Lee's P.O.V1049Please respect copyright.PENANAvxEkrhtMxs
I was so tired as I sat 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAp2FsWSsxdx
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAzSnWEgAkxK
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAVed7t0GSBX
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 1049Please respect copyright.PENANASMRZo2hHsP
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAFcvccfJrY2
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAIWdxW3nSun
The past two days have 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAyvdkmj5eaj
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ5Rwc100d
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 1049Please respect copyright.PENANABFgEDoCiQu
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being1049Please respect copyright.PENANACdamIzmT4O
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAz99yB0qkle
complain.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAbFHDygZN4b
Why should I complain? 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAmf95VLXztU
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when1049Please respect copyright.PENANAf7pt6R6Asr
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAxLEVYvvkRb
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAxQX8t50Nca
I really love my job. 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAp4zkoii5Mn
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAit8kXLFS8F
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAi0RsKDW9gk
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAqVCS3PCZNJ
Collins is strict and 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAyu3IrEmSRp
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y3t8ZZMEw
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAbPr6qsRLyy
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only1049Please respect copyright.PENANAe4lD615T6F
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set1049Please respect copyright.PENANAo3WpyH72Dh
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 1049Please respect copyright.PENANABU3vNBcMfR
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends1049Please respect copyright.PENANA0V6zzGHYW4
over the years.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAUDccfr6UWZ
And another reason I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAbIFUydXVrB
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected1049Please respect copyright.PENANAs2fayXmJlp
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 1049Please respect copyright.PENANADEwCRV2ATb
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 1049Please respect copyright.PENANARx89E8nT7I
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 1049Please respect copyright.PENANArgGGXbQyry
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAHZASazkqeC
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAu3Zd8JCy4H
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAN8fFpg9jZs
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's1049Please respect copyright.PENANAaRkW23IoMS
how they have managed to make it this far.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA1cI3cOzHel
As I remained seated and1049Please respect copyright.PENANAHkAXrELY04
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much1049Please respect copyright.PENANAHs8i0kFIDJ
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAWLhbh2etkx
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7bY8Q0Gil
like that at all.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAuXVk9tUiMu
Not that I'm acting like1049Please respect copyright.PENANAsCV6P4mX0g
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 1049Please respect copyright.PENANABwwGDezcoa
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA8hoUANE0k8
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZEpJWRyq9
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to1049Please respect copyright.PENANA0QZXRmisDm
help in any way I can.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKWAwvR3OHQ
I looked at the time on 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAkqMfJZcham
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKq1Ws92fqy
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAqpdRMJOjBv
I quickly grabbed my 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAm4pCbvRprC
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAhMnj3YK4tX
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAfNrgqlpUhu
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAn9DgarR0LP
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAUdA0oYI1OM
"Ya, we're done with practise."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAX3xYD7voD8
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAGRA8cWMQP1
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANADmUiB5IoCU
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAqyUPMhEybU
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAH2oxmweVog
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAO7i0ADpFp9
Whatever ounce of 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAYZG4Li6hFA
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6wSWDyea5Y
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7V4zSITgBn
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAnHyP7s3FRR
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAoWWJeHbyjM
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAEpPVQPfUnU
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."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAH41jzhj0xq
"Is Collins with you?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAuoFgCDBF7k
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAn4oeVRcYRc
"Good. I've something else to tell you."1049Please respect copyright.PENANApYWNvb29hV
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAOXfKzH0kbI
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAr52skpkujw
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAZfoViz6Fg6
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA5vWwFxJKpZ
"Tell me then," I insisted.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAtqZvdF9QHb
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAlOIXlY85It
"Did you and TOP kiss?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANADZ3YqvXVYh
"What! No! No way!"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAS0gJ2A0BZQ
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7bDPnFAMyj
"What makes you think that?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAcNnCw4YM1O
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAsJOMyW8nFn
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."1049Please respect copyright.PENANApss2ANmCVE
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAdFAgaHhM8f
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA8G9vrc3iS2
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAqwRJNqF509
"Try me, Sam. I've been 1049Please respect copyright.PENANALmh1KPoPby
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAGIKoQeabnE
on that I won't be surprised this time around."1049Please respect copyright.PENANALQukzzWHCq
"No, Lee, this time it's different."1049Please respect copyright.PENANArM7lumQZv4
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAl3rIDwm0gs
