Hanging out at Times 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRLTtkZu4u
Square was super duper fun yesterday. The positive reactions we got from1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEfO1ZFkqb
the fans sent us trending all over Twitter within hours and soon, 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyUvYrcqD3
everyone got to know that BTW meant BlackPink, The Toxins and WINNER.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqvR3rUUL1
But that didn't matter. 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnbO7piF6C
The three groups together with Lee and TOP had a ton of fun stuff to do 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy593A9uCI3
at Times Square soon after we had lunch. We first went to watch a movie 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i3IqXTFW8
on the largest screen in the world, which was amazing. Then we went and 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkiBDcCjkH
had fun at the "I Like Dalgi Children's Theme Park", meant for little 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LsPARwPZU
kids. But hey, who says grown ups can't have a little fun too? Don't 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLZdv3qKRH
worry, we weren't actually playing on the swings or anything. We 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uO6ilto7l
actually played around with the adorable kids.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FOiF3dNYX
There were plenty of 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvXwEub0V2
open outdoor spaces like the ecology park, a fountain and a rooftop 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ghqqLlQt3
garden that we visited. We even took group pictures and selfies with the1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9dXB5BbuS
beautiful nature around us. And we managed to get pictures with a few 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpxSU9xRVe
fans too.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeB7A5r8XU
The time we were done 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GdpswdbUt
having fun at Times Square was in the evening and it was completely 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0gD1JRl9S
unbelievable when we stepped out into the parking lot and found three 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SSaGPy1F6
black SUV cars, for each of the three groups waiting to pick us up. What1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSycQS3fohA
made the scene even more dramatic yet terrifying, was that our two 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7k9LRkm5n
managers were there, waiting for us. They had received the message 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMmsBvpj1V
through social media alright and they didn't look too happy that we had 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55q82u9x4g
all met and decided to hang out. It was surprising to them that we had 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMzflCtzov
all met "by coincidence." The rest of us never said a word about how 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wdi33rg58
everything came to be. Especially with WINNER visiting The Toxins the 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDMwJPkUT1
previous day, of course.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pDHVi8slw
As much as the managers 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCGM1WIalz
kept their cool and didn't say a word afterwards meant they weren't 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLLe5V2248
really mad at all and we managed to drive away from Times Square without1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUPzv6vZhA
any complaints. I knew my plan would work but I also knew we were in 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSCM8xK9w8
for a serious talk from our two managers after they take this all in.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zx0WoA1jb
Right now, this very 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LotXhKJdX
morning, I was bending over, tying my shoelaces and wondering what they 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxv5CmT7MM
could possibly want to talk to the three groups about as we meet with 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DiOU2QLLY
them. Collins told us a few minutes ago during breakfast that he and 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXc0R4NhgV
Yang Hyun-suk want the three groups to go to YG and talk. I hope it 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEmfXrf8cl
isn't that serious because yesterday, they didn't seem so mad at all. 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWMrzE87m4
But why was I so worried? I couldn't figure out what was bothering me 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UE0v1EM9I
and I just couldn't take it.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjAt0jXbAq
I stood up straight after tying my shoelaces and I noticed Zoey approach me as she came out of the bathroom.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAejSicBZD
"Do you think they are mad?" Zoey asked as she stood a few feet away from me.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARw6ybI9Nz
"You're worried, aren't you?" I asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHf2reiYfm
"Aren't you?" Zoey folded her arms.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi3DocHZp7
I sighed. If Zoey could be as worried as I was, the rest of The Toxins were too.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchMP4jd1Ek
"I am," I said. "It's pretty troublesome that they would want us all to meet at YG."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cim4LVN2b
"I thought you said your plan would work."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5GI9Zo5Hy
"In some way, it did, because they would have been so furious at us, but they weren't."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rzLNYtkSw
"Do you think they would want to talk about this BTW thing?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmKfsi0gH3
I felt like slapping my 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAhlLh3cBD
forehead because I realised I was such a complete idiot. Of course. BTW.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhYwNcDEF4
Now that Zoey mentioned it, it all made sense. The managers would 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMWDiMLezg
probably want to talk about BTW because as far as the three groups 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwKbD0L1eO
meeting "by coincidence" was concerned, they had completely brushed it 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEXMlW5SJd
off.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynHV4Vgiq8
"Ya, you're right," I said. "They obviously want to talk about that."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSbBr5FZfC
"Do you think they would want to make it a real thing?" Zoey was getting anxious.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7aVWlbPoX
"I would hold that thought for a while if I were you and see what the managers have to say."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gT0hC2xGy
Zoey raised an eyebrow at me. "You're worried that they wouldn't agree, aren't you?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHZqcPIp3M
I shrugged. She read my 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjfyr9dYUB
mind really well. "I can't lie. I thought about it yesterday and now 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFFiR8YRt0
that you bought up the BTW thing, I realise it's what's been bothering 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLuOs511eX
me the whole time."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklSInId3VD
I sat down on my bed as 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudT7YuRek4
my mind kept spinning around the issue. I shouldn't have told Zoey how I1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0XQZK3aDV
felt about all this but I had to let it out somehow.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYJyNqHUMS
"You know, you should have given us a heads up about it, Sam," said Zoey as she also sat on her bed facing me.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVghrCnPyRh
"Gosh, you really should1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhFc5lFzVW
have seen the looks on all of your faces when we were having fun 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jKEWkWKxJ
yesterday. I just couldn't burst your bubble and tell you whats likely 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBoMF2Yt06
to happen to BTW. We all weren't going to enjoy ourselves when it really1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nY4RjxE2B
mattered so I kept quiet. I for one even forgot about it too."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtTvx7XrFi
"Ya, you're right not to have brought it up or I would've killed you."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIc40Zycte
"Like you almost did to Mike?" I smirked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtmQZe6L9g
"Mike is annoying 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3y3aJeL9o
sometimes," said Zoey as she expressed her irritation with her hands as 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJuel59mA9
though they were bear claws. "You could scratch his eyes out."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW3mUxjwXk
"You've been planning to do that ever since we became best friends and he knew the essence of being annoying around you."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsQRCarxwW
"You're right. I should burn him instead."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkR4BwSdOq
I laughed. "The drama between you two never gets old."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p2Z050BE8
