Hanging out at Times 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIggUoP7fS1
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPiSJvWvEy
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxPKWOo3Ij
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HzQa8DO95
But that didn't matter. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc0U444n4n
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZGaVXrEEz
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85mLuieiM2
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9xs9vIxNc
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxzl4OFrI9
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDTUQwzacs
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MWbuVBaXE
actually played around with the adorable kids.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYxBFG79q8
There were plenty of 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oL6z3TdVm
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF3E65jtU2
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbK3eTM2AP
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vAuQxUJQc
fans too.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDhwVfyb91
The time we were done 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdm5iSUqYo
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTirdF0L2gm
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmQsIGmAcu
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0cPxMFtQR
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7sCRcnTY1
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk8NBziI5e
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymOYOmtppO
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVHSQAWQ2X
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUesPo4LRbg
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwaTFdF1xh
previous day, of course.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQxAoe5M0E
As much as the managers 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQiPFY3wDW
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0MvEaLNSG
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLjVXxlOT8
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOyJikyPQI
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAImmllRI3
Right now, this very 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbClvH3Rb8
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg64NzVOgw
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYGitFY1Mu
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUCbR5OogX
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Be19uNYPU
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu3TVFMwAk
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYbcBSGkSW
and I just couldn't take it.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe97bRG7pkB
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1TqKZ8Qs6
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE19B7s1cSi
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17knfih5YJ
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnM3hhsiYt
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWxGoyEjoh
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2APfrzHU6
"I thought you said your plan would work."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDyFbGtWfP
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm04HM5bvsh
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SNTBSGSAy
I felt like slapping my 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NLRj4fpd9
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF1z860IxH
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhqkFTbS81
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAayYCOCmyn
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjYsfIXd8V
off.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zAclwea96
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDueuto6aF
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE0nH4msO3
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS5J4BRRu3
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aB21pzg9k
I shrugged. She read my 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHdnCdvHRc
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbNa7OhQOy
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pn637KDz6
me the whole time."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSSVbsQOWb
I sat down on my bed as 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn7EnYhhdj
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84JqOjU4S5
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlCEgYFhtP
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BH0VppsCp
"Gosh, you really should498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESaDRNBg3M
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaENa9rGnvf
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ekdSt6CaJ
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yLF0tpGPM
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnypbdhG5Mn
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQFSXq9MfP
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDtKEx7xrf
"Mike is annoying 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtgmIsCM6X
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hroZwn9w7
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU0UOzh5gS
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ymZ76ZLqp
"You're right. I should burn him instead."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCivi1qtjTH
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z0a2a71Az
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjG1mF6Zxx
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthNSWMs4jx
"Sorry, but just so you 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ayP3gtEZu
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhX2xsqbiW
that pic of you and him together."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfC6RhtMvX
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgYg0ri6kD
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRG68tc94m
I blushed and at the 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5xGGxZJg0
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviOXpGxIhy
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3rjy0TyC5
other hidden agenda.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzXWjIyAoH
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmrTqpTJut
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv1Es7tIgl
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW5XcyCUlX
I sighed in surrender. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo0VSutJo4
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb3fXmFMPA
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vMKAo45Am
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdEUeFLkHp
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."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr52nfwHI2n
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r0lSBjZjB
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc9tCsaq5j
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qlVHmQsFQ
Zoey had an excited look498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGgpOxPsK7
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05y7pe7kcQ
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw2zaFKwnJ
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm4hjwppCU
clearly show all over her face.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs65a7YZAaf
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO41a2BKaAt
I shook my head. "And?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgQq3kJGOd
Zoey folded her arms, 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknZE2IBu3N
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2i79UD8WF
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkpUoKaPO1
"Hold that thought. This498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54zDTHJSiS
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmMYmehQbh
after Seunghoon posted that picture."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRIB2uHRAI
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlO1RaoDfY
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ndIKZFtFm
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GTmqkXzCt
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOhc5iVhqP
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjkCSGkD7J
"Well, he hid in our closet."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24oNPUAPmV
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8TlQpnItI
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzw6W8lsv1
"Ya, why?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTssEvYI1y
"Looks like we just 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2POsB77VWF
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGED30fpnG
whom we consider perfect as our bias."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpFq2kjqTZ
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."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4En8WNha8
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SW1uMgi5W
"What do you mean? You 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J1rH7Tf3I
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc8SSZSBLh
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPOATKAcXr
