Lee's P.O.V680Please respect copyright.PENANA2ofj3SPcYk
I was so tired as I sat 680Please respect copyright.PENANA17p70bT5qC
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 680Please respect copyright.PENANA69kdEmHm5c
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 680Please respect copyright.PENANAR2frynazUy
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 680Please respect copyright.PENANASTmprneSBc
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 680Please respect copyright.PENANADgRo2e5UI4
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.680Please respect copyright.PENANAbKipOqq6A1
The past two days have 680Please respect copyright.PENANAiK9AFXcTNO
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 680Please respect copyright.PENANAxvvftwTQ8G
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 680Please respect copyright.PENANALbuzEnVNK3
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being680Please respect copyright.PENANAMzZi0pibwx
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 680Please respect copyright.PENANAuJfOYGF72B
complain.680Please respect copyright.PENANA6M31VnK6vy
Why should I complain? 680Please respect copyright.PENANAwe7FdTHadI
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when680Please respect copyright.PENANA6DDRBWigi7
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 680Please respect copyright.PENANA0Dcr8gYUF8
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.680Please respect copyright.PENANAdZZBkHxfDb
I really love my job. 680Please respect copyright.PENANAhxfhkvjYYh
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.680Please respect copyright.PENANAs4uUbjly0a
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 680Please respect copyright.PENANAzi0vBiCJCY
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.680Please respect copyright.PENANAvpO3eqq9H9
Collins is strict and 680Please respect copyright.PENANAMdmrFYOk7e
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 680Please respect copyright.PENANAqYjONzlY7l
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 680Please respect copyright.PENANA9RlaWJWEBT
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only680Please respect copyright.PENANAutn4dejNtM
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set680Please respect copyright.PENANAfZQFYnR9Dc
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 680Please respect copyright.PENANAANbY6dpetw
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends680Please respect copyright.PENANAIv1t0dTf84
over the years.680Please respect copyright.PENANAlEqmd4jEsy
And another reason I 680Please respect copyright.PENANAw9Pbb6W6vs
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected680Please respect copyright.PENANAzOHJuPuPTB
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 680Please respect copyright.PENANAPusish08XJ
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 680Please respect copyright.PENANAwZDbW3x7QJ
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 680Please respect copyright.PENANAUyGidS7ylZ
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 680Please respect copyright.PENANAsHjOQRguSQ
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 680Please respect copyright.PENANAlKVobeMCJl
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 680Please respect copyright.PENANAIGGpRAqVxw
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's680Please respect copyright.PENANAlnqZFnNHQl
how they have managed to make it this far.680Please respect copyright.PENANAf8xQJAH7gH
As I remained seated and680Please respect copyright.PENANAwqzbpbcB39
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much680Please respect copyright.PENANAXUvFSP1LUg
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 680Please respect copyright.PENANAPa0F6ojy33
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 680Please respect copyright.PENANARz8XAxlQfn
like that at all.680Please respect copyright.PENANACHRrYyV52u
Not that I'm acting like680Please respect copyright.PENANALax9FohoEU
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 680Please respect copyright.PENANAB9puGC17Dh
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 680Please respect copyright.PENANAbX5N2RIPmr
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 680Please respect copyright.PENANAcfw3fhrJLi
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to680Please respect copyright.PENANApHmpUubjs1
help in any way I can.680Please respect copyright.PENANA4qMdayAC9h
I looked at the time on 680Please respect copyright.PENANANwSip5FyQK
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 680Please respect copyright.PENANAXKsbgpX4Vt
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.680Please respect copyright.PENANAF9jKFYztDh
I quickly grabbed my 680Please respect copyright.PENANAu0EY4q5See
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 680Please respect copyright.PENANAoo8DF7XHKZ
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.680Please respect copyright.PENANAjapw1N6pvY
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.680Please respect copyright.PENANAEzdBiZM9pm
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."680Please respect copyright.PENANAep5K5pZch7
"Ya, we're done with practise."680Please respect copyright.PENANANCapJ3l9X5
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.680Please respect copyright.PENANAHPvon4bEmV
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAesBxNCV3EJ
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."680Please respect copyright.PENANA3Mbjd40ulf
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAxQGxq9zYQ0
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."680Please respect copyright.PENANAzVgodxDBE4
Whatever ounce of 680Please respect copyright.PENANAnILo4WbBXL
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 680Please respect copyright.PENANAB8nvcaAfrB
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously680Please respect copyright.PENANArGScoEP8ok
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.680Please respect copyright.PENANAp3hUYmU9Fa
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.680Please respect copyright.PENANApBlQSMsG01
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."680Please respect copyright.PENANArxmIPyPoqo
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."680Please respect copyright.PENANAWR6q7VUp2K
"Is Collins with you?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAtO7wGvjYdr
