Lee's P.O.V682Please respect copyright.PENANAHnTm6HkSdx
I was so tired as I sat 682Please respect copyright.PENANAQJTNLLESuP
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 682Please respect copyright.PENANAmaM9PInap3
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 682Please respect copyright.PENANADVHYzOlJXu
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 682Please respect copyright.PENANAGm2xhrmFbk
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 682Please respect copyright.PENANAMhy3Y3v9iq
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.682Please respect copyright.PENANA4Zx4X7KfQe
The past two days have 682Please respect copyright.PENANAHPyuMD0tBP
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 682Please respect copyright.PENANAzxIgyGrZ0l
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 682Please respect copyright.PENANA4tzHm7mWCm
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being682Please respect copyright.PENANAFRyod6UyTa
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 682Please respect copyright.PENANA3otRMGsuOs
complain.682Please respect copyright.PENANA0fX8nCoqtv
Why should I complain? 682Please respect copyright.PENANAX3D0X8cPUr
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when682Please respect copyright.PENANAEVerGGb5cz
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 682Please respect copyright.PENANAc5EKelgBDC
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.682Please respect copyright.PENANAO6I4bFNpv8
I really love my job. 682Please respect copyright.PENANAW1JYSvsHyO
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.682Please respect copyright.PENANAex0ednnxeW
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 682Please respect copyright.PENANABlxZsJ5PWd
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.682Please respect copyright.PENANAIBVFnfiWM8
Collins is strict and 682Please respect copyright.PENANATD2ANv0J1D
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 682Please respect copyright.PENANAcDztvQf3Qa
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 682Please respect copyright.PENANAo9ShmarIWe
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only682Please respect copyright.PENANAqgoHrQTlSN
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set682Please respect copyright.PENANAb3NEBm2OLX
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 682Please respect copyright.PENANAw7QUUYSS9M
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends682Please respect copyright.PENANA8EynrlPvwe
over the years.682Please respect copyright.PENANAdOL4WJosGj
And another reason I 682Please respect copyright.PENANAC4qjOEukCv
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected682Please respect copyright.PENANAx7pQNhrtQC
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 682Please respect copyright.PENANAcVWAAhyr6c
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 682Please respect copyright.PENANAEEGLT9gplv
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 682Please respect copyright.PENANApAXI1zcZU0
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 682Please respect copyright.PENANAbS0GlJAwsH
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 682Please respect copyright.PENANAZXZQxl6jrq
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 682Please respect copyright.PENANAmTgSx18MA9
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's682Please respect copyright.PENANAbXVDbGk3Hy
how they have managed to make it this far.682Please respect copyright.PENANAsWLHcDULko
As I remained seated and682Please respect copyright.PENANA0bqj1RmFPc
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much682Please respect copyright.PENANAjqqHavW6tx
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 682Please respect copyright.PENANAMeAkk1xS4B
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 682Please respect copyright.PENANAyAGVtBfURw
like that at all.682Please respect copyright.PENANA1diqp0zvyB
Not that I'm acting like682Please respect copyright.PENANAzUC8RIsDLn
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 682Please respect copyright.PENANAkSCH8SXDMT
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 682Please respect copyright.PENANAmoZ3XRZcOT
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 682Please respect copyright.PENANAJqZuOacCGA
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to682Please respect copyright.PENANAvIb05ckvLR
help in any way I can.682Please respect copyright.PENANAq67dF4jJat
I looked at the time on 682Please respect copyright.PENANA2UZZBb6jAP
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 682Please respect copyright.PENANAM3yI5lL9aZ
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.682Please respect copyright.PENANA2IVwv82yiP
I quickly grabbed my 682Please respect copyright.PENANA2GbzxMWIJP
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 682Please respect copyright.PENANA2v9hfKxfpS
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.682Please respect copyright.PENANAUb5d4ZIkJN
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.682Please respect copyright.PENANAjFQfMrWq8O
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."682Please respect copyright.PENANAP1H0sjMfDL
"Ya, we're done with practise."682Please respect copyright.PENANAvgqrvdUYnZ
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.682Please respect copyright.PENANAdih0cRRW8T
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAfSK8uA923A
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."682Please respect copyright.PENANAiJiFOmywld
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAls2lBIFlw4
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."682Please respect copyright.PENANAqW0GZCSOPo
Whatever ounce of 682Please respect copyright.PENANAgbsgXP2EFP
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 682Please respect copyright.PENANA3zD7Q0tunR
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously682Please respect copyright.PENANAfxYUO5boGx
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.682Please respect copyright.PENANAuePPuNyg1r
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.682Please respect copyright.PENANAs4NF0c5DL4
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."682Please respect copyright.PENANAiK1z5anwvN
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."682Please respect copyright.PENANA7hbFnbJTIO
"Is Collins with you?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAur0ZSy4xFj
