Hanging out at Times 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZS9wpaaar
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3GKaXKMWd
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtudPrQpf0
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuxg3loqXg
But that didn't matter. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlHivGDOIf
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIRxW5a5w3
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNw8vAy9M0
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMGmz67GjR
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXhZL8ebMt
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk03ohieXp
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl9M7RbhT9
actually played around with the adorable kids.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDohsqAvq4V
There were plenty of 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakjQg1hhHO
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLwvRWPRqy
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA5kfFaRNQ
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K0rlAQeEa
fans too.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gq3JHs9Ol
The time we were done 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lMeaBNbcm
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8AWenD7Ar
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNcL0yGzLZ
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7mNqP1OiI
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WZcqMv6Bv
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOzsUGAveL
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LJ3dZAzwP
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIDqLdctr3
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIPwCkANYR
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8T4o0SGzB
previous day, of course.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8XKfLKEPo
As much as the managers 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqGwe9loOC
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgukuxwnJcu
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUngLVt5Uvj
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT6HUNzteL
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhH0DiSKPZ
Right now, this very 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4L7nSUsBY
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjtQUsRBx9
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aG0jzzicB
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdJqstnxi8
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag4DnL8MrC
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC5ZaOW5zI
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUXdV3KT2E
and I just couldn't take it.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl2kxeH2Qy
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVMb826baO
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdyJril6NL
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00WPedDQpf
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Fo8vLpvM
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XpXEBbpml
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik9oOfqy67
"I thought you said your plan would work."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5d9BfUxu9
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoECM2QV1yQ
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYqMF4yg2Y
I felt like slapping my 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cZgdmTxYK
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWlnIf9sjf
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBEIh4sVBk
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa7RK62tnz
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8H0ZK8vEI
off.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPdT4BRqP8
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb2tgVod9l
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPziJGHtqP
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD44170MLM
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqqQkyJ11t
I shrugged. She read my 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUfPSs1ZuA
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr9lp0LfCB
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosDOvpeRGS
me the whole time."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOGJYQa41y
I sat down on my bed as 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSiJPTYqdg
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSUMql6rNE
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3fFKfgzgA
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBlhAKokoA
"Gosh, you really should1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bQzQySA4C
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcWJggL4hA
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpu6ahSYr9
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfcgX0gzLA
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrzpfJISIp
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9cvr35s5n
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEoDUJzVti
"Mike is annoying 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtpKtbxIWW
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MexeZLbTV
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjJpVALd8B
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIea8f1LqG
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nr7jINrmM
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rVX4IYTNq
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyd2cqgx2N
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0LubRnYMq
"Sorry, but just so you 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyNWZj2rIe
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JYdVnYtTP
that pic of you and him together."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvt89dr80D
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntdvF0ps3l
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTKNUISzv4
I blushed and at the 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIMpXEdNTr
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbzQCkEdEn
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pexMYKtXO
other hidden agenda.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcqijiRW0d
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlq0criNss
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hD0BOczIZ
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOLHhC261U
I sighed in surrender. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXSpOGkLAL
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloecubAM6l
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNpnro9MUH
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6CzWmY6Dv
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."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6f4h9oCbk
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUkQZbaf9G
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbgPqQIpl0
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVMylMlaRN
Zoey had an excited look1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc8yCKXLAx
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mnCl4ZglW
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ0e27VlIt
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn3D9aYhsa
clearly show all over her face.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDMYDkwchT
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF6rK7fXb8
I shook my head. "And?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuxgqwfenS
Zoey folded her arms, 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZXQad5IKr
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWD8BKg7oW
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa1jmNVKR7
"Hold that thought. This1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AV5u3XUUd
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNriF6Wh2FT
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjSQWtaIji
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNJ3ujsxb9
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdKA3p0Obv
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYflR3cDj5
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGXx0v5EVF
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxG4yJgY7a
"Well, he hid in our closet."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbN7smpzYa
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv633QgERK
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBypX5KLyV
"Ya, why?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqqxVOy2Ni
"Looks like we just 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaozPhxz9n
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaQ8b8tZ7n
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2edvVtXfj0
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."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVP18t2d9n
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUSMj4fZZT
"What do you mean? You 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzunB3kORhg
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh99za9gJvB
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThoszbXxMJ
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSm1cgiLpx
