Lee's P.O.V1043Please respect copyright.PENANAe4PLQWWyMw
I was so tired as I sat 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA4UTEEZzw6z
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAdmgKZ7jK1z
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAzVvqOnWMlq
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 1043Please respect copyright.PENANALvfQfw8xXI
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANACvgx0NRI2Z
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAuRbmtoEf9g
The past two days have 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAipeirX15zL
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtb1S9kx4FM
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAuziHMBHxXr
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being1043Please respect copyright.PENANAm1tRisAI39
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAZzLmQKGuXB
complain.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAMfIE52mvuN
Why should I complain? 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAuevjX115ZJ
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when1043Please respect copyright.PENANAKq9vjmRrc0
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAlxsjuVA9bB
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAuPZNYsnCo5
I really love my job. 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAUVIVzwDmnG
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAByGEd8yicN
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjRcOYs1Zmh
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtLHjFLK0nm
Collins is strict and 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAW6hjSMZpC9
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtDs2OUFAFl
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAOSo5FXI8cs
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only1043Please respect copyright.PENANAT4YeUBG78N
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set1043Please respect copyright.PENANAmWxO323xL5
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA8wT4jeH1e4
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends1043Please respect copyright.PENANAK5e5l4Y5j6
over the years.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAh9sR47mN27
And another reason I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAiGewnJ0qjj
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected1043Please respect copyright.PENANAzKrTOvfhAJ
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAzKtOumtTXy
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA55t09sYDpP
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAPvfwn73if8
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAcd0q7txDiL
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnNh6rTlr28
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAhSu2207aZK
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's1043Please respect copyright.PENANA3bMfdKO2rr
how they have managed to make it this far.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjIgGfyYi1S
As I remained seated and1043Please respect copyright.PENANAQOo5UjGHfc
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much1043Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Dy8EimvE
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANABnOo32Y0WL
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 1043Please respect copyright.PENANADhuGs7lexN
like that at all.1043Please respect copyright.PENANADmvDm1CPRz
Not that I'm acting like1043Please respect copyright.PENANAIb1WLSpZXr
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA5QpTVUh4oK
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAAcUpbANUPJ
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAumsJ9CDfZx
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to1043Please respect copyright.PENANAlEbgSIu7zl
help in any way I can.1043Please respect copyright.PENANARbVS1kNWWZ
I looked at the time on 1043Please respect copyright.PENANABya7qkDRt4
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAQGenk4hDVZ
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAUzpBwySvA4
I quickly grabbed my 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAx13ohMnibD
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 1043Please respect copyright.PENANABuN1Z8Znoz
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAQdG3fZxRxs
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAf1U9byM4OJ
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAc0iTM9A6tM
"Ya, we're done with practise."1043Please respect copyright.PENANACoSrf9kFKc
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA6hYQXDezvt
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjKesbjOmSx
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAQzXDOo2PKh
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtaLNhoOYYM
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAU2fJg0Q4hV
Whatever ounce of 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAGIo2axLJrw
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAUuiCZOYdfC
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously1043Please respect copyright.PENANApeduBrJ5Z0
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjihPowrlTB
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZphJMScBJ
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA5oTe984Xqx
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."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAktpepUN9TD
"Is Collins with you?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAsW5ZVyNxy9
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAU92hBEWXwR
"Good. I've something else to tell you."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAewrLJNdreb
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnnEG4ZZHZi
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA7i4mkgw62Q
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."1043Please respect copyright.PENANARiLg41ugcp
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."1043Please respect copyright.PENANATmbu980mCx
"Tell me then," I insisted.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAk6VLkxOpax
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAhHqAwpT82c
"Did you and TOP kiss?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANACsAoIgXzsr
"What! No! No way!"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAZd1DSfbp9l
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."1043Please respect copyright.PENANABgoOKN3gBg
"What makes you think that?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAwxkIo5Mxi4
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAuqkOHpROkk
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAiTDeUvnWKn
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAPqEYhfcShf
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.1043Please respect copyright.PENANANVmlkok83X
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA7nXMhBC2cr
"Try me, Sam. I've been 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAFHJIxYwgLG
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAaRZ0R15cUT
on that I won't be surprised this time around."1043Please respect copyright.PENANATmewzUAIzg
"No, Lee, this time it's different."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnYEaN6G939