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu64sW4XI3
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznfzlq4Ukj
"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."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiP8skVy9U
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VLK6QCQa0
"I wanted to but I kept 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz4Se0noCX
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU4RwqhBra
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaRvHfL4I2
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3dQ9Tin7C
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptIM105vNn
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKDvK2vikw
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqX1BK0Lz4
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECqhMzkaU5
I quickly stood up and 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGBUYDPy82
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8n2xJxPJM
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekGarvrvzK
her back.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MHYK6eKvF
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSLo3F5m7G
"Zoey, you're going to 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNb0Y2cxxT
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgVUdDIfA1
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN0qTd27t3
own hair pink in the next ten years."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeroW1mwQm2
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgEKzBXpZv
"You're lying."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFvVWaxfZn
"I'm telling the truth!"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HSpyAG1Kl
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTH80SOCzM
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3LnhNC0jd
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2TLujWfMr
"I can't tell you that."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjRhMujDK1
"Why?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz3ia89p46
"Because it's 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPow2dcVRA
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAcAH5e6ch
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1FOsF1CVH
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zy97rDlZu
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJyTway9HM
"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."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RZUAZzAvK
"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.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qByVR4CSZ
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYRjMVFD3U
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi4LKVPlKO
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZzOTS1QU3
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChULFlQGfx
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YXY3PlQFz
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsDmj8oz38
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMruCPf44b
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiIG9Ps0Kn
I playfully rolled my 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxtlUBwp3j
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSDVe4DoF0
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYF1gxlOQo
also looked worried.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l0quG90q7
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsvduaCGbt
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxnWpxoU6S
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DGO18IEe8
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9fey44zkc
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiNLNMv51a
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz2iW2gZfK
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvolSMA5vVc
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXkCHdnGqF
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewszIKtsrE
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nm7Rw6lwO
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5O0poqEqo
"Okay, first of all," 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsKTAxXlAX
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNS1XqKwgZ
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdunutqdUCD
he wasn't mad at you."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihti4pWJNl
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8mf7c0qYo
"That, he couldn't say."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf97i8UjDIo
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2Gxh8gOzm
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA0fKNdujL
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOJ9bM5Nbb
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7WHhmam3p
Christine pressed the 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKGl9ID7Cr
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBpgP4yhhP
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggJjEe6iM9
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e3uGf9AZr
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIivct0PxG
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfruQv4QwrG
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvdLWxTEP0
We got to YG right on 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyekhqATgD
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKAsVfqAUV
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp5oZ9wFn3
arrived a few seconds earlier.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWxlytSx0C
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnBW2FikVA
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4TsCmRZUL
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86pIy7u30j
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WdpwWVvp5
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErjZBY2Bu3
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmofCQb4aSo
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqZ2jGIXrb
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffcb1G1ctL
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMtBF0dwh1
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HOXzT4dpn
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmCMkZj2qF
"There will be no such 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14A1TtSQEj
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRvgB4VBzg
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6XYjuE8jU
"And you're making it 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj6QYQZAIB
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBwjSHnYsQ
pouted his lip and scratched his head.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuegPbfdLc
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Z7XVldx5
"Trust me, you don't 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZQWjNwZzC
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ0mtMQ2Wh
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbE2OwyPkh
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtsUcGHFr2
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD1ce6Qmt8
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGHrK1xyrb
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC65zxvi4p
"Look, whether they are 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5y8ZFhdwl
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqXhOkP9aD
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5TtBcMbX4
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45Hl5xt62S
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9YHWrVg0F
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMgcGblSz3
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rxzBjwYou
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkESlFn0ydc
I gave Lee a sad smile 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGsTmKIa0B
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ77U5F2jHe
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLzIlTwDxK
your life. Like suicide.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ypUcAzPbo
We started our way 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6vH5Qiluw
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguYOWBftLK
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE64iwrVuo
and my jean trousers. Nothing.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34bE3SAXlS
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbHABPqPzu
I quickly ran out of the498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIBWBbyjtF
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdyLoKiP57
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOc9N4D0PW
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk51tAQGPK
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2jpxItMOF
check for it inside.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtdnLRll0p
When I got to the 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUrF7qR5Xd
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwp7QjxOMl
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gbRaEvVZa
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9NAQjThXd
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7b6IBz8Cd
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S7YPiwaXW
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAij50TkcG
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVKd09BVtf
