Hanging out at Times 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXTVD8uebe
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JGCDjREQ2
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOAf1vLn0l
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT55UkC090Y
But that didn't matter. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzvsSLXS7d
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRYGssj4FI
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Cd6JcfIR
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSblie6kUA
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1cg6jRa50
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI1tsNncBO
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rz6VYSN4W
actually played around with the adorable kids.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV0gbozEex
There were plenty of 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05aQssNK6I
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuEkKvYKhm
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fqGE14XH5
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tnet73UDf
fans too.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF8GDUDDee
The time we were done 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUm4vzUENm
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuYGJf2Nxz
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQucwxnLGnA
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNKnPDM1sA
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bxn8hJRON
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wa9WL0FOi
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTio3FwUfu9
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1sJzgxkHi
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ4Y3lWBrY
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQfSN7nW9N
previous day, of course.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9DXuNyTLP
As much as the managers 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Iszr2vmsp
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLjkohKmsC
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimuydH6G2a
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlX1BiXmNr
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIjKTEmetc
Right now, this very 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT9zDphG0k
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW2GB1PrHF
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxsPG4zqSP
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpYhSy9eUv
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVAVw4BWQ2
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRI5s3hteu
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtNAwE0yVa
and I just couldn't take it.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTbMmd1CmJ
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsiJGTRJtA
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWKkEi39Uf
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5yrgkjnr0
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk6YuPyiya
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa20oWtEZYu
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvieEnBTngY
"I thought you said your plan would work."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJnGQu3U5b
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetHaivOjlW
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3p4Tceglv
I felt like slapping my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPNO6Ik9lY
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywrqcqEsqu
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTMe2qPT5H
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkWyKLJb2K
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYkAksGZ5e
off.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp9EUHhXgv
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkRbHEcL8o
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1yWdQsaZS
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc0H2djtEM
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5zudTpEUt
I shrugged. She read my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexLEQ9dn4y
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVePCBZYgkM
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTpVq06XVG
me the whole time."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm78fBgDdhG
I sat down on my bed as 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtmWEBgqdO
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoPcrmtpUQ
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgCwv5CdKw
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C7ioAMbLX
"Gosh, you really should995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3FpWUdPB0
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lpYPwNYY5
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ6cHvu0BD
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IY7WWN0QI
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gC7qLt0ko
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwMm4bv7x1
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfsg5hm0BA
"Mike is annoying 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG4vrkdLcu
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27xxnLcO8f
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRgr9expth
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk54nU81jG
"You're right. I should burn him instead."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLM9qrkYEA
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHAvjldO52
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVqFfHh6eq
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbUHFywxmZ
"Sorry, but just so you 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotbk9pnGaZ
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNlwERO4Ur
that pic of you and him together."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMKtCljGfw
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehwyRvvJBx
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpFstThvTm
I blushed and at the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeUbZDzhv9
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyTAzwvOcI
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvBAlKLiuH
other hidden agenda.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYYLiIkUby
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdvgqZ7x10
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgOzg5XCYQ
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX9YTYJMX0
I sighed in surrender. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOKePY3YUb
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGbLWcmXsY
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxOjactvK4
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwb4DpwRwI
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI8BSZcS5K
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpGfMmpYAt
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeQHeKmEgb
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVbWECB5f3
Zoey had an excited look995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjidGubZVW
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBtUDLWtQ0
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZfvzio4CO
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cbSdWaaN9
clearly show all over her face.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlgCz83FM6
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMywrcH2YU
I shook my head. "And?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvGoFvSEht
Zoey folded her arms, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sGhx8ByAd
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb7bBzpiDk
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36ewUCzmPu
"Hold that thought. This995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF05ddC8ndH
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyDZ5lXxxS
after Seunghoon posted that picture."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBqt6VJfO8
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pt95cS0Fd
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbhpuCfT7r
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJlm4sodDf
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WvsrBTe0P
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzEDQn6vBG
"Well, he hid in our closet."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PMNxefn2C
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ1mPbBg1H
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLa6fdGXMr
"Ya, why?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR4mSBU5cE
"Looks like we just 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdOqdiAJAY
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyAaHvXyGm
whom we consider perfect as our bias."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKbmPlSH0i
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJqXSzqCqx
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0u2yugN5B
"What do you mean? You 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE1GUCG8vf
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONBfg8hhVQ
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXALuAj4DG
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW56Ib2058N
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHndvJKGlE
"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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtANRRMBSl
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJpv2cJDQM
"I wanted to but I kept 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFUSHRXoXD
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicLbG6VuVk
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQPd8LDoFR
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o2nCyOOj7
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N6zEjLKUV
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBYDap5Cfk
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uApqWhURR
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfugZajrusP
I quickly stood up and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ylTSJjan3
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk14j46YOfN
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6ThoVaQ63
her back.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9wYbVGCws
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01yNi68rbv
"Zoey, you're going to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikXbZJKksn
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRsiMCGWBJ
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrGXgFEs1X
own hair pink in the next ten years."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCTpm5GJyw
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JHYvLsxoR
"You're lying."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkhpVnnwn6
"I'm telling the truth!"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSuvDhWSqJ
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCsqZtGYDz
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yHjcWC14w
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9Lvyq0Icj
"I can't tell you that."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7srlxVk4T
"Why?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGm2Lu8Byw
"Because it's 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEVjV6dibh
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2woN8jJL42
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXMUWb2pUV
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsj7ZV9oSZ
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV3vfWEvtQ
"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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUewZ1fw5Ij
"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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtwuL287ON
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8N8Mq9pBQ
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp00PM0KaCM
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5xru50yXV
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8eJzuN0n9
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKMJV9l478
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtWXCgIwTx
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXgv1urGeJ
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpvHFOCYPF
I playfully rolled my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT9WwH0tDD
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UCaqgYZh6
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfsubuJDWC
also looked worried.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI8jkQJYEn
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesXk1CHwDP
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl9tUiV0dP
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAvnldygYn
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKftWeFyJ1U
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaddehZXv1g
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh45N6aw9e
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB59cPK3pV
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbigiRzOORt
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J2LSVvonD
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR62MDd7ph
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z74X1FaYF
"Okay, first of all," 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrStNCCWbh
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb80beGjmEn
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT4Lwn3Ugk
he wasn't mad at you."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlklgfYeSdM
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAfrJN1ECN
"That, he couldn't say."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2dik6oufo
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsPw9By8VW
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLIad0Io2n
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzJO9TQR58
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b0R6KXjNV
Christine pressed the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rgpNkYgDA
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHVplSNug6
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5xQYN677Q
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIALsM5jky
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6rIGwrvjp
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM20b0b32mO
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidGyXi1RFB
We got to YG right on 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5twzHctef4
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTHTO3TovW
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwxm7vld3t
arrived a few seconds earlier.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45RYsoIMbF
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qtWJ42RT4
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEV3uj7dO6
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q2hgrEVf3
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cav1RknnG
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAHWUQRYJL
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cp2b5PUfi
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF6kVr3snA
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzaAatM6pu
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IUKiWRpla
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9wupEAPEj
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gvvNQ2SBJ
"There will be no such 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C7pmjOGX0
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL77URlOF6f
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjngIg5Yup
"And you're making it 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzhW4sTiKF
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhprUvex1R
pouted his lip and scratched his head.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhXtcVoazh
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN4FKSGFjN
"Trust me, you don't 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmu49kiidI
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v1zBIRnac
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTccXAARFr
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7faVnQzE1
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnhaayjDuL
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBsypl6iOd
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCRl9LdrxV
"Look, whether they are 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVYFs2UJ3q
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQcn3Wbx4x
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIsXOHENq2
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbOVx1EOlN
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02aeb6M21q
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhQlwIauRe
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhH3kjxLBU
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgfsWbXtzV
I gave Lee a sad smile 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgGf2nSxQ6
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtUBrUHc5p
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fhIu9K1Xg
your life. Like suicide.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjYgruSnM0
We started our way 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQmouPT9NW
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbNIXTsvwN
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao89Zh74J8
and my jean trousers. Nothing.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9CY7YONa4
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqp9ODi1XR
I quickly ran out of the995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kNofNKaDs
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wTabX1UU2
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo6fkLSVge
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQWdttkZTN
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe2ovBfxgk
check for it inside.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A9HYgFxpN
When I got to the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanwUNpe2F2
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayvGAGJrQi
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWA6yGD6K1
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIM0mPCIvn
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH5KnJfTQT
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD3PVe1kib
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1d9ZRZagC
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPHIbxRHNG
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDDJQqnKFA