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA7SqedXwEq9
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."1043Please respect copyright.PENANALsp2GtvrK2
Before Sam could say 1043Please respect copyright.PENANApOE0sR3Rrs
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA2SnNLuaCvh
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtSvFHCuH6l
quickly realised that it wasn't.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAdc4tw1a3sM
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAuGlkwlXU0M
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAkj2jFwKe3M
"What the what! Sam! 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAe7lXSr6Bg9
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA4XjeGvECSG
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAuRgsLEuPsS
"Wait, hold on, give me a1043Please respect copyright.PENANAULHlnnebk8
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANARk1WDdF0aJ
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA0PppFyDtE3
tell you."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAJi6aRfMVL8
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANADfq0dvI044
"Seunghoon from WINNER."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAh6KbGQgRla
I thought the world 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAoNLNI5FyUy
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtrVfFgOKWG
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAFnYhn4LGNt
"Sam, I'm going to faint1043Please respect copyright.PENANAdgGr7z6M5g
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAECY6CaG231
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAEaBCUptXM7
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."1043Please respect copyright.PENANACSg1uwuTUd
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAN66vRpvjcP
"I know, but I've a plan."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAKbL9sUZCrL
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAMlxHp5ch7p
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAf6OYfAoh0Q
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAoq2Svq5iaA
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAQSEWxvaqpl
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAn8DktGuuMX
"Or you can just join in1043Please respect copyright.PENANA6JKHRaMpq3
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAg22ZJMIqsq
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjoJ0ihsjpD
"Okay, I'll be there. 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAAw3NwVINFE
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAuf2F5DJS5C
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAsgKvivELQg
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjn7qq5JYeR
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAYO3sKYuf57
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnaapIMuTfE
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA9WU6rtk4b7
"Alright, I'm on my way."1043Please respect copyright.PENANANmUs2KZ97S
I quickly cut the call 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAwRTjolEl01
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 1043Please respect copyright.PENANARP9RTUAeWx
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAOvjJc9fcs9
the trending list, I was a little confused.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAz546KHEf4o
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA4aUbmkkMMl
***1043Please respect copyright.PENANAT9USejPm9O
Sam's P.O.V1043Please respect copyright.PENANAMcVq6f6OP1
I1043Please respect copyright.PENANAuaZg6WSICn
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA5V8mtI7r53
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAfVZEDuQExG
the fans.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA4aBx0iiOLB
Since1043Please respect copyright.PENANA12x0JZ4S7N
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 1043Please respect copyright.PENANABukWiQrwUO
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAezjA65FynW
massive Times Square complex.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAX6JINyD3Z6
So1043Please respect copyright.PENANAqS3WkRmZ7Q
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAInaKjTHw5j
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAEikqrJu5iD
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAmygA2Y6wbq
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAfxjH0eoiKC
serious.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAe74hLaNptr
"It's1043Please respect copyright.PENANAsWX9bu7xzA
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAf0kD8ukImU
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjN4koYI9nz
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA6dFIht3ZPE
I1043Please respect copyright.PENANAlHJ1vLBzfu
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnCpmj9dI42
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 1043Please respect copyright.PENANArp3x5qzrfv
somewhat worrying.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjjW4ZDQ0gW
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAesJpYXhRTd
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAfkmE9Q6t3G
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAXIJ8UoBcVm
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.1043Please respect copyright.PENANATrUwwp1NOC
"You're right. I do."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAibI9SEXYVS
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAWjGg0hkn16
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAkPBelW1Ygi
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAZeEKuJBfrG
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA8CQlLWxsig
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA6gJgYf3AIx
"You're1043Please respect copyright.PENANABPgHapU9LX
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAlySPYAervN
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAelJ9j3sGV8
around here."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAo8uSi69lDF
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAdQJNUnaw9x
"Who said we need to 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtePKKyJfMc
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAODVmuTgcfP
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAbjq4N2z0Nf
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAovWNuU9LIs
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAJBzsoEdpAo
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAQBvhUyaCJe
"Where?" Zoey asked.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAYnzQErlvQW
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANASUdiPauI13
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAd8HfIG1pq2
"Wait, a minute!" I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAkHaVRK74oE
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 1043Please respect copyright.PENANANy0x3co6G2
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."1043Please respect copyright.PENANADf8OQ7Yfwb
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAJD39jg5klP
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAQM38MByY3b
"Did someone just say 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA5lo4EgGhFF
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAqPPtnJsluJ
