Lee's P.O.V987Please respect copyright.PENANApMBdodjbDi
I was so tired as I sat 987Please respect copyright.PENANAC0a1Oee5Es
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 987Please respect copyright.PENANAu4VIrk0zEx
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 987Please respect copyright.PENANA3COZrFklTL
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 987Please respect copyright.PENANAQh7oz03Eee
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 987Please respect copyright.PENANAyGCidh8cxu
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.987Please respect copyright.PENANAWLVA05I3G6
The past two days have 987Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zx21pPUuH
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 987Please respect copyright.PENANANFtbJs4WdI
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 987Please respect copyright.PENANASWgHOj2X0S
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being987Please respect copyright.PENANAVcYK5Sdc9l
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 987Please respect copyright.PENANAy7rR0SFy0k
complain.987Please respect copyright.PENANASrd5PBT3ml
Why should I complain? 987Please respect copyright.PENANAhcrFh5f3UP
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when987Please respect copyright.PENANAJt6yfOt1qN
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 987Please respect copyright.PENANAbqXdeCk2Gq
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.987Please respect copyright.PENANAhu2ttNQa9X
I really love my job. 987Please respect copyright.PENANAtpvEcq6ENg
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.987Please respect copyright.PENANAyZymHr7MXj
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 987Please respect copyright.PENANAc0ytQl08i8
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.987Please respect copyright.PENANAPHNp2C44P0
Collins is strict and 987Please respect copyright.PENANAEUi7ehLoza
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 987Please respect copyright.PENANA9q9MnaNdQG
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 987Please respect copyright.PENANAsLUW3N7NMM
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only987Please respect copyright.PENANAKIK6OrzJ62
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set987Please respect copyright.PENANA7MhspdS3rN
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 987Please respect copyright.PENANAYAfE6Gy1Nm
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends987Please respect copyright.PENANAP6iXLpYkSH
over the years.987Please respect copyright.PENANA56HOsM1lI2
And another reason I 987Please respect copyright.PENANAMnTdqOeCWe
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected987Please respect copyright.PENANAiPyDysXu22
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 987Please respect copyright.PENANAzli6sQCGBd
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 987Please respect copyright.PENANAEdLPtTdeNl
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 987Please respect copyright.PENANAvbjpy4gUjj
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 987Please respect copyright.PENANA3hPjB4rNnz
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 987Please respect copyright.PENANAltwsqOdHdB
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 987Please respect copyright.PENANAexRMGrpg4G
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's987Please respect copyright.PENANAsttCkZkUnu
how they have managed to make it this far.987Please respect copyright.PENANAkPkgCCPzco
As I remained seated and987Please respect copyright.PENANAQyblLbBs1F
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much987Please respect copyright.PENANAe505Givrrj
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 987Please respect copyright.PENANAdjvHqUltnp
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 987Please respect copyright.PENANANtGL1p5Juf
like that at all.987Please respect copyright.PENANAInu0I2Hp32
Not that I'm acting like987Please respect copyright.PENANAChMShVVWo8
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 987Please respect copyright.PENANAiIUxBbSCrK
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 987Please respect copyright.PENANAkpO51JG0VN
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 987Please respect copyright.PENANA5mReZpq4Mp
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to987Please respect copyright.PENANAWdvTPrXeLT
help in any way I can.987Please respect copyright.PENANAttFbhKko6x
I looked at the time on 987Please respect copyright.PENANAcenFAJtqvX
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 987Please respect copyright.PENANA31RDSh3agZ
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.987Please respect copyright.PENANASSDBtRbFZO
I quickly grabbed my 987Please respect copyright.PENANAgIRDM16wlq
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 987Please respect copyright.PENANAemASjaYMmF
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.987Please respect copyright.PENANAxxUMVGc7Jx
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.987Please respect copyright.PENANAP1AsTtiM8Z
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."987Please respect copyright.PENANAsE0iL140uy
"Ya, we're done with practise."987Please respect copyright.PENANABDqx1mjIzF
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.987Please respect copyright.PENANA2ukkcVUuqH
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"987Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qs13u65rk
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."987Please respect copyright.PENANAtIpoinl0D9
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"987Please respect copyright.PENANA8dE2sZUJf6
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."987Please respect copyright.PENANAeglO6XhVwE
Whatever ounce of 987Please respect copyright.PENANAqXFQzCgfVx
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 987Please respect copyright.PENANAo0gtpMeCxq
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously987Please respect copyright.PENANAHKxc5S1GZ6
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.987Please respect copyright.PENANA5lfiacFF7S
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.987Please respect copyright.PENANAIPUnJxhC3V
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."987Please respect copyright.PENANAGx8WSgk652
