Hanging out at Times 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T4J7OX2QK
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqosbi90nSJ
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTyPhepYLV
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwGQuA5S01
But that didn't matter. 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwTrCKxH1Y
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSh27IOapq
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeosctfBnT
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp3DvoQdN7
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbWec0EQOm
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yIVAKjRHj
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPylOB7ZCPR
actually played around with the adorable kids.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HqJd6fSpn
There were plenty of 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwiNUbnVuz
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtAWGyCQuM
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFM8Kp2ck5
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22aDYAXqVu
fans too.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlDhp7LY1c
The time we were done 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zLe5vJ3en
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfylx9upUO
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28LKQROtsL
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf69PaFbi6
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4FpTyZKm7
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bn5iL0Kfm
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLGGIXprCV
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX7DRVtJ1E
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFoHcB7jdY
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMtriyXpAL
previous day, of course.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMXaYDkEje
As much as the managers 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTtYQSUhk0
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXusZajDCg
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bw2rExIVm
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRLAheHLKt
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnkQyIxyIy
Right now, this very 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lRGbUEUSD
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB7Of6diNl
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gk6AdKnSE
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawwWaB5C8i
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIY4E2yJVl
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgOtGko8Cv
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxbkBOShSX
and I just couldn't take it.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5loTO45UO
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd4MlzUa3S
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7SyjhlvYK
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5telEXMCy
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GyHAWsUcd
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW97SSuQjy
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxht4k1kfb
"I thought you said your plan would work."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqcGKpR9fT
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamS95b2aDo
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbqecVzEs1
I felt like slapping my 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22fJntnuUM
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pEskPFBMe
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYH7uPdXce
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlJkpZfdZT
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTInN9X0sD
off.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM4FNnxSf6
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKh6kNypbb
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy3c3haJu7
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkdSwABwpL
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlryJ2EUa6
I shrugged. She read my 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUqlbqfA2P
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1gkrbvOg6
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs0jcrBSfZ
me the whole time."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo63Sf3xNyb
I sat down on my bed as 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaut4oQ5AC
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEuHzOPpU1
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1C0sZ3N86
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1frTjm3Zi3
"Gosh, you really should1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI40XvwvBfL
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLf2PWU6tt
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodMn0mxwAY
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtngUXnK6CM
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLJWxq3Sm4
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3vTB8Fkrr
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViG4oqP9e9
"Mike is annoying 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKijVFemH7
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvfK9CGz1y
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlg8QnpxCb
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTYS5PIavL
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KVXiHXn3X
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz6JNUG0fb
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCP2xsCmp8
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZlW03YLCl
"Sorry, but just so you 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwptLWPoDz
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5uH2BuNpi
that pic of you and him together."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYdUVlj79e
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNKP8pp6vj
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqRZBKFe8P
I blushed and at the 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WUwtpnVog
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWkZXcdJjz
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbNZoNfNFY
other hidden agenda.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LHWsZpaW2
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBoxk9JWQi
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNjwCzu7N6
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjsZ2RxDwv
I sighed in surrender. 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ohfJcO9s1
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPs33DiTpC
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fBoohE9ab
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25GT3k4zgN
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."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9jN0D0tDr
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpQgtdJbYq
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAGDVmfpIt
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHFY8y67Ev
Zoey had an excited look1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHND9lxvnH4
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIOMZsun5L
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisEtxKPf92
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVFgDunaIu
clearly show all over her face.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC6aWGWhDR
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcFswQW1QJ
I shook my head. "And?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CIicRRJnt
Zoey folded her arms, 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0YYPPGflB
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80ztEVyLvr
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceIOlwIAEW
"Hold that thought. This1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFyaNFXCUX
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3jgn8SF9u
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLbduga0XY
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdo0xYekft
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0323smYpN2
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzukGEJRTZD
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qFb7tUPID
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNxJ2wkUZA
"Well, he hid in our closet."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKpGEylg6u
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFLIs8iLQD
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbdXAWDXPa
"Ya, why?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MRK9hJM6d
"Looks like we just 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFHAJHLph3
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCpAbaRN5b
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepSibKR1q8
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."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g7TMUPq6C
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof5ZqFfruT
"What do you mean? You 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXgtiuv8Vm
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOq8qI15nP
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOlsH2KcPi
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tXpeGiSDV
