JL
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv9ATpxtwV
Christine pressed the 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFB2Br6GkR
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVYH5GAWtm
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXP9eFx1lK
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLV348HYEp
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdwnJgvQBN
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXPMxmEdH4
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiXwCAXty0
We got to YG right on 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSQK2RHJeV
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLQVkDGBiF
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEeBIkfezh
arrived a few seconds earlier.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBDmMKAYy9
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwKQwpErI9
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2PYv3vtvT
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvg4iWOVHW
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuMgWDCJ4t
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6bjSiPVsF
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7yeGP9I6O
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMES8HJXd3E
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLiszmtyfy
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJV3V2gdj6
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERLmCoFSbC
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUipvJ4DLSi
"There will be no such 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFahAuc88BU
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRb2ahvKUa
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S75YC0AMQ
"And you're making it 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqXlGCVSPg
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3t0MkAGNu
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEMwKnMB2Y
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqqKgb8D2P
"Trust me, you don't 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WUEUVoJLH
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwbpJ5sLl5
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGGYUYFxoj
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh7hhnYqYB
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNY5gpZylM
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqci7Os1tOV
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8bkmqulSI
"Look, whether they are 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i4ZlZDNMh
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIBRq7MrLb
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuAmVMjqtE
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dBINPBNqr
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwNPIdnH6F
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69yhtqjyUZ
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQP363lUL6
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUtj5RX3yT
I gave Lee a sad smile 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvldVBANfP
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVsGnu4cnO
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVkvhHqSxq
your life. Like suicide.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xrvf85CxK
We started our way 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyEzUVEvWb
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi167ozRQKe
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2ERUtZzkP
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaZy1cvUWw
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSuOw5PET8
I quickly ran out of the1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ESpt99Ft
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDKZoZkvBa
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtYy9tVv0J
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZH6hobXRZ
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3jKAGjCWr
check for it inside.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzym2sjpbSl
When I got to the 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttx5l11YIT
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa12DqpXlZg
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28C42jHo9C
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrffTijC4Tp
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGVsjpQVJL
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAnsPs540J
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNUSzjifUD
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCiE1CNISv
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X7fF5bPWs
"Seriously, I can sue 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaBTXIVEC0
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLoaQ3xf5l
fast. I never even heard him coming.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflnu4xFXaK
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDLZl1HmdO
"You're not my bodyguard1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThQZSfrFDC
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO8g1QxIMJ
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQsBiAtm7G
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAX9r7uMxO
I blushed. "You know about that?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqs4pIRUDx
"Everyone knows you have1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LJrerw7EG
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV535EZb4f
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhiX0PKV9W
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLzQ9kb65V
"Looks like I did the 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXm70SfWOh
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNK669mPHI
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSOTOu2MXs
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLtrkA1sN9
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy7tM5KU1w
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXmUAjN5n9
"And because you're a 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoHZHbjSmx
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfEDR6Ino8
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFIQV22RBv
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIng20jlSPF
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvrNNzpdnR
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8vxp4fz7S
"Can you at least tell 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUoNezYmiG
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fl5bE0R3H
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUofEMP0Onn
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Ixd9G7Iq
"What dramatic effect?" 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6BOJ1Wh90
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw3qF8jKMD
came closer. I took a warning step back.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8gSA63lzg
"If you hadn't followed 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzj1FX9QGk
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnnQHvBeqQ
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrUtwK0AK1
room."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXG8OR5iqY
"What surprise?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAyfZ3cX9k
The elevator stopped and1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhQzyqdUWI
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh7Z9HsCku
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnJDpEoi7u
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu6hrSODsc
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEwYkp7sRq
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21KF1hEU1o
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vbF78KoOU
"I already have a guess," I said.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r6ygg00bk
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N1oH6tpdE
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ErbPKwJaJ
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz8pMZwIxl
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPqyt2TRK6
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbpkIwxgn1
When we reached the 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzpOw8tr80
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYdNPrAJ1Q
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7icXmOUW07
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d9FR7XsfG
In the conference room 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz18J3Wlug
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2k7TlYF9U
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvx4YNFNDK
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2dZxqNcYd
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJW5kie2TL
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlG6G74K5A
though I did my best not to show it.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zKjrY4VdP
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDcZRR96uM
I looked to the opposite1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJIGFvMTQ9
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugwm4zxsXg
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPJwn2epo6
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmVXfgtZsn
"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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1t0ehiPAb
G-Dragon quickly turned 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL10xrZ11m
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7oZqa3OpF
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxp0wb83hm
"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?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTUPFfvkvY
"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.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC5jnAPSvW
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy7z6mxMyB
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWUpsbShgi
"Wait," said Lisa who 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj6daXS2nX
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnRrkWnfti
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm64AVzeXU
"It felt simple and 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKf7jlEa5G
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ON5KgNU1
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXxbbYJ2KM
with G-Dragon today."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WAnhwKQvj
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WQNfMLOBx
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8XeOwg5s5
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwzYupTuci
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SCICBIaT9
"Ya, I know I'm a 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmDrCYSM81
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4M4wgNWbz
