Hanging out at Times 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKjTDOMdKd
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrMTOTWQKz
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrmwd607ox
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqetGq66gQj
But that didn't matter. 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzydkiZRMS
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMuEiZCRA9
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm3WeNPsul
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ucRYhwV21
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwhYwTHrf8
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnbIICUFKl
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9k8OcwXsE
actually played around with the adorable kids.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4zurOusQ5
There were plenty of 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGcdNBW64q
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhXlbWEbz7
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92dE8MPVTb
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyLxCK2kqY
fans too.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GWfYzLqO0
The time we were done 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7zrhAcQUb
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB5qX87N2T
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3i1Tu80EX
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteGwP8nARg
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqBdj1Fmcy
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqx8moOWT1
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEldjsUt2QV
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLVKwI4mH5
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1eU3paM6V
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3D3KGn4j6
previous day, of course.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj653kNsv9C
As much as the managers 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuU2o84o9d
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrcJuvOi9L
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67Tzk7kAtc
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUpyAci0W0
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWANIhaPcbG
Right now, this very 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaOzqORDNM
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsTn5L530K
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cVRztlKXT
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIcjtwNYc0
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbfpJlybkH
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELvYlRZJoZ
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbTyF2hnj6
and I just couldn't take it.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPr8KlJN6x
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk20tlfEfM0
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh7ySi82Xu
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27zqHddZXr
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL11t7PzDBX
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICornKGnxJ
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFdPek0v5J
"I thought you said your plan would work."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzhuS01WLY
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4qk9RgwyV
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowDZeHikQ5
I felt like slapping my 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wd0YSsZfs
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK7K5FawxC
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWgHuCa1wl
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmYEWuiC2Y
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6shndRiJ5
off.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHnOq8PxUR
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38jbbl6sNh
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGRWztM8wG
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o36JxeKCM
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXSneyauPA
I shrugged. She read my 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbOjdZQeHE
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovirtKWnT7
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUqa0CqikP
me the whole time."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfikLpyFp2
I sat down on my bed as 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hWoU6REGu
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFb4u3eLVV
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56KKhlP5z0
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67LkQNco8Z
"Gosh, you really should1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTJ0iNJVFG
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNhGJVtDDM
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJTQmCJES0
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUMQVJjA5f
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ1dPBBWAe
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvN5ZPxmV8
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE5WeiXNxW
"Mike is annoying 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzF3Tbcedu
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDuGmuJP0s
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2wfbqj1Ep
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniqHT716Nu
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtc17t2MHB
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivOGQ0swcC
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLWmkUKkKf
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscHmNXBSd2
"Sorry, but just so you 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFE2vldJzU
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZcdPOb1Ba
that pic of you and him together."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAskHlE57w
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk3Zqqfdtg
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYqo5CJwDz
I blushed and at the 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGCmWsIYwH
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkin74VHGXQ
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2EMLlkaON
other hidden agenda.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QUfAqWgu7
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p3orlrxTT
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfMEYeV7vQ
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Q67tuYRE
I sighed in surrender. 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DxdoCMYiW
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dfd0etzV5
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXFHKmMTEK
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea2ca7RQoY
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."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoClozKY0E
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQAYDUFcq2
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cqroVq664
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpswxUvhvZu
Zoey had an excited look1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapWl25TdsH
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4K6FREfIs
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UiiJg36JZ
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB3rggN4KH
clearly show all over her face.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe24Y5HHN7R
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XGSRimWxG
I shook my head. "And?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBhIN8HngV
Zoey folded her arms, 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG96emR0IFJ
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJxbH2dek1
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLj9Hj2zeQ
"Hold that thought. This1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pog3LoAbu
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OhTOXLE57
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaGfTxEwaK
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmXsod5qj0
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzpGxI8Y4H
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDshC165Jg
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rPyNcZ1Wn
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4LuUxrVv5
"Well, he hid in our closet."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVlgPGe4pc
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4otrFqFmBr
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcmiyn29J1
"Ya, why?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQRTuxMrDm
"Looks like we just 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJSYS8lfqN
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT5gHyM5UN
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27EHYKJFmF
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."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t97puEref
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6NnPOD8z4
"What do you mean? You 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENFh7rX0sN
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKc20Pcvrx
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09mLA9kLYo
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFV0kXtLkY