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GCmq1cI5n
"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."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCyY7fzrTk
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOon57BD8vw
"I wanted to but I kept 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7thRK2gex
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsmZHd5EHl
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcMzQgD1W6
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKivllRJBh
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPXs4HFxCf
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbW6vhyAgi
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIreuzcWwc
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQJh0hpxf
I quickly stood up and 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKo6ECVfqy
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXyMcc2MXf
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5j2IEwWq7
her back.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiqAxTW4fb
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r6H6KCB7o
"Zoey, you're going to 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr924PIVVEC
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zV1J6K3vZ
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQxoloXz1h
own hair pink in the next ten years."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMlqamiu9P
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8HteYgK2C
"You're lying."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5hDchnq1V
"I'm telling the truth!"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZRyYHFkh5
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbByg9CHnP
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFbcvohRYW
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1jx0G9mvx
"I can't tell you that."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt9TmCaU8W
"Why?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9QpIkcAFC
"Because it's 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN8DjxtohY
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dWKZeol9N
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdDcaM4r7x
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWa7mtIqit
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPXdKRrtlX
"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."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtBrSpUaR4
"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.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC9P6O71Mh
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDEhWrV1nn
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIi7h65MoJ
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x8BPED3oD
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0KWHgJoSE
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm9ifIeBB6
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS974zDIhT
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKu5HMmASR
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO44Ntw0tKN
I playfully rolled my 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF2GNuxftr
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKcRJOM4FB
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ics3cC9uN
also looked worried.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy6VXNfLe3
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHylx6wL5r8
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPXzD6FtgL
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ylwqa0KPd
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ROEgoFtZT
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfiTKmdmsO
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoqbhWeU1P
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHycwCSCLq
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZcIVWsXsQ
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i7Pdm6Jwa
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MWI1mHsJd
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4xtpxGBW6
"Okay, first of all," 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqz7VDZXie
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMrzwfWXGq
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCz27Rxq4S
he wasn't mad at you."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOyDGE0F7y
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgS5pAM8td
"That, he couldn't say."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExuqLyz9Fd
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUhBNdpiKA
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqbAFVOWx4
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwlqQEe2Gu
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VNmLp1g22
Christine pressed the 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzY6VBU7fs
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ4Mpvtpv0
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqsYymBlye
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFDFI3bXBR
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIgLwzycVz
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMi8hf2RjH
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwMEaVQlsS
We got to YG right on 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HLqL3K0AN
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ygjrLMV1
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVscTS20LoW
arrived a few seconds earlier.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExZtwEZQZs
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNESn2kmNG0
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99dON1wwAE
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGViYC3sfL
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWz4OeWZ1Y
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEQPsc0d8Y
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwEl7Jd0BT
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNzHGHXOaV
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRdgzP202H
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqoCbiz9g0
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrYoGOzeEk
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFloE8gRpI
"There will be no such 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrzQ2Bn2VJ
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsUfmZ8HT4
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVFgPBOslX
"And you're making it 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbiD3RcK7b
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNecW9iB7uV
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUH83V8KfH
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRalYoH6wP
"Trust me, you don't 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIqIdiFrhF
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXYL9avkFq
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT4sbJjNYp
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tKS8lQS8G
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu49H0qXUjA
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEXFFatt5N
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wqu5aLQPk
"Look, whether they are 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31YptDtXNO
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjT6gaLlee
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePVubDa7q0
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmoBqrlubh
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlDSvuSnug
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb9mWTiRIo
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHaXykBONo
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfpZkn2e3J
I gave Lee a sad smile 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p2evcF0Si
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUMdxN3fSZ
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YtyNnNWif
your life. Like suicide.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvapHnCpHq
We started our way 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7V8YVQPFQ
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny9WQ5iVke
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgLCsckSKI
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxZOxw56qF
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXEXSeyt6J
I quickly ran out of the1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRQp9la6vI
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzHeRD8DOM
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZvXwdF4wP
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKXM1rAEsY
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnSjaqYUEp
check for it inside.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriFoFmEE9e
When I got to the 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtYmI8iNMy
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdNXP45YzM
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eDUtsZpul
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH9xM0uQj2
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUu29eTfur
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2lzg73Vm6
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9lfOEhTYe
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT01Q7HXyAT
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeXoXj5TuH