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."682Please respect copyright.PENANANVy3eAK4us
"Good. I've something else to tell you."682Please respect copyright.PENANArywNzcCZX4
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"682Please respect copyright.PENANA60baffe56X
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."682Please respect copyright.PENANAFSXZitPri4
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."682Please respect copyright.PENANAMAtmilb2mR
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."682Please respect copyright.PENANAwXQPeNfIXC
"Tell me then," I insisted.682Please respect copyright.PENANAxSa4C3ieCf
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."682Please respect copyright.PENANANXMHH7LQ8d
"Did you and TOP kiss?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAZeNyTNh3z4
"What! No! No way!"682Please respect copyright.PENANArYNBjofeQG
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."682Please respect copyright.PENANAhGb6XXTVit
"What makes you think that?"682Please respect copyright.PENANACDFnpKumt5
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."682Please respect copyright.PENANAZWp2z7wp2N
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."682Please respect copyright.PENANArJu4n7HXsl
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAEwVP9qKk0s
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.682Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ9dKyuvAF
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."682Please respect copyright.PENANAPYmfK4oUR9
"Try me, Sam. I've been 682Please respect copyright.PENANAJvPtu915kv
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 682Please respect copyright.PENANAYxHEvNoIwy
on that I won't be surprised this time around."682Please respect copyright.PENANAS3lVDvpuGr
"No, Lee, this time it's different."682Please respect copyright.PENANAOAAOJJvs3M
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."682Please respect copyright.PENANAt57oNkQGR5
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."682Please respect copyright.PENANADOqpqBj4jr
Before Sam could say 682Please respect copyright.PENANAdQAyNLccUm
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 682Please respect copyright.PENANATbEg3gxFes
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 682Please respect copyright.PENANAX7ugPKgjUV
quickly realised that it wasn't.682Please respect copyright.PENANAPEWQLthDsJ
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.682Please respect copyright.PENANAV3ET1qvCjS
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.682Please respect copyright.PENANA02KBY15hmI
"What the what! Sam! 682Please respect copyright.PENANAvbmiv55cXV
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 682Please respect copyright.PENANA3ynOp0s2nE
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.682Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZolSNIliW
"Wait, hold on, give me a682Please respect copyright.PENANAoqQHpQ6Pe9
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 682Please respect copyright.PENANA98zqNZ6O14
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 682Please respect copyright.PENANAJEazINGI6l
tell you."682Please respect copyright.PENANAV7DjOD8K6Z
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAbFwMqwZo4B
"Seunghoon from WINNER."682Please respect copyright.PENANAn1iYCshh1J
I thought the world 682Please respect copyright.PENANArzeSXjhMu6
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt682Please respect copyright.PENANAHxmUBzX16v
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.682Please respect copyright.PENANADGt7uEZCrK
"Sam, I'm going to faint682Please respect copyright.PENANA7mpNQk8VS7
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 682Please respect copyright.PENANA7eaa9KPIVf
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAIZOXjC6IBv
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."682Please respect copyright.PENANADaaw3Yd5F2
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."682Please respect copyright.PENANAMTiWvjUzp2
"I know, but I've a plan."682Please respect copyright.PENANA7YAumRRsop
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAfZWojJIAuZ
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."682Please respect copyright.PENANAP6pHke2Cu4
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAXrK1a6ruEk
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."682Please respect copyright.PENANArU9ylED1Vk
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."682Please respect copyright.PENANAQctyUYvrAg
"Or you can just join in682Please respect copyright.PENANAasOlIQ498p
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 682Please respect copyright.PENANAwLPMGDPyRJ
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."682Please respect copyright.PENANAsG3q18yzvC
"Okay, I'll be there. 682Please respect copyright.PENANAIicVpbu7NY
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 682Please respect copyright.PENANAYHALmMM8Ak
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 682Please respect copyright.PENANAZGJnySbx2v
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAksWtkg2hC1
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."682Please respect copyright.PENANAVl5Goc70PF
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."682Please respect copyright.PENANA4kc3qmr7Dp
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."682Please respect copyright.PENANAKbuaL5ReZM
"Alright, I'm on my way."682Please respect copyright.PENANAtw29Vq0Wmy
I quickly cut the call 682Please respect copyright.PENANAOZrH06hosj
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 682Please respect copyright.PENANAiFNTTaJQBP
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 682Please respect copyright.PENANAWr4kafWyon
the trending list, I was a little confused.682Please respect copyright.PENANAZNvi3aZaWJ
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.682Please respect copyright.PENANAgQUrPMnBMJ
***682Please respect copyright.PENANABW9n4FFhsb
Sam's P.O.V682Please respect copyright.PENANAUBtlNfnS7O
I682Please respect copyright.PENANAcXirYGefxV
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 682Please respect copyright.PENANAyC5v1dYckc
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 682Please respect copyright.PENANAMBNIOrFdkF
the fans.682Please respect copyright.PENANAMwdvXhcgpH