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."680Please respect copyright.PENANAzhfiMGv6qQ
"Good. I've something else to tell you."680Please respect copyright.PENANARukNbqNKby
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAZMJ0MuBvlf
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."680Please respect copyright.PENANAzWWB8vsElB
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."680Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ6y95nkxH
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."680Please respect copyright.PENANACTPZG0EipP
"Tell me then," I insisted.680Please respect copyright.PENANAtZYe74UhQt
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."680Please respect copyright.PENANAWjGuk3ebGw
"Did you and TOP kiss?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAj17hr8J0Ep
"What! No! No way!"680Please respect copyright.PENANAMpm3KDgpKx
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."680Please respect copyright.PENANAV1iMDNq7Vo
"What makes you think that?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAzSC9nghU0U
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."680Please respect copyright.PENANAC1Szoi5bYi
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."680Please respect copyright.PENANAptrHZQVWNK
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAoiJgY1Wht1
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.680Please respect copyright.PENANA3CRMDp8oCB
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."680Please respect copyright.PENANAOcgeAP1JFH
"Try me, Sam. I've been 680Please respect copyright.PENANAnhbQ5Lfqo8
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 680Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ25PzCAgy
on that I won't be surprised this time around."680Please respect copyright.PENANAZAEZwTYTRO
"No, Lee, this time it's different."680Please respect copyright.PENANAGO3bG4uEGH
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."680Please respect copyright.PENANAyGnOTsUrNP
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."680Please respect copyright.PENANABsXVwShQOf
Before Sam could say 680Please respect copyright.PENANANpipat6Wqz
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 680Please respect copyright.PENANAcl755tSEq9
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 680Please respect copyright.PENANADqUkRiTdmp
quickly realised that it wasn't.680Please respect copyright.PENANApsQO9bilKf
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.680Please respect copyright.PENANAqtW2EHEHx4
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.680Please respect copyright.PENANACjyxmrxnNH
"What the what! Sam! 680Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5JyL2dsB7
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 680Please respect copyright.PENANAkO6fBMM7fh
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.680Please respect copyright.PENANAF2jjM1Qv67
"Wait, hold on, give me a680Please respect copyright.PENANA7pxxWzRnCV
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 680Please respect copyright.PENANA5fBOxh2FBw
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 680Please respect copyright.PENANAL2apTOJsql
tell you."680Please respect copyright.PENANARnnpOKvWHk
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAwK4Z9Npkdz
"Seunghoon from WINNER."680Please respect copyright.PENANAdalkitm9bJ
I thought the world 680Please respect copyright.PENANA5jhickaoE6
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt680Please respect copyright.PENANAC4BmEUeCoO
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.680Please respect copyright.PENANAYkp6UUzHBT
"Sam, I'm going to faint680Please respect copyright.PENANAkp2Esu2tiS
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 680Please respect copyright.PENANAIumkwGro1P
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAFL6UEr9EpK
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."680Please respect copyright.PENANAbNKTzXoHoQ
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."680Please respect copyright.PENANADwNyVh4pHy
"I know, but I've a plan."680Please respect copyright.PENANALQfJN2h9m4
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAukMimtaGw0
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."680Please respect copyright.PENANA8UiasXJTJ9
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"680Please respect copyright.PENANArsA0VsMrm4
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."680Please respect copyright.PENANAkPlzp6dvLO
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."680Please respect copyright.PENANAYvuCQfCvCw
"Or you can just join in680Please respect copyright.PENANAg25g6CbbQh
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 680Please respect copyright.PENANAm8GqBjPFQS
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."680Please respect copyright.PENANAKdMsRVUj2G
"Okay, I'll be there. 680Please respect copyright.PENANAtxD7ZOsHnu
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 680Please respect copyright.PENANAhYA5mK2TVM
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 680Please respect copyright.PENANAIG9g97dYet
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"680Please respect copyright.PENANA860p41KYsJ
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."680Please respect copyright.PENANAmvbqWt78og
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."680Please respect copyright.PENANAHELmB7jTwX
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."680Please respect copyright.PENANAktdNuoZFE3
"Alright, I'm on my way."680Please respect copyright.PENANAHv7itQEBAj
I quickly cut the call 680Please respect copyright.PENANA2OdjL8FFZQ
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 680Please respect copyright.PENANAemkD6hO8zI
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 680Please respect copyright.PENANAxUX8QyDU4w
the trending list, I was a little confused.680Please respect copyright.PENANAILAHmhrtwN
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.680Please respect copyright.PENANAqE2ChxWCok
***680Please respect copyright.PENANAvmKvcppP2H
Sam's P.O.V680Please respect copyright.PENANAJtklaQTvH2
I680Please respect copyright.PENANAJEnVgQZFP0
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 680Please respect copyright.PENANAngOFcWlcJd
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 680Please respect copyright.PENANAINEb12BmGt
the fans.680Please respect copyright.PENANAC4fkFQBYLd
