Lee's P.O.V702Please respect copyright.PENANAnfV98VdMam
I was so tired as I sat 702Please respect copyright.PENANAVDfjJaiOEs
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 702Please respect copyright.PENANAN527WFgNwe
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 702Please respect copyright.PENANA9KEIoFKzWV
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAwalAFYXDrR
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAP671UbE4g5
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.702Please respect copyright.PENANA44uhwupGlO
The past two days have 702Please respect copyright.PENANAzxWhcETpuK
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 702Please respect copyright.PENANApdnRI5eAjT
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 702Please respect copyright.PENANALGSPiobNVT
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being702Please respect copyright.PENANAUCApiaiiG0
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 702Please respect copyright.PENANApayISjLoYr
complain.702Please respect copyright.PENANArolvZx29bG
Why should I complain? 702Please respect copyright.PENANAuoFT0g9VnQ
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when702Please respect copyright.PENANAAyUkqWPmKr
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 702Please respect copyright.PENANArQ6qN2B0yy
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.702Please respect copyright.PENANAcaRbqKBZ1W
I really love my job. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAuUuOMWZW2p
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.702Please respect copyright.PENANAEmS8a6E6pr
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 702Please respect copyright.PENANAHMi0fzAVtj
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.702Please respect copyright.PENANAcDZknSmGrn
Collins is strict and 702Please respect copyright.PENANAeTwCgkvAus
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAWFuzXuNOgN
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 702Please respect copyright.PENANADdKuWWnT4U
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only702Please respect copyright.PENANAYdQtvQdlcm
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set702Please respect copyright.PENANAvcX63NHOO6
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 702Please respect copyright.PENANAqthLtyGpbl
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends702Please respect copyright.PENANAoHd9B73fJP
over the years.702Please respect copyright.PENANACHIj3EwIqu
And another reason I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAjapc46ilCA
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected702Please respect copyright.PENANAT2exdKfdPZ
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 702Please respect copyright.PENANAxeV1VBI3vD
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 702Please respect copyright.PENANAF9Be5TuCo9
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 702Please respect copyright.PENANAWJlXPDFRwH
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 702Please respect copyright.PENANAWKjvYWH6Fw
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 702Please respect copyright.PENANArcmhxSBC2D
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 702Please respect copyright.PENANACtVreZvYXj
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's702Please respect copyright.PENANAMwg2CdrmEA
how they have managed to make it this far.702Please respect copyright.PENANALe7BzmsqUK
As I remained seated and702Please respect copyright.PENANAWtPcuJLD9K
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much702Please respect copyright.PENANAehUJmnvf2J
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 702Please respect copyright.PENANABRUhRTQvvt
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 702Please respect copyright.PENANAeicQ6UpEom
like that at all.702Please respect copyright.PENANAq00D4hxUwk
Not that I'm acting like702Please respect copyright.PENANAwXIcqRQbnj
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 702Please respect copyright.PENANAolgdH0DO94
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 702Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3DWjes57C
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 702Please respect copyright.PENANAIQEUIrT7Fg
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to702Please respect copyright.PENANADDiSQnGGJ1
help in any way I can.702Please respect copyright.PENANA0GYD5yPomL
I looked at the time on 702Please respect copyright.PENANAG7Oz2HESRq
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 702Please respect copyright.PENANAN3ghtEM1u1
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.702Please respect copyright.PENANAQqTes0szRk
I quickly grabbed my 702Please respect copyright.PENANAjycBtaNrt7
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 702Please respect copyright.PENANAgWGM9Fhrwi
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.702Please respect copyright.PENANAJPdEW3K4Vd
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.702Please respect copyright.PENANAkEULO6w3jG
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."702Please respect copyright.PENANAxOu1k4naHn
"Ya, we're done with practise."702Please respect copyright.PENANARpTfmZEc5D
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.702Please respect copyright.PENANAIQYuYuRsVv
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAtkAHzYrNr3
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."702Please respect copyright.PENANA3LsHWZqJPU
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAgAQny3e2DZ
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."702Please respect copyright.PENANAvce0yMkbWt
Whatever ounce of 702Please respect copyright.PENANAPfoBqLOb5t
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 702Please respect copyright.PENANA6eeHFasJV5
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously702Please respect copyright.PENANA9gTvHxUIVz
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.702Please respect copyright.PENANAvevFgxjiy3
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.702Please respect copyright.PENANADN10y9Dhcj
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."702Please respect copyright.PENANA7wOVraUsat
I sighed as I leaned back on my chair again. "I guess if you're with TOP it's fine. But you should've informed me first."702Please respect copyright.PENANArVCvEdDgva