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd5D6pHHON
"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."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WgcMONF91
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwvzJzrJS4
"I wanted to but I kept 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXhmM7mGWG
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16H16z50n8
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmbNfa0ie9
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbd4uDy4zX
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUGxY1iJ3N
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KYcFC8lBs
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J2f1x6Rym
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN7zQOKxyX
I quickly stood up and 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK40iC2Ns1F
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgTWM6J9b9
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi8Ft0tJhU
her back.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRcx9oALlx
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYwmTghIf2
"Zoey, you're going to 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWbvt8ea6R
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTiKrGpqa8
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIXnOgP8uA
own hair pink in the next ten years."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHM2u5i0xx
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH5YIEsNRq
"You're lying."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyQ8FRTeAg
"I'm telling the truth!"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQTayZR1VU
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLXyyyeq7U
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8YS09FElt
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7fVYSyedI
"I can't tell you that."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuy3MCCqvj
"Why?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kpA03gPOM
"Because it's 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRM9JYl4gJ
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ud7LicDB
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuLUtBURYb
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Krdam8ahj
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYve2rThfL6
"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."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkTa5X8vgE
"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.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsmVbfkdRV
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9ems7r6Vj
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsnSTGa7hb
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYVwlyj81c
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvfOO8hIfw
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnrFv2FcqV
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPrjDbqNSQ
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMXEmGeVHt
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVbife1hqf
I playfully rolled my 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKX4fXTDOS
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfczsEyUTB
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmKY3y2QOm
also looked worried.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6zbK42vwW
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj26dKBCOq
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPA6qELzfq
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy8Lxrk3Yl
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMiJTGamwE
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYZVnbRF6t
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWjG4rAnQq
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qCKFVStx9
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbreg5WNQG
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0efVuXkXW
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtekUdXGRVr
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00qulgD8sT
"Okay, first of all," 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9GnrztpAR
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQufUZgFjvz
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg765QTAXa8
he wasn't mad at you."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaISk5Qq270
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWLA3bb1fa
"That, he couldn't say."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk09FXY0xcV
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrkIIvZfwc
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSzKM4KPLf
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL4EC9yur7
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGPKhb7eLX
Christine pressed the 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9NnjbgepX
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hYoiByNc8
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gFosQpX8x
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNCPUvAb57
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW2Wk7gl5G
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jEFNW9klc
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk1hc9nmuy
We got to YG right on 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYIp1t0GOO
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMceltfx6dF
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBNpilJaJU
arrived a few seconds earlier.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX295r74tLj
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CXR5OTm7U
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JI7TfUdID
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhIIREk5c6
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIfNCU1lpw
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZvsXZ0x8d
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCnMwlf40z
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopHTKDTCqZ
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zRtVl4wu2
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHa1unYh9u
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsw4saKYnD
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnoAOpP0w2
"There will be no such 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhKzG0EBni
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB5or9IrNP
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCpoQuDxY2
"And you're making it 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTKT5JMPIi
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOmxBaejt6
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUftIJgM4Fs
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJQJJWFoS6
"Trust me, you don't 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nfB5WbUuc
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1cId2LeE7
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotBt7AMVKM
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgAnHfKN4s
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf354EhXOyr
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotWOjqvwIt
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOS2S6JoDA
"Look, whether they are 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGdUscYImr
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRGdhMt1dr
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ037JMKoz7g
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl28Bf0J2M3
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xhGYR8n6k
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZKgYbmLAj
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYYtDxPUPS
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdrxwqQznO
I gave Lee a sad smile 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzl9qQlGqr
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKihtBsgdg8
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhGJ4MEC3S
your life. Like suicide.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPuFUAzmpK
We started our way 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML8Gocamqs
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15yFNEVEIH
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn4QTsBJwX
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKMGzO8xX1
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWyekTEWgX
I quickly ran out of the1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ez8BOfMC
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0NXEtC8kF
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgFXusnabv
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HbF7nzPTS
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEenvRSvtj
check for it inside.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpsNcDSQBN
When I got to the 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zQ30mpEML
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34hCZVsgpG
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouojKZCAmI
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCucnTKiUv5
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Wp129z38
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU1UefM2UV
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkz9Ur2vto
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WGQi35EUm
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNnL6g6G1y