"And what about the drama between you and Seunghoon?" Zoey's eyebrows were raised and she had a crooked smile on her face.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQzqrzGTrv
"Don't even go there," I warned as I pointed a finger at her.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyviFhfr8d3
"Sorry, but just so you 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxqDOBZMmh
know, all the guys on social media were kind of jealous when he posted 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnGfG8wfah
that pic of you and him together."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6sghqcIvu
"Pff! That's not true." I rolled my eyes.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB1X5yKa5u
"Well, you can ask Seungri and TOP who made a comment on Instagram last night."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVSMrhwb87
I blushed and at the 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClfXWnbW5P
same time felt so confused. Zoey had a silly smile on her face and I 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwKVBmOQIi
couldn't tell whether she did that to intimidate me or there was some 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSWKVtI0Xa
other hidden agenda.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR6AfRTW95
"You weren't on Instagram last night, were you?" she asked this time with a surprised look on her face.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT1CHIyh0Z
"I was," I said as I stared at the ceiling to avoid her eyes."But only for a little while."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtsFxGWC2J
"Or you weren't really there at all. If you did, you wouldn't have that look on your face."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf3WJLBIFt
I sighed in surrender. 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8jrFLM5uq
"Fine. You caught me. I logged out of Instagram because I wanted to. 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCOtJdgIGT
Besides, I knew all the notifications I was bound to receive were going 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT98vYZ3Oks
to be endless, so I did what I had to do."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImQ3HPN1ly
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."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh9M31aaaD
"You know me already, Zoey. I like social media when it's necessary."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqEjZfM0Gg
"And hate it when you hit the headlines. Ya, I know you very well."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6TMTH0xPG
"Okay, enough. What happened on Instagram last night?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjjWRaTYLu
Zoey had an excited look1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoAQRQDScM
on her face that for a moment, I was surprised that she was ever even 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp0AOyZVXm
worried about us meeting with the managers at YG. Something hot was 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkAUsfYrbn
cooking about Seunghoon and I being called a couple. And it could 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJP1IX8V4y
clearly show all over her face.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD22Wo1Fy9M
"There was a debate last night whether you made a compatible girlfriend for Seungyoon," said Zoey as she excitedly bit her lip.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ewzWV4jhx
I shook my head. "And?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaPDJAZOen
Zoey folded her arms, 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRCrCavlcb
still smiling. "Some people thought you and Seunghoon made a lovely 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkaikZU7sq
couple, but others, mostly guys, didn't."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY1TwGQIHP
"Hold that thought. This1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NneqXvsSt
wouldn't have come up unless someone said something about the two of us1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHZnvbzyA1
after Seunghoon posted that picture."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UAy7ha2C4
"Don't look at me." Zoey looked the other way. "I didn't say anything."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xw0WXOBW2
I snapped my fingers. "Seunghoon."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTqXHckxxw
"Bingo!" Zoey clapped her hands.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyWmPPL0Ft
"Gosh, what's wrong with him?" I rubbed my forehead feeling like I might just develop a headache.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXOz7xrmA4
"He's a fan. Is that so wrong?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1jXG8mGMt
"Well, he hid in our closet."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fU6o8xR3Y
"That was just the closet. Even I would do that for my bias."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3nfKuGifj
"Wow!" I leaned back in surprise. "Did you just say bias?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uUkGucffN
"Ya, why?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlX9FVgswC
"Looks like we just 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA5M3BUcxh
developed the k-pop culture where we refer to our favourite celebrity, 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6jaF8QNLr
whom we consider perfect as our bias."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTtDrWetyU
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."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoKiucglG0
"But anyway, Seunghoon hiding in my closet wasn't the only thing that he has done."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtRxKRDPwW
"What do you mean? You 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gs6cpMF5Z
got to meet Seunghoon for the first time when he jumped out of our 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWX6Z1Pn4Q
closet. What else could he possibly have done before that?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgbA7YLf0m
"We had a few encounters before though I never knew it was him."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCsRDyTAU9
Zoey's eyes bulged out in surprise. "He was stalking you?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG0KpIMJ4Q
"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."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNieOrNjoO
"When did that happen and when were you ever going to tell me?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumd1G5oWAo
"I wanted to but I kept 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OQQX74Arj
it to myself. And when other issues started to arise, especially with 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe0Gl5kGuc
Jehan, I even forgot that I even had a stalker."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KcynX1b47
"Jehan. Don't remind me," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk7NdWKn7b
"Ya, I shouldn't. But now you know. And for the record, don't tell anybody."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEswuV7JPf
"My lips on this one are sealed. I won't tell anyone, not even G-Dragon."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkW6Jjm5Gk
I looked at Zoey with a questioning look. "Why would you mention him in all of this?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV3o6fUrl5
Zoey quickly got up from the bed. "Pretend I never said that."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6BRaMKUNN
I quickly stood up and 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn02Q34vhQj
Zoey made a beeline for the door. I followed her and just before she 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteuYx1yAUr
could hold the door knob, I reached her, held her by the hair and pulled1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzeR7FxEgH
her back.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAOgjPRIAt
"Ow, ow, ow!" Zoey yelled as she held the back of her head from where I pulled at her hair.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh6oFF23Sr
"Zoey, you're going to 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQYWEfiAHk
tell me right now what you mean," I said, pulling her hair even more. 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLnwzbMLu6
"Or else, I'll pull your hair out and you will not think of dying your 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU29jIJTcH
own hair pink in the next ten years."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMwwyulVbO
"Ouch! Sam! You're hurting me!" Zoey complained. "I was just joking around."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsfbxyXwFr
"You're lying."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu4UIACCKa
"I'm telling the truth!"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDBXhAEk5c
"Come on, Zoey. You personally had a talk with G-Dragon, didn't you?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA5WkFgvMn
I felt Zoey pause as she stopped struggling to get away. "How did you know?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNigwEUXC1U
"I know because I know. So, what did you two talk about?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDiVcdHV09
"I can't tell you that."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2kt4ECrsE
"Why?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nH4gjioZB
"Because it's 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtLgXsajaS
confidential. Owwwuch!" I made sure I tightened my fist even more under 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hKNrONmT7
her hair pulling at her roots. "That really hurts!"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hb5V9O3Cn
The door in front of us suddenly flew open. Lee came in the room and paused upon seeing the scene in front of her.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KGaB63CIo
"Is it me or is Sam trying to braid your hair?" Lee asked Zoey with an unbelievable look on her face.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYC5uA6VGT