Since682Please respect copyright.PENANAu77Pz7sS8f
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 682Please respect copyright.PENANAxsQd6yVtBE
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 682Please respect copyright.PENANAfUqjhSTqFO
massive Times Square complex.682Please respect copyright.PENANAOgQ7tvk1tl
So682Please respect copyright.PENANAj0BwgtgrA4
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 682Please respect copyright.PENANAwib4gB2o3n
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 682Please respect copyright.PENANAaxT1ECDiQF
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 682Please respect copyright.PENANAznT2utVMKI
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 682Please respect copyright.PENANAiQmzTo0t70
serious.682Please respect copyright.PENANA48i1061NGR
"It's682Please respect copyright.PENANAZqjTu6cqN7
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 682Please respect copyright.PENANAMZTTBjq2Mk
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 682Please respect copyright.PENANANfOqMwKbZu
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."682Please respect copyright.PENANAGFnnX1rPCl
I682Please respect copyright.PENANAhKbW5fbFjA
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 682Please respect copyright.PENANAfJy0giW521
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 682Please respect copyright.PENANA9VIFxcr8DJ
somewhat worrying.682Please respect copyright.PENANAdortuTB8Y8
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."682Please respect copyright.PENANAv62vpNuai3
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.682Please respect copyright.PENANAMBaBY4Hhsr
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."682Please respect copyright.PENANA66JklxuiCi
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.682Please respect copyright.PENANAMEjkvNJOsL
"You're right. I do."682Please respect copyright.PENANADMqDmTVb4Z
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.682Please respect copyright.PENANA5ovwcvXmZJ
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."682Please respect copyright.PENANAWla20vHKxu
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.682Please respect copyright.PENANAbxGtT6YELr
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.682Please respect copyright.PENANAt1jwUhGQpW
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.682Please respect copyright.PENANANSWaBYafdh
"You're682Please respect copyright.PENANAYWb6FtwA2p
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 682Please respect copyright.PENANAsUjTBO7NfV
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 682Please respect copyright.PENANAK0yGsZg0MS
around here."682Please respect copyright.PENANA304ZYWDWh3
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.682Please respect copyright.PENANAL04GW2aiq4
"Who said we need to 682Please respect copyright.PENANAIGnx86RKvy
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 682Please respect copyright.PENANAOLU0ngjVt2
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."682Please respect copyright.PENANAGaao4VIQwP
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."682Please respect copyright.PENANA0GxIkS30ot
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.682Please respect copyright.PENANAr62c3NvBxl
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.682Please respect copyright.PENANAxZwzxAtPJX
"Where?" Zoey asked.682Please respect copyright.PENANABcunt6Oogv
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAvDIl9QDULh
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.682Please respect copyright.PENANAQI3Sjly84t
"Wait, a minute!" I 682Please respect copyright.PENANAGfYdSFUibN
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 682Please respect copyright.PENANAFWbrGMwZm4
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."682Please respect copyright.PENANAih2Bv5BKGW
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.682Please respect copyright.PENANAxOBaJrl21X
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"682Please respect copyright.PENANA1fhE1Ol5MV
"Did someone just say 682Please respect copyright.PENANAhcJRxxK8Xh
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 682Please respect copyright.PENANASuccSctJIh
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1gFxMljHs
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.682Please respect copyright.PENANAczBYLMSiLv
"You're doing that thing682Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qc9AeVCYd
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 682Please respect copyright.PENANAcS2pihvGr5
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."682Please respect copyright.PENANAmJBTWrElji
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."682Please respect copyright.PENANAjQmMcwF5tF
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."682Please respect copyright.PENANA94DhtPOXJG
"Ya, true," said Mike.682Please respect copyright.PENANASKKrrjXlBG
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"682Please respect copyright.PENANABjUecqekHo
"I'm not going to 682Please respect copyright.PENANAb2IdRAKZq6
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and682Please respect copyright.PENANArzZt3kluWl
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."682Please respect copyright.PENANAXmLbj402KS
"No, I'm scared that 682Please respect copyright.PENANAHyLfaCMT0A
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 682Please respect copyright.PENANANBnGFnX4iy
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.682Please respect copyright.PENANAvPhsGYLtCm
I looked at Zoey, then 682Please respect copyright.PENANA9V6Y5AJmdH
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 682Please respect copyright.PENANAImHlTVqlEC
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 682Please respect copyright.PENANApiksUwNHyU
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready682Please respect copyright.PENANA5CkCerfyCO
for that bumpy ride again.682Please respect copyright.PENANALM9H8a6q2y
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.682Please respect copyright.PENANAkpmFzIVO4T
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.682Please respect copyright.PENANAr173VIQNVr
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.682Please respect copyright.PENANAwaN546N2Bx
Daniel's mouth gaped 682Please respect copyright.PENANAct3LGhycRC
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 682Please respect copyright.PENANAsXprfUVLRn
