Lee's P.O.V961Please respect copyright.PENANAxnvbWHaURV
I was so tired as I sat 961Please respect copyright.PENANASojCYOybnn
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 961Please respect copyright.PENANAsUAn9YgdoO
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 961Please respect copyright.PENANAuNjYnhwqO2
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 961Please respect copyright.PENANAldWksSqpU4
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 961Please respect copyright.PENANAPgUEDv4Cmb
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.961Please respect copyright.PENANAP7B0BxzYpu
The past two days have 961Please respect copyright.PENANAesvnmUQRnP
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 961Please respect copyright.PENANAdJTUCwtsiG
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 961Please respect copyright.PENANAnBDhXYfgBi
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being961Please respect copyright.PENANAupLcPbbsS0
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 961Please respect copyright.PENANA8g2lAZUGNb
complain.961Please respect copyright.PENANAn56jn9ox4O
Why should I complain? 961Please respect copyright.PENANAYsMSSp3i9z
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when961Please respect copyright.PENANA0A6endfVmb
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 961Please respect copyright.PENANAxZIripORoc
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.961Please respect copyright.PENANA2mmId4Ms4v
I really love my job. 961Please respect copyright.PENANArHx1U4hzcH
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.961Please respect copyright.PENANAEnCWfo14f4
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 961Please respect copyright.PENANAM4JXpgHzkq
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.961Please respect copyright.PENANAGUm3K4UKWC
Collins is strict and 961Please respect copyright.PENANAiIGw2QocV5
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 961Please respect copyright.PENANAZit6QIdAU8
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 961Please respect copyright.PENANAs0HPSHedg4
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only961Please respect copyright.PENANAIZmOhvCdf8
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set961Please respect copyright.PENANA7QL4LUuOoB
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 961Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ar6VAvFGs
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends961Please respect copyright.PENANAaHbK4ohINl
over the years.961Please respect copyright.PENANAuvFjgrLdRg
And another reason I 961Please respect copyright.PENANACbNGGIwh39
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected961Please respect copyright.PENANAvg6tn6kROh
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 961Please respect copyright.PENANARRtx0oU8Vq
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 961Please respect copyright.PENANA6InlD2BABQ
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 961Please respect copyright.PENANAeF8F7yPMeO
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 961Please respect copyright.PENANALPK56IURyT
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 961Please respect copyright.PENANACd1bjabEP5
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 961Please respect copyright.PENANAEq9Cc9v3nS
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's961Please respect copyright.PENANAepJ1CVLxzp
how they have managed to make it this far.961Please respect copyright.PENANALOAQM3C1ED
As I remained seated and961Please respect copyright.PENANAee6mngtzCu
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much961Please respect copyright.PENANAuXLANVPRzY
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 961Please respect copyright.PENANAIgoTBqYEI4
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 961Please respect copyright.PENANAnjRETeS28U
like that at all.961Please respect copyright.PENANAz4RsI9w2Fj
Not that I'm acting like961Please respect copyright.PENANAZrI9SvQBSv
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 961Please respect copyright.PENANApy1LAVRTR0
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 961Please respect copyright.PENANAxlI7znLfDk
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 961Please respect copyright.PENANAzI2A3zSpy0
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to961Please respect copyright.PENANAUqds9h1M8O
help in any way I can.961Please respect copyright.PENANAqOWTEpLCT6
I looked at the time on 961Please respect copyright.PENANAIQYhIYGESO
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 961Please respect copyright.PENANAsrzmiQ9XQ6
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.961Please respect copyright.PENANAT095ODIbpF
I quickly grabbed my 961Please respect copyright.PENANA9U51OdunWE
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 961Please respect copyright.PENANAOfkt4BkiaB
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.961Please respect copyright.PENANAh58lQw1Pmr
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.961Please respect copyright.PENANAzkXgzmBljF
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."961Please respect copyright.PENANAV9S2QxHI9d
"Ya, we're done with practise."961Please respect copyright.PENANAiV2rwnP0am
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.961Please respect copyright.PENANAd6i6IKr7Ju
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAonRzXylTaX
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."961Please respect copyright.PENANAhOYWUDHR9u
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAvvyv8PFKiU
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."961Please respect copyright.PENANAxV5DxBM5RL
Whatever ounce of 961Please respect copyright.PENANA9PD0fSYE64
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 961Please respect copyright.PENANAKero9Xha7M
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously961Please respect copyright.PENANAqzr6IihOOQ
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.961Please respect copyright.PENANAfaXOCmHt61
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.961Please respect copyright.PENANAVTEDYGQ6qQ
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."961Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pu1b6Tdy7
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."961Please respect copyright.PENANAQtTZBwJGQu