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtjewvNpt4m
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAE4sy81Ka2g
"You're doing that thing1043Please respect copyright.PENANAannwdY7QNa
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA6DTlenJBxY
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAGMVgJgizvF
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAOjhwui4T6n
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4pTSJxtWh
"Ya, true," said Mike.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAhIGJvsTHgs
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAEk8CAxzGtL
"I'm not going to 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAj5geEOx2r3
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and1043Please respect copyright.PENANAR31g69WVYL
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAvqRwuwWmLd
"No, I'm scared that 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA0VpYG7qH4K
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA8Tc7mJH5yL
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAHI9pNPT7ii
I looked at Zoey, then 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAHWX63OERwi
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnhBAJvsMhT
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAhJbJstWxyb
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready1043Please respect copyright.PENANAyQGRQsu6wM
for that bumpy ride again.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAEM3ZQY5Xey
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAWEZwtQ6NU0
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAj9whMWBXou
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAGcsNXfoBBj
Daniel's mouth gaped 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAzkRcxvCSTI
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA8wqXksyNiH
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"1043Please respect copyright.PENANA5DyzLTb6cy
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAX8UVfdQ3Y6
"Well, I think we can 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAkTtyHWlfvo
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtPWEi5bXQP
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA1XkEshYopd
"Same here," said Mino.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjW0luMlMoQ
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAVNViOEomkf
Everyone including me 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA0vXvfz3h2P
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA01KM5q2Xkf
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA9HqjTN9sXK
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in1043Please respect copyright.PENANAmQxUpbdKJ0
Times Square.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAqxQ5sdv34R
"There's an open food 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtjAxGECx6e
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAPfkwlOcnvN
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAX7U88TEO25
"Gosh, I've now realised1043Please respect copyright.PENANArg8u2M0XLF
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAS16HS92xLh
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAz7hVYXOGUG
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAZJSH7PBlcv
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAwuxjA3oMk7
"No wonder you Toxins 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAIAazbqMSRb
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAG6q07NAWS2
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAcHPb1mrYpB
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.1043Please respect copyright.PENANASbPhpY4wA1
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA0grMboU9Mb
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtHWVr348nd
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAwbpWbPxXsp
Zoey, Christine and the 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAGkQXhqOJz9
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAZr0DiJuOpl
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAo0FJ9hgPI3
going.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA1TWhlCmZtY
"That's insulting," said Jennie.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA5bpBDfbl9l
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.1043Please respect copyright.PENANApPl2ns5EzV
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAN4STU6lPrp
I burst out laughing 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAiaAHSQuOet
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 1043Please respect copyright.PENANApNLTVVDuOW
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAZjTR20KQMG
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gx0ESDqrq
other floors because that would surly be something.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAMzNxuvSvi9
"Good one, TOP," said 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtCOJCVSGbH
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAOBT90Bwo5F
have thought of that in a million years."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZEvJ3dxmq
Everyone continued to 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAiqupz1z8x0
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ4YkVDoXH
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA3MhvFejfxl
how annoyed she was.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA3ITdFXHL4z
"I can't believe you 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAWB3tJBSwG5
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAFu1clnV4R7
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAehOgPDMWzp
"Don't worry, Zoey," 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAUNq9MsNaE0
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a1043Please respect copyright.PENANAXG5u3O3RSg
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAdl5OG6PNLz
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAz9pTTRhUal
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAX57idnRu9a
"I'll sting him so bad, 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA1XU3z2bk8t
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at1043Please respect copyright.PENANAiH1VkVr2LL
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAzGPgGppyWo
"Oh, look, a stage," 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAFOpHhCI1tY
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from1043Please respect copyright.PENANAdVgHz6CNl1
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjqjWsO9DLO
In the direction Daniel 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAW13RZgS6dt
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAyXGL9BsG3m
there and get up on it. We all followed him.1043Please respect copyright.PENANACgEw8TdT4x
"I've missed being on 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA42litWtqA0
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA4mtmCiqqE1
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAZprCHusVJO
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAzjCsBxXwUc
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAJb7E6s5R3n
"We're just having fun,"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAsXLCU8tivN
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.1043Please respect copyright.PENANARXPn2yRs0v
