Lee's P.O.V1038Please respect copyright.PENANAvhhuUH6KCB
I was so tired as I sat 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAFsxYeNIz4P
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 1038Please respect copyright.PENANANPxIaEtKmf
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA6cWhxkHTPz
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 1038Please respect copyright.PENANARvsnuOeuwY
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA1DEOj3xRVZ
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.1038Please respect copyright.PENANACTWux0TbKV
The past two days have 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAktJrepjJYa
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAjS80aS5jqD
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAFLU7Z1WJGv
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being1038Please respect copyright.PENANAYA8K4Ke1Dq
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAwcUlxEgJ71
complain.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAux7KSTV9qb
Why should I complain? 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAoMXaQyK5io
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhlYRYEGhwY
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAM7H9ergAC0
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA4Xy1QUS1aF
I really love my job. 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAcHhienXax9
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAOKYOAeTy6e
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAg8hHIjc1pu
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAMbQU1XzuXU
Collins is strict and 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA5GbJOykTO8
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAtY1sEu1Mka
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAoKkO51EqCu
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only1038Please respect copyright.PENANAqzqkKjnDNS
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set1038Please respect copyright.PENANAWCBqwDngwf
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 1038Please respect copyright.PENANADxP9VwTQqv
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends1038Please respect copyright.PENANAHpUNrduNP9
over the years.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA2TU325SvSL
And another reason I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAW499zDolFn
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected1038Please respect copyright.PENANACsAnboANxH
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAK6sIRMXY9O
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAiQBRZf1ExX
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA3xVadkgFyQ
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 1038Please respect copyright.PENANACzsdZVMZAv
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAXMoMyuEiEx
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAxBfUduhMmW
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's1038Please respect copyright.PENANAOiaIFQ4X3v
how they have managed to make it this far.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAuHAeqpwqdw
As I remained seated and1038Please respect copyright.PENANAez2iI21YFG
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much1038Please respect copyright.PENANAURazH2XQi7
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAZwoCyyiqAN
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 1038Please respect copyright.PENANArkWCtdUSHC
like that at all.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAquY2IbLtge
Not that I'm acting like1038Please respect copyright.PENANAY9dzpNUcET
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAEocOCIVRLX
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAW0ESBChEeK
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAcOWtOI5k4J
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to1038Please respect copyright.PENANAtDzxoV2i5X
help in any way I can.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAdAK5yyVzoa
I looked at the time on 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAMuOg9pDGgZ
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA1IIXYfNCet
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAoaU75XtYYl
I quickly grabbed my 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA3ihm3dG1MF
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAUZNK6bx4is
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA1RZDQrjkdn
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.1038Please respect copyright.PENANApYnyAIIx9g
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."1038Please respect copyright.PENANABoZEgzrluP
"Ya, we're done with practise."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA8825WmZhjm
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAjj5hUSI62p
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANACACk4QaB86
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAZeRthmKXyf
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAeAaP8zrYJP
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAbMkGKvwHyg
Whatever ounce of 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAd6uHKvDvCk
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAPM0N9QaOp1
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously1038Please respect copyright.PENANAbza0QT2xm6
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAJdmVv9aq0y
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAWHU7HnuqbJ
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAFUsFt7Fy8F
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."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAwUHEpRpSNA
"Is Collins with you?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAqCOwatCibH
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAKe3hGKb9lk
"Good. I've something else to tell you."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAv8nBQ1FICX
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAjWHhM8bTk7
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."1038Please respect copyright.PENANARZXnEV4GSM
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAKSEs7r084J
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA1ppJ6j4W5r
"Tell me then," I insisted.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAbfWGYGeyEB
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."1038Please respect copyright.PENANALjGDO0D8GX
"Did you and TOP kiss?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAdXy00v3uTO
"What! No! No way!"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAnrjfobcSPd
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAn9FU7qHJod
"What makes you think that?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANA8aJCLEX8h8
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAWFCiFs6wtR
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAaw99bJ97Z0
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAtuXg3hSD37
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAeT3uiZ6g4Q
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAXZmK0au8dE
"Try me, Sam. I've been 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAErENUva9ze
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAmyB3rZ1mnK
on that I won't be surprised this time around."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAB4Q5ZrM6Ys