"Is Collins with you?"702Please respect copyright.PENANARvbqGXhvZW
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."702Please respect copyright.PENANAfptBGG7CEZ
"Good. I've something else to tell you."702Please respect copyright.PENANAPX6xUuSS3H
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAJyMqCBLrb7
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."702Please respect copyright.PENANAUDj5HAoV6z
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."702Please respect copyright.PENANAJiRYhGZsxH
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."702Please respect copyright.PENANAzsxmbVtV0K
"Tell me then," I insisted.702Please respect copyright.PENANAZaScou9Zhm
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."702Please respect copyright.PENANAH2BgaGthvw
"Did you and TOP kiss?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA6zxaLBcddA
"What! No! No way!"702Please respect copyright.PENANAASoztZhm0L
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."702Please respect copyright.PENANA16NaT1xMZO
"What makes you think that?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAC8TF3vZ0JI
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."702Please respect copyright.PENANAcXVQlx5XIw
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."702Please respect copyright.PENANAJnrjtJcJUV
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA57J5nq5SLr
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.702Please respect copyright.PENANARdeXyxck5A
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."702Please respect copyright.PENANAs7B1D6joHU
"Try me, Sam. I've been 702Please respect copyright.PENANAeAOxWU8wj7
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 702Please respect copyright.PENANA8MxJCLrMK0
on that I won't be surprised this time around."702Please respect copyright.PENANAFxupAFLOnU
"No, Lee, this time it's different."702Please respect copyright.PENANAshUtMNCLrj
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."702Please respect copyright.PENANAtazhZ0iAIe
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."702Please respect copyright.PENANAajPZoAb2EV
Before Sam could say 702Please respect copyright.PENANAs9U2MTB6yJ
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 702Please respect copyright.PENANAwT0FsqgrYu
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 702Please respect copyright.PENANABVT6KWuyxi
quickly realised that it wasn't.702Please respect copyright.PENANAWG14Jvrzce
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.702Please respect copyright.PENANAMOQ8khn6sD
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.702Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8Sfq6Q31f
"What the what! Sam! 702Please respect copyright.PENANA72AY0sv9I6
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 702Please respect copyright.PENANAOe1Zkxzyxa
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.702Please respect copyright.PENANAMXRmarVwpG
"Wait, hold on, give me a702Please respect copyright.PENANATWHidCRRTY
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAd776DsVbpy
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYFxegCmclj
tell you."702Please respect copyright.PENANAJIaSZbqLVG
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA9d0PGdTDeJ
"Seunghoon from WINNER."702Please respect copyright.PENANAV6ZzSEJPk1
I thought the world 702Please respect copyright.PENANAcZyAY7gzix
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt702Please respect copyright.PENANAKe9lta2Hno
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.702Please respect copyright.PENANAEGvYKQRlPC
"Sam, I'm going to faint702Please respect copyright.PENANA04eKsdUO7T
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 702Please respect copyright.PENANANGOKnsR0Fg
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ygej2jEjr
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."702Please respect copyright.PENANAxCqTRpaUyZ
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."702Please respect copyright.PENANAoWlCBzWVKU
"I know, but I've a plan."702Please respect copyright.PENANAwk91CwgH31
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAyC7zCQJy3e
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."702Please respect copyright.PENANALN6u9Ku041
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAsdK7W6teQq
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."702Please respect copyright.PENANAbaZxNtH2Rp
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."702Please respect copyright.PENANAQwIOqvv7oa
"Or you can just join in702Please respect copyright.PENANAQDJ2cT9oEE
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 702Please respect copyright.PENANABC0khgYEcF
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."702Please respect copyright.PENANA9S3OmAuC4L
"Okay, I'll be there. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAuc6UxQ8lAh
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 702Please respect copyright.PENANAxVsJ23qOol
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 702Please respect copyright.PENANAjHOh3zddR0
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAty731E35p8
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."702Please respect copyright.PENANAVzf3gWp2Uj
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."702Please respect copyright.PENANAcxCoHxHtLS
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."702Please respect copyright.PENANAI6SLuyW3g3
"Alright, I'm on my way."702Please respect copyright.PENANAhdZXaCIoxo
I quickly cut the call 702Please respect copyright.PENANAj1LvqHQuhc
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 702Please respect copyright.PENANA5S6hfUPHO9
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 702Please respect copyright.PENANACq69XVUOVY
the trending list, I was a little confused.702Please respect copyright.PENANAvSPJWX3cwG
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.702Please respect copyright.PENANAo7V2pl24k6
***702Please respect copyright.PENANAoFvWfczKO4
Sam's P.O.V702Please respect copyright.PENANAYTrC7qmx6a
I702Please respect copyright.PENANAnBPnMlpMUE
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 702Please respect copyright.PENANA3jeDji6X0J
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 702Please respect copyright.PENANAoey1VmWtRx
