Hanging out at Times 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yQ7jCI0I5
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriHwzAWFSW
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgFp9j13bu
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrp2avkkqw
But that didn't matter. 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63MMyqJR2V
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK3XijzID7
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAciDR29RSB
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kgLYRhukp
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmRhID01qu
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1gGK0ypUg
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLOYb1fawM
actually played around with the adorable kids.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd1vcTM650
There were plenty of 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQMPooNdqT
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxqQPnDy8N
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t2ZqVLkyn
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhXugCF3zy
fans too.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhe72SiVdp
The time we were done 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HzfPDamAc
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLi67f3hyq
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0IC3r4Vw3
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfzqUgsRPf
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcyCnf2lPO
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1O8Y7QWfb
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9TK38KRND
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfOsUCx2zj
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcccn1xv6V
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U09hWYypS
previous day, of course.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHuYKnlLmi
As much as the managers 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpnyS9mhyd
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8sZJsYwty
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNUHbJsIiM
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQY38Uc30K
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuwGBq81qJ
Right now, this very 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YBmKIzh9B
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1aPbOBeWE
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL2MRFE1AY
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGn9hN0HBG
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzrahhPK6U
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYIvV1IMQf
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS4om4s7Bq
and I just couldn't take it.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwO5oLB2hZ
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqgqeU3IxM
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlXJMHQrkw
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReJlRD75e5
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDqYV0i1OD
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsasQUvtxB
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEygb8Sg8X1
"I thought you said your plan would work."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFeMLqnqsa
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU1Wx6Pu9R
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXA6ayOU5o
I felt like slapping my 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrYaANnrN1
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcU2PNQXQV
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrXuhQ03A5
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOGXIAlZP2
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe2AaGP4ME
off.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlhxKY8VJD
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwWflo9g2P
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKPxK4wWfN
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT0EoRjqGJ
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5g9oEeSGc
I shrugged. She read my 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZlTa6k4G7
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2qht7FYKW
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdHkG57pMQ
me the whole time."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhCN3vlC63
I sat down on my bed as 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw3XGjjLua
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQt3LejJKX
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUwKbX1fpg
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFjCduwwPX
"Gosh, you really should1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv07WzKUHQ
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXYZRLE1D3
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KMQvgfyWY
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv61wOF6xIf
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wTO1Db5Pm
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcODEhAe90
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEaPHBCRFd
"Mike is annoying 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhXfmIW6Bz
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhMM2OfqWe
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkiY6dqXN6
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakttD23lPr
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzMuWdqONJ
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVd7CXB6nl
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajrzNbWsiP
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qFImJw5au
"Sorry, but just so you 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2qyGFsyS2
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqGMd5OKqw
that pic of you and him together."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jo1mH4TiD
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMP99FxUSv
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnI7TIFEQK
I blushed and at the 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGe5jiRt4m
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyg9SgzvOK
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR15ZE9oKY
other hidden agenda.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywXDLzyhB6
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XgJfcaCJW
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj652IvIhq
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjwGWc4G5V
I sighed in surrender. 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrHiK5BNO0
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozO4aAn8oY
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS0RP275jM
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhph419yO1v
Zoey shook her head. "You really surprise me how much you aren't really a fan of social media when most of our peers are."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW1oCJvmKz
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxDbTCW9Wl
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTkLocSKR8
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhbUHhQy22
Zoey had an excited look1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQixqRviBN
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXsAT5bvzL
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vPcfRxrBM
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFP0v6zj7D
clearly show all over her face.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQpFbdEUoS
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI3DzorLTi
I shook my head. "And?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkUN48CNKm
Zoey folded her arms, 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQClLPMmu5
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDawu7ymnq
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEhtrJtkpr
"Hold that thought. This1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCEVJPWuy6
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunx07qWRhS
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm1CfcfQiz
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzbx2O6zMt
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hrdVRvQ30
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAA2vxHxkm
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJwfdIf85V
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSNlbwGsRM
"Well, he hid in our closet."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsrFpa4zxW
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjCeqHWJXM
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRH4FbObiP
"Ya, why?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7fpqv0L1U
"Looks like we just 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AuCK5qAOW
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8XxXgX1mb
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUZmG6J4ct
Zoey thought for a moment over what I said as she looked at the floor and then back at me. "Mmmm, I guess you're right."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFt47sAeZx
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgrpHvezR7
"What do you mean? You 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoEyzKBA5v
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoJY9Emfes
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u61YUvJmg
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd6F9eyncU
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyhEKuQxVh
"Not really. But I can say he was. Just a little. If he was a full time stalker, he would've been doing so everyday."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGVJlBMxAS
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhovKHYGzt
"I wanted to but I kept 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LV0EBhadP
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw58z3SafJe
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0v02fPcGf
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4wUKkDWu1
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKvWbvdh6u
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb0Q0lOQeM
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQkr9AnWZI
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIffOyTQPyt
I quickly stood up and 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1UdCJUpVw
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstzrJBRdhi
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r0ZYLvbCs
her back.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡismY9FYz5O
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OnxwFpYEH
"Zoey, you're going to 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIHaYv5V1D
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqGBf59VLc
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67zJFqJYwn
own hair pink in the next ten years."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3U5WPhS3M
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6jvrLV9Mh
"You're lying."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AoElYvAj8
"I'm telling the truth!"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtidNbt6oul
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo6CpS9Vtu
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyZQcZUryV
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsjckdNUgR
"I can't tell you that."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U32OggUQ0
"Why?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwKhXv4TXD
"Because it's 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDNtk4KsjP
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiuh6rCwvh
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadOJZJGV3K
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuC0zx9sps
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS698DvIYwb
"Yes, I was," I said as I let go of Zoey's hair and Zoey blew out a sigh of relief. "Turns out, I'm not that good at it at all."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92PXMImkpk
"No, you aren't," said Zoey as she massaged her scalp from where I had pulled her hair and she looked at me with a frown.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEEWk7XlRz
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBX16CkMof
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANKWLmMenW
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKoRn6Mfgm
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfWbsldqvT
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE92fpAf3iC
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb6kYTYaTi
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCAaItLaZl
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7jo2G7dfB
I playfully rolled my 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubanfXJg7F
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW58W4KgOD
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9xm1g5DsX
also looked worried.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabMvNeIy4D
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVIh3B0jDY
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl1yIhgRqw
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqykGomlwQg
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTloV2dvxG6
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqz0hoV4cR
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyNjShyuD6
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qiXyTtDCp
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQgSavoCD3
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxHsJj6ZC5
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxoymanlHr
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYYK9d8AXN
"Okay, first of all," 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAYx4O2FMz
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1maojwIVl
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV8gl5dlEN
he wasn't mad at you."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpPOARI1MC
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJr5yWr9FE
"That, he couldn't say."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtTh5nJpMd
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EHQ5nA2Eq
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9AAliSNQT
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6BIP1deFO
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M3QsmhyGb
Christine pressed the 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0zeWkKx4l
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaUurQiNaN
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBP4m8uuI5
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8hbtqqsYB
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu0Z1g7tco
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMcQOT1woO
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt3908KUG3
We got to YG right on 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrUosN9rR9
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vc3iQz3dQ
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSqBLhAQfR
arrived a few seconds earlier.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhUMZ9P92A
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg7OiLnRZq
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HTv8AHZjv
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJiR21GBFE
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnJWfXCVQy
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FmZEb7sDV
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZU70PDMaX
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yvSSf4u5z
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBjYnTLUAn
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAdFfKzLUO
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLKaMiSwjU
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRysPjOspA0
"There will be no such 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmGEVboLKy
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG7sXI2jlV
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqybIGRbXi
"And you're making it 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkSXF2Oggc
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vRBb75HY0
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplYumr6lEc
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9evK0gCN8X
"Trust me, you don't 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN2LgGfr9b
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdMVeDiPRw
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL4SDfH0Ol
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4ZOJurcqn
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxmAImXUPm
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpYBkSSyfd
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYUPULzxR8
"Look, whether they are 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0uoNTr99Y
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5pBmq629H
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5JqT754bv
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFWPRtVUbl
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04aHp8cET9
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzqcnpwL5q
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAxJaQEt7P
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMFG8SNpgT
I gave Lee a sad smile 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H0L4QJSy8
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIWqNcYi4q
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51R8lgmFHv
your life. Like suicide.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu6KpBuL0Q
We started our way 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvhBZ0DDce
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9iySfMtvK
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiVX2XoMQ5
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N1bk660sK
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHZPPNmAG8
I quickly ran out of the1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTFyE3c8NT
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp8iXiUVCC
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ4lNIfsFn
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lrMpZkYne
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DlNCxvXhB
check for it inside.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9JCOtAmYJ
When I got to the 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpDWlY8sMZ
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgnLRqk9zt
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NoF0law6m
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFVwRtZBaC
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6apoNWX3lq
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMsN5AVorI
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYgG0AYrUH
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkhsJHbCKi
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZai7Vt4wE