"No, Lee, this time it's different."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAII2JDKDVjx
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA16o470V4Ov
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1Cxksol0E
Before Sam could say 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA1ad6lYj3YK
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAmcjIm9bYg4
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAnOSilduomq
quickly realised that it wasn't.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA7qNn2cbruV
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAuninv9LmYx
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAPjHJptCOzB
"What the what! Sam! 1038Please respect copyright.PENANATq1hRUytGo
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAPxGMFOnP7J
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAyGmZbdh2Jz
"Wait, hold on, give me a1038Please respect copyright.PENANA46aWquYKf0
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAuj5I2x5WkC
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA1cxXy2H8xN
tell you."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA5E04CFrH9S
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANA2hnoBnVsyn
"Seunghoon from WINNER."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAMoGP4h5jmN
I thought the world 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAPHCrJU77jg
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt1038Please respect copyright.PENANAfyIVefpRty
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.1038Please respect copyright.PENANADFMh2FoBep
"Sam, I'm going to faint1038Please respect copyright.PENANAXdMG2CK5gJ
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAagFFOAvoFC
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAQzdQbqeCVO
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAb2XVaa0nfv
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA3newa6f9xV
"I know, but I've a plan."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAMX1qi7PJt5
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAYzWDy3WcZ0
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA2uUNukrFx6
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAtOvGoEwlfK
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAyYxXhWCuM5
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA24AHb5EWIn
"Or you can just join in1038Please respect copyright.PENANABwp5LYhACN
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Lqok7NbR
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA4KHskCkg3r
"Okay, I'll be there. 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAtsiYXEMvsW
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAbDJhsGvKuk
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA0mgSR6ie3P
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAPtLY4DneNH
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAp5RCxZZEU4
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."1038Please respect copyright.PENANATrKIV2N4Fa
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."1038Please respect copyright.PENANATw2aIapUqv
"Alright, I'm on my way."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAlwLZvBLg4U
I quickly cut the call 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAtgLrngnbKU
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 1038Please respect copyright.PENANASRDLKGx2zS
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 1038Please respect copyright.PENANANWtJ6pJ9PU
the trending list, I was a little confused.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAAfEnzBkBuT
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAk58v0tfkUl
***1038Please respect copyright.PENANAdArLFSQX1d
Sam's P.O.V1038Please respect copyright.PENANARlVELbvAg6
I1038Please respect copyright.PENANAaZPpx5fHMc
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAQZiVYqWHJN
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA9pssFMpIDh
the fans.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAL80fdBBzY7
Since1038Please respect copyright.PENANAZFCW7CBIIH
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAdvr9vRrb3S
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAXlCnPZz3Wk
massive Times Square complex.1038Please respect copyright.PENANApU72QCA0nm
So1038Please respect copyright.PENANATI8YnMvKOf
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAxrm8gE6TNK
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6dmtsnCUr
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAHPLEP8aO53
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAE2p0zLiDA3
serious.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAjqgiJCl4GL
"It's1038Please respect copyright.PENANATPnTjCLaa7
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA7Mc5DqyFEy
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAZeSCmbNDzK
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAmoskLIoKhl
I1038Please respect copyright.PENANAjIrDn3A3up
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAyKlhxWfNFC
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAwcdsKIV7lm
somewhat worrying.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAvAhakxAIys
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAFa0AmPju9L
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAbER3AZQOUC
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAky2hw1dhee
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAHm74LddpnK
"You're right. I do."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAqmZJQ4vbXH
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAwgUq1fWbHL
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA86iYUpTXg8
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA0asf28kiQo
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAEWMqiH34Kc
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.1038Please respect copyright.PENANACL0dfcZAOq
"You're1038Please respect copyright.PENANAOgbhsHFWsE
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAcr1TMLvWxM
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA1jIQJ0gOS7
around here."1038Please respect copyright.PENANASUtACeY0qs
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA9WgOMqupyh
"Who said we need to 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAAcJcdYeOFI
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 1038Please respect copyright.PENANANFEng6UwPX
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhfOyYvOGRe
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAShJbzOPm4Y
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAjAgmDXFbbP
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAE2NkVY1z7y
"Where?" Zoey asked.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAepBPRV1sQB
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAn04l29C2H7
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAMbVWU3fcwy
"Wait, a minute!" I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAiz9gutTmjk
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhjXPrW4THA
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAgrgpBrJWSI
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAq8U0tAujZR
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhKMENbEVun
"Did someone just say 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA3uOdId7L5D
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAXGUeFFss82