Since680Please respect copyright.PENANApteLSe7fGv
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 680Please respect copyright.PENANAnfTiqPllCc
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 680Please respect copyright.PENANAR7s77x5Hcd
massive Times Square complex.680Please respect copyright.PENANAYnjT3BaDur
So680Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9h5XYZppm
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 680Please respect copyright.PENANAnsJfXfO3qw
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 680Please respect copyright.PENANAymfUPjPZKx
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 680Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZDwTNh9wW
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 680Please respect copyright.PENANATeQveFkI9v
serious.680Please respect copyright.PENANAJwxpwklY7O
"It's680Please respect copyright.PENANAylbt5UAPoq
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 680Please respect copyright.PENANAWIEoCbc2oM
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 680Please respect copyright.PENANAX6gdc66lSx
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."680Please respect copyright.PENANAJBld6m6dm9
I680Please respect copyright.PENANAAjmwCRb1iX
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 680Please respect copyright.PENANACqckvjxqRj
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 680Please respect copyright.PENANAHZpCEDJsiF
somewhat worrying.680Please respect copyright.PENANAbYuOF2yNa2
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."680Please respect copyright.PENANAQr7fUzr5Yp
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.680Please respect copyright.PENANA3GvfMB8VI7
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."680Please respect copyright.PENANAX1uFQqIWBb
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.680Please respect copyright.PENANAJuLp21CKiR
"You're right. I do."680Please respect copyright.PENANAuFL5RzvF08
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.680Please respect copyright.PENANAhq9pGUkTDz
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."680Please respect copyright.PENANAHM7Hw2NbCB
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.680Please respect copyright.PENANAIOC34qpTvM
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.680Please respect copyright.PENANA1Am2V0HI3m
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.680Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ8bq4OrmP
"You're680Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Y9J5qAHw
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 680Please respect copyright.PENANAnQio5dEIBd
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 680Please respect copyright.PENANAzVSMf84F3Q
around here."680Please respect copyright.PENANAW2f9vgLrLQ
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.680Please respect copyright.PENANAqiM7QyqYfe
"Who said we need to 680Please respect copyright.PENANAQgneTlINe4
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 680Please respect copyright.PENANAEURmBFy8m4
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."680Please respect copyright.PENANADeoKlYcPYV
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."680Please respect copyright.PENANAt7BxUkg724
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.680Please respect copyright.PENANArfyKQ0tpRs
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.680Please respect copyright.PENANAAwJ3LT8ml4
"Where?" Zoey asked.680Please respect copyright.PENANAzRvuUQgCCi
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"680Please respect copyright.PENANA9Os4QDKezN
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.680Please respect copyright.PENANAKNH5yrfHEl
"Wait, a minute!" I 680Please respect copyright.PENANAOTeiyhdRNN
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 680Please respect copyright.PENANAKO3NxfghSU
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."680Please respect copyright.PENANAo6qBSgqqVC
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.680Please respect copyright.PENANAOKyUSdi8L5
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"680Please respect copyright.PENANAeNihQjeWhZ
"Did someone just say 680Please respect copyright.PENANAdBchr7FEa8
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 680Please respect copyright.PENANAdudjPr1bBG
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"680Please respect copyright.PENANArmdTaOHg7T
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.680Please respect copyright.PENANA9dhUZjychq
"You're doing that thing680Please respect copyright.PENANAFKTmIEpvlq
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 680Please respect copyright.PENANA8x4yfBcsgs
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."680Please respect copyright.PENANADohr7dJcrU
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."680Please respect copyright.PENANAfSGA96kJdF
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."680Please respect copyright.PENANAVqBN8FsnMB
"Ya, true," said Mike.680Please respect copyright.PENANASeDTTO1IXB
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAZlpyxk4weh
"I'm not going to 680Please respect copyright.PENANAal1NR7rCzF
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and680Please respect copyright.PENANAZazxxWK7L7
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."680Please respect copyright.PENANALaj5xmXKM5
"No, I'm scared that 680Please respect copyright.PENANAysoTSFDd9a
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 680Please respect copyright.PENANAKREyadC3kh
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.680Please respect copyright.PENANAQfCwNaDVJr
I looked at Zoey, then 680Please respect copyright.PENANAMnaCjDY8Ng
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 680Please respect copyright.PENANAi2B1vDQCQV
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 680Please respect copyright.PENANAJwSxORP5a5
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready680Please respect copyright.PENANAeXd0uv0mDR
for that bumpy ride again.680Please respect copyright.PENANAxVHvrHAojX
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.680Please respect copyright.PENANA7KwAExZrk7
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.680Please respect copyright.PENANAFqGx51jGGK
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.680Please respect copyright.PENANASfKwaP7YL9