the fans.702Please respect copyright.PENANA7RdwGy1PuV
Since702Please respect copyright.PENANAZfbR8GOHgw
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 702Please respect copyright.PENANAuB4roM9tei
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAxcw9Hu1L2N
massive Times Square complex.702Please respect copyright.PENANA4C8m8zA8UX
So702Please respect copyright.PENANAhx06GPtGxj
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 702Please respect copyright.PENANASbQAHcoqBL
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 702Please respect copyright.PENANA6VeCjOxn6w
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 702Please respect copyright.PENANA6YzH8K3njn
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 702Please respect copyright.PENANAam8eVX0Rvo
serious.702Please respect copyright.PENANAIZDaJmZ9tL
"It's702Please respect copyright.PENANA1nHmvGs1wj
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 702Please respect copyright.PENANAXh7YyGi3sf
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 702Please respect copyright.PENANAy6Y1ircBtm
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."702Please respect copyright.PENANAnO29k3GKVK
I702Please respect copyright.PENANAy4Zdx3nrZo
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYcYHHiBk5i
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 702Please respect copyright.PENANA4CtprFPIVY
somewhat worrying.702Please respect copyright.PENANA7wuOe6qJjE
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."702Please respect copyright.PENANA3zgDHONw8W
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.702Please respect copyright.PENANAZkYiHuM5qg
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."702Please respect copyright.PENANA3sgeeOUUfm
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.702Please respect copyright.PENANAbhsq1Rnuqs
"You're right. I do."702Please respect copyright.PENANAw3zyjs3PDU
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.702Please respect copyright.PENANAUPeumfCnva
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."702Please respect copyright.PENANAF9y1wmkxmk
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.702Please respect copyright.PENANALMlZahPSvs
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.702Please respect copyright.PENANA8RkLv7tfmK
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANA1eIBQIja9x
"You're702Please respect copyright.PENANACc2IgoePmf
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 702Please respect copyright.PENANAKJLrT8OSgX
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 702Please respect copyright.PENANA7acuazlcZ7
around here."702Please respect copyright.PENANAAuL6smWnXK
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.702Please respect copyright.PENANAUGP1oLbMaS
"Who said we need to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAOlPoxCedDH
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 702Please respect copyright.PENANALSALbMNTVw
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."702Please respect copyright.PENANAgKYWHbrBu1
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."702Please respect copyright.PENANANZWTYNoiIw
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.702Please respect copyright.PENANAPPsd1NDxiC
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.702Please respect copyright.PENANApD48Y1F3p5
"Where?" Zoey asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANARa35cLgibT
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA5S3t7K7yZo
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.702Please respect copyright.PENANAhD7uvpHDuE
"Wait, a minute!" I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAvSFaoNDrRb
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 702Please respect copyright.PENANAXETAtNnEGv
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."702Please respect copyright.PENANAPSoL1fdfJS
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.702Please respect copyright.PENANAy6IaMExI7a
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"702Please respect copyright.PENANAcfbU7ItVlQ
"Did someone just say 702Please respect copyright.PENANAsc9Z6AMGnO
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 702Please respect copyright.PENANAnLTNIWfknA
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA0VFepc0MgX
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAcoqQEzXiee
"You're doing that thing702Please respect copyright.PENANApn3EFQZpgV
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 702Please respect copyright.PENANAssCZ0T5g4P
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."702Please respect copyright.PENANAs5Eh1NhMgh
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."702Please respect copyright.PENANA0EyHWHEXQG
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."702Please respect copyright.PENANAi3rEcBYbsg
"Ya, true," said Mike.702Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ty2LZcFx9
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAFPFYfrgL93
"I'm not going to 702Please respect copyright.PENANA7dUVH08FRe
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and702Please respect copyright.PENANAmlTbe9cGIa
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."702Please respect copyright.PENANAMZmo5dn25K
"No, I'm scared that 702Please respect copyright.PENANAO6SktrnUmQ
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 702Please respect copyright.PENANACkXcXqw9Dx
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.702Please respect copyright.PENANALnJ6XIlKZE
I looked at Zoey, then 702Please respect copyright.PENANAPcucnM36HF
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAhr9yYXrXpk
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 702Please respect copyright.PENANAO9skQOoJyI
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready702Please respect copyright.PENANAP81jagZQLB
for that bumpy ride again.702Please respect copyright.PENANAForEuqdfyt
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.702Please respect copyright.PENANAkFhFJIRoWr
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.702Please respect copyright.PENANAt0tv2DVcbM
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.702Please respect copyright.PENANAmqiJLMqF1v
Daniel's mouth gaped 702Please respect copyright.PENANA2dxVu3bZsi
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 702Please respect copyright.PENANAy89LanchiZ