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAzhQWLPC3Am
Before Sam could say 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAq4AvQc2CxP
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA2SDxMtcocD
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA0loVUMgBW0
quickly realised that it wasn't.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA9FdocObHb9
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA3xdZpYpOxe
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAL2gCsq6zt0
"What the what! Sam! 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAx5NspOWYWf
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA0snrLO4X0m
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAJaMkqXbmgU
"Wait, hold on, give me a1049Please respect copyright.PENANAfiWyvhDHGk
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAf8sK9AzJyL
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAXg9xY5lXlz
tell you."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA9V16migMhj
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAg3K4P7Pm94
"Seunghoon from WINNER."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAESHFo20vgS
I thought the world 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAvqMCJS0cYD
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt1049Please respect copyright.PENANAzfcC8h1PFX
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAq44akqT4KH
"Sam, I'm going to faint1049Please respect copyright.PENANAY4mRQcIL2J
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAO3ceVLQ4oW
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8j6BCBc2m
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAwsqKz4wtqt
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAFpfy8l1g16
"I know, but I've a plan."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAF12Kj2mtMQ
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKYTXEeR2O1
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA90fKmFg6DR
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6JdZWqayS8
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAfdUZayFsgl
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA73kWrJmYwj
"Or you can just join in1049Please respect copyright.PENANAX9Iq0DvLcW
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA93uoNu6w0n
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAufb83rLsX6
"Okay, I'll be there. 1049Please respect copyright.PENANADr3jb7FGIX
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 1049Please respect copyright.PENANADNYgKGUbeu
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAx07fYqJymC
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANA1RUjTVNECK
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAuhAIbJNds8
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7vHLKkhJ3V
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."1049Please respect copyright.PENANARTdbU9ekuT
"Alright, I'm on my way."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAHN8QPUSuOq
I quickly cut the call 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAefrjHinYtH
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAivUnTo6VnJ
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA44lHuMggJn
the trending list, I was a little confused.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7rx4LkHxyb
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.1049Please respect copyright.PENANASe8SROnhSG
***1049Please respect copyright.PENANAj8a2Jn101w
Sam's P.O.V1049Please respect copyright.PENANA1TgTjxxTNX
I1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6qE1frRnvB
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA9BaJM3bGqc
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAB3ygiYraoB
the fans.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAxbPDI3Vjua
Since1049Please respect copyright.PENANA8sEPR7C2Cw
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAtMT4rWrfsM
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAFy9E7Q1HXW
massive Times Square complex.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAVhXTJYpSn6
So1049Please respect copyright.PENANAt3omtvYftg
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA0gzlPPiPnd
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA5CG2ZFB8d7
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAcOX0f1XWwt
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAhDyWxTFRad
serious.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAJYZCyCvfM6
"It's1049Please respect copyright.PENANAHVv8wA82dN
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAq822oInTB2
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAr7ATkJdRGC
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAgXdWGjO6wk
I1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZIYshsX68
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 1049Please respect copyright.PENANApSxaxXKNid
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAtNB7zDBtjW
somewhat worrying.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAPZCDOcG50y
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAaAaa9FxE5P
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.1049Please respect copyright.PENANANV9CgqazeX
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAtxkoj2cfTJ
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.1049Please respect copyright.PENANApFaEYWQ3h6
"You're right. I do."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAXgxOtGigGV
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAQRsTm5VNLh
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."1049Please respect copyright.PENANADmdk1hxImo
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA5pEW9CKJbX
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAgQOQs2jDmn
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAG2qZESE0HP
"You're1049Please respect copyright.PENANAdHQUIyhyqA
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 1049Please respect copyright.PENANADbaclJWS58
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAb7oIUiYcbN
around here."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6nBmzgIPVG
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.1049Please respect copyright.PENANArIkd6Dvhx5
"Who said we need to 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAzyZb352To9
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAaOwSyIsKZi
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAkvoiyYY7kJ
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAtrOK3pnIW9
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAGd8FvDuR9Q
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA9hS9PxSrHj
"Where?" Zoey asked.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA3dvLCdA4SD
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAWGzATtnChy
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAfhSpZZMjYD
"Wait, a minute!" I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAaZcnQUQ5eA
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAuYTdUgRX9e
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAsxFULMLfpG
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAts7EiRCXxn
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAbHriCeHnPJ
"Did someone just say 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAA6sOg1MHqB
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA123DthgVKZ
