Hanging out at Times 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9TXLoAIBS
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ILCO7VKZ
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpy0UMxFTZ
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWmIffgZv5
But that didn't matter. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB4Kwhq899
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmWqLa9Ttj
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bBYqZV46C
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxvwU7LTp5
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHD5xCbz38
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfhMWHIKCb
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpdFKGSf0D
actually played around with the adorable kids.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw7OE0lHkP
There were plenty of 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurTvtmSDRO
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bVInzM8vP
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7ljwyVdiY
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L4HCygF3n
fans too.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9uhfmUKGG
The time we were done 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk0g5RtQ30
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF0dzSeTod
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZMCRL2Ef6
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4cuqWNK4W
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIEKq9TCJU
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmmR5iYscD
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71H0QOLtsA
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3wPmJyxNI
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxk9haN6Sz
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5N44kWQ7n
previous day, of course.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKdpoyBpuO
As much as the managers 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLveyPUWNZq
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rtFhQGGLP
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi554f3OL1y
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvj8Ezw9mE
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8MQh9YeYM
Right now, this very 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ3z0NyJis
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cpqnd1ymg
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOTboH9bJU
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wt4t5ty9R
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2ovVTfPv9
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCFLZjz7BU
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaar4eSV00L
and I just couldn't take it.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ5OO9SSDP
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcI7BxAjtX
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEFYBTGJuK
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb79DfXOaHF
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQZsgyty8F
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qkyg0QWDT
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIXJIz3H0I
"I thought you said your plan would work."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuWUKBqPEP
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLknY6PqSEG
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7y3sf2WoP
I felt like slapping my 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI5hKxDAoH
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5htfML7bjg
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i1Pf9aUUn
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BHxMA6bYa
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3khZX0DdR
off.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcqYHfH1u6
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLrdY661QT
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YwvENbTB5
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFNnj7YtEg
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghIvKRrDhl
I shrugged. She read my 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZQKia1n1P
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6EmTBBdS8
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtrJsNDL3a
me the whole time."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSV0PEC5qe
I sat down on my bed as 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSbGvAkZoU
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM1GUoJpE8
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTZnGKkAm2
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZhpBWZWLf
"Gosh, you really should956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7c1pO2449
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2euElxphyx
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcQiGiYryu
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TF5ZnwjRC
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74tdA03GJK
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPN3vWB9ju
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSgB1XpIDP
"Mike is annoying 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyow5X7MOp
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZE77ZTnOZ
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoaOEngSWA
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ejfFWyQpI
"You're right. I should burn him instead."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDogAzkCZq
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSt4N5lJ7H
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx8b2WmT7e
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67s5duDXwb
"Sorry, but just so you 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRxm0zBU2a
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqposHn8WcG
that pic of you and him together."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fYGwYISSW
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D5n50nC5N
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwhsjQVtVh
I blushed and at the 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV51FlTynTu
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezzPeQuS5O
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0FRhEl7bt
other hidden agenda.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKshvx3Xbo3
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLICCjjJN2
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiUKEJZleF
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpG4MAjXZ5
I sighed in surrender. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGfxyH1ggR
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstJDSiINyt
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0f7CuxW9J
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiMizo4uY3
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."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrynPw1thf
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV1VkUIWjH
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ5jzWxDmn
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Dewv1qkB
Zoey had an excited look956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWYrgs6AB5
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87gYjlA0Ka
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0p56a3V9g
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYFCUmC6u6
clearly show all over her face.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JA9qXJbaR
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE6wiOGtCh
I shook my head. "And?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4sEbMwmKa
Zoey folded her arms, 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoziGUEDUc
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLR5oM3T5t
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YWlNhVhWA
"Hold that thought. This956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RdOUoiwao
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpVbxlkWmX
after Seunghoon posted that picture."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqT55WJBLY
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLm8V0oLwT
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIFKcFjgxF
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBfRPZShfl
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHrhzC4hhy
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry5XYyUN8t
"Well, he hid in our closet."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxdIaDDXC5
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbwWYScadL
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0WrKWguFZ
"Ya, why?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kvOZ4tbrs
"Looks like we just 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WkTk26dVV
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6jWo7T1Xv
whom we consider perfect as our bias."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VtOJnT2i9
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."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoA2gUFmOx
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQssSH8uq3q
"What do you mean? You 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfJagGXlhy
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEIRtXJYBl
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgVsDJsvDi
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GYMLQRfhe
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSFRRGUHih
"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."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I5vv15x4p
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt9JPhmDNN
"I wanted to but I kept 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB0vCXsfQh
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUw1hOHteA
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdY0A1cTyO
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbysSfj9On
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx82PpjvGr
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8wicS0zEV
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UvLCLcAjK
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3ycGSvuTd
I quickly stood up and 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ERskWgIwA
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUTEcmrlDr
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iw9Lh4n8h
her back.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3cTRaC6UP
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqx2nfUTZN
"Zoey, you're going to 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9tKX785X9
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoLGOG0WMD
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr1VVW9Ux0
own hair pink in the next ten years."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUe6j0P6CF
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHQnpvrVbP
"You're lying."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYEb8OtyCB
"I'm telling the truth!"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklJKl4havw
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIn11lSkEn
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4em123piZj
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLjWM0VKG1
"I can't tell you that."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYhzKi5LSN
"Why?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUBVWPShxg
"Because it's 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu2K7BU133
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaYWS3rcnA
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuHnIwCf3R
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30QZdrSnDo
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz4JybtTVV
"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."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJwTj71AqH
"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.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDo7qE5z5s
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TRJLNMt0Z
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXklBSWB8P
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX5Ir8rXa6
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIMZkchMFi
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uvvo9i8Bg
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUya8c0g5LH
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA9UvcSKDh
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14KLQShrRH
I playfully rolled my 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ANXRWGWJ
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHce3Qaf7c5
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaJpWYUBD8
also looked worried.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZizXZ9CJlm
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB2Woo0XWx
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN8OnGGBDR
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXpSg5SE5i
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4l5ULVxOu
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukHsziqBGm
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmAj5UE9XO
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX5BGoUKpG
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhvxAS8Chh
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ODO4RgwfY
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qGBhC49PG
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAevFpImeeF
"Okay, first of all," 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fm5fGloL9
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5LWuxZjIp
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWEjuMytJU
he wasn't mad at you."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEDLoR2lzi
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iaXT8z65L
"That, he couldn't say."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsAnobhRDm
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38tqYMxT29
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8gI2nc98p
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTznsMtZbU
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfkbVBtIm5
Christine pressed the 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4AeDpWiPo
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxK423M9WL
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy3sYIySvm
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m1RGbucE4
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04kK4d2Jrb
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn08krQ3AA7
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgazx2Sdz1
We got to YG right on 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YMp5Gh9Ei
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4666A6DQ0
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ763siXMtqt
arrived a few seconds earlier.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroNtzDn7bW
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mH9sYkGpB
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUPjqbhQq8
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK91rRfSKbv
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA3jHwKHtb
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfTSuF9SVn
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyuXUyWbEX
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOlWkNCAmq
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY1HhS4YO0
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tDGgA4Apv
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBe5MSaYOV
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxvzOFl42M
"There will be no such 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmqW0d4LKT
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMdk6L4vtN
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEzESwQOSN
"And you're making it 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDf8fuofRE
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlKQHnr4o6
pouted his lip and scratched his head.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26RMWdUZ2N
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5iPH1XDiL
"Trust me, you don't 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLDmJ39jl1
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxWwdhXuZc
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKONv7UUuvP
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxqT2ArA7w
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTaI1PzWMx
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5RbHGGPAP
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsiAKicoNi
"Look, whether they are 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aojuW5Omy
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRzhMv90j0
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGypOAaSSC
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLGUsZuzoy
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZqHxTgMd
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk915tcAgC
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiqR5NpT4M
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAyqlWzOQP
I gave Lee a sad smile 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRfiQTVCL6
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2w7eCpH3W
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSll9iERzRp
your life. Like suicide.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUes0DSdqeF
We started our way 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEheAB1QZna
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhSs7luQyW
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TkKD4oG6G
and my jean trousers. Nothing.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9dv8IxRu6
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaBXbZOATk
I quickly ran out of the956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABu2gsgmPJ
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJc1D2CZDP
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxMwSx0ZMF
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjacgVDIXw
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYeN3zuZ0O
check for it inside.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDk2RH4Z55
When I got to the 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRbWzIpfxO
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3dqOnF3Wf
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfYJUSSk82
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Cy1R7uCN
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡify7aUF7eY
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7SxCuK3rE
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN9404LvfM
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQIIfhkjU8