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."987Please respect copyright.PENANA7It6Rd8x5s
"Is Collins with you?"987Please respect copyright.PENANArB4QOHjRdO
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."987Please respect copyright.PENANAxt2juhX67Z
"Good. I've something else to tell you."987Please respect copyright.PENANAm6lKoqXudc
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"987Please respect copyright.PENANASFPdlJdDWO
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."987Please respect copyright.PENANApQCCEQG8mN
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."987Please respect copyright.PENANAMetmJhkjRQ
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."987Please respect copyright.PENANAy9hj0rR9hz
"Tell me then," I insisted.987Please respect copyright.PENANAnLjsqvcBpS
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."987Please respect copyright.PENANALKneErT7II
"Did you and TOP kiss?"987Please respect copyright.PENANA6S65kVQojz
"What! No! No way!"987Please respect copyright.PENANA0iAjUtUQN4
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."987Please respect copyright.PENANAHkol5BVkOp
"What makes you think that?"987Please respect copyright.PENANA8XxWgSL1jO
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."987Please respect copyright.PENANAGnIa7e3VDf
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."987Please respect copyright.PENANAixcWS4jy3B
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAe7IJFfDOw0
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.987Please respect copyright.PENANAHoalXaQ6Ky
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."987Please respect copyright.PENANA2AOTC9yjY7
"Try me, Sam. I've been 987Please respect copyright.PENANATcShubHWlk
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 987Please respect copyright.PENANANbYzBIQoHy
on that I won't be surprised this time around."987Please respect copyright.PENANAbTvMHshrPs
"No, Lee, this time it's different."987Please respect copyright.PENANA7f4nZpd39z
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."987Please respect copyright.PENANALuqhrhphsM
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."987Please respect copyright.PENANAaeGORnNA8S
Before Sam could say 987Please respect copyright.PENANA2EYR93TBAd
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 987Please respect copyright.PENANA5ieNLTfmKu
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 987Please respect copyright.PENANAH8pI08l2MS
quickly realised that it wasn't.987Please respect copyright.PENANAp7rcvxVIHs
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.987Please respect copyright.PENANAR2rHqEU8He
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.987Please respect copyright.PENANAQJnpSLpxfo
"What the what! Sam! 987Please respect copyright.PENANAvKj4NQZiJE
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 987Please respect copyright.PENANAqtf1NNrYR4
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.987Please respect copyright.PENANAEqgNCO1p81
"Wait, hold on, give me a987Please respect copyright.PENANAdHYjaLdAAf
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 987Please respect copyright.PENANA6dflvU2smm
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 987Please respect copyright.PENANA8lJWNiIFJa
tell you."987Please respect copyright.PENANAM673xrE06o
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAdmm6syWlUz
"Seunghoon from WINNER."987Please respect copyright.PENANAlVOCQpRImO
I thought the world 987Please respect copyright.PENANAt58ig8RV9v
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt987Please respect copyright.PENANA5DWUU8Jja6
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.987Please respect copyright.PENANAIvQ2QVxxNL
"Sam, I'm going to faint987Please respect copyright.PENANAnX7CZbQdKY
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 987Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZzE7ux1CI
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"987Please respect copyright.PENANA6feWaQe7w5
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."987Please respect copyright.PENANAecTDNghyiS
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."987Please respect copyright.PENANAzaHprCftCZ
"I know, but I've a plan."987Please respect copyright.PENANA43qw5av0WU
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAVCDTKsYxhy
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."987Please respect copyright.PENANAikt2slUJal
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAKlTgIMcWL7
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."987Please respect copyright.PENANAau5aGexuJu
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."987Please respect copyright.PENANAk8ZHLnbsyx
"Or you can just join in987Please respect copyright.PENANApX1Ktzxe2K
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 987Please respect copyright.PENANAoWBN6O4Nda
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."987Please respect copyright.PENANAGpfGblvsnX
"Okay, I'll be there. 987Please respect copyright.PENANARNz5TAIcqk
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 987Please respect copyright.PENANAMuaYKoZH3j
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 987Please respect copyright.PENANABHbpuobrI8
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAELFdOXBEzs
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."987Please respect copyright.PENANAkYGoMEMRdi
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."987Please respect copyright.PENANACkcAH3m0xC
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."987Please respect copyright.PENANApxGldk6kDT
"Alright, I'm on my way."987Please respect copyright.PENANAVmt7jZvTdQ
I quickly cut the call 987Please respect copyright.PENANAAk6AjHEFGo
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 987Please respect copyright.PENANA8ytwmb2YCL
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 987Please respect copyright.PENANA98EaROH9XX
the trending list, I was a little confused.987Please respect copyright.PENANAf2BGJiIFOk
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.987Please respect copyright.PENANAhaT7yGXKxG
***987Please respect copyright.PENANAYbg0VocWsA
Sam's P.O.V987Please respect copyright.PENANA4xuQRmDl0J
I987Please respect copyright.PENANAQjPlUB5mur
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 987Please respect copyright.PENANAiSFsJvJWPI
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 987Please respect copyright.PENANAk34yI5g2JZ