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDFKOupdDr
"If you mean us getting 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy0m58GBLC
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXonnF2QPv
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJt0tA8eqe
by coincidence."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjQeabFj8i
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp4Fhz7y9N
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwovcp2XxIA
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy16U27lLP
The rest of the BTW crew1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuH8wZU2Y4
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPClDxOQZ3l
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCOtV7NDZz
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaQlKcpaNw
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl1bZZBRma
"Hold up," said Zoey who1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo03oYF3fM
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgjZXYaKts
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5Y1THYnUd
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpjj4Jcjaa
"Told you we'll 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB4sBfscFp
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGINfT5lYEA
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60M7FbaK0B
"But is he going to do 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbywRcOLolM
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqIWGonGA5
didn't really meet by coincidence."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmHuy0OQil
There was silence in the1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZMvuu9Jiy
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXepJxarx1A
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsRtBxw5VT
planning to do.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6XUav7GRl
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQknR9KyuoT
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWegO172lo2
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38PkmVubFJ
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVn9cRWDeQ
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uYICUDyAK
"And also because he's 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64dDxHTQXd
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfklil6vuDG
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08kZzL0qsR
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeupWIREnz
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAkKRJvrCR
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM9yewcekW
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnClhv1xd3
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzvL6GYG0x
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNAkr6upn3
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOqz7xGgvC
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugbA7HnmGM
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnG1qidzAH
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV2tkYusKN
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxUvRd92rW
deal with G-Dragon instead.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYOEhKUd8c
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzrRV6Mx77
"What do you want?" I asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsOLw3arKT
G-Dragon looked at me as1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmYvduJCP6
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk58f7QqJoh
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZJisWcSGt
came to any conclusions.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwSHGWMwZa
"To make things clear 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrNhWeCcuc
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OYXzXLvOm
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TG1SH87yh
thinking about doing the same thing."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEnBanqbfO
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF2IaRjbhs
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmGvRpRGga
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IPexHTa3r
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XM3f54hno
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQTIs2hENi
"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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvnKKfDFoc
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGecfpk9FQ
"All's fair in love and 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglZmjmELDL
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLCFxAUoir
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazIQ79RYpr
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ax0RFFOnp
"Come on," Christine 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVtvQIpTvx
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ112X3I2ECS
won't be here for long and you know it."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRWjw4br7y
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LvXbsp2jZ
"BTW is nothing but a 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGfeNZjCVO
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsZDqGI0SP
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrn9z0fgR9
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfQpVaBbnX
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkDGGqUAMz
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3k8h5ercD
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55YF6cdCL2
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IIE2MrQPr
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ttNxcznSB
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwWyhTGn2M
"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.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSaDKy7oUh
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOWAlXsseA
Upon saying that, the 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwHqJpGsaQ
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtzf8KBuOy
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv195G5CDD
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEx6UrW0nZ
seated stood up.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSoMOzMjfZ
I gulped. I hope the 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ17L4D1OmD
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxE0vj0dMr
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTndrhJAHHe
The two managers had 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64lgvTd7xe
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUUm2kH8CT
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ5obuagy0
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ891RIOOCqj
is wrong.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC2Xvylwz3
"Good that you're all 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkghGfKZR1
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMu29smUhl
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNbxvUxbjJ
I have always hated it 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjzHegtnpm
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihmi9zEoFw
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhDVOEDFjC
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4eA9MW0wN
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNk62SR44A
their seats.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN90U5zxK3c
The two managers and Lee1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG0JJt03Fz
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTLnQBV4dF
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3KRGk3879
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH5AldfhbH
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrLmmt1nEM
was.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Iq6ywF0J
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlwpVWhsdl
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlQxDCDtpE
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkqMgS9T9T
Zoey sighed loudly in 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZdwBpH7TI
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXWe3pdvd0
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrbwk4kXO5
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BJG0gFe8j
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqQXESRIhd
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHarYNQzpvA
The two managers 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p7DZqftaR
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBsyVoaQZl
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIheuQQxVD
That was so not cool.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07pMh2rMWr
"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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHsKnCrXjw
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4BTKehIoS
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlcbUY0MxV
My ears perked up when 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QG5CS20Y5
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslgBDnz8SL
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rAq3X6qcQ
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lcpP96Fuw
"We heard you outside 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSk1rZf3IW
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjUrNlA3M1
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqPFyNLLju
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5SQybIhGD
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NtWyXfkY4
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SFDy5x8j8
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgWAqy72Wu
through further scrutiny about this decision."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzs03NlV3j
I smiled. Even if they 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSUy566kkl
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5fVGvLhqA
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FOpl7a9PT
There was an exciting 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmNgl15UJ0
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp4nh3Vu9o
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn4NcLwb2L
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNHUDIFuB1
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq6eRQEIql
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfv9f2hfi9
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K7QAr2D3h
I turned to my other 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV91vdojDKW
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE6Il6Rb8R
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQU1YoPoDU
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz0AtBsZIN
now, didn't matter.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3uUXd7V04