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYWnPYAYKI
"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."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjk8t3sKDM
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6bFH4EwYQ
"I wanted to but I kept 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82SxPujqeQ
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtadGM1R7Nx
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRLoQXBVDd
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pTX8ul2YQ
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8pKvDsQQ8
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5SOZVQHlI
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhKS10ASoS
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZJOExeQnj
I quickly stood up and 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpxtM2luUF
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67bw4Ea3Ym
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzzF23YxZX
her back.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFCsU7zvgI
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLoqGrPh1e
"Zoey, you're going to 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF1rq607X6
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5U1NHPuo7
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55saauQNO6
own hair pink in the next ten years."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHid1Oa3HQH
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUB5VE7D9s
"You're lying."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyckAL6sxK8
"I'm telling the truth!"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVb2BgP4lk
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwo8QLdgso
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSafLS7mNv
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl2Nvvfl8Q
"I can't tell you that."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoNey8TM8H
"Why?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf63req4rh
"Because it's 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmOPaz5UYr
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKiyhp8wI7
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpsWkDZezn
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBeVToo6j8
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEzg2H2Utb
"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."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnYJzAHlO1
"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.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8gZXnGtOH
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHXyoWNKb5
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk80iX4xKk7
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiBb3PPZwQ
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaimcI0nw1
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVKNrHJDCT
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBhaSeTU7j
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnHAk5Nk0R
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPNUL4lklD
I playfully rolled my 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSosYKpo69
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ855Z1tWLCo
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh1gmDISkS
also looked worried.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJAj3EhEPc
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nUXhKhkMI
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEuqdnPcCv
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdvGAIbEDJ
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ290BelBBtQ
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTHNNoomje
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAytlNUA4Ws
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwiA4kYJ3o
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxto5QHnF87
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY84VMn5hdc
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19xzXsrhnC
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06mnF9mi2D
"Okay, first of all," 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPc5K3hNgI
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUIvKKwNd5
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfZ4wWDgMx
he wasn't mad at you."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx6vmMF8ej
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctKD0Hc40w
"That, he couldn't say."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzbxfmweDt
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfOI3Em4JM
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYg7uuX1y0
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzHVBiLJ8v
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHw3Arml2g
Christine pressed the 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCWBw1v2wF
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12MzjLnypT
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLXiRl670I
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Iu1gF3dF
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA3yl82zFp
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptAc3Iefni
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswWPDfoWS4
We got to YG right on 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYTsx9TiZT
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXYMNSLTG3
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFxuGAQbwQ
arrived a few seconds earlier.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKo9ErNLQJ
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteMSgCohrd
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ068eOsgWtu
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ze0ZXdCVV
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnYCjKkF8o
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzCzmWZEhO
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1nLFg9Jnp
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpqBb0EHJj
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjnzseErAu
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkcjJMawq6
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhQ1nJoY9q
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIaXmlHqPw
"There will be no such 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sKnYbRWCD
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4GxceMM7o
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7uF5hz83O
"And you're making it 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSpdZBvw17
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmdAjulqO2
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlPFfBbSZe
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYUBcxo13o
"Trust me, you don't 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61yY5RqKYk
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K5q0p5sFA
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvU1HxkHL9
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmJmeN2kc5
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIrf2lMnSC
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpizVssVNEz
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnesBC8N87
"Look, whether they are 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVmijw7l77
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LZCIhWk5Y
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi09T09AS5
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXRpUCAiUe
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI61NdSEuj
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvVKC1TF3o
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhd7x38pQQ
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JvJeEBUd8
I gave Lee a sad smile 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDjxP6FYbq
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDfArLUlv7
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y1NWlfnjv
your life. Like suicide.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4filvrOcn
We started our way 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF9XDe5SRY
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72reC9SaeX
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6jtSbAkqv
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwCqsCa7J5
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmJkUoFQp2
I quickly ran out of the1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ2EhDfpSe
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b74Wq6WHE
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR4LDKs5wr
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuFeqvcjY1
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9jrVuz6O9
check for it inside.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCjKa87siN
When I got to the 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tAZGuKZXg
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJib8YsLjlG
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSRLR80Rmo
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpMGkNvhey
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOZ5zrBwuk
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynED1o4NfO
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29PKk73eRK
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnOKUuvjZ2
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJLQP30Pkb