Daniel's mouth gaped 680Please respect copyright.PENANAgOhy4r27s7
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 680Please respect copyright.PENANA4w9REGs5Or
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"680Please respect copyright.PENANADj07BlJVP1
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."680Please respect copyright.PENANAtcsfSHNiiU
"Well, I think we can 680Please respect copyright.PENANA6uzNEigDuP
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so680Please respect copyright.PENANA6cQoDNRU8c
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."680Please respect copyright.PENANAN3URv6m9DG
"Same here," said Mino.680Please respect copyright.PENANAzFYEINLsny
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAoys9ztilR7
Everyone including me 680Please respect copyright.PENANAkcWb24759g
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 680Please respect copyright.PENANAuof84IYY5g
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 680Please respect copyright.PENANA8yzaXKiabX
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in680Please respect copyright.PENANAEBcPM7dO8M
Times Square.680Please respect copyright.PENANAxrJH0JssKX
"There's an open food 680Please respect copyright.PENANAV5Lu3aY5JD
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 680Please respect copyright.PENANA5kExvvl0LV
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.680Please respect copyright.PENANAbTN5NoDjtj
"Gosh, I've now realised680Please respect copyright.PENANAmD2KUtXnni
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 680Please respect copyright.PENANAO1S8YZ6QY7
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.680Please respect copyright.PENANAjXGFi3mh7N
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.680Please respect copyright.PENANADqOJXFk3Wg
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."680Please respect copyright.PENANAdbBGum1T5C
"No wonder you Toxins 680Please respect copyright.PENANABLYBd54cnP
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 680Please respect copyright.PENANAwMBZKSzqaH
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."680Please respect copyright.PENANA66lsEZCKf7
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.680Please respect copyright.PENANAoQhUGyBaNu
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."680Please respect copyright.PENANA3yKp0cZzQn
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."680Please respect copyright.PENANAcuMllCm4lv
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.680Please respect copyright.PENANAextWiygdvO
Zoey, Christine and the 680Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4Qw9wzbTd
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 680Please respect copyright.PENANAjfoUgDWqY7
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 680Please respect copyright.PENANAY1hPvv6xBi
going.680Please respect copyright.PENANAyBvmRvvtAV
"That's insulting," said Jennie.680Please respect copyright.PENANAxmuRmFAOfI
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.680Please respect copyright.PENANA5HQZLdNy35
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."680Please respect copyright.PENANA7D4WjMLzaJ
I burst out laughing 680Please respect copyright.PENANAery1tcFQ7f
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 680Please respect copyright.PENANAl8YBkIhSWq
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 680Please respect copyright.PENANAgCWtvUKMgP
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 680Please respect copyright.PENANAPNBJuzYbbh
other floors because that would surly be something.680Please respect copyright.PENANAZUjXGIn5Fm
"Good one, TOP," said 680Please respect copyright.PENANAv6isdqbubp
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 680Please respect copyright.PENANAoDA7scTjuO
have thought of that in a million years."680Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Jt1jj4Zc
Everyone continued to 680Please respect copyright.PENANAoYlkSWEvy5
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 680Please respect copyright.PENANAGFnm18u0Bq
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 680Please respect copyright.PENANAEIPRxgSZEN
how annoyed she was.680Please respect copyright.PENANAKDIP20eghe
"I can't believe you 680Please respect copyright.PENANAk1SjwTjeSM
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 680Please respect copyright.PENANA2rmfEVcN3H
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."680Please respect copyright.PENANAjjYrCRwTCM
"Don't worry, Zoey," 680Please respect copyright.PENANAOdtnkdbwod
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a680Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ3I2sMaiF
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."680Please respect copyright.PENANAuz3Rw5kyVW
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."680Please respect copyright.PENANAZsyEMoyGTI
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."680Please respect copyright.PENANAH70YJRPrbj
"I'll sting him so bad, 680Please respect copyright.PENANAgWjws3ovTr
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at680Please respect copyright.PENANARuvMTgWdrY
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.680Please respect copyright.PENANAnlFD2oZXOp
"Oh, look, a stage," 680Please respect copyright.PENANAJWLq2hs9Gn
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from680Please respect copyright.PENANAHjGNpY5o26
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.680Please respect copyright.PENANAm1IVdDyCZl
In the direction Daniel 680Please respect copyright.PENANA6V3kcNkWny
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 680Please respect copyright.PENANAnlHlhJZ2QU
there and get up on it. We all followed him.680Please respect copyright.PENANANnXTITrXUU
"I've missed being on 680Please respect copyright.PENANABasOtqpNsm
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 680Please respect copyright.PENANApMxjPoY6jy
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.680Please respect copyright.PENANARc7gmsPqoR
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.680Please respect copyright.PENANAB5l1D6SG28
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.680Please respect copyright.PENANAlckkHnr1nk
"We're just having fun,"680Please respect copyright.PENANAIukrSnXnZW
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.680Please respect copyright.PENANAwGL46S3Bh7
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 680Please respect copyright.PENANANWxK8Wkskg