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"702Please respect copyright.PENANAraw7KjQrEX
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."702Please respect copyright.PENANAqDeJpWz2p6
"Well, I think we can 702Please respect copyright.PENANAG6amitszo4
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so702Please respect copyright.PENANArbXffZQXb4
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."702Please respect copyright.PENANA6HN7aER2KZ
"Same here," said Mino.702Please respect copyright.PENANA3nhem6AmkA
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA93N4Aj4r0E
Everyone including me 702Please respect copyright.PENANAAsDYpz8pMf
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 702Please respect copyright.PENANA7VteCjJ9pR
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 702Please respect copyright.PENANAI4921Zsehx
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in702Please respect copyright.PENANA7IsdAhEO2J
Times Square.702Please respect copyright.PENANAlhGH1QsuXs
"There's an open food 702Please respect copyright.PENANAqDBQeg9fMl
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 702Please respect copyright.PENANAKsgWFjEBB1
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.702Please respect copyright.PENANAmelk2WKRS6
"Gosh, I've now realised702Please respect copyright.PENANA1zkEyKUiNE
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 702Please respect copyright.PENANAjek6JXQLTs
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.702Please respect copyright.PENANAS6xhZaoHa6
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.702Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ0nhwGDd6
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."702Please respect copyright.PENANATHUeKM0qF1
"No wonder you Toxins 702Please respect copyright.PENANAb1NNv6MgDi
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 702Please respect copyright.PENANAtjzRuKlz43
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."702Please respect copyright.PENANA47pG88L6KU
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAGvcJ3EG6IP
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."702Please respect copyright.PENANAZw6zlczNB2
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."702Please respect copyright.PENANAkUHrILPyK2
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.702Please respect copyright.PENANA8gZtn8MyMy
Zoey, Christine and the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAbfjFlvLz4e
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 702Please respect copyright.PENANAidaWJHpeGs
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 702Please respect copyright.PENANALuFu3YPW63
going.702Please respect copyright.PENANAqbtwBHOM72
"That's insulting," said Jennie.702Please respect copyright.PENANATCm919oE0b
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.702Please respect copyright.PENANAkpxXk91Qpe
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."702Please respect copyright.PENANAwwawup5kRH
I burst out laughing 702Please respect copyright.PENANAjOD4tfT6wI
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 702Please respect copyright.PENANATOo6KNL5zj
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAlDtM5Uilfm
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAASqak4fpCC
other floors because that would surly be something.702Please respect copyright.PENANAHA15MBxKeT
"Good one, TOP," said 702Please respect copyright.PENANA1fBzLwfWuS
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 702Please respect copyright.PENANAZDfRlDK8oR
have thought of that in a million years."702Please respect copyright.PENANA4VHPKANXI1
Everyone continued to 702Please respect copyright.PENANA9w3YOuXAN6
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 702Please respect copyright.PENANAuifAzXRaoJ
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYkzsZgxtLv
how annoyed she was.702Please respect copyright.PENANAIwi1E32aee
"I can't believe you 702Please respect copyright.PENANAOS6pYOn4zQ
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAT1TnZx4I3G
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."702Please respect copyright.PENANAoIyBN8p09k
"Don't worry, Zoey," 702Please respect copyright.PENANARmc54Nj1dv
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a702Please respect copyright.PENANAlYNVcIo3TG
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."702Please respect copyright.PENANALCIj2OxyUS
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."702Please respect copyright.PENANAANdPXYnEwI
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."702Please respect copyright.PENANApWLOFDtQqi
"I'll sting him so bad, 702Please respect copyright.PENANAnMRXgYhHCz
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at702Please respect copyright.PENANANT5G9CwukY
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.702Please respect copyright.PENANAJFbcTVVJk6
"Oh, look, a stage," 702Please respect copyright.PENANAw6gGOiEzB4
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from702Please respect copyright.PENANAh3Ho07sPPh
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.702Please respect copyright.PENANAFBQTg4uc9z
In the direction Daniel 702Please respect copyright.PENANArfdAU9HV1F
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 702Please respect copyright.PENANAwiOiBVPArC
there and get up on it. We all followed him.702Please respect copyright.PENANA4XR50LvWw8
"I've missed being on 702Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ3xXQ5DZc
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 702Please respect copyright.PENANAA6ZAsJeCV8
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.702Please respect copyright.PENANAkHy5D01ztR
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.702Please respect copyright.PENANA8eQxQDokWA
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.702Please respect copyright.PENANAUXRIML0wNS
"We're just having fun,"702Please respect copyright.PENANAEtfFT95uac
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.702Please respect copyright.PENANAegl1Ljkebh
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAwdf9jBx4W1
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 702Please respect copyright.PENANAEDreUl4WZA
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYED74rBPkE
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.702Please respect copyright.PENANAYn2r2c3OJm