"Seriously, I can sue 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhZfgorG69
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOmpfzHpsv
fast. I never even heard him coming.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyniYUk3g5
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI0AbHQXXJ
"You're not my bodyguard995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgigWjkh7yy
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrGtMn9CaX
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VgK24FN5t
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5J1o7P5V5
I blushed. "You know about that?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmvFDF7CiJ
"Everyone knows you have995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRVyR3HF3o
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Aycb2zT0C
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU58DBZ6Fx
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgbrq39Be8
"Looks like I did the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuZsIBARIr
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j0INlNxLK
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uJbw4UXR2
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9sxAi2VKB
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOQRAI1Eh6
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o1G2uNd2y
"And because you're a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgc1dqwYQc
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnVlONI6eI
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOunX0FIdR
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlfN8q5oA7
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiomzpIWYz6
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUtv1qO9D0
"Can you at least tell 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FonV0OGQ2
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd3Gl040KQ
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1YXYcdgzF
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3LHlD86lG
"What dramatic effect?" 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoYwTp9WXA
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR6OXS40t3
came closer. I took a warning step back.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhd3byIWHi
"If you hadn't followed 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjoVLD9Pux
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBjOjJvXw3
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWofqLy2EyV
room."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepujR4EaEh
"What surprise?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SwZWYtZhJ
The elevator stopped and995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2GmxEo2JB
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLnoY4VtyQ
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXpOGIppBG
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN7Rn9XW5E
Seunghoon and I stepped out.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHg6do3maN
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeV2GthIr8
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPq0Tgavz3
"I already have a guess," I said.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSc75zt2am
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe21xYY04Gm
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNomlVkpgT
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF4zTggtJF
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLSskYevGD
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B7AmUOItw
When we reached the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSb0WnVGz8
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KsdBUI2Lx
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcrBiWHMc7
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBss8qBfTTn
In the conference room 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx5aIXPd3y
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ggHOnvIfx
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF4ornGje5
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWGbGlMASN
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0htjvRKWZn
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho19pelXyI
though I did my best not to show it.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD0p22gciY
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw48XXePkPz
I looked to the opposite995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDczdS2iZ0h
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BMTMZU269
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln2WMYZhdR
turned their backs to us facing the wall.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5vUoD0eCy
"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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrHUzL5gcv
G-Dragon quickly turned 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FJKZZdgIp
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR5nYUlqhd
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ScRfH2pRL
"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?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ6UyKUKaJ
"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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPMHnd5WAE
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpm4gxOhzF
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvAk5WHwY2
"Wait," said Lisa who 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKNevIJlHi
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpCUhT8gd3
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV7umFuFzs
"It felt simple and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hz94nTp3W
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDPssrPdlC
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxlVkS5aPA
with G-Dragon today."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ThI1In0PW
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL5cz2VBqt
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAN1vNpJlO
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9EwXqeN5U
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF4jVCSMkH
"Ya, I know I'm a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7hhhoC3hl
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTo1fdlYG3
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmAgIPB8Lp
"If you mean us getting 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZgeZIXB0i
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXep0mttQGo
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3n9NO4SLt
by coincidence."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3mpAuJB08
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PACNhITlx
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kUstOj6hY
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xRkpKCnWG
The rest of the BTW crew995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLloC1Lg9W
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYlSAA3aB2
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlusv86pHH
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgICV7Vf1o
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA1HvetOIf
"Hold up," said Zoey who995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVfsp8j7Jg
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGR48SFkmV
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKBiM3eC9L
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH6022z6FJ
"Told you we'll 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVovfW0MlCv
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdhRvf3CBa
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzfzHNuUJc
"But is he going to do 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCz6N2DYej
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfQRVwDj6h
didn't really meet by coincidence."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTdjtCeNZL
There was silence in the995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6osJtwsIv
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePcWK3pCVo
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQHiEbB7P4
planning to do.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf1QLc9OZ1
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFiMB6HaRL
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmvYrNRbSm
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ziRf2OnPy
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22vnPQx1Pm
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8idMbLKHD0
"And also because he's 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOTdJN8pho
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtbxBWuxjM
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoN5BnfwWu
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ApPaGy4MQ
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwXFoeQXf5
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvx5BV4dvh
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5arysw3Xrg
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OwS4eXhKB
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWaLfZjEyn
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWyHFc2Md7
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG90tECBxx
G-Dragon smiled. He had 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7OaZsp2ry