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dZZw0FP6G
"Seriously, I can sue 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUCziCZNaq
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AqYxOhMOR
fast. I never even heard him coming.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmLsCGMtiW
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZg9crnyBe
"You're not my bodyguard956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhGf3xuv0k
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQxTH5ApOh
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C04cd7rh0
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfePIkspXK
I blushed. "You know about that?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0fkpbyYkJ
"Everyone knows you have956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakhETSASrH
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYzdwBKkUm
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4av7jBJ1C1
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLniVGr4LzE
"Looks like I did the 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYz07HVAgl
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngYfnPxU2n
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt55xXBIPM
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwu0TIEO6F
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs116U1tnUQ
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwPmGHZXDM
"And because you're a 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc8tBQCleZ
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36FOGVGIVK
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPOzHseF89
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwuMml1vKV
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiqBeEoaME
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d3iiYcdjR
"Can you at least tell 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73GU2wdOZu
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EuOgAQtwA
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JUFvHWm8Q
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmOfyaQC7A
"What dramatic effect?" 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfImR9IHnP
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TsHBrphpS
came closer. I took a warning step back.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPKdDR7LQ7
"If you hadn't followed 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijJkDy0ViJ
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85ttLiGsH6
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sM98ZNCck
room."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1DKySs5Zn
"What surprise?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrDe0P05Qu
The elevator stopped and956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknDvpB2el2
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvUHWd2NWv
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsNihqbU96
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nIzqyrQ7g
Seunghoon and I stepped out.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TCB6gdLMr
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDpl36dULO
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJXI1kVcvX
"I already have a guess," I said.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdfxLFry62
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8g7cGjdNM
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3mhEuWFIa
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi8ZAZcXxA
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F3xEk8iFM
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghdDw5oeRa
When we reached the 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ihsIBmWbN
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrsyJa1XVO
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMa3Tbvw8C
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH9yY9ZFYb
In the conference room 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtU3y2Qt53
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ972GX4LQDW
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlWjVH7TK3
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ3lYasnrQ
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovFp68ErgB
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgD3cAxZZS
though I did my best not to show it.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHSmsbUOeS
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93PeZWOTJg
I looked to the opposite956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iLTnCaGSV
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF9cWmm0sP
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnG6lhpqE4
turned their backs to us facing the wall.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1cxfH17jz
"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."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH3oRU2rEb
G-Dragon quickly turned 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjo6f1CsD5
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzW7MuoyBG
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcMkKkRr4a
"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?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZhHM6cSv7
"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.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHFBjTnUlx
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcW0ibBMMN
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6zdrMZVm8
"Wait," said Lisa who 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlqLItjhxH
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI4Ue5HI2t
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GTXSyVwnB
"It felt simple and 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6dSv8pB6y
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWdPZgFCOI
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO1GERf4uY
with G-Dragon today."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8hTTQcrf8
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX7zygUjLp
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTWe0BCSQr
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52XCn0PfSe
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyOUclwW1q
"Ya, I know I'm a 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3AXahQcar
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk92VNNxi2u
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97PSLfFXfo
"If you mean us getting 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAn6V7oCHZ
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeOTAMjfLJ
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO92klYImab
by coincidence."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzTWjsAkO4
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wZPKfnDpA
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI64ukJdZis
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajB6kosMfW
The rest of the BTW crew956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V7NoA5308
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mbH2yh8Mp
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75CZeZEpGf
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MZBmgLFpr
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbbjwyVsSP
"Hold up," said Zoey who956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5OVzjcREn
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagSSrHYbOQ
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3BjyMGmUb
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5rSyCg9RD
"Told you we'll 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsor5YCfAU
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOczV3xC0g
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ568xLrDIMz
"But is he going to do 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n8aoGsbFX
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6b3aiEMep
didn't really meet by coincidence."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvShr8D2uW
There was silence in the956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI6iJ2wLf6
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy7KL58Wr9
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlJ6wG9zuj
planning to do.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp3M3tjCTb
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qkrvlSa6t
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7IdFx5yFy
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduFZRpLaZ8
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJCRy2WbhH
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJP0gsEdQv
"And also because he's 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi76c6YJtgt
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaOnWr3mKc
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dhEPmkkhp
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVd5Uf4c1K
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzZISGdrvt
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ174NNI65rj
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQmk3oIopU
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk4UXjXecU
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZYqIQ0659
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmdokSLsY7
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4FlZDkbwd
G-Dragon smiled. He had 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7FnoNTRFM
