Lee's P.O.V701Please respect copyright.PENANAQyWmqp1hqM
I was so tired as I sat 701Please respect copyright.PENANAKlTxlxgnSs
on the chair which I had been sitting on for so long that my butt hurt 701Please respect copyright.PENANADooPtO6xQP
so bad and all I wanted to do was stand. I was just piling up the last 701Please respect copyright.PENANAJv4T8wcF6U
documents Collins and I had been passing through earlier on in the 701Please respect copyright.PENANAcFNgkPOGOC
morning in a file and I had never felt so relieved that I was done. I 701Please respect copyright.PENANAnmq3oblm7F
leaned back further on my chair and blew out a sigh. A sigh of relief.701Please respect copyright.PENANAvLUMWMOrYc
The past two days have 701Please respect copyright.PENANAKfQowdqENf
been pretty packed and I've been up and down all the time without a 701Please respect copyright.PENANApZHw58Gjg6
chance to relax. The only time I ever did was when it was time for bed. 701Please respect copyright.PENANAlfQ0D5wyI5
But even then, I still had to wake up early and get to work. Well, being701Please respect copyright.PENANAC9xhiUAU8S
Collins' assistant is what I signed up for. So I had no reason to 701Please respect copyright.PENANAEjzfKlUIyt
complain.701Please respect copyright.PENANAWlraKAQYv8
Why should I complain? 701Please respect copyright.PENANABrluCLeT5B
So far, being an assistant manager isn't as bad as I thought it was when701Please respect copyright.PENANA0OQojRW3B8
I signed up for the job two years ago. That was almost the same time 701Please respect copyright.PENANAaMNV19CAr6
The Toxins were discovered and signed their record deal.701Please respect copyright.PENANA1LtMnuTAy4
I really love my job. 701Please respect copyright.PENANANaSahPVvZG
It's pretty involving and requires me to be here and there all the time.701Please respect copyright.PENANAmEi6ugVQKW
When I not only got to work with Collins, but also with The Toxins, my 701Please respect copyright.PENANAn8UZ7WNrsn
job became a concrete part of my life that I never wanted to let go of.701Please respect copyright.PENANA0o6aROI8jw
Collins is strict and 701Please respect copyright.PENANAPkxmAAElDs
wants everything to go according to plan, but he isn't half as bad. I 701Please respect copyright.PENANA2VWr0kPhA2
got to see that when he first discovered The Toxins and those five 701Please respect copyright.PENANAFIsS7vl4e0
monkeys managed to break him down, bringing up a softer side of him only701Please respect copyright.PENANA6apUIQOcjV
a few people ever get to see. I know as manager, you always have to set701Please respect copyright.PENANAaMYHWPwY39
your limits and put up a straight face, but I can tell you, that 701Please respect copyright.PENANADxJi8Ptfvo
Collins is one heck of a friendly person and we became very good friends701Please respect copyright.PENANAdQqcq6oDq1
over the years.701Please respect copyright.PENANAcacrgvqBWP
And another reason I 701Please respect copyright.PENANA9aDcPH3R69
love my job is because of The Toxins. Those five came like an unexpected701Please respect copyright.PENANAFzpHHg6H4H
wrapped up bundle of joy in my life. With them, there is never a dull 701Please respect copyright.PENANAu5t93ALQQD
moment and they always make my work easier. Well, let me rephrase that: 701Please respect copyright.PENANAuiycmIs72W
most of the times harder. But that only makes everything about them so 701Please respect copyright.PENANAC8I0N6LSMs
memorable. I remember the first few months after they signed their 701Please respect copyright.PENANAYck4i0ZqXa
record deal and they were all put under pressure to do their best. That 701Please respect copyright.PENANAMO5s9yWc2y
period was nerve wrecking for them and even for me. But the one thing I 701Please respect copyright.PENANAjaG9Ngz6MW
loved about them was that they never gave up on who they were and that's701Please respect copyright.PENANAjfytxe5Ah4
how they have managed to make it this far.701Please respect copyright.PENANAsXDed7pDux
As I remained seated and701Please respect copyright.PENANAKUtXMR4XXe
thought of all those times with The Toxins, I finally realised how much701Please respect copyright.PENANAg2JD3EZcev
I missed them. I haven't been around them a lot these past days and I 701Please respect copyright.PENANA65pCq0lfBe
really wanted to know what's up. I felt a little left out and I didn't 701Please respect copyright.PENANACTTqnmaDVr
like that at all.701Please respect copyright.PENANAz99lASmhDU
Not that I'm acting like701Please respect copyright.PENANAPBcZg6g3Og
a mama bear or anything, I've always cared for The Toxins. We are all 701Please respect copyright.PENANAvmIleDR9AH
like one big family. And as a friend, they also tend to confide in me 701Please respect copyright.PENANAIjH64vHlk5
for anything. Mostly Sam because she's a leader and always has to look 701Please respect copyright.PENANAc3G5rOnujr
out for her team. Whenever she needs advice or help, I'm always there to701Please respect copyright.PENANA335ct9NE5M
help in any way I can.701Please respect copyright.PENANABEyMZnzJ7G
I looked at the time on 701Please respect copyright.PENANAG1GL25EQhG
my wrist watch and I realised it was fifteen minutes past twelve. I was 701Please respect copyright.PENANABNHYeUAGW3
supposed to check up on The Toxins and I completely forgot.701Please respect copyright.PENANATpGEwLLrSj
I quickly grabbed my 701Please respect copyright.PENANAHwKciVc1D4
phone on the dining table in front of me and I quickly dialled Sam's 701Please respect copyright.PENANABcVCWeEnoh
number. I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up the call.701Please respect copyright.PENANAKsrIl5tuH6
"Hi, Lee," said Sam when she finally answered.701Please respect copyright.PENANA1LHTMij4i9
"Sam, hey," I said. I was so exhausted, I rubbed my forehead. "Are you done with practise? It's lunchtime."701Please respect copyright.PENANAzdwjzJ0GLI
"Ya, we're done with practise."701Please respect copyright.PENANA2IJys37jJA
I waited for her to say something else and then realised a strange noise in the background.701Please respect copyright.PENANAQfaxIQdwAX
"Sam, where are you?" I asked. "You seem to be in some noisy place. Are you in the dance studio?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAZqrUKa8Idr
"No, we aren't in the dance studio."701Please respect copyright.PENANAMpQxiMbait
"Then where are you? In the live room recording something or what?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAnuqBNLokHJ
"Truth be told, we aren't at YG."701Please respect copyright.PENANAF2ALB0slU6
Whatever ounce of 701Please respect copyright.PENANAoods2xGT0o
exhaustion I had in my body disappeared as I sat upright. These guys 701Please respect copyright.PENANA409nvoRxF6
weren't at YG so they were probably hanging out somewhere. And obviously701Please respect copyright.PENANAZExTmFiJea
without Collins' permission. Oh, boy.701Please respect copyright.PENANAR15gNSswSQ
"Where are you? You know perfectly well that you can't leave without either Collins' or my permission," I said.701Please respect copyright.PENANAnS9HTzhhK4
"I know and we are so sorry," said Sam. "But we met TOP at YG and decided that we should just hang out."701Please respect copyright.PENANA4EULFdBnTR
I sighed as I leaned back on my chair again. "I guess if you're with TOP it's fine. But you should've informed me first."701Please respect copyright.PENANARNG3KPc0zU