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"682Please respect copyright.PENANArgU3SHY1FT
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."682Please respect copyright.PENANAW5YGoi8FQw
"Well, I think we can 682Please respect copyright.PENANAGMpclFVryW
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so682Please respect copyright.PENANA78A16PmgPn
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."682Please respect copyright.PENANAEPp7MRZjME
"Same here," said Mino.682Please respect copyright.PENANAylEDvdJOBo
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAIlVRixz7MP
Everyone including me 682Please respect copyright.PENANAaXYYnJdUT6
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 682Please respect copyright.PENANABrYD7Gsjsy
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 682Please respect copyright.PENANABSsr2OD9sv
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in682Please respect copyright.PENANA2zkhPpsDB0
Times Square.682Please respect copyright.PENANAY5adMADOMd
"There's an open food 682Please respect copyright.PENANAIL5NXALswn
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 682Please respect copyright.PENANAnt1dnpnFC9
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.682Please respect copyright.PENANA7ngIdiu9jy
"Gosh, I've now realised682Please respect copyright.PENANAqwn1cJ9Nid
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 682Please respect copyright.PENANAoy847ipgru
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.682Please respect copyright.PENANAxeG207Jm4j
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.682Please respect copyright.PENANA3EGEqOGmS0
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."682Please respect copyright.PENANAl12t1DCVRE
"No wonder you Toxins 682Please respect copyright.PENANAtMK0odFE4B
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 682Please respect copyright.PENANABtfSNs8u5q
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."682Please respect copyright.PENANAQiz1cChYBg
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.682Please respect copyright.PENANA1zMjmYeGdH
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."682Please respect copyright.PENANAIMb8oVLL3u
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."682Please respect copyright.PENANAl7e6N4gLBh
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.682Please respect copyright.PENANARtN8RLey5n
Zoey, Christine and the 682Please respect copyright.PENANAXjxkkJpLJf
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 682Please respect copyright.PENANAMl36w7PhJU
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 682Please respect copyright.PENANAiwGEQUC0Ne
going.682Please respect copyright.PENANA0DdUjZlBI7
"That's insulting," said Jennie.682Please respect copyright.PENANAR0JUGzQYdx
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.682Please respect copyright.PENANAFisFrV28vu
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."682Please respect copyright.PENANA8upfc14eiC
I burst out laughing 682Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ1tBgPEXB
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 682Please respect copyright.PENANAKsESuvjUDj
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 682Please respect copyright.PENANAkdXwLxZ1rY
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 682Please respect copyright.PENANAmVP7pRU9EI
other floors because that would surly be something.682Please respect copyright.PENANAPlixFpMrQM
"Good one, TOP," said 682Please respect copyright.PENANAqKtzP0Sm7F
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 682Please respect copyright.PENANALPD2nqfPPx
have thought of that in a million years."682Please respect copyright.PENANAompwlvKh9D
Everyone continued to 682Please respect copyright.PENANAaEhzNKVuKt
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 682Please respect copyright.PENANAKdQx4L9Qm6
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 682Please respect copyright.PENANAt8QQonYeWe
how annoyed she was.682Please respect copyright.PENANAPRKcFacbAi
"I can't believe you 682Please respect copyright.PENANAeMIoglZWvM
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 682Please respect copyright.PENANAd6VfyYYWkQ
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."682Please respect copyright.PENANAywJmZQt3OI
"Don't worry, Zoey," 682Please respect copyright.PENANAe2aLmhmewj
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a682Please respect copyright.PENANAfDHrK24wOA
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."682Please respect copyright.PENANAnURiMzZrFS
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."682Please respect copyright.PENANAOV3MCjUVwf
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."682Please respect copyright.PENANAekaDUnK1pA
"I'll sting him so bad, 682Please respect copyright.PENANAdZHHPvyk0e
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at682Please respect copyright.PENANAmTZqDBtMyq
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.682Please respect copyright.PENANA9jV0p1jBL2
"Oh, look, a stage," 682Please respect copyright.PENANAQHWJT1egfS
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from682Please respect copyright.PENANALwZExg3HNw
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.682Please respect copyright.PENANAKiYCpwBXY1
In the direction Daniel 682Please respect copyright.PENANAxGHSs7ylSQ
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 682Please respect copyright.PENANA9mOCExFGzC
there and get up on it. We all followed him.682Please respect copyright.PENANAQl6pBfBeoF
"I've missed being on 682Please respect copyright.PENANAXzO92Ff7Dy
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 682Please respect copyright.PENANAKIcslgLBf6
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.682Please respect copyright.PENANAJhuvoAs87y
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.682Please respect copyright.PENANAe7IWom9bLv
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.682Please respect copyright.PENANA9xSpbUEXWa
"We're just having fun,"682Please respect copyright.PENANAhR2Q5iRasT
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.682Please respect copyright.PENANAx1qbs0CQgB
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 682Please respect copyright.PENANA4VVB0Q7sa6
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 682Please respect copyright.PENANAybqYtBGTbw