the fans.987Please respect copyright.PENANA0aYlXqSRfT
Since987Please respect copyright.PENANAnBA5gTSXMn
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 987Please respect copyright.PENANAdAqXILtBnN
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 987Please respect copyright.PENANAEEoYworz2W
massive Times Square complex.987Please respect copyright.PENANAiWlY3msDXO
So987Please respect copyright.PENANAooHMoF0Npl
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 987Please respect copyright.PENANArrSO6h7c3f
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 987Please respect copyright.PENANAwGgyBf2QZu
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 987Please respect copyright.PENANAuQEQzQIi1p
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 987Please respect copyright.PENANA8uqfhNAhHk
serious.987Please respect copyright.PENANAgQKGjV97yW
"It's987Please respect copyright.PENANApCGf3F3xI7
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 987Please respect copyright.PENANAmDNCjxpnKw
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 987Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ7Y0DnU5H
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."987Please respect copyright.PENANA0C99Xd2Ljw
I987Please respect copyright.PENANA8rFb5HdIec
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 987Please respect copyright.PENANAAJJoAvfLfy
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 987Please respect copyright.PENANAGtfsVxHBvy
somewhat worrying.987Please respect copyright.PENANAEp2REYoV3n
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."987Please respect copyright.PENANATGs8nxIhGz
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.987Please respect copyright.PENANAvnuuHFr6KV
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."987Please respect copyright.PENANAUqWApzZp2f
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.987Please respect copyright.PENANAfmY469x0Pn
"You're right. I do."987Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5jLPHzbl4
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.987Please respect copyright.PENANA3bxzWA8g7x
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."987Please respect copyright.PENANA1CbTcGdd9Q
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.987Please respect copyright.PENANAo3QFElBmXz
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.987Please respect copyright.PENANAkUGNF3iW8q
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.987Please respect copyright.PENANAd0NIS0uxYp
"You're987Please respect copyright.PENANAMpbHxM8rVH
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 987Please respect copyright.PENANAjaIqCsGeyM
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 987Please respect copyright.PENANAOtiv5UI0yN
around here."987Please respect copyright.PENANALQ04ThmNW9
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.987Please respect copyright.PENANAAMxIaQL4QL
"Who said we need to 987Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ90O7zUdG
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 987Please respect copyright.PENANAx0W7L84DWx
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."987Please respect copyright.PENANA4muRJwbicK
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."987Please respect copyright.PENANAomR2YsuKNE
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.987Please respect copyright.PENANAc7upLVBeRo
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.987Please respect copyright.PENANAlMQlb4dT64
"Where?" Zoey asked.987Please respect copyright.PENANAcU04xTXtOP
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAbHKXmaBtem
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.987Please respect copyright.PENANAtrXEkFIRRw
"Wait, a minute!" I 987Please respect copyright.PENANAUENaG4p3Xs
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 987Please respect copyright.PENANAttzzVYPXBd
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."987Please respect copyright.PENANAEbNnxt70sJ
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.987Please respect copyright.PENANANc5MMZkjCN
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"987Please respect copyright.PENANAVZQ6GeP3LY
"Did someone just say 987Please respect copyright.PENANAabaa7NgPPn
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 987Please respect copyright.PENANAAWEWKh76pP
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAGaBSTycIhi
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.987Please respect copyright.PENANAm2GfwWFzM8
"You're doing that thing987Please respect copyright.PENANAGSy4PY9TlT
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 987Please respect copyright.PENANAVjQ5NEz5vZ
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."987Please respect copyright.PENANAKdVrJralAi
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."987Please respect copyright.PENANAL0nWGPpDnz
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."987Please respect copyright.PENANAof3OX6bzgS
"Ya, true," said Mike.987Please respect copyright.PENANAP2N1DlFGu6
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"987Please respect copyright.PENANArVFM534qX9
"I'm not going to 987Please respect copyright.PENANANMR8KikLM1
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and987Please respect copyright.PENANAhrJPzosliC
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."987Please respect copyright.PENANAYWYuNVlaZ0
"No, I'm scared that 987Please respect copyright.PENANAgxskv9axCU
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 987Please respect copyright.PENANANeDE3pIL3Y
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.987Please respect copyright.PENANADxYkZiMGdz
I looked at Zoey, then 987Please respect copyright.PENANAgYSSk1Tktw
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 987Please respect copyright.PENANAjjWJLRk8Rp
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 987Please respect copyright.PENANAQxcaOdcOpa
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready987Please respect copyright.PENANAjQaennKakN
for that bumpy ride again.987Please respect copyright.PENANAleGPN2l4nb
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.987Please respect copyright.PENANANNb5IUiTxF
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.987Please respect copyright.PENANABzOBN97T41
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.987Please respect copyright.PENANAnHO7HdJi0z