"Is Collins with you?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAH6P9Uv6or1
"No, he left an hour ago to attend to something. Don't know what it was really. He'll tell me about it later."701Please respect copyright.PENANAjlfUf5u8LL
"Good. I've something else to tell you."701Please respect copyright.PENANArbFmPIoCxM
I sat upright on my chair in panic mode again. "What is it?"701Please respect copyright.PENANA8KXnxs6LFX
"Well, I don't know how I should tell you, so don't get mad."701Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0dYNrB90C
"Sam, tell me. You know I don't tell Collins if it's something serious."701Please respect copyright.PENANAOj48Ufzsmx
"Ya, well, this is pretty serious."701Please respect copyright.PENANAblPy3pPNY8
"Tell me then," I insisted.701Please respect copyright.PENANAbi7Od6qqVV
"Awwh, Lee, I don't know how to tell you! It's so complicated."701Please respect copyright.PENANAprhFMe0uz2
"Did you and TOP kiss?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAW8IOFrjy4G
"What! No! No way!"701Please respect copyright.PENANAUkg4MuGlgV
"Okay, eish." I almost pulled my phone away from my ear from her outburst. "I was just assuming that it happened."701Please respect copyright.PENANAbmNeBAmUGs
"What makes you think that?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAnVqLZNBqFn
"Well, it's obvious he flirts with you all the time and maybe he had the chance to finally kiss you."701Please respect copyright.PENANAwRntAXQRtX
"I'm not ready for that kind of drama like I had last time, Lee."701Please respect copyright.PENANAIIZSx2BTnf
"Then if that didn't happen, what's going on?"701Please respect copyright.PENANA4YUBEUUai1
Sam took a deep breath over the phone and hesitated for a few seconds.701Please respect copyright.PENANAZZP05KbQ2u
"Lee, a lot has happened that you don't know about and you're going to freak if I tell you."701Please respect copyright.PENANA5glViGLI15
"Try me, Sam. I've been 701Please respect copyright.PENANApaIDuRYVqC
around you guys like forever. There is always something funny that goes 701Please respect copyright.PENANAQzYcawFPE6
on that I won't be surprised this time around."701Please respect copyright.PENANAHP6pMSuFgm
"No, Lee, this time it's different."701Please respect copyright.PENANAUAzT2iKDbs
"What are you waiting for then? Spill the beans already! Now you're making me nervous."701Please respect copyright.PENANAJ80o5N01tZ
"Okay, okay. Yesterday something happened. Ummm, where can I even start? Okay, so, there was someone in the......."701Please respect copyright.PENANAPZGyksD2Gj
Before Sam could say 701Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ2KAnRDDt
anything more, she was interrupted by someone in the background. For a 701Please respect copyright.PENANAsy5EnGbtru
moment, I thought it could be TOP or any of her two brothers, but I 701Please respect copyright.PENANApga0aPI1ad
quickly realised that it wasn't.701Please respect copyright.PENANAuuG75IBgvE
"Sam, are you going to talk on the phone all day? We're waiting for you," came a man's voice in the background.701Please respect copyright.PENANAGWujEXAT9f
"Just hold on for a moment, Seunghoon. I'll be right there," said Sam.701Please respect copyright.PENANAvANqmQYPAU
"What the what! Sam! 701Please respect copyright.PENANASF9QI1RmKb
Whose that!" I asked. I had no idea how I had quickly stood up from my 701Please respect copyright.PENANAUx8DL2oT8c
seat that even the chair behind me fell to the floor.701Please respect copyright.PENANAm23Dsmc7f3
"Wait, hold on, give me a701Please respect copyright.PENANAjz9tbneC8G
few seconds," I heard Sam talk to whoever it was beside her. "Lee? I 701Please respect copyright.PENANAYY0yzvcUJC
know you're freaking out, but that's kind of the long story I wanted to 701Please respect copyright.PENANAGtWu3sjIff
tell you."701Please respect copyright.PENANAjynTrg580j
"Wait? Which Seunghoon were you talking to?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAzMMIH21Rhx
"Seunghoon from WINNER."701Please respect copyright.PENANAaEOPuH7TZS
I thought the world 701Please respect copyright.PENANAh6F81n40Ke
below my feet will open and swallow me whole any moment now. I also felt701Please respect copyright.PENANAjjcEpEuyPF
a wave of dizziness as I held my head and tried to stand steady.701Please respect copyright.PENANAnY7HCAE45F
"Sam, I'm going to faint701Please respect copyright.PENANA82t3i76PL1
right now and I'm alone in this hotel," I said. I took a deep breath. 701Please respect copyright.PENANAQMCT1Pggs5
"Are you for real? Seunghoon from WINNER, like YG's own WINNER?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAaBnMF3v9Sv
"Yes! And there's a lot more that's happened, it might be worse."701Please respect copyright.PENANAtGOkjab7Hg
"Oh no, Sam. Like what? Collins is going to freak."701Please respect copyright.PENANAeLsiYbGH43
"I know, but I've a plan."701Please respect copyright.PENANAe1O3wcwJpt
"Don't you always? How bad is the situation?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAfBHRPh4Ibe
"Very bad to the point where your mind could easily be blown away. And probably not in a good way."701Please respect copyright.PENANAicpKwcFvit
"Wait, Seunghoon isn't the only person with you, is he?"701Please respect copyright.PENANA9H3hJmbalU
"Yes, and it's much worse than that. If you want to know more, go online and see what's trending on Twitter."701Please respect copyright.PENANABXNMtsBAao
"Okay, but can't I just come to where you guys are now and pick you up? Before things get any worse, I mean."701Please respect copyright.PENANALDrtFh1gcj
"Or you can just join in701Please respect copyright.PENANAF2ua6yCgLS
the fun. Things are already worse as it is and we're all just going 701Please respect copyright.PENANAoD9cTPBn6y
with the flow. If I were you, I would be here at Times Square with us."701Please respect copyright.PENANAtubcC60IVs
"Okay, I'll be there. 701Please respect copyright.PENANAyo3wOoSlhz
But before then I'll have to see what kind of show you guys have put up 701Please respect copyright.PENANAcVbZkNoYya
on social media so that I know what's going on. Why of all places did 701Please respect copyright.PENANAatcttv2IB9
you choose Times Square to hang out anyway?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAdlDGrImdAw
"That's another long story. You see, we were on a bus..."701Please respect copyright.PENANAV6ZX1vBoi0
"You guys went on a bus?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I am really missing out on this."701Please respect copyright.PENANA1fQJ6RUbvo
"And there is more. So you better come here quick if you want me to tell you the whole story."701Please respect copyright.PENANAdzdjMopdYf
"Alright, I'm on my way."701Please respect copyright.PENANAIifK26gGOq
I quickly cut the call 701Please respect copyright.PENANAqdkdFqEgRo
and before I could arrange for the chauffeur to come pick me up, I went 701Please respect copyright.PENANAH8Ml60fURE
on Twitter just as Sam had suggested I should. When I saw what was on 701Please respect copyright.PENANAiFVDLWI1Bf
the trending list, I was a little confused.701Please respect copyright.PENANAnDrH7sRDkH
But once I realised what was trending on number three, almost made me faint for real.701Please respect copyright.PENANAsrxhTafKhF