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAIIUuNjkKao
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAQXn6n9GZEl
"You're doing that thing1038Please respect copyright.PENANAW7HOFvGldh
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAOYcG7edKa2
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA4uMyZ1uN7A
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAnTjXXNa3fR
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA97vn5RqMT2
"Ya, true," said Mike.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAzgqyNTUHwd
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAydl3Bx6477
"I'm not going to 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAarGUNuXfLQ
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and1038Please respect copyright.PENANACaqVLPefpr
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAu2j7qpbt8V
"No, I'm scared that 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAGIt24CuOoh
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 1038Please respect copyright.PENANABCv5UTVfJO
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAXQV4RSMjSV
I looked at Zoey, then 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAcMUXcJ98Xu
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAEoIq9yUw3d
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAaWzYXz5Wzw
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready1038Please respect copyright.PENANAm0Hwj0b3l3
for that bumpy ride again.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAgFLef2Nr2e
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAqHfhsmslCj
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAj54TwnG3Ro
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA7SYQl53P19
Daniel's mouth gaped 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAOKLOIoHMW8
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 1038Please respect copyright.PENANASbWmEtoQED
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAWEHNgJYewF
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAy6EFvEP0s6
"Well, I think we can 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAfwsnPiGKVU
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so1038Please respect copyright.PENANAxWj6K5ZQ0T
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA3Fqh4ef3m5
"Same here," said Mino.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAnG8dkx4LV4
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAdMMWW8uCd4
Everyone including me 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAqdGEf8PRMU
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhEeJWQy0T3
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAg5VU7pQ6YG
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in1038Please respect copyright.PENANA05Rh1gVdwS
Times Square.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAp0aUkyUqoc
"There's an open food 1038Please respect copyright.PENANASR8Kf9jqGQ
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAoeaJy4M4eS
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAvP7GswKOyY
"Gosh, I've now realised1038Please respect copyright.PENANAgF3xffjl7z
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhCtgPc8H7V
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAuxefVqDsgn
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAHui8Xjpvug
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."1038Please respect copyright.PENANACxplnY73uS
"No wonder you Toxins 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAEzUQ61ij5v
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 1038Please respect copyright.PENANApxulHjkNxG
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAA68fGPPOaN
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAHG1UpQlHGY
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAXLYGqCchAO
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."1038Please respect copyright.PENANArLEk0Bd46E
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAMb51FjEake
Zoey, Christine and the 1038Please respect copyright.PENANANQrghxKNJJ
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA9m4QplJX8H
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAoSwwtdJa2y
going.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA4CjQStQ5P3
"That's insulting," said Jennie.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAsk41ygFK0R
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.1038Please respect copyright.PENANABd27Jkosyg
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAPO8il6jXQA
I burst out laughing 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAv3j0zxfM3U
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAZF0D4EOVcH
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAEUGu6uSrnU
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 1038Please respect copyright.PENANADuLDw6s5TP
other floors because that would surly be something.1038Please respect copyright.PENANASTcpQ3x8X2
"Good one, TOP," said 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAoBvLBIvrXb
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAgiyZOMjoON
have thought of that in a million years."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA9PE8pNnFNV
Everyone continued to 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAbaV7WHcRbO
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAEWwrnXP18V
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAifCFDLLd9Y
how annoyed she was.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAaT2CmkZqEL
"I can't believe you 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA5cW98jGxG4
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAWlo69gOrIw
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAb50UOfNHcH
"Don't worry, Zoey," 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA1EFiVvgJVo
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a1038Please respect copyright.PENANAFt0o65nwlC
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAyZDFzBBuvC
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."1038Please respect copyright.PENANABsrax8qSlo
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAQ42xgSQHjw
"I'll sting him so bad, 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA37UCT7Havw
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at1038Please respect copyright.PENANAcYb6sK9MHE
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAML1uI4o86D
"Oh, look, a stage," 1038Please respect copyright.PENANALBgw1gGK2E
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from1038Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z1o3KBm7l
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAfNVeo7zBwx
In the direction Daniel 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAcwN0jI1f2b
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ8MTdeeO1
there and get up on it. We all followed him.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAW3LgUz7UuI
"I've missed being on 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0yepX6REI
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAt56sBVj2hd
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAPCH89Xc32m
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA336eccIE5l
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAdHd9SEI6JX
"We're just having fun,"1038Please respect copyright.PENANArkxMxiBg14