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzaHuRp7yz
"Seriously, I can sue 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWjGXawYqL
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1LgY9b7gm
fast. I never even heard him coming.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF9d7Tkv80
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlum5IEdAJ
"You're not my bodyguard498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuxAmbL4Dj
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qhAy4SRhd
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu65HuaN1wm
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpARvbfmP04
I blushed. "You know about that?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EGttJ0ZJe
"Everyone knows you have498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW08l3qwr7
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOGDeQuNsc
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92gWKKDsrM
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0RYI7T5ZY
"Looks like I did the 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhUAAIBG0c
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYwYfI8a0f
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPssyo92x8
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1ONZ9tt0M
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqyWORp6zN
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wkv2omUmG
"And because you're a 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCLXcUZj52
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KBAhPoilf
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2jhsdUFXq
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrbJfNdA6d
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxTAFZ67Lx
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsZ0R8qH7U
"Can you at least tell 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfCkJBbGGS
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXZ6Zj39jy
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawpARiwHrl
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTChY8e9bv
"What dramatic effect?" 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrEuU4KxEd
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXf3zUbhaK
came closer. I took a warning step back.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d92wyxGtQ
"If you hadn't followed 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrPMkuJ6WB
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzodPg9miH
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y9P3oDmNc
room."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWLtQ7E3TI
"What surprise?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUFuXRteLl
The elevator stopped and498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54dP7PfdbX
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8gYKotySX
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEtuj7IKdi
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQgfMRlDUc
Seunghoon and I stepped out.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fDknf2ae2
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLohTg28Xx
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsDAtl7yUr
"I already have a guess," I said.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoHdh2ECIq
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4c5W73XEG
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTLYRdlqMg
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m8xKsehvy
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliqim3m6ww
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxREku9cYB
When we reached the 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pnnBgtrRd
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSuBOGJe4u
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndMmAOlice
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tqXw7JJ6w
In the conference room 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT1iK5JFRG
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5WPt1pyg2
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJWaKRnXF0
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe30Fo9CgsV
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ563AQL8luO
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5jPvej9Di
though I did my best not to show it.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVpImg0mzO
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBCTYs2kk4
I looked to the opposite498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0GWIVOWAD
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg5LppEVkw
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaesWkvTL1
turned their backs to us facing the wall.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJhcLQakmG
"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."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE233v48SH
G-Dragon quickly turned 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwRMYjqURZ
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmdGqqBi6y
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sSa4g6WSj
"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?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4BDIOJ1zc
"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.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6cTqEvA7M
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyHNkJTuB9
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmhqDIbXmM
"Wait," said Lisa who 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybGfda7WYC
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR1lkiSKcM
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z051g0c7a
"It felt simple and 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BhDTQxESq
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmGFB8qSBx
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrcFVYD6w1
with G-Dragon today."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3gyLUQ0ez
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4XpJuEbaq
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RQMKhqDzg
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmTkQuIm2s
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdp74t6qJO
"Ya, I know I'm a 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDXskzaOIs
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YRkkLPLVE
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJfdu5ecGM
"If you mean us getting 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKKFAVBZCL
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbtkwUKbtg
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTSJq9RPh0
by coincidence."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBrllu84gu
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnXxaUgxRC
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxYztOdsfT
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qpi5YLrRz
The rest of the BTW crew498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85lb2bLEzy
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tySzBsp2u
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgnUlho6ek
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySVHtTDR6M
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgFQO7TpiQ
"Hold up," said Zoey who498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR7Mz0dj3u
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGzIK4oh9P
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyZx6GAwnu
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6DMHMGlzO
"Told you we'll 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH3XMafAhn
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLH1yyvGNe
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ887qdQGjTu
"But is he going to do 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPVr3sUh7f
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm6o4MfaJL
didn't really meet by coincidence."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBizOGOOBD
There was silence in the498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt8dUqzBFQ
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CbgFlVNkR
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQnPFINosD
planning to do.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NUzYbCJu9
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV2aWTTZSl
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcmO0yErDA
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGxpUN9Nnu
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYquX2h8gp
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtZr4kxcPP
"And also because he's 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUOap4qPSz
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j14D4aoWi
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V8ren0idC
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW5VYMpabs
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD5HqcoDHX
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd1LIuGoF6
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPWHlaSlj1
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibzly39uUI
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSm0J5ru78
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy877CuGCG
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17kbu90jXd
G-Dragon smiled. He had 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZeLoXxPoh
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpFnl7wtT4
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPPZQ0MYoF
deal with G-Dragon instead.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSt4KBjFBP
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa7ZYRC6xm
"What do you want?" I asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7dUhLrcDs
G-Dragon looked at me as498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMA6oDLEZ9
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dNhFlR8me
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdJfLoTK51
came to any conclusions.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOksaWkV1S
"To make things clear 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzHO83PAqX
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7V9VaGEtb
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2xUmca5BE
thinking about doing the same thing."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZqwhO8Mfb
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7dT0aUJL8
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmOpzgP6sP
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LPUo3AB5F
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEKR8heCC5
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8A4mJVyEp
"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."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0UbSe1msn
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDJNIOy2Ad
"All's fair in love and 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS4ekfVkI1
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp95qa0wPU
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nTcZghyPc
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbmYE7pDK1
"Come on," Christine 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKl56JEI2N
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbJCKflvJx
won't be here for long and you know it."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IDG9o8AS9
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb7pKPyyQT
"BTW is nothing but a 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM8zFaA0Oc
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChELR5M7VH
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw0JKO1KZM
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j4GC6cxeM
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAQnz275t7
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiJhFsnT1y
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTf8WfBmH0
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95RDNNA7Hi
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vvcKgcF0v
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJu372J6Pm
"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.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4KpwMzixd
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZW6XoxoYQ
Upon saying that, the 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuytGEo6ivX
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXIRTj5qT4
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVI9VYmaJj
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPTbE6gcGt
seated stood up.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjqdbtkNVj
I gulped. I hope the 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29lkPcx5Fa
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlLXEJD3s6
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2PjAU3OPL
The two managers had 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcStY8QxbUx
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVJRIYsSxB
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaQ6AO2uRk
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P4zOSbFuk
is wrong.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e5mwxA7JK
"Good that you're all 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCKBJM89i7
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw61fNxHLo
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6HIWOIxQV
I have always hated it 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U8Sit6zUA
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q6XJ4roiR
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34W76caaDL
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFeTNGr4wB
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ613IBCpKhp
their seats.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqsetddlqK
The two managers and Lee498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aBBDfhfDY
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAlIrEeuAF
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtKnA8kY6q
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6o80Lv06y
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJak1oE6Zwo
was.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpc3lcBxNs
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H75J6f8bY
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNRkxBZQEz
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB9xJADgDc
Zoey sighed loudly in 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ONHLQmhK
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyByuaUrnC
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S4n78HtNK
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13J7FYt30u
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xUnnyQ29m
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RVygho3nC
The two managers 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DILqXqXvP
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdlhxFui8k
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW6gRxkGVy
That was so not cool.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q7TQ90cHR
"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."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6VO4dfx4Q
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIv2YHXP2a
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQSHTaUCuQ
My ears perked up when 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdYzDvSfy3
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmZutgpU03
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZTWyEHJI7
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwjrtAhA5U
"We heard you outside 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fZzoIEtSk
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpJZi0leEk
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jn3NYVVZN
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BHqzmEiyW
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI2EQMcKOp
"Yes, Sam. For real," 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEL38mo9z3
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsSHf3Jihk
through further scrutiny about this decision."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW2kNGhHXG
I smiled. Even if they 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFvs7CIXy4
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUoNmHiMun
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3cjgt0d07
There was an exciting 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrGNcqPyAb
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUUvxehEue
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sgt2OuqKu
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oUCGCi2jr
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Grd4Jqz6
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYHWrcrnoM
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNbHgyw5uX
I turned to my other 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEtHMitKNh
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4lSaWy3H8
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBceQaEynN
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EaTI2BBh3
now, didn't matter.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNsiTn05nS
"You heard them when 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0A6iDuMm0
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmw1OhUfM6
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHxT658ba8
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPDHfm7oNt
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1MEJW61cd
"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.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZabVebaQcV
This time it was me, or I498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqtTyO1jXd
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYplB1d22J
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr57Ob8C77
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT1CZatIza
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIkxzXtBUz
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZoDdSpyT3
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNB1kc437V
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2qcTBSNCb
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenooU3FNtn
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3ce4eLpaL
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXqWJ4jaYP
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThw1ZXawUu
"We all agree," said Daniel.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DoeLt3H79
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1ayzQslKK
"But just because it 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsekC1U9Cp2