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 682Please respect copyright.PENANAd82VU1OPhY
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.682Please respect copyright.PENANARhk1AJzF93
The rest of us down the 682Please respect copyright.PENANAnSEelc2Mqa
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 682Please respect copyright.PENANAOV2J56lIEy
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 682Please respect copyright.PENANAuHLcLbpr0t
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 682Please respect copyright.PENANAQN8zXqDs4N
side of him was a shocker.682Please respect copyright.PENANAl97rmxB4fo
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."682Please respect copyright.PENANAD6vul2jbWK
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.682Please respect copyright.PENANA9uiB7nhzxZ
"Mum would be so proud,"682Please respect copyright.PENANAQk4UClZTBQ
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 682Please respect copyright.PENANAN1jsbaCSTg
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."682Please respect copyright.PENANAPl8FGOxLhu
"Haha, very funny," said682Please respect copyright.PENANAQkYA6BKD2C
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 682Please respect copyright.PENANAF40qKPdLds
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"682Please respect copyright.PENANA6hXznhmOS4
I looked at Mike and he 682Please respect copyright.PENANA5EniRt6VJJ
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 682Please respect copyright.PENANAkA3uQXMXYy
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 682Please respect copyright.PENANAb0xtUte7dv
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."682Please respect copyright.PENANArkHv1bdKtc
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."682Please respect copyright.PENANAoKMfvDKh4N
"I'm still not going to 682Please respect copyright.PENANACL7PmV03lA
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 682Please respect copyright.PENANAAxwoma3Wqf
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."682Please respect copyright.PENANArDkrzGnpNX
"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.682Please respect copyright.PENANAuEZPTrjBDJ
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.682Please respect copyright.PENANALSa9Ser5Rs
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.682Please respect copyright.PENANAlDrTxsFOkv
"No," she said still not682Please respect copyright.PENANAdXDSH6gqPk
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 682Please respect copyright.PENANAQmBGqKWblF
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."682Please respect copyright.PENANAuH3ZvkO47M
Everyone turned to look 682Please respect copyright.PENANAbL12jD0ug1
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 682Please respect copyright.PENANAPhpDRXignk
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 682Please respect copyright.PENANAiBBu4cxcD7
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 682Please respect copyright.PENANAv3lKA9dupE
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger682Please respect copyright.PENANADn1OFUIjUi
was to sweet talk her somehow.682Please respect copyright.PENANAQALiwOwHE8
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."682Please respect copyright.PENANAKjgCHiP4PD
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.682Please respect copyright.PENANAnb5YlL78WP
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.682Please respect copyright.PENANANKBVLgwVW1
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAd5md5IBowX
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.682Please respect copyright.PENANAk33b3VG0Ng
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."682Please respect copyright.PENANAMx2tEBhiFk
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.682Please respect copyright.PENANAByFOgTj7CW
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.682Please respect copyright.PENANAMB0t43cmOH
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.682Please respect copyright.PENANAe2JOKF0RJi
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.682Please respect copyright.PENANADULsFUzTIt
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.682Please respect copyright.PENANAUyaTt2Zne1
I snapped my fingers 682Please respect copyright.PENANA6WZiQ2SYDH
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 682Please respect copyright.PENANAdwQJM12A8v
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.682Please respect copyright.PENANAv81VbnbEsX
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 682Please respect copyright.PENANAfaBurWu8qT
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.682Please respect copyright.PENANAlF7IgJkHjb
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 682Please respect copyright.PENANAXr5s0vtF7W
Lisa: You're sweet like 682Please respect copyright.PENANANYsoA5a3yF
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]682Please respect copyright.PENANA2z36nWF3KS
Jennie: You're sweet like 682Please respect copyright.PENANAXZQVkRSVW0
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 682Please respect copyright.PENANALTuKk2BVRm
We all ended up giving a682Please respect copyright.PENANAy3Cd9y3ehq
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 682Please respect copyright.PENANAqp9NcJQsA8
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 682Please respect copyright.PENANAKEz65LBilb
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 682Please respect copyright.PENANAsaT7CKdTvi
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 682Please respect copyright.PENANAvoQczakGwz
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.682Please respect copyright.PENANACwv9ntqV71
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.682Please respect copyright.PENANAQPubiAEaD3
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.682Please respect copyright.PENANAiXCz3u24Ng
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.682Please respect copyright.PENANAkP1OeSUfaZ
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.682Please respect copyright.PENANAx7WBbU6bFo
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.682Please respect copyright.PENANA37HMqmeHFN
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.682Please respect copyright.PENANA9bX86XEwo6
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.682Please respect copyright.PENANA5cmSSBZmql
Im a fan all day.682Please respect copyright.PENANATr5NqkMaiD