***701Please respect copyright.PENANAPpwXVWCsAJ
Sam's P.O.V701Please respect copyright.PENANACswWMl60j8
I701Please respect copyright.PENANAChOVS75rOp
quickly put my phone in my pocket and when I turned around, I found 701Please respect copyright.PENANACedLhmSTAp
everyone the same way I left them, taking pictures, mostly selfies with 701Please respect copyright.PENANAtawZx39iPJ
the fans.701Please respect copyright.PENANAqwaRHqdl39
Since701Please respect copyright.PENANAINyB3kiXF5
we came to Times Square, all we did was take pictures. The picture 701Please respect copyright.PENANAFhyeLREi8P
frenzy all begun when we were spotted by fans as we walked in the 701Please respect copyright.PENANAMDMLTeLuGv
massive Times Square complex.701Please respect copyright.PENANAteJ8BOvf0H
So701Please respect copyright.PENANAGSKq883XjR
far so good, my plan seem to be going smoothly. I got the reaction I 701Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0MqYt9Lh0
needed from the fans and already, we were trending all over Twitter. A 701Please respect copyright.PENANAwEuN4fuWML
good thing on my part, but obviously a bad one when our managers find 701Please respect copyright.PENANAzds82J9Y3F
out. Hopefully they wouldn't get mad to the point where it might be 701Please respect copyright.PENANAZRn2dFrVPy
serious.701Please respect copyright.PENANALQbT8yPsiv
"It's701Please respect copyright.PENANAJgz9h86D5E
about time you were done with that call," said Seunghoon as he came 701Please respect copyright.PENANAJiHPenEOkI
flying, landed by my side with his phone held up and his arm around my 701Please respect copyright.PENANAnmmPMJ5rfJ
shoulder to take a selfie. "Smile."701Please respect copyright.PENANAIj7poRdEg8
I701Please respect copyright.PENANA2rPvjB98Jo
smiled at the camera, even when I didn't want to. Seunghoon has been 701Please respect copyright.PENANA0KC6zwKfVb
acting too clingy. And as much as that wasn't a bad thing, it was 701Please respect copyright.PENANAhBorcfG7b9
somewhat worrying.701Please respect copyright.PENANAscFq4TkpMJ
"So cute," he said as he looked at the photo. "You and I make a very cute couple."701Please respect copyright.PENANA1pMZy8CA9l
"No, we don't," I answered when I looked at the photo with my eyebrows raised.701Please respect copyright.PENANANplqcEE5zx
"I agree with Sam," said TOP, who came to stand beside me to look at the photo. "You don't."701Please respect copyright.PENANANHj2eRhW6T
"You're just saying that because you like her," said Seunghoon.701Please respect copyright.PENANA2SDaBPkeFH
"You're right. I do."701Please respect copyright.PENANA9TicAoSO2e
"Can you two fight later when I'm not here?" I asked as I waved my hand in the air.701Please respect copyright.PENANAYhv4e6IMrT
"Don't worry Seunghoon," said Zoey as she approached us. "You two look cute together, honestly."701Please respect copyright.PENANAbsvJkGGntG
"Thank you," said Seunghoon as he beamed at Zoey.701Please respect copyright.PENANA7fAwy3bjWz
TOP and I just murmured. I ended up rolling my eyes and frowning.701Please respect copyright.PENANALJ5qQK6Opw
"Now that we have made a statement to the whole world that we've already met, what next?" Zoey asked.701Please respect copyright.PENANAgA1NgPsN5c
"You're701Please respect copyright.PENANA4HLB0CLUqU
in Times Square," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Zoey. "One of 701Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2UuFx9Mzw
the biggest shopping complexes in Korea. There are a ton of stuff to do 701Please respect copyright.PENANAgFsEz602tI
around here."701Please respect copyright.PENANA4XtbPDmAUC
"Shopping would have been nice but we didn't carry our credit cards," said Christine as she came to join us.701Please respect copyright.PENANAAdjK5Nn4iF
"Who said we need to 701Please respect copyright.PENANAUQdI6nJFfO
shop to have fun?" Mino asked as he followed Christine behind her. 701Please respect copyright.PENANAiljx5xkFFw
"Times Square is an awesome place and you can do so many things."701Please respect copyright.PENANAxde8sQTGuw
"Fine, then what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "You guys know the place. So, I suggest you be our tour guides."701Please respect copyright.PENANAd3gGthOw0n
"It will be our honour," said Rosé as she came and gave a playful little bow.701Please respect copyright.PENANAj9SGiTQTSR
"I think I know where to start," said Jinwoo.701Please respect copyright.PENANA5ErV0tTUUu
"Where?" Zoey asked.701Please respect copyright.PENANAIGpMw3QlTk
"Has any of you seen the largest screen in the world?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAkS6eHhaQtj
My mind started to tingle in a funny way and I felt my face lit up when Jinwoo said that.701Please respect copyright.PENANArREufbbeFY
"Wait, a minute!" I 701Please respect copyright.PENANAXjWi9eNbvP
said. "This is the place which holds the largest screen in the world, 701Please respect copyright.PENANAPakYiYa7m2
right? CGV Starium, the world's largest permanent 35 mm cinema screen."701Please respect copyright.PENANAHbM36wqDS6
"That's correct," said Jinwoo.701Please respect copyright.PENANAq0wwbIgXcr
"Oh, no," said Zoey as she covered her ears. "Nerd alert!"701Please respect copyright.PENANAPfVqVlEFOh
"Did someone just say 701Please respect copyright.PENANAcdmHlkZU7t
'Nerd alert?'" Mike asked as he came to join us after taking pictures 701Please respect copyright.PENANAswynguWDK1
with some of the fans with Seungyoon. "What did Sam do now?"701Please respect copyright.PENANA9xoGTX0HoZ
"Huh?" I looked confused as I shrugged my shoulders and looked at everyone else staring at me.701Please respect copyright.PENANA70d0RSF0Pk
"You're doing that thing701Please respect copyright.PENANAfO6xHdF9oa
again where you start talking about all the knowledgeable facts you 701Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9EqcLcKAo
know in this world," said Zoey. "Like about the largest screen."701Please respect copyright.PENANAPGAczLeEIz
"Try to be more clear, Zoey. Because I still don't get it."701Please respect copyright.PENANA6oUKXIhGeE
"Well, there's a whole lot more where that came from. Remember in high school you were always up top with general knowledge."701Please respect copyright.PENANAj1ttS7MkWi
"Ya, true," said Mike.701Please respect copyright.PENANAGf3o62GmlE
"What's wrong with that?" Rosé asked. "Isn't that just how Sam is?"701Please respect copyright.PENANApQWyAyZfzy
"I'm not going to 701Please respect copyright.PENANAf0745xLZke
tolerate you guys bullying Sam," said Seunghoon as he came behind me and701Please respect copyright.PENANAXpipFqqzQB
held my shoulders. "She's smart, so deal with it."701Please respect copyright.PENANALav5xGmdg3
"No, I'm scared that 701Please respect copyright.PENANAgIP3qN9rwZ
Jinwoo might be joining her in the nerd train. Chooo-chooo!" said Zoey 701Please respect copyright.PENANAJCpsOSuD9r
with a smirk as she imitated the sound of a train.701Please respect copyright.PENANAYFPQLxhrtE
I looked at Zoey, then 701Please respect copyright.PENANAjtO0yJ6GvK
at Jinwoo who was staring back at me. He also looked as confused as I 701Please respect copyright.PENANAoRHp0JmH7a
was. And right now, I was so not liking this. Not when I knew that 701Please respect copyright.PENANA9m1yUKfvls
Christine liked Jinwoo. She might get the wrong idea and I was not ready701Please respect copyright.PENANAtypctoTsPo
for that bumpy ride again.701Please respect copyright.PENANAOznV9s8Vhq