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANANLkSi1f8oA
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAEaAxfKwLD5
"You're doing that thing1049Please respect copyright.PENANALQivTwwcxs
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA83mo6sjNPL
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAD6wHK1u2Tp
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAd2BqwQLDBf
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."1049Please respect copyright.PENANALVehuvQyqA
"Ya, true," said Mike.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAibGGoEFbh1
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7DYc9awT1
"I'm not going to 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAVLlQAlP5RE
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and1049Please respect copyright.PENANAPBchrTAh5T
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAFgT4JTo59X
"No, I'm scared that 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAgkdS94Vimo
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAoFQTrDkh4z
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAGyInFkg5UE
I looked at Zoey, then 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAtDkdqX9Chs
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAG7i8uHqEAK
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 1049Please respect copyright.PENANACczqCYVkNl
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready1049Please respect copyright.PENANAEWX2tJZlTl
for that bumpy ride again.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAdmF5CbpzYN
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA9rjEfjDyyV
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAzaSLfCWGUH
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAT4SbZPaCuV
Daniel's mouth gaped 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA2wxdQhDVQ9
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7WMMYYARnj
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"1049Please respect copyright.PENANARZ8NPEqYTx
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAYr09ShUTrT
"Well, I think we can 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAEG0gmE7qWX
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so1049Please respect copyright.PENANAB9TJfXi3Cj
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAvNzvaAJVAY
"Same here," said Mino.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAIR8eE8h2SU
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKxxS6V8Csf
Everyone including me 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAUZghP4QTv9
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAU6zBX12rep
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAghQTMFAqLK
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in1049Please respect copyright.PENANAATnl8hh2Cu
Times Square.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAFlHN98n1Yd
"There's an open food 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAWpQg5zZHeM
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 1049Please respect copyright.PENANApMwW3qB0Ar
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAzS3JiAcnQ2
"Gosh, I've now realised1049Please respect copyright.PENANAHb9DAQosrX
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAyXrB968V2Q
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA1JCgK3B3OM
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAfGIxabFYRO
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAysC2jo89Rd
"No wonder you Toxins 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAFfawWQ4Or3
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAPBX4lRZWw7
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAp4yZYg0D76
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAK1s15YrTDa
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."1049Please respect copyright.PENANANm6HwbqqpV
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA2l9fqgb6fz
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAejwl0IUXCS
Zoey, Christine and the 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAPAE7d38vJN
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 1049Please respect copyright.PENANATUrFTc8oMY
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKr7QGeoUDc
going.1049Please respect copyright.PENANADZtzx59sZ5
"That's insulting," said Jennie.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAcHVEAu4yNc
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAJNQn0KWoJ8
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7HGicJ79Ii
I burst out laughing 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA8wJ6RIxpAL
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA3OtdlZR99r
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAnxBPnfJDmp
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA4mryBO8NCH
other floors because that would surly be something.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAjVCQTcpXJF
"Good one, TOP," said 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAzFj0h2GP6m
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAzBGBSArYnJ
have thought of that in a million years."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA4D7PSgjTGX
Everyone continued to 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAcpJvW7ONnM
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKvB5AM23XI
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAZdo3slxs4G
how annoyed she was.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA8v1tlEzn61
"I can't believe you 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA2WMBu1WLG7
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAT4ljXCFpPU
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."1049Please respect copyright.PENANATlClBrxxGx
"Don't worry, Zoey," 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA3PnGBo9Bm8
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a1049Please respect copyright.PENANAQaVfiEJUxD
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAAnNqWRzXLl
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAium99VTtS1
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAMGZOSkphMr
"I'll sting him so bad, 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAatp14ft2xC
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at1049Please respect copyright.PENANApRfCdILFmk
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAFXhLZa4lVv
"Oh, look, a stage," 1049Please respect copyright.PENANATdaEy8T4LX
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from1049Please respect copyright.PENANADN4krHtwWe
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.1049Please respect copyright.PENANApJRE79WDQM
In the direction Daniel 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAuHG5u93lGd
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA1RnPp7VOin
there and get up on it. We all followed him.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6r29EVgGHf
"I've missed being on 1049Please respect copyright.PENANANgFK0iPaZl
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAURChQvvCqW
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAQZIAV3Botc
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5owPjsbFj
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAnbMqEVIlSu
"We're just having fun,"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAQCkY59Wq8I