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U5cT28zwX
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj5rQpzQ6J
deal with G-Dragon instead.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrutCRvBpd
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUUDmpwUlr
"What do you want?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQUbcnJNst
G-Dragon looked at me as995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVqSVBcJTE
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN9VG1pRcb
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVxqK8w8mZ
came to any conclusions.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCFLAz1emO
"To make things clear 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQY2EUAdL1
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbaXm8RwFh
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwsRcmGUCW
thinking about doing the same thing."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbObyZiuPl4
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5CYVEZDFI
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy66tAF8ja
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlmejk13qb
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TMDecxVjG
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEcLMX67L0
"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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PJDJVG2ZC
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIwRvrtn3h
"All's fair in love and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusRjOyPKqR
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ2NitBlWE
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqljA6QQgq
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EZFqtKt1I
"Come on," Christine 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjqrbpRwyL
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3ePYM9D7o
won't be here for long and you know it."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu15xRsw7i6
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlERe7bWjS
"BTW is nothing but a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxydYvXu0Nf
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ux81Uxdu
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARlbaRIK1L
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eHGO6xxCP
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt6ra8KNjH
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxjj1Amtww
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVNEKvTQUP
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgx68Wt5cM
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXkQnWKmHo
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntQqFW3xZK
"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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrACS1MlFVx
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICh6L3vOlZ
Upon saying that, the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63qjMW5Op6
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg842U5gba
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIfJU8WRoD
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQXHEhz75t
seated stood up.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bFAGSrqJG
I gulped. I hope the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytLhJHjpbn
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuFWGX8glW
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkceWFCajpG
The two managers had 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwtYioUJk9
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ142pN5oXtm
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzEOWl49Gi
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0lHRzmsCp
is wrong.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUFplvCMDG
"Good that you're all 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp2EAf8ybX
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskM6CouYIE
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF5W2hzpFW
I have always hated it 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfobMKyPxT
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcmiht4K09
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PSlR8dg6L
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxb5vJ1hnP
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyFU4lYRd2
their seats.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiJihZwcbr
The two managers and Lee995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEARqRzwveH
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDiFyCtLgp
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvekxlsx0C
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzmpiMzmzJ
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9I9gCMsU1
was.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIUGzBXj6N
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1Mq6UZBW1
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqIQWchDeO
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s8975ys2x
Zoey sighed loudly in 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo9Xja2a6I
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4VvUUz3EX
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GNajdq6rT
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz5TPEfaZk
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjhS6CpY28
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgwieNisLU
The two managers 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5rVpFO4we
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPdD4F0ReI
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4ESW69WQJ
That was so not cool.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5X9Kuc6io
"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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNEq0aCAp3
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaygSOelk7
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtt9CLB193
My ears perked up when 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7aKxPw5QE
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE85inZvrC
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf69iQ1poXu
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpLfhe8dYm
"We heard you outside 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUpNiClDAH
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RvzkbGWg2
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanTtWI0HhJ
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyz0KZnf1a
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvsVatL2wx
"Yes, Sam. For real," 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa9cgD0P7N
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Efe1iSNW
through further scrutiny about this decision."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXlhFZf84P
I smiled. Even if they 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sNPJl8aoG
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjHfr3wyBW
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86sbytYYe3
There was an exciting 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Qu93p6iD
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsMdlxJp5D
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxh7pPNG1F
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDz8SH0rxy
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5NuzOSNAX
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopSWxEdoUx
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN6z2EBQps
I turned to my other 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyCboDRJN2
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e3oyWwHXY
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExWnyzb40R
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12xRir7VeW
now, didn't matter.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzW8GcEBfS
"You heard them when 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJhcv7yYQQ
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWJrWBqh3a
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwPiMZ6vKj
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbYuB7AlN3
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrWl8cQuFI
"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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpJXgc5IU3
This time it was me, or I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc9x1cMBR8
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoRu9y2ngx
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdoZDyHjoX
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR3S0nku0W
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzo6rp7z9b
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyaoTTbc22
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlC2RmiOdd
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEkKIW082A
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItEbpUC8t3
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhyhFib9MV
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl6IgwOXbz
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBCNDEgfbs
"We all agree," said Daniel.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplum69bJzk
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsT0YArwXL
"But just because it 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuWc0TyvHu