"So, are we going to watch a movie then so that we can go see the big screen?" TOP asked, changing the topic immediately.701Please respect copyright.PENANArrHA3JCM8G
"Did someone say movie?" Daniel asked as he, Jisoo and Jennie finally joined us.701Please respect copyright.PENANATiRtIv6DnF
"That's if you want to see the largest screen in the world," said Seungyoon with a smile.701Please respect copyright.PENANAjzUCIRuhF4
Daniel's mouth gaped 701Please respect copyright.PENANAqPMOf1Y2UF
open, his eyes full of bewilderment as he looked at Seungyoon. "You're 701Please respect copyright.PENANAyFMJAv3fas
serious, right? The largest screen in the world? That's so cool!"701Please respect copyright.PENANALmnpSbIwB0
"Oh, ya," said Jennie. "That sounds like a great idea."701Please respect copyright.PENANAYx1QWUNQj2
"Well, I think we can 701Please respect copyright.PENANAWhmNATL98Q
plan on watching a movie later," said Zoey. "I just realised that I'm so701Please respect copyright.PENANA3KKRU0zU66
hungry and I don't think popcorn will do me any good."701Please respect copyright.PENANAdzOul1u7EO
"Same here," said Mino.701Please respect copyright.PENANA13sSFmereK
Zoey giggled. "At least I'm not the only one. Who's up for lunch?"701Please respect copyright.PENANATrcWlEIkIg
Everyone including me 701Please respect copyright.PENANAFMGeGnZIXK
raised their hands. I hadn't noticed that we all haven't eaten yet. And 701Please respect copyright.PENANA1poDnXZGy6
for some of us who just had dance practise and never ate any breakfast 701Please respect copyright.PENANAKAX2vak1yb
needed all the energy we could get if we wanted to last the whole day in701Please respect copyright.PENANAcSd0mYxYJn
Times Square.701Please respect copyright.PENANAyH9ANkWQIw
"There's an open food 701Please respect copyright.PENANAGncw9YXWmY
court down this way," said Seungyoon as he jerked his head to the side 701Please respect copyright.PENANALpLgYoOtz1
pointing to the other end of the wide open lobby.701Please respect copyright.PENANAYIoQ9qmG6W
"Gosh, I've now realised701Please respect copyright.PENANA5JB6fvUENW
that I hadn't eaten breakfast," said Daniel who walked beside me 701Please respect copyright.PENANA8fud5z5lE3
holding his tummy as we made our way towards the other end.701Please respect copyright.PENANAmD2lNBeTR2
"What took you so long to even realise it?" Jisoo asked as she ruffled his hair.701Please respect copyright.PENANAUZtXCNa9FB
"Sometimes the excitement gets to you that you don't feel a thing until later on."701Please respect copyright.PENANALuGhez7pV3
"No wonder you Toxins 701Please respect copyright.PENANAwGfV33akjZ
have a big appetite," said TOP who walked behind me. "You never eat 701Please respect copyright.PENANAwssq5y2oyv
breakfast before practise and that's why you eat so much."701Please respect copyright.PENANAgadGDbiuYg
"No, we don't!" Zoey argued behind me.701Please respect copyright.PENANAV6G2d0dv2v
"Have you seen yourself eat? I'm telling you, you guys have a massive appetite."701Please respect copyright.PENANAGL9ZrsRCIT
"But that's because we use up all our energy," said Christine. "When we practise all we take is water and nothing else."701Please respect copyright.PENANAcDZ9nbTB8r
"You should have been a fish then," said TOP as he chuckled.701Please respect copyright.PENANArid4rKm6fM
Zoey, Christine and the 701Please respect copyright.PENANAkHSgkmHQ2L
rest of BlackPink behind me gasped in the most dramatic way any girl 701Please respect copyright.PENANATwNPQfp93b
would ever do. The rest of us kept quiet to see where all this was 701Please respect copyright.PENANAan3fx3syAH
going.701Please respect copyright.PENANAHVHDNeY1wp
"That's insulting," said Jennie.701Please respect copyright.PENANAHbn8aPu9Gc
"I know I'm annoying sometimes but that doesn't mean you have to call me a fish, Choi," said Zoey.701Please respect copyright.PENANANv7Wao7uPX
"Okay, fine I take that back," said TOP. "You're a jellyfish."701Please respect copyright.PENANAFOrf4uDURD
I burst out laughing 701Please respect copyright.PENANAKbuENLnpPK
with the rest of the others. Our laughs were so loud that everyone in 701Please respect copyright.PENANADyzRPt3W6D
the wide lobby and maybe including those up the first floor of the 701Please respect copyright.PENANAAxGyiJ0GWJ
complex, looked at us. I hope our laughs didn't echo all the way up the 701Please respect copyright.PENANAxOesBkyHVc
other floors because that would surly be something.701Please respect copyright.PENANAZioS39r9Qo
"Good one, TOP," said 701Please respect copyright.PENANAYHNyRk1kKZ
Mike as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and laughed. "I wouldn't 701Please respect copyright.PENANAbSkz0cSKrm
have thought of that in a million years."701Please respect copyright.PENANA96Ch6PhiXt
Everyone continued to 701Please respect copyright.PENANAguo1opk3wO
laugh except from Zoey of course, who looked like like the odd one out 701Please respect copyright.PENANAoQKG3qMAEX
from the rest of us with her arms folded and giving us the look showing 701Please respect copyright.PENANA3Fog7a15Mq
how annoyed she was.701Please respect copyright.PENANABhVTwOqrNF
"I can't believe you 701Please respect copyright.PENANAkmippTaIIG
just said that to me, TOP," said Zoey as she looked at Choi. 701Please respect copyright.PENANAq7RvjHLR4P
Surprisingly her tone was calm. "You've really disappointed me."701Please respect copyright.PENANA4rpaUrPG7E
"Don't worry, Zoey," 701Please respect copyright.PENANA5txPFj8hQm
said TOP as he came and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, giving her a701Please respect copyright.PENANAI4bWnTxOX3
brief hug. "I was just messing with you."701Please respect copyright.PENANAWpobsrtrfE
"Careful," said Jinwoo. "You don't want her to sting you since she's a jellyfish."701Please respect copyright.PENANAB66peelG3R
"She always stings," said Daniel. "So, TOP, you better get prepared for the worst."701Please respect copyright.PENANAgpFqnwYO1z
"I'll sting him so bad, 701Please respect copyright.PENANA2QXA1Gy9np
he will regret it," said Zoey as she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at701Please respect copyright.PENANACjXwoYMogj
TOP next to her. TOP just continued to smile.701Please respect copyright.PENANAEcDQDHCZlV
"Oh, look, a stage," 701Please respect copyright.PENANAfq61jokoZv
said Daniel, pointing in front of him. That drew our attention away from701Please respect copyright.PENANA4JhIbzF4Qi
Zoey and to where Daniel was pointing at.701Please respect copyright.PENANA1kZ0NTuqOJ
In the direction Daniel 701Please respect copyright.PENANAdNU1ARWhJZ
pointed at stood a small round stage. Daniel was even bold enough to go 701Please respect copyright.PENANAS1wW208PJ1
there and get up on it. We all followed him.701Please respect copyright.PENANAsfpiwAVTTx
"I've missed being on 701Please respect copyright.PENANANZJaPRdYrt
stage," said Daniel as he walked around the stage with so much jolly 701Please respect copyright.PENANAPYjruXJnDl
that he even started to showcase his dance moves.701Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5gRmzrUU4
Jisoo also joined him up on the stage and started to dance alongside Daniel.701Please respect copyright.PENANAQH1thIqvql
"Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be there," said Seungyoon.701Please respect copyright.PENANAH9qYTogZNG