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.682Please respect copyright.PENANARtLYqvR1Hg
My manage behavior; Im into your major.682Please respect copyright.PENANAQOEpxKyYLr
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.682Please respect copyright.PENANAb83frM47PD
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:682Please respect copyright.PENANAJBixAArbeo
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.682Please respect copyright.PENANA152IyNmRY1
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.682Please respect copyright.PENANAlm4GHzRlMd
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.682Please respect copyright.PENANA9kt0Y0RTfK
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 682Please respect copyright.PENANAoE1akqeMa7
The three couples on 682Please respect copyright.PENANAgbbC82pA2T
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And682Please respect copyright.PENANAxKlcaixU2l
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 682Please respect copyright.PENANAgXr0ehJkFx
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 682Please respect copyright.PENANAKcdE0F9U0E
three couples surrounding me in a circle.682Please respect copyright.PENANA9m6TQgIOCw
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]682Please respect copyright.PENANAkDs6ZLgbDW
This candy got you sprung [x2]682Please respect copyright.PENANA2xYaCt8eGB
So call me your sugar [x2]682Please respect copyright.PENANAZhzRifBI82
You love you some [x2]682Please respect copyright.PENANABgdnaBZ0sL
I'm sweet like 682Please respect copyright.PENANAGYgZzH5cGO
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 682Please respect copyright.PENANA2gtXL7xOr6
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]682Please respect copyright.PENANAIfZ4xfPR2D
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di682Please respect copyright.PENANApkqfeqK7bv
Sugar682Please respect copyright.PENANAhOfUSwPoYs
Seunghoon came up on 682Please respect copyright.PENANAO5TnIPiq7O
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 682Please respect copyright.PENANATvsbXmkFbQ
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.682Please respect copyright.PENANAtnHGv29XNJ
Down stage, Seungyoon 682Please respect copyright.PENANANGTkzSrnp3
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a682Please respect copyright.PENANA2hUzv2Q5O7
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 682Please respect copyright.PENANACC91HKVuf7
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 682Please respect copyright.PENANALr5su8Sbjk
all did that simultaneously was awesome.682Please respect copyright.PENANAnliZg98IT7
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.682Please respect copyright.PENANAluGtUNzFj1
All: My lips like sugar (x2)682Please respect copyright.PENANAS7BCjXlAtO
This candy got you sprung (x2)682Please respect copyright.PENANAHYDcTxh7kC
So call me your sugar (x2)682Please respect copyright.PENANAWmoE0CC54a
You love you some (x2)682Please respect copyright.PENANA64oIIdB9oh
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)682Please respect copyright.PENANA3IO14fw0mj
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 682Please respect copyright.PENANAZsNFglD4nZ
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di682Please respect copyright.PENANABE9lPUqBog
Sugar 682Please respect copyright.PENANAZNsoIvagcB
I682Please respect copyright.PENANAOf1DySfGBG
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 682Please respect copyright.PENANAWanyH21Avs
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 682Please respect copyright.PENANAVhPsJb590J
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 682Please respect copyright.PENANA6FIGtmzlnF
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 682Please respect copyright.PENANA9xHVeMAGNn
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.682Please respect copyright.PENANA3y6OxnJ8H9
Onlookers682Please respect copyright.PENANALSyiR5TvvL
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 682Please respect copyright.PENANAgbBgEW77uf
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 682Please respect copyright.PENANA8hKmQ4VRfQ
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.682Please respect copyright.PENANAalsLurd5H1
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.682Please respect copyright.PENANAzr8oMw4ojx
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.682Please respect copyright.PENANAM1qtjEH74N
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.682Please respect copyright.PENANAWR4GE5ig98
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.682Please respect copyright.PENANAVpjnjAgsDQ
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.682Please respect copyright.PENANA0DZwcAq5ZR
"Ya, we really should," I answered.682Please respect copyright.PENANAtiBHxEAz5O
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.682Please respect copyright.PENANAWqjINJj5ps
"Take a bow," I said.682Please respect copyright.PENANANSqHLElZWY
Zoey who stood next to 682Please respect copyright.PENANAcleT8ftXVd
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 682Please respect copyright.PENANAgegrVVLcTc
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took682Please respect copyright.PENANA7jOKjavTPR
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down682Please respect copyright.PENANA9XgATn0L3q
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 682Please respect copyright.PENANAlHCxYleBlt
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.682Please respect copyright.PENANANhSf0QVX9N
"Well, this just got 682Please respect copyright.PENANAnfVPfYCmPc
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 682Please respect copyright.PENANAUYN8RYHnAd
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.682Please respect copyright.PENANA8z10DAXsUS
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."682Please respect copyright.PENANAvevAE2OmJn
The way Mike said it 682Please respect copyright.PENANAGsvfg7SIkb
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 682Please respect copyright.PENANAuqvvNEVcdR
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 682Please respect copyright.PENANAUV6vOqV4QN
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.682Please respect copyright.PENANA0GYiSN0rJg
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.682Please respect copyright.PENANAwdPZQg5TTC