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 680Please respect copyright.PENANAgv2PnQ2P4y
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 680Please respect copyright.PENANAsO02A4Z6C8
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.680Please respect copyright.PENANAkCLQOqrKSv
The rest of us down the 680Please respect copyright.PENANAXW9kPe5cTu
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 680Please respect copyright.PENANANH9VK4SGVh
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 680Please respect copyright.PENANA17Q6JHd236
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 680Please respect copyright.PENANAvSPHhsykuF
side of him was a shocker.680Please respect copyright.PENANAvzTocdz96z
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."680Please respect copyright.PENANAtr2RU7tSqK
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.680Please respect copyright.PENANAxOkKBX0Ggq
"Mum would be so proud,"680Please respect copyright.PENANAKBBQkWQKZ0
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 680Please respect copyright.PENANAmwXmAXPD0E
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."680Please respect copyright.PENANAnxXbXSeh3E
"Haha, very funny," said680Please respect copyright.PENANAtxJLZtWkAH
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 680Please respect copyright.PENANAxqYqMQwu4F
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"680Please respect copyright.PENANA6t3L1VtNUe
I looked at Mike and he 680Please respect copyright.PENANAuGNuuoUGpt
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 680Please respect copyright.PENANAH71tViX3MP
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 680Please respect copyright.PENANAfi4ITKecBJ
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."680Please respect copyright.PENANAgsB4Y4zlYY
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."680Please respect copyright.PENANAsOgDnCoCqA
"I'm still not going to 680Please respect copyright.PENANAEowDPuveWr
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 680Please respect copyright.PENANApnARA53kyB
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."680Please respect copyright.PENANAm5htndGhNq
"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.680Please respect copyright.PENANA7P7fzrhu0n
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.680Please respect copyright.PENANAJZKPQ4Foz1
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.680Please respect copyright.PENANAXcTfoiTgXb
"No," she said still not680Please respect copyright.PENANA9XeKKeGYzE
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 680Please respect copyright.PENANA9J22mA4lOF
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."680Please respect copyright.PENANAipTbdqsZAm
Everyone turned to look 680Please respect copyright.PENANAYr5vkkI6SG
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 680Please respect copyright.PENANAnnwDX0PRRX
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 680Please respect copyright.PENANA06W93Cn8fh
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 680Please respect copyright.PENANASjXPgZjIHi
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger680Please respect copyright.PENANASZJoUy32t1
was to sweet talk her somehow.680Please respect copyright.PENANASrbijDZ1RV
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."680Please respect copyright.PENANAaev015LsAK
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.680Please respect copyright.PENANAHp6VkEvbuE
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.680Please respect copyright.PENANA2eL40Ihgjd
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAv9uX8eDhW4
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.680Please respect copyright.PENANAaJlKmMcty6
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."680Please respect copyright.PENANAjK2MIAEzzr
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.680Please respect copyright.PENANAk6B04hkZHi
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.680Please respect copyright.PENANAsg57dUl25M
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.680Please respect copyright.PENANAG6kUElF3x3
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.680Please respect copyright.PENANA3iYfWeg7dI
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.680Please respect copyright.PENANAahKba8Gzn4
I snapped my fingers 680Please respect copyright.PENANAu15yqZ3vKn
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 680Please respect copyright.PENANAAJgDqqjEDD
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.680Please respect copyright.PENANAwULYvaJIMD
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 680Please respect copyright.PENANA8tk8fpI9rE
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.680Please respect copyright.PENANAaroWajhVxF
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 680Please respect copyright.PENANA1R4ZjCh5ID
Lisa: You're sweet like 680Please respect copyright.PENANAn8R1Ddf2gG
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]680Please respect copyright.PENANAmLwaX9wyEQ
Jennie: You're sweet like 680Please respect copyright.PENANAVuhoZQFIpq
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 680Please respect copyright.PENANABtKbtXLQFX
We all ended up giving a680Please respect copyright.PENANA17KRuSUyZo
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 680Please respect copyright.PENANAmniTNIMAm9
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 680Please respect copyright.PENANA6RNnbEMAz8
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 680Please respect copyright.PENANAPqCHDcITI4
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 680Please respect copyright.PENANApSF41KJRwb
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.680Please respect copyright.PENANA1xmsq4ZOje
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.680Please respect copyright.PENANAJ44CgUtbfG
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.680Please respect copyright.PENANAgGTKtmVAVQ
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.680Please respect copyright.PENANAFtln2iQpS2
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.680Please respect copyright.PENANAUGTS2nsSv9
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.680Please respect copyright.PENANAJgCmiqbdtE
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.680Please respect copyright.PENANAh6tidJ2LPk