"Seriously, I can sue 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf1XSM9fUa
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9laA1JfCj
fast. I never even heard him coming.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4WCilmojt
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmpbJuJbA3
"You're not my bodyguard1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxJBqUgpJu
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIuc5wZMJ2
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXBM1tgvJL
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5QPnSwgRw
I blushed. "You know about that?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHLq5FrtgT
"Everyone knows you have1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zROJb3og0
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcAm79mui1
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqkcfIWZlA
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAKzWQI5is
"Looks like I did the 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqpdUGTrtn
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6I1T8UgUT
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ms7IzqTMI
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqef8dixsO
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpsqytCfFJ
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc69rnAxFuh
"And because you're a 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQnJ5LckiL
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4SRVM5hxs
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcCWEUzrM7
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGqq4n8wuZ
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ155kVX3eNf
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoHoVlvrYG
"Can you at least tell 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4twS36cAi
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPtoJPCVg1
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7aEoAqqtb
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN1WqL6T2t
"What dramatic effect?" 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNgEi5yCRJ
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbmfhvUbJm
came closer. I took a warning step back.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hic5xzwXX
"If you hadn't followed 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNgjhU0ow3
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIKIEo7zyk
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuuGG7knqK
room."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP96JrjykQ
"What surprise?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbSncKqo1I
The elevator stopped and1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlHuzBEpwe
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IGWLzdBCq
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeivyH8qBrM
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUmDVOWaWC
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1055lrwRPb
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtvvPvoEdu
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk9bLLKfkQ
"I already have a guess," I said.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIrDi3Zi68
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7XKBeT7SQ
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznQBVY6VM1
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sjwWr92mG
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tRd5XojCF
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopOdYSgxpc
When we reached the 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU8eTQT0bp
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdevkme18Pp
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKCgpU0X3i
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDxLMvQXul
In the conference room 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYYLImasCM
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcm0ZXG6t3
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRWJ8692MK
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3UBTSseWR
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTMSi3E03C
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcB3AiTnFf
though I did my best not to show it.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAuRCnf4OH
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucyzI5SD3S
I looked to the opposite1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfv3jUIMdA
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzlpbXJky9
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyZLo90ICz
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr2ej7M91O
"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."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSWGsDdQSk
G-Dragon quickly turned 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG7XQuPs3y
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHXnxkQEwX
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRYqsrYiHc
"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?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRYBXfqE7M
"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.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbaJIXqB4a
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtQSE5llif
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFp6WYMs82
"Wait," said Lisa who 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fyUmgp8DV
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeYqKSCYlm
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbX13FRCyt
"It felt simple and 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs6g8LWnDX
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJWYgYHaqI
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqttQbFYq9
with G-Dragon today."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrY2L9xiNW
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN5qzTYKOu
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nu756c75q
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0tB3XxMfX
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENdRtyc2MN
"Ya, I know I'm a 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s354l4uu8
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMf9QxY6Gs
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmirMhvX95
"If you mean us getting 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXCH9uSkOo
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCci0NjGID
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TtCYUXtzk
by coincidence."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJp845I4b4
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9R1d3LIM2
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7izXxEReVC
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZMwRKu0B3
The rest of the BTW crew1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qggz8gdU6
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LtMWreXCJ
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXQdspyMcm
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSzwQyyrkf
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsZEBX2XOZ
"Hold up," said Zoey who1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN4gJl6n5P
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEFTE1fnIK
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl07fqVsoG9
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9v6NqABtz
"Told you we'll 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDsTDmN3Rj
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkAGzDSUJ6
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77yYSefWTf
"But is he going to do 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN1mKTMwfX
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmNGvI2PA3
didn't really meet by coincidence."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxIDIMMbAz
There was silence in the1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h3aindE9J
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4sPmLEa5i
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpPtgevQQZ
planning to do.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz54SLnIH3y
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yelMN0LHP
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFxjOI6tpx
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06zteVAdEc
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMii7YLVkQA
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xFS5C47jG
"And also because he's 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHjd0efFix
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTazfvHarB
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLNcx6lYky
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XqibLxtYk
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCzpO5ak62
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWIdiT8aNm
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj5RwlhO6G
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoGqVQUEBE
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatLL0TuODB
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Hz9APjkJ
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYcaIoivuD
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GDtjctUzR
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHXEbZ0rBu