Daniel's mouth gaped 987Please respect copyright.PENANAr2dMenNQJK
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 987Please respect copyright.PENANA00Fy6s03tw
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"987Please respect copyright.PENANA6iTN9xvxQF
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."987Please respect copyright.PENANAXkinLBacvP
"Well, I think we can 987Please respect copyright.PENANA0Aq6zLbVLU
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so987Please respect copyright.PENANAIjuP0tBjN4
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."987Please respect copyright.PENANA8ba2LH48Nc
"Same here," said Mino.987Please respect copyright.PENANA9XolJjNp7w
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAVPf9OqyBc3
Everyone including me 987Please respect copyright.PENANAFePSghqmhS
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 987Please respect copyright.PENANAdTUPiNAhOe
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 987Please respect copyright.PENANADyvxYcmIn7
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in987Please respect copyright.PENANAaBHGEnrauG
Times Square.987Please respect copyright.PENANAhKf88GN0gt
"There's an open food 987Please respect copyright.PENANAzTAfsZ25T9
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 987Please respect copyright.PENANAXAzmWDy1Eb
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.987Please respect copyright.PENANATmzbsrBNtO
"Gosh, I've now realised987Please respect copyright.PENANASrdA994diw
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 987Please respect copyright.PENANAuQpiIIHwcY
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.987Please respect copyright.PENANAU3TGfjxPeu
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.987Please respect copyright.PENANArUyvv58xEf
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."987Please respect copyright.PENANAA9vmo1wl60
"No wonder you Toxins 987Please respect copyright.PENANAW38lOxmqbp
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 987Please respect copyright.PENANAIazhV4vACk
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."987Please respect copyright.PENANA8NoYu0v0oi
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.987Please respect copyright.PENANAj81XYm77Ez
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."987Please respect copyright.PENANAQAQ8NQRV9C
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."987Please respect copyright.PENANAkl3SoAmhbo
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.987Please respect copyright.PENANAbipUiJMi01
Zoey, Christine and the 987Please respect copyright.PENANAGbB9eHJmz0
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 987Please respect copyright.PENANAB7UPdxk6AQ
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 987Please respect copyright.PENANAVBUOoasNjI
going.987Please respect copyright.PENANALmoios7u4s
"That's insulting," said Jennie.987Please respect copyright.PENANAZCH25AopkJ
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.987Please respect copyright.PENANAjVOaV0QIra
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."987Please respect copyright.PENANADzKJeef9lp
I burst out laughing 987Please respect copyright.PENANAP5SMgGgVoy
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 987Please respect copyright.PENANAYEjZ4yP8F4
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 987Please respect copyright.PENANAobpkN5cdQW
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 987Please respect copyright.PENANAolZYhqKBO4
other floors because that would surly be something.987Please respect copyright.PENANA7l16h9bp8X
"Good one, TOP," said 987Please respect copyright.PENANAnZuLRVITSC
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 987Please respect copyright.PENANAU70LwtrlAF
have thought of that in a million years."987Please respect copyright.PENANAKYgnzRKdem
Everyone continued to 987Please respect copyright.PENANA15YKBLORmG
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 987Please respect copyright.PENANA16HY1DbwYw
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 987Please respect copyright.PENANAd3q2SRCF6B
how annoyed she was.987Please respect copyright.PENANAaEokI4WKa2
"I can't believe you 987Please respect copyright.PENANAdbnx0qSsSA
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 987Please respect copyright.PENANAVHnRbUo9o1
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."987Please respect copyright.PENANAcRmKM8vXWq
"Don't worry, Zoey," 987Please respect copyright.PENANAqG4bh5VTIP
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a987Please respect copyright.PENANAI2sACAowLp
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."987Please respect copyright.PENANA4OvbQoGTzS
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."987Please respect copyright.PENANAK209LNR9aE
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."987Please respect copyright.PENANARcOvXGPNdV
"I'll sting him so bad, 987Please respect copyright.PENANAP92fCXd5Tv
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at987Please respect copyright.PENANAeyVx6lkBZZ
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.987Please respect copyright.PENANA3fCzzYpSSf
"Oh, look, a stage," 987Please respect copyright.PENANApfHr04VE35
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from987Please respect copyright.PENANAmPiliHlXCK
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.987Please respect copyright.PENANAHc0VuzpQau
In the direction Daniel 987Please respect copyright.PENANAGA15dt6JFK
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 987Please respect copyright.PENANAMk3R47pthQ
there and get up on it. We all followed him.987Please respect copyright.PENANAQFRaZudUN8
"I've missed being on 987Please respect copyright.PENANAYU3RlK2T25
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 987Please respect copyright.PENANAN7WiPNAXda
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.987Please respect copyright.PENANAkRd0RZoqXj
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.987Please respect copyright.PENANAeXQHDiMDO6
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.987Please respect copyright.PENANA1aDKREx9Y5
"We're just having fun,"987Please respect copyright.PENANAd2rt5sTJ3H
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.987Please respect copyright.PENANApEaJFvTQfU
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 987Please respect copyright.PENANALTH4vhOqPj