The rest of us down the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ2vE577rK
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 702Please respect copyright.PENANARD8r0nXmts
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 702Please respect copyright.PENANAoejKDGFGng
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 702Please respect copyright.PENANATlyApQS0J0
side of him was a shocker.702Please respect copyright.PENANAnKSOaYNV1B
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."702Please respect copyright.PENANAzFhB5b2cjQ
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.702Please respect copyright.PENANAiw1FCxNTQi
"Mum would be so proud,"702Please respect copyright.PENANAOdgvxTR0Fj
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 702Please respect copyright.PENANAGB87QS3huf
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."702Please respect copyright.PENANAT5xUc3j3Kb
"Haha, very funny," said702Please respect copyright.PENANAe9Y7HSLmlB
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 702Please respect copyright.PENANAk0bXxBWCHj
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"702Please respect copyright.PENANA1DZUUOeYsf
I looked at Mike and he 702Please respect copyright.PENANA2NrLvIA3Rm
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 702Please respect copyright.PENANAZMA4u1k0D3
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 702Please respect copyright.PENANA5lHImPPMHd
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."702Please respect copyright.PENANAUnVeZuf9qw
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."702Please respect copyright.PENANAGibwyfvqIk
"I'm still not going to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5AAPgvJ8j
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 702Please respect copyright.PENANA519LfBWffI
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."702Please respect copyright.PENANA6oc8zPPi0M
"I'll join you then," said Mino as he walked up on stage and then turned around to look at Zoey offering his hand to led her up.702Please respect copyright.PENANAzuVHwyYO9B
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANA1b0nKfPpoH
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.702Please respect copyright.PENANAJRten2uhUk
"No," she said still not702Please respect copyright.PENANAhX8ZzFggg5
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 702Please respect copyright.PENANAqlssHuMRHb
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."702Please respect copyright.PENANAhIG0BTPuwS
Everyone turned to look 702Please respect copyright.PENANAZX22yBHmGO
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 702Please respect copyright.PENANAE1eWGN3KMB
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 702Please respect copyright.PENANAZZVGnPcA2x
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 702Please respect copyright.PENANAT4fw3K4r43
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger702Please respect copyright.PENANAlluIBpdocW
was to sweet talk her somehow.702Please respect copyright.PENANA2rTp6fd8dT
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."702Please respect copyright.PENANAUSPgz4lAAL
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.702Please respect copyright.PENANAP86aBL0AyR
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.702Please respect copyright.PENANArWZFl6yasY
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAyw3dPw4l9a
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.702Please respect copyright.PENANAhzaJOXiXHM
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."702Please respect copyright.PENANAQZqG0zDsXa
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.702Please respect copyright.PENANAX419U5FddY
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.702Please respect copyright.PENANAcfOED8JiTD
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.702Please respect copyright.PENANAqwL4JSY3Vu
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.702Please respect copyright.PENANANrEIXEzc2F
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.702Please respect copyright.PENANAX7uebuGlTo
I snapped my fingers 702Please respect copyright.PENANAKNEjWZKi6o
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 702Please respect copyright.PENANAu7u7lL1RLa
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.702Please respect copyright.PENANA8DaWPt2yg4
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 702Please respect copyright.PENANAmDHaQqlU9b
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.702Please respect copyright.PENANAT89V0Bqlm3
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 702Please respect copyright.PENANASzW9rH7fxC
Lisa: You're sweet like 702Please respect copyright.PENANA75o2yPACEr
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]702Please respect copyright.PENANAbwMa9DjXfx
Jennie: You're sweet like 702Please respect copyright.PENANAwwxIsn4rEY
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 702Please respect copyright.PENANAPcw3gxEblm
We all ended up giving a702Please respect copyright.PENANAUzMKWUEq8e
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 702Please respect copyright.PENANAxEWLFERnlS
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 702Please respect copyright.PENANAHzq0dxAgx5
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 702Please respect copyright.PENANA1mPENmeofb
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 702Please respect copyright.PENANAikAOzkqwhf
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.702Please respect copyright.PENANAdBAO4zklhw
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.702Please respect copyright.PENANAs3nf5bkYAs
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAyKtKBqeLAO
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.702Please respect copyright.PENANAmIu2lZPQbL
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.702Please respect copyright.PENANAf3UM4eBzWo
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.702Please respect copyright.PENANApsf58VzbMS
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.702Please respect copyright.PENANAoHekEOBaU6
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.702Please respect copyright.PENANAMgBSFQeAjw
Im a fan all day.702Please respect copyright.PENANAot66sIEgmi