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcooNi8tcnP
deal with G-Dragon instead.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHu6TsiXzS
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdcRE7ngX1
"What do you want?" I asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiiNgWgApq
G-Dragon looked at me as1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b6UiUiwKE
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjAgbisT9m
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiRUlaESnL
came to any conclusions.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHB2zZ5SSC
"To make things clear 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOXKKU7gfR
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtnVFLOmRe
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxtucJgDns
thinking about doing the same thing."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlC3nQFqep
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvJdYziGaB
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xips9Nez5
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvXXx1ckRH
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfARGelG1VX
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PiCPtrAFu
"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."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiitJiW8KT
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z8NIw7ckm
"All's fair in love and 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbs3C7Nr8R
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXB6hIxb2T
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFvU6q0sr8
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26CRuDTj46
"Come on," Christine 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbURak9vbV
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKDcC6n5Mf
won't be here for long and you know it."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmpXxuta7Z
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5dBPpudeS
"BTW is nothing but a 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jpIFDO9Mi
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgofzFYI4S
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj7OeJzgjq
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ejbNOhWzC
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSyY393U5L
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7gaia82ZN
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpCMHSt8q9
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxuTgHeJvp
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi11kfIqhG1
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYlLEiGMe5
"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.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZEf4vrZiD
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKeF2nRZuO
Upon saying that, the 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDwcO9MP9U
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrrNlypukN
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8MWBV5C4U
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVaoBIvvDf
seated stood up.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBABccHGZW
I gulped. I hope the 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCgkMYge73
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mbqlsYBlr
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopaDOK2IuA
The two managers had 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaMDrFdZPy
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou8NYPQ6Fx
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvfEHl7Tao
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEu8yDySJt
is wrong.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSdUbOOU9M
"Good that you're all 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SqobtWkRl
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CBQ0nchHI
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K07s1zHUh
I have always hated it 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1IyIY94K3
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7VWc41YDt
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBRQgybcJe
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpAetEgnLj
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYb0S8wGDl
their seats.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5yCdVTCvo
The two managers and Lee1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFdyiF6plN
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3eu4gaszY
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF3Nt5L5Qm
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItkXmeqtjY
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V2h19WTdq
was.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4Qaw3Ps9Q
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEbkUBXWYr
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOPCqTdOQR
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4R84rgnUt
Zoey sighed loudly in 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfONqf6KAjr
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9PLyRKxO3
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwI09F9DCn
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJqGv2ijWz
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFQxms5M5C
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3UxMU38sI
The two managers 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM1yDTih7U
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS722ks3pH
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiqqLh1nok
That was so not cool.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJxc38bxBj
"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."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV4Pbw82BQ
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSxiR3MRXf
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KNuOewBeS
My ears perked up when 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4yMTjz5oJ
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkYxJbhtWC
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEohsj4W5y
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98y9x1PstV
"We heard you outside 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMYLNXSgL9
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMbgrbzKNk
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT0B3Sl7QZ
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH2mfSzvAZ
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MAvJ1QVKK
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjqOkmkhBA
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7n4Gr5pg6
through further scrutiny about this decision."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5oG1ev3N5
I smiled. Even if they 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEhEYnyRpp
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEplTSYAAv
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNILNNgEPZ2
There was an exciting 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbm42cc4wo
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkqClxYkUK
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr4unUJp8w
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcflxGtxJLK
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8yH7qTE41
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctvDM1QIDF
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkKL1m8H1Q
I turned to my other 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZLggdg3vX
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaSogqCD35
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteQSEtA8jV
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsVFX9KeAB
now, didn't matter.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafqbeytPsv
"You heard them when 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuf9sIHBaM
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3yYbVLik6
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHiBjbQvZP
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2KJxGEKFN
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsjRrOQlR8
"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.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gbcNBghAy
This time it was me, or I1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshN7Uz19kF
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpQurIRRHb
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8rkrLKpNg
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcLDjlL8L3
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT5p4aDZsL
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDe33gY2ZD
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPPM5vbdK6
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcTgsqSKtj
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaXTBqshVn
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWEN4tmVCe
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso4xsIkJXo
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5uUJYaP3t
"We all agree," said Daniel.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC3YYuuEHj
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybb6F9c3Qt
"But just because it 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyEYAp5JSd
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfnNC02HVt
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhX9beMttr