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA60oz64e7Tp
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAqJRfuVomTH
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAj9NxqN0nzb
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAUBLFX2RY9W
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAgSsI2nUQxe
The rest of us down the 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAGihy5sOdlI
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAp4O57QSwfs
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA2Hvog3XmB6
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAGmaV5RPbrb
side of him was a shocker.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAsrEoG4rfJ3
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA5zFXXPM1GH
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAkctKNP5wAH
"Mum would be so proud,"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAk47uOaJxCj
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAaXj94sN7T4
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAcGDIzBfaHY
"Haha, very funny," said1049Please respect copyright.PENANAzMPAfVjlNG
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 1049Please respect copyright.PENANABiq6QNPMZ7
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAt2Lo21ADP3
I looked at Mike and he 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA529m540rlS
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA1FMgEZhHBN
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA2gweLTMPYc
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAPvARj4RZUj
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAL9cKJahrTx
"I'm still not going to 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAYq8pHvJdDo
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAS4BP5oluSl
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAdbwM53ycT1
"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.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAeuboHe9i04
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAk3n01h72Te
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.1049Please respect copyright.PENANANCZmyZFIkT
"No," she said still not1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKIQljRrVLO
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAdOKOdOAH83
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAQ066GU2kzt
Everyone turned to look 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAODK23iHkQP
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA8B4SnzOWVk
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 1049Please respect copyright.PENANATxTOnSe5qG
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAu8U8HI8EDu
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger1049Please respect copyright.PENANAkaGS5ZxkhJ
was to sweet talk her somehow.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAdsXv6RC5Nj
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA2wlCG1u5PL
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAu2NA8Pk1Jc
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAYbFJtx8cXT
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANA72kyrXO5qd
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKUNlP3SiUR
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA2ppM1RZhtC
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAFH3Zx9w9iL
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAsVN5ajNQLJ
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6OQj67NREW
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAioQre8kugj
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAP7TaegjHg3
I snapped my fingers 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA09DqrK5qUB
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAarp3sVKPX4
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAef7bkqIglU
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZVgCidh7O
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAXI5sC6pzmb
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAyGZkDk21Uq
Lisa: You're sweet like 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAD6w4OeX6Mr
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]1049Please respect copyright.PENANAy4RU9fY9v2
Jennie: You're sweet like 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA8PdkUVjC3X
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAVYHjMeqqje
We all ended up giving a1049Please respect copyright.PENANA4MridrwxUQ
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAjbIeVyOLik
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAuo4aS3hwfH
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 1049Please respect copyright.PENANANwT8oT17St
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAa5mraNHEv0
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAxWBKKrqRaq
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAOvnegAe1jM
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAJivC33j5Xs
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.1049Please respect copyright.PENANARH3QILPdF4
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAMGKvHNYBxO
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAmMv94mwWJ3
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAT2lrPEJeVs
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAMQBtdS91WI
Im a fan all day.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAOX5a3xPE6V
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAFZkUYyppep
My manage behavior; Im into your major.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAFlfPLiIylG
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAmA5dTT0jO5
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7RZpGGHgUm
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.1049Please respect copyright.PENANASWH77EqMx5
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA5Iv6AeghMf
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.1049Please respect copyright.PENANABAKl8M7V7n
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAi8Fkr06fsF
The three couples on 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAUu3GBdjNzY
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And1049Please respect copyright.PENANAQq3GAkm8gu
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAohVUX9lFbt
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAbTR47HqeoT
three couples surrounding me in a circle.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAJQpYDQ86lf
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]1049Please respect copyright.PENANAnvDGhNkBGm
This candy got you sprung [x2]1049Please respect copyright.PENANAZKxnIULk65
So call me your sugar [x2]1049Please respect copyright.PENANAoHePQMEKCc
You love you some [x2]1049Please respect copyright.PENANAMP2LM0gxj3
I'm sweet like 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAk6gX0Q1GM8
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAQCqTo7ftUz
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]1049Please respect copyright.PENANAz400K56LYf
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1049Please respect copyright.PENANAA41TXcpMvS
Sugar1049Please respect copyright.PENANAL7meNRXM7E
Seunghoon came up on 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAvC8ho5e9rX
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 1049Please respect copyright.PENANADYxwzq1ajv