"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."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDS09Eqswy
"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.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHi0BOtQQQ
"You can tell me about your drama later," said Lee. "The car's here and we have to go."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys610crT8G
Zoey whined as though she was about to cry. "Do we really have to go now?" she asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2GH7tsvLO
"I know it feels like you're going for a trial, but you don't have a choice."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4qRHfdwXY
"Lee's right," I said. "We do have to hear our managers out. Though we all know it won't be pretty."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSP6ZhmUbs
"Fine," said Zoey. "Before we get there, I better prepare for the worst."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHit51iswj
"Think positive," said Lee. "You can never know what might happen."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm28EmLCpUG
"No, Sam's already spoiled my mood with her own premonitions."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FgD8iiG06
"And she did the right thing," said Lee with a smile.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJlD9hxBJe
I playfully rolled my 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZTLgSQ6ek
eyes and didn't say a word as I walked out of the room with Zoey and Lee1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRUr9onQOE
following suit. I found the other Toxins waiting by the elevator. They 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXWUesZ95k
also looked worried.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dT5pp0wcg
"You all look like you're going to a funeral," said Zoey.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez4fdAY0TH
"And you were sounding like your hair's caught fire a minute ago," said Mike, folding his arms and looking at Zoey.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXP23tI4IL
"I fell on the floor." Zoey looked at Mike with wide eyes.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjc0osgt4N
"Never mind. Just like you guys, we are also worried," I said.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UzqKIDhhZ
"Where is Collins?" Daniel asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzae5vF6Cgu
"He left soon after breakfast," Lee answered.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mcmiKYitq
The five of us turned to look at Lee. "What?" we said at the same time.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO5NscF1ni
"He left early," said Lee, shrugging her shoulders1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cpMgOABuT
"Why? Is he really that mad at us that he wants to go ahead to prepare a death trap?" Zoey asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PzNdx3RAm
"Death trap? Seriously, Zoey?" Christine asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iemilpKQA
Zoey shrugged. "Couldn't think of any other way to say it."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjUAbpjdv0
"Okay, first of all," 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmhqnU6k8e
said Lee grabbing our attention. "There is no death trap. Secondly, 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMPcX5VQrN
after we came back from Times Square, I personally talked to Collins and1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqzckn8036
he wasn't mad at you."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Z3XBqks7
"Then do you know why he wants BlackPink, WINNER and us to meet?" Mike asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDVqcJ1Tw1
"That, he couldn't say."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCM9kfuR3P
"I thought you were his assistant," said Daniel.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFakdmwGOJI
"You know, Collins doesn't tell me everything. He treats me like I'm part of you guys too."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKTTSHVJNr
"Welcome to the monkey side," said Zoey as she rolled her eyes and scratched her head.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchEZTlUSHD
"Ya, I now know how that feels. But right now we better go."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtK81qPF2H
Christine pressed the 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYxaGRSGSX
button to the elevator and when we all got in, we headed downstairs and 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxTWWe11Fb
went in the black SUV waiting for us. There were a few fans who stood 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2uxEmgy8H
outside the hotel premises and for a moment, it felt a little awkward 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGn078iv3p
that they were here in the nearly hours of the morning. I know it's 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U3keAfoRG
normal for every fan to do so but today I couldn't help but feel that 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYyYwQroR4
something was a bit odd about it. Then I remembered BTW.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEyMVX8PvI
We got to YG right on 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe3Eom343R
time and immediately we stepped into the lobby, we found all four 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNdct1haL0
members of WINNER heading for the elevator. Looked like they had also 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYFeF8PvRo
arrived a few seconds earlier.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu623ARVDRY
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted loudly so that she could grab their attention.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UiV5iqwWV
"Zoey!" Mino turned around and had a huge smile on his face. "Hey, guys."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBp0WhdeIq
"Hi," the four of us responded and not in a way people would like to hear.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoDVfJ2jAb
"You all look down," said Seungyoon. "What's wrong?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLFINeVStj
"It's nothing really," I said. "We just don't like how this meeting is going to turn out."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCsIerRndy
The four members of WINNER all muttered at the same time.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQZmPcDmia
"Guess we're not the only ones feeling that way," said Jinwoo.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0ZQjFmKUy
"Are BlackPink already here?" Mike asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhFn5bCQYE
"The receptionist says they are waiting in the conference room," said Seunghoon.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBa9LnCXQ2
"Okay," said Daniel as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's go meet our fate."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN9QCwiWKu
"If this comes out as a death trap, I'm going to say I told you so," said Zoey.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsoqSUCIqL
"There will be no such 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IH5rE82qd
thing," said Christine. "You're just exaggerating what might come up 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSaduAjJxq
that we won't like at all so you refer to it as a death trap."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsusqUVtzqs
"And you're making it 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N1dEyqNHC
sound ten times worse than it already is, Zoey," said Seungyoon, as he 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw43151E57
pouted his lip and scratched his head.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpCxby4uwr
"Wonder where that came from," said Mino.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUk6HLirdF
"Trust me, you don't 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC9TCpBvhF
want to know," said Lee as she pulled out her phone from her purse. "You1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4kmmhSX21
guys go ahead and I'll give your managers a call that you're here."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CtYEvA1x0
"You aren't coming with us?" I asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWVW8mVAsI
"I might have joined the 'monkey's club' but I'm not going to be there when they drop a bombshell."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBlAc4pnab
"See, death trap!" Zoey emphasised.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUvUjf9UAy
"Zoey!" everyone muttered loudly that Zoey quickly covered her mouth and looked away.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSaYJCv2fr
"Look, whether they are 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46MjlHHYCM
going to say what we might not like, a death trap as Zoey likes to put 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6wuuv8kP7
it. Or not, you'll be fine," said Lee. "We all have gone through this 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxn5V4jZHh
where you never like the decisions the managers have to make."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbjax6gE9C
"Please, don't remind us," said Mike as he rubbed his forehead.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNrhrqp69q
"Either way," Lee continued, "you better go. You don't want to be late."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGZayX5Avq
"Won't you wish us luck?" I asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1cWEl2a0Z
"You don't need it when you already know what's going to happen."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrZvShpE2q
I gave Lee a sad smile 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuza2Be8Gj
and turned towards the elevator. I started to feel the way I always felt1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE9CfEfoRn
whenever you had to hear a decision that might just cost something in 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GXtu9EcUr