"Seriously, I can sue 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqEkB1U56h
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2DiV3ukiZ
fast. I never even heard him coming.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlMKxUFE2P
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXk2bDgzfC
"You're not my bodyguard1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIfRhkwOwN
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnktjo8jbNu
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx4P682N3r
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoHAwWqSpO
I blushed. "You know about that?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXog5gzsgdU
"Everyone knows you have1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw239mGFeAC
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG20fd92KOs
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxcuhTOmez
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTHwfI2XrG
"Looks like I did the 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwpwOFU8Mo
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxQdedsoA8
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZjwb2r1EX
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbGCvRRkuB
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojEscE4hBN
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nYPbTSyXM
"And because you're a 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlyQolgt3s
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFg4FIM7Aa
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpSLqpfacT
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Jn2nDroz
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7Cvot04XQ
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFz8cm4DMY
"Can you at least tell 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMdONhvozU
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxH1lmeplE
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJFqueJRZm
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqz4eBp6tg
"What dramatic effect?" 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRuMKZDcW9
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtckeNufKj5
came closer. I took a warning step back.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnX9rHudmF
"If you hadn't followed 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58nFJviySv
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFKV0UFtjI
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc3iXOTcln
room."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCXdq4c6yV
"What surprise?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDUg9hZTe6
The elevator stopped and1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1P6dIWooL
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvLpkIDIJi
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD9laUPQau
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXJGpigipp
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN1aJPWQbg
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTnWpl8d7k
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGzHBucd9u
"I already have a guess," I said.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUz9VpgryF
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4K8r6sgoS
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN86tXafGbZ
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8RugDWgQn
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcu3IvpGTg
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAS2VjpEwU
When we reached the 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgfDp6K07H
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6i2QROqn7
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILoneXThvF
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS2VlpJ9QX
In the conference room 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z60oRFcfw
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoguTfjbJK0
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR0aDB889o
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXvoBp4061
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ms2c5hH3
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCuj8q1eCM
though I did my best not to show it.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1CeApoHmN
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkpU63LgUF
I looked to the opposite1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE8WSDfc4J
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3l6H85ZR2
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5dXwwTh9J
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5llXHvUDz
"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."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4DpUsUGHF
G-Dragon quickly turned 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcDXFTf5HI
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk8FcIpaVm
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJywHFdGK5b
"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?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5zXhAM1so
"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.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpqDUn7PR3
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhLf4dzVbq
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAbJIoOmFf
"Wait," said Lisa who 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0HWHflDcV
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhNmPZCCZh
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbxPbWPXrE
"It felt simple and 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7IKsPNWat
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2kl9umppP
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtbbiwqcBH
with G-Dragon today."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw7xWjDoCt
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Au5tNJwW
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyajqjVmpM
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPNngn6D2i
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWeKDrLcVj
"Ya, I know I'm a 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmaXyyoWeG
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUQCyVydPl
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5ihK8YcEo
"If you mean us getting 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AAalo5pU8
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0UruvVWeW
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92bwnk7zXz
by coincidence."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzXwPHPbSb
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxpicbjPlC
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAZdMDYTX5
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE5Ax5ksAM
The rest of the BTW crew1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg5pzOpeAj
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UlGypeNNv
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlOLmWoBji
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSmjHMDEAx
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOswAbQG2vG
"Hold up," said Zoey who1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr95ko7c39n
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYJGbi6hnp
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMhRVFBAaF
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1mhicQPb6
"Told you we'll 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPkO2EAXTn
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a7msRkTHW
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz7qmTLQKJ
"But is he going to do 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmITF4nKQK
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzhcjJ71lI
didn't really meet by coincidence."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lciv50JXZ
There was silence in the1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rJ1xk2Kbs
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCm8IS6blT
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWQDOg3gUg
planning to do.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtbP6LPWMr
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o4NQs4Twq
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRQziVbhMj
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy1LqqVB2t
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3PXLdfrvZ
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLsxqQcwQS
"And also because he's 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIXnnPOmxR
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PRDtJ4N2L
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdNq4DrEPo
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25xTrHtTKz
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5RcjJAGMm
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid1KkgG8k9
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnm0TmA4OM
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0PZLFrbXZ
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOdvpEVc3X
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0V7smef5h
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfcCfOMBMb
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4tRNiFe2O
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK71etSIPA