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAsywG9LgUUD
Down stage, Seungyoon 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6StDaB9q2f
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a1049Please respect copyright.PENANAtMCI9yvYBe
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAktLzk7sIju
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAqsxlo7KGWq
all did that simultaneously was awesome.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKCBIogOP4k
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAtR5T1VQPKS
All: My lips like sugar (x2)1049Please respect copyright.PENANAAxwy7leGuH
This candy got you sprung (x2)1049Please respect copyright.PENANAl8OP5wCFFj
So call me your sugar (x2)1049Please respect copyright.PENANAhA1ckO2EHg

I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAPC2fR69CnX
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di1049Please respect copyright.PENANAVxMtNQBPnq
Sugar 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAONZNsyMIVS
I1049Please respect copyright.PENANAGCQbcZ9RzM
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAm498IB1PKu
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAs04nhPxYUi
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAYUMyUjh126
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAQQyR3SwLcd
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.1049Please respect copyright.PENANApgFtQ1CEvM
Onlookers1049Please respect copyright.PENANAUTpd8luZMa
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA8g9XPinsVF
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAkrEWRTxglJ
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAAWALDSFkKb
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAt9P4QJVYfn
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.1049Please respect copyright.PENANARViBx2FyCY
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA3rag22MMy9
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAoOr98TmYu5
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAWzQlfL4kHy
"Ya, we really should," I answered.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA36TcX7x99p
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAfCLep4pzlZ
"Take a bow," I said.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA1uombRUbSz
Zoey who stood next to 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAPOG3NaIIty
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6VSU1cSgGo
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took1049Please respect copyright.PENANAGt9H8LAif7
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down1049Please respect copyright.PENANAjHs9hhH6pw
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAerzdSkoD8W
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAkUofbi1RIj
"Well, this just got 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKtmhxxzJh2
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAyQx45qYU0d
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAaXRAh0VVk8
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."1049Please respect copyright.PENANANf2bUbBMAq
The way Mike said it 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAHry9JHESSd
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAYhnSp1CwtF
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 1049Please respect copyright.PENANALtgqM8LxId
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA5tMxOCFeTI
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.1049Please respect copyright.PENANATqaS4MYAei
When I got down from the1049Please respect copyright.PENANAUnP67C88l0
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAyqYivvrQgf
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in1049Please respect copyright.PENANA8RGVhkiScG
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I1049Please respect copyright.PENANA2AWl8iXN9k
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAGObulGEQ0H
"Well, you guys sure 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAHojyNrbbSk
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAIDvvOhU0xm
had to warn the security before I could even get here."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA8xkiGquubE
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAm0mlt3YYj4
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't1049Please respect copyright.PENANApJM7oJWvcN
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKl5BZ4A51u
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAV5btR5f3Jb
"We just missed you, 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAycQpgrDh4h
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually1049Please respect copyright.PENANAleuNIXOnGP
with us but these past days you haven't."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAzgqt8JLjUh
"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."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAzt9bVatxVm
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAk0xQyooFJk
"He would've called by 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAu6wvA6AYOB
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAFgHekaOnc0
no calls from the grim reapers yet."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAr7aXfv2yTz
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA4RkS9J9FjP
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAvfWbzoF0ra
Immediately Lee focused 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAX4ZKYexKLF
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone1049Please respect copyright.PENANAqTPwVjkdOy
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAbDekRRTD4G
couldn't blame them.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA0OMqV8C9jx
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAgjp3VLndZt
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAMD07BDJaik
"How1049Please respect copyright.PENANAZNPPasQUmd
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked1049Please respect copyright.PENANAxfyX0ja2tw
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into1049Please respect copyright.PENANAdyhQfBJ5EF
your own dance hall."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAsgSKQoyW5m
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA88bgQSRXk8
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANA2v0qGPf0Ja
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.1049Please respect copyright.PENANACHKm87BlnN
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....1049Please respect copyright.PENANAt22RQpiOjt
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAji4xRHQGgH
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKiSmEyRba5
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAXfSxxyyyQY
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAIlvvWnhfee
"No,1049Please respect copyright.PENANAclNjgHJ41C
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAyLi1NbYPlY
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell1049Please respect copyright.PENANAvUyLLOV9TF
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"1049Please respect copyright.PENANAXiKGaUSzdn
"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.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAL01LXcDmM4
"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?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6BhvvQmhTW