"Is Collins with you?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAI4pUcAOFA3
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."961Please respect copyright.PENANAxfKVr2o8rq
"Good. I've something else to tell you."961Please respect copyright.PENANA9jFQbzLL1X
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"961Please respect copyright.PENANA9vpHhePb6U
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."961Please respect copyright.PENANAFdvszQFOVr
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."961Please respect copyright.PENANAdL7nFtTNiO
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."961Please respect copyright.PENANAvoScF6K0ij
"Tell me then," I insisted.961Please respect copyright.PENANAXouBZXwCK0
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."961Please respect copyright.PENANAOjfecXtQjN
"Did you and TOP kiss?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAWmFctfoyx5
"What! No! No way!"961Please respect copyright.PENANAMVtwodjVwq
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."961Please respect copyright.PENANA9uuSRynci6
"What makes you think that?"961Please respect copyright.PENANA606JmJS6Zu
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."961Please respect copyright.PENANACT7fPC1Val
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."961Please respect copyright.PENANAFUHYQ7vyKM
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAviwLp52nUL
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.961Please respect copyright.PENANAt9agYvq47o
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."961Please respect copyright.PENANAtmh9K99czU
"Try me, Sam. I've been 961Please respect copyright.PENANAbKRfaaM4UI
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 961Please respect copyright.PENANAUyDxrFNX7m
on that I won't be surprised this time around."961Please respect copyright.PENANACgueWTZ8Kt
"No, Lee, this time it's different."961Please respect copyright.PENANAAC3fxUzC0R
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."961Please respect copyright.PENANAcJmRD6m7VV
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."961Please respect copyright.PENANA6IgaLG6ui5
Before Sam could say 961Please respect copyright.PENANAYf9IADbpUI
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 961Please respect copyright.PENANAIN3Yhgh4eN
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 961Please respect copyright.PENANAMhWafZ0rcu
quickly realised that it wasn't.961Please respect copyright.PENANAnTFHWF8HeD
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.961Please respect copyright.PENANACgpePP6rUY
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.961Please respect copyright.PENANArJ65Z17skT
"What the what! Sam! 961Please respect copyright.PENANAxhuTsBKZDx
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 961Please respect copyright.PENANAXLhYm0rOJy
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.961Please respect copyright.PENANA8ebR0xss2F
"Wait, hold on, give me a961Please respect copyright.PENANA4rPvT2IN6c
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 961Please respect copyright.PENANAAyHYVDRVSs
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 961Please respect copyright.PENANADMGa63BUaJ
tell you."961Please respect copyright.PENANAomuGsUIULa
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAMLraZtEoLR
"Seunghoon from WINNER."961Please respect copyright.PENANA0zAimerkYe
I thought the world 961Please respect copyright.PENANAuWultju4OU
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt961Please respect copyright.PENANAHGwamr37eG
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.961Please respect copyright.PENANAruf99ufKyD
"Sam, I'm going to faint961Please respect copyright.PENANAwvtWTmzqhr
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 961Please respect copyright.PENANAGliVhN6P5t
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAF9B32u2JkP
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."961Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z1rbiar5y
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."961Please respect copyright.PENANA7LsKVHgtLl
"I know, but I've a plan."961Please respect copyright.PENANAvRBnSPgQaH
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"961Please respect copyright.PENANA6C6YTIogd0
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."961Please respect copyright.PENANAmwyivMXgny
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Lp58hPgr
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."961Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gg81Ny9kP
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."961Please respect copyright.PENANAte2bo778R9
"Or you can just join in961Please respect copyright.PENANARkfFZxTs0t
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 961Please respect copyright.PENANAJA8YcMRa8V
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."961Please respect copyright.PENANAi19FNu9PZ3
"Okay, I'll be there. 961Please respect copyright.PENANAIL6dVQ66lB
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 961Please respect copyright.PENANAqMxRXtPMd0
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 961Please respect copyright.PENANAiRcvO1kb56
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAw3yjQzEM3l
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."961Please respect copyright.PENANA8G7TaV4JI6
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."961Please respect copyright.PENANAILWStdm0vS
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."961Please respect copyright.PENANA36BffEIsFO
"Alright, I'm on my way."961Please respect copyright.PENANAZI2AS3BBla
I quickly cut the call 961Please respect copyright.PENANAtpLGwN9H72
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 961Please respect copyright.PENANA5te7BpEh2O
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 961Please respect copyright.PENANAMrhujGNWob
the trending list, I was a little confused.961Please respect copyright.PENANA4kMGYVN3Ny
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.961Please respect copyright.PENANAutjkCzAIUE
***961Please respect copyright.PENANA99LhsjTuP9
Sam's P.O.V961Please respect copyright.PENANAOGmOCygRCA
I961Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ83D4PNrw
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 961Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ6wX6LQJ8
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 961Please respect copyright.PENANAySodFU1ilI