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTuaj4zUpa
deal with G-Dragon instead.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV7wP9e6Hw
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZHUfuHkh4
"What do you want?" I asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2j4JlhY5I
G-Dragon looked at me as1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj91KKvW14k
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueMzwI4Tz4
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw0mz5xZTE
came to any conclusions.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeRmB2NsrH
"To make things clear 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8923RsmBIv
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkXfxu1msx
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafDxtcQhNg
thinking about doing the same thing."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgRFfUHfq7
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzt6jaxOP2
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX4NmRQtVt
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GwXKffZM6
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYAO6bcT32
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTrt8pbNOm
"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."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qHi5vLqBK
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSyYBAkRXj
"All's fair in love and 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ls4ZflFAd
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q4goSSxL2
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQFvlfZniE
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeXYGhwII9
"Come on," Christine 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZw1CcwAES
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Y4FJeIc7
won't be here for long and you know it."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqBcU7Q5J4
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Mnjykylw
"BTW is nothing but a 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPE71b8qav
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7Ahhr3Klx
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNHCFMv06I
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IS9Zvido6
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa7YvmS5xt
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GhHo8pA2U
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKNWFh27Tf
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKOi0ORuVC
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO5vk2f3WP
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GrFVt9HEb
"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.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQupbiCxps
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6qM2xbDWf
Upon saying that, the 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeycqE7ux9z
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FQX371a8s
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUKSBxQMaK
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdHWm8qnoG
seated stood up.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHZHiHWCKc
I gulped. I hope the 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xsb0yIdNg
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsqL37HwOb
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM5d7yo8VR
The two managers had 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoURoAjGIvp
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPNhp2UMhu
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZqc7pJoR9
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc4U8ormMc
is wrong.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wUWRO3Z79
"Good that you're all 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfoffSZFhn
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSLSccmqqG
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYH4ErqPiq
I have always hated it 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRUoXDinmD
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuuCxitWOw
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkReOnzeLd
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FOtWcn8z9
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoiVPqwCp7
their seats.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlOPGxQXeO
The two managers and Lee1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDQsbFBke8
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2caF8uDebq
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXLkBrkwjn
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxOL3XMR3R
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEpQEewMcx
was.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YEll2FA67
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmlHrA2Dcb
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4AEnBKhHJ
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8BwcXoW6A
Zoey sighed loudly in 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5kym4aSKb
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTeUFHerMp
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPTOIQGQkf
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk5NSB3jOo
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ689TDMTSAs
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRExETvb6bQ
The two managers 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeL6pUldL3
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ24RRGMQlG
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpv7xWgiYy
That was so not cool.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXVJJZXCl1
"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."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjYlyBQ7My
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkC4X2D8ot
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqstUBf2lKk
My ears perked up when 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJaKBOERzd
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4O9huB3JJ
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzND8ATOad
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHV5m93zLy
"We heard you outside 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4HPJOmttG
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzqOSVeYNg
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyuQHIxaLt
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNElDFpfDVD
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLCVO4k66x
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsXQimDDgF
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX0vuIVjdZ
through further scrutiny about this decision."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETfDmwpPZ8
I smiled. Even if they 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtISibxigzz
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMphvTPipf
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsUBxjUo2I
There was an exciting 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqng9qdnmm
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKYxNZ8Yu9
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBe8gJmD0x
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2jBmSzQ5F
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZln8KDK3t
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4iZHcrtO3
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdpQvcycQk
I turned to my other 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8loiO94Tn
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwNyIqhlvw
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkGehpPWm5
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv5vY77TOz
now, didn't matter.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvleSrWWfQT
"You heard them when 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBFcrN8Dtv
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDgOnxB18Q
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5H7vRanzJ
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK64QWSg59
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRLF1LhxeD
"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.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPa77Xl6h8
This time it was me, or I1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eyN61rYH3
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnaSDmU7zA
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mbMuJ6vtI
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z2GSe1Lrw
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkY9cBkr9Q
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP8KcNi5Kj
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEWPjudEYO
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qwxfWcUqf
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsTotyY3FT
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGcbjTbTsh
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiel0HNqn6
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH4HfoIGKd
"We all agree," said Daniel.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZHvHL01Iq
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8t7jHnCbY
"But just because it 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmz9loCPdS
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMMWd8saHp