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAja9tCzlukq
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA4GDZP6n0pL
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAQpEhfC6ONl
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAFN2L5iylDx
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAU1azxwyff0
The rest of us down the 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA5dlMTZo3Y2
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAWr8400hF7B
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAqJKXwg7KKt
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAymbdJtSLGZ
side of him was a shocker.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAg9GF7FRNpM
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAqnvXijxkB6
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAYq91pUZ5Vv
"Mum would be so proud,"1038Please respect copyright.PENANArwannHbYh2
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA9XJuW61gqC
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAFsEDhWY4Vp
"Haha, very funny," said1038Please respect copyright.PENANAP2bqGsUeu2
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAt6B4sDUV2K
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAMp62Zxxzsk
I looked at Mike and he 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA3sRvVJQPUb
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAOSW3fOicgQ
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAYLtXzmuMWf
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAsbftFB3na7
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAXg4W8t4nHi
"I'm still not going to 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAFMpvSAPlMc
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhtmjv1zU3I
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAD1lFD7jP4W
"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.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAzj7nk5299r
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAwpHy0xAKA7
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAgeSCqAUOjM
"No," she said still not1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhAmPV2nJrl
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 1038Please respect copyright.PENANADSmDv3xSF6
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA94CWgXj3y0
Everyone turned to look 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAKDZ5lrZOcg
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAsgE8aybdaA
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAMP4VhWlJcz
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA4ShS3XjuJ1
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger1038Please respect copyright.PENANATRyvBzqEnW
was to sweet talk her somehow.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAxDEjtDX8yj
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAWiX2xxP50x
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAZV3QmiCb8F
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZE4XL0afs
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAicIwqFR6uH
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhRPlNWbWXm
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAY9D76t4jIf
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhHzVAuAldZ
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAAnYL7GGVDq
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAW0PTgxe6Ay
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAQRv5lcl4QO
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAgxZEoIHEgZ
I snapped my fingers 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9Weox7aa8
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 1038Please respect copyright.PENANApjKHLd1BhM
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA6cMGD823Mj
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAwU1AM56rxj
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAbCqZKGrIWt
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAleFZe4wFVy
Lisa: You're sweet like 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAPxXwsaE22v
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]1038Please respect copyright.PENANANPQxwqaFDg
Jennie: You're sweet like 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAaf7maA5vpl
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhEkF5jrYoO
We all ended up giving a1038Please respect copyright.PENANANDJiSbjmgx
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAvPeSYXpavI
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA01Uwc5fGbD
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAn2hN7yxcbw
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAp9PnYJ50Zx
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAmsbAaoh1Yd
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.1038Please respect copyright.PENANARSVLPNJ0rk
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAJYSuCB5Hdv
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAWW5K2tvk86
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAwLfyFfOejk
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAiAfKBF5YkI
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAXCCFGRzq19
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAd1QA2mW2mh
Im a fan all day.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAw8zWa2F68t
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAUD2U5PHg1a
My manage behavior; Im into your major.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAbtyXlKNcuH
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAH3uIvN220U
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:1038Please respect copyright.PENANAAdQ8AcoBet
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAxTP2yo9zbt
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAZRTj3plC4R
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAJuq58GzqTD
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAk1Ew9NbYlh
The three couples on 1038Please respect copyright.PENANApZvzHUYURa
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And1038Please respect copyright.PENANAS1u7ea9azH
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAsg10hmkoCV
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhuDPjqjmpX
three couples surrounding me in a circle.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAI2gTl9PazD
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]1038Please respect copyright.PENANAN8pwgXhR4G
This candy got you sprung [x2]1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhUF2VPE97o
So call me your sugar [x2]1038Please respect copyright.PENANA9A5RTAihyx
You love you some [x2]1038Please respect copyright.PENANAuLEo7guIf5
I'm sweet like 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA3dnINkdunG
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1038Please respect copyright.PENANATOv6nxjcRw
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]1038Please respect copyright.PENANAz38ernvoOQ
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1038Please respect copyright.PENANArAxwZnDMHT
Sugar1038Please respect copyright.PENANAA9s5OQNxwY
Seunghoon came up on 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAUgd6I2E6w1
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAa484oHk5IA
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAuriZYv4XqC
Down stage, Seungyoon 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ra0yJoeG9