"We're just having fun,"701Please respect copyright.PENANAlgwXKHlJxx
said Daniel. He turned to look at Jisoo and offered up his hand to her.701Please respect copyright.PENANA5sGbvp1YLg
Jisoo gladly took it and Daniel spun her around, dragging her close to 701Please respect copyright.PENANAHOnN4XXod1
him and in the end held her waist and bended her backwards so that she 701Please respect copyright.PENANAhqnjHLCIDN
could be looking up at him and he down at her. It looked they had just 701Please respect copyright.PENANAF7QKzgLrmE
done a ballroom dance and had added the finishing move.701Please respect copyright.PENANA3w7dFEVXBr
The rest of us down the 701Please respect copyright.PENANAvuVfOOQH9B
stage cheered and clapped for them. I was pretty impressed with Daniel 701Please respect copyright.PENANAo1zukPbpfl
though. I never knew he even had interest in ballroom dancing. He was 701Please respect copyright.PENANAW4qOm8cWCE
one who never even had a date to his high school prom, so seeing this 701Please respect copyright.PENANA7OxsgRlh8n
side of him was a shocker.701Please respect copyright.PENANAPECi3ugbci
"Wow, Daniel," said Lisa. "I never knew you could dance like that."701Please respect copyright.PENANAN6vbdcNo9O
"Thanks," said Daniel after Jisoo had finally stood up straight.701Please respect copyright.PENANAy01hevBAZf
"Mum would be so proud,"701Please respect copyright.PENANAKPeN8DAkyR
said Mike with a mood of sentiment in his voice. "She would think 701Please respect copyright.PENANAvnbX1qu0WK
you've now grown up to be a gentleman."701Please respect copyright.PENANAGYAveIiLnc
"Haha, very funny," said701Please respect copyright.PENANAqsK0jiBVuV
Daniel as he folded his arms and looked at Mike. "You want me to dance 701Please respect copyright.PENANAWVfsvZb8SF
again so that you can capture it on video, don't you?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAZ99OutKFmQ
I looked at Mike and he 701Please respect copyright.PENANAJwGo8W0PUB
had a smirk on his face. He already had his phone in his hand and was 701Please respect copyright.PENANAoP6QrLlIAQ
twirling it around like it was something light. "You know me so well, 701Please respect copyright.PENANAxOAHbw8H0X
bro. Sometimes I feel we were meant to be twins."701Please respect copyright.PENANAz5l3zpbH3m
"Thank goodness, you aren't," said Zoey. "I can't handle two Mikes."701Please respect copyright.PENANAVtDAdHDp35
"I'm still not going to 701Please respect copyright.PENANA5trWy3AgoA
dance so that you can capture me on video," said Daniel. "Well, not 701Please respect copyright.PENANA3dw8AsUn01
alone with Jisoo. It would look weird on my part."701Please respect copyright.PENANAq4cqxWHjLX
"I'll join you then," said Mino as he walked up on stage and then turned around to look at Zoey offering his hand to led her up.701Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZRMDtItPQ
"Care to dance with me?" Mino asked.701Please respect copyright.PENANARKSEYW5VBm
Zoey folded her arms and looked away, rejecting the offer. She could be so skittish sometimes.701Please respect copyright.PENANAUT1JIcsTEO
"No," she said still not701Please respect copyright.PENANAoqplQaoJmt
looking at Mino. "I'm not going up there since someone called me a 701Please respect copyright.PENANA9WNlUZGSt3
jellyfish. So my dance moves will obviously be pathetic."701Please respect copyright.PENANAFVJEW2ot3a
Everyone turned to look 701Please respect copyright.PENANA4aGSv944pk
at Zoey and suddenly us Toxins all mourned in annoyance at the same 701Please respect copyright.PENANAV0TzGpZx1z
time. Mike and Daniel both hit their heads at the same time while 701Please respect copyright.PENANAkdoBgh0a2p
Christine and I rolled our eyes which still landed back on Zoey. This 701Please respect copyright.PENANA1gxTescU8n
was the melodramatic Zoey, alright. And the only way to soothe her anger701Please respect copyright.PENANAVj6djFetn3
was to sweet talk her somehow.701Please respect copyright.PENANAMLsy7DP3fe
"You're still hovering over that joke?" Mike asked. "FYI, it ended a good five minutes ago."701Please respect copyright.PENANAkbQ7zJJ05X
"I never knew Zoey could be this difficult," whispered Jennie behind me in my ear.701Please respect copyright.PENANAoXL4ZFaEZq
"Trust me, this is just the scope," I whispered back.701Please respect copyright.PENANAC2gcP79Quj
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "Don't you think you're taking this a little too far?"701Please respect copyright.PENANATOEQRJDzqd
"No, I'm not," she replied. This time she even pouted her lip.701Please respect copyright.PENANAeMQX5kNi6O
"It's not nice to leave Mino hanging like that," said Christine. "Don't forget that you aren't a jellyfish. You're Zoey."701Please respect copyright.PENANARdAquhCi7R
"Our sweet, sweet Zoey," I added the cherry on top.701Please respect copyright.PENANAMezdBJuYUi
"Our sweet like sugar, Zoey," said Lisa, following my lead.701Please respect copyright.PENANAN5TJvN08Ay
"You're sweet like sugar," sang Jisoo on stage.701Please respect copyright.PENANAiep0Sr1CuD
"You're sweet like sugar," Jennie and Rosé sang along.701Please respect copyright.PENANA4mozB73ftv
"This sugar got us sprung," Christine and I joined in.701Please respect copyright.PENANAwZZWerVbSu
I snapped my fingers 701Please respect copyright.PENANAonNfgPE8j4
following a certain tune and the rest of the girls even Jisoo on stage 701Please respect copyright.PENANAalwKXC757t
joined in. Zoey's attention was captured by us all snapping our fingers.701Please respect copyright.PENANAe6knXQYl5m
I approached Zoey from behind with Christine, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, 701Please respect copyright.PENANAJtTxW0wS5l
forming a half circle, still snapping our fingers.701Please respect copyright.PENANAx31baf83G7
The girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 701Please respect copyright.PENANAvq8k4HO4Rw
Lisa: You're sweet like 701Please respect copyright.PENANAU9sxsnsLTU
All girls: Da double dee double di [x2]701Please respect copyright.PENANAGqr0UJsf2K
Jennie: You're sweet like 701Please respect copyright.PENANATOLK2l68KA
All girls: Da double dee double di Sugar 701Please respect copyright.PENANA1igJkfIPQL
We all ended up giving a701Please respect copyright.PENANANv8htdPLsV
Zoey a little shove in the back and she took a step forward. Mino took 701Please respect copyright.PENANAysCrmMcpLS
the opportunity to grab her hand and bring her up on stage. What a way 701Please respect copyright.PENANAQJm22RyI7K
to make an entry. When Zoey got on stage, Mino spun her around. Zoey 701Please respect copyright.PENANAa3QPtPirQU
looked confused as to what was going on until Mino started to rap out 701Please respect copyright.PENANAzL6xtEQMxd
the words to Flo Rida's "Sweet Like Sugar" verse.701Please respect copyright.PENANAmO3VyXtrhj
Mino: Hey, I've got a mouth full of cavities.701Please respect copyright.PENANAlPJRZtEYCX
Sweet tooth, full of mama, like sugar to me.701Please respect copyright.PENANAs3MShWFf4m
So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.701Please respect copyright.PENANAADuWp8FO79
Shawty gotta kiss, it's an emergency. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.701Please respect copyright.PENANAOfufSjKjF6
Daniel who was following suit with Mino and dancing with Jisoo also rapped the first verse.701Please respect copyright.PENANACMMcHWXvEM