the fans.961Please respect copyright.PENANAX1f0v6hGLh
Since961Please respect copyright.PENANATOhJItSgmi
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 961Please respect copyright.PENANAbIbz1FluSk
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 961Please respect copyright.PENANA3lUmgozLaI
massive Times Square complex.961Please respect copyright.PENANAsVexTwL6OZ
So961Please respect copyright.PENANAlovG8dB0sk
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 961Please respect copyright.PENANAnRytHivlnE
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 961Please respect copyright.PENANA5WjsQNxARk
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 961Please respect copyright.PENANAt6gl8nYG5i
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 961Please respect copyright.PENANAjSIIzIjQbn
serious.961Please respect copyright.PENANAzQDWdwF0bL
"It's961Please respect copyright.PENANAjLeZVJ6J0V
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 961Please respect copyright.PENANAlc6Nkf9olx
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 961Please respect copyright.PENANAXRo6bOytCg
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."961Please respect copyright.PENANAbpUwDtkvww
I961Please respect copyright.PENANABJJ0b0ogD0
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 961Please respect copyright.PENANAryg1wlCM1H
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 961Please respect copyright.PENANALpGOt9umpf
somewhat worrying.961Please respect copyright.PENANAxcqLBJpUv9
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."961Please respect copyright.PENANAuTz16VeJML
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.961Please respect copyright.PENANAfDkIfNd2LW
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."961Please respect copyright.PENANA8YxiIStFUi
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.961Please respect copyright.PENANAkNV1aOmGYl
"You're right. I do."961Please respect copyright.PENANAyJBalGKcjl
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.961Please respect copyright.PENANAMxaTKGhLKM
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."961Please respect copyright.PENANAIQCymqChc4
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.961Please respect copyright.PENANATnXrfh527Q
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.961Please respect copyright.PENANAGsNsgK6e2c
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.961Please respect copyright.PENANA4GzQWjcVOj
"You're961Please respect copyright.PENANAIj2wozo0Tl
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 961Please respect copyright.PENANAOhmvmhlwAV
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 961Please respect copyright.PENANAYRcmR3vWY0
around here."961Please respect copyright.PENANAEfVP97Fvo8
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.961Please respect copyright.PENANAGDpmlRwD8U
"Who said we need to 961Please respect copyright.PENANAP3OV0Zw5VR
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 961Please respect copyright.PENANAa54X5ZVzSN
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."961Please respect copyright.PENANAv9YQooNPuL
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."961Please respect copyright.PENANAzUkaYow3sX
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.961Please respect copyright.PENANALrK3cU6cu4
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.961Please respect copyright.PENANAGCP58cWxl9
"Where?" Zoey asked.961Please respect copyright.PENANA1PlwSAkr8t
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAGcTlCowVKb
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.961Please respect copyright.PENANAY59z6jdQPI
"Wait, a minute!" I 961Please respect copyright.PENANARtacmBEuZl
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 961Please respect copyright.PENANApsATF6EVe0
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."961Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0JIXZEzmG
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.961Please respect copyright.PENANAPUFSoPNzMv
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"961Please respect copyright.PENANABuXGmW11iC
"Did someone just say 961Please respect copyright.PENANANnczTFFG4d
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 961Please respect copyright.PENANA9aJkONr4pR
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAm2USMhaTjp
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.961Please respect copyright.PENANA8fbz4CXcxq
"You're doing that thing961Please respect copyright.PENANAjczhpQFryD
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 961Please respect copyright.PENANAJs13Is9z13
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."961Please respect copyright.PENANAPIQRzVWOWt
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."961Please respect copyright.PENANAOVfXlItvh7
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."961Please respect copyright.PENANARtw1J5O1cT
"Ya, true," said Mike.961Please respect copyright.PENANAO6W7JeCgWj
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAzdGmvikujo
"I'm not going to 961Please respect copyright.PENANAaWZSDCu4QY
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and961Please respect copyright.PENANAEhRcsFb6RD
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."961Please respect copyright.PENANAKhdZHKrg2c
"No, I'm scared that 961Please respect copyright.PENANAga0CiIZB3o
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 961Please respect copyright.PENANA7LUwkkuhTY
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.961Please respect copyright.PENANAIErcoIa6RK
I looked at Zoey, then 961Please respect copyright.PENANAp0aEUqSmJx
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 961Please respect copyright.PENANAMxcS71X80O
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 961Please respect copyright.PENANAk6igWWxMiJ
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready961Please respect copyright.PENANA3RLWbUNYfi
for that bumpy ride again.961Please respect copyright.PENANA32VLtkW5uP
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.961Please respect copyright.PENANAyXz2qJqpaQ
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.961Please respect copyright.PENANAgWZCCL8RQH
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.961Please respect copyright.PENANA5OpB2IinN2
Daniel's mouth gaped 961Please respect copyright.PENANAgVqZgLGmd7