your life. Like suicide.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDJdkBLnqV
We started our way 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbAinUlK2Q
towards the elevator when all of the sudden, I stopped when I realised 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0glJXcHFtI
that I didn't have my phone with me. I checked the pockets of my jumper 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxyeMY7BAY
and my jean trousers. Nothing.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT3cuNWdoS
"Gosh, I think I left my phone in the car," I said. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm379rHO6Oq
I quickly ran out of the1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbT1a3hmdF
lobby as the others made their way into the elevator with Lee. When I 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZvQNSHwTe
got to the parking lot, I made my way towards the SUV we had driven in 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm8CxzGbbA
and luckily, I met the driver who was almost about to leave the car. I 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKSlVMgww5
told him about my phone and he unlocked the doors for me so that I could1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1mTnvNdDc
check for it inside.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWbDSwnqmU
When I got to the 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAWONuHevm
passenger's seat, I saw the phone in between the seats I sat on with 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyWxeuFG5H
Zoey on our way here. I got in the car and sat in just to get it. When I1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvpKmPuTTB
did, I checked to see if I had any missed calls or messages. There were1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasiU6C8EbX
two missed calls and a message. I opened my inbox to read the message 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D7AxmLE7a
and it was one short sentence with only four words. I looked at the 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONAYSYRFo3
message again not believing what I read. There was only one logical 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTubXbeGEtM
explanation to this and I was going to find out why.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgortnaqnUK
Just as I was about to get out, I jumped in fright when I saw who was standing right outside the car. Seunghoon.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfxWl0CIxX
"Seriously, I can sue 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3J1oDfE3F
you for stalking me," I said as I held my chest. My heart was beating so1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIcgsA5FiN
fast. I never even heard him coming.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XdYpRWvFU
"Just came to check on you," he said with a smile.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5zixKDSRc
"You're not my bodyguard1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs1KgXAO3Y
that you've to follow me around," I said as I came out of the car and 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesXPXg4Cc2
banged the door shut. "How did you get here? I never heard you coming."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu7pRKCj5m
"Maybe I have kitty attributes like you." Seunghoon raised his eyebrows up and down and leaned towards me.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4eBkQjyXZ
I blushed. "You know about that?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV9H4AK4Jb
"Everyone knows you have1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGUHfPDTZ0
cat feet, Sam. No one ever hears you coming unless you want them to. 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8muM7TDGsT
Zoey once mentioned that in an interview, I remember."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwamM63emrt
"Never mind. I just came to get my phone and you didn't have to follow me."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisL8BEW9XY
"Looks like I did the 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6QdqRhoeP
right thing because you look like you're about to punch something right 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECvfUsSVEG
now and I'll be the one to control your anger."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx98sodlq9h
"If I wanted to, can you be my punching bag?" I folded my arms.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx453ihpZlN
"You wouldn't even if you wanted to." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCujuLnqH1Y
"You're right. I don't want to be sued by YG for breaking your face."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2QthtqIoy
"And because you're a 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalZy6Lf2dJ
lady and you don't have to punch anyone unless it's necessary. You might1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5AL7ZkeBG
have punched that school mate of yours but that was years ago. So, 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZndsYiALqO
what's up? It looked like you just received a bad message."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZdQaFSwUA
"It isn't a bad message. Just something that needs a little sorting out. Come on, you'll see."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPag4sMg8ld
I quickly started my way back to the YG building and Seunghoon was up to pace with me with his long legs.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdzDGvY8Hy
"Can you at least tell 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54I3hWfa95
me what's going on?" Seunghoon asked when we finally got in the elevator1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRVy9f3f57
and he pressed the button leading to the floor to the conference room.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW42Pvj1B5X
"Nope, if I tell you it won't have that wonderful dramatic effect," I answered.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGsNpBXeIM
"What dramatic effect?" 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXG9GPHWHC
Seunghoon looked me in the eye with a curious look on his face as he 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqppjZFVhpE
came closer. I took a warning step back.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM4m9n6XC9
"If you hadn't followed 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcOOUFdH7x
me to the parking lot, you would know what I mean and you would be 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnvRIIKlgz
trying to recover from the little surprise you'll find in the conference1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMLjKUxoTr
room."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqirgup6Gyj
"What surprise?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH4MFsdqCD
The elevator stopped and1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6zLfjEghx
the doors flew open. Just as Seunghoon and I turned to look down the 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjLrdEi1kT
hall, there was Zoey coming out hurriedly through the door of one of the1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1sfu1sLEA
rooms, into the hall and running towards the elevator upon seeing us. 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNKkZc4QIg
Seunghoon and I stepped out.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMvP5uKnoo
"Zoey, what's wrong?" Seunghoon asked when she reached us and she had a horrified look on her face.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4BanIH7tZ
"You will not believe what's going on," said Zoey.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOBdCXXIPn
"I already have a guess," I said.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk3IhIvXlQ
"You know?" Zoey grew shocked as she looked at me.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QQB24KtDJ
"Yep. And we are going to sort this out right now."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb7LKXXAmw
I made my way towards the conference room. Seunghoon and Zoey follow.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALnQVSh1VZ
"What's going on? Can someone please tell me?" Seunghoon asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5pEHWMWbv
"You're about to find out," said Zoey.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjrfyimTaa
When we reached the 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡausQKBiaEP
conference room, I took hold of the door knob, turned it and opened the 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FXQIwSfeP
door. The conference room was quiet and there was a weird aura that I 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQMloGKuqe
felt immediately I stepped in. I didn't have to ask why.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOZtjOTvHP
In the conference room 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJaR3UUoTk
was a huge round mahogany table. It's polished surface shining bright 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzElzscrnlr
under the tiny light bulbs embedded in the roof. There were black office1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlCGBEDN4v
chairs around the table. The other Toxins, BlackPink and WINNER were 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg5q4jywBx
all seated at one half end of the rounded table. When they saw me enter 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHwKjl3O4e
the room, the look on their faces was so worrying that I grew horrified 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrw8zcfI4v
though I did my best not to show it.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GCaPVKvhN
"Sam," said Mike and I stopped him short before he could say anything else with my hand raised.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtoUO5Sd8r
I looked to the opposite1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq5kXVNEly