Daniel: Won't smile this way, baby I rub it off.701Please respect copyright.PENANA8xvYAxipbB
Put my tongue in your face A little mistletoe, sippin Gram I A.701Please respect copyright.PENANAqA9SBW5Wie
Im a fan all day.701Please respect copyright.PENANARKGJ0zs3zu
Do me that favor, cuz I like your flavor.701Please respect copyright.PENANA4X2fEA7JZ2
My manage behavior; Im into your major.701Please respect copyright.PENANABcWRKAdVMu
Sweeter so flavor, thats good for this player.701Please respect copyright.PENANAi8BmgR5jwK
Mike grabbed Jennie's hand and on their way to the stage, he also rapped:701Please respect copyright.PENANARL4UO3x7Bx
Mike: My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager.701Please respect copyright.PENANAO9mJRJFn9n
Pretty much, youre givin me a sugar rush.701Please respect copyright.PENANALS2VDo80Yv
Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush.701Please respect copyright.PENANAacJiXD6uuP
Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Shawty thats whats up. 701Please respect copyright.PENANApkisDqi8si
The three couples on 701Please respect copyright.PENANAlErVloYQtF
stage dancing and the guys twirling the girls around got me smiling. And701Please respect copyright.PENANANamzMCmpB5
surprisingly, I was dancing my way on stage as I sang the chorus. I 701Please respect copyright.PENANA5WQvBpDDAD
spun around and I found myself at the centre of the stage while the 701Please respect copyright.PENANAYinBKvaqC5
three couples surrounding me in a circle.701Please respect copyright.PENANAFcd9V9Aie9
Me: My lips like sugar [x2]701Please respect copyright.PENANAvkNty6FFfg
This candy got you sprung [x2]701Please respect copyright.PENANAjrcpfHxu81
So call me your sugar [x2]701Please respect copyright.PENANAb6xQ27aAF9
You love you some [x2]701Please respect copyright.PENANA6OCLF3eGTF
I'm sweet like 701Please respect copyright.PENANAHjOfKxuF5y
All girls: Da double dee double di [x3] 701Please respect copyright.PENANAApcWElSGLr
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di [x2]701Please respect copyright.PENANA8xwjjR4QBn
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di701Please respect copyright.PENANAsKJR2ya4mx
Sugar701Please respect copyright.PENANA2lAYK4BMPt
Seunghoon came up on 701Please respect copyright.PENANAukuYfVIt0e
stage and joined me at the centre. I smiled at him as he held my hand. 701Please respect copyright.PENANAtER2uDtdFq
We danced together as he rapped out the second verse.701Please respect copyright.PENANApwfLTBvNmf
Down stage, Seungyoon 701Please respect copyright.PENANAXuCvTGZIbx
paired with Lisa, Jinwoo with Christine and TOP with Rosé. Everyone had a701Please respect copyright.PENANA6TYGym85dw
partner and it was so fun. We faced our partner as we danced. The 701Please respect copyright.PENANAMtop6bo9ya
ladies every now and then will be twirled around and the fact that we 701Please respect copyright.PENANAvaQd9O9Lvs
all did that simultaneously was awesome.701Please respect copyright.PENANAbvbW5cwvYj
The other guys continued to rap out Flo Rida's verses while we could all sing out the chorus together.701Please respect copyright.PENANAKZwiwC3syq
All: My lips like sugar (x2)701Please respect copyright.PENANAI5LiVPoSXo
This candy got you sprung (x2)701Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ2M78jkSO
So call me your sugar (x2)701Please respect copyright.PENANAbfwjmc6jiO
You love you some (x2)701Please respect copyright.PENANAsgvX3TxIGZ
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x3)701Please respect copyright.PENANAwkYw8atOAQ
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di (x2) 701Please respect copyright.PENANAmNos1gsJxu
I'm sweet like Da double dee double di701Please respect copyright.PENANAcx8AXvOfrS
Sugar 701Please respect copyright.PENANA2i3uiuPQFb
I701Please respect copyright.PENANApBF1H29tiO
was staring straight into Seunghoon's eyes as he and I breathed out 701Please respect copyright.PENANAnrUpax43ID
heavily right after we finished the song. Our foreheads touched as we 701Please respect copyright.PENANAKWJghI4rfq
looked at each other and for a moment, all I could see and feel was him 701Please respect copyright.PENANAYSQ41Znc7y
until a loud round of applause brought me back from my little world. I 701Please respect copyright.PENANA57TNGgF0Iq
quickly broke away from Seunghoon.701Please respect copyright.PENANATXEUgjKtMD
Onlookers701Please respect copyright.PENANAm75UliEPWM
in the lobby had surrounded the stage to watch us perform when all we 701Please respect copyright.PENANAMGFF3ObHYo
did was just have fun and dance on stage. Bright lights from people's 701Please respect copyright.PENANAsfOciqBJSB
phones blinked before my eyes and there were loud screams from the fans.701Please respect copyright.PENANAL5kf1ZWkmw
For a moment, I felt a little confused until I slowly took it all in.701Please respect copyright.PENANAJu3O4SGqZA
"Wow, what's happening?" Zoey asked. I looked to my side and I hadn't noticed that she was standing next to me.701Please respect copyright.PENANAveS7HguAQp
"Looks like we just performed in front of a crowd without realising it," I answered.701Please respect copyright.PENANAHBj5KWpUBv
I looked at everyone else on stage and also those those who danced down stage. They also looked as confused.701Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZZsxREujb
"Isn't this where we all take a bow?" Seunghoon asked as he came to whisper in my ear.701Please respect copyright.PENANA4PasEqfLDE
"Ya, we really should," I answered.701Please respect copyright.PENANAxopx1qwyP6
"We should do what?" Mike asked as he came to stand next to Seunghoon.701Please respect copyright.PENANAnXCvIyOFbC
"Take a bow," I said.701Please respect copyright.PENANAKgarUBHXa1
Zoey who stood next to 701Please respect copyright.PENANAEcbo59UFwo
me held my hand and I saw Mino standing next to her also take hold of 701Please respect copyright.PENANAIdAbUqP5OB
her's. I felt Seunghoon's fingers enclose around my hand. Mike also took701Please respect copyright.PENANApEUUbJB3uG
Seunghoon's and Jennie's hand. And the rest of the others who were down701Please respect copyright.PENANAsMGhwDVGrE
stage came and joined us in the joining of hands. Then all together we 701Please respect copyright.PENANAcTKb8RlMtF
bowed at the same time and we received an even bigger round of applause.701Please respect copyright.PENANA6InLyzaZLd
"Well, this just got 701Please respect copyright.PENANAZgmHmiAXIA
interesting," said TOP. Somehow, I still managed to get him through the 701Please respect copyright.PENANAZdr0ET7FBh
loud noise of the audience who kept on cheering.701Please respect copyright.PENANATR49YYyTCv
"It's about to get even more interesting," said Mike. "Look who's in the crowd."701Please respect copyright.PENANA04A9L0QXCS
The way Mike said it 701Please respect copyright.PENANAbh9rjiYlDT
made me think of Collins and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at the 701Please respect copyright.PENANAjtErIS8GRG
crowd. Was Collins here? But then my heart settled when I saw who was 701Please respect copyright.PENANAo69qOIsDkF
making their way to us through the crowd. Lee.701Please respect copyright.PENANAkEWz8D4UYe
"I told her to come here," I said with a smile and I broke away from the others to head to Lee.701Please respect copyright.PENANAkjdAVW855K