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 961Please respect copyright.PENANArUGmzwd56E
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"961Please respect copyright.PENANA01qxraDArL
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."961Please respect copyright.PENANAK2UkzOPahD
"Well, I think we can 961Please respect copyright.PENANApgcryKo2BX
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so961Please respect copyright.PENANAldc2MVM0cH
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."961Please respect copyright.PENANAcIqVs29RkB
"Same here," said Mino.961Please respect copyright.PENANAv9MTunOJ0y
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAjdluKfe7NZ
Everyone including me 961Please respect copyright.PENANAdP8JWZWceQ
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 961Please respect copyright.PENANAk5ml4OkY3D
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 961Please respect copyright.PENANA7UFjCMkxfN
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in961Please respect copyright.PENANAMOVbcukMt8
Times Square.961Please respect copyright.PENANAYWyz5ozZ8E
"There's an open food 961Please respect copyright.PENANAWWuMXGvb40
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 961Please respect copyright.PENANALF9vnrWYTB
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.961Please respect copyright.PENANAO9mP4VBIlM
"Gosh, I've now realised961Please respect copyright.PENANA7Aqd39Xil0
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 961Please respect copyright.PENANAUCI6e8h3ca
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.961Please respect copyright.PENANACUz9Q0enEQ
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.961Please respect copyright.PENANARNAAk4xiwT
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."961Please respect copyright.PENANAY79cgWzIEu
"No wonder you Toxins 961Please respect copyright.PENANAoJKrQiiLHg
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 961Please respect copyright.PENANA6NJW5VpAjq
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."961Please respect copyright.PENANAWDfHjOYOjx
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.961Please respect copyright.PENANAPImm14Dm9p
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."961Please respect copyright.PENANACPZx9Pakef
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."961Please respect copyright.PENANA5b8YcPyZ2P
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.961Please respect copyright.PENANA5rRooqTpK0
Zoey, Christine and the 961Please respect copyright.PENANApGRrJdHhdg
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 961Please respect copyright.PENANApdjJfjnT7J
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 961Please respect copyright.PENANAvr3jDI6JDc
going.961Please respect copyright.PENANA4k2tnN3HNZ
"That's insulting," said Jennie.961Please respect copyright.PENANARVRphCbzrg
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.961Please respect copyright.PENANAgpsitp9RsK
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."961Please respect copyright.PENANAfCYWZhk37F
I burst out laughing 961Please respect copyright.PENANAdiDhycJGu9
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 961Please respect copyright.PENANAJW8kxwt9Z6
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 961Please respect copyright.PENANAoAwc8Srg8K
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 961Please respect copyright.PENANAUIpyT3y2Dv
other floors because that would surly be something.961Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4sktrXx6z
"Good one, TOP," said 961Please respect copyright.PENANA4lbqZQzBEf
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 961Please respect copyright.PENANA3LoKmVseeb
have thought of that in a million years."961Please respect copyright.PENANAsWqhWhNbxB
Everyone continued to 961Please respect copyright.PENANAbFv03A1QoH
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 961Please respect copyright.PENANAORilE6fcav
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 961Please respect copyright.PENANA2fhUQ1PUvU
how annoyed she was.961Please respect copyright.PENANArpah1VvWL3
"I can't believe you 961Please respect copyright.PENANAU2ZOuVCBVl
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 961Please respect copyright.PENANARv43ztlIKC
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."961Please respect copyright.PENANAnuGdFGEvY1
"Don't worry, Zoey," 961Please respect copyright.PENANAYe3TL3tMIp
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a961Please respect copyright.PENANA1ljYwFGUdu
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."961Please respect copyright.PENANARCf7jN7IzO
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."961Please respect copyright.PENANAs967QGBh7s
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."961Please respect copyright.PENANActZM8Sfysj
"I'll sting him so bad, 961Please respect copyright.PENANAV2NNzOAlGL
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at961Please respect copyright.PENANAiEpQyPejIf
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.961Please respect copyright.PENANA7AkZciuKmT
"Oh, look, a stage," 961Please respect copyright.PENANAeGrv1cNLV2
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from961Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ay7DBqXqp
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.961Please respect copyright.PENANAXI4gnsaDtH
In the direction Daniel 961Please respect copyright.PENANA7MTyLweZqb
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 961Please respect copyright.PENANAIDqS9rbgKZ
there and get up on it. We all followed him.961Please respect copyright.PENANAzQEtXZBcPT
"I've missed being on 961Please respect copyright.PENANANOd3FBGOG9
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 961Please respect copyright.PENANAGL2zyxF83x
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.961Please respect copyright.PENANAMHnGhWApgF
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.961Please respect copyright.PENANAXarAub00SU
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.961Please respect copyright.PENANAs7EZVt7s9m
"We're just having fun,"961Please respect copyright.PENANAHf8nMH0CfV
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.961Please respect copyright.PENANAHhsFEiQTkA
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 961Please respect copyright.PENANALeuYwGU7aD
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 961Please respect copyright.PENANAyirPkOlIV4