When I got down from the682Please respect copyright.PENANAEkthTZFxG3
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 682Please respect copyright.PENANA5Wu7irI7HZ
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in682Please respect copyright.PENANAuDjVTZoytV
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I682Please respect copyright.PENANARm15rrK8N6
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.682Please respect copyright.PENANAsEHaXg4AEJ
"Well, you guys sure 682Please respect copyright.PENANAAVsId9DsyQ
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 682Please respect copyright.PENANAXewe3QDajh
had to warn the security before I could even get here."682Please respect copyright.PENANAWcl8ZlA3XL
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.682Please respect copyright.PENANAdwlNZ6yT8b
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't682Please respect copyright.PENANA0OGel3GsoC
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 682Please respect copyright.PENANA5HvNKblypY
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAEqpsCEEg2a
"We just missed you, 682Please respect copyright.PENANAx6gutznJQx
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually682Please respect copyright.PENANAR17bewR8zJ
with us but these past days you haven't."682Please respect copyright.PENANAmif7kFQKlC
"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."682Please respect copyright.PENANAtzmpUBXffQ
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.682Please respect copyright.PENANAsf3zmmO5hk
"He would've called by 682Please respect copyright.PENANATc2Iba7X9n
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 682Please respect copyright.PENANAzBGAfnaEFj
no calls from the grim reapers yet."682Please respect copyright.PENANApU2tbIMQtu
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.682Please respect copyright.PENANAYNF1CNpo7f
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAQZDFwCwt7j
Immediately Lee focused 682Please respect copyright.PENANA8I654wR94k
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone682Please respect copyright.PENANAUZv1cYfTfV
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 682Please respect copyright.PENANAx0ts5YDENX
couldn't blame them.682Please respect copyright.PENANAf6YUAAiCOG
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.682Please respect copyright.PENANA94Btvv8Xk8
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.682Please respect copyright.PENANALwcts4UHrQ
"How682Please respect copyright.PENANAN4eLpfvDCX
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked682Please respect copyright.PENANA60pVUAZKL9
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into682Please respect copyright.PENANArS7Y5GTwoh
your own dance hall."682Please respect copyright.PENANA1oAdtrDfqC
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."682Please respect copyright.PENANAftx998wHvn
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"682Please respect copyright.PENANA8VNF04d5yp
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.682Please respect copyright.PENANARjJWIffS7U
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....682Please respect copyright.PENANA7E4v2M9xuB
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.682Please respect copyright.PENANAuDeEa1rhr8
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.682Please respect copyright.PENANAnU1K503HFS
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.682Please respect copyright.PENANAE16L2d9JtP
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."682Please respect copyright.PENANAkUktUNfxB0
"No,682Please respect copyright.PENANAO44CDW2QwJ
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 682Please respect copyright.PENANArurC0cRF4N
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell682Please respect copyright.PENANAtAGERoiXts
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"682Please respect copyright.PENANAP1Gr46ERIG
"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.682Please respect copyright.PENANAoHFGnP11Cb
"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?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAOGZ3p3nkF7
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.682Please respect copyright.PENANAROVnAsAWiG
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.682Please respect copyright.PENANAD0Z41aPyjA
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.682Please respect copyright.PENANAUOg74OeJTW
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.682Please respect copyright.PENANAMqsutTCmUh
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.682Please respect copyright.PENANAURnGJ8zVmz
I682Please respect copyright.PENANArA8Gro58FO
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 682Please respect copyright.PENANAI3Y4QRQDnk
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 682Please respect copyright.PENANAnmOYeZQ4Or
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it682Please respect copyright.PENANATf4god0Iy3
was a lot to take in.682Please respect copyright.PENANAVrSNdkPJyl
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."682Please respect copyright.PENANAOBwSGKBSyT
"That's682Please respect copyright.PENANA5qB26xyHWm
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 682Please respect copyright.PENANAKH7ko2kPX4
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 682Please respect copyright.PENANAxbkQFknJmb
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 682Please respect copyright.PENANAvACLSuFOpm
still find out anyway."682Please respect copyright.PENANArKBrsMbjsk
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."682Please respect copyright.PENANAn12hYRmWoS
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.682Please respect copyright.PENANAGf9h5Np9mb
Everyone682Please respect copyright.PENANAFOPDJLKmHN
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 682Please respect copyright.PENANAUv70siAW65
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 682Please respect copyright.PENANAM1Ut0El4Ze
somehow the anxiety was killing me.682Please respect copyright.PENANADq2bGqEqBj
After682Please respect copyright.PENANA5UYVq1DIwj
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan682Please respect copyright.PENANAnqSZtGpSFf
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the682Please respect copyright.PENANA96tQt83dvY
food court when Lee asked:682Please respect copyright.PENANAXZ8w4T8ZiY