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ6CPRdWvS
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUzvVRvuPh
deal with G-Dragon instead.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYl3SojvxD
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgDAXeuC6a
"What do you want?" I asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0EqDZDPco
G-Dragon looked at me as956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHfgwovMvB
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlNJiuXntI
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm6nwZa60V
came to any conclusions.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMpyHb1L0d
"To make things clear 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOeLmq5OQE
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFY0uc8QEj
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9uh1TUOiL
thinking about doing the same thing."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TMFnsjfSR
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNLuRDjbhi
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYB2g0pJk7
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwZdDv5Bmy
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEHH32k4oK
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWrfGKgsTO
"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."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInp0Fj9thO
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVo0j3yhlz
"All's fair in love and 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtzoTQP7HS
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc9TqsaNuz
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B3Rs7RW0Z
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm2cObWzAw
"Come on," Christine 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MMnjnxWpF
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvU7Ry5xwf
won't be here for long and you know it."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLuoB597fz
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07fV56Vhc1
"BTW is nothing but a 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcCiTcYT4t
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVCfG0y50e
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe45xCtXVkN
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnPTOtOV4C
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3ivGaIAA0
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc9hboSFEV
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB3VkGwj4j
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2VgiNOThG
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDpHhMVFC4
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNEPujr8jK
"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.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILeHDMgsaA
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQkrJwEwLi
Upon saying that, the 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAeH1aB0yL
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ObOu3rPpp
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtvn3bFX7u
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfWOPopokb
seated stood up.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWCWXFg18a
I gulped. I hope the 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUpYpgUXzT
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BUTMdlxS2
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkCIvpCyck
The two managers had 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZQUdpFzQA
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAtz9K7WRR
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9esTfGC2tv
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKwieYM61v
is wrong.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftyqcloOFw
"Good that you're all 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkGCI86WP7
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GGbvSlSyi
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oZ99Q8ou2
I have always hated it 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CWRIpN9Lw
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxlBxp5Gkt
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WqirHyw1g
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdd4klmhe2
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtslGvpNg3
their seats.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhl33r8lo2
The two managers and Lee956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFPIrFsIMI
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP0bAuFGqx
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDk2wynkG7
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRSYPcuaPB
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvAIeeP4YZ
was.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKVzQPqCbn
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdTSKGjxR8
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrIImIxGNb
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIInslHDhz
Zoey sighed loudly in 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ4hIz19tK
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRBxvM0Ugw
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67PJvOSzJj
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW7T3S7R6m
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOal7MIR9m
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToN6hWGiMy
The two managers 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1SG8jne5N
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96UnoURpb0
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG1HoS53hx
That was so not cool.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNycgLtbtj
"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."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeP8DYxNTM
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF7HAiWWjR
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPXYpPAAaL
My ears perked up when 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qWkgIwyB9
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV91b4pi8IP
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QtoJYiLGO
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaRQXAD1w0
"We heard you outside 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTQywPlGI0
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39opGCUV6f
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0ph0GUrPR
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckhXR6hStJ
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrLKCrrX9W
"Yes, Sam. For real," 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfJjVXDD5u
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeUaYwAfUl
through further scrutiny about this decision."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFW8k5vWqI
I smiled. Even if they 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7gISBRxCj
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthzzt6TAwL
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUZL1WKLPm
There was an exciting 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkhkzJaHcF
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGpSQ26IKa
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMOPP7iupB
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTRb9wMgsP
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTXb6LWqGP
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa5tOW4ujz
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYu4fMDxGO
I turned to my other 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQtrSQeNsn
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdUSeHtBjD
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6hj8hzaWP
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfMjoBFGQ6
now, didn't matter.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSeosYg80n
"You heard them when 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LAo0802OZ
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeVJyNrzXU
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbzIjojqn1
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRmpIsLzoM
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxOcdEFLry
"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.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8vo5UsGwz
This time it was me, or I956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbNLng0e4c
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFPFtvGHoE
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6KBOnZLGa
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd9wubVsUb
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3ziszF21x
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVUe99R4sS
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Td0Lwwzta
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLXNEnkjsz
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYtl5lphKX
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBasuMCAZn
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Qsmp2sx1
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7xIBifJI3
"We all agree," said Daniel.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHYyD7cvax
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy41bBJbI7h
"But just because it 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXcPdnEaDd
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqyyPBjkYh
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFroAVnZK1X
"Okay, so that's settled956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXykoDWvuX
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4Qy1HfRsT
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYAaYaye65
BTW official."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyZeoFsrim
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDzVWRzhSd
I noticed that most of 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieRRyajLcR
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuCUUMd3lZ
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscdRBWSz6J
when she looked at me and I grinned.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUQy4gz0Q5
"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."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxpgmldwc0
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlusD4HY9Ee
"Before we make BTW 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OD8jR5bvc
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgFeBOD1GG
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzPdr4eDum
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wi0G1k4Nc
low for a while. Is that good?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCscGg0PZ7
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAHJrOwCHs
"That's fair enough," 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0FNiZ95xF
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jkguhIJ4k
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXoZC79dIj
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU3GsmVrMu
so."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfkOEaQsCS
"So you want to crush 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDk5SAzPuu
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxoyZtAqrK
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLedLfiW7Bw
strategy."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpoUED3vz0
"Then if all is well and956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK1EpciTBw
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVBv2SdXLF
updated and not a word on social media."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnF78WvUUT
I stood up from my seat 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNjGKLh8f4
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea1ViZhAdo
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstIAWF4QA8
walk out, I stopped them.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcGuD3b83n
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvbHMEnNAs
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJdL0IhQw4
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6hQErUbMV
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXrm8kusGm
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdg1ePkSFs
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxo6gbM90P
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFGNr0imTU
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW5Qoj6uja
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDv1hOWq2t
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hqyIH6b2D
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVRRq1dcpK
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnoczyAZfz
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMtrGSzVE3
"This is like the best 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAF3f8JsgZ
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPjcYjQEYV
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG0pIgifaz
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvGu4i3rGt
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnekl4AitOQ
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2h4MgjIK7
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ej02KYjRw
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOWvVdoJI7
"I knew there was a 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkShzMUmTh
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86P62zdYlW
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEtCK2OsCu
G-Dragon.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbFiVReCxj
"You knew?" Christine asked.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpUjYEM6Xv
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbY4rEhOjR
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlvqQkqwhX
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaomVXbxe1t
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5ugwKbB5T
"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.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRZ0bFwJP6
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtClurS3NJ
"Well, you guys can tell956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqfAiGYNry
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1FCxrWxAG
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKRkLPA89h
aren't going to go into the same car."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAjN461imm
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bRiUVWP9u
Everyone else started to956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof1FpGtSFn
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7YzstPmZx
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7jbHEGubX
only G-Dragon and I.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaTw35CQya
"I'm mad at you," I started.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClQfkgfCSM
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOMUnDR559
"Save it." I held my 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxsPeEoyV1
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2IBygWNHi
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK6MNcYlWn
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ766gmLfgJJ
a war again."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD1MvtuKGx
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB8m4kmb6U
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucbkEV7a0k
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x3eHMJ5v1
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtkWvDNxtT
G-Dragon looked at me 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSpG9ZsROE
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09l44J5JUD
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPZALUM7bR
stab in the heart.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW7rAYwiQl
"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."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxtPLArsow
"You know, the others 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpzlA90V4R
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo0kcxjZZ7
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYFmXLDrTp
with WINNER yesterday."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF4X0OpRcQ
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLNqPYCJwf
I nodded my head. What I956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtououJV0U1
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv9pwEBxxf
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2tjuJcxy5
of Seunghoon and I.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJW32zsPUa
"You know you and I can 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXfJAWx77Z
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjGUlWKuwY
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRXasamMFk
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6GGLwYRzO
down the rocks."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiEfIFykR3
I headed for the door 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCamwGbQaJ
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zJnOfneEz
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTo29zkcTJ
Zoey, waiting.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5RrbGqG8m
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IwtNWccw0
"I sure hope so," I said956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIrU7DUUkM
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3bsYur66U
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYAKjUdQpi
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnLYKAvytQ
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewTvOfxCnc
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iL1jtgd46
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpZYoysQDw
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6d510FPE4
"You know computers are 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgq6LZpsh0
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9hqnk5HZU
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolG3v7zKV0
supposed to."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCsBhlW4Vp
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvXWtHksgQ
I smiled. "You always call me that."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhxZJjic9t
"Ya, because you're smart too."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78QPWQqz0H
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi1I1jEGQB
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjty6R8H2p
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZbsR8TiXq
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMAlWF4o3g
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WANafrxqZ
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