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EWafskDXO
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWPa8rOmDE
"Okay, so that's settled498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA85cy2r6i
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc2YQB2W6v
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKKQD5QQER
BTW official."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK1dlct0La
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsRpYrehgG
I noticed that most of 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVlO0Vj1U8
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8U7ScJ9gX
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YwZtghsVA
when she looked at me and I grinned.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv8i1URYQK
"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."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcBwaC5abk
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ez060baCL
"Before we make BTW 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuBH4nnh7t
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvzEuWOagK
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLuOrtRv9s
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfLRd73Lha
low for a while. Is that good?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7jwTeoCzY
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tcXZgqCBa
"That's fair enough," 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt0y48pLsy
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP0RgoCD21
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ2kWeWtym
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9u6rOQVIV
so."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHqzwfAf7V
"So you want to crush 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH27vjlMjx
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFtGNnIkWl
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAdxOCNCTP
strategy."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZRbJuqinF
"Then if all is well and498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUbOaenofK
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3fasxkIw9
updated and not a word on social media."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7x7c3n9Rj
I stood up from my seat 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFt7CkiZti
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDiZHwJNsj
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARkFep1kOL
walk out, I stopped them.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Es0ZUM5l
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBLoA3UPio
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPknXiilDVn
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZsswyhKvf
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P2zmT8A2X
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3FxrVTyZO
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ6Z95nOK0
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpY1ekFZdx
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvwof8iGuW
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl4pKOtttJ
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ7fwcfl3r
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX3B9T5Hd2
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDMbEO2pjR
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7GAeM6JGr
"This is like the best 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUVbkQIriC
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqgRnO2Hw1
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JGIjNvw2u
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u1oEt9GDZ
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOBmPu8nX5
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U8cjeCeb3
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vKpK484gP
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ISO7sAuI
"I knew there was a 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwKCzuUamF
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2OqN6q32W
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9AeziWViJ
G-Dragon.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFkn1624Wj
"You knew?" Christine asked.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3prVaRHsc
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4j7QxoRIm
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ckE47iVHt
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCfn1Mp7W4
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt4zQL7K2J
"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.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBL2U2dmLz
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjgiZjWrvr
"Well, you guys can tell498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UeJ2XBQDf
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjcwaxF7p9
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHEQIeUeMg
aren't going to go into the same car."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFfdvSQoe1
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGbFEZIsc6
Everyone else started to498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vdlUuNLkm
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjO6VGJEi9
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ipau4Sgbt
only G-Dragon and I.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr77dKs3FSB
"I'm mad at you," I started.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxqQ79e3Tz
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZRNJEj40T
"Save it." I held my 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWyJUa0niJ
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnrU2GupGx
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QOlMlGtk0
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4FeoUbboR
a war again."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00NVfAnn1q
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj2zGUBFl6
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrWRYsOIdE
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BdqEZm9sl
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu27fb0C4vb
G-Dragon looked at me 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HRzaSouMs
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJvcxTHP3s
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO2GNXBxWM
stab in the heart.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzz03cz8iI
"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."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j2k9GAhgr
"You know, the others 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahNXOYjChh
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIfTSESCpm
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0Op0km4vU
with WINNER yesterday."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0gMpeU9PV
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLnGouO90C
I nodded my head. What I498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDtnUyDM2y
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PzFLyI752
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsbwiviZ5Q
of Seunghoon and I.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKHMmATDBG
"You know you and I can 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2lOpC179y
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINp8O5uvtN
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbx8EwS4Qn
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt3FPZmzjs
down the rocks."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTPsc21QyR
I headed for the door 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUBTJuP72J
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlneVIc9o04
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwWfd1lkY8
Zoey, waiting.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZg3WX1i7a
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9dl22ilmA
"I sure hope so," I said498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8qoRTTDEQ
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJLMtawn10
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSKtZfJaZs
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQMh9jYQ12
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PGHbj4KPM
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNjpVJPpNy
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVkNmrBLuj
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd7yCqRZBZ
"You know computers are 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt755lGX74
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSCQgUsj8Y
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0UO62MYnz
supposed to."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIqK9tf8HM
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYM2u2YfWv
I smiled. "You always call me that."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9qjgl37XS
"Ya, because you're smart too."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTZ6gc2CMl
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SMk6yeH04
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBULQ8zGxJJ
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBGyCe0DTb
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09RJ8HQK3a
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVzhBuzH58
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