half end of the table from where the others sat and I noticed that one 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENzk8vNVMh
of the chairs faced the other way. Someone was sitting there and had 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR73bB2vEw
turned their backs to us facing the wall.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaksZpdn253
"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."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKOYHGWUP4
G-Dragon quickly turned 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtObruAwpxv
around on the chair and he had that smile on his face that was somewhat 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHVyW4RMY0
annoying and yet so cute that my heart almost melted.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY4u48oYaK
"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?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQJMN1LCmm
"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.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlETtCHPflY
"Huh?" Seunghoon looked surprised at seeing G-Dragon and also confused at what I said. "What did it say?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxvfwe4LMV
"Just a simple, 'hi, are you coming?' was all," I said as I looked at Seunghoon.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4nZwZUGDd
"Wait," said Lisa who 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEYMByXGul
sat with the others at the other end, looking at me also with a confused1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ888Bu6W6av
look on her face. "You knew just like that? Through his message?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFwuzB1mLa
"It felt simple and 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDIORRNfHM
straightforward. For all we know, only BTW were supposed to be here to 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrG3Oq1JNu
meet with our managers. And I for one didn't make any breakfast date 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J3s6SjuMr
with G-Dragon today."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJkeGSRdKq
"Smart," said G-Dragon as he winked at me."Looks like you're really referring to your little group as BTW then."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlqZfB9KUE
"I don't have a choice." I raised my eyebrow at him. "With you around, I just have to rub it in your face." 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8joP8rTN6l
"We will see about that. Because we're going to have a serious talk about BTW."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89gwBfvYPR
"I had a feeling you would be on the managers' side the second we came here," said Mino.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZDATaCln8
"Ya, I know I'm a 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H4YdzfGnY
threat," said G-Dragon as he grinned. "I did say all this was going to 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTWVgf79Ei
have consequences if you guys keep on meeting each other."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL2hcCLik1
"If you mean us getting 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2M8NEu0ZO
into trouble with our managers, you're sadly mistaken," said Jessie. 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPK67pKpWE
"They weren't even mad at all because all they know is that we all met 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLliCQP1s8j
by coincidence."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMCNvIouWK
"You're right." G-Dragon stood up from his seat. "They aren't mad, just yet."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ziItT20q
I didn't like his last sentence and something told me he had something up his sleeve.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQcsT8gTDT
"We wouldn't be having this meeting if it wasn't for you, am I right?" I asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS5Qn6aFIF
The rest of the BTW crew1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6YE2jFDum
grew confused and started muttering. And I could tell their eyes were 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4iapIbFPY
flying from G-Dragon to me, wondering who would say something next.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoICCE7OAl
"You know me so well," said G-Dragon as he stood up and came around the table to get to me.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN5jqmt15I
"I just know how the human mindset works," I said. "I don't really know you at all."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHED1AAC6kY
"Hold up," said Zoey who1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrZ0GUnqpb
stood beside me as she looked at G-Dragon. "So, you're saying, you 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GuldDUZ7P
called for this meeting to get us in trouble?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMJxCS0pAo
"That's a simple way of putting it," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGMOmGZfPS
"Told you we'll 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xBrAsWNY8
experience a death trap," Zoey muttered loud enough for everyone to hear1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHACOrOk6PU
as she went to stand beside the others at the other end of the table.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibPNmvJkpx
"But is he going to do 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBVAyGSWuU
that?" Rosé asked. "He will need a lot of evidence to show that we all 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV1NWduI0C
didn't really meet by coincidence."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS8EWSW471
There was silence in the1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzl3bWj5oH
room until Daniel and Mike murmured "oh no" at the same time. I knew 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO7xMlrxj6
that just like me, they had already figured out what G-Dragon was 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw6lgkhm5Y
planning to do.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhIFSgV0IQ
"He doesn't need any evidence to trap us," said Mike.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGfuEZ4f2l
"What do you mean?" Jisoo who sat beside him asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCA6d7xHsz
"The managers would believe him if talks about what happened the day before yesterday at the hotel," said Daniel.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaotH0GDKj
"The time WINNER came to see us," said Christine as the realisation settled in.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP0pr08q8R
"And they would take his word because he has Daesung and Seungri to back him up," I said.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvG7atB9yz
"And also because he's 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBOkTJcVbB
our senior," said Zoey as she folded her arms. "That's how he even 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5noQVxtpB
managed to set this meeting up in the first place."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNQPbuUrxm
"Well, you Toxins did your homework," said G-Dragon.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsoPokPdjD
"Why do I feel like I'm in court?" Seungyoon asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3h4GUndd4
"It's because we are and we have to take defence," I said.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDBOn7rgZv
"Can't we just settle this matter somehow?" Jinwoo asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2lMigCOxJ
"Why do I feel I just entered an episode of Suits?" Mike asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzpLozl0RK
I turned to look at Mike and I wasn't the only who did. Mike shrugged his shoulders.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jcfefSYmO
"What? I watch Suits from time to time."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX6mHSDm1w
"What will it take so that you won't tell our managers?" Seunghoon asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYQIztPkVa
G-Dragon smiled. He had 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGPiMuvYbD
us right where he wanted. I was so not liking this right now. When I 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4btxyPvjOD
thought we would be dealing with our managers, we actually were meant to1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUKDaarAXf
deal with G-Dragon instead.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZBMQamGev
"I'm glad you brought that up because I was thinking of the same thing," said G-Dragon.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3N9stot4h
"What do you want?" I asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGSISAVT5m
G-Dragon looked at me as1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVHYw8TNhp
he bit his lip. I looked straight at him in the eye wondering why he 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLa1HbxI6G
was doing all of this. I had a hunch, but I had to be sure of it before I1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYMvNle1Od
came to any conclusions.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMuGJMy54P
"To make things clear 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhCiQRiZ3h
with all of you," said G-Dragon. "I might have brought up this idea of a1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzhF8FtERz
meeting in the first place concerning BTW, but the managers had been 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGuD6sbE6k
thinking about doing the same thing."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO6cmecYrZ
"That still doesn't change the fact that all this was your idea," said Seungyoon.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHzvQXfyOw
"You're right. And just to give you a heads up, the managers aren't going to let BTW be a group."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo6PE38u2R