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 961Please respect copyright.PENANAmdEok83wLj
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.961Please respect copyright.PENANA2J7MzzCzCY
The rest of us down the 961Please respect copyright.PENANAald9ggBmEz
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 961Please respect copyright.PENANAqa65XGPEja
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 961Please respect copyright.PENANAVYPRrM2OFN
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 961Please respect copyright.PENANAayfovUUqcl
side of him was a shocker.961Please respect copyright.PENANAP2bZOPTBw5
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."961Please respect copyright.PENANAxh69oZsY8v
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.961Please respect copyright.PENANAlrusRg5ZHZ
"Mum would be so proud,"961Please respect copyright.PENANAs0iG0IeJKp
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 961Please respect copyright.PENANAvzLv7vfbCL
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."961Please respect copyright.PENANALo6OYXP8Au
"Haha, very funny," said961Please respect copyright.PENANABXxvJDrfPF
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 961Please respect copyright.PENANA5SYH4bICZv
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"961Please respect copyright.PENANA529xijEDIi
I looked at Mike and he 961Please respect copyright.PENANANnIRv3y8Za
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 961Please respect copyright.PENANANDAIqGuK12
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 961Please respect copyright.PENANA7XUy8MuMLV
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."961Please respect copyright.PENANAWs7uuM0sP5
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."961Please respect copyright.PENANAPP5STNVJdW
"I'm still not going to 961Please respect copyright.PENANAuxcW6vNJE6
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 961Please respect copyright.PENANABtf0yeGbjp
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."961Please respect copyright.PENANAgaqkA9RO2D
"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.961Please respect copyright.PENANA3pUjPpwtUk
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.961Please respect copyright.PENANACUEiqNeF0M
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.961Please respect copyright.PENANAiGcvtzBCep
"No," she said still not961Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3G8JatQ8q
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 961Please respect copyright.PENANAQKpJuW85W2
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."961Please respect copyright.PENANAOyt9h9KoNp
Everyone turned to look 961Please respect copyright.PENANAJbMorWxxXC
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 961Please respect copyright.PENANAnQrQC6kyKF
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 961Please respect copyright.PENANAMjttWo2BQ4
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 961Please respect copyright.PENANATfkqQBnsNi
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger961Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xitks1jVF
was to sweet talk her somehow.961Please respect copyright.PENANAzC6mMthn1V
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."961Please respect copyright.PENANACs7ADVwoFO
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.961Please respect copyright.PENANAQiqpajfZpX
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.961Please respect copyright.PENANArJIXRAPuBo
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"961Please respect copyright.PENANA8kMW6vEWjB
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.961Please respect copyright.PENANAxOAACcSzgb
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."961Please respect copyright.PENANAO6SjKYizIR
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.961Please respect copyright.PENANAXJQCqGhVBI
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.961Please respect copyright.PENANATvMFJRu51z
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.961Please respect copyright.PENANAZpuBT0k0Lh
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.961Please respect copyright.PENANA2iI9LVZqux
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.961Please respect copyright.PENANA2v5tGJHrUj
I snapped my fingers 961Please respect copyright.PENANAiOJYmLOw5u
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 961Please respect copyright.PENANATM6GbfGMg7
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.961Please respect copyright.PENANAwwjDDEUHcd
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 961Please respect copyright.PENANAENwwpM2Z6l
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.961Please respect copyright.PENANAz5wy8fjVUV
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 961Please respect copyright.PENANAqoALz6hDpd
Lisa: You're sweet like 961Please respect copyright.PENANAAwSRhhZ9F2
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]961Please respect copyright.PENANAyjyb3nVEm0
Jennie: You're sweet like 961Please respect copyright.PENANAhQNp1gZnO5
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 961Please respect copyright.PENANAiEJrrMm1PH
We all ended up giving a961Please respect copyright.PENANApQ91ojUBnz
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 961Please respect copyright.PENANAIzOqGnWh6C
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 961Please respect copyright.PENANAi96PBXmSk2
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 961Please respect copyright.PENANAm04lTeCHtm
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 961Please respect copyright.PENANALxPeajrMKo
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.961Please respect copyright.PENANAaxVSlKOi51
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.961Please respect copyright.PENANAU3tg2nh3bg
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.961Please respect copyright.PENANA5PsPf0HCUd
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.961Please respect copyright.PENANACX5WLSi0cT
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.961Please respect copyright.PENANACwPcPthTP5
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.961Please respect copyright.PENANAQVCJXDq0mx
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.961Please respect copyright.PENANAV2yKeVHcC0