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.680Please respect copyright.PENANANcriOpAsSp
Im a fan all day.680Please respect copyright.PENANAwndrb7tdeP
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.680Please respect copyright.PENANAVg5Flc5iR8
My manage behavior; Im into your major.680Please respect copyright.PENANApEbOzb5cH8
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.680Please respect copyright.PENANAEEi99RA5tb
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:680Please respect copyright.PENANAwcuX8KNJ2h
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.680Please respect copyright.PENANAWNOIYvBqqN
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.680Please respect copyright.PENANAEBG3G6Hrvy
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.680Please respect copyright.PENANAKRS9Ff6JUH
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 680Please respect copyright.PENANA6287aFjIRE
The three couples on 680Please respect copyright.PENANA54wMznKsxx
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And680Please respect copyright.PENANALhRC7ZfRpN
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 680Please respect copyright.PENANAPTZmtil9ki
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 680Please respect copyright.PENANACKsJNzvOCM
three couples surrounding me in a circle.680Please respect copyright.PENANAVTctNHsDw4
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]680Please respect copyright.PENANAiWCaxaZ0UQ
This candy got you sprung [x2]680Please respect copyright.PENANApjP9Isg5U4
So call me your sugar [x2]680Please respect copyright.PENANA4UqQdPf2sC
You love you some [x2]680Please respect copyright.PENANAveFnAIDip7
I'm sweet like 680Please respect copyright.PENANAjUgi6ek2QQ
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 680Please respect copyright.PENANAMVh4tryt6N
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]680Please respect copyright.PENANAQIWiy3klNN
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di680Please respect copyright.PENANAPNCu2ccMGj
Sugar680Please respect copyright.PENANAdlhhO2FMyX
Seunghoon came up on 680Please respect copyright.PENANAGOMNXFkfWd
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 680Please respect copyright.PENANA8qpGDkwi8u
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.680Please respect copyright.PENANAG9sMnlBDQT
Down stage, Seungyoon 680Please respect copyright.PENANA1NTvmWlg3y
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a680Please respect copyright.PENANAKMhSyJQcsN
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 680Please respect copyright.PENANAbFmqOQSZqh
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 680Please respect copyright.PENANAw0LeMqgVQI
all did that simultaneously was awesome.680Please respect copyright.PENANAv2iK4kfRFc
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.680Please respect copyright.PENANAYOkAOXjuuj
All: My lips like sugar (x2)680Please respect copyright.PENANAf4vTY9Da8V
This candy got you sprung (x2)680Please respect copyright.PENANAtxH7XnnemC
So call me your sugar (x2)680Please respect copyright.PENANA5b5soAyA2i
You love you some (x2)680Please respect copyright.PENANATYNsyYQ0We
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)680Please respect copyright.PENANApKC5apqGHR
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 680Please respect copyright.PENANARiiHo2lOOf
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di680Please respect copyright.PENANAuPJndXn3mE
Sugar 680Please respect copyright.PENANAsS2lNJlq5p
I680Please respect copyright.PENANAXPysnjKmC8
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 680Please respect copyright.PENANA0Eu76zT86Q
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 680Please respect copyright.PENANAHEzvGAB8Az
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 680Please respect copyright.PENANAsKjgFZTsxb
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 680Please respect copyright.PENANAfn3CJXhxLf
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.680Please respect copyright.PENANADOoHFoFQNr
Onlookers680Please respect copyright.PENANASth20wiHws
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 680Please respect copyright.PENANA0PHtPK3W99
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 680Please respect copyright.PENANAhzv2UsCWc1
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.680Please respect copyright.PENANAISJczyhXRQ
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.680Please respect copyright.PENANAhAqOwZBOSf
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.680Please respect copyright.PENANAhdTzmje3L5
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.680Please respect copyright.PENANAqju8z3JSu2
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.680Please respect copyright.PENANAREkuqbF113
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.680Please respect copyright.PENANAzZUsIwFIaE
"Ya, we really should," I answered.680Please respect copyright.PENANAKGoBUil9Jt
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.680Please respect copyright.PENANATnGTXriVAL
"Take a bow," I said.680Please respect copyright.PENANAgzKMUMc8VQ
Zoey who stood next to 680Please respect copyright.PENANAqZJthoGeN5
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 680Please respect copyright.PENANA34ZO0sEXvr
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took680Please respect copyright.PENANAbI96pFo4hZ
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down680Please respect copyright.PENANA3W6k88FQcW
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 680Please respect copyright.PENANAzHROB2UTsz
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.680Please respect copyright.PENANAYEzBzn7Kc6
"Well, this just got 680Please respect copyright.PENANAeJgpTKfpmx
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 680Please respect copyright.PENANAIWKCdSnF7w
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.680Please respect copyright.PENANA3PvQbxmdgC
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."680Please respect copyright.PENANAkAXrt2TNtF
The way Mike said it 680Please respect copyright.PENANAoSpFwOYtFK
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 680Please respect copyright.PENANActB2DAjhIB
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 680Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ858nZ82v
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.680Please respect copyright.PENANAFdjPROZl1s