When I got down from the701Please respect copyright.PENANArbQoN7GtIY
stage, Lee had already gotten away from the screaming fans. And the 701Please respect copyright.PENANAjXRivQyGdl
surprising thing was that I hadn't noticed that the security had come in701Please respect copyright.PENANAI8o1YPHKWK
to handle the crowd from getting up on stage. Noticing the commotion, I701Please respect copyright.PENANAGKBGWVgLjt
quickly grabbed Lee's hand and pulled her with me up on stage.701Please respect copyright.PENANAIy3q2Q8qWV
"Well, you guys sure 701Please respect copyright.PENANA2Xd8mPrGox
know who to stir a crowd," said Lee as she looked behind her. "I even 701Please respect copyright.PENANAK3ZUGGgPBo
had to warn the security before I could even get here."701Please respect copyright.PENANAeTKx5Spegv
"Lee, you're here!" came Daniel and the next thing I know, all four Toxins had quickly surrounded Lee into a hug.701Please respect copyright.PENANA89hr9ZNgdw
"Goodness!" Lee couldn't701Please respect copyright.PENANA8JU8GzckPa
believe all the love she was getting that she couldn't help but smile. 701Please respect copyright.PENANAX8jUgeY4VT
"I haven't been gone forever, you know?"701Please respect copyright.PENANA34XwhlmLuy
"We just missed you, 701Please respect copyright.PENANAvQnkOBhEYs
that's all," said Zoey, they were all still hugging her. "You're usually701Please respect copyright.PENANA8M5jAJHt4x
with us but these past days you haven't."701Please respect copyright.PENANAvcZUMQkCM2
"You're right and I miss all of you too. Been caught up with work. And now, you have all given me a much bigger mess to clean."701Please respect copyright.PENANA7zNx1Xtddb
"Does Collins know?" Christine asked as they all broke away from hugging Lee.701Please respect copyright.PENANAUN7zuN0aSC
"He would've called by 701Please respect copyright.PENANAv6SDuAVcHi
now," Lee answered. "Yang Hyun-suk would've done the same, but so far, 701Please respect copyright.PENANAvPdEO9ovBg
no calls from the grim reapers yet."701Please respect copyright.PENANAlr3nXj1AOZ
"When you put it like that you make it sound like a bad thing," said Mike as he sulked.701Please respect copyright.PENANAtpRKg40WVZ
"It is!" Lee emphasised through the loud noise of the crowd behind her. "You better have a reason for all this. Sam?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAp8F5sgVC0z
Immediately Lee focused 701Please respect copyright.PENANAdt3wWStksB
on me, the other Toxins did the same. I hated such moments when everyone701Please respect copyright.PENANAbuwcqQgU54
looks at you just because you have to give an explanation. For now, I 701Please respect copyright.PENANAONp0A9hmx9
couldn't blame them.701Please respect copyright.PENANABDza3VrOCY
"We've a lot to tell you, Lee," I started.701Please respect copyright.PENANANg90ApG6d1
"That's true," said TOP as he came from behind to stand next to me.701Please respect copyright.PENANAuDk5yGoFVf
"How701Please respect copyright.PENANA0neegHAnNR
did you even allow all of this to happen, TOP?" Lee asked as she looked701Please respect copyright.PENANAFe9rQxOyIk
at him. "And you ended up joining in the fun and turned this place into701Please respect copyright.PENANAGM9Q8dXfaw
your own dance hall."701Please respect copyright.PENANA3tW5cYemyP
"Can you hear us out first?" Zoey asked. "Because all this just didn't start from YG."701Please respect copyright.PENANAPmODn4Zsbq
Lee had a horrified look on her face as she looked at Zoey. "What do you mean?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAO4h3VvLLPm
"It all started yesterday," said Mike.701Please respect copyright.PENANAg0dZIntkHV
"And....?" Lee was waiting for someone to go on with the explanation until.....701Please respect copyright.PENANAkV6fFRSfbR
"I was in Sam's and Zoey's closet," came Seunghoon who came to to stand on my other side.701Please respect copyright.PENANA3SVxFUwj4y
Lee looked shocked. First of all, because of Seunghoon's sudden appearance and second, because of what he said.701Please respect copyright.PENANAilpT0K9heJ
"You were in what now!" Lee asked, looking like she was going to faint.701Please respect copyright.PENANAPqt9fleENz
"I told you it was a long story," I said. "Why don't we just talk about this over lunch? We're really starved."701Please respect copyright.PENANA0wuvLvsAe2
"No,701Please respect copyright.PENANAbWSmJygfCC
wait, hold up," said Lee as she held her hand up. "How WINNER comes 701Please respect copyright.PENANALPgetixhog
into the picture, I now understand, but what about BlackPink? Don't tell701Please respect copyright.PENANALfWDJHRFSD
me someone else was hiding in the boy's closet too!"701Please respect copyright.PENANArUzPRoAAic
"That would have been nice," said Mike with a stupid grin on his face. I threw him a look and the smile fell right away.701Please respect copyright.PENANAVln3zeOrqN
"No, we met them today," said Lisa as she came to stand beside Seunghoon and looked at him. "You hid in the girl's closet?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAcswpv9Yjit
"It was a surprise," said Seunghoon.701Please respect copyright.PENANAzZkOlX59WI
"That's something," said Jennie as she rolled her eyes and came to join us with the rest of BlackPink and WINNER.701Please respect copyright.PENANAxgMcOEstm6
"Don't blame me for being a fan," said Seunghoon.701Please respect copyright.PENANARPejqDHuDq
"I told him we should've come up with another surprise," said Seungyoon.701Please respect copyright.PENANAzPtGdoUTYW
"Well, he barely listens to us anyway," said Jinwoo.701Please respect copyright.PENANA8oazHVXbxx
I701Please respect copyright.PENANAPxVLznEaav
looked at Lee and realised that her face was losing colour as she 701Please respect copyright.PENANALzDgK3KPWV
looked at the number of people standing before her. Now that she knows 701Please respect copyright.PENANAiCgJnc7gTJ
she wasn't just dealing with The Toxins but now BlackPink and WINNER, it701Please respect copyright.PENANA0lImkONcuH
was a lot to take in.701Please respect copyright.PENANAqYslMVe32O
"I think I'm going to faint," said Lee. "This is just too much even your managers will explode."701Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1BTpWI8ZW
"That's701Please respect copyright.PENANAGj6UHS5JG5
why you shouldn't worry about a thing," I said. "We all know that we 701Please respect copyright.PENANAIASMXaq5XA
are in trouble and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We all 701Please respect copyright.PENANAsFDdQI15DW
wanted to hang out and even if we were to do it in secret, they would 701Please respect copyright.PENANAXg1nDMKf47
still find out anyway."701Please respect copyright.PENANAEWDFqewINQ
Lee scratched her head. "You're right on that one. There's nothing we can do but feel their warth when they find out."701Please respect copyright.PENANAO8PGalWLCU
"As long as we had fun today, I've no regrets," said Mino.701Please respect copyright.PENANAGVpsZ99BDL
Everyone701Please respect copyright.PENANAArdzUvzlIy
else apart from Lee agreed. Even I had to admit, we had fun and we had 701Please respect copyright.PENANATLcmt1FXR4
only just started. We had a lot of things to do in Times Square and 701Please respect copyright.PENANARSgYh1eVKc
somehow the anxiety was killing me.701Please respect copyright.PENANAD2vBW2vazZ
After701Please respect copyright.PENANA74osKMkG7Z