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.961Please respect copyright.PENANAeK8X504qf7
Im a fan all day.961Please respect copyright.PENANA6i83wdlJI1
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.961Please respect copyright.PENANAyBNA0Rcoeo
My manage behavior; Im into your major.961Please respect copyright.PENANAK1foixlARY
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.961Please respect copyright.PENANAPaus9z1afJ
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:961Please respect copyright.PENANAjU9izA7FIk
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.961Please respect copyright.PENANAsNaB2gkmLy
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.961Please respect copyright.PENANAfylEmIj89f
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.961Please respect copyright.PENANA7xBQ1M3OYb
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 961Please respect copyright.PENANAuSqtcAItQy
The three couples on 961Please respect copyright.PENANAec5GGTffH0
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And961Please respect copyright.PENANAhRe4O7ON8W
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 961Please respect copyright.PENANAywb7xMMuGu
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 961Please respect copyright.PENANA0OUeCau812
three couples surrounding me in a circle.961Please respect copyright.PENANACKh0UO5nyO
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]961Please respect copyright.PENANAkrYR5EqnOn
This candy got you sprung [x2]961Please respect copyright.PENANAiSAj53JPk0
So call me your sugar [x2]961Please respect copyright.PENANAgmWlaOQNCL
You love you some [x2]961Please respect copyright.PENANAVlvM6VqsKO
I'm sweet like 961Please respect copyright.PENANA2O4AF8WSmY
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 961Please respect copyright.PENANAUDfjDyH1Td
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]961Please respect copyright.PENANAGzCa2ZrjJH
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di961Please respect copyright.PENANApY9fbRjCR1
Sugar961Please respect copyright.PENANAwC5HfJmjF4
Seunghoon came up on 961Please respect copyright.PENANAKhbPdyBxzI
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 961Please respect copyright.PENANA2kv4aA6vME
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.961Please respect copyright.PENANAvRk5U5x2Kv
Down stage, Seungyoon 961Please respect copyright.PENANAmqvaDQdqK1
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a961Please respect copyright.PENANA7TaBF2z8Sr
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 961Please respect copyright.PENANAZZrzKklbO1
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 961Please respect copyright.PENANAQeyakNGvio
all did that simultaneously was awesome.961Please respect copyright.PENANAJNJrbJGkQp
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.961Please respect copyright.PENANAJjCfEDgFVo
All: My lips like sugar (x2)961Please respect copyright.PENANAFxDfxasH90
This candy got you sprung (x2)961Please respect copyright.PENANAp2UHWMWOKz
So call me your sugar (x2)961Please respect copyright.PENANA9bntztWNJv
You love you some (x2)961Please respect copyright.PENANAs3jvUPQwVx
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)961Please respect copyright.PENANA43EGEy5LdF
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 961Please respect copyright.PENANAWhcByFwJ6B
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di961Please respect copyright.PENANAjC6Uo37qQq
Sugar 961Please respect copyright.PENANAUtzP4KH4it
I961Please respect copyright.PENANA3z2xm7xE2N
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 961Please respect copyright.PENANAarYPb0oOAn
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 961Please respect copyright.PENANAC5fGvAFGQx
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 961Please respect copyright.PENANAuLgfa9Ee7L
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 961Please respect copyright.PENANASG7h2BNybq
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.961Please respect copyright.PENANAIOhfQaTb4J
Onlookers961Please respect copyright.PENANA16lL32PR4S
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 961Please respect copyright.PENANAGzVHRTLs3T
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 961Please respect copyright.PENANA1mFXCbdD7C
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.961Please respect copyright.PENANAY0xq1uQhhf
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.961Please respect copyright.PENANAXui1ikiP48
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.961Please respect copyright.PENANAWXRGKTbAio
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.961Please respect copyright.PENANAi4I3EcXH1B
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.961Please respect copyright.PENANAIP44rNQhB7
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.961Please respect copyright.PENANA9ycdYP6vfz
"Ya, we really should," I answered.961Please respect copyright.PENANAT0auz9im5o
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.961Please respect copyright.PENANAes0s3H5K2x
"Take a bow," I said.961Please respect copyright.PENANAKeSCsVjsZg
Zoey who stood next to 961Please respect copyright.PENANA3zE2coRNIP
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 961Please respect copyright.PENANA0HuOb4vDK5
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took961Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y3l0HCCgb
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down961Please respect copyright.PENANAqzOStQrL0z
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 961Please respect copyright.PENANAyzARprLTNU
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.961Please respect copyright.PENANAUqW2nOs94q
"Well, this just got 961Please respect copyright.PENANAr5r0Yj4WXa
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 961Please respect copyright.PENANAdScPdUSfhu
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.961Please respect copyright.PENANAsTXmZDwe17
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."961Please respect copyright.PENANAdZsF2PM8p3
The way Mike said it 961Please respect copyright.PENANA0kyowbWqJF
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 961Please respect copyright.PENANAzJfOlYFbwS
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 961Please respect copyright.PENANAR1u1O45k48
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.961Please respect copyright.PENANAJtf1Hq6u0t