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqjR8NakLV
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcLKICc4EJ
"Okay, so that's settled995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aimahkBX8
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnDyPuHI0n
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtOp4DuQeJ
BTW official."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEzjI2SM3p
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdR5pMgf0f
I noticed that most of 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4CnTZwAZn
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF5Ayl1zz5
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8XT2msFQg
when she looked at me and I grinned.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9F34T20oi
"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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DZ643QbBM
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnII4FTOC2
"Before we make BTW 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zBvOf88Ib
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC3D3vUOjl
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA8XVLXNhl
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTCodypPed
low for a while. Is that good?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryFpb9E4JS
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ADBNHmodt
"That's fair enough," 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsT0R1USje
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XJVgJbCuJ
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EEIttdVBg
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfFwAoWpSv
so."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YPMYcONWv
"So you want to crush 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkrrtl73N2
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK1kkKZRRu
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcBvoLgN1U
strategy."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwuIKJzhj7
"Then if all is well and995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJIxwmrkV6
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcoTqOtHDY
updated and not a word on social media."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTynEZzgJ5
I stood up from my seat 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWPHZgweaf
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuDFtXOyU4
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcwLsvq6Fg
walk out, I stopped them.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy9CyUWeGF
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNMgeNL5DE
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6vPVkrII2
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc1ncRMnvm
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfGidq7MCl
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7HJxscEqA
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4XEafLTb7
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FQrg65Sbx
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4BfNTR660
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajdLE459Rv
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX2rwvyFca
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxX0Xru8Wo
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc1gGj7h2v
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF4gj1TL73
"This is like the best 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMvnP2Laus
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNDwDLk0rE
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlp7ngzAeN
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VBm7iYVVY
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPIycDmYpo
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS2VNhqEiG
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexxmvyXztF
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtUoTHSLXX
"I knew there was a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFQR6fjaLV
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6IJGybabN
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l3KxHe1a1
G-Dragon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBah2iNUjg
"You knew?" Christine asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL9iab76Iv
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RnI2Ruk23
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB8ip0a4YF
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXACfzPHl6
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMRgjGcDnU
"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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvErScaiIV1
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg2gloz6Wa
"Well, you guys can tell995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bPfPA40xI
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX2svU9ygl
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3EJ66DJJw
aren't going to go into the same car."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUzPnR3N3N
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8GycLxj1N
Everyone else started to995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAUNXN5jKG
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpcFZp0fek
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMsqGLIssI
only G-Dragon and I.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuIhHJMTHT
"I'm mad at you," I started.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqlM45iESN
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwkwhts22t
"Save it." I held my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdawAmxmkE
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdTkcXaF34
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl0FEbgiKQ
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIR4pgNE5Q
a war again."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl72BbaT77
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEpfWYvo40
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeaxLwJnkC
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstxtQPEVIj
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5wdy9TfFI
G-Dragon looked at me 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bR8bTsfyY
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53DT0hAMQz
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26MkWxexEP
stab in the heart.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7bOZOyCDA
"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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7B5LGoaDO
"You know, the others 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDzwsE9TV5
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkENVjbQejI
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEbcAQFnTo
with WINNER yesterday."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRAiJjPmFn
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiEezukHGr
I nodded my head. What I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w0lXnBYpL
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK4oLp2RK8
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9SM23lX5L
of Seunghoon and I.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9qEWGruE9
"You know you and I can 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquhKfd9M0N
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vbAobZF5t
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gAyg5QTJu
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5pqvUd4id
down the rocks."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wz4VVTXwG
I headed for the door 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzfz8CVaBG
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7p0knzegq
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfcAtnipZF
Zoey, waiting.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Zwmczm6l
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBi7GzrPzy
"I sure hope so," I said995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmEwUNJJDY
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wdogYCvtA
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qOYwK7fdl
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EOHs6BniW
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnDWPERXgw
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M2YZ5uCcX
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklRekKakRI
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFoXNCquz0
"You know computers are 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5DdeSxROK
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpy4h0gJAr
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdARPLhP5R2
supposed to."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDlLWs7VVX
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6CQjOPMRY
I smiled. "You always call me that."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw2SaNlSFj
"Ya, because you're smart too."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RJHsml6Mf
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewvSuIt1G9
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODuukfRJ2C
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfimT7EmA9K
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH41emYzUL
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFgNCSSijU
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