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAfds6mkBOmb
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAlwTkP2AqxI
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnzX5yQaAKZ
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnUZGdiDx6H
The rest of us down the 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAP3DMy3ghd1
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA32WZyA6R5Q
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAkuv2GQfo9p
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAWsB8m7u6Hx
side of him was a shocker.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAerHwCMAyzC
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."1043Please respect copyright.PENANADnaoihnHSw
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAbAg5UXaVrV
"Mum would be so proud,"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAZKZsX8qs1X
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAMvld0cFPEt
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAK397It73vU
"Haha, very funny," said1043Please respect copyright.PENANA5rF4jN8zrx
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA28bQZGJfyX
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANA8pQTEtsBFj
I looked at Mike and he 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA2feGmUoH9k
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA2kaEtXxNAi
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAevgyZHQFJm
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAy6nzNECZaE
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAaKN0S01mR8
"I'm still not going to 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAOneBkn1viH
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAxH0ksy9bIP
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA3vcEXl3fq2
"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.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAkHg0S8FiL1
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAkvC8iBuTfp
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAGEvsYylY3r
"No," she said still not1043Please respect copyright.PENANAOiqogk52r6
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 1043Please respect copyright.PENANApcwlxkCJog
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAf4tjNnHsWC
Everyone turned to look 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAF0fdEwTK3R
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAVw3zwXmLEy
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAXug0MlcPqD
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA5jFSgwP65C
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger1043Please respect copyright.PENANAWaU8l6NMCG
was to sweet talk her somehow.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAJH8oKWbXQj
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAsmQUVayWil
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.1043Please respect copyright.PENANADlt4xxG0W0
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.1043Please respect copyright.PENANASkMVVW3zpv
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANA3CSyJTYo48
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAvxTpEFi19V
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."1043Please respect copyright.PENANATERNjgb0JH
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAntrTkB4KKg
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAdoF5VPZYbY
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA4JRlYB8209
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAxkKlXlcVo9
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAAiqGuxCLIn
I snapped my fingers 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAZqbqZBtu3b
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA7McrpJ6sn4
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAMjbwDqQyr6
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAA5sOaSZSwV
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAoa3MLqBE1x
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAuPm5TLyhf8
Lisa: You're sweet like 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAvHTgy8qVKo
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnRe490xtfM
Jennie: You're sweet like 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAgVX2EvI4d4
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAGAYNMMaQ84
We all ended up giving a1043Please respect copyright.PENANARiXd0wjmXs
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAbDM7RV9Ldk
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 1043Please respect copyright.PENANApQEokt8H3X
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAw4QQ5PWAx9
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAOev9mgMQvc
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAaVm8U6GKbl
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA2VkambEowA
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAPIbLTJWWT9
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAgDpUB2aoFZ
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAaThF9bHUVZ
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAMohlMMwVhX
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.1043Please respect copyright.PENANACf1eYcX9vn
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAXOuiiVekfR
Im a fan all day.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAovcrKu5WYr
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAASkqsCdBew
My manage behavior; Im into your major.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAYQAoLstZ66
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAUAyxrJ7iWz
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:1043Please respect copyright.PENANA30RXhST8nh
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA6CQ2MF6J81
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA3x3hBK1Sbz
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAedUw7rgoIq
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAkYijvEqGvl
The three couples on 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAryCdoXhHmC
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And1043Please respect copyright.PENANABxU5XKyATZ
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAAvjhjZAjm9
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAowzAJdA6Ap
three couples surrounding me in a circle.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAlhFx5EDni4
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]1043Please respect copyright.PENANAmsAvLcpip5
This candy got you sprung [x2]1043Please respect copyright.PENANAdaW7I0v6mw
So call me your sugar [x2]1043Please respect copyright.PENANAHM7Lbki9tF
You love you some [x2]1043Please respect copyright.PENANA4ETqgCoFTv
I'm sweet like 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAKMFT1JmQIz
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAsLx0KZcd7k
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]1043Please respect copyright.PENANA33fkqUShL8
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1043Please respect copyright.PENANAQoCimebSn1
Sugar1043Please respect copyright.PENANAC1E5ShreYy
Seunghoon came up on 1043Please respect copyright.PENANArf7zsDxOHW
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAyDolw326IO
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.1043Please respect copyright.PENANALJ3l5T7GsO