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a1038Please respect copyright.PENANA4SzRlGeKs6
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAzZpnb2uGcq
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAbzFwbFjXum
all did that simultaneously was awesome.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA6J8TZRMS6B
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.1038Please respect copyright.PENANASHNPj0gfAD
All: My lips like sugar (x2)1038Please respect copyright.PENANAau03pQKcHY
This candy got you sprung (x2)1038Please respect copyright.PENANAjxcxQfJK1U
So call me your sugar (x2)1038Please respect copyright.PENANA2lZuEb7xiJ
You love you some (x2)1038Please respect copyright.PENANAT0a1bOAy7q
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)1038Please respect copyright.PENANA6t5NlGzxRc
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAcTluGCFIaf
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1038Please respect copyright.PENANAuACXybLMPw
Sugar 1038Please respect copyright.PENANANKuYTeCOH0
I1038Please respect copyright.PENANAwV4OCD09gG
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAYbLxzi2rET
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA1ikI4VdZi4
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA9S5PhVRQE3
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAb9W3fH1BOv
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.1038Please respect copyright.PENANASmhC2MmaC9
Onlookers1038Please respect copyright.PENANAsW1BigLMw9
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAzus6b1OF6m
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhVLV08WBbn
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAk87X4KuEZH
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAHx1rE5un5y
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAR9ZB55euSr
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.1038Please respect copyright.PENANARSV7Txy5Id
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhOX385Hp9F
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAwRq5EUJa5T
"Ya, we really should," I answered.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAqPnIh4UnCD
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.1038Please respect copyright.PENANArHVYMjuQ3N
"Take a bow," I said.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA2ycgs9AGr2
Zoey who stood next to 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA77VcuetAK2
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 1038Please respect copyright.PENANADJK5QTBEim
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took1038Please respect copyright.PENANAVdpMjMk86f
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down1038Please respect copyright.PENANAtECebCCmfw
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAH9lQEbwsnj
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAKhvOZyrHAf
"Well, this just got 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAHUfa7kKb9X
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 1038Please respect copyright.PENANABYv3t25oEq
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAL6PsFihOge
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA8eHaUW1LZQ
The way Mike said it 1038Please respect copyright.PENANATEKomVOU3w
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAIe8PKsLS70
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 1038Please respect copyright.PENANATPSfRgJnRY
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.1038Please respect copyright.PENANASczwGPUFhU
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAdKHindLOUA
When I got down from the1038Please respect copyright.PENANA1AL8RYh6sY
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAAqfG1M0RO8
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in1038Please respect copyright.PENANAmGc1ojayyx
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I1038Please respect copyright.PENANAarriYbgGpl
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAp3fUpnKcDF
"Well, you guys sure 1038Please respect copyright.PENANARCkcMKTBql
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAlc76ZvUdWI
had to warn the security before I could even get here."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAdsMLKuV9ys
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAMXsZZU1GyB
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't1038Please respect copyright.PENANAeo1o7ZvAwt
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAdWYiwA2WQi
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAtupKcERgTN
"We just missed you, 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAbWh5iK1Qk0
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually1038Please respect copyright.PENANAOsvC0HxFEM
with us but these past days you haven't."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAeMnhgTve6S
"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."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAKcnxK3GwIh
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAOAXtazhEDq
"He would've called by 1038Please respect copyright.PENANARoUAVcnv4h
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAGLh9VNPqnb
no calls from the grim reapers yet."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAyCUGv2hGEy
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAETktMRf025
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANA44halaJUkq
Immediately Lee focused 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAASs0XYYwZP
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone1038Please respect copyright.PENANA18eBCvgUVc
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 1038Please respect copyright.PENANADhC45pLRoS
couldn't blame them.1038Please respect copyright.PENANACDWJ10hwmu
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAgc6nVeLMqW
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.1038Please respect copyright.PENANACR2D6ulxaS
"How1038Please respect copyright.PENANAp4dhXpHSkr
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked1038Please respect copyright.PENANAsuiNqoamqH
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into1038Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ31QpeSMV
your own dance hall."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAKZpM6fM63V
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAtu9Yr9ui7u
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANA3TYIJtL3jF
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA8SxAK9fBCM
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhzVtI5wILE
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.1038Please respect copyright.PENANASXmt6fOPXP
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA9TaoqydfHv
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAe1FfJtUo1Y
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAI8HPfoQ8VA
"No,1038Please respect copyright.PENANAomhGcSY7lP
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAvFcEMAymQp
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell1038Please respect copyright.PENANAiIrosStcml
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAXUHeLhn87s
"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.1038Please respect copyright.PENANATOOzGTiq2f