"Okay, so that's settled1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFavSexyyp4
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuvRW5eyID
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1JiqcrP0Y
BTW official."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXjzdMSjfp
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRVcnIHMU7
I noticed that most of 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL7YWMnKpw
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHDkqoRuku
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuTsP8Y3Gr
when she looked at me and I grinned.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr1hRbHaFA
"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."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbERcHuggX2
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ79sHxtHW
"Before we make BTW 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROuhqufvm3
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1sLQHuoN2
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTWothkhjN
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGpNzJrV8T
low for a while. Is that good?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNEoTzlZgl
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMTcWPk4qa
"That's fair enough," 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHFoQ6ccj2
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCW1koBUrx
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTrix7Cb84
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlJpbHgNx2
so."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwF8eSCs4A
"So you want to crush 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwF8Q2cW7F
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rgwK80iCT
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxgmcPeGyt
strategy."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ONdOyXBrC
"Then if all is well and1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1sjijIPtc
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV8Bx30lDr
updated and not a word on social media."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZZBv1Hwxb
I stood up from my seat 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wqGLaFReH
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ902PnZyoSQ
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBVN72qoRU
walk out, I stopped them.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66BHJaomdD
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQwGjQkHWa
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD2lFb0oGG
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0dIbNS3y1
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXdv53l12t
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK23CbD4wjC
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhG3TY27B8
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfck53CjYw
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyro6FGe68
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcQ8dg1FV7
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwdJto4PFd
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZiyHuXaNU
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZKMdlIZrW
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m02Vs2DzW
"This is like the best 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MoBvdaUUy
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3YDTRR6OS
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDAj9jT3bJ
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mtWiiDtGd
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Za0KruTne
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuRiMLqUxV
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKhqBkLizN
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiAT2aIFE5
"I knew there was a 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoqTIDnYhw
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVttD88UVb
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPd2aA8fyZ
G-Dragon.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ivIVMnrgf
"You knew?" Christine asked.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SYUykX3M2
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9X2Ta7k8O
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ4uDlpBNe
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvkVeH5G8H
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsQTbTGiLi
"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.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S66rDHmK8
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZqmuN25t6
"Well, you guys can tell1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1jfiV3KdY
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZL3Gjj3lE
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5qFY20PDX
aren't going to go into the same car."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yNH0NVH1a
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmE2SrDnN7
Everyone else started to1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0joycNXcx
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vBRsRiV1c
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjmaXQCBCa
only G-Dragon and I.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO4WyA9idT
"I'm mad at you," I started.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6pMeaN5PA
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVHy68gKCG
"Save it." I held my 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjG4Gss59D
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZGJ3thTKQ
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyzmA3wYc3
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnb3mF5C2Q
a war again."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqhPGnO1gE
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFxut6nkTY
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXKzVWpwqq
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB2Awooep3
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObC2K7tyCy
G-Dragon looked at me 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX3cmoS7Rm
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI970TitjX
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw9zCC4Tig
stab in the heart.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2ltUpGtxG
"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."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8ScydpQRX
"You know, the others 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxCLzq56XK
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYxyjfwSBh
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvMWWBEubD
with WINNER yesterday."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNHVpSvRV8
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaAY2IZSJQ
I nodded my head. What I1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUsEwsHSSz
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxl1NziCfw
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XmOl0JdEX
of Seunghoon and I.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBodQvOFXTW
"You know you and I can 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XvSmz8l0X
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwuEe1qJrb
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE9eKn7D8k
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD385YTIHn
down the rocks."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxGG2UMZWD
I headed for the door 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WNUyPQEVX
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfzWlyx72f
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSq0FZe9tM
Zoey, waiting.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLvjcpG3vg
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp96vPprDzJ
"I sure hope so," I said1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB2DeX8H0R
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlq67znwKf
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhgZ6vSXrr
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2OR3dJqhg
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7rhucdpsH
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQdQbJsepL
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKewZzVVFTV
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILpCdIYMqi
"You know computers are 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0O7WuTb7r
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXnASmldLM
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYJ5eNp8bK
supposed to."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2EqvhJy1B
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRyrm6wSau
I smiled. "You always call me that."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr4HlVkaly
"Ya, because you're smart too."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFZNMCq2eq
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspic6HYfgF
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHBqnT2AsD
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk9yc8NTSG
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMnnSQQseJ
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1029Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV7uEwCP56
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