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.961Please respect copyright.PENANAG9M3bjIzL1
When I got down from the961Please respect copyright.PENANAZjJwqINtKv
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 961Please respect copyright.PENANANKvQHmT8Nz
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in961Please respect copyright.PENANAMmGNo8fp1k
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I961Please respect copyright.PENANAJOtb53Uw4u
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.961Please respect copyright.PENANAswH9J5hOPs
"Well, you guys sure 961Please respect copyright.PENANAb8l4VrjjTC
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 961Please respect copyright.PENANA5BgTNvgwiw
had to warn the security before I could even get here."961Please respect copyright.PENANA1Tcu2kVQkj
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.961Please respect copyright.PENANAG2i5UD4uXD
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't961Please respect copyright.PENANAvLMDk0V4lr
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 961Please respect copyright.PENANAFGQW0uMCgj
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAzGHM1cl0PA
"We just missed you, 961Please respect copyright.PENANAyLcK0j1VcT
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually961Please respect copyright.PENANAIgOUnXbWfg
with us but these past days you haven't."961Please respect copyright.PENANAIKohDC9hwP
"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."961Please respect copyright.PENANAPtJ5XY9qFJ
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.961Please respect copyright.PENANAX8HBIV1Aim
"He would've called by 961Please respect copyright.PENANA4SEYEAZnJ6
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 961Please respect copyright.PENANAIfvC3Bdma7
no calls from the grim reapers yet."961Please respect copyright.PENANAKn5F4cCORc
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.961Please respect copyright.PENANAghbM9VAj6g
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAaBWe8BfTVh
Immediately Lee focused 961Please respect copyright.PENANARuMNUEFA4i
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone961Please respect copyright.PENANAH4H7bNTiXH
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 961Please respect copyright.PENANA24oPZuGdIX
couldn't blame them.961Please respect copyright.PENANAE8J0XOH8Mm
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.961Please respect copyright.PENANAVc9Y2C9L0a
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.961Please respect copyright.PENANAja4Xw4JcSm
"How961Please respect copyright.PENANAtNZyyqrhev
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked961Please respect copyright.PENANABDs8KJtU1S
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into961Please respect copyright.PENANANXxqgpge31
your own dance hall."961Please respect copyright.PENANAs2Gj4LVLcp
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."961Please respect copyright.PENANABMlrbg0qM0
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAbOKyZ0zWZ8
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.961Please respect copyright.PENANAZXjuxA4hpo
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....961Please respect copyright.PENANAz8nixq21pK
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.961Please respect copyright.PENANABkcJtde1vj
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.961Please respect copyright.PENANAjURU1DSSSA
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.961Please respect copyright.PENANASbgfCZBJzW
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."961Please respect copyright.PENANAlEPIzx5RMD
"No,961Please respect copyright.PENANAR8EzOtCILf
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 961Please respect copyright.PENANAhQLXQCxfhw
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell961Please respect copyright.PENANAx46c60Ri3C
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"961Please respect copyright.PENANAPzOOJskqPg
"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.961Please respect copyright.PENANAom9aYPyCcr
"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?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAuzK8AVC6W6
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.961Please respect copyright.PENANALlv9eu6lT0
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.961Please respect copyright.PENANAi1X5fHAGEh
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.961Please respect copyright.PENANAxSD3CRIN76
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.961Please respect copyright.PENANADpPkr0AY1j
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.961Please respect copyright.PENANANTJXfZpaV5
I961Please respect copyright.PENANAIyIDtmn4mC
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 961Please respect copyright.PENANAx8cfiwBt4O
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 961Please respect copyright.PENANAzoIxWLjd2p
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it961Please respect copyright.PENANALnnapF2KRW
was a lot to take in.961Please respect copyright.PENANAxCd2JWdN9M
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."961Please respect copyright.PENANAaImxOsglYQ
"That's961Please respect copyright.PENANARvnKxSyBPK
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 961Please respect copyright.PENANAWLTrfFZFvF
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 961Please respect copyright.PENANAniQHloDtBW
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 961Please respect copyright.PENANAhXQOiITvXi
still find out anyway."961Please respect copyright.PENANAKIBkxcQNuW
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."961Please respect copyright.PENANAYkykFRFYoO
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.961Please respect copyright.PENANAZnWfK3786t
Everyone961Please respect copyright.PENANAVjQZcyUlFy
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 961Please respect copyright.PENANABPeJWSChA8
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 961Please respect copyright.PENANABK0u7yCJCa
somehow the anxiety was killing me.961Please respect copyright.PENANA4E0nQOksAX
After961Please respect copyright.PENANA3K5FpKgyRh
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan961Please respect copyright.PENANA6bAkVkfSG6
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the961Please respect copyright.PENANAZbeRHIMlJh
food court when Lee asked:961Please respect copyright.PENANAAyPSRpXoeL