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 987Please respect copyright.PENANAfpbPprI7FR
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 987Please respect copyright.PENANAMT0GU8Xpu4
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.987Please respect copyright.PENANASpwTY2x0LJ
The rest of us down the 987Please respect copyright.PENANAMhakya1kJb
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 987Please respect copyright.PENANA1OHVJk5W1J
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 987Please respect copyright.PENANA8FifXcmrZn
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 987Please respect copyright.PENANAYkyO5oLXKd
side of him was a shocker.987Please respect copyright.PENANAcpE6lSwgcj
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."987Please respect copyright.PENANAmAHsOVrOKs
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.987Please respect copyright.PENANADByeyI7HQk
"Mum would be so proud,"987Please respect copyright.PENANAGzScif0nWX
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 987Please respect copyright.PENANAEd6neERJDu
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."987Please respect copyright.PENANArXP47V3hOf
"Haha, very funny," said987Please respect copyright.PENANAFKVybBg8jJ
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 987Please respect copyright.PENANAVm0oT8nHk6
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAnWhUuqNXgq
I looked at Mike and he 987Please respect copyright.PENANA8w0nNoNWqN
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 987Please respect copyright.PENANAnixnNbiBhT
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 987Please respect copyright.PENANAmfsm7y61s2
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."987Please respect copyright.PENANAqKhPbFkLV1
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."987Please respect copyright.PENANAdeBJRhY9Ts
"I'm still not going to 987Please respect copyright.PENANAxgQ5S9x9A8
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 987Please respect copyright.PENANAKDKJpvKMdF
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."987Please respect copyright.PENANASy5zgrViVc
"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.987Please respect copyright.PENANAgrxrf3q2vo
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.987Please respect copyright.PENANAZWyxTnUytK
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.987Please respect copyright.PENANABM7zOsIlWm
"No," she said still not987Please respect copyright.PENANAWVYlUxjq6A
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 987Please respect copyright.PENANAHcQcmTMlNE
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."987Please respect copyright.PENANAjG7BulOZcB
Everyone turned to look 987Please respect copyright.PENANAPEgWzUgEBC
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 987Please respect copyright.PENANAiDG4pv1nsz
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 987Please respect copyright.PENANAH0OvFP7Htf
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 987Please respect copyright.PENANATqOhNAV2Hu
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger987Please respect copyright.PENANAqeDGYeRiud
was to sweet talk her somehow.987Please respect copyright.PENANAmTlPXduDGJ
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."987Please respect copyright.PENANARKz7smFACs
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.987Please respect copyright.PENANAhTASEsp6Fq
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.987Please respect copyright.PENANA2WfJR47elZ
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAeLuUtIYyRe
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.987Please respect copyright.PENANAMaYJW5gcGk
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."987Please respect copyright.PENANAqH48elWM5m
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.987Please respect copyright.PENANAUUXGAdoL4u
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.987Please respect copyright.PENANAx6nLnMSDev
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.987Please respect copyright.PENANAjQtg8dPCJN
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.987Please respect copyright.PENANAYiJjA15rSw
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.987Please respect copyright.PENANAjtsTznUpmo
I snapped my fingers 987Please respect copyright.PENANATa9NrMtWXw
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 987Please respect copyright.PENANA1FvZtko932
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.987Please respect copyright.PENANALuO02Uf9m7
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 987Please respect copyright.PENANADxxgu9NDwV
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.987Please respect copyright.PENANAjRXnVB83R3
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 987Please respect copyright.PENANACg6UaEAmuy
Lisa: You're sweet like 987Please respect copyright.PENANA6XgVwpUq6G
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]987Please respect copyright.PENANAupvRENaymT
Jennie: You're sweet like 987Please respect copyright.PENANAAZzX97UUX3
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 987Please respect copyright.PENANABgr1mRWYRa
We all ended up giving a987Please respect copyright.PENANAne1p7GkNPA
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 987Please respect copyright.PENANAitOKcnHRQ7
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 987Please respect copyright.PENANA2EQ848fwjE
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 987Please respect copyright.PENANADkCVuhW1S8
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 987Please respect copyright.PENANA0jIRp09NwZ
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.987Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3kfVeuQYC
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.987Please respect copyright.PENANAHXQ9WMI2Ub
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.987Please respect copyright.PENANAnsZLI3XeDC
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.987Please respect copyright.PENANA4vBei2bTk9
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.987Please respect copyright.PENANAnY1D1Lw8Z1
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.987Please respect copyright.PENANA0MsRIvxQHK
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.987Please respect copyright.PENANAshPqlfYiKO
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.987Please respect copyright.PENANAniL57CHboU