"We already know that," said Zoey. "We all had a feeling that it would come to this."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjH8i1voO0
"And we will not allow it," said Rosé.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0bxX3Pwr0
"Most of us are up for this idea and some of the fans too," said Mino.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslzxJUi71N
"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."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2krCdQclru
"You want us to agree or else you tell our managers everything," I said.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLjIjhK9VH
"All's fair in love and 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvkuOmnuYq
war." G-Dragon gave a huge smile. "You guys are stubborn and they might 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwstdna9GDl
just agree to your whims. So just accept what they bring up and we can 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI1PxFDLEr
go and pretend we never even had this meeting."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIxGaHM3aG
"Come on," Christine 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuU9ILEGL6
complained. "As if BTW is even going to be an ongoing thing. The Toxins 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOryRfoXKs
won't be here for long and you know it."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27M2O3uCDT
"Christine's right," said Lisa. "I don't think it's wrong if we make BTW temporarily."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnniua3ZERL
"BTW is nothing but a 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4BaZrLca8
collaborative group on my part," I said. "It's almost in the same way 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWewZeatNTq
artists collaborate. Like the way The Toxins and BigBang did."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmtB0TAhE8
"I firmly agree with Sam," said Jisoo.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecA3WXwY1J
"We all do," said Seunghoon. "Just imagine what BTW can do."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuqZRZfq84
"Who knows, we might just have our own show!" Zoey said excitedly.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDPeFuW17U
"Which won't last long by the way," pointed out Mike.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E485bjZJ1
"And it's going to attract a lot of media attention like it did yesterday," said Jinwoo.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUG9uyORbY
"We might just make BTW involved in market promotions too," said Mino.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4xa2Y9h8q
"That's being business minded and I like it," said Jennie.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVaeXSm3WR
"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.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkvxk0FAR9
"Well, you guys can dream all you want but it isn't going to happen," said G-Dragon.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRsaItOEKH
Upon saying that, the 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CjLOl1Gh1
door to the conference room flew open. I turned to the door and coming 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzD8Id530e
in were the two managers and Lee. For a moment I grew silent with 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FyHXx6bX7
everyone else in the room due to their sudden presence. Those who were 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjwPnd8q9x
seated stood up.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfeBBTwpy6
I gulped. I hope the 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FP5WXQwld
managers hadn't heard the entire conversation. Especially the part where1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0Op33WHaF
G-Dragon was to get us in trouble by telling them the truth.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gxLgmAUFs
The two managers had 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CXR46t4gX
their eyes on me at first and I felt they had finally figured what was 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFtupwmSm7
going on. I wanted to break into a sweat when they looked at me. But I 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fVW0x2Nbi
kept myself calm telling myself that I maybe over thinking and nothing 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsEda1t3Tc
is wrong.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHMyUTQVSk
"Good that you're all 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDbYttIl7Y
here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We have a few things to discuss. Zoey, 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lb2akLbOV
Seunghoon, Sam, Jiyong, take your seats, please. And everyone else too."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaolQ2ShdZF
I have always hated it 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCCyfhPrlu
when managers have that serious tone in their voice that shook every 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXLmNJZZdg
cell in your body. I quickly took the chair in front of me and G-Dragon 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKSjDLFofu
sat to my left and Seunghoon to my right. For some reason, I felt really1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEdGdkkbto
uncomfortable sitting in between them. The others sat back down on 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofwI2sVbk7
their seats.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJyDscN8vq
The two managers and Lee1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylCkietstj
stood at the other end of the table and we all had our eyes on them. I 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijMMj0ShKJ
started to silently tap my fingers on the polished wooden table as I bit1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UE8BkoA68
my lower lip. I turned to look at the others and even though some were 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AkLhhatQv
trying to put up a straight face, I could tell they were as nervous as I1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj2fdhenhP
was.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdavBCBoGlS
"Everyone in here looks really tense," said Collins. "As though you weren't the ones laughing about yesterday at Time Square."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY3Lz8rnmJ
"Well, we all know why we are," I said as I looked at Collins. "And we know it's something serious."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwlpMN6kHg
"You're right, it is serious," said Yang Hyun-suk.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiCTVI6bt9
Zoey sighed loudly in 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZYzggPuVG
frustration and everyone turned to look at her. "Please just say it 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw6jtASLwc
already," she said. "'You created a huge mess yesterday, blah, blah, 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeBcGKGzbA
blah you weren't supposed to meet, blah, blah, blah and so BTW was just a1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJq0p5EIZ3
one day thing.' Some of us just want to go back to the hotel and watch 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji4TQL30OL
some K-drama to forget the horrible aftermath of this meeting."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3gphV6QNP
The two managers 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz3WWbxqF5
chuckled at Zoey's response and I couldn't figure out why they found it 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXs5Szv5as
so amusing when most of us in this room were grieving in the inside. 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOkX80qIM2
That was so not cool.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3DGyTd0S8
"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."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVI5H9fLVp
"Here we go," muttered Jessie as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in despair.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Nj3ptqcn
"But that doesn't mean we can't reconsider it," said Collins.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60DccWIiTa
My ears perked up when 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhWvMTKhlC
Collins said the word "reconsider." And I bet the others were all 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRtJbLIUMQ
attentive too. Could it be that they might just turn things around?1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhVSGfuTu0
Seunghoon cleared his throat. "What do you mean?" he asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxEhkgdQwY
"We heard you outside 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsRQNsP3Tw
the door discussing or rather debating about making BTW a real group 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr7KajjqWa
thing even if it's just temporary," said Yang Hyun-suk.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O66OZtNaS
"And as stood by the door, we reconsidered giving BTW a shot," said Collins.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49lXQqG71F
"For real?" I couldn't believe my ears.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx4gkx6Goz
"Yes, Sam. For real," 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiJsaRn87v
said Yang Hyun-suk. "But don't get your hopes up because we have to go 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeAclEz6Q8
through further scrutiny about this decision."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCM7xyCxfl
I smiled. Even if they 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb259rQpTeh
were saying we shouldn't get our hopes up, it was quiet clear they were 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mVzgXGLjS
up for the idea themselves and that meant BTW was a go.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLLC49NyQE
There was an exciting 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLzkkWU5bc