Down stage, Seungyoon 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAoI3yoxs4ZT
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a1043Please respect copyright.PENANAgzMOZMBN9f
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAESmW0bZhet
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtYsloeHzL2
all did that simultaneously was awesome.1043Please respect copyright.PENANATpvl2PhlNr
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAF5a04IP9PV
All: My lips like sugar (x2)1043Please respect copyright.PENANADPdJlW8b4K
This candy got you sprung (x2)1043Please respect copyright.PENANAUTyg4Hvx4J
So call me your sugar (x2)1043Please respect copyright.PENANA6RbIt2gwgb
You love you some (x2)1043Please respect copyright.PENANAYsamemhgrp
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)1043Please respect copyright.PENANA9ufIy3pReD
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA5eikYQwN21
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1043Please respect copyright.PENANAbpcv1YiZtZ
Sugar 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAKV70Gb6zYj
I1043Please respect copyright.PENANAPGNHMW3S0F
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA3gfgE4xA6K
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAmuiefE34Dj
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAIEwY2tq0Pr
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANABmWnIrI2xs
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.1043Please respect copyright.PENANACJRQOKsyrn
Onlookers1043Please respect copyright.PENANAeHbSJ3gycP
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAmk9AR8vyTx
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAKOA3TM74Gk
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8qRbrk45q
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAoAz38zORuK
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAvthwfYKMA4
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAxhyaZxP7it
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zb0a5efEd
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.1043Please respect copyright.PENANArD6d6pRJ4s
"Ya, we really should," I answered.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAPu1quJQ2pz
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAmdUArr5fyf
"Take a bow," I said.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAt2NTLjA2V2
Zoey who stood next to 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAZuygbwpG6S
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAQD6Hu4KPhy
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took1043Please respect copyright.PENANAfdckJWayao
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down1043Please respect copyright.PENANAuLgR22uCNu
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 1043Please respect copyright.PENANASLfOADwhjG
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAAthlcHDbHU
"Well, this just got 1043Please respect copyright.PENANADlXhygVRRl
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAkTlePt4XD8
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAG5LJjxf9BK
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjkq2t9RPsd
The way Mike said it 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA4hwDtiFDLv
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAMoa9zJ4UsP
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAJYveztvmxO
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAdhI2EFwM4H
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAXIwKqSopcm
When I got down from the1043Please respect copyright.PENANAbqsQgJ2aye
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtSc0eMo438
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in1043Please respect copyright.PENANAEvYnT9RgnM
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I1043Please respect copyright.PENANAMtvPkPOMiv
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAOaPQMVDAXO
"Well, you guys sure 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA4FRYR09uYs
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAMti8O9PuS7
had to warn the security before I could even get here."1043Please respect copyright.PENANATZWIFtsQeC
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAAkGu2jHwOz
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't1043Please respect copyright.PENANA9QZ6jfbFWq
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 1043Please respect copyright.PENANApxjC5Q46Al
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAqjUB1UVpqR
"We just missed you, 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAAuGAWvsb8z
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually1043Please respect copyright.PENANA7YowzdW8mv
with us but these past days you haven't."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA58CyG74WL7
"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."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAC8hMT9Anba
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAoGmoVVAulQ
"He would've called by 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAk8cyS13QfZ
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA2fwSVSzIFz
no calls from the grim reapers yet."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAh2pPqx5I1M
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.1043Please respect copyright.PENANABPQPxJl8nt
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAEzMECvL1K1
Immediately Lee focused 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA54bSrAa4Py
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone1043Please respect copyright.PENANAeFqwm8MoHR
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAW5E3QGDgMZ
couldn't blame them.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAKrLiNlTDQc
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ9FyqoK3O
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA4JAKHH08aZ
"How1043Please respect copyright.PENANAqpEyWWjJSo
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked1043Please respect copyright.PENANAbePndhJJMC
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into1043Please respect copyright.PENANA51gJnDbzKu
your own dance hall."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAqiwCVuV3U1
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."1043Please respect copyright.PENANADF45noBxF5
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAvxYBITVzIg
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6Pjl2OWEX
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....1043Please respect copyright.PENANAwTgOP1A4Cd
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAHCNeyBaLG6
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjJRhvoUfi0
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAN2JTA4ED3T
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAxj5txdCLcP
"No,1043Please respect copyright.PENANAzze5F7mZKa
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA9YQLhRJuTQ
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell1043Please respect copyright.PENANAJew1BUL3hx
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAvu7SEYWRGq
"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.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAitvCkxH3YN
"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?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAfPUN0uUOsQ