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.702Please respect copyright.PENANArK3ZUlqIDt
My manage behavior; Im into your major.702Please respect copyright.PENANAbwKR05PFWA
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.702Please respect copyright.PENANAhYq4QvPXBC
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:702Please respect copyright.PENANAGxmaFYn16F
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.702Please respect copyright.PENANA5et2yN7YMK
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.702Please respect copyright.PENANAZdVuJcEFz1
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.702Please respect copyright.PENANACBkfZvftmr
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAIvmICyGDSQ
The three couples on 702Please respect copyright.PENANAw0lUdxVFkk
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And702Please respect copyright.PENANAiEQMoQX2wO
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAkHbejgdShH
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 702Please respect copyright.PENANASUL0Lzu6v8
three couples surrounding me in a circle.702Please respect copyright.PENANALr7uMed7h9
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]702Please respect copyright.PENANAZeWx1uyc3p
This candy got you sprung [x2]702Please respect copyright.PENANAk0kXFTsxkk
So call me your sugar [x2]702Please respect copyright.PENANACQOk5Gd59a
You love you some [x2]702Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8pIuwElUr

All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 702Please respect copyright.PENANAfOVmWIAVsB
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]702Please respect copyright.PENANAwaJ2l5sw2a
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di702Please respect copyright.PENANAKSfzlSn0Au
Sugar702Please respect copyright.PENANAi6mw6PPoYt
Seunghoon came up on 702Please respect copyright.PENANAJFeGvJHeXe
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYcTTwU9yq9
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.702Please respect copyright.PENANA5JUwsHMR5v
Down stage, Seungyoon 702Please respect copyright.PENANAMkTdrckG7b
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a702Please respect copyright.PENANAeLK15mk1sG
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 702Please respect copyright.PENANAsl8Hy3F4dK
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 702Please respect copyright.PENANAf8HjtN2r8b
all did that simultaneously was awesome.702Please respect copyright.PENANArVxHxPDJ5a
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.702Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jx0E5LS8b
All: My lips like sugar (x2)702Please respect copyright.PENANALIl0chd66n
This candy got you sprung (x2)702Please respect copyright.PENANA0WA5zfWfjL
So call me your sugar (x2)702Please respect copyright.PENANAzq5KlgNRjF
You love you some (x2)702Please respect copyright.PENANA7aQli4YTY7
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)702Please respect copyright.PENANAxcefT6mAPI
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 702Please respect copyright.PENANATvVk33JWBe
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di702Please respect copyright.PENANAbqfuHdXHDU
Sugar 702Please respect copyright.PENANAb6o2Bmr4PX
I702Please respect copyright.PENANArTcDv7zQrY
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 702Please respect copyright.PENANAHluS7kYkgD
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 702Please respect copyright.PENANAeIKZ78zvQK
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 702Please respect copyright.PENANAQUUudh8yFI
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 702Please respect copyright.PENANAQqiIZT39w5
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.702Please respect copyright.PENANAvNjGe3BI2A
Onlookers702Please respect copyright.PENANAYjx5kEPhFT
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 702Please respect copyright.PENANADIn67pNob2
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 702Please respect copyright.PENANANaYsA5wx6I
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.702Please respect copyright.PENANAFML5ULWWfR
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.702Please respect copyright.PENANABOnuw6Mmj3
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAO6pqJr6Osa
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.702Please respect copyright.PENANAGXpqadIriz
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.702Please respect copyright.PENANAOcunXqiEdQ
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.702Please respect copyright.PENANACnaHrKzk5g
"Ya, we really should," I answered.702Please respect copyright.PENANAbPt6GLvXic
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.702Please respect copyright.PENANATESYhWH8jK
"Take a bow," I said.702Please respect copyright.PENANAPVTLeK5XIe
Zoey who stood next to 702Please respect copyright.PENANAaR1nNHb74s
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 702Please respect copyright.PENANAuqfamoioMb
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took702Please respect copyright.PENANAK2BSF74lbV
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down702Please respect copyright.PENANAThkFdjU6W0
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 702Please respect copyright.PENANAVIpzSt8OMd
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.702Please respect copyright.PENANAPFX5pjVioZ
"Well, this just got 702Please respect copyright.PENANAdpebDTx71s
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAI0bxULkWFI
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.702Please respect copyright.PENANAGF49EEuAmF
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."702Please respect copyright.PENANAQdmctoPmlC
The way Mike said it 702Please respect copyright.PENANA7yA1Yq1Pk5
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 702Please respect copyright.PENANA1ghnIVryv6
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 702Please respect copyright.PENANAdzP1s7xOT9
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.702Please respect copyright.PENANAjFgcUnvpUy
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.702Please respect copyright.PENANAjXLscbbtCP
When I got down from the702Please respect copyright.PENANAYhlOAzdAzV
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAPLq9Wtwsqk