the crowd had cleared away from the stage, we were now back to the plan701Please respect copyright.PENANAEvp0LaY7L7
we had had before. And that was having lunch. We were on our way to the701Please respect copyright.PENANAPyojzStFiR
food court when Lee asked:701Please respect copyright.PENANAbsnxZnlRDj
"Who came up with that hash tag on Twitter?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAAa2tp0XKnB
"Zoey did," I answered as I pointed at Zoey walking beside me.701Please respect copyright.PENANAgBEksmzPaw
"What's wrong with it?" Zoey asked.701Please respect copyright.PENANAiKcbur1QlD
"You701Please respect copyright.PENANAUMStdMRv6W
put up #BTW," said Lee. "Won't other people apart from your fans find 701Please respect copyright.PENANAttGjej3x8w
it odd when they find that on the trending list and ask 'what could 701Please respect copyright.PENANAYvDOa5IpLs
possibly be a by a way thing?' BTW does mean by the way."701Please respect copyright.PENANAjyj9oPEOvs
"I701Please respect copyright.PENANAb4xtf1OX1x
don't think it's that bad," said Rosé. "I mean we couldn't make a long 701Please respect copyright.PENANAdABWGj4R1a
hash tag with the group's names so, putting it in abbreviations seemed 701Please respect copyright.PENANAEKgyXLFNs4
okay."701Please respect copyright.PENANAvbx7HPE8sL
"I didn't like the BTW thing though," said Mike.701Please respect copyright.PENANAQLHhnusyoF
"Well, you should have maybe put WTB or TBW," said Lee. "BTW is already taken."701Please respect copyright.PENANAZRduiyOxWr
"You701Please respect copyright.PENANAEGiITXcWJQ
can eat me later but that was all I could think of to prevent our 701Please respect copyright.PENANATXSM6BPesI
managers from finding out about us quickly," said Zoey. "Not everyone 701Please respect copyright.PENANARhmu7jUw1K
knew about it before we did our little performance. I bet others still 701Please respect copyright.PENANAYOTYFD0OtT
don't know up to now."701Please respect copyright.PENANAi942tawLzZ
"BTW701Please respect copyright.PENANALWX942a1IW
is now trending number 2 by the way," said Lee. "I don't even know how I701Please respect copyright.PENANAAT5vQbMkSw
realised that BTW was even you three all together. At first I was a 701Please respect copyright.PENANA64YOwYowzn
little confused that that was trending until I realised there was 701Please respect copyright.PENANAd33gh1xXuB
nothing familiar trending on Twitter related to you guys."701Please respect copyright.PENANAOkiScAnmVn
"I701Please respect copyright.PENANAsDyJAgKsJv
think Zoey did good," I said. "Even I would have thought of a name for 701Please respect copyright.PENANA3YtBnwbPeQ
this little group that wouldn't capture so much attention from the 701Please respect copyright.PENANAsZHnkli48h
normal human perspective."701Please respect copyright.PENANAD8v8yaQt44
"Is Sam calling me smart?" Zoey asked as she smirked. "Most people don't say that about me."701Please respect copyright.PENANAs2fPrEqgAZ
"I think she is," said TOP.701Please respect copyright.PENANACMkeL88fus
"Yay!" Zoey clapped her hands with glee.701Please respect copyright.PENANABO2tOzzLvd
"You're smart now but you'll be a jellyfish later," jeered Mike.701Please respect copyright.PENANAhkUjIbnbFS
Zoey701Please respect copyright.PENANADwnodvd61v
stopped clapping and she looked at Mike who was walking in front of 701Please respect copyright.PENANAzvOZ0jxN8A
her. Her excited demeanor changed in an instant to killer mode.701Please respect copyright.PENANAicq0M1gcEh
"Did Mike just say jellyfish?" Lee asked. "Where did that come from?"701Please respect copyright.PENANAfoosyfbwqd
"That's another long story," said Jisoo.701Please respect copyright.PENANAPAp4F9gqiD
Before701Please respect copyright.PENANAW0vT3eUkvT
Lee could say anything else, Zoey let out a war cry and immediately she701Please respect copyright.PENANAauAUBIXZa5
did, Mike took it on cue to run for his life. He ran ahead towards the 701Please respect copyright.PENANA3av5iD6ikj
open food court and Zoey was right behind him.701Please respect copyright.PENANAwgnmZsFJnj
"I'm going to kill you, Mike!" Zoey called after him.701Please respect copyright.PENANAa98PH3aSKS
"You better catch me first!" Mike called back.701Please respect copyright.PENANAjrz9TVQaOw
The701Please respect copyright.PENANAmjrMSzaCqq
rest of us paused as we looked at Zoey chase Mike down and a few 701Please respect copyright.PENANAE4MKOd0iuv
onlookers stopped to us see the sequel before them. I smiled. Those two 701Please respect copyright.PENANA1YTFeDywZt
would never stop fighting no matter what.701Please respect copyright.PENANACo6o3QzRGO
"I701Please respect copyright.PENANAn18QvDoKwm
was about to say, my day is so full of stories," said Lee and she gave a701Please respect copyright.PENANACvkiJvhE8D
little laugh as she looked towards the food court. "But it looks like 701Please respect copyright.PENANAjxMzSZ9z1s
it's full of drama too."701Please respect copyright.PENANA5peAmTwqW0
"I hope she doesn't sting him," said Jinwoo.701Please respect copyright.PENANAxpCAZKOzAk
"Do701Please respect copyright.PENANAsURxyuQPup
you think our managers would ever make BTW a real thing?" Seunghoon 701Please respect copyright.PENANA2R0ouax8Og
asked, his eyes still focused on the two Toxins running around the food 701Please respect copyright.PENANAabLohXKUUb
court.701Please respect copyright.PENANARZVlEIE48P
"I hope they do," said Jennie. "It would be so much fun."701Please respect copyright.PENANAqCWoZd7h7g
"The fans are already loving it," said Mino. "I don't see why they wouldn't make it a real thing."701Please respect copyright.PENANA2QysFu2gqx
"I hope so too," said Christine.701Please respect copyright.PENANAi9WcCT54bZ
"Come701Please respect copyright.PENANA7M22sVbBpq
on, let's not watch these guys run around, I'm starving," said Daniel. 701Please respect copyright.PENANAGO7cp3e0Hc
"And we got a movie to watch on the largest screen in the world."701Please respect copyright.PENANA1dV9dhRN3t
"Did you just say the largest screen in the world?" Lee asked with a surprised look on her face.701Please respect copyright.PENANAiUlrckVyIE
"Ya, I did." Daniel smiled.701Please respect copyright.PENANAEcemL7kv6f
As701Please respect copyright.PENANAjQqjbYFdgm
we made our way towards the court, the thing about BTW started spinning701Please respect copyright.PENANAlF2rCt1ySa
in my mind. As much as that seemed like a good idea, the others were 701Please respect copyright.PENANALKL9EI0DTM
forgetting that despite dealing with two difficult managers, us The 701Please respect copyright.PENANA8SNPiV2faQ
Toxins weren't going to be here for long and there may be a lot more 701Please respect copyright.PENANAGPppG5W0s4
other issues which I wasn't ready to deal with at the moment.701Please respect copyright.PENANA34DcXkxCsF
I701Please respect copyright.PENANAvUY1bZHIHY
didn't want to burst everyone's bubble because they were all in a good 701Please respect copyright.PENANAbRhmrpwDvC
mood, so I kept all these worries to myself. Hopefully this time I might701Please respect copyright.PENANAr8FJE5c8GW
be wrong about my thoughts, except on the part where other issues out 701Please respect copyright.PENANA2QIgp3NAUA
of the blue may arise.701Please respect copyright.PENANAMMovqY8SAh
But the other thing that worried me was that my premonitions in most cases, were never wrong.