"Seriously, I can sue 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJSvdyXpe1
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVuJqOZvoc
fast. I never even heard him coming.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4VAam2x62
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAA1nu2J9N
"You're not my bodyguard1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX1oNo0TZb
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxZNVJyl5f
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0nm3BV49P
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7EOybccan
I blushed. "You know about that?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM2pQNAQDm
"Everyone knows you have1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMmv1nuaWw
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLgl6JalKM
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8Q70ywxhi
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIWr8SlNpY
"Looks like I did the 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRSPJ0cWyt
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI48LBYijDs
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ZAfnxXI2
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0gORfTSsv
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ07uWJ0By
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YgI8JcEya
"And because you're a 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvteCFxhDO
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnShuhOf2A
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2syF3yxAtK
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DNX60x9Kd
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLqv5Y3OLY
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0xSGJIvWt
"Can you at least tell 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTNOv1hvsn
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMajCVEeLnx
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtZcchpxO1
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcaoBmNyhf
"What dramatic effect?" 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHM7Tj3lY1
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzBrMQEKCD
came closer. I took a warning step back.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb2MCO8Qc3
"If you hadn't followed 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN6yCHgV4j
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyvR2Msm8F
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvUxKIH7fR
room."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiJi4hwK29
"What surprise?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lY5dFuNkt
The elevator stopped and1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlyCMWwe8p
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOn3NKLLmD
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwckCQSJa2t
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgDFHAdozP
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGxLEzRZxq
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yUen6pZX8
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHZketP9SJ
"I already have a guess," I said.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt83cpz7IT
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlW81PaWrt
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3oXUPVbBl
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwLrphMA5K
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ty2EdjGho
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGgQsphSrU
When we reached the 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoNwR7HP4U
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXKPiWytHp
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9p3n3iy7K
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICNxK1iwPE
In the conference room 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdlrhuMMDD
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF6Gcs7TGo
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWcpIxIWXm
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BGuMPSfwy
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg41IW2eGN
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqvyPHL1PJ
though I did my best not to show it.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpSsZhbMti
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eUSRP0ZRf
I looked to the opposite1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbNylB4o7z
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9EAROXPtv
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NvIAjFTPT
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhLqmIXZES
"You don't have to act all high and mighty, you know?" I said to the person facing the wall. "I know it's you, GD."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTxrJJUgrQ
G-Dragon quickly turned 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv916GUfAq
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutujYwHu7F
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17NtX9mYPc
"Hi, Sam," said G-Dragon as he leaned his elbows on the table and his hands under his chin. "How did you know it was me?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEsJLevDrj
"The message you sent me wasn't too hard to figure out that you would be here," I answered as I held up my phone.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvF6XX06tC
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhMMTLaTIE
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPvYzxWVCC
"Wait," said Lisa who 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46HwDc2Tjc
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1XiomfGhU
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lpIaO3X79
"It felt simple and 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBpQBzDbrF
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcVZxYtTDl
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Snk4Cam0V
with G-Dragon today."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SYtzTrwJn
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDXmsmF7ra
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p6qjn7dCX
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx2P8rsBr0
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nQ8N7Na5v
"Ya, I know I'm a 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB745Nyk2MX
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLy2hk79oH
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn8u27R4kJ
"If you mean us getting 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV6fYoQbUK
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5c9tJbd7t
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YOjIKNNIN
by coincidence."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLq9quyl8C
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnyrbfYHTr
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSJGHpBvuC
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7aLEDidWN
The rest of the BTW crew1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86YEymSNOm
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrDWLGB964
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm7uHbrU4l
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2xp7Ro41V
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnyxEOjAuz
"Hold up," said Zoey who1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Hmu1ZYmO
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6naaCSwjrT
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdT6FnTPaE
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPD5lBqqGH
"Told you we'll 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0PDWJtmOr
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2taaZikPLf
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbsAmzu0zA
"But is he going to do 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv9nKkUY5S
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykNorh8TBg
didn't really meet by coincidence."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWqLjbHJKY
There was silence in the1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA3hWoUF6c
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctFl0DnG1e
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3cn3VSndC
planning to do.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9oku4ZdvB
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7OtcSF3xK
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy1tOmSH5w
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVvca7ciJa
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQIUGJt4D2
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4iQdDpk5B
"And also because he's 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN51ZCuoiWw
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ1TaKhotX
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEpqZvrIwo
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsvA627owL
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNataNXCyT
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPSt6WLRxk
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CgyoWKj0L
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFGXJ8bL9r
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvd7QO1QyQ
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQID9oy4XH
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykT1eltNgE
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIK5cf7sSo
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDZzY3cxof
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI0bo3DQoe