"Seriously, I can sue 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1TrHVGA9W
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Nk7VWdbg
fast. I never even heard him coming.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHHiBXyryM
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq28To6du9V
"You're not my bodyguard1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lyyAzj8tp
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCuuP7THeM
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8rMkgQqLJ
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8BL8U84aP
I blushed. "You know about that?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI9uyuXws3
"Everyone knows you have1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR0B7hW6aX
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeyBLzvPzm
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew8rTmUaUp
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDBGmhDzfX
"Looks like I did the 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0GS7FIhxi
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OTKIdL7Dz
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcz00b5Edw
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkkuWBJZOc
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX44m9ZLoOf
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfjVhPNjse
"And because you're a 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9BWtNsUht
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyDrL1njIo
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhm8xV8pNw
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiszYXoRnR9
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEiZo8mK7f
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4RuimTijT
"Can you at least tell 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K0AAyjUpx
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRX9leudIF
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEz6vUWZcq
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjFoanQ1AQ
"What dramatic effect?" 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKxdLrVpau
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlsWLt2ncT
came closer. I took a warning step back.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lFTWlCaBp
"If you hadn't followed 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3lLsFpytb
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkpiQRGc2d
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLwFnYurVh
room."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PA29mX60k
"What surprise?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRa55pgDhl
The elevator stopped and1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x97nA6bXY
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uM7eU4AFh
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6Bt8jF3xN
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfJ00IE7uw
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQppJ8gEpT
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpx55UaNum
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB06s1IZbN
"I already have a guess," I said.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGpOwGy1oO
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnouS8H7Mo
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP51Jr3R61
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIdONydUGb
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2WhYCIEfh
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2gaqqBQR0
When we reached the 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCQYNHDVGs
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0NNy1Xdak
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzL0JdEIgd
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XDgKfE61M
In the conference room 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDtcaZHqis
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9sgFrYDpa
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J1fnZn109
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxwpVTCeRx
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7j1ooC8gS
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fTHxeIxz6
though I did my best not to show it.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXBXVKsAMD
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4qGchEhD9
I looked to the opposite1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIVMKHQeSh
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJIICQo1FD
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4clV4lvpL
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1kS09N6lm
"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."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXSkRTDKtQ
G-Dragon quickly turned 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QOuyOcWjz
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU1GOlC3ID
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtskWrZf7jJ
"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?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDppElK9ea
"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.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjqtqOrs9r
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxUSHwhT9p
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W7dXAvJD5
"Wait," said Lisa who 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf4wrr3Fwz
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbGP2hfZvo
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcig9bmkYYb
"It felt simple and 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30IDyaQg7P
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9OydVCw5Q
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMS5Q9ePNb
with G-Dragon today."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGRv904kdE
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLSTp10o4v
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnow83YoVr
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw58kmTMus
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydhOH3GNiK
"Ya, I know I'm a 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDFvyrgU5O
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpts2vLEWKl
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2gNExBI8L
"If you mean us getting 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFxzVtH2Nd
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUbh5MoHZ9
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrC7Gy4kdW
by coincidence."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeavkFpeNT
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QbwUKXJGF
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztxEryoym5
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtUUEdCBFj
The rest of the BTW crew1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwBq3euKcO
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmXoMJlD5G
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGo1vvDAQM
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq1y6DBv3c
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmRZtE26cY
"Hold up," said Zoey who1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jwwkFfc8w
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGMWsXYCnf
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf9Rbkn1hZ
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKXkR3Pnnp
"Told you we'll 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3jsF6C2Sh
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGAZX9rZRe
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HF8uTWRSv
"But is he going to do 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt7aREBRuq
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKumh1RyD5
didn't really meet by coincidence."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkETGFBEfkw
There was silence in the1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4TpwZoW25
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KvZiyyu3N
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaERUaJ0YHo
planning to do.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkKR8gKd7O
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVq4LUglgr
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ruah1935h
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e7iTl6KuQ
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT0vlL9jJe
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxxuCeSsZi
"And also because he's 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbnTCXfp2c
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYDL3Bg6Sk
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkL3aNI8z0
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMkLPXV1m4
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNFuJOYCK7
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BVdkQMlCe
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkOHValwEv
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt6Ul6z6Tp
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdoeYCi74Q
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPZXBPbwth
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡravoBsL1tq
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJywwbqDGe
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2piPxlogO