Im a fan all day.987Please respect copyright.PENANA7HOY3pK5HD
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.987Please respect copyright.PENANAUkA83kDN4R
My manage behavior; Im into your major.987Please respect copyright.PENANAIkhhE6D5oe
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.987Please respect copyright.PENANAvhap8wmJ5J
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:987Please respect copyright.PENANAOFqf7BOAqq
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.987Please respect copyright.PENANA0BYp6fZY3Y
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.987Please respect copyright.PENANA99dhPXuuff
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.987Please respect copyright.PENANAlBMLr3WFs0
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 987Please respect copyright.PENANAWdg1LwAF3b
The three couples on 987Please respect copyright.PENANA2rcWuef5Gr
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And987Please respect copyright.PENANAcffPyBCWxn
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 987Please respect copyright.PENANAeyeRRSfJAX
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 987Please respect copyright.PENANAhQKAIkIzoB
three couples surrounding me in a circle.987Please respect copyright.PENANADWjhkPhORz
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]987Please respect copyright.PENANAzBN82FBKez
This candy got you sprung [x2]987Please respect copyright.PENANAIIrXivxAna
So call me your sugar [x2]987Please respect copyright.PENANAKPVgIo9TWI
You love you some [x2]987Please respect copyright.PENANAOs0FtaOsjY
I'm sweet like 987Please respect copyright.PENANAjWZKh8AHXm
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 987Please respect copyright.PENANAAb3OIpUkr3
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]987Please respect copyright.PENANAfMdZjfbXXy
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di987Please respect copyright.PENANAavdXHSKw2n
Sugar987Please respect copyright.PENANAXTM0hHBsjv
Seunghoon came up on 987Please respect copyright.PENANAaIBis9eDWX
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 987Please respect copyright.PENANAOC35vk8PSe
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.987Please respect copyright.PENANALeCH8LjhAp
Down stage, Seungyoon 987Please respect copyright.PENANAbrX4yoLy0e
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a987Please respect copyright.PENANAaBqOlBdal0
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 987Please respect copyright.PENANAckP0bZUvUY
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 987Please respect copyright.PENANAvX8Nt9V6ew
all did that simultaneously was awesome.987Please respect copyright.PENANAKXJYxlShuA
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.987Please respect copyright.PENANANzg8TFsiYQ
All: My lips like sugar (x2)987Please respect copyright.PENANADcYqbeMXcW
This candy got you sprung (x2)987Please respect copyright.PENANAMbw9d3z4gg
So call me your sugar (x2)987Please respect copyright.PENANA43dbeJcC0i
You love you some (x2)987Please respect copyright.PENANAwCiPhliewp
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)987Please respect copyright.PENANARXHTmm6lmQ
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 987Please respect copyright.PENANARusB5vCPhC
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di987Please respect copyright.PENANA7WsqdDASfK
Sugar 987Please respect copyright.PENANAFCDF0UpJgk
I987Please respect copyright.PENANA4Va1bHiiQe
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 987Please respect copyright.PENANAp6FTdEvxTl
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 987Please respect copyright.PENANA0nWVj2e5Ym
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 987Please respect copyright.PENANAfQb2BZbdPZ
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 987Please respect copyright.PENANAtj2GVGKaet
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.987Please respect copyright.PENANA5gOTpEFB3N
Onlookers987Please respect copyright.PENANACooD9NJUxp
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 987Please respect copyright.PENANA5g0zmdnHK3
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 987Please respect copyright.PENANAGSbNEmKQiE
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.987Please respect copyright.PENANAcOXAf8wSLb
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.987Please respect copyright.PENANAu4d8zsS11X
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.987Please respect copyright.PENANAFNVa93bgzO
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.987Please respect copyright.PENANAzBuC9WxdhA
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.987Please respect copyright.PENANAvg2UHA8QYA
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.987Please respect copyright.PENANAT8sY2N50qU
"Ya, we really should," I answered.987Please respect copyright.PENANAX7BTVqP1wD
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.987Please respect copyright.PENANA9zK16iwF05
"Take a bow," I said.987Please respect copyright.PENANAJZTSxGZIwy
Zoey who stood next to 987Please respect copyright.PENANAtOq38Hbrn3
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 987Please respect copyright.PENANA7X0QswdCBv
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took987Please respect copyright.PENANAV91iR3R7km
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down987Please respect copyright.PENANAhBR8PvcCfT
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 987Please respect copyright.PENANASCwS36WDoh
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.987Please respect copyright.PENANAQoUS5gCT7Y
"Well, this just got 987Please respect copyright.PENANAxNtYOBTQv5
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 987Please respect copyright.PENANAwtgX4ykTTl
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.987Please respect copyright.PENANArTHGAXvOh4
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."987Please respect copyright.PENANAZroO5Fu1UC
The way Mike said it 987Please respect copyright.PENANAtz7zUH7bfT
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 987Please respect copyright.PENANA1JpuuZeKN4
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 987Please respect copyright.PENANAec1QOABN8d
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.987Please respect copyright.PENANAANhn0RpuXb
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.987Please respect copyright.PENANALfr6KLKTw4