deal with G-Dragon instead.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIDsTFB0Bs
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit1FqBTZrQ
"What do you want?" I asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpa9o5eWbC
G-Dragon looked at me as1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNTPTq2Bsv
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyRgDzLTdc
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hKZcva1Ep
came to any conclusions.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0yjNzSHJ5
"To make things clear 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB4flLXxy3
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiRh2uxGBW
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOCaXjd0Xl
thinking about doing the same thing."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl4DvDY4Po
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnLbfvJiij
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGigG0j3Cb
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MDtkoYmlg
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFPBD7Y8Pg
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Y3TcGQN2
"That's the problem," said G-Dragon. "You guys aren't going to let it slide and this why I came here with a deal."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPm6aOFUSC
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjlp51reaD
"All's fair in love and 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqWFMAIfmh
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYUA4zUcEk
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tCsVGqHNq
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlPh3dynCc
"Come on," Christine 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwVvYpklwv
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHOf1ULbKV
won't be here for long and you know it."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYIpUgGqle
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRsew5NuIm
"BTW is nothing but a 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DRvCjbTUJ
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZYO0whs5J
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagrqWhGZHV
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YIIjwWTCL
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvRbwckz0B
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqjYFlmoNs
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QdWueWu46
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZAfPkW9Pm
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GSeoCa0p7
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWOV0zF2E3
"See, there's a lots of things BTW can do though it might only be for a short while," I said as I smirked looking at G-Dragon.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZNHdK4iqr
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6VIDK0401
Upon saying that, the 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7KoVUbkX8
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkQ5ZEPcv9
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R83YwMx7f
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9bEolX3mJ
seated stood up.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd4RiGqJqI
I gulped. I hope the 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIi0Nk55vx
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbc4YtGDLf
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIA3El1XFp
The two managers had 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g6rlz504o
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd7MkAufUt
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrNHDQwpLw
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfonlwAraI
is wrong.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh83NZyTt5t
"Good that you're all 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hWCEdQlWU
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCrfzfMEaV
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CeY8bmW0R
I have always hated it 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmLABFH0vM
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalO4oFcLAa
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RAT5GVUqO
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJVK9QGzCi
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRFgqAfDdQ
their seats.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTpG2rdNge
The two managers and Lee1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaELatR2bg
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d3oovf2af
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbOnuthnFG
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGtpBHxWLH
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTie49gt7co
was.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD75n4QMa4
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvrjas010L
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu8fSvZrV5
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs5A8Xl3fY
Zoey sighed loudly in 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRLy02PfQi
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKrlS7PlXH
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiRNR60dlf
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYg6NllubN
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj1tD3CQDu
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxIO1hn2mN
The two managers 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgL8K7JJZ5
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pknD8rJeR
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDveX0Ez6D
That was so not cool.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIT3zVKemS
"You never cease to amaze me, Zoey," said Yang Hyun-suk. "And you're right. This BTW thing was nothing but a one time thing."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaTkhoeIvy
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKZcywrjXS
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVYgJYuOhR
My ears perked up when 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCiVSCvLgO
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EvclGrijs
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts5OeVR6p0
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt4utAenKr
"We heard you outside 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbP1XG6wpI
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCqEFf4fEO
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq24W9tLsjM
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnJIWypyzo
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx2iDcTDr2
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBXSdSg07W
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wGliwJpbk
through further scrutiny about this decision."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU3mfvBDt1
I smiled. Even if they 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iz9QKgVlV
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoHq6Nw9ev
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlddiPM7vf
There was an exciting 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4C0B6r9uu
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMt0C8yyWg
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsjQm5MdEX
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kg7nVpOkk
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkiCVgxVpq
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWuaPDAXYW
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1KQ8PbHF8
I turned to my other 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC4Eb70yDC
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVPFI6fvmg
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuauyN5aRhX
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6INtN78F4k
now, didn't matter.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh9jQqn3kZ
"You heard them when 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0wlmyxATn
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgXmyTKbjz
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ43t5vDu5
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyTDk5timx
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5VORW2uNG
"And so even if we tried to object to it you would refuse us to do so because the decision came from you, right?" I asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpXEOdYL3m
This time it was me, or I1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1ZZvNekeV
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7MRAMN409
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFsqpYVZ7y
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyRdFYKziS
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh9ZgwMoJW
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ1cCRKbZ0
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaYUF3pQNi
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaOXwuaNUD
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXpQzZrJ97
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rDphSagQl
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMgltKFUaF
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ261qN1ymdj
"We all agree," said Daniel.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf4DsgViod
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYBgRHoz2g
"But just because it 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgFQKpkXk2
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs9rXldB2h