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAnXPajnH6gA
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.961Please respect copyright.PENANABhfrRSfh2t
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.961Please respect copyright.PENANAslNH84JCmj
"You961Please respect copyright.PENANAZMA301bJnR
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 961Please respect copyright.PENANA9R1JLQuXLP
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 961Please respect copyright.PENANAwmGNBPYZwK
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."961Please respect copyright.PENANAVUaTvio28V
"I961Please respect copyright.PENANAsxEWNGIeuA
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 961Please respect copyright.PENANAo1WQiDNsrk
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 961Please respect copyright.PENANACMO0fuahA8
okay."961Please respect copyright.PENANACdwcR1k2lV
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.961Please respect copyright.PENANAPCvuFXwGeB
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."961Please respect copyright.PENANAVuUGJZ1d73
"You961Please respect copyright.PENANAAfoo7J9mw4
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 961Please respect copyright.PENANAAab4b6ZLKK
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 961Please respect copyright.PENANAIinryBrOZX
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 961Please respect copyright.PENANA2jQlH0U2TH
don't know up to now."961Please respect copyright.PENANACl2Gb8OybF
"BTW961Please respect copyright.PENANAH3TA7kKd1k
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I961Please respect copyright.PENANAqXuNTbmk0B
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 961Please respect copyright.PENANALVCa5CqBkK
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 961Please respect copyright.PENANA0weAhy4p8x
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."961Please respect copyright.PENANAcqRQpY0QMZ
"I961Please respect copyright.PENANAlEIU2mGXMP
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 961Please respect copyright.PENANAgTsnT1eP8Z
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 961Please respect copyright.PENANALaRrbpoBmq
normal human perspective."961Please respect copyright.PENANA0CVNU5KaKx
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."961Please respect copyright.PENANAEXBwLpeXq8
"I think she is," said TOP.961Please respect copyright.PENANAwkiKngbFlc
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.961Please respect copyright.PENANAVxuDl8ufj9
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.961Please respect copyright.PENANAMXFWcpaIAe
Zoey961Please respect copyright.PENANAjMhbCIOIFB
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 961Please respect copyright.PENANA0IfbKanI69
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.961Please respect copyright.PENANAIo4pl5VOlg
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"961Please respect copyright.PENANAza6XDHQMga
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.961Please respect copyright.PENANAYfGfp39xkW
Before961Please respect copyright.PENANADXFBpMrld9
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she961Please respect copyright.PENANAR1gZYuJHEA
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 961Please respect copyright.PENANARE9hGPKZWs
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.961Please respect copyright.PENANAVVAkYTeeVp
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.961Please respect copyright.PENANAuSu3pjEQcp
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.961Please respect copyright.PENANA90AsWax1cr
The961Please respect copyright.PENANAA6PddrhEml
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 961Please respect copyright.PENANAGbvm0g4iwy
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 961Please respect copyright.PENANAhQt10EVJ42
would never stop fighting no matter what.961Please respect copyright.PENANAh7FUnxYuEC
"I961Please respect copyright.PENANAWal7WO98RK
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a961Please respect copyright.PENANAjajakGNYnA
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 961Please respect copyright.PENANAo0puhj9mGv
it's full of drama too."961Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ0IF2gFJa
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.961Please respect copyright.PENANAGj8VmJt56t
"Do961Please respect copyright.PENANAemp8Lv8KAI
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 961Please respect copyright.PENANA7sFE3wcmvI
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 961Please respect copyright.PENANAlYvi9Hw61b
court.961Please respect copyright.PENANAvtdfQiLWu2
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."961Please respect copyright.PENANALcsopqjRMd
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."961Please respect copyright.PENANA5TXfVvOwM4
"I hope so too," said Christine.961Please respect copyright.PENANAkkGONy57Q2
"Come961Please respect copyright.PENANANzW3n5kYXA
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 961Please respect copyright.PENANAphekAS633H
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."961Please respect copyright.PENANAxPH76aFMLm
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.961Please respect copyright.PENANAmzQmYalgPU
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.961Please respect copyright.PENANAahhirD4otF
As961Please respect copyright.PENANAhuhPOavyBz
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning961Please respect copyright.PENANAJJc5hPvhLy
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 961Please respect copyright.PENANAPYJ45RbQHk
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 961Please respect copyright.PENANAA6jjhyJTSl
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 961Please respect copyright.PENANAwMBaluJlLz
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.961Please respect copyright.PENANAp9WjvymxpL
I961Please respect copyright.PENANAjPbCBf2K65
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 961Please respect copyright.PENANAywjrRhiA8X
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might961Please respect copyright.PENANArSHgTFvh3B
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 961Please respect copyright.PENANAWYIATaG8g7
of the blue may arise.961Please respect copyright.PENANA0PPoJJCaYu
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