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtrDDNC9sK
deal with G-Dragon instead.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6i8wnbQwm
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFrNI9CNGO
"What do you want?" I asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RrmKDVcJ8
G-Dragon looked at me as1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj4HhfwgkP
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefQS3w8Gas
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM700tK4Z7
came to any conclusions.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpvbKj2hmR
"To make things clear 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1hz2s85SB
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoekD8FMli5
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbFHEt8xLP
thinking about doing the same thing."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz6awc2BV1
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHci7uW6Ror
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3t0I5PiX2
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxZyBo39TT
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB8I3d084w
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFIkSbI0HZ
"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."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCYm9aTrfx
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k6IffPHEk
"All's fair in love and 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBgn3CaHBN
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEdHDkCpPP
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohxApuFrl9
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSd23D7lTg
"Come on," Christine 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWTIiDlV12
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt4AxbZmqq
won't be here for long and you know it."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuPy7coqhv
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9oi9gdgG2
"BTW is nothing but a 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9pGihxTcr
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS09mj3XQ4a
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdrAz47WvU
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyMkJD5ABG
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixqTC656e0
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eZe2dHUEZ
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CC9sWA4VB
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdCkxZGXoi
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIMgscWuEQ
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7p2WtLXMS
"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.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPciGLEqJN
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXe3luT67p
Upon saying that, the 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aiij5ZM9K
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0wvUeOHmc
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtBTFyr4fO
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGtOXU9qMb
seated stood up.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxx4GA2fXr
I gulped. I hope the 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9EW5xaMoN
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwk7leSdn1
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0FRgcSyRR
The two managers had 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1wqra9wlN
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XqH5iAoIG
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvGfpqASsf
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljtYZoZ2o3
is wrong.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9kQyg3pEz
"Good that you're all 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJNPTR7eXL
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszsfJXJF4z
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0TYqiEyPf
I have always hated it 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdisFzlZiUt
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxXnAwitPI
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr7OcCRa6Y
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMdNUATXxo
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkstNZon9V0
their seats.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbUuB0dvFw
The two managers and Lee1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQqNiaCZwf
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2upuJWjNod
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hFi9bFwba
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm3x0CAKrC
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB2FBdRUxH
was.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemQERtcLUA
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldpQG7gb0U
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iZYBPxrq1
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf85sXNtUi
Zoey sighed loudly in 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEOwK9mjuH
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoGANVj7GB
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOI6zfJm09
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwO3BoRIt9
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6SEf9B1cY
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL70fPGZe1
The two managers 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXa2tNVJvn
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIBlSzI2Ve
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpwoWRWBt7
That was so not cool.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAmVBYdcgX
"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."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7LjtrB5M9
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74EL2HySwA
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzdkVmZG9e
My ears perked up when 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DvQUJIwOG
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfJud5ekuL
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ1GmDZAWG
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlegsV97Be
"We heard you outside 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQf3kED9w4
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyarWfU9gft
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GMlGiuOpN
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQaqZUB9BR
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FqFIHYqIT
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BPsEmBlYb
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7cqHddY2K
through further scrutiny about this decision."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlhBNQJI5u
I smiled. Even if they 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl3ujC5UTU
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsd3netT1m
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMSwcpM4pG
There was an exciting 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWiBoYGLtq
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcPGPgAd3Z
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EfWiUaARD
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgHDPzxQYG
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLSf43cGuJ
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccRGfTxASI
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplQKEm3apO
I turned to my other 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡongBJmEDJu
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPFNzQBNhv
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyt9JCrNOc
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPQDSZYpSF
now, didn't matter.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY31VxPz8uF
"You heard them when 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y5dF5ge1q
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRnR6OJCe9
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gAmp4g2cd
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VLXSAML8Z
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a8hJkyghX
"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.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HiM4Q2dQ7
This time it was me, or I1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkmA7po17e
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj8oBDUl9a
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapyOVa6YY2
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSRI0eXe12
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1hNF8URta
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI89Db2jlzZ
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IA9SEbGrq
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJbHnnYQHN
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDj5OxL5cH
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l6y3n3KLo
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWldZXIzHH
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCW5pFdS1n
"We all agree," said Daniel.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92hqwp2KCP
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSWOWr6JmJ
"But just because it 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvMk04QPI1
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsX2aktaxV