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in702Please respect copyright.PENANAX05HXjfYXT
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I702Please respect copyright.PENANAcmiSnZL9xn
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.702Please respect copyright.PENANA1g1RUNyV77
"Well, you guys sure 702Please respect copyright.PENANAmb0piwwJ6p
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 702Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ0wIoYdC6
had to warn the security before I could even get here."702Please respect copyright.PENANAjZkiBKnCdT
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.702Please respect copyright.PENANAuhjYXQsKTI
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't702Please respect copyright.PENANAULLRSTy8YR
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAYFlBifdFxG
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAoqha0njc8Z
"We just missed you, 702Please respect copyright.PENANAioQxL7GAp5
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually702Please respect copyright.PENANAjO61eGIKOK
with us but these past days you haven't."702Please respect copyright.PENANApGvQWMgkdu
"You're right and I miss all of you too. Been caught up with work. And now, you have all given me a much bigger mess to clean."702Please respect copyright.PENANAMbEg8xXlct
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.702Please respect copyright.PENANAoCJtBN12tV
"He would've called by 702Please respect copyright.PENANAV8Oxhgrdqj
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 702Please respect copyright.PENANAWnlT00WyhS
no calls from the grim reapers yet."702Please respect copyright.PENANAfoWW1Li47t
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAPcQttX2I6d
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAaFV4QuBkIn
Immediately Lee focused 702Please respect copyright.PENANAp5Q9zhTVdK
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone702Please respect copyright.PENANADpRtI3mRlm
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 702Please respect copyright.PENANA1R7Ti0KxnG
couldn't blame them.702Please respect copyright.PENANAXhRXK4FXU3
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.702Please respect copyright.PENANAwiRXU9Wsjy
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.702Please respect copyright.PENANAqPwrAmAPw7
"How702Please respect copyright.PENANAqDYgqlp6LF
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked702Please respect copyright.PENANAe3NpglxMIz
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into702Please respect copyright.PENANAVGUiuasKkg
your own dance hall."702Please respect copyright.PENANAiBauTTMdiq
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."702Please respect copyright.PENANAS8H2y0uLsP
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAsP6Xi0q83M
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.702Please respect copyright.PENANALb5PaWe6Gu
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....702Please respect copyright.PENANAJlsKEZSsmB
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.702Please respect copyright.PENANAz8bwEBk4Qh
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.702Please respect copyright.PENANA5yzMwIR8M7
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.702Please respect copyright.PENANARyjyTzWiES
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."702Please respect copyright.PENANA81twTKHBpo
"No,702Please respect copyright.PENANABM6p0eC23Q
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 702Please respect copyright.PENANA2RYgRJHX64
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell702Please respect copyright.PENANAd43oQujGPb
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"702Please respect copyright.PENANA2g628bBXXY
"That would have been nice," said Mike with a stupid grin on his face. I threw him a look and the smile fell right away.702Please respect copyright.PENANAK8MpA43iM9
"No, we met them today," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Seunghoon and looked at him. "You hid in the girl's closet?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAaMdJsYG2wx
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.702Please respect copyright.PENANAb6UZHnPj9C
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.702Please respect copyright.PENANA6jGU8C4dvl
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.702Please respect copyright.PENANAtRKmOBaY9K
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.702Please respect copyright.PENANASiMjuKedvp
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.702Please respect copyright.PENANAg0wKbdw6MX
I702Please respect copyright.PENANAWwWJAQNspz
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 702Please respect copyright.PENANA2Yhxvrp78c
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 702Please respect copyright.PENANA0daB0lPQOA
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it702Please respect copyright.PENANAaryubGK0TW
was a lot to take in.702Please respect copyright.PENANAtYTfKZ38gf
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."702Please respect copyright.PENANAQSkza4ESkg
"That's702Please respect copyright.PENANATxO9E8XtP1
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 702Please respect copyright.PENANAcPHvAhEOTA
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 702Please respect copyright.PENANAV19M501HPS
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 702Please respect copyright.PENANAyV84ugutOr
still find out anyway."702Please respect copyright.PENANAQvdgvoIhBo
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."702Please respect copyright.PENANAKBsi4Er9O9
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.702Please respect copyright.PENANAdDSKInQezN
Everyone702Please respect copyright.PENANABEPHFooR5P
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 702Please respect copyright.PENANAOAGOWMH6h2
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 702Please respect copyright.PENANAjYQiLqhzQ8
somehow the anxiety was killing me.702Please respect copyright.PENANALFboG6jsWt
After702Please respect copyright.PENANA59nXQQ0TfP
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan702Please respect copyright.PENANA65dIWhv95G
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the702Please respect copyright.PENANAFD1kXwq6Ac
food court when Lee asked:702Please respect copyright.PENANAi12uDjdCnd