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAy6EW19XRWp
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAUxS9auwx4J
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAm6mwD8OuZr
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAY7GHMfcgSq
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAFSHsS9HzQL
I1049Please respect copyright.PENANAXq2sodKbT7
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAarmng117N5
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAl83h0VPEaT
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it1049Please respect copyright.PENANAhHBfR8kjFc
was a lot to take in.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAkWWQswMuvo
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAt8ehb5CGrZ
"That's1049Please respect copyright.PENANAVA1GUv5wnk
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAqTslyBmfwb
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA2uHZnSvQEE
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7h1mkJ4Ngs
still find out anyway."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA3Szhw00e8t
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7tZaDj3oDe
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAGClWJZDxwZ
Everyone1049Please respect copyright.PENANALunyE5j99K
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6SjNX1OqgG
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6cpq0mt1g3
somehow the anxiety was killing me.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAuVcwwu2DoC
After1049Please respect copyright.PENANAoGJ1b3p7FR
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan1049Please respect copyright.PENANAUb5RaXRRIl
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the1049Please respect copyright.PENANAvliviodKMr
food court when Lee asked:1049Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ8JjyMc9J
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANA1mNf7tmCbN
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pq2yvxJdX
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.1049Please respect copyright.PENANARYk76Vufoc
"You1049Please respect copyright.PENANAXbp9wuxybZ
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAtg0hffQZeT
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA3u3tjDb1FK
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAiFmEOmuwqs
"I1049Please respect copyright.PENANATLKi8Jev9X
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAd6OS55lJoc
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA04PULiiscD
okay."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAhqhZsyphqy
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAehDEb4LDfY
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAg6rhZsiWPv
"You1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7av4V9471t
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA0uO3etZGcx
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAOGCMaaSXpV
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA1v6sgfyuqT
don't know up to now."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAh1oPwEssdm
"BTW1049Please respect copyright.PENANAPCXz4yovNU
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I1049Please respect copyright.PENANAbCKEHQPyqB
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAxMPd8yBL2Q
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA0YOSz9g3hN
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."1049Please respect copyright.PENANABPsDgTfTJw
"I1049Please respect copyright.PENANAOZNyAm0ZKb
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAnmZPeVvI4z
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAmvQ1J8T0ck
normal human perspective."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAuirxzTEeEF
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAHDv2wvO7WN
"I think she is," said TOP.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAtBR2yYQJK2
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7xL5FFzuZI
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.1049Please respect copyright.PENANARTnzRVKZMJ
Zoey1049Please respect copyright.PENANA1kC5Xtv3fL
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 1049Please respect copyright.PENANA73Kj2XhJcd
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA3QHTnDvmq2
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"1049Please respect copyright.PENANALcAbmw4XFH
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAXSrMlOIalM
Before1049Please respect copyright.PENANAj37bHwgWAH
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she1049Please respect copyright.PENANAhdJDi8KK0D
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAA07jSMmCJ6
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAPS3uPj5DYh
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAeyL5ZXDZTW
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.1049Please respect copyright.PENANABU5s5sR8QM
The1049Please respect copyright.PENANA7saICkvhTt
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAkdLK8kpB5C
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAKSVuqTZXeL
would never stop fighting no matter what.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAXoGdxNX6og
"I1049Please respect copyright.PENANAkbsGW3ESgW
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a1049Please respect copyright.PENANAOXCyfxI0PO
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAsMp1xlXTf4
it's full of drama too."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAy2yiRCXhFV
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA4ALoO6MInd
"Do1049Please respect copyright.PENANAkIV74mnOaf
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAEFZF4aItuz
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAvSf5yMPP9G
court.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAPUHpPjg8oB
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAgM9lRP8O4X
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."1049Please respect copyright.PENANADDC9B9Y19v
"I hope so too," said Christine.1049Please respect copyright.PENANA9r8Dt35J1N
"Come1049Please respect copyright.PENANAikjAsr2bGA
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAlLyErno5YX
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."1049Please respect copyright.PENANAccACnJjaYk
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAa2WgR3SiKS
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.1049Please respect copyright.PENANADXEAk4L1SC
As1049Please respect copyright.PENANATdfnf0jini
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning1049Please respect copyright.PENANABGxEHXk6YJ
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAtMjSBJ7yWH
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAcBaHrfYnl3
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAYyqojIDB4Z
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAzKcchY9nkO
I1049Please respect copyright.PENANA4oZnXHJV7r
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAR21UpkXhSl
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might1049Please respect copyright.PENANABN3bDTJAtp
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 1049Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6kM7HvD1H
of the blue may arise.1049Please respect copyright.PENANAemjlD10uPw
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