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKPbLi4nc0
"Okay, so that's settled1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk4qKtOyE1
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgFV5y6Ua7
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6keMrtGhX
BTW official."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPSCtonnO6
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrTYbiFplX
I noticed that most of 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGdhJYbxEX
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PkD1QgSMr
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNKaLERnlW
when she looked at me and I grinned.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3lRRQMveN
"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."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrS7lzS2hw
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBAjZqRJjs
"Before we make BTW 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStGXEkmRA9
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvH0ZiP6Jj
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYK97KIiB5
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOuoaRxqGe
low for a while. Is that good?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RrDzWPYBq
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIYUr0wHJG
"That's fair enough," 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r3BGKpKiY
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZNnJU09Ro
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ755ey4Dt2E
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefYRh7lALw
so."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm6w8dxANb
"So you want to crush 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gu43YHDvN
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HVQg8zlTk
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj8sywSjur
strategy."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp75WOqTDzM
"Then if all is well and1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV631P4MLQj
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZHtcUL8cX
updated and not a word on social media."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR97OEqs2S
I stood up from my seat 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5lnQGxGS7
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEdFeynB25
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcdQrBS1Qq
walk out, I stopped them.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuJ3UYK1KF
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab9eHNs28N
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzj29vCzCr
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwTKBwlPRr
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF2SGPThph
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjZxUQu2YQ
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI093tYWdF
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif9vx5eanq
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWAu8Y0Fe0
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz8n1nFvao
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRa4iSWnxg
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9t3RK5GNR
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydpBK92sU5
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9myzXOx6Rg
"This is like the best 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvAwVELiyZ
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD0ODwB7Ti
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNzE1hqzpY
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrsqy9yThv
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWWwuMSVG2
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ087LfUg4W9
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaIoFAvLJx
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu4Zzfj9DG
"I knew there was a 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1VhEiaGbE
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05WTn6GPMP
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyFRFZ4q6G
G-Dragon.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChXuV73JZU
"You knew?" Christine asked.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VJIRsvLmX
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s8gmHpdUL
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12R0EC7of2
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUug0tcT3W
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8eOBAgcL8
"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.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXWYyg9vp6
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgB0cUh5lV
"Well, you guys can tell1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo7VDytk98
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnOQZL37I0
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYWHWyq5BN
aren't going to go into the same car."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI1QZQmWy0
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW8DRZ7FsU
Everyone else started to1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70cSrE6LM9
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYjjV9mWVi
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQTukAOqIz
only G-Dragon and I.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04CAYlEgtH
"I'm mad at you," I started.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSy9JCylaF
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERenl4oWnC
"Save it." I held my 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx0MvxyDrx
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDDTPphHoK
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XodRXVcch
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfwDGLpmmz
a war again."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwchr9OSRk0
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uLkjrtjOP
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNOt9xDdbV
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhYDIpdsOQ
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU569sHVNs
G-Dragon looked at me 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R8JQrW9v2
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcvkcA7cw6
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucNgphfJy4
stab in the heart.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE30T4tIxJy
"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."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OuvGOWOSx
"You know, the others 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZnzPizQxA
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjun4cdSzD
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrSEyVL7wa
with WINNER yesterday."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdMEomymsw
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz1EPmBE2U
I nodded my head. What I1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b1tx2khg2
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybHMN0ySgt
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUc2x5jnQx
of Seunghoon and I.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphCxAfUQ6Z
"You know you and I can 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdzOtD8j9I
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGidX0XxhTr
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFK67A44n9
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyeYbf9P69
down the rocks."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD7SwUEonS
I headed for the door 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vpgd5AN92
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd2GF9h22c
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56oFjdmEGc
Zoey, waiting.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZgNG1WWSJ
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlEwQqL2Yv
"I sure hope so," I said1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8dG9Cxyqg
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aIxsqSD1v
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvhQhDAJiu
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkKzXRH7NZ
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrKvr9pw04
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAbTOxAQmC
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrLmNEda8v
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdUXhZnntJ
"You know computers are 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiT26C4oNj
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMOxElswMC
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Lu6Wu5Ba
supposed to."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIISJGR06y
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE4zivFprc
I smiled. "You always call me that."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm7LA9PonI
"Ya, because you're smart too."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkwvQ0sZ42
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo8R6MBusH
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqXLEy8U9H
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetmQ3TTC7f
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ttVAEwTem
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTuMDpwl9U
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