"You heard them when 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiTbAVmdSG
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu9dY9sZhq
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFIerZnTKM
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9K0UB0d9O
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE2FgSo5cf
"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.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKeVSwo8ia
This time it was me, or I1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmAbOh1AuL
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfHDvCA6q7
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4obfXHrAh
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsjh3mVLGc
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdrwv57lYN
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9rr07fZlM
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUWAemtFLa
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjq79dLgzM
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFDdTddGqX
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctHwRrDNWz
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYzlFUvYKp
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDHYpxaGJJ
"We all agree," said Daniel.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ouJuuzbGh
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXNSmr9kX6
"But just because it 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdD6Dipg04
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCslK6KbiGx
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWkOwBTAMm
"Okay, so that's settled1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGXac2fulD
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlHDZtISzr
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRQnq3xTce
BTW official."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct2RuUaoMQ
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuID2WyMoo
I noticed that most of 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDeFnMBOya
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hni5SVb3R
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgLU3hxBmt
when she looked at me and I grinned.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RThcFoJ0P
"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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWtyB6PFG4
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj6BedVRxG
"Before we make BTW 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm1plk1NIL
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Dy8U7unc
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiNWypB2zl
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuel9mcCL8
low for a while. Is that good?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDwK3MgFhk
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSu9sFaLbi
"That's fair enough," 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLt2GENxu1
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJpAdGWV6P
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsX1rZRmxr
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHquUSRC8u5
so."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMpe18wC8I
"So you want to crush 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPNWg7ZWBH
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqX2oM534k
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5pRG5PU6i
strategy."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qT5W2OtlF
"Then if all is well and1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUeTG07r0i
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAmUv0hdJZ
updated and not a word on social media."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8GfIGwgYT
I stood up from my seat 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3BblWS7Bp
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEj1vzdt7t
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprutT6V9VQ
walk out, I stopped them.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1kyzBoZBs
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP95E8Md73E
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A6oqqKkag
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN202HulrcD
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBPXEQcl4k
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMinxdzT8K
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbtLmP4hWK
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ1rZBOekz
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjttJyx24C
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w6kBzSIQv
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28aGMb7fBz
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUBJBA3hN8
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcMR3EOYdE
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTYneZh8MP
"This is like the best 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB360oqVAxv
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGbeDelDR5
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9vw6rlHdb
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7Tt6Qx4ki
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GWvtWptwR
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJsTedJE7N
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HuKBFcHn4
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklgaW26nlK
"I knew there was a 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw57v1HkLq
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2MWH2hzvg
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgnXOT6j1h
G-Dragon.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOHZAjxdFa
"You knew?" Christine asked.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0E6Lftvzl
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnseS0ZhiOM
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLGsqt2Bpr
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS1mEClfKj
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwYmoP8VOS
"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.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI80P3zdvB4
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kfad2q5j5
"Well, you guys can tell1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs8wG5Glwm
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt0glo0K1i
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3t1YNVf0Y
aren't going to go into the same car."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1CkM54K64
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MnWW7Ev1O
Everyone else started to1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S4sDYexf5
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu9xsPVgVW
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0a2yp1GNx
only G-Dragon and I.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rHXoYTsT3
"I'm mad at you," I started.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpdrg8gOu1
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhVYNRaypd
"Save it." I held my 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0ajKc0nyu
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40gIZE4O34
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOODNA0D2EU
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdJtjYRMlL
a war again."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M8uyfc2UZ
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRxkjmC5CJ
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfunZnBQGw
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4VSTwJ9cV
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufR3mrAx0s
G-Dragon looked at me 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC7ZhWEFBz
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Nu3wz7eL
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuKivTOyFk
stab in the heart.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITAmjaaDdH
"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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC0mjkpBOi
"You know, the others 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B9se8qEK2
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G5uejtu9v
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDjMJBSTIv
with WINNER yesterday."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt6iKvTFLo
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Yt8FGvbC
I nodded my head. What I1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4sWL9Zdb8
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlRLaLO8aL
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxuLI5LUt8
of Seunghoon and I.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMwEL0zenY
"You know you and I can 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ZH7k7C9t
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiU5hWj3oh
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIndBR7nqqz
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB5ddd1TLl
down the rocks."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uJg9eig7L
I headed for the door 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN2ctCdMsl
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi61kuntiOk
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWdjyKrabr
Zoey, waiting.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8gZW94LOJ
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sdsas75E4
"I sure hope so," I said1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrwyn2nHdk
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bEIFqzhNa
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBN0xla0z3
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXX8YKcYn4
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f0xa5L0T0
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1YnKD46AW
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7RjDiUJkS
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94DC6aGC2h
"You know computers are 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdltcYLZD4E
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWneurjTU63
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH9Czh5ebB
supposed to."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5z7gC5433
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI0413YtMH
I smiled. "You always call me that."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEoXUgcCvr
"Ya, because you're smart too."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25xOZ1bNX6
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvCK2f2iqK
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRErp9mXE3L
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4vqBRw8lJ
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMVfuHeJ9R
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhtTWex1Fa
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