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"682Please respect copyright.PENANAtN5hywxxQw
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.682Please respect copyright.PENANAB13qj7MfLI
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.682Please respect copyright.PENANAVYCg7moW45
"You682Please respect copyright.PENANAa643wVYBmH
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 682Please respect copyright.PENANAZQsTQuHyhF
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 682Please respect copyright.PENANAR9TR8X0zqb
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."682Please respect copyright.PENANAYK2d9sZPbY
"I682Please respect copyright.PENANAST3lKI5Qjo
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 682Please respect copyright.PENANAJTj4QC5LbI
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 682Please respect copyright.PENANAxYtNF5no0o
okay."682Please respect copyright.PENANAwohYv4UVy9
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.682Please respect copyright.PENANAzYuqaB5sQH
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."682Please respect copyright.PENANALSMfOfLbWN
"You682Please respect copyright.PENANA5SHZMfqyZs
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 682Please respect copyright.PENANAte776TZiKQ
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 682Please respect copyright.PENANAbJmOEiYuPE
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 682Please respect copyright.PENANAuhzc94qk4d
don't know up to now."682Please respect copyright.PENANAxBNAAGAWib
"BTW682Please respect copyright.PENANAkYlYsL3BEG
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I682Please respect copyright.PENANAYfJwUtTRoa
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 682Please respect copyright.PENANA60nqoQjDol
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 682Please respect copyright.PENANArjBygGpeEN
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."682Please respect copyright.PENANAnGx0rRDuhk
"I682Please respect copyright.PENANAEYxvxPU4u2
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 682Please respect copyright.PENANAb0ECLuazdo
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 682Please respect copyright.PENANAiJhKBjc3BA
normal human perspective."682Please respect copyright.PENANA2IUvd1d3g9
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."682Please respect copyright.PENANARMJELpqE22
"I think she is," said TOP.682Please respect copyright.PENANAFkXzTH8qTW
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.682Please respect copyright.PENANA4NWt8PNTQd
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.682Please respect copyright.PENANA5eSF9k1BPF
Zoey682Please respect copyright.PENANAF0iUyvYuqG
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 682Please respect copyright.PENANAaRo5o2SPgG
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.682Please respect copyright.PENANAgwk6uhuqYC
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"682Please respect copyright.PENANA4rs0imqKN8
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.682Please respect copyright.PENANAB4D7fJoaYj
Before682Please respect copyright.PENANAyzeQj0nzb4
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she682Please respect copyright.PENANAsn9FQNSubE
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 682Please respect copyright.PENANApSaDEDnDvO
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.682Please respect copyright.PENANAvDqcQqZPLU
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.682Please respect copyright.PENANAr7TckmWOaY
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.682Please respect copyright.PENANAJGZ1Ijp4ip
The682Please respect copyright.PENANA2FaXRxcOOi
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 682Please respect copyright.PENANAXTNMwklyhd
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 682Please respect copyright.PENANAVkmozMjRZZ
would never stop fighting no matter what.682Please respect copyright.PENANAyo6UiXQQkL
"I682Please respect copyright.PENANAO2aoAC0Aec
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a682Please respect copyright.PENANApQNQVj70at
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 682Please respect copyright.PENANAVFrX6abgRA
it's full of drama too."682Please respect copyright.PENANAF9L5atbcmN
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.682Please respect copyright.PENANARq4jEMZtSc
"Do682Please respect copyright.PENANA5HakzywKvt
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 682Please respect copyright.PENANAomHq1Kti8r
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 682Please respect copyright.PENANAbctQICla60
court.682Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6G3oslbL7
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."682Please respect copyright.PENANAc1x381z0lh
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."682Please respect copyright.PENANAHitlaliVDN
"I hope so too," said Christine.682Please respect copyright.PENANAjC7343wK7A
"Come682Please respect copyright.PENANAx2OlFe08wJ
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 682Please respect copyright.PENANAgwqfKL0XXp
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."682Please respect copyright.PENANAeDtKEHX4D3
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.682Please respect copyright.PENANAFMNdlV7ZPF
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.682Please respect copyright.PENANATHxiOrVing
As682Please respect copyright.PENANABDblWOqYvu
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning682Please respect copyright.PENANAFXph6CRSq2
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 682Please respect copyright.PENANAkQYz4fpXWo
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 682Please respect copyright.PENANAnLt0eV83r3
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 682Please respect copyright.PENANAdidGpWrsLh
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.682Please respect copyright.PENANAfv96Gzfsgr
I682Please respect copyright.PENANAdl0cnDxQAp
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 682Please respect copyright.PENANAqvF3HP0aGK
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might682Please respect copyright.PENANANcKvsgu4o6
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 682Please respect copyright.PENANAgVlZ7AaVvc
of the blue may arise.682Please respect copyright.PENANA3uJa781cyh
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