When I got down from the987Please respect copyright.PENANA4r9VMyjvki
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 987Please respect copyright.PENANAk7Dd8JJEdx
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in987Please respect copyright.PENANAUacOKCgRNU
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I987Please respect copyright.PENANArPub8h6B87
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.987Please respect copyright.PENANAJyk9RM93ay
"Well, you guys sure 987Please respect copyright.PENANAXapXK0VYBs
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 987Please respect copyright.PENANAcOv57Bbc0D
had to warn the security before I could even get here."987Please respect copyright.PENANAAie3Y3pobV
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.987Please respect copyright.PENANA0dOE92O3R1
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't987Please respect copyright.PENANAChj8f6M0nY
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 987Please respect copyright.PENANAKhjx5LnEuD
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"987Please respect copyright.PENANA9qcOmwLDAo
"We just missed you, 987Please respect copyright.PENANAuxRSUBYVlF
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually987Please respect copyright.PENANALUmpsz17AJ
with us but these past days you haven't."987Please respect copyright.PENANA5UXTvgV9kJ
"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."987Please respect copyright.PENANAZveGbVjS5u
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.987Please respect copyright.PENANAEP8SrKHgLR
"He would've called by 987Please respect copyright.PENANAIKKZ6kwI8k
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 987Please respect copyright.PENANAuV6pZsnVv1
no calls from the grim reapers yet."987Please respect copyright.PENANAhI40RxbNMy
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.987Please respect copyright.PENANArm3syJBNnx
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAIPqZj2cFqp
Immediately Lee focused 987Please respect copyright.PENANAbcz8yc6STC
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone987Please respect copyright.PENANAwUON6vczs8
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 987Please respect copyright.PENANASz8TwkFr7A
couldn't blame them.987Please respect copyright.PENANABr5XHTKVIv
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.987Please respect copyright.PENANAvK6l7XmGgp
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.987Please respect copyright.PENANAqW1SPp3Xca
"How987Please respect copyright.PENANARIuDv2vtLf
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked987Please respect copyright.PENANAV2mDSxg4eV
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into987Please respect copyright.PENANAo4Nhz3E3m2
your own dance hall."987Please respect copyright.PENANAwp8aFusdqc
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."987Please respect copyright.PENANAhfoVO0Rx8m
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAot7X7nFpXI
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.987Please respect copyright.PENANAcNSMP39FHp
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....987Please respect copyright.PENANAbUpq0OFd0T
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.987Please respect copyright.PENANAf7BQE70CaD
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.987Please respect copyright.PENANAdLN5vnzpzR
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.987Please respect copyright.PENANAABw9cBR8nv
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."987Please respect copyright.PENANAhGAOY37J55
"No,987Please respect copyright.PENANAM8tTUFqgAd
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 987Please respect copyright.PENANASDSG0UsjXT
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell987Please respect copyright.PENANARbSpiajcVj
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"987Please respect copyright.PENANAyh46h4g3l3
"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.987Please respect copyright.PENANA5hoo3KKOYI
"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?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAsylJQYJIPc
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.987Please respect copyright.PENANANMKFcKNA1B
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.987Please respect copyright.PENANAEEH79q1ytk
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.987Please respect copyright.PENANAgbqjsjwMJD
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.987Please respect copyright.PENANABTb8JYAYGA
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.987Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0QyIux1Wx
I987Please respect copyright.PENANAM6cIHf1nbq
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 987Please respect copyright.PENANAEtXYzvcylD
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 987Please respect copyright.PENANATezkQyaPKr
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it987Please respect copyright.PENANAoBSq6rrMss
was a lot to take in.987Please respect copyright.PENANAEXIvqLxMIN
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."987Please respect copyright.PENANAtxBickyvrE
"That's987Please respect copyright.PENANAcYoBHb19iT
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 987Please respect copyright.PENANAvwVe0dJ2gA
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 987Please respect copyright.PENANAGBvsRbQr0p
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 987Please respect copyright.PENANAdXKdqptqyt
still find out anyway."987Please respect copyright.PENANAoySU7SYjhF
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."987Please respect copyright.PENANA6c3QtkrDXd
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.987Please respect copyright.PENANABe9LW6r8WN
Everyone987Please respect copyright.PENANAgsghnm99tO
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 987Please respect copyright.PENANAHSvMUzxPMw
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 987Please respect copyright.PENANA84RwXagOpe
somehow the anxiety was killing me.987Please respect copyright.PENANAng4vsQaJA8
After987Please respect copyright.PENANAZKn5JhPxmS
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan987Please respect copyright.PENANAh15LZN8ra0
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the987Please respect copyright.PENANAjjcz0utdOV