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rEIfNEnf5
"Okay, so that's settled1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8X7iivM2X
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkSyjD7peu
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUFeGnTP88
BTW official."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZGB9K0M0S
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMxabnRoSj
I noticed that most of 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxm9gdhl9m
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILhCUN3qAF
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu4La2qpEa
when she looked at me and I grinned.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs2fVgdnYS
"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."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX92kqO7gJ
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanX3NIUafP
"Before we make BTW 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDkcXqAWBF
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3giAmj8Ym
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF8VotW4Me
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PdOHrnFoh
low for a while. Is that good?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMaTyFLkih
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr7pAo8DDS
"That's fair enough," 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoJ52ppvER
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0B1tGE7bC
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QofQ29Hdv
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXUvqrqH1f
so."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5M3Xb7wOB
"So you want to crush 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV2PJX1IFT
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8GE00kzim
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CP35W8p6H
strategy."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxkzCb3CYO
"Then if all is well and1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx5dlQ2n2f
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k4qZywf2n
updated and not a word on social media."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pr4PBgfek
I stood up from my seat 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBWDXB179b
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4owQ3sleGi
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3fyJxHnKS
walk out, I stopped them.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EzwzeIgSN
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIengX3y4iM
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHIy0kjKYY
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdXPUw4Kdr
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJng2P2c8g1
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRq1StQLjC
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsoH2VwujT
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ajl53sAkl
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyybLMlCEO
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrDohNG0GD
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvO3BLoaMU
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IUtyQh0Cy
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeluOSKcZxm
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY2qk0BMMM
"This is like the best 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPFEFNEeBR
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEN5tSVcFw
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj4GEdy3cr
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc2zsAlXHS
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbBg0qZ9kW
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWya1mFY99y
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzw7gWNhs7
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQcgRJWbV1
"I knew there was a 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBpZGmu81k
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ4JHxxkLb
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuPSsXaHSf
G-Dragon.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiOpY6CQLj
"You knew?" Christine asked.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm2EcRBrMo
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTRQiO8NTb
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9RyrNBDRH
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ129HrPWRgV
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiefTGQsLR
"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.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Esg3vN30B
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWUtb92sYP
"Well, you guys can tell1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcykquPY4I
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSUCYeUAkL
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q1hiEpfQF
aren't going to go into the same car."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17TzthtbGE
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfgWyw1xP1
Everyone else started to1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJZJTtmr46
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn8ob0brwU
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAYnK017PY
only G-Dragon and I.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGSNMhzRzH
"I'm mad at you," I started.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i4I7Nvpjc
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ183m50E5X3
"Save it." I held my 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxuUBDozit
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOESolWCDZ
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY0oHjhJuD
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQuQbCEowE
a war again."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡougKYCUZ6h
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xfLZVdMKf
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf2lZ0jgj7
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O772fyvzk
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lx4VNx5bR
G-Dragon looked at me 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiQZcEq1CI
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JOCYmAtKU
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXMoALihzk
stab in the heart.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR8sjLWj0B
"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."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhaFdX1GpX
"You know, the others 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Gr7vWdDq
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE4C69jgz0
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoIW1rY5cA
with WINNER yesterday."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhHUPhihiX
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YN0RE9d3R
I nodded my head. What I1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnktJfHhGV
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsug10YkTjy
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0RQm44G5c
of Seunghoon and I.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeTNCLGiqn
"You know you and I can 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd1nJFKUBO
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbcCBPBKgl
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6DIb1mkYV
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpi0qXF8at
down the rocks."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWKpmDClrR
I headed for the door 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO576OCIA0u
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWKLNE9GtD
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZmCvznoWc
Zoey, waiting.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg01kYu5PO
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQmQw3N3jB
"I sure hope so," I said1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99xGJGPcrG
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0O6VB5C7B
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXbDvYNiXp
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvbhENWBVB
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yYtBNN9ZJ
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAygE9Rp1Vg
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRq14wp4EW
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfGEvYRWjM
"You know computers are 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLQo792QXI
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6X28Af0n2
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCSUXK7aDg
supposed to."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DD0WC6H9m
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbzLH3Z2hQ
I smiled. "You always call me that."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wpWsrTk2e
"Ya, because you're smart too."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyccgvEDD6y
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqniN7J1YG
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofs94lpySt
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0uIofEHS4
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmHmAQ5oTc
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRn0OnqbJm
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