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjcGFcH59P
"Okay, so that's settled1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSwnCiVBbA
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9MIANs2nI
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoN4ZlVEyT
BTW official."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjffFiqdg4J
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLvqIcOgcw
I noticed that most of 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme22dWW8oF
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkpJxdkxKI
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPnu15Xeih
when she looked at me and I grinned.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rF1G7Q3dh
"Okay, then," said Yang Hyun-suk as he rubbed his hands. "Now that's been taken care of, you may go but, with one condition."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yWx4fdczg
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfxNztx6Q4
"Before we make BTW 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMatWvoM6So
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzAykoEqYl
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIOIQ8VpyF
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKGCY3ntxT
low for a while. Is that good?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lR2lPmGrK
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ip3yBjIOY
"That's fair enough," 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKgqD4ryPR
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8HGS8jyqH
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZj0PyewCs
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavr3ktLYr2
so."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Bqo5VTZ6
"So you want to crush 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuluxVywHAF
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNL8LGV8Ly
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RpZerkuAP
strategy."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTYkbrNz0w
"Then if all is well and1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVUsSMNTJJ
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPQxjK9Ncu
updated and not a word on social media."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZi8JCViue
I stood up from my seat 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ9Vbao0OW
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBDv9JWky3
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSASLFtLUPB
walk out, I stopped them.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkzO8taj6I
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJzJcbH8Fr
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYkwZGeZeM
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhGKQkgkyW
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0ykpcqxlU
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xPnL8RrE7
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeXoTug68g
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNQOS9xEa0
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnPd7jLQ1A
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gj3IV0K6g
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHAM19CfMr
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy75mH7eew
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2BC5AbRbZ
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV9Rt1QipB
"This is like the best 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa27gfkY7v
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYMSY6BQIL
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjlFftiXhd
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHMBRTy9DV
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EU9CR4gs6
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PLanTWzRS
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LhUnRa8ev
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYtgdprzO3
"I knew there was a 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5KvmlqiBc
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV2z5LQQan
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANdGsUCarZ
G-Dragon.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhqBWw9CnI
"You knew?" Christine asked.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc0vribCse
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBNwD0gJn2
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WkEMW1a54
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35X5kLdGl1
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPWQeX0BuI
"I'll just say, I'm mad at you, GD. But since you did us this huge favour, I forgive you," said Zoey as she smiled.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc4yGJXEAS
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkND6bSihdp
"Well, you guys can tell1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYftcXu69kx
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qp3Bgdzjm
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3ZdrFHVmc
aren't going to go into the same car."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx1VwY0nRc
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUEAwnKmee
Everyone else started to1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgmXNTYUFj
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VlWrV5Ov5
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG8In6FlGJ
only G-Dragon and I.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7pDF3sYNp
"I'm mad at you," I started.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg8R8qCx9g
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38oklqIJAu
"Save it." I held my 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHIlMwpHXt
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpgAuFdcVA
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFPR5DKfr8
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fy9hr8796
a war again."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Zfb4wTF1
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY4CVJJCmS
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuO1WzGzY1
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M5elkYpxd
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdO05AX2DR
G-Dragon looked at me 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OZhDxqART
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDsJtuF3sr
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJOmCwGQ8p
stab in the heart.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbxw8zT7OO
"You're right. I realise it now because I didn't get what I want. But I want us to forget that all this ever happened."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F04JVKSql
"You know, the others 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4H8Nzbvfa
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviO04yrNo6
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5Nk9vEBIn
with WINNER yesterday."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbeEw55Uq1
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJayeHpohB
I nodded my head. What I1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6HgkfkyG9
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCNokNn7km
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b4kVY1eBC
of Seunghoon and I.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIll3FnFjBP
"You know you and I can 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nnbSRgyc6
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DXeYzf19P
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrmInFDPoq
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnsH0v2mFE
down the rocks."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8JfMDKe4y
I headed for the door 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCIqpyLzZF
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIXIseCOAJ
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w36dE59Us
Zoey, waiting.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBrxDLQkyw
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFODNXKuvBr
"I sure hope so," I said1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq2OtIybiV
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOeOwqOb4v
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LRosc2t6n
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkaUMQza7l
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxYxpGOM3f
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmF9COdWi1
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Nvz1Th87
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4owacavU0D
"You know computers are 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4fIDHInlO
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr8c1joRFv
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd0IN1uVHy
supposed to."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhK2clPY54
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHPNY7UFuV
I smiled. "You always call me that."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7QDHL8zOs
"Ya, because you're smart too."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP7BVKhOQT
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU5yoTNvrD
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFY5cuqGka
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtze9VppyYP
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDDT49FuYU
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdqWNjyD8J
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