food court when Lee asked:987Please respect copyright.PENANAEvm0CRwgIZ
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAaWrNgS6e8s
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.987Please respect copyright.PENANAB9IqNGNrPt
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.987Please respect copyright.PENANAFg11GoQw8v
"You987Please respect copyright.PENANAPGehNlNumC
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 987Please respect copyright.PENANAszd1CInCut
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 987Please respect copyright.PENANAHxfUteY24V
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."987Please respect copyright.PENANAe0RwUJHW4J
"I987Please respect copyright.PENANA0Wj7U1yfGL
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 987Please respect copyright.PENANAohbFiAyuvH
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 987Please respect copyright.PENANAJjgQ2v6N93
okay."987Please respect copyright.PENANAn9FuvjeEeL
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.987Please respect copyright.PENANAU3VObclsPN
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."987Please respect copyright.PENANAPElVHOp7s2
"You987Please respect copyright.PENANAszBlmtFGY4
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 987Please respect copyright.PENANAOhqPM0XUeN
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 987Please respect copyright.PENANAPxy7ur9mNA
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 987Please respect copyright.PENANAGYz0TQoh47
don't know up to now."987Please respect copyright.PENANAnh7YsblBJO
"BTW987Please respect copyright.PENANASgB9tLZLM3
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I987Please respect copyright.PENANAlSSbtlH3gu
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 987Please respect copyright.PENANAOrtiINrNpl
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 987Please respect copyright.PENANAs14C3tYZEH
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."987Please respect copyright.PENANAwMqgWcjo4m
"I987Please respect copyright.PENANAp63S8dgNde
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 987Please respect copyright.PENANAAav42AhcMh
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 987Please respect copyright.PENANAOcAeHlIXEk
normal human perspective."987Please respect copyright.PENANAKlCJYAhEwa
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."987Please respect copyright.PENANAAuO42CgRTK
"I think she is," said TOP.987Please respect copyright.PENANAfSdBAX0BMT
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.987Please respect copyright.PENANA33uRRcHsL5
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.987Please respect copyright.PENANAbG7IVjyzjW
Zoey987Please respect copyright.PENANA24iy4zIore
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 987Please respect copyright.PENANAQA7x3AKOiS
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.987Please respect copyright.PENANAi0lshy0a7z
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"987Please respect copyright.PENANAJiZSLKJF8y
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.987Please respect copyright.PENANAqvtGVZJy52
Before987Please respect copyright.PENANA5tZOg4xrau
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she987Please respect copyright.PENANAwFT1U5feGf
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 987Please respect copyright.PENANAdbj5C3FKgs
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.987Please respect copyright.PENANAS7Y5IoN6vx
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.987Please respect copyright.PENANA2gfNhltWDD
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.987Please respect copyright.PENANA3b1Sl4EVxP
The987Please respect copyright.PENANAcszNcycOy2
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 987Please respect copyright.PENANA0BvpZKwsU0
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 987Please respect copyright.PENANAZnjW1mXVyx
would never stop fighting no matter what.987Please respect copyright.PENANAsF9I7pGSnv
"I987Please respect copyright.PENANAdnNn5TTRb7
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a987Please respect copyright.PENANA28hn7iiZFj
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 987Please respect copyright.PENANA4rAJPv9Pbf
it's full of drama too."987Please respect copyright.PENANAe5zx1Kx98o
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.987Please respect copyright.PENANAflWro2R07F
"Do987Please respect copyright.PENANA2wFXcR8jYb
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 987Please respect copyright.PENANA6Yvky5D6cf
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 987Please respect copyright.PENANAxJKaVu5zqb
court.987Please respect copyright.PENANA2JJaOdxcCT
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."987Please respect copyright.PENANABen35YPO1i
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."987Please respect copyright.PENANAL5XmMawCo0
"I hope so too," said Christine.987Please respect copyright.PENANAQv0QqHTWuV
"Come987Please respect copyright.PENANASOu14YmiwD
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 987Please respect copyright.PENANA69sHpTMfks
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."987Please respect copyright.PENANAtVTUIpyvXp
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.987Please respect copyright.PENANAFzrOXOonWa
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.987Please respect copyright.PENANAFqNvizHnoo
As987Please respect copyright.PENANATVREhl288c
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning987Please respect copyright.PENANARdX87Hs63D
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 987Please respect copyright.PENANARQm8pbs2bM
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 987Please respect copyright.PENANAUgBMeWVCEj
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 987Please respect copyright.PENANAC7mOvicpVd
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.987Please respect copyright.PENANAdaq8MXGEH2
I987Please respect copyright.PENANAx7MuS1vSER
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 987Please respect copyright.PENANAtDjATneDXq
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might987Please respect copyright.PENANAp80UNLk2aP
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 987Please respect copyright.PENANAwUQKyGpbhk
of the blue may arise.987Please respect copyright.PENANAqotr0y5OG2
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