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.680Please respect copyright.PENANA529aGX08FU
When I got down from the680Please respect copyright.PENANAuG7IrLXVAJ
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 680Please respect copyright.PENANAAdUpeIg7or
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in680Please respect copyright.PENANAMBGZUCz4tt
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I680Please respect copyright.PENANAIefUNWi53K
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.680Please respect copyright.PENANA7jO4Y5DHoq
"Well, you guys sure 680Please respect copyright.PENANA0rykvKKpmy
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 680Please respect copyright.PENANAkD8mKS7zCg
had to warn the security before I could even get here."680Please respect copyright.PENANAzht0Enar51
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.680Please respect copyright.PENANAwVu8mtHnye
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't680Please respect copyright.PENANAHgyoXyxZY0
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 680Please respect copyright.PENANAh4BVJWh5b2
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"680Please respect copyright.PENANA1hnEC0h7K8
"We just missed you, 680Please respect copyright.PENANAt8trU8StIi
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually680Please respect copyright.PENANABpMm2NToq5
with us but these past days you haven't."680Please respect copyright.PENANAH8D9dX91nR
"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."680Please respect copyright.PENANAkr9ALoc0fU
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.680Please respect copyright.PENANAvQKLcDnYkS
"He would've called by 680Please respect copyright.PENANAeCV8E9zs40
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 680Please respect copyright.PENANAl9KIzcalOp
no calls from the grim reapers yet."680Please respect copyright.PENANAxTYigguJi8
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.680Please respect copyright.PENANAqKk6WHiaVU
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAL5MKwttPdZ
Immediately Lee focused 680Please respect copyright.PENANAtwUmIl671p
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone680Please respect copyright.PENANAvi4YEHWykZ
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 680Please respect copyright.PENANAqlQCpLEfE6
couldn't blame them.680Please respect copyright.PENANAUR9EbhAlzf
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.680Please respect copyright.PENANAYdbgVgcQwg
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.680Please respect copyright.PENANA6KLE6UCEU5
"How680Please respect copyright.PENANALmbGs9WphO
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked680Please respect copyright.PENANAOkyz8lD2Gq
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into680Please respect copyright.PENANACoQPreomte
your own dance hall."680Please respect copyright.PENANAfSHAyhyVyL
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."680Please respect copyright.PENANAAoxqQZUjEs
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAmWRxz89FZI
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.680Please respect copyright.PENANAOk5DZZys8i
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....680Please respect copyright.PENANArjFM2WUFrj
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.680Please respect copyright.PENANAvE6b8pKDid
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.680Please respect copyright.PENANATmKBjRBrvK
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.680Please respect copyright.PENANAHKuUcMK0mP
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."680Please respect copyright.PENANAvGjdOoh80y
"No,680Please respect copyright.PENANAuCS3HyawcY
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 680Please respect copyright.PENANAFL6Sr9el4R
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell680Please respect copyright.PENANAIUOZFnWryG
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"680Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ydn1ttWML
"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.680Please respect copyright.PENANAJhiPafEwrH
"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?"680Please respect copyright.PENANABChCgvmBRX
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.680Please respect copyright.PENANAIITCnGVLRA
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.680Please respect copyright.PENANApCgRO8IbXB
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.680Please respect copyright.PENANAjG4ZOoIi2S
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.680Please respect copyright.PENANAsttD2LJvSQ
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.680Please respect copyright.PENANAT1YeJEN7kN
I680Please respect copyright.PENANA9QhphaY9fq
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 680Please respect copyright.PENANAdMzFNLxH4x
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 680Please respect copyright.PENANA0YGlK1iCiT
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it680Please respect copyright.PENANA2xCFogvEqi
was a lot to take in.680Please respect copyright.PENANAp4p5opvHSC
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."680Please respect copyright.PENANARpamnEbCCA
"That's680Please respect copyright.PENANA3EnFLOoct1
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 680Please respect copyright.PENANAA1omXfOm8K
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 680Please respect copyright.PENANAElMJgZajZj
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 680Please respect copyright.PENANAmYYVMnBbFi
still find out anyway."680Please respect copyright.PENANAh3lZkSNEEU
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."680Please respect copyright.PENANAw2LEKiXcm8
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.680Please respect copyright.PENANAkwRER4coIb
Everyone680Please respect copyright.PENANA1gQc6zcRlP
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 680Please respect copyright.PENANANpIDEYQBCs
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 680Please respect copyright.PENANA5oeHzJFRqI
somehow the anxiety was killing me.680Please respect copyright.PENANA1h9DShYR8c
After680Please respect copyright.PENANAMBAO9acJW9
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan680Please respect copyright.PENANAp2RbHDeqk9
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the680Please respect copyright.PENANAvWFuy5RKtY