feeling in the air now that the whole BTW crew were all rejuvenated by 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBImmB7tu3g
the exciting news. We were all smiling to ourselves and already I could 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieRbIFi5vz
see that Zoey and Lisa who sat next to each other were ready to clap 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENzJVcCtqD
their hands but they hid them under the table so that the managers 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHW5uSXO3n
wouldn't notice as they clapped silently.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtePkFdhze
"Are you sure about this?" G-Dragon asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEO5HkkIfM
I turned to my other 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfoqj3Tdqk
side and I realised that the whole time we had been talking to our 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkm36g6jz4
managers, I had been so oblivious that GD was sitting next to me. Maybe 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTG4nwh6ZB
it's because right now, he felt like a traitor and his presence right 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7YJgJHZeI
now, didn't matter.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6f7hR9ehx
"You heard them when 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8u17ZGfcB
they talked to you about it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "In such cases, it's 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsNXi3cIgX
good to be business minded and see how all this goes."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28DomFRBeH
"So, you all agree to this, right?" Mike asked with his eyebrow raised just to be sure.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViNGf2ncyo
"To be perfectly clear, yes, we agree," said Collins.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbmKSTlSWo
"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.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84I6I8P5sh
This time it was me, or I1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdlcT8qF92
can say, BTW, trapping G-Dragon. G-Dragon turned to look at me and he 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC6aF41uxO
knew it. The managers' plan in the first place was not to make BTW an 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhbEJqACBp
official group and if we refused, they would G-Dragon would tell them 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEYmWG971b
our secret and there would be no BTW. And due to the condition G-Dragon 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF8fjPoYgD
had laid out for us in the first place, there was simply no need for him1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkssgQSWQbm
to reveal our little secret anymore. All he told us to do was to agree 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwZj3m4xgm
to whatever the managers' decision was and we were doing just that. And 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc1anv6Jgv
there was no going back on his word. Look who's laughing now.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMvDF8uuyp
"Of course you should agree because whatever we decide is an order," said Yang Hyun-suk.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFdaYMWHzF
"Yep, an order is an order," said Mino with a huge grin on his face.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfdbXReU4e
"I really thought they wouldn't make BTW official," said Jisoo. "Now that it is, I agree."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7pBYNCYQF
"We all agree," said Daniel.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZneHgSzHP
"Hold your horses, people," said G-Dragon. "It hasn't been made official."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0CUjtGiwF
"But just because it 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8shhamhEhz
hasn't, doesn't mean that it will," said Seunghoon as he looked over at 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6xxOxGOC5
G-Dragon with a victory smile on his face. That made me smile even more.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwqJiJtdsX
"Okay, so that's settled1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxG3i8SNia
then," said Collins. "We will discuss for now and see what the seniors 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z7C88Ug7h
have to say. Once they agree, we will begin with the paper work and make1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuOXJFsHDN
BTW official."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xiA3ZfalE
"Of course they will agree," said Rosé. "Who wouldn't?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDXyiRPSyZ
I noticed that most of 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaJaoVxKC6
the eyes on the table especially from BTW flew to G-Dragon. Mine also 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSfOZdRNpq
did the same. Luckily, the managers never noticed a thing. But Lee did 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGUkIIGn0k
when she looked at me and I grinned.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf7i1eNPPP
"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."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkru7kyFNY
There was dead silence in the room when Yang Hyun-suk mentioned he had one condition. My heart started to race.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56TMXIchcK
"Before we make BTW 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCL2mK0nAs
official, may I advise that you three groups don't meet each other too 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH88tR31XL
often," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We don't want to raise a lot of people's 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG178qyHH3
hopes thinking that the group might be official so you better keep it 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjxNftSnk2
low for a while. Is that good?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4aU7Z8ND9
"Fine by me," said Seungyoon. "As long as we can ask for your permission from time to time."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmQaxB2luK
"That's fair enough," 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCPzev6LLP
said Collins. "But today, you won't go and hang out after this because 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqhGtj1MfA
already there are too many of your fans lurking around hoping for BTW to1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8h9gp7dvS
be official and they can use anything just to let other people believe 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ221J7xHney
so."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVhegQrMyR
"So you want to crush 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc7XpauH8d
their hopes and later surprise them when you make the group official," I1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrkfOZZ0Ly
said while I nodded my head. "I had to admit, that's a pretty good 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uGkCWqek4
strategy."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldo6CHXq5c
"Then if all is well and1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡligeXm2FwM
good, we will be leaving then," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We will keep you 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqjOLOL706
updated and not a word on social media."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMIytHPjQB
I stood up from my seat 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj2qIoJy06
and everyone else did the same. As our managers made their way for the 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw7JMtmS9l
door with Lee I couldn't help but smile and just as they were about to 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQJGi0TQQj
walk out, I stopped them.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2WcBJ1tCZ
"Wait," I said and the two managers turned to look at me.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpSOWzDpUc
"What is it, Sam?" Collins asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHGUO7zcBR
"Thank you," I beamed and I bowed. "Kamsahabnida (감사합니다)."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgB7klQv4n
The rest of BTW also bowed and also said thank you. The two managers smiled at our lovely gesture.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wD7L0hJyb
"If it weren't for that I might just declare BTW official today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xn3O2DdcM
"You would?" Zoey, Jessie, Christine and Jisoo asked at the same time. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvRtFGkChq
"No." Yang Hyun-suk 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XGSpcTCfH
smiled even more and he walked out of the room with Collins. Lee waited a1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt7NZnUyE9
few seconds by the door until the managers disappeared down the hall.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAsKeM3rX5
"Congratulations, BTW," she said quietly. She looked really happy. "You did it!"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbr7uy8jin
"Another music collaboration for The Toxins," I said with a smile.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFhluihhje
"And triple more of the fun," said Mike.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhI8Lq6DMU
"Now that I totally agree," said Daniel as he gave his brother a high five.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6le2T4u8n
"This is like the best 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy026qcYoN
news ever," said Zoey. "Thank you so much, Sam for making me feel like 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoMqwDNZ8m
all hope was lost when actually things turned out alright."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArAjRiBHZe
"I don't think you should be thanking Sam for that," said Jinwoo.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uA0XB26JI
"Jinwoo's right," I said. "We wouldn't have been able to get our managers to reconsider if it wasn't for G-Dragon."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKcU3FnS8p
The room grew silent as all eyes were on Jiyong. I looked at him through the corner of my eye and smiled.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3DQIdXDRj
"I've to admit you played me very well," said G-Dragon with a look of defeat on his face. "Congrats."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaRxdolDlq
"All this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to trap us in the first place," said Seunghoon.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QrBGEM9jJ
"I knew there was a 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AGUIWJq4N
reason for G-Dragon to have called for this meeting in the first place,"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdluQ0tjuQ
said Lee. She shook her head in disappointment as she looked at 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvaYe5eHQB
G-Dragon.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMYmqL8zdv
"You knew?" Christine asked.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczQCY9pzit
"I got to find out when I went to see the managers."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqDslxQ96I
"But everything turned in our favour in the end," said Lisa. "So, I'm not even that mad at him at all."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ETKKyE8fI
"You just got lucky because the managers happen to be eavesdropping on our conversation at the wrong time," said G-Dragon.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq5vDaNcW7
"At the right time on our part," said Mino.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP004KvGufN
"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.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJznRBxJSJ
"Thank you, G-Dragon!" BlackPink said all together. "We love you!"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl2kjQjtmI
"Well, you guys can tell1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl2CyDM7UT
me how this all went down from the beginning, but right now, you all 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AnNBHdh0Y
have to go," said Lee. "And I'm supposed to see to it that you all 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVAyhAfvii
aren't going to go into the same car."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2NCfqtElc
"Don't worry, we won't disobey our managers after all this," I said. "Can I have a talk with G-Dragon alone, please?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbekFxwmyxI
Everyone else started to1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0wrt54kVx
slowly step out of the room and I made sure to say bye to BlackPink and1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm6r1f6pva
WINNER. When everyone had left, Lee closed the door behind her. It was 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bf7LpDcvR
only G-Dragon and I.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfF3ecz7bp
"I'm mad at you," I started.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R45Bd2pnh
"I know," he replied. "Sam....."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfbTlLw0r6
"Save it." I held my 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjAlRo9NkJ
hand up to silence him. "You know, you reminded me of all those times 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25XoDTC43Q
you and I used to get into a fight and it seems you're bringing it all 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY1aU2HKP4
back. I thought we were past that but now it's like you want to bring up1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYbDq2y8jP
a war again."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUBh35xvbM
"I'm not trying to bring up a war."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUOoCxuBsj
"You put us in a horrible position and we had to fight against you. That my friend, is called a war."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx8FqbDq4p
"Look, Sam, you've already won and I admit that trying to rattle you out to our managers was wrong of me."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTS77rQQO9
I folded my arms. "Great! You realise it now when everything backfired on you and you didn't get what you want."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJCV3iBp0W
G-Dragon looked at me 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNhetfoAyh
and me at him. Right now, I was fuming and I felt like I was going to 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWOTe6Fqwv
burst. I never knew he would turn on us like this and it hurt me like a 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWwrpIYbHA
stab in the heart.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeR6gM0P6E
"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."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38rkvSve6o
"You know, the others 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwANl1ST40
might forgive you because of the outcome but I am so mad that you could 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UL378oT7T
ever do this just because you don't like it when we went out to hang out1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTEQSSppln
with WINNER yesterday."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed6nybYi0P
"If you're trying to say that I'm jealous, then yes, I am."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc3HtGgbAq
I nodded my head. What I1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxfD2XPBcp
thought from the beginning the time I came to the conference room was 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hWDCZqEHJ
true. He was jealous. Not just of The Toxins hanging out with WINNER but1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbwvMkn9cJ
of Seunghoon and I.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfAZcYnxxT
"You know you and I can 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8RLc5mroO
only be friends and that relationship can't go any further than that. 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUGawArdka
It's the same thing with Seunghoon. And until you get over it, I suggest1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGguONcW8u
you find a way for me to forgive you or this friendship might just go 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOD8456t6V
down the rocks."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tEjSloivd
I headed for the door 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnOWwyLOeW
without a second thought and I didn't even get to look at him one. As 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcFJowIWci
soon as I found myself in the hall heading for the elevator, there stood1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwa4cpQny6
Zoey, waiting.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqhCC1eUVr
"I'm guessing you put him in his place," said Zoey as I approached her.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwds3Tr5DOr
"I sure hope so," I said1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkuoYH0n1C
with a sigh. I felt like I had just arm wrestled with a body builder 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktFRUBClfs
and emerged victorious, but at the same time came out exhausted.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbTStrbYYk
"When you're this mad, trust me, you do know how to put people in their place."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBuE22Wfcs
Zoey turned around and pressed the button to summon the elevator. When the elevator came, we stepped in and the doors closed.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDVIaY0clf
"I guess you figured out what G-Dragon and I talked about last night," said Zoey as she looked at me.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU98cibKkrW
"It wasn't that hard to figure it out," I said.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7ZmUJ2Zwk
"Just like it wasn't hard for you to know that G-Dragon would be here. Sometimes your mind works like a supercomputer."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a7b2dRyqM
"You know computers are 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo1OqTrxD6
just dumb machines, right?" I looked at Zoey. "They only do what they do1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVMba5YmbX
because they have commands installed in them to work as they are 1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZKGEXaA1V
supposed to."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RaTZrt3Pe
"You're right. You're like a detective who plays by her own rules and always connects the dots."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi7ZLfZqX0
I smiled. "You always call me that."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡducx6rSU33
"Ya, because you're smart too."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCeBdYqVhZ
The elevator reached the ground floor and we came out of the elevator finding ourselves in the lobby.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLg9JUyflA
"You know we should celebrate our victory," said Zoey.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3blEWgOzUX
"How?" I asked. "The group hasn't been made official and we can't celebrate when the three groups aren't together."1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwir4WZ3U3
"We can figure something out," said Zoey. "We won't have to be all together in one place, you know?"1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRoqewHNC3
"I think I've an idea," I said as we walked out into the parking lot heading to the car.1094Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxn3w6rPJo
"I knew you would," said Zoey as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