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAG1XFpi8PXm
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA7NFXNbIsgy
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAKNDWEgVkXF
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAySoyUEtCJh
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnXl4PEhV1y
I1043Please respect copyright.PENANAn67fa8bZnw
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAa6KAb4SLgP
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 1043Please respect copyright.PENANANSeOGHlhEL
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it1043Please respect copyright.PENANAIsoKxTbRgN
was a lot to take in.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAqOKZFybprI
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA6A64QGqUF2
"That's1043Please respect copyright.PENANAt3PnTP8CAi
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 1043Please respect copyright.PENANATpcaa1iDFA
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA3NyaEZchF5
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAW1UAGlXhlj
still find out anyway."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAk2HffujXLF
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAdYKog3TTvM
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAazjPEWd7Jx
Everyone1043Please respect copyright.PENANAe6AWr3qxem
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA7VhZdRNEnx
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAjSwLNM7BdY
somehow the anxiety was killing me.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAr72w1hk6oQ
After1043Please respect copyright.PENANAxAa2aOOiq6
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan1043Please respect copyright.PENANAYkkgwrM1vD
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the1043Please respect copyright.PENANAq6m5SQ9jZu
food court when Lee asked:1043Please respect copyright.PENANAUiL5pd4lFU
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANApE8G5vvSbJ
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAcWzI2SFYsn
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAqZENgYXBKv
"You1043Please respect copyright.PENANAzbEccApBez
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAD2vS1PO9dC
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAHBqlqMxOmH
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."1043Please respect copyright.PENANA9UXgOArorW
"I1043Please respect copyright.PENANAfxPWQ8hwFy
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAN73Dl74qKK
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAEO6O4p0Jyl
okay."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAAOTZsK2Xgn
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAuDUClYmMha
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAGtU8WozU8K
"You1043Please respect copyright.PENANAJRm5SqkLAa
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAraL52yPBQO
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAwi9oW9T6ZL
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 1043Please respect copyright.PENANASdPqLcr29i
don't know up to now."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAfSoE4kFIUX
"BTW1043Please respect copyright.PENANAObn8LTdyXV
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I1043Please respect copyright.PENANA5V06HTcObV
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 1043Please respect copyright.PENANADgCLGl6h8d
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAFWlCBfNCEN
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."1043Please respect copyright.PENANANvvlrGJgw6
"I1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnNpsb7ojZ1
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAA40lHnA4wp
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAFpDPIN33Ej
normal human perspective."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAWK0Zyf9GO6
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAMOcoiEmGKY
"I think she is," said TOP.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA8L34uBzKl2
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAkyzclbC22Y
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAoyOcNDySWc
Zoey1043Please respect copyright.PENANAJxF83K7H7E
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAP9YavUsxwz
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA4JIc3uwYyL
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"1043Please respect copyright.PENANAu2mUlXpqfH
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtgsZDtpxYA
Before1043Please respect copyright.PENANADaKX0rW2qH
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she1043Please respect copyright.PENANABm4MFze9b6
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAJkhaBGYEuz
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA9wFsbQoEEK
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAZPJ9MkvGAr
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAn7SBz3HLGn
The1043Please respect copyright.PENANAeTjMcWaNX4
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAu21WsBfN6g
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAWxl6W4jPrm
would never stop fighting no matter what.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA2ei3gOB95V
"I1043Please respect copyright.PENANAiQK25dhlVj
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtfLIwfqQuc
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnmw5mX7Hac
it's full of drama too."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAHZlak4lU7D
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAgOR65Tn8U8
"Do1043Please respect copyright.PENANApoLpFzKuQw
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAKGY6MtxgmE
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA6zJ9I60K4B
court.1043Please respect copyright.PENANARta6BIb2go
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAEOYbijtKbE
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAPgkio2LhTc
"I hope so too," said Christine.1043Please respect copyright.PENANApnpirC7ivn
"Come1043Please respect copyright.PENANAnX04DcUIUZ
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAhdIMy6BnW4
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."1043Please respect copyright.PENANAkK6lfrp5VA
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAi5lccj3w7l
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.1043Please respect copyright.PENANA6tJdfH960E
As1043Please respect copyright.PENANAoaXZqGuPn8
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning1043Please respect copyright.PENANA76bP2QC7AH
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAXlhBSVB6TR
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 1043Please respect copyright.PENANA0aGXiKAn4B
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAeEtz1CBPDC
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAzVnN1ZE2ow
I1043Please respect copyright.PENANAj1GLhkKgfP
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAWdaGAEsKgR
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might1043Please respect copyright.PENANARyLdE9H09d
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 1043Please respect copyright.PENANAtTGB9Pkl3v
of the blue may arise.1043Please respect copyright.PENANAfJh7M3mgzE
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