food court when Lee asked:680Please respect copyright.PENANAQGtWvPQcFU
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAcz5UGX8MEn
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.680Please respect copyright.PENANAWCFkHVju63
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.680Please respect copyright.PENANATA5xNrM5d1
"You680Please respect copyright.PENANAMXnZSIMzjW
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 680Please respect copyright.PENANA2KzjMi1Mog
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 680Please respect copyright.PENANAmjMzHY3CHP
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."680Please respect copyright.PENANA924V6cmXJ5
"I680Please respect copyright.PENANAkV6fTdwo4d
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 680Please respect copyright.PENANAoZLLdS3CTb
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 680Please respect copyright.PENANAX4hltUIYfr
okay."680Please respect copyright.PENANAZuVrpxajbm
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.680Please respect copyright.PENANAdxKXvdIp0i
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."680Please respect copyright.PENANAU60ArXL8yk
"You680Please respect copyright.PENANABIKtMej5mh
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 680Please respect copyright.PENANAADNUeozYZC
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 680Please respect copyright.PENANAm3Rp7QXqQH
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 680Please respect copyright.PENANAeZHtieL7oH
don't know up to now."680Please respect copyright.PENANA9jgfRRYS3Y
"BTW680Please respect copyright.PENANAgnRSzdnXNG
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I680Please respect copyright.PENANAMVS2I9nhl9
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 680Please respect copyright.PENANAdNwm7R8Omk
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 680Please respect copyright.PENANAre2CTHO1kc
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."680Please respect copyright.PENANAnifE7mGJlC
"I680Please respect copyright.PENANAYe4sMuRf0C
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 680Please respect copyright.PENANA2W588sasMw
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 680Please respect copyright.PENANAL0FShqJuB0
normal human perspective."680Please respect copyright.PENANAMrSleHCUyd
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."680Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZJJXBuzxB
"I think she is," said TOP.680Please respect copyright.PENANAAKs8mNjtFO
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.680Please respect copyright.PENANAImXtPhDRzu
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.680Please respect copyright.PENANAb8u9xi4Lit
Zoey680Please respect copyright.PENANACZveQWtaLK
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 680Please respect copyright.PENANAWOe2ZRMOpE
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.680Please respect copyright.PENANANf6vKj4nX8
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"680Please respect copyright.PENANAgTOLMJj4cU
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.680Please respect copyright.PENANAmJwMsbDFxJ
Before680Please respect copyright.PENANAD4bDtsUqj7
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she680Please respect copyright.PENANAozrNcFg06Z
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 680Please respect copyright.PENANA8sCRKrzI8I
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.680Please respect copyright.PENANAF4qy7eECCN
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.680Please respect copyright.PENANANVIu6XETra
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.680Please respect copyright.PENANA8d35WyAN2z
The680Please respect copyright.PENANAtIcphC3r81
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 680Please respect copyright.PENANAdRAWWE4A72
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 680Please respect copyright.PENANAds5bUgZUOh
would never stop fighting no matter what.680Please respect copyright.PENANAlWK4LqLrqY
"I680Please respect copyright.PENANAj92FeZ3S8q
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a680Please respect copyright.PENANAjRszorSuRx
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 680Please respect copyright.PENANAqcoILT26n6
it's full of drama too."680Please respect copyright.PENANAlkzOXpDmPv
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.680Please respect copyright.PENANATQ75BiP3bc
"Do680Please respect copyright.PENANAsNQNMMLdqu
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 680Please respect copyright.PENANADEiIZJAZF8
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 680Please respect copyright.PENANA9eGi61kV6G
court.680Please respect copyright.PENANA7FOkrEG3K3
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."680Please respect copyright.PENANA6FYFzUkM8O
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."680Please respect copyright.PENANAZtRExknfbK
"I hope so too," said Christine.680Please respect copyright.PENANA8mzDkZ8Kwo
"Come680Please respect copyright.PENANAicYbE8M15q
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 680Please respect copyright.PENANAbxyC4GtjPx
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."680Please respect copyright.PENANAZzN0QJ1253
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.680Please respect copyright.PENANA0Eiw5OPX6K
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.680Please respect copyright.PENANAUwvIY1UmuE
As680Please respect copyright.PENANA5fOjcDk10I
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning680Please respect copyright.PENANAzF98jxnbZi
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 680Please respect copyright.PENANA6lSsKGEhjB
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 680Please respect copyright.PENANAlvtxoUWOkJ
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 680Please respect copyright.PENANAp62NyTmdkO
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.680Please respect copyright.PENANAEbqU1I3zVG
I680Please respect copyright.PENANApiEMFQv7vq
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 680Please respect copyright.PENANAE0TUXnGQzk
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might680Please respect copyright.PENANAH67qoQtzfm
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 680Please respect copyright.PENANA00S7xLUlUb
of the blue may arise.680Please respect copyright.PENANAUIVVcX9h9j
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