"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?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAeT3rwIiDdU
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.1038Please respect copyright.PENANANTbFLTlj69
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAgHMf4a8Iz2
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAwTm2tRDoxq
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.1038Please respect copyright.PENANACHaiDE2msN
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAqp4b07tvJB
I1038Please respect copyright.PENANAuOSoGviXAJ
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA1ImCEWkLmd
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAZLp03oUCrg
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it1038Please respect copyright.PENANAI3nP26yOxa
was a lot to take in.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA784VAWOuA8
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA5qCNkQvWDr
"That's1038Please respect copyright.PENANAElKjUJx7fl
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8znD9eIOg
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAeWZiVl30P0
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAJEu7NQCwG8
still find out anyway."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAve9XmNw6GU
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAOHicaDWOsy
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAUv9rzTsjhJ
Everyone1038Please respect copyright.PENANAY5nYZj8UYr
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAQq7WRu7hs0
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA40RVqB434C
somehow the anxiety was killing me.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAj8pG8BcX4U
After1038Please respect copyright.PENANAks1bVFGmvx
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan1038Please respect copyright.PENANArpAnvg36lt
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the1038Please respect copyright.PENANAHS7Akxddwd
food court when Lee asked:1038Please respect copyright.PENANAuWWIbvytfO
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAuwVe0PF5sm
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAH8mbErn4Ld
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAoMuexpcJzC
"You1038Please respect copyright.PENANAtb7fiJ6o93
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAGj6Sph2tMB
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAdYbP38SOHT
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAHKr4k2XeTi
"I1038Please respect copyright.PENANAuGIeHqQfld
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 1038Please respect copyright.PENANApnZbeeNBoY
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAcOhX4bxmsS
okay."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAPJBnnFTjJm
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAQUfuS1UxLl
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAVKIQsuwfrt
"You1038Please respect copyright.PENANAagzq7L9B1I
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q05XRvAzf
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA6W2UhYtDGN
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAJx52sKCGaJ
don't know up to now."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAq738sNjJli
"BTW1038Please respect copyright.PENANA5s4Xs34mPc
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I1038Please respect copyright.PENANA4MBSjX9buf
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA2w5HALDDxS
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAWxe4pQmSUj
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAac00jEnFif
"I1038Please respect copyright.PENANAG2tlnY9Y8N
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAKpetdgXqZ0
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 1038Please respect copyright.PENANARvF1DQhC5r
normal human perspective."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAYu7Hi2LMrz
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAWCiEStQ8vz
"I think she is," said TOP.1038Please respect copyright.PENANADE7SJdWGZI
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dv8q4mwCF
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAlS4uaj4SJO
Zoey1038Please respect copyright.PENANAhhotDGdaEA
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA6bKFAkAEKp
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z6WoKmA26
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"1038Please respect copyright.PENANAyP3KbhTi8e
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAUsCX44KGBR
Before1038Please respect copyright.PENANAVDtCzZcKbf
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she1038Please respect copyright.PENANA8kBdVd19Rs
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAabBk2yG9SA
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAE0C3DhWYuo
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAAyIfQZKKoS
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.1038Please respect copyright.PENANA4g71VvONdD
The1038Please respect copyright.PENANAywdJGb03dL
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAkLdyIwNx4O
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA95NC95tmnN
would never stop fighting no matter what.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAVLNC9Ve5Uu
"I1038Please respect copyright.PENANA7FENH437My
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a1038Please respect copyright.PENANAopr4GIeryU
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAR1vavHvND2
it's full of drama too."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAdfUESf0IEC
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAahPm7xCTvM
"Do1038Please respect copyright.PENANAWI6YP264tf
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAk8Vyv8jpsJ
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA8NzRc2eFMA
court.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAldxchXCToM
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAPsha2aCmPh
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."1038Please respect copyright.PENANAL6qS4vMQ2Q
"I hope so too," said Christine.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAGmUj4uEqMS
"Come1038Please respect copyright.PENANAMiwkWRD1d9
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAn3YDoT6wyc
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."1038Please respect copyright.PENANA7QisDnueb1
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAPnnMl2jNDF
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAMF4nIa2d7g
As1038Please respect copyright.PENANAHPpqBrUvUV
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning1038Please respect copyright.PENANAzxuHXR5rnv
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAyfDEjR7DwK
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAxYmAjDnl76
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 1038Please respect copyright.PENANA1KEcORaaZJ
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.1038Please respect copyright.PENANAubaCGn2mfg
I1038Please respect copyright.PENANAfvzCOcFQHD
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAzKE37yOsNa
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might1038Please respect copyright.PENANAO42XSpaTqg
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 1038Please respect copyright.PENANAj3ZU3Ahjlx
of the blue may arise.1038Please respect copyright.PENANANtSEB8vCIA
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