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAlFFlJjXSsw
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.702Please respect copyright.PENANATeP1WdjubV
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.702Please respect copyright.PENANAeGuzQ8Twiz
"You702Please respect copyright.PENANAU3ELeAeBdY
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 702Please respect copyright.PENANA3GKyaDFJAU
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 702Please respect copyright.PENANAVgQqd4YVWV
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."702Please respect copyright.PENANAxQcYs7VqGI
"I702Please respect copyright.PENANABJJkOYaedz
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 702Please respect copyright.PENANANgrhbaWK8C
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 702Please respect copyright.PENANAkPUqrXahqr
okay."702Please respect copyright.PENANAotHV7dx46d
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.702Please respect copyright.PENANAKcz7uIvlHz
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."702Please respect copyright.PENANAHrmV377Cz0
"You702Please respect copyright.PENANAYPAZjHPUcz
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 702Please respect copyright.PENANAhLoMdyiLNa
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 702Please respect copyright.PENANAD5ryj3k9tZ
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 702Please respect copyright.PENANAxX6BFjCAxt
don't know up to now."702Please respect copyright.PENANA0yBUWVWZju
"BTW702Please respect copyright.PENANAH1N0u0k2U3
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I702Please respect copyright.PENANAd7fbteWgB3
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 702Please respect copyright.PENANAIaFUPS7DyW
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 702Please respect copyright.PENANAq80GdlxgtV
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."702Please respect copyright.PENANA5plPdd44xh
"I702Please respect copyright.PENANAUNUKduPnA5
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 702Please respect copyright.PENANAZmp3100qpq
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAFpqHZ4MxfH
normal human perspective."702Please respect copyright.PENANA0wGqfZHAXH
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."702Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8AR9Gyn3t
"I think she is," said TOP.702Please respect copyright.PENANAPILRlsRYpA
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.702Please respect copyright.PENANAkXv7mP68HR
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.702Please respect copyright.PENANARpbehEmth1
Zoey702Please respect copyright.PENANAkUeuVbMFnA
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 702Please respect copyright.PENANAOWOprsgzN0
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.702Please respect copyright.PENANAwmm4OUGQQa
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"702Please respect copyright.PENANAsjt6cXdyQE
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.702Please respect copyright.PENANASWAUW8bafI
Before702Please respect copyright.PENANA7UzJRAjOYl
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she702Please respect copyright.PENANA6uktbUimPQ
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 702Please respect copyright.PENANAsc4F2ihhGs
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.702Please respect copyright.PENANAvL9LHh8HPN
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.702Please respect copyright.PENANAPnRyLgrbxK
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.702Please respect copyright.PENANAfJeGBKVITO
The702Please respect copyright.PENANApuUXMTF3u8
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 702Please respect copyright.PENANAwZu163c17x
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 702Please respect copyright.PENANAWblMQovD44
would never stop fighting no matter what.702Please respect copyright.PENANAmI3pETAreh
"I702Please respect copyright.PENANA5cSqFEHhU2
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a702Please respect copyright.PENANA0JcNrrtfzA
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 702Please respect copyright.PENANAr6NEe8rzWp
it's full of drama too."702Please respect copyright.PENANAYjdp3aoJpV
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.702Please respect copyright.PENANAkWd0YrLxOU
"Do702Please respect copyright.PENANAwgHN8PNIMN
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 702Please respect copyright.PENANADyB1sQKZ9Y
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 702Please respect copyright.PENANATffv7Kj9g0
court.702Please respect copyright.PENANAw3sMKmVIRE
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."702Please respect copyright.PENANAwdMZ9uKJV2
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."702Please respect copyright.PENANATZwISWb38i
"I hope so too," said Christine.702Please respect copyright.PENANAJJFjRwRpRJ
"Come702Please respect copyright.PENANACjoIgdV4q4
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 702Please respect copyright.PENANAdGEcj9fP6m
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."702Please respect copyright.PENANAEklS7oUMzx
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.702Please respect copyright.PENANAt5gzjCk9IA
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.702Please respect copyright.PENANARKSwDufgFj
As702Please respect copyright.PENANAYKwHljM7AN
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning702Please respect copyright.PENANAIamUhUu2Sz
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 702Please respect copyright.PENANAliJbahcIT1
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 702Please respect copyright.PENANAIOCZYD1E6X
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 702Please respect copyright.PENANA2feH5XhOLO
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.702Please respect copyright.PENANADU89mBTR3w
I702Please respect copyright.PENANApFARpZrZKc
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 702Please respect copyright.PENANAi45KwS16mV
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might702Please respect copyright.PENANAyathpoaIK2
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 702Please respect copyright.PENANANRT5YKJUUm
of the blue may arise.702Please respect copyright.PENANAFGFL41lEMp
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
